Yeah I had and still have this every time I get a pimple. My American derms all just prescribed azelaic acid and said to give it time but my doctor back home said laser is the only thing that helps because if it doesn’t fade within the first three months then it’s like the capillaries broke and healed in that shape.

southeast asian nonnies, esp who are indonesian, malaysian, laotian cambodian thai etc, how has been your experiences with, and relating to east asians and eastern Asian culture? I'd really appreciate if any sea nonnies could answer these questions:
>in a group, community or setting that is predominately east asian (like a Korean or Japanese supermarket or bookstore), do you feel like you are treated similarly to how the other east asians are treated,or do you feel like you are treated as a foreigner?
>do you find it easier to find east asian friends in comparison to friends from other cultures/races?
>if you are learning an east Asian language, how has it been speaking that language with native speakers? do they notice that you aren't a native speaker? do you feel like they assume you are east Asian because you're able to speak that language?
>do you adhere to east Asian beauty standards? do you purchase a lot of kbeauty goods or are influenced by Japanese beauty and fashion trends?
>do you feel like you feel more represented by, or resonate more to east asian media, food, or general culture than your own culture?
>when non-asians find out that you are south east asian and not east asian, how do you feel?
>have you went by an east Asian name online before? if so, do you feel like you were seen as east asian, and how did that make you feel?
>do you feel embarrassed by your own culture because it is less recognizable or popular as east Asian culture is to the west?
>how popular and influential is east Asian culture in your culture's home country?
>how has the rise in east asian popular culture in the last ten years influenced how you are perceived by non-asians? do you feel like you have this standard of east asian beauty or familiarity with east asian culture that you have to live up to? do you feel fetishized?
>do you have a preference for east asian partners in comparison to southeast asian partners? do you prefer east asian partners to partners of non-asian races?

I'm Viet, so I always feel like this weird middle ground between East Asian and SEA. Culturally I feel a lot more kinship with East Asian culture over SEA since we're part of the Sinosphere and more heavily influenced by China compared to other SEA cultures, but since Vietnam isn't actually in East Asia, and aside from the war don't have the same global intrigue and soft power since we're not as wealthy, it kinda feels like a neglected middle child type of thing, if that makes sense.

The other thing is that I'm also Canadian, so East and Southeast Asians here are treated a lot more monolithic. I grew up in an area where the Asian population is mostly Chinese and Vietnamese, so that probably also adds to the feeling of being culturally closer to East Asians than Southeast Asians, since us second gens always stuck together and we were always associated with each other. So even before East Asia became trendy amongst Westerners, I'm already used to being associated as East Asian even though I'm not actually.

Ayrt I think if the whole outfit is themed around navy and black it can work, same thing with brown and black, they have to be the two main colors of the outfit though so it looks intentional and not mismatched. If you’re wearing an outfit that isn’t focused on putting those two colors together, and those two colors just happen to both be in it, I think that’s what’s considered ugly. Like wearing black shoes with navy slacks or a brown belt on black slacks, stuff like that.

I've only realized recently that I love fashion, just not trendy fashion. I like to find the most unique pieces in thrift stores and on ebay and put together outfits that are nothing like what anyone else is wearing, something perfect for me. But sometimes I wonder what the point is, because I have nowhere to wear them. Other than to work. On the evenings and weekends I stay home and sleep because I can't think of anything to do or anywhere to go. All my old friends from years past have moved away, I have no one inviting me to go anywhere. I am 26 and have never been to a party or a bar in my life and probably never will. So even though I'm always working on finding cool pieces of clothing, and get excited when I find one, in the back of my mind I'm always wondering… for what? I will never wear them anywhere but my 9 to 5. It makes me depressed and feel like such a loser.

Does anyone else only look good in dresses? Like a basic jean and top makes me so dumpy and potatoe-sacky, but a nice maxi dress makes me look elegant and slim even though I have a skinnyfat fridge body. I guess because it smoothes over the hip-waist area and elongates things? I wish I knew how to dress my body type in pants and tops, but everything I try just emphasizes my skinnyfatness + no waist + no boobs. How do I make pants/jeans and tops work for me?

Like you, I look amazing in all kinds of dresses, but dresses don’t fit with my style. If I were you I would lose as much weight as I’d healthy, fridge bodies don’t look as bad when the whole frame is thin imo.
I have short stocky legs and a thin upper body and I have to very specifically wear at least mid or high rise pants tucked at the front but NOT the back. If it’s tucked up in the back, I look frumpy just due to the way my upper hips are shaped despite having a nice butt. If it’s loose in the front, my legs look approximately 2 inches long like this thing picrel. I also always have to be wearing at least a slight heel.

I feel like telling soft naturals to never define their waist is such a retarded and nonsensical psyop when soft natural is often mistaken for soft classic and soft classics "need" waist definition. Kibbe was such a loser faggot with women with "nautral" silhouettes I swear to god. Also I think broad shouldered women look great with waist emphasis.

Heels aren’t always non-gnc in my opinion. Yeah stilletto types, but boots and shoes with more solid heels are what I wear and I consider my style to be androgynous. Flat shoes are definitely more androgynous generally, but I tried wearing heel-less shoes and just looked like a misguided middle schooler TIF due to my height and stocky-legged build. I wear something similar to picrel but with a zipper almost every day, the soles are almost worn through now. They go with everything imo and give off slick minimalist androgynous energy.

There isn't a j-fashion thread anymore so here's one. Talk about tips, makeup, hair tutorials, coords, jfash in general etc.

Pic related has cute makeup (though it's personally too much for me, I don't wear lenses). I usually prefer the very girly look for clothes (ruffly skirts, blouses, long socks, "kawaii" high heels, blouses, cardigans, lots of pink and white, etc) but it's almost always too over the top for me to wear in real life :(

It truly is. I guarantee if you're insecure about people younger than you condescending you or making fun of you for not ~grinding~ or whatever, you shouldn't be because all of those young people will either be like you or be in a marriage as a semi-depressive SAHM. Worse, they'll be a weird minstrely "content creator" and ebeggar trying to game the algo, so while they may have money they're desperate and with no dignity or lobe development. Go at a pace designed for you. If you get behind or drag your feet, don't punish yourself or wallow in self loathing. Just get back up and keep walking forward. There is literally no formula to follow on earth that is any better than any other, if you arent hurting anyone else and trying to support yourself you are still doing lighyears greater than evil billionares or bad people.

Your life is uniquely your own. A lot of the simplistic, kind of cheesy words of encouragement that feel corny to say are absolutely right. Any of you–pursuing a life of sincerity, focusing on using a vocabulary that isn't snatched from new internet trends and developing interests that don't require convoluted online knowledge, and ridding yourself of irony poisoning are the first few steps toward hating yourself less for not achieving grandiose things. Nothing about your existence requires that you live a media-approved life. The basics are enough. Gratitude for each small milestone in the face of a world that views you as valueless without money or enterprise to exploit is genuinely a fuck you to people/establishments who want you powerless and miserable. If you feel you have to pursue alternative means of living, do that, but make sure you find support and community where you are.

I have a short friend who constantly posts about how she’s mistaken for a kid, but it’s broken the suspicion of disbelief at this point. First it was high school, then someone thought she was in middle school, and recently she claimed an elementary bus driver stopped on the street to pick her up. Next she’s going to say she was wandering through a hospital and a nurse tried to take her to a maternity ward.

I'm 5'0. I tend to perceive fat women at a similar height as "taller" than me, and slim women as "shorter". I'm relatively stocky, so I also generally perceive myself as taller and larger than I am. I'm often surprised in pictures how small I look relative to other people, I don't "feel" that small.

Demoralization? Kek it reminds me of this tranny I met on a game a while ago. He was almost 7ft tall and claimed to be a real woman and specified that he was totally NOT a Troon but would refuse to voice chat, send pictures of his face or hands, literally anything. Said he was the shortest girl in his family and that his real female aunts were totes taller than him.

I'm 5'1" and I like being short. It feels like it gives me an advantage in new social situations because short people are generally perceived as less of a threat but I could be imagining that. I also like that being short makes me a bit "cuter" feeling. Finding a romantic partner (man or woman) who is taller than me is incredibly easy and I prefer tall men and women as partners. I like to travel as well and being short makes being comfortable on an airplane really easy too since my legs don't cramp up from being squished into a space without much leg room.

I think the biggest con to being short is that short people can't eat as much as average and tall people without gaining weight. Having a tall partner can make it difficult to not overeat too if you're sharing mealtimes often.

For me it's the opposite, I see short fat women as tiny (for context I'm on the taller side). I just notice height first.

Thanks anon for your insights. I am totally on your side and believe there are dual options here, I'm not one to fall for the tiktok trends discussing medicine so I do believe I probably need a second opinion. I was put on BC to stop the ovulation process which apparently is what creates cysts. But again I'm just not super confident in that information, wouldn't every woman have to be on it forever then? I am just starting to reconsider how I take medications and consider a more natural approach to my body. Maybe I do need BC, but I think it would be best to probably seek more medical advice.

Instead of having several small, mismatched organizers, find one big organizer with a bunch of dividers, or several matching organizers. It looks unplanned now because some things are in bins and some are just out there, and it would look more deliberate if everything had a "home". The black plastic drawers are not very aesthetic, and I think it would be impossible to make them cute. On the other hand, acrylic organizers like that small two-drawer thing you have are pretty popular and not too expensive so you could probably find one that's perfect for what you want, see picrel. It will probably help if you remove the painting and re-hang it higher so you have more vertical space. The turtle cup is cute: you could put it on top of the big organizer if you can find one. You could probably find another cute novelty cup-like thing to hold other "long" items (lip liner, eyeliner). When you're re-sorting your cosmetics, eliminate things you're holding onto for no reason that you've lost interest in. Like if you actually use both the red lip gloss and babylips, then keep them both of course, but if you bought babylips when it was trendy and don't really like it, toss it, don't just hoard. I don't think you need to eliminate your toys but they'd look cuter if they were accents and not just living among the bottles.
