Hey so, they see you as a friend. Not as a sexual or romantic partner. They don't have that connection with you. You can't just manifest romantic feels my guy. 

You never once bring up what you're looking for in a potential partner. You never once say if you even like your women friends, or what about them you enjoy or find compelling. 

You're literally just deciding proximity must mean these women should fuck you because you're there and so are they.

Do them a favor and stop being friends with these women because you're not being honest about your interactions with them.

Just an excitable boy I guess right

Funny enough, when I tell my doctor about my anxiety and white coat syndrome because I tend to work myself into "concerning" heart rates and blood pressure when I'm getting my vitals taken, they never believe me about the anxiety either. 

I'll be like, hey doc. If you look at my chart you'll see the multi year documentation for the anxiety. Your gunna take my vitals and then you're going to say "omg that's concerning, everything is worryingly high, do you feel faint?!"

And then I'm going to panic more and those readings will get higher. 

If we could skip you panicking over me panicking and just take my bp again at the end of the appointment you'll see things in a more normal range. 

My heart rate at rest averages at 70 and my blood pressure is normal too. 

Then they proceed to ignore me, freak out, then I freak out and it's a really fun appointment while I try and convince my doctor it really is JUST MY ANXIETY. 

You honestly can't win for losing. Everything is anxiety, until it IS anxiety, and then it's a cardiac event sigh

Last time I saw a doctor it was because I had shingles. I knew it was shingles because my husband got it in his mid 20s. I was...36? When I got it. 

I noticed the tingle first then noticed the beginning of the blisters, clocked what it was and immediately went to the Dr who proceeded to tell me I was too young for the shingles. 

I told her my husband got them when we were in our 20s. She dismissed me again that it was unlikely. 

I told her I was in excruciating pain and the skin eruptions were following the exact criteria of shingles (perfectly halfway around my hips, stopping at my belly button and middle of my back. I told her it was textbook. 

She still poo poo'd me, soni dropped my pants in the exam room and asked her to look at it and give me her best opinion then (before that she said she didn't need to see it because it was definitely not shingles and probably contact dermititis -_-)

Surprise, it was fucking shingles!

It's like they stretched her face and made it long?  Mouth is like too low or something with a very long nose?

My husband says this to me so often 😭. I feel bad but also, the fact that I spent my 20s trying aggressively to stay as close to 110lbs as possible and then punished myself for "giving up and letting myself go" when I went up to a size 5 (🫣) and now that I'm almost 40 and wearing a 10/12.....ugh. It's a hard habit to kick. Teenage years are formative and my brain still likes to default into "pinch an inch, grab a slab" mentality. It's like I never Left the mean girls in the highschool girls bathroom 😮‍💨

I remember OBSESSING over my thighs in the full length mirror in my bathroom. I was low key afraid to sit down in front of people because my thighs would spread 🫠

Round face and boobs and hips. 

Didn't matter that I was 100lbs if that, round head, butt and boob= chubby back then and ENDLESS hassling about inappropriate clothing (every skirt was "too short" and every shirt was "too tight" or "too low cut'. I wore the same uniform as everyone else with a sports bra and kept getting treated like I was walking around in a pushup padded wonderbra with my ass hanging out....oh to be 15 again 🙄)
