I’ve never really had anyone to teach me typical girl things and I’m slowly realizing that as I reach 20 I actually don’t know how to take care of myself and it’s just overall embarrassing, like realizing I am in fact doing everything wrong

I feel you, I was diagnosed with ADHD in January at the age of 19 and I’m still struggling so bad at taking care of myself. But I found that 1) there’s a YouTube tutorial or Reddit post for almost everything, and most products come with some form of instructions 2) it’s okay to ask others for help (including in this group), anywhere from asking a stranger to help you reach a high shelf at the store or asking a friend to drag you out of bed when you’re sad. We’re humans, helping is what we do :)

What do you feel like you’re doing wrong though? Being a woman isn’t a one size fits all thing. Maybe it’s right for you but you don’t realize it

Learning to take care of yourself is tricky and isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s also different for everyone. As a women I find men in good physical and emotional health attractive. If I were to date I need know that he’s person with dreams and goals in life rather than just wants someone someone to love them and that’s it there’s more to life than just romance and it’s important to have that. Hope that helps.

I know these are little things, but I still have no idea how to curl my hair, paint my nails, shave my pubic area, or iron my clothes lol. I was just never taught

I don’t really know how to do my hair or foundation/concealer or anything like that. And my eyelashes are angled down instead of curled lol
