SuperMega says otherwise, can't remember which video it was though. Plus there's a reason literally every "nice" youtuber gets outed as a dick and/or creep.

agreed, eventually he looked like an over inflated stapled Cher doll

I wanted to keep being friends with my ex gf but it isnt working,has anyone succesfully remained friends with their ex?

>>161545
I'm friends with some exes now, and even friends with the people they dated after me. I think the key component is giving each other some time and distance. Once she/you move on, it's easier to reconcile differences and rekindle the shared interests and experiences that drew you together in the first place. If it's still a decently fresh breakup, though, try giving it a few months or even a year or so.

The reason why low quality men cling to this falcity is because they can't handle the cold hard reality that they are already at their peak and it's all downhill from there. They're not going to become the successful pussy magnets at 38 that they desperately delude themselves into thinking they will in their late-20's. To accept such a reality would be unbearable.

Every time I look up leading men in older period dramas, it's always a disappointment. Today's specimen: Matthew Macfayden from 2005's Pride and Prejudice. He was so cute in it, but male hairline aging is a bitch.

>>161541
I saw him in Succession before I realized he was in Pride and Prejudice and I was just ASTOUNDED that he was ever a romantic lead, let alone such an iconic one.

>>161541
actually compared to the other guys in this thread he didnt age that poorly

I don't have many friends, and the ones I do have I don't really like. I constantly feel like they can't keep up with me. I know I'm super self centered and want to change that but I can never just relax and have fun. Everything has to be under control (not necessarily mine) and planned out or I have a hard time coping. For example, I currently hate my roommate who has been my friend for years. Ever since living together I just can't stand being around her, she doesn't clean up how I'm used to and leaves the room whenever I try to show her something funny or fun (that I KNOW she enjoys because we both have the same interests in TV shows and music). It's so annoying and I can't stand her anymore.


On a related note, does anyone feel like they're better friends when there is a distance between them?

I have an core friend group, we're 4 and they're the lights of my life, genuinely. We've been together since high school and I'm so glad we understand each other so well.
> how you make friends?
I'm only interested in having female friends, male friends have disappointed me everytime so I don't even bother now. Aside from my group, I started other friendships just by sharing an space (a class, a meeting with more people, a sport, anything) and initiating conversation, maybe by complimenting them or asking a question, then we exchange numbers and usually start doing activities related to the activity we share (such as studying for an exam)
> how you get rid of friends?
I only did it once. Also in high school, she wasn't a good friend and we both grew up apart so we talked about it, I told her that we should take some time and that it didn't felt the same as the start (sounds like a relationship break up haha) and ended up in very good terms because she felt the same. We've talked a little bit during the quarantine, I like to check up on her because she's quite unstable
> what kind of friends you keep around?
People who can be there when I need help are my true friends, I take my time to be comfortable with someone and that's very important in a friendship, I think

Have any anons had friendships where a friend wants to be a lot closer than you would like? I have a friend who I was roommates with for many years. Because I lived with her, I supported her through a lot of mental health crises and kept her company because she often felt lonely as she doesn't have a good relationship with her family. But to be honest we really don't have any interests in common. Now that I've moved elsewhere, she messages me multiple times a week to talk about random shit and she asked me if I wanted to start videocalling with her weekly. I made up an excuse and said I was too busy to chat weekly. I'm sure I could make the time if I wanted to, but we really have no interests in common. All she ever wants to talk about with me are the normie Netflix shows she's been watching, drama within her friend group, or things related to men. She also barely knows anything about my own interests because whenever I try to mention them I can see her eyes glaze over. It's almost as if it isn't her fault but that she just can't talk about anything that isn't directly related to her. It's tiring because I have to mold my personality in order to fit with hers to stimulate conversation, which is fine, but because of that I wouldn't consider her a close friend although she seems to want to be. I feel guilty because I know that she's lonely, but also whenever she messages me I can't help but sigh and feel like it's an obligation to respond because I'm really not interested in most of the stuff she has to say.

>>161439
Yeah, I get along best with friends whenever I have a healthy distance between them. I don't know if it's because I have a horrible personality or something. I also find it hard to meet people I genuinely get along with. I think that some people are more independent than others and that they function best with a bit of space to be on their own. I know there are some girls who can see each other everyday and never get sick of each other, but even seeing my best friend once a week becomes a strain on both of us. Perhaps it is self-centered, but socializing and having fun shouldn't have to be a chore! Ideally we could meet people who we feel we can completely be ourselves around, but they are too few and far in between- at least in my experience.

If anyone here is dealing with stress induced hair loss I can honestly recommend this supplement. My hair has thinned out drastically over the past year and I've tried lots of different biotin supplements but this is the only one that gives me visible results so far (it doesn't contain biotin; the main ingredient is MSM). I've been taking it for 2 months and I already see a nice layer of new baby hair coming in, plus my nails have stopped splitting. Sadly, it doesn't seem to do anything for my skin though.
I don't think it'll help much with hair loss caused by serious health issues like alopecia, but if your problem is vitamin deficiency or stress, then it's the way to go.

I've also noticed that massaging your scalp every day does a lot to help stimulate your follicles and decrease shedding. I've been using an amazing herbal rub-in scalp treatment with amber extract, which apparently isn't available for purchase anywhere outside my country, unfortunately, although I'm pretty sure you can use any kind of scalp tonic, as long as you learn a good massage technique and remember to do it every single day for at least a month.

>>158669
Samefag, I looked some more and actually the scalp treatment is available on amazon. I highly recommend it if you'd like to try a mostly natural solution. It's a very popular and well-liked product in my country.

Any anons tried topical minoxidil? Have been suffering from hair loss from stress for a while and a specialist told me to use it but I’m a bit sceptical.

>>158941
I tried woman's Rogaine for 1 year and it did absolutely nothing for me, but I guess it only works in certain people for some reason. Maybe try for 6+ months and see? But just know if it does grow hair you'll need to use it forever or the hair will eventually fall out, which personally I'd gladly do if it actually worked for me.

>>158941

i've been using it anon! and whilst i recommend it, i'd say it's best to take it with a diuretic like spironolactone especially if it's a hormonal problem that's causing the hair loss. since your hair grows in cycles you naturally get periods where you shed more and i find it useless to just use topical minoxidil as i would just get extra hair growth that would naturally fall out quick even when the 'shedding' periods were over bc i was still overproducing androgen.

although you do get extra hair growth in other places on body, it's very thin and soft therefore easy to get rid of plus it's way easier to deal with taking that shit off than the millions of ways i've tried to get my hair to grow over the years.

Any advice for serial polish pickers? I can't even keep professional dip or gel manicures on long enough to get them removed professionally–the longest I've had them last is 2 weeks, and now my nails are brittle, thin, and short again gdi

>>155973
a decent basecoat can def help with longevity. for toy coat i actually like to use a no wipe gel topcoat. i know it’s a nail tech’s nightmare but giving your nails at least a few hours to dry completely and then use the top coat (and wrap the tip!) can make your polish last a lot longer.

Hi anons! I would like to try some fake nails like picrelated. Can anyone suggest a good starter kit that will help me 'glue' them?

>>159926
Just get some nail glue, damn anon.

Will storing my nail polish upside down cause issues? I bought these plaatic cosmetic displays with little individual spots for lipsticks, the bottom of my bottles wont fit but the top does.

Here's mine:

>Go on a few dates with a guy
>Super nice, funny and popular but I don't feel any chemistry
>Reject him after our first kiss
>Randomly hits me up out of the blue every so often
>Randomly come across him at bars and he would follow me around even when I had a bf
>4 years later he's randomly in my DM's talking about how he still has feelings for me
>I don't even see it
>24 hours later, he posts pictures of him getting engaged to this gf

I feel so bad for his wife, you just know I'm not the only person he's done this with.

>>159917
Geez, thank god you didn’t like him that much. Aren’t men like this embarrassed? It’s sad how women tend to be embarrassed of being played, which is rarely their fault and usually involves them being lied to and manipulated, but men who perpetrate behavior like making a game of how many women are interested in them or whatever live so shamelessly. I’d like to flip the switch somehow.
