Should I Go To Uni? Giving You Relationship, University and Social Media Advice | Lucy Moon

[@carolineanne1048]

Lots of love to the person who just got out of a toxic/controlling relationship. I'm four years out of one now, and I'm just now coming to terms with the fact that aspects of that relationship still haunt me and might always, even now that I'm totally over that person in a romantic sense. Give yourself a lot of grace, don't compare your progress to other people who are getting over breakups, and surround yourself with people who remind you that you don't deserve to be treated that way. It gets better. Xx

[@plsgoaway4551]

your hair looks so healthy !!

[@nataliew6979]

This might sound weird but I really like how your hair ends where your top starts 😁

[@lochecke]

Random thought: I really like that you're not using background music in your chatty videos! It's weirdly calming and I often find that music is just distracting

[@rindeer8094]

You hit the nail on the head about implementing preventative measure to help w anxiety attacks. Noticing I'm starting to feel anxiety, acknowledging it, and then diffusing it/distracting myself before it blows up has been so so helpful to me in managing it.

[@dmndsol]

I was actually taking my meds when you said '"take your meds". And that is a lovely top, wear it as much as you want.

[@i123456987654]

i think what you said about their path not being our path was really insightful...thank you sharing because that really resonated with me and is what i needed right now and i'm sure many others feel the same way

[@lauradevereux9117]

Would you say that friendships also have a 'honeymoon phase'? All great advice and i'd love to see a social media video!

[@missholidaygolightly5566]

yes friendships definitly do have a honeymoon phase. for me at least

[@KatieTuttleKaatieMyLaady]

Just finished listening to the video on my commute home I feel so satisfied after listening to this! Like an actual weight was lifted off my chest that I didn’t know was there. Thank you so much for making this video 💚✨

[@kristenmiller1300]

I can't tell you how many of these questions are so prevalent to me right now; I loved hearing all your advice!! Love your videos 💞

[@annatucci7631]

As far as avoiding unloading anxiety on your partner, for me, the answer is unequivocally JOURNALING. When I start writing down what I'm feeling, usually a pattern will emerge and I'll be able to identify some of what's bothering me, or at least I'll get myself out of some of the circles I've been trapped in. If nothing else it helps to be able to look at how you're feeling on paper instead of just inside your head. Anyways, I find it makes it SO much more manageable for me and the person I'm expressing myself to if I've done this first - it helps identify what's actually bothering me and gives me a trial run of putting my feelings into words before I try explaining them to another person. (and another note: I think this can work the other way if someone has trouble expressing their emotions. Spending some time reflecting and trying to articulate your thoughts alone with paper can help figure out what's going on internally, which helps if you're having trouble expressing yourself to people when they ask how you're doing/what's wrong)

[@Anemone81502]

Friendly reminder: You are amazing :)

[@lilredmed]

Lucy you are looking so so beautiful in this video!

[@etouffer]

This entire video was so helpful. I appreciate your view points and how you answered the questions that were sent to you. You're wonderful Lucy.

[@pigeonz33]

You should start a podcast if you havent already! Love listening to your advice/stories!!

[@lauradevereux9117]

She has one! It's called 'the Sunday social' and you can find it on Spotify (probably other sites too)

[@pigeonz33]

@@lauradevereux9117 omg thank you!!!

[@angelicaperez2711]

the answer to the last question was such good advice and something I definitely needed to hear! lots of love, Lucy xx

[@CoachPyroTom]

I realised that I was addicted to my phone and going on Social Media, so at the moment I'm taking time away from it. I've deleted Instagram and Facebook to try and break the habit of constantly picking up my phone. My plan is about 1-2 months while I've got time off from Uni and it's going well so far (2 weeks in).

[@lucymoon]

Well done! Good luck with the remaining time x

[@Mrscoolgrl]

Ahh!! Even though you made this, like, a year ago I felt so much better after watching this. Especially after what you said about everyone going at your own pace. Thank you

[@dominique8230]

Hey, is it possible you misunderstood the last question? I thought it was about what to do when you feel jealous about your current boyfriend's exes. I believe you answered how to deal with your exes new girlfriend? But maybe the confusion is on my part here :)

[@lucymoon]

Oh in hindsight I did didn’t I! My bad, must have been confused 🤦‍♀️💕

[@patelevision99]

Lucy you forgot the poetry recommendations in your description! At 13:37 :)

[@aimeeskinner2590]

Super insightful video as usual! Just wondering, do you get your hair coloured professionally, and if so what do you ask for? It's gorgeous! x

[@missholidaygolightly5566]

This reminded me that I really should limit the time I spend on my phone. It's getting out of hand lately...

[@emmacauvin]

Glad that advice videos are back - I really appreciated your answers!

[@penny3308]

I needed this advice about liking someone because they like you 2 years ago :) :) :)

[@EmilyHeartsCookies]

Genuinely good advice! Loved your honest answers.

[@i123456987654]

i think that's really good advice...just because someone is experienced, doesn't mean that they have expertise on something...there are so many so-called experts claiming to know everything and it's so annoying and tiresome

[@alecy1999]

This is exactly what I needed today. Thankyou Lucy. Plus you look beautiful as always xx

[@zey1351]

can you do the rest of the questions as well?

[@tuehanhhan5271]

I would love a video of you on social media ! Please . Thank you :)

[@elliem3282]

I feel like with the whole “I haven’t had my first .....” situation is ridiculous! I first had sex at 18 whilst most of my close friends did so by 16 but for me it was literally the fact that there was no situation prior that would make me then lose my virginity and what’s wrong with that?! It’s crazy, once I had my first relationship I realised how it literally doesn’t matter which feels stupid when hearing it whilst you are a “virgin”.

[@serenathompsons]

Please do a video on how you edit your Instagram photos! 💕💕💕

[@kalopsia7115]

LUCY YOU ARE LOOKING LIKE A GODESS!!

[@vickisigh2674]

aa watching this video felt so good, like sitting down to chat with a friend! ^^ also your advice for the academic pressure is so good!

[@alexandrafrench]

can attest; was in love with my best friend,,, i did not TELL him but he found out and we talked about it and we're still best friends... he still sends me memes at 5am and ive moved on and i'm planning a date w someone soon! so.. do it, it will sort itself out, i promise

[@shesthunderstormsx]

i found this video so helpful, your words comforted me in a way

[@jaydala29]

Fun fact the honeymoon phase can actually last anywhere from 1-2 years!

[@lizziewilson4522]

this was such a good q and a!

[@fenellawhitehead1035]

Never realised this but you look so similar to Lily James! You look gorgeous btw

[@cori7860]

I personally think it would be great if you couldn't see how many likes other people's stuff got on instagram, just comments. I don't think it is that big a deal for adults and influencers honestly, but thinking about the amount of children and pre-teens comparing the amount of likes they get (even if it is subconsciously) is sickening. They are the ones who will place real value on it, grow up with it being a mark of popularity at school and all that, especially because entire schools follow each other. I also strongly believe that the Explore page should be optional, you should be able to turn it off, maybe it would be replaced with a little switch you could click to turn it back on.

[@mitziisobel8046]

18:20 I think you answered about ex boyfriends new girlfriends not boyfriends exes? Either way interesting question to answer and great vid xo

[@fridaherbst719]

So I had this casual relationship with this guy for like half a year, it was nice, he was funny and we had lots of fun. About a month ago I realized that I reeally liked him and that I was falling in love for the first time. As I told him I wanted us to be official, he didn't want us to be. It hurt me so much. How do I overcome the pain of rejection?

[@wlwcats5810]

you're so thoughtful love you Lucy🥰

[@EntertainmentFan11]

It's been MORE than two years since the toxic relationship I'VE been in, and I'm STILL not over it!!! I'm even starting to feel like giving up on love, as I'll NEVER find the right gf!!! It's HOPELESS for me!!! What should I do?!

[@ivajaric39]

Which app do you use for seeing how long you are online? Tnx

[@mialago3764]

Iva Jarić Instagram will tell you how long you’ve spent on it. But if you have an apple phone it will tell you in settings!

[@Xenchen97]

Such a lovely video! Thanks Lucy :)

[@KnightsOfBellamy]

hair on point mate

[@Ezzii4]

[@iqraaliyah4881]

Really helpful

[@palomabrighton9756]

[@graceoline]

you're so cute and funny and give such good advice. great vid

[@betsyisgreat]

Love what you’re wearing

[@byakuganboy7856]

10:44 funny you should say that, I do have a crush on someone at my work, and its almost exactly the same as you are describing here, except i'm not sure if she likes me. HELP

[@pauline1809]

damn this comes at the perfect time!

[@poorainbowshit2570]

Which Love Island contestant?

[@SARA00151]

What app you using for monitoring the time spent on phone and social media or am I having a brainwave 🤔.. gr8 vid 🙂

[@aimeeskinner2590]

It's a feature on the iPhone settings app :) If you have an android I recommend Quality time

[@SARA00151]

Ive checked through my iphone features .. Notification, control centre and Do not disturb is all i see ther..

[@anabella2570]

on a seperate note: can we also acknowledge how disgusting it is that 18- the first year of legal adulthood- is when people typically start freaking out about being late to having sex? that’s really always bothered me that the assumption is that teenagehood is the “normal” time to have sex? what kind of oversexualisation of teenagers bullshit is that?

[@SamarkandChan]

I didn't quite catch what the timer app was called, can someone answer?

[@SofiaH]

pomodoro :) or basically every app that times 25 min work sessions/5 min breaks

[@Avfosk]

You look exceptionally buff

[@killingece]

💞💞

[@angryenglishteacher]

No don’t do it. For the sake of you don’t do it.

[@loveazlen]

[@plsgoaway4551]

also i feel the top is slightly big on the shoulders ?

[@joguevara7051]

Pixie Princess I think that’s the style tbh
