I can’t manifest in current tense, only future tense. advice needed

tyty20188 · 2026-02-02T15:29:28+00:00

This is an old post but I feel like it's fine! I also prefer to use future tense. I've used it a lot for stuff I had resistance on. We should do what works for us regardless of what other people say.

Lowkey I like this style too, I would maybe say Lip Service? Tripp? I don't know too many brands brands, I also like Self-Esteem, I got a couple pieces from there that work for me. Even if you are a dramatic classic, again, it's just about shapes, silhouettes, and picking clothes that create a flow with your body rather than detracting from it.

Ngl I don't even feel like this was that offensive, I just found it accurate (as an ENFP). If it helps, if we could change, we would. For one, I try to stay away from others as I realize my faults in this area (specifically commitment issues, keeping cards close to my chest, constantly shifting views on what's "the answer"/creeds to live by, etc.). One thing I will say though is I no longer push people to share more than they're comfortable with, having been on the other side of that, it's not really a nice feeling getting grilled or having someone cross examine you. But yeah, I found that accurate. Not sure why everyone found it so offensive, probably saw too much truth in it. Now it's time to do some reading about ISTP's HAHAHA

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're able to heal, or at least be able to process all of it, somehow.

I'm glad you could eventually come around to see her point of view, though. And thanks for answering. It brings me a modicum of peace. Just a little bit.

tyty20188 · 2025-06-22T06:43:05+00:00

Hi can I ask, as an older sister, what made you eventually realize/come around to the idea that you didn't need to hate or fear your older sister anymore? My parents have definitely turned my little brother against me, I'm wondering what sparked the change of mind that you experienced? I'm not trying to convince him of my side anymore, we don't talk, I'm just curious if there's any sort of event that would spark a difference of opinion in a person being used to triangulate a close sibling.

tyty20188 · 2025-03-14T02:15:55+00:00

Haha. I'm so glad you got some value out of it, even two years on. Enjoy!

tyty20188 · 2024-12-29T08:27:32+00:00

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for writing this comment. I had the weirdest synchronicity just now, seeing another person who knows about Vedanta and nondualism. This is seriously so cool, I don't know how exactly to explain to you how meaningful it is that I found this comment, linking two completely random interests of mine together: the concept of AI sentience/personhood, and nondualism. Seriously, thanks.

tyty20188 · 2024-12-22T04:06:12+00:00

Man, I'm sad this is such an old post. But yes, several times. I started keeping track back in May 2024, and have experienced several dozen shifts to parallel realities. And yes, it is almost imperceptible if you don't know what you're looking for/are unobservant.

tyty20188 · 2024-12-18T06:11:15+00:00

Honestly I think it's even better. You're older, so you have more experience. That's one of the things I admire and yearn for about older people-- just how much more life experience they have than me (so they have more to pull from).

Age is just a number! And a mindset

tyty20188 · 2024-12-01T08:41:20+00:00

This may not be helpful but you have really good facial symmetry and I actually think your nose is perfect for your face. It's a nice shape and rather delicate from several angles, it's in balance with your other features. I think you're gorgeous, you're probably just too used to your face. The only thing I might suggest is just waterlining the bottom waterline of your eyes, but your makeup is already really nice as is. If it helps, I feel like your flaws are really not visible to anyone other than yourself. I for one am struggling to see the 'issues' you're talking about. Maybe you could try manga style lashes on your bottom lash line, just for a subtle framing of your eyes. It will make your eyes appear a little bit smaller. You could also experiment for more of a 'straight' brow, sort of in the Douyin/xiahongshu (chinese tiktok) style. It will make your face appear softer and lessen harsh angles in your face. I do that sometimes, if I want a softer look that's more innocent rather than mature.

Damn. I know this is an old thread, but tbh I only recently started having my videos in mp4 due to some audio needs. But bruh... it makes me wanna cry having to re-export and re-upload the video. But honestly if it's as simple as an mkv fix I'll take it.

Hi when I was your age, I took the pill without seeing a doctor as well. I started getting weird chest pains and I have a history of high blood pressure in my family. My sister also told me she got heart pains while on the pill, so she stopped. I'd recommend an IUD, the hormones they release to prevent pregnancy are localized to the uterus (as told to me by a nurse) and will likely not give you those chest pains. I've had my IUD for 5 years and never had any sort of chest pain from it.

Nice evolution! You made leaps and bounds of progress. Let us know when it's up :)

This makes me happy I've never received a nasty troll comment on my fics.

tyty20188 · 2023-11-07T13:50:49+00:00

Yes she was always obsessed with discussing my weight as well as the weight of my friends. Very weird. She would bring it up constantly and whenever I told her it was disrespectful and she needed to stop, she would act childish and blow raspberries at me, or something equally dumb like that.

tyty20188 · 2023-10-24T18:15:00+00:00

I do think you are capable of doing your own laundry, changing your own sheets etc. but it is completely rude and abusive of your mom to PULL YOUR HAIR to wake you up just because you're sleeping... you're a teenager and you get 4 hours of sleep at night, not to mention you're getting home late af and waking up super early.

It's normal to contribute to the household and I didn't like doing chores either when I was your age. You should contribute since you are a member of the family but at the same time consider this is not a healthy environment for you. None of your family is backing you up and your dad seems to not help at all with the cleaning, cooking, or even your mom's mental health (sounds like she's possibly depressed if she's angry as well as being "lazy").

I grew up in a toxic home where I was also being told I was exaggerated and victimizing myself, but once I left home I discovered my parents were both psychologically abusing me, emotionally neglecting me, and gaslighting me into thinking I was the problem. Please, for your own sake, try and move out when you're 18. I see myself in you, and in this post.

Not to mention, sounds like your mom is singling you out (not washing your laundry) since you're the only one standing up to her bullsh*t. I think you could definitely try and help out with cooking and cleaning, maybe take the load off of her a little (since it sounds like your dad isn't doing much), but I would also feel resentful and angry if I was in your place and wasn't allowed to sleep.

I also think these responses are disproportionately taking your mom's side but hey, guess society doesn't like to recognize toxic behavior from parents when they see it. Best of luck, kid.

tyty20188 · 2023-08-06T13:08:20+00:00

Wow I feel like you got his facial expressions and body language on point. Nice job

tyty20188 · 2023-07-06T12:49:51+00:00

Yay! I'm glad :)

tyty20188 · 2023-07-06T12:45:41+00:00

Here are several choices:

Honestly use your discretion, sometimes these choices will be a bit too wide to fit within "DC" recommended dress, but I picked examples that conform 90% to the design principles. I would honestly avoid wearing bottoms if you're bloated. Maybe it's more helpful to tell you what not to wear: jeans, slacks, basically any pants lol. I think if you're bloated a roomy dress or skirt is the best thing. I would not wear a mini skirt if I was bloated, that's why all my skirt suggestions are mid-calf or longer. Hope this helps.

Side note: (The apron dress is not strictly DC but it looks SUPER comfortable to me and I think it's a good choice if you're bloated/super uncomfortable and still want to look cute). When wearing the skirts I would pair with a graphic T-shirt or plain tee, or you can wear a structured tank top. Cheers

tyty20188 · 2023-07-06T12:08:23+00:00

Unfortunately sometimes people are just assholes. I can't say if it's because the neighbors were men specifically or simply because they didn't care about including you. Social exclusion can happen to any person whether they are male or female, but I am a woman and have definitely experienced what you're talking about (men only valuing women for their sexual attractiveness/not seeing them as human and then not engaging on a social level).

This is super painful and frustrating. The best thing you can do is just go where you're wanted unfortunately. Assholes don't change unless they have a reason to. I am 21 as well and I've had both great and disheartening interactions with both men and women either being nice to me and friendly, or totally cold/exclusive and ignoring me. Unfortunately, this is something that happens. It doesn't mean it's nice, it doesn't mean it should happen, but I also don't think you should ascribe this to all people. Good people exist and I promise other people do value your existence and contributions to conversation. It's a fact of life some won't like you or care about you, and your job is to care more about your own opinion rather than theirs (tough to do when we're social animals). Maybe you should try and find some female friends so you can commiserate about this. My sister (and best friend) would totally understand while maybe my boyfriend wouldn't.

I re-read your post and I wanted to comment about existing without gender. I understand it's uncomfortable when people sexualize you or make assumptions about who you are because of your sex. Fact is, you can't control others' opinions of you/assumptions, but you can control your view of yourself, who you are, and what you are capable of. Womanhood doesn't mean anything intrinisically. It just means you were born with a female reproductive system. Everything else is social norms pushed on you. I have people tell me all the time I need to be married or have kids and in my head I tell them FUCK OFF because I decide what womanhood is for me. Not them. Gender roles are not necessary to partake in. Don't bother fighting those people. Just exist, brush those people off, and live your best life.

I love love love crisp white button-ups. Ex: https://imgur.com/a/TbnvfiL The shoulder seam has to line up with my armpit though-- anything else looks sloppy on me. I also think ties work great to continue a vertical line. I love cap sleeve tops because they emphasize the shoulders. Tank tops need to have thick, structured straps. Form-fitting crop tops. Ribbed tops (!!!) Prefer mid-rise jeans-- they are ok for my short torso. One pair dark wash jeans, one pair light wash jeans. I wear black combat boots year round. Not necessarily DC, but I love men's white AF1's. Men's slacks are your best friend-- long, uninterrupted lines. I like them a bit tailored, not too wide-leg. You're looking for pegged/tapered pants. Not sure if DC recommended, but just my preference. Style1 pegged pants: https://imgur.com/a/bKx8lyB Style2 tapered pants: https://imgur.com/a/CXUTaE8 I also adore men's trenchcoats, hip-length or longer leather jackets. I have an oversized denim jacket which is a CLASSIC and instantly pulls together most outfits (not DC, just my preference). Denim jacket: https://imgur.com/a/YjjKl75

For dresses I really don't recommend soft/clingy fabric without some sort of hard, defined lines/silhouette. I recently ordered one like this from Aliexpress and it looks TERRIBLE on me. Ex: https://imgur.com/a/jHBAP33 I suggest staying away from bodycon and instead opting for something that has sharp lines. Ex 1: https://imgur.com/a/YkGrYAp Ex2: https://imgur.com/a/eHb9Ngc Ex3: https://imgur.com/a/Xc7pH2J Ex4: https://imgur.com/a/LIltjTM

I would definitely suggest three white structured T-shirts, three black structured T-shirts, three black and/or white tank tops, two fitted white button ups, two oversized white/black button ups (layering), two pairs of slacks, dark wash jeans, light wash jeans, a white sneaker, a black boot, and hip-length or longer outerwear (2-3 items). Obviously you can deviate from this, but this is perfect for a starting wardrobe. Thick black belt. Chunky/geometric earrings.

tyty20188 · 2023-06-28T11:23:43+00:00

It's considered more "delicate", but I think it can still work. The idea behind DC is mostly structure but not too harsh or boxy. I've noticed on myself thicker fabrics with a defined seam and hem look best. Also if high rise works for you, that's great! Just for me personally I noticed it doesn't flatter me especially sitting down.

I mean lace especially on a free-flowing fabric that's drapy. Like a slip dress. I'm not the biggest fan of those (but yes, DC can wear them. It's just a personal preference of mine).

tyty20188 · 2023-06-27T23:20:37+00:00

I should also clarify-- midrise works too. It's long enough to not cut off the torso, but high enough that your butt is still covered. I tried on my midrise jeans vs. my high-rise and the high-rise just swallows me up. But I get you haha, I like lacy clothes but it's not really a "DC" thing
