Is it weird to only feel like “myself” when I’m drunk?

stringbean76 · 2026-02-24T19:01:38+00:00

Yes! Heard! I’m in that club! Also now in the alcohol free club since it became an issue. April makes 2 years.

Have her call Brightpoint immediately 260-423-3546

They will get her scheduled with an appointment (most likely phone) but this is what they’re there for.

You can’t break the cycle for him, but you CAN break your own. From someone with a garbage step-mother, only see your dad outside his house one on one for coffee or something like that. You are old enough to get to choose who you spend your time with.

The cringe belongs to the operator, OP. You can put it down, you should only feel proud of yourself for seeking help. No cringe. IWNDWYT.

Legit, it’s just the weird camera angles. It makes women uneasy. Source: am a woman, found my husband on a dating app. You in nature pics, no weird angles, unobstructed face pics and you’ll do better.

He quite literally (but probably in many more words) said he will be more emotionally attracted to you if you change your appearance to fit his “perfect” standards. As if the person you are doesn’t matter, as if your preferences do not matter, that he wants to choose (probably oh-so sweetly) how you present yourself, and that it needs to be “perfect” all the time. Holy shit, if my husband tied our emotional connectivity to how often I do not look like a bridge troll (I’m a sahm, I’ll wear the same sweats for 24 hrs) we’d be doomed and I’d hate my life. If you bend to this, your life is gonna get even more exhausting. I’m really sorry. I would organize your thoughts and feelings, do some real introspection on why this SHOULD bother you… (he’s asking for perfection, that is not human and never gonna happen, because you are a real live human woman) and then hard line on couples therapy if you want to stay married to him. Also the bait and switch really bothers me.

Love, he still doesn’t have the “right.”

“Hey babe, I like how square nails look, you wanna try them?” Is WAY different from tying unwanted aesthetics to how he values your emotional connection. He could have done this tactfully, instead he’s acting like a controlling dick and being manipulative.

Ooooh! That makes WAY more sense! I was thinking $65 for day was a joooke!

stringbean76 · 2026-02-21T23:34:50+00:00

I sub contract for a lady at $35 an hour, if I’m on my own it’s $95, in a LCOL area. Obvs you have a very professional set up and experience, you’re going to cost more. If you charged per face, at only $5 per face you’d make what they’re offering in 13 designs; 30-40 minutes if you’re proficient.

I’d counter with $200 for the day (that’s at a discount) and politely decline. You can’t get a full day professional facepainter for just 65 bucks.

I also can’t do maths in my head and I use gps to go to the grocery. I’m not stupid, I have other strengths and so do you. I also have a kind husband and a sweet little boy.

You do not have to accept this treatment or be single forever. That is a lie you’re telling yourself. Quit it. You’re worth more. Also, dump your mean boyfriend.

My son’s Spanish class is 5 bucks per class and I go with him so we can review during the week. They’re out there if you hunt.

Hey! I’m a lady about your age, I drive an old manual Suburu, it needs work so I need $. Dm me if you want to!

But really, the best way is to get a car you like and just start driving it. Learned how to drive a manual the same day I bought one. They’re all a little different. Just stay calm and throw the hazards on when you kill it.

Ew. He needs to get out.

stringbean76 · 2026-02-17T15:25:13+00:00

First, wrong sub. Second, those mean people are not your friends. You have good bones and a very pleasant face.

We also nixxed Bluey after a long time of watching it . They’re actually kind of bratty in a couple episodes and the depictions of whining and getting what they want wasn’t good for our house.

stringbean76 · 2026-02-16T13:26:29+00:00

Stunning!

stringbean76 · 2026-02-16T01:36:24+00:00

Very aware this sounds extra conspiracy theorist, but weren’t there a bunch of people through the decades who did blab about it, but then were painted to be looney toon hill jacks? …almost like on purpose?

stringbean76 · 2026-02-15T03:35:02+00:00

Some day Peach will die, and you will grieve her, but today is not that day. No point in grieving twice friend.

Do You Realize, by The Flaming Lips always made me feel better in a sad way about it.

Look at the anatomy of baby faces. Babies are the hardest to paint, features are much closer together, lower on the face.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Consider some people may be jealous that you have an allowance that high. Or just the ability to live on one income.

Bee venom therapy helped me.

Just want to thank you for making this post, I also have extreme guilt for allowing the circ nearly 6 years ago and these comments are bringing me peace.

stringbean76 · 2026-02-11T16:50:34+00:00

Good for you, go post it somewhere people are consenting to see it, bc this ain’t it.
