I can commiserate. Been struggling with my skin for 10+ years. If it's any consolation, lots of Redditors on r/skincareaddiction rave about their success with PocketDerm.

Yea, I don't ever get excited for anything because I know that I'll inevitably end up disappointed, which is my least favorite emotion. But I know it's largely a symptom of being so passive about everything.

How do you temper your excitement so as to avoid disappointment? I have an upcoming dermatologist visit as well as a job that I'm really hoping I get called in for an interview. I could really get my life on track if only I could get these things resolved, but I'm terrified that I'm getting my hopes up and will…

I second this. They are lazy default insults.

Ryan Gosling goes to Disneyland on his own. You can, too!

I had an interview yesterday with a law firm. The woman asked if I had plans for law school. I don't, but I said that I did because I thought that's what I was supposed to say. Ambition, y'know? She told me that she couldn't offer me the position because of this; they want a "paralegal for life." She then spent…

How does one subtly seduce an older man? Specifically, a guy with a dozen years on me who has been pretty clear about wanting to take my virginity. I'm so tired of fantasizing about him, but I get so nervous whenever I see him!

I posted this last weekend, but I'd like to ask again if any one has experience overcoming intimacy issues? I think I am incapable of ever being close with anyone and will likely never have sex. It's especially difficult as I'm in the life falling apart phase of my twenties and there's no one I trust to talk to about…

It's not necessarily the sex itself. Moreso being comfortable enough with anyone to get to that point as opposed to having a panic attack in their presence.

Does anyone have experience overcoming a severe fear of intimacy? Like, mid-twenties virgin fear of intimacy.

With 80,000+ people? Yes.

I've been to Bonnaroo. If you're at least relatively sober, you'll be fine. But keep in mind, you will be surrounded by large groups of people at all times. Bros, really. Almost all of whom are high and/or pissing on themselves to save their space at Arcade Fire
