i’m not deleting a 6-y/o vent page just bc of some loser tho, i have too many subreddits i like and i love posting here bc someone needs to see my food and i am a yapper.
if you’re reading this, linkedin message me like a man instead of stalking me like a pussy.

i really want to go to graduate school. i think that desire got to me and i blanked out completely during a really important final for a class pretty much essential for admissions. i don’t think i could’ve gotten more than a 60% on that despite coming in with an A- midterm grade. this is my second retake too (the first was bc i got pretty sick during my first time taking it.)
someone tell me this isn’t the end of the world bc i am feeling very discouraged right now
i studied for so long but basically blanked out and suddenly three hours were over. i went in with an A- but should be lucky to get a B. am i cooked? is there anything i can do between now and admissions to make up for it?
hi everyone,
sorry if this is tmi but i would love some help. i’m petite (4’11”) and have a pretty small chest (28D, from the calculator). i’m actually pretty happy with them on their own (imo, they look nice when i'm naked and have a good shape) but they’re far enough apart and small enough that once i have clothes on there’s basically no visible cleavage at all, which kind of drives me crazy.
unless i’m using a lot of boob tape or my hands to force them together, regular bras --- even push-up bras --- don’t really do much. so i’m trying to figure out what actually works for this kind of chest/build.
i'm not trying to radically change how they look, just figure out how to make them look better in clothes and get more lift/cleavage when i want it without doing something ridiculous every time.
would especially love tips from other petites / small-band people, especially if you also have a wider-set chest. bra styles, inserts, taping methods, necklines, specific brands ... anything would help. thank you!
tldr: unblocked my ex out of impulse/curiosity and he's going out again with the girl i had a bad feeling about.
my ex (23m) dumped me (22f) about two months ago. we were long distance, and he hooked up with this girl in his area on and off before me. he took her off all his socials while we were together, but my stomach was still churning all the time and i constantly felt "off" even though he assured me they were no longer talking.
unblocked him on IG tonight just to see what was going on and turns out he's following her again. he liked all her pictures going back to ~ a week after he dumped me and they're flirting in the comments for all of them. i don't know if i got cheated on and flirting in the comments could mean nothing but it sure feels like it.
i feel bad because i'm still a mess after the breakup and it looks like he's just moved on in a week, perhaps even less than that. i know that i dodged a bullet but it doesn't make me feel any better. consciously i’ll be fine but i’m really annoyed emotionally.
hi all — copying my comment in r/AsianBeauty here to get more advice. i recently started a dermatologist-prescribed routine with 0.05% tretinoin and azelaic acid, and while my skin doesn’t sting or seem barrier-damaged, it’s been feeling very dry/tight, especially after cleansing.
i think my main issues are:
• my La Roche-Posay salicylic acid cleanser feels too stripping now
• my La Roche-Posay moisturizer has started pilling
my current routine:
morning
• The Ordinary Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner
• prescription azelaic acid
• La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
• Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
evening
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
• La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser (salicylic acid)
• wait 30 minutes
• The Ordinary Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner
• 0.05% tretinoin
• La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
• Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
i’m mainly looking for:
• a gentler second cleanser
• a moisturizer that won’t pill
• any supporting-product swaps that helped you tolerate tret + azelaic acid better
i’m not really looking to change the actives themselves since they were prescribed. thank you!
my ex of two months tried to start some drama/get back into my life, but in the process made me remember how much he drained my energy. our history deserves its own post tbh but is secondary to how i feel FREE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS!!!!!!!!! breakfast from earlier — ginger + lemon tea, chobani peach yogurt, blueberries, sourdough with smoked salmon
no makeup in any of these! any feedback on how to style myself would be helpful since i’m trying to figure out my look/makeup style. just trying to look my best :) will prob delete later
hi everyone! i don’t pluck my eyebrows from the bottom at all, but i think they are a little higher than id like them compared to the top of my eyes. any tips on how to reduce the distance between the two with makeup?
trying to figure out a makeup/styling look that works best for my features, but am a little scared about putting my face out there on r/truerateme. please no creepy comments/dms; i just want to look my best :)
hi all! basically what the title says. no makeup in any of these photos! i’ve never really used makeup beyond a little concealer for acne scars and mascara, so i feel a bit lost on what would actually enhance my face instead of just copying random tutorials.
i really like my eye color — it’s a lighter brown/amber in person, though i’m not sure how well that comes through in photos (photo 3 is probably closest to IRL) — and i also like my lip shape, so i’d love any advice on how to play those up. i’m less sure about my eyebrows and whether they’re actually working for me right now.
i also have a somewhat rounder face / smaller chin, and from the front i feel like my nose can look a little broader too, though i’m not sure how much of that is actually real versus me overthinking it. i’m not sure whether i should lean into a softer/cuter look or if there are makeup choices that would add a little more structure without looking too heavy or if i’m just fixating on my face lol
i’d really appreciate any suggestions on brows, eye makeup, blush/contour placement, lip colors, or just the overall kind of makeup style that seems like it would fit my features best. if you have unrelated advice, i'm also happy to hear it (please be honest but kind lol.) i’m very much a beginner, so practical advice is especially welcome
on tretinoin 0.05% for around 1.5 months and have been on lower doses since around november. very happy with results for active acne but wanted to ask if i can do anything about the remaining scars. thanks!

what the title says! super new to makeup. i think i have a somewhat rounder face and softer features but am wondering if i should lean into those more instead of trying to hide them. any advice would be helpful bc i know very little outside of basic foundation to hide acne
got stressed and fell back into some bad habits … any advice on how to get back on track + heal quickly would be helpful. i’m on tretinoin 0.05% in evenings and azelaic acid in the mornings if that would help!
hi all! i’m looking to rent an overnight parking spot or unused driveway space near nassau street, within walking distance of the university. i’d be happy to pay monthly.
my current parking situation is getting too expensive, so i’m trying to find a cheaper local option. if you live nearby and have an open spot that isn’t being used (especially if your building or house has parking but you don’t have a car) i’d love to hear from you. if you know someone nearby who might be open to this, please feel free to message me. thanks so much!
not sure if this is freudian or not but i don't care atp. i have some real problems.
i (22f) lost my father very suddenly at 19. i had no experience at all with relationships before then. two weeks later, i got plastered and had my first kiss with a guy who proceeded to grope me. at 21, i began a year-long humiliating relationship --- my first ever --- with a man who proceeded to disrespect me repeatedly with his incompetence, then suddenly abandoned me + broke my heart. i have a massive crush on an older (early-30s) man who will probably never see me the same way b/c of the age difference. i constantly seek male validation, especially from older men. i'm still (half) a virgin, not because i don't want to have sex, but because i'm scared my partner will abandon me like my first boyfriend or die on me like my dad.
not even sure what to do at this point. everything else in my life --- e.g., my career, my platonic friendships, family, school, etc. --- are doing fine. i just can't seem to get a grip on this part of my life and it's driving me crazy.
has anyone (especially any women) gone through this? is anyone on the other side?
fuck that guy. will probably delete later, just need to vent.
my (22f) long-distance ex-boyfriend (23m) of two months broke no contact. someone signed up for a bunch of spam texts (scientology, the military, the like), and he accused me of doing it to him by sending me a bunch of screenshots and saying i should "have more decorum." i understand why he would think i did, but i genuinely didn't. i responded in a snippy way (essentially saying that i didn't do it, it wasn't my problem, and that it is sad that he would accuse me of this with no proof), and i know i am in the right. he left me on read and that was the end of that.
however, him re-contacting me brought up a bunch of bad feelings associated with the breakup. he dumped me in a really horrible way (blindsided, three-minute phone call, hung up on me when i started crying, two days before an important midterm, followed by an awful "apology" over text riddled with typos). since he broke no-contact, i've been swinging violently between "i deserve better than this loser" + going on with my life and "he's going to tell everyone i was this crazy ex who was petty enough to do this even though i never did anything to him despite everything he put me through" + getting really indignant. i'm constantly fighting the urge to angrily text him, defend myself, get even --- just something, anything because this accusation has triggered the "fight" of my fight-or-flight instinct. i was doing well after the break-up (all things considered), and it really feels like he came in and erased all my progress.
it is so unfair that he ruined my first-ever relationship and then gets to play the victim.
edit: i also blocked him after that fiasco, but im just mad and ranting now
