>>298395Do you mean that he’s called off the engagement and left you purely because of shit that happened 4 years ago? Because if so you’re not at fault here. He chose to pursue you knowing this shit, chose to stay with you for 4 years and chose to propose. Unless you’ve done something wrong since then, or you’ve kept secrets that have only just come to light, you’re not to blame. Unless I’m misunderstanding something it sounds like he’s got cold feet and is too stubborn to admit he’s the one with the problem, so now he’s bringing up irrelevant shit as if you’re to blame. Don’t let him make you feel bad if you’ve done nothing wrong
I’ve been through relationship abuse and it’s fucked up my subsequent relationships. My first serious boyfriend was kind of atypically abusive, like he’d constantly play with my feelings, break up with me only to come back, be controlling about what I ate and drank under the guise of being concerned about my health. He never shouted at me, insulted me or hit me so I didn’t realise it was abuse until long after the relationship ended. I became emotionally needy because he’d made me feel guilty if my life didn’t revolve around him, so when I met another guy I was intense. At first I was kind of chill as I was rebounding and acting like I didn’t give a fuck about relationships, but soon I became obsessed with this new guy and it didn’t help that he was a needy person too and acted the same way/encouraged me. After the honeymoon period ended this new guy started lashing out at me. After a while I started working on myself, trying to be less dependent so he’d stop but even when I got my behaviour under control it seemed like the damage had been done and he started outright abusing me. After months of me keeping myself in check he’d still finish work and call me to shout at me and tell me I was a cunt and a waste of life. This would often go on for hours with me crying, apologising and begging him to stop. If I refused to engage the argument would just continue the next day alongside a rant about how worried he’d been about me and how I was manipulative for putting the phone down. This would happen at least once or twice a week, at points it’d be almost every day.
It’s hard because I don’t know if it’s my fucked up brain making excuses for him or if this never would have happened if I’d not started the relationship with so much baggage. Aside from the abuse, we connected really well and initially we got on great. I guess if I hadn’t been fucked up I would have left if/when he’d turned nasty so it wouldn’t have happened anyway
But yeah anon, if he’s not letting go of something he should be over at this point that’s on him and not you. Don’t let yourself be blamed when you’ve done so well to recover

>>298433thank you, anon. that really helps. thankfully it was only a casual relationship, but i hope he did it nicely, or at least tried to help you through it? if you 'acted like a whore' but it was purely out of self-sabotage or bad coping mechanisms, a good person would've given you another chance, or at least tried to help you through and drop these habits. i'm sorry, anon. i wish i could give you a hug.
>>298437same to you, anon. thank you so much for the encouraging words. i'm very happy to hear you have someone in your life that understands and is willing to stick around. it's an especially uncommon trait in men, ugh.
>>298443anon, that is so horrible. it's him. nothing you've done could warrant that behavior. nothing. i hate men. anyone you meet in future needs to be understanding of these relationships and be willing to work through them with you. sending many hugs to you and the anons above!
yes, i acted out 4 years ago. it was at the beginning of our relationship when i really didn't take him seriously, but my bad behavior lasted quite a while, though i never cheated or anything like that. i just wasn't able to be myself and acted like an unstable, untrustworthy asshole out of fear of abandonment and fear of being abused, especially because he had been my friend for years, and i always wanted him but felt i never could have him because of my issues.
he tried to leave me when i was still acting out and i tried my best to stop and i got help and he decided to stay and i am doing so well and have done so well for the past 3+ years, but he has never been the same and he has always seemed kind of traumatized by it. he is very sensitive and i get that, but at the same time, he's not particularly sensitive about how lifelong abuse and rape has affected me. it's very unfortunate because i wasn't myself and he didn't get to know me in a romantic context, but now that's his first impression of me, and i've ruined everything.
even though he stayed, he has always seemed still scared of me and resentful of me. i get it, but he has also always never seemed to care much for my safety or care about me much as a person, or treated my abuse like it was real, and i think that definitely affected the way i treated him and how seriously i took our relationship in those first months. recently he had been really pushing how wonderful everything is, and everything was so perfect, but out of nowhere (for me, i guess not for him), he realized he can't trust me/be with me. i dunno, i just feel like, if i found a damaged boy that i knew for as long as and as well as he knows me, i would give anything and go to the ends of the earth to be by his side. it just sucks. it really pisses me off because he worked for like, 3 years before we dated, non stop, to try to convince me that he'd always be there for me no matter what and nothing could make him leave, etc.
>>298445i don't think so, anon. for most men, i'd agree, but he called me evil multiple times for what i'd done at the beginning of our relationship and i think i've just ruined my image of myself in his head and he's just super autismal.
No. 298471
>>298456>>298456thank you, anon. i'm much, much, much improved, i just wish he was able to see that. all of that just for having slept with HIM too quickly? anon, that's not even a real problem. like, if he's not understanding of that, he's real trash, tbqh. maybe it wasn't ideal for him, but to switch himself off to you and end the relationship over it, wtf?
No. 298475
>>298449I'm sorry anon. imo you absolutely CAN blame him for that, I think it's a very adult point of view not to, although I think you might be viewing it that way because of poor self-worth. Don't put yourself down, there will be a guy who loves
you and most/if not all the things that make you think you're "not good enough" would be nonsense to him. I will say though that I think strong relationships are much more reliably made in real life, particularly with people who start as friends. Online relationships are often relationships of circumstance where if one of those circumstances changes (new people becoming romantically available, all sorts of things really) everything can easily go to shit since "you're lonely, like that game too, and are acceptably attractive? Let's be in a relationship" and other similar logic makes for a mediocre foundation. And you never really know each other, your view of them is only built on whatever they've opted to show you. The response to that of course is "I actually do though, we talked for X months/years, bla bla bla", but it's the truth and everone who gets burned realizes it over time which helps soothe a lot of the hurt. I just felt like typing what I typed and I hope I didn't bum you out with my bullshit, I'm an introverted loser and online relationships are the only thing open to me if I'm being honest, and tbh even though I know better I might even end up in one at some point because noone likes to feel alone. If you can't tell I had a bad experience and am projecting horribly, I liked my post a lot more when I started working on it an hour ago and it was just me telling you not to cry and that I hope you feel better soon

It's fucked up cos he was such a good dad to me and my siblings. My mum was always too sick to cook or clean so he did everything plus work 40+ hours a week but he ignores this child.
I thought my Dad was different but he's just like the rest. Very depressing.

I want to start an IG, if only to give my depressed, unmotivated self a reason to go out, take/edit photos as a creative outlet, and keep a sort of personal reference for my style.
The only thing is that I don't know what aesthetic to go for. I'm extremely eclectic. I could just not care and post whatever I want, but building a following will be harder without a clear direction (and having followers would be pretty encouraging), especially since I'm too private to try and hook people in by sharing my life and building an overarching persona. I'm scared that if I only pick one style, I'll have trouble committing because I'm too eclectic with color choice, fashion, editing style, etc.

>>298392i just started my dream job and it's my first week. i'm making loads of stupid mistakes and letting everyone down and i'm really scared this is going to sour my relationships there as i know i'm coming off incompetent and stupid but i just can't seem to stop making stupid mistakes.
for example i missed a really important time-sensitive email this morning because it went into my junk folder (stupid fucking gmail) and i've only just gotten around to responding. i apologised and everything but it's not good enough.
i'm getting nightmares over this shit, i kept waking up last night in a cold sweat after dreaming i'd been fired.
i don't know what to do i'm crying all the time and i'm really scared. but i can't say anything to my mentor in case it makes me look even less competent. i never say the right thing and i always do embarrassing shit at work too. i hate myself.

>>298617i really hate this attitude. i've been in both and the more intimate and meaningful relationships i've had, by far, have been ldrs.
most people in irl are assumed to have more intimate 'real' relationships when they don't necessarily.
No. 298642
>>298636>it's a false intimacy though, and it comes from there not being any real repercussions to online confessionsi get that ldrs can be founded on less shaky ground because there's more of an incentive to be untrustworthy and obviously easier to hide shit and disappear, but that doesn't mean that all of them are like that or that it's inherent to all ldrs. it just means that's a major risk. people can ghost or lie and often do in irl relationships all of the time.
>have you been in a relationship where you lived with your partner, to compare?i have. i don't know how that's so much more intimate than being with someone for most of your free time online or whatever when you're unable to be together. what's the difference? you can't sniff their farts through nightly or all day videocall?
No. 298759
>>298731Nta but being an adult with a career makes me question even more why someone would want to keep an LDR status on a meaningful relationship for more than a year.
Another scenario is maybe a husband and wife had to go LDR for temporary career purposes.
Other than that, why? An adult with a career ought to know whether they want to get serious within a pretty reasonable time frame. Not 3 years apart.
No. 298762
>>298759Well that's what I meant, adults with careers can be in LDRs for a short period of time, cause they can easily get a job and move to stop it from being LDR. You shouldn't be in an online relationship for more than a few months. Obviously moving in together doesn't need to happen, but you can make a decision to move your career nearer to them.
Most people in LDRs end up just moving with no job or plan or anything and being screwed.

It sucks how hard it is to maintain friendships or make new ones once you leave college. I pretty much spend my weekends doing nothing. The few friends still remaining (who haven't moved away) are so difficult to corral into actually doing anything.

>>298770I no longer see anyone I met in college, but I'm still hanging out with friends from Jr High and high school. I think spending all those formative years together creates a stronger bond.
It's hard for me to make friends at work because a lot of them are older and married with their own families. I'm in a bit of a limbo.
Semi-related, but does anyone else here not really have a "best friend"? I have people that I hang out with, but I wouldn't consider us to be emotionally close. Even with my high school friends I'm no longer like… venting to them or telling them secrets. Idk.

>>298572Nothing to add except I'm in the same boat. It's a mix between "real" relationship and LDR, because of my work.
It's like 95% of the time everything is well and I've never met someone like him, truly. But there were a few times where he acted like a real douche, that I can count on one hand, but I keep replaying them whenever I'm in a downward spiral.
To be fair I try to re focus and realize it's me who keep bringing up past issues mentally and that I was probably harsh too sometimes, except my brain probably gives itself a pass and forget about those. And when I say he acted like a douche, it was never stuff like cheating, insults or physical abuse.
I probably have some undiagnosed anxiety issues and I can't wait to have enough to start therapy.

Novel tier vent, apologies. I need to get so much off my chest.
With the urging from my supervisor who's known about my relationship problems, I broke up with my bf of nearly 5 years a few days ago. She said she saw no joy in me anymore, and while I was good at my job I've changed; was stressed all the time, and gained a lot of weight. I probably wouldn't have done it had he not been inconsiderate and pissed me off after work. Then again, the exact problem is that he is so inconsiderate and ungrateful and that's why I'm angry and unhappy all the time. He just doesn't care, the only thing he cares about is his own comfort.
The other day I had a late and busy night at work. Two hours before my shift ended he texted me to let me know he was hanging out with a friend and asked me to come if I got out early. I didn't get out early, but after work I texted to ask if he was still there and he said 'two minutes out.' Ok? I thought it meant they went and got food or something and they were two minutes from getting back. It didn't say he was or wasn't there, and why even send such a cryptic message anyway? He's a bad communicator. I put my phone down and start driving. I get there and the lights are off at friend's house, so I look at my phone again and he texted me minutes after the first and said "at home." Wtf, so I asked him if he was at home or not. He made me drive out there for nothing.
I got home and as per usual there was a sink full of dirty dishes. The kitchen was gross, so basically there were tons of little things he could've done to make my life easier and make me a little happier. How fucking pathetic is it that I would've been happy if he would have came out, greeted me, and told me he did one teensy weensy chore? But no, that never happens. I have to ask or nag like a mom. I'm. so. fucking. tired. of having to ask, beg, and nag at another fucking adult to keep tidy their own dwellings and belongings. This conversation has been had so many times and evidently he never learnt shit from them. He was in the bedroom being idle and playing a game on his phone. Because why do any work if I'll be the fucktart cuckquean who does it?
So I started hate-washing the dishes. I was very upset and started to cry because once again I was the one doing all the domestic work that men take for granted while I work fucking full time to boot. This is "equality," "50/50," "fairness," "progressivism," I thought? I muttered under my breath that I hated him, but maybe in my hysterics I said it more loudly than I thought because at that point he came out. He tried to hug me (typical manipulation tactic, butter me up) but that stuff has long stopped working on me. It annoyed me, so I shouted at him for having not done shit. For hanging out with friends instead of coming home to help with anything.
I told him we were over then and there.
Then he had the balls to turn this around to make it about finances. It's the only card he's ever got to play.
Let me digress about finances for a few paragraphs:
See, he pays rent. So he treats our relationship like a tit for tat contract.
Because he pays rent and pays for things sometimes, he feels it means he shouldn't have to any domestic work. It's horse shit!
Theoretically I could give him money for rent but I'm trying to pay down my college loan and credit cards, the grocery bill is also pretty expensive because I cook nice things for us. I hate my job and get out when I can so sometimes my paycheck isn't ideal. I could give him rent money, it would just make my stress worse–not like he cares. Yet I would feel even more cucked when I'd have to do shit at home by myself. He's asking for me to pay him rent, work my 40, and come home to more domestic labor. Not a fair deal, sorry.
Besides rent and his own personal debts, I pay utilities, streaming services, etc. He doesn't drive, I have my car. Everything in the apartment including the televisions, bed, furniture, dishware/cookware, and even his fancy ps4 pro is all shit I bought and is mine. He has no possessions besides his piles of dirty clothes and a few games. No assets. Nothing of use.
He's salty and bitter about paying rent because he works shitty food service jobs and wonders why money sucks. He hates how I have paid vacation time off right now because I have a real job, but he even admits he's unwilling to do what I do. He refuses to get a real job (re: requiring to show up to work on the dot, working a full 8 hours, and be subject to rules and regulations). He bitches about his job but his job is easy, the pay is worth what he does imo–and what he does is nothing. Every day it's "Wah I got no customers!" which means he didn't really work then, hm? Folded some knives and forks maybe? Had 3 hours of nothing to do? Meanwhile I'm at my job working back to back, I never have a minute to breathe.
Also, he's bad with his money but blames me about the rent.
He defers his student loan all the time because he doesn't file income based repayment so the monthly is too high for him to meet. He has more student debt than I do (I have up to my master's) despite him not having a single degree. Not even an associates. He's irresponsible.
Since he doesn't have a car, he Ubers to work. He's too proud anymore to bike. So his Uber bill a month is usually $300-400. A few months back he whined about how Uber was increasing their charges, so he demanded I pay him money. I told him I would buy him a motorized scooter for $600 because it's bullshit that he's paying $400/month for Uber!! He didn't want the scooter because he's too proud to be seen on one. But it shut him up because he knew he had no right to bitch at me about money when he's giving Uber $400 per month.
About him not having a car: He lived with me and my parents rent-free for a year after I graduated and we moved to the area. The agreement was he had to save up for a car. Well, he didn't like living with my parents (because he was expected to do chores) so he lied to me and them about having money. He admitted later he didn't and I stupidly covered for him. In the two years that have passed, he's never saved for a car. He's 28 years old.
Told my dad if he comes at me about rent again he should charge the backed rent my ex didn't pay while he lived with us.
4-5 times a week he goes out with friends or to the bar for karaoke. So, if he's so strapped for cash, he shouldn't be doing that. But he does because he's selfish and wants to have fun.
You think I got out with my girlfriends? Fuck no. Never. Unless he invites me out with his friends, but sometimes that doesn't even work out clearly!
—
Sorry, so anyway, he brings up finances to imply I'm a fucking mooch who brings nothing to the table and shouldn't I be so grateful he pays rent? And how dare I be angry at him when he does dishes twice a month when I nag him to do it?
I hollered that he was a stupid cunt who's bad with money and I didn't wanna be with him anymore.
He told me to leave then.
I replied he was a moron because my name is on the lease and I can't just abandon the property without my name being off it. And oh, all the shit in the apartment is mine and there's no way I'm moving out without my own stuff.
He kept saying "I DON'T NEED THIS!" and would walk away. I called him a coward who didn't want to face the truth.
I started to sob uncontrollably after the standoff. He did nothing, had a dry face. He didn't even look all that upset, maybe just preoccupied with thinking about what he's gonna do now that I'm going to leave. He slept on the floor with his laptop while I cried all night.
Did I mention how I took him on a dream vacation internationally a couple weeks ago? The reason why I suffer through my job is because I get flight passes to anywhere in the world. I got us first class tickets on an international flight. He treated me awful during the trip btw, making a face whenever I wanted to do something that involved spending the money we saved up for that purpose. Only cared about himself and his good time the whole trip.
I feel like billing him the $6,000 it would have cost him to buy the plane ticket himself if he wants to lord rent over my head. He has no gratitude for what I did for us.
I'm at my parent's house for the weekend because I'm too disgusted to look at him. I cry and shake, I'm angry and distraught. I've wasted five years of my life with this self-centered person. I overlooked and forgave his behaviors because I'm kind and want to keep the peace. I projected and gave him chances because I'm the type to take criticism and change when I'm given fair chances. But not him. He just wants to do and take what he wants with no consequences.
I tried to update my social media status to single but sites like fb didn't publish it. So no one knows we've broken up and he's being hush online. He hasn't changed his status. Maybe he thinks all this will blow over me, but it's not going to.
Worst of all…is that because he's sociable and nice to his friends, they will stan for him and treat me like a mooch bitch because that's what he's going to tell them. They don't know the full story like what I've typed here. And hey, they'll say, why didnt ya just leave sooner? Although I'm sure if I dumped him sooner they would've said But why didnt ya give him a chance? Damned if I do or don't. Fuck it.
He's gonna get his rent money so long as I have to be his roommate. But he will get no more car rides from me. No more cooked meals. He wants to use my cookware? He can ask my permission and it will be washed after he uses it. The bed's mine, he can buy a cot or air mattress. He will no longer get my flight passes, which is funny because he wanted to go visit his home in a different state and now he will have to buy a plane ticket for a couple hundred dollars.
He can go fuck himself. What a sorry fucking ingrate and if only I hadn't felt so trapped and fallen for manipulation tactics I would have broken up sooner. I wonder where my life would be right now if I had a guy who valued me, had his own car, and had a real career? Someone who would've elevated me instead of dragging me down and verbally beating me about rent.
My girlfriends have wonderful boyfriends and spouses.
One of my girlfriends hasn't worked in a year due to an illness, and even before that she worked as a barista. Her fiance gives her a full ride and he never bitches.
A different friend currently isn't employed but her bf just bought them a new house, I'm going to go hang out with her and see the new place.
I attended a different friend's wedding last year, she was married after four years of dating and they have a new house together.
This pants shitting bastard would never have done that for me like those REAL men. Never. One of my sweet girlfriends even PM'd him the engagement rings I'd been looking at, kind of as a hint, and he never looked at it again. He wasn't going to commit to me, he just used me so he could live his bachelor lifestyle. I was just the onahole and maid. If I knew my life wasn't going to get better now that I'm leaving him, I'd kill myself right now.
…um, anyway. I'm probably all over the place because I'm so manic. I'll stop now. Sorry again.

>>298872No, wait, I'm not done ranting yet. I've got more.
Another reason why I'm so stressed and why I hate him so bad?
A week before our international trip, our upstairs neighbors yanked out a fucking water pipe and severely flooded our apartment.
We live below these ignoramuses in a high-rent shithole because bf needs to be closer for his job, doesn't drive remember?
So anyway, he's been lax about the ordeal because he lives like a filthy bachelor and none of his stuff was destroyed. All the furniture that got damaged is mine.
I've been the one taking charge with the apartment office and getting shit done.
The one thing I can't get done? The insurance. The rental insurance is the only bill in his name believe it or not.
He didn't know how to fucking file so I've had to do this all via proxy. Now, since we've broken up, I'm fucking terrified he won't file and/or will pocket the reimbursement money since the insurance people will send him a check in his name.
I might be screwed in that regard, but oh well.

Does he even know how to do laundry? Cook? anything? Nope. He's gonna beg you to do it. don't fall for his bullshit anon. You sound like you've hit your limit and his immediate reaction to blame you for money issues is a clear sign he doesn't deserve a second chance.

>laundryHe does his own laundry because I told him I wasn't gonna do it for him like a year or so ago. He overloads it because he puts off doing it. His clothes never get clean, and when he finally gets the gumption to do it the clothes sit on the floor and in the laundry baskets for months. Christ, I told him to go through his clothes and throw out the ones he didn't want 6 months ago. The bag is still sitting in the bedroom! I put it by the front of the door 2 months ago, and the hoarder put it right back.
>cooksHe can cook but he never cooks for me. Can't name the last time he's done so. But honestly? The stuff he cooks is so unthoughtful like hamburger helper that I'd rather just make something nice for myself. I work too hard to eat his slop.
He can't load a dishwasher, however. So if I know he's 'loaded' and ran it, I know those dishes aren't clean. Even when he washes dishes they're often greasy, and he misses spots because he rushes.
And this is a guy who works in the food industry! Can't wash a fucking dish. Makes you think.
Oi. Anyway anon sorry I'm throwing out all this stuff but I've kept it in for so long. Thanks for the kind words.

>>298893>>298872I know it feels horrible to waste 5 years on a shitstain like your ex, but think of it this way: you are free now. You don't need to suffer even MORE years with someone as him.
Now you can focus solely on yourself. Work towards what you need and what you'd like. When you focus your own energy on yourself (and people who deserve it), you will see how things will develop for the better.
Loneliness might hit you since you've been in a relationship for some time now, but don't let it take control and don't go back to the shitstain because you will just end up in the same cycle. Instead cry it out, or write all those bad emotions in a journal. That way, you will externalize those emotions and they will fade in a "healthy" way.
What I'd recommend you to do is move away from him. Rent is actually a small price to pay compared to having a burden of shitty ex bf on your back.
Also anon, believe in yourself. You seem like a responsible person and with having responsibility - you can do a lot. Never waste your energy on irresponsible people like your ex-bf, they will just drain you.

Their whole profile got rewritten into something that looks like ISIS recruit profile (every post is now militant themed and written in arabic alphabet, they didn't change my friends' names though so it looks like they suddenly went ISIS which is fucked up).

My boyfriend is starting to twig that we have a lot of issues and I'm not sure how to address them with him.
He's very generous. He listens to my problems, he always offers to pay for stuff I can't afford because he earns more than I do. But sexually, with the chores, and in terms of what we do together, he's so selfish. He only wants to do anything if he's suggested it and if it's something he's very interested in, there's little if any time for my interests but he'll spend hours talking about his. He never does any chores unless I suggest we do them together. In bed, all the foreplay is for him, and usually I come once or not at all even though I'm multiorgasmic. And he says he's kinky but our sex is so repetitive and bland unless it involves a blowjob, and then he always wants to be super kinky and fun and try something differently (blindfolding him, cumming on my face, holding my head down etc). The actual sex is just 5-10 minutes of him holding me down in missionary and pulling at my ass (which for some reason makes orgasming impossible for me) while I do most of the work, and it's generally a really uncomfortable position but he constantly pulls me into it. He very very very rarely wants to be on top and do anything for me, and he says he loves giving head but for every 10 blowjobs I maybe get eaten out once if I'm lucky.
His weight is also an issue. It wasn't to begin with. I thought he was working on it, and fair enough he's had a rough time, but it's repulsing me more and more lately.
I feel fucking terrible for feeling like this because he has financially supported me far more than he's had to, and I get along so well with his family. I feel like I "owe" it to him to let him be selfish sometimes, but I never ask for anything he offers to do for me, so I also feel kind of tricked into owing him sometimes.
We're also very different people and those differences have become more apparent since I've been staying at his more and more. We have some things in common but those things are starting to feel more and more trivial these days.
Sometimes he says things like "I feel selfish" and "I feel like I dont satisfy you anymore" but I feel like admitting he is will just hurt his ego more so I just avoid it.

for years furries have pretended their fetish community isn’t sexual uwu and the consequence of that is that is shelters unbelievably sick fucks like in the logs. disguising your community as nonsexual and letting kids in just to expose them to all kinds of vile internet porn should be some form of grooming imo. but that’s a different issue than fucking actual zoosadism.

If the sex is a bigger thing than the chores, ask him to not yank you down into missionary because it is uncomfortable/hurts and doesn't feel good.
If the chores is a bigger thing, ask him if you can spend 15 minutes together to tackle 1 room. You can take out the trash, he can sweep the floor, you can wipe down the counters and stove, he can do the dishes. Working in tandem as a set schedule.

Not really a vent as much as it is a question
me and the fam were cleaning out my parents house of The Horde, and I came across one of those plush nets most kids had. I asked my mom if this was supposed to be something for my cousin or something 20 years ago and she says "no it was supposed to be for you"
I never had one as a child but I still have a few plush that might look good in the net. Should I hang it up?

Your roomie doesn't understand that it's not good to leave a puppy unsupervised.

Your pup is going to learn some bad behaviors and neuroses if this continues, he's getting mixed messages about what's allowed.

>>299212idk if this is relevant to you but when i feel this way i just remind myself that studying past hs is more like work or a hobby than like pre-college school.
i figure the first decade of studying was mandatory by the law and subjects that i didn't choose to learn about, so it gave me a bad association with studying that i don't have with freely chosen tasks.
my further studying IS my choice and not mandatory, so thinking of it the same way I think of doing things for work or doing things because I want to hone a skill feels a lot less obnoxious.
like with elementary-high school, my first thought about studying was "ughh this is so pointless but i guess i better get around to it eventually so i don't get yelled at…but maybe i'll watch one more tv show first"
when i do stuff for work my first thought is "i'm gonna do this so i can get more money"
when i do stuff for a hobby my first thought is "i'm gonna do this because it's interesting to me and i want to hone a skill!"
studying as a choice used to feel like the first camp because that's the first association, so i just slowly but surely moved it to the other two categories, because those are more accurate anyway.
sorry if this sounds insane it's really just a simple change in attitude.

This post started in a very different way, but I had an epiphany while writing it and I decided to change it.
I think my boyfriend may not be as nice as I thought he was.
I should explain some things before I continue. A childhood of neglect, sexual abuse, and bullying left me with a pesky ED (atypical anorexia) and possibly BPD (although the BPD specialist I was sent to said I didn't have it and kept talking about PTSD instead). Some of my relevant symptoms include not feeling like I deserve to eat if someone eats my food without permission, intense brain fog, and pretty low self-esteem. I also subconsciously forget a lot of distressing things, so my childhood memories are incredibly sparse and I've blocked out most of the CSA.
When I started posting this, I just wanted to vent about how worried I am that I'm alienating my boyfriend. Lately it feels like I can't do anything right, and that he's starting to see me as an idiotic child. Yesterday he tried to explain how colours worked to me because he decided I was wrong for saying that #50556a is blue, since it's obviously grey. He started 'teaching' me about how in RGB an equal amount of all three makes grey, even though that wasn't relevant here since they're not equal. It ended with him taking a block of chocolate he'd acknowledged was mine about an hour prior and eating half of it, despite him knowing full well that this is my biggest ED trigger (since whenever he does it I ask him to please not do that). About an hour after this we started playing Trivial Pursuit, and I spaced on a pretty basic/obvious science question ("What part of the body has the thickest skin?" - I said the butt, like a FOOL). I said "I'm so dumb" (because it was really obvious in hindsight) and he said "don't do that" in a bad-dog-don't-pee-on-the-rug voice, even though he'd decided right before this that I wasn't capable of understanding colours.
I share a venting Discord with some close friends, and I wanted to find other examples of him treating me like I'm stupid (because this one is fairly mild), and looking through all my past posts is really upsetting. I've only gone back as far as February, but I don't remember most of these at all. I'm clearly very distressed in them, but I'm totally blanking. I barely remember him throwing a half-eaten cookie onto my desk, storming out, then coming back in to ask me why I "have to make [him] feel like shit" because I asked him why he was eating it right after acknowledging that it was mine. I have the faintest memory of him being incredibly patronising toward me after I suggested that little kids playing incredibly violent/gory games might not be good for their developing brains (it appears that he started putting a lot of words in my mouth and 'debating' an invented argument, even when I insisted that it was completely different to what I was saying), and I kinda remember him lying to me about a girl (about a week before we started dating they kissed a few times, he sent her drunk messages saying he loved her, and then we traveled to a different country to hang out with her; he told me about the kisses and messages at the time, but now he says it was one peck and nothing else).
I don't remember thinking things like
>i know i'm just being dumb and whiny but i don't like feeling like i only have value if i agree with someone at all times
before tonight, but a lot of the messages read like that one so I guess I just suppress it. We've only ever had two actual big fights (one where he was saying hurtful things because he was in a bad mental place, and one where I found out the blog he used daily that I linked my friends to as a "hey look it's my BF" had an archive filled with naked women and posts about how he desperately wanted to date his hairdresser because she's the most beautiful girl he's ever seen; even though it makes me sound like a crazy person I was super embarrassed that he 1. had any of that on there in the first place and 2. didn't think it was worth deleting when he got into a serious relationship) so I hope I'm not just making mountains out of molehills, and that I actually just forgot these things because they were incredibly minor, but I seem super upset in those messages, and it makes me wonder what else I've blocked out/ignored in the past two years.
Maybe I am just incredibly stupid, and he's just being nice when he tells me I'm the most intelligent person he knows, since I can't figure out how he can think the most intelligent person he knows is somehow also the world's biggest dumbass. I left my country to live with him, and right now I'm completely financially dependent on him because of visa stuff (which isn't an issue, he wanted me here ASAP and says he's happy to pay for my food, therapy etc.) so I hope that this is simply a misunderstanding and he isn't just like every other guy I've dated. I love him more than anything, but I worry that he secretly hates me.
Sorry if this is incoherent, but it's 4am here and I've been on the verge of a panic attack for hours.
(Also I know the porn thing is probably an overreaction, but one of my exes turned out to be secretly running not only a porn blog but also an entire crossdressing porn xhamster account where he made men give him 'tributes', then dumped me when I found out and now posts my pictures/email on 'tribute' sites while telling people he wishes he could send them revenge porn of me, so I get really anxious about things that remind me of that)

>>299254hey anon, i noticed that your inner struggle right now seems to be about rectifying 2 possibilities
1)he's a total untrustworthy asshole and he thinks you're dumb and isn't nice and treats you like shit
OR
2) he's actually nice and there's nothing wrong and you're just making it up because you're the one in the wrong
but there's a third option, and that's that while he's not the worst guy in the world and he's not trying to be malicious, he's
not mature or empathetic enough to be in a relationship with you right now so he makes mistakes that cause you unnecessary distress and hurt. your feelings are valid whether or not he's doing it on purpose. he doesn't need to be some kind of monster in order for you to be justified in feeling hurt or breaking up with him.
i have a similar problem where when i have really intense emotions, i need to find some big undeniable justification for them, otherwise they're pointless and stupid. this is bad because if someone just makes an honest mistake, you can twist it that they're really a lot worse than they meant, and on the flip side, if someone really is abusing you, you can brush it off because it's not quite bad enough for you to feel justified.
you need to learn to accept your emotions as they are. you don't deserve to be in a relationship we're you're constantly upset by it, even if your bf made an honest mistake.
also i'm not trying to say that your bf ISN'T abusive or malicious, I just don't have enough information to tell one way or another, and your perception seems very emotionally biased and keeps fluctuating from one extreme to the other, like it's either that he's the bad one or you're the bad one, so i just want to point out that neither of you necessarily has to be the bad one, it can just be bad timing and a bad match in emotional compatibility
also you're right, it's a grayish blue. what would even be the point of naming or labeling specific colors if you're just going to shove all shades into like 10 boxes

>>298815He's not like that, I've known him since I was a child (hes my age its not a pedo thing lol). I think it's just that I already have mental illness so everything seems and feels 10x worse
>>298617Another issue is that we're not. Everything being said over text makes me able to recall in exactness what he's said at his worst, and what I've said at mine. We fix things by the time we go to bed, make sure we go easy on eachother the next day. It doesn't happen often at all.
We've been through a lot together, we've seen eachothers worst. I think his issue is just that he hasn't been in a relationship with anyone besides me before, and doesn't know the limits of what you should and shouldn't say to someone you're that close to. He doesn't swear at me anymore when he's upset with me, so I know he's taking note of things. I just have a weird time letting go of things. Like I said I don't hold it against him I just look back at it to upset myself because yes,
>>298646 , I'm unstable.
How would you all define intimacy if it's something that can't be replicated over text? In words? Like
>>298642 said. The difference being that you can find even more little petty things to be annoyed with them for?
You all seem to think that irl relationships cannot be stupidly idealized or that it's not equally as easy to lie to someone, as if people don't cheat while living in the same household or argue with someone they love.
We talk about good things and bad things, probably more than most people would talk with someone they lived with most days. And plenty of IRL relationships don't work out the best, if they did we'd all be with the first person we thought we were in love with for the rest of our natural lives. Not really a reason to go "Hurdur they never work"
Yeah there's a difference in LDR and IRL relationships, but we've talked about it and are well aware we'll likely have issues to start specifically because we don't know how our behaviors are going to wind up intermingling. We're not that stupid, just introverted.
That being said if things go sour I'll be back to let you know you were right so you can add another tally to your "FAILED LDR" vs "SUCCESSFUL LDR" board.

That fucking shit about the furries who rape/mutilate dogs, puppies and deer is haunting me.
When I see pictures of cute little puppies, I just start to feel sick and sad. It's not as bad with dogs, as I'd like to think they can mostly defend themselves by biting (despite what I saw in one of the videos).
With puppies, I think about the fact that some piece of shit looks at the same images, feels sexual attraction, and wants to cause them extreme pain. That they see these creatures and probably message each other shit like "wags tail I would definitely rape that one~ :3" and mean it to their cores. That if the poor things fell into the hands of someone like that (and it's painfully easy for that to happen - some fuckers in the logs talked about raping and killing a puppy they got off Craigslist and called it a "rent-a-pup"), they can't run away easily, or even tell anyone.
And then I start to get paranoid and wonder about the puppies' fate, if they have an owner like that, if they could've been "adopted" to some sick fuck by an unknowing owner, etc. I know it's dumb and the puppies in the pictures are probably alright, but fuck. I didn't even see the absolute worst of the archives or finish the logs, but I regret learning about all this. I've seen a ton of human gore and shit without being affected, but I'm still sensitive about anything involving animals or babies. Baby animals, especially, are the most vulnerable, defenseless creatures. They can't even talk about what happens to them. Fuck.
I think, if I ever have a ton of puppies or kittens I can't adopt out to friends, family or strangers I can do thorough checks on (no fucking furries), I would rather drown or euthanize them than give them to complete strangers. Who even knows what could happen.

I love my parents, but at the same time I feel very bitter towards them, which sucks because I was hoping that once I became older I would let go of it. My parents are honest to god good people who I know for a fact love me, but their overprotectiveness, unwillingness to let me try new things and have any social interaction stunted my growth as person and now I feel like I've lost so many years of my life trying to catch up to others, and I still haven't. I remember my childhood and teenage years and how they basically kept me locked in my room like a hamster and then couldn't understand why I didn't function like a normal girl my age and I feel so mad. But at the same time, can I be mad? I had a house. I had food. They never hit me. They just raised me like a pet instead of their child. But they loved me.
I’ve tried so hard to become my best version. I enrolled myself in conversation circles, tried learning how to drive, tried pushing myself out of my comfort zone, tried to stop being a people pleaser, but I'm either a failure or I just feel so fake. Everything I've become feels fake. But then who am I? Do I even have a personality? I still can’t open myself to anyone, I still fear rejection more than anything. I still see myself as this immature, scared, incapable of doing anything right piece of garbage and I can’t help but feel it’s partially my parents fault for raising me like that. But what if it wasn’t their fault? What if it’s all me? I feel so conflicted

>>299492>had a roof over my head and foodThat has nothing to do with any abuse you may have been through. And those things were ultimately for them that they were paying for for themselves to survive, not necessarily for you. I wish people would stop making victim feel shit because "hurr you had a roof over yer head and food right???"
Like how is knowing we had the most basic of needs that everyone should have supposed to be a special feat as if we victims didn't experience abuse because of that?

I wish there were more depictions of female lone wolves in the media. I can't really think of any.
Ironically, lone wolves in the animal kingdom are mostly older females.
Yet as a lifestyle, it's often attributed to men.
It's a lifestyle that I'm working on, but it would nice to have depictions of female characters whether in movies, books, or even video games, where a woman is just happy being on her own whether being on an adventure, working an interesting job, or making her own way to the top without selling her looks or relying on men.
Because when men are lone wolves, they're badass, heroic, enigmatic, etc.
When women are lone wolves they are often called cat ladies and depicted as sad and in dire need of a man.
I wish I had funds to make my own game or enough talent to write my own book. It would probably sell like shit lel

Behold: The minorist of minor vents incoming.
I took out my earring for the first time on friday. Left it in for two years after being pierced (took good care of it with seasalt spray).
It's nearly closed up already, despite having poked through it saturday morning and evening. Since sunday I could no longer go all the way through.
It's frustrating because I first got it pierced 10 years ago- but with a gun instead of a needle so it got infected and as a result I have scar tissue which I'm scared to poke while attempting to insert the earring.
If I ever have kids and they want earrings/piercings I'm absolutely not taking them to a place that uses guns. 10 years later and I still have issues with this shit, I just wish I could wear cute earrings on BOTH sides is that so much to ask for.

i have a serious case of the munchies and i hate it so much. ever since i stopped being an anachan and cut out the disordered eating it’s like i can’t just sit down and feel calm without munching on something- usually chocolate, nutella or hot cocoa during the winter. it’s a wonder i’m not a fattychan. though i do feel like one.
when i’m not calming whatever’s wrong with me by munching away i have an online shopping addiction that stresses me out even more in the long run. if i see something, i need it before it goes out of stock or i still have some discount code to use or i feel like a failure and i can’t let it go. it’s like i get fixated on items and if i don’t have them there’s something missing and i’m not complete. never mind the guilt of compulsively spending money like a tween.
sweets and online shopping are essentially my drugs and when i’m not having either, i feel completely lost and empty. and of course they both stress the shit out of me too. no matter if i follow through with them or not, i will still feel anxious and guilty and worthless. feels bad.
No. 299784
>>299699Have you tried finding healthier things to munch on? Popcorn might be a good substitute. It is low in calories. Even sweet kettle corn isn't that calorific. If you get regular popcorn get the kind without butter. I can also vouch for frozen blueberries, its like crack to me.
You might also do OK with lollipops perhaps, they aren't healthy but they take a much longer time to finish compared to something like a chocolate bar. You can easily kill a chocolate bar quickly and consume a lot of calories, a lollipop can take forever so you can't consume so many calories in the same time frame. For drinks maybe tea sweetened with amacha (Japanese hydrangea) can hit the spot.

I feel like this recent guilt/sadness/whatever over past mistakes is just another way for my brain to justify self hatred. Simply because I've gone a solid year without caring about that fuck-up, and recently the bad thoughts have come back. And my brain's using the regret as a weapon.
Wish I could fully convince myself what happened happened and there's no point to thinking about it. Life moves on. I'll just have to yank up my big girl panties and practice acceptance. There are avenues for success now, even if my current state is colorless.
It's, hard, though. Logically I shouldn't be in this situation; all I had to do was try. Had 3 years to do so.
And, it's not something I can confess IRL because everyone will just shit on me…and it'd probably be what I deserve. Still, though. It's shitty.

I think a big part of it was practicing so much that now being, like, thoughtful and friendly and engaging is second nature when I'm out and about, it's weird, it's not even 100% acting anymore, it's that ingrained it almost doesn't feel like it.
It's also a very useful skill for getting along with family members and other people I care about when I'm in a bad mood and don't want to show it, 90% of the time I can turn the "good mood" on instantly for them so they don't get worried/annoyed/etc.

>>299904I'm
>>299901 and for me at least it was like, over the years I figured out a bunch of little things (through trial and error - i.e not doing them at first)
Things like, genuinely LISTEN to people when they're talking, I can't emphasise this too much, react to what they're saying - not exaggeratedly at all, but things like nodding, laughing, sounds of agreement/interest at appropriate times, a big thing that helped me was having "stock phrases" that i could use to show interest in a conversation, PARTICULARLY stuff that encouraged the other person to keep talking - people on the whole always enjoy talking about themselves and their interests to an interested audience, it's natural
If youre not naturally empathetic, you can still help yourself by TRYING to be empathetic, like, if someone's telling you about a messy divorce, and they don't seem too happy about it, you don't need to be a genius to get that that is something you should be suitably serious about - they might want to linger on that, they might not, so drop it when they seem to want to drop it
Another thing: don't talk about yourself all the time, if possible, only talk about yourself when it's necessary to, keep it to a bare minimum - this is about getting along with people, not forming bonds or something, just getting along
More on the stock phrases, stuff like "how long have you been doing (interest) for?" "what do you like about it?" "how does such-and-such work?" - tbh there are a billion examples, they don't have to be hugely insightful or groundbreaking questions, just enough to keep things rolling. Shy away from asking about personal stuff but there's a lot you can talk about with a person without sounding like a creep. People love complaining, too, lmao.
But yeah, and then I practiced, practiced, practiced. People I met in supermarkets, at the bus stop, at clubs, at work, everything. Some people you just won't ever really get on with, and that's fine, but you can still do your best. In one case I managed to keep a solid, professional, even pretty pleasant working relationship with a colleague i really didn't like, because i TAMPED DOWN on my feelings of dislike and outright just pretended i was her buddy. Painful for me, but it was a far better outcome than the mood of the department being shit.
You often have to put your feelings - of boredom, of crankiness, whatever - to one side. It's a valuable skill to have. No-one's saying stick around someone who's giving you bad vibes, but even in those scenarios - speaking from experience - you can sometimes get someone to leave you alone in a nice way, rather than a way that could turn aggressive. Not every weirdo who approaches you is going to rape and dismember you unless you kick him in the nuts and run away. But that depends on a bunch of factors, like where you are, time of day, people around etc. If you gotta run, run.
And I guess the final thing is, you can be in control of the situation if you want. Don't turn into a megalomaniac, but like, if you're just standing around awkwardly with someone, and the conversation has dried up (or even if it hasn't!) you CAN just go, "hey, it was nice talking to you, see you later" or similar, I know this seems to contradict a bit with what I said above but there's a time and a place for everything. You really don't have to be reliant on everyone else to start and stop every interaction.
Well that's all I can think of for now. Hope it's some use, anon. It's a learning curve, seriously, just don't get disheartened. Even normies do a lot of shit they find really, really embarrassing, it's not just us.

>>300020I just want to say that I know how you feel cause I've been in the same situation. When I was living with my parents food was the only distraction from how awful and lonely my life was and the only thing that made me feel good for a moment despite of depression. Due to my father losing work of 15 years and borderline illegal mortgage we ended up being really poor suddenly. I was not taking medication yet so was really umbalanced emotionally. It could make me cry and get angry when my father did not bring me the chips or sweets that I requested, especially when I knew that there's something I can't stand for dinner. I remember being really angry and disapointed when my father bought me basic corn puffs and not chips cause he could barely afford even them. I hated myself for not being able to appreciate them and acting like a little shit but I could not stop my crying tantrum cause it made me remember how poor we are and how shitty is our situation. I feel awful even remembering that. It was such a terrible mix of painful emotions - feeling sorry for my dad, irrationally angry cause I did not get what I wanted and because my life was shit, overwhelmed with depression….
The fact that now I can purchase and eat all the food I want is a major contributor to my binge-eating disorder and why I'll have to start therapy soon.

One of my friends started dating someone and that shook up the entire group structure because she's distanced herself from us to be with him. She's quite man-dependent and acts like she was born conjoined with him.
We talked it over after some little fights, she's closer now. She drags him along with her, but still.
It's quite bothersome sometimes but he's not a bad guy so we try to befriend him too.
Then today one of my friends decides to start yelling at her and call her names because she was making out with the boyfriend in front of him, causing a scene in the middle of the campus. I wasn't there and they came to cry in my arms later because i'm the "therapist friend".
I'm heavily depressed atm, can't bother to quit smoking so much and literally am just a ball of stress with finals and projects coming up at the end of the year, and have no idea what do. I told them both my honest opinion ("You're quite obnoxious with your relationship, but he was an asshole and you should get him to apologize / I know she's been annoying and that is really uncomfortable, but you should have your nerves under control and apologize"), but they still don't want to talk to each other properly and i'm honestly too exhausted to bother anymore.
They're the few people i actually care about in this city and i'm considering just asking for a transfer over to another state's uni, packing up and leaving all this fucking drama and discomfort behind.
This wasn't even the first drama i've gotten myself into lately, since i already got into fights a lot before, but this one was too much.

That might seem tumblrina like, but not everybody is fine with having to watch some disgusting or creepy shit done against women in their free time, without even getting a warning. If you read/watch a thriller you know beforehand that there's probably at least one person going to get killed in it, but people nowadays love to put objectifying or even rape scenes whenever they feel fit, just like a little "extra" (e.g. GoT: Yes, the middle ages were tough, but every single women did not get raped every single day)

I need an advice from you, guys. I though that this place would be perfect to ask as everyone can be truly honest and not pretend to be moralists fags.
So there's a guy friend of mine that was recently married ok after a quite long term relationship with his girlfriend, I know the girl in question before they married, she screwed uó with me in the past and she has some shitty mental disorders like bpd, depression, anxiety, binge ED and at the same time treat him like shit most of the time, doesn't study or work and live sucking his and her family money like a parasite. I said I knew the girl by myself so you can't tell me that the guy lied about her shitty personality in order to manipulate me. For some time I truly believed that the guy regreted marry with her and soon would ask for a divorce as he's cleary not happy but it seems like he wanted the relationship end by it self. Ok, it's understandable. Some time ago he said he was in love with me, so was I because we were very close at the time and we sleeped together but without intercourse 2 times and flerted by messenger but I stopped this shit as quick as I can. I felt like shit afterwards because I don't want to be a lover of any stupid married man as I deserve better and didn't wanted to make anyone suffer because of my fault. We are still friends and talk about normal things on a daily basis as he's a pleasant and interesting person to talk to. What bugs and let me utterly digusted is that they post photos together on social media pretending to be the perfect couple with him sometimes saying how much he love her when he only talked bad about her not talking anything good to me not even once and people commenting "omg you 2 r so cute together!". Of course she didn't know he was unfaithtful truly believing he uncontitionally loves her with all of her problems and before me he flerted with at least two other girls but didn't had anything as he told me as I adviced him that this would not be a good idea.
Should I tell her who her husbund truly is? I'm almost sure that she wouldn't break up with him as she is a complete lazy ass and live with his money but if I were in her place I'd wish to know with whom I'm living with and I don't like men doing good decieving others like this. For one side they deserve each other with this digusting codependency and toxic relationship, for the other side besides she being a not so nice human being she should have the right to know and can teach him a lesson, maybe? She would be very angry at me too with good reason to do so but I can handle it. Idk I'm so digusted.

>>298872>>298875>>298893It's been a week post-breakup. Just wanted to update with some new vents.
Actually, I've felt nothing but relief. I think I'm more or less grieving about the time I lost while with this guy, and maybe the fantasy of having a boyfriend who'd actually care and would want to provide a bit more.
Found out some pretty disturbing things via friends, but I'll talk about that later.
When I came home from my parents house I found him sleeping in my bed. Dishes in the sink. Rotten milk in the garbage can that made the place reek. Oh well. I let that stuff go because I told him we needed to talk about important things, schedules, etc. Yelling would've caused him to shut down like a toddler. I drove us out to breakfast and he was being grouchy to me. Just nasty. Why? Because he's trying to go to that family wedding out of state and already presumed he didn't have a hope in hell of getting a plane ticket from me (a ticket now costs $500). He wasn't trying to keep up pretense. Anyway, I tried to talk with him about the finances but he was just being difficult. I asked him "What about buying a bus ticket?" In which he replied it was too expensive. I found one for $90 and showed it to him. His response? "I don't
need a travel agent. Even if I got the bus ticket it would take too much travel time.
So obviously I'm not going." Woe is him, right?
I'm the one ruining shit for him, right?
"Well then maybe you shouldn't be acting nasty to the only person who can give you a plane ticket right now. Be nice to me. Let's talk."
And just like a light switch, he started to be nice. Cooperative. Even picked up the breakfast tab~ The snake, and then at the end of our meal he tried to say his feelings for me hadn't changed lol.
So right now there's this ridiculous facade of us being on friendly speaking terms, while underneath is his thinly veiled contempt. Contempt because he knows his life is going to get 100 times more difficult without me in the picture, and I've got him by the balls. I plan to give him the plane tickets because I'm not vindictive, and I need this in part so he won't give me trouble about signing me off the lease, but I see through him and his game. My official move out date is next Saturday.
Speaking of, my parents are letting me stay with them for a couple months so I can pay down some debts and save up for a house down payment. Nice of them, eh? Although I may just need to find a storage unit for my stuff because yesterday (on what was going to be me and my ex's anniversary) I got a reply back from a very important government job I had applied for months ago, so I may need to be moving state to train.
Maybe all this was divine timing. My ex would've had to shoo once I got this response, he wasn't coming with me regardless if we were still together.
Recall how I told you guys about the sweet friend who showed him the engagement ring pictures?
She told me he said to her that he meant to propose to me during our international trip. When I came back with nothing she figured it didn't happen.
Out of curiosity I asked him if it was true. He said yes, but "he couldn't afford" the ring. For the record: The ring wasn't over $3k and I wasn't even asking for a wedding ceremony. I just wanted my birthstone in a nice setting. Yet this retard couldn't even figure how to finance one. The plane tickets to our vacation cost double the ring I wanted! Regardless, it all doesn't matter now. Things will get better, it's just awkward having to live here still.

Does the psychiatrists offer therapy or just medication (here it's just the second but I know in the USA it can be both)? Cause maybe despite medication she is not taking care of the psychological issue that makes her want to harm herself. Therapy could be really helpful, but of course it requires time and running into a therapist that you click with. Obviously she must want that for herself and it's not an instant cure… It just seems to me that she has a really troubled mind.
Does she go to drug or alcohol rehab or do you have those for selfharm too (sorry, stupid question)?

I hate how pretentious people can get around anything cultural. I hate how you can't say you enjoy mainstream stuff without getting a little snide smile, sorry I do fucking enjoy Van Gogh and Picasso, I don't feel the need to name drop an obscur contemporary tchetchen artist to feel good about myself. There is a reason Monet, Cezanne, Matisse, etc, are big names, it's because their work was not only beautiful but also fresh and transformative, yes everyone has seen the starry night a billion time in their life, and guess what? I'm still amazed at its beauty every single time I get to see it, and I hope it will stay this way until I can't see anymore. Blasé isn't cool.

I want metoo to fucking go away already I’m sick of hearing all these descriptions of rape and sexual assault and people talking about coercion and men’s rapey behavior that they consider normal it always reminds me that I can never really know the truth if I was raped and I have to feel these horrible feelings every time.
I guess I should feel happy that my ex is probably super on edge thinking I’ll call him out any day now as part of some hashtag movement but I can’t cause I just feel miserable and cornered. I tried to be the perfect victim so hard and not tell anybody but it just blew up in my face.

>the fantasy of having a boyfriend who'd actually care and would want to provide a bit more.The fantasy just starts now. Now you can get out there and find a great boyfriend, although I wouldn't advise you to rush it. Take time to appreciate yourself. He'll come back crawling soon (I always give 2 weeks then 3 years, it's always been the golden ratio of my exes) so make sure to be prepared to turn him away.
All this time you've been wishing for something that is not happening. It's like you buying a green tank top and trying to dye it yourself and make it a blue sweater.
Also btw if he really wanted to get you a ring he'd have done it. If he was truly clueless but well meaning, he'd have asked one of your friend. All these things he could have done but didn't do, don't forget them when he comes back crying that he realized the errors of his way and "changed".

>>301013>>301025I am so sorry for what happened to you guys. I belueve there is no really raped, either you were or not. Seems like it happened to you.
You reminded me of how I was annoyed by a girl from my uni who felt compelled to make #metoo post on facebook about being catcalled or something. I know I should not be, but I found it really annoying and attention whorey. Maybe cause she posted it on fb where her random acquaintances (and not people browsing the tag or her followers) could see. The fact that it was such a minor case of experiencing sexual harassment made it more annoying too.
I know I should not feel like it, but in my eyes the post read like she wanted to get some free feminist cookies for being a victim too. The post was really self-centered. On the other hand, I do know the point of the movement is showcasing how common sexual abuse is, so I am probably a shitty person for wanting her to stfu or go rant somewhere else where I won't see it and it actually is relevant.

I'm 19 now and I still experience no sexual attraction at all. I never get turned on and the thought of sex is kinda gross to me. I guess I'm asexual and I've kinda accepted that I'm probably never going to be in a relationship because of it.
However, I wonder if I was "born" asexual or if me taking antidepressants since I was 14 fucked my libido up forever. I've stopped taking them for a year now but still experience no attraction or sexual desire at all.

I regret reporting my rape to my university so much. The guy who did it to me got off with a warning for entering the dorm building using someone else's keycard meanwhile I had to do alcohol counseling and was put on disciplinary probation (on my permanent transcript) because I was drunk when it happened and the university found a liquor bottle in my dorm. No one witnessed it happened therefore the university didn't believe me and they urged me not to involve the police (I was barely 18 and stupid and thought I had done something wrong). I had proof of text messages of me telling him to not come over because I was too drunk and to leave me alone, still he came in when I was passed out and my stupid fucking roommate let him in because he lied and told her I wanted him to come over (she left him alone with me and I woke up with his dick in my face).

I don't even necessarily dislike dogs all that much, but this shit is too much. If you dogfags were reasonable, you guys would just acknowledge that for the sake of these dogs, they shouldn't be taken everywhere. None of this shit is even remotely safe for them.
Human society is too unpredictable, people are loud, people are aggressive, and you can't ever manage your dog's reactions to how people will act, and you just can't manage if your dog gets scared for no reason, etc. Imo, you guys just must not care for your dogs if you're excusing bringing them places.

I think the mom's a negligent bitch. The husband of the couple who came late kind of got roped into being the kid herder while the mom sits her ass at the table and occasionally yells at her kid to stop being bad. She isn't friendly either, which just lowers my opinion.
Why don't people like this just hire a damn babysitter? Nobody wants a fucking toddler at a game night.
And isn't it kind of unfair to the kid who probably isn't having an insanely fun time either??? Hence why she's acting out and trying to get attention from folks?

I want to stop falling inlove, I hate these feelings. Why is loveydovey gay crap such temporary and short-lived happiness, then you get your heartbroken and its like a whole lifetime scar. I swear I’ll never ever love again.
No. 302888
>>302876Then it's not love and it's infatuation. It's obsession and hurts more when you're rejected. Pure love is happiness for the other person even if it's not with you.
Try to give yourself more realistic views of what relationships are and who the person is and what you two could bring to the table.

I feel like a really shitty person for this, but I think I'm starting to get kinda jealous of my boyfriend.
His career is starting to take off and he's getting a lot of recognition lately and I love it and I'm insanely proud of him because he's really good at what he does and he deserves everything & more, but I'm starting to feel kinda lost and insecure about where I am in life right now. We have different jobs but they're pretty similar and for him it was very hard to progress in his field while for me it was kinda settled since high school. Now he's doing really well and moving very fast while I've advanced very little.
The thing is if I really want to get further it takes a lot of hard work and I'm realizing it's not what I want to do with my life and don't have the energy or drive to try anymore. If I stay I'll always be depressed and tired.
But this is all I've known pretty much my entire life and I have no idea what else to do. I feel like with what I really love (music & fashion) the chances of making it are very slim, especially since I have pretty much no free time and my work schedule is all over the place, so if I really were to try I'd have to quit my job, but you can't really do anything without an income, and my city is crazy expensive. Plus if I were to quit at this point, I would never be able to get a respectable job in this field ever again, so I'd have to be 100% sure I'm done and have a plan B. College isn't an option since my school didn't really prepare me for it and I don't think there's anything that would interest me.
Basically my work right now is the only certain thing I have in my life, but already at 21 I feel like I'm done with it.
I'm not worried about my bf cheating or anything, we've been together for 7 years, since high school, and I completely trust him, I just don't want to end up just tagging along with him while he does all those amazing things and I'm doing nothing, I want us to be equals, if that makes sense. And most importantly I don't want to drag him down with my insecurities.
I haven't told him about it yet cause I have to sit and think about it a little more, but then we'll discuss it together.
oof end of vent

at all. I can tell how abusive and manipulative your ex was just by reafing those words.
It's not selfish to break up a relationship where he was emotionally blackmailing you, draining you, making you miserable, stressing you out. It's normal and healthy and the right thing to do.
I am proud of you and I hope you are happy from now on, and if you find a new partner, I hope he treats you right.

Nothing will scare me in Hereditary as the scene when the son wakes up in his room. Where a cheap horror movie would put a soundtrack or scare chord here, you yourself have to scan the background and find the thing to be afraid of, and that makes it much more effective imo.

I’m turning twenty soon and can’t help but feel like my life’s fading away and that I’ve wasted my time. I’m going back to finish up my studies at a uni I left a year ago under a new major. I felt super stressed under my first major and it was one reason out of many that led me to drop out in the first place. I won’t be starting over on a blank slate since I left with bad grades and will have to make them up.
Realistically, I’m aware that I still have time to develop a ton of skills and be a succssful adult… but I still feel like I’m behind and worthless. People my age around me have careers, skills, smarts whereas I don’t and just feel so inadequate. I wish there was a way for me to know for certain that I’ll be okay in the future, and could have a guidebook on exactly what steps I need to take to get there. I just feel so lost, delayed, and uneasy about what’s gonna happen to me.
>>301371>Do I stay friends with this guy I still want to be with?Sorry for the late response but my answer to you would be NO (for now). Break-ups are never easy regardless of the circumstances. Please do no-contact ASAP because time and distance are the most crucial factors in helping you move on from an ex (from personal experience). Trust me, you deserve more than to be left on standby.
Anyway, I hope you’ll be okay and am rooting for you to get out of this slump.

If so, that's disgusting of him.
No. 303207
>>303204yeah, i was raped when i lost my virginity but stayed with him because he basically tried to use it to humiliate me and only stopped when i dated him and i was going through serious stuff with my family who were abusive, and i guess i trauma bonded to him and at a certain point, lived w him, and i guess the sex became kind of consensual, but not really, tbh, because i wouldn't have done any of it had the rape not happened. my so was initially very understanding of the situation when i first met him 6 years ago, but i think i've hurt him so much because of all my trauma and terrible coping and just acting like an emotionally unstable fuckface, that now he just uses stuff like this against me and resents me for it.
i guess he's not so much jealous of the rape, but the fact that i had sex with him after and had a relationship with him after. i was only 16-17 and am 24 now and i still feel like i have to pay for stuff i didn't choose and even if i did 'choose' them, a 16 year old trying to escape an abusive family by dating her rapist isn't much of a choice.
i never really acted like these things bothered me as much as they did, especially to him, and i tried very hard when i first met my SO like 6 years ago, to be an insufferable 'cool girl' that was ok with sex and everything, so i think it really tainted the way he sees me and i think he thinks none of it really affected me, too. i also think he thinks i'm lying about it now because i lied about other things because he's so autismal that i felt like he'd hate me if i told him the truth.

>because i lied about other things because he's so autismal that i felt like he'd hate me if i told him the truth.Tell him the truth. Sit him down, tell him everything. Seriously, sometimes white lies are okay, but if he'd sperg out once he knew the real you, without everything you've built up to basically appeal to him, he is not right for you. You deserve a) therapy for what you went through and b) someone who loves you the way you are. You are still young, and even if you weren't, you don't have to stay.

>>303210thank you for your advice, anon, you're very sweet.
>HE DOES NOT GET TO POLICE YOUR COPING WITH THAT.i know, but my only issue is that i've treated him so terribly because of the way i've been abused that i can understand now why he's being like this. he has always been jealous, but because i was cheated on by my rapist ex and grew up with my father whose life literally revolved around cheating and abusing women, including myself, that's all i saw from day 1, on top of the way women are treated as so disposable, i was constantly suspicious and paranoid and tried to make him jealous and paranoid like me, especially bc he'd try to get me emotionally attached, and when we dated years later, i did start to emotionally abuse him, too.
my terrible coping has affected him, and i treated him worse than other guys that i didn't even like because i knew other guys were just flirting with me to flirt and were just pieces of shit looking to score, whereas my SO, (who was just my friend at the time) was trying to get me to commit and move in with him, marry him, etc, at like, 18, and i felt like he was just fucking with my feelings to lead me on when he knew i was vulnerable and was still being abused by my family during that time, so i kind of resented him for trying to get me to risk my safety and put all of my effort and hope into some half-baked fantasy when he wouldn't even be there for me at the end of the day, and i just didn't treat him well as a result, so he's jealous that i treated other shittier guys better.
>Seriously, sometimes white lies are okay, but if he'd sperg out once he knew the real you, without everything you've built up to basically appeal to him, he is not right for you. You deserve a) therapy for what you went through and b) someone who loves you the way you are. You are still young, and even if you weren't, you don't have to stay.it's more the opposite. he didn't really like who i was just being because i thought it'd appeal to men, but now he refuses to believe that i'm not that person because he has read my interactions with other men. like, his whole impression of me is fucked and he refuses to believe me even though i've tried for years now to show him who i really am.
you're right though. i don't think there's anything i can say to him. he just accuses me of lying about everything and doesn't listen to me, tries to catch me in lies, has no faith in me, etc. he gets angry at me and storms off when he thinks he has caught me in a lie, even if it's an accident or just me misremembering, etc. i'm sure he's going to leave me soon anyways. i'm keeping my distance mostly because i don't think there's anything i can do at this point. thank you again for your advice, anon.
>>303216yeah, i was. i hadn't been in a relationship since the rapist because of it and had 0 plans to be with anyone aside from flirting with guys i didn't even like. my SO begged me for years to date him and marry him despite me telling him repeatedly that i wasn't ready, now he thinks i'm terrible and manipulative, etc for having been a shitty mess. i'm not going to be with anyone after this and honestly have no interest in it.

But all these things happened 6 years in the past, no? It's not ideal, it's not great that you treated him like this, but 6 years is a long time to rebuild trust. If there is no trust in a relatioship, what is there really?
Are you living together? How long do you need to get everything ready for seperation? Better work on it now, you don't want to have to return to your parents.
Once everything is ready and you really want to do it, make a clean cut. Sit him down, break up with him properly, and remove yourself from his life. First so he knows it's over, and second so you won't get roped back into it, because you don't seem to be right for each other. You deserve someone who trusts you, and he deserves someone he feels he can trust. I'm sure it's very exhausting for him as well, even though it's idiotic.

I’ve been having really bad invasive thoughts about my childhood SA almost daily for the last year, and it’s at its worst whenever I have sex with my partner, making it pretty impossible for me to orgasm…or even want to be touched anymore.
Sometimes I feel like I want to but then once it’s happening I just can’t get out of my head.
I know I need to see a therapist soon but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to say the words out loud. I’ve never even written them before this.
I know this will sound wildly fucked up but I almost wish my abuser had been a man.
I feel like if people knew my abuser was a woman they’d think that’s the reason I’m gay or some shit like that, and I’ve even wondered to myself what if it is?
Like it seems pretty common for young boys who are SA’d by men to turn out gay, or have gay tendencies. Or even pedophelic ones.
I feel like I can never tell my girlfriend either or else that’s all she’ll be able to think about while we’re having sex, too….
I feel like I won’t be able to admit it to anyone or talk about it until my grandmother dies, I don’t ever want to have to face the confrontation. My family cut her off years ago anyway for other reasons (psycho narcisssist, to a t), but I’m still afraid they’d all look at me differently.
I just turned 25 so I don’t know why now would be the time for repressed memories to crop up for me, I’m going to google it after this actually to see if it’s common…they say this is about the time you stop developing, maybe the two coincide…
Sometimes I just don’t even know if what I experienced is really considered SA or not either…
Consider this a trigger warning and I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense, but basically my grandmother hated my mom and my stepdad and consistently called dcf on her for years, eventually they patched things up and I’d spend the night over there sometimes, but then on one occasion she
I really can’t even type it and I guess I shouldn’t anyway but she basically tried to make it seem like my stepdad had been molesting me and said she “found marks” when she was applying rash cream to me but in reality she’d done it to me with her nails.
Mind you I was like 4 and not in diapers or anything anymore so anyone doing anything down there was completely unnecessary.
Her end goal was to receive sole custody of me, which obviously didn’t end up happening…she just caused suffering which was good enough I guess.
My head feels so foggy right now even thinking about it. I don’t even want to post this because I can’t explain properly and I just want to keep asking if anyone else experiences these feelings
And how the fuck to make them stop
I don’t need closure or an apology from her or justice or anything like that, I just want to be able to have a normal intimate life without feeling like I’m being clawed up inside by her disgusting nails and having it randomly pop into my head
It was only one incident 20 years ago and it never effected me before this I just can’t make any fucking sense of it
It feels unfair and stupid and Ive even tried to tell myself my mind made it up
I would do anything for a mindwipe
Xanax helped for many months but when I stopped taking it that’s when all of my repressed issues came forth 10 fold…
I don’t know…thanks if you’ve read this… I’m sorry for adding detail, I feel like it’s cringey and a faux pas when recounting past trauma and I also feel like nobody else should have to deal with the imagery of my own issues but I just really needed to write it somewhere and this is anonymous and maybe someone will know what I mean or have some sort of insight to deal with this I don’t know
No. 303439
>>303229Hey anon, I was also SA'd by a fellow female when I was a child. She was only a bit older than me, not an adult like your situation, but it was still traumatizing nonetheless. I can relate in the way the issues came back to haunt me only when I was well into adulthood. I can't experience sexual activities without my senses going crazy or being in an immense amount of pain.
I haven't figured out how to really deal with everything yet but I just wanted to let you know that you are very valid and no amount of time nor your attackers gender/family ties negates what you went through back then. You're not alone and I'm so sorry that happened to you.
Have you ever tried to talk to a therapist about this? I was against therapy myself until a couple years ago and even though it was very tough to start, I found that a huge weight was lifted off after I just got everything out. It didn't make it all better of course but I think it was a good first step. I'm still struggling but I feel getting that initial load off to someone that I knew had to keep my info confidential was important to personal self growth.

I don’t know how much more I can take. I’ve got a full time job, pay my rent and bills, and after that, I can’t afford anything else. I can’t buy makeup, clothes, hair care, home decor, even groceries. I’ve actually lost weight because most days I’ve got an empty fridge and can’t afford to eat anything. I’ve got a number of spiraling health issues that I’d love to see a doctor about but no health insurance and frankly no money to pay for anything if I was prescribed it. Honestly, for the first time in my life, I don’t want to die, but I don’t think I can actually afford to live. I want to believe better days will come but I’ve been in this hole for years and don’t see any way to make more money or better my situation. I want a nice house and to look put together at least, but as it is I have absolutely nothing to show for the work I put into being an adult and taking care of myself. Im getting old and most of my friends are married and have houses their parents paid for and kids and sit in their asses all day watching the Kardashian’s. It makes me so bitter and miserable that I’ve never and probably will never be above the poverty line.

Trapped in my debt.
Trapped in my job.
I'm just lucky I get paid vacation so for four weeks a year I can at least break routine by not going to work, but still too broke to do anything much interesting with the time.
I'm an absolute automaton for it.
Like I'm trying my best to apply for better jobs and whatnot but I'm finding out it doesn't happen overnight.
I have hurt feelings towards my friends whose boyfriends or husbands pay their way yet they still whine about not having as much money as they want or are bored because they sit at home all day. I can't even imagine what I'd do with that kind of spare time and even if I had an extra $100 a week to blow.
I want to scream. I don't want to die but I know I am just a cog working to make someone else rich at my expense. Meanwhile others get shit handed to them just because.

>>301013You certainly aren't alone. Deep down I truly believe I was raped because the man who assaulted me knew full well I wanted to save my virginity for marriage (…I was young and raised Christian. I don't have the same values now but it really fucked me up at the time) but forced himself on me anyway. However I feel like unless you were raped in a super violent way people think you're lying or exaggerating so I too try to be the "perfect victim" and not bring it up unless a situation absolutely warrants it. Seeing all this metoo stuff feels like a slap in the face, even though I know that's not the intention.
Only people close to me know what went down with my assault. I was at my job one day and my (older, male) boss was talking with a customer about false rape allegations and he grabbed me by the shoulders and showed me off saying "See, Anon isn't like the other girls!!" and I know he meant it as I'm not a super vocal feminist but I just wanted to die in that moment. If by other girls you mean women who have been assaulted but not in the super cut-n-dry way then yes, I'm just like them.

I found these texts five months ago and somehow convinced myself I needed to stay in love with this man. He drug my name through the dirt to his friends/family and blamed my depression for his infidelity. I casually checked his phone after finding it in a weird place, I called his mother who told me I must've done something wrong, he cried when I asked why he would do this to me. I attempted suicide and was held on involuntary inpatient for three days. Since then I have made tremendous improvement with new medication, a therapist who actually gives a shit, a job I don't despise, and have lost weight.
I don't make as much money as him but I'm the only one who cleans the house. He spends his nights on Xbox playing with his friends while I sit alone. We sleep on separate couches and not the same bed. We both depend on my car for transportation. I want to get out but I don't know how. I thought I needed him but I can't fucking stand him anymore.

Nothing can compare to the joy of creating something or doing something that you truly love.
People that say things like that just discourage you because they themselves didn't pursue their dreams, so they don't believe that it's possible to achieve them.
As corny as it sounds, do follow your heart. I constantly had that nagging feeling deep down but I kept trying to brush it off as a whim.
At least we can say that we don't have regrets or that we didn't try and persevere.

I hate college. Everyday I go to class and feel so uninterested in what I’m learning. I used to enjoy learning but now I don’t care at all. I feel like I wasn’t ready to decide what I wanted to do with my life when I got out of high school, and because everyone acts like community college is a joke I chose a 4 year college without really thinking about it. Now I’m stuck at a school in a major I don’t want to be in. I’m also in my third year so I feel pressured to stay where I am although I’m unhappy. Does anyone else feel this way? Have any anons here dropped out or took time off? Did you wait for the semester to be over? All of my friends are doing well in school and having fun, so I feel alone in my situation.

I checked another con that used to take place in my city but got moved to a bigger one, and since it's a yaoi con I don't think I'll go anymore. The guests and con goers are fakebois, enbies teenage girls or "transmen(he/him)" who look like butch lesbians at the very best.

>>304181Anon I was in a similar situation. I transferred after my freshman year and thought that would help but I still hated my new school, didn't give a fuck about classes at all and like you I used to love learning. So I took a year off after sophomore year and focused a lot on my mental health (idk if that's an issue for you, but I had been struggling with completely untreated anxiety and depression for almost all of my life and it kind of came to a head). It was really hard for me to take time off and live with my parents, I hate admitting "failure." Now I am back at school. I attend a significantly less prestigious school than the one I was at before but I am doing really well, have an internship and close relationships with many of the professors in my department. If you have the option to take time off, absolutely do it. It was really hard for me to decide to do but best decision I made.
In your situation, it might be beneficial to take just a semester off. You mentioned you're in your third year; to be honest I hated college up until this semester (my second to last) when I got closer relationships with my professors and started discussing career options. Before that I thought I hated my major but it turned out I just hated the classes I was taking for my major, there aren't really any specific concentrations here unfortunately. Tbh I wouldn't recommend changing your major altogether unless you can finish a different one without committing too much time (unless of course you're willing to do so), keep in mind your major will not completely limit you to what careers you can pursue. There is also always graduate school if you're willing and able to attend.
Sorry for the rambling mess haha, but TLDR take time off of school if you need it!

Today I was scheduled for some bullshit sales training at 1pm when my shift is always at 3pm. For no good reason whatsoever, our schedules are posted in military time so 1=1300 and 3=1500. It must've been I glanced over my schedule and saw the '3' and my brain just presumed business as usual. I've worked here for three years and schedule deviations for training are rare, so a lot of people are on autopilot including me.
I didn't realize my mistake until 2pm when I got into my car. I got to the office 45 minutes early hoping that the simple solution would be to take the training code off and revert to my normal shift, since I was more than on time for my actual shift. Reschedule the training to one of the numerous class slots left, and lesson learned, right?
Wrong. When workforce management finally scrounged up a supervisor on duty (he actually had to go to the floor and search for this bitch since she wasn't answering her pager for 30 minutes), she tells me "no."
Why?
"It wouldn't be fair to a person who missed their training at 9am to make an exception for you. We can take the training code off, but you get a report late point and you finish the shift as it was scheduled today."
I told her how that was not flexible and made no sense.
"Sorry it's contract."
So there's a little magical contract elf who breaks peoples' fingers for coding the shifts.
I almost let this woman cuck me into working after getting slapped on the wrist, but after I made it halfway to the floor I turned back and just told workforce to code an absence for a full point for the day and I left.
The kicker is that this training is for sales, despite me already being a top earner and having sales experience from previous jobs. I don't need a dumbshit vendor teaching me how to ask for a sale.
Last month, my shitty upstairs neighbors flooded my apartment so badly that firemen were called. I was out two days due to the cleanup damage and being unable to sleep due to industrial fans blowing in the place trying to dry out the water. My stuff was ruined and it was a lot of mental stress. The supervisor managed to show the higher ups the pictures of the damage and so graciously informed me that instead of two separate absence points, they were consolidating them to one, "for my trouble." Gee, I feel so human. Thank you my generous overlords for showing mercy but still giving me a good smack for something out of my control.
I might have been even more mentally off this week because I broke up with my long-term boyfriend and I've been packing my shit to move out this Saturday. Which will make my commute to this shitty job an hour instead of 15 minutes.
I gotta quit.
I'm tired of having to constantly make 'exceptions' to my time like being forced to work mandatory overtime when the company requires (or else), yet they're unwilling to accommodate for emergencies and simple mistakes when I come knocking at their door.
No wonder so many employees are going postal and killing people at their jobs. After this foolery I can see why people are going insane over these hitler-tier rules and shit pay.

I'm sick of my mom yelling at me and calling me names all the time for little insignificant shit or her twisting around a story I'm telling her and blaming me for something I said/did in the story. It's been like this since I was 5 and she always harrassed me even as a child, calling me all sorts of inappropriate horrible things at a young age and telling me she wishes I was never born and calling me a mistake.
I bought a sweater for myself for this winter and as soon as she came home from work, her first reaction was to call me a stupid asshole for "spending thousands", which I don't mind you, it was just one fucking sweater. I'm in my 20s now, have my own job and always save my money and nearly never spend it. Why does it matter how I spend my money anyway when I'm the one working hard for it busting my ass at work? It doesn't even matter what it's about, she will just continue to berate me and blame me for her problems and that fucking hurts because out of all the people in the world, you'd think my mum would support and love me but she clearly doesn't.

It's broken down better on the test itself, it doesn't say "White" just says Central European, British Isles, etc. I just simplified that to being white. The Italian/Greek seems to possibly encapsulate parts of N. Africa and Turkey as well. I know that modern Italian/Greeks are white just didn't know if having older heritage from there (no one in my immediate family is from the area) indicated Northern African or Turkish (which may be considered white, sorry I'm clueless) heritage, sorry to be confusing/oversimplify

>>304495Forget it unless you're a highly sought after specialist/have Swiss ancestry or a SO there. Especially so if you don't speak any local language fluently.
I'm an EU citizen, and the immigration process is much easier for us, but still a bitch. For non-EU, it's a complete nightmare (you would have to have an employer and a contract before you can even come, for instance). And it seems like the Swiss loathe any foreigners: I'm white, they usually assume I'm Swiss until we talk/they see my name and their attitude instantly changes. Rent ads do not shy away from writing "Swiss only", neither do job contracts. The only Swiss "friend" I managed to make at uni cut contact with me when I got better results than him because "I shouldn't have been allowed in first place".
I would like to go back to my home country, but it's poorer and I feel some sort of shame about considering that, because everyone believes Switzerland is heaven on earth. It does have a wonderful legal system and nature, but the Swiss are extremely xenophobic.

>>304418I have similar feelings. I was raped and restrained/knocked around about a month ago by a stranger and it was an awful experience of course, I cried and screamed, dealing with the police after was horrible, not being able to shower, having to go back to the scene of the crime, recount it, etc. I still have little flashbacks and paranoia, cry every now and then. But I’m more or less fine. I still go out and do things, drink, laugh, enjoy life for the most part, even like a couple days after it happened. Sometimes I wonder if I should like fake being more upset or traumatized by it, so people don’t think I’m lying about being raped because I’m too ”okay”

>>304496>>304497I can confirm this.
I'm from the Balkans and I had several friends with uni (STEM) degrees wanting to do their PhD or were even invited by a pharma/lab research there.
And all of them had troubles getting even a place to rent. My friend had to use her boyfriend's surname (he's Belgian though) to even get an interview with the landlord/landlady.
And all of my friends are white(inb4 slavs are not white), light hair, blue eyes etc. but they were all bitter and moved to places like UK or Germany for career advancement as soon as they saw an opportunity.
I get that people are wary of foreigners but at one point the person's achievements and skills should matter more.
They didn't tell me everything but from the little I heard, it sounded terrible, and Swiss people sound like obnoxious people.
I was actually surprised that it was that bad.
No. 304562
>>304533Yep, I'm surprised people don't talk about it more. For some reason people instead shit on the French for being "mean" to foreigners but my mom and I immigrated here when I was 5 (also from the Balkans) and people have been nothing but kind even though my mom spoke very limited French back then (and I knew none). Here nobody gives a fuck who you are as long as you follow the rules, which is fine by me. I never felt different from the others.
My family visited Zurich (and later that year also several cities in Germany) in 2012 and both the Swiss and German airport workers treated my mom like a dog as soon as they saw her surname. It was really creepy to see someone's attitude do a complete 180 in a second like that, but it's not my first time seeing it either. Funny thing is, in all of the "bad" countries we visited as tourists (pretty much all of Eastern Europe including Hungary, Turkey, Jordan, Morocco, South Africa) everyone was really nice to us (except Austrians, but even that was only one area and the rest of our stay was fine).
No. 304563
>>304497>>304533>>304562Well I'm not from the Balkans and people can't identify my origin when they look at my surname, noe can they guess my accent (I live in the French part and the guess is German 99% of the time) but that doesn't stop them. When my old flat burned down in summer, I went through absolute hell to get a new place and I'm glad I found anything because being homeless was very real.
So is it worth to just abandon Switzerland on account of how obnoxious and xenophobic people are and go back home for a poorer but more reasonable experience? I hate Switzerland but the little greedy voice in my head is telling me I'll be missing out if I leave.

>>304484Holy shit anon, are you me? I'm also a foreigner in Switzerland doing law, and I understand exactly everything you're feeling right now. I'm also scared about being unemployable in other countries and having to be stuck here, and even worse, being unemployable in Switzerland because I don't speak German. It sucks because law is my dream.
I've lived in the italian part most of my childhood and even though I'm indistinguishable from them (and look white, and have a german name) I was never accepted either. I recently moved to the French part for university and it's scary seeing the swiss-italians who discriminated me in turn get discriminated by the swiss-french. They absolutely hate them and refuse to talk to them. It's the first time in my life I've made friends with a swiss-italian because they're so shunned I guess even someone like me is "good enough" now, because I speak their language.
This is all making me seriously reconsider if I want to stay in this country, and I haven't even lived the worst of the xenophobia to come yet with getting a job/a flat/etc. I wouldn't recommend to anyone to move here, being someone originally from a "friendly" country, it's very sad seeing how insular and alone swiss people are and how much they hate not only everyone else, but each other.

i became friends with someone online last year and she has to deal with emotional and verbal abuse + threats of physical abuse from her parents. She talks a lot about suicide and I’m trying my best to help her through it and support her because I’ve been through something similar and recovered but I’m always afraid it’s not going to be enough. I sent her resources local and online and advice to seek help from people who can actually help her situation too, but I don’t know if any of my words get through to her
I’m worried I’ll wake up one day or log on and I’ll see a suicide note four hours too late
I wish I could do something more but I don’t even know where she lives! Not even her real full name or city or school. I’m only a few years older than her but I live literally halfway across the world, and I don’t want to make things worse for her by somehow tipping off the police from another state and having her parents do something to her
I get so concerned about her wellbeing that it distracts me in my uni classes but I don’t know who else I could talk to because they don’t seem to care at all. I’m terrified I won’t be enough to help her. I know I’m not responsible for others lives and decisions, but I can’t help but worry constantly that I’m going to wake up and find out that she’s dead. I have a bunch of issues from coping in a shitty way growing up, and I hope so badly she’ll make it. The worst thing is that sometimes I think maybe it would be better for me to just disappear and try to forget about everyone just to avoid this crippling anxiety, but that’s such a selfish thought and it makes me feel like a terrible person. I don’t know what else I can do. I don’t know if what I’m doing to try to help her will ever be enough, and I don’t even know if my words will mean anything to her. If something does happen, I know I’m just going to blame myself for not doing enough, even though I’ve done everything I can possibly do without risking her safety and with the small amount of info I do have of her… I don’t even know if she trusts me anymore because I said I would be willing to call emergency services/CPS for her once and she panicked. I’m sorry if it sounds like I’m just making this about me. I’m so worried about her all the time, and I’m not entirely sure if that’s healthy. It feels like we only truly reach out to each other when she feels suicidal. Sometimes it feels like I’m just a personal therapist, but maybe I brought that on myself.
I feel terrible. I wish things would work out so easily. I don’t know if I’m a terrible person for writing this. It feels like I can’t take care of myself because every time I do something seems to go wrong

You said you like how you look on the mirror - do you know that a picture is a mirrored image of yourself so it's natural that it looks wrong (And usually worse) to you? You do NOT need to discard your reflection, the pretty things you see in there are what people see when they look at you also.
I know exactly how it feels to hate your physical appearance. I'm 24 and when I was 19 - 22 I went through a dark self hatred period. My face, my body, even my voice I would critique and insult internally allll the time. All I can say is that I have become more and more comfortable with my appearance with age. The longer you live your life the more you come to terms with thing you can't change, and that frees you to focus on what you like about yourself.

>>305037Anon honestly you need to get your shit together and stop worrying so much. First, your self worth does not amount to your appearance. You've got much more to show for personality-wise, and if you don't, then work on that. Get a hobby, do something you like, talk about hings you like, refine your tastes, read books idk. Go ahead and write that bomb ass book.
A lot of girls, me included, grow up thinking all they're worth for is their looks, which isn't true and is, in the end, a harmful mindset that only hurts you.
I know how it feels to think nobody will ever look at you because you're not model-tier, i know, but this is also a lie you conditioned yourself to. First of all, almost nobody looks model tier. Secondly, the prettiest models are ugly as shit to some people, because beauty is subjective and it's okay. 95% of the world have average looks and lead on their lives just fine.
Also, don't believe incels and their lookism or whatever. Attractiveness is actually very easy to archieve: Take care of yourself, have good hygiene, dress properly (but comfortably) and have and attractive personality. This is enough. People do get crushes on average people a lot more than you think, it's how you present yourself that counts.
Again, remember that your self worth is not your looks. While it's important to take care of yourself, never equate your self esteem to how nice you look. Sometimes you're gonna be a goblin couch potato and you'll still be as worthy as when you're all dolled up.
(Just a final thing,
>>305064 is right. Cameras and lights distort your image and looking in a mirror is a more accurate way of knowing how you look. Pretty people also look ugly in badly timed or angled pictures. If you want good selfies learn your angles and practice them.)

I can still go to work and other functions just fine but when I get home, I decide to have a beer. One beer turns into 2. And 2 turns into four. And so forth. I think I used to hate my life a lot and drinking would numb the pain.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any resources on me but I would suggest taking one day at a time. Don’t make some grandiose plan on how you’re gonna quit or cut back on drink.

Plus this guy from middle school who tried to get in touch once a long time ago (and I ignored him kek) is a customer there so I might meet him eventually. Just thinking about it gets me feeling stressed. On the other hand, I've had a real panic episode before, and that was a primal, deathly fear. This is nothing compared to that, so I'm ok. I'm well enough I can function somewhat, just awkwardly. So I'm fine and it will be a good way to practice my social skills in a low stake situation, am just frustrated my body wants to dope me up with adrenaline instead of helping me learn charisma and shit.

Imo this is the best attitude you can have Anon. Do your best for yourself, but if you like the guy, give it a go. Also, keep in mind that other peoples' standards aren't objective measures of your worth either. Sometimes people who totally match each other's criteria just don't have that emotional click, and sometimes people who are totally different get on like a house on fire. So don't think of it like trying to measure up to the guy or other women, bcz that can be stressful, instead just see if you both get on well, like each other and want something more. It's not a competition, it's a recreational activity lol. So if it works out, great! And if it doesn't, no problem, cause there's a better match out there for you. Don't put guys on a pedestal.

I've been living with my grandmother since early this year due to health issues she's been having, and I can't help but feel stuck in a rut between it and the rest of my life. I want to be out on my own so I can adjust to living a normal adult life, but I don't want to leave her alone despite her telling me multiple times that I don't need to stay with her. I'm terrified that if I do move back out, she'll have an incident that sends her to the hospital or worse, but at the same time her condition has gotten worse while I've been here and I worry that she doesn't have much longer here.
It doesn't help that I feel to blame for part of the stress she deals with. Part of it comes from her constantly being in pain here recently, and we believe that pain came from a fall she took while at an event we went to because I suggested it. I thought she did well following it, she didn't need to go to the hospital at the time, but now that this pain has gotten as bad as it has, she can't get around like she used to and I don't want to leave her alone unless I know someone is here to keep her company and help her around. She hates being under the weather, she doesn't want to go to anymore appointments as she thinks they won't solve anything, and I feel so helpless as I'm limited in what I can do.
And the stress of this clashes with my job, which I've had for nearly 4 years now. As good as it pays for being food service, I get tired of dealing with the same shitty customers, same crappy procedures we have to do, and then every week there's someone bitching about what another employee has done or hasn't done or what should be done. My family wants me to get a better job, but I don't think I have a good enough resume to nab a better position and don't want to add more stress to what is already driving me up a wall.

Because no, I don't believe for an instant coworkers would start being shitty towards you or care about what you eat unless you started some shit. And the fact that you think they're all gossiping whores adds to that.

>>304851I mustered up the guts to tell my friend I’m taking a break from the chat messenger because it’s affecting me at school and my health. I think I’m literally worrying myself sick, and I’m so tired of feeling like this all the time. My friends tell me I’m doing the right thing by taking a break if I can’t handle it, but I’m still so terrified that I’ll wake up and find out she’s dead because I haven’t talked to her or something. I gave her my other contact info in case she wanted to reach me outside of that messenger app, but she hasn’t and I don’t know if she will. I keep relogging in and checking on messages and I think she’s having a bad day, and I’m so so scared I’m gonna let my guard down and relax and stop being so anxious for a week and then come back to news that she’s committed suicide, and that I played a part in it because I didn’t talk to her enough or something (which sounds to me really illogical but I can’t stop worrying about it)
I just want my brain to chill. I can’t take this. I’m seeing my therapist on Tuesday, but my thoughts are constantly paranoid that something will happen. I wish I wasn’t like this. I’m trying to listen to logic and the reasoning that I truly can’t control other people’s actions and that I’m not responsible for them, but my mind is so fixated on this one possibility that it’s impossible for me to let go. There’s always the thought that I should do something more, but I really don’t know what else I can do to help, especially when she’s not reaching out for help… I’m sick of listening to myself and I’m sick of being like this lmao

As for the misdemeanors… depends what it is, but most guys are risk taking retards who break laws.

>>305928>most guys are risk taking retards who break lawsMisdemeanors still cover a lot of antisocial behavior which I wouldn’t say is normal. Plus, they’re on someone’s record for life unless they get a good lawyer to expunge them. I think any guy with any sense of responsibility is going to try avoid that. Getting one misdemeanor may be forgivable depending on the circumstance and if the guy learned his lesson but a record of multiple misdemeanors tends to be indicative of something seriously wrong such as a pathologically impulsive and self-destructive personality.
You’re right though that labeling the behavior as love bombing is a bit of a stretch. Guys will do whatever it takes to get laid like you said.

>>305971I was in a very similar situation last year before ending my relationship on new years. I lost all feeling and felt apathetic toward him despite him still having feelings.
It’s easier said than done, but just end it. If you’ve already acknowledged that the relationship is inevitably dying and that both of your romantic feelings for eachother are nullifying, then the relationship will inescapably end up dead in the future so it’s better to just get it over with.
You might think you made a huge mistake at first and idealize all the good times you’ve had, but, after time has passed and you’re able to look at the relationship objectively in retrospect, you’ll feel freed and realize it was for the best. That was my experience, at least.
>he's literally my only link to the outside world because I have no friends and live away from my family. I relate to this so much. I still have no irl friends and am extremely isolated.

Having a parent who is something of a celebrity (not anyone people here would know, but important in my country) makes me realize how much bullshit gets slung around by the masses. People talk about shit they know absolutely nothing about with a weird confidence that makes other, unknowing people believe them.
Stop falling for stupid "blind items". I know they're juicy, but 80% of the time, they're written by ex-friends and jilted lovers or family members with an axe to grind (which is why sometimes they have elements of truth mixed in), or just complete losers who should keep their stories on fanfiction.net where they belong. I found a few posts in a thread (on another site) about one of my parents, and I wanted to correct them because they were talking nonsense, but I couldn't. The posts were already months old. Plus, I knew jumping in with inside knowledge would essentially be doxxing myself, and it'd only bring more negative attention. It's frustrating.

Feeling very frustrated about my low self esteem. I have been flirting with a new guy at work but my teen years as an ugly duckling mean that instead of being able to enjoy flirting, I am just projecting into the future where if I managed to somehow get into a romantic situation with the dude despite my face, he would be disgusted and ghost me if it became sexual because of my body.
I don't enjoy sex,etc because I have always felt like my body was designed to be as sexually repulsive as is possible and so I'm not meant to do it. In every sexual experience I've had, I have felt like I was playing a role and even if I have enjoyed it at the time, I feel disgusting afterwards because I'm embarrassed that I had the audacity to do it. Since I was much younger, I have thought about how much uglier I look when I'm smiling and how maybe that means that I'm not meant to be happy.
My life in general is actually going pretty well, and it's so frustrating that the way I feel about my appearance can't follow that. I hate how shallow I am and can't help but feel that all the strides I make in my career are really just attempts to make up for not being pretty enough. I can honestly say I would trade my dream job, which I have, for being attractive, so now even the fact that I've had some success doesn't feel how it should.
I really just want to accept myself and get rid of the bitterness I have towards more attractive women, and be able to have good relationships and maybe even enjoy sex! But I feel like my chubby teenage insecurity is haunting me and I can't get rid of it.

I'm starting to realize that my family is lowkey abusive.
I'm currently 27. I still live at home. I have social anxiety and depression, which makes me unable to form strong bonds with others, so in the past, I've depended on them for support. Now I know that deep down my family loves and cares about me but they can be off at times, to say at least. Especially when we get into arguments.
I came home from work today. I was pretty tired because I've been working a lot recently. Aunt asks me to take out the bins to the curb. I say sure but give me a minute because I need to go to the bathroom. Mom suddenly gets furious and storms out of the house to pull the bins herself. Apparently, I had an "attitude" (I did not). Then a shouting match between my mom and I occurs. I tell her that she had no right to act like that. She then accuses me of not doing anything around the house (Not true. Occasionally, I can be absent minded but I try to help out when I can and I don't mind being asked to do stuff). I tried talking to my aunt about and she said that I did have a bit of an attitude (Again, bullshit). Of fucking course she takes my mom side, even though my mom was acting like a crazy person.
I feel pathetic for still living at home. The few times that I attempted to move out, they ended up "convincing" me to come back home, which I did. My aunt makes bitchy comments that I can't live on my own from time to time even though I'm almost 30. I may not be the most mature 27 year old but I'm definitely not the most immature either.
Whenever we get into an argument, 98% of the time me vs. them. They always back each other up even when one of them acted like a complete jackass. I'm always the bad guy, no matter what. That's another thing, they love to bring up my flaws and how I fuck up a lot. Particularly my aunt (Even though my mom is a psycho bitch, she at least doesn't mind telling me that she's proud of me when she's in a good mood. So that's something at least).
I feel like a fucking loser. I wasted my 20s clinging onto to people who don't treat me well as they should because I was so scared of other people. I want to be independent but I'm so scared that everything is gonna fall apart and I'll be crawling back to them again. Even if they aren't truly abusive, I don't think it's healthy to be around them all the time and to depend on them. I feel like it's kinda stunted me in a way. I don't know what to do, honestly.
No. 307398
>>307362That's not "lowkey" abusive, that's completely normal. Your example about the trash thing sounds exactly the same like my sister and mom sometimes have. My mom asks her to do something and she says "in a second". Of course that's bound to piss her or your parents as well off. Only difference is you're in your late 20s, not 13…
Your aunt probably simply no longer want you to live at home, which is also kind of understandable. Maybe it's the same for your mom as well and she simply doesn't want to outright tell you and that's why she's so tense.
No. 307403
>>307362When I read your post, I thought it was something I wrote a year ago and forgot about it.
I had the exact same situation just without an aunt. I was basically walking on eggshells in order to not anger anyone. I would pay the rent and gave a bit for groceries and with my every attempt to move out, my parents would also convince me to stay. But then, on a weekly basis, something would
trigger my mother and she would start a fight.
She was looking for arguments despite being the most vocal against me moving. It could have been anything and most of the time, it was something done by someone else or even her.
I had enough, moved out and never looked back. Once you move out, it won't matter how old you were when you moved out, and in today's economy and depending on your country, it's not strange for young adults to still live with their parents.
I would call it sort of abuse. My parents, my mother in particular, knew I had social anxiety and kind of encouraged that. Then she would find the tiniest reason to threaten with throwing me out and so on. When things were good, they were great, but when she got in her foul mood, it was hell broke loose. It was extremely stressful and it made things worse for me and had a negative impact on my self-worth.
I'd advise you to move out but don't rush. Give yourself a few months to plan, manage your finances so that you won't have to ask your family for a thing or even worse, to move back in. Avoid making quick decisions but it's obvious that you can't keep living with someone that will stress you for trivial stuff. Especially with work, you ought to relax after spending all day somewhere else, and not have someone nag you to death.

>>307561I agree with all of this. Loving animals more than people is a big meme but I feel like that often.
Although I would like a life partner (evidently) and I love my close friends, humans as a group are awful. We just ruin everything including each other. I hate hearing about the amount of infanticide, child abuse, and rape in the world but I also don't want to bury my head in the sand.

You need to look at yourself and want to improve. Be reflective of who you are and your traits - what's good? bad etc? what do you desire in life?
And I was only an asshole because what you said makes me feel like you are
probably a toxic person. People who hate humans are usually self-important and project their negative attitude/heart. There are SO many people who are help that are struggling to save the environment, animals and their fellow human. And they're worth despising? Yes, humankind has many flaws and we are hurting the planet so badly. But we can also be kind and loving.

And you're right, it is worth fighting to be one of the good people when so many are bad.
I also was honest in that I hold nothing against the guy, even if it came across as snarky and incel tier. I know I don't
deserve anyone and his choice was definitely best for him. Even if I had a lot more to offer than possible money, he's a person with free will. All men are, I'm not owed a boyfriend.

I don't know if I should vent here because I'm going to talk about weeb shit but I was looking forward to the French edition of My lesbian experience with loneliness, which is pretty much an autobiography. I haven't read the scans yet. What I just saw is that:
>the first volume costs 18€ instead of the usual more or less 7€ so you'd expect some high quality but,
>the pages are reversed, the book is meant to be read the Occidental way so the art might be fucked up compared to the original
>the cover art is also mirrored
>the editors are exclusively calling it a graphic novel instead of a manga because the term manga still triggers some middle aged people who don't even care about them and the editors want to pander to pretentious assholes who think Jiro Taniguchi doesn't make manga but "bandes dessinées japonaises~~"
>the title is now a shitty pun about gender "solitude d'un autre genre" because the editors wanted to publish something related to the lgbTTTTTTTT so now people who don't know shit about manga will think it's not a filthy manga but a """Japanese graphic novel""" about transsexualism, as if that shit wasn't already shoved down our throats enough

Any way to deal with social anxiety?
I had that moment dwo days ago, where I was standing first in queue and then two teens went next to me and right after the woman that was buying.
Ofc I didn't say anything but looking at cashier, who was the one to say I was there first.
Even if I go eat alone outdoors, I feel anxious whenever there are too many people around me, like in my mind these groups of people may be thinking I am odd (?).
I am still thinking I am not good enough whenever I wear make-up, cute clothes, etc. That these people around me look and act much cooler and whenever I will interact with them, they will look down at me.

>>307807Alright you sound really easy to push around which is not a good trait for someone participating in an alt sexual lifestyle. Polyamory should be treated like normal dating to an extent. Otherwise we end up with situations like this. In hindsight you should’ve gone out with her more one on one before agreeing to be in a relationship with her. Most people don’t get into a relationship immediately and then decide if they like the person. I can’t tell if you’re not communicating your boundaries clearly enough or if your boyfriend is a manipulative fuck (probably a bit of both).
You have a few options because as a adult with body autonomy you have the right to them!
1. Break up with her yourself and allow him to continue seeing the two of you separately
2. Break up with the both of them and find a relationship that will work better for you
3. Tell your boyfriend you have re-evaluated things and that you are not polyamorous (as polyamory exists on a spectrum like het to homo) if he doesn’t accept that and tries to manipulate you. Break up with him!
4.) Waste part of your life being in a situation you find uncomfortable until you either end up like lainybot or start mentally breaking down in some other way

Also, you could argue that a lot of nerd girls are creepy and entitled, too, just in different ways. Fujoshi and Kpop fangirls are prime examples of that.
Basically, most human beings are assholes in some capacity, and men are slightly more likely to be the entitled variety of assholes than women are.

I'm so envious of people that had the opportunity to live rent-free.
Just for the record, I'm not angry at those that do, but I saw a post that mentioned it and realized that ever since I reached 18, I had to pay rent, utilities and food, plus care for my siblings. Prior to that, all the money that my cousins, grandparents etc. sent to me was confiscated by my father.
I live in the poorer part of europe, and here paying for rent in your parents home is not common, and almost everything I earned was spent on bills because the pay here is peanuts.
I just wish I had more time for myself and more time for self-improvement.
People can talk about situations like that making you a better stronger character but I don't think it does and neither does it matter. I just don't understand parents that make it more difficult for their children if it's obvious that the situation isn't stellar and it's outside of their control, i.e. job market.
p.s. fuck you dad, you have no idea how to the world works anymore you entitled piece of shit. You constantly talk how you are a self made men but I know for a fact that the only reason you have anything is thanks to my mom's side of family. You saw me struggling, juggling work and uni, barely getting 4 hours of sleep per day, taking care of kids which was YOUR job, and you didn't give a shit.

When I was 18 and very fucked up, I met a guy who was 36 and we dated for 3 years. He was really into BDSM and age play but I rationalised a whole lot of shit - like that he’d seen child porn before, that he’d had sex with a 13 year old when he was 21, shit like him defending people on To Catch A Predator, to things like losing sexual attraction to me when I wanted to grow back pubes, having sex with me when I wasn’t im a right mind (straight after I self harmed), dragging me outside in the middle of the night and putting cold water on me because hurrrr BDSM and some extremely ugly shit anyone could tell I was lying through my teeth that I was actually into and was just doing it because I hated myself. This motherfucker put a knife to my neck on our first “date”. Anyway; I have been no contact for a year and I’ve made massive life changes and could not even fathom being that sad girl again but I got back in contact because I was very lonely and he’s always been a good listener lol.
He offloaded on me that he met an older woman and arranged a consensual non consensual rape scene in a park at night, where she was walking and he assaulted her. Apparently it went badly and she started crying and he did too etc etc and now he feels terrible about it. I used to sympathise with his victimised monster narrative but it shocks me that he told me a very similar story when we first met 4 years ago and how he’d never forgive himself for doing that. And now he’s done it again.
Something stupid in me thought because he regretted things he would never do them again but he clearly will and does.
There’s a lot more and I’m still in therapy haha; however I always wonder about outing him - he lives with his family who live in denial about his clear (to me) BPD and he has a circle of fucked up lefty friends that would be absolutely disgusted if they knew the things he’s done. Or even the police who have an ardorous and stressful process and may not even be able to charge after revisiting all my trauma. Fun. I also had my Dad break down and him saying to me that he failed as a father for not saving me from him.
I’m so frustrated about this sick fuck.
Side note, I have a great group of friends and a stable GPA now. It’s shit dragging all this around though. I plan to never contact him again.

Is it wrong that I feel insecure over dating bisexual men?
It's not that I hate the idea of gay men in general, but it feels weird to me when I'm with a guy in a straight relationship and I imagine someone having had a dick up his ass or a cock in his mouth. Also it's a simple fact that gay anal sex carries a high risk for STDs.
I fear for my feelings because I feel like a dude being bi doubles his likelihood of being a cheater on the basis that he'd take whatever is tempted regardless of sex.
My last ex of 4 years came out as being bisexual, which I always figured because it seemed like he wasn't very romantic nor sexual to me before I broke it off. I was always the one taking the lead in the relationship (the real job, the car, the responsibilities) while he acted 50s "womanly" in many ways. In mentality only, not that he actually did housework or cooked ever. He wanted to pretend like he was the man while simultaneously acting like a needy helpless bitch who took me for granted, which is why he got dumped.
Fast forward: I've been seeing this new guy for two weeks who I admit is awesome in bed. He wants us to be going steady. Yet my gaydar is going off. He has pretty effeminate mannerisms, and has already admitted he has to fend off advances from his gay roommates/friends and was raped once.
Today we were talking about our sexual fetishes, and he mentioned how he likes giving anal/giving rimjobs/having his ass played with. Not too weird, I guess, until he mentioned how he wants to see me get fucked by one of his male friends but at the same time he might hate them later because of jealousy? He said he'd like to see a girlfriend fuck me too??? What?
You know I don't think of myself as a particularly masculine woman so idk why I'm attracting bisexual males. Is it just the vibe I give off? Like do I seem like the type of person who's open and not judge-y in that way? I just want a dominant, masculine male who rejects other men's penises and mouths.
No. 308789
>>308775They’re just in denial and won’t ever admit it. My ex would ERP with degenerate faggots and scope out their dick pics behind my back. I later found out he had a history of flirting with men online before he met me and was secretly into the idea of a MMF threesome. Yet he would never admit to being bisexual even when I confronted him with the shit I found.
Anyways, I wouldn’t be surprised if these types of men made up a bigger portion of the male sexuality spectrum than most people believe. If there’s any type of man worse than a bisexual to date, it’s a closested bisexual.

I've always had a problem with public speaking, presenting… hands and voice shaking, heart doing backflips, almost getting a fucking stroke in general. Today I presented something in class and I thought I'll be fine, I wasn't that stressed, but as I talked it was getting worse and worse… My voice got reeeeally shaky and I almost lost control over my trembling lips, and they got very dry and hard to move.
And my professor commented on that publicly.
She asked me if that's stress or is my voice always like this, and that I sound like I did something bad and that I'll be laughed at in our discipline…
As the day progressed I became more and more upset with what she said and now I'm pretty depressed, I know she's right, I'm no good with public speaking and I'm studying something that is all about it if I want to pursue a proper career… She said it publicly with my whole uni group listening, and I was the only one scolded… I feel like a total failure, it's not something I can improve at since it's always been like this and fuck!! why someone always has to comment on how terrible I am and make me fear public speaking even more!! I've never had a good experience and every time I'm just more traumatized.
I'm half angry with the prof, feeling like she humiliated me and was just straight up mean shaming my voice, and the other half agrees with her, I should just give up as I'm clearly not a material for anything, I should just chose forestry as my major and stay in the woods where I seemingly belong, since I can't fucking speak.

Every night for the past couple of months I have a hard time sleeping because I become sad. If I sleep sad, I wake up sad. Sads not the best word, more like dead. Every day feels like Monday, it prolongs to the next day. Monday doesn't end until I feel alive again. When I do I feel like I wasted a lot of time trying to get the feeling back. It dies so fast because I swear I have my heart as a brain. It's a weird feeling of not quite existing, nobody being real. It's like I have to take my brain out the fridge to thaw out on the counter. Everyone seems like nothing more than being there. I'm reckless with what I say & the consequences usually end my relationships. I feel no remorse because they're not really here, as in, alive/real in my brain. It still feels like Tuesday, it scares me that the date says it's Saturday. This entire week again, it feels like I keep waking up to Tuesday instead of the current day. It kills my mood & motivation, but nothing really brings me back to reality. Reality only lasts for so little, I go back to dead by the end of the night. Rinse & repeat, I miss feeling everything. I miss feeling alive.

Somewhat related but I was coming here to vent about a new guy I started talking to via a dating app.
We were just talking about games, which is fine but I don't take them seriously and I'm pretty casual these days. If I
wanted to I could flex my power level about what I used to do back in the day, but it's irrelevant to my adult life because I frankly grew out of playing most games.
He mentioned how he's playing some kind of fps defense game, and I replied how I liked some defense games as well.
Suddenly he tangents and says "Well it's not a tower defense game, it's turn based tactical strategy with real time campaign strategy components. Oh wow my nerd is showing. Sorry. It's fun, let's keep it at that."
Uh? So because I'm a woman I must never play defense tactic games and only play tower defense games? Also I'm sure if I would've given a fuck about the game he mentioned I would've just googled the title, he didn't need to ""nerd"" and regurgitate the genre to me. I'm fucking smarter than his 'explanation' which was borderline redundant at that.
Let me be clear: I. don't. give. a. fuck. about. vidya.
It just drives me crazy how he fucking took the opportunity to talk down to me. Then acted like because he can spout genre because he's a consumerist GAMUR BOI!1! it makes him a """nerd."""
Can men fucking stop with that? Liking games doesn't make someone smart or versed in that hobby.
I'm 27. I think it's embarrassing as shit for people my age to be obsessed about games unless they're making money off it a la vlogging or something. Other than that, it's a hobby that people throw countless hours of their time and money into.

Not only that, over the years, I feel pressured by my parents and peers to quickly get myself a man and hopefully get married a.s.a.p. (Ladies, it's true! Once you've reached the age of 26 and above the expectation to get married quick is real!)
All my siblings and friends have at least dated a few guys/gals and some are even married. I don't think I'm that ugly. I think I'm at least a 5/10 (or 6/10 if I took the time to get all dolled up). However, guys my age just never seems to be interested in me at all. I have guy friends but all of them end up liking my friends. The ones that were interested in me (just two guys really and this was years ago) were too young for my preference and I cut them off when I knew their age.
Tbh, I have never felt the need to get a partner. I've felt this way my whole life. I'm a very introverted person and I enjoy my own company. I have fun on my own and if I need company I just hang out with my friends (which is seldom because… I just like being alone).
I've also never experience a crush. When I was in school all my friends kept talking about having a crush on so-and-so boys or so-and-so actor/singer. I've never experience this feeling at all. All I cared about when I was in school was having fun watching anime and play online games. When my friends talk about their crushes and asked me if I had any crush, I had to pretend to like some popular celebrity at that time just so they won't think I'm weird for not having any crushes.
Don't get me wrong, I do like some celebrities/idols but I don't think it's a real "crush". When I like say, an actor/idol, I don't want to be with them or date them or sleep with them like most people do, I want to be like them! Meaning, I respect how the actor/idol became successful and I want to be successful or charming or talented like so-and-so celebrity.
When I watch couples having fun together I feel like I'm missing out on something important in life. Everyone says love is the most wonderful thing for a person to experience and it makes life worth living and all that jazz… but… what if a person just can't fall in love at all? Is their life not worth living?
Sometimes I feel scared of the future, not because I'll be alone but because of who's going to take care of me when I'm sick or when I'm super old and retired?
I wish I can be like a normal person who can fall in love easily, like love is a natural feeling. But at the same time I just can't see myself like that because I just prefer my own company and solitude.
Sorry for the long and nonsensical rant everyone. It's late here, I'm tired but I just need to vent about this. I've been keeping this thought to myself for so long. None of my siblings/friends understand me (or look at me funny) when I try to talk to them about this…thing… I'm sure there are others out there that feel the same way as I do… but seriously though, why can't I just be a normal human being and just fall in love and stop all this annoying societal expectation… sigh

No. 309180
>>309162I feel this soooooo much.
And another thing, like, they always are like " where are the nerdy girls where the girl i can play games with and love"
I was that fucking girl with my ex husband. But after we had our kid and i was supposed to magically turn into a perfect house wife, suddenly whenever i use my free time or try to get like a couple hours to myself to play something, I'm the worst mother and wife ever.
Just to spite me before surprise divorcing me he got a switch and breath of the wild which I'd been dying to play. I did get to play it, but he would trash me and treat me like i was a monster for it. Then he would hog it and did this thing where like, if i had managed to get ahead in some way he spent HOURS to the neglect of me and our kid catching up and doing it better and showing off his power level. I was so fucking annoyed! I was like what are you trying to prove, why the fuck do you care?
At some point he started hogging it right before i got to the end quest, so i never really got to pay BOTW all the way through. Then he kicked me out.
Everyone told me to fight for the stupid switch and half the furniture as pay back. I was more busy fighting tooth and nail with my lawyer about more important shit, like him trying to get out of child support and trying to stick me with half of the $10,000 debt i didn't know about until then.
And so like i thought about it and he immediately replaced me with a girl who is nerdy and likes anime, but doesn't care for vidya as much.
He never really wanted to share his hobby and when he had to he had this absurd egoist bullshit of having to be "better" than me at it and trash me for being "lazy?"
Like its not that fucking important. Every other aspect of life does not rely on a damn power level.
He would woe that his mom told him he wasn't grown up because he liked childish things like vidya and anime, how i meant he never really grew up and boohoo. It was so strange in particular because it was like his excuse during our fights for why he wasn't a fucking adult about shit.
No you can like vidya and anime all you fucking want and be a perfectly fine if kinda weird adult, it fucking blew my mind that I'd have to sit there arguing this shit when being mature is not about what you like but what you do.
Fucking gamers, man.

>>309167Don’t feel weird about it. I’m pretty envious to be honest. I’m almost 30 myself and the only relationship I’ve ever been in was an extremely abusive relationship I got into at 28 with someone I met online that literally scarred me. Men irl have never really shown interest in me either and I used to feel upset over it but after going through how painful a relationship can be, I feel it’s better to wait for the right person to come along instead of resorting to desperate measures.
Most relationships don’t last anyways so those lovey-dovey couples you see don’t paint a true picture of the reality of keeping a relationship. The honeymoon phase can only last so long.
Also, I never get crushes either so you’re not alone there.

>>309167Anon, this is the first time I've read a post that put into words my whole romantic life, my personality, and my current fears. And never so intense have I wanted to hug someone that I don't know (I feel I do in a way).
I don't have any words of wisdom to share as I'm going through the same thing as you, but at least there's two of us if that's of any consolation to you.
> When I watch couples having fun together I feel like I'm missing out on something important in life. Everyone says love is the most wonderful thing for a person to experience and it makes life worth living and all that jazz… but… what if a person just can't fall in love at all? Is their life not worth living?This. I don't know about you but I do feel perfectly content with my life. Just like you, I'm happy when I'm on my own doing my hobbies. It's when other people start bringing up the subject of "settling down" and trying to arrange dates with this "really cool guy, trust me you're made for each other" but I just don't want to.
At the same time, I fear regret. What if I'm on my deathbed and regret not having a family of my own? Yet, we can't really force ourselves to love. Should we pretend we do?
When I was 20, I thought I needed time and I will eventually experience attraction to someone, but that moment never came.
And now, I too am approaching 30 and I've never felt anything like love either.
Time's ticking and I feel I need to act on all of this. The pressure from my parents, acquaintances, and others is not helping. But I also think I'd hate myself if I submitted to societal pressure. It wouldn't be me.

>>309185When I got my wisdom teeth out it was fucking horrible. My mom came to pick me up expecting me to be all giggly and funny from the sedatives but I was sobbing and bleeding everywhere it was so painful. They also gave me like 5 painkillers I guess because they thought I was going to sell them or something - so annoying. My jaw was so swollen I could not move it or eat and my mom legit had to feed me pudding and mashed potatoes with a syringe and I was bruised for a month afterwards. Wisdom teeth surgery fucking sucks
Sorry to go off a tangent I got
triggered lololol but if you have dry socket your breath will smell horrible and there will probably be pus. It does sound like you may have it though because it starts 3-ish days after surgery. Have you been rinsing with salt water?
No. 309277
>>309227Not with salt water but with this medicine they gave me. It actually soothes the pain for a few minutes.
I can't tell if there's puss because I can barely open my mouth and no joke I got a bad fever/cold right after the surgery so I can't even smell or taste anything well.
The pain is sort of subsided. I'm just worried because the cold had me violently coughing and sneezing all day so I most likely disloged the clot. I'll probably call off work and go to the dentist because I'm worried. And I need more pain meds.

>>309364I really feel for you anon. I've gone through a few scares and they were situations the potential father wouldn't have stepped up or it wasn't a good time. And i felt like calling it pro-choice was a cruel joke, because it wasn't unacceptable per se, but it sure didn't feel like something I'd choose if i didn't have to.
Ultimately you need to do what's best for the family though. I really do feel for you. My heart hurts thinking about how I'll probably only ever have one and have to abort other chances.
I hope you can find love and support in this trying time.
And i don't mean to pry, but if you don't have one, IUDs are kinda scary at first but i have been very satisfied with the 99.9 success rate. Most "scares" if any turn out to just be eh normal period fluctuation, so you rest easier.

I'm working in a dead-end retail with people I hate and doing something I hate, and not getting this job made me lose any motivation to try to get something like it.

God I feel so pathetic about this entire thing, but I'm really upset and stressed about the fact that i can't keep up with inktober this year as I planned. I'm already some days behind and sadly I manage to have a very detailed art style that takes a few hours a day to finish. Yesterday I drew and sketched the whole day, ended up with a sore hand and today I just felt so tired. But during the week I have to work and do other stuff and it makes me just so sad that I feel like I'm full of ideas, that I want to prove myself that I can be motivated over a long period of time but I feel like a huge ass failure about it.
Now thinking about stepping back and do less of art during this month is just such a huge No for me because I see everybody else is doing it and I know that I am being stalked by a former co-student that happened to be my friend until I ghosted her, and that looooves to brag with her below mediocre art that she rips off (she even copy and pasted my twitter description…)and that manages to get more attention than whatever I do. I know notes and such do not really care but it just pisses me off that nothing really works out as I hoped it does GOD ….
No. 309534
>>309531I'm so sorry anon. I'm behind too and while i do a simpler style I've always been bad at finishing shit.
Tbh i had to be more forgiving of myself and realize for every artist i see doing it diligently, i know of others that have Life Things and have fallen behind, only doing half the month, every other day, etc.
And I'm trying to stick to the prompts but god… some of them are really challenging. Like today is clock. I don't want to fucking draw a clock and am trying to think of something to make it fun. But maybe i just…draw a clock and get it over with. I think we gotta make concessions sometimes.

>>298392I have been in my first ever romantic relationship for over a year now, and I am really happy. He is a great guy, the nicest, the sweetest person, I love him a lot, but, well, we haven't met in person, and because he just doesn't have money for plane tickets, and I am still at university, we probably won't be able to meet for the next few years, which just feels shitty. I wish I could meet him already. Another thing is, we probably won't be meeting often, maybe once or twice in a year for the rest of our lives (he can't move because he has a difficult family situation, and he said quite a few times that he doesn't want me to move to his place either), and it is pretty disappointing, since I have always wanted to have kids and a kind househusband.

I found out that my former classmate may have died recently. He was my first secret crush, so I still have some kind of emotional connection to this person besides being over him for years already and not speaking to him since highschool (for about 8 years).
My mom sometimes talked to his mom so I know a little about his post-school life, which seemed to be full of videogames, unemployment and depression - things that could naturally lead to a suicide, if a person is sensitive enough, which he was. He also was in the army at some point, that might have influenced him too.
It feels very strange to think about it, even though we were not really friends in school, we were just assigned to sit together for several years by teachers. I remember him being very witty and joking a lot. His family was poor, and he had no father. His mother had to work her hardest to provide for him and his little sister. I wonder how are they now.

Besides, that party crap is nothing compared to coal energy, or factories, or mines. Voting against politics that have vested interests in those is far more effective than being shitty over everyone not being as green as you. Despite your claims, far more can be done by governments than individual consumers. When your politicians are funded by coal lobbies and landowners buying your furniture secondhand or being vegan doesn’t mean or do shit.
Instead of nagging people about the lights and occasionally using a dryer, actually learn about the politics of it before dismissing them as worthless.

Just found out his divorce is so bad it'll take "years to sort"
Even though we both seem to be on the same page about marriage and that kinda thing being a shit show going forward he says he's "off the market" and might prefer being alone.
Fuck me right? Meet the one person that's what I've been hoping and dreaming about, and he's decided fuck it while decidedly leading me on with how friendly he is
I'm kinda pissed even but i know its not my fucking right to be with him so…
Guess i gotta get over it.
I wish i could take all my longing and desires for romantic and sexual companionship and shoot it into fucking deep space
Dating sites are shit shows i want no part of and the guys that live around here are all fuckboy garbo or creepy old men with ddlg fetishes
Well at least i found my nice vibrator because looks like that's the only action I'll ever fucking get.

I hate how anywhere else on the internet, the only people who will agree with me about men are inter sectional "feminists" who try to make me apologise for being white and the only people who agree with me about trans issues are heavily conservative old men who can't stand me for being a woman. My country has its own forum and I decided to start using it because a lot of the things they talk about are specific to my country and that's great for people giving tips. There was a topic about Rachel McKinnon and I was interested to see what people thought. While people agree with me that it's unfair a trans person was allowed to compete and won, it's not because they're feminists or actually give a damn about the female contestants. All the comments are old men and middle aged women talking about how women are inferior to men in every aspect (intelligence, strength, stamina, speed, hand-eye coordination, "sorry hunny it's just biology! x ;)") and going out of their way to provide examples of sports that don't require strength (darts, snooker, soccer) where women have failed to win against men. They're making jokes about Serena and Venus and how a man who beat them "went easy on them". Like I appreciate that they're standing up to the trans nonsense but they can't do it without getting their little dig in at women too! I know people will assume I live in a shithole but I don't, this is just the average opinion of men and brainwashed women.

I'm giving it a week in case it shows up in a quirky place, but I'm pretty sure one of my new bf's roommates stole my VS makeup bag with all my makeup in it from his room while we were out. Fortunately, most of the makeup was cheap Elf crap but what's not so replaceable is a makeup brush I had in there from my unicorn set, and the bag itself. In fact, since I'm in somewhat of a shady area, I think they stole it just for the bag considering it's a recognizable brand they could resell quickly. My makeup is pale girl shit so I think they would have dumped it. Got no way to prove it though.

>>311272I get it. At first, when I was reading the responses to #herthigness winning the race, I was positively surprised and thought, "Wow, so there is hope for humanity.", then the discussion went in that direction of making fun of women and how women are inferior, both men and women. I get that biology does make us less likely to win against a man when physical strength is involved, but that doesn't make women altogether useless, stupid idiots that don't know what they're doing. It makes me extremely bitter.
However, I hate trannies to that extent that I'd be willing to put up with that merely because people thinking women are delicate defenceless flowers is nothing in comparison to trannies that will
act on entering women-only spaces, harassing them, in particular lesbians, reinforcing gender stereotypes and making divisions within female communities and so much more.

i feel so bad, i lied to the pharmacist lady at the drug store about smoking cigarettes so that i could buy nicotine patches. my main reason is that i find it very hard to stay awake, especially at university during the morning lectures, and ive had multiple people take pictures of me sleeping and make fun of me for it, but i cant physically stop myself from falling asleep no matter how hard i try. i hate how people think they can just take pictures of me, i hate it when people take pictures of me when im awake and consented to it, but taking a picture of me when im struggling to stay awake and shit just feels so violating. i read that nicotine can make you more alert and focused, so im going to try it, but only beause im very sensitive to caffeine so i avoid it.

Even just to start with the love stuff and trying to change your habits within 3 weeks is too much, but then this thing about pretending he's protecting you by saying you're not dating? He sounds shady and manipulative, even at best case scenario he seems like a delusional teenager that has spent too long RPing online.
Don't feel guilty about the food or the weed, you took a 17 hour train to be there, you paid your dues. It's better to find someone who lives closer to you and is honest with you, maybe someone that even wants to help you half the size of your joint.

Smoking weed (when you even asked beforehand) and eating some food are no good reasons for him to be whiny and talking shit about you to his friends–which he most definitely did btw.
>I have enemies and people could target you!Lol, he's a student not an assassin for hire. He's so fucking vanilla he doesn't even like weed smell in his house. The guy has no enemies, he just wants to be viewed as single while keeping you in the closet as a side girl.
At least in your next bf make sure he's okay with smoking weed.
I too have been in a relationship the past couple of weeks with someone new. He loves smoking weed with me and I actually bring positivity to his lifestyle by helping him slow down on other vices like alcohol/cigs. I feel wanted whenever I'm over there seeing him, he makes me feel desirable.
And you deserve to feel that way too anon.
No. 311832
>>311817>>311821>>>311819Thank you anons. I smoke weed because I have severe anxiety and it helps but I would like to slow down because it's expensive for my budget and because it might do more bad than good but it really helps me. My boyfriend is in med school and he thinks weed makes me more depressed and that it worsens my immunity. He is right but at the same time I've been going through a lot of hardships and bad stuff happening and I'm 2 steps away from suicide and weed helps me feel better, I don't do other drugs. We are from the same city but he studies 17 hours away from home.
I'm really sad and feel really lost because I have no one in my life and I have problems with socializing so I was really happy I met him. I want to talk this through with him because I want to see what he tells me and I'll tell him what I feel.
He talks with that girl and I'm okay with him being friends with her but I don't want him to talk shit behind my back and I'm really angry on the girlfriend part.
I'll confront him and keep you anons updated if anyone is interested . I'm kinda sad and I feel like venting a lot.

No. 311837
>>311832I feel like you read the advice from ~4 anons and just decided to ignore it. I get that money is an issue with getting a ticket back sooner, but you seem to be just clinging and waiting for the right words from him to soothe you. You’ve already confronted him, and he just lied to you. What do you think the second confrontation is going to do? Either he will continue to lie or say that he won’t do it again just to get you to shut up about it.
I’m sorry to be harsh, but I understand what you’re going through. I’ve stayed in relationships in the past because I was lonely and had lost friends too. Even when I knew he was being shady with me. Don’t waste your life, it sounds like you need to work on yourself a bit. There’s other dudes out there.
No. 311845
>>311832I mean he is right that medicating your anxiety with weed doesn't have a good long-term prognosis, but that's beside the point. The fact is you did ask permission before you showed up to make sure he was cool with smoking, but then he went back on his word with what he said he was comfortable with. Even if you want to dismiss the drama over the girl, the weed thing is petty of him.
Are you actually okay with him being friends with that girl? I mean…are you really okay anon? She seems like a crazy c-u-n-t.
Don't force yourself to be with someone who doesn't respect you because you're lonely and he's in med school.
I think if you stay, he's going to continue to disrespect you when he should be treating you like a guest for traveling so far. Obv I can't force your hand into doing shit, but I don't see how this is a good long-term partner candidate for you.

Why the fuck do some parents act like it was anyone's choice but theirs to reproduce? Literally every
good parent I know sacrifices a chunk of who they are, what they spend their money on, and what they do in their free time. And they put all that towards their children.
It's never meant to be the reverse. Children aren't meant to be slaves and moneymakers for lazy parents.
Sounds like your mom is actually the worthless one. Seeing you trying to save money threatens her ego because she knows what you're doing is the mature thing to do, but rather than praise you for it, she wants to drag you down to her level.
Think about what your existence will be like without her in the picture. Think of how much happier and the potential you could possess if you can find a way to escape that toxicity. Your life has value even if your bitch mother can't see that.
No. 311944
>>311922I realize I'm trivializing it because it's happened so frequent throughout my life but still taken aback because I thought our relationship had gotten better. It's like a slap in the face, I guess. I know the onus should be on her, but it still feels like I destroyed a year or two worth of relationship building just because I couldn't help myself from making a bad joke.
Unfortunately, though, my mom comes from a background where children
are investments and are expected to provide for their parents later on. My dad's Western and I've been raised Western, too, but it's never rubbed off on her. So, I understand why she's thinking like this, but it's unfair for her to use it as leverage against me when I've barely gotten out of severe NEETing and started being responsible for myself.
I just feel bad for her, because my mom does have an abnormal bizarre inferiority complex going on and is basically alone because she drives people out. It's a really sad life and I guess I'm unfortunately the only person she can redirect her feelings at.

I'm 23 and I'm only realizing now how much my parents fucked me up and how much anger I have towards them, especially my mother.
She spent my whole childhood verbally abusing me and calling me names, she kept me at home when I was a little child claiming I didn't need to have friends, or do anything outside our house, and when I grew up to be a socially stunted teen she called me weird and claimed that people didn't like me because I was an unpleasant mean person, she would never listen to my problem or she would berate them saying things like "do you even know what I went through when I was your age?" and then would cry on my shoulder about how much she wanted to kill herself, she would ask me to do complicated things without explaining to me how to do them and would scream at me how dumb and lazy I was when I inevitably failed to do those things.
She destroyed my room multiple times in my life, obviously she always carefully picked the things I liked the most to smash on the ground, she destroyed my bestfriend's hand made gift for me, she ripped the pages of my favorites books, sometimes she would go in the kitchen and destroy the dishes by throwing them on the floor or against the walls, terrifying me with the loud smashing noises.
She was always getting into fights with my dad and then my step fathers, the house was nothing but constant screams even in the middle of the night, I'm still terrified by people raising their voice to this day. She would also prevent from getting quality sleep by letting the tv that was stuck to the wall of my bedroom play very loudly all night long and would scream at me if I ever asked her to turn down the sound. She told me I was weird for not having friends and at the same time that people couldn't like anyways me since I was so mean and uninteresting, that I was lazy for not getting good results at school (like anyone could be productive in such an environment…), she would even get upset at the face I was making, even if I tried my hardest to have the most neutral face possible she would scream at me to knock my "poor victim expression" out of my face, and I really did try my hardest to have a neutral expression all the time even when she screamed at me, even when she destroyed my belonging, even when she kicked me out of her house in the middle of the night.
She never apologized for anything and to this day she still calls me regularly to cry about her personal life, if I ever try to talk about my problems, my suffering, my doubts she just take the subjects and make it about herself.
I adore my dad but I'm starting to ressent him to, he was definitely abused by my mother and he decided to leave her and to leave me alone with her… It makes me feel like he didn't love me either.

hello, op here. i didn't expect us to still be on this thread, which is kinda neat to me and totally meaningless to the rest of you.
anyway.
i'm sick of feeling so empty. i was diagnosed with bpd and dpd 8 years ago, but i haven't felt like a person for far longer than that. i have no sense of realness, self, or identity, and i'm fairly certain i don't have a personality either (although people who see my tailored ones obviously disagree). i'm stuck in this rut where i'm desperate to be A Person for once, but i'm scared to try different identities since i'm also determined to be true to myself (whatever that is) and to be acknowledged for who i actually am. i don't want to become someone i'm not, but i have no way of differentiating between what i am and what i'm not, if that makes sense.
this is probably an incoherent mess, but i'm in a bad mental place rn, and i don't see my new psychiatrist until late november so you're all i have.

My mom has been a raging alcoholic for most of her life. My dad has wanted to divorce her but she's basically helpless (no friends or family and can't keep a job) and he cares about her enough to not just leave her in the dust so we've kind of just been stuck with her. A week ago though the drinking caught up with her. She had to have surgery and she's medically being put through withdrawal and detox or whatever. The doctors are telling us there is a good chance of a permanent "fog" or brain damage or something like that. If she lives, my dad and I cannot afford care for her and I refuse to give up my life to take care of her. It's been so stressful for my dad and I, but also nice? This is the first time the house has been quiet. She was constantly yelling at us for something or about something so it's honestly been nice. I'm at a point now where I'm more stressed out and upset about the thought of her coming back. I keep having dreams where she comes back and I keep saying, "I wish you died." I feel guilty thinking this way but she's been a constant stress my entire life.

I’m thinking about buying razor blades and slitting my wrists under a warm shower. I’ve already planned it out.
I can’t trust anybody and I don’t like anybody. I’m gone to everyone, so it’s just a matter of time. I don’t enjoy anything about my life. People only notice me when they want to laugh/ridicule something. I exist only as the butt of every joke. Everyone else gets talked about how attractive they are, how cocky they are, or how rich they are, and I’m just there to make people feel better about themselves by virtue of me being a lonely poorfag.
What’s so agonizing about it is I’m not exactly ugly, not exactly pretty, not exactly dumb, not exactly smart, I’m in this weird gray area and I can’t bond with anyone over any of my personality traits. (Probably because I don’t have a personality to begin with)
The only people that tolerate me are these SJW uwufags that have a more impressive social circle than I do. Why these people even have friends and significant others is beyond me. They’re public embarrassments.
I started going out of my way to watch gore and read about upsetting things to see if it would make me feel anything. I don’t. I think could have before, but now I’m just empty.
My withdrawal from everyone and everything proves my point about me being unwanted and invisible to everyone no matter how hard I try. At the same time, people have harassed me when I tried to avoid them. Like everything else regarding me, it was a joke to them. My paranoia, the fact that I avoided school or classes, or having bad hygiene because I wanted to stay in bed all day would make them laugh.
It’s so sick lol, now I just disregard everyone’s comments when they virtue signal about how much they cared about me or how much the thought about talking to me but didn’t actually do it. It just makes me want to cry and tear my face off.

>>312463hey i'm just a random anon, but… i think more people care about you than you think. your perspective on yourself is skewed because you don't get to see yourself from the outside, without any depression induced cognitive distortions. depression and anxiety can color your entire world.
remember: depression is the most evil liar. it will convince yourself of the most horrible things, and it can feel practically impossible to see through the haze.
i'm diagnosed with clinical depression, and something that helps me is remembering that my brain is actively trying to fuck me over, and i should ignore it. basically, it's a lack of serotonin, not a character flaw.
also, therapy has really helped me a lot.
if you feel like you might be in serious risk of hurting yourself, i heavily encourage you to call a hotline. i have several times, and i didn't feel like i was being judged. or, try a website like 7 cups of tea, which is good if you just have stuff you want to get off your chest.
it can and it will get better for you.

>>312463>warm shower + razorbladesYou seem smart anon, so why are you picking a method that has a high failure rate with a lot of trauma? Like another farmer said, this is just gonna result in an embarrassing trip to the hospital.
I'm not bringing this up to try to a-log you into picking a more 'efficient' method, but I'm picking at your post because I don't think you have a good enough reason to be dead.
Everyone always talks about how suicide is a personal choice and whatnot, but I think you should have some solid reasons before committing to such a decision.
Honestly? Being in a bit of a "grey area" isn't really that compelling, IMO.
You claim you don't have a personality while your post proves to the contrary. I think the actual problem is you're afraid of opening yourself to vulnerabilities ie. hence you can't understand why SJWs have social circles when they're
so embarrassing; it's why you watch gore online and claim you're numb; and how upset and betrayed you feel over people not reaching out to you in your time of depression.
You can have your view on how permanent this is, I can't stop you. It just sounds to me that this is a result of a temporary mental disorder that may be getting in the way of your objectivity. I can see it getting better for you.

>>312463>Why these people even have friends and significant others is beyond me. They’re public embarrassments.I know you're probably in a bad place, but I thought that was hilarious coming from someone who admitted they're less than average in nearly every way. Especially when they're the only people who bother to put up with you, probably because they feel bad for you. Your personally sounds pretty shitty.
>now I just disregard everyone’s comments when they virtue signal about how much they cared about me or how much the thought about talking to me but didn’t actually do it.Are they saying this to you? Are you posting sad facebook stauses and they're telling you this or is this some weird suicide fantasizing shit?

>>312463Also samefagging, but
>thinking about buying razor blades and slitting my wrists under a warm shower>already planned it outYou're probably below average in intelligence, too, since it's very well known that method is pretty ineffective. If you want to cry for help, just do it instead of opting for some over the top dramatic attempt to wring pity out of people you're jealous of. Go to therapy and build up a real personality with fun hobbies and interests instead of being an edgelord online. You'll probably feel better.

>>312612Idk, it's like I want to give it a try because some women do seem to enjoy it. I'm just nervous because of the past experiences which probably weren't thought through with consideration.
Also forgot to add he wants me to try some butt stuff on him too so it doesn't seem unequal.

>>312625>>312626>expected us to encourage youOr maybe I just put my thoughts into an anonymous vent thread to shout into the void because I don't feel comfortable talking irl to people about my sex life?
It's entirely up to whoever if they want to respond to me. Clearly you took this as an opportunity to talk down to me and be shitty while reminding me of the empowering ability of the word ~no~ like I'm a five year old.
I bet you consider yourself a feminist when the reality is you're a bitch.

>>312644>afraid of the painBecause in the past it wasn't handled correctly. Based on my reading, and some kind inputs from anons itt, you're supposed to build up to it with plugs and get numbing lube.
So maybe if I "do it right" this time it might not be bad and maybe pleasurable?
>horrifiedOf getting shit on his dick. Kind of separate from the pain issue but yeah, not an uncommon thing to be nervous about based on my googling.
>really hesitantBecause it's normal when trying something new with someone new.
>don't think the sensation of reverse shitting a dick will get me offBut I could be surprised.
>I really don't get itBecause I really don't. But then again, I've never tried it before proper either.
Yeah, I'm nervous. I just wanted to vent.
Does it really merit childish reprimands as if I lack the ability to say no and back out if something turns out to be painful? Sheesh is right.

>>312042Cliche, but I still love her and I want to have a relationship with my mother.
>>312075Thanks, I agree I need to cut her out of my life as much as possible, but I don't want to go completely NC. I was a really broken person when I left her home, but after a few years of extremely low contact I'm doing a lot better, the thing is she just broke up with her last partner which made her extremely depressed and she's been using me to dump ALL of her feelings. I don't know how to tell her I can't help her and that she actively hurts me every time she wants me to be her emotional crutch.
>>312098>>312099Thanks for the kind words.
Ngl, I thought I was going to get shit on or mocked, I have a hard time believing what happened was real or serious abuse.
>>312135I definitely believe she has a mental or a personality disorder, I know she was severely physically and mentally abused as a child. It doesn't excuse her behavior at all, but it help me understand that she is a damaged person and it really isn't because I was a bad child that she did all those things to me.
Farmers can be brutal in the vent thread sometimes but you can also be really kind! Thanks.

Dealing with a master manipulator at work, i knew she was a irl lolcow but we got along okay. I screwed something up and she came at me full force (arms crossed, scowling, blinking in disbelief) that I could dare make an error. She is not my boss and I was doing this job as a favour for her.
So, the day this happened I was already having a fucking terrible day (family member passed away). Usually I can keep it together but I got really upset and started crying/scratch stimming (they know about my asd).
What does this bitch say? "Anon, oh my god, I can't handle you right now". This child has now not spoken for about a month. You are 37 years old, grow the fuck up. She's also treating it like I suddenly stopped talking to her (she is the one that would always come talk to me, not the other way around), and when we were in the meeting it was me that didn't say anything to her. God, fuck right off please. Ironically all I'm doing is treating her less like a work buddy and more like my other co-workers.
