but that is stupid that she is putting her insecurities on you guys. sort of related but my sister had a huge drug problem, selling and making and stealing. she at least after having to sit in jail and deal with some other awful stuff got her stuff together and apologized for being angry we would let her sit in jail and deal with the legal ramifications.

Brexit is driving me mad. I'll happily admit that I don't understand every single facet of the argument, but today the govt announced that they will be checking the status of every EU national in the country (3 million people). For the ones who have indefinite leave/permanent residency, the application process is free and is essentially ticking a box. For ones who don't, if they've been here 5 years+ they automatically qualify for settled status and can continue as before. Their kids born in the UK are British citizens and nothing has to change - they can even bring close family members here. If they haven't, they qualify for pre-settled status; bit more limited than settled but still able to stay, children born here have to qualify as British citizens through their other parent or will be automatically qualified for pre-settled also. The rest will be checked out for employment, family ties, criminal record, etc… Which is exactly what a lot of the British public wanted. But there's a ton of people now kicking off because their husband came over from Italy 35 years ago, they have kids here, and they're worried about the future, like why?? Nothing will fucking happen to them, which is obvious if you actually read the application page. So over-dramatic, Remainers seem to live in this fairytale land where millions of people moving around randomly apparently has no effect on society, the economy, the govt, crime rates, employment, school populations… But instead of thinking logically about it, of course all Brexiteers are just racist. Which totally explains why they want immigration from the EU restructuring. This hysterical screeching is really making me lose any sympathy I had. /Rant

>>345012we have all suggested she probably just needs to consume more calories in her diet instead of getting implants because her body used to look more normal but she just wouldn’t have it since she believes she’s extremely muscular even though her limbs are twiggy. so the latter basically.

I'm pretty proud of the way I've changed my attitude and criticism towards lolcows so that I'm not being nearly as toxic in my judgement about other women as I was a few years ago. Tbh, some threads on pt and snow legitimately disgust me because of the excessive shitting on female bodies. So much that I sometimes wonder if some men aren't slipping in to make such hateful comments, or perhaps the years of internalized misogyny just got to some people. Who knows. Anyway, I know I can't say anything or else I'm a WK so I tend to avoid them.
What really helped me be fairer was thinking about flaws in terms of whether they can be changed tomorrow, next week, in a year(s) time, or never:
Ex If someone has poor hygiene/makeup I'm going to laugh because that's something they could fix by tomorrow or next week if they weren't being stubborn, lazy or ignorant.
VS..
Choosing not to mock someone for having saggy breasts or loose skin because it can't be significantly fixed with non-surgical means and surgery isn't something most people can afford. It can't realistically be better by next week or maybe even never.
And I guess the latter scenario bothers me because farmers nitpick the bodily flaws so hard meanwhile the actions and the behavior of the cow are why they're posted here and are way worthier of discussion.
———————————–
Other vent is that my laptop was performing really slowly so I decided to do a purge to free up some disc space.
I'm talking thousands of saved reaction pics, screencaps that I never deleted, etc. I guess I felt I should keep a lot of it in case I ""needed"" them but the reality is I never click or check them out. What's the point in having something if it's not used?
I felt a bit toxic for having them because a lot of the pictures and caps were saved from 4ch lolcows going several years back including a shitty ex. I feel a lot better, plus now if I die suddenly I won't be nearly as embarrassed for what's left on my laptop for my loved ones to find!

>>345348>And I guess the latter scenario bothers me because farmers nitpick the bodily flaws so hard meanwhile the actions and the behavior of the cow are why they're posted here and are way worthier of discussion. This. I've never been much into criticizing a cow's appearance unless the cows themselves shit on other peoples' looks on a regular basis (such as shoe and momo), and even then I prefer sticking to discussing the shitty behavior they exhibit. I hate how a metric ton of farmers seem to be more interested in nitpicking saggy tits and crooked teeth for all eternity instead of focusing on the behavior that makes the cow worthy of laughing at. It becomes frustrating how a cow can be a complete sociopath yet anons are more interested in reeing over their nasolabial folds.
I also think it's cowish behavior in itself to tell people to go under the knife to correct flaws in their appearance. If you can't correct it with self-help such as improved hygiene, exercise, eating habits and more fitting clothes, their appearance is not milk. Momokun having shit eating habits and going on food and alcohol binges with no exercise or sleep while lying about working out is something she can improve on, but her "boob vein" isn't worth ten replies of "ewww the return of boob vein-kun lmaoooo".

I recently got into D&D with my boyfriend. I've played 3 games so far, an adventure league and two homebrew. There are a couple of things that put me off, one being that when my bf makes a character, he doesn't actually make a character. He pores over the ability scores and shit for hours, trying to make the most OP combination of multiclass and not even giving the thing a name or personality. Last night, he was like, "I'm finally done! Oh, wait, I need to figure out a background real quick." Proceeds to copy some generic shit… Like, I thought the game was about role-play and getting creative. Having a different personality and doing fun things, not "winning." What the fuck is the point if you have no real character to imagine adventuring with, rather than cold, faceless stats on a page?

>>345553There Isn't much to it. Just someone that I thought was special for 8 years. We talked on and off with no special dialogue in between but, the 5 times we met in person It was emotionally intense for just me it seems. If they ever did feel anything they never let me know leaving me in this grey area for too long. They went on to do things overseas while I slowly reached my goals. they came back this time. I was excited to see them to be a friend for them since i knew they probably had a hard time where they went. they just want to use me cause they haven't gotten laid in a long time. after much hesitation and moving away from them I give in. nothing feels right. I realize I am no longer attached to them . If they even cared just a bit it wouldn't of been this way. They critique everything I've been proud of doing. I know I am no superhuman and I have many caveats but I accomplish a few things I never thought I would…..They see.. I am quiet not really being lively I cant help but glare at this person. they try to buffer the situation. they tellme a bunch of secrets and things…almost breaking down right in front of me I just cant feel anything I feel sad for them but refuse to comfort them as i once did.
so yeah person played me for a long time. I came to my senses. they realize they dont want to lose their connection to me. I dont fall for their game no more. I am really mad at myself and them. I am in this peaceful raging zen. nothing they say or do has an effect. later on they text me "lets not see each other anymore" I reply"agreed" they then reply " sorry I wasnt good for you" "tell them not to apologize" realize the arent for me If they have to apologize for the kind of person they have been now and not then when i was willing to work things out. right now i feel sad but free but angry at the same time I am quite idiotic.

having a top model's body is my dream since forever and i ALMOST achieved it, like, it was SO CLOSE man
i was 43 kg, my body was starting to be just the way i've always dreamed of but i was hella depressed and my aunt lured me into going to the gym with her, she's one of those healthy fitness persons and shit, so i started going and i was like so depressed at the time i had nothing to do in my life and once i started going to the gym i used it like something to fill my mind with, so i started with the whole - fitness lifestyle - without even noticing that and now, right now in this moment i just fell back into reality and i'm looking myself at the mirror and thinking what the fuck i did with my body
i was really really close to be the petite skinny fashion looking bitch i always wanted to be and now i look like a instathot
good side: i'm healthy now
but i miss my dying skinny body, it was my dream since i was like 14 and i ruined it, i just fucking ruined it because i'm a depressed piece of shit
i'm just so disgusted at my body right now i could kill myself

people say we're supposed to like looking healthy and well but i don't really have a life, i obsess over how much i dislike my appearance now, all the time. no amount of compliments can fix my broken self esteem.
every day i wish i could go back. i gain and lose the same 10 lbs over and over again.

I had a really weird disinhibition episode today combined with severe dissociation. I ended up at the ER where they gave me a phenothiazine shot and I went home.
I did something extremely cringy while I had that comedown, I recorded myself saying weird stuff and then recorded myself in the bathroom naked saying some suicidal shit in the mirror and I sent the videos to a friend and my ex. I get the fact that I sometimes feel like I need attention or something but I don't know how the fuck I end up doing extreme shit like this that I regret afterwards when I get out of that weird mental state.

i always manage to get borderline underweight before the holidays or some event fucking ruins it for me, and i cave in.
i fucking hate food. i feel so much better when i'm not eating much or even thinking about food at all. i'm pathetic and can't control myself and i'm stuck at a 20 bmi permenantly. this isn't what i want.
hopefully once i graduate i can buy my own place and finally manage to not get thrown off a lot. it was so much easier when i was in middle school/early HS. things just got so stressful as i had more to worry about. don't worry about being "too old", i used to be a frequent poster of r/proED for 2 years before it was deleted last month, most posters on there were well over 20, many had kids. it's unfortunate, but ed's don't just disappear into thin air once you're an adult. i'm pretty convinced it'll nag me the rest of my life.

I hate how immature my boyfriend acts sometimea, even if I'm immature too.
When I get cuddly with him, he pushes me away. When I want to kiss him, he bites me (arms, legs, fingers). When I'm walking in front of him, he kicks me. When he says something and I don't hear him and ask him to repeat, he makes fart noises, and then I have to beg him to repeat what I said.
I get stressed and in a bad mood really quickly so he loves to push my buttons to watch me get angry. I told him several times this shit gets me stressed and makes me feel like shit, but he keeps doing it.
The best part? He is more mature than me. When it's time to get serious and get shit done he does it better than me. Fuck.

I'm so pissed at my parents and them "caring".

Like what the fuck? We're still friends, he was never abusive or used me in any way, we simply figured out we're better off being friends, there was no messy breakup and they know all this and yet they keep on shitting on both of us like this.
It's a huge deal when I go out with someone I know I'm safe with but when my brother goes missing for two days or just pisses off somewhere without telling anyone it's no big deal. Like fuck off.

I've been obsessively watching the last of us 2 trailer ever since it came out multiple times per day with this woman in it. I so want to be her and I want to be with her.
And every time I look at myself in the mirror I'm afraid that I will never achieve that dream.
I started lifting among other things and I have a leaner body now, but I hate that I have a large cup size (not a humble brag, I hate my D cups). I still have a clearly womanly body and I'm afraid that I won't achieve the androgynous look that I badly want.
I've settled for a chest binder but I can't stand my thighs and hips. I wish I could stop hating every feminine feature on me but I can't. Why can't I just be happy being me?

I feel like women make a huge mistake in over-investing time and emotional energy into men/their romantic endeavors where instead they should be investing more time into their friends or their own female family.
You can go out and get drunk and wild, but don't do it in the spirit of being sad in regards to an old flame. Do it because you wanna celebrate your own talents and achievements and the relationships you have with the people you love right now.

>>346796They clearly refer to her as she in game. Admittedly, her model does look like someone copy-pasted a woman's head on a man's body.
And I can't feel attraction to men, no matter how masculine or feminine they look. Having a penis is an instant deal breaker for me, so I'm definitely not straight.

I know this was done on purpose because they or the assistant manager suddenly made plans for tonight. It aggravates me that I need to ask for a day off weeks in advance and still get flack about it, but they can screw around with the schedule whenever they feel like it.

>>346870Not that it'll make you feel better, but my dad was a womanizer and similarly I found out I have multiple half siblings besides my bitchy half sister who I went no contact with when I was 13.
I have no earthly clue how many half siblings I may actually have. I haven't talked to my father since I was 13 as well, and my mom can only offer foggy details at best. Clearly she hopped into a marriage with him and didn't know shit about him. My mom kept many secrets from me I think out of embarrassment and not wanting me to pick the same types of losers by the example she set.
It bothers me sometimes, and the only thing I can guarantee is that if I have children I'll do better for a partner so they won't have to deal with such awful situations.

Right when I think my friend who's gotten distant has finally ghosted me, she'll send me a message out of the blue asking me how I am, I'll say fine and ask her how she is, but she won't answer? Or sometimes she'll ignore my questions and say something unrelated then she'll disappear again. This has been going on for nearly 2 months. What is she doing? Is that some contrived way to get me to ghost her instead so she doesn't feel bad? I'm not even messaging her first anymore at this point, so what the hell. I'm confused and a little uncomfortable because of how off those interactions feel. I still care for her and was putting up with this because I thought maybe she was privately struggling with something but I'm fed up. I'll stop answering.

>>346884Honestly thought this was about me for a second.
I'm guilty of doing dumb shit like this to my very patient bestfriend.
We started chatting on mocospace about KHR when we were both 14 and had a lot in common.
We would message each other every other hour daily,tell each other we loved one another,had a shared deviantart account for an obscure crack pairing.
Then when we were 15/16 we moved onto facebook and around this time I was couch surfing and homeless.
I would see on FB that she was surrounded with really cool friends and she was already planning for college and I felt overwhelmed and unworthy to be her friend,like I would just drag her down if I opened up to her and let her know I was going through some dark stuff so I just deleted everything.
Then almost 2 years later I reconnected with a mutual friend of ours on tumblr and we all started talking again and planning to meet up at conventions.I told them about how I was homeless and depressed and didn't want to be a bother and everything was going great and I ghosted them a month after the convention meetup.
I would check up on their blogs a year later and recognize inside jokes and nicknames we gave each other and it all just made me feel like garbage and I didn't even think about contacting them again.
I hate rejection and didn't want either of them to realize how boring and clingy a person I was/am

Found out my “best friend” at work has been talking bad about me to upper management and other people at work. We recently had an argument because she kept leaving her position to flirt with a guy at work and I got upset and confronted her. We got over it and started talking again even planned to go out and then that day i find out she’s been spewing bad stuff about me since i started working besides her pretty much all while we would go out and go to each other’s houses and such. I’m a very upfront person which a lot of people here take issue with so i’m not new to being disliked but what bothered me so much is how she pretended to be my friend this whole time while bad mouthing me to everyone under the sun. She never gets in trouble either and has gotten some people fired due to one of her parents working in management. Im trying my best to keep my cool but at the same time I really want to slowly tear her down and make her life impossible.

Why do you want to base someone's value, and usually someone that has done nothing wrong to you or is just minding their own business, on something they have no control of?
I know there are nasty people of every gender, age, race, etc. but when I hear young girls saying such things, they usually do it to a nice older lady. I've never understood that even in my teens. Though, tbh it's usually some street trash that says such things, you know, the type of a woman who will only work as a cashier or a waitress until she realises that her looks are long gone and she never did anything with her life or has any meaningful skills except for gossiping and being petty.

I found out recently that my dad is still a piece of shit and not the person i thought he was. i've been openly gay all my life (lesbian) and he was okay ( i guess tolerated it… cuz he's hyper christian.) He was fine with me getting married, since i've been with the same woman for 10 years now, but once i mentioned wanting to have a child, he freaked out. He kept saying it wasn't because of his religion, but he would not allow it and i started crying on the phone.
I have a younger sister who was knocked up at 17 and had a kid and everyone praised her, but i want one child in a healthy, happy marriage and my dad hates me for it. My mom passed away unfortunately, but she was nicer than my father in every way.

My boyfriend who I've been dating since October ruined the night out on new year's eve by abusing me and now I know what I have to do, I'm just very…very sad, exhausted, and dismayed. It's TL;DR but I need this off my chest.
The plan was that we were going to go to my friend's birthday party and then meet up with my second group of friends in the city for dinner plus its version of the ball drop event. We bought flasks beforehand because we're both short on money so we didn't want to pay expensive bar prices, and I assumed like any adult my bf would be able to self-moderate and cut off if he had enough. After that, I was meant to drive back to his place to spend the night.
It was well established to bf that there would be a lot of people around and drinking.
The birthday party was fine. He was being social and didn't claim to have an anxiety attack around people like I've seen him do before. We had a drink and then left the party to head downtown to meet my friends for late dinner at a restaurant. I paid for my bf's cigarettes, bourbon, and dinner. I also drove. I'm a very considerate person and thought I was doing the right thing because his car broke down recently and he didn't have the money. It's the time of year to be selfless and giving so I guess I fell for that line…
The first half of dinner was fine. I ordered beer for everyone. But progressively bf got more and more rowdy, he was slipping sips from the flask before we were even out on the street. At first he was being a funny drunk (we were all a little tipsy and loud), and my friends didn't seem to be having a negative reaction because the atmosphere was generally lighthearted. I thought nothing of it, why hamper the fun?
Then he started to have a random panic attack when he decided there was too many people in the restaurant.
After this point, his attitude got darker. He started to get critical of the things the male friends in my group were saying and was taking innocent things as an affront. He got increasingly paranoid. He kept leaving to wobble outside and have a cigarette. One of my friends tried to be friendly and relate to him about the anxiety but it didn't seem to help. My group could tell things were getting tense and that we had stayed our fair welcome at the restaurant, so we left and walked towards downtown.
The walk was terrible. He grew belligerent and started shouting in the street. Not shouting goofy drunk things or like "Happy New Year!" but "THERE WILL BE BLOOD IN THE FUCKING STREET!" Someone would brush against him and he would scream "DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME!!!" And not just once, but multiple times. It sounded psychotic and it was embarrassing, it was going beyond having too much to drink and more like what the fuck was wrong with him? I tried to get him calm but no reason would be had by him.
Then he started manhandling me. He would randomly grab me by the head and constantly try to lean on/into me. He was annoying me because he was smudging off my makeup and ruining my hair. I was partially sweating from carrying a quarter of his weight as we walked (did I mention I was in heels?) I kept asking him to stop but he was too drunk to remember my admonishments or give a fuck. The more I rejected this "affection" the more dejected he became. So much that he started to shout at me. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU TAKE ME OUT DRINKING IN PUBLIC!!!" My friends at this point thought it was just the alcohol, but it was getting very personal. I'd never been in public with him before when he was drunk like this. In fact, I had "expected" him to be a fucking adult and not act like a teenager drinking for the first time.
He kept shouting, and shouting, and shouting.
We arrived in line for some bar my friends wanted to be in for the ball drop, but bf wouldn't stop escalating even in the line. It was $15 entrance fee per person.
I don't remember every single thing he screamed in my ear, but I know that I yelled for him to leave me alone finally. He walked away, so affronted that I dare tell him to piss off for treating me poorly. My hand was in a fist, I wanted to punch him across the face so fucking badly. I had tears in my eyes. I don't care how drunk someone is, there's something wrong with their head to treat someone like that! That's when my friends knew this guy was being a mega douche and greatly upsetting me.
He came back when we were about to go inside.
He berated me so much that I was on the verge of crying as I handed my card and ID to the bouncer. I couldn't look the bouncer in the eye, and the bouncer had seen how shitfaced and awful bf was being to me. Even the fucking bouncer felt sorry for me.
As he gave me my ID and card back we proceeded down the hall and bf said some shit to me that made me scream back "LEAVE ME ALONE I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG TO YOU."
I rushed inside behind my friends.
It was twenty minutes before midnight, and I had a thousand yard stare into the ceiling of the place because I couldn't fucking believe this shit was happening. I was surrounded by friends, and seemingly had all these wonderful pictures already posted to social media but I felt so fucking alone and upset. Tears were rolling down my cheeks, I tried not to make a huge scene or be upset. My friends felt really sorry for me.
My phone lit up and it was my bf calling/texting me. Through the noise I gathered he had exited the bar and the bouncer, "the motherfucker," wasn't letting him back inside because of how shitfaced he was. My friends told me he was being toxic and that I shouldn't respond. Bf wanted me to come out because he was having a panic attack again.
Tbh, it wasn't that he guilted me, but I feared he would cause trouble for others outside if I didn't come out. I paid $30 for nothing.
As I exited the bar the bouncer saw me and was clearly concerned. He told me the reason why my bf had been kicked out, which I completely understood and agreed with.
It was a punch in the gut.
When he saw me he fell onto me and started to yell at me for "abandoning" him and started to ugly yell/cry into my shoulder. He kept saying how it was my fault for bringing him out there. I had a depressed expression on my face and strangers all around were giving me looks like "Oh shit, you poor woman." He wasn't calming down.
I spent midnight outside alone, with drunk bf as everyone cheered the new year. I wanted to disappear into the earth.
A street musician, about our age, came by and saw I was distressed and tried to deescalate the situation. He was an angel. He talked to me a bit about himself and we stood around to watch him play. Bf temporarily calmed himself as he found something to do, that is, dance like an idiot. People were filing past as the festivities were over, and I prepped to say goodbye to the musician and add him on facebook.
Turns out, he lived in the same area I did. Bf then gripped my shoulder hard and I could feel him getting angry. As we walked away, he snidely said "So what, is that your fucking new bf now?" It was ridiculous and my patience had run up.
I told him frankly that my feet hurt and all I wanted to do was find my car and take him home. He got angry. He shouted "YOUR FEET HURT?! WHAT ABOUT MY FEET I WORK 8 GODDAMN HOURS!" No, he hadn't worked that day. No, he never worked eight hours in heels. No, he wasn't thinking about how I'd worked 8 hours with tired feet before. None of it had anything to do with the fact that tonight I was the one in heels, with tired feet, with a drunk, and I was just trying to go home.
He got belligerent again as we walked. Except this time he would block my path. I kept telling him to get out of my way. He refused. He wanted to "talk," and by "talk" proceed to scream at me about fucking nonsense because he was a stupid ass drunkard.
He was scaring me and making me uncomfortable. He grabbed my arm and kept impeding my walk.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" I screamed. I called him a fucking kook, since he was skulking around me like a predator. He was causing such a scene with me. Complete strangers from apartment balconies were shouting down "HEY LEAVE HER ALONE!" People from cars were shouting at him to leave me the fuck alone.
I finally made it to my car and got him in it.
Looking back, I should have left him downtown, but I'm not that kind of person. I knew somehow that would only make me the villain even more.
Even though none of it was my fault.
I'm a female, shit is always the woman's fault even when it's not. I didn't want to do anything that anyone could throw at my face later, I wanted this douchebag unequivocally in the wrong.
He shouted at me the entire ride back. I kept asking him to not yell at me, but he wouldn't stop. He just kept on, and on, and on. Whenever I tried to get a word in, he would simply talk over me or shout higher. It was hard for me to concentrate on the road, I decided it was better to be silent. Then, he started to yell at me for being quiet because "THAT'S WHAT MY FUCKING EXES HAD DONE BEFORE THEY LEFT!!1!!" By the time I got to his house to drop him off I was crying hysterically. I told him I was never coming back because of the way he treated me, and that I was going inside to get my stuff.
He proceeded to grab me in my car. I screamed at him to let go, I said no, to get out. He restrained me in the car for what seemed like minutes.
I finally broke free and leaned on my car door sobbing hysterically. He was yelling at me so loudly that neighbors upstairs and from nextdoor came outside. They thought he was battering me based on the commotion and my disheveled appearance. I walked inside to get my things and he broke down on his knees begging me back. Although I knew it was just manipulation, I said to him "You can't honestly expect me to stay here after what you've done?!"
I went back outside to my car and a group of people had gathered, I was still crying and holding my face because it hurt. He said he wanted his cigarettes out of my car, which I allowed him to get. Except when he got to my car he kept asking for me to get in it and wouldn't leave. I pointed my finger and shouted for him to get the fuck out of my car! The neighbors told him to get the fuck out of my car. After several shouts he finally did it, and then I left.
I drove home so flustered I forgot to consider how much gas I had left in my car. During the car ride he called me three separate times to rant and rave. I told him he had ruined new year's and that I would call him if and when I would be ready to talk. He hung up. I made it home with 10 miles of gas to spare at 3am. I couldn't bear to tell my family what happened. I BS'd about how I'd had a great time.
What made it extra painful was that I knew because he was drunk, he wouldn't remember the half of how he abused me ergo feel no remorse.
I was right. He called me today to tell me everything was my fault. Remember how I said everything is a woman's fault no matter what? He said, and I quote: "Did you know you almost got strangers and my neighbors to kill me last night? My neighbors confronted me after you left for 2 hours! You caused me to have a panic attack downtown. You brought me out there! It's your fault! You didn't even care that I got kicked out by that bouncer when all I wanted to do was be with you!"
I told him to shut the fuck up for five minutes and I explained what had actually gone down. Whether he pretended to or not, he acted shocked when I told him.
"…So are you coming back to me today?"
I told him fuck no. I had no gas in my car and I was deeply uncomfortable by him. Why on earth would I do that? Again, I told him I'd call him if and when I was ready but today I wanted peace.
He acted like an entitled brat at that but I didn't care, evidently he had no problem breaking my boundaries so I didn't have a problem squashing his balls. My family overheard everything he did to me and he's on their shitlist now too.
He got his friend to call me and "apologize on his behalf." I understand the friend has good intentions, and told me a bit more about him (apparently has oppositional defiance disorder, etc.) but I don't care.
I'm not his punching bag.
I'm not his psychologist.
I'm not his parents.
I wanted an equal partner to enjoy my holiday with and instead I got stuck with a literal drunk teenager who only cared about his own feelings.
Once again, I've wasted my time, effort, and money on someone who turned out to be a selfish ass and I'm extremely upset by it when at my age I just want a sane partner who can handle their emotions.
I'm so angry and sad and now I have to start all over, and who knows, this may happen to me again with someone else. I'm losing so much trust and faith in people because being a kind person isn't getting me anywhere.

Im happy I took art as an elective while sticking to programming as my core education because a resume / portfolio combo like that always gets you reeled into projects way quicker than just applying for artists positions (especially since anybody can be replaced or switched at the drop of hat, i mean christ in this day you can find artists that p much draw identical to one another that have never seen each others work cause they both derive their tastes from the same nerd shit)
However dont give up, you probably have some modicum of talent and learning new things arent that difficult so just keep expanding yourself. You would be surprised what jobs just land in your lap the more you just get to know people through trying new things etc,

Was just waiting for him to make it all official, we were going to spend christmas together.
I forced myself to have sex with him just to make him happy.
Guy dumped me on christmas and say he would never date me.
I never want to be touched by someone again.

I'm really paranoid about getting pregnant even though I have an IUD and the past few weeks I've had some spotting, really tender breasts, and I've been ridiculously tired.
I'm really terrified and have no money for an abortion

My best friend of what would've been 3 years now no longer wishes to be friends with me. I feel like I should be happy I'm not with some fake bitch like her anymore, but on the other hand it still hurts. I told her practically everything about myself, but I feel like what hurts the worst is that she couldn't even tell me directly. She went behind my back to say she wasn't my friend anymore, and that I was toxic. I wish she had at least told me what stuff I did was toxic. I've just been crying in bed for days, I feel so embarrassed and betrayed when she probably isn't feeling the same right now. Not to mention I'm still on good terms with everyone else in the friend group that we share, they even asked where I've been because I've avoided talking to anyone in fear that I'll make things awkward.
I wish I had learned the lesson that there isn't true friends sooner. I just want everything to be alright again, even if it's only been a few days.

>>348252You're probably not pregnant. If you're that freaked out about becoming pregnant on an IUD (or any kind of birth control really) then don't let men ejaculate inside of you. Get a pregnancy test to check just in case.
Plus if you became pregnant on the IUD there might be some kind of coverage for a medical abortion due to it being very dangerous to be pregnant with an IUD.

We're having less and less sex with my boyfriend as time goes on and it's making me feel emotionally disconnected to him. His libido is naturally lower than mine (he used to jerk off 1-3 times per month before we started going out and even then it was mostly to relieve some pressure), so I can't really help it. I'm not a nympho, I don't have a stronge urge to have sex when I'm single and can easily just rely on masturbation if I want to get off, but I want to have sex with him because it intensifies my love for him so much, it makes me feel connected to him, it makes me feel wanted and loved.
I also have a hard time dealing with feelings of rejection and abandonment and him not wanting to have sex makes me feel like he doesn't want to have sex with me especially. So I'm starting to have pretty strong feelings of self-hatred, I feel like I'm doing something wrong, I'm anxious, I'm paranoid he finds me disgusting and is going to leave me, and when I feel like that I always have a very strong need to revenge the person causing me pain, even if I don't want to. I'm already noticing that I'm being really mean and cold to him when these emotions take over me.
I don't like being this way. I love him so much and he's perfect in every other aspect. It's stupid to feel like this over something like sex, I can't force him, and he is cuddly and makes me feel loved in other ways, I just wish I could adapt to this and feel as comfortable with him as I have in the past.

I've been with my boyfriend for almost four years and he's done a lot of shit over the past few years that make me so angry and I've never told anyone, I feel like I'm at my breaking point right now and I want to find a way out but he's also very suicidal and I'm afraid that if I ended things then it would be the final straw for him. I still love him very much but I'm tired of the way he treats me. There are so many things I want to get off my chest but here's a selection of the shit he's done:
>Yelled at me in a very public, very crowded park after I told him I didn't want to go up to a couple of strangers who were rolling a blunt and ask if we could smoke weed with them, yelled at me when I started crying and asking him to lower his voice saying that "I was embarrassed of him", continues to yell at me while walking back to our car and as we're leaving the city, gets even more upset that I'm curled up in a ball sobbing, tells me I hold him back to which I was so hurt at that point that I tell him to go fuck himself. He immediately pulls over while we're on the freeway and tells me to get out, at which point I start having an anxiety attack. He starts driving again while I'm hyperventilating and the rest of the trip he's silent. When we get home I stay in the car, on the phone with my mom trying to calm myself down, he doesn't apologize until around an hour later.
>Find out from one of his friends of a party they had where they ended up playing a "dirty truth or dare" where he ended up stripping naked. He never told me of this party or the game, and then got upset at me for being upset. "Your idea of fun and my idea of fun are two different things" yet if the roles were reversed I know things would be different
>I struggle with pretty bad social anxiety, this sometimes comes out when we're going out. Despite this, I've worked very hard over to overcome it and know that it doesn't affect me nearly as much as it did when we first started dating. However, there are still some instances where my anxiety is too much, to combat this my boyfriend has always said to tell me when things are too much and we can leave no problem. Except for the fact that when it was a problem, he'd almost always get mad at me which would inevitably bring back the whole "you're holding me back" spiel. I can understand if I became anxious every time we went out, but it's not like that at all.
>Puts in very little effort when it comes to birthdays/holidays, he on the other hand loves gifts so I try very hard to make things special for him. I once overheard him talking on the phone with his grandma that my birthday was coming up, she was sending him some money to take me out for dinner. That never happened. Instead, he blew a large portion of that money on weed. He'll play up my birthday/holidays saying he wants to treat me and make it special but more often then not gets me nothing and then sulks about it saying that he feels bad. This past Christmas was no exception, we were laying in bed and I couldn't get it off my mind and I started crying. When he asked what was wrong, I told him that I was just disappointed, that I didn't want him to feel bad but I had given him ideas to help when he said he didn't know what to get me and that it wasn't the amount of money that mattered at all but the thought that counted. He became angry, told me "thanks I already felt bad enough about it" even though I had never complained about it previously and started yelling at me. I had another anxiety attack and he went into the bedroom next door to "take a nap" but apparently tried to kill himself. He comes out to tell me he's suicidal and just attempted to choke himself with a tie but it was hard to respond because I was still hyperventilating. He eventually tries to help me calm me down but I have to talk him out of his suicidal thoughts for the rest of the day.
>Frequently feels like his life is going nowhere, cites old instances of my anxiety to continue the point that "I hold him back". This is confusing because every time he says that I hold him back he always takes it back when he cools down, but then brings it back up when he's mad again. He says he "doesn't actually know". The problem? He wants to get up and move somewhere far away, with me. He has no money saved up, no connections and a car thats old and has its fair share of problems. I'm in school. I tell him that I want to move, but after I finish school later this year. "What am I supposed to do for a year?"
>I'm sad, he's horny. He starts trying to fuck me but I tell him that I don't want to, he continues taking my clothes off because "Yes you do, you do want to". I say our safeword, he stops for a second saying that we don't have to, but then starts back up again. I start crying and repeatedly say the safeword, he stops but is poking me with his erection as he tries to calm me down. I get up and he asks if I can help him jack off.
He's very loving most of the time but it's gotten to a point where I'm legitimately terrified to get him upset because he's very explosive when he gets mad. A lot of yelling, throwing things around, slamming doors, driving erratically. I have to mentally prepare to bring things up with him because it almost always is guaranteed to start a fight. He knows he has toxic traits and has tried to work through them but he said it's hard and there's a lot of times he doesn't want to try because it's hard work. He also said that he can't help how mad he gets because that's just how he is and he feels like he can't properly express that because of how scared and sad I get when it happens.

This isn't even a gender thing, if you were a guy with such a gf I'd say the same. Just what does he even do for you at all? Words of affirmation? He lies to you, disrespects your boundaries, and doesn't even put effort into birthday gifts.
And regarding his anger and mental health issues, he should be getting help and working through it himself. As an adult he's making a choice to spiral and if you need to escape for your own health I don't blame you.

came home on my lunch break to find my two year old cat laying in the middle of the floor and meowing loudly in pain. i rushed him into the emergency vet and they told me he had a clot in his back legs. nothing much they could do about it as it would be a recurring thing and just become increasingly painful for him until it eventually killed him. Of course i opted to have him put down but goddamn I didn't anticipate it being so painful. i stayed with him for upwards of an hour after he passed, until his body started getting cold. i feel so stupid crying this much over him but i loved him so much. he was the first cat that i'd raised from a kitten. i even bottle fed him when we first got him. i dont know what else to say here. I just really miss my cat.

>>348482I have had exactly the same experience anon; it's the worst near the start, when you don't really know if it's you, them, or another factor. I also felt very insecure, frustrated etc, but as time went on, I realised it wasn't my fault at all, and its likely the case with you too.
Some factors to consider:
>men can't cum as much as women>if he's the dominant one, he's likely doing most of the work, so he can't be bothered "exercising" even if he is a bit horny>he may not think its all that important to youThe last one is usually the main cause, especially if you're too afraid to bring it up. The stereotype is that women never want sex, and its always the men pushing for it. He may even think he's doing you a favour by not trying for sex when he's horny.
Try to bring up the issue in a nonconfrontational way. Just tell him how you feel, and ask how he feels about it. If he loves you he will be willing to hear you out.

I've been so close to suicide several times over the past year and I'm not handling life at all.
I've told my family and everyone repetitively that somethings got to change, that eventually I'm going to hang myself after a bad day and there will be no coming back. They're all worried sick about it, ringing me up and checking up on me. But at the other end, whenever I try and pack up my life and take time off through selling my house and downgrading on my expenses, they come out of the woodwork and shame me for 'throwing everything away' and 'giving up'.
I feel so stuck and just hate everything! I think about just getting in my car and driving away all the time…But I just can't do it, and I can't get a handle on my head and I'm barely making enough to cover my mortgage. I really do think I'm going to die, because I have a near foolproof suicide plan that is simple and gets around my survival instincts(set up a chair under a tree, make sure it's on uneven ground, hang a noose around my neck tight and drink back a full bottle of vodka with QuickEaze. Eventually you'll get so trashed you'll lose balance and hang yourself).
All it will take is ONE miserable day for me to snap and do it, and I fucking know it, and I've told them all, my mum was in tears just hours ago as I tried to explain it. But at the same time it's too much to put up with them shaming me, to watch all my assets be sold off, to see everything I've struggled for disappear.
I've been incarcerated twice over the past year for failed attempts, one was where I broke into a vet in order to steal their euthanizing agent, the second was when they seen me building up the courage to jump from a building. I'm forced to borrow money from them to keep on living, because some days I'm just too far gone to even function at work. I hate it, I hate everything, I wish I could fucking travel back in time and tell my 18 year old self to be a fucking NEET.

I can guarantee your social anxiety will get 80% better after you dump him. I have a mental illness and was stressing a lot, but when I dumped him most of the symptoms of my mental illness cleared up and I stopped stressing.

Protect him when he's young and vulnerable yes, but as he grows older he will not be so ignorant of what's happening around him. Sheltering kids can harm them all the same.

I personally would be more concerned with a guy that was driven insecure about a twitch zoomer seeing his girlfriend's cleavage, than your boyfriend, that's more 'cuck' (or at least irrationally paranoid about being a cuck) in my eyes.

My narc mom emptied out my wallets without my realizing because she always had an excuse to "borrow" money. My best friend helped me see this wasn't normal. Things have been very good since I moved out, I don't feel trapped anymore.

I feel like my bf is responsible for assassinating my character and it pisses me off how he doesn't give me credit for the times I've helped him out majorly or how I'm a person he wants to be with. Because doing so would call for him owning up to his mistakes, taking a bruise to his male ego, and asserting that his parents are incorrect in their assessment of me.
He turns around and tells me all the nasty, unfounded shit his parents have said about me and it really hurts my feelings because what they say isn't who I am at all and they don't really know me. I've asked him why he doesn't ever stand up for me and he says that "his parents aren't ones to be corrected." So he just allows this, I guess. It makes me feel that he's spineless, and furthermore, doesn't really care as long as it doesn't rock the boat of his own image.
As much as my bf has fucked me over at times, I've always wanted my family and friends to like him–can't understand what kind of person wouldn't want this for their partner.
Obviously, I don't trust his parents at all now and I no longer really value their opinions because of the unfounded things they've said. But it's too late for the things that have already happened, and now I'm anxious to deal with strangers who've got all the wrong ideas about me which, if I continue this relationship, will not make things easy in the future. It's like walking on constant eggshells.
Worst of all they act nice to my face, so if I say something they have a problem with they never politely tell me. They wait until I'm gone to turn over to my bf and say their piece.
Ex. I have an incredibly strained relationship with my narcissistic mom and it doesn't help that I've been living at home temporarily. Apparently bf's mom didn't like how I made a joke about my house feeling like a nursing home due to the sterile decor and the fact that my mom is in her 60s and is starting to exhibit senile behaviors. Bf told me she said I had threatened to "Put my mom in a nursing home," and for that reason I was an "angry" person.
When I said how she was twisting my words and clearly misremembering what I'd actually said, bf said his mom "never lies." Implying I do. I don't ever want to say anything to her again regarding my own life because I have no idea what kind of unfair judgements she'll cook up next. She's one of those assholes who can't conceptualize how not everyone has a great relationship with their parents and how that's not always the child's fault.
Ex. Bf acted out and was extremely aggressive to me over the holidays to the point where I was crying and dropped him off at his apartment. I was considering ending the relationship. He freaked out, and in a drunken panic, decided to unload by calling every single friend who would listen to his tirade and his family about how I was "abandoning" him among other things. All I said when I dropped him off was that I needed a day and I would call him when I was ready. He didn't even remember all the fucked up shit he said and did to me because he was so drunk. So when he ranted to everyone his narrative was that he was the victim bc he legitimately believed that.
He later apologized when I told him all the fucked shit he did to me, but of course, didn't go back to correct the story to everyone he ranted to because that would mean he would have to own up and be embarrassed by his actions.
He told me what his mom said when he cried to her, how "he could have anybody" and "don't even answer her call" (even though he's the one who wound up calling me early). I'm sure he's not telling me the worst of the stuff she said because for all she knew from his perspective I was some thundercunt who was ending the relationship for no good reason.
Ex. Bf always complains to me about how his parents never visit him. He claims they're racists, and because he lives in a rundown black neighborhood they won't come. It's true I've never seen them make an effort, but they get hurt if he doesn't go see them. I've been driving him out to them to visit recently because his car is out of commission. On our last visit they were mentioning how their new employment was really close by to my bf's place so I made an innocent comment "Oh that's great! Now you can go see him now." Bf later told me they took extreme offense to this because they felt called out.
Why?
I could give others examples about how I've objectively helped my bf out and how he never gave me credit in front of his parents, but those examples above are the absolute worst of how I've been getting crucified over stupid things.
I understand that Mama Bears™ have the natural instinct to stan for their offspring, but I don't want a second mom who secretly resents me and will blame me for her son's shortcomings while never crediting me for all the nice stuff I've done for him.
I don't want another familial enemy.
I told him if they talk shit behind my back, I don't want to hear about it again unless it's how he told them it's not true. My relationship feels so spoilt now and I'm not sure if I even want this anymore. It's fucked up.

I wish I could browse Bestgore without the ultra cringey woman-hating narrative latched onto every single post and every single comment. It all reads like out-of-touch unfunny boomers mixed with 4chan teenagers, and the whiney eagerness to screech "s-see women are violent too!" is so transparent when 99% of the content is male on male violence. I can't even go near videos that feature women because it's all so much more cringey to read. Too bad the manhate threads are ruined or I'd have so much content for it.

Even though I'm doing all the things I thought was unimaginable to me a few years ago (going out, making friends, travelling, etc.), I still feel sad most of the time and can't stop suicidal thoughts from reoccurring.
I recently stopped taking antidepressants (I was on fluoxetine), which might be the cause of this getting slightly worse, but I don't want to start taking them again, I hate the concept of having to depend on some medication in order to function properly. For clarification I had these thoughts even when I was on them, only difference was that I had no random crying fits.
The other thing is that I can't stop comparing myself to others. Every person my age is already getting married, having kids and the fact that I'm not makes me feel like there is something wrong with me. Although deep inside I know that even if I had their lives and was getting married, etc. that wouldn't stop me from feeling worthless inside. I feel like I could have everything in the world and I would still feel like a miserable, worthless piece of trash.

Whether or not she has a boyfriend has nothing to do with her irrational mental state, it’ll happen regardless to people.
Anon, you need to keep talking to your therapist and trust her - what is the fucking point of paying someone to help you if you don’t actually let them help you. And if you don’t trust her enough to help you, then perhaps you need to find a therapist. But my point is that. You. Need. Help.

When I speak to my bf about ANY group of people (in this case, trannies) that I dislike, he's always playing the defensive for them, and ends up being sarcastic to me in defense of them, and ends conversations like that. Like, "Sure", "Right", etc. Is it me or is this unnecessarily rude? Am I allowed to be upset about this? Because, honestly, it really hurts my feelings.
For example, I said that they all have NPD (they do, obviously), and I told him about Blanchard's typology. He basically ended up telling me I'm cherry picking, that the typology probably isn't representative of anything, that they're just mentally ill and suffering, and that the NPD violent troons aren't representative of male troons.
I would think it's suspect and that he's a chaser if he didn't do this shit to over LITERALLY ANY group of people I complain about.
Anyways, so he then responds to me with a dismissive 'Right', and that's it, after I've said that you must have NPD to demand everyone cater to your every whim with the threat of suicide hanging over their heads.
Am I allowed to be upset at this? I'm honestly tired of being spoken to with disdain and sarcasm when I'm complaining about a group of people because he needs to preach about how "they're not all like that!!".
Do you want to date them, or me? Like, what the fuck. Disagree with me all you want, but why do you have to be sarcastic and rude about it?
Am I allowed to be upset about this? Why is everyone else important enough to treat me dismissively over it? I don't treat him like this over shit I disagree with him on

I don't mind him disagreeing at all. What I mind is the sarcasm when it isn't called for, just because he thinks my opinion is too "extreme".

And I'm just casually talking to him. I'm not chiseling a publicly palatable speech here. I don't feel that everything I say about needs to be interjected with "BUT THEY'RE NOT ALL LIKE THAT!!!!" and then be treated dismissively over it. He literally does the "BUT NOT ALL MEN!" bullshit about everyone, especially men, though he isn't an MRA. It's annoying.

>>350692Thank you! Exactly. Your response really makes me feel better. Like, if you're THAT annoyed or upset by my opinion that you're willing to upset me by rudely dismissing me like that, at least go all out and make a debate out of it. I can't debate for shit, but that's not the point. He just 'knows' I'm wrong and that he's right because my opinion is too extreme.
And he really hurt me very recently by telling me that talking to me is "a fucking chore" because I committed the grievous crime of missing him, which he knows I'm still really upset about (and yet he hasn't apologized for it), so I'm sure he had to have known I would be further upset by him dismissing me just to defend some group of people that he doesn't have any personal stake in. It's just rude, imo. I don't answer anyone I disagree with like this. If I don't care enough about the issue to formally make my case, why should I upset someone with a snarky answer?
>>350686Thank you. I agree. It just feels very much like he prefers to be 'right' over not making me feel dismissed and dejected, but even worse, because he doesn't even make a case for why I'm actually wrong. I just 'feel' wrong to him because it's an 'extreme' opinion and he thinks the law of averages dictates that these are just the few crazy people that end up standing out.

Therapy is definitely the long-term goal but being around others and focusing on something other than yourself with them sounds really helpful.

We're talking here about guys in their late 20s, 30s, 40s having fantasies of engaging with young schoolgirls here and getting a thrill from having replies and making other anons here upset. Forward a few years and every time there's a raid, there's a high chance that some idiot made a thread there trying to "bring sense" into us or even calling for a raid. They like stirring trouble aka race-baiting and shitposting.
But those people are sick. Even sicker than r9ks. Not only is CP allowed there, but if you protest against it, you get banned. There are often mind disturbing women-hate threads that never get locked with lots of gore and porn dumping of women being treated in the most violent way and the users there encourage it.
These men lurk here so often but still think of themselves highly, giving patronizing advice on what they think is the best life for us aka getting married and pumping out kids even if they are in most cases neet or barely take care of themselves. I could go on and on but in short, they have this disturbing obsession with this site and spend an unhealthy amount of time here and other sites dealing with women's issues.

On the other hand, now it looks like they're not even deleting male posts, just sticking the cute little robot pixel under them like in the early days when the site was slower/smaller. Why, I have no idea. Only a robot would really take issue with their worthless, sometimes disgusting (eg, rape, gore) posts being removed. I hope they have a good reason for this change of heart (like evidence for future reference?).
Also, if the whole thread as a concept is really "banned until further notice" (in a farmhand's words), screeching about "femcels" whenever anyone says anything even slightly not-nice about men should definitely be hampered in the vent, unpopular opinions, annoying, etc threads. Like it or not, farmers don't exactly worship men. This was never a space for them, neither was it created to be male-friendly (and they certainly don't afford us any of that respect on their sites), so I don't see why that should be an issue. As long as the response to anyone saying "My boyfriend argued with me today" isn't automatically "Dump him, all men are trash who must die", it should be fine.

I only caught the start of that thread yesterday but it's obvious a man created it solely to start shitting on us, the spergy misogyny started the instant it was made. Why are we punished for it?
Can we at least have a feminism thread? Or specifically a radfem thread? The manhate thread was never just used to hate men, it existed to talk about all the ways in which men hate women. Same thing really, we hate men for murdering and abusing us, and they do those things because they hate women.

Not a single man would consider or advocate for shutting down women hate threads, no women invade men's sites to ruin it for them, yet here you are coming to their defense and trying to get women to stop talking about our experiences. As always we're punished for male behaviour, and we're always the ones making concessions and being quiet just to avoid backlash.
I don't like trashy nitpicky /snow/ threads but I don't demand they get shut down to remove bitchy ana chans or nasolabial fold spergs or whoever I don't like, if you don't like the threads you can just avoid them. And mods can do their jobs to get rid of incels.

>>351048Where do you shop anon? Not being bitchy, I genuinely need some suggestions. I'm the OP and my big issue is proportions, mostly for pants. I have wider spaced hips but a small waist and wider thighs. When I do find small stuff it tends to be leggings or very tight skinny jeans but I can't find regular, work appropriate pants anymore. Kids and most juniors stuff is out because of my hip proportions and adult pants that hot my hips right are weird and baggy at the top because they're designed for someone with a bit of belly. J Crew's sizing is the worst for this. I don't know who they think they're kidding with their "00s".
5'3" 100 lbs so I'm also between petite length and regular length, but that's a generally easy hem fix.

I agree with but at the same time I think the man hate thread is fair because it's women hate all over the internet. Like if we go on any website there is tons of women hate topics,even if a man doesn't hate women he doesn't care or feel the need to say "not all women" but everyone rushes to mens defense I think the question we need to be asking is why is making fun of women or bashing women so normalized?

I HATE how overly sexualized Bayonetta is. I'm replaying it and it makes me so sad because it's still like, the best hack and slash out there, but I can't stomach the unnecessary objectification, and even if this wasn't a feminist issue, I would NOT EVER like to see a male video game character sexualized and objectified like this. Like, half of the fucking game is dedicated to tit shots and body oogling and stuff. It's just a waste of time, and all of her moves are centered around her body/are sexual, which makes just trying to complete the game a nightmare itself. It's not even just cut scenes. It's literally everything. And when I try to see if people agree, everyone out there is like "it's not objectification or overly sexualized at all! she ENJOYS her sexuality, that's what makes her so feminist!! that's how sh demonstrates POWER! one of her designers WAS A WOMAN!!!". It's so infuriating. Like, deny more subtle objectification, sure, but this is COMPLETELY undeniable.
Like, I'm just trying to beat the crap out of foes. I'm so tired of everything being so pornified. I just wish everything was basically family friendly. This shit really makes me want to vote with the Christian right almost. I just want like basically all sexual shit censored and done away with in all media.

She is the perfect example of unnecessary objectification. She can be a strong femdom type without literally half of the game, including literally all of her fucking moves, being porny shit. The sexualized shots and zoom ins and cinematics that are just pure ogling take up so much fucking time it isn't even funny. She can be strong and domineering without THIS much of the game dedicated to it. You and
>>351195 sound male. Bayonetta isn't even necessarily a slut, and I think a woman wouldn't call her 'slutty'. She's 'seductive', but there's no indication given that she's actually super promiscuous or anything. Seriously, the story line would not suffer, AT ALL, if it was toned down by literally 95%.
Just because a woman "uses her sexuality" doesn't mean it's actually empowering. The fact that she's attractive doesn't actually kill her foes, like, you realize this, right? The 'taunts' are stupid and unnecessary anyways and it'd be fine without the taunt moves. Keep the excuses and the porn out of video games.

>>351211there are no games that i've found have the same fighting style. the game would be better without the sexual shit. idek why you guys are so invested in defending what couldve been a 10/10 game if it wasn't turned into nearly a glorified interactive softcore porno. the unnecessary sexual shit detracts from otherwise great media. it does not add to movies or games to me. it detracts. it's a detraction from the storyline and is purely a waste of time. if i wanted to watch porn, i would watch porn.

I need someone to hold me over the internet.
I'm smoking weed at bf's buddy's house, and the friend has a girlfriend. These people are older than us, but bf likes them because he sees the male as a mentor.
Anyway I'm talking to the lady and she starts showing me her makeup. It's bad but I'm polite, I don't squash people over shit they're passionate about. She was showing me how she disguised her black eye with purple eyeshadow this evening. I assumed she just had uneven makeup, but I said I was impressed–not doing it to be fake, just felt bad to be mean.
I tried shifting subject because idk if the eye bruise was going to set off a touchy subject, so I asked her if she wanted to see a picture of my goth makeup?
She said yeah. So I pulled up my Facebook and show her my profile pic with the full face o slap.
She's breathless. She runs over to her man and says "LOOK AT THIS MAKEUP! THIS WAS ANON WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER!"
…I took that pic for a concert over the summer. I stabbed myself internally.
It occurred to me that my makeup and photos make me look beautiful when irl I look haggard. I meekly mentioned how I'd done the look over the summer, and she tried to soften it by saying "Oh, no, it's just–your chin."
I want to be a ghost right now. So I'm one of those people that people make fun of behind their back about how they look like shit. Jeeeesus. Like I admit I've blurred my skin and changed a color tone, but god damn it's not like I liquified myself into a princessu.

Today is a shitshow for me, Christ. I always feel like a failure (for going to community college and not being able to drive - family problems and failures). I'm pressured by my parents to succeed, I'm always going to be grateful for what they've sacrificed for me and my siblings.
I was yelled at by my mother, to the point where I broke down crying and I'm 20 (on break from CC, disabled brother, emotional sister). I'm fucking alone. Academic rigors and my mental issues stagger me, I don't have no one to talk me… I'm alone and depressed. I work during school, took night courses this semester (9-5) – I feel like a burden. I don't know how anons strive and pick themselves up after being a failure like me, I feel so much pressure and anxiety. I'm privileged to have a decent family life and a nice childhood, don't get me wrong. The imposer syndrome is real and I feel super inadequate compared to my peers (I'm eldest and being the burden here).
I'm fucking exhausted, I'm only 20. I come from a Hispanic upbringing, the focus on pressures to succeed and academic excellence is strong.
I hope the anons reading this know that their not alone and seek help, unlike my situation (unfortunately). Thanks for reading and I'm pretty ambivalent about my life for now (I know that I'd likely move-on from this but I'm succumbing to my doubts and past).
If you have any experience like me, I hope you reply. I feel isolated and the motivation isn't there (counseling helped but only for a moment).

i lied to my bf at the very beginning of our relationship while still dealing with my abusive family and very serious financial issues (family and i very near homelessness), mental health and body issues, etc. i spoke to guys that i didn't even like, to feel cared for and to be given positive attention because all my life i'd been bombarded with abuse and negativity from my family, and from everyone else, practically. the only people that treated me kind of nice were ones that were attracted to me, so it felt comforting, especially while still dealing with constant abuse, even if i wasn't attracted to them. i never liked these guys romantically or sexually. i really needed affection and positive attention during the time, but i felt very pressured to be somewhat sexual with these guys.
i guess this is an extra sensitive issue because i turned him down to just talk to guys for attention, because he was promising me too much, like, things i felt were too good to be true, and he said them too fast and promised too much, and i also felt he was very selfish, at the time. for someone that has been through a lot of trauma and feels cursed/chronically unlucky, someone coming to you, when both of you are very young, and quickly promising you the world and to save you almost feels cruel, because you know it's not going to happen, even if he had good intentions and truly meant it, we were both very young and i was positive he didn't know what he was promising me and how cruel it can feel to have someone tell you things you never thought were possible for your life and promise you them and them expect you to trust it for no reason.
i lied about things in relation to these guys because he assumes that i liked these guys so much, and that i genuinely wanted to be sexual with them, when i didn't, and now he thinks i am some kind of evil villain that manipulates to no end, and just lies constantly. i spoke to a lot of guys, but i truly was not attracted to them, and i didn't sleep around. the worst thing i did was show one guy a typically non sexual part of my body that he asked to see, and one other guy, my breasts. i have spoken about sexual things with guys, but i really wasn't into them, and would typically cut off conversation when they wanted me to show more and more, or when they wanted me to have phone sex or masturbate with them or something. i just really needed any kind of positive attention at the time. he acts like i'm a huge slut and that i've slept with or shown like a million guys my body or have done things with a million guys.
i lied about things because i was very, very insecure and afraid of his judgement, and his assumptions, and now i can't escape it. even inconsequential things, EVERYTHING, he refuses believe, many years on.
the thing that bothers me is that if you want to repair a relationship, you have to TRY to believe your partner in order to regain trust in them. he refuses to TRY. everything i tell him is automatically assumed to be a lie. because i told him this at the beginning of our relationship, it has tainted everything else in the relationship. four years on and he assumes everything is the same. it hurts me so much. he assumes like, all flirting means you want to fuck the person you were flirting with or are attracted to them. it did feel comforting flirting and stuff to feel desired, but it had nothing to do with attraction, but he refuses to believe that this kind of stuff can be motivated by anything but attraction, and he offers me no leeway in, you know, reasons why i might have lied to prevent him assuming too much, especially when he doesn't particularly understand me and especially when he has never been through the things i've been through and he doesn't understand how it's difficult just trying to cope with lifelong abuse and a barrage of other terrible crap life throws at you.

I just want to get a bf with similar opinions to me (equal opportunity, judge individuals) and shut myself away from it all. It's tiring.

>>351555>I swear it was more equal and less ridiculous in the early 2000s and even 2010-13Yeah I feel the same. Especially because I first discovered feminism in the early 2000s and people were discussing real issues that women faced like the pay gap, sexual assault, domestic violence, oppressive practices in other countries etc. Now I feel that if I brought these things up men would take offence or I'd be accused of being a radfem because I'm not including transwomen or I'd be racist because I'm not respecting people's culture. I even remember more men getting involved in the conversation and being open, now it's just "Yeah but what about the perspective of the man???" Men especially will take literally any arbitrary comment and act like it's a personal attack on them.
I somehow managed to hit the jackpot and found a guy who shares all my views. What spurred me to make the post is that he was complaining about the gender war this morning. I'd say find a guy who has more female friends than male friends because they tend to be more sympathetic and are probably more open to listening to your problems, rather than dismissing them as "SJW garbage". I don't think my bf knew of all the shit women face until he met me and now he talks about how shit all his male friends are lol. We constantly talk about moving to an island where none of this exists and just surrounding ourselves with dogs instead of people. That would be my ultimate goal in life.

I'd opened a diary Twitter a few weeks ago to log down my daily activities. If I talked to my crush that day, I'd write about it, name included. Out of stupidity, I hadn't realized that my account wasn't private for a good two weeks, after mentioning him a few times already. Statistically, I know there's almost no way he could've found it, but the anxiety that he might have is killing me. He has a super unique name, so a simple name search would've had me in the top several search results. I think what freaks me out more is the fact that it's so blatantly traceable back to me. Like, one look at the account and it's so obvious it's mine. Again, I know the chances are super low that he saw anything (who even looks themself up on Twitter?), but his radio silence on Twitter is having me grinding my teeth. I'm just hoping to god he comes back to message me like he saw nothin'. Sigh.

In a sane world, mixed people would just be seen/described as mixed, but because they were passed off as black for so long, now there are autists who are determined to keep it that way and "claim" them because they think it makes their race look better or something. The issue is, they still want to "fight" other aspects of racism at the same time, so they either end up treating mixed people like shit internally, or pathologically worshiping them and fetishizing them like creeps. Everyone else is tired of it.

majority of ftms are women who dont conform to stereotypes in various ways like personality, clothing style, sexuality and more. some women also believe that they can escape the pain of their sexual trauma by becoming male and its their fault because they were female they were hurt (not true). its a dangerous mindset. you can also make sure your friends think very carefully and read every single side effect on T. im sorry your friends are like this anon, i hope they grow out of it soon and make peace with their bodies.

Adults who rage and get angry over games disgust me. I can kind of understand when it's a kid or a teenager because they don't yet have a good grip on their emotions, but as an adult, they have options instead of automatically losing their shit over something virtually retarded.
I had to take a break from playing a nostalgic MMO because some asshat got pissed and started namecalling because I crashed and slew one enemy at a popular grind spot. I got the loot that I came for, but the entire time this bro was at my character sarcastically saying how "omg liek taking 5evurrr nuuub" because my low archery skill was taking a longer time to kill the enemy. Same combat skill as the bro too. I didn't say anything back, just did a few sarcastic emotes because what a fucking tweaker. What makes it extra retarded is that this person likely crashed the person before them, and would have crashed anybody else on any other server because the spot is too busy and popular. I world hopped bunches and people are always there, so it just becomes a game of trying to grab what one can–but of course people have to take it so damn personally because heaven forbid the pixels aren't reserved specifically for their character at all times!
There's children who are better at the concept of letting someone else have a turn.

Saged for autism but Resident Evil 2 looks like absolute dog shit and I hate that I'm so torn up about it. The thing is that Resident Evil has been a near and dear franchise for me for over a decade with Resident Evil 2 being my favorite of the classic titles, and it feels like the remake is absolutely shitting on its legacy. That's not even going into the colossal disappointment that was Resident Evil 7 which shouldn't have been a numbered title in the first place.
Undoubtedly, though, the positive reception is going to give them incentive for a Resident Evil 3 remake. Sometimes it feels like I've been playing a different series when people go on to praise the new era of Resident Evil games.

>>353081Romance is a tool used by men in order to have access to sex and female bodies 24/7. How many men would continue their relationships with their female partners if they couldn't have sex with them whenever and wherever they wanted?
Romance is not real in a modern sense.
Who is directing all of the romcoms we're supposed to emulate?
Who owns Hallmark?
What companies profit from Valentine's Day and who owns them?
Who is profiting from all of this ~sexual empowerment~?
Who is profiting when they make women overwhelmingly desire heterosexual relationships?
Who is profiting when society dismisses and discourages women only communities?
Your body is trying to help you understand something. Romance and love with men is an illusion. Your anger shouldn't be directed towards the loss you feel from not finding it, but from being deceived about the impossible nature of loving men fully.

In a way I agree, women should focus more on other women and make female communities very tight knit again. We should have eachothers backs as we can better understand each other since we have many of the same struggles (both biological and social) and at risk of generalising there are many female majority hobbies and interests that women could easily bond over

I mean jesus, look at this thread. The suffering that results from having a romantic male partner is staggering.

I know its very ayyenyion baity to talk about committing suicide online…like lol jusy shut up and kill youself, right?
But not really. I think during this month or the next i am going to go through with committing suicide. I feel so stupid, crying as i type this because i still have strong fears of not knowing what is after death. I believe know they must ho SOMEWHERE. I've died twice during medical operations and it wasn't peaceful or calm. It was like impending fucking doom and like my deceased friends were yhere both yimes trying to tell me something very urgent, but i was revived bofh those times and never got the message they were so desperately trying to tell me.
Ive tried talking to people i know about it and how i still feel signs they are trying to speak to me through them, but you'd be surprisedat the cold responses people will give you to this and how it's apparently just PTSD from the operations and their deaths, but i dunno man….i just wanna leave here. I am not fully a human anymore. Im a 26 year old with too many disabilitys to take care of myself physically or financially, my partner who i live with makes fun of me for this and calling me a dreg of society, starting shoving me and choked me two days ago. This all happened after i started standing up for myself and pointing out how he was treating me was wrong..gets even more agressive and pushing me onto the floor while saying oh suck it up a barely pushed you…thats not the point. It hurts my feelings. And i can't leave. My familys health insurance just ended and he will be paying for mine and because i have a lot of thinga im always ending up at the doctors or psychiatrists for, i would be a fool to not take the offer. I have nowhere else to go and i have no way to pay as I'm having trouble getting my disablity processed.
Speaking of family, my parents cast me out from their home after they snooped through my brothers phone and found out i had an abortion so i had to go back to my now partner fhat i mentioned earlier who i had just broken up with because he wanted sex right after my abortion and it hurt and i said no and he kicked me out at that time. So getting back together was weird. And has currently gotten to the point where he is so cruel in what he says and does that i know he does not love me and is just using me constantly for blowjobs and sex, he made me cut off all my friends because I'm bisexual, my family won't speak to me, i don't leave my house because im scared to go outside. I'm too ugly and everyone is always staring at my body covered with huge scars. I miss my friends that passed away terribly. Especially mason. I miss you buddy.

not even just a man being truly loyal to a woman, but treating women in general like we aren't different. i have a cousin like this, never makes a "lol women!" joke. he hangs out with women and men equally, there's no romantic feelings drama or anything.

For me it stems from the fact that I usually try to save and hang on to a relationship, because hello I care and I get invested even if I think the guy is being a jackass.
Yet the way some men move on so quickly makes me think they jump ship as soon as things get uncomfortable, unlike how women are conditioned to forgive and excuse men plus sacrifice our emotional well being for them all the time. Also they probably don't work on what made them shitty in the short time before they hop into someone else's life and continue with the same shitty behavior.
It bothers me because I know most women are genuinely reflective and considerate when they deliberate the end of a relationship, but it's not necessarily the case for men.

I know some anons here don't like LSA since some people from there started cropping up here without even trying to fit in, so I'm not expecting sympathy, I just need to vent. I personally only started using LSA semi-recently, but I've been a farmer since Lolcow began. This still made me sad, though. I know there are a handful of /pol/ spergs and LARPing robots here who will probably get a kick out of this, too, but I can't be arsed to care. I just wonder how many of them might have come from LSA, on top of the ones who come here because /r9k/ keeps talking about us.
It's just been revealed that one of Lipstick Alley's mods may be a male /pol/tard. And I mean actual /pol/, as in people found an archived thread from 2018 where the person admits to what they've been up to, laughs about how easy it is to infiltrate black forums because the mods are typically useless and won't police themselves, and asks for some help to pass down his account to other /pol/tards, not some "The hacker known as 4chan" nonsense. They claim to be a mod on three different sites (LSA being one) and that they've been posting under a fake identity for each one for at least 6 hours a day every day for 3 years. He outright said he was trying to "subvert the forum" using mod powers. A year back, it was revealed that David Duke, grand wizard of the KKK, lurked LSA, and it caused a bit of a shitstorm. A user made a thread about it, and the admin (Condi) replied to it, denying any white supremacist presence. In the end, she said she "felt neutral" about David Duke. This is already kind of weird, because LSA is a forum mostly targeted at black women. It's like the admin of a site for Jewish women saying she "feels neutral" about Adolf Hitler, or like if the admin on LC said she "felt neutral" about those two women who were murdered and beheaded by men in Morocco.
A thread was made about the mod issue yesterday, demanding answers about how how this could happen, how modding even works and what would be done about it. No moderators were named, attacked or harassed, but a lot of us were shocked and wanted answers. Instead of addressing it, the admin (or a mod) locked it without comment, in stark contrast to how the David Duke thread was handled. This thread made it to 3 pages of users speculating and waiting for an answer before getting shut down.
I always felt like LSA was off, and it wouldn't even be the first time someone there was "exposed" (though it was never someone on the moderation team) but this was still a hard pill to swallow. You'd think the worst of it was celebrities and their shills lurking, monitoring things and paying the site to make certain things "go away", or information getting sold. The fact that they were retarded, incompetent or possibly malicious enough to let some mentally ill /pol/tard become a mod is wild. I know (or hope) that no matter how bad Lolcow gets, they'd at least never let a fucking /pol/tard male catfishing with three different identities become a mod, then censor discussion and go silent when anons want an explanation.
It feels like soon, there really will be no safe place for women to speak freely online. Certain men just can't resist invading any "girl's club" they find, doubly so if any racial elements are involved. It's like ants to sugar. I hope at least Lolcow and CC will continue to exist without being compromised, no matter how much we may fight or bitch about moderator decisions.

>>353605They shut down man hating threads a total of 10 times, out of those 10 times, only 1 or 2 did they legitimately shut them down because of bait
Man hating threads were some of our most popular and loved threads here, it was a way for anons to escape especially due to all the misogyny that runs through the internet and the rest of the planet (and the fact people still deny blantant misogyny even happens despite hoards of evidence or treat it like a non-issue), if lolcow loses traffic because of this, they deserve it
Gaslight all you want, the fact that it started with leaving male posts up,including gore and rape videos, for several hours straight, only banning spergy violent males for 24 hours, but other anons for weeks simply for disagreeing with other anons, just to later ban the threads and topic all together for no reason at all, screams male, and there's definitely shady shit going on with the mods

The mods do not ban males for 24 hours, it's been repeatedly stated that they ban them permenantly.
The man-hating threads have been getting locked because there are not enough hands to moderate and referee that shitshow.
Are you so unhinged that you can't wait a couple of weeks patiently for the admin transition to take place? Is posting meme images from random males twitters and facebooks to get off to outrage and victimhood so important to you?
Wait until the mods say it's okay to make the thread. Take your grievances to /meta/. Accussing the farmhands and mods of being male is one thing, why don't you apply for a janitor/mod then?

>The mods do not ban males for 24 hours, it's been repeatedly stated that they ban them permenantly.They stated it once over a year ago, and the same exact scrot has a habit of leaving for 24 hours and coming back, it's been this way for MONTHS, if he was ban invading there would be no need to do that, but I guess I'm just an evil unhinged man hating woman what do I know
>Are you so unhinged that you can't wait a couple of weeks patiently for the admin transition to take place?That makes literally no sense at all, especially since mods just left it at banning man hating band not a mod transition like you claim, I'm assuming you're American because they're the type to snap at anyone who demands change for better just to wonder why everything falls to shit when they rely on everything to fix itself
>Wait until the mods say it's okay to make the thread. Take your grievances to /meta/.That's the thing, no one knows if mods will ever say it's okay again, you drew this conclusion from literally nowhere especially since mods have a habit of banning topics and never reallowing them, hell even the Lilly thread is banned and it's been 2 years, although you'll probably be happy us ebul crazy wahmen aren't calling pure innocent men out ever
Also this is a vent thread, therefore I'm allowed to vent, don't like it then leave, don't like people insisting change instead of just "waiting for it" and wondering why it never happens, leave, your whole philiosphy is a joke, do you have a lot of participation awards?
>Accussing the farmhands and mods of being male is one thing, why don't you apply for a janitor/mod then?I have, several anons have and several of them haven't heard back, but magically they can have all these mods who defends men to no ends, hmmm

I said some shit to my wife without really remembering what I've said that hurt her so deep. I have experienced psychosis so lapses in time are frequent for me if I'm angry or agitated.
It was the day before our 5 anniversary which I wanted to surprise her.
Since then she blocked me on social media almost everywhere and refuses to talk elsewhere (we live separately for now)
I've been crying for two days straight, she's the one, the love of my life. My actual fucking soulmate.
I promised myself that if she ever officially break up with me, I would kill myself. She's the only thing good about my life.
And I fucked it up and I don't even remember what I said to her.
I'm in so much pain.
Now I just wait. Cry and wait.

What the fuck do you contribute to this relationship other than negativity and neediness? It's not her responsibility to save you and sacrifice her mental energy bringing you up. You already use so much of it when she has to deal with horrible periods of emotional abuse where you get to forget about it.
Seriously go see a fucking therapist and cut yourself off from other people until you get your shit fixed, fuck. Other people in this world do not exist for you to dump your mental problems onto.

I am friends with a girl at my workplace. We hung out together a lot when we lived nearby, it was really fun. When I moved, we only saw each other at work on break. We would both try to make plans and she would cancel all the time even if SHE was the one that made the plan. I don't care about bailing, things happen. Even though I would see her snaps and insta stories of her hanging with her other mates I was like ah well. I'm not that social.
Anyway I met a new friend who is lovely but a bit naive. She entered the workplace and slept with a sleaze ball who worked there and he went and told everyone she is a whore with chlamydia. Everyone knows he's a player but they all hated this young girl because of it. I have no idea why. She's a free spirit and likes to wear tarty clothes but she's really nice.
Anyway we've hung out a less than a handful of times and she posted a photo of me and her on her insta. She had done my makeup. I'm an older lady and I thought it was sweet of her.
Anyways, the flakey friend starts berating me and being really passive aggressive, calling this new girl my 'bestie' and getting overly jealous.
I explained that yes, this young girl is not a bad person and it's silly that everyone slut shames her, we were all 20 once apon a time. She complains that 'yeah but she's fucking annoying and SUCH an extrovert and she dresses like a whore'
She nitpicks all these things.
This girl has no idea and nor will I tell her but it's kinda sad considering the new girl has been really nice to flake friend.
Anyway, I hate the fact that flake friend is bitchy over me hanging out with someone when she bails on me to hang with better plans all the time and literally MAKES PLANS wihthout me infront of other people, but always is too sick or tired to hang out. EVEN THOUGH SHE'S THE ONE THAT INVITES ME.
I don't expect her to like or be around the new friend, (we all have different personalities) but don't give me a hard time for making new friends when you don't even hang out with me!
What does she expect? For me to just sit around alone and continue to agree to her bailed plans?
No. 353657
>>353652Kek. I'm actually 30.
I didn't mean to make myself sound so old, it was more to provide context to the story. New friend is 20 and flake friend is 24.
I should have just stated my age separately lol, I've been at work all day and my brain is frazzled. I wear makeup sometimes but I let her post it, because she's training to be a makeup artist and wanted to practise and show off her work.
Apon reading my paragraph again, I really did make it seem like I 50-60.
Again, just trying to establish the age gap between me and new friend.

>>353641Then why aren't you actually alone?
If everyone apparently hates you, why do you actually have people that care about you? If you actually hate yourself, why haven't you made steps to truly isolate yourself away from others?
You obviously enjoy the presence of other people and what they give you, so I really think you're just lying to yourself and enjoy a good dose of helplessness and pity.
I feel like you should take a break from relationships because you are an energy suck. You take from others and only give negativity back. When you're describing your relationship in qualities that only are beneficial for you, that's not a relationship. That's just you enjoying how a person makes you feel instead of loving that person.
How much more patience do you think your partner can give you? How much longer does she need to wait for your ~true self~ emerge? How much longer does she have to date the potential you?
Either fix your shit independently of her and be alone, it's that easy. No one except yourself is going to save you, especially not a romantic partner.

I'm sick of my manager at work. I'm working in a small team of women and we have fixed hours in the office, for context, and said manager is a pregnant woman with small kids. I'm an intern and get paid pennies and I entered the company, and I'm sure I won't be hired once my internship is over because of some problem with the company's budget. And I feel like the manager is trying to blame things on me when I'm doing everything perfectly fine. Whenever she's working from home and sending me emails I send her replies but she never reads them and blames me for not communicating info enough. She blames me for my coworkers' mistakes because they never communicate shit with me and never read the important emails I send them. She hired someone, also a mother to a very young kid, at the beginning of December and was pissed that I took a paid day off on the last day of December so I could get a 4days weekend and have more free time to spend with friends and work on my dissertation so I can finally get my Master's degree. And she was complaining about it to the newcomer, while asking her if she didn't to take a day off that day instead of me, even though she barely arrived and didn't accumulated paid days off, just because she's married and has a kid and I don't. That coworker was nice and said she was fine going to the office that day because she didn't have any paid days off so far but the manager insisted anyway. And whenever I planned interview and reunions between her and candidates for jobs she would completely forget about them or skip them without telling me, even though that's one of the reasons why I'm working there. Everytime I explain things to her she tells me she doesn't get it or she forgets about it, no matter how important it is.
The other day I heard the manager talking about a previous intern I don't know to someone who wanted to hire that girl, you know, references. And she was shitting all over her for the most stupid reasons. Like her leaving the office once her work was done and she did her hours of work for day instead of staying in the office for a few minutes to "finish" work pissed her off that much. According to her if you're an intern, studying and writing long papers on the side and still living with your parents because the cost of living in our city is outrageous, you should work even more because you don't have a husband and kids, which is harder apparently. I'm worried she'll talk shit about me once I look for another job and potential employers will ask for references, since she tends to blame me for things she or other people are doing wrong, including customers and prospects.
tldr; manager is passive-aggressive and thinks underpaid interns should have perfect results all the time and work overtime without getting paid more every evening to give the illusion that we're motivated and efficient, just because we seem to have no life outside of work.

I'm trying to get into cooking this year but oh my fucking god it's so difficult to find normal recipes online.
So many of them require rare ingredients aka expensive shit I can't find in our small store but only in big chain ones that are 30min drive away from where I live. I'm also not a native English speaker so sometimes shit gets extra frustrating.
Bought a few recipe books in my language but also most of them require dumb ingredients.
Where are the actually simple and daily usable recipes at?? God I'm so fucking annoyed

i tried making my own Mediterranean food and noticed how a lot of the recipes called for saffron, which is like $15 for a small bottle. i ended up attempting the recipe anyways without it and it was still good. i think i just added a bit more salt and garlic powder.

>>353774Not that it's any great consolation, but your managers mirror what I've experienced whenever I've worked at retail jobs. Didn't really matter if they were big box or small businesses. Fact is you get these shitforbrains who've worked at a store for a decade or more and then go on power trips once they get into management–the
only place where they will ever have a semblance of power over anybody.
That's why they get real shitty if they feel any newcomers pose a threat to their authority, because their entire philosophy is crabs in a bucket and making sure your time is as miserable as theirs was when they were at the bottom.
They called you unprofessional, aggressive, dumb, and horrible with customers because deep down that's how they know they are and were projecting their flaws onto you. The game to them is about making an underling feel worse.

Unfortunately just being great at art doesn't ensure that you're going to be able to make a living from it, it's a rough field, so if you're predisposed to being anxious and struggling with hardship then it might just make sense to look at other secure careers you can apply your creativity to. Having a steady dayjob can give you the sense of security that allows you to freely follow your art in your own time.
Studying art can enhance an art career but you can still 'make it' without an art degree or follow art at any time in your life, however a relevant degree is often necessary for 'normal' jobs

I've been sleeping ~10 hours per day and I still never manage to feel rested. I've been severely suicidal for months, every day planning on how I can get out of this fucking mess.
My surgery for my endometriosis is in 2 weeks and I've been praying every single night that the anesthetist messes up and I die on the table.
I think I may also have IBS (my mom does) but I'm too scared to talk to her about it or ask for help since my current treatments are so expensive already.
I have no income, I live off my parents in exchange for being a NEET always at home to babysit my little brothers. My dad's health insurance covers 80% of my specialist visits etc but I don't want to ask them for any more so my depression and potential IBS go without treatment.
Last time I took anti-depressants they gave me a stomach ulcer and I had to drop out of school for the second time after missing over a month of a 6 month course.
I sent out thousands of job applications and got 2 interviews. One never called back, the other told me they couldn't hire me because of my small visible tattoo on my wrist. It was fucking McDonalds.
I'm socially fucked and I can't bare people looking at me, I put on 30 kg in the past 2 years and I feel like a beast. I've always been chubby but in an almost passable ok-face way, but now i'm completely revolting. Most days I can't even get out of bed.
My only social interaction is playing a dead MMO, but because I'm such a fucking mentally stunted retard I always manage to piss off or annoy the people in my clan. I can't afford to pay to keep up with anyone either so my gear is pathetic despite being raid leader.
I feel like there's really no hope left for me, all I wish for is being able to turn back time. Not taking uni for granted the first time, avoiding relationships… Taking care of myself.
Today I'm going to work on a scrapbook of things that I like or want to buy/make when I'm better. All I can do is hope that some miracle happens.

Like I catch myself writing bluntly or aggressively which starts a fight, so I have to redo some of my posts before I submit. I put myself in the place of a stranger who has no idea what my intentions are, and it seems to help me rewrite to convey my ideas a bit better. It's not foolproof (anons gonna interpret how they want), and sometimes I know I type something cunty regardless, but it's helped.
When I first came here from 4chan it took me years to adjust because that imageboard has such a hostile/shitposty culture that I had to relearn how to be human.
The upside is that this is why I like communicating over text rather than trying to talk in person. At least when I'm writing something I get the opportunity to think about what I say and go back if need be, whereas if this were an irl conversation I'd be expected to be in sync on the spot and I'd probably say something I'd regret.

I've been "internet friends" with this girl since Livejournal's heyday, over a decade now. She has a significant following but we still exchange comments here and there. We share mutual aesthetics (well, used to) and I credit her for inspiring me to explore feminism. I don't know if anyone here is even familiar with her. She posted this a few hours ago and it disgusted me. Sure, I can accept she didn't know about the death of the spouse of her FAVORITE CELEBRITY and made a poorly timed joke about thinking of fucking him literally the same night she died. But instead of acknowledging it or apologizing, she just deleted the post. I'm not personally offended for Buscemi, what pisses me off is how much of a hypocrite she is. She gained most of her notoriety from Tumblr call-out culture and outrage over shit like this.

I had a friend many years ago who was a writer, roleplayer and very articulate and verbose. I watched her get absorbed into chan culture 100% and just lose her thoughtfulness and personal writing style. She became much more aggressive than before and saw no problem posting pro-pedo comments on facebook. (She went from anti-pedo to real life shotacon is great uwu) It was just a completely crazy change to witness, if image boards are someone's main source of human interaction it definitely leaves a mark in some way.

I started seeing a guy in late October. Everything was going really well, I met his roommate (we're in college), his friends, I was about to meet his parents, it all felt like it was going smoothly.
Until December, when he left college for the winter break and found out his parents were taking him to rehab. He told me it would only be 30 days. I wasn't that concerned. His parents are intensely religious and pretty ignorant on drugs, so the fact that he smoked weed as frequently as he did to cope with his autoimmune disease always rubbed them the wrong way. I expected this to be a small blip in what seemed like a perfect relationship.
Well, it's been something like 36 days, and I just found out he dropped out of school. I haven't heard from him or anyone close to him. His phone is out of service as of today.
Logically I know I should move on, but jesus fucking christ, this is the most bizarre end to any relationship I've ever had. I truly don't know what to do. I plan on contacting his parents just to make sure he's okay but beyond that I have no idea where to go from here.
I'm stressed and I want this to be over. I just wanna make sure he's coping well. I'm worried about him.

You should stop spending so much time online and get out in the real world.

>>354156I know what you mean, every single man in my family is a piece of shit most of all my father, and that has affected me a lot.
But if you have that mindset that EVERY guy is like this it probably means you haven't met a lot of people. And I mean actually getting to know them.
I'm not trying to be condescending but you need to let go of all the anger and open yourself up to people and see them do the same. You'll realize there's a lot more than what you expected and how harmful it is to already form generalized negative opinions on people before you've even known them.
There's a lot of shitty people but there's a lot of great people too, men included, and it's worth it to give the a chance. It'll only make your life better.

The mayor of my city got stabbed 3 times with a knife in front of everyone during charity event. Adamowicz has been mayor of city for over 20 years. The guy who attacked him took the microphone and started going that he was innocent, and that he had been 5 years in prison during Civic Platform’s time in power (guy was responsible for 4 bank robberies btw) and now because of this mayor has to die. He was announced dead a hour ago and all I see on fb are people who argue whose fault it is, alt-right saying that he did deserve death for being liberal. No one truly fucking cares about the mayor himself, but keep using his death to prove their politician opinions.

This doesn't help anyone (except maybe yourself feel better). A relationship isn't required to live a good, happy life, contrary to popular belief. If some anons see no point in risking it all for some dickings and a real life attempt at emulating all the stuff music, books and movies tell us, that's their business.
Please don't try and order people how to live their lives just to make yourself feel caring or wise or whatever. It's just condescending and kind of lame, kek. People ultimately decide their own fates, and they don't have to match yours. Also, someone's ideals not matching yours does not necessarily make them sad or miserable. Live and let live.

>>354401Either option on its own probably doesn't guarantee happiness. People who excessively rely on relationships to fill some emotional void in their life aren't going to be as satisfied as someone who learned to be a whole person without depending on someone else to make them happy. Being happy in a relationship is either conditional, as things can go to shit at anytime, or a result of taking responsibility for one's own happiness. In reality no one can "make" another person happy.
You can be single and ill-equipped to deal with it, but more often those who put too much importance on romantic relationships are more unbalanced within themselves and can't stay single long.
Personally I'm not closed off to the idea of having a relationship, but I'm not in a rush. I had to grow up with my mom's loser boyfriends always causing trouble for us and have had some bad experiences of my own. I don't see how it is worth it unless I meet someone with good character and the qualities I like. I'm not willing to compromise on that. I see women all the time talk about how they get treated like absolute shit by their partners in one or two regards, but go on to say that it's okay because he's such a loving and caring man otherwise uwu!

I don’t want to live but I don’t want to die. I have medical, addiction (I’m in recovery) , and mental issues, I’m going to be kicked off my mom’s insurance in a few months, my family keeps trying to give me tough “love” through yelling at me, calling me lazy even though they know my medical history affects my energy, I’m not currently working or in school because multiple doctors have told me my health will interfere with work and school. They know this shit, but they’re still making me feel like crap to “motivate” me.
I want to live but I just hate 80% of my whole existence. Like if I had a choice, I would love to have never existed, but now that I’m alive, I’m too scared to kill myself. I tried doing it once and it scared me so much that I admitted myself to the suicide ward. I’m so conflicted. It doesn’t help that I’m religious and I want to have faith and trust in God, but I feel alone even with my family sometimes supporting me. I’ve never been enthusiastic about life, but I can’t bring myself to kick the bucket.

It's only women who have endless handmaidens caping like #notallmen and 'not my Nigel!'.

No. 354783
>>354781If we can try to guess the mods reasoning, maybe it's because the man hating thread has the potential to attract incels to the site and raids, etc.
Still, there's no real communication so it does feel unfair like they ignore what half, I'm guessing, the site users want.

It's not sensible to me that incels invading with gross comments, gore, spam nasty dick pics, CP, etc can stay for 3 hours minimum untouched, while anons in /pt/ will get banned or warned for derailing a thread with an off-topic post or whatever.

I'm so sick and tired of my job right now.
I work at a call center, but we do mostly back-office stuff (organizing files, administration and so on).
One of my managers is a fat dumb bitch, who's only there because she's very good at licking boots. She always pushes her own mistakes on us, starts having screaming fits at us for anything she does not do well, and you'll mostly find her outside for a smoke.
My other manager is a coward who'll comply with any rules the fat bitch and the boss will make, no matter how unfair they are.
I am pretty good at doing my job, and because of that, instead of a promotion or a raise, I get more work. I've complained to the boss a few times, and all I got was a shrug. The fat one fears I'll take her place (I'd rather do HR stuff), and the boss is too in cahoots with her.
Last week was the cherry on the top. I got triple the work as my workmates, and when I complained to the manager she laughed in my face and told me she'd be the best paid if the pay would amount to the work done. I had to turn over so she wouldn't see me laughing.
I'm seriously thinking about sueing them for mobbing. I asked my union about it, they told me to have a last talk with the boss, recording the conversation, and send them the results so they could see if it would be accepted as so. I'm sure the boss will say nothing of substance though, she's good at avoiding these things.
At this point I don't know if I should change jobs. I have good skills, I'm a fast learner, speak 4 languages, but I don't have a degree in anything. And this shit country requires you a degree for almost every job. I don't want to end flipping burgers or doing door-to-door sales. My wage isn't even bad, but I feel like I'm being treated unfairly.

I'm so sick of my boyfriend's sisters.
We're all in our twenties and share their family house since their parents moved. We all work, but me and my boyfriend work the most hours, have the most awkward shifts and eat at home the least. Yet whenever I come home there is mess everywhere, and I have to spend my days off tidying around the house when they can't even be bothered to throw rubbish in the bin, let alone do the washing up.
Their mum comes in once a week as she still owns the house and always has a go at my boyfriend and me, but never his sisters. She even does their fucking laundry for them, but me and bf do our own. They're like disgusting children. There's a huge bag of used tampons in the bathroom for some reason that whichever one of them used hasn't done anything about, and I get the blame too when I haven't even started my period yet this month, and there's half a milkshake just left on the top of the bathroom shelves that the oldest one (who complains whenever she does 5 minutes of tidying) left their four days ago. I've used one plate in the past three days since I've been relapsing in my eating disorder, and this morning my boyfriend and I have the day off so his sisters brought down 4 plates from their rooms from days ago and left us a note asking if we could tidy.
I'm happy to tidy and help out and I'm generally a clean person, but they're both so disgusting and lazy and it's such a pisstake. The oldest acts like her life is so damn hard when she works 2 minutes away from home and comes back on her breaks, 20 hours a week, and always has sick days, and every time she eats anything the kitchen counter becomes such a mess and she can't even be bothered to put any of the cutlery she used to make anything in the sink, she legit leaves buttery knives on the side 3 times a day.
I can't even eat some days because I get back in and the kitchen is a mess and it's either do all the washing up for everyone else or starve.
I get on really well with them and I don't want to say shit because I have before and it's just made it really tense and awkward. But it's driving me crazy and we don't earn enough to afford our own place yet.

My mother has been trying to "push me out" of the bathroom for a while now and I'm fucking fuming with anger at this point.
We have something similar to pic related in the bathroom + there's like a shelve underneath it made in the wall that stretches from wall to wall (idk how to explain it) and it's full of her shit! I have 2/3 spaces in one of the cabinets and literally everything else is hers and my fathers. Still not good enough for her. She also keeps hoarding products that are 13+ years old and refuses to throw the shit away despite not even using it.
She's been telling me to buy myself a makeup station for my room but that would be literally useless for me because I need to be close to the mirror while applying makeup because I can't see shit otherwise. Not to mention I'd had to constantly run up and down the stairs with my shit to brush teeth, shower, wash face etc..

>>355095Sounds like you guys need a chore rota, specifically with rows for individual jobs that need regularly doing, and columns at the end for for your names. The named columns are also broken down into 5 or so rows, so that each time you completed that task you can tick again. It soon becomes clear when one person has a full row of ticks and another has none.
It's good because sometimes people really don't realise how comparatively little they do.

I'm probably being petty not just getting it myself but I also want her to realise how disgusting she is leaving it out up there in the first place.
He tried. Every time he tries to tell her the majority of the mess is theirs and we do the chores most of the time, she says it's not about blaming each other and we all need to do a bit or she'll kick us all out, which is fair enough, but afaik she only ever mentions it to him.

i know how it feels though when you just can't be on time - it doesn't even make sense and it sucks. maybe try convincing yourself that your shift starts 15 or 30 minutes earlier than it does? like, set alarms earlier, get ready thinking you have to be there sooner than you actually do, and just leave early? just set a limit for yourself.

I might consider a counselor. I don't really feel like I have a lot of anxiety in general but maybe if I get myself scared like that a second time. It's a pretty new situation after all, maybe I need a bit more time to adjust.
Though if I think about it I'm at kind of a stressful stage in my life. I'm currently unemployed and applying to few universities so there's a huge failure or a big change awaiting. So it might be a great idea to keep my stress and anxiety levels in mind. And I do tend to not notice being stressed before I show some physical signs (like clenching my teeth at night) of it.
Actually, seeing someone starts to sound like a great idea.

This might belong elsewhere as well, but I'm putting it here because it sends me into a blind rage just thinking about it.
My mother gave me her fucking body image issues and I feel like there's no way I can change how I think about my body now. Throughout my entire childhood, she complained and cried and constantly talked about how disappointed she was with her small tits. Always commented on other women's breasts, whether they were large (mostly positive, "wish I had some like that") or small (mostly negative, "I feel sorry for her.") I assume she had this fixation because she was a young adult when the whole Pam Anderson craze was going on. I inherited an even shittier breast shape than my mom's from somewhere in the family (shallow, wide root,) and of course, my mom would then talk about how small my tits were. Needless to say, hearing this shit for 20+ years has given me a bit of a complex. Sometimes, I feel okay with my breasts. Other times, I obsess over how they're MUCH too small and I'll never be satisfied unless I get implants or something. And it's not even because I want to be more attractive to men or something, it's just this thing my mother has ingrained into the deepest part of my brain; that I'll never be "womanly" because of my non-existent breasts. It fucking sucks and I hate her so much for this.

>>355295I can somewhat relate, although my mother would criticize other women and herself casually while also somehow insisting that I'm beautiful while having the traits she criticized. I guess that's marginally better lol. It was really everything though, she nitpicks things similar to farmers (wide thighs, large noses, minor facial flaws, signs of aging, etc.) and it definitely seeped into my kid mind over the years. The nose thing is a big one (pun not intended) since she'd point it out on herself and others very often, and I have an undeniably large nose myself (as does she, but it's ifferent since I'm biracial and she's white).
I love her so much otherwise, though. I hope your mom was at least okay in other aspects, although if not that makes this so much worse. Sorry you went through that anon.

I think the threads he's talking about are just spidersilk, I'm not sure, there was also more strange stuff I don't remember. He seemed sincere, his lenghty rant made me sad and uncomfortable.

I fucking wish Tumblr would not cling on the the asshole of gaming, it's not for you SJW tards/PC crowds.
Especially if you wanna make political, ruined soldier 76. Don't ruin a robot.
I don't care about TERFs (IDK no opinion), but geez. I wish the LGBT (yes I'm abbreviating it, no point of doing the entire alphabet soup) would stfu and btfo out of gaming/comics sometimes, Christ. It isn't about you! Ruining characters, making it political!!1 uwu.
Same Anon from the Soldier 76 thing btw. I'm not trying to muddy the waters being poltical but ugh!
You want representation?
Build your own fucking game and fandom, get in your echo chamber and STFU. Boom, if you don't have it… Make your own, IDK. That's what's creativity is for right? Don't be a virtue signaling twat, it's not wrong but the way Tumblr does it (irks the fuck out of me).

Someone posted a comic on facebook in one of the groups I'm in that describes "mental load." It defines all the shit women are expected to manage about the household, why it's so taxing, and why men don't seem to ever contribute domestically unless asked (spoiler alert: it's because doing domestic labor intuitively is a learned and socialized behavior and men are never held to expectation).
My only criticism about the comic is that it seems to focus on the scenario where the woman is a STAHM, which kind of disregards all the childless, working women who still have to put up with this bullshit from their partners. I understand the comic needed to create a strong argument for why mental load is a 'full time job' and that it's bolstered by bringing up that child rearing is also 24/7. But imo it just creates another beast that is if a woman isn't spending her entire day at the house raising a kid, then the mental load isn't as much of a burden–even though it still is.
I guess I should be thankful that I finally have a name for what dogged my last long term relationship and why I ended it. My ex was a messy slob but he would turn it around and make me out to be a demanding bitch because how dare I resent him for coming home and playing video games instead of doing a sink full of dishes or doing his own laundry or vacuuming because "I could always just ask." Even though, one, I shouldn't have had to ask an adult to do basic responsibilities, and two, I'd often get the "I'll do it in a bit" response when asked which is basically code for go fuck myself. When I was a teenager I used to tell my mom I'd do chores "in a bit" but what would happen is that I would forget or get distracted and then my mom would wind up doing it anyway. Difference being I was a shitty immature teen, not a grown man. I know what "do it later" really fucking means and it grinds my gears second to "just ask."
How about "Just learn so I don't have to ask"?
That would've really raised bedlam. Wish I could go back in time and tell him that to his face instead of me believing I was being too nitpicky and him thinking he was some kind of victim for being held to task.

>>355641It drives me insane. Its not even just chores; a lot of the time men seem to expect the woman to put in all the effort for the relationship as well. Why is it so fucking common that men think just coming home, playing video games and doing literally nothing else is just how it is?
Why is the "girlfriend upset because her boyfriend just constantly plays video games instead of giving her more than 5 minutes a day of attention but expecting her full attention whenever he wants it" a normal thing? I see it in so many of other peoples relationships and sometimes my own.
