It takes me multiple days to fully shave my legs…

I have depression so stuff I need gets pushed to the back burner, much less something thats not necessary, like shaving. The problem is, I’m so damn hairy that if I don’t keep up with it, the next time I shave its hell. I use hair removal cream, shave, and then shave again the next day. It literally takes me 2-3 showers to get it all done cause I end up getting so tired from it.

I guess the plus side is that in the winter all the hair keeps me warm and insulated lol

What to eat while having dental pain?

I’ve had messed up wisdom teeth for a while. Obviously I want to get them out but haven’t been able to yet. But only this past week, every single time I eat, it leads to pain. It sometimes lessens the pain when I use mouthwash. Is there any options of what to eat that will bother my mouth the least, or is that wishful thinking? For context, I don’t think a food being hard is the whole problem because a drink triggered it as well.

(Also any other advice on managing the pain will be gladly accepted)

The way people talk online makes my social anxiety worse irl

ppl will get online and be like ‘today a customer ASKED ME A QUESTION, what a fucking dumb idiot i hate them’ and its not even a crazy question and then it makes my social anxiety even worse that i might come across someone who thinks like that.

I’m going to a college graduation soon and I have no idea what to wear. I haven’t been to a graduation since I was a kid. I don’t wear skirts or dresses. I don’t need to be very fancy, but I still want to look nice. I’m 21 if that matters and I dress more masc most the time. Lmao I wish it was winter cause it’s so easy for a sweater to look nice.

Had no idea how to word the title but here goes. I'm 21 now. I was homeschooled K-12. I didn't really have much interaction with anyone who wasn't a relative for a lot of my life. The church I went to only had 2 families, who were also homeschoolers, so I had like one or two girls I would talk to sometimes. But generally, I never really had friends or even the opportunity to have any.

My problem now, I have some suspicions that I might be autistic. But I have no idea if I'm totally off base, and my social struggles are just because of my upbringing. I have other reasons for suspecting it (sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, etc), but social is the biggest. What makes me think it is something more than just my childhood is that I have 7 siblings who were all raised the exact same way as me. And none of them seem to have any trouble making friends when given the opportunity.

I'm now in college, and I've made 0 friends, even though I'm a junior now. My whole life, I was looking forward to college because I thought I'd finally have the opportunity to make friends. I'm just heartbroken now. To me, it feels like everyone was born with these social rules ingrained in them, except for me.
