Meest beschamende wat me ooit op vakantie is overkomen

Ik heb gisteren echt iets extreem schaamtelijks meegemaakt.

Ben met het gezin op vakantie aan de Costa Brava zoals elk jaar. Gisteren in L’Escala bij zo’n Afrikaanse kerel op een kleedje een Lacoste zwembroek gekocht. Na wat afdingen voor een tientje, prima dacht ik.

Diezelfde middag ermee het zwembad in. Tot m’n vrouw me ineens lichtelijk in paniek riep. Ik kijk naar beneden en ik had gewoon bijna geen zwembroek meer aan. Dat ding was letterlijk aan het verteren in het water. De stof leek gewoon op te lossen waar ik bij stond.

Ik wist niet hoe snel ik dat zwembad uit moest komen. Stond echt gigantisch voor lul. 😂
Dat het geen echte Lacoste was wist ik voor een tientje ook wel, maar dat je er niet eens mee kan zwemmen had ik niet verwacht. Volgende keer maar langs de decathlon haha

I hate my body. Is it still possible to turn things around at 27?

27M, Hey everyone,
I started going to the gym a few months ago, currently around 2–3 times a week. I’m also trying to eat more protein, but as you can probably see, my body still needs a lot 0f work.

I used to be very overweight and lost a significant amount of weight years ago , but I did it without any strength training. Now I want to approach things properly and hopefully build a healthier, fitter-looking body.

Is it still possible to make a big change from where I am now? And if so, what would you recommend? Should I go to the gym more than 2–3 times a week? Should I focus heavily on protein? Should I cut and lose more fat first, or would it be better to maintain my weight and focus on building muscle?

I honestly just need some guidance because I really hate how my body looks right now. With clothes on I can hide it pretty well, but without clothes I feel extremely insecure about it.
Realistically, how long could it take before I start looking noticeably fitter if I stay consistent?
Any advice, especially from people who have been in a similar situation, would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

M27 Constantly comparing myself to my best friend. M26 Has anyone dealt with this?

I (M 27) have a really good friend (M 26) that I’ve been close with for years, but lately I’ve noticed something about myself that I’m not happy with.
It feels like I’ve developed this weird sense of FOMO or competitiveness toward him. For example, if I skip the gym for a day but he goes, I immediately think, *“Shit, I’m falling behind. I need to go too.”* We both make music, and whenever he releases a new track, my first thought is, *“Fuck, I need to work harder.”*
On paper, that sounds like a great source of motivation. But honestly, it doesn’t feel healthy. It feels like I’m constantly trying not to fall behind instead of just focusing on my own journey.
I know this is entirely on me, he’s not doing anything wrong. I just want to get back to being myself and stop measuring my progress against someone else’s.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? If so, how did you deal with it?
Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Halverwege naar Spanje… en nu denk ik dat mijn strijkijzer nog aanstaat 😅

Ik ben momenteel onderweg naar Spanje en zit nu ergens bij Parijs even wat te eten. Totdat ik ineens dacht: heb ik mijn strijkijzer wel uit het stopcontact gehaald?

Sindsdien zit ik er behoorlijk mee in mijn hoofd. Normaal controleer ik dit soort dingen altijd, maar vanochtend was het vroeg en nu weet ik het gewoon niet meer zeker. kutzooi

Het lastige is dat niemand een sleutel van mijn huis heeft. Ik heb ook geen contactgegevens van de buren en even iemand laten kijken is dus geen optie.

Nu zit ik hier bij een wegrestaurant terwijl ik allerlei rampscenario’s bedenk. 😅 Zijn er meer mensen die dit hebben meegemaakt tijdens een vakantie? Wat zouden jullie doen? kan even niets verzinnen

Pain 2 days after re-opening my nostril piercing. Is this normal?

Hi everyone,

I got a nostril piercing back in 2022. Last month I took it out, but I decided I wanted it back. Yesterday I had it reinserted. The hole wasn’t completely closed, so my piercer used a taper to reopen it instead of doing a fresh piercing.

The first day everything seemed fine. I’ve been cleaning it with a sterile saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride).

However, now on the second day, especially since this evening, it’s become quite painful. There’s not much visible going on, no major redness or discharge, but my nose feels very sore and bruised, and it seems a little swollen. The pain is definitely more than I expected. i have a diamond stut btw.

What should I do? Is it possible that the jewelry is too tight and putting pressure on the tissue? Or is this a normal reaction after tapering an old piercing open again?

Thanks in advance for any advice ❤️
