Anyone who has this pair of shoes, how is the paint holding up?

Anyone who has this pair of shoes, how is the paint holding up?

I've just discovered that the paint on the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Silver variation flakes pretty easily, so I was wondering if it's any better for the Mexico 66 SD Metallic or is it the same?

I haven't found much on them on the internet though, so any insight would be appreciated!

I've lost count on how many sunscreens I've tried, this is the only one that doesn't make my skin angry (I have a highly reactive sensitive acne prone skin). The only downside is how it sits under my makeup :/

This a chemical sunscreen, mineral sunscreen unfortunately clog my pores.
This sunscreen DOESN'T contain anything that breaks me out such as:

- Alcohol
- Titanium Dioxide
- Butylene Glycol
- Squalane
- Cetearyl alcohol
- Comedogenic ingredients, miraculously there aren't even the ones rated 1/5
- Fragrance
(It contains an oil, but it's actually non comedogenic and hydrating 😭)

PS Please don't recommend me korean sunscreens, something they put in their chemical sunscreens triggers my skin.

We had been friends since high school, but as I grew older I started to notice how toxic our friendship was and only now I've come to realise he was probably an undiagnosed narcissist.

He had a pattern: if something went wrong (most of the time by his own doings), he would ask for my opinion, I'd be honest with him, he'd then have an extreme emotional outburst, blaming me for what happened and proceed to play the victim. I'd always try to calm him down from spiralling even further, he'd then calm down, ghost me for a bit and apologise by saying "you know how I am" and the cycle would repeat itself every single time. He knew he had emotional dysregulation, but also affirmed that he didn't need therapy...

After breaking up with my ex, I finally became aware of how an apology without a promise to change is just a waste of time. The tipping point happened exactly after this realisation.

He was working part time at a McDonalds for about 2 months, while studying for his engineering degree. It was the third part time job he got after high school and as per usual it was a complete shit show, he never ever learned from his past mistakes. He messaged me one day telling me how stressed out he was and how much he wanted to quit. So for his wellbeing, I advised to just quit, but he was reluctant to quit. If he did quit before his contract expired he wouldn't have gotten his last salary...His contract was due to expire in just over a month, thus I suggested to wait it out, but he didn't want to wait because he was too tired to continue. Well, at that point I proposed "what if you do something to get fired?". That was the wrong thing to say, he immediately got mad at me and said "how could you even suggest such a thing, you should know me better, do you see me as a lowlife that disrespect a company that gives me the opportunity to broaden my horizons?!?". My guy you're working part time at a McDonalds, what horizons?😭 At that moment I just replied "sorry, I don't quite understand what's happening and what you need" and that pissed him off even more, told me that I don't understand shit and that I should just know what he wants to hear, but instead I was stressing him out even more. Then he started to spiral, describing himself as a failure since he couldn't keep a job, how his manager probably hates him (he asked her how to quit 😭😭 Who even asks their boss how to resign??) and etc. I tried to calm him down, however it backfired. He insulted me some more and then ghosted me for a couple of hours just to come back with the same old "sorry you know how I am, I get emotional 🥺👉👈".

I don't know what I was expecting, but I tried to explain how I won't be accepting half assed apology anymore and that he should really be working on his emotional management...Welp, that didn't go over well, he was furious, said things that hurt a lot, I've never told him how sometimes during his outbursts I'd be crying while trying to calm him down...I decided in that moment that I've had enough and the only thing he said was "you want to end things just because of this little argument??". Blocked him and never looked back.

Edit: He unfortunately lost a lot of friends over the years because of his antics, like never holding himself to the same standards he holds others, his God complex or just simply him being inconsistent. I think I was emotionally checked out for a couple of years already, but I still wanted to be there for him, I was hopeful that he would eventually change.
