If I temporarily deactivate my Twitter, will I lose my big followers?
My account has been compromised by some kinda third party website, and keeps dming, tweeting, and following people for me. Someone told me if I deactivated, changed my password, and reactivated again, it should work. I ve already tried to disable third party sites, but nothing is working.
The only problem is that I have a few follows from famous people that I m afraid to lose if I deactivate? What do I do?
2 AnswersOther - Internet4 years agoIs it possible for a Canadian to get a nannying job in New York?
I'm taking a year off from school, and my mom suggested looking into nannying abroad. I'm 18. Is it realistic to look for a job in NYC as a Canadian? Are there job programs I can go through? It would only be for about 6-8 months.
2 AnswersNew York City5 years agoI'm having memory lapses, but I'm only 18?
My dad mentioned a conversation we supposedly had from a few days ago, and I have absolutely zero recollection of it happening. Everyone else seems to remember it, and the subject of the conversation doesn't ring a bell to me either. I've had troubles telling the difference between dreams and memories before, but the thing is, I'm barely 18.
My family is acting like I'm crazy, but I'm really worried. What could this mean?
3 AnswersDream Interpretation5 years agoMy mom doesn t respect me because I m internet-popular?
I love my mom and she loves me, but she resents everything I do. She hates the music I listen to, she hates the people I like, she doesn t approve of my life. I have really popular social media accounts, and she gets angry whenever I use them. Because of this, I have a lot of good internet friends, and she hates all of them Any time my phone buzzes, she rolls her eyes in disapproval.
She even told my little brother, that my use of social media makes me "unwell" and he shouldn t talk to me. Just because I use social media, and have lots of friends on there. I have lots of friends in real life too, but she doesn t even believe me.
Before I started using Tumblr and Twitter frequently, I was down in the dumps, but it s actually really positively affected my mood. It s even helped me to become more social in my real life, believe it or not, but she thinks it s a waste of time. I m 18 and can make my own decisions, but I feel the need for her approval, and not earning is making me really sad. What do I do?

2 AnswersCredit5 years agoCan I cut my hair and still blend my extensions?
My hair is medium length - long right now. I just bought 20 inch long extensions for those times I want to have ultra - long blonde hair. I was thinking about cutting my hair up to my shoulders or maybe a little shorter, like a bob. Would I still be able to nicely blend my extensions?
2 AnswersHair5 years agoMy mom (and dad) disowned me and said they want me to leave home?
My mom and I have never gotten along. I'm very mentally ill and hate myself. It puts a strain on all my relationships.
I'm finishing up grade 12 next month. I lost weight in Dec & Jan, so we found a slimmer fitting grad dress.
I tried it on today and it didn't fit all the way. My mom kept on saying, "I knew it wouldn't fit." which hurt my feelings, so I said she was lying. She was already angry at me, because me and my best friend got into an argument. She thinks I'm being stubborn and not making up with her. My mom is also upset, because recently I went apartment hunting with a potential roommate. My parents are always saying, "You can move out when you're 18" as a threat, so I just did what I thought they wanted. I decided to stay at home for school instead, which was what they actually wanted.
Anyway, my mom got very mad at me and started screaming and crying. She told me to get out, so I went to my room. Later she came down and said, "Take your money, you can waste it all, I don't care. When you turn 18, you're out of here. I don't want you around anymore." I started crying and she called me manipulative.
Just to be clear, my parents have always sent me to good schools, fed and clothed me, never hit or verbally abused me, nothing. I have fits and rage and anxiety attacks frequently. That's why they're done with me.
I'm especially upset because my mom is leaving for a trip tomorrow. What if she dies or never comes back? I can't stop crying. I have no one. Please help me.
3 AnswersFamily5 years agoMy ex-bestfriend has some of my stuff and I need to get it back? Help?
I lent my ex-bestfriend my favourite books awhile ago, before I realized she's a horrible person and a backstabber. I also bought her this really pretty friendship ring for her birthday (she was going to do the same for me but didn't, BIG SURPRISE). I want it ALL back, if not the ring, than at least the books.
How should I go about contacting her for it? Last time she tried reaching out to me (to mooch off of me as usual), I finally took a stand and ignored her...this was about two months ago. It was a mistake, because I need my stuff back! I know this sounds so stupid, but please help?
2 AnswersFriends5 years agoMy best friend is dating a jerk, what do I do?
I know a lot of people will say "Don't get involved" but I can't stand it. My friend we'll call Gina, and I got really close over the summer. We always refer to each other as best friends.
Anyway though, she's been dating this guy recently and I thought he was nice at first but now I'm not so sure.
First off, he's super pretentious. I've talked to him a few times and he called my interests "generic". Next thing, he told Gina he wants to be in an open relationship despite the fact that the spend all this time together...and then his ex-girlfriend is always sleeping over at his place. And Gina feels uncomfortable about it but he doesn't care.
Another thing is, she always has to work around his schedule and this ruins plans for us a lot of the time. Then she'll invite him along. I just want to spend time with HER. He never comes anyway though, he thinks I'm too stupid to hang out with them.
He's always cold and irritable, and his excuse is that his father was like that towards him. There's a bunch of other crap, but anyways...what do I do? I can't stand to see her being dragged down by this guy.
3 AnswersSingles & Dating5 years agoI can't lose weight? Please help?
I was a really, really skinny child and couldn't gain weight growing up, so I ate ALL the time. Not the best food either.
When I hit puberty, I got it all - butt, thighs, boobs, hips...and stomach. I've been vegan for almost 3 years so I lost weight after starting a veg diet, but I'm still feeling overweight now.
I have school and a full-time job, so it's basically impossible for me to work-out. Even so, I walk everywhere to travel and eat really well (my parents are vegan health nuts). I used to overeat, but all I eat now is basically vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and a few carb-heavy things (brown rice, sometimes pasta, multigrain bread).
When I eat out, I usually get things like salads, soups, vegan sushi...nothing fried or gross.
I don't understand why I'm not skinny. I went to the doctor last year when I was at my heaviest (I went through a depression and was eating a lot of calorie dense crap), and she told me I was a perfect weight for my age, but I don't believe it.
I asked my mom to take me to the doctor, but she told me that I'm not overweight so I shouldn't do it, and even if I was a doctor would just tell me to exercise and eat better.
I know the solution is exercise, but I truly don't have time. I'm already eating healthy, so I can't alter my diet. My dad's side of the family is overweight and diabetes is common, so it's probably genetic, but I'm graduating this year and want to look good in my grad dress (I know it's stupid). Please help?
13 AnswersDiet & Fitness6 years agoWhat hair colour is most suitable for me?
My natural hair colour is mousey brown, but I used to be a natural blonde. Pale skin with red undertones, blue/grey eyes, round face, etc. What should I colour my hair? Just looking for suggestions. Pretty much open to anything (it's a faded reddish brown right now). Thanks in advance.
2 AnswersHair6 years agoIs it possible to lighten my hair without bleach or highlights?
My natural hair colour is mousey brown, it used to be dirty blonde, and before that blonde-blonde. I dyed it dark brown months ago, and it's faded to a light reddish-brown (despite me asking for no saturation). Tomorrow I'm going to the salon and I was wondering if it'd be possible to lighten my hair to a dark blonde without any bleach or highlights? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
2 AnswersHair6 years agoPros and cons of short vs. long hair?
My hair is almost past my boobs and light brown right now, but I'm thinking of cutting it for a change. I was thinking shoulder length, maybe longer, and dark blonde (kind of like Chloe Moretz; I attached a photo). I have a round baby-face, and heard this hairstyle is really flattering on all face types.
I'm really torn between growing my hair out longer or cutting it instead. Pros and cons of short hair vs. long hair? Would really appreciate it!
5 AnswersHair6 years agoHow to shape/fill-in my eyebrows so that they look natural?
So, I usually fill in my eyebrows with brown brow liner (actually it's technically eyeliner but whatever) because although my eyebrows are thick enough they're too light. My friend told me that brow liner prevents eyebrow growth and it doesn't really look very natural either. So, how can I make my eyebrows look darker/thicker but also more natural? If anyone has advice or ideas I would totally appreciate it. Products and tricks, ANYTHING would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
1 AnswerMakeup6 years agoMy job as a cashier is affecting my mental health?
I know this probably sounds pathetic, but I can't take my job as a cashier anymore. There are three of us girls (all in our late teens) who are given out the most shifts, because everyone else books days off. I work about 40 hours a week, usually getting one or two days off. I need the money desperately.
I have OCD and BDD on top of being extremely introverted. There aren't many jobs out of customer service for 17 year olds. Interacting with people and constantly having to smile and be polite when I'm crying myself to sleep is so exhausting. I have things going on in my personal life that I can't shake off.
I get hit on at work by older men, consistently. They ask my name, and call me things like, "sweetie", "dear", "baby", "little girl", you name it. I find it extremely degrading but can't do ****, so to cope, I just smile and don't say anything back. Today, my head cash and manager told me that a customer complained that I "ignored" his "small chat" (i.e., hitting on a girl 50 years younger than him), and I'm too quiet, or don't smile enough, which equates to bad service. I just straight up told them about my OCD, and got sympathy, but talk about embarrassing.
The point is - I'm exhausted and scared I'll get fired. I don't know what to do anymore. If I do get canned, my parents will be so angry with me, as they pressured me into getting a job too. Please help?
3 AnswersMental Health6 years agoIs this weird? Am I obsessed?
I have listened to this one song for literally 1,800 times, and that's just on my Mac, when I've listened to the whole thing. I've listened to it about 3,000 times on my phone. I've been obsessed with it since March. Is this weird? I've had OCD since I was 8, but it's not like I feel that I "need" to listen to it, I just really love this song. Honest opinions?

6 AnswersPolls & Surveys6 years agoI think my little cactus is dying, please help?
I've had my little cactus for less than a year. She's put in direct sunlight and I take very good care of her for the most part, which I say because I think she's dying. She's turning slightly brown and looks a little rotten. I've been told it's because I over water her, which I think might be true. Tips and advice on how to save her? I know it sounds silly, but I've grown pretty attached and don't want her to die.
3 AnswersOther - Home & Garden6 years agoWhy would he do this?
Without too many details - the guy I like, found out I was trying to get over him because a long time ago he told me he doesn't want to date. But when he found out I was trying to move on, he suddenly started talking to me and flirting with me again. Any thoughts as to why?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating6 years agoAm I his plan b?
I've had a really huge crush on this guy for over a year now. We used to flirt around a lot and he asked me if I had a boyfriend but neither of us made a move. Anyway, one day he stopped talking to me and I didn't know why, so I told him months later that I have feelings for him. He got really nervous and said we should stay friends.
But this year has been different. He talks to me more seriously than he does with the other girls. He's been defensive of me a few times too. But the way he acts completely contradicts everything else he does.
He flirts with every girl, which admittedly makes me jealous, so I'll ignore him. That makes him want to talk to me. But otherwise, he won't. He won't talk to me for a long time and then he'll text me, we'll talk for a few days, and then he's gone again.
One of our mutual friends who's known him for longer than me says that's how he acts with girl, and in the past when he finds out someone likes him, he'll decide he doesn't want them any more, or he'll get too scared. Or he'll date them, but he sucks at communication. She says I'm being used as his plan b. Do you think it's true? He's always giving me these mixed signals, hurting my feelings without even realizing it and playing with my head. Advice?
