>have any of you gals found a way to battle … the toxicity of the world?

No. I suffer everyday and it will never end.

I wish I had tips but at the end of the day idek if we struggle from the same sort of insecurity.

When dealing with others I know they judge me as not attractive because I'm not perfect or whatever, but ironically I absolutely love how I look. So I'm ashamed when interacting with people at times but also would never change myself and I tend to design characters that look like me. Also would fuck myself 100%.

There was a time when I did hate how I looked though. I think I've just spent so long staring at myself that I've accepted it. Watching/reading bodyposi stuff from ""objectively uglier"" women also helped, as has art. Depicting myself and ugly people turned me on to the idea that traditionally unattractive features can be aesthetic. If you have a knack for art I recommend that heavily. Otherwise idk. Fixing feelings is abstract and there's no clear trick to it.

My goal now is to stop caring what others think. I'm working on it, but it is hard at times.

serial experiments lain is overrated anyways

I've seen this anime girl quite a few times online, but I don't know who she is. Fill me in?

Idk if it’s unpopular or not but 4chan should’ve died after moot left.

>>37056
Nah, it's just common sense.

>>37048
>>37050
Heh.

>>37055
not sure if it is exactly what you are talking about, but seasonal mood disorder can do that to me in cycles. at-least that is what i think it is.

Easy: never hang out in a group.
I've had this hacked since graduating high school. Otherwise, in groups having an imposing voice or size helps.

>>37058
Oh sorry anon, I didn't see you there

>>37058
this brought up really depressing memories from middle and high school, thanks anon

but like the other person said, i usually avoid groups

cuddling seems way more intense for men because men are literally so isolated from other human beings that many of them go years in between things like sex, hugging, compliments, and any other form of positive attention whatsoever

I think men would only want to cuddle with women they're actually attracted to as people. So that's already a different ballgame.

>>37013
And women would cuddle with everyone or what? kek

>>37016
No, I meant cuddling would be a chore if it was with someone that was only being used for their body.

Cuddling and feeling the warmth of a significant other is super underrated. Sometimes that's all you need for the night.

The reach of Chinese psyops is getting really insane. I have no doubt that such gold-digging will come to pass with more than just Slav girls flinging themselves at rich Chinese dudes though.

>>37015
To me coffeemeetsbagel sounded like something involving black women + asian men, that's why I asked. And tantan is the app that seems to be for wmaf, because the pics they advertise with are only always white men + asian women.

I live in Canada where we have a ton of Asian fobs. Rich Chinese guys all have this new money syndrome where they expect to be treated like royalty because their daddy bought them a nice car. It's really off-putting.

>Chinese men are also a lot taller than other asians

That is if we are talking about regions way up North. The national average is lower than the Korean Average.

And yeah, there are a lot of Chinese men who are quite the catch in every way you mentioned. But good luck with his parents approving of you if you're not Chinese.

>>37049
>But good luck with his parents approving of you if you're not Chinese.
I feel like people who say this are just concern-trolling ("good luck preferring people other than your own, did you know their parents suck? better stick to your own nationality!"). Or they're basing it off of their own experience with one Chinese guy they used to date long-term but then got jaded and went back to their own nationality even though there are many non-Chinese wives with perfectly accepting in-laws.

>this

Tumblr=pc baby website filled with fat feminazis is a stereotype created by people who never had a Tumblr account.

Yes you'll get the crazy blogs, but frankly you'll read crazier shit on current year twitter than 90% of peak tumblr ever was

>>36416
There’s literally nothing wrong with piercings and hair dye

>>36965
Exactly, I see more bizarre takes on twitter than anything I’ve ever seen on tumblr.

>>36965
I've been on Tumblr since 2010, can sort of concur.
It really depends on who you follow. I barely ever saw any of the extreme SJW shit until I joined a specific fandom. It's the people, not the platform. Tumblr just happens to be a good platform to post about fandom shit on because it supports a lot of different media types. Now they moved to Twitter and Tumblr is actually calming down a lot.

K-Pop twitter stuff makes the "horror stories" from the Tumblr Homestuck and even SU fandom seem like babby-stuff.

it's sad though how like everything on tumblr is slowly decaying and being 404'ed (not just from deactivations/removals) but simply due to the shit interface making desktop browsing a pain to browse through and sift through stuff (twitter doesn't have this problem); and not everyone prefers to kill time on the net with their mobile phone as opposed to desktop.

I wonder if livejournal also had this exaggerated stereotype of a "dumpster-file" that tumblr does, but I am not old enough for that.

>>36999
Tumblr also shot itself in the foot by purging all NSFW content instead of addressing the real problem

>>36085
my dad is half and yes im from the uk

>>36085
Wait, how can you tell she was in the UK from that post? Am I missing something?

>>36091
Usually when people say "I'm 1/4th x" where x is something exotic, it's implied that the rest is white (since otherwise they would have specified, e.g. if someone were West Indian with one Indian grandparent). U.K. is the western nation that the most extensive history with India. Therefore, if she has one Indian grandparent and the rest is some manner of European, I suspect U.K. There are people with one Indian parent in USA, but not too many with one Indian grandparent.

>>36093
im 1/4 iraqi aswell (mum is half) ive lived with both non-english grandparents for awhile so ive seen alot of each culture. you can usually tell they are from the uk if they are a mix of indian due to the british empires relationship with india just like you said lol. i think being this type of mix will become pretty normal in alot of countries within the next two generations

>>36116
>i think being this type of mix will become pretty normal in alot of countries within the next two generations

Probably. For instance our former ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley (née Randhawa), married an Anglo-American man and has two half-Indian children.

Wow has it really been over 4 years since that came out? God damn. I remember joking and laughing about that one like it was yesterday.

>>21664
>>21665
That was so fun, thanks for posting.

>that reveal at the end
That was quite the twist

god damn i actually truly hate reading greentext like this.
am i too old for this stuff now?

>>33629
Sure but hanging out with a certain type of person doesn't mean you can ever fully know, understand or even become them
A lot of my friends are male and American but I'm neither of those things and itd be silly if I started saying I know exactly what its like to be a straight white male in the USA and can totally become one because I've seen Fight Club and watch sports sometimes lol
I also didn't mean to bash and I'm sorry if it came off that way

looks like a lot of STIs one way or another

Says Xochitl, as she gets ready for the Day of the Dead celebration that's happening down in Texcoco. Her brother wakes up from the nightmare he's had about La Llorona, a folk tale that originated in native culture. Before she leaves, she prays by the altar dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Native American version of the Virgin Mary, who appeared to a Native American man one day in the desert. When she walks outside, she sees the Mexican flag. On the flag is an eagle sitting on a prickly pear with a snake in its mouth. According to Aztec legend, they were told by god that they should travel South until they find an eagle sitting on a cactus, eating a snake. Wherever they find it will be their new homeland. She wondered why a culture completely influenced by Iberia would put Native American imagery on their country's flag and even go as far as to name said country after the original name of the Aztecs, the Mexica. But she brushed it off. "I'm Spaniard," she said, as she pulled out an umbrella because she didn't want to get dark.

This is a beautiful piece of writing. And spot on.

>>36924
It is beautiful. I think maybe she felt it was more revelatory when she posted it though.

Like it just says that women have their own common experiences that a transwoman simply won't experience. That's not really all that surprising tbh lol. You could even extend the same idea to men and to the transgenders themselves or even break it down and apply it to every individual. It's nice and fractal in that way, I like it.
