My skin is healthy, no often breakouts anymore. Once in a blue moon get a pimple or two, that too cuz of pre period cycle. The only problem i see is the post acne marks, they are a lil faded, but to me its a lil noticeable, like few black marks over clear skin.

My skincare is nothing fancy, i just got my first ever night serum, OneSkin Salycylic acid 2 weeks ago, 3 times a week at night. And in day time i usually start routine with gentle cleanser and The Ordinary Niacinamide (irregularly using for 2 months)

Is there anything i should add to my diet to get rid of it or smth that i can apply directly on my face?

I dont know what to do anymore

Last night i fell asleep around 5 a.m. Before sleeping, I ordered food because I hadn't eaten. The restaurant accidentally printed the wrong amount on the receipt it said 5k even though my order was actually around 2k but i wasnt bothered cuz i paid for what i ordered and i had e-slip

(Js for the context im someone who earns 6 figures and i get 10k a month from my mom and she takes rest of the salary)

While I was asleep, my mother searched my room, found the receipt, and assumed I had spent 5k

She came into my room while I was sleeping, grabbed me by my hair, violently shook my head to wake me up, and shoved the receipt in my face while screaming at me. She threatened me, saying that by the time she came back from work I should disappear unke office se wapis anay se pehle,otherwise "mujhse bura koi nahi hoga"

Also she kinda assumed that it was sent by my bf (he usually send me food when my mum boycott cooking for me or feeding me)

I was exhausted, i woke up showed her the e-slip while she was ij other room and came back into my room and tried to go back to sleep because I had a bad night. Later she came back into my room with what I think was a book or a thick piece of cardboard idk my head was in the sheet that i wear and she repeatedly slammed it onto my head while I was lying in bed. I was so terrified that I wet myself in my bed and just helped myself and got changed (ik embarassing)

I don't feel safe in here anymore. I'm genuinely afraid to sleep because I think she might attack me again.

I don't have anywhere to go. I'm 17, I don't have relatives I can stay with, and I feel completely trapped. I'm in karachi, so I also don't know what resources even exist for someone in my situation.

I'm not looking to get revenge on my mom. I just want to be safe

What can I realistically do? I really need advice because i'm scared so much right now

But i feel like hypermodesty is a form of oversexualization disguised as religious devotion. I SAID WHAT I SAID

Hypermodesty isn't the flex ppl think it is. Across every religion and culture, these ppl become so obsessed w covering bodies that they end up treating every inch of the human body as just smth SEXUAL. And that's def not escaping oversexualization it's just oversexualization in a different font

When someone's worth is constantly measured by how much of their body is covered, they're still being reduced to their body. That's not MODESTY!!!

P.S: ik this is gonna offend a lot of ppl but it is what it is

I (17f) had a bad day at work. I'd like to talk to someone my age maybe.

Creeps no creeping pls

Hey, so I've been talking to this guy. Things have been going really well, and he even introduced me to his mum and sister as a friend. But today he told his mum that he likes me.

Later, he told me that his mum's response was that I'm "not from a khandaani family" because my parents are divorced, and that I'm too dark-skinned. I was not exactly hurt, i found that a bit funny. Cuz i've never been dark my whole life and i have wheatish skin tone. And abt the khandaani family thing, im always ready to hear stuff from people about that. But i expect ppl to point it out doesn't mean it's smth normal to say.

The thing is, I don't know how to process all of this. I mean, should i feel sad? But the baddie in me is not letting me get upset about it. I was genuinely excited to hear them say smth good about me. I have a good job, i score straight As, im pretty from head to toe (undoubtedly 💅🏻).

Now idk if I should even ask him how he responded to his mum, because I already reacted emotionally and like showed him that it's offensive and now I feel like he might just tell me what I want to hear

I'm 17F, and I feel like I'm picking up toxic traits from the environment I grew up in

My parents are separated, I don't have a relationship with my dad, and I've struggled with a lot of "daddy issues" because of it. I live with my mom, but our relationship isn't good either. There's a lot of emotional abuse at home, and weekends are honestly the hardest because it's her day off and we end up fighting or she makes being at home really stressful.

I don't really have anyone I can talk to about this. No one I feel safe opening up to.

Lately I've noticed things about myself that I don't like. I overthink, get defensive, have trust issues, seek reassurance, and sometimes react in ways that aren't healthy. I hate feeling like I'm becoming the kind of person I grew up around.

For people who came from abusive or dysfunctional families, how did you unlearn those behaviors? How do you stop letting your childhood shape the way you treat yourself and other people?

I genuinely want to become a healthier person before these traits become permanent. Any advice or personal experiences would really mean a lot. I did my own research too but it always says i cannot heal in the same environment i got wounds from???

I'm independent btw and working remotely since grade 9th. Make 6 figures (alhamdullilah) but my mum give me 8k rupees from that. Cuz the entire salary is credited in her account since i'm not 18 yet. So it's like i can't save or anything.

I don't wanna be a cruel and evil person, it's my biggest fear. I'm super worried rn and maybe overthinking too lol

I'm (17 F), will be 18 in 2 months. There's this army guy (21 M) who's js too good to be true, there can be 2 possibilities, either he's too good at pretending or he's really that sweet. He sent me req on a random day, and i've never accept unknown request but a part in me was curious so i added him. Fast forward we started talking, we're talking for 2 weeks now and this guy is emotionally v v supportive. I mean, maybe i'm exaggerating cuz ik i've never been emotionally validated by anyone, not my parents or anyone. I'm v doubtful cuz firstly he's a stranger, not someone i know personally, but he talks v openly, told me lots of his life stories and all. Also coming from a cadet background, i, myself am very interested in his life stories. He listens to me, like actually listens, he notices that i speak a lot that i get short on breath 😭 he'd calm me down and ask me to slow down and reassure that he's listening.

Again again, ik im emotionally unstable and maybe he's figured it out and he's a predator? Or maybe im overanalyzing and exaggerating the whole thing.

I had a terrible first relationship w a potty face guy who dumped me 6 times (trust me he had nothing but i was js overly obsessed). So now i'm scared of my decisions, cuz even in my past relationship, everyone could tell how im getting used poorly and i couldn't see it cuz i had my rose tinted shades on.

Now i need y'all honest honest opinion, you're open to judge me

Let's talk? Feeling a lil too off today

Hey ppl, i need help with some vitamins or maybe diet for my skincolor. I have naturally fair skin tone but for the past 2-3 years i started having stubborn tan. Now even my belly is getting tan, brown which is weird cuz it has never been in direct contact with sun.

It's really concerning, cuz it doesn't look healthy tan, tho im very ok with suntan and im not very skincolor concious but i really need some vitamins now. Any suggestions?

I think maturing is realizing that you DO NOT have to tell your parents everything.

I'm a 17 F, someone who never ever did anything against my parent's, especially my mother's will. Never lied, always told her my secrets, openly talked to her either it's about my ex boyfriend or any of my friend's secre

Told her everything and end up getting used the information against me or i getting too many restrictions

I used to feel weird about kids who lie to their parents, go out on dates, party and what now but now it all makes sense to me

Parents are not bestfriends, they never were, And they ARE NOT supposed to be. I feel it was a trap all along

Now i feel bad, cuz i started lying and planning to sneak out aswell but idc atp. My mother feel attacked all the time when we talk, she thinks the kids my age who go out have s*x, vape, smoke, fail, doesn't earn are still better than me in some way. And im someone who even got her first phone with her own 3rd salary cuz i gave my entire first 2 salaries for house rent and bills

And i figured, those kids are living 100x better than me, who lie, go out, doesnt earn and still have the audacity to be stubborn to demand an iphone from their parents

Meanwhile, i'm someone who has to beg for 50rs of crackers, cuz i simply dont steal money from parents? and i dont even get any pocket money eithe

People who doesnt play the good kid act are far happier than me and living the life! And so should i cuz im doing everything to deserve that

At last i'd say

GOOD KIDS GO TO HEAVEN, BAD KIDS GO EVERYWHWRE
