Last thread I vented about being unable to do my hair up with a hairstick/hairpin because I've been eyeing some really pretty ones. I decided to try searching up ideas for how to accomplish it in Japanese since Japanese women have smooth straight hair texture more similar to mine while most of the white girls making online tutorials seem to have thicker hair with more curl and body. I did find people with similar complaints and apparently those videos with girls making cute hair styles are fucking bullshit???
>"the pins are decorative you're not supposed to make the style with them"
>"I had my hair done by professionals they used U-pins to make the style, the hair stick was just an ornament"
>"realistically the styles done in those old dramas would be held together with thread/ribbon the stick is just for fashion"
So it seems if you have the right hair texture you won't need additional tools but in countries where these styles and pins actually originate you're not actually expected to accomplish the style with the pin alone, I'm guessing now that a lot the videos I saw were either aspirational content not really meant to be instructive. I feel like such a fool.

I hate being so fucking tired I hate being chronically ill this fucking sucks so much I need to shower and I still can barely get out of bed. I’ve been forcing myself to go for walks and Im just making myself worse not better. I’m always tired it feels like I have the fucking flu when I don’t. I’m not fat. I don’t eat like shit, I drink lots of water. My stimulant just makes me more tired but also gives me insomnia cause it makes my heartrate go up super high. I hate these episodes. Let me out of this husk. I just want to have the energy to shower regularly and go for walks. The only silver lining is I can at least still brush my stupid teeth. Taking care of myself is so exhausting, I’m like the worst exotic pet and I never even wanted to own something like my own human body. Such a hassle.

>>2470866That was something I read too, that when these types of hairstyles were more commonly worn women would usually apply pomade into the hair but people don't really do that anymore. Personally I will probably still buy the hairpins but I will use them decoratively and will style and pin the hair with something else instead of using the hairpin as the only method of securing the hair. I practiced some two hours last night to little success and this morning I was horrified to discover how much hair I'd pulled out with the stick. I think my scalp is either really delicate or my hair roots are shallow, I need to twist the pin very, very tightly for the hairstyle to not fall apart but that tension pulls out hair. I might try again with hair pomade in case it lets me accomplish the same styles with less tension.

I have a massive crush on an ugly scrote just because he's short, has buckteeth, round frameless glasses and this type of haircut. Bitch has the profile of a hasburg but everything else about him is so fucking cute it makes up for his fucked up genetics. Its driving me nuts, i am so wildly attracted to him but he's so objectively ugly. I have been talking about him to a friend and she's going to bully me to death if she ever sees how he actually looks. I have never felt attraction towards a scrote before so i am ashamed that my first crush is towards this faces of incest reject.

I feel like a huge fuckup, left my meds at home and had a bad flare-up on a day neither me nor my bf wanted to be out. I thought we'd have a nice day at the beach but the place we went to wasn't great, my feet were killing me, I felt horrible when I got back, and bf felt bad feeling like he caused it. Stupid drama at work the whole week so I said I wanted to leave, which also made him feel like he couldn't comfort me. I thought we had an ok conversation later even though I cried about a lot of bullshit. People being shitty to me at work isn't his fault. Had an absolutely horrible finance advisor meeting, the moid running it blew up at me for not wanting their managed fund account, then just said I was a shit investor and ended the meeting. That's not even me being dramatic, it was easily the worst and most bizarre meeting I've had just for accounting shit. Now I can't find a doctor even through my insurance for general practice, and I don't want to try going through an ER or some shit for cancer screenings. Bf is planning a birthday trip I think without me now but it's the first I've heard of it but I doubt I'm invited. I'm not fun to be around and this week has been complete trash. It's his birthday anyway but he hasn't responded about me booking dinner for him, but I'm glad I didn't if he's just going to fuck off. I wish I had more support. I'm trying, he's trying, and I'm just having a bad time.

Trying my best to shake off a childhood friend's crush on me. He is retardedly horny and I have zero sex drive. I've told him so many times I don't want to talk about shit related to cocks and pussy but he insists on sexualizing literally everything.
It's a new thing! He was never like this! But once I started showing interest in him, he started going haywire even when told to stop. "You just don't like it because you're on that extremist feminism forum all the time, aren't you?" Like bitchass, I am on there MAYBE once a day to check the artist salt thread at best hoooooly shit. He keeps using the fact that I come on here as justification for my opinions or takes to be discarded.
Shit, it isn't any surprise I come on here, and I made the mistake of screencapping some really good advice, pretending it was from 4chan, but the low reply numbers gave me away. "Is that lolcow". Like FUCK
I want to get rid of his smelly ass asap but he knows too much of my IRL identity. I am going to aim to make him lose interest by ignoring him online (we now live across the country from one another) and pray to god his dick falls off or something. What was I thinking being interested in this fuckhead? God I hate myself.
Between this and my family trying to drag me into drama, I sincerely consider necking myself all the time.
>>2471408The internet's always had some sort of weird lean towards cats, even going as far as giving them dog personalities inaccurately to increase their desirability (in fiction).

Probably best to ignore it or grow a thicker skin by this point; it's inescapable, this cat bias kek

I like sheer clothing as a concept but what pisses me off is brands will sell some cute pieces but absolutely nothing to layer it with. I don’t want to walk around in essentially my underwear but the actual dress could be really cool with other things to layer it with but I can’t fucking find anything. Everything’s so cheap that the thinner clothes are all see-through too. Give me a few sheer pieces and a few opaque ones to layer underneath for fuck’s sake.

Had a meeting with my school’s counsellor today (therapy counsellor not advisor) and was telling her about this moid I’ve felt has targeted me and she immediately clocked him as Narcissistic. Normally I feel like that’s a bad sign from a therapist but he had a major death in the family a few months ago and I wonder if he talked to her and she knows who I’m talking about kek. It was nice hearing that I wasn’t crazy or reading into how he was operating too much.

Even when I know my mind is playing tricks on me, I can’t help but feel like everyone around me hates me. I can’t even be myself with my closest ones because I fear they wouldn’t like me at all if they see how I truly am. Every time I tried to relax and basically go with the flow, someone pointed out how…difficult I was being. Distant. Secretive. As if I didn’t trust people enough to tell them about my worries. But when I do, they just can’t understand it because they say it’s too much. Then what am I supposed to do?
I hate my life. I hate the way I am. I hate the things I do, say or think. It’s a constant battle inside of me, and of course I can’t tell anyone about it because they can’t process that I’d rather be dead at this point, I’m just too coward to end it. I always search for some easy distractions (harmless ones of course), but it only goes to a point when I’m like “okay, what’s next”.
I feel like I’m playing a character all the time. One of my friends told me her and the other ones thought about me being a little bit like a bimbo, just because I’m joking all the time, I seem…quirky to them. Not suicidal. Not depressive. Quirky. That day I felt like something broke inside of me, even when I logically think they couldn’t know it and that’s basically the image I’m portraying and that makes me miserable. Still, it’s not their fault and it’s not their responsibility to take care of me like that, I’m the one who’s supposed to be doing it but I’m just so, so tired…

I'm not a good student. I used to be before I graduated high school, but then I had a manic episode my first semester at University and had to drop out for a few years. I've tried since but I've never gotten the hang of uni/college. I'm doing certificates for a STEM field at a community college and I find myself being so lazy and procrastinating. But I'm just terrified of trying and failing. I'm scared of reaching out for help which doesn't help with networking for future career prospects. It's all online and I do better with in-person classes. I feel like I just hold myself back and self sabotage because I'm so scared to realize I'm not good enough even though I already am well aware I'm not.

I hate how needy my grandmother is. I feel bad because I know she's gonna die within the next decade or so and I should put in more effort but calling even once a week is really too much for me. And driving 3 hours round trip when I work, am in grad school, and have many obligations is also too much. I keep explaining that I interact with her more often than my own friends but she just doesn't care and calls me cold and heartless. I hate how she expects me to read her mind. She says one thing secretly hoping I'll say exactly the perfect thing in response. She used to disown me like once a year and my reaction was always "I'll respect your wishes," but apparently the correct answer was to grovel. How was I supposed to know? It just sucks because she is clearly mentally ill and so she fully believes all the batshit nonsense she convinces herself is true. I genuinely think she's a bippie who never grew out of it. She is so selfish and cruel but so convinced of her perpetual victimhood. Her logic is that if she lashed out horribly, it's actually your fault for pushing her there through your evil crime of not anticipating her feelings that are endlessly changeable and tumultuous. She still holds shit against my mom that my mom did when she was an actual toddler. I feel so much obligation to my grandmother because she took such good care of me when I was young. I sometimes wonder if that's just rose tinted glasses, but somehow I don't think I could take the realization that her love and affection were conditional from day 1. Of course she loved me as a baby, it is easy to love a baby. But as an adult, all I ever am is inadequate. And she never stops reminding me that I owe her, that I'm not living up to her kindness, that I am a taker who accepts and gives back nothing. Everything has strings attached. If you eat food she makes, you best believe she is tallying every bite and mentally scoring all the ways you've wronged her. I don't want her to die without things ever being fixed, but how can I fix it when she is so…the way she is.

This wouldn't piss me off as badly if she didn't spout the bullshit she watches 24/7 easily off the top of her head.
