Have I messed up

I’m in 11th and I’ve joined the allen integrated course In a classroom of almost 21 kids and I was extremely pumped in the beginning but now I’m genuinely the dumbest in the class and the teachers don’t expect shit from me. I have this regret in my heart of taking PCM bcz I think I’ve fucked my life up already and I’m so done with the repetitiveness of tests and stuff I literally hate myself for picking the wrong stream

What should I do?

Hi guys. I have met this girl a few years back, and we immediately clicked as friends. She lived in another city before, so I didn't really meet her a lot but we would chat on socials and try to go on small trips. Now though she moved to my city so I see her everyday. She has always been a loud person, talkative person, and has a habit of trying to make conversations about her, but before I didn't know this since we didn't meet that often in person and when we met it was tolerable. Now though that we meet everyday all she talks about is just her, her day, if we are talking about a certain topic it's gonna be how she experienced this and that, trying to give advice even when not asked, and the advice is just some general thing that everyone know. Gives me the idea of she likes to talk to make herself look important and knowledgeable. The most recent thing that irritated me is when a common friend of ours was talking about her experience with a guy , her first time, and she just kept interrupting her to say yeah when I do this or when I do that. I told her once let the other girl talk then you can comment in the end, but she just kept interrupting her every minute trying to give advice or tell her experience (even though we've heard it a million times) after this day though everything she does , even when it is nothing bad, irritates me a lot. I don't know what to do, we also work together, so I need to like find a way to tone down my irritation because I know I am seeing a few things she does in a bad way because I am irritated now. What would you all do in this situation? I need some advice, I don't think I want to end the friendship, because she is nice when she is not trying to make everything about her, however now I don't feel like relling her anything about my life anymore...

Husband only has sex with me like 2 or 3 times a month

My husband 24M and I 24F have been married going on 5 months now. Before we got married when we were dating we fucked like rabbits, multiple rounds, multiple times a day. Then we got married and now he barely touches me. There’s no intimacy at all and if we do have sex it’s a straight to business thing, no foreplay or encouraging words, which he knows I need to enjoy myself because I’ve flat out told him this to his face. There have been some emotional strains on our relationship but I just don’t get the lack of intimacy. I wouldn’t say I’m a dime but before we got married he always complimented me and loved the way I looked, so I assumed once we got married we’d keep on going the way we were. It makes me feel insecure and unsure about who I’m even married to anymore. Anyone who’s been married a long while got any advice?

I feel ashamed by my sexual needs..

It’s a really sensitive topic for me but I’ve never had the courage to talk about with my friends or my sXual partners, so please indulge. I won’t get into details of my intercourses of course. But trigger warning, if you’re sensitive to topics like SA/r4pe or sX in general.

Unfortunately, I was r4ped two times : two different situations with two different men. This occurred in the spawn of 4 months, when I was 16. Before those traumatic events, I already did my first time and tried out sexual stuff.

I also have gone through therapy with a wonderful therapist specialized in SA trauma. However, I was too embarrassed to actually express how much those events affected my sXual life. Nowadays I can’t stop myself for having intercourses with various men. I will be 19, in like 3 days, and I feel like I am so different from my other friends who want to settle with a guy and be a cute couple.

I can do stupid shit just to have sX with a guy, so my needs feels satisfied. And when I can’t do it, I will be turning in my bed frustrated but too ashamed to relieve myself with my hands or whatever..

I don’t really know what to do or who to turn to. But I glad I realized something was wrong with my overly too sXual appetite.

Sorry if it made you uncomfortable..

Questions on first time..?

Hi, this is awkward I know. But I don’t have access to medical services easily and I could never ask my parents about this. I’m 19F, today I had my first time.

At the moment it didn’t hurt, we used condoms ofc. I had no pain or bleeding at the moment. When I got home I peed, just a little came out, and I showered.

Thing is…6 hours after it happened I went to pee again and felt a sharp pain. It did not come from the pee itself no. But when my pee made contact with the outter area around the vagina towards the bottom it hurt like stinging. I patted gently to see what it was and it was blood. After 2 more wipes it was just lighter spotting, no more blood after. I can’t exactly get a good look at the area.

Is this normal? I’d already booked a sti appointment for the 15th, since I did give oral without condom. But I guess I’m just paranoid now. Is this pain just soreness because it was my first…

Ofc I don’t seek for anyone to diagnose me. I’m just looking for similar experiences if possible.

I feel like I am just another girl for him and feel like quietly exiting. Am I being unrealistic?

I feel like I am just another girl for him and feel like quietly exiting. Am I being unrealistic?

I need an outside perspective because I feel too emotionally involved to think clearly.

A few months ago, I wanted to experience being in a sugar relationship. I wasn't looking for marriage or a future. I just wanted companionship, intimacy and to experience that phase of life.

I spoke to several potential SDs before choosing one. What made him different was that he didn't immediately make it all about sex. He called me, talked to me, bought me ice cream, books and a dress. Those thoughtful gestures genuinely touched me. I felt like I had found someone I could be emotionally and sexually involved with, even though I knew there was no long-term future.

He offered me an allowance for sex, but I declined because I didn't want the relationship to feel transactional. Looking back, I think that's when my expectations started changing. I wanted something that felt emotionally genuine.

He was transparent from the beginning that he had a girlfriend, another sugar baby and a spa girl he was sexually involved with. Initially I thought I could handle it. I told myself that I knew what I was signing up for and I'd get used to it.

Instead, the opposite happened.

Every time he talked about another woman, I felt jealous and hurt. Sometimes he even sent me live videos of himself having sex with the other girl. I never told him it bothered me because I didn't want him to know I felt hurt or spoil his mood.

I am also concerned about the fact that while i am exclusive, he sees other women in a risky setting - chicks from spa and frequent raw sex. I am getting really scared of the consequences on my health due to this.

Over time, almost all our conversations became about sex. He usually texts asking when I'm free, when we can meet or asking for intimate pictures. If he asks how I am, the conversation quickly becomes sexual. The truth is that I don't like online sexual conversations at all times. I enjoy physical intimacy in person, but I often go along with sexting because I'm afraid that if I stop, he think I am showing attitude or think wrong about me.

I realized I wanted much more than that.

I wanted normal conversations. I wanted him to ask me to lunch or dinner. I wanted to talk about books, life, work or random things without every interaction leading to sex.

I even told him once that I needed a little emotional intimacy. His reply was, "A little becomes huge one day."

Another thing that hurt me was when I bought him a watch as a gift. I left it with his security because he wasn't home. When he returned, he went directly to meet the spa girl for sex instead of collecting my gift. Maybe he had his reasons, but emotionally it made me feel like my effort could wait while sex couldn't. I felt completely secondary.

Looking back, I realize I was putting a lot of emotional thought into the relationship.

There were other moments too. Once I apologized because I couldn't meet him, and he replied, "You're not my girlfriend to say sorry." He also says he doesn't meet women in coffee shops or restaurants because he's somewhat well known and doesn't want problems affecting his marriage.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that what I actually want is very simple. I don't want expensive gifts or more money. I want someone who occasionally asks me on a normal date, enjoys talking to me and makes me feel important outside of sex.

The biggest realization I've had is that I don't think I can emotionally share someone. I thought I could, but I can't. I constantly feel anxious about where I stand. If this exact relationship continued for another six months, with the other girls still in the picture and everything centered around sex, I know I would feel dread rather than happiness.

I'm now considering slowly ending the relationship because I don't think he can provide what I need emotionally, and I don't think it's fair to expect him to become someone different from who he has consistently shown himself to be.

Am I overthinking this? Did I unintentionally develop expectations that don't fit this kind of relationship, or is it understandable to feel this way? If you were in my position, what would you do?

Relationship Anxiety

I tend to have a lot of anxiety/obsessive thoughts around my husband and our relationship.
Constantly worried about if he’s happy or if he’s wishing he wasn’t with me. He hasn’t necessarily done anything for me to feel this way- they are just thoughts that won’t leave my head.
We have a great relationship and communicate well for the most part
In the past I would tell him all these thoughts but I started feeling like maybe it was putting a lot of pressure and anxiety on him too.
Has anyone else felt this and if so how do you cope with it or help it stop?

Based on these photos what shape would you say my face is ?

I’m asking cause whatever you call it I’ve been really frustrated with it as I look awful thx to the shape if I do anything with my hair besides leave it down or put it in a clip with a couple strands at each side. I’m wondering if I should get a different hair cut that will help frame it better. The concern is my hair is wavy/curly and I’m not great with any tools( and I have AUDHD that makes coordination for anything complex annoying) other than a flat iron and a brush so it needs to be easy but I’m tired of feeling ugly and hating my face

Am i being weird?

Okay so I have a bestfriend (m, my age) since forever, we lived nearby, grew up together and used to be in general very close, but then we started growing apart and hanging out more with our respective school friends,

But then after Covid since we were so at home we got close again (we had a third frien but she didn't stay close) and when he had a breakup we started hanging out regularly, either late night walks or drives just talking, we started hanging out at each other's home even more, used to make each other food to eat while hanging out at each other's home.

We watched so many romcoms together online and he practically forced me to watch people we meet on vacations,

And mentioned how the yearly trip ritual is so cute and said how he would love to go on such trips with me and I laughed it off saying as if i am ever gonna get permission for it.

We also once talked about how friends to lovers is such a sweet genre.

Recently when we were on a late night walk I saw a flower shop closing and I said how he has never gotten me flowers and he just got me some then and there

Am i weird to think maybe we have something going on???

why do men do this????

I posted in a community about having an ed/struggling with depression. I have no photos on my profile, just my cartoon avatar that barely looks like me. The only thing people know is that I'm a 19yo woman because I mentioned it in the post.

I still ended up with multiple men in my DMs hitting on me.

Seeing someone clearly struggling and thinking it's a good time to flirt just feels so predatory and weird to me. I'm also mad because I posted in an effort to hear about other people's similar experiences instead I got that. honestly disappointing.

private chats are gonna be off for a while for sure.

stay safe out there baddies

Boyfriend break up

Hey everyone,
Last night my boyfriend broke up with me because he said he said he was happier with his friends. He rarely hangs out with his friends not due to me but due to his busy work schedule.Let me give you the story. We have been together for three years in five days and he has been working upwards of 60 hours a week and doesnt do much for himself when he’s not working Hes gaming or watching tv with me and slowly he stopped making efforts for dates. We were so busy. We are now on a month break and he said he will probably be ready to get back together then but he doesn’t know and wants to find happiness as he doesn’t have much hobbies. I think he is depressed and he also told me I did nothing wrong is it possible that we get back together and how can I make he feel safe to come back. I love him so much and I would do anything for him. He said he also loves me and that I deserve someone Whos 100% happy and ready to be committed. I know im kinda put words in his mouth but he’s done this before and we got back together he is avoidant and when he gives me space he misses me so I hope he does come back. Any advice is welcome. We had what I thought was a good relationship but I guess he needs to figure out his mental. Thank you everyone

going to a bar for girls night while in a relationship.

How do you handle a partner who gets upset every time you go out for a girls night—like to a bar—even though it’s completely harmless and only happens once every couple of months? I know I did nothing wrong, but I’m tired of made feeling guilty like I did. I guess I’m wondering if other people would be okay with this in their relationship. Is it normal for a partner to get upset over an occasional girls’ night at a bar? At what point does it go from respecting your partner’s feelings to feeling like you’re losing your independence? I’m curious how other people would handle this because right now I just feel disappointed and honestly a little resentful that I have to keep defending something that seems completely innocent to me.
