I am pretty hopeless about cooking too, I mess up a lot even if I use exact ingredients and measurements from recipes. I have a few relatively simple recipes in my repertoire now, like stir fry, that are impossible to fuck up, and are delicious with few ingredients. Anything that's a lot of flour or egg I steer away from because I ALWAYS fuck it up.

No. 374345

>>374313
I agree with other anons about trying simple recipes that are hard to mess up like salads, soups, paninis, stir fry, pasta dishes (like lasagna) a lot of it can be made using pre bought things (like pre bought pasta sauces, using rotisserie chicken for soups, pastas, sandwiches, salads, etc) or things that can be baked like salmon (just marinating it, and shoving it into the oven.)
Sorry if it's obvious things that you already know, but I've noticed people tend to have an easier time if more of the laborious parts are already done or made, or if there aren't too many things that need to be done all at once.

I don’t know if this counts but I hate how the vast, vast majority of the LGBT community are all just middle-class straight girls that just want to seem cool. Whether it be the “gay” fakebois, the “bisexual/Pansexual women” who are 0.0000001% attracted to women, or the “gray-asexuals” who love having sex with men but aren’t 100% horny all the time so I guess they’re kweer now.

I hate being deaf more than anything. I sound retarded when I talk, even after years of speech therapy. My voice doesn’t affect me as much now as it did in school, but I still feel embarrassed being an adult and not being able to fully express myself verbally the way I want because I know I can’t pronounce certain letters or words correctly. I despise being associated with the rabid ideologies of the deaf community, people have admitted they are afraid to talk to me in fear of saying something offensive simply because their only previous exposure to other deaf people are from news stories of them crying in protest over babies getting cochlear implants or other inane shit.

All the people I used to folllow deleted their blogs or dropped their hobbies completely. It’s a weird solemn feeling to see abandoned or deleted fandom accounts. Tumblr is becoming a ghost town but I miss when it was super active and also had all the snowflakey drama people on it.

It's a hard to approach topic for many people. Most have never interacted with a deaf person, so we can get a bit flustered. To ignore it would be rude, and to bring attention to it may be rude as well. After the initial meeting, it's alot easier to understand how to best be friends. And don't be embarrassed about your voice. Even if it sounds weird, keeping it shut away is losing one of the few ways we can get our thoughts and soul out into the world. The message is more important than the quality of the handwriting. Same principle with voice.

It makes me sad that no matter how many radfem posts I read, how much I realize that gender is a bullshit meme, how much I accept that performing femininity like a trained pet gilding its cage is just holding us all back, I will always want to be pretty. Not to compete with other women or for guys to like me or whatever, but because it feels fucking good. Makeup, fashion and other "girly" aesthetic pursuits are enjoyable. Being complimented on my hair and eyes and face is just nice. Knowing something looks good on me is a great feeling. Being treated better by people because they think I'm "cute" feels safer.

My politics aren't matching up with my actions, and I'm worried I'll be stuck in that paradox forever. My only solace is that in the same way I don't want to look like a man, I don't like it when men are overly masculine-presenting, either. I think their stereotypical aesthetic ideals are grotesque, unappealing, unattractive and/or completely boring. IMO, feminine men look better than "masculine" men, and "tomboyish" women look better than men as a whole. So, maybe it is actually possible to enjoy performing femininity in a way that doesn't inherently make us out to be inferior to men? I don't know anymore.

I don’t think partaking in feminine rituals is an issue in itself, especially if it makes your life easier by confirming (not sure what it’s like in other countries, where I’m from masculinity in women is seen as a good thing), it’s more so women that partake in said rituals and pretend that it is somehow empowering/liberating and is a feminist choice purely because a woman chose to do it

I have two children and want to get married, both things are used to historically and globally oppress women, but that doesn’t make me any less of a feminist. Not every aspect of a woman’s life has to be a political statement

Anon… wanting to be pretty and fashionable is not a sin, it was and still is a bit of a rich people's thing, because it needs time and money, so you're "privileged" for even affording to look nice. BUT, men have turned this notion into such monstrosity in the past century (in an attempt at fully turning women, human beings, into decoration+womb if I may add), where only women have to try to look presentable FOR men, while men don't give a shit about what women are attracted to and don't care about their looks because they'll still be awarded a wife (now that this isn't the case anymore you can see the anger rising from them).

Btw is the majority of women that like more "feminine" boys. You can see every generation of girls adoring celebrities like that rather than the rugged masculine ones (glam rock, biebs, one direction, kpop now…). It's okay to take care of yourself and want to look pretty anon, just place yourself in the current context when you do and realize that at the moment if you do it signifies, for men, that you want to be an object (but to be honest they'll do anyway) and you're not helping fight against the notion that women MUST doll up or either! But at least I'm glad you don't over-inflate the ego of ugly masculine men. Maybe we should just get men to appreciate and work on the beauty of their own bodies instead of aboloshing it altogether.

I recently started a really great job. Decent money and benefits or so I thought until HR gave me the insurance enrolment forms yesterday and even with the most basic/cheapest plan, I will have to pay close to 1/3rd of my pay check toward it (with the other 2/3rds going to rent/bills/food). I have no medical issues and go to the doc once a year for a check up/pap and I'm furious that I have to pay so much for something I don't really even use. It would be cheaper for me to just pay out of pocket but I'll still get fucked over on taxes for not having insurance. What I really need is dental, which my new job does not offer, just a meagre HSA than I can't use until June. All that money I had expected to save…gone.

Just discovered the gums are receding o my bottom two front teeth. Scared the shit out of me. I have a dentist appointment in March, but I haven't been in a couple years because my sisters kept taking my appointments when they would come to town for a little while and it was "more important" for them to see the dentist while they were here since I could go "any time" (dentists don't just schedule you whenever, it's always ~6 months away.) Now I'm like AH my teeth are gonna fall out by age 30 I floss semi-regularly and brush every day but I didn't realize until last night! It's not super bad yet, I can't see the roots, but I was surprised at how low the gums went when they were still normal for my other teeth. Any tips about how to stop the receding?

Can it be caused by overcrowding? I'm already missing 8 adult teeth (wisdom + one set of molars) but my teeth especially on the bottom front are all jammed up together and overlapping on one side. I had braces for 3 years but lately I've been noticing them all shifting and fighting for room.

Either way you won't lose your teeth from the gums receding. Bone is what keeps them in your mouth. Lose gum and bone and that's what causes it. And yes crowding can make it worse. Still, there are so many treatments for it. Chao pinhole, rejuvagum, alloderm, Free gum graft, etc etc

Replace all your beverages with lots of water or tea and eat smaller portions. Most of all STAY BUSY and distracted. If you're bored and lounging around, you'll have the urge to eat more.

Don't starve yourself by eating only 1 meal a day, for a lot of people, that doesn't work. Buy little snacks for yourself like yogurt or apple sauce to hold you over if you really need to eat something.

Then, all you can do is regulate how much of those things you eat. Go for half of all the stuff you like. From personal experience, it sucks at first, but you get used to it and do lose weight.

This guy in my friend group recently introduced his girlfriend to us. Everything was fine, until I found out he is/was cheating on her with another girl in this exact same friend group. I don't know whether to tell the girlfriend or not, and it's hard acting normal around her.

It's making hanging out with them all really, really awkward. I don't know whether it's even my place to tell her, and part of me is worried she'll just lash out at me for trying to "sabotage their relationship" if she refuses to believe it.

Just because your crush usually goes for tall girls doesn't mean he can't make an exception, though. My boyfriend was surprised by my height when we started dating and normally prefers shorter girls, but he finds me attractive anyway. If your crush likes other parts of your appearance and personality he won't mind your height.

Related to this, I'm insecure about the exact opposite. I'm somewhat tall and I've got a "mature" face. I just can't feel cute, even though that's what I admire in other girls. It's super unhealthy but I can't help but watch videos of Anzu and feel terrible about my ugly, angular face.

The vast majority of guys don't find tall women attractive at all, so most tall girls would wish to be shorter, simply because they're afraid of ending up alone.
Also, kids and adults of both genders are incredibly cruel if you're tall (and female).
So yes, there are plenty of reasons.

The only positive thing about being tall is that sometimes old ladies ask you to get them stuff from the top shelf and then will praise you for being nice. That's literally it.

i dunno, it just looked clear that it was related because the thread was doing fine up til that point. you're right that it really could've been anyone, but the typing style and the fact that they randomly brought it up after it already ended looked off to me
if >>374801 is right that they said to stop infighting and derailing, they'd probably be more likely to agree with the op than suddenly go on attack mode all over again.

>>374801
if the anon in >>374687 and >>374699 are the same, that means they most likely weren't pretending to be the other anon(?) in >>374705 but referring to their own former post.
it's more likely that the other anon assumed they were being vagued or something, and posted >>374696 and the rest of the angry posts at op for trying to regulate it, but i have no way of knowing.
>op was an autist for that and deserved the replies acknowledging it. this is a simple reoccurring thread, who the op is is completely irrelevant. it doesn't give that person any authority.

I left it at the register by the gum lol. I wish I had more of a back bone and told that creep to leave me alone. I wonder if it's actually illegal for them to spout their religious junk to strangers in a store like that. They used to come to my house a lot even with my no solicitors sign. One time I actually told the guy to get lost, can't you read my sign? He still threw his pamphlets at me lol.

last week i got an offer to go back to the company i used to work for. i'm considering it because i'm a broke writer and i really liked my old job, but i've never returned to a former workplace and the thought of it feels weird. i quit a little over a year ago because i had what seemed like a really amazing job lined up in a different state, except the amazing job wound up being a nightmare of a position that mentally & emotionally broke me and i fled back home as soon as i could. since then i've occasionally regretted leaving the first job, but now that i've been given a chance to return to it i can't help but wonder if my former coworkers and bosses, a lot of whom still work at the company, would see my return as some sort of failure on my part. before i left they always expressed that they thought my old job was beneath me, so what does it say about me if i go back to the same position now older and with more experience? i guess i care too much about what people think of me, but i can only imagine how awkward some of the reintroductions could be. i also don't know if i should revisit the past since i know that that can be disastrous for some people. i just don't know what to do.

I'm in love with someone else. I mean, really absolutely crazy about him. But I'm married and we have a young child.

Way before I met this guy, my marriage was in trouble. We've been a great parenting team and I still love him, but it's not been the same. We're not the same people we were. I've been honest about my feelings about our marriage to him and it's finally kicked in that we're in trouble, so now he's going OTT to fix things. He's a great man and an amazing dad.

The problem is, the other guy feels the same way about me. And I could see us being together as a couple.

I won't cheat on my husband nor split up my family, but I'm desperately unhappy. Our baby isn't even a year old yet, I never thought it would be like this.

no offense, but do you really think this other guy would want to help raise another man's child? guys barely want to saddle themselves down with their own kids let alone one that's not even theirs. it doesn't matter how much you love each other, he might never love your baby, may even resent your kid for existing, and shouldn't you put your child first in all of this?

it could also go the totally opposite way. if you did split up your family and the guy, for whatever reason, embraced helping raise another man's kid, don't you think the lines could get blurred about who the father is if you have this guy around since your child is just a baby? let's say you divorce your husband for this guy and get shared custody of your baby. assuming the other guy sticks around, now your child has two father figures. will this guy know his place and know that he isn't meant to be a replacement dad? will the child even understand who its real father is? if your husband is such a great dad, it would be incredibly unfair to both him and your child to cause that kind of confusion or to take away from him the right to fully be a parent.

this whole situation sounds like it has the potential to be very messy. have you considered therapy? do you think you might have PPD? if you do, it could very well be exacerbating your unhappiness with your husband.

This is really dumb and you shouldn't receive love or support for this and should be torn apart instead and by that I mean the other anons are right with what they replied. What in the world are you thinking? A child is the greatest responsability a person can have and you want to potentially ruin your child's childhood only because you don't feel the same way you felt at the beginning of your marriage.When you're in a marriage it's not like you're with a high school boyfriend that you break up with once you don't feel butterflies fluttering in your stomach anymore.

Last night I was at a party with girls I've known for a few years and we were all talking about how we first met and impressions.
Friend A said she thought I looked like a major bitch, friend B who I didn't know until a year and a half ago said I looked mean and I guess friend A had went to her and complained about things I've said. I guess she took some things I said the wrong way (because I've never been mean or rude on purpose and I even put her up in my apartment temporarily). I don't really begrudge that because my friends have said fucked shit to me unintentionally before but it's usually too petty or brief to make big deals out of it. Humans make mistakes.

Anyway I know what they're talking about. I have resting bitchface and intense eyes. I look like a bully, and even when I'm thinking of nothing it looks like I'm thinking about something. My narc mom nitpicks me and baits arguments because she insists I'm bothered by her and how dare I get annoyed when I answer for the umpteenth time that nothing's wrong–which ironically bothers the shit out of me at that point.
I have to make an active effort to lift my eyebrows, smile more, and initiate lighthearted conversations because otherwise people think I'm hard and intimidating. It's my presence, and if I'm not mindful people pass these crazy judgements.
Once when I was in a theatrical production in college, organizers made joke superlatives and the one I got was, to paraphrase, "Quietly plotting the deaths of those around her." Just because rehearsals were always early so I didn't talk much, and some days I probably did look grouchy because I had no purpose some days to be forced to be there.

I wish I was a "good" looking pretty person so I could benefit from that sweet halo effect. I look "evil" so people create narratives and treat me so, and if I do anything to confirm their bias or retaliate, in those moments I do become evil. What can one do?

I'm in the same boat anon. All of my friends told me they were intimidated by me at first and though I was a bitch. Can't count the number of times men have said "smile honey" or people have asked me if I'm mad at them or someone has told me to lighten up. I think people also perceive me as being a bitch because I'm very honest and blunt.

Honestly I've just stopped caring because I feel like trying to look happy and excited all the time is being inauthentic and it's frankly exhausting. I feel like it's actually beneficial sometimes, like people won't try to fuck with you and they take you seriously, but yeah it makes it hard to make friends/meet people sometimes. Especially paired with the fact that I'm naturally introverted, slightly socially awkward, and tall lmao.

I feel like a similar aura that intimidated people, physically I take up little space but my personality is quite large and outspoken and I very naturally take charge of situations without meaning to.

I don’t have a problem with smiling or anything, I’d say I have a pretty friendly face neutrally, but without coming off as a narc I do believe I have an almost animalistic aura of leadership and charisma that makes people seem intimidated but also will follow what I say without any sort of pushback (again, I seem to take charge of situations without at all intending to, I just naturally fall into a leader role)

At least this is just what I’ve observed, I think people expect me to be meek from my size and baby face and come to be shocked when I open my mouth so they tend to fuck off

I'm under so much stress and, while not all of it, part of it is because of a friend of mine, B.

B is going through a rough mental health period these past months. I have been extremly supportive, to the point where her mom keeps inviting me over and B is constantly expressing gratitude. Being supportive and a good listener is my forte, it comes naturally to me, it's not something I feel like I should be thanked for. I'm not always a good friend but loyalty and being supportive and helping in rough times is like… one of the only things that make me a not completely horrible person.

But I just can't do it anymore. B barely sees her therapist anymore and uses me as her shrink. It's tottally normal for me to listen to her problems BUT this is becoming too much. Every single day I have to compfort her + find ways to give her a new positive perspective on her struggles. She has BDD and, while we hang out during about 3h, she will ask me 10 times "does me skin look horrible? is it disgusting?" And when I reassure her she will insist "are you sure?" Every single day she texts me screenshots of the same guy subtly rejecting her and her never abondoning it and complaining to me about it. Every single day. I rarely talk about my own problems but if I ever mention my dad and the problems he's giving to me she'll then start a tirade about her own father.

I love her, I love hanging out with her, I enjoy her as a friend and truly don't want to loose her BUT I have my own share of problems with my own my mental health, my own college stress, my alcoholic sick father and codependant lowkey abusive mother.

And I don't see any way of communicating that with her without hurting her. Best case scenario, we stay friends but she's hurt and looses trust in me, worst case scenario she's not my friend anymore. She's a great and genuinly kind person but recently a girl she used to be friends with cut her off in a very cruel and cold way because B was too much to handle.

On top of that, I have a little bitterness over some art college grades. She's doing this whole project about her mental health struggles which is kind of… banal and that's already been done a 100 times and she got 17/20 while I got 15/20 (while my project is objectively better). I know the profs gave her that grade purely because of pitty and "omg she's so courageous to speak up". Because, last year, when a set of jury (made of famous artists and gallerists) were grading us, I got 17/20 and she got 12/20 and her work hasnt improved since.
I also struggle with mental health but my struggle is ugly. She's introverted, pretty when she softly cries, deppressed, BDD. I havd c-PTSD, ugly cry, and after years of drug abuse and sexual self harm, (ive been clean for 2 years), I just became a sort of hermit shut in.

And I already said I'm not going to do anything that would hurt my daughter. I had treatment for postpartum depression, I went and got help the second I felt something was wrong.

My husband is far from perfect. We weren't having problems until he made his friends a priority over me and my wellbeing, and it spiralled from there. I've singlehandedly kept this marriage going while he gave me the cold shoulder. I could have walked. Falling for this guy is nothing more than bad timing.

I grew up with parents who hated each other but stayed together regardless. They split up when I was a baby but got back together and honestly, I wish they'd stayed apart. Maybe let me live with my nan.

I'm not looking for support on this, I'm also not looking to anything except what's right by my family.

I actually laughed at myself for thinking this earlier. In an ideal world, that would be perfect. Husband and I get to remain as parents, still get to be there for each other and he could see someone else as well as me. I don't even hate the idea of him seeing another woman if it made him happy. Then I could be with the guy I'm nuts about, and he wouldn't have the pressure of stepping into a family role.

But. My husband wouldn't want that at all. And I don't think the other guy would either. It would probably get really messy. And how do you even start that conversation? "So hun, instead of me leaving you and ripping our family apart, why don't we stay together for our daughter and fuck around on the side?"

You know that's exactly what most people used to do instead of divorcing?

I would try it if you don't live in a really tiny town where your secret would be out in a few weeks

Then get divorced when it's time for kiddo to go to school, so you are less reliant on having a father figure and have more free time to sort your life out. Your husband is obviously trying, so you can keep a semblance afloat for a little while. Getting divorced with a toddler is a lot less stressful than with a baby…I assume

lol except for the part where her daughter lacks a stable home life and she's ripped from her bio father because her mother couldn't control her hormones. then she develops """daddy issues""" because mom's inevitably going to get bored of the new guy as is apparently her pattern with men and probably bounce from boyfriend to boyfriend.

Seriously, have you even tried couples counseling? If you're so deadset on making it work then you should actually take steps to making it work.

Hey anon, you are going to get through this just fine.

I understand that you fell for another man, but it seems like you're trying to patch up the feelings your husband ignored. However there is no point in you staying with him, forcing yourself to bear through it - because I can almost guarantee you that he will either walk away himself or it'll fuck your child over. There's plenty of kids that grow up just fine with loving separated partners and you seem to be level-headed and dedicated to your baby to be able to provide this.
What you shouldn't do is split up with your husband for another man, but rather do it for yourself.

if you're not a man, no, it's because you automatically blame the mother for the reason why a child could be messed up and assume a mother needs to go on some wild goose chase for men bc "hormones" when a mother can simply be single, as they often are?

the problem in this situation is the mom. when parents divorce for organic reasons like drifting apart, not wanting the same things from life, not being able to make things work after trying, etc. it's okay because these things happen and the parents are usually able to have an amicable co-parenting relationship afterward anyway. but in this case, anon claims her husband is a great dad who wants to make things work, but she doesn't want to because she'd rather wallow in her "misery" and pine for new dick. her primary points in her posts have all been centered around being sooo in love with this new guy and wanting him so badly. that's the kind of thing that causes trauma - mom divorcing dad just because she wanted to sleep with a new guy and then bringing that new guy into her infant daughter's life. what happens to the bio dad's relationship with his daughter? according to anon he's a great dad who cares a lot about their baby, so it's not like he's just going to let go of his child. with mom introducing new guy(s) to her baby's life when she's not even a year old, that poor kid is going to be so confused about who her dad is. divorce doesn't always equal trauma, but with a mom like this who wants to divorce for the reasons she wants to divorce, you can be pretty sure it's going to result in trauma for her daughter.

>>375403
no, i'm not a guy, sorry to disappoint. i didn't say anon was going to go on a wild goose chase for men… she said it herself, anon. her whole posts have been about her wanting this new man sooo badly. i wouldn't have said shit if she'd posted about wanting to divorce her husband just because she wants to be single (hell, that's exactly how i was raised myself and i adore my mom), but she didn't post that - she made a post about wishing she could divorce her husband and uproot her infant's life simply because there's a new dude she wants to bang. sorry, but she's very much being ruled by her hormones in this case. factor in that her kid isn't even a year old yet and she was treated for PPD, and it's safe to assume that her hormones are literally all over the place and play a pretty significant role in the decisions she's making right now. i'm not going to apologize for thinking it's wrong to risk your kid's development on a hormonal whim.

Okay. Apply the breaks. Take a deep breath.

You guys were fine. You got pregnant and had a child. Husband started to prioritize his friends over you. You sought therapy for PPD while trying to maintain the marriage single-handedly. Husband at some point realized he was Douche McFuck and the marriage was at risk, so he turned on overdrive to attempt to try to fix it, but by this point you had already developed feelings for someone else. Now you don't know what to do.

Do you love your husband? Is it possible that you harbor some resentment for him due to his emotional (and possibly physical?) neglect of the marriage and the relationship between the two of you?

People fall out of love. It's a thing that happens. It sucks, but can be a natural change due to the progression of relationships. You can't force yourself to fall in love with someone.

Resentment is not easy to fix. It digs a hole where love is and it plants itself, rooting deep. You can try to weed it out, but it doesn't always work. Resentment that results from the neglect of a relationship is IMHO nearly impossible to get over.

You need to have a long, hard discussion with yourself about how you feel about your husband and marriage. Don't think about the new guy, don't think about him in any context. He is irrelevant. What matters is you, your husband, and your child.

I would suggest attending couple's counseling. The issue with that is that both people need to be committed to repairing the relationship, so if neither of you are fully committed, it won't work. It is absolutely possible to rekindle the fire, especially if both of you want it and the drive is there.

On the flip….

There is 100% nothing wrong with leaving the marriage amicably. This leaves the door open for outstanding co-parenting that results in a happy child who has happy parents. This requires a realization from both parents that the relationship can no longer be maintained for any number of reasons.

The opposite is holding on to the marriage for the sake of the child, when you and/or your partner are no longer invested in each other or in maintaining the relationship. This builds resentment and anger, and leads to an angry household. This also usually leads to angry divorces and difficult co-parenting.

Under no circumstances should you factor in this new guy when it comes to what is best for your family. I'm going to say it again: The new guy is irrelevant. When you are sitting down and thinking about what you want out of your marriage, what road you think is best to take, etc., you do not once think about him. He is irrelevant. Pretend he does not exist. You need to be able to combat this problem objectively, and you can't if you drag him into it. So don't.

Maybe tell them that they are wonderful, but simply not compatible with what you are looking for in your life and that there are literally countless women out there that value and desire what they have to offer. That is, they're not not good or a disappointment, just, that you simply need something different. It's not a value judgement, but just a mismatch. This may not work for you, but it makes logical sense to me. I've tried to explain this to men, but they believe I'm lying or pull some sadsack bullshit, so idk if it's good advice.

She sounds a lot like me. I'm sorry you're feeling this guilt. I think the best thing your can do is just to be there for her. Keep doing what you're doing. Go and visit her or invite her to visit you if that's possible. Are either of you into gaming? That's something you can do together and could be an outlet for her. It isn't a perfect hobby but it's better than nothing. TF2 is free and it's old, so it runs on most computers.
Do you think she could have avoidant personality disorder? That's my issue and over time all my relationships outside my immediate family have withered away.

(Sorry posted this in wrong thread earlier. Didn't see this one.)
Storytime anons.

This happened long ago and it bothers me to this day. Especially the invasion of privacy.

So when I was 11 I went to my first birthday slumber party! It was a big step for an introvert like me. There was a pool, trampoline and BBQ going on. Everything was fine up until the birthday girl's mom came to the backyard yelling "Someone stole the all birthday money!" everyone just stopped doing what they were doing and were confused.

Let me tell you, the mom had the money last. She was no where to be seen for like an hour.

So as she is making a scene she goes through ALL the bags and backpacks immediately, she even does pat downs and got the girls to reach into their bikinis in front of her (and this weird fat dude who sat in the corner watching all the girls who was apparently a family friend).

Alas! No money to be found. So the mom begins to call all the parents asking for more money. (from what I remember it was about $160 in total of birthday money "stolen"). She did end up getting more money from parents but not as much. Doesn't matter though because it was still profit.

Fast forward to when I was about 15.

I found out that the mom did this on alot of her daughters birthdays. I also found out that the mom and her boyfriend were drug dealers and the mom was a "recovering" drug addict.

My theory is that the rummaging around in bags was that if a girl had money to go to the store for candy or something she would claim it is her daughters birthday money and take it.


TL;DR Drug addicted mom scams her daughters birthday parties for money.

This bothered me for years and I know it's probably petty.

You seem like a great friend, she's lucky to have you. I think trying to connect over games is a great idea, but if she's not receptive to trying it out, maybe you could try encouraging her to do something artistic? Drawing, painting, maybe even something like knitting or crocheting? It's relaxing and could be a good outlet for any pent up emotions she may have. Plus the outcome is satisfying and wholesome, she could use the art she makes to decorate her space and make it feel more like a home than a prison of depression (at least that's how I can feel about my living space sometimes, speaking as a depressed shut-in myself). And with knitting/sewing/crocheting the end result is something actually functional and practical, so it could help her to feel more productive.

It's also something you could kind of do together, even if you're not physically with each other, you can skype/facetime with her and you can both paint or knit or whatever together. I know with my depression, it's hard to find the motivation to even do something as simple as just doodling, so her having you alongside her (even on a computer screen) doing the same thing could be a motivator, and you guys can goof around and have fun with it, like each of you trying to follow the same Bob Ross video or something like that.

I really want to go to the (free!!) gym at my school but now I know several people who go there regularly and I'm afraid of running into them and have them judge and hate me. This wouldn't be an issue if I'd just fucking gone at the beginning of the school year, but of course at that point I was afraid of strangers judging me so didn't go.

I'll probably end up paying to go to a gym elsewhere just to avoid this. It's so pathetic, I wish I wasn't like this. Best end is just sucking it up and grinning and bearing it if I see someone. But I am a coward.

My brain goes purely into flight mode when anyone talks to me, parents, acquaintances, anyone. I'll say whatever will end the conversation quickly even if it isnt true, or it'll be like a super watered-down, nonsense version of a real answer. Sometimes it's just a shrug and then I leave to literally anywhere else. My brain (even my eyesight) goes into this big foggy haze of panic and nobody has the time to give to let me even process what they said or come up with an answer before they move onto the next thing. It's mostly my anxiety but I also know that people dont actually care what I say next, so even if I can think straight, there's no point to giving them a real response or say anything well thought-out. This is especially true with my parents because in their eyes im kinda just a shell of a human. My dad literally waves me away and my mom prefers to hear herself talk and only likes people who enable her shitty pov.

Now I'm just sad.

My ex’s current girlfriend is weirdly obsessed with me.

tl;dr my mom narc raged at me and argued in a circle with me for two hours because I just asked her to copy and paste a job listing to send to me

Background: I've been living at home for a couple of months since I left my ex of four years, and quit my call center job that was making me sick and was too far of a commute away from here to keep. I've been pining for an actual career because I have two degrees. I was hoping that when my parents were being supportive when they offered me to move here, that they knew I wasn't going to be picking up Mcdonalds just for a job. Because if so, then, why'd I bother leaving my shitbag ex and quitting a miserable job just to lose my independence anyway and hop right into another shitty job with even less pay?
They live out in the middle of nowhere so it's difficult. I apply to several jobs a week but what I want to hunt for comes very limitedly, and I've straight up received email rejections and have been ghosted by recruiters.
The main federal job I'd been after since June was halted because the president shut down the government, there's no HR to call to check on my status. I've been in a miserable limbo and all my savings are gone because I still have bills to pay.

My mom resents me, she's a narcissist so she sees my being back here as a failure of my character. How dare I be unemployed because don't I know that reflects poorly on her as a parent? She's constantly on my ass, but I knew this would happen by moving back home–I just really didn't have a choice. My stepdad wasn't going to let me be homeless so he insisted I come here to stay.

My mom hates other women (my dad agrees), because my grandmother raised her with the same spite towards her yet leniency towards her brothers. Misogynists. My mom married abusive men and took on shitty jobs because my grandma resented her whenever she needed to live at home. So mom did whatever it took to avoid going back. It's because of that dynamic that she married my bio dad (who cheated, beat her, and threatened her life); after I was born, she divorced him and moved back home temporarily. My grandmother was an unreasonable bitch to my mom while she was vulnerable, single, and had me as a baby. Everyday grandma harassed her about finding work, or complained about having to watch me, until she found employment and moved out. Meanwhile my mom's brother, a state prison employee who had all the means to live on his own, lived with my grandparents until he was 50. They were completely okay with it! My male cousin was a miscreant who got into trouble with the law and crashed many cars, but each time my grandparents would front lawyers, new cars, and grease his palms whenever he asked for money. Men got preferential treatment in my mom's family, while women were servants and scapegoats to men.
This is how my mom treats me. My stepdad agrees that this is what is happening.

——————-

So today I was sitting on the couch watching the Ted Bundy series on Netflix while browsing my phone. It was about 11am.
My first sin was telling my mom that I didn't feel like going for a walk with her today. I just wanted to relax, and yes, be a bum.
She was going to crucify me because I wasn't making myself look busy. Because if I'm not making it my job to hunt for jobs for 8 hours straight, I need to be doing chores, or cooking, or cleaning. I'm female, it's only right to prove my gratitude.

I know when my mom's looking for an argument. Her body language gets stalky; like a predator circling its prey trying to find a weakness in its defenses. She has all day to pick a fight, she's a retired pensioner who lives in this ivory subdevelopment tower; and I have all day to be the target because I'm unemployed and don't leave because I can't afford the gas in my car. My stepdad leaves for work at 5am, so she has all day until 4pm to start shit when no one's around to witness what she'll do and say to me.

First, the bait. Because all this is really about is how I'm a useless fuck of a woman, but she can't say that outright so she's gotta begin with seemingly good intentions so she can lead into her tirade. I know her score and I've been victim to her shit as a teenager when I couldn't flee then.
>"Anon have you applied for jobs recently?"
Yes.
>"Are you sure? You must be doing something wrong, I don't see how you could be hearing nothing back."
Explanation about the recruiters, how many companies don't have HR to contact, how I've been rejected, etc.
>"I still don't understand. Have you been reaching out?"
Yes, when I can do so and there's a number and email listed.
>"Then tell me what you've applied for recently. You're doing something wrong."
With more annoyance in my tone (because I know she's building up), I explained. She was putting me on the spot too.
So she came back into the room with her clunky laptop with some kind of state assistant listing.
>"Apply to this anon, right now."
I didn't decline, but I told her how if she would send me the link I would apply to it later because I wanted to watch my show.
Tbh it's neither here nor there about applying right then or at 6pm, a state application isn't gonna get feedback sameday. Again, it wasn't about jobs, it was about her need to make me dance like a puppet. I wanted to watch my show, and that irritated the piss out of her because it wasn't busywork.
>"NO, you apply RIGHT NOW on my laptop. I want to see you do it."
My resume and docs aren't even on her laptop, and no, I was watching my show. If she would copy and paste the link and send it to me I would gladly do it later when I'm finished.

She laid into me and went into rage. She said that I'm making excuses, and said that I love being lazy and unemployed. She Pixyteri'd me and even went into a rant about how I never bathe and groom (lol, untrue, just the other day she told me I was 'overdressed' for dinner), among other horrible lies and criticisms. I wish I could say I remember everything she says, but when someone starts to yell at me and stress me out, I mentally retreat to spare my mind from verbal abuse. She says the most ridiculous and irrational shit to me until I give her a response, and from there she's like a shark that's tasted blood and the frenzy doesn't stop.

She argued in so many circles and berated me so badly, that I reminded her that this all started because I had asked her to just copy and paste the job link to send to me, not that I said I wouldn't apply for it.
>"WELL YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT SO WHAT YOU SHOULDA DONE IS WALKED YOUR ASS TO THAT TABLE TO SHOW ME. THIS IS ON YOU."
I tried to say through tears coming down my face, that even if I hadn't shown her countless times before on how to copy and paste, her behavior to me was still unacceptable. I was only getting defensive because she was attacking me. She DARVO'd.
>"DON'T YOU PSYCHOANALYZE ME!!!!!"
I didn't, but it happens whenever anyone tries to bring the argument back to the original points. She thinks people pointing at her behaviors is psychoanalytical tripe.
At this point she's completely unhinged. I'm crying and trying to ignore her, but she just went too far. I was texting my stepdad about what she was saying. But she's notorious for her famous several-hour-long arguments. She'll run an argument straight into hell, 10x worse than any infight I've ever seen on lolcow.
When I try to avoid saying anything back, she starts to bait me again. She said mockingly,
>"And don't you make this about how you're so sad, wahhhhh, wahhhh, WAHHHH. And bring up your anxiety. Because you know what? Everyone has anxiety. not just YOU."
She's referring to the anxiety attacks I used to get when I worked at the call center, or when my ex wouldn't help me around the apartment. I've never used my anxiety as an excuse to justify my unemployment, and even my stepdad said I've never done that. She was being hateful.

She wouldn't leave me alone. I yelled back at her about how it was a mistake to have moved back here, I just didn't have a choice. I wanted her to stop being so mean and to leave me alone.
I asked her to "Please stop."
>"Leave you alone? Oh, well if you want to be alone and leave here so badly your car is right outside. YOU leave. It's my house and I'll do whatever the fuck I want and say whatever I want."
My stepdad wanted me to call him as all this is happening, but I told him I couldn't because she'd bite my head off even worse. (The last time I did this was when I was a teenager; I went to the bathroom to call him and she busted down the door because she knew I was contacting someone). He told me to get away and go to the local park until he got out of work so he could meet me there and talk. And so I wouldn't have to be alone with her.
She wasn't done with me yet, there was no break for me to leave.
It would be two minutes of silence, and then her coming back to yell or bait me some more.
>"I'm sorry for what I said to you, BUT someone had to tell you the truth and I just have no sympathy for you."
She can't even fucking sincerely apologize, she's that much of a narc. I turned my head away and ignored her again.
>"Um hellooooo? Are you listening to me???"
I tried not to say anything back.
>"You know what it is anon, I think you're depressed. You know I'm just trying to help you! If I don't light a fire under your ass then you won't!"
………..
I told her she was a bitch, to fuck herself-and congratulations-because she'd won and got my ass to move off the couch. I started to walk out the door.
>"WELL I GUESS I CAN'T SAY SHIT TO YOU ANON, I'M A PRISONER IN MY OWN HOUSE! You know what you are? Immature! Someday you'll regret what you've said to me, and then you'll wish you had me around!!"

I left and waited at the park for my stepdad for four hours. I cried uncontrollably in my car. I wanted to binge eat at a fast food place so badly, but I resisted.
My stepdad met up with me and he talked with and agreed that my mom can't be reasoned with. It's who she is, but that I won't be leaving because it's his house too so he gets a say. So we decided to come up with a plan to 'call back' some of the employers to make it look like I was busy tomorrow, even though it's not gonna do shit and will probably get me blacklisted. It's all a dog and pony show to appease my mom. I give my stepdad kudos because at least he talks to me like a human and offers tangible things to work on, whereas my mom thinks yelling and screaming and stamping her foot gets results. What grates me after all this: Is when I have success, she congratulates herself and acts like my accomplishments are all thanks to her 'support.'

On our way home, I entered the door before my dad.
My mom looked pleased with herself, you'd think nothing had happened. She saw my dad next.
She doesn't know that I let my stepdad know what she did and said to me.
So she's pretending that nothing had happened, didn't mention the big blowout she had. Usually I don't tell anyone the abuses either, so she gets away with a lot all the time. Like a proper calculating narcissist, she compartmentalizes the argument and pretends that our relationship is normal when other people are around. And my stepdad won't bring up how he knows, because it's too much of a hassle and she'll just go off on him too. She gets to have her cake and eat it too.

I can't wait until I move out again. I hate this place. And if not for the unconditional love of my stepdad I probably would have necked myself long ago.
She wonders why, and blames me, as to why we don't have a mother daughter relationship as seen on TLC. I'm so disgusted with her, and I don't think I can ever forgive her. She's too far gone, and now that she's in her 60s she gets more neurotic by the year. It won't ever get better, and the only time I can have a semblance of a civil relationship with her is when I live on my own. When I can see her on my own terms, which is usually once a month, tops, and when my stepdad is present. I wish I could have been born a man, or not at all.

I've always loved putting together fantasy outfits (with both bought and self-made parts) but I suck at it. I absolutely suck!
I spend so much time thinking of the "perfect" combination but when I look at the pictures afterwards, it always looks frumpy to me. In fact, for all the time I've spend on this, I've never once looked good.
Even after losing lots of weight and taking better care of myself, I still look shitty. It's not even that I'm extremely ugly (after losing the weight), it's time to face that I just suck at outfits and give up…

Even at regular clothes, I always try to look nice like those girls on instagram but I've been trying for years and I still just look like a boring nerd.

I feel like I'm years and years behind all my peers in development. I'm almost 22 yet I feel like an ugly overgrown child. ftr I'm not a neet, I study and I have a job, just haven't had a social life past the age of 13/4. My only friend my age is my roommate and 8 times out of 10 I think she hates me (fair enough, I have a heavy personality and the loneliness isn't helping it), she's moving out this summer anyway. I have some friends from home I text with still but it isn't same when you only meet in person once every few years if that. Have never dated anyone, haven't had a crush on anyone in last 7-8 years either. I think I could have social anxiety based on the fact that being around people makes me extremely nervous and I have developed numerous ridiculous rules and coping strategies to cope but it also could be just the weight of numerous failures to make friends and self hatred. Not that pondering on that is remotely useful as I wouldn't go to doctors to get diagnosed or anything, can't really go anywhere but the established grocery stores, work and campus buildings.
it's real sad sack hours rn, got triggered watching some shitty video of people my age looking handsome and having fun.

Maybe you could try looking at some folk costumes from around the world to get some baseline and improvise from that?

my brother gets pissy every time something doesn’t work out and I wish I wasn’t so terrified of it. we had some seating trouble at a theater this weekend and all I could think of during the movie and after was how mad he was going to be on the ride home even though it wasn’t my fault (I offered to go alone the day before and the day of anyway…)

My body got used to only shitting when I’m home and now it’s the third day I haven’t taken a shit because I’m with my bf visiting his parents and my bowels just won’t cooperate no matter how much time I spend on the toilet. Realistically it won’t happen until Thursday, because we’re only gonna be back by tomorrow’s night. I’m already bloated and losing my appetite cause there’s no room for more food not to mention physical discomfort. Can’t wait till the pain starts kicking in. I just want to take a shit jfc

I work in a lab where I plan my own hours and can show up whenever to do my work. I took a few days off because we were missing a reagent I needed and didn’t want to waste funding money by clocking time and not being productive during it. I’m 99% sure we have the reagent in now but I haven’t been in yet because my depression/grief is so overwhelming that I’ve been sleeping 13-14 hours a day and laying in bed the other 10. What makes it even worse is everyone in my lab is a terrible catty bitch and I know they’ve been talking shit in my absence and it makes me even more anxious about trying to go back now. I know I need to go back in but even thinking about it makes me want to cry.

I'm tired of my coworkers. They just won't stop having the same conversations during lunch break, they just talk about their ids and how much of a nuisance they are, but oh no, it's not like THAT, they love their kids sooo much! Or they talk about their husbands/boyfriends nonstop and make the same tired jokes about "lol I'm a wine mom, I watch porn too I'm so funny!" Since one of the managers is pregnant and is on maternity leave now, the subject of pregnancy is often brought up, and to the point of having lunch in a restaurant together and one of my coworkers was bragging about how a friend of hers sharted all over nurses and midwives while delivering her baby and how bad it smelled in the room, or how eating your own placenta is good for your health. And everyone was laughing and found it hilarious. While we were eating. It's like they were all raised in a barn, but for example when I talk about things I've seen while working retail, things that are way less inappropriate my coworkers act like I always say shocking and inappropriate things and they look at me like I have two heads. One of them is very annoying and she seems to think I'm stupid as fuck for things like my computer glitching out of nowhere for reasons out of my control, or some dude working with me half-assing his job and her expecting me to do his job instead, which I'm not even allowed.

There's only that and nothing else, too. It's like they don't do anything interesting or fun outside of work, and they're close-minded. I don't know if they act like this because I'm "just" an intern, because I'm the youngest, and not by far at all, because I'm the only one who isn't white, etc. No idea but they're weird and often inappropriate and I feel like an outsider. I was wondering if I was being paranoid but some previous interns said the similar things to me before leaving the company. I'm leaving i a month anyway but still, it's bothering me.

I have a flight in 12 hours and my anxiety is going through the roof! I'm actually excited to go, I've flown twice in the past 3 years and probably felt like this before then, but in the moment it's overwhelming. I'm getting intrusive "what if" thoughts and dissociation because my excitement is being mistaken for anxiety. I've been doing good managing my anxiety so I bet it'll fade away a few hours after our flight takes off.
I remember my flight 3 years ago I expected myself to have a panic attack on the flight and it just ended up with me having to use the bathroom like 3 times.

I like to be working again, but I don't know how I feel about my new job. They don't have a set working hours for the employees (although I do have a right time to be there - just not to leave), and I always feel pressured to work at least 8 hours, although I am only an intern (in my country, interns work for 6 hours). Not only that, I barely have time to have my lunch, usually I eat in like 10~20 minutes and get back to work (again, the law around here states that employees should have an hour of lunch time), which sucks.

Also, I live kinda far from my job, and I am always tired when I get back home, I am just so tired. I am only awake right now cause I gotta do an unrelated work for the japanese province association that I am part of.

My coworkers are pretty nice and chill (although the ceo is a bit grumpy and it gets really umcorfotable at times), but I am already thinking of leaving. The cons outweighs the pros, and the pay is not really good.

I really wish this had worked better, honestly. (But tbh, I think I won't be able to find another job for at least 8 months, so alas)

I’ve tried bringing it up to my doctor and he’s rather dismissive because I’m relatively young.

I'll be honest he did make things worse because she hung up on him and threw this huge fucking fit yelling at me and telling me to get ready and i keep telling her it's fine she doesn't have to take me anyway fast forward to us in the car, she's talking to our mom on the phone and complaining about everything then she ends up getting the car stuck in the snow and that's my fault, because i was the one that needed to go to the hospital.

I think that people focus too much on things like appearance and clothing when it comes to this issue. That's not the only way women are pressured to perform femininity. Feminism should focus more on encouraging women to develop strong character traits like assertiveness, self-confidence, bravery, and so on. In most cases, high self-esteem will eliminate the urge that women have to shave off all their body hair, plaster their face with makeup everyday purely out of insecurity, wear high heels that fuck up their knees and spine, develop eating disorders, mutilate their bodies etc.
Like yeah it's fucked up but not all things categorized as "feminine" are equally injurious to women's health and self-image.
I dress pretty butch myself most of the time but I can appreciate fashion and cute clothes. Women are human, we have the capacity to enjoy nice looking things. Honestly it's pretty silly to only consider the superficial aspects of femininity when it goes much deeper than that. It's like feeling "unfeminist" for thinking a sunset is beautiful.

I am so fed up with people glamorizing and/or trivializing depression and mental health issues. The girl in the pic posted this on insta (without her face obscured, obviously) and she captioned it "a good and warm cry". When I cry, I would describe it as sad and cold rather than good and warm. When I cry, it doesn't occur to me to post a highly staged photo on social media for the ~aesthetic~. When I cry, I'm not looking for attention from other people online; I'm fucking struggling for my life and it hurts even more to see people taking this shit lightly. When I cry, I do it alone without my bestie hovering over me with a camera phone. Why? Because my best friend died in her early 20s after a long struggle with addiction and mental health issues. And this bitch is over here making depression seem like something relatable and cute and quirky. For fuck's sake. I'm so tempted to actually comment on it and interrupt the stream of comments droning on about what an adorable baby bunny she is.

Wtf, how was Freddie Mercury an awful person aside from any of the standard "sex, drugs and rock n' roll" stuff?

If you're basing your opinion of him off of the movie- don't. It's a good movie but it's rife with historical inaccuracies.

He had the vocal range of an opera singer (nearly four octaves). Even when ye was deathly ill, he would record songs for the band. When he recorded Show Must Go On, he couldn't even walk. In life, he anonymously donated to AIDS charities, and the Mercury Phoenix Trust founded in his honor has raised millions for AIDS research.

The only truly shitty thing he dud was hide his AIDS from the public. But can you honestly blame him? He wanted to be an artist, not a social activist.

Also I wouldn't even be getting the same stuff they did done. They had a face transplant, injections, botox, etc

I'd just be getting a teeny bit of lipo and a breast… lift? Augmentation? not making them bigger but just lifting them/possibly reducing them a bit more bc theyre kinda fuckin w/ my back.

A woman told me off for taking too long to get on the train because I took two seconds checking that everyone got off before I went on.

I ride this train every day to work, it is almost always full, and the amount of people trying to edge as close to the door as possible blatantly blocking the way for people trying to get off the train drives me crazy sometimes. I wasn't even blocking this woman's way, she could have just walked past me if she was in such a hurry.

I've experienced not getting off the train before because I was stupid and struggled to get my bag off the shelf and was trampled by a herd of of perfectly grown adults squeezing through the doors. Couldn't get past them and had to get off at the next station.

Normally I can't be bothered to get upset with this, but having someone be snarky at me for practising some common human decency got on my nerves today. Sage for 1st world problems.

I don't know about that, whether that's the case or not I'm not noticing it. I really didn't have this impression of my coworkers at all until the second half of the internship and they were already acting this way. I've also noticed they're treating me more like an idiot or an annoyance when they're on edge for one reason or another, like having problems with clients and other things that have nothing to do with me and my performances. And once their problems are solved they calm down.

Maybe I'm too easy to read, maybe it's the case for everyone in the office, idk. We just got a new manager this week since the other one is on maternity leave and she's way more relaxed and less petty, and I feel like there's a positive impact on the whole team thanks to that, so it helps a bit. They're still not people I enjoy having lunch with though.

I am hopefully buying a used car this week and I'm dead anxious about it. I have bought a new car from a dealer in the past and it wasn't a big deal, but since I'm buying used this time I guess I'm scared I'll wind up a lemon. I'll be using the money I got selling my car privately plus some savings to get this 3 year old car with 30k miles on it and I'm tempted to go older and crappier because I felt safe having that money in the bank, but I need a car so I can get a job closer to me instead of taking the train for an hour, and I want the features it has. I'm also worried I won't be able to talk the dealer down; I need him to come down like 900 dollars, and I'll be paying up front, not financing, so I hope that gives me some control…but I know I have to be willing to walk away.

I hate that I get this crippling anxiety before making like any decisions ever, it completely clouds my reasonable judgment and makes me unable to act. When I signed the lease for my new house I had a panic attack and threw up all night because I was so scared I picked the wrong house (even though it's wound up being my favorite place I've ever lived and I want to stay here basically forever). All I can do is catastrophize and assume the worst outcome of every little thing. The older I get, the worse my anxiety is.

i have to move in with my family in a week because i was duped by my shitty new landlord into voiding my old lease and now i'm in a whole ass mess. he wants to move into my apartment asap so he didn't even give me a month's notice (which is illegal, but w/e i guess lol), meaning i had no time to find a new place. he told me a week ago that i had to be out - who can find a new apartment in literally two weeks? it just isn't possible.

i really really don't think i can handle living with my family though and i just don't know what to do. my autistic manchild uncle moved into my old room, so i'll probably be shoved into the basement or something. at this point i'd rather sell all my stuff and backpack across the country or some shit. or off myself idk. the only thing stopping me from leaving this town/earth/existence/whatever is my elderly grandparents. i can't just abandon my whole entire family even if i don't want to live with them. i hate this. i hate not knowing what to do and not having control of the situation. i've never felt so lost and frustrated and it really really sucks.

My mom's cooking is shit. And I'm so tired of being polite and patient when I've tried to help her in many ways to make it better but she won't fucking listen. Or she resists when I suggest things like gasp !seasoning! and all she replies with is how she 'likes her food bland.' Well, then that's why it's shit. Maybe being a chainsmoker has finally taken its toll on her tastebuds. She can't even bother to look up and follow a recipe despite not working and having all the time of day. She wings it and then she wonders why others think the food is hot garbage. It makes me mad because it's a waste of food since leftovers don't get eaten because she doesn't bother portioning ingredients either.
I can't ever cook anything nice for her because she always has a complaint, usually about the food being too ~exotic~ or some such stupidity, and she'll either pick at it like a bird or eat it begrudgingly.
She gets huffy if I cook too many meals in a row because then she acts like I'm intruding upon her space in the kitchen.

She made fish tonight and the filets were soggy and waterlogged because she just slapped them straight into an oven dish frozen with hunks of cut lemon, spring onion, garlic, and regular onion.
>"It's super buttery anon, you'll have to fish yours out."
No, the entire dish is water from the frozen filets and the film of margarine at the top does not buttery make.

I apologize if my vent is rubbish, I haven't slept in a hot minute.

Anyway since I have some sexual trauma from when I was young it is a topic that is brought up somewhat frequently in therapy. This past session my therapist wanted to talk more about previous romantic relationships. She ended up asking about my sex lives with them, so now I come to the topic of this vent post:

My therapist believes I was raped in my previous relationship. But is it rape if I don't really have any bad feelings about it? She said that if I was forced into sex at any point, if I said I wasn't in the mood or didn't want to but he still went for it, it is considered rape. Even with her saying that and me knowing full well what rape is, I feel like it would be overreacting to suddenly think that was the case with him. Sure I had times where I told him I wasn't into it and let him do stuff anyway, but I feel that's just normal and 100% on me no matter how you slice it. Its been 4 years and I do have a lot of regrets from that relationship, but none of them have ever really been about the sex. Is my therapist overreacting? I almost feel like she's overstepping some boundary by insisting I was raped and saying I may be internalizing feelings about it without knowing. I don't really know how to feel but it's starting to stress me out. It somehow feels like I've failed myself? I don't know if that's true or if I'm just letting what my therapist said get to me because I'm having a bad week. i just really needed to get this out somewhere.

Anyone else unable to make eye contact with beautiful people? I can't be the only one like this right? Someone earlier in the thread talked about facial dysphoria and that so accurately describes what I'm feeling.

I can't look at anyone beautiful (esp men!) irl, and lately not even manga too. I just think I'm so ugly and undeserving to look at them. I also feel so intimidated whenever I draw someone in a "pretty" style, or have an ideal body type, when such an unfortunate, dumpy artist is doing it. I can't look at my creations in the face. I'd post an example of how I intentionally "uglify" my creations but i don't want it to be seen. I wonder if this is why some fat dumpy tumblrinas draw them the way they do? Sometimes I think I want to become a furry so I don't feel so humiliated drawing people. I also wonder if I will end up with a short, balding, manlet beta boyfriend because I don't think I deserve any better, especially to "look up" at a tall beautiful man.

That kind of behavior in relationships is unfortunately such a normalised thing that many people don't even recognise it as wrong (including the guys that are doing it) but it's your body and your choice how to feel about it. It's understandable that she is concerned and I would would suggest taking awareness of this into future relationships but if you feel that in the confines of that particular relationship where you felt trust and care that you're fine, then that's your decision and nobody can tell you what's wrong or right to feel about your own body.

I am most certainly annoyed with this whole situation but I think what's getting to me is that in my mind I'm starting to question if I was manipulated into feeling ok with everything whether by him or by my idiot self. does that make sense?
I've been told I have a tendency to downplay situations and feelings because of an "I don't have it as bad as others" mindset (one of the few reasons I'm in therapy in the first place).

I got a nasty second degree steam burn on my thumb while cooking at the beginning of the month.

The blister was really fucking big and eventually popped in my sleep. No big deal, I was treating it with a triple antibiotic ointment and using antibacterial soap to keep it clean. I also was keeping it wrapped up in gauze and secured with a bandage.

I decided to forego the bandage for one night after the dead blister skin came off. The next morning it's itching like a motherfucker, bumps starting to appear where the hair follicles on my thumb are.

I figured it's a mild case of folliculitis and would clear up on it's own. I was wrong as fuck. It began to spread. I finally went to the doctor yesterday and was put on Bactrim and given some Diflucan to keep yeast infections at bay while I take this stuff. Apparently it's cellulitis, not folliculitis. I was put on the strong stuff to knock it out of me.

This sucks mostly because I'm flying home next week to see my family and I am hoping it clears up by then and that the antibiotic doesn't give me bad side effects. Reading about sulfa allergies has made me nervous, I'm already allergic to penicillin and don't want to have to go to the ER. Been there, done that.

Pray for me anons. I just wanna have a nice visit home with my family and not to have to deal with any nasty side effects or itching cellulitis anymore.

Does your depression ever effect your ability to become attracted to someone, anons?

I'm so fucking lonely and trying to fix it. But I've been through all of the people on bumble, tinder, and hinge in my area or 2 hours away.
The rare times I do say yes to someone, I don't feel like talking to them and I feel nothing towards them.
I would almost think I'm asexual but I know that's not true. I've completely fallen for a couple guys in the past.
I just don't know what's wrong with me. There are rare times I do like guys a lot. But those guys have treated me badly. And maybe that is part of it. But I don't know. I have liked guys purely from a picture before, or starting that way (seeing them on social media first). I'm the kind of person who gets super uncomfortable if I were to go out with someone I don't really like and have to worry if they will try to kiss me or something.

Ok nevermind, I'm definitely not imagining it. My coworkers were actually being rude or ignoring me because they thought I was way younger than them even though we're all the same age (mid-twenties). The topic of technologies came up for some reasons and we were talking about when we first had access to the internet, stuff like that, and when I said something about it one of them cut me off and almost yelled that I'm not their age so I should not give my opinion. This bitch is only a few months older than me. This specific coworker was raised in a barn, I'm 100% sure of it because it's not even like she was being curious and contributing to the discussion, she just wanted me to shut up so she could talk more than everyone else. I'm sure they thought I'm way younger than the team because I'm an intern but half of us are interns so that's not an excuse. Even if I were just 18yo if I'm working my ass of for less than minimum wage and no recognition then I can contribute to whatever discussions we're having anyway.

My bf thought I was ignoring him when I wasn't. I showed him that my texts and calls just must not have gone through and he still is treating me coldly as if I actually did ignore him because "What do you want me to do? It doesn't change how I've felt. My feelings don't just immediately disappear."

Is this not major retardation? When I realize someone HASN'T been ignoring me and actually misses me, I immediately am relieved and comforted. Is it me or does this not sound like he WANTS to feel hurt and like I'm a huge asshole? He is pretty autismal when it comes to emotions and generally takes a long time to calm down from being angry or hurt or anything negative, but is this ridiculous or what? I feel manipulated by it tbh. Like when I haven't even done anything wrong it's like I get treated like it's my fault

I finally split with my boyfriend after having enough of him just yesterday.

I really do love and care for him, but the final straw was when I refused to have sex and he started going at me about how I can't hold promises or compromises and how that really hurts him. Eventually, I just had enough and told him that it's time to split, especially since he was always constantly arguing and whining about how I wouldn't do X and how he began to demand my time a lot; even when I was busy.

Now he's apparently on the verge of suicide and posting cryptic things on the internet. My friends tell me he isn't a stable man and that I should not come back to him, and I'm getting my phone blown up. I'm terrified and I don't know what to do. I haven't had anyone be this obsessive over me, and I feel like I'm responsible if this man hurts himself.

Do you actually see any genuinely loving relationships around you? If you do, how many mediocre, shitty or downright abusive relationships do you see in comparison? I'm guessing the shitty ones far outweigh the truly loving ones.

Romantic relationships and the idea of such are compulsively pushed in male dominated societies as a means of producing more male children and now recently, they're being used to create the next line of (male) consumers.

3 months ago I hooked up with a really cute guy who at the time was visiting my city for a couple of days. I kinda developed a crush on him but since we don't even live in the same country there was no future for us anyways. We did befriend each other on Facebook though, just in case.
A couple of days ago I saw that he'd followed me on Instagram and got really excited since I hadn't heard from him in a while. I followed him back immediately, but today I realized that he has unfollowed me since. I get that following/ unfollowing people is a way to gain followers but I'm kinda upset he'd do it with people he has actually met in real life..

I'm heterosexual myself and I obviously still have sexual and romantic desires. Are people not allowed to critique societal norms or something?

It does force people to stay in relationships they hate and have kids they resent and ultimately abuse.

Clearly that wasn't your intention though (to deny the existence of genuine attachment occurring ever), so again, sorry for misunderstanding there.

The GP is literally there for non-emergency/non-specialist medical issues, you have to wait two weeks before you go see a doctor - this is terrible advice. It’s literally their fucking job to take in low-risk patients so that they can give them help before it escalates.

Going to write this as a sort of TL;DR, don't want to go into too much detail.

My fiance is an alcoholic. He used to drink to excess literally every day and would get really aggressive and abusive (physically and verbally, also sexually I guess). Got to the point of leaving him a few times, but always ended up going back because I had no idea what to do with my life alone.

About a month ago, I finally got fed up with it and was about to leave for good (again). He started literally sobbing and got on the floor begging me not to leave. Said he'd never drink again and go to AA and whatnot. He has never been like this, ever, he's always that annoyingly macho type of person that's all "hurr guys can't ever show their emotions," like RedPill shit. I was like "I literally don't believe you at all and don't think you're ever going to change but I can't bear to see you hurting like this so I'll stay I guess." And that was more or less that.

Fast forward a week, he asks if I want to get wine, I embarrassingly start crying because I had foolishly started imagining a life with him where he was actually sober. He sort of reneges on the 'not drinking ever' thing to make it a 'not drinking while around you' thing. I am avoidant and depressed and just let it go because I don't want to argue. He also said that it was my fault for him getting aggressive when drunk and that he was always fine with having a few drinks before he met me (spoiler, he wasn't).

After that, he starts drinking in his car and hiding it from me. I have known he's been doing this for about three weeks now, every day after work and when he "goes to the gym," which he does more than ever now (hmmm). I pretend not to know and sort of convinced myself I was wrong despite all the obvious signs, until yesterday when I went down to the communal trash area to take pictures of the beer cans I knew would be there after he came back from work. He also just casually ordered a beer when we were out a few days ago and I was too pussy to say anything then because I didn't want to ruin the night.

Still haven't confronted him about it. IDK, I know I should have just left him ages ago, but I am just so depressed I can't imagine starting my life over. I have literally no friends or acquaintances or family so I'd just be totally on my own. I also don't have a job or practically any experience or education.

I would just leave him while he's at work but I did that one time and it really devastated him, I would feel too cruel doing it again. But he's so manipulative and I'm such a doormat that I feel like he would be able to talk me out of leaving like he did last time. We're both just wasting each others' time at this rate, though; need to just get it over with. But I am so content to just sit around and do nothing. So hard to force myself into action. Yet the longer I wait, the less strength I will have.

Most of the time I just fantasize about getting hit by a train so I get the decision taken out of my hands and don't actually have to do anything lmao.

I know the obvious answer is obviously to dump his ass. Just wanted to type out my frustration here. I hope I can not be a complete idiot and work up the nerve to move out later this week.

I have two midterms this coming Friday but I can't study. I fucked up my reading week staying in bed due to some fucked up circumstances and I just feel like shit. I can't focus, and if I do, I only focus for about 10 to 15 minutes. At this point, failure seems inevitable. I would ask my friend to study with me on campus, but I don't want to make her come here just because of my inability to study. I hate this. I don't understand much of what is going on for the midterms and I have an overwhelming desire to cry but also of apathy.

Lastly, my crush, while drunk (I don't know how drunk he was), told me that he loved me and that he was excited that I was flying down to see my friends, which includes him. Obviously, drunk words don't mean much and I had a feeling that he just kind of says this to other girls. That feeling was confirmed by my friend when he said "There are a lot of girls in his life".

I have a purebred dog that I rescued when she was 3 months old. Her owner died unexpectedly and no one in the family could take care of her. She doesn't have any issues. Purebred dogs actually tend to have more issues, health wise, than mutts though. Nothing wrong with wanting a puppy, specific breed, or even a specific color imo, but there's zero excuse to buy a dog.

There are plenty of rescue organizations for purebred dogs. Look up "x dog breed" + "rescue" (there are often local, regional, national levels of these), fill out an adoption application, and ask them to contact you when they have puppies.

or they're actually people who have owned purebred dogs and realized they had a fuckton of issues (myself included)? the majority of breeders are not 'responsible', anyhow, despite their declarations and self serving promotion about how their operation is somehow 'ethical'. breeding is never ethical when there are animals desperately in need of a home. sorry but people who demand purebreds don't love dogs at all and are shit people. there is no shortage of dogs that are similarly as docile as purebreds and puppies at shelters. anyone defending adopting from breeders is just trying desperately to rationalize their selfishness.

semi-drunken vent, sorry.

i decided to save sex for marriage/true love when i was really young, like 9 or 10, and i'm now in my twenties and still an unmarried virgin. it's fine with me, it really is. i'm not a very sexual person, and if i have an urge i can take care of it myself. plus i see most guys as being scum anyway. i even made it through a somewhat serious, two year-long relationship without giving in and having any kind of sex with my ex. but lately i've had the urge to throw my morals out the window and hook up with a random guy. it's kind of like the feeling i get when i hold a knife or something and think to myself, "holy shit, i could stab myself with this"; like, i'm not actually going to stab myself but i still have that intrusive thought telling me that i could if i wanted to. the same goes for guys now - i see a really attractive guy or one flirts with me and i think to myself how easy it would be to just give in and sleep with one of them. i guess the worst part is that after breaking up with my ex, i don't even know if i believe in love at all anymore, so there's a part of me that genuinely wonders why i still care so much about saving my virginity. if i'm not going to find that true love i thought i would as a kid because it doesn't even exist, why bother 'preserving' myself for it? i don't know.

I honestly wouldn't recommend it. Not necessarily because your virginity is so special, but because I think 'if in doubt, don't' is a good guideline for sex related decisions.

You don't need to cling to preserving your virginity, but if you really WANT it (rather than just thinking it would be easy) you should go for it. It might take being in another relationship, or it might just take a guy who is crazy hot. But if you're on the fence, it's probably not gonna be worth your while.

I feel bad for my siblings who still live at home and have to deal with him way more than I do.

I'm so worried right now. I've been visiting a therapist since last year, everything was going just right, until i noticed something weird: she didn't diagnose anything yet, i didn't really care about it as i thought she was taking her time to see what the fuck is wrong with me, so i didn't say anything…until yesterday. I casually asked if i had something she should tell me about, and she said: "I don't think i should tell you because i have hopes on you, maybe you can grow of it or not" i understand what she said, but i really want to know what it is, i've been living almost a decade on a fucking hell just for some "unnindentified", temporary mental illness? then when she saw i was a little worried about it (even when i was always chill and never reacted like this until now) she literally rushed me outside and told me the session was "over" even when we talked like for 15 minutes.

Personally I regret waiting so long (20s as well). The whole thing about waiting for marriage works for people who fall in love easily, find attraction coming to them easily and have romantic personalities. I wasn't one of those people and it doesn't seem like you are either. And the whole thing about waiting for 'someone special' is parroted by secular people who might otherwise think there is something sweet or cutesy about a virginal woman, they're horrified by the prospect of a virgin deciding against waiting. The perspective I never saw shared was one of sating curiosity and the simple desire to experience sexual relations and interact with the opposite sex. And that's fine, but I rarely saw those sentiments oriented at virgins, as if was an outlook that was only ok after you'd had your special deflowering and weren't a delicate virgin anymore. I highly doubt you will regret not preserving your virginity. If you ever had it in mind to wait for marriage in the first place I think you've been affected by religious views and the judgement of other people and it still affects you.

sometimes therapists will not tell you your diagnosis bc they think it will affect your state of mind in some way. like, if your therapist said that you have bpd for example (bpd is quite common for this I think), they may not tell you bc there's a negative stigma attached and from what I know, no targeted medication to treat it; continuing to meet with a therapist is usually the best course of treatment. maybe she thinks if you are formally diagnosed with something, it will reverse some of your progress? like it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy or something if that makes sense.

That makes a lot of sense actually, thanks for your answer, none of my family knows how to handle this type of things and i don't have many friends since i moved recently.

I just want to sad vent. I'm in a bad place emotionally today. I should've never left my ex. He was a good man, always respected me, did everything for me. Basically, I just got bored and thought that meant our relationship was bad. Now, I'm in another relationship with likely the biggest asshole I've ever met that doesn't really act like he gives a fuck about me, just keeps me around to be a mommy he can fuck whenever and abuse when he's had a bad day. But I stay because I feel like this is the hell I deserve for treating my ex the way I did. I know he still cares for me, probably loves me, but I can't fucking let myself admit to him or anyone else that I was wrong.

You spending all of this money on training classes and hiring someone else to do the work for you doesn't magically make you a good pet owner, especially since you're making it out as if the dog is going to be an accessory and you already sound like it's a nuisance to you.

I was diagnosed with BPD but I can't relate with other people that have this diagnosis and I'm starting to feel like I was misdiagnosed.

I used to self-harm and I have bad dissociation symptoms and I'm insecure and get angry, but I don't feel like I've ever been toxic to the people around me I never lash out on anyone and I never seek attention and I never ever thought of manipulating someone and I also don't have abandonment issues. I'm afraid of social isolation, but I'm not afraid of certain people leaving me.

I had friends that had BPD and they became very toxic in a short period of time because they would try to blame me and guilt-trip me over everything. I always try to be reasonable, I wouldn't blame someone for my mistakes.

His parents letting him get away with everything really is hurting him. He actually used to be a lot worse. Way more violent and constantly threatening to kill himself and others anytime he didn't get his way. But he's finally started going to school, and I think that's teaching him some manners, and better ways to express himself. Even though he's still pretty violent, throwing glass bottles and playing with fire. And he's also discovered touching himself, and spends hours in the bathroom…eugh. The two siblings who still live at home, both have jobs, and try to stay away from home as much as possible, and one is going to be moving out once they are done with high school. I have a feeling neither of them are allowed to say anything negative about our little brother or they are made to feel ashamed for being so awful to a poor kid with autism. I was made to feel like shit for not wanting to hang around him. I hope they can both move away soon. I know their mom expects one of them to watch and take care of him forever once she and our dad get too old, which is a completely unfair.

I can't help but feel I'm just a rebound though, the reason why his home was so bare bones was because his wife divorced and left in November.

I hate myself for reaching this point but at the same time I'm baffled since I don't eat sugary stuff or junk food.

Okay so i had this friend who was very close to me many years ago, and we had a falling out because i was mentally unstable and she was always trying to control the situation and being all "you need to go back to the church", which drove me over the edge.
Basically, more than 5 years have passed since this falling out and i recently tried to reconnect with her because hey, i was 14-15 and dumb and making mistakes and i missed her friendship which was very good when we didn't fight because of the stupid shit i did very frequently thanks to my emotional instability. I came clear, apologized for all the shitty stuff that happened on my part and told her i wanted to reconnect. She didn't accept it, which is like, fine, some people just don't want to go back to the past, but the reasons she gave me were so stupid i'm just annoyed.
She said she didn't want to be with me because i'm wiccan (i'm not wiccan, i just have an interest in occultism) and this is bringing evil spirits onto me and she "can't stand my darkness" and "gets headaches near me" amongst citing stuff from 5-6 years ago (like my difficult relationship with my mother, which i solved because i'm not a stupid teen anymore) as reasons of why my life is failing.
I won't try to get close to her anymore, and this sounds like a bunch of bullshit excuses, but i guess what killed me the most is that i grew up and changed, and i was expecting her to have changed now that we're both adults, but she is the same as she was when we fell out. I'm just frustrated, i guess.

I set all of this up on my own (I picked the boyfriend, I decided to move away from family, I picked my career knowing it was kind of easy for me mentally) but i don't see how my life will improve. I'm at "the wall" (sorry for redpill memes) and Ive heard the pool of decent guys plummens fast as you approach 30s and beyond. All the beautiful things I hoped for my life when I was younger like marry into a loving family, have a partner who is a friend and is supportive and likes doing more than playing Vidya and smoking weed, having mentally rewarding life, etc. Is all out of reach for me. On top of this, I'm shy and awkward and weird and cannot make friends. I have no motivation to even do basic things like read or go for walks anymore. I don't enjoy anything. My looks are TANKING fast. I was never beautiful to begin with but now I'm aging on top of it.

When I am forward and talk alot, I say stuff that people laugh at or make fun of me (possible aspie, I am in engineering so maybe) so it's better in the long run to not try. Most people seem to have their family be their social safety net and I can't really rely on mine, therefore I believe I'd need to marry to have that.

I don't make a whole lot of money though, so finding a place for me to live by myself is kinda overwhelming. The major apartment websites offer me like, three places to live between my house and work (a 40 minute drive), which I can and probably will check, but I decided to look into income-based stuff too and that didn't make anything better. I'm just feeling overwhelmed in general and there's not really anyone I know who can help.
The county my work is in just charges more for everything in general, whereas mine can be dumpy in places, and me looking at cheap places is definitely going to lead somewhere dumpy I'm afraid

There’s discourse dropping in my section of the fandom internet about how being “parasocial” is toxic

>Parasocial interaction (PSI), as originally hypothesized by Horton and Wohl (1956), offers an explanation of the ways in which audience members develop their one-sided relationships with the media being consumed


Of course, this is literally ever woman who is in a fandom, ever, but now it feels like the more “respectable adult” fans are using buzzwords to shame the autists out of their spaces.

My parents got into a car crash and we actually had grounds to force the guy to give us between 1,332 and 1599 USD, but my mom fucking didn't. She KNEW we could have used that money for our own good to repair our house. She fucking KNEW THAT, and she also KNEW that HER name is on the case so nobody but HER can get the money. She fucking didn't!! She skimped me and my dad out over a thousand dollars because she's a raging fucking whore that wants to sit on her bed all day, be a lazy boomer and look at facebook and instagram. I'm so fucking mad, and there's NOTHING i can do about it. I've yelled at her, talked to her countless times, I've done everything short of beating the shit out of her. There's this MASSIVE opportunity to earn us a better living and she's sitting on her ass. We've got therapy to pay, medication to buy every month, a house that needs repairs, and she's IGNORING it.

Everything is honestly so painful. So many missed opportunities, so many people telling me to 'take control of my life' when shit was completely out of my control. It was people either sticking their slimy fingers into my life and me being too young and immature to know how to intervene, or me seeing opportunities and acting on them and somehow getting cucked out of it completely by chance. How the fuck are you just supposed to "take control of your life" when you're a toddler completely at the mercy of everyone that walks beside you, including other children? How was i supposed to know that people abusing me and berating me wasn't normal? Now i'm in mid twenties, completely filled with childhood trauma that everyone tells me to just "Move on.". How? Genuinely How? How do i unwrite years of traumatic wiring that has been fermenting ever since i barely was a toddler?

I stayed a virgin until I met my husband. I didn't plan for it to happen like that, it just sort of did through a series of circumstances that relate back to my childhood.
Like you I had a negative view of men and sex in general. This came from what happened when I was growing up. It left me with a hatred of men and a belief that relationships were pointless because it would only ever end badly. As I got older this culminated in serious issues with trust and social anxiety that had their own consequences. I won't go into any of this because tl;dr. My lack of desire for sex or a relationship started to make me feel ashamed and like there was something wrong with me. The people around me were doing these things and they had none of the issues that I had. I used to wish that I could get it over with. I even started to wonder if I was gay.

Now I'm still not sure how I feel about. I don't regret it and I'm glad that my first time was with someone that I trusted and had an emotional connection with. It's something special between us because he was my first and I was his second, but I'm not convinced that it's been of any real consequence either. It doesn't matter to me that he had a girlfriend before me and I doubt he would care if it was the same for me.

Not to piggyback, but my mom's a narc in very similar ways insofar as always wanting to have control about everything I wore, and made sure that it was unflattering trash that aged me. She always got particularly aghast if I wore anything with """""cleavage""""" and I can't help but grit my teeth typing that because I never wore anything that revealing to begin with.
Don't even get me started on cute guys, she'd sooner chase them away and assert I needed to ~learn to love~ gross old geezers with some money because that's what would really make me happy (projecting).

Your mom projects like mine does and has a competitive, childlike mentality. I've gotten better at tolerating her bullshit by slashing my emotional dependency on her and coping by reasoning that whatever shit she's been through has left her with an unstable teenage brain in a 63 year old body. Just because she has a matured body doesn't make her mature. And trust me, the sabotage is all a part of the narc's manipulative plan to keep you crawling back.

major vent~

found out i'm pregnant, boyfriend and i are on a break it's his no doubt and he has no doubt about this…we are living apart at the moment and we had gotten into a huge argument about this possibility before we found out I was FOR SURE pregnant.

He says we're both not ready and we shouldn't be going forward with this. This majorly hurts my feelings because I went through something similar with a previous boyfriend a few years ago. If we don't go forward with it I know he can't be here for the intense grieving process I'm going to have. I know it's early on…but it's still a loss and you really do feel empty inside physically and emotionally.

I just wish he would hear me out. But he won't…I guess you really have to pick and choose your battles.

I'm not the type of person who would make me him stop his career just to cater to my needs and wants, his career is very important and he's worked very hard to get where he's at. I just started school. I just wonder if it's bad timing but I'm not getting any younger (27) and previous serious health problems I have had made me think I couldn't even have kids, so I just feel like this is my last chance…which sounds silly because I know women well into their 30's can have children.

I'm having trouble sleeping and it's driving me insane.

You know when you're drifting off and it feels like you're falling suddenly so you jolt awake? I used to get that just occasionally, maybe once or twice every few months. But lately I get it multiple times every single night.

I'll be drifting off at least three or four times every night and get that falling sensation and jolt awake and then have to try and get back to falling asleep. And I don't fall asleep easily anyway, it takes me an hour or two normally. With this new development it's taking me five, six, sometimes seven hours. I'm exhausted every day.

I don't know what's causing this. I haven't changed my diet or anything like that, I have the same mattress and pillows as normal. I thought maybe I needed to adjust my pillows, so I tried having them higher and when that didn't work I tried having them lower, but it's no use. Every night, I feel like I'm falling 3 or 4 times. It's so fucking annoying. I'm probably going to go to my doctor but I've tried asking him before about things I can do to make it easier to sleep and he was pretty useless, just suggested cutting out coffee (which I don't even drink and never have).

I guess I'm just uncomfortable by people thinking girls are harmless because I went to school with a girl who killed her best friend and it stuck with me (not the same as parents I know).

Anxiety anon here to vent again, I've had deja vu basically all day because of how anxious I am. I honestly thought I'd be used to it by now, but every time it's just so unsettling. I honestly am trying my best not to see it as scary.

No. 379962

My estranged sister messaged me again after not talking to me for a few years and all the text contains is a list of items she left at home and wants me to give to her. Most of the items are things she didn't like any more and gave to me, presented as "gifts" and that she would invoke when she wanted me to do something for her.

This is the third time in the 6 years since she cut contact with our parents that she's contacted me, and all three times were only to ask me to give things to her (most of which are actually mine). Everytime I get so anxious and angry. It took me so long to realise she's a textbook narcissist ; she bullied my mother into attempting suicide, bullied me into bulimia, falsely accused my dad of molesting her so she could hurt my mom, reconciled with my mom's abusive dad who killed her mom so she could spite her, and that's only a fraction of what she's done. And she's never going to get punished for any of this. She got away with all of this and way more, and I know she's still abusing people and that they are completely fooled by her, like I was. When I think that one day she might have kids, maybe even a daughter that she might emotionally torture like she did to me, I want to throw up.

I can't believe that after 6 years she'd still fucking ask me for the Gameboy Colour she stopped playing almost 15 years ago and Linkin Park CDs, which she'd given to me years before she left. Why would she never apologise to me for all that she's done and only fucking contact me for Linkin Park CDs ?

I want female friends who have the same interests as me so badly, especially in their mid/late twenties who are into anime and true crime? or just memes? pop culture and internet culture?

recently, I’ve downloded dating apps looking for friends (really just bumble who has a friend section and senpaime) but as soon as I saw someone I actually knew…I closed my account. I have friends, friends in a discord server where I comfortably hang out, and a boyfriend who at least listens when I talk but I feel so lonely without people to show/share things with who actually get it.

I’m in a really bad and lonely position in life and I got really lonely so i decided to create a kik. ive never had a boyfriend or been in a relationship or even had sex but for some reason I sent a nude to some random guy and I’m starting to just regret it. under any circumstance i would have never done it so I don’t know why i did it.

I understand this feeling anon; it's okay. I sent nudes for the first time last year, and I don't see myself as the type to do it either. I was feeling lonely, and after the severalth guy asking for nudes, I finally caved in hopes the person would stick around longer and listen to me. We often try new things when something isn't working for us. There's no shame in that. You're an adult, no one is going to be disappointed in you for doing what you want with your own body, or who and what you communicate with, nor figuring out what you do and don't like. We learn and grow. If anyone makes you feel bad for that, they're likely abusive and you should out them out of your life.

I very much hate having curly hair. It looks like complete shit 24/7. I understand it doesn't have to be that way but all of the advice I've seen amounts to "spend an hour a day on your hair, buy several expensive products, and never enjoy a shower again". I wish I was born with straight hair, all my friends have to do is run a brush through it once or twice a day and it looks great for the entire day. This probably sounds petty and is a first-world problem but I just hate this part of my appearance.

I have thin, curly hair that's subject to split ends and frizz so I get where you're coming from.

My hair has grown out a bit so people comment how they allegedly like my curly hair, but clearly they think it more kempt and professional when I straighten it. Even when I want it curly I need to add a buttload of product, but not too much lest it becomes greasy, but even then it has a mind of its own most days.

i don't even think curly hair looks good, even when it's well cared for. it's too much maintenance for something i think is inferior to straight hair no matter what.

my family came from a foreign country while I was born in an English speaking country and every time I ask my mom about something I’m curious about with our culture, she gets so impatient and mad. I grew up learning English since it’s the dominant language here and have a hard time understanding all the nuances of my family’s culture and native language and I want to learn more but my mom’s reaction always makes me want to just give up on asking any of my family for help. it feels like she won’t even listen to me, she just jumps to the reaction that I’m stupid and that it’s not worth teaching me. at this point I’ll just learn on my own without her support. it just sucks that she’ll probably never understand or be proud of me for even trying to reconnect with our culture

Yeah I know. I think I just stopped paying attention to the amount I was eating due to me having been happy I'm good at something, plus I was feeling really safe in my relationship because my boyfriend is really lovely to me and I kinda just have been eating whenever I felt like it instead of barely eating due to anxiety unless I was talking to my guy.

I do need to do some exercise though and yoga can be pretty calming. And I'm eating less calorie-rich food and trying to drink more water. My boyfriend is really supportive and is positive I can lose it, and he's even taken to not snacking as much, in solidarity with me so it's really not too bad.

We are soulmates, but now she won't even say she loves me. I feel so needy and pathetic.
She was and will probably be the only person I loved in my entire life. I don't have a reason to live anymore, but she would still be upset if I kill myself.

Mostly binge-drinking myself into psychosis and psychosis in general.

After I tried to kill myself in a fit of psychosis she distanced herself. I can understand why, but without her I'm worse. Way worse. I depended on her too much.

She still sends me pictures of cute knives so maybe she's not lost, just really needs a breather. I feel like I've been smothering her all these years.

That's really not 'huge fuckups', it's just that you're mentally ill. I wouldn't blame yourself so harshly. Also, no offense, but she sounds seriously retarded if she's sending you 'pictures of cute knives' when you're severely mentally ill with a history of suicide attempts and are diagnosed as schizophrenic. Like, I don't even care how much you might like kawaii knives, as the less mentally afflicted party, you don't send things like that to someone who struggles with suicidal thoughts/actions, so I doubt the breakdown of your relationship was solely your fault when she's this retarded.

Nah, I like knives. They are aesthetic. She also is a knife enthusiast. We bonded over that too. Both a little bit edgy and into weapons.
They don't trigger me at all, they never triggered me even when I used to cut myself.
Knives are just… our thing, I guess?
I've never been violent and never tried to slit my wrists in earnest, so I don't mind knives sent to me at all.

Which reminded me of another story about me, knives and psychosis. One time my shithead ex made me do 2c-b and I got fixated on a particular knife. It was engraved and ornate and the very tip of it was broken off. So I couldn't take my eyes or hands off it. He got me sitting in a corner, obsessively stroking a knife. After that night he said to me that he was afraid I'd stab him or myself/someone and that's why he isolated me from everyone else. But it was just a very pretty fucking knife. I fixate on things a lot and he should have known. Just… Came here to cry about the love of my life mostly leaving me, ended up coming out as a knife fetishist. What am I doing with my life…

Not exactly the point, anon. I understand that you two are edgy, but the principle is that as the accountable, sane party, you don't send your loved ones that are severely mentally ill anything that can be remotely triggering because of the association with violence/self harm/suicidal thoughts. Whether or not you, personally, are literally triggered by it is irrelevant. When you're dealing with mentally ill and unstable people that you love, you err on the side of caution, you know, because they're unstable and unpredictable, and you care for their wellbeing? Anything that can remotely spur a potentially harmful train of thought shouldn't be sent to a mentally ill loved one, even if it's aesthetic and a bonding thing.

When you put it like that I can see how young you were at 13, and he being 20 - that's disgusting and good that it has ended. He sounds real shit (side note: that's weird that his ex is mid 30s considering).

The issue with your post was the bragging about how successful you are and how you're "-very- pretty" (that's just not relevant and subjective - makes you should insufferable).

Even worse was bringing down the other girl, unless she knew he was in a relationship?

Glad you're in a nice relationship now. There is more to you as a person than looks and money. I'm sure you are lovely in other ways though.

Think of the super complex password and write it down.

They better fucking price drop the switch for the new pokemon game. I've had every console since the n64 (god bless youth and gifts and santa claus) and only got the wii u for skyword sword and that it was able to play Wii games anyway, but I could never justify paying for the switch. Especially after the Wii and Wii U fiasco, and I had a ps2 then switch to the 360 and both those consoles completely lost value. I just fucking hate the gaming industry. I know these machines are not expensive. And idk Wtf Nintendo is at having such a ridiculous price when they're brand is touch n go at best. And the fucking price of games is ridiculous.

I have had every pokemon game except the switch titles and it kills me a little bit but I just can't justify a switch. I'm not as young anymore, I can't invest hours of gameplay at a time anymore, but I don't want a party game console. I wish they hadn't given up on the 3ds handheld gaming is just so zen.

Are there decent titles on the switch i gave up halfway through skyward sword I just couldn't be assed with the controllers anymore. That is one thing I like about the switch that there is a normal looking controller although does it come as standard? I honestly miss the days of the Gamecube controller.

My head/neck hurts all the time. It started 2-3 years ago and has only gotten worse in the past 6 months to the point where I can barely move without feeling sick to my stomach. It's not migraines, (I suffer from those too) it's the bones in my neck that are all out of alignment. Usually it's tolerable/not the worst, but today it's felt like someone drilling under the right back side of my skull, or hammering nails into my skull. No way to relieve the pain. I've been going to the chiropractor since November and it hasn't helped AT ALL, if anything it's made everything more unstable and I can feel the bones sliding/grinding around all the time whenever I tilt my head. I have an appointment with a physiatrist on April fifth, but today has been so awful. I just want to jam something into my neck to make the pain stop. I've slowly been learning how to tilt my head to pop the bones back into place (not the right place, but a less painful position to relieve some pressure.) Usually I can go to sleep and everything will straighten out a bit/self correct before I wake up. But I took a nap earlier and woke up in even more pain. It's so bad I want to cry, it's been so long since I've been pain-free, but at this point it would just make my head hurt even more so I have to stop myself from crying. I'm starting to feel so hopeless that I'll ever feel better.

I've been up all night tonight because my head hurts too much to fall asleep and when my mom came downstairs to get ready for bed, she handed me a letter. It was from my sister across the country (I'm on the east coast, she's on the west coast) and she mailed me the money I had lost plus 10 more dollars just to cheer me up and tell me I only deserve wonderful things to happen to me. I'm legit crying on the bathroom floor rn because I love her so much and this is exactly what I needed to hear right now, I've been contemplating ending it just to make the pain stop (and bc I'm generally fucked up) and I just ugh it's like idk she just made everything bearable again.

Fuck I hate my anxiety so fucking much.

Last year I (a Britbong) managed to get some NEETbucks coming in from the DWP. I had to go to the job center biweekly and they’re supposed to slowly push you into work. Everything I’ve heard about the way they do things has been negative and I’m totally unsurprised they have little time, knowledge or compassion to deal with people like me (I always get fucked over trying to seek help because I’m not diagnosed with everything and I pass for normal because 99% of my strength goes into holding in meltdowns until I get home). By some luck, they forgot to book my appointments after a few months in and I’ve been avoiding them since July last year.

I fucking hate being NEET and have been trying to help myself despite bouts of depression by seeking charity services so I don’t think I’m one of the people who are proud of sitting at home being a leech to their parents.

But today I checked my email and found they’ve messaged me with an appointment date. That was 10 minutes ago and I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the stomach. Fuck me in the ass, this feels just like my school phobia when I was really, really little - my mum let me skip school when I was 5 or 6 and the phone calls from school were what gave me the fear of phone calls until my late teens (and I still had a problem answering them at work). It was always fucking horrible like awaiting an execution by the time they started sending people to our home to ask her questions (I don’t remember it well anymore).

Fuck me. I have to see them next month, WTF am I going to say? I feel like I’ve been caught doing something bad, I’m 21 and such a loser that I’m still afraid to be ‘told off’. Fuck’s sake, this month I’ve been trying to muster the courage to apply to this transcript job but my shitty emotional state makes focusing on things like sailing a canoe in an ocean storm and now I’ve got the job centre looming over my head again. They’re not compassionate about shit, they have quotas to meet. They’re going to make me do things like look up an arbitrary amount of jobs each time and tell me how to write a CV and cover letters when I’m not … I’m just not like -that-, my problems are all fucking mental behaviour personality BULLSHIT. I’ve been coasting by on free counselling from those charities I mentioned but I’m begging for some god damn therapy I can’t afford. The pressure from the job centre isn’t going to do anything except make me feel sad.

Job centres are hit and miss, OP, you're certainly not alone in hating them. It's been a while since I've had to go to one luckily but the one where I live is generally OK, the people are relatively easygoing and understanding. My friend got a bad one though, full of overworked, rushed pen-pushers who didn't listen to a word she said. It's luck of the draw, unfortunately.

A word of advice though: Consider asking them if there are any volunteer positions. They will eventually try to push you into one of these anyway, but if you ask early you'll get more opportunity to pick and choose one that's not totally shit. If you wait then they'll just force you into one, and you won't have any choice unless you want them to suspend your benefits. I chose to ask for one and got a pretty good gig doing social media for a local dentist. Didn't pay shit so it was annoying to do it, but at least it was something relevant to my field I could put down on my CV. My brother waited and ended up having to do retail in the grimiest shop in the city, because it was the bottom of the barrel and nobody had picked it.

Trying to find roommates in a new city fucking sucks so much.

The last one I went to was a fucking surprise "group viewing" of their tiny ass house, and I had to view the room with SIX other people (because of course the other retards brought their fucking friends along? Why the fuck do you need your friend to come if they're not renting the room?).
I could barely talk to the actual people that lived there because there was so many people and awkwardness happening at the same time.
I said two fucking times I want to move in for March 1st (like they said was possible) but surprise, they still haven't gotten back to me, so I'll have to rent ANOTHER month at this airbnb (which is over an hour away from these places) sucking away even more of my savings (because I can't get a job yet until I know what area I'm kind of living in).
Fuck I just feel like I'm going crazy. It's awkward as fuck staying in this airbnb and it's so far out that without a car, I just end up staying inside all day because I'm afraid to tap into my savings.
I'm so tired of just endlessly consuming media and staying in my bed, but I'm so dependent on waiting for these people to fucking respond to me, so I can actually go outside and start planning.

Go and tell your doctor that you're having suicidal thoughts even if you aren't and then use that as medical evidence against the DWP. I'm guessing that you're getting ESA. There are two types of ESA. Work group ESA, which sounds like what you're getting now, and there's support group ESA. If you get into the support group you won't me made to attend JC appointments and you get more money, about £130 a week. You can then also apply for PIP, which is another £250 a month for the standard living component (A bonus of this is that once you get both ESA and PIP you get classed as disabled and you will find it easier to get a job when your ready to return to work because companies get paid to take on disbled workers and you will still get some support from the DWP). I don't usually condone cheating the DWP but so many people do it and the system is so fucked anyway, it's not like it matters. It also sounds like you need a break. I'd use the opportunity to try some talking therapy like CBT and get better at your own pace.

I agree with this anon's advice.

Also go to the Citizen's Advice Bureau if you can, and ask them to help you with your applications. PIP in particular often rejects people at first, and you end up needing to appeal. My uncle got rejected for PIP because they said there was nothing stopping him working a normal job. My uncle has had both arms amputated at the elbow.

So you might need to appeal, and CAB can help with that.

I’m getting Universal Credit, I know there are some differences (especially in qualifying, which fucked me over when I tried to claim while still employed). I hope that doesn’t make me even more screwed because people have nothing but bad things to say about UC. This advice is sound but I’ll need to check if UC lets me claim anything from those other two things but I suspect they’re mutually exclusive. They actually sent me a letter about being randomly chosen for an interview on how the service has helped me to see how they could improve the department (fucking lol) and I wonder if that had anything to do with remembering to give me an appointment.

The thing about CBT is that I’ve gone through two batches of it in different places and whenever I leave, I just fuck up and go back to the way I was before learning the things to manage my depression+anxiety symptoms. Maybe it’s my own damn fault for only asking that specifically because I always think there’s not enough time to cover the deeper shit I never got to talk about to anyone. Without sounding like I’m doctor shopping I want to push for some kind of diagnosis to reaffirm and help me target this BS because, even now, I’ve never gotten anything on paper. I don’t know how to ask for an assessment (and from who?), it’s fucking confusing when my GP will write me prescriptions and refer me for CBT but at some point I remember being declined to be referred to a specialist and I don’t know why.

PIP is independent of UC. It isn't even means tested and you can get it even if you work. You will probably need to appeal because the DWP does this to everyone, even people that are dying of cancer or are severely disabled. Don't give up because the appeal tribunal will probably find in your favour. This does take a year but you get back paid from the original claim date.

The difference in the assessment between UC and ESA is minimal, it's still the work capability assessment. The thing to remember with this is that the assessors are grossly incompetent (look into atos and unum healthcare if you want more on this). The DWP uses the opinion of the assessor to build a case as to why you aren't accepted for benefit. Never accept the first decision of the DWP unless it's in your favour. What you need to do is build your own case as to why you deserve the benefit by using your own medical records as evidence. You can request these from your GPs surgery usually for free.

There is a list of descriptors for the work capability assessment, each of these descriptors has a certain number of points associated with it. To get the benefit you need enough points.
An example
>Activity 16 - Coping with social engagement due to cognitive impairment or mental disorder.
>Part 16(b)
>Engagement in social contact with someone unfamiliar to the claimant is always precluded due to difficulty relating to others or significant distress experienced by the claimant
If this does apply to you, the assessor is likely to deny it for some bullshit reasons like you made eye contact during the assessment and were dressed normally. The DWP will side with the assessor, so what you need to do is prove that this does apply to you by using medical evidence from your medical records and present this to the DWP. Do this for all the descriptors that apply to you. Even if the DWP still refuses, you can take this evidence to the appeals tribunal.

>Without sounding like I’m doctor shopping I want to push for some kind of diagnosis to reaffirm and help me target this BS because, even now, I’ve never gotten anything on paper

If I were you I'd ask to see a psychiatrist. Also don't worry about the paper work, all the correspondence between your GP and the people they've referred you to will be in your medical records. Check what the procedure is in your area because some health authorities allow you to self refer for mental health services.

Today we've got new neighbours: She's only 24, but already has two children, 1 and 5 years old.
After seeing her, the first thing my mother said to me was "Omg, she's so skinny and young-looking, you look sooo old next to her! haha".
Why does she do that? It's not the first time, she also said I look just as old as her cousin, who's also a mother and already over 30. Does she not get that this hurts me? Or is it even on purpose?
Meanwhile she herself always cries on her birthdays and is very sensitive to comments about her age.

The worst thing is, I also saw her and she's probably lolcows dream, lookwise: 5ft, 90lbs, dollface, looks 14.

But lots of men also talk about liking tall girls and how they are better to have kids with. I will never understand the victim complex either short or tall women have, and I see that complex for both reasons - not wanting to be fetishized or not feeling fetishized enough. Men are shallow assholes but you will never run out of guys who specifically prefer your height or lack thereof. Maybe absolute midgets or amazons will have more trouble but being above or below average is not a big deal.

I was thinking more along the lines of men almost always preferring to date women shorter than they are, moreso than very short women in general being preferred.
Perhaps the issue is also that I love turbomanlets (aforementioned man is 5'2") and they can be even weirder about such things. I recall on our date he seemed upset when I kept walking faster than him because my legs are longer lol.

Also in the end I know I shouldn't be upset that people have preferences, since I have my own and maybe I'm being hypocritical here (which makes me feel worse). Like the reasons >>381573 stated are similar to why I like short men, so what gives me permission to be bitter about men preferring short(er than them) women? Right?
It just seemed that most men are in that boat, but perhaps that's not actually true. I'll keep going and hope to find another weird reverse-height-difference fetishist lol.

The last time i cooked was around 5 days ago. I wouldn't say i was a good chef, but i always try to keep things simple as possible. I always cook at around 7-8pm because I have to wait for my family to be done in the kitchen before i can do anything. I have tried doing meal prep in the past, but there isn't enough fridge space for me to do this. I go to uni every day usually between 9-3pm (not including 1 hour travel time it takes for me to get there) and on the weekend i work full time.

I know you think she looks ideal for a mom anon, but I promise you that the looks do nothing for the ugly insecurities she has about aging.
She's likely saying these things without consciously hearing how they sound, because in her mind she's relentlessly reeling over age. She thinks about it all the time so it slips out in her dialogue.
Is she actually comparing you to others? Yes. And that's not okay. Tell her how awful that makes you feel and that you'd prefer to not hear such things.

Don’t worry, those guys will never have a fullfiling relationships, if they had a relationship at all. Imagine dating some creep who drops comments about your height and genes - and trust me, just like foot fetishists, they won’t be able to hide it for long.

As for me, I had pretty nightmare work experience.
Cousin recommended me, the people there kept promising me contract but there wasn’t one in sight, then when I saw the template of it, it was made so it would use me max, some laws that weren’t to be applied for my position were added in, the paid vacation time was less than one fucking euro, the minimum wage was that of an old law, the lady wanted to put down that I’m working 3rd of my work time to avoid taxes, she demanded I work overtime for less than minimum wage + promised bonus if she sees “im putting in effort”, the old lady from her in-laws working/helping there was terrorizing me, saying she raises her voice at me because that’s how humans react the best, like a child or a dog when you yell at them, she was judging my dress choices, thinking my layers of clothes in the middle of winter make me look fat, asking if my parents taught me anything….
The employer lady ran to the store when I sent her message in which I stated the minimum wage has changed and asked her where in the contract it was written about my rights and duties - and she started hurling at me, asking who do I think I am, demanding so much as a beginner, how she doesn’t have the money, etc.
I was their seller, floor mopper, toilet cleaner, coffee maker, errand girl and courier.
I started snapping when granny was forcing me to clean cable powerbox with wet rag, and finally snapped when she the next day accused me of being a liar for saying I cleaned the rag I was using (she didn’t find it clean enough) and being a liar is worst I can do. I had nervous breakdown, told her they have inhumane circumstances, I don’t want to work somewhere when they don’t allow me to go out for break during 9 hours of work, how they need inspection called on them etc and I stormed out.
I call today during work time - no answer. I call after work time to ask to be paid and the lady’s husband answers saying how she’s sick and to deal with him. I state why I’m calling and he say he doesn’t think I deserve to be paid. I say ok bye.

I hate how people feel entitled to animals. I think that honestly only dogs that are ethically bred for companionship and 30lbs or less on average should be kept by regular people. I also believe obedience classes should be mandatory. My mom has a giant Pyrenees in her New Mexico back yard that they never walk and hardly even interact with except to feed. It's makes me so mad that they would get an animal like that on whim, despite not being able to give it a good life. She also has a cat that her husband impulsively got with my kid siblings, that she keeps in a small laundry closet all day with the washer and dryer. She barely gives it any water because the cat "spills it too much" and even took away it's scratching post for no reason.

Can’t you talk to your mom about it? Try to explain to her that this is basically animal abuse. You can also tell her that the cat will display behavioural problems sooner or later because she has no-one to interact with. If "spilling water" (wtf) is problematic for her already, wait until the cat starts scratching the walls, meowing all the time, perhaps even hurting herself (e.g., cats with hospitalism often lick their fur so much that they don’t have any fur left at some point). If nothing works, try kidnapping the poor cat. My parents used to have turtles and their home was a bit too small. I carefully explained it to them and showed them how the turtles would suffer in the long run. They eventually gave them to someone with a huge garden and they are way better now. Please do something about it, anon!

There seems to be only one service in my area that’s under psychiatric therapy when I looked it up in an NHS directory, I’ve already been there, maybe I’m mistaken but they only really offered mainly group therapy and individual CBT. It’s been a while but what was explained to me came across like a small warning that ‘yeah we’re not qualified in the way you’re thinking but rest assured we take uni courses so we don’t fuck you up’.

I’m honesty this close to packing everything up, throwing it away or selling it and then killing myself out of tactical decision because this is a slow-ass death as it is. This isn’t the confession thread but in times like this I wish someone else could ‘save’ me without enabling me.

My brother is a rampant sexist and I can't take it anymore.

My little sister wanted to participate in Girls Day - a career information day created to encourage girls to pursue jobs in e.g. science.
Cue my brother: "But what about the boys?!" Boys Day exists as well and you know that. Then I said that even nowadays the wealthiest, most influential people are all men and that only recently young women have also started pursuing these careers, meanwhile nothing would have stopped men from pursuing traditionally female jobs, they just didn't want to, because they're considered low class and ar badly paid. "So, you're saying that these women have it worse than all the men who are construction workers?!" …?
My brother wants to be a priest and whenever I point out that this is a job that I as a woman wouldn't even be allowed to do simply because of my gender and that there's no job a man isn't allowed to do, he just yells that I wouldn't even want to be a priest anyways, completely dismissing that even if i wanted, I wouldn't have the chance to.

For the first time ever my mother also defended my sister and I, but accidentally said he's much more " racist" than we are, instead of saying he's "sexist". Then he immediately starts again, saying so many priests were killed by the nazis, because they shielded normal people during the holocaust blah, blah.

And whenever we watch the news and there are reports about priests abusing children him (and my mother) are making excuses, that people are using it to hate on the church, that teachers and people with other jobs are also pedophiles and so on.
There's nothing I could ever say to win any argument with him. He's extremely tall, has a very loud and deep voice and loves to use that to his advantage.
Maybe I'd be willing to say that in my country women are no longer oppressed in 2019 - but not until you quit insisting that somehow men have it sooo much worse.

Soon it will be a year since I've talked with my formerly close friend. They always kinda come and go into my life/out of my life. I know it's like, I can talk to them too, I don't have to wait to be contacted. But I think that if someone can go this long without me, then they don't want nor need me as a friend. And same goes for me.
You could say it's a dying friendship, a sad thing to happen but nothing shocking. People grow up and change.
What pisses me off is - we have a common friend, I'll call him Max. And the ghost-friend, they wouldn't contact Max either and Max claimed that he doesn't care, he had enough of Ghost's bullshit. And now I learnt that Ghost contacted Max and they're talking, and Max just randomly inserts Ghost into out own conversations… like to flex on me that he talks with them? I don't know, it's weird.
I'm, uh, jealous. Surprisingly, not for Ghost, but for Max. For years I'm here for his ass, good or bad, but Ghost reemerges out of nowhere and Max is already under their spell.
It pisses me off. Sometimes I feel like no one appreciates me so I guess that's why it bothers me this much. Like, if you're a good person, a caring friends that can be counted on, it's nice but you're boring. If you're unstable, treat others bad, humiliate them to seem funny and quirky, you're a shit person but you're interesting. And people will always choose you over the boring goodie-goodie.

have you told max that you feel like your friendship is failing? or that you wish you spent more time with them like they do ghost? this communication needs to go both ways. maybe max doesnt know how the space between you two is really getting to you.

but imo youre reading way too much into it. i talk to literally no one from highschool even though a few of us had spent the last 10 years together and even through my 20s some people that i had gotten close went off and did their own things. we are lucky if we can speak a few times a year because of being busy with work and family. social dynamics definitely change when people get older and have more going on.

i have found the best connections i have with people are when we both mutually understand that we are all busy and will get together when we can. it makes it easier to appreciate and enjoy the time together since we arent being bitter about things that cant be helped.

I don't feel like this. It's just… I'm a bit angry he let Ghost back into his life. Ghost wasn't a good friend to him and he said he's done with them, and yet here we are. He kind of shoves it in my face also, I think because he used to be jealous about me and Ghost being closer. It's all childish, I know.

I'm the same with my old high school friends. Same goes for uni and work friends. But those two are a different group, we go waaay back. Like, there are friends and Friends. If, for example, Max (or any other of my Friends) would not talk to me for two days, I would be scared something happened to them. You get it? Those kind of people that are the closest to you, know stuff others don't, those that you uptade about your daily life etc. So Ghost was like this, but they drifted apart and it was probably for the best. I just hate how they feel they can show up whenever and expect everyone to welcome them with open arms. And that Max always does exactly this.

I know it sounds like I am reading too much into it, but I'm just venting and it sounds like a big deal. It's not. Ghost will be probably gone in like a week anyway

I didn’t realize how much I still miss my grandmother until today. I bought a sample of one of her favorite perfumes, Fracas, and I can’t believe how much it smells like her…it’s like she’s right here in the room with me now. I thought I had forgotten how it smelled, but all the memories just came flooding back to me.

She was my best friend in a way I’ve never had. Her birthday is December 5th, and she died in late spring, around my birthday. May/June are difficult months for me, because I think about the last moments I spent with her up until she died. I’ve never been able to love anyone as much as I loved her. I’ve never had a friend the way she was my friend. We were very alike in many ways, even though she was so much older than me. She was one of the few people who never judged me, and who listened to me, and I did the same for her.

It hasn’t been that long since she passed either. It feels like it was 10 years ago, when it was actually more around 4 1/2, going on 5 this June. I never really let myself grieve over her death. I never talked about her dying, I avoided any memory of her up until recently. But I started having dreams about her at the end of 2018. Then for some reason, when Lagerfeld died it was like I lost something of her again. She loved fashion, and I remember her telling me about designers like Dior, Saint Laurent, Lagerfeld, Lacroix, Miyake. We did so much together, and now she’s gone.

I realize that maybe I made a mistake not grieving for her. I wonder if I had admitted how much she meant to me, would I have struggled so much in college? Is that why I was so angry with god (I was raised Christian), why I’ve had so many failed friendships, so many nights where I just lay in bed wondering what my life means? I realize there’s this huge gaping whole of emptiness that my friendship with my grandmother left in me. I want to love someone the way I loved her. I miss her so much. I’m probably going to buy a bigger bottle of Fracas since it makes me feel like she’s right there beside me.

I have a huge crush on a guy who was my professor last semester. He's a PhD student in his late 20s and I'm 25, so there isn't a significant age gap. I won't go into too much detail but he did me a huge favour and broke some rules for me that could've gotten him in serious trouble if anyone found out. Also we've hung out socially, confided in each other about personal stuff, and there has been some mutual flirtation between us. A friend of mine had him as a TA several years ago and told me that he casually dated a girl who was a student of his (once the class had ended). All of these things give me some hope that our friendship could possibly develop into something more, but there are still obstacles that make me think twice.

He lives a few hours away and has no reason to come back to my city anytime soon. He's incredibly smart and articulate and knowledgeable and I feel like a bit of a simpleton in comparison, even though I've excelled academically and achieved a lot. We're both struggling with our mental health, having experienced great loss recently (the death of a friend for me and the end of a relationship for him), and I know from experience that two very depressed people in a relationship tend to bring each other down rather than lift each other up.

I kind of want to make a move and ask him out for drinks or something but I've never asked a guy out before. Usually I assume that if a guy is interested in me, he'll do something about it. Maybe I'm a bit traditional in that sense. But it's been years since I've felt such a strong attraction to someone and I think about him all the time. I guess the problem is that I'm scared to let someone in and get hurt again. All relationships end in sorrow, either with death or rejection or cheating or whatever. Part of me wonders if it's even worth it. Part of me wants to see if it is. Mostly I'm unsure of how to proceed.

Don't worry about it. I went through a lot of what you're going through when I first had to claim benefit. I was depressed from being in constant pain for years and I couldn't take being at college any more. Being young I had this dumb idea that if I asked nicely and followed the rules my own government would help me get better. They of course didn't. Atos and the DWP put me through a year of hell. I did honestly feel like killing myself during this time, I was in severe pain, I lost any chance of doing what I wanted as a career, I had no way to support myself and I was totally dependent on my grandmother who took me in. I did eventually win the case at the appeals tribunal and was given incapacity benefit. When I was reassessed a few years later for ESA and the DWP did exactly the same as before, rather than getting depressed about it, I got really angry. This is when I learnt how it all worked and how to build a case against the assessors to present to the DWP. The DWP has given me ESA without question ever since. DLA and PIP have unfortunately been another matter.

>what was explained to me came across like a small warning that ‘yeah we’re not qualified in the way you’re thinking but rest assured we take uni courses so we don’t fuck you up’

I remember these types of people. They're not medically trained and read off of a script. I wasted two months of my life trying to explain to one of them that I'm not depressed for the reason she thinks I am, I'm depressed because five days a week I spend six hours laying in a pool of my own vomit because I'm in too much pain to do anything else. I wanted to scream when my GP said that she'd suggested that I had anger management issues. This is the reason I recommended seeing a psychiatrist. They're not counsellors, they're doctors who treat both the neurological and emotional problems behind mental illness.

>I’m honesty this close to packing everything up, throwing it away or selling it and then killing myself out of tactical decision because this is a slow-ass death as it is

If you are feeling like this and your GP still won't listen to you, go to A&E. They will have a mental health team on site that includes a psychiatrist. I discovered just how seriously A&E take any potential mention of suicide when I used the expression "I'm in so much pain I want to kill myself" to describe why I was there. Within an hour I was being given a full mental health assessment.

Sorry for the long post but knowing what ill people have to go through in this country to get help just pisses me of.

my mom wanted me to go to the hospital for my neck. she's about to be flying to Hawaii for a week with her boyfriend and I'll be watching her dog for her. If something happened and my neck got worse when she's gone it would suck bc no one will be around to cover dog duty for me. They told me my chiropractor was basically scamming me (he's a great guy but like yeah he hasn't fixed shit in six ⁦
months/only made it worse yet continued to see me once a week with a $40 copay.) I got prescribed steroids and muscle relaxers. Basically your neck vertebrae are supposed to curve one way kinda towards your chin, but my muscles have spasmed and tightened so badly that my vertebrae curve in the other direction toward my back at this point. So it'll be lots of stretching and physical therapy for me (I hate physical therapy lol) but I'm happy to have an answer to why everything has stayed the same despite adjustments, and some pain relief, and a new treatment that will hopefully fix the issue eventually.

I need to go see a psychiatrist if I want to try and apply for disability because I have such bad anxiety, and also if I want to regain my status as medically frail with my health insurance so they will cover certain things and I'm literally terrified of going to see a medical professional due to previous experiences with my doctor and with a psychologist I was seeing (who did diagnose me with GAD) but they weren't really helpful with my anxiety (I was job searching at the time and they kept telling me whenever I was anxious I should just think of being somewhere that made me happy. Oh also to just not think the way I was, even after I explained I knew it was just my anxiety but I couldn't stop it.) I stopped seeing them after they said I was at fault fault for not trying hard enough and how I just wanted to be coddled. Which was dumb because I seeked them out for help in the first place and was trying their techniques with no success.

So I'm scared it'll be another shitshow like that even though I do need to get on disability because I have panic attacks daily and it's so damn draining and I can't even go shopping without having an anxiety attack. Just ugh

Yes, I did write about him before.
After that fight yesterday at lunch he went to his room and hasn't left it, doesn't even come down to eat or drink.
My mother went to him and explained that there's that day for boys as well, that there's nothing to be angry about and that we should just avoid that topic from now on. Then he cried and said that I'm always saying things agaisnt men. She said that he also does the same against women and that this hurts her too.
But then she said to me that it's true, that I'm really too hateful against men. I'm not a lesbian, not in any feminist organisations, I dont frequent the radfem thread here, I even vote conservative, I'm just a normal young woman who sometimes points out unfair or sexist things.

NTA, but it's very helpful for me to try to replace my uncertain thoughts with positive ones that mirror the negative ones I already have.
Like for instance, you possibly think something must be wrong with you because you've been having a good time for a while, so instead of saying "What if I get a panic attack soon?" I would repeat to myself "What if everything's gonna be okay?" Or "What if nothing is wrong and I'm fine?" Or "So what, if I have a panic attack?"
If you demand your panic to get stronger, it usually doesn't because it wants to get you when you least expect it. Welcome your anxiety to hang out with you. It'll most likely do the opposite.

Guy wants to fuck me. Tells me that given any chance to fuck me, he will fuck me. I want to fuck him. We have a chance to fuck. All of a sudden, he doesn't want to fuck me. Is it because of feelings? Is it fear of rejection? I don't know because he keeps being all evasive and not as clear on things as he swears he is. Will give me bullshit idioms all day long, but when I say, "Here is the deal, also here is my vagina - now fuck me until neither of us can feel anything any more" he's all like 'noooo I can't do that and you should know why'

I think spending so much time on imageboards and focusing on incel-tier shit and man-hate has given me a warped view on other people.
We were discussing gender and inequality and shit in an anthropology elective class I'm taking and most people were just…very lefty. Most males agreed that women face danger and an extra challenge in the workplace and other things. Yet I find myself always subconsciously expecting everyone to be racist and pro-rape and subjugation of women due to surrounding myself with people spouting that belief.

Maybe this is because I live in a very liberal country (Canada) and I'm sure other places are still awful in this regard, but it made me realize that most people around me at least aren't fucking incels or /pol/tards. Which I believed somehow lmao.

No. 382756

>>382750
Yeah, if you start believing everyone you meet is going to be an incel you might have to accept that you're a little bit impressionable and need to take a break from lolcow. Incels are special basketcases, the majority of people are socially adjusted enough to at least have sex or get into a relationship. I'm fortunate enough to never have come across an obvious incel in the wild, but a lot of the normie men I know tend to be faintly (if not overtly) sexist and douchebaggy in their own right. They don't actively plot the downfall of women on a manic incel-tier level, they're subconsciously biased because that's what they learned from society.
Besides it's college, of course people are going to skew lefty or not speak up if they have any controversial opinions. /pol/tards think liberal colleges are all communist re-education camps and stay away from them or whatever the fuck.

Long story short I had a fling with a coworker of mine last summer then I started seeing someone else seriously. Moved states with new partner around the new year and coworker and I still stayed 'friends' once I started seeing my current boyfriend. Everything was normal up until a month ago and hes been really choosy in when he wants to talk to me. I dont go out of my way to message him anymore but I'd like for him to not be weird about it. But I guess its understandable in this circumstance. I don't think I have any interest in him anymore but I would also like my old bad habits to not come back where I go into something unhealthy just because "its fun". I feel like he might have some feelings for me still since he can't go about a week without saying something to me and my old coworkers mention to me he talks about me.

My brother though… he's autistic and I don't want to be mean, but at what point does his inability count as male entitlement?

There's this guy that I talked with more than 5 years ago. We went out once (as friends, just for a walk) but he must have thought it was some magical date because he completely changed his tune, started to be cringily romantic for no reason etc. So even though we were okay friends and I liked him, I was weirded out and distanced myself. Everything kind of died.
BUT he still reemerges from time to time to send me some autistic uwu message or wish me happy birthday and lately he started to tell me about his dreams (he would do that from time to time but it intensified now). They are all very retarded about us hugging, kissing.
I'm on the fence if I should keep on ignoring him - I feel like I shouldn't feed him any attention, even negative. On the other hand I'm starting to get fed up and I'm thinking about telling him off, because still "crushing" on someone you have last seen when they were, idk, 17? is fucking weird, and why on Earth does he think I want to hear about his wet dreams?

telling him off -> he gets encouraged by attention
ignoring him -> he keeps doing that forever
blocking him etc -> he goes full stalker mode.

I missed a day taking my pill this month because its been a horrible stressful depressing month, but took 2 the next day. My bf came in me on the day I forgot the pill and I've had my 7 day break and never got my period. I have had pains in my chest all week and thought I was bloated as normal and got pms etc but just never bled. I've missed periods before cuz if stress but I'm terrified what if I got pregnant? I've been taking the pill for years so I know chances are low. I really have let stress get the better of me this month and I lost some weight for irregular eating. I'm hoping that's why it never came. I'm scared though what if. I told my bf it never came and he didn't seem worried and rather blamed my chest pains on smoking 2 joints a day. But I'm pissed at him cause he hasn't been there for me during any of this stress (not relating to my period, I've had some shit family stuff happen), I live alone currentky finishing up my last 2 terms of graduate school, I've been feeling burnt out for months prior but was supporting my bf thru some stuff he was going to (which he's acting completely ungrateful about and has been taking frustrations out on which I've been letting slide because I feel like I'm taking on too much and-) honestly I just feel like screaming at my vagina to fucking bleed. I do not want to even fathom I could be pregnant with my bf rn, I've been working towards getting into a new industry, my bf is an emotional vaccum and I'm already not coping with some family stuff imagine if I had a fucking baby.

I got into online relationship that lasted few years because no boys were interested in me/I had a low self-esteem. He was in his 30 (which he disclosed when I turned 18), threatened suicide everyday, wanted to control me, doxxed me, just destroyed me emotionally.
Even though I broke up with him, I still can't get over that. Now that boys actually invite me on dates I just can't bring myself to say "yes".

You should definitely take a test, but you are probably okay. The pill stops you from ovulating, in addition to just making your uterus an unfriendly place for semen (when you’re fertile your cervical mucus is runny and clear, this doesn’t happen on the pill). Missing one pill usually isn’t enough to cause you to ovulate, but it depends on what kind of pill you’re on and what pill you missed.

He’d also deny being an alcoholic, and I didn’t tell my parents about him because I knew they wouldn’t like him….
3 months later he broke up with me and started crying and saying he needed a break. He told me he’d always love me and that he needed time for himself. Less than a week later he started dating chick from his work and now they get drunk and high together. I gave all his shit back but he kept everything of mine.

When you start dating again you will realize that the neglect you went through isn't the norm and isn't something to feel like you had missed out on. Stick up for yourself a bit and push out people from your mind who take advantage of you and disregard your needs for their own selfish desires.
I'm sorry your first didn't work out, but statistically speaking, it doesn't for many. I know mine didn't. Don't worry, there's others out there. You'll scoff over how you ever tolerated the first one's shit, and now you'll have some experience for who to avoid in the future. Time heals wounds.

My ex did the same shit to me. After I completely gave up my life in another country and sold all of my shit for him, it turns out, people just say things to say things and their natures never change. Cried, told me how much he loved me, that he would never forget me, I was his best friend, needed to know how I was doing once I got back to my home country etc.
Then when I told him I've been royaly fucked over here and am probably looking at homelessness soon, he got mad at me for upsetting him lol

You need to realize that the man that you have in your thoughts and head isn't real and that's not who he was in reality. Who he was in reality was how he acted in reality . The same man that cried and said he loved you was also the same man that got together with someone a week later. It's a painful truth to fully comprehend and understand, but it's still the truth.
If he wanted to be with you, he would still be with you.
If he wanted to love you and try, he would love you and try.
Don't let your mind run wild with replays of the greatest hits™ from your relationship, because those are unreliable and distorted. You feel for the man in your head, not for the man who he really is. Once you can consolidate that who he is is how he's acting, the feelings will become less intense and more manageable.

I've driven out twice, two hours one way, to see a guy I met online through an ideal partner chat. I'm not complaining; he has a very nice house and he's made it good for me by cooking dinner together and allowing me to sleep over. He's not an asshole or anything, and he seems compassionate whenever we have sex. And I have no bedroom complaints.
Last time I was over he played a Beatles song for me on his acoustic.

Guess I'm just wondering what I am, but it feels too soon to ask. It would be so embarrassing to admit I'm catching feels only for it to turn out that I'm just a high effort booty call. Or worse, "It's not you, it's me, and I'm not ready for a relationship right now." The latter could be an actual thing due to the fact that he divorced several months ago. He texts, but it's rather infrequent. He's a little nerdy quirk and seems quiet so I chalk it up to that.

Another part of me feels majorly inadequate next to him. Truth be told, I haven't been with anyone decent who had their shit together….never ever. This guy has an expensive house, a tech job, comes from a decent-sounding family, top university, etc.
I'm insecure about being mediocre, but apparently he sees something in me. Enough to fuck me I guess, but unless he has a thing for flabsters who are good at makeup it's not like I rock the physique department either.

I'm hoping if maybe things progress I can invite him to drive out here to meet my parents, since I'm living with them as I haven't worked up to living on my own since my last long term relationship ended.
Maybe he's just desperate, idk. I have zero confidence deep down, and since nobody nice has ever taken interest in me my mind is screaming about how it must be too good to be true. I'm bracing for the betrayal to happen any day now.

So, Friend A became friends with benefits with Friend B's ex a while after they broke up. Friend B has been extremely volatile towards her and it's caused some pretty unnecessary drama. It's also a point of contention for Friend B that I'm still friends with her and I'm sensing a big blow up coming over it. Possibly even her dropping me as a friend.

I just think it's so fucking ridiculous that a grown ass woman is acting this way. I get you're upset your ex moved on, but you two were broken up for a chunk of time and she's not friends with you. Acting like I'm breaking some kind of made up girl code for being friends with her is so goddamn stupid.

She isn't posting anything that judges women for not being feminine or for not being feminist, though she follows a lot of accounts that do. She's nice and a very positive person, I think I'm just worried for her. The tradlife isn't good for women and I don't want to see her hurt when it inevitably backfries.

I felt a little bad for this one dude at my school that I thought was getting unreasonably picked on for being socially awkward… I was polite to him and would have the occasional conversation and now he thinks we're bff's and won't stop messaging me. I've stopped responding but still get weird messages from him every once in a while… I think he has undiagnosed asd but now I understand people's irritation with him. I'm contemplating whether I should just block him or continue to ignore him.

I'm such a fucking idiot. I work at a company that dispatches me to locations where the boss of a certain location lets me leave early if there's nothing to do. Today, all work was cancelled and the other official workers were busy doing something else so I left really early. (Basically, I only have one specific job that I do and cannot do anything else per contract.) I just now got a call from my supervisor at the dispatch company but I was opening an app at the time so the call just kind of disappeared. It showed him calling for a brief second then disappeared. Checked my call logs and nothing but I know it's probably a glitch.
Now I want to vomit thinking the boss at the place called my company or my supervisor called that boss and realized I wasn't there.
Either way, I'm already preparing to get fired and am looking for places to apply. I'm so fucking stupid I should've never left early. I just want to disappear and don't even want to try to explain why I left.

Started a new job with a manager from previous hostess job and he loves me and we had a good laugh bc I was traumatized…it was a gross table from some gross ass people who left food all over their chair and table top (fuck you if you do that btw!!) and he said I am the Kardashian of the workplace and I'm half amused half pissed lmao

i'm in the same boat with women or just people in general, whenever i start a conversation i just feel like i am forcing myself upon people and that i am bothering them. It is a very bad mindset to be in and it is prehaps because i'm afraid of rejection or that i'm too self-conscious. Even though i don't think this way 24/7 it is still sometimes in the back of my head. maybe you just need more time for yourself and not spend any time on men but find a friend?

I hate admitting it to myself but I cant stop thinking about my ex and still miss him even though he was a piece of shit deadbeat dad who was emotionally and sexually abusive. He forced me to get an abortion and its something I've never gotten over. Most of the time I feel like I'm lucky that I have no ties to him anymore because of that but then sometimes I think what if ? He was terrible for me and almost destroyed my life but deep down I feel like I still love him and maybe if I had kept the child things would have worked out different, it makes me so depressed and angry.We broke up two years ago aswell which makes it even more pathetic. I dated a guy for about a year who I met a few months after the break up who turned out to be a controlling borderline psycho who threatened suicide and accused me of cheating on him constantly. Every relationship I've been in has been a disaster so sometimes I think there must be something wrong with me or I don't dereve anybody nice and I can't get the one from two years ago out of my head, it might be because it was a very intense relationship and we took drugs and drank together constantly, wish I could eternal sunshine him out of my mind, feel like I'll never be able to move on.

girl, aint a damn thing wrong with you except you want to be happy

And that maybe your idea of happy isn't realistic. You want to heal people around you, and that's also not great for you as you need some type of healing as well. But you don't want to do that, you don't want to think about that, you'd rather focus on other people around you and avoid your own issues.

Stop looking for love, it will come naturally and it won't be people who abuse you or make you get abortions or threaten suicide or think you're constantly cheating.

Don't get me wrong, mentally ill people deserve happiness, too. But not at your expense.
You seek out certain types of people to fix, and they search out people who will be empathetic enough to try to help them, but damn you're not a therapist, they're not your patient.

i wanted to share some good news in this thread

I work in food, I'm a server.
It's for a very up scale, upper class restaurant where the bill is almost always a minimum of 100$. This is a new job, however I've been serving for 3 years.

It's hard, honest work. The toll it takes on your body is more than surprising, and the body strength required to lift certain trays can be shocking.

But I love it.

My previous serving job was not high class in the slightest. It was a corner in the wall place, small and compact, but comfortable.

We were never given things as servers that we are required to have (our own knives, cutting boards, gloves, proper cleaning solutions, proper mop, vacuum, proper rags, trays too small, no tray stands, not big enough server work space, no clock-in, clock-out system)
Both places, upscale and hole in the wall, are mom and pop places.

However, treatment of employees is far superior at the upscale place.

My old boss (and my first real job outside of home) used to pinch me, hit me, squeeze the backs of my arms, demean me, put me down, and verbally assaulted me on top of the physical.

I didn't realise how much better I deserved, how a real restaurant runs, and what a work family is.
I know that now. And I'm so glad to have gotten out of this terrible work place.
Don't ever cut yourself short, you fucking deserve better, you deserve a healthy work place and not a toxic one.
I will everyone well in their work endevours.

Sidenote, the hole in wall is owned by immigrants, asian ones at that, so I chalked up the abuse to a cultural difference, but that is not a fucking excuse do not let anyone abuse you.

I feel so useless. I'm not in uni, I haven't got a job. Granted, I'm still very young, but my partner is now in his second year. My course requires a higher score for me to get in, so I've been working on getting that up externally. I am still trying hard, looking for lots of jobs across my state despite not having a car, trying to sell things (I'm considering selling used panties hah) because I'm on government payments currently and I absolutely hate it. My family is poor, If it wasn't for the government we'd be homeless, I am surprised we're not.

It's just so hard having a partner with rich & loving parents, with such a high degree of education and intelligence. I'm honestly trying so hard, I'm not going to give up, but sometimes I just want to run away and cry. I wish I had a similar life to his, it's so unfair. The only reason I'm on gov support is because my mother refuses to do things like provide food or transport. It's been like this since I was young. Whatever, hopefully something happens soon.

I'm so very happy at my new job.

I used to work at a call center for a few years, but now I'm at a low key office setting doing mostly clerical work. I'm getting along great with my coworkers so far; it couldn't be more ideal. They let me know I'm appreciated, and little things make me feel like I have legit value even when I'm not the most important person in the hierarchy.
10 hour shifts here feel like a breeze. Even at the office's "busiest" times, they were basically my norm at the call center and even then that place was worse. For the same pay I did 20x the amount of work and took far more abuse.

The call center was never slow. I was plugged in and could never leave except for my break and lunch. I was constantly taking back to back inbound calls from the time I clocked in, and sometimes over my shift end (because I wasn't allowed to sign off if my last call was even 2 minutes before my end time, so another call would come in and push me over. I wasn't even allowed time between calls to clear my screen before I had another call and record already on my computer. I was busy, frustrated, and constantly berated by customers all the damn day–8 hours there felt like titty torture. I remember crying before I'd go into the call center, having to work weird hours, and binge eating to cope with the stress because even strong meds weren't helping me. I was joyless. I paid thousands of dollars just to give up my shifts at the call center because my coworkers were greedy, but I felt I had no option because I couldn't be unemployed on paper and I didn't make the hours to qualify for any kind of leave. I was surprisingly good at my job at the call center but despite getting little "awards" every now and then, I was clearly taken advantage of and for granted. The """advancement""" I was promised clearly wasn't materializing so I quit.

It makes me weep. I should've quit my first year at the call center. I can't believe there are people who waste their lives doing those horrendous jobs every day–part of what makes society civil–and get no meaningful restitute for it.
All I can think of is my no good, shitbag ex haranguing and chiding me about "You MUST work!!!!" when I couldn't mentally handle that place. I wanted to kill myself, but I knew I couldn't quit for the sake of supporting us. Of course, he had an easy shit job so he had no problem fucking off to work where he could have fun and not have to come home to help me with anything. If I had this desk job back then, working would never have been an issue!

Work for me is so easy now, it's wonderful but I wince at the horror I put myself through.

In the last couple hours he's suddenly started coughing and I thought it might be a hairball. From there he's gone totally downhill and I'm freaking out. I got him settled and comfortable and he went to sleep for awhile but now he's up wheezing and breathing out of his mouth. From Google it sounds like bronchitis. I'm just shocked how fast he showed symptoms. Like all day yesterday he was fine, playing, eating and now he's wheezing horribly and coughing.

I’m single and still live with my parents and it’s making me sexually frustrated. Trying to stealth shlick is driving me nuts because, after I’m done I want to shut myself in until I can clean up but my mom constantly walks in and out of my room to talk about inane shit, sometimes she has to get something out of a drying space in my bedroom, other times she walks right the fuck in just to open my window and then leave.

I’m an only child and, due to some other reasons too, I genuinely think my parents don’t notice anything. They’ll think I’m sleeping or holing up to watch Netflix and probably never thought their daughter would ever be like a horny teenage boy but thats just how I am. …Like, they think the smell (I’m so sorry you had to read this) is just a BO problem. Don’t they know what sex smells like????

This sort of thing means I don’t buy into the incel/femcel/weird internet shit, I think being an awkward virgin trying to stealth-fap knows no gender. The other day I was on 4chan and saw a similar post where the guy was bemoaning about "how doesn’t the stench of ball sweat warn her off" and I fucking lol’d.

”I take my time" when I know both of them won’t walk the fuck in: when they’re asleep so I might lose a couple of hours in a night trying to get my damn rocks off and it does mess with my body clock. Also I bought a dildo nearly 4 years ago but never used it (even though I really want to) because I can’t stand the thought of experimenting when my parents are technically like 9 feet away past a wall and I don’t have a lock on my door.

Chincel in one of my classes will not leave me alone and is constantly trying to talk to me despite the fact that I full on ignore him. He always moves closer to me and I'll ultimately end up halfway across the table trying to get him to get away from me. He was also breathing down my back last class with his nasty ass coffee breath.

Yesterday I was working on my 3D Modeling in class and he asks me what program I was working with, then proceeded to try and 'help' me 3 times, ultimately ending with 'Hey it looks like you need help there'.

No fucko, I don't need help. And even if I did I wouldn't come to you. You didn't even know what program I was working in, how much do you even fucking know about modeling? Leave me the fuck alone. Also he's the type to wear the same sweatshirt every day and it's nasty.

last year my friends, who i've known since we were 11, just forgot my fucking birthday completely. they all went to uni in different places (not near me) so we pretty much just meet a few times a year, for a few hours, and the time between each meet up just gets more and more. and they could meet up more often but they're just not bothered.

i didn't make friends in sixth form. i didn't make friends at my last job where the average age of my coworkers was 40. i work remotely now so i'm not going to meet anyone at work. i've tried putting myself out there with apps and meet ups, nothing came from that either.

What makes a woman attractive to manchildren?
I puzzle as to why I attract so many. I'm the polar opposite to them in so many ways.
Is there like a list of characteristics? Is it just because they figure I'm going to be their savior and mommy?
>mfw I just found out the guy who's been wanting me, on top of being much too obsessed with trading card games, also doesn't drive, doesn't want kids, and seems like the type to avoid any major responsibilities bc he's content with the lazy bachelor lifestyle including no plans besides living w/ roommates

I think it's precisely the fact that you have, or at least project to have, your shit together. Being a manchild is an unstable position, unless you're a trustfund baby or something similar. Most manchildren aren't, so they look for the next best thing - a mommygf.

Please know this: you are not defective. At every level a woman is at, there will be copious amounts of men at even lower levels trying to shoot their shot. Unsavory men hitting on you is not a reflection of you personally.

I think I'm a lesbian and I'm scared.

I used to think I was. I only dated women for 3 or 4 years. I was extremely happy. Then my now ex-girlfriend sexually abused me and I immediately decided I was bisexual and hopped on the dick of the guy who helped me get out of the relationship. We dated for a few years, I thought I was happy, and it just recently ended because he cheated on me. I was obviously not happy but a small part of me was… weirdly relieved. I did anything I could to never speak to him again despite his pleas to keep me in his life.

Just a few months ago, I met another guy while I was depressed from my breakup. It was pretty rough and he was comforting me despite being a new friend to me. Then one day he dropped acid and was apparently so fucked up that he accidently confessed he had a crush on me.

I guess we're casually dating. I don't know, never made it official but he's protective over me romantically. I never really had strong romantic feelings for him… he just validates the fuck out of me no matter what I do. I realize this is wrong of me to encourage so I plan on making it clear that I don't wanna date him tomorrow.

All of this has made me realize that I miss being with women. I've only been with 2 guys (if you count the second one I mentioned) but I always felt like something was missing. Being with girls was so special and different and fulfilling to me.

I'm scared I've wasted almost 4 years of my life on men I only thought I was attracted to. I'm scared to go back into the lesbian dating pool. I'm scared to be back in the closet. I'm scared to come off as confused.

For now, I just won't use a label. I feel a pressure to know the answer to this immediately even though I logically know it's not necessary.

Sorry for how long this is, guys. Don't really trust the people around me with this information so it's nice to say all my thoughts.

I feel like I've got some sort of identity crisis for years now.

I can never decide whether to live out my weeb desires or try to become more of a normie.
On some days I want to be as skinny and pale as possible, think about getting myself bangs cut, I even bought a lolita dress, I dream of moving to Japan and on other days I think that it would be much better for my mental health to just ditch all that, because it made me that weird and lonely person I am now. In a way I know that trying to become a normal pretty girl with a bit of a tan and a fit instead of a thin body would be much more realistic than trying to achive korean or japanese beauty standards, but I can't help but prefer an "innocent" look over that… However, it's obviously not something that's considered normal or attractive outside of asia.
Having weeby interests has brought me a lot of joy and people online are basically the only friends I have, but on the other hand being different than my classmates is also what made me friendless in the first place. It's no like I was ever openly a weeb, more like I wasn't too popular to begin with and therefore started to spend more and more time online.

My boyfriend has severe bipolar disorder and his mood is extremely easily destabilised (i.e a bad day at work or encountering some mundane difficulty on the commute can send him in to months of depression and threatening suicide). I work a pretty high powered job and am pretty much always stressed up to the eyeballs, I do all I can to support him and help him but I'm always walking on eggshells around him so as not to rock the boat and send him on a 3 day coke binge or screaming at me that he's gonna hang himself. I love him as a person but he's pushing me to my limits at the moment. I have my fair share of stress as he has and I'm only now working through the emotional impact of sexual and physical abuse growing up, but I can't lean on or rely on him the way he does to me. I came to him and asked if he'd have my back going through therapy and he freaked out, immediate depressive period because he "can't cope" with everything I'm going through and sorting out. He straight up said he can't and won't support me because it'll just destroy him and make him depressed. It's just getting worse as time goes by, he was never this unstable when we met and I feel like it's my fault because he always tells me it's me that makes him depressed, for example when I tell him I've had a bad day or that I'm going through some shit emotionally. Then again I feel like him refusing medication or psychiatric help isn't my fault and I do have a little rage that sits in the pit of my stomach about him blaming me. When I refuse sex he freaks out and hurts himself and all he's ever complimented me on is my body ;so I feel like I'm just an object to him now and me having emotions makes him lose it because after all a sex doll doesn't have emotions and that's pretty much what he treats me as. I stick around because I'm hoping some day he'll go back to the guy I had for a good two years that was amazing, caring and sweet but watching his mental state deteriorate this last year and not being able to help has me feeling responsible for him and I don't have the guts or confidence to leave. I know I'm a doormat but I'm genuinely scared he'll take his life if I do leave so it's catch 22. Sorry for the train of thought rant, just had to get it out somewhere.

I know lolicon is a legal grey area but I can't see it as anything but drawn child porn. I'm not talking about those "haha, actually 9000 year old dragon witch lolis" but like, there's art and anime where they're clearly, unarguably supposed to be children and it makes me sick. Especially because 99% of it is little girls and the 'shota' fantasy are usually creeps imagining themselves as the boy, but anyway:
>randoseru. I might not be Japanese, but I'm a Brit and we have a similar thing where primary school children are all given distinct little flat bookbag satchels to go to school with. Imo it's the same age range, same thing. Only a pedo would find a way to sexualise that. I bet western lolicons would argue 'it's a Japanese thing' to get people to ignore it.
>shitty 'comedy' anime, as if creepy hypersexual girls are funny. I saw some crap on MAL where it's about 3 'raunchy'(!?!?) girls 'harass' their male teacher and the promo art had them posing like pinups. Made me fucking nauseous.

How anyone can be into that and deny they're a pedophile must be in denial or a shameless liar. I really wonder why/how Japan has spawned this 'niche' and I want it to die.

You're definitely right. I'm just being way too soft and the ultimatums of "Stop being a cunt" never work with him. I guess I just needed confirmation that I'm not losing my mind and he is being a petulant manchild with or without bipolar. My friends have all said I'm just being too harsh on him and expecting too much with his mental condition so I felt very torn as to whether I was right or they were right. Seeing it all laid out is embarrassing that I let myself be worn down so far. I stay because of rose tinted nostalgia goggles. It feels harsh but his friend is back from deployment this week, he can go stay with him and at least it's off my hands if he pulls any dramatic stunts.

Just because he's bipolar doesn't excuse him from being a bad person. People can be bipolar and capable of being loving, caring partners whilst managing their mental health to the best of their ability, but this guy isn't that.
It's amazing that you're supporting your own career, your own emotional journeys and this charity case but it's not your burden to bear. You don't owe him this, he is not your responsibility and you've already done more than anyone should. Are you going to start just inviting every person off of the street into your life to take, and take and take until there's nothing left of you? If he threatens suicide you can call the emergency services, you can tell his friends or his family or whoever else dares to blame you for not being his carer. If he is genuinely a thread to himself then he needs professional help.

I know that your bf isn't my ex but I just wanted to share that I had a similar thing to explain why I am so worried for you. My first bf was bipolar, I stayed with 3 years because of his suicide threats and similar to you >>383950 our mutual friends would be constantly reminding me that I was "luck because he loved me so much" (and of course I really did love him in some kind of way) until I finally could use the excuse of moving away as an excuse to break up, when I promised to stay his best friend forever and was then essentially his long distance emotional dumping ground until he had one of his episodes and I just blocked him. I kept ignoring his attempts to contact me, but no news of his death came. It was scary at first and I had a horrible time with emotional trauma after I thawed out and had some time for my own emotions, but leaving him was the the best thing I ever did in my whole life. If someone uses self harm or suicide to control your behavior then they don't love you, even if they believe that they do.

I think that my boyfriend is honestly my perfect match, and is a great person who also happens to fulfill even my most specific and nitpicky preferences. The only problem I really have is that in the past he has one of my big red flags, that being liking "traps". I know I shouldn't care that much, as it was a very short lived phase that happened while he was a teenager, but it still irks me. He says that is was partially because he had really bad luck with girls as a teen, and got into a bit of MGTOW autism, and partially because he has not ever seen one irl. He's grown out of the few MGTOW things, and is even very receptive to radfems and he says after having been with a women the appeal of a trap is totally diminished. From what I'd seen he had only liked the stupidly filtered and angled pictures anyhow. Maybe it is wishful thinking, but I am honestly pretty convinced of the idea that sexuality can be more fluid for some people and especially teenagers might go through weird phases. It's also worth noting that he doesn't even look at pornography, since several months into when we started dating 3 years ago, and that his only notable fetish/kink is slightly chubby women, milfs, and petite women.

I guess this is a dumb rant about what is really a non-issue, it just grosses me out that of all things he went through -that- phase. Its certainly not the worse as it is definitely one of the more harmless kinks, and it's not like he even is into it any more at all. It's just gross, it's the "ick" factor that bothers me. I hope no anons think I'm so petty that I would break up over it, this is just a /vent/

he's prolly bi. a lot of guys are into traps (not trannys) because they like soft anime/androgynous bodies and dicks, but think dicks irl are gross. it's a complex thing, but it's not that big of a deal. i knew girls like that who liked anime girls only and then ended up bi, but it's cause they were attracted to them irl, but only "enjoyed" the anime at first because of how idealized it was.

Eh, I'd find it fairly unlikely if it was only for a few months as a teenager, and now his preference seems to be more set in stone as distinctively feminine type women as opposed to androgynous, with prominent hips and chest. I was using trap and tranny interchangeably, he was also never really into anime characters to begin with. Granted, my claim isn't that liking traps is straight or whatever, so much that I think people, especially teenagers can be bicurious and have it literally just be a phase. Not for all people obviously, but that it is common to be more sexually experimental during certain times in your life and that it doesn't necessarily represent someone's preferences.

For how long after breaking up is it normal to still be caught with angry thoughts over an abusive ex?

We ended things back at the beginning of February but sometimes at night I have intrusive thoughts about all the horrible shit he did to me, the things I didn't get to say in my defense, and him lying and gaslighting the narrative in order to look like the victim like a narc.
He blocked himself and I'll never have to see him again but the cope for what he did to me is hard sometimes. It's not like we even dated for that long either, I've just never had another human act so hateful and violent towards me in such a short amount of time and then blame me for his own behavior. I remind myself that he was a user from the start but it doesn't seem to help the feeling of betrayal and sadness.

Tired of being shamed for being in a straight relationship by radfems

I have literally had a lesbian separatist argue with me,that years of happiness with my bf means nothing since his male socialization will creep in and make him mistreat me eventually and that we should break up. I'm not going to call him a "Nigel", demurely kowtow and apologize for "sleeping with the enemy". One can be hetpartnered and still acknowledge male violence and the overarching impact of patriarchy, in obvious and insidious ways. I'm not excusing anyone, even my bf, from being considered in the class of men as a group. I'm not the sort of woman that would prioritize a man over my own interests or that of women as a group. I think it is just as unfair for you to paint straight women as "not all men" mommygf apologists just as it's unfair for others to characterize us as evil TERFS that want to kill all men and transpeople.het-partnered women that. I said what I wanted to, I know some of you disagree and that's fine, but I'm also a feminist and I'm not going to let myself be made out to be the enemy of progress just because I have a boyfriend. Not trying to derail into a notallmen argument (god please no, I agree that's unproductive and a nonpoint) OR troll,

Spent the entire night in the hospital, paid the very little money I had for the fee, been crying my eyes out for hours since I got home and anxiously checking my phone to see when my boyfriend texts back

Of course, he doesn't care. I could've died, and he doesn't care, just like everyone else in my life. He didn't even bother to figure out why I was in there.

One of the reasons I never got into radical feminism is the political, militant lesbianism and hatred of bi/straight girls. Got way too tired of them lashing out at bi girls and calling them sluts and fakers all the time, as if all bisexuals were airheaded staceys doing it for the attention and at the very least had some retarded "straight passing privilege". Non-genderconforming bisexuals exist, bisexualism isn't always 50/50 attraction to both genders and bi people in a gay relationship might lose their partner to the opposite sex just as much as anyone else.

>>384175
Yeah this is what I was going to say. A lot of the most extreme heterosexual-hating lesbians turn out to be straight themselves. An old "friend" used to be like that, constantly taking a shit on heteros and shouting her lesbianism from the rooftops, now she's married to a male kek

It honestly feels like I've been excluded all over again and I've just given up, I don't want to let anyone else in anymore and I've already attempted suicide once this year. They don't know but I did, I feel terribly lonely and like I've lost all my connections.

I wish my dad would stop trying to guilt me into contacting relatives from my mom's side of the family. I don't talk to them for a reason. I tried explaining this to my dad before but he believes that families should all love each other and always be there for each other, even though he's a huge hypocrite who barely sees any of his own family. And I don't know why he cares so much about my mom's relatives. He hasn't been a part of their family since he and my mom split over 20 years ago. But they're family so that means I should always want to talk to them and see them. He still treats me like a child and thinks he can tell me what to do and guilt me into doing things I don't want.

Living with my family now in the suburbs has made me realize that, if I ever get the opportunity to buy a home, I want at least a half acre or so between me and my neighbors. If not that, lots of trees and shrubs to block out noise and provide us with some privacy.

I hate living in the suburbs. One member of my family acts like I’m crazy for not enjoying the attention and people we live around. I’m like my grandma: I want a home for me, not other people. I just want to come home, rest, and not feel obligated to be cordial because I live next door to someone. Ugh.

I really wish my family lived in another part of our state. I have no idea why we are living where we are now. My grandmother also wanted a home of the same size we have in a different city that had more privacy. Like I get it, some people love all that community bullshit, blah blah blah, but I don’t. Most of us save one person likes living here. If we had lived in that other city, we would have had privacy screens, a huge lot, room for a horse or two, and gates around the house so that we wouldn’t have to put no solicitation signs everywhere to stop people from jimmying the lock on the pretense that they’re ‘selling’ something. Plus we would have been close enough to the city to have access to culture, better food, shopping, but a retreat from the hustle and bustle of cosmopolitan living.

Plus, my grandfather cut down all the beautiful trees in our backyard when we got the house remodeled, so we have very little privacy even in our garden. We’ve had issues with looky loos staring through and over the fence, had our neighbors throw random shit into our yard, so it feels like there’s a constant spotlight on the house. I just caught the new people across from us standing in the lawn letting their dog piss and poop while they stared over our gate, and they didn’t do anything to pick that up. Again, ugh.

Call me a whiny bitch. I don’t care. I tolerate it while I go to college and get my life together, but it’s tortorous when you’re kind of awkward and quiet and hate small talk. It’s really stupid, but it’s also kind of frustrating in a way. All of the nice people we’ve known in the neighborhood are either dead or moved away. I miss the other house we lived in that was on a hill, in an old ass neighborhood with broken sidewalks, huge trees, lots of open space nearby, and a 360° view of the town we are in, all the way to the coast. We moved out to remodel cause that place was falling apart, but I loved it so much. It felt like a real home. Where we are now just feels more like a showboat than anything.

They knew that and they took advantage of that and thought it was funny that i cried about my mom well they did it. I've had no closure and no way to prove it even happened, i was raped by a woman even if she now says she's like a " pastel blue prince" or something i have nothing but a text exchange that barely holds weight. I'm so mad all the time and i don't want to be, none of our mutual " friends" took me seriously and when i tried to have a meeting with them they literally invited her too and she smiled at me when i walked in and patted the spot next to her for me to sit. this entire thing killed my sex drive, made feel disgust in my own gayness and fucks me up 4 years later. She's a disgusting liar and she surrounds herself with lairs and equally spineless people.

thank you for hearing me out, it means so much to me to be listened to about this. it hurts because it feels like of the people i've told only 3 of them treated it with gravity. It took 2+ years to start referring to it as rape rather than saying I was taken advantage of. I just want to see her and scream at her and come with all the anger that i've accumulated since the shock wore away. And the thing is, i know she doesn't think twice about it i'm sure she writes off the entire thing as me making a big deal out of nothing. I've seen her twice in the 4 years since and I think I'll be able to but I freeze and run essentially. I've truly never hated a person to the degree that I hate her. i'm glad every connection i had to that friend group has severed.some days it just builds up so much i want to post about it publicly and messily just so people can know but I can't. i don't even wish death on her I literally just wish that people will treat and know her publicly as a liar.

I specifically moved to a new city to reunite with my best friend just under a month ago and I haven't seen her for over two weeks now.
She also has not texted me back for four days now, after I had asked her a question.

I feel like I made a huge mistake moving to this city when I could have flown anywhere else. I just don't get why she called me her best friend and she missed me so much if she can't even bother to text me when she knows how fucked and alone I am right now. She knows I literally just came out of an abusive relationship not even a month ago, but hasn't really asked about it, save for the first time she saw me.
Not to mention 3/4 times I did see her, her boyfriend was there the entire time and didn't leave. So of course I felt obligated to talk to him and include him in the conversations but it basically shut down any possibility of me opening up to my friend about my ex/current feelings.

To make things even weirder, she wants me to move in with her in a couple of months because her job is transferring her but her bf can't come.
Everything is just so fucking weird now, it was never like this before either of us left/got boyfriends. It's so hard for me to say what are genuinely her feelings and actions and what is being influenced by her boyfriend.

i try to smile and encourage them but i'm bitter tbh. i don't want to hear them go on and on about how in love they are and how happy they are, it makes me aware of my own crippling insecurity re: dating and just reminds me i'll probably be forever alone due to my intimacy issues. i'm definitely resentful at them somehow being able to overcome theirs. i wish i wasn't though, ugh

i moved in with a bestie who was living with her new boyfriend, anon. not to scare you but it turned out horribly and we broke off our friendship in the end. if you get a bad feeling, have a backup plan. you don't want to get stuck in a situation like that and have them both turn on you.

The thing is, I feel like she's just delaying the breakup because what they're asking of each other just seems so ridiculous. If they really want to continue their relationship, it's going to be a four year LDR with 4+ hours (one way) in between them.
It's just hard to have a backup plan because she sprung this on me two weeks ago. So I had to make a decision right then basically, because I had to find a job and rent a room that would be okay with someone leaving in less than six months. I mean, thank god I was able to, otherwise I was looking at near homelessness (she strongly hinted that staying and her place with her bf was the L A S T, most painful option for them…even after I mentioned I might have to stay in a women's shelter and I would have literally paid for the time I stayed with her).
I also probably won't be able to see her or talk to her until the last weekend of March because she is busy with her bf and is leaving for a trip next week.

It just kind of feels like I'm being used, which is hilariously ironic because I just told her about how my ex used me like this.
I kind of just feel like booking a flight and going where I wanted to originally and fucking off forever. She probably wouldn't even know I left, given how long it takes her to respond or ask about me.

i would say if that's your gut reaction, to get the fuck out of there, you should listen to it.

but at the most, wait two more weeks. if she's still avoidant after a month then that is far too much of your time wasted and you deserve to not have your entire life strung around by someone who doesn't care. it seems like you're hinging a lot on her and she just isn't supplying anything.

I fucking hate almost everything about my coworker. She's smug, constantly feels the need to one-up others in our office for no reason, and is an asslicker who clearly never got over a teacher's pet phase from high school. She treats me and the other newer girls at the office like a bunch of kids despite being our same age. She also can't stand when any of us talk about our very recent university days and always has to harp on how we wasted our money cause she has no post-secondary education and is fine. She also bitches at us if we don't follow procedure to a T, but breaks actually important rules herself all the time because she's uwu special.

Even just looking at her is annoying. She's fat and has shitty poorly concealed tattoos of meaningless stuff like Tangled, just barely skating by the dress code due to aforementioned asslicking. She could be pretty, she has a really conventionally attractive face and shockingly nice hair and skin for someone who lives on a diet of mcdoubles and fruit juice. Related to her being a fatass, she also goes on about her vague and likely self diagnosed "chronic pain" and "chronic illness" aka her aches from all the excess weight. She used said chronic illness to fake sick for an entire week before her vacation, leaving everyone else swamped. Naturally she is also a hypocrite who bitches about anyone else who takes a sick day cause it makes more work for her.

I love my job and everyone else at my work, so really it's just this chick who puts a damper on it.

Fucking hell we’re visiting a foreign country and this evening my dad said he wanted to walk around the city and look around but I stayed in cause I was tired and jet lagged. After almost two hours I hadn’t heard from him and I was a little worried he got lost but I figured if he was, he could find his way back with his phone GPS, but I also shrugged it off since he hadn’t eaten dinner yet and was probably in a restaurant or something.

Welp I just got a call from him about 20 minutes ago, turns out he ate shit on a curb, smashed his face and lost like 10+ teeth and broke his finger. He stopped by in the ambulance since he had the only key to the place and jfc he was absolutely covered in blood. It was awful and he kept saying his jaw felt broken too. The paramedics were really kind and assuring but still I want to cry. They said to call the hospital in an hour or so but I’m so fucking nervous and have no idea if I can wait that long without exploding. My dad is already old and not in the best of health and this is only going to make it worse. Plus I have no idea if our insurance is going to cover this or how much it’s going to cost.

Thank fucking god we’re in a country where most people speak good English otherwise this would be an even worse disaster. I feel so bad, like I should’ve convinced him not to go out and then this would’ve never happened. I feel even worse because I was actually waiting for him to leave because he was kinda getting on my nerves and I wanted some alone time. Fuck sorry for rambling I’m just really anxious and have nobody else to talk to right now

I was sexually abused as a child and prayed on by creepy older men that used me for sex because I was mentally ill. When I was 17 and admitted to the mental hospital a much older man that was also admitted for depression groomed me into becoming his sexual doll, all my exes cheated on me and I ended up forgiving them and having sex with them afterwards. I got my pap smear done a few days ago and just got the results today and they are pretty bad I need a coloposcopy and a biopsy because I'm a suspect of highly oncogenic HPV. I've been wondering where I got it from, maybe I have it since I was 8 and raped, who knows. I'm also really young but honestly if I get diagnosed with a strain of HPV that has a high risk of causing cervical cancer I will kill myself. Ironically, now that I think about my past sexual encounters none of them were truly enjoyable for me so I guess it was never worth it, I wish I knew better back then and I wish I knew that those people just wanted to take advantage of me and my body only because I was emotionally vulnerable by things that happened in the past. Take care of yourselves farmers.

Female abuse and mistreatment is so normalized in my country and so many women die from cancer caused by HPV and everytime there's a feminist movement or a woman tries to speak about her issues she gets bullied by men until she's fed up and quits. I wish I could speak about my experiences and try to help other women but I'm too big of a coward. Sometimes I wonder if this country has any hope at all.

I also work as a camgirl because I couldn't sustain a normal job but I truly hope that the men using cam sites never get girlfriends and never get to fuck and that they'll be addicted to spending money on female attention for the rest of their lives and that they won't have the guts to go to real life prostitutes.

Anybody else feels like they're wasting their potential?

I'm tall, have a good metabolism, nice chest, small waist, I was always told to try modeling - yet I let myself get fat.
I've never had bad skin, I could probably get it to be completely clear of any pimples or spots - yet I never wash my face.
I often get told how white my teeth are - but I only brush them once a day, so who knows how rotten they'll be once I'm older.
My hair would be so easy to take care of, I never have split ends - yet it's often greasy because I'm too lazy to wash it.
Because of my height and abilty to build muscles quickly I was very athletic as a child - yet I've stopped doing sports completely.
My mother would be willing to buy me lots of clothes etc in an attempt to make me happier - yet I always decline.
My furniture is super pretty - but I always let my room be a mess.
I was so popular in primary School - but lost all friends because I acted like a weirdo later on.
I always had very good grades without having to do much - yet now I don't put in any effort meaning I'm only mediocre at best.

You're overthinking this, anon. You don't have to tick some boxes or have a number of points ; if you're attracted to girls, then you like girls.

About feeling attracted to girls in a different way than men though, I like both, dated both, and feel the same way. It's totally understandable to like different aspects of either gender and get a different feeling from them, just like you'd like different aspects of different individuals.

relax, it's OK not to label yourself if you don't want to. it's also OK to be bi and go out with a guy. and it's definitely OK to find both men and women attractive but in different ways. I feel like many people say stuff like "oh for me it's all about the person, I don't care about their gender" but that doesn't make them better people, personally I like different things about men and women whilst finding both attractive.

another thing to remember is that being bi is a spectrum. and pretty much everyone is on it. you don't have to be 50/50 equally attracted to men and women to be bi, it can be 60/40, 70/30, 80/20, 90/10, in either direction.

That's terrible and you shouldn't have to deal with this.

Frankly, it's abusive and you absolutely have the right to tell your partner this new dynamic is weighing on you.

Suposedly, a protest against abortion penalization was going to happen in the town square of my city. We'd put on green scarves and speak out about feminist issues that are currently happening in my country (México). No one went. I'm so frustrated. When is about heteronormative families huge groups gather to march, but apparently no one bats an eye about the closing of women shelters and the lack of bodily autonomy we have.

Yesterday I found out about my best friend's private Twitter account. Apparently the last years every time something bothered her about my behavior, instead of telling me to try to improve it or to give me her point of view, she took screenshots of our conversations and post them there, where their followers (which some are friends we have in common), could read it.

I've also had to read things about my personal life and how she thinks I'll end up alone in the world because nobody likes me. She even laughed when I got my heart broken by a jerk.

I don't understand how instead of talking to me, she prefers to put all those things in a social network, even laughing at things that are very important to me.
I also don't understand how other friends, knowing that this happened, have not been able to tell me. I understand that the account is private, that everyone needs to let off steam from time to time, that you can tell a friend something else you don't like about other friend but being my best friend, don't I deserve to know?

During all these years, every time someone has commented something bad about her or they have talked shit about her, I always told her, not as a snitch but so that she knew what the other person really thought. I can not believe that she, precisely her, is the person I should be warned of.

She told me in person some of the things that she has posted but a lot of time later, when I couldn't do anything to fix it more than apologise.

I used to be "friends" with a handful of people who would basically make it a competition on which person to call out next for petty shit or befriend some problematiqué people on purpose it seemed like to expose the rest of their friends to and we all felt like we just had to deal with their degeneracy out of guilt. Then a few short months afterwards, said "friend" will call out the person they subjected us to. It was exhausting and I shortly realized less than a year later it was not an actual friend circle, it was a narc trap.

I'm really disappointed in myself for not buying a particular Fluevog shoe back in October, and now it's no longer available.

I'm partially sketched out about buying expensive shoes online due to the sizing issues I've had in the past, and after all it's such a hassle to resell or do returns if that's the case. THey were $200+ I couldn't justify throwing down for them at the time.
Now the opportunity has long since passed and I feel really empty. Secondhand sites turn up nothing, and I can't even be mad at that because the shoe was so interesting I doubt anyone would want to give theirs up. I usually think Fluevog shoes are pretty fug, but the shoes I wanted matched so well thematically with this outfit I'm putting together for an event in a couple months.

I really can't stand it when people say that nobody's life is perfect. Well, the definition of a "perfect life" is unique to everyone but my friend has it nearly perfect. She's mentally as healthy as one can be, super confident to the point of being narcissistic, has a perfect supportive family, is working towards her dream job, the list goes on and on.
It's really hard for me to keep on forcing myself to be happy for her (as bad as that sounds) ,especially since my life is the absolute opposite in regards to pretty much everything.
She's never had genuine interest in my problems or made an effort to be a good listener. It was all about her and she couldn't stand anyone being better than her or doing better in life …so I'm kinda glad we're not that close anymore.

So I've been doing really good with my mental health recovery, I accomplished a lot in one week, facing my fears and being assertive with my anxiety. Today just happens to be an off day and I pretty much expect it, but as always it's just tough to go through because of the sensations. I dissociate for what it seems like minutes at a time, maybe hours and I start to get panicky. Grounding helps, but there's times where it only helps like 10% and I still have the sensations.
I'm excited to get better. It's been tough, but I'm doing it for a better quality of life.

Don't trust men who beg money from you early on in the relationship. And if you think it's bad now, wait until it's years down the road when you're more emotionally invested in him and he's aware of the sunk cost you put into the relationship. It will get worse before it gets better.

I had savings and a reliable car while I was unemployed. A fuckboi that I dated for a couple months sucked me dry before he got abusive with me and then used his abuse as an excuse to break up when he didn't want to have what I did for him over his head, nor pay me back, and wouldn't have to do anything nice for me in return.

A better question is what do you see in him that outweighs the red flag of him having asked you for money?
Do you see him changing? If he doesn't change, then are you prepared to become the provider in the relationship and carry everything financially? Do you intend for the relationship to become serious down the line?
People don't change. You can talk his ear off until the cows come home. I'm just saying this is a man unlikely to change his ways if he's already so comfortable with asking a brand new girl for her money, esp if she only works part time.

I've been in a similar situation before. It sucks seeing a friend suffer, but you need your boundaries too.
Maybe advise her to seek any free or cheap local resources that could help her out? I know my local hospital has a warm line and a visitation room where you can talk to a counselor for free. There's also the crisis text line you can contact, I remember using that at least twice a day when I felt really bad. There's always help out there, sometimes it's hard to look and other times it just keeps you depressed.

24 is a perfectly fine starting point. Hell, you could start a great life at, say, 45. That's over 20 years to figure out what you want to do, to take the steps you need to reach the goals you really desire until one day you wake up and see that you're living a wonderful life. Honestly try to ignore where other people are. It's not about competing with them but about competing with your previous self, because none of this is ultimately for them, it's for you. Your life. Your happiness. I know anxiety and agoraphobia are horrendously debilitating and take so much away from you and your life (I went through around 10 years as a NEET because of them) but please try to remember it's okay to start now, to start anything. You can't get back the years that mental illness took your joy out of but you can absolutely reach a better future if you figure out what you want and start making small steps towards it.

I ended things with a friend recently, and found out that she made a break up playlist about it on Spotify. One of the songs is about "being more than friends" and I knew she had a crush on me, she was never subtle, but I never at any point reciprocated the feelings. The only time I can recall is when I made a dumb meme joke asking her to date me for a minute, then breakup so I could relate to a break-up song like pic related. One time she made a "Romeo and Juliet AU" for us, which I made obvious to her that I was uncomfortable with and told her to stop, but she just got mad at me for being upset with it. It's just weird to me, idk man. Am I in the wrong for thinking it's weird?

No. 385036

My old bat of a mother is a selfish narcissist and I'm so frustrated and upset that all she can think about is herself. Her age and chain smoking isn't helping her and she grows more neurotic and paranoid by the year.
I never tell her anything anymore, she can't handle anything less than positive 24/7 and she tone polices; she goes on the attack constantly. Both me, my stepdad, and an ex who have ever lived around her for any period of time can't stand her. She's an unbearable and needy person to live with because all she does is stay in the house on her computer and expects others to constantly entertain her and think about her. She has no motivation to do anything herself, she's lazy and doesn't give a fuck about anything but her comfort. She can't even make friends; she doesn't trust other women-including me btw. She pretends she has long distance friends but she only speaks to them around holidays.

She constantly hurts my feelings and provokes fights with me, then she turns around and points the finger at me for not being pleasant around her presence. She always compares our mother daughter relationship to everyone else's and blames me for why it sucks, because she says "I don't see anyone else's daughters treating their mothers this way!" Well, maybe if she did anything consistently positive I'd associate her with something other than negativity. When she displays affection (only in front of others, of course), it feels artificial and fake since it's a giant performance to make herself look good. I know her score.
I'm terrified to bring friends around her because she judges the fuck out of anyone not up to their standards. She especially hates my female friends, but she also pearl clutches around any males I'm friends with because I'm fucking them all obviously. I'm mortified to bring any future boyfriends home to meet her because she'll do the judgment thing. And also because I don't want my partners to think I'll turn out like her. That is, self-centered, slovenly, hypocritical, and mean. I don't even like to tell her that I'm seeing someone new because the first thing she asks is if I'm having sex. It's none of her business and it's creepy, I'm in my late 20s.
She's toxic as fuck and is an emotional parasite.

All my relatives have to say to me is to "just ignore her," which is an easy copout because they' don't live with her and mom acts peachy sweet to them to maintain her image. Even though most of them know how she truly is, they enable her garbage because it would be too much to ever stand up to her and say boo. Even my stepdad makes excuses for her when she's on a rampage against us and says "It's because of your biological father." Okay, he was a prick but she hasn't had to deal with him for over a decade and that's no longer a valid excuse for her present behavior. Although even then my stepdad can't always defend her attitude. Like what happened today.

I was catching up on sleep from work so I slept in. I awoke to my stepdad walking inside the house. Mom asked him what was wrong because he must have looked upset, and I heard him say that the truck light he just replaced went out again.
Most NORMAL spouses would probably say something supportive like "Oh that's a shame I know you worked hard on it."
But what does my unstable mom say?
"UGH nobody is ever happy around here!" My dad correctly asks her what she's talking about, and how she's not really happy herself. She retorts, "Between you and HER I'm a fucking punching bag! Nobody ever thinks about me."
By "her" she was referencing me. What I've done recently? Nothing, but she holds grudges for something weeks or years ago. By "punching bag" she means any time we stand up for ourselves she considers that to be abusive behavior. Because how we not take her verbal abuse and outbursts in silence like good little pieces of shit that she thinks of us as.
Mind, I hadn't left my room but to get a snack earlier. She tried to drag me into a fight I literally had no part in!
Whatever was said, it caused her to tell my stepdad to fucking go and she retreated to her room per usual feeling sorry for herself to watch animal videos on Youtube. My dad left for the day to go to a basketball game with his buddy.
My mom was short and curt with me all day for no reason other than her bringing me up negatively in her argument earlier and not speaking in a tone that kissed her ass, I guess. The fuck do I know about this mental shit?????

I accidentally spilled a snack on my bedroom floor earlier today. It happened shortly after their fight so I didn't want to leave my room since I wanted to avoid her, so I determined to vacuum it when she went back into her own room later. I laid down, and I had a nightmare during my nap that she came in and started to yell at me and pick apart my life for not having vacuumed it immediately.

This is the effect she's having on me but I'm supposed to love her? I'm supposed to be sad when she dies? I'm supposed to pine for a relationship as she is right now?
She's a monster. And my only salvation is to move out again so I can go back to limited contact but I can't until I get into the financial position to do so again. It sucks living with her, I wish there was any other option.

i was a girl who was orbited on r9k. that means people stole my photos from my private instagram and started posting them into r9k and other places because i was their “waifu.” this happened because it happened to one of my friends on my instagram page so her incel followers leaked into mine. i don’t care much about insta so i didn’t know what was going on until people were messaging me that my pics were on r9k. i had to delete my page because i was being told that people were looking for my irl info/dox. this happened early last year btw. so basically after i deleted the page there were people using my photos a lot still. during this time my friendship with my irl best friend of 10 years fell apart because she was crazy. she started using my photos to catfish some of these losers for money or something, maybe to get back at me in some sick way, which..long story short..made this situation much worse for me. because some of those people think they were actually talking to me. i know it was my ex bff because someone emailed me with a screenshot of a text conversation between them and the fake me, and the number attached was my bff’s cell number, no idea how he got my email btw. there were people doing everything to find my real life info after that and i was really scared. like way more fervent about it than last time. i’m so afraid she’s going to completely dox me online or post some shit somewhere about where i live and actual info that could put me in danger. i know she tricked some of those guys into thinking they were talking to me because she knows real things about me and she has old photos of me that i didn’t post onto social media. i have no clue what she’s told them about me or shown them and the thought of it makes me sick. i’m sort of being over dramatic about this because nothing has happened to me at all and this has been going on for a year or so but the thought of it bothers me every day. i’m disgusted about the comments i’ve read r9k incels write about me in their creepy orbit threads, i’m grossed out by my friend using this situation against me because our relationship fell apart. i’m mad that i have to keep a low profile online and can’t have any public social media or post about my life. i’m angry that people felt so entitled to my personal life and my privacy. i’m mad at myself for not blocking that girl on my insta who was being orbited so her stupid followers wouldn’t see my shit too. just so horrified by this situation and i can’t imagine being so sick in the head to do this to someone. i know it’s hypocritical of me to post this on lolcow which is essentially known for being a “hate site” but i think doxxing and a-logging someone is going too far, and trying to ruin their lives is too far. rant over.

There's nothing wrong with having a low online profile and avoiding posting about your life, it's not a life ending scenario. If not creepy orbiters, it would be other randoms collecting that sort of info about you and gossiping. Social media is just an outlet for voyeuristic persons, particularly when it comes to instagram.

For what it's worth a vengeful ex posted my dox on r9k as well as other boards repetitively and nothing came of it. Most of the guys on r9k are just low test betas who get off on the idea of making a woman uncomfortable, not that they're high effort to actually harass. If that were the case, then they'd actually get jobs and gfs instead of being worthless NEETs.

Had a meltdown and texted some horrible things to my partner because I was depressed and abusing alcohol. This was the first time I acted like this in ages and it scared him so much that he feared for his and my safety. We agreed to cut contact for a couple of weeks the day after.

During my meltdown, he expressed to me that maybe we should just stay friends. He cares about me and wants me to get help but I just don’t think I should even bother with him anymore. I already feel extremely ashamed that I made him feel scared of me and that I abused him. I also don’t believe in being just friends with an ex.

my instagram was PRIVATE, but i admit it was my mistake for accepting followers that came from my friend's instagram (the one that was being orbited.) i thought it was innocuous at the time but clearly it wasn't, my mistake but that still doesn't warrant my photos being posted and me being stalked by obsessive virgins.

I feel like the more I learn about international affairs and politics, the more divorced I become from liberalism, and the left as a whole. They've accomplished some good things and brought a few important issues to light, but fucking hell.
I definitely can't stomach the far right and their proud, open ignorance, racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc, but the left is somehow almost as awful. They position themselves as "progressive", "open-minded", "feminist", "anti-racist", etc, but when you actually get close to them, the mask always slips and their true colors come out. Either they are secretly exactly all the things they attack on the right, or they're just shamefully fucking stupid and ignorant of the world outside their tiny bubble.
I feel like hitting peak trans was the first step, and then everything else just came tumbling down. Some of the things putting me off are interactions I've had with liberals. I'll never be some alt-right/tradthot retard, but jesus fuck. Where to even go from here? I wish there was a good space for moderates.

For example, my dad definitely is right wing, but constantly votes leftists because they are the only ones who care about people with disabilities which helps my brother get help that he needs.

Look at it this way - barely anybody your and my age can afford to move out in my country, and it’s becomming common in western societies as well. If you told some over here you want to off yourself because you can’t afford to move out at 27, they’d ask you if you’re going through abuse and offer to move in with them….and their parents. People move out when they marry, but in many cases they just move in with husband’s family. Cheer up and good luck on moving out!

Don't feel useless for living at home still! Maybe think about getting a studio further from the city center or even outside the city if public transport allows you to semi-easily travel there. Also maybe consider getting a basic part time job in the meantime to save money while you look for a job you really like.
I have to travel for 3,5 hours every day using public transport and while it's kinda sucky I much prefer it over living in an overpriced apartment I can barely afford. Roommates are also something to consider to make living on your own more affordable.

I know your feel. I'm getting increasingly more interested in politics but at the same time feel awful about it because there's no one party that represents my personal points of view. I wouldn't call myself moderate because some of my views are decidedly "leftist" (climate change for example, and taxing the extremely rich) while some others are very "right-wing" (such as the refugee crisis in Europe, which my country is hit by heavily, and identity politics standing in the way of free speech).
I don't even know what to vote for anymore. I always voted for green parties in the past but admittedly that was mostly influenced by people in my surroundings. I couldn't see myself ever voting for right-wing parties either though. I just wish something would bring a huge change to the way our governmental system works, really at this point any change in any direction would be welcome to me.

My GP’s office keeps trying to call me from random or unlisted numbers even though I've told them several times that I'm very anxious about accepting unexpected calls from unknown numbers, and they told me that it wasn't a problem and they'd be happy to use email instead. They even said that they’d make sure to check the “email preferred” box in my file as if it’s standard protocol. Yet they keep calling me anyway, including for trivial stuff like a reminder of our appointment a few days from now. I’m pretty sure that sending standardised appointment reminders through email is easier than having to call every patient individually and it wouldn’t startle me every time, so why do they keep doing it?
Most of the time when I get a call from an unknown or unlisted number it’s either a scam or a grunter, so I really prefer being able to just ignore them.

>I'm curious as to what makes women not want sex outside of rape and CSA.
I never thought about myself as a CSA victim until I told my husband about one of the things that happened to me when I was child. He thinks that I was being groomed. I hadn't considered this as a possibility. I assumed this man did it because he could and he was an asshole.

It happened when my mum had an affair. My dad was always cheating on her. As far back as I can remember she used to cry all the time because he was out with other women instead of being at home with us. When I was five this other man started visiting. Him and my mum were never discrete about what they were doing. I knew on some level that it was wrong, she was doing stuff with him that she should only be doing with my dad. She looked happy and stopped crying all the time, so I really didn't know how to feel about it. What they were doing in front of me started to escalate to the point that my mum would suck his dick when I was in the same room. Several times I walked in on them having sex and he would smile at me and carry on. He used to walk around the house naked and would even do it with an erection. He never said much to me apart from one time when I let him in while my mum was out. She'd been neglecting me in favour of him for while, so I was nearly always hungry. He gave me a banana and a chocolate bar to eat. Then he said something about me being a good girl and it not being my fault. He touched my face and went on about things being different if I was ten years older. The first part would make sense a few years later but the last part still doesn't. My husband thinks that he was implying that if I had been fifteen, he would have wanted to have sex with me instead. It ended when he made my mum pregnant. A few days after she told him, he disappeared.

It never felt like he had any sexual interest in me, it was more like he wanted to emotionally hurt me by making me feel disgusted and uncomfortable. When I was a teenager I found out who he actually was. He had been a business partner of my dad's until he found out that my dad was sleeping with his sister and had screwed him over in a business deal. His only interest in my mum was using her to get back at my dad, something he succeeded in because my dad raised my half sister as his own.

Nonsensical rant.

I feel like my boyfriend's mom, and I almost feel like I can't be too mad because it's what I signed up for. We have this deal where I cook and clean for him while pays the bills and rent, so I'm essentially like a sugar girlfriend, I guess, but overtime it's becoming super grating.

I've been doing it for about three? years now, and we're in our late 20s, but he just has all this money in savings (over $100K in liquid + assets) but no job, so I'm like, man, wtf, can you get it together, I know you have money to live on but you're being frugal as shit and it's annoying (promising me vacations but not following through because muh income), whereas I work full-time and make around $50k. It frustrates me that he doesn't take it seriously and just sits around jerking off and playing games, and then complains about not having enough money but won't get a job when he's extremely intelligent, skilled, and qualified with a master's degree. He asks me to motivate him, and not even motivate him to WORK but motivate him to do simple things like go to bed at a simple time, to work out, etc., but I'm busy with my own damn job with Fortune 100 clients.

Right now, I'm at a coffeeshop trying to work and he woke up (at 1:30) and wants food and won't even tell me wtf he wants to eat and aaaaaaah it's not my damn problem.

Occasional loud fights in a longterm relationship are completely normal. Especially if the couple is is living together.

The key is a.) occurrence and b.) end result

If there's a screaming match every day, it is not healthy. If there is no resolution, it is not healthy. Chaos, instability =/= occasional screaming

>>385547
I can relate to this. Ultimately this is the power-dynamic that arises when you depend on someone financially. Even if you are making your own money, he is still taking the brunt of overall costs.

The ONLY way to fix this is to start contributing financially as well. Otherwise, you have no ground to stand on. When arguments used to come up between my SO and I, he would always win because at the end of the day I had no skin in the game. He was essentially paying for my existence and the least I could do was make sure laundry and cooking was done. I started paying more bills and then we were finally able to divvy up household responsibilities for the sake of fairness. If you let a man get away with not helping around the house, he will never do it on his own, and will absolutely put you in the role of mother. That's exhausting. Especially if you are working fulltime and he is harassing you during the day. My SO still does this because he is steadily maturing out of being a big man baby, it just takes practice and you holding him accountable.

I do ask… if you are making 50k a year and not paying bills/rent, where is your money going?

What an idiot, that is not an excuse to stop working, it's really not that much money in practical terms. Does he want to pay rent forever, or does he want to own a home?

Your immediate situation is a problem too (why on earth you're putting up with being a bangmaid who also works full time when you could easily split the bills, I don't know…) but he doesn't seem to have any concern for his finances in the long term.

I pay for our groceries/food, my car, my own bills (health insurance, student loans, any outstanding debt), and any frivolous things I want. The rest goes into savings and my 401k. I took the "deal" so I could do get out of my old situation where I was paying upwards of, like, $1k in rent when I was making much less money, but now I'm much better off financially in terms of my salary. I think I probably should have just moved back in with my parents at that point.

Ah. If you want to make it work, you are going to need to set boundaries with him. I also don't understand why he isn't working… regardless of his savings. 100k goes fast. The one thing that made my dynamic do-able was the fact that my bf worked full-time and was also in school. Having to take care of a literal man baby (I imagine he's in his late 20's/early 30's if he has a master's) must be absolutely horrible and I hope you can work things out.

Also, as a warning, he might get really defensive when you bring it up with him. It's ironic because they love to put you in a motherly role when it's convenient for them, but once you start trying to crack down on things they can whig out.

I've gone through ups and downs with my family.
Right now feels like a down, even though it's from nothing particular theyve done recently . I havent lived at home for quite some time and in those years ive been processing some of the bad things my family has done to me. They dont realize a lot of these things as bad, my mother is even proud of some of these decisions on my life. She thinks of them as positive but in reality to me they affected me negatively.

I'm having resentment build up again and anytime we talk now it just makes me upset. Another thing is I was sexually abused as a child by a relative (neither of my parents). And while my parents were upset and understanding when I finally told them what was happening. They never talked about it again. I wish I had some therapy or something because that shit really messed me up.

I don’t know if this is venting but wasn’t sure where to put this. But anyway I had sex this cycle but we’re always super careful, we used condoms every time, didn’t notice any breaking or leaking ever. But now my period is 4 days late. It’s been 1-2 days off before but never more than that, and I’d always feel cramps or backache a few days before so knew it was coming soon and

(sorry tmi/gross) I can usually “smell” the metallic blood smell like a day before it starts and (more tmi) if I finger myself the discharge will be SLIGHTLY brown a little and smell like blood again- like ~12-24 hours before it actually starts.


But now- none of that. I keep checking my discharge, and it’s clear and watery and I’m kinda dry tbh. No metallic smell, no cramps or backache. I even feel a little nauseous right now (just woke up recently) but I can’t tell if it’s “I’m nervous as fuck about being pregnant nausea” or “I’m pregnant nausea”

Anyway as you can see I’m nervous as fuck, I don’t want to be pregnant. I’m so scared but feel like maybe I’m overreacting- i know lots of girls have pregnancy scares, this is the first time I’ve actually been genuinely scared though. I keep telling myself to calm down and IF I still don’t have it by tomorrow evening to buy a test and take it the following morning.

Get a test. I know it's scary, I've been there. I don't know what your feelings on abortion are but if you're absolutely sure you don't want to go through with a pregnancy at this time there are a lot of options, assuming you've been pregnant for less than a month. If you're even pregnant that is. Hopefully it's just a hiccup in your cycle. I'll be thinking of you, please write an update in the next vent thread.
