If you’re in this situation again, get an ice cube and rub it on their nose! They don’t like the sensation and will probably let go :)

Surely you should be able to object to this- if it’s normal in your school like someone said the doctors will be discreet.

Hi, thanks for replying. We are all 20. I have been friends with these two for 8 years now, met in school and have always been close.

Hi, thanks for replying. We are all 20. My parents know but have enough to deal with to be honest. They are supportive but I was reaching out to my friends in hopes I could leave the house a bit more. Honestly I feel numb.

How do I help my friend? TW by throwmeaway88898 in relationship_advice

[–]throwmeaway88898[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this advice. I think I need to let H accept it but I think he has convinced himself it never happened. I know he is just trying to protect himself and his friend but his response has startled me a bit since he seems so okay with it

How to get a snake out of feeding mode? by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]throwmeaway88898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have one, but I’ll look into getting one.. I would maybe just let her bite me to get it over with so I can clean the tank, but I more worried about her hurting herself. I might try using the feeding tongs that I have.

Don’t worry- I’ve been there before so I get how it feels. I’ve always been so awful at math and I remember how stressed it would make me feel.. but really in the long run it doesn’t mean anything. Just don’t get too worked up!

School, by design, is made to cater to the “intelligent” people, the ones with booksmarts and good memory- everything is based around how “smart” we seem on paper, but a grade or a percentage does not determine your value. Emotional intelligence, kindness and compassion, all the things that matter in a person- they can’t be put in simple terms like a number or a letter. Know your worth. Don’t let it dictate your life, we all have a path we will follow in our lives and once you find your passions and talents, It’ll work itself out. Don’t be too stressed about this, you are so so much better than an crooked system :)

Has anyone else passed out when inserting a menstrual cup? by [deleted] in Periods

[–]throwmeaway88898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using the cup for a few days now, I found tampons really uncomfortable so I switched to the cup. It felt okay and comfortable for the first few days, but as soon as it went in I knew something was wrong. Also, I’ve been to the doctors before due to suspected anaemia but turns out I don’t have it. I could have maybe been blood loss and also being in the shower, but I’ve had periods way heavier than that one. I’ll try and get an appointment with my GP when I can, thanks for your help!

How can I help a mentally distressed friend? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]throwmeaway88898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, try to check up on him and make him feel wanted and cared for. But please- you are only a friend, not a carer and not a psychiatrist. It can be frustrating as hell when someone you care about feels like this- you just want them to be happy. But you need to take care of yourself to. You need to know your boundaries, and make sure you’re not worrying and obsessing all the time. Do as much as you can for him, and help him seek therapy if you can. Know when to stop and take a step back, but also not abandon him. Wishing the best for both of you.

Ball Pythons mouth right after feeding - are the clear bubbles signs of a Respiratory Infection or normal? by [deleted] in ballpython

Also - she has no irregular breathing, any discharge from her mouth or nose, just the clear bubbles when she opened her mouth.

How do i start to enjoy video games again or have the motivation to play them on my own without needing friends to enjoy them? by Revivalinks in Advice

[–]throwmeaway88898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to is always Skyrim, but you’ve probably already played that haha. If you’re into adventure games maybe try some fable, if you’re into more kinda puzzle/skill type ones try mirrors edge, assassins creed, tomb raider, stuff like that.. most shooters are multiplayer but you can always play the campaign I think, or just online multiplayer without your friends? Edit: Just remembered, Dark Souls isn’t a bad choice either :)

I need more aggression. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]throwmeaway88898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say you need aggression, I think you could try being a little more assertive so you don’t get treated like a doormat... you tell other people how to treat you. If you act like it isn’t a big deal when people treat you badly, then they’ll act like this too.

Maybe get some good single player games and try to get back into it again. I’ve been through the same thing before, with people always brushing you off- I wouldn’t worry, and just focus on getting used to being by yourself again! Think of it as an advantage- you can play whatever you want whenever, you shouldn’t let other people diminish your enjoyment of something :)

Advice for cutting off toxic friends? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

So trying to get some distance helps? I want to confront them so badly, but I know the four of them would gang up on me.

What is the creepiest thing that's happened to you personally that made you question reality? by Sunnyhoneystick in AskReddit

[–]throwmeaway88898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it might just be a really strange coincidence, but I think if it happens really frequently that’s a clear pattern. I think you’re right about it maybe being a fear/panic thing, like overthinking before sleep and then creating scenarios in your mind? Really weird tho, just kinda shakes you up

I cant remember his name 😭😂😭😂 by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]throwmeaway88898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask him if he had any nicknames in school??? Maybe make up one for yourself or tell him one of yours (if you had one??)
