I am just wondering if it’s worth putting in the money and if it will help getting my foot in the door with TV/Film.

Hey! I’m wondering if SHEIN is reliable for shoes or is Temu better? I’m hesitant on getting pointed toe shoes again because they didn’t last very long from Temu, but I assume rounded or square would do better. Are pointed shoes better on SHEIN? please let me know your thoughts!

I (26F) feel like my enemies are prospering and I am not. I feel terribly lonely all the time even around others, though it helps a little. Men never even look at me, I’m never hit on, and ive embarrassingly failed at approaching men. I’m so tired of feeling ugly. Masturbating makes me feel good and bad simultaneously (I don’t watch porn). I’m just struggling and I’m sick and tired of the “advice” I didn’t ask for about being happy single. I have enjoyed and do enjoy my singleness(trying new things, enjoying my hobbies, no responsibility for another person), but I’d like to know it’s more by choice than circumstances and that I have SOME prospects in which case I have none (I’d like to go on a date here and there. I’m nlt trying to rush a relationship or marriage)the people who love to say this are always in a relationship or have no problem getting men. Like go away.

anyway, I’ve been raw with God about things and I’m just tied. when will things change? does he hear me specifically? is he getting vengeance on my enemies? smh. I’m tired of hoping to hear something in the silence or when I’m reading the Bible and I’m not getting any answers. Maybe I’m blind idk. I’m just really down and can’t shake it.

idk why no one wants me, not even God wants to talk to me lol, idk why my personal and career goals aren’t working. I’m scared of getting yet another financial setback. I’ve had several in the last ten months alone and.. idk.

I don’t think I’ll ever find a man who is attracted to me one way or the other. I’m probably just going to sleep around at this point and remain alone. I’m already exhausted of putting myself out there. No one seems to like me enough for a respected relationship or most just aren’t attracted to me, so I just end up getting used or rejected either way.

I decided actually to have sex with my friend (31M) soon . we’ve always been attracted to each other but he has never wanted a relationship with anyone as far as I know, and I never wanted to take it that far until recently. he’s probably going to end up finding the one who ‘changes’ him or the one he wants to be in a committed relationship with soon. I just don’t understand why I’m never good enough.

i personally think I’m attractive and amazing *hair flip* lol but finding someone who appreciates me is difficult. my own family doesn’t even care what i have to say half the time or what I do to help out. They consistently mock me and make everything into a joke. not all the time, of course, but enough to b e bothersome. I love my fam and they’re cool, im js.. I get belittled and infantilized at work sometimes.. I’m just tired.

I’m just feeling pretty low over something that is kind of trivial?? but it feels heavy, especially with all of the setbacks I’ve been having this year and last year.. But that’s how I feel right now.

I already have so many things in my life that I can’t control and at least I can escape from it through sex I guess. I just want to be wanted and no one wants me.

TL;DR: feeling discouraged about dating and other areas of my life that I cannot change. Ik it’s probably trivial but it’s really weighing on me. I’m considering sleeping with my male friend (31M).

I don’t watch porn, but I do masturbate sometimes and I’m not sure how that is supposed to negatively affect me. I was watching this Faith Talks video on YouTube about how dangerous it is to solve the issue ourselves when our needs go unmet and how we should take that to God, but the only example she used was Esau and Jacob. I’m looking for modern examples of how … I guess it would be going outside God’s will.. affects us?

for added context, how is it going to affect me in my relationships and be doubly worse, as she said, if I masturbate, than if I didn’t? Just trying to understand.

She also mentioned something like How is God going to bless us if we are holding on to things and taking up that space.. not verbatim but hopefully you understand what I mean.

I normally don’t get approached and I’m not sure why. I do way better with the apps, but I feel like most people on there are not picky. Men, do you like being approached by women? What are some reasons you might not approach?

My friends always get approached right in front of me. I could just be ugly. I get compliments frequently, but they are always from other women. On the rare occasion they are not, they are from creepy older men.
