Hello all

I bought a clove infused shea butter and it smells really strong and mentholed
The smell irritated my eyes

Is it normal for it to smell like this…?

I am a woman in my 20s who used to live with my brother who I am very close to
My brother got married like a year ago and he only told me about her like a week before getting married which was a complete shock to me, so I stayed depressed for like a while. He didn’t tell anybody else of my family, but I was living with him so I was not prepared at all

Anyways after he got married and they came back from travelling, I stayed with them for a while because we kept the same apartment. I used to help a lot around the house, I used to do all the grocery shopping et cetera, I try to be very nice to her, bring her things that she likes whenever I can. when they found a bigger one, they moved.
We only live five minutes away from each other now

Now the thing is, me and my sister-in-law have very different personalities, I am a very direct person and she’s the type to be over diplomatic and does too much communication gymnastics, she is also manipulative sometimes

I am a very patient person with people but I feel that she does purposeful annoying things for me to get tired of her, but because she’s so diplomatic in appearance, if I say anything, I will appear like the bitter one. I also never say anything bad about her to my brother because I want us all to have a good relationship and I don’t want to look like a bitter sister-in-law

I have been trying to go there frequently, they always call me and tell me to , but she gets to my nerves and make it hard to be around her
These days also, I really need to focus on myself and my health, and for that I like to be alone and not see anybody for a while

So now I’m kind of torn between two things, on the one side I would prefer to literally not see her again because I am better off when I am not around her, however it is obviously not realistic since we live so close and we are family , and also not seeing her with me not seeing my brother.

I don’t want to lose the close relationship that I have had with this brother because of her and because I am taking my distances

But it’s hard for me to feel good when I see her regularly

Maybe I’m the one with issues I don’t know, it’s just that I am hypersensitive to people that I feel bring me negativity

I would appreciate advice on this

Hello

I have terrible anxiety around people holding phones and fear being filmed

Everytime someone is holding a phone in front of me that looks like I might be getting filmed or taken a picture of I get super anxious and start trying to Check

Sometimes (most times) I realise that the person is just minding their business

But if the person is actually filming (not necessarily me) I get panic attacks and dwell on the subject for hours

My family is tired of hearing of this they don’t understand

Yesterday, I was parking and I didn’t pay attention touched a guys car slightly behind me. He was standing and watching me park and holding his phone ( no proof he was filming)
Not only that but he had a dashcam
Literally all my phobia reunited

And I feel stupid for even worry it but I can’t get over it

Hello, I am a beginner and I fermented beets for the first time

I am used to buying a fermented beet juice from the store
However, I wanted to try to make my own

Can I use the beets I fermented to make the juice out of it with the juice extractor for example or is it a completely different process?

I have been introspecting and I realize that some of my reluctance to engage in social gatherings, events etc is a fake « snobism »

When I decide that it is time to meet people and extend my social circle I get this anxiety and try to rationalise it by putting myself above the kind of events and gatherings I find

But today I decided to sit with the feeling and ask myself why I was feeling like this

And realize it was actually fear and anxiety that it would make me learn things about myself that I wasn’t ready to

The anxiety of learning that I am perhaps not as interesting as I thought, or anxiety that I might get in an uncomfortable social situation and not know how to respond etc… and somehow being taken out of my pedestal

So it is actually the opposite

And I want to change

I don’t know if this resonates with anybody or what you guys think about it, and what I should do

Hello

It is said that women are often sensitive to sweet words and easily touched by sweet talk

A woman could easily blush, get butterflies or simply like a man more

To which extent are men affected by sweet talk from women?

Edit: I am talking in general, whether it’s a new date, a long time girlfriend or wife

Example: a new date tells you how she admires how smart you are, or your girl friend tells you how she lives having you or your wife how handsome you are

Not for anemia but rather suboptimal iron levels

Has anyone tried it

أنا حاسة إن الأفلام المصرية القديمة الجريئة دروس في فن الإغراء والدلع فيه مكس لذيذ بين الجرأة والتحفظ، خصوصا الأفلام من عام ٦٠ لـ٨٠.

الخبيرين في الأفلام دي، ياريت تنصحوني في البعض منها عشان أذاكر.​​​​​​​​​

Is there a figurative use of العوم ?

I often hear it in egyptian older songs, mostly romantic

I have been enjoying a specific type of Egyptian series/movies lately. Where the characters live in compounds, villas, work in modern well-designed offices or restaurants, in areas like New Cairo, Gouna, Sahel etc. With expensive looking interiors, modern, clean architecture, nice furniture, that kind of thing. Basically upper-class or upper-middle-class Egyptian

Some shows I have watched that gave me this vibe

نمرة اتنين

حدث بالفعل

ماتراه ليس كما يبدو،

مطعم الحبايب،

اتنين غيرنا،

كلهم بيحبو مودي،

ابن النادي،

على قد الحب

I am looking for more recommendations for tv shows or movies with the same setting/aesthetic

I don’t mind the plot much

I can’t get out of bed
