My body chemistry hates Instant Honesty...

I don’t know, I don’t like instant honesty (I’ve got the one in 2X), I wish I had the same results as many other folks who were successful with this one. But oh my goodness, this was complete disaster on me, it’s like instant drama in a bottle. All, I could think of it probably my body chemistry, cause I didn’t read many reports of people having nasty encounters with ih. OMG it was pretty nasty, don’t think I will be wearing this one anymore…anyways, here is my report on it

Day 1:

1 spray instant honesty to the neck

Self effects: nothing really, felt like normal self

Environment: school (the semester is over so it was all cool, everybody seemed relaxed, we we’re just printing out stuff for our portfolios)

Climate: it was room temperature

Reactions: nothing, I tried to analyze people’s behaviors, and there was nothing I could catch. People just asked how I was feeling, since I had a bad fever last week. I felt like I didn’t want to talk, but then I just thought that maybe I just didn’t feel like talking that day.

Day 2:

2 spray instant honesty to the neck

It was exactly the same as day one, except the reactions I was getting from people wasn’t really something welcoming.

Day 3:

3 sprays instant honesty (1 to the hair and 2 wrists)

Self effects: I just didn’t feel like talking, it’s hard to explain, I felt like I had to be really quiet, I just didn’t want to talk. My friend was asking me why I was so quiet which was so weird…

Environment: friend and me went to the theatre to relax

Climate: it was room temperature-cool

Reactions: So after we bought the tickets for the show, we’re thinking what we should get (tacos or popcorn) and while we’re there trying to decide. The cashier asks us if we wanted anything and we make our little order. So after we get the goodies, this middle-aged lady behind me pokes on the shoulders, and starts lecturing me about natural beauty, she said that I look like I’m trying too hard and that I sound like a slut. I just looked at her all confused and people around me were looking at me/my friend because that was totally uncalled for. That, was not only awkward, my friend was going to pound her so I had to drag her to the theatre room. I couldn’t understand that, event because I was wearing a turtle neck wool sweater and a pair of normal jeans with flat boots and a pair of ugly nerdy looking glasses, so obviously I wasn’t showing skin in a sexy or trashy way…I didn’t even look close to sexy. I felt a bit bad about it for such a long time, and normally I shrugg it off, so hmm…

Day 4:

5 sprays instant honesty (1 to neck, 3 to hair, 2 to wrists)

Self effects: nothing I could recall, girlfriend asked me what the hell I was wearing since I was really really quiet lol (she knows that I use pheros but she) and normally I’m a chatterbox with her.

Environment: school (we had to get more print outs)

Climate: room temperature

Reactions: Well there’s a story behind this one.

So I was feeling really pathetic, went to talk with my girlfriend #2 (she is my best friend - this girl doesn’t know that I wear pheros). And normally, I keep things about this to myself and I have been. So maybe, I felt like being honest to someone? So we’re alone in the photo room. She gives me a hug, says it’s okay, and takes her seat, asks me what went wrong. So I tell her about the dude that I missed out and that my pathetic nerdyness isn’t getting me anywhere in life so far.

This is what shocked me. Almost word to word on what she said:

“Aww baby, it’s okay. I think you need to lose weight. I always wanted to tell you this, you’re over-weight. You need to really lose weight, and you’ll be fine, you’ll be curvy, I think it’s the waist, it needs to be smaller, not that you’re not curvy already…you know what? My husband is a dietician do you want me to get the nutrisystem number for you? Once you get skinnier every man on earth will like your nerdyness”

WOW…um. Guys don’t worry, this one didn’t sink in my brain, cause that was just wrong and out of the box. That was/is the last time I saw/see her. I really couldn’t believe she said that. She tried calling me, but my cell was switched off…I hate drama, and this one was pretty nasty.

After the discussion with her I was in the lab working on my portfolio pieces for uni, with 2 guyfriends who were playing around :roll_eyes:

However, they totally ignored me and we usually hang around together all the time. I thought I would atleast get the bonding thing going on, but nope, nada. I felt kind of weak again. I’m surprised that the instant shine and cops didn’t help that much. (P.S: they don’t know my girlfriend who I just had a drama encounter with…so this reaction from them is really odd)

So my conclusion is that IH just didn’t work for me, I wish I got it in a to-go first before getting a bottle though. Cause now, the bottle is just going to be sitting on my dressing table doing nothing lol. For the most part, I was not happy with the self-effects, it made me feel really weak (I don’t know if this is the right word) for the most part, and I didn’t feel like talking when ever I wore this. Maybe, it’s just my body chemistry, I don’t think I would want to use it anymore lol, I’ve got enough drama so far.

Now, for newbies who read this. Don’t freak out lol, just because Instant honesty doesn’t work for me, it doesn’t mean that it will not work for you. From reports I’ve read, many people were successful with this babe, and it seems like I’m just the odd ball.

Selva, I know I’m preaching to the choir, here… but:

I’d give it another try… but, I’d wait until I was well before testing again. We give these pheromones a chance to work in one way or another by the way we wear them, right? And if you are down and low energy because you are sick, people’s responses to the pheromone will take that road, too.

Remember that these kinds of pheromones are kind of a primer for behavior, not an actual activators for behavior. They just make certain things easier to happen. And remember that people have all kinds of truths and honesty depending on how they are feeling. If your illness is steering people with this pheromone into negative feelings or thought processes, then they are just more likely to express those things… negatively, of course.

Better than Instant Honesty when you are sick is one of the “come take care of me” pheromones, like MX274, or TAH, or Est.

Or… if you want to give Instant Honesty another trial, use one of your sexy or bright social pheromones, and a shot of Instant Honesty on top. That will steer things towards a much better place.

It was the Madonna cone bra under that tight sweater that did it.:open_mouth:

Sounds pretty “honest” to me. Maybe it’s something she’s been thinking and the IH made her say it. Doesn’t mean you need to lose weight, just she “thinks” you do.

Exactly Selva - the IH worked just great - it was just not what you were expecting. Both Tisha, Bella and I have said it - once you spray it on, be ready for anything - even stuff you do not want to hear. It does not mean they are right - but they will speak their minds. The conversations will not always stick to what you expected or your agenda.

I think Diane has a good point - especially combined with what Jim is saying - people will be very honest - and depending on the “environment” - maybe brutally or negatively so. Just be ready and know what the underlying cause is.

Actually your sweet “nerdyness” has gotten you exactly where you need to be in life - in college getting ready for the university and the rest of your life. I know for you attention from the guys is nice and a little romance would be better still but you have plenty of time for all that. Right now focus on school and everything else will fall into place in its own time.

Now - about your wardrobe … lol. :stuck_out_tongue:

You know I am kidding … :smiley:

Hmm, thank you guys :slight_smile: …

chin up sweetie :slight_smile: u know i love u no matter what pheros ur body hates :wink:

i sent u another pm check that :slight_smile:

Sweet MsSelva,

The first few times I used IH by itself I had similar reactions, kind of introspective and not inclined to talk and be social. A long while back, someone here wrote about using it for meditation … it can be good for turning inward and quieting the mind.

I think Diane made a great point about being careful using (especially testing) pheros when we’re in a sick or weakened condition - they magnify what’s there, right? I’ll echo her advice about steering IH with other more upbeat pheros as well. We need to be in the strongest possible position to handle the “truth” we get from people when we wear IH, after all!

… and by the way, you’re gorgeous, and your friend needs her eyesight checked. Just sayin’.

hugs,

Carrie

You may want to experiment with a single spray of IH with other products. For instance

1 spray ih/1 spray ishine

or

1 spray ih/1 spray io

or

1 spray ih/1 spray ifm

or

1 spray ih/1 spray isex

You may find it steers things in interesting directions when used discreetly and then you’ll have a use for that bottle on your dresser.

I don’t know if Instant Honesty would do this, but Beta Androstenol makes me clumsy and forgetful for a while. I really have to be careful when making a mix that has Beta Androstenol in it. I have to put that in last or I risk spilling the whole thing or forgetting what I’ve already put in there. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thankfully, I learned that lesson pretty early or I’d have a lot more pheromones living happily on my keyboard, and a lot more mystery mixes. (I usually mix from my notes.) :smiley:

I think Beta Androstenol is much better for quiet contemplation, or for really nice, meaningful, sensual encounters where I don’t have to be so coordinated, but I want a bit of a mystical or mysterious quality. I think, because Instant Honesty is 30% Alpha Androstenol and 70% Beta Androstenol, it really isn’t a mix I’d want to wear alone out and about where anything can happen. I mean, I can pretty much steer it in my self-effects, but the unsuspecting might very easily get foot-in-mouth disease from it. :roll_eyes:

Diane

Well, I really can’t add much to the great advice given here, except to echo that you’re a beautiful sweet girl and we love you,

Hey I know quite a few hot, sexy nerds on this forum!

Oh, you want the truth? :open_mouth: Here it is - Let’s not discount the fact that some people might just “say things” out of jealousy, with or without, the intention of hurting your feelings. My take on that crude rude butinsky of a women, at the theater, is that she was envious of your natural beauty and charm, sweets. :wink: Your bright light just about blinded the bitch :cool: and she was trying to put it out. I bet on her most stellar day she couldn’t, even hope, to hold a candle to you. I think you just got to her, baby, and that’s how she expressed it. I’ll also add hearing something like this from a stranger like the woman in the theater… let alone a friend, who maybe didn’t realize she was being so unkind…is Honestly hard. And it can turn those harsh/thoughtless words, true or not, to self introspection. I don’t blame your GF for wanting to punch her out. Hell, I wanna punch her out! As for your friend with the “I think you need to lose weight” comment…you can always ask her if she knows a good plastic surgeon. Not for you…tell her you think she needs one, after all she’s been lookin’ kinda OLD and SAGGY lately. :stuck_out_tongue: Yeah, ya think love hurts until ya spray on some Honesty. :roll_eyes: Ouch.

I agree with our friends, when you’re feeling better, try it again. Yes, you can do it, 'cause your a Phearless Phero Faerie! I’m gonna give you the same advice I gave to Reverend Evolver. Honesty/2X is heap powerful. I wish you had started with regular 1X Honesty, it might not have hit you so hard. Because you have 2X I’m gonna suggest starting, again (be brave!), with one spray (until you get a better feel for it/can get your head straight) to the back of your head, away from your face and lighten it up with some feel good socials, as suggested… Shine, P74, a-nol…you get the picture. Now, take a deep breath…get ready for your close up… and :slight_smile:.

Gee, had more to say than I thought…lol.

Rep love,

Bella

Thanks girlfriend :slight_smile: you made me feel so much better.

phiew thank goodness…I’m not alone! I felt so awkward writing this report cause I felt like I was writing what no one else had before!

I don’t know, I may have been sick, but I don’t whine or anything lol, I’m usually still frisky LOL! so it couldn’t have been my negative energy.

Thanks babe! you’re a gorgeous mama yourself too :smiley: She used to be anorexic, so maybe she was just projecting her views on me.

We’ll see if I’ll ever work up the gutts to try it again, but thank you for the tips :smiley:

Thank you for that info Diane :slight_smile:

Aww Bella! You can make anyone smile! je t’aime :slight_smile:

Thanks bella, I really felt awful about this one…cause it was soooooo uncalled for…and second of all embaressing!! I kind of got over it, but weird-est encounter ever. You’ve made me feel so much better about this now! Starting to feel a teeny bit braver lol

Damn girl! lol, she’s just 6 years older than me actually :open_mouth: but she’s lucky cause she has tiny breasts so they wont ever sag!

LOL!!! hahaha! I’ll try to give it another shot.

Yea, I got it in 2X since I’ve read many great report on 4X so I was like wow, I gotta try it in a higher concentration, maybe I’ll get the bonding effect that so many people are getting. Seems like it went down the drain for the most part for me. LOL! Socials and honesty it is…will test that one soon :smiley:

lol! don’t worry it happens to me too! lol

I gotta address this for you, Sweetie.

Bonding in this way is an outgrowth of deep truths and working through them. It is a lot different from the loyal, loving, almost automatic bonding from Est.

It takes courage. It takes the willingness and ability to hear the truth, and take the hits, and repair the damages that have happened to each other, and to learn to forgive, and move forward. It takes an established trusting relationship, so you can do all those things without fear of abandonment or permanent rejection. And it is never easy. (Although Est and P74 make it a lot more pleasant!)

Instant Honesty, in this regard, just facilitates the communication of those deep truths. The rest of it is hard work, and it sometimes hurts in the process. But the relationship-strengthening of the process makes it worthwhile, so worthwhile. It is the understanding and trust that is built in the process that facilitates bonding through honesty.

Diane

Hey babe, I know what bonding is :slight_smile: but I’d like to mention that not every phero works for everybody. Sometimes one phero may be great for somebody else, and not for the other. It’s part of nature, love :wink: Anyhow, I may give instant honesty a try, when I feel like I’m ready.

I think you’re making assumptions here, I can’t really relate it to my situation and feeling to the product. But thanks for the philosophical view though :slight_smile:

Not all the time though. Especially from what I’ve experienced with this product thus far. But I guess it does help people blurt out what they’re thinking.

I hear what you are saying. But I’m not making any assumptions, just trying to give you some information.

Without a reason for wanting honesty, what is the point in using this product?

And you mentioned thinking it was a bonding pheromone. Instant Honesty doesn’t promote bonding by itself. It disinhibits people from saying what is really on their minds, and promotes honesty, that is all. And that was my point.

But honesty is a two-edged sword. Think about how much we don’t say in order to spare people’s feelings. Think about the chaos that would happen if everyone suddenly lost the ability to filter what they actually say, and just blurted out how they really feel. You got a taste of it… think of that magnified with everyone doing that without regard to the feelings of the people they are talking to. Sure, some things would be positive, but when I get one compliment and one insult, which do you think I obsess about? Which one do you think steers the rest of my day?

Honesty is what it is, and it can hurt you.

I only use Instant Honesty for what I talked about above, or to get to the truth of something that I need to know. My husband only uses it to cut through bs in business and get to real motivations. I can’t imagine trying to use this product for recreation or as a social “come hither” mix, and I’d never use it just going about my day… but that is just me.

I’m not trying to dissuade you or anyone from using this product. I just think that because it does work as advertised it should be used with a little caution.

And as for the deep truths, yes it does do that but it is situational. If you set the stage for that it does promote deep truths. That isn’t something that is just going to happen on its own with this product.

I just want to add that tests like yours are invaluable, because they show both the limits and the potentials for the product. If I haven’t rep’d your report, I’m going to do it now.

Selva:
Beauty, thinness or lack of it is in the eye of the beholder. Don’t worry your little head about others opinions about your looks. I think you are absolutely beautiful inside and out. As far as Instant Honesty, well that little potion can be a bitch. One thing for sure when you wear it expect the unexpected. Personally I do not wear it because it makes me feel vulnerable so I stay away from the stuff. Instant Openness does fine by me.

So that you feel better a big hug {{{{{Selva}}}}}.

Love you sweetie…Siren :slight_smile:

Thank you for your insight :slight_smile: I think we are both on opposite poles, but I really respect your opinion. But do keep in mind, every phero will not work for everybody and I’ve been testing pheros for a long time as well. If it has been working for you, that’s fantastic my love, but so far it hasn’t for me :wink: and I wrote down what was on my mind, in my point of view of the product. Everybody has their say, and I really don’t need more lecture on honesty. Thank you for the reps btw :slight_smile:

That’s the word, I’ve been thinking my brains out! “Vulnerable” (I wanted to mention this in place of “weak” but my brain was so fried lol) Yes, I felt the exact same way too, thanks for your support, sugar it means alot to me :slight_smile:
