My SO and I are no longer sexually compatible and it's killing me. We already hardly flirt or do anything sexual anyway, but every time I try to talk about a new fetish or something to try to spice things up, they're against it or think it's dumb/not interesting.
They used to be so kinky. I don't know what changed. I will literally try ANY fetish besides shit-related stuff and it sucks that I have no one to do it with or even talk about with anymore. I wish my SO appreciated the fact that they could try anything/do anything to me and I'd probably love it.

I found some inappropriate pictures of my mom in her phone gallery that she took when I was just scrolling through to look at pictures from our trip over the weekend and I feel mortified. There's like 20 cleavage shots and also a really nasty one of her with kissy lips and cleavage and it just makes me sick to look at like I've lost major respect for her. There are people in their 20s who are mature enough to know these kinds of photos are distasteful. She's almost 50 and watching her act like a slutty teen is fucking disgusting and weird. Why can't she act her age if she's going to flirt around with guys?
Do you guys think I'm being too judgemental about the photos?
She's also an idiot who apparently borrowed 5,000 dollars TO this guy who she was fucking who I smelled from a mile away was treating her like shit. All they ever did when she visited him like once a month (he lives an hour away) was have sex and then sleep. He gave her an std too and now she has to go to the gynecologist. She pretty much paid someone she just met to give him monthly sex and paid for an std and surprise surprise, he doesn't want to pay her back. Then she bitches about how she's so poor and I'm the cause of it. She also told me that she did other stuff for him and when I asked her what, she wouldn't answer me which made me lose all trust for her. I don't know what's so bad that she won't tell her daughter.
I'm not sure what to think of her anymore. I just can't respect her if she has secrets and after knowing of her repulsive actions and behavior. All she ever does is ignore me too to text other people on her phone and post pictures of super mundane shit no one likes on her Facebook. I mean literally she took 8 pictures of our ceiling yesterday and we've been living here for 14 years. Nice to know Facebook and acting like a whore is more important than me. Fucking christ.
And I'm sorry if this got a little off track.

Two months ago I found an abandoned kitten. Maybe 10 days old. Barely living. I took it home even though he looked so bad I was scared to even touch him.
I fed him with milk every few hours, day and night. He lived. Even the vet was shocked, impressed.
Because he had lower immunity because of not being fed momma's milk, he got a little sick. Coughed sometimes, nothing serious, but we had to get him on antibiotics. He was getting better.
And then two days ago he refused to eat
He was still very lively and happy…
Yesterday he was too weak to play, not eating, vomiting.
Today he died on my arms
Few hours ago I still believed he could make it. He started drinking water, I fed him a bit, he was getting up to the litterbox. And then suddenly he was in agony. For about two hours I waited for him to die, unable to ease his pain.
I have no idea what happened. It was so fast and sudden. Two days ago we were playing… I can't believe it.
I'm so angry with the world, I don't think I will ever forgive it. It's so so unfair. I feel like a mother who lost her child, I honestly can't imagine getting myself together after this

Do you ever feel like your friend is only friends with you to scout out hookups? My friend has become fuck buddys with two of my friends since I've known him and its wrecked the group dynamic entirely. I just want a normal friend group but no, he feels he needs to get his dick out and poke it in some holes. Doesn't help that he left the previous girl in the dark, asking for nudes when he was ringing my other friend everyday.
I hate the constant posts fuckbuddy 2 makes everyday about "missing u" and "i just cant be around him all the time im so sad" and whenever I hang out with them, they just don't want me there at all. I feel like one day I''l snap at them and let loose alot that I don;t mean. Im just frustrated and confused.

>>202838On Sept 13, our yellow lab mix dog of 7 years passed away. It will be one year. The worst part is there was no saving him at the end.
For years we thought he had vertigo and just gave him ear medicine for infections, then over a week he suddenly stopped eating, could barely get up, his eyes drooping bad. We had to wait an entire weekend to get to a real vet and by then he was legit bones. The moment we got to the vet he started throwing up, having whole body seizures and death groaning. He passed in my partners arms. What was worse or I guess for the good, Thunder(the dog)'s sister was in the room too. I stood in the corner closing my eyes because I couldn't bare to watch his last moments.
The vet said just from seeing his symptoms she was positive he had brain cancer.
I'm not looking forward to next month.

I keep having thoughts about quitting and walking out on my shit job and have once again started talking to my close friends about quitting. It all around makes me depressed because the shit I deal with for not even $9/hr frustrates me to tears, but looking at job postings and thinking how the college diploma I just got is worth nothing and if I quit now I face becoming a NEET when I now have financial obligations.
I was ready to go in tomorrow and leave my 2 weeks notice but I wish I wasn't here anymore, how will that feeling change if I can't find an actual career-type job? It's so stupid how I'm so hesitant to leave when I get paid so little and hate what I do.

My friend, her boyfriend (of 2-3 months, lives in a different city so they see each other like once a week) and me went out on Saturday, got a bit drunk in the park and then my friend had a breakdown. Full on crying (and then laughing), lying in the middle of the road, I even had to tackle her to the ground so she wouldn't jump in front of a car. She's been mentally unwell (ED and psychologically abusive parents, mostly mother) for quite some time now, but she hasn't yet told her bf the details.
While we were trying to calm her down and get her home, her boyfriend told me he wants to talk to me later about her.
So now he's messaged me on facebook and wants to talk about what's going on. I guess he wants me to tell him the details about what's going on, or at least confirm what he's thinking (he has a hunch about her ED, I guess, and he already knows her mother is a piece of shit).
I'm not sure what to do. Do I tell him what I know? Do I tell my friend? Do I tell my friend, not tell the bf I told her, and share with him only what she wants me to share?!
I've never been in this situation before and I'm completely lost.

hm, having dated a guy with a bit of a scandalous age gap (started dating when I was 15 and he was 18, we're still together and happy and shit) you have to look for the signs that he's with her for her age, where I'm from 16 yr olds dating 21 yr olds is nothing new and isn't that big of a deal since its the age of consent and all
but some signs are
>he doesn't feel bad about the age gap or is worried about other people thinking
>he often grooms her, getting her into bdsm or other stuff like that
>he wants her to look younger than she actually is
>having fetishes such as ddlg, he wants her to act like a little girl, make her call him nicknames for him to assert "dominance"
>he likes if she looks younger than she actually is
>he gets overprotective, wants her to isolate herself, doesnt trust her when she goes out
>he accuses her of cheating a lot for no reason
>she's naive, impressionable
>they move too fast (sending nudes after a month, saying I love you after a week, talking about marrying etc etc)
if he starts being creepy towards her, the last thing you should do is leave her alone, teach her whats right and whats wrong, but do it in a knowledgeable sane way, don't call her up or whatever and say "he's only with you because you're young and naive!" it will just make her want to rebel, gather up facts and sources, explain to her what's going on, and tell her what might happen, tell her the signs, suggest to her what she might do in that situation, but trying to get her to quit cold turkey will never be good for either of you, don't back away, just explain to her, stay with her, and sometimes if nothing else works, you have to just be a listening and helper, until something serious (rape, physical abuse, black mailing, etc) happens or they actually break up

I really feel like there's something wrong with me, like for the past maybe 7-10 years.
I think it's depression but I don't want to self diagnose, the best way I can describe it is this:
>every month, maybe 2, I feel sluggish, just robot going through the motions, no real sadness or happiness like everything instead of being on a scale from 1-10, is 1-2.
>but then every so often that kind of feeling lifts off and I feel full of energy and it seems like I see everything more brighter as well.there's way too much shit wrong and I can only vent about it anonymously, too much to fix.
sort of feels like I'm silently drowning but gotta keep up a normal front for everyone.
everyone time I get close to checking out, something creeps up to stop me, like looking after a friend or someone else needing help.
I think if it turned out that the past 8-10 years where I've felt this way and felt like a loser turn out to not be the case and I could of been happy would feel even worse.

>>203040No way to diagnose over the web, or like by yourself, of course, but your symptoms sound like mine, and I have a form of depression called recurrent brief depression (rbd), it's kinda like a bipolar lite if you will. Depressive episodes for me last about 3-4 days (majorly depressed) often, almost always followed by a day or two of vast energy, brighter outlook and a need to get out and do something, anything! Move all my furniture around! Get stuff done!!! After that follows a normal ish month. Dx criteria is for it not to be linked with your period. Meds helped a lot. Therapy too.
It took the bigger part of a year to get dx'ed bc they had to rule out bipolar, but knowing what this is was worth it. Polite sage for… mental health ramblings

>>203086I don't know if my advice would be helpful but I'll try! I studied the same as you and I finished this year when I was supposed to finish last year. As you, people told me (and still tell me) that it'll be hard to find a job that I like and that I'd should desperate search for something.
I know it's hard. It's hard because people is worrying about your future and you worry too and in my personal experience that brought me a lot of anxiety and pressure. During my second year I started wondering if what I was studying motivated me. Sometimes it's hard because we can't like all the subjects, in fact, some of them seem pointless.
>I'd like to have something I know I'm good at, but I really suck at maths and am not really gifted in general. I quoted you because I think almost the same about me, sometimes I feel like I'm not -too- good at all.
One of my friends always compared me to him and not in a good way. I mean, he was -and still- always asking what I'd do with my life, when I'll get a job, etc., just because he thinks that people must be always reaching for something bigger, something important, that if you don't have a purpose in life you're ''worthless'. As I said, this brought me a lot of anxiety because I started to think he was kind of right and I second-guessed myself all the time. Was I that worthless? Would I ever find a job? What if I have chose the wrong path?
One day my anxiety was that bad, that I had to change my mind for good. It's obvious people is going to worry about our future, but that doesn't have to be a reason to make us fear what the future may bring. They're not us, they won't have to work for us, they won't even have to search a job for us! Life happens as it happens and - in my case - had to end my studies this year, I haven't found a job yet and I'm trying, that's what's important right now.
My advice is that you should try to not put too much pressure on you. Try to concentrate on those subjects which you like and think how far you've become, even if it seems too little, it's better than nothing. Try to focus on yourself and hink about why you started social studies in first place, what you wanted to archieve by doing this.

I wish I was born male so badly. I'm not transgender and I don't have body dysmorphia, but I just… I don't know? I never cared much for my gender identity and I was always comfortable doing both "girl" and "boy" stuff. But… lately I'm realizing how much I want to be a man - not in a transgender way though, but born and raised as one. Even though girls are beautiful, I appreciate the male body aesthetic much more and I'd love to have a muscly masculine bod. I would feel much more comfortable both looking and dressing as a man, even though being a girl doesn't really bother me that much. It's like - being a female feels alright to me, but the idea of me being male makes me excited and happy. Is this just my dissasociative disorder kicking in again? Is this just a weird phrase in my life? I want it to stop. It makes me so unbelievably dissatisfied and restless.

i can hardly stand to look at the munchie thread because it makes me so fucking frustrated. the person i'm closest to finally got tested positive an extremely painful extremely rare chronic condition that's fatal if left untreated, and it's been years without a diagnosis so it's uncomfortably close to the fatal stage. he's been side eyed by so many doctors and even told to get checked for munchausen, and the fucking munchies cling to conditions like this because it's so difficult to test positive for in a way where it doesn't usually get picked up by standard testing. i can't help but wonder if if it weren't for munchie behavior being common, would he have gotten a diagnosis sooner and thus be able to treat it when its not close to the fatal stage. I know that might not be a case so it's not helpful to wonder but shit. I just don't know what we did wrong where fucking munchies can get access to things that people in constant agony can't.

>>203214Well, I guess I am mad about it now. I was calm yesterday because I kept myself busy and didn't mind he wasn't there to talk to. If I can't sit and think about it, I'm fine. If I stop and ponder, I dwell and get angrier.
But today I woke up and just got a quick message and looked on discord to see he was at the pub 4 hours after he woke up. He stayed there for 3 hours and then left for after drinks at someone's house it's been almost 5 hours there.
I'm annoyed because it's like.. look, dude. I work, I go to school, my schedule is set and defined and we only have a few hours a day that we can talk. If he doesn't wake up (like last night) we don't talk. If he stays out past midnight (like today) his sleep schedule is ruined and we can't talk as much, or if at all, because he sleeps in as a result.
Once he gets off schedule, our entire pattern gets fucked and I usually end up waking up at 4am to get some time to talk before work. He doesn't ask me to, I do it because I miss him and want to chat but it still impacts my life heavily to do it. If I don't wake up at 4, and instead at 6, I get a few messages in before he sleeps at 6:30-7am because he's usually watching videos or playing games with friends.
I just get frustrated because he doesn't have responsibilities like I do. I'm studying right now to leave to teach overseas in like, 6 months. My life is stressful and needs to keep a routine thing. His life is footloose and fancy free.
I'm probably super salty about that, he has no bills to pay, no job, no school, can wake and sleep whenever he wants but I'm drowning in debt and trying to keep as positive as I can.

You sound like you have a lot on your plate right now, Anon. If you've told him before that you'd welcome a little more attention or messages or simple gestures he cares, you might need to focus more on yourself and wellbeing.

>>203257He's horribly depressed right now, so that makes it hard for him to want to do anything but he does try to put effort into our relationship. even if it's sitting on a skype call while he plays games or watches something, he makes an effort to be present in my life. He even listens to me ramble about work or something I found interesting even if he doesn't know what I'm talking about.
I fully believe he loves/cares about me, so there's no doubt on that end. I think his depression and my stress are a recipe for trouble. I sometimes put too much pressure on our relationship in terms of gestures I think, but he is also forgetful and selfish. After all, we are still young.
Money is a huge problem for me as well, he's grown up poor and so have I, but I've worked really hard these last two years to earn money and keep it. But lately debts have been coming on faster than my paychecks and I've been diving headfirst into my savings without being able to put anything back in.
I think once I can land this new job, my life will be a lot clearer. I'll be earning the same monthly salary at only half the hours, which leaves me enough time to earn cash on the side. I think I just have to keep my head above water long enough to see the ships come in.
Thank you anons for listening to me ramble.

But the fwb guy messaged me again today saying how he wants me to come over for the day thing is he lives 3 hours away which is a crazy way for me to travel to only see him for a few hours and even then I think he just wants a booty call. Which is something I dont do.
And even after all of this he messaged saying how he wants to call off meeting me because he "isnt in the right headspace" and feels depressed. So I have no idea what's going through his mind at the moment.

One of my friends is fat and I couldn't care less except for the fact that he always - and I mean - always, has to complain about everything I eat or how much exercise I do just when he's dieting or exercising. It gets on my nerves. Specially when it's evident he weights -at least- 20 lbs more than me.
He always has an excuse for his weight, and no, it's not an hormonal thing, it's not because of his complexion, it's not because some medication or something like that (it wouldn't even bother me if it was). It's just that he eats crap all the time and too much of it. And as I said, I couldn't care less. His body, his life, his rules.
Now he's claiming he's almost vegan because he decided not to eat meat and eats all the different types of rice or vegetables he doesn't like. I'm glad he's trying to be better in this aspect, it's just that when I claim I preffer burguers over fish, or veggies, he actually LAUGHS at me for it. He shames me for my laziness when it comes to do any exercise, but he'll always have and excuse for justifing him not doing anything and he'll claim ''it's not the same''.

About 6 months ago I let a friend of 15 years manipulate me into moving in. 2 months ago again, allowed myself to be manipulated into signing the lease. The only space in the house that has any of my belongings is my room and a shelf in the bathroom. The rest of everything else belongs to my roommate. Recently, I received a text "I'm going to say this once more. I don't feel like you want to contribute to the house including its cleanliness and safety. This is from more than just eclipse prep and week. I think we need consider if you really want to live here at all. The way you act at home affects everyone in it. It causes both of us stress we don't need and I don't think we are compatible as roommates. We should talk about this in person sooner rather than later. "
To me, that sounds like - you're incompetent and I want you to move out. So I responded basically - I'll do me, you do you.. I'll try and look for another place to live but I'm broke and you know that.
I come home the next day to all of the gifts I've given over the years set in front of my door and a list of 12 household rules - including labeling food I put in the fridge on the shelf that was just cleaned out, keeping the toilet lid down, and cleaning parts of the house I've NEVER used weekly.
I understand that my roommate is frustrated at me keeping to myself in my room. And even turning the worst anxiety attack I've ever had, lasting hours and having the paramedics called I was so scared, into a personal slight against my roommate. I never asked to be cleaned up after and left to my own devices I do clean up after myself, just not in a timely enough manner I guess.
Now, the SO and SO's dog are there…likely to intimidate me. The SO has a history of violence when drunk…and is usually plastered…has threatened me and made me feel uncomfortable in my own home. The SO's dog attacks mine all the time and, while my dog is bigger, I'd my dog were to retaliate and hurt the little dog it would be my dog's fault.
Now I'm stuck in a hell of my own making, living with someone that believes themselves to be better than me and trys to control me… And it's all my fault the friendship was ruined and everything else is my fault too.

>>203599when I was 16 and pll came out I had the biggest crush on ezra, I still do anyway, but he is portrayed in a way where aria lied about her age , so he assumed she was around his age and fell for her, hence why he couldn't stay away when the truth was revealed, as well as when he went for allison when she also lied about her age, but most of the other women in the show he has been with were all around his age , his attraction never really seemed villainous to me because it's not like aria or allison were wayyyyy younger like 11-12, and they could both pass for adults, and in some places like the uk, russia, canada, some states in the USA, the age of consent is 16, in pennsylvania, people between the ages of 13-16 can be with someone as long as ig they are not more than 4 yrs older than them
this may be kinda biased coming from me though, since I dated an 18 yr old at 15 and I'm still with him (I'm 18)
No. 203621
>>203614yeah, you're definitely biased. i dated an 18y.o when i was 15 and its creepy because hes an adult and i was a child

Also spoiler alert omg i didnt know ezra dated ali !!!! im only on season 2
No. 203622
>>203621Wut, she lied about her age when they first met, or manipulated it to make it seem that she was older, when they were talking about going to college aria said "im leaning toward english" when talking about her major
I honestly don't think 15 and 18 is THAT bad, but it could definitely be suspicious, since in most places 16 is the age of consent its only one yr off until they reach that age maybe less, putting it in high school terms, its like when an average freshman or sophomore dates a senior, 3 yrs isnt that much, and 18 is legally an adult but keep in mind 15 and 18 is still teenagers and theyre both as hormonal and angsty as any other teenager
However, i think in situations where this would be bad is when its clear that the person like the teen for the sole reason because they're young, not if they actually liked them, and if they like if the 14-17 yr old already looks like a child then yes its reaching pedo territory, however, if the 15+ yr old looks older than they are or like a normal person of that age, and someone thats 18 likes them and dates them because their personality and stuff then I dont see why its a big deal

>>203669I agree, I love this series and I'm actually so bummed out that this is the direction the show is going.
A lot of the characters have become caricatures of themselves. Like they took what people liked about them and made that their entire character. Arya was always a badass but she was also just a kid and really relatable. Now she's just this flawless, impossibly strong, completely insufferable psycho. And they can't go one episode without the Hound saying cunt or someone talking about cocks. It's so fucking annoying. It's become so bro-y.

Like okay, but why had the situation to be so ridiculously stupid? Or Jon Snow and Dany… "BOOM WERE FUCKING NOW"Or how they killed of or send away all of the dire wolves from the stark family "because we couldnt have portraited them accordingly" more like bitch you didnt want to spend more budget on themCersei starts to become my favourite character too afterall because at least she is still that crazy cunt that she is.I just hope the last season doesnt become as shit as the recent one.

He would need to have the story finished by now so it could be published or at least used for pre-production.
But if the books were ready, the producers of the series wouldve used it.
>>203669>I hate Jon SnowI agree. He became a boring twat. I couldnt even think of a way to make him more interesting again.
This is only a fan theory, but I think
Daenerys will have become pregnant from the one fuck they had, and Jon Snow wont touch her again, after hearing the news about her being his aunt. The series will end with Jon snow being the new night king. Like it is either a curse and he has to take the night's kings place after killing him, OR, the night's king kills him but dying doesnt turn him into a white walker because of whatever reasons, but into something like Benjen stark and he will then proceed to lead on the white walker army beyond the wall, causing him a life in lonelyness north of the wall, all alone, far from anyone else. The son of him and Dany then proceeds to take the throne, after they kicked Cersei off. Or better yet: Their son and Cerseis daughter marry and thats how they "defy" her. I know nothing though and this is pure speculation and wild fan theory.

>tfw I type out a huge vent but then delete it partly bc it's out of my system but also partly bc I'm paranoid that the bitches I mention may browse here and know who I am bc the vent is so specific
Oh well, I can least vent about my soul-sucking job that made me cry tonight, right?
I work at a call center. Side story is that despite making me miserable, it has a lot of perks, benefits, and is also a globally recognized brand.
I'm a peon who makes a shit wage but everyone thinks I have this exciting, professional job just bc of the brand I work for and the romanticizations of what I (don't) actually do. I'm too insecure to leave it out of fear that I won't find something better.
On top of that, there's a lot of unprofessionalism/incompetence/lack of training among my coworkers–namely from 'resolution' agents that act as my 'supervisors' on the phone when I need help with something.
Tonight I got stuck in a 2 hour call that went an hour over my shift end time. All because I was getting inconsistent, condescending 'help' from these 'resolution' twats. Low key I was working on something super complicated, and they didn't want to deal with it personally bc they're lazy shits. I sound young and nice over the phone, so many tend to brush me aside and think they can treat me as if I'm a naive dumbass–whatever it takes to get me off their line.
Anyway, what should have been a 30 minute call turned into 2 hours just because I had to keep making calls back and forth to verify/change certain information–partially the fault of the indecisive customer and her weird requests–but mostly because the resolution agents gave me wrong info.
I further got stuck with a financial agent who thought they had the fucking authority to act like a supervising agent when their only job was to calculate a number and store the information in the record I was working in. I may report that to my actual supervisor because holy shit that made me pissed. Considering the agent was fucking wrong anyway and wasted my time with her own little proofread of the work that already passed by THREE FUCKING RESOLUTION AGENTS.
And did I mention: That the time I'm on hold with the customer while these bumbling pricks don't listen to me, fuck with irrelevant shit, and go off on tangents actually negatively impacts MY agent stats?
I had another dipshit resolution agent earlier in my shift who could barely be assed to submit a detailed receipt request for a customer. Just because that would have required him to make three pseudo records and queue it to a desk that does the work for him, oh no!
He tried to play fucking dumb when I came on the line and said that his position doesn't do detailed receipts (they fucking do). He said, "Well good luck with that" when I said the customer needed a more detailed receipt than what could be provided on the website.
He eventually did it, but it pisses me off that he was a lying fucknut about it and tried to get me to hang up by stalling my time for 15 minutes when it only should have taken him 5. Son of a bitch.

I'm just about done here. I've been wanting to kill myself for years but I've always been too scared and proactive enough to choose a method out of fear that it wouldn't "work." I don't have access to firearms or anything like that (but even if I did I would be scared that I would aim wrong and just end up alive with permanent damage.) I'll never contribute anything the world and there's just no point to me being here. I really wish I was a different person with a different brain.
I still don't know what method I'm going to use but I feel like I'm finally angry/sad/tired enough to just go through with it regardless of pain and fear. I don't want to set a specific date or anything but I'd like to live through one more fall season because I've always found it very comforting and I only have good memories of that time of year.
It's funny because when I was 18 I tried to kill myself with hydrocodone. I don't remember how many I took but I just ended up waking up the next day vomiting nothing and not being able to pee for two days, but I just told my parents I was sick and they never found it. Didn't have to go to the hospital or anything. It was very stupid of me BUT I think about it all the time because in the five years since that happened, nothing has changed. Nothing happened in these five years that I would have 'missed out on' if I had died at 18. So it's really a shame that it didn't work back then but I was stupid and had no idea what I was doing. That makes me saddest of all.

>>203880I know how you feel too anon.
I had an attempt when I was 20 which landed me in the hospital and then the psych ward. I had been depressed for years before this, self harming and had an ED.
Ended up being diagnosed with Borderline Personality disorder like 3 years later on my next admission to the psych ward (also due to suicidal thoughts etc.) Left my job with my shitty abusive boss and started intensive therapy (MBT once a week for like a year) and eventually started getting my shit together.
I'm now starting medical school in a couple of weeks which is something I thought I would never achieve after years and years of being miserable.
I'm now 25, I just wanted to say things can change, I never thought I would achieve any of my goals and I'm finally starting to. If you haven't been inpatient or had therapy it is worth a try, it changed my life.
I don't know much about you but your post struck a nerve with me because it's very similar to how I felt a few years ago and you're style of writing is somewhat similar to my own so I just wanted to say that I never thought things would change and they have, and they could for you too, its no longer painful to live all the time.

I've been on the fence of breaking up with my bf for months now. Too much drama happens and then I feel bad for him and stick around, but I'm really getting tired of everything. I don't want to go into too much detail but I basically feel like some housemaid that he occasionally wants to fuck. We've been together for about 9 years so this is pretty tough to deal with but I can't take it anymore.
This past week I've been mentally cataloging everything in our place that's mine. Things I brought with me when we moved in together, things I bought that only I use, or things that were gifted by my parents (who hate him btw). It's going to suck a lot because any furniture I had when we moved in is basically gone now as we bought new furniture together.

i'm really starting to hate people and the older i get, the more i 'm turned off by having any sort of friendship or relationship with anybody. this could be my ptsd talking since i have major trust issues from that, but i really feel like nobody seems genuine anymore. theyre like cold clones of each other who refuse to open up to you or just ignore you in favor of not being their number one besto friendo. are people that burdened these days that they dont have the decency to even respond to me when im speaking to them or what. i'm sick of making effort to try and get close to people when nobody else gives a fuck or bothers with basic social etiquette. if this is how im going to get treated every time, then id rather just sit in solitude and enjoy the peace of not being shat on or completely ignored.

>>204012oh anon. This is a very tough situation. Victims of abuse often won't listen, I know how hard it is to get to them. You need to talk with your mother about it, that what you two experience is ABUSE not some little family fights, that you need to move out, etc. Don't give up, because she will most likely try to push it away, so you pushing it back to her head is crucial

Why don't we let suicidal people kill themselves? As long as they don't have any dependents or are minors, I don't see why letting them die is unacceptable. I guess there's legal issues and administration to deal with if you wanna go there, but what if they dealt with it before leaving? It seems crueler to force someone to live when they don't want to.
Fuck, I'm just saying all this because I want to die but I'm terrified of surviving and coming back retarded and/or crippled. It's also near impossible to get firearms in this country. I managed to find someone selling a barbiturate on the dark web but it was damn pricey and I didn't have any expendable income at the time.
I don't know if things are going to get any better. I stopped taking my medication a couple of weeks ago and I can't say I regret it because I can finally feel things now. I mean I just feel extra shitty and cry all the time, but there's no way I'm going back to feeling nothing.
It seems like I'll always feel this way even if I do 'do things'. I'm going back to uni next year to see if I can finish up and graduate, but I keep reading about how bad things are, and it's not even like I'm purposely looking for shit like that. It seems in endless supply nowadays. I used to think that as long as I could distract myself from being sad and work things through little by little I could get through, but lately all I can think of is dying, how to die, and getting upset when I realise how difficult it actually is to kill yourself. I tried imagining 'coping' and being independent, but it's not like I want a different or better life. I literally don't want to exist. Video games used to be my crutch but I'm losing interest because I feel so pathetic for getting a modicum of happiness from a fictional world.
I just.. what's the point? Even if I do graduate it'll be with a shitty degree that has zero practical value and as a bonus I'll be steeped in debt. I don't have dreams or anything I enjoy anymore, the future looks extremely bleak, I have no friends (lmao), and people are just… I don't know how I feel seeing all the scum crawl out of the floorboards in the wake of the US election and voicing their ''''''opinions''''''. Even as I type this I keep thinking, "bitch?? what the fuck is wrong with you??? stop being so fucking lazy THERE ARE PEOPLE ACTUALLY SUFFERING JFC," and "i don't care!! lmao end the suffering" in the same breath/thought/whatever. I know I could fight, but I don't want to if it doesn't change how I'll feel at the end of the day.

>>204049>Why don't we let suicidal people kill themselves?Because we care for them? Or personally, even if I don't know the person, everytime I read vent posts of someone suicidal my first instinct is to write back "Don't do it". I feel like one's life can always change, so committing suicide while young is a waste.
This is also kinda hypocritical of me because I'm suicidal myself currently, but my problem is my abusive mother that makes my life a living hell so I just need to run away from home. And even though my issue seems easier to solve, as it "simply" involves getting away from a place to instantly get better, it's so hard and I've decided that if in one year I still won't have moved out I'll end myself.

I am so tired of living in a small town full of judgemental old people, fuck.
Recently the doctor has been changed and they put up a young woman in charge, i think will try to get a second opinion from her and hopefully she will understand me better than that old cunt and she will help me get into free therapy, because eventhough my brain is suicidal and pushing me i know don't really want to kill myself, thus why i want help.

>>204055>Pain is temporary suicide is foreverSorry if this comes across as me just sperging, but I really hate that cliché quote that EVERYONE says about suicide. Often times people are suffering for YEARS before they finally do it. Often times they don't have good relationships or resources to get out of the pain either. It is not temporary, and most people who are so depressed that they have suicidal thoughts have to fight it their entire lives, since depression can permanently alter your brain or pop up many times until the end of your life.
The thing about not killing yourself because loved ones will be hurt by it… is pretty bullshit. Where were these supposed loved ones when you have been hurting for the last ten, twenty, thirty years? Where were these supposed friends or family members when you tried to reach out and they blew you off? Where the fuck where they when it came to just casually interacting with you here and there, instead of only contacting you when they wanted to gain something?
Sure, it's no one's job to change you to not feel suicidal, you have to make those changes yourself, but it is so fucking hard to do that. There are a few special exceptions where someone is open about being suicidal for a long period of time and their loved ones ACTUALLY try their best to be supportive, but that is incredibly rare. Most people are too fucking self absorbed to notice or even care if they do know.
>>204049Anon, you only get one shot at this life. It will always be hard but if you can find little reasons to live, that alone is worth it. It is hard to stop feeling as you do when you realize how the world really is. Honestly, for no one other than yourself, you do deserve to take a good look at if you just want to stop existing or if you simply hate what your life is. That can ALWAYS change. It takes a lot of hard work, but we as humans have a great ability to adapt as long as we keep an open mind. Your thought process feels like a comfy crutch that makes sense of how bullshit this world really is, which isn't the best way to cope. Find those few reasons to live, even if it's just one. Whatever actually makes you feel something. And hold on to it. Make an educated decision and think things through. We are all nothing in the end and life is very short, so please chase whatever makes you feel alive. That is one of the few ways to feel ok with existing.

I'm so angry and annoyed that my ex was following my social media on twitter. I have less than 25 followers, and he made up a phony persona to follow me. Same with IG. I don't even know how he got my twitter, but he did. I just retweet game and art shit. I also use it to write my feelings. A while ago I wrote that I love my boyfriend, and on that very same day he wrote something about it on 4chan's /adv/ board.
I'm so fucking mad. He's the one who said that if I no longer share the same feelings for him, that I should delete and block him everywhere. For his sake, I did.

Everybody says time heals things but its been a while since I broke up with my last boyfriend.
We met initially as friends and then after a couple nights of hanging out and talking until the middle of the night, he asked me out. We started with a perfect relationship until things started to fall apart little by little. I realized near the end that he was a master liar and probably a sociopath. He gaslighted me the entire time, and compared other women to me. Last straw was when he cheated on me with multiple women, two of which who had aspbergers. It made me feel like shit because when I found out he told me what positions they did in bed, how he choked her, and how he liked having sex with them more than he did with me. Found out later from other people that when he wasn't with me, he was going off ranting to people about how global warming was a fraud, trump was the best president, and how he was going to start a cult. It was crazy realising what kind of person I had been dating (I still don't know what kind of mental problems he has)
I'm definitely OVER him in the sense that I never want to be with him again, but I'm definitely not over the emotional damage he caused. I compare myself to other women a lot now, and my insecurity is through the roof. Been trying to workout and find hobbies to make up for it but some of the shit he said and did really hurt me for life.

>>204012Is your dad aware that his behaviour is wrong? Does he care? Can you convince him to seek out help for himself and your mother to learn how to deal with feelings appropriately? You could maybe write a heart felt letter to each of them about your concerns.
Does your mother understand that what he's doing is completely unacceptable and she shouldn't have to deal with it? Relationships are complicated but sometimes being in love or the amount of time spent together just isn't a good enough reason to hang on to a relationship. If she is made to feel under threat that is not acceptable and nobody deserves that. You don't agree to be in a situation like that when you enter a friendship so why should it be any different with her life partner?
Making the jump is scary but she'll realise just how easy it is to leave once she's done it.

I forgot what thread it was but someone said that an 8/10 girl with modest dress is less likely to get flirted with than a 7.8/10 girl in more adventurous/ daring dress, I guess it applies in a way that people feel like they are expected to flirt with traditionally beautiful women where as people are expected to respect more reserved seeming women, even if they are more attractive than said big boobied curvy blonde

Without false modesty, I'm good looking, but I'm also quiet, calm, reserved. I get approached, but very rarely, and sometimes people after getting to know me confess they thought I was unapproachable.
Maybe that's the case? How you present yourself?

>>204156>>204221Yeah, I feel that her being an awful therapist, other to her being simply dumb and probably sheltered, could be to address to the general uneducatedness about psychology in my country, and the fact that she looked like she was in her 60s. Young people now have a better education, young psychologists and therapists, although not as experienced as the older ones, have a bigger chance of being good imho. I have an old psychology book from the sixties and it says stuff like "people that masturbate in their adulthood have mental issues", lmao. If a concept like that has actually been said by a famous psychologist, written on a book and studied by hundreds if not thousands of people, it would easily explain why a therapist would look down on a young girl opening up about her problems and dismiss it as "a rebellious teenager". Basically what happened:
>"My mother beats me up, spits on me and only ever calls me names like worthless, useless, piece of shit, whore and says that everyone is better than me, making me depressed and crushing my self esteem">"Damn Anon you really hate her don't you, I think you're exaggerating because rebellious phase blah blah, a parent would never hurt their kids"And then proceeded to tell my mother that I was holding a childish grudge on her.
This shitshow scared me away from visiting another therapist ever again. I know that there are good ones, and a lot of them, I really do. Just… I'll rely on my resilience as long as I can do. I'm doing a good job so far, let's see what happens.

Finally became financially stable, want to start a family now. I have worked my entire life to finally make enough money to do this, I've put off (or been denied) relationships until now, I'm a virgin while most women have already fucked tons of guys, but I can compromise on that.
My main problem? I don't want to get divorce raped. Women can cheat in a marriage and face no legal punishment, they can divorce for any reason because of no-fault divorce laws.
In the divorce she would likely get custody of my children, get my house that I paid for, and get child-support/alimony payments. Then use this money to fuck other guys.
I'm being completely serious, this would make me angry enough to literally kill her, my entire life would be ruined, I would literally take a gun and kill her.
Modern American women are highly likely to cheat or divorce, there's a better chance of it happening than not. Prenups do not work (Judge can nullify a prenup if they want), and a prenup cannot decide who gets custody of (hypothetical) children anyway.
The only solution I can think of is that I will not marry or have children with any woman unless she fully believes that I will literally kill her if she tries to screw me in a divorce.
I will tell her, I'm ok with her divorcing and taking nothing, but if she tries to get custody of my children, the house, or my money, I will literally kill her.
I will not marry her unless she fully believes this, and is okay with it. I have thought a long time about this, and I can't think of any other possible solution. What else could I do? I don't even find this unreasonable, surely you women understand that it's extremely risky for men to marry women or have kids with women now right?(USER HAS BEEN PUT OUT TO PASTURE)

I'm tired of people around me being unhealthy as fuck and just reeling me into their pity parties around it. Especially when I try offering advice and they just discredit it even though I know what I'm talking about. I feel like this is happening more frequently once I started whipping myself in shape through diet and exercise.
A few of my friends are overweight and it's the same thing from each of them:
>oh I'm so fat, what do I do about this?
>oh anon you're so skinny and I could never be as fit as you!
>I need to lose weight but it's hard! I'm so busy/medically unable to/trying but it takes time!
And these same people proceed to shove their faces with sugary shit like ice cream and cakes all while guzzling down sodas and juices with it. And when I give gentle advice on what they can do, something along the lines of "I found that cutting soda/white carbs really helped me get on track to getting in shape!" they just get super defensive, and then finish with some half-baked promise like "once I get back from vacation/this month is over, THEN I'll get into shape!" ffs one of them requested that I find them weight loss pills because they have too much "water weight" and need to lose it in a matter of a week. It's not fucking water weight–it's fucking fat from eating two goddamn pints of gelato a day.
I mean it's not to say that I don't indulge from time to time, but I somehow keep myself from shoving my face with sweets on a daily basis. Dieting and exercise isn't easy for everyone, but goddamnit everyone can learn fucking self-control and moderation if they just put in the effort. I'm just tired of them getting snippy towards me and giving me attitude as if I don't know how oh-so-busy their days are.

I work at a call center and I fucking hate entitled asshole customers.
I was forced to do overtime again bc of all the bad weather, and out of the 12 hours I worked it just took one asshole towards the end of my shift to ruin my mood.
He wanted to know why he wasn't being refunded a service fee $70 on a fare he'd bought (and gotten a refund for), and I had to tell him booking fees were non-refundable as the 'service' was technically rendered even if the fare wasn't. First of all, he had no information for me despite being on hold and doing nothing with his precious time. Then, he purposefully threw me off because he accused us of having charged him $100 before I could even get ahold of the financial record. I finally found the info no thanks to him. After I corrected him and clarified the charge (I was told I was 'interrupting' him for offering to explain something during his long-winded tirade), he actually had the audacity to slam it in my face that he was a "business owner" (aka the 'CEO' of some no-name advertising .com website in PA), and that he "didn't have the time" to fill out the customer relations complaint form on our website. And that I should have had to "go over my head" and gotten a supervisor to speak to him because how dare we not be able to refund him the fee over the phone. And how dare I not read his mind that he wanted a supervisor. And shudder to think we lose his highness as a customer!
I don't know what piece of shit business owner throws a fit over $70 and doesn't have a secretary to do this work for him, but he really pissed me off. And I didn't say much except "I understand how you feel," because if I make these types of arrogant assholes feel (rightfully) shut down, they just stay on the line longer to try to argue with me more. Despite them knowing nothing will come of it.
I doxxed him and literally have all his info. I want to/wish I could do shit with it but it would just be too damn obvious.

Emotional detachment is needed for working at a shitty call-center job, not for starting a family.
Again, why aren't you just a housewife instead of working at a call-center? You could be taking care of your children at home, but feminism cucked you into being a wageslave at a call-center instead lmao, so empowering instead of being a housewife.

I can at least understand doing something emotionally charged and in the moment, like saying something shitty during an argument or even cheating on someone while at a party surrounded by bad influences. Not condoning and it's entirely on you to make amends, but at least I can understand how it happened.
But an affair is a measured thing, an act you keep up for a significant period. They know it is wrong, that their partner deserves to know, but they do it anyways even though they had a moment to think it over.

Now, it's 2017. Girls are also studying hard and they earn money; so women are no longer financially dependant on men. Most women take care more about their looks than the average male, plus physically we don't need sex, we don't jerk of on a daily basis like guys do.
Judging from your post it seems that you think that most females are below your standard, so answer me this: what do you have to offer to women?

No. 204372
Vent? I don't like that term. It makes it sound like it's a necessity, that if I don't say something I'll overheat and die. That's not really the case so we'll call it something else, an explanation. I'm not sure where to begin, there's no particular troubling event, just the malaise of life in contemporary society. Forgive me if I'm vague in some areas, if I am it's because explaining the whole situation would take too long and focus on the unimportant aspects. Let's start simple.
I'm a 24 year old [person] who after a sequence of events, has ended up in a particularly isolating place. I say particularly isolating, because everywhere that I've been has imposed on me an isolating effect, this one is just stronger. It's something that I've experienced since I was around… 12? Who knows why that is. It could be because I'm very introverted, or because my intelligence (tested at 19 with a FSIQ of 143), my bundle of idiosyncrasies, a combination? None of the above? Why doesn't really matter. Just know that the feelings of isolation tend to grow as I get older, and where I am now is possibly one of the worst places I could be. It makes our solution at the end of this post here impossible to accomplish (in meatspace).
So, like most people experiencing isolation in real life, we turn to cyberspace. Cyberspace works well for a while, and we live a digital life far more satisfying than our real one. But things in cyberspace can't go well forever. Unavoidable entropic processes take their effect, and the isolating agents of the real world encroach on cyberspace. Sanctuaries turn into Hell, and we exile (or are exiled) ourselves to the nearest outpost. But these outposts are small, and lack much activity, they do not completely fulfill their purpose. Nothing can escape entropy, and they are doomed to succumb to the same fate. At some point in the near future, we become just as isolated in cyberspace as we are in the real world.
So my problem? Nigh complete social atomization as the world degenerates around me. How do I solve a problem like that? My idea is pretty simple, find another atomized person. Stay with them forever. The entropic effects of social decay do not effect individuals, so long as [they] exist, we are content. This is easier said than done, and my chance of succeeding is near zero.

>>204374I don't know. Maybe I am? That's the simplest answer isn't it? It's not impossible. If it's true, that I'm annoying, pretentious, or an asshole, I can't change it. Well, I can't change it without devastating consequences. Plus it only contributes to the problem doesn't it? Maybe you just don't like me? Who knows.
>>204376That was a 100% serious post. Why do you think it wasn't?
No. 204382
>>204380Actually after thinking about it for a bit longer. Here's a better answer.
To explain things in greater detail would have taken too long, and wouldn't have been interesting to many people. I chose instead to be vague and not talk about things that happened specifically only passing over them. I focused on the result of the things, how it makes me feel. Had I told the same essential story explaining events, maybe people could be more sympathetic. It also doesn't help that the problem is anti-sympathetic in nature. I tried to use descriptive words that are rarely used in casual conversation (when's the last time you used entropic in casual conversation?) so the post would be more concise. Maybe that accounts for pretension? Maybe stating the fact that I'm intelligent accounts for that too? People generally speaking don't like to hear that sort of thing, even if it's true (or relevant).
So, not the best way to play to the crowd, but I'm not sure that's what I was going for anyway. Maybe I was agitating the crowd instead? Whatever. I was honest.

>>204365>Now, it's 2017. Girls are also studying hard and they earn money; so women are no longer financially dependant on men. There is no shortage of women who are unemployed, or employed in shitty minimum wage work, and want to be housewives.
Women go to college for meme degrees that don't pay shit.
>They don't need your money,Reality says otherwise, because in the adult world, women judge a man's value almost entirely based on how much money he makes.
Women are still whores that require money from male partners no matter how much money they make themselves. They don't want unemployed househusbands like men want unemployed housewives. A guy with no money, and no future plans to make money, is a deal breaker to over 99% of women.
How many adult women would date an adult male NEET?
>>204387Yes this is unfortunate, and it's largely the fault of feminism, women almost doubled the workforce and that lowers wages, they also voted to flood western countries with immigrants, that also lowers wages.

>>204404Women should only be given alimony if the man cheats, or he initiates the divorce without justifiable reason.
Also there is no such thing as marital rape, it doesn't exist, but if a man is forced to "rape" his wife every time he wants sex, that is justifiable cause for divorce.
If a woman causes the divorce, or initiates it herself without justifiable reason, she gets absolutely nothing. Simple as that.

> they also voted to flood western countries with immigrants, that also lowers wages.go back to /pol/ ya insecure manlet, it's not like women and men made a split decision to vote to bring in immigrants, plenty of women were against it, infact most of the women I know are against it themselves, and if anything I knew more men who were for it than I knew women for it
>What about men who do make enough money to afford a house, wife, and kids on his income alone?They exist you know, but they're all terrified of getting married or having kids because women can ruin their lives in a divorce.
have you even met men like so? the one I have met often encourage their women to get jobs, go to school, and do what they want with their life, they're not "terrified of getting married or having kids" and if you knew anything about said men, then you'd know the vast majority of them ARE married, and what's your annual income mr~everyone should become a housewife~
>Reality says otherwise, because in the adult world, women judge a man's value almost entirely based on how much money he makes.bitch where? a girl gets called a gold digger the second she asks for lunch money, anytime a woman wants a man to pay for anything she gets shamed, I've knew more women who feel bad about men buying them things than I've met gold diggers, it's like these women only exist on tv, not in real life
> A guy with no money, and no future plans to make money, is a deal breaker to over 99% of women.wait, weren't you just saying how women judge men by how much money they make now you're saying broke guys get all the pussy? make up your mind

>why are all these guys that live in crack houses fucking girls?The rules work a bit different for drug addicts. Ironically, a relationship between two unemployed drug addicts is the only example you could give of a straight relationship (outside of schools) where the girl isn't literally a whore.
>why are all the minimum wage mcdonalds college students getting their dicks wet every night?Because they're college students, and they have income right now on top of that. They already have money, and more importantly, because they're in college women see them as a future source of money.

I'm starting to feel like an idiot for being a kissless virgin. I want to fall in love and have a bf like most women my age, but I'm a loser and I'm picky. There's a guy at work who is nice and really hot, just thinking about him makes me so self-conscious about it. Me feeling lonely these days doesn't help either.
I also went back to college this week and I already want to quit and find a job. I'm only "learning" useless things and it makes me feel like I'm wasting my time and energy when I could get some rest or work more and save money to move out.

I can't afford to eat, I got paid today, and of course, it was only for 75% of the work I did, and didn't even get paid for work I did this week, on top of all that I was diagnosed with a scoliosis and the surgery would cost 25k after insurance and all, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I had to delay college for a year because I worked my ass off daily filling out application after application interview after interview and now they finally wanted to give me a job which of course I can't even survive on
I live with my parents and desperately want to move out because I'm in a shitty situation, the only times a day I'm able to eat is breakfast and dinner, if I'm even home around dinner, my work doesn't allow me anywhere to put a lunch so I can't really bring my own food and I can't go home and get any because I live an hour away
for my parents, they pretty much stalk me, yell at me when I'm not even doing nothing, I'm afraid to leave my room because if my parents see me they'll find something to bitch at me for, I can't go out much because they have a gps on my phone despite me being an adult and freak out whenever I go somewhere and spam call me if I work overtime that I don't get paid for which I do anyway because I don't want to get fired
better yet I don't have a lot of clothes and been given a dress code which the 6 articles of clothing I have barely meet, I don't want to waste money on clothes either, since I can barely afford to eat and I'd rather starve and wear old tattered clothing than to waste money because I need to leave my parents

I'm taking care of my moms dogs during the day while she's at work atm (only for like 2 weeks), and while walking/feeding/playing with them isn't in any way inconvenient or tiresome, their constant need for attention is. It has made me realize that i'll never want to actually take care of a dog of my own.
Their psychological dependence on me feels unnatural and creepy, as if they can never be petted enough, talked to enough or played with enough. I can see what the last hundred years of dog breeding has done to them, and it doesn't feel right.
Atm the little one is restlessly walking around my appartment, sometimes silently whimpering for attention but shuns away when i try to give her some. (They are not sick and are well taken care of by my mother) The big one thinks we're going for a walk or getting food every single time i rise up from a chair, or pick something up, or make a sound.
They get walked/played with plently, but it's clear dogs in general aren't supposed to stay indoors most of the day.
I feel like i can never relax around them, i'm always tense and feel slightly irritated. As soon as my mom come and gets them in the evening my whole body instantly relaxes.
I used to want a dog when i grew up, but i'm starting to realize what dog "haters" mean when they say how annoying and dependent dogs are. My friend describes most dogs as being breeded to the point of brain damage, and i think he's right.
I could never hate dogs tho, i think they're wonderful in moderation, i just don't want to live with them.

My very close friend got a boyfriend around last year and it was a critical hit to our friendship. It's LDR so every holiday, every free time she spends at his place or he at hers. Me and her also live far away from each other, so before the bf came to the scene, we would use holidays to spend time together. Now it's impossible, we can't hang out just the two of us, it either with him or not at all. She can't shut up about him, it's nearly impossible to talk about something without her mentioning her bf.
I feel happy for her, because it's all been very good for her mental health, but I'm also sad, because she goes out of contact for weeks/months when they're together, we barely talk, and I don't like some life decisions she's making… Clearly to be closer to him etc, but she risks a lot and I've seen her get cucked by guys too much. I have a bad feeling about it… I just don't see the same involvement, engagement from his side, and the way they interact is weird. He's overly protective and bossy, "daddy" type, maybe that's their thing, I don't want to know.
He became her whole life and I don't think it's healthy (and safe).
I'm jealous of the time they spend together, sad about our very special friendship slowly dying, worried about her future…
Idk, feels bad man.

the third one, she is an adult but her mom never lets her leave, she once went to a different state but when I ask her if she wants to go to the nearest city which is 30 minutes away she declines because her parents don't allow that?

>>204541I mean, only an idiot would give you shit over not being thrilled about having an energetic dog in a small apartment. But different dogs have different needs, I'd suggest something more like a corgi for someone in a city apartment.
I loved my Aussie Shepard, but one of the main reasons she worked so well was because she was in a family of 4 to give lots of attention and had lots of room to run around. If she was cooped up and had nothing to do with her energy, she'd have probably gotten into a lot of trouble. Meanwhile my mothers pomeranian-poodle mix is fairly independent and would probably work well for someone in your position.
>My friend describes most dogs as being breeded to the point of brain damage, and i think he's right. Dogs are basically wolves that never went through puberty. Huskies are some of the dogs closest to their ancestors and even they can have separation anxiety pretty quickly. The fact is they're pack animals, if anything I would argue an independent dog is the one who had their mentality changed the most.

Anyone ever been in a relationship with a schizoid person?
I just read about the symptoms and I strongly suspect my ex has it. It just matches up so perfectly - it was always so confusing to deal with him because of how difficult he was to read. Often he'd be completely stone-faced and not show any emotion, even when I was being upbeat and cracking jokes (like, sometimes he would just stare silently at me when I tried to lighten things up… it was sort of uncomfortable). So naturally I assumed he was mad or worried about something. But when I asked what was wrong, he would act confused and not know what I was talking about. It was confusing because sometimes he'd be really affectionate and warm, and then just completely "dead" days after. He would say, yes, he really DOES want to be with me, but then make no effort to be closer.
He used to say that he had trouble getting close to people and self-disclosing, but I always thought this meant that he was just really shy and insecure. But now I think he was just emotionally detached, lacked some self-awareness, and other people didn't know how to interact with him so they didn't bother.
It fucked with me because I kept thinking he was just pretending to like me, or that he was using me, when really he was just socially anhedonic.

I think my boyfriend is lying to me about finding me attractive. His exes look nothing like me, his friends make fun of him for being with someone like me, he takes ages to cum when we have sex (but he cums easily from masturbating when alone), the girls he points towards which he finds attractive are the opposite of me, and whenever he compliments me it sounds very forced.
I'm short, have small boobs, I'm fairly slim (but not that much muscle definition), white and have blonde hair.
He seems to be more interested in tan girls with brown hair, or Asians. Basically anything as long as it isn't me. Though at the same time he says he's crazy about me and wants to marry me.

What I am personally saying is that being paranoid about his ex's is one of the most classic insecurities. Of which I'm not unsympathetic, but I'm suggesting the two of them get past it together rather than breaking up every time she's feeling down. Like look at her evidence. He comes quicker when masturbating than during sex, something most guys do. His ex's look different than her, yet he's with her. He's never actually disparaged her or tried to hurt her self esteem, instead only giving compliments by her own admission.
It's rather silly for your first action be to break up considering all of this information.

Okay is it normal for him then to take 90 minutes to cum with me around, but alone just 2 minutes? In our entire relationship he's only cum twice by me without him having to finish it himself. I've asked whether I feel tight enough, and he said definitely, sometimes too tight. I've asked whether my blowjob skills are good enough, he said I've given him a few that were the best he's ever had. The only problem then can be is that he's disgusted by me.
It's also not just the exes, he's shown me the girls he used to masturbate to, without me ever asking. He randomly tells me he'd fuck a girl, but then turns around telling me he's only sexually attracted to me. He's asked me to wear a wig during sex so I look more like the girls he used to masturbate to. It just seems so incredibly two-faced. He gives me all these standard compliments, every fucking time, but he constantly gives me hints that he'd rather be fucking someone else.

The thing is I do not ever plan on getting married. I don't believe in it for myself. And he knows that and understands and is fine living the rest of our lives without marriage.
But he always makes cute little comments like "I'll be here if and when you ever decide suddenly you want to do it".

I guess I'm not really looking for advice since I know I gotta end this shit but I at least need to rant.
I met a guy online, we became best friends best buds, we considered meeting and dating but snuffed the idea after discovering he wants kids and I do not. So we had a couple years of actually getting to know each other without weird girl/boy tension. Cool.
I got a bf, things went south, I decided to meet up with best friend since I was still in his country and had fuck all else to do. He was (and still is) sweet as can be and took care of me while I was miserable and never made a move. After a month of living together we kissed for the first time and here's where things get iffy.
So I started noticing him as a potential bf during our first month together when he was taking care of me without fawning over me. Just being a stand up guy going out of his way for a friend. Never pressured or hinted at anything and never even made a semblance of a move. He admit he hadn't seen me that way either once we kissed so it was an odd turning point. After things started turning more into relationship material he's become very… feminine? He's extremely clingy, cuddly, like as subbish as one can get and he goes above and beyond for me. He makes little cute moan whimper sounds when he's cuddling and wants my attention. These things can be nice but with him it's always a lead in for sex. If a boy is being cute with me I just want to cuddle and maybe flirt the way up to sex so it's really gotten annoying having him just acting and talking like a little kid and being surprised when I'm drier than a desert. Side note: originally I was on the fence about physical attraction to him since he's basically anorexic skinny and a bit shorter, face not my preferred type etc. petty nonsense shit. We had about a month of banging where those things mattered not because he was cool and it's great realizing you love your best friend.
The things I mentioned gradually started to worry me but I was drinking a lot at the time so I guess I just shoved my concerns under the rug of alcohol. I came back to my country, he still continued the cuteness game while still trying to make it a sexual thing and I realized my vagina is pretty much clamped up for good. I did promise to visit him again in fall and well, here I am. I thought I owe him the decency of an explanation or to test the waters to see if anything's fixable.
We had some issues since he realized I was a bit distant and he said he cried about it and I feel awful. But after doing my best to politely explain that well… fuck, I want to feel like I'm dating a man and this isn't working for me, it seems he may be desperately trying to fix things by doing the things I dislike in doubletime. He's told me he loves me in his language with a baby voice while wiggle cuddling and I just can't be doin' with this. I adore when the person I'm dating is "switches roles" and lets me take care of them but this extreme clinginess is not my thing.
This super sucks. I don't want to be a heartless asshole and especially not towards my best friend but we've had sex twice since I've been here and it's been such a chore.

>>204966I was doing a workout plan that I found and tailored for myself using a bunch of resources online, I kept it up for months but I was just getting a worse body instead of my dream body. It was 30 minutes of cardio at varying intensity, then about an hour of weights without breaking for whatever body part it was that day. Monday was legs, Tuesday was Arms, so on. My ass vanished within a few weeks and I kept hoping it was the fat vs muscle and that the muscle would come in but after half a year I just wanted to cry from my new Bobby Hill ass. My upper abdominals under my breasts bulked out from muscle and I constantly looked bloated but my lower stomach got saggier and lower on my body to where I almost had a fupa but never got much smaller in fat. The cellulite on my legs was horrific, it went from the very backs under my butt to all throughout my legs and I looked terrible. My legs didn't lose any fat or change shape, even the fat pockets up were my thigh gap is. I just broke out with cellulite like a teenager and zits.
A lot of it was just YMMV I figured out. I'm too quad dominant for squats to work out my butt or hips, I have too bad a hip flexor for other shit, etc. In the end it was a bunch of people arguing over what % of protein your diet needed, if squats did or didn't work, if cardio was killing your workout.
I basically now just to mild things like walking 45-60 minutes a day at least, leg lifts while I'm sitting at work, and resistance band upper body stuff while watching tv. I stopped watching my diet and just ate what I wanted but made sure I didn't overeat my calories.

I applied for a travel in Iceland with erasmus+ (I'm European), I already did it once a year ago and I've had a great time so I wanted to go again.
A guy from my country that was in my team last year is now part of the team of the organization that runs the event.
A girl I know and I'm friends with on Facebook is a very close friend of this guy. I was notified via email that I wasn't chosen for this travel/event a week ago. And the guy was the one who notified me on the association's behalf, so it appears they made the selection a week ago…
And yet, this girl has been publicly boasting about "going to Iceland" for 2-3 months.
Also, she doesn't speak English (required for the event) and she's not into the topic of the event (also required), so it's really weird that she was chosen.
If 2+2=4, the guy must have promised her a place between the 4 people they had to choose and she will see a place she has little knowledge of, where she won't be able to communicate with the other partecipants except of the ones from my country because she doesn't speak English, in an event which topic doesn't really interest her.
Okaaaay…

>tfw artist
As of recently, I'm trying to get better at my art and post often and recently a friend of mine had also gotten one. It was cool but then she made one to write fanfictions for Markiplier,Jackcepticeye,and all those other fucks. She actually managed to get quite a few followers.
She posted fanart (her art is middle school level at best) of one of them on her main tumblr and managed to get 1k notes on it and he even re blogged it.
I'm not even going to hide my salt here but jesus fucking christ, sometimes I wonder if it's even worth going through the trouble of getting good and trying to draw fanart all the time to get noticed. If immature weeb art level fucks like her can get notes on a piece of shit fanart like what she posted, it honestly makes me wonder if it's worth it. It's petty, but it makes me so mad that all you have to do is appeal to the right people/fandom and boom you get followers/an audience/supporters whatever.
I've been having a tough time with my art/art style already and this shit is making me lose hope

>>205082I get where you're coming from. A following has a lot of perks: they give feedback, they support you, they can make you feel like it was worth it in a sense. Hell, having a following means that you can even just open a Patreon and have people throw money at you for doing what you like. You can work on it step by step, through hashtags, bandwagoning on the most popular shows etc. but try not to make it an obsession, because that's when people lose interest in what they do and the quality starts dropping

And nope not in education. I graduated with a fine arts degree, and this job is technically 'in my field' but it's not creative in the least. Which is fine for me right now, because I've had a lot of trouble finding a job period. And I figure it will give me time to focus all of my creativity on personal projects and see if those take off.

Have safety in mind, and take action to report and/or prevent risks. Whoever your superiors are will take notice.
The best way to get along with most children (under 10) is to be their audience. Ask them about their favourite game, their pets, their family, etc. and really listen to their responses. Pretty soon you'll be surrounded by the little bastards pulling at your clothes and saying "watch this!! Look what I can do!!"

I can't stand my bestfriend anymore. The problem is that if I cut him off of my life, I'll lose all my other close friends.
I met him when I was finishing high school (10 years ago) and I was completely alone due to family problems and shitty people around me (basically, fake friends who couldn't care less about me even if they tried). And we had some special connection. He was having problems with their friends too (who he had known for more than 20 years) and troubles with himself because he's gay and he just got out of the closet.
For the first year, he became an essential part of my life, he gave me the support I needed and I did the same with him. But then we started school, he introduced me to his friends and that's where it all went shit.
I always knew he's an egocentric and self-centered person but I didn't have any problem with that, as I have low self-esteem and I kind of admired his personality. But he's also very, vey jealous of his friends. They liked me and wanted to hang around with me and I understood that this could make him angry somehow because he was with him since he was a child and I didn't want to feel like I was excluding him, so I didn't meet his friends if he wasn't around, or I tried not to talk to them as much as him.
However, he always got an excuse to throw shade at me on Twitter, to stop talking to me and calling me crazy when I asked him what was wrong, and just acting as if I was a nuisance. The thing is that he did it in such a way that I actually believed I was crazy or boring. I couldn't stand the idea of being alone again, so I endured so much shit of him. Some of his friends told me (years later) that when we're together with them, it's like I disappear, because I don't talk too much, I don't join too much, etc.
This went on for more than seven years. The truth is that I felt guilty and bad almost all the time, because I truly thought I was doing something wrong. He never told me what bothered him (he's the proudest boy I've ever met, he'd die before telling me he's afraid of me being better than him at something), but it was so obvious, I became paranoid about saying the wrong thing or meeting someone when I wasn't supposed to or something.
It came to a point where I felt guilty of not telling him E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. As I was lying to him. And when I told him these things, he used to tell me that I didn't owe him any kind of explanation lmfao when actually he got pissed if I didn't tell him.
Obviously, his friends became my friends too after a few years and to this day they're my closest ones. Two years ago, I stopped caring about his reactions that much. I finally saw how toxic our relationship was, specially considering he's only my bestfriend.
Right now, I just feel tired and anxious about our friendship. I feel like I'm always doing things to please him, always available when he wants to meet or he needs someone to, i.e., go shopping. When we're fine, I feel extremetely grateful for him and I remember all those things that made him my friend at the beginning, I know I owe him my friend's group and he's a big part of my life, period. But when we're bad (I mean, when HE'S bad, not talking to me, being shady or just ''meh'' about everything I told him), I remember why I'm starting to become this tired and bitter about this whole situation.
I actually became more distant in the past years, I stopped caring that much and I actually saw how he is, but as I said, he's super passive-agressive and tries to make a joke of everything he does / says to me so he doesn't show his true colours to any of our friends, so they don't know at all how shit he is with me. They tried to calm down things sometimes (when he joked about me in front of them) but they don't know, of course, how many ''ok'' I can get in one of our conversations, or how he lefts me on read when something pissed him off but doesn't want to tell me so I become anxious about what exactly I did wrong. I know it may sound silly but he knows exactly what hurt me (because some of my old exfriends did it) and still does it.
Also, he's not the same person I've met. Now he's always bitch-talking about everyone and everything, he became so fake, I can't understand it. He's always making plans with people who treat him like shit and rants about it with us and then we have to see photos of them as if nothing has happened.
And who I'm trying to fool, they've been friends for more than twenty years and he didn't do anything wrong to them at all, they'd pick his side and I just know it. One couple broke up a few years ago after more than 4 years of relationship and that kind of separated our group in two, so I know this would be similar or worse.
TLTR; my ''bestfriend'' is an asshole but we have the same friends group and if I cut him off, I'd be completely alone kek

>I still have very little trust even after talking it all out and forgiving him
>I can't fucking get over it
>I just want to show my bf the love he deserves for genuinely putting so much effort into cleaning up his act
>when it comes it kissing and hugging I always hold back now
I really don't want to break up with him but I just don't feel as if i love him as much as i did before this. I need to get over myself, I know what he did was mega shit but we talked for DAYS about it and he has shown so much remorse and been extremely apologetic. He's 100% not a chad or a gross guy that would do this and share it around but it's something that crosses the line so much for me..

I remember when I lived at home that I could expect to be yelled at or bitched about something everyday when I came back after school. My mom would do shit to hurt my trust like read through my diary while holding me back, and shaming me about certain things. She constantly criticized me and made me feel bad for being myself. When I acted out and rebelled she would wonder why. Never felt I could talk to her about anything, and to this day I give her a watered-down version of my life happenings because to say anything personal and have it criticized/insulted would hurt me like in the past.
It's like the second I hit pre-pubescence around middle school, my mother treated me like a shit there on out. One time she yelled at me "I WISH I HAD A DAUGHTER WHO WOULD ACT NICELY IN ALL THE OTHER MOTHER AND DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIPS I SEE," not realizing that she raised me this way and she's mostly to blame.
Even hugging her and kissing her cheek feels so artificial and forced because she simply never fostered that kind of relationship with me after I turned 10.

>My mom would do shit to hurt my trust like read through my diary Mine does the same. She's previously read through my texts and gotten my siblings to show her my facebook profile. She'll comment on things she shouldn't know just to remind me that she has the POWER to stalk me. I feel like when I move out she'll regularly show up at my apartment unannounced.
>She constantly criticized me and made me feel bad for being myself.100% and I think it was worst during puberty. Like she was shaming me for growing up. She didn't like it when I wore makeup. She especially didn't like it when I gained weight because it damaged HER image. I think that's the only reason why mothers care about their daughters "rebelling". She'd tell me in great detail all the things that were ugly on me and I fucking hate her for doing that because I can never forget them. I still hear her nasty little voice every time I get dressed in the morning or every time I feel an ounce of confidence.
>Even hugging her and kissing her cheek feels so artificial and forced because she simply never fostered that kind of relationship with me after I turned 10.Exact same thing happened with me. She was never close to me when I was a child but suddenly she started demanding I kiss her on the cheek in front of other people to make it seem like we were close. She'd act hurt when I was awkward about it. One day she's trying to be a "cool mom" and try to "hang out" with me (which is really just a way for her to get me to trust her so I'll open up about things she'll use against me later) and the next minute she's screaming at me for being a waste of space, fat, lazy demon. I don't even know why people like this have children. Like when you know you're a terrible human being who hates other people, just get your tubes tied.
Hope you're doing well now, anon xxx

Is it possible to be a nice, likeable person without actually attracting friends? I like to be nice to people, and pleasant to work with, but I really don't like people. Just being my quiet, boring self at work had garnered a few work "friends" over the last few months. It was nice to chitchat with them every few days, and that was ALL that I wanted and nothing more. Then one of them wanted to hang out, and I said yes, because I can't say no. There's no good way of telling some one you've been friendly talking with for a few months that, no, you aren't free Friday to play tennis with him and his girlfriend . God, I hate "hanging out" with people my age. I feel like so many people my age act no differently than teenagers, and it becomes especially apparent when "hanging out." One of the friends quickly super annoying. They never shut up and go on and on about normie pastimes like vaping and sports plays. Some of the things they said to me I ended up wanting to slap them for, and everything snowballed until one day I got clearly irritated with every asshole thing they did. And I got stuck being clearly irritated with them for days afterward because I couldn't just forgive and forget. They've got the message now, and don't sit with me at lunch now. And now I just feel really bad about it. And this is one of the reasons I hate friends. I inevitably get annoyed with them, can't forget it, and you can't just dump a friend so easily. I end up feeling awful about getting annoyed and not being patient with them. Sometimes I feel like they're emotionally draining and trying to take advantage of me, and feel bad that I get annoyed about that too.
The other friends all end up wanting to all hang out together, and do a bunch of teenage tier things like sit on the couch till 3 am and watch YouTube videos and get drunk on weekdays. I end up leaving only after an hour because I can't put up with it.
I don't even get why they bother inviting me, I really don't have much in common with them. I think they're desperate for as many friends as possible sometimes. One of them I thought was a cool person, till I hung out with them alone. I've ranted before about it. They acted inappropriately. I'm so sick of meeting people I think are one way, and then turn around and betray my trust.
Sorry for my cringey rant.

I too like polite conversation at work, but I was never interesting in becoming friends with my coworkers because they're either way older than me or have different things going on like kids that I can't possibly relate to.

If you're worried about them not getting it then wear headphones whenever you are alone, have a book with you at lunch and stick to telling people that you're going to the gym or to get caught up on videogames after work. To begin with people might take it personally that you've swapped personas but eventually they will just accept that you're the friendly loner.

I can't just say no. It sounds so stupid, but I've never been able to. I know that I'm disappointing them and feel like I'm being horribly mean by declining their offers. I really realize what a problem it is now that you both bring it up. Is it alright if I ask if you ever feel bad about saying no? Do you have excuses you give? When I give excuses, (which I do a lot) like I'm too tired or I'm grocery shopping after work, they still don't get the message and keep asking.

This and this. She's pissy that I never hug/kiss her, but she never wonders why. It's like she's completely unaware, as if her brain shuts down whenever she's doing something wrong (which is almost all the time). When confronted, she denies EVERYTHING, gets very aggressive if you keep talking about it and if you don't shut up she beats you. I used to be confident, bubbly, and charismatic. Now I'm a bubble of insecurity because of her daily attacks on my self esteem.
But then she will start blaming me for being insecure. You can't win with that woman.
I have a little sister, somehow my mom wasn't as bad to her as she was to me so they bonded more. She always defends her and spoils her, while guilt tripping me for not showing all that affection my sister shows her, even though it's because of her behavior, she's the one who ruined our relationship. Hell, I was terrified of her when I was a child, she fucking strangled me when she was mad at me for shit like a bad grade or me accidentally spilling the milk on the floor, and she did it more than once. I guarantee that if I tried to confront her about it now, she will deny everything and say that I'm crazy and that I want to send her to jail.
Everything I do is not good enough, all the other girls are better than me, I'm a failure (in my early twenties?), I'm just like my father (they're divorced) blah blah blah. And she has the weird habit of "teaming up" with my sister against me, when my sister is not even present at the moment. Like "Go to sleep when WE do, WE don't want you to disturb US" when my sister didn't even care.

I had the day off so i just hung around. when he came home from work he immediately started yelling at me bc i didn't make him food, but he didn't even ask me to?? i kept saying that i would've done it if i had known but he would just keep yelling and that i should've known to make him food when he got home from work! he would make up shit like that. he would yell literally at the top of his lungs at me. sometimes he would just nit pick me for up to an hour at a time and i'd be crying and he'd just be calling me pathetic and a drama queen for crying. he only told me negative things about myself. i'm pretty good looking tbh but he completely destroyed all of my confidence by tearing down my appearance every single day, i'm so insecure and i have no real "self" anymore and i'm jealous and bitter towards everyone now. he would tell me he looks at other girls just to make me upset i think. one day he assaulted me because i read him a news headline. he doesn't like our country's president and likes to not be aware of what's happening in the world, apparently. i read the headline and he started getting madder and arguing with me and it escalated and he grabbed me and pushed me out of the room, he took my phone, he locked me outside in the snow with no shoes, he threatened to throw my phone in a puddle of melted snow, he let me back inside and he corners me into a kitchen corner and he is in my face yelling at me and his face is so fucking crazy from the rage and he leaves the kitchen and i'm standing there shaking and crying and trying to call an uber home and he storms back out again like 45 seconds later and corners me again and he's yelling at the top of his lungs right in my face again very aggressively and i'm saying nothing and i instinctively put my hands up in front of my face bc i'm so scared and he grabs me by the wrists and throws me across the kitchen, my glasses literally flew off my face. i'm a 5'1" 105lb girl and he is a 6' ~170lb man. i was literally covered in bruises. sorry that was so long but i literally like had a flashback as i wrote that my heart is racing. i ended up going back to him after that which was the dumbest thing i ever did. he had another freakout, not as bad and ended up dumping me (for another stupid minor reason). i'm glad he did bc i don't think i ever would've left that relationship, i'm really afraid of change. there's something wrong with me where i keep dating people who emotionally abuse me and i don't know why. anyway if anyone read this whole thing thanks i really appreciate someone like..listening. i can't talk to anyone about this

>>205355>>205290Fucking same. I hate how fake people is with me, how they always take advantadge of me, how when I stop caring that much I'm the bad one because I don't put enough interest in others, but when I do care I feel rejected or ignored.
I'm tired of trying to be nice all the time when people couldn't care less about me or, worse, makes me feel like shit for ''worrying to much'' about it. Sometimes all I need is to feel that someone cares for me the same way as I do, I just need someone to ask me how my fucking day went, or wanting to see me once in awhile. I'm so sick of fake ass people trying to be passive-agressive and acting all innocent when I confront them. I'm not dumb, I can see throught their lies and I fucking hate myself sometimes because I can't stop feeling guilty for wanting to believe them.

>>205219 anon here.
I really get where you're coming from with the whole "saying no" shit. Personally, I was abused as a kid and learned to put myself on the back burner for everyone else, which led to a lot of feelings of guilt and shame if I said no to anyone about anything.
What helped me climb out of that mentality was understanding the root of why I felt guilty and then realizing that I matter just as much as the person I want to say no to. My feelings, wants, and needs are just as valid as theirs. I have the right to say no, without explanation, and eventually, I just bulldozed over any guilt by saying "fuck you" to it and to the person if they tried to make me feel bad.
As far as giving excuses, like I said, you don't need to give one. If someone asks you to hang out or do something specific, you literally just say "no, thanks, I think I'm going to pass." If they press you excessively, be stern and just say that you don't want to and end the discussion. If they try to make you feel bad or are starting to be a dick about it, why would you even feel guilty at that point, especially if you don't even want to hang out with them? They're obviously assholes not worth your time.
All in all, it sounds like you just need to up your confidence by a lot, girl.

Is there anyone here who lives a relatively solitary lifestyle by choice and is happy?
I have had very bad social anxiety my entire life. (I fit all of the symptoms of Avoidant personality disorder, but I've never been diagnosed so I try not to read too much into that. It is kind of hard not to though.) I only had one friend throughout high school, but it was a very unhealthy relationship and five years after graduating I have finally cut ties with her. Surprisingly, I'm not lonely or upset at all. I've never had any kind of romantic relationship, exc. My lack of social life and normal progression bothered me all throughout high school and the first two years of college. But now the thing is that…it doesn't. And I feel like it still should. However, I just can't bring myself to care.
I am probably going to resume therapy sometime next month after ~six years without it, so I don't know if that will change anything. But I'm just kind of happy being alone now. I know that isn't healthy, but at this point I just feel like if I'm content by being alone why should I try to force myself to live a
'normal' life just to feel like I'm living right?
The part that makes me pause a little bit is that I'm only 22, so I assume that I know nothing about life. I know that I don't. Even though I'm content right now, will that kind of life bite me in the ass ten years down the road? I never wanted marriage/children so that isn't really an issue for me..I'm more worried about friends in general. Maybe a romantic relationship if I can find someone who is ok with a severe introvert (to a fault) who has no interest in those things either.
I know I have a lot of issues that have gone ignored for years now, because I just can't bring myself to get help. I used to be extremely depressed and sad all the time, but now I'm just numb to everything. I'm never happy, I'm never sad, I never cry. I would say I'm still depressed but it comes in the form of complete numbness, indifference, and lack of motivation. I'm wondering if my view on socializing and relationships has taken a similar turn. Like I've gone so long without them that now I'm so used to the feeling that it's comfortable for me, despite it not being good.
I don't know. Just don't know.

I have barely any friends but I am happy and in a good mood most of the time, so I don't think my lack of a social life reflects any deeper issues. But in your case, don't you just need to spend some more time being social to figure out if it's something that helps you or not? If it improves your mood, keep doing it. If not, feel free to give it up.

>>205424>I used to be extremely depressed and sad all the time, but now I'm just numb to everything. I'm never happy, I'm never sad, I never cry.That is a form of severe depression, where people lose all emotions. If you cannot feel happiness, how can you state that you feel happy with your current lifestyle?
I'm worried you're a bit in denial, Anon, and you kinda know it. Just like you said, you're too cocooned in your lifestyle you don't have the courage to change. You haven't experienced what good friendship and relationship could be, so you convince yourself that you're content.
For centuries, social isolation has been a test or a punishment. People had to go through it to see if they're strong enough not to come out, well, broken.
The monks you see that live in huts alone, have decades of spiritual journey behind them and have decided to do it by choice, not because they are unable to form relationships.
So, please, don't start off negative that therapy won't help you. Try with small steps. Go for a walk every day or try going to group exercises. If you can, get blood test and see which vitamins you're lacking. Try connecting to people on the internet at least. My parents are very controlling and I was very isolated so I've found many good friends and even my boyfriend on the internet. If you have some hobbies, connect to the people online about them.

There was a girl I was best friends with several years, but lately I feel like she's been flakey. I recently became much closer with another girl. We didn't get along for a long time, but due to some circumstances we ended up living together for a while, which was enjoyable, and now my friend makes time to talk to me every week even though she is busy with grad school.
Friend #1, I haven't heard her voice for a couple of months. I said she was free to call me because she mentioned feeling lonely, but I feel like she won't take my offer. I don't feel like she is obligated to talk to me, but I wish there was a way to remind her that friendship is what you put into it.
This weekend, she wanted me to drive over to her place for her birthday, but it would have taken 8 hours round trip, and I just didn't have the time. I did appreciate the invitation, but even if I did have some more time, I still don't feel like it would be worth the effort to drive there, considering how much I hate driving.

I have to shave my face every day otherwise I grow a literal neckbeard.
My hormones are probably fucked up but I don't have the money or energy to go to specialists and even then I don't know if facial hair growth is something that I'd want to take medication for.

I agree, they should change it provide more info. I get if maybe you find the item cheaper else where, but how could you ever ship it to the person if you didn't know their address? I guess they don't factor in random strangers buying off your list, assuming these people already have them.

My social circle kept complaining about this hostile bitch who decided to befriend one of our popular friends and thought she became a queen bee above us for doing so.
She would start talking down to us in conversations, saying things that made her sound good but actually doing the opposite, shittalking to her neutral friend in our group about others, telling us how much she cared about that popular friend and how we don't care enough etc. Weird bullshit like that.
The other day she became especially obnoxious and my friends started to PM me about what an annoying twat she was being while their chat was ongoing. The idiot was basically arguing with them about the popular friend again and it snowballed out of control. I was getting sick of my circle complaining about her but doing nothing.
I checked the conversation myself and tried to reason with the psycho twat. I mean I work in service so I'm pretty good at diffusing situations with dangerously stupid and unreasonable people. But she was legit crazy.
I hit so many nerves with her since the things I said made her feel cornered when she couldn't refute them. When she couldn't refute my points, she'd nitpick semantics. When nitpicking didn't work out, she repeated things like a broken record.
I said mockingly towards the end how she was just trying to be our friend's #1, and that sent her over the edge so bad she actually left our circle in a spiteful blaze of bitch fury.
What got my goat was that the 'neutral' friend with her actually had a panic attack after I stood up for them. I think because she honestly feared this person and she was being ferociously PMed by the twat. Still, it felt like bullshit that she had been complaining about this psychonaut to me so when I do something about it finally, it made her upset. Why even have a bitch for a friend like that though? Why care if she leaves?
So I text the twat giving her the opportunity to come back into our circle if she wanted to treat us better and do the right thing by her friend. Yet it turns out she's also a professional victim and chewed me out for the "STUNT" I pulled by (GASP) talking to her!! How I had been "rude" and that I'm "jealous" and "insecure" about her relationship with the popular friend. Also, that from now on bitch would talk through the neutral girl, because I guess bitches have ambassadors these days.

And then me asking when we could talk, "not yet." Asking when we could got "don't know." as a reply.

I said to stick to what they said and talk to me and not play games when they swore they wouldn't.

I'm reaching my breaking point with a good friend of mine.
Sometime last year I made a private Discord server for my friends and me to chat in. Under normal circumstances, the criteria for an invitation is knowing me for a while (average is about 5-6 years) and being over the age of 21 (average age is 27). I broke my own rules and allowed a newer friend in after some drama went down on another server. They were mistreating her for rather dumb reasons and I felt sorry, so I let her into mine so she wouldn't feel so dejected. While I don't regret it at all I really, really wish she wasn't so sensitive so I could just tell her my grievances straight up. I should have known better as a lot of the problems people had with her on the other server are beginning to manifest in mine.
She's very sweet and nice and I genuinely care for her and enjoy being her friend but her insecurity is beginning to drive me crazy. For the most part, she's well-liked on the server, but people do have an issue with some of her tendencies. She's a stay-at-home mother and her husband works full-time, so she's always alone with her kid. I'm not personally bothered by it, but I know for a fact that a few of the other users in the channel very much are. Most of the people on the server don't even like children, let alone want to hear one constantly screaming in the background. She goes on push-to-talk when it gets bad, but she can't exactly turn her child off. To her credit, she does apologize for it and I'm sure it will get better once her kid grows up and learns to be a bit quieter but the fact that her child is screeching compounds with everything else that comes with along with her presence.
She has a bad habit of coming into our Discord server high or drunk. It isn't much of a problem when it's just she and I, but when there are multiple people she tends to dominate conversations or interrupt just to ask people to repeat or explain themselves because she's 'too blazed' or 'had a bit too much to drink'. Only one other person in our server drinks regularly, and when he does he often stays off the internet. Nobody smokes weed so we can't exactly relate to that either. She's a very talkative and boisterous drunk and when those inhibitions do down she often makes awkward or derailing comments, or just flat out starts complaining about whatever family member offended her this week. For hours. Then she goes to sleep.
She goes on these long tirades about her personal family issues as if we know and/or care about these people. If it's not that, then it's her running a joke she heard one of us make into the ground so hard that nobody else finds it funny or talking about what her kid did today. Nobody else in the server is a parent. Most of us dislike children. She's bored many a person to tears talking about how much and what her toddler ate today or how much her kid loves Elmo. It's cute for a while, but even I've begun to tune out when her baby's name gets brought up.
She often bemoans over how her she lost her figure post-baby and pines for her 'skinny' high school body. All the time, even though one look at her old photos shows that she's always been a bit on the heavier side. She also blames a high school ex she dated for 13 months for 'fucking her up' and leaving her an 'insecure mess'. According to her, he never assaulted her beyond pushing her around, which is horrible but not what I'd consider battering, was rude and very openly cheated on her with several girls. Even still, she didn't wise up until way after the fact. It's been over 10 years and she's still salty.
She's also a bit of a whiner. Having a child (unplanned) has cost she and her husband their entire social lives. They used to go to cons and bars and have fun with people their age and buy things, but now all they do is budget and take care of their kid. Even still, I hear nothing but her complaints and desires to do what she did before becoming a parent. I was about to pull my hair out the week of PAX because she would not shut up about wanting to go. Every other sentence out of her mouth was about how she wished she could go to PAX, how jealous she was of people who could go to PAX and her planning out loud ways she could try to go. It got really obnoxious. This repeats with almost anything else she wants that week. Make up, video games, etc.
Her husband is an okay guy. I haven't talked to him much, but from what she tells me she's having a bit of a crisis over his attraction to her. She seems to have picked up on my partner's absolute devotion to me. He's weaned himself off of porn (completely on his own, I had no say in it whatsoever) and only wants to be intimate to or with me, even when fapping. Her husband cannot say the same and has a definite preference when it comes to porn. A preference she does not physically fit into - and it really bothers her. She's always comparing herself to other girls, then doing this weird positive thing where she tries to talk herself up. Like "I may not be [insert pornstar she found on her husband's phone] but at least I have a kid that loves me and a husband!"
The pornstar thing is seriously grating. Not only did she snoop through her husband's phone looking for his porn stash, but after finding it she sat him down and tried telling him that his favorite porn star would never think twice about him, and how he would never have a chance with a girl like her. I mean, he's not exactly what I'd consider a catch (he seems to be very keen on getting her to lose weight and do cosplay despite being even fatter than her) but holy shit that's kind of fucked up. She acknowledges it herself, but does nothing beyond blaming it on her 'period hormones'. She's also quite jealous towards other girls in general (including me according to her, but I suppose I don't fall under the unwarranted hatred umbrella). When she acts up, I either correct her or completely ignore her but it does get really annoying. She wears her insecurities on her sleeve and gets a little boost out of imitating fictional characters she likes (wearing the same kind of glasses as Mei or styling her hair to imitate some anime girl). Normally I wouldn't consider this an issue but she really is trying so hard. I try to let her know that she's cute and pretty as much as I can, but it gets washed out by her self-loathing.
I know she's a good person and has proven it many times over but goddamn does she really need some parent friends who aren't part of her family and some self-esteem. I don't know how much longer we can deal with hearing about her kid's blowouts or how much she hates skinner women.

But I don't know why you side with the husband so much towards the end. He sounds like an obese creep looking up porn on his phone and not communicating with the mother of his child about their marital issues.

>>205850She's 100% right and I hate men like that (even my husband calls him a loser) but I was trying to show how loco her jealousy can get. It's one thing to not like porn, but to go through someone else's phone snooping for it is a huge breach of privacy even if he is too much of a lame to communicate with her
I want to tell her that she shouldn't have to deal with a man who doesn't seem all that into her, but she gets super ancy when I imply that. They've been together since they were in school and ran away from Cali to Wash. state.
She did tell me that she 'made a mistake' and gave some guy a bj when she was still a barfly years ago but she claims to have never wanted to be with anybody else. Him and the kid are pretty much all she has.

>>205875She may breach his privacy, but it sounds like he has no problem breaching her trust. It's no wonder to me that she's a jealous, insecure mess.
I view obsessive porn watching as a form of infidelity that could eventually lead to bigger problems like irl affairs. Yes, everyone watches porn but it shouldn't be replacing intimacy or else it's a huge red flag. I pity her and understand where she's coming from.
Anyway, she sounds like a really sad person. I'm really not sure if there's much you could say to help her, unfortunately. It's a lost cause unless she's ready to leave him.

>>205844>Not only did she snoop through her husband's phone looking for his porn stash, but after finding it she sat him down and tried telling him that his favorite porn star would never think twice about him, and how he would never have a chance with a girl like her.Jesus christ.
What is she expecting? Of course people jerk it to hot people. That just reads to me like shes trying to attack his self esteem so he's happy with her insecure ass. If she has issues about how he should be losing weight too, then by all means bring it up but that shit is just dumb. This relationship sounds like a shit show though, the comments about the ex makes me wonder if she was ever really that invested in the relationship to begin with.

Last night there was a flight for older veterans coming home after a day trip to DC, and the entire atmosphere at the airport was absolutely cult-like. So many little flags, screaming and yelling as if everyone was at a giant concert, and legit eagle faces faded over american flags. Culty and corny af with these big fat moms and dads with their gross kids holding these cheap looking flags. I held up a sign and waved a flag anyway, since I knew it was make my family happy if I did. This morning my mother asks me if I had a good time last night, and not wanting to give her my honest opinion, I just tell her "yeah but it was kinda loud and too crowded". Her questions get more and more defensive about the event, eventually devolving into the "aren't you grateful they protect your freedom??" rhetoric. I tell her that isn't that I'm not grateful, its just I don't think that entire event is really that necessary or appropriate. I try and stay civil during the discussion, knowing that she is just overreacting (BTW she tried joining the army, but broke her leg in basic training and got an honorable discharge, so she was BARELY in the army). My mother proceeds to calls me unfeeling and uncaring since I'm not "grateful" for veterans and I'm not overly "god bless america". She says that she doesn't know if she can even live with me anymore, starts crying and says that I'm like an unemotional monster (i have clinical depression but haven't had an episode in months, plus my job is very physically demanding so I'm exhausted a lot). She asks me why I never joined the military (not bothering to ask my other sisters this question), knowing full well that I was planning to years ago. It wasn't until I heard about the rampant rape and assaults on women in the military that I decided not to join. I tell her that that was a justifiable reason as to why not to. She doesn't have anything to say about that but devolves back into how "america is the only country that blah blah" but I'm pretending not to listen at this point. I'm honestly confused and a shocked that she would call me unemotional and uncaring since she knows full well about my depression issues, but its justified b/c me no likey the cult worship of the military? I'm just upset and sad that that matters to her more than her relationship with me.

I'm stuck giving my little sister rides to her college now that I'm doing some paperwork before I can start my job. It's literally 2 hours a day, everyday, of me driving her and then back home, and then going to pick her up again. I literally want to kill myself. She's so rude, and my parents don't want to her to take the bus at all. But I had to take the bus every single day, an hour each way, when I was going to college, so what gives? She acts like a spoiled brat in the back and I'm afraid I'm going to get into an accident because she won't stop bitching and whining and screaming about irrelevant shit when I'm trying to drive.

>>206423Meh, I don't know anon. Depends where you live and your social group I suppose. I'm American and made it clear to everyone that I'm leaving the country for good. I left the U.S. before, and it's a falling country. Most Americans I know are really good people, and it makes me sad seeing everything falling behind/apart. To make it clear, I'm from a wealthy area and not a hick town.
It's become a country of broken people, broken dreams, etc. Most people encouraged me to leave because they also see what is happening. Many of these people are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's (I lived around a lot of friendly and awesome senior citizens) and have seen the U.S. declining. Right now I live in Europe, but I plan to move back to an East Asian country. The safety, infrastructure, continued development, and lack of crazies everywhere is really why I'm headed that direction (I know crazies exist, but not like San Francisco or New York where they are freakin everywhere…). Even South East Asia is acceptable for me personally. I'm working toward gaining permanent residency so I can bring my family over if things get too bad in the states.
I don't have any real advice on your family, but if you wish to leave, then I hope you find a way out and it's as easy and stress free journey as possible! <3
If it's any consolation, the one person who stressed to me that the U.S. is the best place ever and I shouldn't leave gave up his citizenship to become an American, his parents are miserable here, and he has security cameras in and around his home because of burglars/has multiple guns due to crime.

This is formatted more for the letter thread but I don't want to necro it.
You are so perfect and I have never felt even remotely like this about anyone ever before. You're smart, and funny, and so much like me. I've had the worst crush on you and it hasn't even been that long, but somehow it feels like its been forever.
I'm tired of unintentionally thinking about you all day and having dreams about you some nights.
I'm tired of how I act in our friend group: Forcing lots of conversations with other people to hopefully get you involved in one (when I put a lot of effort into this and fail I want to die). Pretending I care what people who aren't you say. Forcing myself to say the occasional rude remark to you like I would anyone else (when you return the favor I want to die), ignoring you here and there as if I don't care about you. Neglecting what appear to me as chances you're giving me to talk one on one with you (but I'm probably delusional). And I put in all this effort so that when you say something I can at least be around to hang on your every word, that's just as unimportant as everyone else's, but for some reason means so much to me.
I know you rejected me, and for a reason that was and still is valid. I knew going in what the answer was because of that, and I was hoping that answer would give me peace. It didn't, and because I don't know if you think I'm ugly or if you hate me or whatever, I like to lie to myself and tell me that we could be together after all. I want to cuddle with you, and go on walks with you, and just live life with you, holding hands and skipping down the street.. I'm just hoping deep down inside that if your current relationship tips that you'll magically tell me you have feelings for me, but I know it's not coming.

>he doesn't really do anything but play games during the day, but messages me about once a day, usually in the evening
but he's been like that since the beginning and is genuinely very quiet and not very talkative
>He's not very affectionate over text, usually talks to me like he would to a buddy
but he does similar things irl and has self-admittedly only ever been in one relationship of a few months, which ended because his gf dumped him for reasons above
>he never seems very interested in doing anything but cuddling and kissing when we do see each other
but he never says anything against it either, he just kind of goes with anything I suggest and is a very passive person in general
>he forgot his mother's birthday and acted like it was no big deal
She's his only parent.
>We only see each other at the weekend because we live in different cities, and he said he wouldn't be able to see me in the next couple of weeks because of some college stuff
>Seems to know what he's doing despite having never been in a proper relationship (seems fishy, but might not be)
>Is generally very sweet when we do see each other, has brought me books and borrowed some of my stuff, calls me his gf etc
I'm not keeping my hopes up but he might well be a bit socially awkward or something, he absolutely looks the type and I don't mind that. On the other hand, we would be in an LDR for a long time and he might just be trying to pump and dump me by acting the nice guy for all I know.

It reminds me of too many negative things.

All that on top of the fact that they won't fuck me, they'll fuck niggers and any scumbag with money, but not me because I have no money to offer. They have no sense of loyalty or pride in their own race, if their country is invaded the first thing they want to do is start fucking the invaders because they have the money/power now.

If the age of consent wasn't so high, all guys would prefer to be fucking 12-15 year old girls.
The only reason that's even degenerate is because it's pre-marital sex, a 13 year old girl can't consent any better than a 25 year old woman, that's why all throughout history women of any age were not allowed to consent to sex, it was their father who decided. Woman are too retarded to make these decisions even in adulthood, and letting them make decisions for themselves is literally what caused the fall of ancient Rome and modern America.
All throughout history grown men would marry 13 year old girls and there's absolutely nothing degenerate about that. You know what's degenerate? Some guy having to settle for you, and your rotten vagina that's been used by several other men, your horrible entitled feminist attitude, complete lack of morals, materialistic world-view centered around money, and 3+ strains of HPV.

Anyone who goes after 12 to 13 year olds is mentally ill, period. Older people didn't marry younger people all the time. Usually if 13 year olds were to marry, they would be married off to someone slightly older or their own age. If you look at royalty, that is also the case. Louis XVI, for example, was only a year older than his wife Marie Antoinette. They were both around 15-16 at the time of their marriage.
12 to 13 year olds are not mature, and cannot hold a decent conversation with someone much older than them.

I feel very boring and uncool. I know it's very silly to be preoccupied with being "cool" as an adult but I can't help it. I recently fell down the rabbit hole of browsing the instagrams of former classmates from high school and middle school, and I felt so absolutely lame in comparison. I know they're only documenting the fun parts of their lives on social media, but it doesn't change the fact that they have the opportunity to do so.
I just really, really want to feel cool too. I want to wear cool clothes and go to interesting places and have fun friends. I wanna have an ~aesthetic~ and a life that reflects it. I've been very boring my whole life. I was a very good student and never got in trouble, but I didn't have the opportunity to really foster many friendships or hobbies during high school because of my rocky home life. I entered a niche STEM field in college, and in addition to struggling socially, I ended up struggling academically too.
Once I graduated, I ended up bouncing around the country for a while because of my unstable home life, so I haven't had the opportunity to make new friends or focus on starting a career. Either way, I doubt I'll be able to actually pursue what I want because it isn't particularly practical or lucrative. So here I am, directionless, jobless, a bit fat and very broke, while my peers are off constantly doing cool and interesting shit.
I occasionally think about overhauling my real life and social media image. I could find a shitty job and try to save up the money to dress cool (even though I admittedly do not have the body to wear the clothes I want to), but I would be wearing a "cool" costume at best. I still wouldn't necessarily have the money or time to live a cool or interesting lifestyle.
In the end, I know that fretting over being uncool is stupid (some-people-have-war-in-their-countries.gif) but it doesn't change the fact that its still something I pine for internally.

I'm about to have a huge panic attack and I don't know what to do!! I have a few limited symptom panic attacks a week and I'm anxious all day every day but I haven't had a Big One since the beginning of the year. None of my friends are awake because I moved ~15 time zones ahead of them all, and my boyfriend is sleeping in the next room so I can't wake him up for help. I hope posting this helps somehow. I feel so trapped.

I'm going to quit my job. Corporate is creating a more complicated and hostile work environment. I have PTSD due to a abusive ex so loud noises and amplified lights does happen to be a ongoing symptom. Long story short, my manager did not care about my condition and a 50 year old woman on my team spread a rumor about me when I had a panic attack. I tried to kill myself last night. I'm sad. Everyday I thought I could do better and sweep my feelings under the rug but it has gotten worst. I've been there for awhile so it's not a worry to get a similar job cause FUCK this one. I want to be happy like when I first started, not deal with this shit.

I can't find the work thread, so I'll post it here.
I had an odd experience at work today. I commonly close the door to my office because my desk faces away from the door and not being able to see behind me while I'm working sucks. I have a "please knock" sign on my door, and when someone comes by I'll just stand up and open it.
So today I was sitting at my desk half-working-half-staying-awake, and I hear someone open the door. I spin around and am greeted with a co-worker and the fire marshal. It was apparently sprinkler inspection day.
"Oh hey Anon, this is the new Fire Marshal. You don't have to shake his hand, I know your hands might be sticky from, y'know, bein' in here alone."
I immediately froze at the very implication, and stammered out a "N-no, of course not!"
The Fire Marshal, confused by this exchange, chose not to shake my hand and instead pointed his laser at the sprinkler heads, gave it the all-clear, and left. The co-worker smiled and waved as he left.
And I just felt so DIRTY afterwards. Is this what it's like? What it's like to be triggered? Why would he even come into my office and suggest that in front of a total stranger? I didn't know this guy. This was my first meeting with him, ever. I knew the last guy because I submitted paperwork for him, but I wouldn't make a joke like that to the last guy, much less this guy.
What the heck?
Am I wrong to be so freaked out right now?

I just started college a month ago and I'm miserable. I haven't made any friends because I don't have the money to live on campus and I drive instead. My professors are the only people I really interact with outside of my family. All of my friends but one are long-distance at this point and I don't even want to be around her because she's become so delusional and aggressive because she's "transitioning" into a guy or some other insane bs. Never had any kind of interaction with guys in high school so when it comes down to it, I feel like I'm just a shitty, fat, ugly 18 year old virgin doomed to be a female incel. I find myself turning to my anime husbandos for comfort and it makes me feel so gross because I think I'm regressing mentally. Nothing remotely sexual interests me anymore, although it's not like I ever got the chance to have sex or anything.
I can barely get myself up in the morning to wash and go to school. I feel like I'm growing distant from everyone I care about and I can't stand it. My life sucks and I have no idea how to make anything better because my usual coping mechanism is avoidance. I don't go to any clubs on campus and I leave as soon as classes are over because I'm tired and hungry and cranky from never sleeping well and I always look and feel out of place on campus. I'm short and fat and greasy no matter how much I try to look better. I feel so insecure about myself and even though I know my family loves me I don't want to bother them with my problems. Everything pisses me off now. I feel like college brought on so many of these issues. What do? Am I just depressed or is it something else ;_;

I go to a small liberal arts school about 45 minutes away from my house. I have no idea if any of my professors are currently doing research, but they're all empathetic and willing to help students out. However, I did drop a class two weeks ago because the professor was an asshole. That also has been lingering in my mind.
I have a few clubs I want to join, and I think next week I'll try going to a club or two. I just hate either having to stay on campus all day or driving myself to school or back in rush hour traffic.

which is another reason why I NEED a job, I want to pay my own bills and take the stupid location thing off so they don't accuse me of being on drugs everytime I turn my phone off and they can't watch my every fucking step
problem. I need gas, I live in the middle of nowhere, I'd walk there if I have to just to get the fuck away from them, but they won't allow it if I can't drive to the location, a lot of places I'm applying to require in-person applications, if I try to print it at home they go through it and start calling me a liar, telling me to remove random things etc (ex, I got rewards in high school, which they don't believe because they never came to the reward ceremony so they called me a compulsive liar and told me to take it off as well as me speaking other languages I learned from reading and taking classes)
I want to print it out at the library, which is fine I don't mind, anyway, the problem is that my last employer didn't fire me but they fired me, meaning I showed up, saw my schedule and only got 15 hours, which would barely pay, started feeling myself starve and breakdown while trying to check out customers, got told to go home, showed up next day, be sat down in office, get told "this isn't mutual you don't benefit us contact us in 6 months when you feel better and we will see"

I hate the way my body looks.
I've had really saggy breasts since I started wearing bras, and I feel like I have stretch marks everywhere (I have some really visible vertical red ones on my stomach). I don't know what to do. I need to stop being such a pussy and lose all this extra weight I have but I have such a bad feeling that even if I got down to 100 I would still fucking hate myself. Not to sound like a teenager, but I can't even stand looking in the mirror at this point.

I feel like tooting my own horn here, but maybe it's our relationship going a bit south that has made his sad. I know that's what makes me depressed. I'm even sadder that he won't communicate things.
The other thing I'm worried about is that he has been exposed too much to the thinking of his /r9k/-tier buddies.

I will probably get made fun of for my reaction to this, but did anybody else see this thread?
https://twitter.com/annetdonahue/status/916013055107928064NYT released a story on Harvey Weinstein's countless allegations of sexual harassment over the years. I saw it on trending so I looked through it and found this tweet. I read every single reply and had to try really hard not to cry because some of them sound like experiences I've had and I know my friends have had. It just breaks my heart that almost every single woman I know has a story like this of varying severity.
Will things ever fucking change or do we just have to keep our mouths shut and deal with this? I know I'm overreacting but this just makes me so angry I feel like I need to self harm. Being a woman seems so fucking hopeless, like no matter what we do people can act like they respect us and see us as something more than just a walking fleshlight with no feelings or ambitions but they're lying. I really want to vent about this but I can't actually put my thoughts into words. There's just too much going on in my head.

Today I had that Friday feeling and took my time getting ready, I actually feel like myself for once and wasn't even hating the idea of work but four men have told me to smile for no reason and another walked up and told me I looked like I had a cold and then walked away again seemingly offended when I asked why he was telling me that. None of this was mid conversation or even friends, just random guys who work in the same huge company that half walked past.
I know that I'm just extra sensitive to it because I'm hormonal right now, but this never happens so much when I don't put in the effort with makeup so it feels really obviously like some kind of negging thing even though guys always say things like "I tell everyone to smile! It's a nice thing not a sexist thing!".
And then a random guy who had been a nice adjusted human in a stream yesterday sent me an instagram message this morning and then complained that I was "hardly replying" and "replied late" so now I'm stuck trying to compose replies that are polite enough that they can't come back to haunt me, but firm enough that he knows I don't need to take that shit from a stranger.
I felt good this morning, and now I just feel like blobfish in makeup and want to be left alone by the men of this world.
>>207507Solidarity for you anon. I'm glad that I live somewhere that physical harassment is at least something we have the law on our side about but it feels like stuff never gets much better.

But, don't fret. I know in this world it seems like for every 1 person who understands what it is like and what you are going through, there are 10 others telling you to change your mind about it, but you are making the best choice for yourself and tbh in life all you have is yourself.

when driving, I avoid driving at the same speed as cars next to me so they don't look at me through my window
at work when I was a cashier, some of the most stressful moments were thanks to people who didn't want to buy their shit and get out, I felt an odd form of secondhand embarrassment everytime someone would come up to me and ask something like "does this come in a 34C"
I avoided job interviews, canceled on my friends, etc just because I was too embarrassed to ask my parents

this has been happening for the longest time
once I was at the zoo in a line for a ride, just trying to have fun, a group of men kept FUCKING STARING AT ME, and I noticed, was creeped out, this woman behind me was talking to me and she said "hey those guys there keep staring at you" and I was like "yeah, it's really creepy"

>>207771afaik, I'm the only one that it happens to regularly. One of my neighbours had one of the panes in her door broken but the police think that's because she came out to investigate a weird noise or something. Somebody else had their car stolen but it's assumed that's unrelated because it doesn't match up with the other things.
I asked around because I thought maybe it was a case of mistaken identity and the previous owner had made enemies but my neighbours told me the previous owners were an elderly couple and the house was sold so they could move somewhere more suited to their needs.
Everybody that lives around me knows it's happening and they're all being really good about it and offering help wherever they can, but most of them have jobs and busy lives so there are times when it's practically dead and there's nobody around to see. If anything happens during working hours or in the middle of the night, there's pretty much nothing for me to tell the police. They've noticed a few things, like somebody lurking with a hood up or groups of teens, but the police can't pinpoint the culprit that way.
Honestly even I've never been able to find anything out and I've stayed awake a few nights just waiting for something to happen. The incidents are never focused on one thing and it's hard to keep track of the whole house and move fast enough to see who is responsible.

why do I get so annoyed with everything? I feel embarrassed and annoyed when people talk to me or about me, like really bad, physical pain and I start having these panic attacks that end up with me hyperventilating for hours, punching walls, digging into my skin, scratching my face, pulling out my hair, etc
I kept getting anxiety when my mom wanted to go on the computer because I was showing her some uni stuff and she kept trying to go through files and stuff, I flipped out, hyperventilated for hours, pulled out my hair, punched walls, locked myself in a room, screamed for hours, etc
this isn't the first time it happened over random stuff, my mom was talking to my grandpa about my graduation and I had a similar breakdown similar to the one mentioned earlier, I just don't know what to do anymore, I had a job for like 3 weeks when I got fired because I cried because I could barely afford to fucking eat with the hours they gave me
why do I react this way anons? I try to control it but I can't
I broke my mirror before because I was about to got to work, I feel physically sick and in pain when I know people talk about me
I feel physically in pain and feel this awful awful feeling in my stomach when I see even a normal picture of myself
I feel embarrassment when people talk to me, not embarrassed for me I feel embarrassed for them they didn't want to be quiet and go about their day, I feel a sense of embarrassment everytime I apply to a job I feel physical pains at job interviews I feel physical pain when I see people talk about work, owning a business etc, I don't understand why do I get secondhand embarassment at people who do normal things to make a living? I've been poor my entire life so it's not like a sense of entitlement or anything whats wrong with me

On what I thought was going to be a relaxing day off, I had to drive her all over the place because she doesn't have a car. It involved making trips between people for certain keys to things, almost getting pressured into driving a Jeep of someone I didn't even know during rush hour traffic, and going to her storage unit. One time I had to turn around and get her after she asked to be dropped off somewhere.
She was really apologetic but I was still kind of annoyed. I want to be a helpful friend, but at the same time I'm a person that needs a lot of alone time in order to socially recharge.
I just spent the whole weekend with her for the wedding stuff, but now her asking to be here until november feels stifling. I just wanted to get high and watch cartoons on my days off, now it's awkward because now there's a person with different tastes than me occupying the living room/kitchen area. I have to go buy a clothing rack because there's no place to hang her clothes even.
I'm also terrified of having friends as roommates because I know things can sour in living situations. She claims she has a place to go by november, and I hope that doesn't change.
I don't mean to sound overreactive but it really is asking a lot.

>>208009I would suggest you set up some hard deadlines and a cohesive plan with her if you decide to let her stay. I've seen people in your position, and their friend just sort of kludges shit together and acts surprised it fell apart and they just stick around long past the original due date.

>>208147Protips for someone who's done that before.
Withdraw a good amount of cash out of your bank account. Not all of it, ideally 75-100 USD. Go to a gas station or convenience store and have it broken into a few different sized bills. Keep 20 bucks, or 4 5 dollar bills in an easily accessible place. Keep the rest in a wallet in your back pocket or somewhere not obvious.
If you're running -from- someone, like a bad living situation. If you've got a backpack and a laptop, take those along, as well as your phone, travel toiletries, some underwear and at least one change of clothes. Immediately start looking for homeless shelters in your area. This'll be pretty easy if you're a woman. Most major cities have a runaway shelter or two for women escaping abusive situations. The runaway shelters are often in anonymous areas and will taxi you in. Others will require you to make your way there. The worst ones are first to come first serve and overnight only.
Net cafes, Mcdonalds and other eateries with free wifi are your friends. Buy something cheap and camp out until you can find somewhere more permanent. Spend as little as you can and try not to sleep in weird places.
Alternatively, if you're having an anxiety attack and you're filled with the urgent need to run away from home from some perceived danger, don't. Call the ambulance, you might need to spend a few days in the psych ward. I don't mean that in an insulting way, btw. You might genuinely need a brain reset at the hospital.

Today a friend sent me pictures of us from middle school. Apart from giving me a heavy dose of nostalgia it made me realize something:
I'm ugly.
It's something I've struggled with for a long time. Feeling ugly, feeling gross. But still hoping that maybe I was just seeing myself wrong this whole time.
Nope. I'm just ugly.
I have a big face, a weird nose, thin lips, bad skin, and I'm a little chubby. My face is just ugly. My body isn't nice. Fully realizing this and accepting it makes me sad, but it also makes me feel free.
I feel more motivated to work on my skincare routine, to grow my hair longer, and especially to diet and exercise with more dedication. I feel like even if I wear weird clothes I can just accept I look weird because I know I'm ugly instead of fretting over it too much.
I don't know, guys. I feel sad. Maybe if I lost 15 pounds and got plastic surgery, I could almost be cute.
But I am and always have been ugly and I am finally accepting that. I feel more motivated to work on my personality, accomplishments, and health.
It was just a weird realization I needed to talk about.
p.s. I am struggling in school and my health continues to deteriorate. My life is confusing and at some times terrible, but at least I got this figured out.

I have always accepted that what I wasn't isn't for most people, but at the same time I think it's best to be honest and keep communication open instead of guiltily keeping secrets/lying even if nothing is actually changed by it. I really appreciate that he loves me despite knowing I'm not perfect, however as long as you are as considerate to the other person or working to 'wear them down' then I don't think it's right to fully censor yourself out of fear in a relationship, if you shouldn't be with someone then you shouldn't deceive them as a way to selfishly keep them

To be fair to my bf, he did stand up for me; he told his mom to fuck off and immediately booked us an airbnb for a couple weeks so we can look for a place to rent properly. But of course he’s deeply hurt by the whole thing and I feel badly about it because it’s my fault.
It’s a terrible foot to get a relationship off of and I don’t know if I should break things off for both of our sakes or what. I don’t have much of a support system back home either so that doesn’t matter much. Obviously I would be more accepted for my current weight in the states but I’m changing that so it’d only be a bandaid fix.

>>207882she isn't the problem, its her boyfriend. he showed up out of the blue and suddenly a few weeks later he moves my family 300 miles away, her, my grandma, my sisters. i visited as a surprise this spring, shook his hand, introduced myself, and literally on our first interaction he said i'm "rude" and to "pack up and get the fuck out". my poor sisters and granny all cried their eyes out, and he didn't even let me sit in the driveway.
when i was a teen she used this old abuse tactic, calling everyone we know and telling wildly exaggerated lies about me, but after i called the CPS i wasnt allowed to go to school, use a phone or internet, she controlled the money from my job to keep from saving up or escaping, and i never left the house without her.
obviously the long distance and both being adults didnt stop this, which led to him despising me. she tried to do damage control, physically restrained me into wasting my tickets home, suggesting i just hide from him, get me to beg his forgiveness and apologize (???), but that dude is an absolute dumbass idiotic gorilla and i couldn't even imagine putting myself in another abusive bf situation. i ended up sleeping in a hostel which was disgusting and terrifying but interesting. it was funny to hear that she wouldn't even drop me off at the airport after making me waste $600 and 3 trips home because she was too busy chauffeuring him around town.
again, i know she will always choose any random guy above me and i dont care, but i just wanted to be there on my baby sisters birthdays instead of mailing off these stupid boxes.

Either way, dont' argue with her, just ice her out whilst being as respectable as possible. She's going to hate you anyway for 'taking her little prince away' so there's no reason to pay much attention to her, but a little effort without groveling too much can't hurt

I just hate parts of society right now. I always feel intimidated by the prospect that people won't take me seriously as a woman. I know that I have a lot of great people in my life who don't do that, but I always end up talking myself out of saying or doing things because I get this misogynist voice in my head that I get angry at. It's just a detached voice now. I think I just need to stay away from websites like these. Like lolcow and fucking reddit and facebook. Is there a website that is more notorious for creative/constructive/positive topics that don't have as much to do with politics and criticisms of others?
I feel like I'm always angry because there's somebody who's fucking ignorant about something they're talking about and only get more indignant or avoidant when they get called out. Could you at least admit I said something that might make you think I'm not some flaming SJW liberullll girl because I called you out for acting like a horde of strawman liberals pushed you into the middle of a circle and slapped your penis around? Why is it when I'm irrational and emotional it's because I'm a woman, but when men are doing it it's because of some ridiculous zealous pride and the feeling that they're right! I didn't know that if I just pretend I'm right and deny everything outright people would still support and clap for me! Gee, maybe I should just double down on extinguishing all dignity and just pretend to be a man from now on! All I really wanted was for someone to have a discussion with me on the internet (LOL) without them going back in my reddit history, seeing I've had an abortion and decided to talk about it with another woman, and then effectively downgrading my argument because I had a medical procedure based on an accident I had with a long term boyfriend! Wow! I wasn't slutting it up, and I thought the protection I was using was enough to prevent it! I was wrong, oh no, people make mistakes! Sorry I didn't suffer because you think I should be punished you misogynist fuck. You want me to punish my boyfriend too?
Fuck I fucking hate people. I just want to know there's a place where a lot of good people exist. I know they're out there, I know I'm just being cynical, I just feel like killing myself sometimes because of how it feels like I have to scream in a man's face until his fucking face holes bleed out for them to understand how fucking sick of all this snarky boo-boo-baby patronizing bullshit I have to hear. But if I complain about my boyfriend waiting for me to do the chores instead of him doing them himself, I get REEEE I DO THE DISHES I'M SELF SUFFICIENT GET ANOTHER MAN REE NOT ALL MEN. Sorry, I didn't realize I just kept attracting men that don't know how to do the most menial chores.
Fuck, this is just more ranting. I'm just attracting the negativity myself. I found a website called "the straight dope" and I hope that's a little more rational than all the bullshit I keep exposing myself to. It's not you guys, it's just me being unable to regulate how I choose to spend my time, so I create my own unhealthy bias by repeatedly exposing myself to choice negative content. I need to sip some lemonade and lay down rn and it's only almost 8 AM.

You ranted about something real and genuinely frustrating and then resolved that you actually know you just need to spend less time on places like here or reddit. It's a hard balance between not constantly focusing on negative stuff but also not allowinng yourself to be gaslit.
Just a word of warning that most places that use languages like 'comfy' tend to be as toxic deep down, you're best finding communities about a strict interest e.g. DIY upholstering, or just spending less time online in general.

I just need to rant, again.
I'm the anon who recently ranted about their mother.
My mother came home today pissed that our apartment was messy because of me. She was gone a week and said she will be here at 4 pm. She was here at 2 pm. So I wanted to do everything before 4 but since she came early I could not. So yeah kinda my fault for making it this messy (I was working on some stuff so mostly art things were laying around). Anyways I take that blame so whatever. But the reason why she was extremely pissed was because her new boyfriend will come over today. Which I did not know and I'm pissed that she did not tell me I mean I live here too and I am basically paying rent too.
I need to tell her who is coming too. The main reason why I am angry about it is because that man is a Turkish refugee and they only know each other for like 3 weeks now .
I'm just scared that I'll go through the same emotional draining shit again that happened 3/4 years ago or so.
A little background is needed for this ; my mother was married for around 5 years or so to a Turkish guy who was around 20 year old younger (while my sister and I where around 11/12 years old). He only wanted to get a visa and some money. Even I as a 11 year old kid understood it at that time. My mother didn't care about me or my sisters feelings and that guy lived with us for the next 5 or 6 years. Obviously it was hell. He didn't even speak our language until the second year or so. Did not have a job until the second year or so and even then only had minimum wage. They where fighting constanly because my mother is a crazy bitch. Everyone was on edge the whole time but my mother blamed me and my sisterfor everything and would get mad for no reason, scream at us hit us etc.
So I actually talked to her about her new bf today because everything seems too sketchy. That guy is kinda her age and has 2 kids and a wife. I told her that I'm not comfortable going through the same shit again. Because right now it just seems like he wants some desperate chick that will pay for him and well that sweet sweet visa.
My mother did not care and is now even blaming me. I'm just tired of this shit. I want to move out because clearly we don't like each other but I can't. She told me that I would need to sue her to get money (I'm a student, in my country parents have to give you a certain amount of money each month if you move out and can't afford an apartment yourself)
I'm just tired of everything. She has been emotionally and physically abusing me for years now and now that I am old enough to move out I can't because she would rather go on vacation 5 times a year, than supporting me in this decision.
I am sorry for this rant. I just told my Dad so hopefully he has an idea what I can do about this.

>>208817Oh anon, I really feel like giving you a big hug rn to show you some support. Dealing with mysoginism is one of the most frustrating things on internet debates (and irl), specially since it's so normalized to an extent that there's always people justifying it with things like 'well, that's how the real world works' or 'it's a scientific fact womyn dis womyn dat' (even when their "based" sources are pop psych publications and cherry picking). And when they can't keep up with a debate, they go straight to attack you with shitty ad hominem or trying to diminish your argument rambling on generalizations.
Don't let that shit let you down, anon. You cannot fight stupid and win, in their minds they will always be right and the more someone try to disprove them, the more in the right they are. Keep your cool and don't internalize any shit they say. Focus on things you enjoy irl, strengthen your relationships so you get a better group of support and try to find ways to make yourself better.
You also said your bf don't help around with the chores? If his excuse is that he doesn't know how to do something, well then, he can learn. You know him right? You know how his mind works, do there must be a way to 'train' him to help around the house.

>>208995lmfao yeah you should do something about it. i pick up candida fighting supplements from the store or amazon. there's a candida remedy by Now (the vitamin company) that works and i also have used candida cleanse by rainbow light which works very well! don't go to a doc for a yeastie unless she's a persistent one tbh. docs will give you diflucan, which works most of the time, but if you use it to clear up every infection it'll become inefficient after a while. also, in my experience, monistat doesn't really work and can give you chemical burns. i find that when i use monistat, it never really fully clears up the infection and the yeastie returns in a few days.
for home remedies i'd suggest drinking some (diluted) oregano oil. applying tea tree oil mixed with coconut oil is A LIFESAVER for the itchiness and also tto is antifungal i believe. you could try peeling a clove of garlic, scratch the surface with a needle twice, sew a thread through the thick end, and inserting it similar to a tampon. i've also made oregano oil/coconut oil and tto/coconut oil suppositories before which also work well, but you have to do those overnight because they'll leak out.
take a strong probiotic as well, they work best on an empty stomach. stay clear from sugar, alcohol and carbs because those feed the yeast. you could also do a probiotic suppository, i do one every month after my cycle for "maintenance" to replenish the good bacteria.
don't wear leggings or tight clothing. no thongs, and cotton underwear only. actually, if there's any opportunity you have to go commando, take it.
sorry if this is a lot of information, i had a lot of yeast infections this year bc of my iud so i've become a professional at getting rid of them.

>>209004I wouldn't be surprised, so I should probably show up. I do think you're right and hoping it's that and not something else. Probably have to go after midterms though. I've met a few of the people in the club through other things, but I know that's not saying much, though one of them is a team leader and another is in leadership.
I tend to have a slightly negative impression of certain CS types, so I'm trying to be fair, I just don't want to grovel for a job is all. It's like, I'm a fucking tech major too, I tend to like people in my field, but there are
some people who can just be bleh. Maybe things will change when I start showing up, but if not…meh.

>>209014I mean it's apples to oranges but I'm part of an engineering club, and we're in the middle of some projects. If someone I never heard of started posting on our discord I would be strongly inclined to ignore them and tell one of their friends to get them to actually show up. There may very well be a number of people just being dumb because of your gender, but I doubt every leader of every project would be motivated like that.
>but there are some people who can just be bleh.Are we talking individuals or stereotypes though? Like if two individuals don't click that's one thing, but I've chewed out a few people in the past because they took negative stereotypes too seriously.

>>202716i'm too scared to give my boyfriend up by breaking up with him, but we're basically not even in a relationship anymore.
i hate talking to him and do as little of it as i can. i make excuses for why i ignore him when the truth is i really just hate talking to him. i resent him a little bit for things that have happened in our relationship. i blame myself for why we're in such a shitty place, but i blame him for why i hate talking to him. he makes me feel bad about myself because i know he doesn't genuinely care about me. he doesn't care about anything.
i've been doing a lot of drugs lately, and while i'm high i sometimes talk to other guys. it's nothing non-platonic, but sometimes i wish it could be. i never tell the guys i have a boyfriend, which i know is a scummy thing to do, but i don't even FEEL like i have a boyfriend. i miss what we had in the beginning, and it's those memories that keep me with him and stop me from cheating, even if it wouldn't truly feel like cheating at this point. i'm starved for male affection and attention. my life is a mess.

A friend invited me to go to "North Safari Sapporo" zoo. I knew nothing going in but I heard it was outside the city on a mountain so I expected better than average conditions (so lots of space) for a Japanese zoo. I feel sick that I went. On top of disgust at the horrific conditions the animals were in, the trashy ass patrons seemed to find no issue with it and it just disappoints me so greatly that this kind of treatment of animals is acceptable. I'm pleased that I found a good handful of negative reviews online that share my same thoughts but the 5 star reviews are by far more common. I've seen some less than stellar things with the treatment of pets and animals here but it's a fucking pill to swallow to realize that maybe it's not just lax animal welfare laws allowing shitty people to do shitty things. Your average Joe actively supports it as well.
I know this isn't the god damned San Diego zoo, but I've been to quite a lot of aquariums in Japan, and while there's conditions that could be better here and there my biggest complaint has been space for the larger animals. I've generally always felt the animals are kept clean and well cared for.
It's impossible to list all the things I took issue with but I really need to vent about this…
My friend reserved a "have breakfast with a giraffe!" package and for some reason I naively assumed it was a place that kind of had its shit together? A member of staff took us to our breakfast. It was quite nicely presented and we were able to feed the giraffe carrots and apples while we ate. I immediately noticed the giraffe's area is quite small, and the weather is far too cold (10c with heavy winds), but shit just kept getting weirder. A serval cat came into the giraffe's area. Then a hyena. They both took interest in the giraffe's tail and kept trying to grab it.
The staffmember took us for a walk down to a surprise that came with our package. Feeding a tiger. I already had moral objections to it but my heart dropped further when I saw how it was housed.
The tiger (and lions I later saw, all extremely underweight) was housed in a 10x10ft steel cage with concrete floors and a dog. Again, 10c and even if there was sunlight it wouldn't have reached. He had a collar and was chained up to a safe distance so we could feed it. I was absolutely uncomfortable about the whole situation. I took pictures of my friend and he lost a few points with me, since he showed no sign of upset at the situation and instead felt regret that I didn't take a video.
The staffmember who had been showing us around was kind of rough with the tiger and joking around and treating it as if it was a dumb animal for not understanding it needed to come over to have its chain unhooked. Even more upsetting is that there is absolutely enough land for every animal there to have as much/more space than animals in western zoos so there's really no excuse.
>absolutely not a single animal kept in satisfactory conditions
>outdoor forest area with about 40 different owls and hawks with their feet tethered down. It quickly dawned on me that these birds must be tethered 24/7
>"rare animals" area where the staff took out animals for you to hold. Monkey in a small cage, meercat alone circling its tank and was barking out clearly stressed, alligator with its mouth taped shut, skinks in a bucket with a weak heat lamp. All animals had no access to food or water. This area was also in the cold
>In one of a few separate heated rooms there were marmosets and iguanas on the ground. I saw a patron accidentally wheel her baby carriage over an iguana's tail. Another patron kept prodding a marmoset until it bit him. Multiple people just grabbed and picked up whatever animals they could find. Absolutely no staff to be seen.
>pretty much any animal was encouraged to be touched and there were no hiding places
I didn't show my disapproval since I didn't want to bum out my friend but I can't seem to get this off my mind. I know shit like this happens but it's really soul crushing to experience it and I feel like such an asshole for giving them my money which clearly isn't being used to give their fucking attractions a satisfactory meal.

>>208009Me again.
She said she's leaving on Saturday and giving bf $250 for rent (~$20/day). She sold some of her work stock and got a check for $3k that I personally saw, so she can't tell us she has no money. I just hope she spends wisely, because last night she was showing me furniture sets she wanted to buy for her new place for $1500. Not sure if the stress is causing her priorities to get mixed up, but I thought that was pretty impulsive behavior for someone vulnerable like her when she should probably be saving right now.
I've been slightly off-put the entire week because my living room looks like a bomb went off inside it. I've had to pick up after trash, cups, dirty dishes, uneaten food, etc. I thought she might clean up the place or cook dinner one night, but she's been making herself scarce during the day and comes to roost during the evening. I'm usually awakened by her power-shitting in my bathroom because she has IBS, or showering which she does everyday. It's a good thing that she's gone a lot so I don't get mad, but she could be doing more.
Originally she was making me drive her all over hell, but I got irritated one night from her demands and she hasn't asked again since. She can't drive and has no car, so she relies on others.
In the process, she mucked up my freshly clean car from putting dirty suitcases on the seats, and has a lot of random junk sitting in my car trunk still that needs to go to her storage unit.
Never gave me any gas money like she said so I'm happy to oblige not taking her anyplace.
I'm venting a lot here so everything probably sounds more strained than reality, in fact we're pretty amicable at the moment. It's just that there's these inconsiderations and annoyances that I'm overlooking until she leaves for the sake of our friendship. It's funny because I always thought she was a clean/organized person, but she's actually pretty damn messy. I guess it's different when you actually live with friends and you see a different side to them.

We hired a new guy at work ~4 months ago.
He seemed like a fast learner during the week of his working interview but ever since he got hired on fully, any trace of that went down the drain. He's so goddamn slow at everything, messes up on a daily basis, he's barely signed off on anything so someone basically has to watch him do every thing because it can't be guaranteed he won't mess up, is constantly 10-15 minutes late, and doesn't question anything that might seem off when he does testing.
Case in point: on one of the few things the supervisor thought he could test, which is so damn straightforward: weigh boat you're putting sample in, record it, put sample in, record weight, put in over overnight, read in morning, determine % of water lost.
He didn't question when a sample he did ended up with over 100% water. Didn't tell anyone. Just rolled with it until it went to reviewing, was caught, and we had to retest it (makin the testing late). Another time with the same type of test, when the average for the samples in question was 90-92% water, he got two that were in the 60s. No questioning there either (when all others were in the correct range). I ended up reviewing that data and told the supervisor that that didn't look right (and it wasn't. Pretty sure the balance wasn't zeroed out because all of our weigh boats weigh at least 3g and the two bad ones had their weights as ~2.2g).
He also can't do simple shit, like making labels. Every time he's done it we've had to throw half of them away because he gets the lot number wrong… and it's right there in front of him. There's literally no excuse for it.
Like, I don't know why we're giving this fucker so many chances. He is not meant for this job and it's irritating because it really feels like we're wasting time and money trying to make it work. I swear the only reason he's still here is because we don't like firing people but damn. If I was in charge, he would've been gone after a month because he has not improved since then. Basically, if there's a 3-5 day gap in between him doing something and doing it again, it's like it's brand-fucking-new, even when he's done it four other times before.

Ugh okay here we go… Wasn't sure whether I should post this in the shitty friend thread or the advice thread, but I thought this would be fitting.
I'm in college. My roommates can be so. awful. I don't know if I'm going to be able to explain this properly. All they ever talk about is really pointless shit like gossip about our friends and how they're doing in school. That's it. And whenever they ask me about my interests or even how my day is, before I can even finish my point they interrupt and end up talking about something else anyway. Literally all they talk about are their friends, their clubs, clothes, and I never get to talk about any of my interests at all. They blast their shitty ass high school musical soundtracks but I never get to play anything I listen to because they think it's weird. I accompany them to their hobbies, but they flat out tell me they don't want to go watch movies with me because they don't like movies so I'll just have to go on my own.
Honestly, all the stuff above is tolerable. I'm not bothered about not being able to talk about myself (even though that's all my roommates ever do). The issue is that because they never let me talk about myself, whenever I'm feeling really terrible (ex. suicidal thoughts, anxiety, etc.) I never get a chance to fully express that. I always enjoy giving advice to them whenever they vent to me about their school stress, but whenever I hint at feeling really bad they either just brush it off or think "oh it's just anon being sarcastic again hahaha." Further, they're so self-centered that whenever one of their other friends tell them about personal issues (ex. sexual assault, depression, etc.) they come and complain to me about how stressed it makes them, which definitely makes me not want to open up to them about how 80% of the time we go out to drink I end up contemplating suicide. I literally have zero self esteem, but whenever I say anything self-deprecating they think I'm joking and laugh about it (note: I'm not fishing for compliments, I usually just mutter this shit under my breath). I also can't break off rooming with them because 99% of my friend group is better friends with them so I'll end up having no friends as a result of it. Also, as mentioned I think my declining mental health has given me a very boring personality so I can't make new friends and ditch them.
I'm sorry, some of the people on here are complaining about actual things and my problems seem so dumb and superficial, but I literally had to put this out somewhere or else I'd go crazy since evidently I can't talk about this with anyone else.

I'm sick of my dad. And my sister is a tool.
My brother attempted suicide with pills and he was admitted to the ICU. Apparently my sister was screaming at my mom as she was trying to move him out the tub (he drowned). I hope she gets shot.
My dad went to ICU to tell everyone what a good dad he was despite him being drunk enough to stink up the room my family was in. He left and hasn't visited my brother or my mom since.
I want to beat the shit out of my sister. I want to crush her hands. She won't be able to hurt people if she has no hands to beat people with.

>>209174>>209165hysteranon saying thanks to both of you. I've been feeling so shit about the whole thing. Having trouble feeling 'feminine' whatever that means, I still have one ovary but I don't think it's working very well. Cervix is gone, everything is gone. It feels weird. It's only been six months since the surgery and most people I know who've had it say it took a year for the belly incision to even begin to heal properly.
I had a massive loss in hair too, the doctors say it's telogen effluvium (sp?) and common after surgery, that it should grow back, but it just makes me sad to see handfuls of hair every time I wash it. I can look at pictures of myself right before the operation and my hair was so thick and shiny and I can barely gather it into a ponytail now.
I didn't really have a choice. They thought my right ovary was cancerous (it wasn't, but the fibroid was strangling it) and I had a five month sized fibroid in there. Once they said cancer I was too scared for them to do anything else but take it all out. There was no way I would have been able to deal with worrying if it would have become cancerous, if I left it alone. I just feel ugly and weird in my body and it makes me sad.
I'm feeling sorry for myself but thanks for letting me vent to you and thanks for talking to me.

>>209213>>209221women are, sadly, just as capable of sexual violence as men and apparently becoming more comfortable with expressing that desire to harm. my therapist says that she's heard more about girls sexually abused by female family members in the past ten years than ever before.
personally, the 'me too' garbage
triggers the fuck out of me. i was molested by my mother from the time i was six till i was fourteen. she slept with me in a twin bed. there was no guy involved. my mom. to this day, i don't know why she did it.
she came to visit me about four years ago and we were watching tv and she tried to do it again. i stopped her, but it was fucked up because my brain clicked back into little kid mode. i even let her stay at my house until the visit was over, can you believe this shit? i am a fucking imbecile. i had to go no contact with her. the fact that she would even think to put her hands on me again, as an adult is so insane to me.
i know i'm being an asshole by minimizing their pain. that hashtag minimizes mine. yes, harassment in the workplace sucks. but it's not the same. the women who were abused or raped by him, yes, i feel for them. but to say that harassment in the workplace is equal? no. i couldn't escape, and couldn't say no, and it was my mom. i had no way out. a lot of these women, i feel like all they had to do was walk out the door. i was fucked over in the worst way by the person who's supposed to love you and care for you the most in the world, to always be there for you. it's fucked me up. obviously.

I've been so apathetic lately. I don't want to do anything besides rest. I'm tired of thinking and worrying over the same stupid shit, caring too much for people who likely don't care as much about me, and I'm tired of being awake.

I've never hurt my friends intentionaly, but I've been dependent of them, kind of how you described your closest friend. The only reason I was that way (always asking if I did something wrong, asking how they were, if they were okay with me) was that even if they tried to hide it, I felt like something was wrong. It's just something that I could feel, saw some glances, heard some comments…Idk, when you've known people for that long is not that hard to know if something's not right.
If I were you, I'd try to talk with them, specially with your closest friend. Try to be as sincere as you can, tell her what exactly bothers you about her and think that you're not doing it to hurt her, you're doing it because if not, you may feel as if you're just lying to everyone.

It's so annoying trying to talk to my mom about like my sleep problems and stuff. I've been taking sleeping meds all week and they've had absolutely no effect at all and it just really sucks.

Like I'm tired all the time and just not happy and I keep falling asleep in class and at home and that just makes me feel useless and like I'm wasting time. Stepdad gets annoyed that I skip on my chores for a day, Grandpa gets huffy that I don't wait on him hand and foot and Mom says just "Go to sleep at night. It takes two weeks to make something a habit" and I've tried and tried and I just can't and just asdsxgik I'm probably just being an overdramatic little shit about this but it sucks and I hate not being able to do anything about it. I can't even sit in class like a normal human and everyone takes my problems so lightly. Like it's just starting to get to be too much to handle

i was kicked out of my moms house for gay reasons a little while back and i’ve been living with my gf and her family with plans of going to school and eventually moving out with her but I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated because it’s seems like she just doesn’t care about anything
i mean, we stopped going to school because after failing a couple of semesters, was denied financial aid. No problem, we’ll take a break and raise some money for classes. It was going well at first, I was putting half of my check away for savings and my gf would put away a quarter of hers (she has a care note to pay). After a few weeks, she started pulling from our savings for weed and a while later, it was eventually depleted because of emergencies, food (if it was a slow couple of weeks at work) and mostly hundreds of dollars worth of weed. Shed claim she wants to stop, but as soon as we try, she gets really irritable and aggressive and starts buying again the next day or two. This was even going on when it was giving me serious health problems. Ive had bronchitis for weeks and couldn’t quit despite me not having the insurance to cover a doctors visit.
Unfortunately, the flood took over our place of work so we had to find new jobs. On top of that, she has a car note and a $75 fine to every month for a few months, as well as $25 to pay towards her credit debt. We’ve been using the money that I got from selling my own car that was rendered useless because of flood damage that I intended to use for emergency funds or hopefully even a down payment for our first apartment.
After hours of applying over a few weeks, I landed a pretty good job and will start my training as soon as I get a call from my manager today or tomorrow.
My gf hasn’t turned in a single application. She told her mom she’s been applying when she asks about it and it’s so frustrating because she could just do it without lying to her mom? She’s turned to selling stuff with this app so that she could pay her fine and debt while her mom covers her car note, but the money just keeps going to another gram and it’s frustrating because I’ve used all of my savings to help with her pay for stuff, to get us food, food for our pets, and ounces of weed. I’m getting my first check next week from all of my general training, but it’s all going towards her fine, debt and food for our pets. I can’t even afford to get clothing for work like I intended to even though it would have been a small expense.
I can’t even talk about it because she gets so upset and I can’t even deal with it. She gets so fiery and over-the-top over the smallest things. Even if I’m upset about something that doesn’t have anything to do with her, she’ll start physically pushing me and whining (actual whining, she doesn’t verbally speak to me when she gets upset) and it won’t stop unless I start comforting her and then she’ll continue to be upset because she’ll feel like I’m only doing it to make her stop.
Just recently, our mutual friend had a wedding but only had room for 8 people, so it was an honor to be taking up two of those spots alongside their closest friends and family. A while before that, his now husband bought a 1 gram from her. After buying that gram that now belonged to him, he lost it and our friend told us about it and she was furious. She said she was upset because our friend told his husband that it’d be $10 bucks without asking first and because it came from her personal stash and all. Regardless, it wasn’t really her gram anymore.
That being said, after the wedding they took us out to eat- their treat. After getting our drinks and such, the husband asks my gf if she had any weed and she fucking loses it right their in the cafe and after being told that it was “just a gram” and that “it wasn’t her weed anymore” she just storms off outside. I go out to console her without judgement, and she starts saying stuff about how I think she’s being stupid and things of that nature and how everyone else does, despite not saying anything at all the whole time other than offering her support and comfort.
So we just sit outside the whole time, in the blistering heat because she refuses to go inside. She makes a comment about leaving her ukulele, so I go back inside, apologize to everyone, and brought it to her. We eventually go back inside because it’s hot and our friend comes over to ask how we’re doing and she’s just fucking rude to him. So we go back outside and despite being frustrated, I try to calm her and offer support in hopes that she’ll act more rationally once she’s settled down.
Once she does, she tells me that she wants to leave. The friend already offered to drive us back to our car, so I asked if they could and apologize for the inconvenience and they were really understanding about it.
They go outside to meet her and I go back to the cafe to throw away our trash and put our dishes at the designated stations. The moment I go outside, they’re in the middle of an argument.
We drive home, she’s driving their car (and I know that she probably threw a fit about being the one to drive) and they wish us a good day and all. When we get home, he tells her about how inappropriately she behaved on his wedding day and after continuing to fight him about it, tells her that it was the final straw and didn’t want her in his life anymore and proceeds to block her.
She still continues to get spontaneously angry about it but I don’t have the energy to fight or question it anymore. I don’t have the energy to question or fight anything she does anymore.
Ive been thinking about waiting to see if I can keep my job and hopefully find a roommate so I can go back to school and work until I can get started on my career track, but I’m feeling stuck for now.
I’m just so exhausted.

I hate it when people suck attention for themselves from someone else's (senseless) tragedy, especially when the person in question wasn't even all that good. And obviously, nobody gives a shit about the drug problems of these privileged dumbfucks or else maybe these people pretending to care would have been available to prevent a death. What the fuck. And it's not the first young parent to die from a drug problem in that area either.

I don't even know what wrong with me. I space out nearly all the time, which makes my grades low, since it's hard to pay attention in classes. At the same time my memory truly sucks. I just missed another PE class because I left the tracksuit in my room. Recenty had 3d modeling class and couldn't pay attention, so for the half of class I was trying to catch up to the others.
Meanwhile I feel really apathetic, like I barely feel any strong emotions. Even so, they're very short term, only to feel bland again. I was thinking I may have szpd, since the description fits me really much. I also have schizophrenic relative. I want to visit a therapist, yet I keep hearing from people that they will give you a diagnosis whenever you're sick or not. I don't know what to do from this point.

>>209420Not completely related but my niece od'ed on heroin, she had been clean for about three months and went for a trip to NYC and was looking to score, probably got a shot cut with fent, her 'friend' who helped her tie off ran and didn't call for help until it was too late and L. was brain dead in an alleyway for a long time before they found her.
People should carry Narcan if they're going to use but:
I feel what you're saying, a lot, because my other niece made it all about her. No one in the family was allowed to grieve normally because the attention was off of her, and she can't stand that shit. So she got her entire family spun up, started sending all these hateful texts to her dad and mom because they didn't care about HER pain that L. was dead, it was insane. She even blamed it the fact that no one was paying attention to her on her stepmom who had just gone through surgery and the stepmom is not all that bad compared to some. Meanwhile L's mom didn't want her anywhere near a memorial because she knew that E would get histrionic and not allow people to mourn.
It's disgusting when people take a tragedy within a family and make it about them. Your vent got me thinking about this kind of behavior and it's just so sad. I think there's something wrong with people. I don't know if it's the internet fucking them up or what but you see so much pathological, unhealthy crap going on and no one wants to call it out as the pathological crap it is. It's definitely not good.

No. 209429
>>209426It's so much nonsense. I really want to tell people like this to put a fucking sock in it. When my grandma died, I was 26, still the youngest out of the grandkids and we had been very close.
She had asked that I read something at her funeral and I did. It was hard, but I got through it. My grandma was pretty stoic, she didn't like big displays of affection and even though I was sad I tried to honor that by not making a scene.
My older cousin gets up there (she wasn't asked to read by my grandmother but made a fuss until everyone said okay) and seriously blubbered and wailed through the whole thing. This lousy rhyming poem she wrote or picked out that should have taken two minutes ended up being ten. I thought that was so disrespectful and dishonoring my grandma.
It was like she wanted to prove that she loved her more than me or something.
Funerals bring out the best and the worst in people. Their worst can be way bad, though.

Not a Munchie, though! I have to work hard at that one, tbh.

>>209426>>209429>cousin in family who tries too hard to prove they loved deceased grandparent the mostHaha holy shit anons, me too! Mine's always posting sappy shit on the anniversary of my grandpa's death. Never my grandma though? Even though she'll act like she was just as close if grandma is brought up.
My cousin thought she was 'closest' to my grandpa on the grounds that she lived in the apartment behind his house that he owned from the time she was 25 to 28. Completely rent-free. She also made him her personal dog sitter, never helped him clean house, and greased money handouts from him constantly.
Yet we were all supposed to believe she was ~best grandkid~ because she'd stick him in goofy, degrading accessories sometimes for holidays and birthdays and take pictures to post on facebook. She never posted memories or special moments, only her dumb pictures where he looks embarrassed half the time.
The rest of us would actually go over to do yardwork and other such chores that helped him in a tangible way. She lived there for three years but never once cut the grass and only cooked for herself. When she moved out she'd maybe see him once every few months.
Truth is my grandpa was an old school man who didn't share much (including emotions), and could only muster small talk about the perceived downward spiral of his town towards the end of his life. Even though he didn't converse much, my grandpa would always come visit me and my parent's house because he didn't want to be alone (cousin was NEVER around him unless staged for social media). The cousin acting like she had any meaningful bond to him beyond the one with his wallet makes me so irritated. Everyone in my family besides her mother, and equally leech-like brother, feels that way.
And to prove how much of a fucking parasite she is? She raided his house after he passed during the period when all family members were supposed to stay away. Before my mother and her brothers got a chance to go into the property to sort the belongings. She essentially stole a bunch of personal effects (we suspect jewelry, money, and other expensive collateral), yet nobody could do anything about it because there was no proof about what she stole. Her scummy brother stole a few guns that belonged to my uncle that he kept in that basement and he was caught for that at least because that shit's illegal.

My dad passed away suddenly two days ago. I flew in to see him because the hospital sent him home on hospice. He couldn't speak, but he recognized me and was shocked I had come out.
It was the first time I've seen him since last April.
I held his hand has he left us. I still can't wrap my head around watching his last breaths… like none of this feels real and I feel like he's going to come home any minute… except, he died in our living room.
I'm not married nor do I have kids. I'll never have my dad walk me down the aisle and my kids will never know how awesome their grandfather was.
I don't even know what happened. He had months and then suddenly it was less than a week and he died just after I came to see him… I'm trying to remain positive in front of my family and they probably think I'm taking it well, but I really haven't been left by myself to mourn. I feel terrible that I'm getting really aggro because they only have the best intentions and I can't be there emotionally for them. I'm exhausted and I want to go home and see my boyfriend.
I'm not taking it well. This is one of the hardest things I've had to go through… and my heart breaks for my mom.

>>209608That's heavy shit anon. So sorry about your dad's sudden passing, also sucks that you can't get any time alone to grieve.
When my grandpa passed in the hospital, I held his hand until it was ice cold and the hospital staff told me they had to move him before rigor mortis set in. Then I had a whole hour to cry while I was driving home, and a relatively empty apartment to cool down at. I think many people operate on the assumption that people want to be around other people when they grieve. It's probably true for some, but for people like you and me I feel that we benefit from introspective alone-time with our thoughts. I hope you can get it soon.

i can tell my friend has an eating disorder, she is not subtle about it at all. i've asked her about it before, not prying but concerned, and she denied it but it seems like it's just getting worse since then. she's going to the gym literally every single day at the weirdest hours, like getting home from work at 11pm and then going to the gym at midnight. she'll work from 11am-5pm and only eat a single granola bar the entire time, complain she's hungry, and then refuse the food our manager ordered for us, making up some bullshit excuse. she barely even talks to me anymore and keeps alluding to the fact that "she's going through things she can't talk to anyone about" but like i'm not a fucking idiot and i've had an eating disorder before so i know what it looks like and she's not fooling me.
and this is going to sound terrible but i feel like i can't be friends with her anymore because of this. it's really triggering to watch as someone who is still recovering. she's not talking to me about it or like, talking to me in general anymore, so i feel completely distant from her. she's constantly posting about her weight on her finsta and all she reblogs on tumblr are stupid emo depressing photo posts like some edgy 15 year old and …i get that she's going through things but i can't help but get so irritated and upset with her when i see any of her posts on social media. she needs to get it together and get some help.
within the past 4 months she's totally just drifted from me, i don't even feel like she's my friend anymore. she never asks me to hang out and when confronted she says she never asks ANYONE to hang out, she just waits for them to ask her, but yet she's constantly busy and out with other friends. when we do make plans she moves them around so that she can go to the gym with her other friend. it's irritating.
i feel guilty because i dont want to be her friend anymore because of this but….i'm in recovery. i can't be around that kind of stuff and that amount of negativity. i'm fucking sick and fed up with her and i'm mad that she's not making any sort of effort to be my friend anymore

I understand your feelings, you have the right to feel angry and mad because what just happened it's terrible and you can't be strong all the time, even if you want to. Try to focus on how he'd like you to be at this moment. I know you'll be sad because of the loss, but don't let it destroy you because there's nothing that could be changed or done. You were with him at his last moments and that's what you have to think, that you were there for him, and I'm sure he appreciated it.

>>209666I also get nightmares where my mother turns into a literal monster and forces me to stay in the house when I try to leave and will claw at me and rake me back in. It's stressful and scary when I wake up from it. Each fucking limb is tingling right down to the tips of my fingers and toes when I wake up. I hate it.
I had a strained relationship with my mother when I lived at home. I ran away because of her and I missed out on a lot. I did it for my own happiness and I don't resent her for it now that I'm away. I can speak to her whenever I like and I am not obligated into doing whatever she tells me to do. I am able to be my own person and I can appreciate her from afar. It's worked out for the better, though I missed out on a lot of things from being so far away from home.
When you get the chance, the best thing to do is to move away. I don't know what sort of relationship you have with your mother… but just get away and either cut ties or forge a healthier relationship with her from a distance. Stick it out for as long as you can until school is through.

I’ve been pissed off by everything lately. It’s to the point where being around strangers stresses me the fuck out, hindering a lot of my daily activities. I even get irrationally irritated if I hear my roommate coming home cuz I just think about how they’ll get in my way. I just feel like I haven’t had one positive interaction with someone in a long time.
I just feel like I’ve got nothing inside me but pure anger. I don’t know what to do with it or how to remedy it. I can’t take days off because I’ll fall behind on my work at school, and I can’t take days off from work because I’ve already done a few schedule changes due to my program planning things last minute so if I do anymore then I’ll have to talk to my boss. Whenever I get home and scroll through the internet mindlessly and watch the same couple of YouTube videos, and then I’ll be working on class projects and assignments again. I’ve been neglecting my gym routine and always say that I don’t have time to see a counselor but I clearly do if I spend three hours online as a way to decompress.
I feel like a shitty person because all I do is both about small things to my friends, piss my parents off because I’m being “negative”, and I feel like I’m making everyone wary of me because of my negativity lately. I feel like a selfish motherfucker.

IIve been having a full blown quarter life crisis, in turning 25 in April but my mind can't wrap around it. I've been a complete shut in since I was 20, I felt like it's only been a couple months from that time. I feel like I'm in some weird frozen state but I'm getting older. I've found myself not being to sleep I think about it so much. No, I don't believe you're life is over at 30, but I feel like people around me will judge me for doing the things I did before I became a hardcore shut in. When I say shut in , I mean not leaving the house for months, sometimes not being able to leave my bedroom from anxiety.
I look at all my cute frilly clothing and keep telling myself I'm not too old to enjoy such things, but I just have a subconscious block.
I've always been behind mentally from my peers and it's always made me feel horrible, so adding this into it has been terrifying to me.
I feel like I can't even get back from this and experience things other people have been, which I know is stupidest I'm still young, but I'd be lying if it didn't put little thoughts in my head constantly.
I live in a small town too so people judge way more than in the city. I just hide my age these days, I don't lie of course, but I just let people wonder. Between my immature demeanor and chubby face, people usually think around 16-20.
Sorry that was a long post, I just needed to get it out.

>>209727Hey anon, don't be too hard on yourself. I know it's hard, and many anons here and people in the world stress about life achievements but please I'm one person that don't think of you this way.relax and take a moment to look at all these terrible feelings inside, and comfort it. You don't need to seek solace or acceptance outside, try to focus on netralizing your emotions and attaining peace with yourself for the time being. Nurture your feelings and treat yourself carefully. You aren't a failure or a loser, those statuses are impermanent and there's only so much you can do one step at a time, so don't sweat so much for the future. Try to have some love in replacement for the self hatred, and it will be easier to attain the courage you need, although naturally it becomes a byproduct if you have strong convictions and you don't let people's opinions get in the way of your happiness.
I used to have great anxiety as well, but I overcame it when I worked inside myself carefully because doubt and fear are one of the worst curses that can happen to anyone. Remember, when there's a chance of screwing up or looking like a fuckwit, there's also a higher chance of suceeding and doing well. And the great part is, you don't need to focus on doing great all the time, or over exceeding your peers or being successful. I think that's when courage comes is when you don't have high expectations of having to be super or perfect all the time but naturally accepting that mistakes that can happen. Things take time.
exercise your ultimate freedom of not letting anyone control what should make you happy or not. You will always have that one liberty that no one can take from you.

I feel sick.
So, my uncle was recently arrested for possession of child pornography. He lived with my family at the time, so naturally we gave him the boot.
Cut to about a year later, I'm looking through some things he left behind in the garage for a flashlight to steal and I find a porn stash.
It was pretty tame for the most part, it was literally nothing but Girls Gone Wild (the barely legal shit, but still).
However, I notice a book mixed in with the DVDs. I open it and all the blood drains from my face instantly.
It was a photo album full of nothing but pictures of my brother, sister and I as children. They were innocent for the most part, but some of the pictures had us in pajamas/underwear or in poses that could be seen as suggestive to a pedophile - one of them was of my sister doing the splits, another was of me bending over to pick something up to give you all an idea of what they looked like.
This just happened today and it fucked me up BAD. It ended up triggering a huge drinking/bulimia binge. I feel extremely violated. How dare he jack off to my childhood. MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD.
Fuck that incestuous chomo son of a whore. I hope that fat 400 lb sack of shit chokes to death on McDonalds. He's sick pervert who deserves to be castrated without anesthetic.
I have a million stories about him if anyone is interested. I could stand to get it off my chest.

my mother was always weird. I dont know the reason but when I was a child I never wore underwear at night. It was somehow not supposed to be healthy? (it's total bullshit though). I dont remember abuse though that one alone is weird enough.
Im now over 30 years old and some years ago I went through childhood pictures. I stumbled upon pictures were I as a child (kindergarden age) sat on the floor with legs apart and you could see fucking EVERYTHING. I only wore a nightgown that didnt cover anything. like why would my parents not make me wear panties? thats so fucking weird first off. But second thing is my mother took photographs of it AND KEPT THEM. I was so mad. I went through over 1000 family photographs and got around 10-15 photographs that showed my naked vajayjay and burned them all.
so long story short. Since I already felt extremely violated by that without a pedophile jacking off to that, I feel you.

I finally got into uni this year after putting it off for little under a decade due to mental instability.
The consequence is that I'm the oldest in my class, and even older than all of my upperclassmen, at 26, with everyone else being 19 - 22.
It's not that I have a big problem with it, I have a study group whom I have clicked with since day 1, so I'm not all alone just yet. I just can't get over the age gap outside of uni duties.
Socially, there's a massive difference between start 20's and mid 20's and I feel out of place whenever I hang out with anyone from my class outside of any of our lectures.
I have only gone to 1 party so far at the start of the schoolyear, and I felt awkward and bored the entire time cause the only thing anyone else wanted to do was play hardcore drinking games that could get them as shitfaced as possible, and the ones that weren't interested in that don't drink in general. What's the problem with just having a good tasting drink over a nice conversation?
We're about 3 months in now and I'm the one student who is just kind of there. Nobody asks to hang with me after lectures, and the few times I have invited people to come chill, they thought I was joking and left before I finished packing my things into my bag.
My study group hardly include me in their conversations unless it's about the things we're studying. I'm introverted, have social anxiety and am used to being alone, so it's not a big deal. I guess I just thought things would be different this time. Getting into uni has been a dream in forever due to my mental instabilities, it's kind of my way of proving to myself and others that I'm not a failure and have a chance at making a good life for myself. I'm just a bit disappointed I guess.

Work-related vent but idc I'm so sick about having to deal with customers and their mc-fuckin' entitlement all the damn time.
I had one lady bitch to me today because she was on hold 20 minutes when it was busy. I work for an airline, so it's not like longer hold times are unusual. I had to hold my ass for over 1 hour before just to schedule a gynecologic exam at a clinic. Fuck her.
Then I had to deal with an entitled ass bitch mother trying to send her 15 year old unaccompanied cross country. She wanted our escort service, but we won't risk giving the service if they're wanting the last flight out and there are previous flights available. The idea is if shit happens like weather, the entitled parents demand airlines put their brats up in hotels for free. Too much shit has gone down with minors and airlines that carriers are no longer dealing with this shit.
By the way, 15 year olds can fly by themselves. It's just that this bitch was too much of a helicopter parent to tolerate her daughter flying alone for the trip back (but of course, not helicopter enough to buy her daughter a hotel to stay overnight to fly out in the morning, or buy an adult ticket to escort her there herself)!
I had to explain to this cunt the policy. I tried offering alternatives (went to my help desk even), but she wouldn't have it.
"YOU'RE ROBBING MY DAUGHTER OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN WITH OLYMPIC ATHLETES! HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST SHE GO BACK ALONE, DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MANY ABDUCTIONS HAPPEN? TO BUY MY OWN TICKET TO TAKE HER IS YOU TRYING TO PRICE GOUGE ME, AND NO I AM NOT GOING TO BUY HER A HOTEL! IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU HAVE ONLY ONE FLIGHT IN THE EVENING!!!"
And all the while I say nothing and go "mhm" in agreement, because I've learned if you try to correct entitled dumbasses, they will stay on the line even longer to argue and escalate because they're just always right.
I even said "I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you further Mrs. _____, good luck with your search." and she goes, "YEAH, THANKS."
I was giving the finger to my computer monitor the whole time hoping the nasty bitch would just hang up. No such luck. Last customer of the night too.

Fun fact: If you’re allergic to penicillin, you’re likely to have an allergy to Rocephin.
So like, now idk if I can trust that NP again. I’ve been going to him for years and he’s been my honorary PDOC for the past few months. He actually listens to me, I asked for wellbutrin and he gave me wellbutrin, my previous real PDOC would only prescribe me SSRI’s which I don’t react well to. He also recently prescribed me Buspar which also helps me a lot.
I know he knew I could have had an allergic reaction to that, but he didn’t even warn me. I just don’t know how I can trust him again :/

>>209789personally I feel it's absolutely irrelevant if you were panties at night or not especially for young children. Since puberty Im sleeping with panties and have no issue with bacterial infection or that kind. I also have not found any scientifical evidence to back up the claim it would be unhealthy but only found statements from gynecologists of whom some say it's unhealthy and some say it's healthy.
1000 family pictures. not 1000 pictures of me. with 4 siblings maybe approx. 100-200 had me on it. it was especially weird when I talked to her about it and she insisted on keeping those specific pictures even when from every occasion there were several photographs, so it was not like I was destroying memory or something.
And yes, personally I wouldnt want to invade my future childs personal space in that way. Even if my child was naked, I would either make no pictures at all (back then they even were developed at a store so even a stranger could see that) or just not doing some of in that kind of way. Like really Im not only talking about being naked and not only about seeing the labia majora. But fullblown everything. like when you try doing the splits but naked.

>>209887I hate it so much. At an
average hour there's 150+ calls on queue (on bad days and holidays it's as high as 1000+ calls with mandatory overtime on all staff) in my office that facilitates 200+ employees at a single time not including home-based agents. And that's only my location. We have calls routed to other offices in the US including Texas, Massachusets, Arizona, and Florida.
However, selfish people have no concept that they are not the only customers who need help in the world. I don't even get a few seconds after each call to clear my damn screen as another call pops up and sloppily populates over the last. I have to abuse my hot keys like mad in order to keep organized.
Forgot to mention something about the ~TWENTY WHOLE MINUTES~ bitch: She wanted me to take hundreds off the total price because of the hold time, something that is not even possible to do.

I actually don't like how people think it's acceptable to approach stranger's dogs, especially when you can tell the owners don't want to be bothered.

In truth you're probably fine for a beginner and it's not really personal.
Like I've been at my job for two years for domestic/international sales and there are help agents who rant and call people in my hire group stupid and new. Just because we haven't been around 'long enough' and therefore we're idiots and suck. I overheard one guy tirade about how any worker with an employee number starting with 'E' is retarded because that's the sine given to all agents who've been hired within the last two years.

My boyfriends been being distant and shoving me away, I stayed up all night waiting for him to respond, when he does talk he will send me a small amount of messages a day if I'm lucky, all with no context, no emotion, no love or anything, I'd feel better if I only got one message a week that was filled with love, care, and paying attention to me and what I'm going through, but he will barely send me anything a day and it feels like talking to a lagging robot, sometimes I'll vent or just tell him what I did today or send him pics of things i found interesting today or whatever because I have no friends and my family kicked me out, he will just ignore everything i say or do, if I'm lucky he even reads my messages
I just don't know what to do, i wont go too much into it but im in a tough situation right now where im basically struggling to eat and i live at a shelter, the ONE thing I asked from him is to be there for me, and no I'm not one of those crazy girls who expect responses 1 minute after sending a text or whatever, but is it really that bad of me to want to feel loved or cared about even if its just a tiny bit of affection?

Do you guys think that women (in general) will ever be respected in the workplace? The past few weeks have been so disheartening in my opinion. I feel like WAY too many women, myself included, have experienced this. It seems like story after story comes out about men abusing their power in the workplace to humiliate women. The Leon Wieseltier story was the final straw for me, I simply can't read this shit anymore because it is too depressing and makes me want to just give up.
I'm one of those people who will sit and take sexist comments and humiliation if it means I can keep my job. I don't stick up for myself and I hate that. I keep quiet, do my work, and then go home and take my anger out there. I'm not proud of that fact, but it is what it is. My career is everything to me. But the more I see shit like this, the more I think it's not even worth it to grin and bear it. Like no matter what, nobody sees our work or our accomplishments, just our ass. I mean is there anything we can even do? Is anything ever going to change? I honestly try not to complain too much (and I promise I don't in real life) but for fucks sake. I'm sick of it.
Anyway, here's the article that
triggered the fuck out of me and made me need a fucking nap today. The fact that other male employees just sat back and watched and never stood up for their coworkers makes me so sad because it reminds me of my situation with coworkers who I thought were friends. idk sorry for the rant.

Every single time I get approached by one of them, after I (politely) refuse their offer they always chimp out and go on about how "it's my loss" and "how do you knooow if you never trieeed" - which is the dumbest argument ever, because duh. When you're not into it, you're not into it. You know when you like girls, you know when you like boys, you know when you're a cuck and you definitely know when you're not a cuck.

I'm so pathetic. I'm lonely again, no boyfriend because men only approach me when they are sexually interested and don't want a normal relationship, the only friend I had started treating me like shit and now doesn't even talk to me anymore. The only close person I have is my mother, but even she doesn't understand everything that I'm going through.
I'm such a failure that I can't even finish school and I can't leave home. I'm stuck in a dull, boring life, and I know it will not get better. I wish I was an optimistic person who WANTS to get better, but the only thing I can do is lie in bed and think of how I have wasted my childhood and the best parts of my life that I will never get back.

A friend of mine used to do poly shit because she couldnt find a relationship that had everything she wanted, so she dated multiple guys with individual traits she desired. So there was one guy for fun and raunchy sex, one guy just to have fun with since he was more adventurous, then there was the guy she could have actual discussions with and so on. She even agreed with me when I called it fucking retarded but she's still at it, I rather pity her if anything, she also gets ass pained if any of the guys get any other partners of their own and is then surprised none of them stick around.

My childhood crush/oneitis recently died of a heroin overdose and I am a hell of a lot sadder than I ever thought I'd be considering I hadn't spoken to him in about 10 years. It feels so silly and I can't bring myself to talk to anyone about it but I keep reliving memories that hadn't even crossed my mind until he died.

I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm going through something similar actually. last Sunday my friend committed suicide by hanging. this is not the first time this has happened to someone in my life. during the summer another friend did it, and June 2016 ANOTHER friend of mine killed himself. this is really fucking bothering me and making me feel VERY guilty and like I could have saved them if I just asked if they were okay more often. they NEVER told me they felt this bad. I knew they all had mental health issues, but most of my friends do…I should have done something…I keep imagining them hanging there turning purple and it disturbs me deeply. especially because I tried to hang myself 10 years ago but my feet were touching the floor so I kept standing up before I passed out… last October I tried again to kill myself but I obviously didn't succeed. I never grieved for my other 2 friends so when this one happened on the 22nd all 3 hit me so hard. I don't know what to fucking do. how does one grieve? I never did it, I just covered up my feelings by shooting heroin. I've lost so many friends, heroin overdoses, random accidents, and suicides. the latter is the worst way to lose someone.
I have thought about suicide every day for 10 years. it's really starting to bother me. I go to mental health and drug treatment outpatient but I still think about killing myself EVERY SINGLE DAY. anyone else have these thoughts? they aren't really serious but I cannot stop myself from thinking I'd be better dead. uggggggggh. I'm afraid to tell my therapist because I don't wanna end up in a psych ward.

I felt very dependent on him to feel loved and he felt the same way. That co-dependence was the reason it lasted for so long while we were both miserable. He made me feel like it was just us against the world, and I now realize that that was very isolating instead of romantic.

my boyfriend and i live together for quite sometime now, which has always been something that we've been both wanting for a while
i love everything about him but he's just soooo lazy . The room is always chaos whenever I dont tell him to clean. I just wish he just had the will to clean up on his own, (put away stuff immediately right after using it, etc.) it would be way easier to maintain the room!! something he would do often is leave his clothes on the ground and leave them on the floor for days, and im guilty of doing that a lot, but you know im usually the one that cleans it in the end. he leaves the clothes on the floor for days i either have to pick it up myself or i'll tell him to pick it up himself [which'll most likely go down to an argument]. when the room gets chaotic, i usually find time to put stuff away/sweep up at night while he's on the computer doing his own thing
and when i would point out that i want help cleaning he'd always get defensive and say "im tired it's night what do you expect? how can you get mad at me when you're cleaning up at 1 am"
sometimes i just wish he would do the same for me, and i just wish he would clean on his own without me having to tell him to do so. one day im just gonna stop cleaning and hopefully he'll clean up the room all by himself. lazyness is such a turn off i dont even want to have sex with him most of the time
he always tells me that he does his fair share of cleaning but everytime he says that i swear i almost go insane because it's usually a 20/80, i s2g i feel like im picking up after a child sometimes

My coworker drove me crazy about doing her Halloween makeup so I caved and finally did it. I have a reputation at work for doing makeup well, HOWEVER, I am not a makeup artist and I do not have the products to deal with other faces besides my own.
My coworker is 40+ years old. She has a completely different skin tone and her wrinkles/saggy skin are dynamics I was just not prepared for.
I gave her a detailed list (with pictures) for all the stuff she would need because she insisted she couldn't pick out a basic black mascara and some eyeliner without me holding her hand. She wanted a 'Cleopatra' look.
Somehow she managed to get horrible products or completely different ones than what I mentioned on the list.
Ex #1 I instructed her to buy Elf gel eyeliner in black so I could have a starting base for the thick eyeliner (explicitly said this because I knew her wrinkles would cause problems), and then touch up with black liquid liner. She said the store assistant helping her said that the gel liner for Elf brand was sold out, so she opted to just not get it instead of finding literally ANY OTHER BRAND'S gel liner to buy!
She only bought the cheap liquid liner that was streaky, and ran everywhere. Where there was a wrinkle, the liquid would travel down the wrinkle and smear. Also the bitch kept blinking. Thus I had to keep going back to layer and correct the smudges. The lines came out awful and terrible. By the time I finished one eye and started the other, the previous eye's lines were already cracked and partially flaked.
Ex #2 She said she had a gold eyeshadow she was bringing. She bought a $1 Wet n Wild–what I can only describe as a greasy GOOP glitter single–it had the consistency of glue with little flecks of glitter. The first ingredient is god damn petroleum jelly for fuck's sake. It applied sparsely, and for all its wet grease it fucking had fallout everywhere. She insisted I use it, but it only creased into her eye wrinkles and made eyeliner application even more patchy and difficult.
Awful, awful. What usually takes me 20 minutes took a fucking hour and I had to go straight to work when she left.
She acted grateful since, in her words, she never puts on makeup and can't see well enough without glasses to do her own. But she hasn't posted the only (good) picture I sent her of the makeup and outfit and hasn't posted any pictures. I think deep down she was disappointed the makeup didn't turn out like how mine does, but what was I to do? She really should have PAID someone at a Sephora or a mall makeup counter to do a consultation to find out what works for her. She didn't pay me a dime btw–she just left the shitty $1 products she bought.

So there is this girl in my class that is weird as fuck, she's always eating junkfood, and I mean ALWAYS. During the whole class the only thing I hear is chewing, by the way yeah she chews loudly.
She is puffy, walks like she had her leg amputated, draws shitty anime pictures, and idk if she's retarded cuz she really acts like it. one time I was in a different class and she came in rushing in the class out of breath and the teacher asked her why she was running, she said that her teacher said to "hurry up". She came in looking for a cord for a progector that her teacher didn't have, my teacher said that we didn't have anymore and she started breathing heavily and walked away saying "oOoOhH Mrs.XXXXX is going to kill me..!!!!" and we were all like "wtaf".
So, I started dating my boyfriend, and of course my friends were talking about it and her sitting right next to us she of course was listening, (because listen, it's obvious when people listen to your conversations)since that day my shit started going missing and I suspected it was her cuz she was acting suspecious af. Basically i put my phone down on the table (she was sitting next to me) and I went to the opossite side of the classroom to get my charger back from some guy. when i came back my phone wasn't there. I nearly had a panic attack because I couldn't find it anywhere. See that girl staring blankly in front of her stuffing her face with cookies.

I shout at her in front of the whole class. I say that I know she has been stealing shit and this time my phone.
She just looks at me.
Grab her backpack, open it. oh well oh well guess where was my fucking phone. Oh, look there is also my pencil, and my fucking ring.
She grabs the bakpack and pulls it back. Starts shouting about how I 'm not supossed to touch her things. Teacher stops us and we go to the principal.
She is suspended, I have detension.
Cool i guess.
idk if i'm too sour or salty but that shit got me fucked, she has been pulling on my nerves for a long time now and I feel satisfied.

Sex is an added bonus to the loving partnership we have.

>>210395> we could never have sex again and he would still care for me.Wrong. You stop having sex with him, and he will eventually dump you because of it, same with every other girl here.
Go ahead, try not giving sex to your boyfriend, see how long he sticks around. The only reason men date women is because they want sex, do you think they would spend money and put up with your bullshit otherwise? Human beings would have been extinct long ago if men didn't want sex.
If men wanted a friend, they'd be friends with another guy, because unlike women they have the intelligence to think on the same mental level.
>>210394I assume you live in the west, in a predominately white area. White people aren't having kids anymore, we are having the same problem as Japan, to a lesser extent.
Non-whites are still having kids at high rates, but they're mostly confined to shit holes where people don't trick-or-treat because it's not safe. Maybe you live there.
>>210398>I don’t owe anyone anything because I have “a past”.If you ask a man if he would prefer his gf/wife to be a virgin, and he says no, they are lying, or LITERALLY have a cuckold fetish.It would mean they want another man to fuck their girlfriend, past, present, or future.
The vast majority of men, over 99%, want their gf/wife to be a virgin, but since that's almost impossible to find they have no choice.
There is a limit though, does your boyfriend know that you were a literal whore? Because that would disgust the vast majority of men, they might still date you because they can't get anything better, they might even marry you, but I assure you they find your past disgusting, and they will always be bitter about it inside, even if they hide it and lie about it.>>210398

Trust me though, it is completely true. Many men will lie about it, especially if a girl asks them.
Why would a man want another man to fuck his girlfriend in the past?
Can you give me one reason? Because the only reason is if he has a cuckold fetish.
The more sexual partners a woman has, the more likely she is to cheat, divorce, break up, be jaded to releationships, incapable of bonding, and overall just be unable to make a relationship work. These are statistical facts.

You live in the modern-day western world, it's not surprising that you think like this.
Did you know that for the vast majority of places throughout recorded history, female virginity was highly valued, females who weren't virgins were considered to be ineligible for marriage to the vast majority of men.
It is still like this today in many places on Earth. Modern-day western society and it's mainstream feminist views are a recent appearance in the timeline of history, and they're wrong.
It is no coincidence that it happened at the same time we started to have extremely higher rates of divorce, cheating, STDs, no one having kids or getting married, and sexual degeneracy in general.

The point is things change. Whether you like it or not, you do live in the modern [western] world. And society at large doesn't have near the same ideas about virginity as we used to. Clearly that doesn't apply to you, but it is true for the current culture.
For the record, I responded from a western point of view because it was simply my opinion, and I reside in the west so it naturally has a lot to do with my experience. Kindly spare me the 'women are dumb and don't understand anything' whining. For something that was a single person's opinion, you seem a little bothered.
If you're the same male anon from further upthread bitching about the lack of white children, you seem to be jumping to conclusions a lot in order to say all the things you want to say, regardless of whether they are relevant to the discussion.

That's why so many men want sex doll technology to improve rather than just paying escorts.
Trust me though, I have used the best onaholes that exist today, and they're not that good. Sex dolls or fake vaginas will never provide a satisfying alternative to real sex, no matter how much technology advances.
As much as I wish otherwise, women will never be replaced by sex dolls, sure a lot of men buy them, but they will always be wishing they were fucking the real thing.

Any rejection to what men see as fundamentally theirs (women's bodies) is an act of defiance on women's part that is worthy of contempt. In fact compliance is also an act worthy of contempt, that makes the woman in question a valueless, used up whore.
You have a fucked view of sexuality, plain and simple. I'm very glad I wasn't born a man. Spending your entire life pursuing one-sided relationships and being incapable of seeing the humanity in people other than yourself must be a truly miserable existence.

I'm having a significant birthday on Sunday. I'm really conflicted about birthdays (always have been), but ever since I have been having stronger suicidal ideation, it fucking hurts that no one gives a shit about my birthday, including my boyfriend. For his I went all out earlier this year - event tickets, surprise best friend visit, gram of coke (he wanted to try it, i figured why not - as I was a huge law-abiding nerd, this was a big deal), various small gifts. Sounds like overkill, but the number was meaningful for him & he tends to get depressed around his birthday, so I wanted to mitigate that somehow.
Anyway, I ended up basically being forced to take a temporary career-relevant job in a small isolated uni town and I hate it. I have no friends here. I barely see the people who nominally work with me. I have had horrible experiences with local men here (e.g., some fucker with whom I had awkward small talk in a coffeeshop waited for me at my workplace with a gift & told me he missed me; another guy followed me home and rang my doorbell at 3am - I have so many other stories from the few months I've been in this town). I don't go out. The only people whose cell phone numbers I have are the girls who look after my dog when I have to travel. I basically go back to the city my bf lives in as often as possible (3 times since I've moved). I'm so fucking unhappy. If I killed myself, no one would probably even look for at least a week or two.
I doubt my bf has even planned to give me a gift. Granted last year he cheated on me days before my birthday, so perhaps not giving me a gift is better than giving me that one. Year before he didn't do shit either (after a year of other cheating crap). I love him but in terms of affection, he doesn't do anything remotely ceremonial. Yes, I know I don't deserve the cheating; at least we're in a not-cheating phase, ok? And he is in some ways a fragile link to sanity right now.
I feel pathetic and stupid and basic for wanting anything at all. But I feel so fucking foreign and terrible here. I wish someone would give a shit, but I have to try to make my own magic whenever I need something to look forward to - and you know what? It's nicer when someone helps. It's best to do it for someone else, and that was always my method of coping with life, but now I'm weak and I want friends. I want stupid movie friends who care about me and will bake me a cake and try to get me drunk or anything god I'm such a fucking failure. I want a boyfriend who pretends to care about my birthday anxiety but still does something sweet. I want someone to plan something for me.
I could go on and on, but it's pointless. My life is a mess held together with tape (and I'm a video game character that glitches out only occasionally - I don't broadcast my issues widely). What do I do on my birthday? Do I even remind my bf of over 4 years that it's coming up? He won't come see me, that's clear enough. Ironically he just proudly told me that he booked a flight to visit his mother for her birthday in mid-November and ordered her flowers. (I don't begrudge him that. It's just

My boss told his boy that the whole world was already rigged in boys' favor and how unfair that was. Like he brought up how someone let his son win in some game and how pissed off the bow was when he found out after. He said all of life was set up like that, but used a kid-sized explanation.

>>210579>>210586>>210587Anons I feel exactly the same way and I wish I had the right things to say about it, but I don't. I feel like I was fed lies growing up that I was so intelligent and worth something and was going to go places, but then I grew up and I realized it doesn't even matter if those things are true or not (they're not), I'm still just a woman and when people see me they don't see me as someone who is intelligent or competent. They would always rather be dealing with another man in every situation aside from sex. They either see someone who is good enough to fuck, or too ugly to fuck but either way all that matters is my physical form. And that makes me not worthy of anything real or anything that matters.
It's been hitting me much harder than usual, like one of you said because of the Weinstein thing as well as the attitudes the men in my life have towards women. I'm hoping that eventually I can numb myself to it, and that the anger/sadness is just a phase I have to go through to get to the 'don't give a fuck' phase. I consider suicide a lot, and I would be lying if I said that my gender doesn't factor into those thoughts. I know that's pathetic but it is what it is. I hate everything about being a woman, I hate my body, and I want it to be over with already. The sheer hatred and disgust I can feel from most men towards women is enough to make me want to flay myself so that me as a woman is unrecognizable. I feel like open misogyny is one of the last acceptable forms of bigotry that everyone can engage in, and it's only getting more and more prevalent as time goes on. There isn't anything we can do.
I usually try to focus on my hobbies (solitary ones) and forget about everything else going on in the world for a bit. It's getting more difficult for me to truly forget about it, but I still try. That's the only piece of advice I know to give. Pick up a good book, or go see a good film, and escape for a little while. Forget who/what you are and what's going on for a few hours. Another thing I've found that helps if you have certain men in your life that you absolutely have to deal with (at work, etc) that treat you like shit, just cut off all emotions with them. Don't let them know what bothers you. Don't cry, don't get angry, don't laugh things off just to get your interactions over with. Don't go out of your way to try to prove yourself or make them comfortable, because they will never see you as anything more than an object to hit on or humiliate so it doesn't matter. There isn't anything you can do. Give them the bare minimum of your time and energy that you need to get the job done, and then go home and try to forget about it.
Also, alcohol.
I apologize if that isn't good advice, I've just found that those are the only things I can do. Sometimes it helps, most of the time it doesn't.

My point is the reality is different than I thought it would be, and nobody in society talks about it when it's someone's mom or aunt or babysitter. That shit goes on, but I wouldn't have believed it.
Two, I didn't mean to make my boss out to be a saint or something. His son didn't hit anybody back and the little boy was complaining that nobody would belive that a girl socked him in the eye at school.
So my boss told him a) nobody should hit anybody so avoid violence and b) women have a lot of fucked up expectations placed on them that boys don't have and my boss said verbatim "you have it way easier than she does and you need to bear that in mind going forward"
Like yeah, I was impressed that somone would teach their son that instead of "you should have hit her back"
He's probably not perfect but he's better than my own shitty father.
The only point I was making was maybe we should judge people based on what they do instead of what they are.

>>210607You get we have scales for stuff like empathy and can measure that, right? And that a lack of empathy seriously impedes peoples ability to function as a normal person?
There's a line between hating men and just objectively making up shit, that's no better than the shit incels do about women.

>>210609I think that the original anons point wasn't that men don't have empathy necessarily, but that they don't have empathy for women. (In my personal experience I could believe that it is true, but I try to stop myself from assuming things without any concrete evidence so I won't go into that.)
>>210608I agree with this last point. We should refrain from making generalizations, even if it is difficult at times.

>>210599>>210600Honestly it sounds like neither of you are really in the right frame of mind to be in a relationship.
Is this the guys first relationship? A friend of mine has been dating a guy for 6 months give or take and has said some similar shit which weirded her out, let alone after only one month. I would be very cautious about him tampering with birth control or some shit, but I'm also on the cautious side of things generally.
On the flipside, you shouldn't just be having sex out of some obligation or say stuff you don't really mean to keep him happy. If you're not enjoying it, you should tell him so he can actually learn what to fix so you can both enjoy it. Everything about this screams low self esteem to me. If my friend was in a position like yours I'd just advise them to take a step back from dating and focus on their studies until they have everything else in their life back in order.

>>202833well, i dont know if this anon still reads here. sick kitten often get abandoned from their mothers. it's natural selection. he probably he some issues going on. if he was born by a feral cat, probably parasites and/or more stuff going on.
i adopted a cat ago that was 6 months old from an animal shelter who had the same story. 2 years later she died from lymph node cancer, while it was also to be found that she had a severe bacterial infection in her colon, 2 types of parasites (living there probably all of the time) and FIP virus. the vets before that didnt catch that.
so. he probably had something wrong with him from the beginning. he died loved.

this whole thing going on with george pell at the moment is reminding me how fucking disgusting the catholic church is. i hope every pedophile priest is sent to jail and gets their head kicked in. if people still want to be catholic the entire system needs a hard reset, every last current catholic authority needs to be booted from society.(Use new thread, do not necro)
