Because of the internet I got into ideologies like these quite young and ended up being much more impressionable than I thought I was. I keep on thinking weird bp related thoughts when I go outside and it’s exhausting having my brain go a mile a minute just analyzing other people. I’m getting worried that it’ll become ingrained in my head, and need advice on what to do.
I need help with changing my world view. Im quite young and got into ideologies like these through the internet and it’s causing me to be constantly thinking weird thoughts everywhere I go. I’ve tried actively trying to cancel out things when I think them but it feels as though even giving it the time of day is causing it to stick even further. Is the solution just having conversations with regular people? I’ve been on break so I haven’t really been around strangers very much. I’m willing to try .
For context I’m 16 and in high school and definitely have crushed on some girls that I’ve met in school and was friends with. However, every time I see someone talking about this online, people mention getting put in the “friendzone” early on or guy friends “ruining my the friendship” by bringing their feelings to light. I also see people say that you decide whether or not you would be romantically or sexually into someone in the first couple of interactions you have with them, which would definitely not fit the timeframe I was thinking of for something like this. People my age are also starting to approach women more intentionally than before, which is starting to make me think that my approach to love (kind of the friends to more thing that happens in movies) is becoming unrealistic. Do women fall for their friends less often than guys or does it just take more for them to do so? And am I supposed to be in a friendship considering the possibility that we could date or is that unhealthy?
These are knots in my hair right? This happens whether or not I detangle, as I detangle every other day. I was wondering if it’s because of bedhead, because when I wake up the hair is very compressed and is possible knotting together. I was also wondering if it could be caused by prior years of poor hair care, such as not protecting it when I slept and not using shampoo regularly. Please let me know what I can do.
I have been trying to grow out my hair for one month now and after taking out many knots that had been present, my hair has not grown very much at all. How do I fully optimize hair growth in 4c hair (I bought hair oils but have heard that they end up clogging the pores anyways so maybe that is it) and I can add a photo if necessary
