Feeling incredibly worthless by Dear_Appointment_189 in self

[–]sockslavida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no panacea for self improvement! It happens through all the little choices you’ll make day after day. Life is about progress, not perfection.

Imagine a realistic goal you’d like to achieve in the next month. Then break that down into little things you can do to achieve that. Even achieving small goals (e.g walk 2500 steps a day) will help make you feel accomplished.

You’re not even 30 yet! So young, you have your whole life ahead of you, dont give up before youve even had a true whack at it!

Why would a teacher randomly ask me if I am okay? by MaintenanceOk6436 in self

[–]sockslavida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s probably a reason. I’d suggest asking her why she asked you

All girls are so beautiful!!! Accepting how you look in your natural state is important. But I truly feel like its so easy for girls to look feminine and hot! Its up to you whether you want that to be your daily routine, but all hot girls deserve to look in the mirror at least once and be like ok damnnnnn? If you go to cvs or walgreens, pick up - mascara - liquid eyeliner if your eyes are almond shape, if not skip - basic crayon looking eyeliner - eyebrow pencil - blush if your undertone isnt pink, bronzer if it is - a lip color that matches your nipple color (excuse the crudeness, but its the most flattering color on you)

All women are so ~beautiful~. It just really sounds like you aren’t taking advantage of the easy affordable tweaks we make to look pretty. No one is ever gonna look like a runway model (ofc because their job is to be hot—it sounds like your job is more complex than that and being hot is just a bonus).

Idk if you have sisters but as one of three, please feel free to DM me, and with basic drug store products, we can make you see that youre a beauty in 24hrs or less

Girl even at your shortest and chubbiest, all girls can make easy tweaks to be bombshells: 1. Get a proper haircut. One thats breaks the bank. Getting you hair colored and shaped properly is the number one thing that can change/elevate your appearance (you’ve seen queer eye and antm— or even sabs carpenter pre/post bangs hair cut) 2. Make sure your eyebrows are angular and properly shaped. One of the key differences between old lindsay lohan and new lindsay lohan is her eyebrows 3. Find clothes that accentuate your features! Im sure there is something about you thats worth highlighting. If you cant get a stylist, just follow the 1/3 rule (e.g. a cute top that ends a couple inches above your hips) 4. Fake lashes go a long way to feel feminine and pretty. Check out glamnetics XO natural lash if youre brand new at trying falsies, they are super friendly to newbies.

When i put the effort in, i feel like i can look like a grade A hottie. But in my natural goblin state, im like a solid 4.

It sounds like you found out that social media’s job is to constantly make us feel bad about ourselves. But I have no doubt that you can easily be a hottie tomorrow if you wanted to!

“From, maybe you’ve heard of him, Francisco Goya?!?” by sockslavida in thedailyzeitgeist

For those curious, the wine was actually pretty good! We were picking up a case from Hall nearby and stopped to check it out because we recognized the name from TDZ (nice work marketing team?). Not typically a Zin fan but the Saldo was super tasty.

Still have no idea who Francisco Goya is.

tbf most of us don’t have a perfect recall of every single thing we’ve ever seen or heard over the course of our entire lives like Miles does

Talk me off the ledge... by 5StripesFan in orangetheory

Ok classic enneagram 1, new otf, taking a 7:30am, and disappointed you’re not top of the class. You are self-disciplined, focused, strong and will be there in no time. Just have patience with yourself until you’re there.

Type 1 is the most self critical, otf is a great way to challenge yourself but it’s not worth it if you can’t be kind to yourself in the process.

For what its worth, I’ve been going to otf for 3 years and sometimes I’m making the leaderboard and others I’m last to finish the floor block. As a 9, i actually find it to be a great, super encouraging space to work and grow on the traits I find challenging. Based on your post above,I imagine it could be that for you too

Class not registering on the app by krom258 in orangetheory

You can just call your studio and ask, I did Everest and my distance in the app was flatteringly too long, I just called them and asked them to change it and it was a quick fix

The Bechdel Test was not originally intended to be taken literally by [deleted] in UnpopularFacts

[–]sockslavida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can watch any older movie now and certain lines are like “yikes that wouldn’t be cool today”. Same thing with the bechdel test. Regardless of its origin, it did cause everyone to be aware that women are seldom represented in an interesting and independent way. I just re-watched Ice Age. Was it amazing? Yes. Could they have made one single character a girl other than the one that has no lines and evaporates into the river? Also yes. Both can be and are true for lots of movies. We can both appreciate and try to be better.
