22f Completely new to this, and what do guys want to hear during sexting? Are brief reactions enough or should it be like descriptive?

I started mentalist like a few weeks ago, and Im watching season six right now. And I hate spoilers 😭 But while I was on season four, I had this immense curiosity to look up the cast of mentalist and that was a dumb decision. And lucky for me, one of the first row characters on google was RED JOHN!!!! I accidentally saw a man in that and I frozeee, didn’t look more than one second and closed the tab!!! if you ask me if I saw him completely, then I might say no because I just saw him for like one second, so I had a basic picture of him in my mind Sooo after that whenever I was seeing any suspects i was devastated like knew that is not our guyyy. I was so scared that this would spoil the fun for me. But in the end Somehow the reveal was greattt and I did not expect it, and it was fun. I liked it !

Ps: if you are here for the spoilers and you are a first time watcher, then trust me 💯 percent, watch alllll seasons dont leave in between…. Im hoooked

I don’t have a lot of arm or leg hair, but it’s still noticeable. I’ve never really been into shaving not because I have anything against people who do, but because it’s just not worth the time and effort for me.
I also have sensitive skin, and the prickly feeling when the hair starts growing back is so uncomfortable. In my class, I feel like I’m the only girl who doesn’t shave her arms or legs. Honestly, I’ve never felt weird about it unless someone points it out.
Most people don’t even notice, but every now and then someone will ask, “Oh, you don’t shave your hair?” Usually I just say, “Yeah, I don’t.” That’s it.

I really admire people who enjoy shaving or keeping up with that routine, but for me it’s just not my cup of tea. It takes a lot of time and maintenance, and I’m simply not interested in making that investment. I don’t think body hair is something I need to remove to feel comfortable or confident.

I’ve been tolerating pain from such a young age that it has become normal for me. Not having pain isn’t something I really know anymore.
Ever since I was little, I was always getting sick. Every week, I was going to hospitals, getting admitted, getting injections one after another. Different kinds of illnesses, different kinds of pain.

I have always had a weak body, but physically I look very healthy, so people naturally assume that I’m healthy and okay.

It’s been six years since I was diagnosed with a bulging disc. Because of the fucked up course I chose in college, I never had the time to get proper treatment.

Now, after years of continuous pain, the disc issue has spread from my lower back to my neck. Along with that, I’ve now been diagnosed with arthritis and TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder). Yawning hurts. Chewing hurts. Biting hurts. Because of the arthritis, even holding a pencil is painful, and I’m an artist. Walking hurts. Sitting hurts. Everything just hurts so much.
On top of all this, I also deal with migraines and frequent headaches.
Nobody seems to understand it.
My academics have been incredibly difficult because of all this. Somehow, I always manage to pull through at the end and produce decent work, so people assume I’m exaggerating whenever I say I’m struggling.
Even today, my final thesis jury is coming up, and I haven’t done much. I’ve been trying to sit and work since morning. It’s 11 pm now, and I still haven’t been able to get much done because sitting for even five minutes hurts. Every time I sit down, the pain kicks in, so I lie down for a while, hoping I’ll get back to work. The cycle just keeps repeating.
Whenever I tell my friends, they say, “But you’ll come up with something in the end.”
Maybe I will.
I hope I do.
But that doesn’t erase what I’m going through to get there.
Even my close friends, don’t understand that i don’t want solutions. I don’t want people telling me what I should or shouldn’t do.
I just want someone to witness my pain.
Just because I’m functioning, just because I somehow manage to do well in the end, doesn’t mean the pain isn’t real.
I just wanted to vent….

I’m a final-year architecture student and I’m about to graduate.
Academically, I’m doing okay. I pass my juries and usually end up producing decent work in the end. The problem is that the process itself is extremely stressful for me.
Every design submission feels like a crisis. I spend days worrying, overthinking, and feeling overwhelmed. Even though things somehow work out eventually, I don’t enjoy constantly being under pressure.
I’m not lazy, and I don’t hate architecture itself. I actually enjoy ideas related to ecology, landscape, cultural spaces, and context-sensitive design. But I honestly cannot imagine living with this level of stress every day for the next 30–40 years.
I have no idea what I should do next. Should I continue in this career? Did anyone else feel this way in architecture school but end up enjoying practice more? Are there certain sectors or countries where architects have better work-life balance? If you were in my position, would you continue in architecture or pivot into something adjacent?

I’m a final year architecture student from India and I’m about to graduate.

My priorities are:
Work-life balance.
A reasonable salary (architecture salaries in India are quite low).
Less toxic work culture.
A career where I can still enjoy life outside work.
So I’m wondering:
Did anyone else feel this way in architecture school but end up enjoying practice more?
Are there certain sectors or countries where architects have better work-life balance?
If you were in my position, would you continue in architecture or pivot into something adjacent?
I’d especially love to hear from people who have been practicing for several years.

Please answer this, this is a genuine doubt… I really want to know the perspective of people who have affairs…. like if you are someone who is married, and having an affair right now, can you please explain the reason behind it?
Is it because you’re unhappy in your marriage or is it because you’re not getting what you need from the marriage, and if that’s the case, then why are you not discussing that with your spouse or have you discussed it already and not worked out?
Is it because you crave constant attention, validation or do you like being desired by all people?
It has always been a question of mine. No offence to anyone. I just want to know the perspective.

I was kind of dating this guy(27M).. more like a situationship.. i don’t think I fell out of love all at once. I think I slowly lost respect for the version of him I had built in my head.
When I first liked him, I saw someone confident, intelligent, funny, and emotionally secure. I overlooked a lot of things because I was infatuated. Things that bothered me felt small compared to how much I liked him.
But over time, it took a long long time, the infatuation faded and I started seeing him more clearly. I noticed how often he dismissed things that mattered to me. I noticed how quickly he labeled people as “too sensitive” when they were hurt by something. I noticed that when I disagreed with him, conversations often became about proving he was right rather than understanding why I felt the way I did. There were times I felt like he enjoyed being correct more than being kind.
And once I started noticing it, I couldn’t unsee it. The strange thing is that he didn’t suddenly become a bad person. He was the same person he had always been. The difference was that I was no longer looking at him through the eyes of someone desperately trying to love him. I was finally seeing him as he was.
Any similar experiences?

Im 25/f and was dating this guy 29/M. Even though I have been with men, I’ve never been a fully sexual relationship with them, but he has been with a lot of women, and while we were discussing about our preferences, he told me that he cannot cum with the condom on. He told me they usually have sex with the condom first and when the girl reaches her orgasm, he removes the condom and then they do it till he’s done. Then I was like what’s the whole point of having a condom on the first place. Then I got to know that It’s not a lonely experience. There are other people who have the same condition.
Can any guys explain this to me?
