You have no right Saying you have a tough relationship with your parents when you constantly talk about how good you got it with them
RIGHT,,, LISTEN THE FUCK UP BC I WILL, AND I REPEAT, I WILL ONLY SAY THIS FUCKING ONCE
despite however much you think you know abt me, you know nothing abt my life, nor can you make an accurate assumption from the things i choose to share
this is exactly why so many modern mental health experts tell you to keep your mental health woes to yourself and avoid sharing them online ā¦ bc of this shit ā¦ bc the internet isnāt compassionate, itās a seething cesspool of hatred
but, fucking none of you have the right to tell me what i can and cannot vent abt, FUCKING NONE OF YOU, i fucking tag my shit when asked and if you donāt like it, youāre well within your right to šŖ LEAVE
i share with you guys bc i found a community here of likeminded ppl who i could seek comfort in and give comfort to, which is what started ābig sis beebsā i turned it into a tag so tht whoever needs my help can get it in whatever way i can offer it, and at first it was fine, i was happy, it was nice being able to be what i never had, my own sister, though one of my fave ppl and amazing, is 30 years my senior we donāt exactly exchange tips on fucking birth control ā¦ not to mention how my cousin sisters who are close in age to me make me feel deeply uncomfortable w/ any of tht sort of thing so it made me honestly super grateful tht i could provide some sort of wisdom for my babies .. it made me happy š however, slowly, as i lost the ability to be online constantly due to lockdown easing and i had to go back to uni, work and managing my irl social life, it took me longer to reply to ppl but iād like to think when i did i would be thorough and actually helpful ā¦ but then ppl like THIS started crossing their fucking place so
what the actual fuck are you on about??? you think just bc iām not constantly doing a fucking soliloquy abt the intense relationship i have w/ my mum means tht i live inside a fucking cloud where all is merry? the lack of intellectual depth is killing me ,,, iām gone ā¦ i try my very fucking hardest to be kind when ppl on anon misunderstand me but oh my goD i cannot ,,, i just canāt rn ā¦ believe it or not ā¦ ppl can ā¦ have good times ā¦ and also bad times ā¦ but just bc they donāt share either or .. DOESNT MEAN THE OTHER ONE DOESNāT FUCKING EXIST
and the fucking post youāre referring to was a rb ā¦ one that spoke to me heavily so i wanted to share in hopes itād help others which it did and iām so grateful ā¦ bc sharing paternal trauma is one i still struggle with and is something iāll probably struggle w/ for the rest of my life as a child of diaspora .. so it was a big deal for me ā¦ so yes, this did fucking piss me off to no end
okay, now tht iāve calmed down, can you please for the love of all tht is pure and good not think you have a monopoly on understanding me just bc you follow me on tumblr ā¦ you donāt ā¦ like ā¦ idk why this is the case like ,,, i rmbr back in the day where i was like 13 and all the cool bloggers would have their personal lives torn into and then theyād deactivate and iād be like !??!????? and now iām here ā¦ and i see it .. i fucking get it ā¦ but dw iām not deleting nothing, what iām going to do is a set a fucking boundary, if you are to seek advice or guidance or whatever, you do so with respect, or you will not get it, thatās it š¤
iāve included a helpful infographic:

šbig-sis!beebās comprehensive guide for the pretty bitch lifestyleš salon edition***
now that iām a hair, lashes, brows, nails ,,, girl, hereās some thoughts
hair:
style: itās very xtina dirty era (so, basically, its just blonde and black lol) and regard to cut, i have face shaping long bangs and the rest is feathered
upkeep:Ā
salon;Ā
once every two months sometimes three if iām feeling lazy ā¦ i quite like the look of overgrown black roots w/ blonde hair šĀ HOWEVER, and this is a big however, this is the only thing where your @ home practice matters more than what they do at the salon, taking level 1 hair to level 10 is fucking gnarly and you have to be ready to deal with it so .. atĀ
home;
i wash my hair once 1-2x a week bc my hair is naturally v coarse and dry and can handle it, i use the milkshake āsilver shineā shampoo and conditioner, my hairdresser gave them to me and theyāre amazing, they always make my hair feel super soft afterwards, but honest, anything will work so long as itās purple and sulphate free!
i olaplex #3 my hair once a week, ik olaplex is a bit controversial but itās done me rly good BUT iād generally only recommend it to you if you have severely damaged hair .. if your hair is healthy you donāt need it š
almost done lmaooo, i then use the inkey list hair hyaluronic acid, olaplex #6 & 7, and the john frieda frIzzzease (literally have been using this since i was like 16) and put them all in my ends and use a tangle teaser to distribute it all over, and last but not least i use the bumble and bumble āilluminated blondeā leave in
as you can see, you need to be on your a game with it bc having blonde hair is high maintenance and itās a lot but i genuinely enjoy taking care of my hair, it gives me an excuse to practice self-care, so, i love it! š„°
price: this is by far the most expensive part of the pretty bitch lifestyle ā¦ the initial appointment cost Ā£130 and then the follow ups for scalp bleach and toning and so on are like Ā£50+ so yk ā¦ not to mention the price of all my lotions and potions but like i said, idm so š¤
!! having asian hair, i MUST insist if you wish to have your hair coloured and have level 1 hair like me, GO TO THE FUCKING SALON otherwise youāll fucking wreck your hair ā¦. pls ā¦ you donāt know the damage you cause to your hair at home ā¦ ik #fight #the #man but for the love of all tht is pure pls go get it done professionally ā¦ leave it to the professionals !!
dying my hair has been the most āimpactfulā???lmaoo on my life like ā¦ i genuinely think itās changed my appearance yk? like i feel like bc iām blonde my skin look so much healthier lolllll and like ā¦ i deffo have a attitude problem now šš¼āāļø JOKING ā¦ am i- but iām adjusting into being a blonde nicely š
need: 8/10 .. itās nice to have someone else wash my hair lmaoooooo
lashes:
style: i get mega volumes with colour (the colours match the colours i used to have in my hair, iāll probz go back to black soon lol)
upkeep: once every 2 weeks
price: Ā£55 for a new set & Ā£35 per infill
i first got lashes for my cousinās wedding as, tho i do love fake lashes, @ the time my mental health couldnāt handle dealing with putting on fake lashes every day (as at tht point this is what i was doing,,, the high maintenance life chooses you) anyway, so i got my lashes done for first time and ā¦ i rmbr as i was having my makeup done for said wedding, the mua said iād become addicted and i brushed it off like nOoo ā¦ she was right, i am addicted ,,, AND I LOVE THEM šššš
however, one thing i need to mention which i donāt think ppl talk abt enough is pls do your research as just bc someone looks good on ig doesnāt mean theyāre all tht and a bag of crisps irl .. as it took me being lashed by 3 frogs (kinda.. lol) to meet my beloved queen and now ā¦ my lash tech is also one of my fav ppl and is always willing to bring my vision to life š but, 1. the first lash tech i was supposed to have triple booked me and two other girls by mistake and then acted like everything was fine and thought a ādiscountā would make me go back to her ā¦ it was a waste of my time and energy, 2. was effective, fast, affordable but the viBeS were off and for my sag moon.. vibes are important to me as i donāt want to sit in utter discomfort for 45 mins ā¦ 3. was an old friend of mine so i had high hopes BUT ā¦ IT WAS A DISASTER.. she glued my eye shut and then had to rip my bottom lashes to open my eyes ā¦ it was a horror of an experience; which reminds me when having your lashes done, through out the experience.. NEVER OPEN YOUR EYES OR IT WILL BURN !!!
need: 100000000/10 ,,, i love having my lashes done beyond words ,,, lashes literally make me feel so amazing and i love how i can literally wake up with big fuck off lashes š¤©
brows:
style: i get my brows laminated, tinted & waxed
upkeep: once every 6 weeks; this one for me requires the least upkeep as since i dye my eyebrows myself anyway, sometimes i forget to go and i only rmbr when my eyebrows are being particularly annoying and then i book an app. lmao but itās the one tht is least maintenanceļæ¼ for me
price: Ā£35
before my cousinās wedding, iād never gotten my brows done ā¦ ever .. so it was a a new experienceā¦ but it taught me i like the feeling of being waxed (just my face ,,, fyi) lmaoooooo, anyway;
need: 2/10 ā¦ my tech is amazing and lovely, itās just something i donāt think is crazy necessary in my life ,,,
nails:
style: builder gel with detailed nail art
upkeep: once a month, my nails grow fast but i cba going every 2 weeks and i also donāt mind seeing my cuticle growth lmao
price: Ā£35+
i like nail tech hopping around my town and seeing what everyone can offer so i usually never go to same place twice, though i love the look of xxl long acrylics, my virgo sun wonāt let me give into temptation so i bought some press ons to allow me to live out my dream (you will see them when i finish designing them š) w/o ruining my nails, speaking of, i get builder gel as i have p decent natural nails and donāt rly care for acrylic & the damage it causes and i like having different funky styles, rn i have coloured french tips with auras and gems !
for those who dk, builder gel is a thick gel thatās put on top of your nails and its just infilled every time, the thickness of the gel allows your own natural nails to grow in strength and length in peace, in my experience, it isnāt damaging at all unlike acrylics ā¦ the thought of the damage tht acrylics cause makes me cringe ššš
need: 4/10 .. iāve never had a bad experience aA, itās just i donāt rly think itās a necessity in my life and ik tht once my nails get to a certain length, iāll get bored and stop lol

Heyyy, how are you? Hopefully life is positive.
Just want to ask you; would you ever talk to some you have previously been in a relationship with? If so why? If not so why?
I'm currently in this situation like I do miss them and I have an urge for them but at the same time my life has moved on.
Thx xxxxx
haiii! honestly, iāve been better, got the booster and iāve been feeling grotty ever since but, could be worse ig ā¦ hope youāre well too tho š
and wellllllll, itās ā¦ different ig? every individual situation has its own nuances .. so .. itās weird yk ā¦ like ā¦ iām currently talking to one of my rancid exes who i used to swear blind iād never talk to ever again (AS FRIENDS BTW .. JUST FRIENDS) .. my whole thing tho ā¦ if iāve liked you and then ā¦ unliked you ā¦ lmaooooo ā¦ i canāt go back to being attracted to you again :// i just canāt so this fear my family have of me going back to any of my toxic exes is like ā¦ completely unnecessary lmaoooo .. so,
in summary,
on friendly terms, if you feel tht you have healed and have both developed and grown as ppl and both feel COMFORTABLE talking to one another then absolutely go for it
if itās for sex ā¦ then no ā¤ļø absolutely not!

Heyyy, hope you're all good. Just wanted to ask what's the best first date you've been on? What advice would you give someone
haiii bb, iām well, how are you?
my best first date was to a japanese garden, it was on the hottest day of the year and we bought food and had a picnic on a cute blanket ā¦ it was rly amazing š
but if i were to give advice iād say: try to cater towards your and your dateās interests ā¦ i always suggest going to a nice restaurant bc food is something we all have in common lmaoo .. and it means you can rly speak to tht person and get to know them unlike in a cinema, etc.. avoid cinemas ā¦ it just completely kills dialogue ā¦

Not helpful and I wouldnāt know how to even ask you for help but how do I tell the person I like that I like them but I donāt want a relationship right now and need to focus on myself
you just did it, just like tht, open and clear communication is key, and if theyāre the right one, theyāll understand š

is there anyway youāre dealing with your stress? asking for a friend D:
LMAOOOOOOOOOO .. i honestly think iām the worst person to ask š
i have incredibly unhealthy coping mechanisms including working for 8 hrs on end .. and i developed such unhealthy working habits whilst in my last relationship as i was so severely depressed as a result of being in an ab*sive relationship tht i would do anything to find purpose .. feel fulfilled some how .. even working until my hands started cramping .. sometimes working through the cramp ..
however; i feel myself getting better very slowly so i do have some tips to share ..
pls begin anything way before itās due .. this way you can afford to do it part by part
pls respect your body .. if you feel tired, if your eyes are closing, just leave it and start another day
be gentle and kind w yourself .. you deserve the love you give to others .. so if you wouldnāt make one of your friends feel bad for not completing an entire topicās content within a day .. donāt do tht to yourself either

Spoke to a guy for 2months n went on a date. Heās been giving me mixed signals since and not texting me as much but insists heās not ghosting me...while he ghosts me. I thought the date went well??
awh angel :( iām sorry, i canāt imagine tht being easy for you :(
i mean .. at face value, iād be inclined to think tht .. heās not worth your time .. but, rn is also a rly hard time for so many of us .. ppl have lost loved ones, ppl are stressed out in regards to sm, whether its education related or work related or just life .. itās a super hard time for ppl rn and it could be that heās just trying to deal w everything thatās going on rn?
i could be wrong of c but yk.. if it makes you feel any better; ask him abt his life and whatās going on for him rn

21 tips iāve learned in my 21 years for relationships
MAKE! YOUR! INTENTIONS! CLEAR! if you do not want a committed long-term relationship, pls make it known, your wants and needs are valid, do not feel pressured into a commitment you are not ready for, if they respect you, they will understand..Ā not to mention; you can always change your mind, just remember to communicate!
do not just assume someone is your significant other .. use your words and TALK TO THEM .. other human beings do not exist for you to project onto them, if youād like them to be your significant other, ask .. they might just say yes lol
less serious .. but if anyone ever asks you to turn on your location for them on snapchat ... donāt . just donāt . trust me that it is an unhealthy tool to utilise .. on either side .. snap is creepy and will let the person who has your location on know what youāre doing at tht exact time .. honestly š© the moment they ask but if you want more of an explanation, it will let them know if youāre asleep... if youāre listening to music.. if itās raining where you are... if youāre driving.. if youāre on a bus.. and of c the last one, when you were last active š just donāt, okay
for godās sake, if you buy your significant other something, thatās great, cool, fine, donāt constantly bring it up over and over again .. whether itās how hard you worked to get it, how much trouble you went through to get it, or how expensive it was... no, just stop .. donāt .. itās so crass .. and i promise you, theyāll probz never want you to buy them anything ever again .. so .. just give the present and Go
IF they make apparent to you that valentineās day is something they want to celebrate... I DONāT GIVE A FUCK ABT WHAT COMMERCIALISED HOLIDAY DO RE MI FAH SO LA LA LA .. you fucking participate.. if they mention valentineās day more than TWICE .. they rly want you to at the very least acknowledge valentineās day w them .. donāt be that āvalentineās day is a commercial jssuejjejwksjd-ā prick, no, friendly reminder that this is why no one likes you .. if you feel tht the person you love wants you to acknowledge hearts day w them .. just do it fgs ..
no. 1 cuntiest thing you can do is to assume someone has free time, no, no they do not, if youāre going to assume anything, assume that theyāre busy, at least this way youāll come across as being courteous when asking them whatever it is you want them to engage in whether it's a phone call or wanting to go out w them, do not think you are entitled to someone else's time
donāt fall for potential .. some ppl just donāt change .. ik some ppl canāt handle hearing tht but iām sorry darling we donāt live in a fairytale world where ppl w toxic tendencies drop them as soon as they see your face, we live in this one and itās not your place to try and fix them
nip things in the bud, ppl make mistakes as we are all human and therefore intrinsically flawed but if any foul play ever takes place nip it THERE AND THEN ..
sometimes ppl need their space, different ppl cope w hurt in different ways so if you ever do upset the person you love, donāt just expect them to accept your apology the moment you feel bad and say sorry ... when apologising to someone you need to give them their own time to process
this ones for my muslims, if a significant other ... EVER ... tells you to cover your hair .. x them out of your life ... nope nope nope .. your relationship w god is PERSONAL .. and the very fact that some ppl think itās appropriate to go abt telling ppl to ācover their hairā is fucking ridiculous.. theyāve very clearly over estimated their own importance in this situation, theyāre not shit .. you donāt need someone like tht i promise
iām a firm believer of how a person treats their friends shows a lot of their character .. if they without any ounce of irony say the sentence āi hate all my friendsā ... do not get involved w them, theyāre bad news, trust me, if they canāt be nice to the ppl they call friends, sweetheart what makes you think theyāll be different towards you?
this oneās for my desis .. pls do some form of a bg check on their family ,,, PLEASE .. if youāre desi yk .. if not idk .. good for you innitĀ
but speaking of families .. this sounds peculiar but ask abt their relationship w their relatives .. donāt just assume tht just bc you get on well w your familials, tht they will too, ask them abt their family, donāt be overbearing abt it .. but ask cordially
i was debating on whether i should include this or not but some of you completely lack human decency so i suppose i have to .. for the love of all that is fucking holy, if someone ever asks you the question ādid you miss me?ā SAY YES .. FOR GODāS SAKE .. you donāt need to get into the semantics of āwell, i didnāt have timeā š« āwell do you want me to lieāļ漚« or whatever else you heartless cowards say ... simply, say āyes, i didā itās something so small but it can make someone so fucking happy
listen, rly fucking listen, donāt listen w the intent of saying whatever you want to say, rly take in what tht person is saying to you and anyway āwhen you talk you repeat what you already know, when you listen you might learn something newā
in a similar vein, donāt assume that just bc someone is complaining or venting or ranting to you tht they want your advice ... they donāt .. the only time they want advice is .. shock horror .. when they ask for it .. sometimes ppl just want to rant, let them, be a safe space
idk why the whole āarguments are normalā thing .. is a thing .. bc itās not and i feel as though itās as a result of such thinking that many ppl stay w ppl who just arenāt right for them bc āarguments are normalā but .. newsflash .. theyāre rly fucking not, i promise you, yes, where there is more than one person, disagreements are BOUND to arise, but arguments? full fledge shouting matches? .. where the both of you are intentionally trying to hurt each other, no . this is not normal, an argument is serious and should be dealt as such, do not start an argument for no reason, idk why being āØtoxicāØ is a thing .. you are dealing w a real person w real emotions ..
love is mutual generosity, you CANNOT afford to be selfish, the moment you become selfish you will hurt the other person, for the sake of god rmbr you do not own the other person, so pls donāt treat them like theyāre property .. itās not a nice feeling .. i only say all this to bring up, another human beingās BODILY AUTONOMY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU ... you either get it or you donāt
REPEAT AFTER ME! anyone who tries to dull your sparkle instead of enhancing it IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!
pls donāt take this the wrong way but .. try to avoid ppl who are insecure as fuck.. insecure ppl will suck the living light out of you ... ik ik i sound mean but youāll thank me for it later .. sweetheart, ik, theyāve gone through tough times and theyāve somehow managed to make you feel like ~yOuāRe gOiNg tO bE tHe oNe tHt sAvEs tHem~ but no .. baby, therapists make good money, donāt do that shit for free, not to mention; oh they will be cruel to you :) -10/10 do not recommend
last but not least, do not bother pursuing a relationship w someone who has completely different morals to you .. by tht i mean if youāre a feminist and theyāre the type of person who slut-shames women for breathing ... yk, as the adage goes āwhen someone shows you who they are, believe themā ļæ¼

Hey beers. Hope youre good. What's the difference between casual relationship and a platonic one ? Or are they the same thing. Oke with your friend and as such. Maybe I'm dumb but i got confused by some of your posts. (typed in beebs but it autocorrected. Gonna leave it in for funny points. Are you okay with these Qs I feel like you'd answer them but pls lmk if its weird)
hey bb ! and lmAo ... wow you rly know me š i mean iām muslim but still itās funny šŖ and well iād say it differs person to person honestly but to me theyāre sorta different bc well
a platonic one i would say is more emotion based, yk? like the literal definition for platonic is essentially loving someone deeply w/o it being sexual lol
whereas a casual relationship .. well is different lol .. i think is what most ppl associate w .. other things lmaO but you know it has the emotional (if you want!) /mental (if you want!) /physical (if you want!) aspects without there being anything demanding or commital, does that makes sense? iām gonna link the wiki page bc i believe it explains it far clearer than i do
but i see where some of you maybe confused when i said that we love each other platonically bc by definition.. thatās not sexual but iāve told you what a cas relationship is too so i understand itās skjdsjhd but honestly itāll vary person to person bc ppl define relationships not the other way around, ygm?
but what i meant is .. i always thought of platonic love as being not romantic, you know? like the love you have for the ppl in your life just bc theyāre them, your parents/guardians/siblings/friends, like that pure wholesome love tht you just want their happiness to never end and you keep them in your prayers so better days eventually come to them? like thatās what i meant lol but once again i will link a wiki page explaining platonic love, as iām sure thatāll explain what i mean far more eloquently, and before anyone tells me wiki is a bad source, be quite i donāt need to listen to you š¤
but essentially, i realised how much i valued platonic love after breaking up w my ex boyf, i saw a few posts abt it here and itās what got my gears turning abt it like .. the concept of loving someone so wholly without it needing to be romantic .. just makes it more glorious, you know?
and so .. even tho i am intimate w š§š½ in whatever way lmao it doesnāt change the fact that the love i have for him is platonic, and very real, i love him w my whole spirit and i want him to thrive and prosper and just be happy, yk? thatās what platonic love is to me š

erm would you date older or younger men? like is your virgo man younger wat is ur take on age gap stigma? i feel like older men are safer because theyre more experienced
iāve only ever dated 2 men lol and the one younger than me was my ex boyf and he was younger than me by nearly 4 months so .. not that big of a difference and āmy virgo manā is indeed younger than me, exactly 369 days younger than me as he has told me .. and so i donāt think we rly have an age gap per se but obvs iām a whole year older than him .. heās 19 and iām 20 and like a whole 72 hrs after i turn 21 heāll turn 20 sooo yk .. iāve dated both younger and older men .. and they both equally suck . but i guess iām not the ādatingā type of person so thatās that :)
but as for my take on age gap stigma, my best friend from high school and i were talking a while back abt the age difference of 19 & 23 .. it doesnāt seem like a lot but we were talking abt developmentally it makes a world of a difference .. like sure 30 & 34 isnāt that big of a deal but .. good god is 19 & 23 is .. like emotionally and mentally youāre far too apart from each other .. and honestly, itās not a good idea .. and iād hope someone of 23 years of age would know better than to date a literal teenager or not, even if theyāre of age, iād say culturally and societally their age difference is far more drastic than the actual numbers but they are as for example, whilst the 19 year old has just began uni, the 23 year old has already finished and could have masters at tht point as well .. like thatās a HUGE difference, and thatās something tht needs to be accounted for
i personally do have a problem w a astronomical age gap bc .. obviously.. as has been said by many before me: this didnāt occur as a result of the younger one being mature but the older one being immature
and .. i understand what you mean abt the experience thing but .. whilst youāre young .. iād have to diasgree .. like they most likely arenāt bc .. if they were safer they wouldnāt be pursuing someone that younger than them, yk? ļæ¼

hey - you donāt need to answer if you donāt want to but I just wanted to know what would you say are definite red flags in a relationship I feel as though Iām about to get into my first relationship but things like what youāve said in your personal texts have scared me and I donāt know how youāre able to tell that a person will become that way Please donāt feel pressured to reply
hey angel! and omg .. itās fine dw abt it ! and yes .. i understand what you mean .. my txt posts abt my ex boyf are so awful . and well iād understand why youād want to know how to avoid that, if possible
beebsā comprehensive guide on spotting someone who isnāt suitable to be in a relationship with you but they INSIST that itās LITERALLY fine
... goes without saying .. PLS address what type of relationship you want, do you want a long term monogamousļæ¼ relationship or do you want something short term and casual? if they donāt give you the liberty to discuss such matters, you know that they donāt give a FUCK abt your comfort and only care for themselves .. a person who doesnāt respect the most vital CONSENT will literally never be good to you
they behave as if they own you .. if they start acting like they know whatās best for you .. even more than your own parents/guardians . if they have a problem w ppl hugging or kissing you even if YOU are totally fine with it???? itās a downhill battle from there, they literally donāt care abt you, they only care abt how you make them feel, like to them, their pride matters more than your safety
they are obsessive .. pls THINK ! do they care a BIT too much abt the ppl you spend your time w? even if said ppl are just friends or better yet, ppl you share actual dna with? are they FAR too concerned over every time you interract with a person who could possibly have an attraction to you? do they feel entitled to your time? bc if they do, this is not a good sign; bc like in my situation after i broke up w him, i blocked him off of EVERY thing that i could remember and he found the one thing i forgot to block him on and started contacting me, and then emailing me and saying that i āhintedā not wanting to be in contact w him anymore .. it literally became harassment .. as if i didnāt block him on everything, ppl as such are so far removed they LITERALLY donāt see getting blocked on everything as what it is, but as a sign to find a new way to contact you .. that isnāt love, theyāll tell you itās bc of love tho but it isnāt, it never was love, it was obsession from the start ..
they insult you .. like for literally no reason .. like rly mean shit thatās uncalled for out of nowhere for no reason .. like theyāre trying to wear you down until your confidence becomes dust and they are the only person that can make you feel good abt yourself .. or like in their thinking .. they feel the need to knock you down a few pegs .. itās so vile .. and men wonder why the get trashed .. itās bc they LITERALLY do shit like tht .. confident women scare them and so they try to make them insecure so theyāre easier to manipulate and gaslight

what are red flags in any relationship š©
honestly, thereās plenty but one tht i believe applies to all relationships imo is if they donāt respect boundaries, the older i get the more apparent this gets.
also, if this behaviour of theirs makes you feel uncomf and you donāt reciprocate this behaviour and they CONTINUE to carry on then šØ no one is tht naive that they āinnocentlyā make a pass at you and you donāt reciprocate and they didnātš± evenš± realiseš± that what they did was uncomfortable lol ..
this goes for other shit too btw so fam/friends/work/edu like if ppl donāt respect your boundaries thatās the red flag and you know what to do
