Next steps?
Not sure if I should stop and let it heal? Are we getting anywhere? It's debrided as much as I could do right now.

Pretty much what the title says. I have 3 plantar warts I've been treating for a few weeks. I don't really feel pain if I press directly on the warts, but the surrounding area is extremely tender and painful, even when just sitting still. I've been careful to only apply the acid to the wart (some healthy skin gets caught up in it all sometimes, but not mostly) and applying Vaseline to the areas I don't want treated.
it hurts to just wear my sneakers. I've been at my desk at work in just my socks lol
I feel like im very close to the end of these warts. Is it okay to stop because of the pain? Or does the pain mean it's working?
I stopped treatment for about 2 days and the skin healed quickly and was smooth over the warts.
I posted a few pictures the other day of what they looked like before.
It was getting very raw and extremely painful so I took a break. I'm now back on it.
These pics are after soaking for about 35 minutes and debriding what I could. I've since added the sa treatment.
How are these looking? They don't hurt at all right now. Are we getting close? Is the end near?
I just put on the SA, so a little harder to see. I can take/post more pictures after I debride tomorrow. Ive been dealing with the planter warts forever 😭
I'll do my best to explain this clearly. I (26 NB) feel like I attract people who don't have much else going for them socially. I'm consistently told I'm some of my friend's "only friend" or deemed a best friend extremely quickly.
I don't see myself as overly nice or outgoing, but I am pretty polite and whenever I'm in a situation with people, I try to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy. I wouldn't say this goes as far as "people pleasing" because to me it just feels like being courteous and aware. I don't compromise my own comfort for others, but I make a point to take everyone's comfort into consideration, which I think is normal and expected in social situations.
Somehow, I always end up having a friend who expects a lot. I quickly become their best friend in the world, while I still have the life I had before meeting them, involving a circle of friends I've known since childhood. I have a lot of close friends, as well as romantic partners. (I'm single and dating casually) I love people, but I am not exactly hunting for new connections, and I don't remember the last time I was.
It feels like because I gave someone basic respect, now I have someone texting me every thought they have, every video they see, and expecting to hangout every day and be invited to every group hangout. If these were just enthusiastic friends, that would be fine, but this personality type I seem to attract is just never satisfied. I've had so many friend break ups where I'm basically read off a list of ways I'm a horrible, neglectful friend who excludes people.
I'm not being dishonest with these friends, either. I will talk about my other friends often. I will invite new friends into my friend group when the situation allows for it. But these clingier friends seem to have a big/negative reaction when they aren't invited to everything. I don't want to be a package deal with someone just because they want it that way. I want to have autonomy in my social life.
I had an ex friend tell me I excluded her from my larger friend groups because I was embarrassed by her. What really happened was, I invited her to group hangouts very often and she never came because she wanted to hangout with just me and had a tough time sharing my attention when she would be in a group with me. I still invited her around, even when I thought it wasn't a good idea, and it never ended well. Always a huge issue due to perceived rejection when all I'm doing is talking to the other people in the setting as well, not just her. I go out of my way to introduce people and try to get convos going between them, but these types of people will just reject it and turn their focus to me.
This is the trend that keeps popping up. I meet someone, I show them basic human respect, they take that to mean I am forever binding my soul to theirs, and then they get enraged that I have other friends.
what am I doing that is conveying that I have nothing but time and undying affection to give to people at the drop of a hat? Am I accidentally love bombing people? I'm extremely open to this being my fault. I'm so exhausted and burnt out all the time. I've been hitting spells of going nonverbal more and more because I'm so burnt out socially. I try to communicate clearly but it feels like they only hear what they want to hear.
