I have an event with a decent amount of people I have to go to tomorrow and my mind just keeps racing. I have no idea how I can get through it in one piece. I’m not a drinker at all but people keep saying to me to have some alcohol beforehand to loosen up. Is alcohol actually helpful for dealing with stress and social situations? I have no idea what else to do
I’ve honestly never put much effort into my appearance and I’m trying to change that. I’ve spent most of my life in joggers and hoodies and I feel slobby wearing that constantly.
I’m around 5ft4 and I’m quite curvy so I have I hard time finding things that fit me the way I want. T shirts sit awkwardly on me and hugs every curve I have. They’re usually too long but not baggy because they hug my hips and I hate it. Almost everything on my bottom half (jeans, trousers, etc) just never look right too. Any advice is appreciated
Hey everyone. A close family member of mine has their birthday coming up really soon and there’s going to be a birthday dinner. At first I assumed it was just going to be us and them and while that stressed me out I knew I could front it out. Then it’s revealed there’s more family coming. At first it really stressed me out but as time went on I’ve convinced myself that I can try my best to just go and face it. Now I’ve been told that there’s more people going that I don’t even know and I’m really panicking. The constant changing of what’s happening and who’s going is really stressing me out. I haven’t been out to dinner with the person whose birthday it is in about a year. The other family members I’ve barely seen maybe since before Covid. I’d normally say I can’t go but the age my family member is turning is a big deal for her and she wants everybody there. Does anyone have any tips on how I can get through this? I haven’t been in a situation like this for a very long time and it would look really bad for me if I back out of it
I finally got the big chop a couple of weeks ago after desperately wanting it for as long as I can remember. While I love that it’s short I’m not fond of the cut/style itself. I had to keep asking the stylist to go shorter even though I explicitly chose a picture with short hair. I’m pretty sure I have a heart shaped face and I have pretty thick slightly wavy hair. Also should I be going to a barber?
