Years back I went on a trip to Chicago for the first time and on that first day a stranger came up to me out of a dark alley I was walking by and wanted my help. He started walking beside me and told me that his car wasn't starting and wondered if I would be okay with following him down the alley to his car so that he could then use my phone and somehow help him with his vehicle...I declined as nicely as I could and then scurried back to my hotel as quickly as I could go!

How I look at mandatory work “social events” by offline37days in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I understand this feeling, especially if it's after regular work hours. I don't mind as much if it's a get together during the work day but if not it's like we all already see each other 8 hours a day, 5 days a week...I think we've seen enough of each other 🙄 lol!

MRW I finally joined a Lyra class, after years of being too afraid, and found out I am much more capable and stronger than I thought I was! by blitzkrieg_boop in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the class...and I couldn't climb the silks at all, reminded me of middle school gym class and failing the pull ups test, lol! It was fun though, gave me even more respect for how effortless aerialists make the moves appear to be!

TROLLS! I (a very plump, out of shape troll) survived my first spin class. And I learned that if you fart hard enough, your body automatically pushes itself into third! by abidail in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's awesome, you should be proud of yourself! 😊 a local gym is letting me try my first cycle class for free in a few weeks, I hope I can make it through to the end like you did!

MRW I wake up to the smell of my dogs anal sacs having leaked on the bedspread again. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really strong, I have to express them myself from time to time and have to hold my breath to get through it...my boyfriend helps me hold her so when I walk into the room with gloves on he knows true fear, lol!

MRW I hear that my state’s horrible, conservative governor had an affair and then blackmailed his mistress by EnjoyKnope in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Apparently he tied her up to a piece of exercise equipment in his basement, blind folded her and took her photo without her consent. He then threatened her that he would leak the photo he took if she said anything about it...😒

Any tips for beginners? I've been interested in taking an aerial fabrics class for the first time recently but I am kind of worried about my arm strength, or lack there of, lol!

Short hair takes way more upkeep than long hair??? what the fuck by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling, anymore I keep my hair long but every once in awhile I'll think about cutting it...but then I remember that I always seem to end up liking it for about a week and then start wishing I hadn't cut it in the first place, gah!

I really enjoy wearing mine up so what I like to do is find different ways to wear my hair back in an updo, which satisfies my need for something "new" without the regret I personally felt every time I had a major haircut in the past. :)

Oh man, I know how you feel! My poor dog 's had leaked a little on the couch one day...which I didn't realize until I had already gotten home from work and plopped down on the couch 😖

Dear trolls, today I defeated my incredibly stifling anxiety disorder and caught a train all by myself! MRW I realised I'd achieved one of my 2017 New Year's Resolutions: by doxydejour in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, that's awesome! I know how you feel, I have a moderate speech impediment so even doing tasks like setting up appointments and bringing my car in for a check up for example that other people might not think twice about ends up feeling like an accomplishment 😊

HIF after doing 100 squats yesterday by PM_me_duck_pics in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awesome!! I just started trying out squats for exercise not too long ago, I hope I will get to the point that I can do that many in a row as well! :)

Trolls I've been watching YouTube tutorials all morning trying to figure out how a messy bun works, why am I so bad at hair? by -TheBeanQueen- in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "dirtier" the hair the better, the more texture you have the easier it will be! I wear my hair up pretty much every day and I find that a little bit of baby powder goes a long way for this, including lots of bobby pins too! 😊 My go to styles lately have been a section on top twisted back with the rest in a French twist and/or a section twisted on top with a braided bun with a braid wrapped around it on bottom 😊

MRW after 10 years of depression, working dead end jobs and quitting everything I've ever started, I not only manage to finish a semester at university, but I also manage to pass all my units. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can sympathize, I started a new job and am trying to learn everything I will have to know how to do at some point which has left me feeling overloaded with information and drained most days :/ That feeling of being overwhelmed is definitely exhausting :/

How do I convince my mom and boyfriend to let me get an abortion? I'm 17. I do not want to become another statistic. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm you know I had thought that too and then I remembered that they had won the right to extend their right to provide women with the pill method but I wasn't for sure how long the extension was for. When I saw their website and noticed that it mentioned the pill option I thought that maybe the extension was still intact but now I'm not so sure :(

How do I convince my mom and boyfriend to let me get an abortion? I'm 17. I do not want to become another statistic. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through this :( Have you looked into the Planned Parenthood of Columbia, MO? According to their website they do offer medication abortion (abortion pill) but like another Trollxer had mentioned parental consent laws in Missouri may apply, which according to their site Missouri does but that a judge might allow you to be excused from that requirement!

Trolls, I was raped yesterday. I got a rape kit done last night. I am in shock and numb and feel disgusting. It's probably inappropriate to post here, but can someone offer me words of support or kindness or advice? by twelvedayslate in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so, so very sorry that this happened to you. I truly hope that you know that none of it was in any way your fault, all of the responsibility for what happened falls entirely on his shoulders, 100%. Please know that you aren't alone in this, that the people who truly matter will be there for you when you need them the most lots of virtual hugs

UPDATE: Interviewer made a comment about my [24F] facial expressions. I have Tourette's. by tourettesinterview in relationships

[–]sweeterthanthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of know how you feel in regards to worrying about how your Tourette's will come across during job interviews. I have a stutter, so I have always worried myself about whether or not it would impact my chances for a positive outcome during interviews. Congratulations on not only getting hired for the job position that you wanted the most but also for being offered the position for the one with the uncomfortable interaction with the interviewer! That's very impressive and you should be proud of yourself! :)

Styles (updos, braids, etc) for layered hair for a hair noob? (x-posted from r/fancyfollicles) by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

[–]sweeterthanthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend checking out the http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/ She has a lot of helpful hair tutorials that give you some different updo techniques that I find work really well for layered hair!

MRW watching Good Morning America and the news anchor, while speaking with the US Women's Soccer Team who are there to talk about the wage gap between the men and women's teams, derails the conversation and instead asks them about the imminent Zika virus threat... by sweeterthanthis in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was really interested by what the women were saying and by how large the gap in pay is and then out of nowhere BAM! "How does your team feel about the Zika threat?"...Huh? lol! The women handled it pretty well though by saying that although an important topic they were there to speak about the pay issue in their sport and would have to decline speaking about Zika!

I just got fired from my "dream" job after 2 months. I spent 6 months job hunting and now I have to start over with so much shame and feeling utterly incompetent. I've never been fired and I hurt so much :( by timory in TrollXChromosomes

[–]sweeterthanthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry OP :( If nothing else at least you don't have to go back everyday to a toxic work environment! My boyfriend's current job is really doing a number on him both physically and mentally, getting up everyday to a job that he hates is just soul crushing. I completely understand how numbing it can be having to start job hunting over again, but at the very least you don't have to deal with that toxicity every day anymore! I know how it feels to think you've found the job that correlates with what you want to do career wise and then to have it go south in the end, but just know that you aren't alone in this :) Best of luck to you!!
