I am 20 and still have face fat too. I think by 25 (or at least 30) our faces will mature a bit. I compare celebrities at 20 vs 25 vs 30 and sometimes all it takes is age.

>>18449
Baby fat is endearing, enjoy it while you have it.

This chin filler (Dr. Simon Ourian) can transform your life. I’m literally saving up for it.

A side profile of it

I've definitely grown fonder of my face over time. This is probably because I lost a bunch of weight, lost additional weight in my face due to getting older, and became more symmetrical after getting my teeth fixed with invisalign. There are a few things I would definitely change if I could guarantee that they would turn out 100% perfect, but nothing so far that I would actually commit to surgery for.

>personality
i like girls that are strange in some way, it doesn't matter what as long as it shows they are true to themselves and have a deep self and outer awareness. anything that makes me think they are "like everyone else" is an instant turn off.
my favorite kind of girl is aloof, a bit mysterious but also secretly incredibly sweet and protective.
i prefer logical thinkers rather than emotional ones (that tend to get on my nerves a lot actually), but being passionate about something, especially if humanitarian in some way, is a big plus.
i like autistic and schizoid traits in girls.

>body
i don't have many preferences, i like all kinds of healthy shapes and heights but if i really had to choose then i'd say i like pale skin, slim girls the most.

>fashion style
again no preferences but i'm not big on the normie (like trends following, slightly elegant but still casual style) or hip-hop fashion, the first because it makes me think she might be uninteresting and the second because it's ugly to me. anything else goes, maybe i prefer feminine clothing though. your picrel is a good example of something i would find nice.

Lel that’s basically me. Not into feminine clothing though.

Tbh you'll never get a straight answer because everyone will have a different opinion on what makes a woman attractive to them.
As for me, however
>personality
Introverted, but a bit more extroverted than myself is okay, she should be at least empathetic and willing to listen, likes/doesn't mind going outdoors, intelligent to some extent
>looks
Dark curly hair (at least shoulder-length) seems to be my flavor, but I'm not wedded to this either
>body
Pear or hourglass shaped, can be slim or a bit chubby—just as long as the shape is there
>fashion style
I'm not very picky about this. It just needs to look good on her.

you can take the plunge and have an edgy phase as an adult anon, i believe in you

Cute! Nona, if you live in an area where so many girls dress alt I think you should just take thd plunge!

i have the same problem, I have stopped to eat after 8pm to avoid gaining weight. When I get craving for unhealthy food I buy a lot of fruits and eat them between meals, also when I see them eating fast food I just stay in my room and drink a lot of water to forget and pretend Im full

I go grocery shopping with my mom and buy food I would eat. When I crave sweets, I eat fruit. I also try to only drink water, this limits any cals or sugar from sweetened drinks. You can just create a substitute for each craving.

There’s a chart somewhere on each craving and a substitute. It usually means you’re lacking in some nutrient that your craving contains.

>I have stopped to eat after 8pm to avoid gaining weight.

That's also good because it will force you to reconsider what you eat. As carbs aren't very filling, you'll be hungry again at midnight, while if you eat protein and vegetables and stuff you will be much more comfortable at night and be able to fall asleep.

>>18372
Brush your teeth after every meal. It removes the sugar and cravings from your mouth.

What are your unconventional features?

>18381
Large forehead, no nose bridge, slightly wider nose (but not really big, again like rih’s nose), face fat but had shape at the same time.(Rihanna side profile)

I noticed i get the most attention/hit on when I have long hair so I might start wearing extensions.

>>18382
Hm, that sounds like a good idea. It’s a little difficult to give solid advice without a photographic reference of some sort, but I could suggest contouring your nose and cheekbones to give the impression of higher definition.

You guys complaining is off-topic. This is a health board, I dont see how OP "needs to lurk moar".

The closest one to me was my sister, she had a brain tumor when she was like 10 or so.
Some older people in my family had cancer, it seems to run on my mother's side. Tbh im not worried of cancer as much as I'm worried of alzeheimers.

Someone very close to me has over 50 non-cancerous tumors b-but is there a question you have? A specific one?

I have an interesting story. My grandmother lived with a brain tumor for most of her life up until she had brain surgery to have it removed. The really fascinating bit was that the doctors discovered that the tumor was actually supposed to be her twin sister that never fully developed in the womb or something like that. She was also told that they could run a story on her and make her famous, but she basically told them to fuck off because she didn't want other people knowing her business lel. Well I think that happened some time around the '80s and she had another brain surgery awhile after that, both of them really shortened her life span so I didn't get to know her that well before she started turning senile and passed away.

my boyfriend has had a benign brain tumor since he was 12. he's 23 now and gets it monitored every year or so.
when we first started dating it was really hard to deal with, especially because the first christmas we were dating he got some news that there was evidence of blood flow into the tumor (which basically means metastasis and things getting Bad Fast). He saw his neurosurgeon a week after we got back to classes and he said that something like a 10% chance of permanent hand weakness was still too much of a risk to operate which was a real relief. after that the blood flow went away and nobody really knows why, and it's been calm ever since.
it really threw into perspective for me how I can't take him for granted. I live every day knowing tomorrow his tumor could up and decide to be malignant, and it forces me to realize how anyone can really be taken away at any point. which sounds stressful but is really helpful to me tbh; it makes me appreciate people more. besides, every time I think about our relationship so far, I don't regret it for a second and I wouldn't regret it if he died tomorrow. of course I hope he has some Medical Mystery tumor that never ever does anything ever for the rest of his life, but one day at a time i guess.
(and yes i know this affects him more than me, but i can't speak to his experience obvi).

Both of my grandmothers had cancer,
paternal with liver (who passed), maternal with cervical (had a hysterectomy, still with us).

And my uncle passed from esophageal/stomach cancer.

It’s probably just the ed talking since it works like that. Ending a relationship can leave you feeling insecure. I don’t think weighing yourself would be the best idea if you’ve had an ed in the past.

May I ask what triggered these feelings to come back?

>my weight would be inaccurate now since I obviously ate today, it's 11 pm where I live

Only someone with an ED would think like this. This strikes me as an odd thing to say. It's probably the ED talking. Stay healthy.

>>18355
Yeah, you're right, I've avoided weighing myself like the plague for the whole time I've been recovered, so starting again probably will easily bring me down a bad path.
Honestly, I think what triggered it is that I want to find someone else to have feelings for and move on as fast as I can, and I guess my ED having brain thought that losing weight will help the process. I also was kind of feeling insecure about how much junk food I've been eating lately, because for some reason in the past couple months I often don't feel hungry, and then when I do, I only want specific foods which are typically "junk".
>>18356
Thank you for pointing out that it's not a normal thought. I wouldn't have even considered it to be outside of the norm, which is probably bad. So that opens my eyes.

i feel similar nona. im "recovered" now but when i look at myself in the mirror i feel like my thighs are huge and i must be considered at least chubby. but everyone says i am at a healthy weight. so idk

All you lucky bastards pooping the first time you wake up. It takes me 1-2h to feel the urge to poop after waking up. So I make myself get up at 6-6:30am just so I can leave the house on time to get to work.

My routine:
>alarm rings
>immediately get up by turning lights on
>spring out of bed and go cook breakfast
>boil hot water for tea or coffee
>drink gallons of water to hopefully encourage body to shit
>eat breakfast
>still don’t feel like taking a shit, drink 3-4 cups of coffee/tea while browsing imageboards
>maybe post something (like I’m doing now)
>maybe read a book on some mornings while I wait to poop
>finally have to go
>still on phone on toilet
>take a shower

Try getting some movement in the morning like going for a walk or doing some squats.

I have the same issue
>feminine jfashion styles
You can start by dropping this and dressing more mature. You don't have to dress matronly, but simple things like ditching bows, wearing more fitted longer skirts and coats and changing shoes really make a difference. I found that combining medium/high-range designer "adult" items (like LV Alma bags, Stuart Weitzman shoes, etc) with "cuter" feminine clothes makes you look more adult and put-together while still maintaining your overall style.
Makeup makes a huge difference too. I found that, contrary to what I thought would happen, bold lipstick (like bright red) makes people mistake me for younger more often. Look at normie western influencers and see what they're doing, sharper arched eyebrows, dark eyeliner especially in the lower lashes or the millennial "cat eye" can age your face quite a bit.

i'm in the same boat as you at 21, i don't really have any solutions besides what above anon said. if you want to look mature, don't accentuate the things that make you appear young. but yeah, people so often assume i'm 16/17 that sometimes i want to say i'm that age for the lols. i do think the way you carry yourself makes a bit of difference, i think sometimes that if i acted more confident and sure of myself it might lead people to assume i'm older but it could also have the opposite effect

I'd like to know as well. I still look 14 and I feel like only pedos and other creeps are attracted to me. People tell me I should be glad I look younger but I feel like I can't be taken seriously because of it.
