The Sex Files: Why it's called a one night stand. → truelifesex.tumblr.com

truelifesex:

Let’s be honest, sometimes the person you’re sleeping with is only tolerable for one night, possibly one night every few weeks, but maybe only one night in your life. Ever.

He might be super hot, 6’4, and a body earned from teaching Jiujitsu, but he will also coax you away from the adorable,…

i have chronic depression, ptsd, i am also bipolar, i take care of my mom, i am only 14. i fell back into self harming. my emotional bottle has been breaking a little to easy lately. . . i just needed to vent.

You can always vent here. You problems and tough times are important and valid and you need to feel free to talk here, talk to an adult, talk to a friend, call a help line, do anything. Remember to try your hardest to make time for yourself as a person, not the caregiver, not the depression, not the bipolar, but just you. Whether you just go for a walk, draw, write, watch your favorite tv show or read a book, take some time for yourself.

To the girl with the Mormon boyfriend... I'm a Mormon girl who has been dating a non Mormon guy for about 6 months, I'm lucky because my parents accept him and really like him. You say your boyfriend is 18, and there is TONS of pressure for Mormon guys to go on a mission when they're 19, and he is going to have to make that choice and if he goes, he's gone for two years. If he doens't go, his parents will not be too happy. As long as you accept ALL of who he is, nothing else should matter.

to open ask: Click the name of your blog at the top of your dashboard and then on right side of that page click settings. There's a little box on that page you have to check and then click save at the bottom.

For some reason, with the new Tumblr, I can't find any option to enable people to ask me questions. I figured you'd be the best person to ask, so how do you change that setting? I want to enable my ask box! Thanks :)

I’ve had mine enabled since I first got a tumblr which was before the dashboard change, so I’m not sure! Anybody else?

In your opinion, are the strongest people the ones who deal with it on their own? Or the ones who aren't afraid to ask others for help?

Everyone is strong and it’s in their own way. I think it takes a lot to ask for help, but that doesn’t make people who shoulder it alone weak.

Hi this is something i want to ask you, i sometimes feel like i don't recognize myself. Like i'm someone looking at someone else. It's the weirdest feeling, like i look in the mirror and really don't recognize myself. Is this something offbeat or totally okay?

We all have a different idea of what we look like, sound like, and act like than what other people see. As we all know, you listen to yourself speak all day, but if you hear yourself on your voicemail, it’s like a stranger. That smile you thought was sexy until you tried it in the mirror and realized you look like you’re having a spasm? That’s normal too. If you feel like you don’t recognize yourself at all, and you can’t correlate a relationship between your reflection and yourself, then you need to get some help, even if you just speak to your parents or a teacher, school nurse, or primary care doctor.

I really feel other people's emotions or if I see something sad or horrible I feel that pain. On one hand it can be helpful when/if I need to help someone but most of the time it just drags me down. I can hardly read the news without feeling sick and wanting to cry my eyes out or the point of anger that I cant stop anything. I know that I can't do much about the bad things that happen in the world but I don't know how to stop feeling so much it just breaks my heart & i dont know what to about it

Sometimes people are really empathetic (so much so that this is occasionally a superpower in comic books) and that’s okay, but you need to learn how to separate things into categories. Things that directly affect you - like yourself or a family member getting hurt - and then things that affect the universe around you - the war. It’s okay to cry and scream and be really hurt by the war. It’s okay to cry your eyes out at Extreme Makeover House Edition. Just remember that there’s a difference between recognizing something as wrong and sad, like the abuse to occupiers, and letting it ruin your day. There are somethings you can’t change. You can’t single handedly stop the abuse on the occupiers but you could write a letter to your congressmen. You can’t buy every puppy in those sad Sarah Mclaclan commercials, but you could volunteer at your local shelter.

If you’ve seen It’s Kind Of A Funny Story, this is pretty much the main characters issue, and like his therapist told him - Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

I have constant back pain that worsens while at work (fast food restaurant). I'm overweight, busty, and my life is purely about playing video games and working on the computer (writing, drawing, tumblr). I'm sure I'm doing everything wrong in my life, but what can I do for my back pain specifically? At 20, I'm too young for this discomfort ><

If you go to the chiropractor (usually covered by insurance) they will ream you out for the way you sit at your computer, but they’ll also realign you, tell you how your computer should be set up, and give you stretches. Yoga can also help, as it strengthens the core (and low back) and you work on stretches for you back and entire body. Exercising also helps to strengthen your muscles and keep your back in line.

If you walk a girl’s dog after spending the night with her, there’s a significantly higher chance of her calling you back for a repeat. There’s also a significantly higher chance of bjs with breakfast.

All I really need in life is a warm, comfy room full of books and a couple of dogs to sit with me.

I have been bleeding (my period) for just about over 2 months, and as it turns out, I am very anemic. I can't walk very far without feeling dizzy and like I'm going to pass out. Because of this, I am missing tons and tons of classes and so I'm thinking about doing a medical withdrawal from my college. My doctor already approved my request to do so, but I'm scared that my school won't. Do you think I have a legitimate reason to withdraw?

I have no idea how your school works, but you should be able to call and ask before actually applying for it. Just call your registrar and ask for details about what qualifies as medical leave.

To the girl with the Mormon boyfriend: I have a best friend who is Mormon and we've been friends for about 12 years. I know a lot about them. At first, they may not be very accepting. Of course, some Mormons are more strict than others. But try going to church with them, getting to know about their religion and meeting their friends from church. You don't have to become Mormon but get involved in his religious life. It'll help a lot. But if you want to eventually marry him, you'll have to choose

im in grade ten and everyday after my fourth period class i walk down this stairwell and theres a guy who i pass everyday. i don't know his name or anything, all i know is that he's in grade nine. he seems shy but he's adorable. i want to talk to him but i don't have the guts to randomly do that and i only see him in the stairwell. what should i do? thank youu!

Start by smiling at him, then waving or nodding, then saying hey. Don’t be scared to just flash him a smile. He’ll probably be excited someone older than him is smiling at him. You can be really cheesy and drop something in front of him if you want. See if any of your friends know him or about him. Ultimately, you just have to be confident, smile, and say hi someday! What’s the worst that can happen? Hey won’t say hi back? One, he will, because it’s polite, but if he doesn’t, so what? If you two never talk again, also so what? That’s the position you’ll be in if you never say hi to begin with.

Hi, im 18 years old and have been dating this amazing guy for almost a year and a half and I know that's not a super long time but he really means a lot to me. But his parents don't really approve of me... Im not a bad kid or anything, but they are Mormon and Im not and I feel like they don't like me because of thatand I feel like they think Im a bad influence on him.. I'm not going to change my religion anything but I don't like feeling that they dislike me because I'm not Mormon... Any advice

Sometimes parents just aren’t going to accept you. Realize that it’s not you, it’s the idea of their son being with anyone, possibly someone not in their religion, and they’re protective of him. Your boyfriend should be the one talking to them and explaining that he cares for you a lot and they should try to accept you. Be kind and care for their son, that’s the most they could ask for and the most you can do. Don’t let them bring you down.
