Everyone has to find their own way, I’m afraid. The goal is making sure the ways you deal with it are healthy. I suggest talking to a healthcare provider if possible. Otherwise, positive distractions are helpful. I read articles online about managing stress and anxiety, I talk to friends about how I’m feeling, and I try to get enough sleep (that’s a big one for me). Assess yourself regularly and make lifestyle changes as needed. This is not a cure. There is no cure. Stress is a part of life. We just have to do the best we can to inform ourselves, remain self-aware, and make good decisions that will help us in facing it. Take care.
I’m struggling, dear. My health is declining, my country is participating in fascism, I’m penniless and in terrible pain, and I really don’t know what’s next. But I’m still here and trying.How are you?
Right lol it was a complete accident. Idk if you have experience wearing them but sometimes they just show a little over your pants and you don't really realize it
I’m sure it happens. No biggie. I would simply ignore it. 👍🏼
Well no, I mean actually I was the guy wearing it in the situation
That’s fine. It’s not like you were walking around flashing anyone or otherwise doing anything illegal. They should have minded their own business. I’m sorry their childish behavior bothered you.
Something like that actually did happen to me before though
I’m sorry you were distressed by the situation. It’s really nobody’s business what someone is wearing unless it’s illegal and intervention of authorities is needed. I saw someone shopping the other day in what appeared to be a stripper outfit. It caught me by surprise but I simply walked by and left her alone. Another day, an older woman was trying on shirts in the women’s clothing section of the store. I didn’t say anything to her either, and nobody was affected. The best thing someone can do is look the other way and carry on with their day. Bodies just aren’t that big of a deal. I wish people would mind their own business.
I mean like what if he wasn't really paying attention to what was going on and just minding his business. Like would you let him know his panties were showing? Or just say something nice as a heads up to save him some further embarrassment
I would say nothing. People just need to mind their own business. You only assume he’s embarrassed because you are, but that’s not likely to be the case. Stop looking and leave him alone. That’s my advice.
Do you have any acquaintances who suffer from bad luck and with whom you don't want to communicate because of this? Share some stories.
No. If anything, I’m the friend with bad luck. If someone doesn’t want to know me because of that, screw them. I deserve better.I’m not superstitious, and I don’t discriminate against people unless they deserve it (bigots and abusers, mostly).
I would leave him alone unless he looked like he needed a response from me. If he’s trying to ignore the commotion, it’s a clear sign that he just wants to left alone. If he acknowledges or confronts the group, I would definitely speak up. I have defended strangers before. It wasn’t an LGBT situation, but I will definitely call out a bully or reach out to someone who needs to feel safe.
What if you had noticed one of your friends laughing and taking a picture of him?
I would get mad at the friend and tell them to stop. We would definitely have words. Most likely, I would leave if possible, and not continue the friendship. Scenarios like this are why I try to travel to get-togethers alone. So I can leave if someone’s a jerk.
How would you react if you were hanging out with a few friends in public and saw that a guy sitting in front of you had a pink Victoria's Secret thong showing out of the top of his pants?
I truly could not care less. Leave them alone and let them live!
People have complimented my facial complexion a lot. I used to have even skin with no blemishes. Not so much anymore! Gone are the days of being compared to a porcelain doll. Now I’m just old and itchy! 😬
My nieces, but they’re little kids, you know. I don’t take their moods personally.Adults are more complicated. I think everyone lets everyone down at some point. We form expectations that we shouldn’t have, or we didn’t follow through on a plan, or I could go on and on. I don’t have anyone in my life who has never disappointed me. I’ve disappointed people too. We are all human.
