u/Shopkins_lover

I was 5 years old when I first had a salt and vinegar chip.
I was on a field trip, unaware my life would forever change.
My tastebuds couldn’t even handle them. I’d have to lick them for a bit before eating the chip. And after that trip they were all I wanted. They were and still are glorious .
as time went on my tastebuds adjusted, my love for them never diminished but I have grown too
desensitized. They used to clear my sinuses!

You see, they’re just not strong enough at all. I need the strongest one I can get my hands on. The best used to be the Stax version of them. I cried when I learned they were discontinued. Cried for days.

These chips are my life. Cape cod brand is mid, heb brand is great but not enough it’s just not ENOUGH, the Pringles ones are fine, lays are bland, I need something that’ll have me regretting it after I inevitably devour the family sized bag in a five minute sitting.

But, I also need accessible chips. I can’t just order them off Amazon or a random site. I need chips that can be there for me.

Please, chip enthusiasts , help me 💔

I’m 19 and a woman. I grew up with a hateful awful father, I’ve known many men to be cruel and gross. Through social media I’ve discovered how men seem to think of women. How we’re just here to be used , how they want us to suffer, how we’re apparently inferior.

I guess I just don’t know what to do or how to view anything anymore.
As a woman and an adult I am into certain sexual kinks. I used to believe as long as everyone consented and it wasn’t truly harmful to anyone it was okay. But now I have to wonder if what I’m into is from conditioning of society?
Or how I can’t leave my house without makeup on without feeling bad.
How if I dress up fancy or good then it bothers people because I’m overdressed but if I don’t I’m underdressed.

How I used to never want kids and one day I changed my mind which I think is fine but family loves to harp on it. Thinks it’s funny to say stuff like “we always knew you’d change your mind”. How no matter what I do as a woman it’s WRONG.

How pedophilia is a part of the beauty standard and how I hate it but can’t figure out if I’m a part of the problem too?

Or how when I was 17 in New York one time, a man said something disgusting to me while I was with two other adults. I made a small face and he followed us saying he would r@pe us and do these things until a security guard helped us. And even if I had a g*n it would be illegal to show it off as a threat in that case. I can’t even protect myself.

Why do men think they’re better? What do I do? Even women are part of the problem sometimes but I just don’t know what to do with myself anymore.

I could go on my whole life about this and different instances about how it’s just not fair. And I’m sure this may get taken down because it’s vague but also over specific. But as a woman, I’m struggling, and I don’t know where to go or what to do about it.

Hi!
I have mystery lots of different sizes , themed lots, fuzzy baby lots, glittery lots, knock off Shopkins , season one lots all on my vinted page!
If you want a custom size or have any questions comment or message me on Vinted at clairec9898 !

I’ve never ordered from aliexpress and about a week ago I put in an order for smth with a good amount of good reviews and then a few low star ones. It all looked normal. I got an email from the website saying it was in my country now but when I click to track status it makes me sign in but it won’t actually let me sign in? Finally, after like a thousand attempts I did and it said no orders. Like ……

What do I do…?

I downloaded Vinted a month ago. The first week I made seven sales , all the same product. I figured it was just luck or the algorithm pushing my stuff since I was new.
After that week I didn’t make any more sales.

I update photos frequently, use thorough descriptions , all my listings are in good condition, I switched up the way I had some of my listings posted, I use good lighting, I have 5 5 star reviews, I upload frequently!! I also paid for bumps on three items and they didn’t sell. I just keep getting really absurd lowballs (my prices are already better than most listings I’ve seen for these items!!)

My goal is to make minimum two sales a week but I see now that might be overly ambitious ): , any chance I can meet that goal? Any tips or tricks? It’s been 3 weeks since I’ve made sales! I even sent offers to some people and nothing!

Hi! I see a lot of people online who have gotten huge Shopkins lots. I’m hoping to find a lot with at least 300, let me know if any of you are interested in selling to me!

Hi! I have mystery scoops of Shopkins available on my Vinted . There’s different sizes but if anyone would like a custom size I’m open to it! I think they’re reasonably priced but feel free to send offers.

Guys I know I know, I got scammed. I cannot even believe I fell for it but I did. And I’m embarrassed. I also acknowledge it’s literally entirely my fault but also what can I do? Here’s more info

Welp I’m ashamed to admit it but on Depop I saw a listing for a toy I collect. I got excited because it was a good deal and I see people selling for a low price now and then because they’re not usually super valuable. I messaged them and they said a ton of other people were messaging them about it. Seemed real to me bc there are a lot of collectors. Well, they said they wouldn’t sell bc they’re on vacation .

I was like that’s fine! But I didn’t want to let it pass up! So me being the fool I am offered a down payment and they said that was fine . I explained I’d also be fine paying a little more so that it’d guarantee I’d get it instead of another interested buyer. They said that worked so I asked if cashapp was fine w them they said yes. (Yeah idk what’s wrong with my brain yall)

I sent the money and they said they were still waiting but had bad service since they were boarding their plane . Cool. Well that was yesterday. Opened Depop to either being blocked or they deleted it. I reported them on both platforms and I get it was my fault. I know. And I did cry for a bit because I’ve never been THIS dumb.

However,I’m admittedly furious. I’m not expecting to get my money back esp since it was clearly on me 😭. But… can I do anything besides reporting? Don’t hate on me I’m already embarrassed, just trying to see if there’s anything else I can do about it because even tho I was dumb that’s messed up of them!!

Okay guys, I get this is a huge stretch as someone who collects Shopkins. But I miss buying them in person SO badly. I have tried Facebook marketplace but nowhere in my area have I found any good deals (they’re like way overpriced and the sellers aren’t very kind??) . I’m in the San Antonio area. I’ve looked in tons of goodwills, 2nd hand stores, antique places , toy stores , vintage toy places .

Please, if anyone in this area is selling in person or knows a place that has a good chance of selling them let me know!! I’ve been looking through stores for weeeeksss!!

I just miss the hunt and finding them in a store 😔 (plus I don’t like waiting for shipping I know I know)

I have a 2015 Mazda 6, I am getting new wheels and an alignment soon . I installed new brake pads recently and two new rotors. She drives great and has no issues at the moment. As far as maintenance, I get an oil change regularly and every other oil change I use fuel injector cleaner (maybe not necessary but I do it anyways) , i rotate my tires as needed , change my own engine air filter out, just cleaned my Maf sensor and throttle body (just cuz to be honest) .
The only issue I had was needing new tires but I’m going to do that in a few days with an alignment and then once it wouldn’t start but my battery terminals were filthy so I cleaned the whole engine bay properly and she’s great.

Again, no issues really , drives beautifully, such a lovely car. I do not know a lot about cars to be honest. I’m currently learning but am a beginner . I recently heard about Italian tune ups and doing them every 300 ish miles. Is it actually beneficial? Is it worth doing ? Or is it something that isn’t really needed or necessary at all?
I looked it up but found mixed answers and opinions on it so that’s why I came to Reddit for it

The only time I redlined my car wasn’t intentional and it was to take over a lane to get past a semi. It did fine but I was always scared I could’ve caused damage by doing it.
(Also, yes I know it’s not cool to pass semis like that but I do it very rarely and I promise I make sure the other lane is 100% clear. Never at night, never on a road I can’t see far ahead of, I make sure I’ll be able to take over the semi and get ahead of it quickly I know they don’t brake the same way cars do, etc)

I (18 F) believe I have social anxiety. If I am wrong please correct me and I can take down my post if it feels irrelevant. I have tried therapy just to put that out there.
Sophomore year of high school one day I noticed I talked to a stranger very briefly. Like I had dropped my pencil, they handed it to me and I said thank you and that was it. I noticed my face felt very hot. I looked at the reflection of my phone and realized I was bright red.
I was horrified, little did I know this would become my whole life.

From that day forward, any interaction with people I wasn’t close with already would result in me having the face a color of a stop sign. Even if people glanced at me in the hall my mind would assume it was out of disgust and my face would turn red. I began seeing a therapist who told me when I noticed I was getting red to think of something random or breathe calmly. Naturally, that didn’t do anything.
Eventually, I was able to stop assuming people who merely glanced at me were thinking I was horrible or something. But since that day the red face problem has persisted.

All I want is to get past it. If someone looks at me I still get red , if I talk with someone about ANYTHING ? I get red. I tried more therapists and they said the same thing. I can no longer afford one sadly. I will be honest I don’t like when people look at me because I assume they will make this discovery that I am hideous. I didn’t grow up being bullied, nothing particularly traumatic happened to me , I don’t have friends really but that never bothered me a whole lot. But I have this fear of people seeing me. I know I just need to get over myself. No one concerns themselves that much with strangers, I know I don’t.

But despite countless therapists, research, etc, I am still in the same position where if I order food at a restaurant I turn red.

Now, this may be a bad idea but I ordered these things off tiktok. They were really cheap. It’s these small individual mini surprise packs. They have a tiny plastic mystery animal in each of them. I want to work up the courage to ask people if they’d like them. Or make small talk and offer them. I will start small, but I thought maybe this could help expose me to my fear and maybe I’ll get better.

I’m at a total loss and will try anything. I’ve heard beta blockers can help but I can’t afford all that right now. I think it may be social anxiety, if anyone here has advice at all I would deeply appreciate it.

Ok actually I did have a brief history where I was SA’d freshman year (or maybe I wasn’t even it’s complicated I don’t know) but I am not sure if it is relevant and I have told my therapists that and again not helpful. I am also unsure if I can talk about it here.

Thank you.

Hi! I’ve made a very similar post on another thread just a heads up. And I know this isn’t really about a car in specific but I do need advice.

In short, I know NOTHING about cars at all but I have this deep itch I need to scratch. I have this pull I feel towards cars. I want to know them, understand them, how they work, why they work the way they work.

The only work I’ve done is brake pad changing, brake rotor changing, oil change and cabin air filter replacement and my god it felt good 😭.

I promise my knowledge for cars is about as much as knowing they have 4 wheels. But again, I just really feel this need and want deeper than ever to learn them and work on them.

I tried out a year of college and DESPISED it , though I’ve never enjoyed school. I need to figure out a career for myself and I know I need to do more research but I was kind of thinking about mechanic? I know this is for car people but I made a post on the mechanics forum and a lot of people said it’d just make me hate it.

I can see how that’s a very very real possibility. And I will hopefully have a project car soon so I can tell if I really do love it. But just the small tasks I did felt euphoric.

If anyone in this thread is a mechanic or similar, please tell me - is it worth it? Is it really just a dead end like people were saying? I think I might really have a passion worth exploring but I’m scared of just regretting it. I know you can work on cars as a hobby but I think I want it to be my life? Idk yall maybe I’m just losing it or just hoping for someone to tell me to do it because I might anyways .

Please share your advice and your opinions it is deeply appreciated and needed
