Ugh, seriously?! How on earth do you upload an image to this forum?? 😢

I just can't figure it out...

What’s weighing on you?

Kate Wilson7 said:But why go through with a breast augmentation if you aren't even done growing yet? I mean, breasts can still change during pregnancy—that’s when they actually take their final shape. Wouldn't it be smarter to just wait until after you've had kids?

And who's to say when I'll actually end up pregnant?? I want to feel attractive while I'm still young—what am I supposed to do once I'm old? 🤷

Hey there!

I’m 19 right now—which means I'll be 20 by the time I actually go through with this next year—so I'm definitely past that "too young" stage.

What I really need to know is: does anyone know a solid plastic surgeon in Los Angeles who specializes in breast augmentation??And honestly, what kind of price tag am I looking at here?, because if the quote is astronomical, my parents aren't going to foot the bill. 😢

Thanks!

I get that—I actually have a great little dog myself. 🙂

Charles Clark6 said:I think having a massive social circle might—if anything—just mask the feeling of loneliness. Honestly, most people probably only need a tiny handful of real connections to avoid feeling isolated.

My point was that solitude isn't necessarily an extreme thing, though I do agree that everyone needs their own space sometimes.

Charles Clark6 said:But what’s actually the point of expanding your social circle?

So you don't end up totally isolated—loneliness is a fast track to mental health issues.

p.s.: I dig your username. It reminds me of being a kid watching those old cartoons. 🙂

placidlynx24 said:Basically, what I’m trying to get at is—just give people time. Get to know them first. It's a fact that your opinion of them is going to shift every now and then (one day they'll seem great, the next they're a nightmare, then back to being alright... it's a cycle)

That’s actually where the issue lies.

placidlynx24 said:True, there aren't many good people out there, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. You know that old saying—it's better to have one real friend than a thousand acquaintances. Find someone who actually clicks with you and stick by them; that's what I did. 😁

I get the feeling you're somewhat different from everyone else on this forum. You seem decent, empathetic—you write well. 😁

I don't know, maybe I'm misreading things, but that's just the impression I've gathered. There's a certain calmness to your words.

Joshua Garcia11 said:Having this black-and-white view of everything—it’s just a sign of someone being a true individualist, which honestly sounds great on paper. At the end of the day, the coolest thing science has actually managed to prove is frequencies, and nothing else matters more than those frequencies.

I agree—they are individualists, sure—but man, it's a hard way to live. It's tough because our past traumas are always there, lurking, reminding us that
maybe things will stay this way in the future...

I’ve been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and depression—which basically means I tend to see everything in stark black and white—but I’m just asking, how do you actually fix this?

Gary Perez9 said:Look, there are just good people and bad people. I don't really get why this thread even exists.

The whole point here—the actual purpose of this discussion—is learning how to expand your social circle without viewing everyone through such a narrow, black-and-white lens. 😉

Here’s my dilemma...

That’s exactly why my circle of friends is so small—I can't just bottle things up. I know I’m not the only one who struggles with this, but for me, it creates this sense of inhibition and an actual aversion to most people, which just keeps shrinking my social world. 😕

In my eyes, there is no such thing as an "average" person; you're either genuinely good or you're completely warped, deeply corrupt... (and let’s be honest, the "corrupt" ones tend to outnumber the good ones). If you catch my drift?? 🤷

For instance, I was at a friend's birthday party recently, and there were some people there I just couldn't stand—even though I was meeting them for the very first time 🤣—but whatever. I ended up just getting up and leaving early, making some excuse about having a headache.

I realize I come across as spoiled, but sometimes I simply cannot tolerate certain individuals.

Does anyone else feel this way? How did you deal with it??

So, what exactly are you expecting from friends anyway?? 🤷 They're basically just there to grab a coffee with, maybe share a little chocolate,
stroll through town—to put it bluntly—they exist to kill time and make sure we don't sink into total isolation. But that's about it.

True altruistic friendship doesn't really exist anymore, especially among the younger crowd.

Honestly, you can only rely on yourself... and if you can't manage that? Well, just head out to a shop, buy something you actually like, and walk around downtown so people notice you 😉 (that’s a decent confidence booster), pick up an interesting magazine, or hit up a video store and find a gripping movie to take home..

I don't know if I'm just rambling nonsense here, but this approach has actually helped me quite a bit during some pretty rough patches.

I was taking Zoloft before, but then I had to go in for some blood work and they flagged some liver issues, so I had to stop altogether.

I’ve been on Lexapro myself—started it last year—and honestly, it’s done wonders for me, especially
when it comes to those early morning wake-ups that used to feel like an impossible uphill battle.

I did deal with some side effects at first—shaky hands, even some headaches—but things have finally settled down and everything is fine now!

How so? 🤔

muad´dib said:Maybe she just prefers the baggy look? 🤷

Look, I’m not going to pretend it’s normal for a girl who is clearly curvy to hide under oversized clothes. I mean—it’s her choice, obviously,
and I have no intention of policing anyone’s wardrobe, but let’s be real: most guys aren't exactly looking for baggy silhouettes on women. A guy is much more likely to turn his head for someone who might be less conventionally attractive but wears form-fitting clothes
than for someone who is actually stunning but hides everything behind layers of loose fabric.

I don't know... everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. I’m just speaking from my own experience here—and let's be honest, no two experiences are ever truly identical.

I don't know if I should even bother bringing this up—it feels like one of those topics that people just gloss over because they don't want to deal with the nuance—but we really need to talk about the Vilenica situation. It’s one of those things where you think you understand the folklore, the cultural weight behind it, and how it fits into our broader American heritage, but once you actually start digging into the specifics, everything becomes incredibly messy. It's like when people try to simplify complex historical movements into a single catchy slogan; they miss the entire point of the struggle involved. You can't just strip away the layers of tradition and expect the core meaning to remain intact. It’s frustrating, honestly. People want the easy answer, the polished version that looks good on a postcard, without acknowledging the grit underneath. Anyway, I'm rambling—my apologies—but I felt it was necessary to set the stage before this inevitably turns into another shouting match in the comments. kaže:
Maybe the women are just getting better at keeping it under wraps?

Everyone carries some level of insecurity—let’s be honest about that—but you can usually tell if it's a woman's particular brand of self-doubt just by watching how she carries herself or even how she puts an outfit together. It’s all there in the gait, the posture, the clothes... it's written all over them.
Usually, it’s the ones playing it safe—you know, the tight little outfits, the high heels... that whole predictable look.

I can only think of one woman who was genuinely stunning—truly striking—but she always hid behind these oversized, baggy clothes, which made it so easy to miss how much she actually had going for her.
I mean, if only she had realized how good she looked back when we hit the beach together last summer. She seriously had it all—that tiny waist, great curves, everything in the right place. I honestly can't wrap my head around why she was so insecure about herself.

I’m not entirely sure what you're getting at with that—it feels like a bit of a non sequitur, doesn't it? A single word dropped into the void without any context or follow-up. It’s a bit like walking into a room, saying "blue," and then just staring at everyone waiting for a reaction. If you're trying to evoke some sort of folklore or mythic imagery, fine—but here we are in the States, dealing with reality. Unless there's a specific point you're driving at, I'll just assume this was a typo or a momentary lapse in thought. Do better next time. kaže:
Out of the ten of us, only three actually bothered to weigh in—and even then, they barely scratched the surface of the actual details.

I’m not talking about those moments when they’re pushing back against some big authority figure—that's a different matter entirely—but rather how they act in everyday life, you know? Like when they're dealing with regular people, or even their own friends. That's where the real character shows.

Alex Patel96 said:That seems to be a pretty common pattern...

I haven't really noticed that—at least not from my experience dealing with women...

For me, it’s more of a guy thing... seeing them look great but being totally insecure about it? That’s just exhausting..
