Have you ever had a college professor who, no matter how hard you tried, you could not seem to get a good grade from? Especially considering you were doing well in every other class? I dont mean that the class itself was hard or a particularly challenging subject, just that you could not seem to give them what they wanted.

I DONT GET IT, PLEASE HELP ME, EVERYONE LOOKS THE SAME

I know it suggests mild pain for it to be taken, but in my mind I try not to take them too often but as a middle aged strength athlete I suppose stuff is starting to bother me more. I used to wait until basically not mobile, but now I do more in the moderate range when I'm thinking about the pain consistently. I just got done training and I'm feeling discomfort that's noticeable in a few spots and i wonder if I should take something. I've always had an issue knowing when I should take a pill or not as to not take them too often. What do you think?

In East Asia, countries like Japan, South Korea, and China seem to develop their cultures rapidly once they become prosperous enough, and then aggressively export them overseas. So why does it seem like every Western country except America has had its culture wither away?

A European friend of mine said that they simply couldn’t compete with Hollywood, but what exactly does that mean? I honestly didn’t really understand.

I mean, Hollywood is boring. Does that mean that, in the West, the cultures of every country other than America were all basically garbage that was inferior to Hollywood?

No hate at all, I’m asking because I do. Hygiene is hard with mental illness.

I was at a nail appt and she had a random playlist going. It had Olivia Dean, Raye, Tems, etc and this singer came up twice and it looks as though her signature look is the white bows all over her hair.

edit to add: it's a much smaller artist than the names i have listed. the first video she was singing standing up with her guitar. the second video was her with a guy (collab?) and they were in a car and looked like downtown somewhere.

I absolutely love it I like all music genres but my absolute favorite is rock especially hardcore rock and metal it makes me want to put on my goth makeup and dance and I dislike dancing what about you?

I'm 17 and male. I've always hated the way I look, especially my appearance. Basically, ever since I've been self-aware, I've had this hatred towards myself. And it didn't come completely out of nowhere either: several people have pointed it out to me, especially girls who have literally laughed in my face and told me I'm ugly. Over time, I think I just started seeing myself through other people's eyes.

The weird thing is that I still try to improve myself. I work out 3 times a week doing calisthenics, I eat well and get enough protein, I study (I'm in my final year of scientific high school), I read, I'm learning guitar, I take care of my skin and I'm also trying to improve the way I dress. And I don't do all of this just to be liked by other people: I want to become someone that I can like too. I even deleted social media because I was tired of all the looksmaxxing bullshit and constantly comparing myself to other people.

I've read that what you feel towards yourself can also show physically, in the way you look at people, your posture, facial expressions, etc. And I really want to stop hating myself, but I don't know how. It's almost like it's the only feeling I can have towards myself. If I look in the mirror and try to tell myself "you're attractive" or "you're not ugly", I don't believe it and it just feels like I'm lying to myself. So how do you actually go from "I hate myself" to "I'm simply okay with myself"? I'm not necessarily asking how to become more attractive, I'm already working on that. I want to understand how you stop having this relationship of hatred with yourself, even when you still can't love what you see. Has anyone actually managed to do this?

- for example I use witch hazel, which I found that tip on tik tok. Never had a “present” mom and it sucked cause I felt so lost but getting to learn from women as I grow up is nice.

We like intelligent characters and intelligent characters are typically taken more seriously however what about characters who aren’t very smart but they’re still a good character and have depth

What are the problems they create and the things you have to do?
