Dear Doctor Love - My Friend has a gross habit

 LETTER 2

 


  

Q

Dear Doctor Love

I have a good friend at school and we get on great. She’s been there for me this year when I had stuff going on in my family, but she’s started doing something that is gross and makes me feel sick to my stomach. I don’t know how to tell her to stop, or even if I should just stop being friends with her. She eats a lot of junk and has quite bad skin and lately she constantly squeezes her pimples and then eats it. It’s so disgusting and I can’t take it much longer.

Gross friend

Dear Gross Friend

This sounds really difficult and conflicting. It is NEVER easy to tell someone when they have a habit or issue that we don’t like, but it’s really important to try rather than just pull away from them. It sounds like you have a very good friend here and they are hard to find.

A good place to start might be to ask your friend if everything is going okay with her. You could say you’ve noticed her picking her face a lot which can be a sign of being anxious and you wanted to know if there was anything you could help her with and see if that starts the conversation.

If you’re not comfortable being so forward, you could think about how you would like to be told if someone were raising an issue with you. Perhaps you could suggest you both go get a facial and then ask the beautician about good skin care. Ask her about what can happen if you squeeze pimples and get them infected or something along those lines to alert her to the issues with it.

If all else fails, you might have to tell her plainly that you are finding it a hard thing to deal with in your friendship and see if it’s something she is aware of and can change.

Sincerely, Doctor Love

Dear Doctor Love - I'm a Smutty Book Addict

LETTER 1       Q Dear Doctor Love I’m a smutty book addict. The more spice the better but when I read at work during my lunchtime, I can’t help looking at the men around the office and the bulge in their pants. A couple of times I’ve gotten a real good look and then had so much tension and buzzing in my crotch I’ve had to go to the bathroom to get myself off just for some relief. I feel like I can’t stop though because my life is actually really boring in every other way. This feels naughty and fun. Should I be doing stuff like this in the workplace though? Being Naughty     A   Dear Being Naughty There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a smutty book lover or enjoying looking at men, but I would say you need to be respectful about your interactions and try to limit them – and your bathroom visits - in the workplace. There’s nothing wrong with daydreaming or ‘getting yourself off’ but work might not be the best place to
