Anonymous asked: Most of the time I'm around anybody, even my close friends, I cut down my enthusiasm way down from what I'm actually feeling. I just want someone to be as excited over for example, a song, & gush over it & listen to it on repeat till I can sing it backwards without feeling like an idiot. I never say what I'm actually feeling 99% of the time because I'm afraid that...

Anonymous asked: Ok this is kind of gross but how many times a day are you supposed to be peeing? Like, I've been trying to drink more water (I'm up to 4 glasses) but it's like I keep having to run to the bathroom and it's driving me nuts. What's healthy? :S thanks!
raaavenclawwwolf asked: To the anon who's 20.. Well, I'm a lot older than that now. I've been there, I've tried to grow up too fast. I've tried to impress people. It didn't really work - there will always be those who will judge you and look down on you. I used to hate being told I looked young because I felt i wasn't being taken seriously. I still am told that - but now I appreciate...

Picking a spotter
When you’re starting in the weight room, you want someone who can make sure you have proper form and literally spot you, grabbing the weight if you can’t hold it. This doesn’t have to be a personal trainer. Pick someone you trust who knows their way around the gym well. Pick someone who knows what they’re doing andcares about you. Pick someone who will keep an eye on you,...

Over the last few months I’ve gone from an Express size 5 to a 2 being a little loose. The scale hasnt moved at all. Believe the size in your jeans, not the pounds.
Anonymous asked: Just for clarification, (I'm the poster with the 14 year old friend) I'm not upset about the fact that she's having sex. That doesn't bother me in the slightest because I was the same way, it just bothers me who it's with. If the guy was a little younger, I wouldn't be so worried.

Ladies, weight room takeover
So you have a gym membership. I’m assuming you were not allowed to pay half the membership fee and promise to only use the cardio section. Instead, you’re paying the full fee and spending hours on the treadmill, looking wistfully toward the weight room that you planned on using. If you only want the gym for the cardio station, you might as well buy your own elliptical, or better yet,...

Anonymous asked: Why can I not just let myself feel nice. Not pretty, not beautiful, but just nice. How is that so hard? I try things like changing my hair that literally makes me look less like a boy, I wear my favorite jewelry & my favorite clothes. But halfway through the day I'll catch a glimpse of myself & feel like an idiot. Like I'm glaringly obvious in trying too hard. When in reality...

Anonymous asked: Hi :) I really like this guy, and he really likes me back - we're basically dating without the label of "boy/girlfriend". We've talked about holding hands and kissing, but I get kind of shy around him. Should I make the first move? Or would that not be good?

The problem is, she's dating my ex-boyfriend who is my age and he's having sex with her. The fact that he's my ex doesn't bother me in the slightest, it was years ago. What does bother me is she's so young! I...

Anonymous asked: When I was about 10/11, a teacher called me stupid in front of the class because I made a mistake in my work. I think that incident has affected me as I tend to be apprehensive and afraid of my teachers now. I don't trust them, even though they are nice and supportive. How do I put this behind me? I feel like I should just get over it because it was 5-6 years ago.

Why do I run?
Because it burns calories? Or because it makes me skinny? Because I can go for a run with the man (who happens to be a personal trainer) and keep up? Or because it makes my dog ridiculously happy?
All those things are true, but that isn’t why.
I run because it hurts and it’s tiring and it kicks your ass and it’s awesome. I run for when you’re hunched over, totally wiped,...

Anonymous asked: My family has always been financially strained which has caused a lot of moving. Every time we move my dad rants on about how, at his age, he shouldn't be in financial trouble like this. I try to be optimistic, but his argument is always stronger.

Anonymous asked: Sometimes, I expel a small amount of food after I've eaten. I don't like to say it's vomiting because I've been sick before from a legitimate physical illness and what I do feels nowhere near like that. I only ever use slight force to bring it up and on occasion taste acid. So is this normal? I admit that I have issues with food involving not eating enough but that is getting...

Evolutionarily, men like skinny women
I hear this all the time, and it’s totally taken out of context, stripped down to extreme basics, and overhyped. Let’s start by saying that what men/women likeevolutionarilydoesn’t necessarily align with what your average person is into today.
Now lets go on to the statement itself. Men are showed, over time, to prefer a waist to hip ratio of .7 (70%). This is generally defined...

I know guys like to know you're enjoying it and all, but for some reason I just feel really self conscious about making any noise. I know I'm not alone in this, but I hate how uptight I can be. Any tips?

This creeps me out because half the time I am only attracted to older men & few my age (20's) & yes my father was next to never in my life. It creeps me out because I think it's some sort of subconscious reaction to that. I feel & act older than most young...
