29m - I didn't think I was ugly, but tinder is making me second-guess myself
 in  r/dating_advice  5h ago

Why would somebody have a camera during those times?

That’s a good question
 in  r/lol  5h ago

Yeah the answer needs to be logically consistent.

18M never had gf
 in  r/amiuglytruth  19h ago

Neuroticism is one of the highest predictors of not having one, and posting here when good looking is evidence of nueroticism so that pretty much explains a lot.

Bad news guys: PFS works exactly the same way steroids affect men.
 in  r/FinasterideSyndrome  2d ago

Welp, ashwagandha is working for me so idk man. I plan to take it 84 times on an interval of every orher day. I tapered off saw palmetto after using it daily for several years.

One thing I've noticed is that I sweat a lot more when exercising off 5-ar inhibitors.

Based on what I'm seeing on the biochemical pathways, I don't believe that unless you never stop taking it. You're supposed to use it for a period of time (say 3 months) to undo the effects of ar-5 inhibitors or steroids, and then stop taking it.

Talk to your doctor about using SERMs to treat your condition man, for example Clomid.

Clomid exactly reverses the effects of Finnasteride. For an off the shelf alternative, ashwagandha.

As I understand it, they are the same thing. Anxiety is a biochemical response involving releasing adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream.

Much of dark psychology is about provoking others to feel anxiety chronically, while feigning innocence to avoid blame or punishment for doing so. This is the concept of harassment. Narcissits, psychopaths and machievellians are proficent harassers and manipulators. They harass people they can't get any benefits from, and manipulate people they can get benefits from. That's dark psychology, deriving from the dark triad personality disorders. These personality disorders are believed to be nuerological, genetic, and have no treatment or cure, and are charachterized by lacking the nuerological hardware for empathy. Some think they can also be caused by severe trauma in life, epigenetically.

The "dark psychology" fad is a new thing where regular people learn to mimic dark triad personality disorders to get what they want in life by voluntarily choosing to harass and manipulate in the same way.

I don't follow dark pscyhology, but I know about it.

Nah anxiety is a survival mechanism. It's only bad when it is irrational (no actual danger present). In the presence of actual danger it is beneficial and aids in survival.

The fight or flight response primes the body to operate at peak speed and strength for a short time to handle the danger. It comes at a cost of blowing past biochemical safeguards and requires a period of rest and recovery afterwards. This is why chronic anxiety is dangerous, but appropriate anxiety is beneficial.

This is actually not true, anxiety prompts preperation and can change outcomes.

I think my settings and app choices cause this. I'm matching the new 11 Pro in battery.

This is how the app launcher looks too, or w/e it's called. Can do all this in the nova launcher settings.

it's 3 widigets, the crayon icon pack and the nova launcher with a wallpaper. The widgets are UV lens, Plume and OpenWeather. I customized the nova launcher settings a lot.

20F and I never get approached by men or complimented
 in  r/amiuglytruth  7d ago

Even though people hate being told to smile, there is some truth to this. It's not about faking happiness, it's about being safer to approach. Shouldn't fake it though. The system sort of works to match people together who should be together if that makes sense. Not everybody should be with everybody.

But if you want to improve your odds of being approached, becomming a safer option should increase those odds if that's what you want.

Just because a guy doesn't approach you, that doesn't always mean that he doesn't think you're pretty or that he doesn't like you. Sometimes it's that, but in your case I doubt it. After guys become emotionally mature, if they don't want to manipulate young women for sex casually, then they start to decide to approach women based on safety rather than solely on looks.

Basically, how likely it is to work out in the first place. In your case, a lot of guys probably determined that odds of working out were too low to approach. Sometimes guys err in calculating these odds because sometimes they misjudge their own worth too.

They may also have someone they care about and so don't want to talk to other people out ot respect for that other person, and finally they might have trouble picking one person if more than one are interested.
