Good morning. First of all, I want to once more thank everybody for the support you gave me in the confessions thread. It means a lot of for every single one of you to take time to write your responses. My mental stability hasn't healed completely but it never truly will, but things have gotten a little bit better.
Secondly, it's my birthday...I can't believe I made it to 25, yo. I feel like I lost that youth factor. I'm not a little young man now, now I'm just a little man, a pathetic little man (I'm 5'6"!)
---but anyways, even at this age I've got some questions about being a man that I should've figured out several years ago.
1. Is it bad to always use an electric shaver? (here's another confession) I never learned how to truly shave...I mean I've done it once or twice in my life but I cut half my face off each time. So since I was 16/17, I've been using an electric.
I hear it's like, messing up my face, and that it's getting worse. When the stubble grows back it looks like it is "poking" through.
2. This is a bit more...complicated but at my workplace one time during break this one guy was like, "I got a bunch of pictures on my phone of a girl I used to fuck you wanna see? It's on an app that I deleted, I just redownload it and it comes back" --I didn't know what the fuck to say but that already made me feel awkward. He went ahead downloaded it and
Honestly, that made me feel pretty uncomfortable. I'm still new at the job so I didn't want to say anything (I haven't told anyone at the work place). I told my cousin, the same cousin I spoke about in the Ramadan and confessions thread about, and he said that...that stuff is normal, that that's typical "water cooler" talk, and stuff I should get used to. I'm paraphrasing here, but I disagreed with him. Didn't argue with him, not coz he was right but because he's the type of person you just can't argue with. BUT, I think I had every legitimate right to feel uncomfortable there. No disrespect to the guy, I like working with him and everything, but that right there I didn't really appeciate.
3. This last one is pretty personal but, for those of you wanting to find out another secret of mine,
4. What is "interest"? Like, I have deferred my loans again so the interest is accruing, what does that mean? A higher interest rate is bad, why? You have to pay back a certain amount, don't you?
Agh, I probably got more but I have to get ready for work now. I couldn't figure out a way to do a tl;dr so this thread may not get much traction. But I'll be happy for any advice/responses I get. Thanks, gaf.

3. This last one is pretty personal but, for those of you wanting to find out another secret of mine,
other than my latest confession of not being an artisan in real life:
I haven't had sex yet. So yes, I am now the 25 year old virgin. I'm mentioning this because like, I have no idea when it will be, so fucked am I gonna be and how prepared should I be and what not...you know?
