I'm now just getting back into it and would really like to post stuff not just to insta. I like to have a little gallery to look at for myself mostly but having an active user base is also a plus for me. I do want to net-work a little with other people around my level.
The least amount of automated censorship the better. I do costume-y things that can include some fake blood and I've gotten false flagged by algorithms because of it?? (current year problems.)

>>473483I primarily listen to metal but I never call myself a metalhead because most of them are elitist assholes who will tell you the bands you listen to are 'not really metal' or 'not metal enough' because metal is basically an umbrella term almost and there are so many different types and people have soooo many opinions about the different genres and what should/shouldn't be considered "true metal" that they want to project onto you. I always hear people say goths are elitists but honestly metalheads are so much worse.
And just wanna remind everyone that metal and goth are 2 different genres, they get conflated a lot for some reason.

>>473483for metal standards being a sellout means being able to play something that isn't the pentatonic scale, for punk is knowing more than 3 chords and actually caring about music more than the costume and the posturing.
Metal is not just a subculture, is an age bracket. most people grow out of it and thats cool, most of the most amazing musicians i've ever met started out as metal fans who eventually got bored of playing the same compositions over and over. In retrospect my edgelord years were silly but also very fun, i'd just wish i hadn't cut myself from other experiences because of that tribal mentality.

>>474272How long does it take for you to put on makeup anon? I do find this a little weird, but then again, I usually put on a very light amount of make up (application time runs between 5min minimum to about 20-30min max depending if I'm just doing some eyeliner+brows or if I'm doing the whole shebang) so if something comes up spontaneously I can just smack on some makeup and leave. Even if I do have something planned, I tend to leave it as one of the very last things I do before heading out (usually try to leave about 30 min but if I end up misjudging time and rushing I'll just do basic eyeliner and brows to save myself the time).
It always feels like a waste to me if I put on make up and end up not leaving. I also like to relish in the freedom of rubbing my face/eyes without worrying about smearing anything so any chance I don't have to have makeup on, I won't lol.

I feel twinges of that sometimes with new men (especially frat boy and male art hoe types but I have a fear of conventionally attractive people in general), but atm my only friends are straight men who aren't attracted to me and no one gives a fuck. When I was obese and gnc I used to work with mostly men and they also didn't give a fuck.
Chances are if a man is the type to post about or shit talk a woman for being ugly, if he was a woman he'd still be a shallow bitch and act similarly.
So…fear both, or neither, equally.

>>474283Glad I'm at least not the only one. It's the same for me, I have such a hard time working together with guys. I subconsciously think "if he hates me, at least he won't think I'm hitting on him". I really don't get how other women can just joke around or even flirt a little with their male friends.
If there's a couple at the shop I work at, I exclusively talk only to her, so that they won't get the wrong idea.
I don't know if that's the reason why I'm like this, but when I was in 6th grade one of my former friends lied to a guy and said I liked him, to which he reacted completely grossed out and I franctically tried to deny it. Back then I didn't even feel bad about it for long, but this is exactly what I fear will happen if I were to be friendly with a guy. Later on I also got in similar incidents, there boys insulted me, saying they would never like me, although I didn't even show any interest in them. I have a resting bitch face and talk very little, so no way that anything I ever did could be interpreted as flirting. No idea why this kept happening to me (or maybe that's normal and only I can't deal with that?)

sometimes resources are buried but maybe start with searching your states public health resources and then county health resources. try calling public health care lines for your county and ask what may be available. maybe if its available, call a state medical university to see if there is something they could do even for a reduced price. i live in a state that has a few big medical universities that offer discounted rates for training.

Have any anons here been writing diaries for a while?
I admire people who write them dilligently, but it's too awkward for me to ask them anything about diary writing in person.

I'm curious!
No. 474608
>>474591>What kind of notebook do you write in?I still write in the one my mother gave to me on my 14th birthday. It’s custom made and leather bound. There’s golden music notes pressed into the leather and it’s so pretty! I play piano so it suits me. I think everyone should get a unique diary like that for themselves, like something that reflects a personal trait or hobby of theirs. I wrote in fountain pen in my youth, and now I write in those thin Japanese pens people obsess over. I kind of want to get a quill or something nice. I always write in cursive and it’s nice to see an improvement in handwriting over the years.
>How often do you write? I write whenever I feel sad or extremely happy. I don’t feel the need to write a day-to-day chronicle on my mundane life. I also write when a big event happens in my life like going to college, establishing relationships, or going on vacations and experiencing new things. I still have to write about my trip to Europe over the summer but haven’t gotten around to doing it. A girl in the same tour group brought her diary and wrote on the bus and I got so jelly lmao. Why didn’t I bring mine!
>How do you write about you day coherently?Honestly I just verbally vomit on the page. I make my writing like my thoughts, like free form or stream of consciousness writing. It’s nice to go back and see what my thoughts were like exactly.
> Do you worry about someone reading it?I’m pretty sure my family read it growing up. I was always so paranoid so I repressed some of my thoughts and feelings in my diary. Now that I’ve moved away from home and living by myself I don’t feel as paranoid anymore and unleash my full feelings out

>>474621that's not even fucking true. i know a number of male neets that had numerous women clawing after them that wanted to help them. the thing is that most male neets are bottom of the barrel degenerate losers, and no one wants to get with a guy that fucks himself with a dragon dildo, and a lot of neet guys become this level of degen from having way too much time on their hands, or from just being the type of chris-chan tier creep that is more likely to become a neet.
>>474597as a few anons have already said, a lot of women WITH successful careers already settle for men that become little but horny ankleweights already, so a lot of neet girls are settling for trash bfs, but just because someone is neet doesn't mean they don't have something to offer someone, especially as a woman. honestly a lot of guys don't care about whether or not a woman has a career tbh. a lot of guys don't mind women being dependent on them, especially if they also have mental problems or whatever that they can either abuse, or relate to, not that many men actually treat these women so well. you have to remember that a lot of these neet girls have low self esteem from society beating them down for being neet, on top of whatever problems they had that led them to becoming neets, so honestly they're probably grateful for anything. women with their shit together praise men for doing the smallest shit that should already be expected of men, so i'm sure that's happening tenfold with neet girls. they're probably worshipping them for just treating them a little human, especially because people irl make you feel inhuman for being neet, or for being fat, or ugly, etc, etc.
and a lot of self reported "ugly" or "fat" women aren't. women blow out insecurities out of proportion while literally disfigured men criticize women's appearances and display the same level of male entitlement as attractive men.

I'm just saying, if an anon asked advice on here about their neet crush or bf they would be told to love themselves and dump him, but guys don't tend to have big issues with being the one financially supporting their relationships and paying for everything, some would even prefer specifically to marry a stay at home mom who don´t work or be a suggar daddy for a thoth who admits straight up that she is a goldigger from the get go.
Women get less shitted on for being neets and an average looking woman has more romantic potential than an average looking dude and will have more options when putting herself out there , almost all of my neets friends are girls who spent a lot of time jumping between relationships were they never spent any money, and being pampared by their parents , to a point they became too used to a lifestyle of being lazy and only function when it came to leisure paid by whoever else. If your boyfriend comes over with cake, weed and gifts every other day of the week and your parents cover all your expenses while you play videogames and shitpost, no shit you become entitled and lazy.
Disclaimer, having a boyfriend doesn´t imply is a good bf, even paying for everything they can still be shitty boyfriends and paying for stuff is also a manipulative tactic to gain dependency, i am just saying a female neet has some advantages on that aspect over male ones and is more likely to find a couple should she look for one.

>Women get less shitted on for being neetsuhhh, not true at all. irl you get shit on for being a neet as a woman all of the time, the only time you're maybe given any leniency is when people want to fuck you? if women found a guy super attractive emotionally, physically, what have you, A LOT of them would be perfectly fine with looking over the neet shit though too, so it's not exclusive to women. people will overlook certain things if there are positives. i've seen it time and time again. people MAYBE will be nicer about women being neet if they're married, but even then, i see "stay at home wives" are shit on a lot irl. real life is not all about how men online treat women or how young men treat women. people who aren't considered to be "contributing" to society are not treated well, male or female.
>If your boyfriend comes over with cake, weed and gifts every other day of the weekliterally like no guys even do this shit today, let alone for neet girls. your idea of neet women is weird. i've never had this happen. idk any women who have bfs who bring over cake and gifts and weed every other day.

>>474611>>474632>>474727>>474729I specifically mentioned that I saw many posts of neet farmers whose boyfriends were not neets or super trashy and that's what baffles me. Like guys who work and support a woman who doesn't contribute to absolutely anything. How did they even meet if she neither goes to school, nor work, nor has hobbies (besides gaming), nor is willing to go outside?
In the traditional sense a stay-at-home wife would at least cook, clean, buy groceries + other necessities and look presentable, but in those cases they're only sitting at home and are useless, why would anybody endure that? If you want sex, a prostitute would be a lot cheaper.
Same for parents who allow their "kids" (some of them are 30+) to not do anything. Everybody could at least work retail (and if your anxiety is so bad work a nightjob there you won't need to face anybody).

And simply assuming that those working boyfriends are always worse than their neet girlfriends just because of their gender is whack. Being a neet is leeching off of others, that could be classified as a form of abuse as well, with the other party being to weak to leave. They're being essentially guilt-tripped into not breaking up, since they know that a neet wouldn't survive on their own and would likely end up homeless - and not many people could stand the thought of being responsible for that.

Having been in the reverse situation with my garbage ex who decided getting a mild depression diagnosis was a good excuse to quit his job and become a worthless basement troll - which forced me to support him working full-time, while in school full-time, AND having to cook and clean because any time you asked him he'd start crying he was too depressed (also he claimed to have PTSD from a nightmare…) - I don't know how anyone manages that long-term.

I've been frustrated at the fact that I can't seem to find a guy while people I know seem to have no problem finding providers left and right. But the truth is, I do have something even better. My parents are pretty well off and generous, so I can have them as my sugar daddy without having to resort to sex or anything gross.

They would move me in and intensely plan a future with me, they'd pay the rent and pay for dates and convince me they were like a saviour. 2 or 3 years in they'd suddenly dump me as soon as my mental health started to improve in any noticeable way. In reality they wanted an isolated young girl with no life outside of dating them.
It taught me that a healthy power balance is important in a relationship, you need to feel like you could walk away and support yourself, otherwise you're trapped.

Also look at the MLM boss babes who have a husband providing most of the income while they lose money on their "job".
Sure, plenty of these relationships fail. But relationships do in general.

Do you really believe that "living" like this can be called having a personality? first of all, that sounds like depression. a lot of the neets you mention are clearly pretty depressed. are you under the impression that them cleaning the house will give them a personality? incredibly active people don't just have personalities because they go hiking or take up archery or pottery making. none of that is a personality. again, a relationship is about emotional labor, caring for each other emotionally, supporting each other emotionally, sex, i guess, having loving and affectionate company, etc. people don't typically date because of someone's job and whether or not they clean often or rock climb. for some guys and girls, having a gf or bf who games or does whatever that they can relate to, that is a source of emotional support and affection and care, etc, is plenty

>>475028Not who you've been replying to but I gotta agree with them.
Even though mental illness is no one's fault, it's still our own responsibility. Either by seeking a means to get some help, or doing little things for ourselves to at least improve the quality of living.
If you have the means to do something but you choose not to, that's a particular kind of laziness grown from the spoilage of knowing someone else will take care of you and pick up your messes.
I've known many mentally ill people who didn't have such luxuries. It was either they got a job, took care of themselves, and cleaned their living spaces; or face homelessness. Everyone can suddenly find 'inspiration' to do things if they're pushed hard enough. If the stakes are too great to risk losing.
The biggest problem with NEETs are the enablers of that lifestyle. Making excuses for them, sometimes for the enabler's own selfish reasons. Everyone needs a bit of empathy and compassion, but not to a fault. It's a disservice to humans to encourage them that they legitimately cannot do a thing besides sit in bed and browse the internet all day, and at best it does nothing to help break the destructive cycle of thinking that they cannot.

abusive, that they're "wastes of space", etc, but you admit you want to be neet and live off of a boyfriend.
>I don't have standards when it comes to attractiveness, I wouldn't ask for anything from a guy, I'd even be willing to a lot for him, yet it seems I'm doomed to die alone.this is what your comments are motivated by, not depression. idk what your deal is, why you can't find a dude, but i'm sure it has something to do with your personality.
>Why would anybody love somebody who's basically a vegetable void of any activity or personality

>>475049that isn't why anon is saying this shit. we've not spoken about bettering themselves. they should absolutely better themselves, but depression and recovery is not linear. people struggling with mental health often make strides and take steps back, etc, yet anon wants to define people by periods in their lives that we know nothing about. anon wants to be a lazy neet anyways so her criticism is dumb. you all are acting like so many neets are just neets for 30 years. often they're neet for a bit, try college, drop out, go back, get a job, quit or get fired, end up neet, go back, etc. depression is more than just habit. for people who struggle with suicidal thoughts or impulsive behavior, it's tough. i don't know what the circumstances these people are going through, but anon has spent the better part of all her posts saying all of these neets do absolutely nothing to better themselves, that they're unlovable wastes of spaces, etc, when we don't know that's the case at all. she doesn't know them or their lives. 1 or 2 self deprecating posts doesn't tell their life story.

Why is it so surprising to you that people despise you, when you don't even respect yourselves?

So many things have happened it's hard to say what caused what problem with me, but I think I'm a lot better off as a person nowadays and have grown past more recent traumas. My rapist was my first baby sitter's son, but I can't remember how long I was with them or how long I dealt with the rape and molestation, but I imagine now that it probably wasn't too long if it didn't really affect me.

>>474591Anon, I hope you'll start! Journaling/writing in a diary went from something I did to help my depression, to just being a really fun hobby to log my life into.
I started maybe about 4 years ago, because I saw one of my favorite artists constantly post her journal entries from her hobonichi. I picked up a random small spiral notebook and I would just jot down things that happened that day. I was living in Japan at the time, and to this day I regret not starting sooner because I think it really would've helped my depression at the time, and also I just want to recall things with better accuracy! It bounces between being a place to vent (I like to think that when I'm writing depressing thoughts down, that the feeling is leaving my body through me physically writing it, so it's kept in the pages and out of my body lol it's lame but it helps me!), to just a place where I record things that happened (mundane or not) because I think it's fun to read these in the long, long future! I decorate all of my pages with washi tapes and stickers (I have a pretty good collection of tapes and friends will frequently buy me stickers as gifts), I think it really makes the pages pop!
>Whan kind of notebook do you write in? Aside from my first and third journal (I'm on my 4th one atm!), I try my best to buy from indie artists. I used to attend a lot of conventions and would buy there, but etsy has so many too. There's no real reason for it other than that sort of… special exclusivity that I like. Like, a notebook that's a bit harder for others to find and most people I'll run into won't own it, so it's very special and unique to me. Nowadays I'm thinking of buying from my local stationary store just to make my life a little easier. I'd love to write in a hobonichi, but the pages are too thin and I write too much lol.
>How often do you write?I try my best to write daily! I went through a period where I would only write if something happened that day (an outing with friends or something very unusual) because I wanted to save pages in my current journal that's very nice but only 56 pages, but it feels like a waste. So many days unaccounted for!
>How do you write about you day coherently?If it's a really mundane day, I'll write about what I did in the morning. I have a dog so I'll write down if she was being really naughty or really cute or something. Then I'll just sort of write out everything else that I think is worth noting/can bother to remember. If I actually did something that day, I'll only write about that. If it's a vent, I'll just write out my thoughts. Sometimes it can be a combination of all three and then that day's entry can span like 5 pages or something lol.
>Do you worry about someone reading it?Absolutely. I write a lot of meaningless stuff, but I also write down a lot of things that others might think is concerning, or I'll write really ugly vents about friends or something that might make them upset so of course I don't want them to read it lol.
The attached picture is from the artist who inspired me to start journaling! I own a few of her washi tapes and my current journal is also from her.

Any old deviantart people on here? I'm trying to find someone who held a contest where the winner would be awarded a custom made figure of their OC. I'm pretty sure the winner was hellobaby (attached is a pic of her art) but I can't find the image she submitted or the person who made the figures. The winning picture that was turned into a figure had like wings or feathers coming out of the characters head, a really elaborate bunch of fabric around her waist, and the legs were drawn in a weird way that they had to be adjusted when the sculptor sculpted the legs. I used to always go back and check on the progress of the figure because that person used to post WIPs of it, but I don't think I ever got to see the figure completed. It might not have been hellobaby, but the style looks really similar to what I remember it being.
If it wasn't hellobaby, I'm sure the artist who won has a senior member badge and also has a few DDs their gallery.

High-protein meals make me feel like I've gained 900lbs. Grains, bread and sugar are what keep me doughy and gross, but when I eat them, it feels like I'm doing the correct thing for my body. It's probably because I originally lost weight by calorie restricting instead of just switching to healthy options.

And erect penis is harder than expected and very warm from the extra blood. It's a good feeling, better than a cold sex toy but not really that special in terms of feeling. Also even though this isn't part of the question, you can't feel it when a guy finished inside. This always seems to hurt their ego.

I think everyone's boundaries on that are different and if someone is being overly pushy about it just try to reassure them that you aren't intentionally ignoring them, you just got busy/didn't have a good response/forgot etc and that you can't be expected to respond instantly all the time. If its something that needs an immediate, pressing response, they should call like an adult tbh.

>>478078I’ve had two and all seems to be in perfect working order. The vagina itself heals just fine, but something to be wary of is your pelvic floor - the hormone relaxin makes it quite soft and the immense amount of pressure it goes through due to the weight of pregnancy and then childbirth, it can take quite a while to get back into full strength and keep things ‘tight’. It’s why women might piss themselves after haven given birth, the pelvic floor is weak and isn’t keeping things in place.
So I guess to answer your question, yes and no.

What helps you when you're frustrated?
Lately, I've been feeling so frustrated with everything in my life but I have no idea how to take it out in a healthy way.
Exercising, writing things down, killing things in vidya, punching pillows doesn't help enough. Listening to music helps a little but not long-term. It really sucks to have no outlet for frustration or anyway to stop things from bottling up.

Don't accept shit form anyone unless you're sure they aren't this kind of person.

You can act caring/supportive but don't make it personal unless its very necessary, don't ask too many questions or worry too much cause people WILL take advantage on you, you need to draw a line so people think "oh she's nice/friendly" without expecting you to be their counselor/mother.

Farmers with depression: have antidepressants ever helped you?
No. 480242
>>480218yes they helped a lot. I started taking it when I was 14 and quit when I was 17. Made me not commit suicide. Keep in mind, it doesn't solve your problems, it makes you "neutral". No extreme lows and no extreme highs. I advise you to get weekly psychiatric help while taking anti-depressants. That way, you can actually solve your issues.
Some side effects for me was sluggishness. I slept all the time.
Of course it varies from person to person and what kind of anti-depressant you take. If one kind doesn't work, try something else. Most people who say that anti-depressant suck usually haven't found the right one for them.

I especially can never picture myself being happy in a long-term relationship with a man unless anime boys spontaneously become real.
I gave a woman my number because she asked for it after we had a long chat in the grocery store but she only wanted to hook me up with her brother and that made me so sad that I moped for a week or two.

I used to fantasize about anime guys or actors, men that I wasn't ever going to interact with. Any man I tried to date irl, I would feel attracted at first… then the moment they showed interest and tried to touch me, I'd instantly lose any interest like turning off a switch, and didn't feel any attraction anymore. It happened over and over again. Then when I finally put the pieces together and started dating women… all that weirdness just stopped. I was finally comfortable touching and being touched.
Obv I also stopped fantasizing about men, fictional or not. It happened spontaneously, because before I was trying to "cover up" and now I don't need to anymore.

No. 480867
>>480218Yes, BUT (big caveat here) not all of them, and not the same one and same dose forever. Because doctors can't really accurately guess what specific brain chemistry you have that will react well or poorly to meds, and psyche meds are serious business, they'll often start you on the most gentle, common ones first. If those do nothing (or obviously if you have an extreme reaction to them) they can use the kind of drug they prescribed previously to start narrowing the list down. Eventually you will likely stumble into one that works with minimal or less obtrusive side effects, and then you'll stay on a management dose for as long as possible. However, eventually your body will build up a tolerance to that dose and you'll need to either experiment with increasing it or try a new medication.
As properly trying and weaning off each singular med is at least a month long process, you're looking at sinking a lot of time into finding one that works for you, and more time in the future to maintain that. Depending on the kind of medication you end up on, you may need regular (up to monthly) blood testing and may have to be wary of certain foods or alcohol.
Its not something to take lightly and you need to enter into it knowing that you can only glean some help out of it by staying committed to working for it. Just take it step by step and don't treat it like a magic cure-all.

What are some good, well rounded Christmas gifts? I'm having trouble trying to figure out what to buy a good friend this year… we're close and I know his interests, but it's all mostly anime and games and it feels kinda one-trick ponyish to just keep getting him merch of that stuff lol. Last year I got him a picture book of cute cats because he lost his cat, but this year I'm not sure what would be good enough to say "hey this genuinely made me think of you and I hope you appreciate it" but not be like "hey here some fuckin anime merch cos I know you like this series so ofc you'll like this thing."
I feel like anime merch are always my first line of defense with gifts, it's pretty much foolproof and I usually get fanmade merch so it's a bit more special, but when I get closer to people I always want to try getting things that remind me more of them outside of some TV show.

To TL;DR long family drama. I have a sister that's about 15 years older than me. She has a son, my nephew, that has just turned 21. I met them both for the first time half a year ago when she opened up her home to me when I was fleeing an abusive relationship.
So, I drink a lot. Sister knows this but doesn't really comment on it. Nephew is a shut-in manchild that plays video games all day and works at McDonalds but somehow has a gf. He has drank one (1) beer in his life, as far as we are aware, and that managed to get him drunk enough for us both to notice.
I just got my own place a week ago and nephew wants to come over and binge watch a TV show we were talking about. I told him point blank I was gonna be hammered if he stayed long enough. He said that he could drink too since he had just turned 21 and that he could just crash on my couch.
Now this kid is pretty naive but he can be manipulative and deceitful. Overall he's a good guy. I don't personally care if he drinks, but I feel like he's just using this as an excuse to get drunk in a non-judgmental atmosphere, because he still lives with my sister and she sure as hell wouldn't let him drink in her house. With this in mind, I think it would be really funny to have him try to match my drinking and get loose, since he's always so uptight, so I am down to have him over for this. I would also get a lot of joy for calling him out on his reasons and watching him be uncomfortable, since he should know to be less obvious by now at the age of 21 lmao.
My question is, would my sister be mad at me if I let my nephew come over and get drunk?
I've never really dealt with any family issues my life, as demonstrated by having a sister I never even fucking knew about, so idk if it is a faux pas or not. All I know is it would be funny if it happened.
No. 481458
>>481452She is definitely a tight ass but only because she knows how spergy her son is and that he isn't equipped to defend himself. Me and sister were both party girls who essentially ran off at a young age and became successful. Nephew on the other hand is more cowed to authority and non-rebellious, so if he were to enter the club scene or whatever now he would just be a laughingstock totally out of his element and taken advantage of, because he was bullied and has literally no life experience.
I honestly never thought about the boundary violation teasing aspect because I do that all the time to pretty much every guy I meet. Since I've never really had family I've done it as much to him as I have any other guy. He is 21 and I am 25, so not out of the pale for him to find me attractive, although he has never acted on it. He just ropes me into long conversations about Star Wars and other geek bullshit that I humour him for until I find a gap in conversation long enough for me to go smoke. He seems to lack anyone to talk to it about and me enthusiastically agreeing to these conversations could definitely be erotic and appealing to him, as a man, upon reconsideration. I had simply thought it polite.
And yeah, my life was definitely a mess, still is I suppose. I think sister would take it personally if I let him drink at my place, whether it's right morally or not, since he genuinely isn't the type of person that is ready for it. I could prove her reaction wrong 'objectively' but it wouldn't mean anything in terms of our relationship. But I value her more than I do him. Especially due to familial alcoholism susceptibility.
I have a much clearer idea of what I will do going forward with this. Thanks so much for your reponse.

You don't have to be mean, but she needs to hear the choices and sacrifices you've made to be how you are. When it's not obvious to someone like her, she gets frustrated because she assumes it's some kind of luck or magic just because you haven't complained about your personal journey.

How do I get over my ex being abusive toward me? I don't want to get back with him and I'm glad it is over, but I feel really dirty. Like permanently unclean and marked. I feel like I am a disposable person and have no value, I deserved to be hit and insulted, and I'm never going to be clean and worthy again.
I'm in intensive therapy and my therapist said it'll always make me feel bad and I just need to learn to cope with it. It's too intense to cope with right now and I got better for a few months and then back slid. I kind of just want to save myself the effort of trying and failing and kms. I live alone in a city far from my family and I have no friends. I try and have been trying to make friends but it's very slow.
Should I tell my family that this stuff happened? I don't want to burden them. I did tell my sister but asked her to keep it a secret. She came to visit me to cheer me up but we haven't spoke of it since. I have a really good relationship with my dad. Would telling him help in anyway? He would tell the rest of my family, but he has always been really supportive of me. He might drop everything to visit me, and I'd feel a little guilty for that since he is taking care of my ill grandma. I did tell him I broke up with my ex and was sad but didn't go into detail. I don't really want to burden him with extra trouble
I feel so incredibly dirty and it has been over 6 months since we broke up. I have started hurting myself and I mildly want to stop before it gets really bad (I keep fantasizing about messing my face up and then offing myself). I don't know what would fix this.
I guess I'm looking for two things:
I'd like a short term fix that would help me today/right now and I'd like a long term fix.
Right now I'm trying to keep myself alive by reminding myself that my family would be upset, making a care package to send to my nieces, and buying myself a nice outfit and making elaborate plans for how I'll spend Christmas (going to Christmas concerts, going to gingerbread man exhibit, etc). This isn't fixing the problem but it's keeping me from drinking until I vomit and pass out in the bathroom again haha :/

>>483334>I'm in intensive therapy and my therapist said it'll always make me feel bad and I just need to learn to cope with it. It's really weird of your therapist to say something like that.
How long were you in that relationship? I was in an
abusive relationship that only lasted for a couple months but it still took me several months to stop feeling so much pain over how I was treated by that piece of shit boyfriend.
Now it has been several years and I barely think about what happened but I admit I still feel a bit dirty when I think of the sex (and that time when he half-raped me).
One thing that helped me get better is that I got into sports not long after the relationship (whitewater kayaking and climbing specifically). Maybe try to find something that you've never tried before and that you could enjoy? Physical activity is very good, especially if it's something in which you can get better and observe progress. For me it helped because it took me outside, made me physically stronger and boosted my self-esteem when I saw myself getting better at these sports.

that even if it does continue to feel bad you can find ways to cope?
It must be really hard not having friends/family to talk to though. It might really help you to tell your family, because keeping it hidden for other people's sake can really drive feelings of shame and self-loathing further. If you can, it might be a really positive step to let your dad know what's going on. But whatever you choose to do, please know that you're not a burden. You went through something hard, and you're dealing with that, and you deserve support and love.
I really hope you can make some friends and focus on those little/positive things. Just keep going. You didn't do anything wrong, you aren't a burden, and you don't deserve to be in pain and on your own.
Good luck anon, it'll get better, but give yourself time and take care of yourself.

Why do so many people think it's a bad thing to stay friends with your ex, especially if the breakup was mutual, few years ago and you both moved on with your lives? Like why wouldn't you keep someone who's a good friend to you in your life? Literally just friendship, no flirting or whatever. Is everyone so bothered about the fact that we used to fuck?
I literally don't get it, someone please enlighten me because the amount of people giving me negative comments about it are honestly confusing and hurtful.
No. 483965
>>483964The only person who should reasonably care about you being friends with an ex is your current partner. Even if you know for a fact you have no romantic feelings towards them anymore and have made that clear, people getting back with their exes is pretty common so they might be afraid of that.
Personally I haven't stayed friends with any of my exes, including the ones where the breakup was mutual, because I just have no interest in doing so. I didn't even stay friends with the guy who was my best friend for 5 years before we started dating for another 3, even though we parted very amicably.
No. 483966
>>483964It depends on people's experience I guess. I ended amicably with an ex fiancé but once I started dating again it seemed weird to have an ex fiancé as a friend still. I also was only hanging out with him for comfort and stability in a friend group, when I started feeling more comfortable and making other connections our friendship just fizzled out. Its hard enough with work and adulthood to see friends you love, I didn't want my ex to be a priority still that was the whole point our relationship ended.
Then with my current partner I've had drama with his ex which was unfathomable to me as we are late 20s early 30s age range and I thought I was beyond this. She would periodically contact him solely to find out if we were still dating and always insulting me, I came across the fb messages inadvertently when my bf asked me to look up details from a friend in a fb message and I noticed his ex who had been shit talking me was top of his message list. Like with my ex fiancé we both remained friends with exs before us because during that time we were all still pretty present in each others social lives. The instance with my bf and his ex is that her intentions are not amicable as exemplified by her badmouthing me not only to my bf but other aquintances.
I think if there's an expectation you'll see your ex frequently being amicable seems like the decent thing to do. I think it's weird if a current partner would prioritise a friendship with an ex over their partner tho.

I was at cool training about the psychology of suicidality. don't know how legit it is or if it still stands. basically your brain get's used to having it as a coping mechanism in high stress and it becomes second nature for your brain to jump in and suggest it as the logical solution even if you just…break a dish or some shit. so you get this instant rush of relief when you think about suicide and it keeps making the association stronger over time.
basically prolonged depression and suicidal feelings mean you sort of train yourself to view it as your mental safety net. if you feel in control rn you are probably fine and it is normal for a lot of people but you might look into talk therapy to work on re-training your thoughts when you have the resources.

I notice that there seems to be a lot of Japanese media/IG accounts where women in their 20-30s dress really feminine/soft and have like a soft aesthetic.

It's just generally not a good idea.
I don't know who's behind it or what they wear, but there's always at least a bit of salt about anything that doesn't match the first few Google Image search results when you look up "woman clothing 2019".

>>484467oh my god you drama queen. that was me and it was not the fact that her jeans were ripped and she had a layered shirt. it's the entire edgy tumblr ensemble that looks entirely too tryhard and manufactured for the grocery store. the chains, the boots, the layering, it all just looks like too much at one time for me. when you look like you spend too much time on j fashion tunglr or egirl tumblr, etc, it isn't cute. there's definitely something to said for a look that LOOKS organic and appropriate for daily life. being OTT for daily errands always looks lame imo. i see a lot of girls irl that you can tell spend way too much time on tumblr, imo, you don't want to be that girl.
i disagree with the sentiment that everything is too childish. i think you can do softness appropriately but it takes nuance, and people into any kind of jfashion can never understand that concept. all of these subculture fashions take subtlety to introduce properly to real life clothing.

>>484431The reason a lot of the clothing looks so soft is because of the fabrics depicted, it’s typically linen. Linen that is flowing yet still form fitting to lightly show off a feminine silhouette will achieve that look you’re going for, pic related. The key thing is for the silhouette to be simple, and accessories to be minimal - to achieve the correct balance, take off the last accessory you put on.
Plus I’d recommend you keep your hair a natural colour and style it simply, Japanese women are also keen on fringes (particularly blunt ones) so that’ll probably also help you achieve that soft look, and rather than full on layers your hair would be best off being feathered throughout with a wispy taper off at the end - this way it’ll be easy for you to achieve that ‘effortless yet put together’ look in a lot of such media
But honestly, you’re best off speaking to women either irl or in dedicated fashion spaces so they can better gauge what will fit your body and personality. Hope this helps!

>>483310>>484344Ok so from what I gather - there was a channel called Nicodemus which attempted to expose Bald by identifying him with an account on the RooshV forum. However that video was taken down and there's been no mention pf this since. The only available videos which talk about these allegations are:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFNYmlUdkKkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEYnu7sKSd4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d2oJzZVE7s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp1jO9Fg1QcAll of these videos being highly disliked - the first one is a recap on the Nicodemus situation. The rest are by are by a strange spiritual channel and if I have to honest I only skimmed them since they are very long and he predominantly talks about Harald Baldr.
Basically it's all speculation with no solid proof. There's no confirmation that the person on RooshV is bald and bankrupt. I cannot comment on Harald Balrd.
I'm Eastern European myself and I have a burning hatred for sex tourist and PUA scrots so this situation felt personal which is why I got into it. However since there's no evidence I can't point fingers and bald and bankrupt seems to be very beloved. I don't want to drag innocent men but this whole situation struck a cord with me.

>>484240>>484248Red Pill is also often used by /pol/ users and similar types. If you read something like "how can I redpill my [personal relation]" it's asking how to introduce the ideology (or "the truth about the world") to them. Same with something like "[x person/group] is redpilled", it means they subscribe to their ideology.
Blue Pill can also be a label that somebody gives themselves on purpose to mean they're against the ideology of the manosphere version of "The Red Pill" (see /r/TheBluePill on reddit)
Purple Pill is agreeing with both sides of Red and Blue Pill (usually the "manosphere" versions of Red and Blue Pill) or being unsure. Used most in the subreddit /r/PurplePillDebate
Pink Pill is either radfem like on lolcow or trans people on 4chan and Discord trying to get other boys to join them and "take the pink pill" i.e. go on HRT
Black Pill can be general nihilism or more specifically it's the word incels give to their ideology about things like lookism, hypergamy, etc.

I just heard about it by accident because they talked about it on the radio and ever since I freak the fuck out when I think about it tho. I do go to the dentist, I do my brush my theet and all the basic dental hygiene stuff that everybody does btw.
The fear of loosing my theet got recently really bad when my mum told me about the relatives and their loss but then again she said that they barely went to the dentist. I do have weak theet by nature and will always have, so the combination of all written above just won't let me sleep at night. I will go to the dentist again about my gum because I feel like I need to have another talk about this because I do not feel right about it.

In my experience with rx's you can find relief through essentially getting high/experiencing euphoria, or becoming like a zombie and not feeling anything at all, including anxiety. Neither are viable options conducive to healthy living for me. I guess it all depends on how severely you're suffering.
I have also taken a less acutely impactful medication that made it a little easier to get up and go outside (after the inital month -to-6-week waiting period for it to kick in), but definietly did not magically erase my symptoms. It felt like a little room opened inside my brain and inside was the strength/will to do small tasks that used to make me nervous, or even things I didn't realize were affected by anxiety like aversion and procrastination of chores or showering, etc. This is the spark that you can build upon, with therapy and work, into a healthier you.

This twitter topic made me think about my middle school teacher. I have one of his emails and used to contact him semi-regularly using it, but a couple years ago he stopped replying to my emails. I don't know if it's because he abandoned that account or if he's just fed up with replying to me (don't really blame him, I think my emails got a little much as I was going through being a teenager and becoming an adult lol). Part of me wants to contact him again but I'm scared he stopped replying for the latter reason. It wasn't an .edu email or anything the school would've given him- just a gmail account he gave to all the students to contact him through, so I find him abandoning it a little weird. I found a wordpress blog that he used for his students but it doesn't look like its been used past 2015. He no longer works at my old middle school, but his wife (who I knew because a friend was in her class, but I never had her) looks like she still works there and has an email address listed on the site. Should I email her asking for my teacher's email or would that be too weird? How would I even go about wording it? Like, 'hey I used to be in your husband's class in xx year and was just wondering if you had his current email'? I feel stalkerish, but going through a google deepdive trying to find his email also feels very stalkerish lol.

Meanwhile I graduated with a master's degree and barely anyone wants to hire me because I'd be too expensive to train or to pay but they don't want to admit it so they say bullshit like "we don't have any positions available for young graduates" (while posting that they do in their job offers) or "you don't have the type of degree we want" (which I actually do but they barely glance at my CV and don't even read my cover letter so they wouldn't know.) Many people who graduated with me managed to get nice jobs abroad because they got lucky and rich enough to move there, or in bigger cities where you get paid well but the cost of living is so high that you're actually losing money by moving there. Because of all of this I feel like everything in the job market depends on how rich your parents were to pay you an education in a school that can give you internships and a nice reputation or just total luck.

>>486429Honestly I wouldn't go anywhere to find an example. Media and the internet are almost always rife with shitty relationship representations, and everyone is different. Just because some couples have 3somes or hangout with their exes doesn't mean you're obligated to, or ~not~ to. The perfect relationship is where you both set boundaries and respect the other's, whatever they may be. Boundaries are always subjective. Personally, hanging out with exes is off the table for me. I would never enter a relationship with someone who doesn't share that boundary with me. Which is perfectly acceptable because it keeps me comfortable and happy. Some couples think it's fine and they are comfortable with it.
And that's also perfectly acceptable.
You should be a team, absolutely. However, you have to remember that your partner is their own person and you cant control them. And Visa versa.
Most people are very absorbed in this soulmates forever culture and it leads to unhealthy relationships where one party is
toxic to the other, or both. Always remember that no matter how connected you are, you are ultimately separate people. You should never make yourself uncomfortable, hurt, put in danger, isolated, generally out of your comfort zone for the sake of your partner.
If you want to move for a job and your partner wants to stay, you, individually, need to weigh the pros and cons. Is this job your dream job? Will it change the quality of your life? Would you be willing to give that up for your feelings for this person? Does that person increase your quality enough of life to compensate? Set the boundary that makes you happy.
If your partner corrects you/calls you out in public, consider if they were trying to maybe save you from an even more embarassing situation. Also consider if they were doing it to be malicious and damage your reputation with someone, or make you appear stupid.
If you set a boundary that says you see it as disrespectful to publically do that, then that's your boundary and they should respect that wholly. If you don't view it that way then its not a problem.
Some people can have very opposing views and be together. If you feel like your partners views not only counteract yours, but threaten the relationship dynamic or your existence as a whole, that's a problem. For instance, most women would have a hard time staying with someone who believes women shouldn't be allowed in the workplace, because that view directly reflects how he feels about them; Versus maybe you disagree about gun control or foreign policy, lots of people work around those types of things. ~however~ if even gun control or something more trivial makes you uncomfortable in any way at all, you are absolutely entitled to leave them.
Imo relationships are two people living in harmony and making a social agreement to tackle life and its throes together during their time together. They are not two people fused into one entity who have to do everything together. The narrative that relationships are about selflessness and letting your partner disrespect you or make you uncomfortable in any way is unacceptable.
TLDR(sort of): Boundries are subjective and you should decide what is ok and what isnt based on how ~you~ feel and no one else. You wouldn't ask someone their favorite color to determine your own, you shouldn't ask what someone else's perfect relationship is to determine your own. If your partner makes you unhappy, you are not their mother, you are not bound to them by some dystopian-esque soulmate program, and you are ~not~ obligated to try and fix it, "ride it out," etc, by causing yourself more harm. You owe no one nothing, and even if something dumb like the car they drive makes you uncomfortable in ~ANY~ way, you are absolutely in the right to leave, or to not if that's your choice. The perfect relationship is one where both parties feel respected and loved because their personal boundaries are followed, nothing more, nothing less.

We broke up and ended on good terms, though we've obviously maintained distance and haven't held a proper conversation since we broke up. I feel like if I tweet in support it comes off as too much, like I'm invading a space I'm no longer allowed in. I feel like I'm constantly teetering between wanting to stay in her life because I'm still hung up on her, and genuinely wanting to show support for all of her endeavors because she is a good person and a good friend.
I should just shut up and stop because I know things will never go back to how they were before my it's like my stupid monkey brain can't help but maintain even the smallest, tiniest bit of contact with her lol.
No. 487265
>>487247Honestly it depends on how your ex is, like if she's reasonable or if she's the type to get the wrong idea.
I don't feel uncomfortable keeping some form of contact with my ex and supporting his endeavors, although we're not even close anymore and I'm in a new relationship.
To me he's like those distant friends that you don't really keep up with but that you know you can count on.

Not letting go of their hands, holding their hips and waist, rubbing their shoulders, kissing them on the lips, sniffing their hair, grabbing them by the arm, not letting go when they try to move away, rubbing his face onto their neck, rubbing his nose against theirs, shit like that. Constantly says cringe shit like telling a father he must have to try real hard to keep the guys away from his daughter as the 16 year old girl is standing right there with them at a swearing-in event live on TV.

I'm a patron and from her Patreon-exclusive videos, she seems to be a person who keeps a lot of her life private specifically because of creepy people on the internet. She's also talked about blocking patrons before who are in the higher tiers because they started to come off as creepy and make neckbeard-esque comments, and she doesn't want to foster any delusion that they have some kind of emotional bond that the patron is paying for. She's said before that sometimes it's not the people who hate you that you need to worry about, it's the people who love you and are obsessed with you and think that you owe them something.
Plus, a lot of people seem to really appreciate her for who she is so if some dude is being creepy and obsessive in the comments of videos, they'll shame him and tell him to stop.

>>488494People like your acquaintance seem to think that not wanting sex with just about anyone 24/7 means that someone is "on the asexual spectrum". They've turned having a low to medium sex drive into a special sexuality. I think it's a combination of wanting to be special despite being straight and feeling alienated by the oversexualisation pushed in the media and by dating apps.
Honestly I have no idea how true asexuality works or if it's even a real thing. When I was looking into the "asexual community" I was told that my situation (absolutely nonexistent sex drive, body doesn't respond to sexual stimuli) is not representative of asexual people and basically to gtfo. It seems that most self-described asexuals still masturbate and enjoy having sex with their romantic partners. It's basically a meaningless label imo.

No. 489102
>>489093depends. women tend to cheat for different reasons than men, i find. women are often emotionally neglected in relationships, or even emotionally abused, and seek solace or comfort, or the feeling of being desired, but it doesn't tend to be an ongoing thing, and it isn't motivated by sex. often there's real reason for them to feel this way. men really do often do emotionally neglect women in relationships. i feel that these are
valid reasons for women to 'cheat', honestly, considering that often when women do this, it isn't a sustained thing, it's often done out of impulse because they're distraught and feel unwanted or uncared for. i feel like, at that point, you barely have a relationship anyways though. by the time you're being mistreated or neglected enough to bring on this level of emotional desperation, it's already usually the death knell, so it's kind of whatever imo. i think these women really aren't cheaters in the traditional sense, so no, i think that people who 'cheat' like this aren't likely to cheat again if not neglected or mistreated.
men who cheat because they're horndogs will usually cheat again. i don't see the point in trying to rehabilitate them or take a chance on them. men are already too impulsive on average, and then you're going to take a chance on someone who has a history of being sexually impulsive? potentially dangerous on multiple levels. there are some women who cheat not out of emotional neglect, but i think generally they have unresolved issues, they use cheating as self harm or self sabotage, and they aren't doing it out of lust the way men are. they're just emotionally unavailable and can't be in a relationship without hurting themselves and others, or compulsively attention seeking because they feel unloved. women who cheat out of lust and with such brazen disrespect for their partners are generally pretty rare, imo.

>>489040If you think about it for like 5 seconds it's obvious that people's bodies and ass cheeks are vastly different and some women can comfortably have a strap in between their buttcheeks and some cannot.

Thongs are comfy for me personally, I don't notice them and I guess my pussy is small enough to not be bothered or fall out of the front either.
I was literally just thinking about this and how I need to buy a new box of thong-style panty liners and if period products were covered by health insurance I bet they wouldn't cover thong panty liners and men and politicians would get all in a tizzy about buying menstrual products for
sluts with tax dollar money… and how if that were reality I would have to wear looser clothing while on my P so my panty lines wouldn't show and wondering if that would be oppressive or not… Anyways… anyone else think of long-winded hypothetical situations in the blink of an eye while sitting on the toilet?

I can't even wrap my mind around how you could think so. Skeletons kinda sorta all look similar so I guess I can see what you're getting at but people's pelvises can tilt forward or back, there can be all kinds of different fat and muscle distributions, the size and shape of the vagina, shape of ass cheeks, length of gooch (lmfao), the way someone's body behaves in motion, and a million more things would effect the fit and comfort of a thong or any clothing in general. People vary so, so much. And we're blobby and soft too, that complicates things lol.

>>489515>>489513>>489526>>489538thanks for the recs guys, i just can't see the point in spending literally anything more than like $200 for a phone. i think it's pretty outrageous tbh. this guy i was talking to chewed me out bc he keeps buying $520 phones and his "much better" phones keep having software issues. this is like his third $500 phone within the past 2 1/2 years that he has had issues with, but because he creates mobile apps and "does this for a living", he assures me i'm stupid for spending only $200 and never having any of the issues his "much better" phones have. that's why i asked. considering that it's a tiny computer you bring everywhere, people can steal it, you can misplace it, etc, i just don't see the point in dropping more than $200 on it. i can get 2 for the price of one midrange phone, or higher end, and i don't find that they are so much better.

>>489790anon where do you live? if you live somewhere with an active film lab (or even a drug store like CVS that mails it out) I promise that buying an actual film camera and film is totally worth it. it will cost less than buying new disposable cameras every time, and will also just give you a new skill/hobby that you'll probably learn to love.. you can stretch a package containing 4 rolls of 36 exposures out super long, and even longer if you get a half-frame camera (the olympus pen!). even expired thrift shop film (i notice goodwills will have bags of old unused rolls for 99 cents) can create some beautiful images
a simple automatic point and shoot like the olympus stylus (any model. a lot of people rec the non-zoom versions but both the zoom models and non-zoom models are fantastic and have nice lenses) might be up your alley.
but other good starter 35mm cameras if you want to search online (sometimes this is more reliable and nice when sellers bundle a case/bag and film and accessories) include the olympus trip 35 (which is manual), the nikon l35af which has a good fixed lens, and might be good if youre used to disposable cameras, and the cheapest of these options if you're looking online might be the canon sure shot af35ml. it's automatic and shows up in goodwills constantly. but with that, if you don't want to look online (where camera blogs and forums can create weird markups/overpricing for certain specific models, like the stylus can be kinda expensive…) they are always in abundance in secondhand stores. if you find a camera that works at the thrift shop you might want to hold onto it! and the nice thing is that the technology is old enough but still widely-used enough that there's a wealth of info on pretty much any camera you want and its operation, along with general analog-photo basics. pic related isn't by me, i just wanted an example of a half frame camera (olympus pen f) + expired film producing 2 shots

>>489790>>489794i'll also add that there are now labs that will let you mail them film, fill out an online form/pay online, and they will just send you the digital copies back, if you don't have a lab near you. and here's another nice half-frame/expired film image

>>489777you can make it into hobby if you pick up candle making or pyrography! both are fun, 10/10, highly recommended. other fun things to do with fire: draw with charcoal end of used matches, make "medieval parchments" by burning edges off paper, learn how to make a house out of matchsticks and then set it on fire, making a spirit lamp, opting for those 90s floaty candles.
also on note of making candles, pouring them is kinda the basic way, after solidifying, remove the casing or not. can also use weird shit for casing like a hollowed out orange rinds (keep an eye on those when burning tho lol, fire hazard!). haven't tried dipping, grandma had to do it as a child and it sounds tedious af but maybe you'd like it? making them by rolling up a sheet of beeswax is probably the easiest way, additionally, great smelling results bc beeswax, duh!

>>489734Depends on your waist-to-hip ratio. But I'm similar, I gain mostly on my legs, arms, and hips, and while I have the whr of a pear (and I'm flat) my shoulders are equally as broad as my hips.
It's either broad shouldered pear or flat hourglass lol.

>>489280Yes, they sold something to a EU citizen. You can sue them under EU law by going to your national court, and they can rule on EU law because that is the process if it is between a citizen and a company. In that case you don't go to a special EU court, since it is a horizontal relation.They can then try to enforce the judgement in the US.
Another option is suing in the US. Citizenship is not a requirement to sue or be sued in either the federal courts of the United States or the courts of any US state.

>>489953>sargoy of cuckad implies that he's a jewish cuck, which is ironic cuz he's a legit nazi sympathizer and holocaust denierdoes it? i don't think that's what goy means, anon. isn't a goy someone who ISNT jewish? it's calling him a non-jew cuck from what i can tell. not that that really is a good or quippy nickname for pol to have given him anyways. they just insert anything yiddish into any name. it sounds like a jew is calling non-jews cucks, or at least this non-jew a cuck, and i dont see how it's clever for anti-semites to associate not being jewish with any kind of cuckholdry and repeat that amongst themselves.
and carl of swindon is better because it isn't bringing up racial or ethnic shit, it just is mocking him for trying to posture himself as some influential and cultured man of the world when he isn't, so whether or not the alt right uses it is kind of irrelevant. it's just a little more clever, imo.

I know there was some change with Google image search but wtf happened? Is pic related because my tablet is old and shitty or is this really what it looks like now? You can't even click the image to view the full size. Where the fuck am I supposed to get images now? No, really, what am I missing? It's probably obvious but I'm clueless. And if I click 'classic view' on the bottom it just goes back to google's home page and then when I click 'images' it goes back to the mobile version.

>>490216Yeah, ten years is a bit much tbh.
I felt wary of being interested in an 18-year-old and I'm 22. So.
But if you were in another point of time (him 35 and you 45) I think it might be okay? It's just the life stage thing.

>>490360how do you like the iPad Pro? has your friend used one, so they could compare? does your friend get a lot of hardware/software issues with their Huion?
i found a Huion review by some random furry and it's less than favorable… it's making me think i should ask for something else and just save up for an iPad Pro or a Cintiq since they seem more reliable. if you could show your friend this video and get their thoughts that would be absolutely amazing

>>490366I sent her the video but she has an enormous workload around the holidays so I can't promise she will get back to me expediently. I do know that she used to use an ipad, but prefers her kamvas for her professional work.
I am more of a hobbyist who makes decent supplemental income through commissions, so my experience might have less weight, but I do love my ipad pro. I upgraded to a 2017 model with the gen 1 pencil from my ancient wacom intuos 3 I've had for over 10 years (I also used a yiynova tablet display briefly but it was a piece of shit and did not last long). I love the portability and I enjoy using procreate a lot, which is only 10 bucks and makes huge updates fairly frequently. HUGE bang for your buck. It is also very intuitive to use. The only downside, to me, is my preferred program, CSP, is a subscription model on the app store for some reason, and compared to using procreate, CSP feels like a bad port for the ipad. I find myself doing most of my work in procreate just because it is much less clunky, which is why I would like to get a cheap pen display for my desktop so I don't have to pay for CSP yearly. But if I had to pick between the ipad pro and a pen display, I would pick the ipad.
So I guess it boils down to your workflow, need for portability, and what you need it for. Is art a source of income for you or a hobby? I also use my ipad as a laptop, notetaking in school, Netflix (I don't own a TV), etc which makes it more valuable to me. Sorry this was kind of rambly and long winded but I hope it helps.

>>490374>I try to tell everyone buy a 2nd hand cintiq that looks new. The price gets cut in half or more. I got the one before the current generation as I heard those have some problems.where would you recommend to buy a 2nd hand Cintiq? was yours bought 2nd hand? if so, does that affect warranty/customer service regarding your tablet? and what problems do the current generations have? sorry for so many questions, tyvm anon
>>490385>Is art a source of income for you or a hobby?it's currently a hobby, though i'd like to make money off of it someday. not as my sole career, more for supplemental income like you described. portability would be nice, though it isn't super necessary. i also mainly work in CSP so it's a shame to hear the mobile version is fucky and subscription-based (like, wtf). though from using procreate very briefly (maybe half an hour) it did feel pretty nice to work in. thank you so much for answering and for sending your friend the video!

>>490351I talked with proffesional artists who thinks that new generation huion kamvas pro is comparble to Cintiq. Only difference I see is quality of plastic.
Cintiq has a lot of useless technology like multitouch, pen rotation. It's overpriced for use you'll get from it if you aren't an advanced pro who's using elaborate brushstrokes.
>>490366Some issues in video occured because she failed to set up her laptop properly. Bugs can be caused by things like touchpad driver (for example cursor shaking she had with all other tablets), windows pen driver detecting it as a touchscreen, it need to be set up as a second screen in windows options (it's common sense, there are many different options). There are things that need to be set up in windows tablet options or else pressure won't work in photoshop, and only photoshop. Everythign is described on the internet.

It's just as functional as it is on desktop, albeit a bit more awkward/crowded because the largest iPad is under 13" inches vs most monitors and tablet displays being much larger. The subscription definitely sucks though, I think it is roughly about $100 a year.

>>490411Went with the 13" as the 22? Is probably only needed in large scale 3d animation and machine engineering builds.
Sorry but no, you don't know what's you are talking about. Anything below 16" is barely usable, and big non-screen tablet is a better choice than small screen tablets. Smaller sizes of screen tablets like 16 and 19 are good for 3d. For 2d digital art the bigger tablet the better, 16 is minimum, I have 20 and it's ok, but I'd buy bigger if I was buyign again.
