>>421233You have no right to diagnose me. You can't diagnose people over the internet. You sound like my sister. Diagnosing me. You probably project like she does.
Don't feel sorry for her. She brought all this upon herself. She aggravates people and pushes their buttons to the breaking point then cries when they finally lash out at her. She never learns or takes responsibility for herself. She brings out the worst in people then plays the "tee hee I'm so innocent" or "I don't know what you're talking about" card.
Once, she plugged a fan in and it caught on fire. She claimed she "never had a problem with it in months" and that "it suddenly had problems and I don't know why." Bitch you know why. Our parents could have been hurt and it would have been your fault. Instead of taking responsibility for property damage, she asks the fire department to investigate further because she thinks isn't sure it's her fault. Always very obtrusive to her parents.
I'm the favorite because I don't do half the trifling shit she does. Whatever money I loan to my parents, it gets paid back. Hers doesn't because she makes more than me and she causes more emotional distress. Then she complains about it even though it's basically chump change to her.
My father nicely asked her for money for the disaster. She was hesitant and told him that he still owed her $6,000. She asked him for his bank statement and was even more reluctant to help because she saw evidence of buying cigarettes and gambling. Because of her holier-than-thou beliefs, she refuses to help our family in our dire time of need. Just because we have a disaster it means our father can go without lotto tickets and cigarettes? Who died and made her boss? We pointed out that it was none of her business what we do with our money. She shifts the blame on us and said "Well if you ask me for my money, it will be my business." The sheer gall of this bitch. Who changed her diapers? Who put a roof over her head? My dad even bought her a bed and clothing. All that money spent on her growing up and for what?

Her coworkers hate her and said she doesn't need that money. They are single moms with kids. They pointed this out to her. Why should she make that much money and not they? Her insensitive response was "Why don't they show up for work when scheduled? Why don't they just control their attitudes at work?" Bitch you're the one with the attitude. Even her friends hate her.

I'm convinced some people only get mad about rudeness because they're too worried about looking bad publicly to say whatever they want in response. That, or they want free reign for them or their friends to shit on you, and get buttblasted if you don't give it to them.
I got banned from some place for "being abrasive" after someone said something edgy and another person attempted to antagonize me for (harshly) telling them it wasn't cute or cool. Thing is, I'm 99% sure the mod or admin was having a little bitch fest of their own about it with a friend or in a private chat, while passive aggressively spamming and posting cold, weak takes at me in the main one and letting others at me. They probably got annoyed that I wasn't shrinking back, even though they and others continually escalated things to begin with.
I can't really imagine living like that on the internet. It's better to just call someone a dumb bitch to their face instead of trying to dance around everything.
I don't seek out conflict, especially considering that was the only argument I ever had in that group, but if someone starts something with me, I see no reason not to go in on them. If you're not ready for a scorching reply when you attempt to "dunk" on someone, why try it at all? Just be quiet and let it die.

I have had such a shit time with guys since I left my ex. I left him because I was tired of getting my feelings hurt by his coldness and immaturity mostly. I left so I could be happy and now I'm more miserable.
My depression (yes, I'm officially diagnosed) has reached a point that I doubt I can be fixed. I have been lied to, played, treated with no consideration like a piece of trash, and even sexually assaulted.
Tomorrow is my first day back in therapy after about two years. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I'm going anyways to try. Its my last hope.
I probably shouldn't date, but I have been seeing someone casually for about a month. We don't sleep together which is good I guess. I very much like him. In the back of my mind I feel like he's going to fuck me over somehow like everyone else though. I don't trust myself and my judgements anymore. I don't trust much of anyone. I feel that everything I do is wrong.
If I take another blow to my little heart, I don't think I'll be able to take it this time.
I have it kind of planned out, but it feels so alien from me. The idea feels distant from me, like it isn't mine which I see as more dangerous. Tomorrow I will talk about it with the therapist.
Life fucking sucks. I hate my feelings. I always wear my heart on my sleeve and it is going to literally kill me.
I used to physically hit myself. Also, I used to see how far I was willing to go to stab myself with a knife. Now I cut. I've been to emergency for it once. It is surreal how easy and painless cutting that deep is.

This isn't even just a thing with exercise equipment is the sad thing. For example, women literally die more in car crashes because cars (and crash dummies) are made for average male bodies by default.
No. 421757
>>421753I am pretty certain the car thing has nothing to do with test dummy heights. Airbags are enormous and designed so that just about any noggin around can hit them. I would personally guess that more women die in car crashes because female bodies are smaller, less built, and less resilient against physical trauma.
There is no conspiracy to prevent women from pumping iron. It's just more of a male interest, so of course they would set the machines to male height, right? Why would they set it to 5'3 if everyone who uses the machine is 6'?

>Why would they set it to 5'3 if everyone who uses the machine is 6'?Because evidently, not everyone who wants to use it is 6'0. In the first place, blocking an entire gender from using certain objects that would logically be unisex isn't any less of a problem just because you're doing it under the mistaken idea that it's more profitable. Not sure why this is hard to accept.

Alternatively, do you have any sources to back up your claim that the entire gender data gap is false and on the same level as women being told to talc their vaginas?
>Today they tell you that cars are made to kill women because that happens to be what's profitable right now.What it's saying is that because cars are made exclusively for one part of the population, others are often inadvertently made to suffer. It's a massive oversight, and this whole thing of "Male is the default, so why bother taking women into account for our product" stretches even into the medical field, psychology (women being diagnosed with autism much later/less frequently because our symptoms manifest differently and male symptoms are focused on the most), etc.

No. 421768
>>421764The article links sources for claims like "women die more in car crashes than men." I don't need a scare journal to tell me that.
And… there is really no way to fix that, either. No matter how safe you make cars, women will always die more than men, because women do not handle physical trauma as well as men. The only way to make both sexes die equal amounts in car crashes would be to make it so NOBODY dies in car crashes (and we're getting there, btw - self driving cars ftw!)

>>421768What you're missing is
why. And that "why" is pretty well-documented. It's not a scare journal, it's statistical information and studies explaining the issue at hand and what links to it. Again, the article doesn't even just go into cars, but multiple examples of this problem and how it negatively impacts society and functionality. Don't be afraid, be informed.
"It's going to happen anyway!" holds as much weight as saying "Well, why make anything safer? Everybody dies eventually, and people will still make mistakes and have accidents". There's just no defense for it.

I doubt women are refusing to react to an amputation because they don't want to be embarrassed.
Actually in general I can't say I know what you mean by this point. You say pain is not taken seriously in women, but isn't the opposite true? Men have an inbuilt instinct to protect women and I've only ever observed them being especially sensitive to women who are in pain (bordering on coddling)

1) the impact of trauma
2) the recovery from trauma

The fact remains: The gender data gap is a real problem. It's an inconvenience at best (in the case of exercise machines), and a detriment to women's lives at worst (in the case of cars, construction worker's material, police vests, etc). Whether or not you choose to look at data, and whatever painful excuses you come up with, this is reality, and it's backward.

They just want women to stop talking about issues that affect us in the world, because it
triggers them to think that we exist, the universe can't realistically revolve around men's interests and that society isn't as equal as they delude themselves into thinking.
The first tactic is to deny everything. When that doesn't work (especially when science contradicts their denial), they accuse us of making it all up and having mass hysteria, or they say all peer-reviewed data is somehow fake and wrong to push an agenda, often with absolutely no reliable data of their own to back up those claims. When that fails, the last thing is "Why don't YOU make it yourself, then?!". If they're not even trying to pretend they're arguing in good faith anymore, they'll finally resort to "Well, then women just shouldn't drive, exercise, work, go to the hospital, get injured or get pregnant" and show who they really are.

I intend to stop posting about her after this, I just don't want to adopt a moniker like 'momchan' because all I ever vent about is my narcissist mom. I just have no one that cares–last night proved it–and the only person that cares about my emotions (or at least pretends to) is my stepdad. The person my mom constantly tries to assassinate in front of me and to others because of how he hurt her.
Sorry if this is all over the place.
My stepdad cheated on my mom, confessed it to me first, but I later told her out of pity (but also because before that she theorized me and stepdad were consorting against her because he'd comfort me in the past whenever she'd fight me and I knew keeping that secret would be affirmation to her victimhood). She kicked him out of their house, but he's still paying the bills.
If the story sounds familiar, it's because I already vented about this part.
I've never had a good relationship with my mom due to her narcissism. Despite my initial sympathy, I realize that she was not a perfect victim. I made myself available to listen at first, but all she ever does is shit talk about my stepdad. Despite how wrong my stepdad is for cheating, I still care. This is a man who loved me unconditionally when my biological father mistreated and abandoned me when I was little. Not everything she is saying is true, and she only says some things because of the rejection she feels. Truth be told he treats me more respectfully than her–as in, he actually listens to me and talks to me like a human being. If he didn't call me twice a week nobody would care about my feelings right now. Only two people in my entire family have said shit to me since this happened. So hearing what she says hurts. I took her to a marital therapist last week, and the therapist even told her to stop putting me in the middle of her divorce. The first thing she did as I drove her home? Ranted to me about stepdad again.
Even a month now after it happened she demonizes me for wanting to talk about my feelings for once. She reverses victim and acts like I'm selfish for wanting to talk about my feelings, or even how this third divorce of hers affects me. It's worse yet if I call out her shitty behavior towards me, and how I won't accept "emotional woman" as an excuse for how she treats me. She gets hostile and vile towards me.
I'm called selfish for trying to talk to her and wanting her to listen (not criticize me under the guise of 'advice' like usual), and she's blatantly said she can't and will not listen to me because her burdens are soooo much greater than mine.
She lambasts me and tries to guilt trip me for not caring enough bout her feelings, however. She argues in a circle no matter how many times I try to reason and redirect her hysteria back to the original point. I opened up my vulnerabilities and insecurities to her the other night (I had asked for a hug), and all that did was give her a roadmap to hurt me and throw them in my face when she belittled me with them the next day.
She never apologizes.
Her attitude is all because she expects me to be at her beck and call now because she's divorcing. Fine, I've tried to do nice things for her. It's never enough though. And when I want reciprocation she doesn't give a fuck. It's all about her, as if she's the only person hurting. And if I try to direct the narrative about anything else she accuses me of being selfish and self-centered again.
It's sick. I can't trust her. Our relationship has never been improved no matter how much blame I've taken nor how much I've tried to appease her.
She takes out her hurt feelings on me and projects all of her bullshit onto me.
I work 7am-5pm most days. She's retired. She stays up late and has a fucked sleep schedule.
She accused me of sleeping until noon. How?
I try to go out with my friends and have fun so I'm not stuck at the house all day when I'm not working. She doesn't leave the house except for food and cigarettes. She says I'm depressed and I don't do anything with myself. How??
I know how. Projection. Because all she's done is sleep all day and feel sorry for herself.
Notice how these are backhanded to imply I'm lazy and she's not been. Trolling irl.
She originally wanted me to help her refinance the house mortgage so she could keep it. At first she used flowery language like the house was ours and it was my house too now. Also This house will be yours when I'm gone. Yet the second she's upset by something I said or did, she reverts and says THIS IS MY GODDAMN HOUSE and I'M GONNA SELL THE FUCKER!
The latter being the truths. When the cards are on the table it's still all about her and I'm just a piece of dog shit.
-
Last night was awful. I mean she'd been arguing with me a lot lately over insane and petty things. Yesterday she got into another nonsensical argument with me because I took a tone to something rude she did to me. It developed into her being hysterical because she didn't like my tone.
Remember: She's allowed to be an uncontrollably emotional woman; I can't even have a hint of annoyance in my voice without getting policed.
But the point is, because of the fight she had with me the day before, she had been giving me the silent treatment.
When I got home from work today, I went straight to my room. I expected her to ignore me and give me death glares like she had been doing. So she did when I did see her.
I could hear my mom calling people on her cell phone from outside (she talks really loudly and it echoes into my windows). She actually had the audacity to call my stepdad's own sister and try to get her to choose her side. It sounds juvenile, because it is. Yet she's an incredibly effective manipulator. She was ranting to my aunt about me as well and telling more lies about me to make me sound depressed and useless. It hurt a lot. If I were depressed for any reason right now, it's because of my mom being horrible to me.
And one thing my family hasn't done: Ask me if I'm okay.
They all just hear secondhand from her and assume she's winning the suffering Olympics. Nobody else has ever suffered so much than my mom has, even though she's partly to blame for choosing the men she has and neglecting her relationships in the way she's done.
What did I do?
Next thing I knew I got a phone call from my stepdad. Mom was texting him. They'd been trying to get together tomorrow to talk about the divorce.
Stepdad was meeting her; due more to financial questions. My mom wanted to meet to ask if they wanted to get back together (which is ironic considering how gun-ho she was about kicking him out and divorcing him). Stepdad had seen the therapist, and changed his mind and didn't want to meet with her. Mom texted him stipulations of getting back together such as the ability to search his phone whenever and to take her with him on his business trips.
And you know what? My stepdad is right. She should've went steady as planned on the divorce thing because if she can't trust her partner that much then the relationship is already fucked beyond repair regardless.
I know what it's like to be her prisoner and it's not healthy.
I guess he had texted her about his golf clubs, and she got extremely pissed off that he was trying to text her about "fun" stuff. So she started asking pointed questions about their relationship status, instead of waiting until the next day to talk like she had said, and my stepdad finally said fuck it.
Anyway, his "rejection" (I put that in quotes because in reality he just agreed to go along with what she originally said she was gonna do) absolutely destroyed her.
My mom became unhinged. I had been talking to dad on the phone when he interrupted me to say mom was trying to call him. Once again, she reamed his ass out and he made his final choice. I could hear it in my room.
When she was done I exited my room expecting her to speak and unload on me as she's done so many times before. Instead she gave me a stink face and ignored me until I asked her about that conversation she just had as well as the previous one. I told her how I had heard the things she said about me and how it hurt my feelings.
She accused me of eavesdropping.
Reversed victim, and then her woe is her went through the roof. She told me maybe it was too toxic, that she couldn't 'help' me, and that I should consider leaving. She went on and on about her nightmare situation and implied I was too stupid to have noticed.
Then she accused me of "needling" and "torturing" her because I asked her questions on why she was treating me like that. I didn't back down, I wanted answers.
It made her extremely angry because I wasn't giving her control. She got so furious that she started to screech through her anger until she started to wail. I didn't respond to that energy and kept calm, looking at her, and it just made her more incensed that I wasn't being persuaded by this behavior like usual. She probably thought I was being patronizing, but I couldn't help but find her so unreasonable and ridiculous. It kept escalating, and escalating, and escalating. She was going insane before my eyes.
She screamed at me to get the fuck out of her sight.
So I did, I told her I'd go back into my room now.
As I went back into my room she got on the phone with my aunt while she wailed and hollered. My aunt came over, and they pow wowed about my dad's rejection and what an asshole he was. It surprised me because the reason why she was so upset was because of me, and not what my dad had said. I guess mom just wanted someone to tell her how she was so right about how she was handling stuff. I wasn't going to be that person because I know who she is.
I didn't want to sit in my room the entire night so I went out to the dining room table with my phone. I wanted someone to notice and talk to me. They kept up their shit talk, and my mom kept narrating what a victim she'd been. Showing off texts, but not mentioning the things she had said on call or irl that would've put the texts into context.
My aunt didn't acknowledge me at all.
I was like a ghost.
What was disturbing is that as they talked my mom went from a crying mess to be oddly…confident? Almost smug. The shit talking wasn't stopping, and it's not like I wouldn't have heard this from my room either.
Within 30 minutes my mom was back to normal. In fact so normal she was back to bitching about her phone messing up and so they were focusing on that. Also researching stores open to go get cigarettes.
My aunt became her flying monkey, which isn't really her fault considering she only knew my mom's narrative.
When it got so unbearable I interjected, because up until that point they treated me like I wasn't in the room. When I said something they both looked at me like Who the fuck are you?
I wasn't getting anywhere, I tried to bring up how I was hurting again but this night–as all the others–were to be about my mom.
They didn't pity me, and I didn't pity her.
I told her to stop putting on a show for my aunt.
She reached to touch me, but I backed away. She was aggressive. Who was she to lay hands on me when earlier she'd told me to fuck off?
Actually, I realized my aunt being there was an advantage because it meant a lull in the abuse. My mom was going to pretend to take the higher road around my aunt for her image's sake. After all, she had a story to spin about how her daughter has never given a shit.
I went to my room to start packing my things after reflecting on my mom's tirade earlier before my aunt came that I should "leave."
As I was packing, my aunt came into my room.
>Your mom loves you! Your mom needs you!
I needed my mom. Where was she for me?
I've been here for her for over a month, when could it be my turn?
If she loves me, then why can't she listen to me and why is she allowed to say horrible things about me? If she loves me then why can't I trust her with my emotions without fear that she'll use them against me later?
No, she doesn't love me. All of these issues were present before my dad cheated and amplified times ten now that she feels victimized.
In the background I could hear mom: See what I deal with? This is how I'm treated!
My mom was getting her supply of duping delight. See aunty, look at what a self-centered daughter she has for not sticking around to endure more emotional incest, neglect, and verbal abuse.
My aunt called my stepdad from her phone. They thought it was his fault I was leaving and they wanted to use him to guilt me into not leaving. I knew they'd blame him, and not her. I told my dad what I was doing and that he shouldn't blame himself. I hung up.
I retrieved my birth certificate and vaccination papers.
They asked me if I had a plan. I said no.
They scoffed at me, but eventually both of them left me alone as I packed to go back to complaining about mom's phone and their cigarettes.
It was very early in the morning and I realized I couldn't pack it all in one night. I locked my door so that when my aunt left my mom couldn't come barging in and confronting me as I suspected she'd do. One thing I love about the house compared to my childhood house? I have a door that locks.
I was right. When my aunt left my mom knocked on my door and turned the knob wanting to "talk." I told her I wasn't opening it and she could talk to me through the door.
But it's not comfortable for me and I'm tired! she barked. Well, it was comfortable for me. Although I don't know how talking through a door makes someone "tired." What's the matter mom, can't manipulate when there's a physical barrier?
She attempted to talk me down from leaving but I told her it was my choice. She asked me if I'd tell her where I'm going and I said no, I would not be telling her.
Well at least stay until you have a plan!
I could agree on that but my stuff is remaining packed to take to my storage unit.
She can't fool me. She'll never change. She'll act normal for a bit to lure me back into complacency and abuse me once I've let my guard down. The cycle will constantly repeat and continue until I go no contact, and I'm sure she'll poison the rest of the family and use the divorce to paint how I was corrupted into despising her by my dad. Not that this was a long time coming.
She's still peeved I haven't unlocked my door and this morning she wanted to talk to me about her phone. She insisted I needed to let her in to talk about whatever is going on with her phone. I told her no. She left, because the her goal is to get to me.
I won't ever forget what she's done. I won't ever trust her again.

>>421513Oh anon, I wish I could give you a hug right now.
I mean it in the nicest way possible, but maybe try going to the gym! You might make gym buddies the exercise might be good for your depression, and if you really want, it'll help you lose weight if you're so distressed about the weight gain.
If not the gym, why not school clubs? I recommended it to another anon on the stupid questions thread. I met some of my best friends through joining a school club- you might be hesitant to go alone, but people are usually really nice to new people because they always want more people to keep the club alive!
My last suggestion would probably be a dog park. Maybe make some friends for yourself and your dog! Go outside and enjoy it! Of course, this depends on your dog (mine is a little demon so we don't take her to the dog park lol).
I really hope you go to that concert anon. I know going alone to concerts sucks, I went alone to see my favorite group because none of my friends like them, but I still had an amazing time because when they started playing, all that mattered was that I was there watching them. When they came back, none of my friends wanted to go with me again, but fuck it! That night is about me enjoying my favorite group! What's the worst that can happen if you go alone anon (besides some possible heat stroke)? Maybe you'll make a new friend who also likes that band, but if not, you'll still have seen your favorite band!
Best of luck anon, and happy birthday!

I am simply at loss as to why my coach of over 5 years has disliked me Being nice clearly has no effect and neither does the passage of time it effects me in a pratical sense as she is my " coach" who would prefer to ignore me or let me carry on using a bad tecnquie or posture so she can have minimum interaction. I feel like it is going to build up to the point, where I am gonna say ' Bitch what IS your problem' ( Paraphrasing) I am involved in an unusual sport, been going there at least once a week for the past FIVE years. She is one of the main coaches,
After each session a group Between 6-10 of us usually meet in a pub afterwards. I have been FB friended and included by all the members, we all get on fine. But this coach is the ONLY person that has declined by FB request after I tried adding her about a year since we met. Then again about a year ago, so fine, she declined my request twice , not ignored declined.
I would always chat and be nice to her, without getting anything back, I simply found her to much hard work to have a conversation with, there was NO friendship chemistry, but I have always been polite. Her attitude annoys me as I am paying her 20 per her to be ignored, other coaches have come over to correct things she should have taught me. She barelys utters a word to me. it is an expensive niche sport, the other coaches and the other people are friendly.
When her mum was ill, I asked her how her mum was, when my mum was seriously ill she never asked me once. About 2 years ago I was in ICU in a coma for a short while and took some time off,she did not even ask me how I was. She is not someone that is painfully shy ( she is a supply high school teacher group).
Neither of us drive. We have an important competition coming up and if we win, we will be going to Italy. so naturally people are working harder and extra sessions have been put on. Last week I overheard this team mate I am friendly with saying to her that he will give her a lift. ( This man never uses FB, his last post was a Happy xmas post) I messaged him and got no response. I messaged her and asked her if she could please pass on a message and give the guy my number as I want to fit more practice in and they would literally need to drive past my house. Her response was a blunt ' I think you need to ask him yourself, Regards ' I messaged back straight away saying I have tried and he is probably busy in work given the nature of his job. As you will be in contact with him, can you let him know I would really appreciate it, if I could catch a lift and I will have my kit ready so I can jump right in. please let me know if manage to get hold of him If for whatever reason you can't I can see who else is heading in that direction. hopefully I will see you later. She read it and did not reply. That pissed me off. I have ALWAYS been polite and pleasant she has 0 reason to be so rude and akward.when we are so close to winning a big tournament I explained I could not get hold of the guy ( with the car) and as he was contacting her later, would she mind passing on a message. a " I think you need to speak to him yourself' I felt like screaming ' Bitch, do you honestly think I have not tried that? how hard is it for you to say ' by the way X asked if she could tag along as we are passing her house and she feels as if she needs more practice doing x" Even if we were not doing a competition. I find it odd that the COACH ( coaches are not allowed to compete, just well coach) is being so unfriendly to the point of hinderance and making things akward,
I have never said a bad word about her, been rude, give her attitude, the other coaches get on well with me and YES I am FB friends with ALL of them.
she has no personality to engage in. I am naturally pleasant and friendly to be around, BUT, I also have the awareness to know when people do not want to be bothered. ( I did workshops in Autism and mental health etc) So it is not like I am this loud screeching extovert.
To be frank she is Boring. IDC if she finds me boring. What I DO care about, is that due to her being an oddball, I have cancelled plans with friends and sat at home when I should be out practicing some moves, or spending time with my friends. All she had to do is say ' Sure I will ask him " They are driving past my house FFS on several occasionas I have waited outside by garden and jumped in with my kit. I know him quite well and I very much doubt his response would have been ' F her she can make her own way' This ' Coach' pulled a similar stunt before, but that involved going out for a Chinese meal, where she ' Forgot' to invite me.
When I was ill a couple years back I was in a coma and took some time off, they announced it on the groups main FB page and people asked me how I was etc. She said nothing. IMO, you need to be pretty cold hearted not to ask someone who was in a coma and in hospital for months ' how they are'. her not being my fb friend is a nuisance as well for practical reasons idc what exciting plans her and cats have. I know that sounds bitchy, but I have been aiming towards this goal since a qualified for it and every session counts. it is a group activity. She is one of the coaches she should WANT me to do well, for the sake of the TEAM. As soon as that competition has finished I have decided to be distant, when she sees me laughing and joking with the others, I am not going to look up say hello, smile and move so she can join us. She can say ' Excuse me' I am not including her in any conversation. She can learn to take cue and join in or she can stay mute or speak to the others over me. I am not going to nod for her to join us, because she sure as fuck did not make me feel welcome, when I first joined and I knew NO ONE there. I had to learn everyone names from scratch and let the relationship grow to the point we can sit in the pub and have a laugh and make jokes. I have never heard her crack a joke, or say anything funny. intelligent yes. She is an supply teacher and trained coach, so it is not as if she suffers from crippling anxiety. The loudest people in the group are men. I have a boyfriend, every single man in the group is either married or in a serious relationship. I have a boyfriend. she has been aloof and cold to me for 5 years. I think Tonight has been the last straw. if she mentioned it to him he would have picked me up as we are in the SAME TEAM. we are representing our Country we all like each other and want each other to do well. he would have drove past house with the ' coach' beside him and 2 empty back seats. The Chinese dinner ' may' have been an accident. but tonight NO Fucking WAY.
Truth be told. I don't think we will make it. maybe she knows deep down we are not good enough either, but a coach and high school teacher should know that exluding people and people aloof and standoffish and not even asking ' hey x how is your health' we meet in a social context pratically everyweek for over 5 years. HOW TF, can you STILL be so cold and aloof. I just don't get it.
No. 422154
>>422129im same fagging as my thread is all over the place.
I don't understand why my coach of 5 years is so cold, aloof and rude towards me.
We are aiming for a huge competition, so every session counts. I told her I could not get hold of the person that is driving to the extra session put om tonight and as she is going and they will have to get to my house to get there, can I tag along, will have kit ready and hop in the back ( I have dont this a few times)
Her terse reply was ' I think you should ask him yourself'
I repeated again, I could noy get hold of him and can she please mention it, as I need more practice doing x
she reads but does not respond.
My situation with her is getting to the point I am feel like as soon as the comp is over I will say something. She has done other shitty things.
I have always been nice, friendly and pleasent , asked her about her mum etc.
She does not recipiate , IDC at this point, so carried on being nice to her.
When my mum was very poorly, she never ever asked me about her.
I was in the ICU and in a coma, spent ages in hospital, took ages for me to get well again. - she never once asked how I was.
she remained her cold self. I suddenly remembered she ' forgot' to invite me to a chinese meal. She has also declined my friend rquest twice, noy ignored declined. she accepted other people including those that joined the group years after me. I have been speaking to her every week sometimes twice for near 5 years.
I get on great with everyone else, they have FB ed me and are friendly towards me. The men are married, I am in a relationship so it is not about that and she is mid 50's. lives at home with her cat and mum.
I used to be confused as to why she was like that, but after tonight I think fuck her. I have always been nice, pleasent, etc.
As soon as this comp us over, there are gonna be some changes.
when we are in the pub, we sometimes have to split up into small groups or 2 groups. I am usually with one group laughing and joking with some people. I am NO LONGER, inviting her over, or giving her a nod or pulling up a stool, or getting her involved in the convo/ she can sit there MUTE or she can get herse;f involved, she is old enough to be my mother.
She is a supply teacher and occasionally does work in front of camera for a small TV station. She is NOT shy.
I have never said a bad word about her as there is nothing there and it is tiring at times to have a convo, so I mostly only speak if she speaks fiirst which is rarely and direct closed questions only.
I get that people like to listern as oppose to join in, and at times people do not mesh, but we are all adults. Both work in professions where we need to chat to people. She is excluding me and making me feel unwelcome on purpose.
I am fed up of making an effort, or giving a lots of space when the results are he same, she only speaks to me if she has to.
and what is with her accepting everyone FB apart from mine. it is not the social aspect, It is about her not being pratical, Today or last night if she logged into FB messenger, I could have my answer sooner.
Even if you dislike someone for whatever silly reason, if that person REMAINS being nice to you, it is rude to not ask after a persons health if they have been in the ICU and a coma. Also I always asked about her mum. she never once asked about mine, when my mum was sick.
Since i found out a qualified I have been working hard. she being one of the coaches should WANT all of us to succeed as a Team, as she is he Coach, she knows my weaknesss and strengths. The entire point of the extra sessions is because if we win we get to go abroad.
As soon as this is over, I am not going to speak to her. lets see how she likes one word closed responses with no eye contact.

(at least that's what my gyno said). i don't have periods anymore and i would say i'm less hairy than i was before. still definitely have patches on my tummy and back though.
i have pcos and endo though and the endo was what ended up getting me put on blockers (had surgery earlier this year to get rid of some endo and trying to stop it growing back). just ask if it's an option for you.
it gets me down a lot too though since i know they're literally tranny pills.. but it's to stop the pain so ohwell.

She seemed soft spoken and very self conscious of herself, but her voice was very influential and effective at getting people to listen to her and take her seriously even when she didn't intend it.

Is it stupid for me to be weirded out that my friend got a nose job to look like my (natural) nose?
She told me after she got it that she showed the doctor a picture of my nose and told him to make hers look like it. I didn't know before. Her nose still has bandages on it so I can't tell what it looks like but I'm vaguely creeped out. She copies me a lot in general and I feel like she's basically skin walking me and trying to become me.
Honestly my nose is not that great, I like it fine but there are better nose shapes out there. It looks like pic related but a bit bigger. If it did turn out exactly like mine, it will not look good on her because she has a long face and different bone structure

I'm a recent college graduate and I hold classes in foreign language. It's not an uni/school class, more like a hobby class for local community, and people around my age attend it. It's not a professional environment with a strict dress code either.
Today was extremely hot outside, coupled with humidity it felt like it was impossible to breathe. As my other light stuff was currently put to wash or already waiting to be washed, I put on shorts like pic related without much thinking. A lot of girls/women here wear shorts and skirts during weather like this, I just didn't think too much about it.
So after class I got an email from one of the males in my class saying "Those shorts look hot on you." and now I feel disgusted. Disgusted at myself and feeling guilty thinking I looked like a slut, disgusted at him for telling me that. My aik wasn't to appear sexy, I just wanted to wear something that won't make me go uncomfortable from all the heat.
I don't know why this bothers me so much, to the point I feel so ashamed and embarrassed of myself.

>>422389WTF anon, wearing shorts in that situation is normal! You shouldn't feel ashamed at yourself, only disgusted at him. That guy has serious cro-magnon brain sending a stupid gross email like that out of nowhere. The guy is most likely somewhat retarded. Seriously, decently intelligent and empathetic men with normal moral standards and a sense of propriety at least find a more subtle and polite way to let women know they're interested if they really like their legs or whatever. In my experience of what guys speak to me respectfully and what guys act explicitly rude just because I wear something tight or show my legs, only absolute troglodytes do the type of shit that guy did. It's 100% his fault.
Hell, I'm a graduate student and our clothing is generally more formal than most undergraduates', and still when it gets sweltering out many of my peers wear tank tops and shorts. Nothing wrong with not boiling to death, as overheating draws attention away from classwork as well.

I am so extremely lucky I met my boyfriend or I would have thought good men didn't exist. I can still be vulnerable about him too. I've even told him I've had fears about being hurt in a relationship and such, he is the same way, and we're helping each other work through it.

>99.999999999% are only ever submissive in bedThis is always disappointing. I've read online a lot of guys who lose their desire to be submissive when they cum, and then try to manipulate their gfs to put them in chastity, deny/ruin their orgasms, while teasing them all day to make sure they stay "submissive." The focus is still always on their pleasure and not on serving. The woman has to put in all this fucking work to get him to comply with the smallest of requests, while she gets almost nothing out of it. It's such a gross and sleazy way to be and I feel annoyed just thinking about it.
To be a somewhat positive, I am really glad my boyfriend doesn't fit this stereotype at all. He didn't even know he was submissive until we got to know each other very well and I brought it up. He doesn't act it at all. I have really specific tastes and wanted to let him know before we did anything so he could escape and he jokingly said "but serving the person I love sounds like the best thing ever, why would I want to escape?" My heart melted and I knew he was the one for me.
I think maybe, rather than looking for someone who is labels themselves submissive, it might be better to become friends normally, build a relationship from there, and see how people react to your preferences… It doesn't have a 100% success rate but I think there are more guys open to it than we think
>>422528I wouldn't doubt this happens, and this kind of ties into what I said above. I think the "undercover" submissive guys end up being better partners in the long run, which makes sense. Guys who label themselves such and proclaim it are more likely to be promiscuous and just in it to get off

>>422533Guys who label themselves such and proclaim it are more likely to be promiscuous and just in it to get off
I agree with that 100%. Submissive men end up being thots a lot, especially the bi ones. The "undercover" thing can be seen in all walks of life anyways. I don't have the source but I recall that a lot of people claim a higher iq than reality and the people who find iq to be bs or report theirs around the average are usually smarter than the people who claim to be above average. Actually, I just remembered a kind of funny story. A girl I was friends with dated a guy who would constantly talk about how dom he was as if it were his entire life. Then one day she finds out he was cheating on her with guys and he was the one bottoming, getting fucked in the ass and sucking dick.

>>422536They are rare, I won't lie. You are right, a lot of them end up being manipulative if they think it'll lead to them getting off. It's very hard and time-consuming to vet people and usually not worth it. I was on fetlife for a year (I know, but I didn't know anywhere else to look), and I had probably talked to almost 100 guys online, almost all of them tried to extort nudes and talk overly sexual within a few days. I went on dates with 2 of them who seemed ok online, before I realized they were also promiscuous and gross and didn't get involved with them beyond that. Those numbers crushed me and I almost gave up.
One of them who I thought was decent became my boyfriend for a year, until I learned he was just only sexually submissive and didn't want the same things as me. He would often throw a tantrum when I made a normal decision, like what movie to watch, where to eat, even if I asked his opinion he would get passive aggressive because I didn't always choose what HE wanted. He was also a shitty submissive sexually because whenever I tried to teach him how I liked to be touched or pleased, his ego would get shattered and he would get mad at me. The kicker was at the end of our relationship he told me he wanted to dom guys, despite us both agreeing in the beginning that we value monogamy. God I'm glad I got out of there. You almost turned me gay too, bud.
On the other hand my current boyfriend was my best friend for almost 6 years. Funnily enough we had crushes on each other forever, but I never made a move because I didn't realize we were compatible in that way especially because he was the gruff kind of guy who you would think is sexually dominant. He didn't make a move because he didn't want to make me uncomfortable (he's an angel). It took me 6 years, I can't imagine putting it that kind of commitment if it isn't natural. Makes me wonder how many other guys who don't seem it are actually submissive, but don't even know it, or are hiding it.
>>422541You are right, the people who are loud about anything in general are the worst. That is a really crazy story though, people like that are just complete degenerates. I never trust anyone who plays up how dom or sub they are, man or woman. If they make it their sexuality their identity rather than how they prefer their relationship to be, they're likely promiscuous and also batshit insane.
Also I'm glad you guys brought all this up because I've never been able to sperg about how annoying this whole sub guy situation is.

I feel like I'm attracted to codependent, unhealthy relationships, and I can't figure out why. I even seek out media that features things like that because I can relate to the feelings in some of them. I thought it was just an angsty phase that'd pass with my teens, but I'm still like this.
I've walked out of an unhealthy, emotionally damaging relationship, just to walk into another one. This one is better, but I still see some of the signs. I talk a lot about wanting to be "healthy" and "get better", but it seems like I'm just perversely drawn to dysfunction. If I don't think someone is messed up in specific ways, I feel like I'm just an alien to them and a foreigner in their space. I have to keep up pretenses, disguise myself as a normal, well-functioning person and translate all my thoughts or feelings into their language. It gets tiring.
It's like things don't feel complete if both of us aren't at least a little bit crazy. Either we have to get better together, or we have to get worse together. My brain won't let me realistically imagine any other type of scenario. It sucks.

My boyfriend's so thin and has this perfect, delicate body, while I'm a fucking flabby piece of shit. I'm not even fat weight-wise (less than 120lbs and literally bony in some areas), it's just that my body carries all its weight badly, probably because I was fat as a child and lost weight later on. It's like I was just cursed to be badly built from the start.

>Have a friend I've met about a year ago. I'm in my mid-20s while she just entered her 30s.- I was in a new city and hardly knew anybody. We clicked well, have lots of mutual interests and topics to talk about. I'm happy that I'm not lonely.
>First weird thing I notice is whenever we talk to a mutual male colleague/friend, she talks over me and and it feels like she's trying to make herself appear as better than me in everything. When it happened first, I thought she had a crush on the guy and saw me as competition, so I backed out since I had no interest in the guy (neither he has shown interest in me). Make sure she knows that, ask her if she likes him - she vehemently denies it, even starts shittalking him.
>Notice it happens with other mutual male colleagues, friends etc. If both of us are talking to a guy, she tries to lowkey talk me down, while bragging about herself etc, flirts with them but it never goes anywhere etc…
>Some time passes, she applies for a doctorate scholarship in a foreign country. I support her all the way, try to give her courage. She almost gets it, gets rejected in the very last stage but has very good chances to get it if she re-applies next year, since there is not a big competition for it. Again, I comfort her, give her support etc.
>Meanwhile I've been planning to apply for a different scholarship. Told her about it before, she didn't have interest in it. Start planning it more seriously and tell her about my plans - she doesn't support me at all and instead starts talking about how she's thinking about applying and how she has more chances than even though the scholarship is way harder to get and it's not her "dream" scholarship (the one she still has good chances for) either.
>This is the part where I end up being a dumb naive idiot. Basically she constantly brags how much she loves the job she does. Meanwhile there is a job opening for a job in an industry that I'd really like to be part of. Again talk to her about, she says she'd wouldn't really want working there etc. I apply for the job, send my CV, get scheduled for an interview. Tell her about it, she seems chill about it but slowly each day starts asking me - first about which CV template do I use, then how do I prepare for interview and what I'm gonna say, on which day do I have the interview etc. Being the naive idiot, I tell her all about it.
>Lo and behold, one week later she informs me how she applied to the same job because she suddenly realized that it might benefit her. She also managed to schedule the interview one day before me because she's apparently super busy the other days. Can't say shit because hey, it's an open job position and she has every right to apply to it.

Context: Me and a close friend have (or had, now) mutual feelings for each other for a while, but both agree to not make it "official" until we sort out some stuff in our lives, which would take a while. I guess we had a honeymoon phase for a few months, but the talking slowed since we got busy with other stuff.
It wasn't until recently that I found out that not only did he have a fuck buddy, but she moved in with him after only a month of dating. So now I barely slept because I was super upset of having my trust with him shattered. He was very supportive person and even offered to pay for some stuff that I needed.
From a mutual friend, his then explanation for getting a fuck-buddy? "Well, it seems like like she was losing interest, sooooo…." In the past, he would tell me his worries if I was losing interest in him, and I always reassured him that my feelings for him hasn't wavered, but he knows I'm a generally quiet person.
I guess I've been "too slow" for him to finish getting my shit sorted, so he dumped all what we had built up to get his dick wet. Thanks. Very nice. It's appreciated.

You wouldn't want the men these girls are dating, they're always the bottom feeders and threatened by a woman succeeding them in whatever field.
Case in point, I have a guy friend who only seems to date low IQ girls with depression and zero life management skills because he very blatantly enjoys being the more intelligent and successful one in the relationship. Other men have a savior complex and constantly want to feel like they're needed, and other men just simply couldn't get anything better.

I started a tiny little business, mostly for my own enjoyment as it's an activity I love. For the first 2 days, I had no success with it at all. I compared it to my boyfriend's struggle with his own business, saying we were in the same boat. (This was later a huge mistake)
Suddenly, I got a client. It was a tiny, tiny success, but a success nonetheless. I happily told my boyfriend the success I had and even showed him what I did for the client.
He said he was happy for me, but I could tell he was upset. He said he was a failure, his business was a failure. He basically turned my happy success into a nightmare about how much of a failure he is.
I started feeling like shit but I reassured him over and over that he's not a failure at all.
He then gets angry at me, says I don't care about his feelings, that I make everything about myself, etc. He switched between blaming me and blaming himself and in the end just seemed to blame me entirely.
We resolved it by the end of last night. I told him I would continue to share my success with him.
But… I'm scared. I feel like he's unpredictable in how he'll react to things. If my business booms and his shit is still at rock bottom, I'm afraid he'd grow terribly jealous. If I say one little thing wrong, he blows up at me.
I love this man to death, but I've posted about him at least 4 times at this point. It feels like our relationship is a mess and it's all my fault.
It feels like it's all my fault for having a tiny sliver of success.
Even though we made up, it still bothers me. I can't vocalize this to him because he'll just get upset at me again. He even told me today that it feels like we're growing distant.

I was walking down to the grocery store completely immersed in my thoughts when, all of a sudden, I felt a huge slap on my ass. I was completely startled and then I felt another strong slap few seconds later on the same spot.
It turned out to be some cyclists who thought they were funny. I felt completely humiliated. But what made it worse is that the group of cyclists, there were like ten of them maybe, found it hilarious and started laughing and even tried to do the same so I went as farther as I could from the curb into the bushes.
I wasn't dressed provocatively, not that it would excuse their behavior, and I was just minding my own business, why did they do that? I felt like crying, I felt impotent rage. It happened yesterday and they probably forgot about it while I still feel like shit, I feel like a can you kick on the road for amusement, a pushover. It took me back to not so distant high school days when I was bullied. I feel worthless and it's stupid that I feel like it over something so not important but I do.

Rant about bf's parents. We live about 2 hours away in our own place and usually spend time with his parents on the weekends. His parents are both blue-collar, in their mid fifties, nice people but definitely have some issues. When I first moved in with my bf 2 years ago, his parents had just started drinking again after being completely abstinent from alcohol for 5 years. Since they started, it's been a slow crawl to alcohol misuse and abuse. About 7 months ago, his mom fell in the shower while drunk and trying to clean the walls. She was standing on top of a cooler and slipped, breaking her arm. Then she got opioids and started mixing alcohol and painkillers. Her husband was away for work so my bf and I had to take care of her. I felt very uncomfortable knowing she was mixing painkillers and alcohol but felt it wasn't my place to say anything, so I encouraged my bf to but he wouldn't.
Anyway, the parents stopped drinking for a month but now they are in full force again. Last night they called us at 9pm screaming, fighting, crying, and apparently, very drunk. According to my bf's sister, their mother has gotten so drunk recently that she passed out and pissed herself. I am taking them on a trip later this summer to see my family and I am really concerned that they are going to act out. My family is very uptight and it was uncomfortable for me to even ask to bring them with me when we visit. It's putting me in a bad position because I don't want to overstep my boundaries or offend anyone, but I absolutely cannot stand chaos or dysfunction.
I also know it is hard for my bf, so I am trying not to nag him over it. I saw my mom VERY briefly hit a rough spot, and it was absolutely horrible. He says he "doesn't care" because it's their own choice to drink but I can tell it affects him.
I just don't know what to do.

I've come to accept that I'm probably just a full on lesbian (instead of bisexual like I've always thought) and butch lesbians are definitely my type but it sucks that I can't just explore more relationships with women more without running into fucking enbies everywhere and then complicating a relationship more than it should (e.g. dating them while being explicit that my interest is only in women brings up so many fucking gender issues that I just don't want to fucking deal with).

I'm tired of hearing about gay men. If you go to YouTube there's like 10 new big ole gay men coming out like it's supposed to be a surprise even though they've looked like an absolute faggot for years already. Dan from Dan and Phil always looked like a ladyboy and of course the effeminate Asian guy from the Try Hards is gay. Now he's made 3 videos about how GAY he is. It wouldn't bother me so much if 99% of gay men weren't misogynistic. I'm tired of hearing how sex crazed and degenerate they are.

Fuck everything I'm so pissed off. I've been assaulted and in abusive relationships so many times, after therapy and feeling frustrated with how widespread sexual violence is, I went to a rape crisis center to volunteer on their crisis line. Go through training, learn all about rape myths, then go and have empowering conversations with fellow survivors.
Get raped again. Go to the hospital and the nurse doubts how serious I am (I was pretty confused about what had happened, still in shock) so I end up not getting a rape kit.
Year later, get raped again. Go to the hospital and DEMAND a rape kit (evidence kit, whatever), get it (fucking awful btw), and then go to the police full aware they'll probably be shitty.
My investigator tells me it's my fault, I should have fought back, I did x y and z wrong, it's he said she said, she would have done things differently if she were in my position jesus fuuuucking christ. So now I've complained to a police review board and am waiting on that.
Moved to a location where funding was actually going towards sexual assault survivors. Arrive in town and it's a one year waiting list to see a counsellor fuck sakes.
Found services for recent cases and see a social worker. Of course she's telling me that nothing is unique about my case. I know this is to make me feel less lonely and ashamed but when I ask her how I can get justice, she tells me it's a matter of keeping the conversation regarding sexual violence going.
Fuck everything, I'm tempted to make a youtube channel for survivors. What to do immediately after assault, short and long term effects of assault, challenging rape myths, maybe documenting my experiences with ptsd. I was so tempted to turn on the camera right after being assaulted because I'm so tempted to document all of the bullshit that a survivor has to go through, I want to fucking scream from the rooftops and tear the justice system a new asshole.
I want that investigator's job.
"Keeping the conversation going" is not the justice I want, but it's likely all I'll ever get.
That I'm not alone in this is no comfort. I wish I could start a protest where everyone with a kit collecting dust goes to their local police station and pesters them for info about their case. Or every survivor goes to report on one day lol I know it's not realistic, not everyone is safe enough to report (and secondary victimization by the people supposed to protect you is no joke) but part of me wants the justice system to just be so fucking overloaded by people demanding something gets done that (gasp) something gets fucking done.

It's always a group of women with a token gay guy or two. When women feel threatened by other girls they become 'one of the guys' and hang out with straight men who give them attention for having a vagina. The straight part is essential because that special treatment makes them think guys are easy to get along with while girls are ~catty bitches~.

What you need is another therapist friend just like you, who has overinvested in the same people and been burned for it. You need someone who matches your same level of selfless care. Someone who can give you more hope for people, and feel validated as a human being.
Your social worth is being drained on other people and it's preventing you from standing up for yourself, it's stopping you from apologizing for other people's abuses. As you grow you'll realize some of the help you offer is neither wanted nor helpful. I do not mean this in a way that hurts your pride, these people aren't ready yet, you're too mature and too caring. They often have to learn the hard way.

And I'm almost in my 30's so it's not just a teenage phase, it's a situation that has lasted ever since I hit puberty.
>>423713Honestly this. I'm afraid of telling people I'm bi partially because of my own internalized homophobia and partially because of the reaction it causes in straight and gay people. They always assume I'm either in it for the attention or just a lesbian in denial.

I've been homeless for the past two days. I sleep in a very big park that's basically a botanical garden. I feel safe sleeping in here because this place is really big and it's usually guarded and you need to pay a fee to go inside, so I'm kind of staying in here illegally because I found a hole in the fence in a part of the garden that's not really being taken care of. The only thing that bothers me is the damn mosquitoes but I do have a very small tent I sleep in, so they only bother me if I get out of the tent during the night.
During the day I go to a McDonald's that's like 30 minutes away from here, I go there to charge my phone and my laptop and I also eat the leftovers of other people but they aren't really leftovers because people buy so much food they don't even eat, touch or take home with them it surprises me, I have plenty of food thanks to that. I try to keep myself looking as clean as possible and not homeless looking so I won't seem vulnerable. I use the bathrooms of fast food places to clean myself, brush my teeth, I try to keep a good hygiene. I don't have much clothes so I know I'll run out of clean clothes soon and I don't know how I'll manage to do my laundry. I was thinking of shoplifting some detergent and then going to some fast food place at an hour where there aren't costumers to wash my clothes in the sink and then bring the wet clothes in the park I live in to hang them around trees and let them dry.
I'm not sad anymore, especially after my mother committed suicide. I just feel compelled with my life, I don't feel like I'm struggling anymore, I'm feeling at peace somehow although I still contemplate suicide everyday. I don't have anyone, I don't have friends, I don't really have family anymore, I don't have expectations from the future or from myself anymore. I do want to get out of this situation and I would also like to have a normal job one day and have friends too but I'm not sure if that's possible for me. One day I would like to write a book and produce music, I love art, but I know that won't really happen either. I write poetry and I read daily, art and literature give me a great sense of comfort. I was a camgirl until a few weeks ago but I stopped working due to how stressful it felt and how much anxiety it created for me and because I would get death threats daily, but I know I shouldn't have stopped, now I don't know how to get out of this situation. The thing I'm most afraid of is that someone will tell I'm homeless and rape me or kill me because I'm alone and honestly I don't want to seek the companionship of other homeless people.
I hope no one reads this because it's so miserable but at the same time I needed this, I had to vent somehow. Thank you lolcow.

I'm a previous anon who was having trouble with my domineering, nasty younger uni freshman student sister. She started grating to me to the point where I can't take it anymore, ever since she's gotten back home from uni. my dad is projecting his anger onto me instead of her and threatened to turn off my phone service and restrict my wifi, specially target at me and not her, because he's too pussy to stand up to her abusive behavior. And I for one don't feel safe in that house with a bully sister who's going to physically and emotionally berate me.
I'm not in the best of straits with my mom either, she abused me for 10+ years; but I think she's a lot more medicated now than she was during my childhood and adolescence, and her attitude has become less resentful, though she is fully capable of being a bitch if she wants to, it's better than dealing with my sister rn. I'm temporarily living with her due to all that's happened and the fact that I ended up cutting my arm on some glass after one of my fights with my sister. She's going to make me go absolutely psychotic and my fathers not doing anything about it.
Aside from that, I was dealing with withdrawal symptoms that I tried best to not drive me scaling a wall… I'm bipolar, I've been forced to be off my meds because my insurance expired and was left un renewed for the longest time (my dads constantly getting laid off / rehired and never manages to retain coverage that lasts) and I need to consistently get back on a schedule, I have some leftover meds that I've been warming off of, now that I have insurance again I'm pleading I can get enough coverage to finally get prescriptions again. I also go to counseling a lot and have been keeping my psychologist therapist in the loop and she is aware of all this, and still thinks my family are being unfair to me. My sister, meanwhile, is a menace who nobody, nobody will fucking talk down. I feel like leaving is what I had to do if that environment aimed to further destroy the shambles of my mental health, they wanted no part of it. I had to emphasize that I wasn't going to take it.
I'm having a meeting with my therapist and my dad on Tuesday and am going to try explaining as calmly as I can that it feels like he's broken 5 years of trust with me by siding with my sister, and completely disregarding my mental health struggles, absence due to his job… my sisters been here for what… two months and preens herself like she owns the place? And yet she'll be gone in three. He needs to understand that nobody should be forced to abide by or adhere to anything she says, she's a fucking minor compared to the rest of us, and she probably needs medication and therapy above all else. Her severe anger issues aren't being helped by her birth control and sometimes merely nearing her makes me anxious and fearful.

Love is the strongest when you don't know everything about a person, when there is uncertainty and you are allowed some imagination of what the person is really like.

I'm not sure what my stupid lesbian brain even wants at this point.
I redownloaded the Her app recently, and I matched with someone. Surprisingly. We barely exchanged any messages besides hello before she asked if I wanted to grab a bite to eat today (I panicked, said I was working until the evening so I couldn't (not a lie) and pushed it to Monday). It makes me feel so sick and gross. My most recent relationship ended like half a year ago. I've been constantly telling myself how I want to date someone again, but now that I'm presented with a meeting with some random girl, I immediately want to go back into my hole. I know it's just to grab a bite, talk, get to know each other, not even a formal date, but I don't realized how uneasy I am about it. I don't want to deal with meeting new people, trying to map and figure each other out to see if we're remotely compatible (as people, friends, or girlfriends), trying to fill in the awkward silence. I feel so disgusted. I don't really want to be around other people, especially new people who I don't trust.
Also, even before I matched with this girl, I fucking hate shifting through all the people on this app. This app is littered with troons and genderfluid girls everywhere, and even cis men are on here! Get off this app! It's for women you disgusting fucks! And then when I think I've come across someone cute that I might want to talk to, they list themselves as poly. No, no thanks, I don't want to enter that trainwreck. No one can convince me that poly relationships are any good.
I keep thinking that I'm ready to date again, but I don't really think that I am. I just want to get over my ex, but unfortunately, everyone just sort of pales in comparison to her.

Every time I scroll past the anti-anime thread the folks over there are turning fucking psychotic with their hate against anime, acting like EVERY weeb ever is a disgusting pedo and all anime is about is sick fetishes and sexualizing kiddies, including the series made for children. How do you become so engrossed in loathing chinese cartoons that you have spergouts like this? Did a weeb grab a nipponese katana and behead your entire family one by one in front of you?

>>424792I don't know. As a fan of anime and manga I've kinda tried to learn to weed out the lousy crap. There's plenty of shows that aren't inherently fetishistic and sexualizing, if you scrape past the basic popularized isekai incestuous grime on the surface.
Like many genres it has its highs and lows and unfortunately what's been popularized in the last few years has fallen into the low category when it comes to the isekai boom. I will wholeheartedly say that I love Boku no Hero Academia and other things to come out of this new era, some moeblob shit, sports anime, and even Monogatari (where some of the sexualization seems more like a parody of itself than actually degenerate). There's still good anime out there if you wade through the crap. Plus the whole glorification in that thread of yaoi reeks of fujo anons leaking from their own threads. I frankly fucking hate yaoi as a sports anime fan.
Anyway I fail to see what's so harmful about anime as a whole when it has become significantly more popular in the West alongside jrpgs. I have run across plenty of people at my uni who are normal anime fans, and who favor the same anime I do. Even ten years ago, when it was a more niche thing, and I was a newbie fan, my friends who were into anime were relatively normal people. Does that mean there aren't degenerates? Of course not. Do degenerates dominants the general populace? No, not really, they're just usually the loudest of the bunch.

>>424792You seem super upset (again). NTA, and I don't think it all needs to be withheld from children, but as far as the whole "did a weeb ____???" thing goes (I've seen multiple farmers shit out this line, or maybe just you over and over again), yeah, unsurprisingly, people have had some terrible experiences with weebs (I've read their posts detailing their experiences in the grooming thread, and they haven't been too nice), so I'm not really sure how you think that backs up your multiple spergouts over this.
And I think the point that anon was making (though I can't be too sure) was that it has the capability to lead kids down a gross rabbithole because of the communities and stuff.

Western shit is nothing but sexual innuendos and jokes, how the hell should anime be judged on different standards? In which universe do these anons live where "the majority" of anime is 12 year old dickgirls being raped by tentacles? Are people seriously so reserved their delicate ladybrains can't handle a pantyshot joke without going on a rampage? And how far gone do you have to be that you consider Card Captor Sakura as "pedogrooming" because Sakura is shown to have a puppy crush on her big brother's gay boyfriend?

Imagine being a grown women (at least I hope you're over 18. and female.) and thinking you need to defend animuh on the internet lol
And people do call out
degenerate western thots, all the time.
It's never guys who were exposed to too sexy artists like Shakira or Beyonce as kids, who then go on to become basement dwellers who fantasize about killing everybody, no, it's always otaku neckbeards. And what do female neets spend their time with? I don't think it's watching or listening to western shit either… The retarded are drawn to anime and anime only serves to make you even more retarded.
Topping that of with girls getting depressed because the males in the community think 2d > 3d, and then attempt to get a tiny bit of love and attention by throwing any dignity out of the window and pander to them in any way they can… and you'll get 10-year-olds making ahegao faces (only for the lulz! nothing serious about that!) and 18-year-olds "cosplaying" in nothing more than a bikini (while getting called haggard and too old by men in their 30s and 40s).
Or 1000s defending and falling in love with somebody who tried to murder another person, because "she's the ideal yandere
waifu!!!"…
Nothing good ever came out of manga or anime. It serves as a medium to depict things (without any consequences) that would be considered absolutely inappropriate in the eyes of any normal person.

"Baby fever" is real, but it has nothing to do with timing, when/what is most beneficial to have a child, etc. It's just something that happens when people are exposed to kids, their friends or family members having kids, etc. Nothing to do with chronology. Having kids is like, the shittiest of all pyramid schemes though. People are always trying to "sell" you into it, but it requires that you make physical, financial, and emotional sacrifices for something that people never speak truthfully about, specifically because they're already neck-deep in their 'investments'. Ones that they're now emotionally, financially, and especially, legally, liable for. There's no way to get a feel for what a mistake it is when people have that much on the line.

>>425163>She's 22 weeks, she's far enough along to have already formed a strong bond with the baby and probably feels like these people are literally murdering her child. How is that better for her than letting her have it?I care more about the actual, material ramifications of her being a parent and giving birth to a child she can't care for, seeing as how she can't care for herself, than her feelings, honestly. I can almost guarantee the soon-to-be grandma is a nutcase, too. She should be pre-occupied with enough worry about her already existing disabled daughter to know that this is bonkers, rather than deluding her. Pretty exploitative on behalf of the mother, actually, to use her disabled daughter's body like this because she's pro-life. Her giving birth is obviously not in her daughter's best interest.
>And where exactly is the line? What about a woman with schizophrenia or some other severe mental illness? So any woman who is deemed incapable of making wise decisions for herself should be forced to abort against her will?She's not mentally ill, she's severely cognitively disabled. You must know the difference between the two. The child will probably be the one to suffer from this. A severely disabled person shouldn't have to worry about this, anyways.
>>425168>I don't. Either outcome is shitty, but ultimately it should be the woman deciding what happens, not the government in either direction.You don't, but let's just throw a helpless child into an already painful, complicated, and uncertain situation all because, what, the mother will be super sad if not? Do you care about the child at all, or what? This has the potential to be a frightening and painful situation for more than just the mother, and it's very unfair to prioritize only the feelings of a mother who can't even begin to take on or understand how to care for herself, let alone her child. It's really better for her to just have the abortion. The ends justify the means.

And there's a huge difference between an unhealthy environment, and having a parent that literally cannot understand or carry out necessary tasks to care for themselves and their child. Though tbh, I don't think people with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia should be having kids, but apparently they don't give a shit about the well-being of their children and how it can possibly be compromised by their illnesses, but w/e.
>Also, all your arguments against allowing the child to be birthed and put up for adoption also apply to every single kid put up for adoption. Should we just ban adoption and force anyone who can't take care of a kid to abort?If they can't find someone to adopt and care for the child, yes. Kids shouldn't be forced into a world without people that can care for them and give them what they need. Even psychologically, I'm sure that kind of thing has to do a child's head in, just knowing you were alone from day 1, and so many kids who don't have advocates or a support system face truly terrible things.

They strike me as libfems fresh off Tumblr. Their main thing they love to do is proselytize to other women, and they want to dress it up and fit in here by adding sideways shit like "Ok men bad too but you don't need to be like them!!". Notice that Tumblr is also full of fujoshi-bashing, too. Genderspecials, FtMs and other assorted women with hang-ups about womanhood getting angry about women. The argument is typically that it's "fetishizing
gay men". From what I've read, radfems don't care about that shit. Their concern is women, first and foremost, which means women's exploitation and the commodification of their bodies.
These same types will also shit on women to defend gay men with their lives, for the reasons I stated above. I realized this was a thing when the gay male bashing thread appeared (it was mostly women bashing gay men for the same reasons all other men are bashed), and then suddenly an insane self-proclaimed lesbian made a disgustingly long post shitting on women for being straight, calling them "dicklovers" or whatever the fuck, then ran to /meta/ to throw a fit about radfems and homophobia.

I had this guy friend that I used only to vent, he knew it and was completely cool with it that he even encourages at times (creepy I know), and he knows that I'm already in a relationship because I vent about my s.o. being closed off sometimes.
This dude who is also still in high school and is the type of boys who likes to collect as many females as possible and I straight up told him he has no chance for endless reasons but he confuses me, he talks about how no one wants to date his ass but then he is always in a relationship but doesn't want to admit it.
I had encountered men like him before but he is so stubborn, I told him about gross stuff about me, I sent him photos of my leg hair and other stuff that would turn off most men but he insists on being so flirty also sending me occasional 'I miss you' every once in a while, I tell him that I've been with this man for two years and I'm not leaving him any time soon… he is just horny it is freaking me out, finally I blocked him and it was a relief.
That was two months ago, today I woke up and found a 'I miss you' message on my discord that I forgot I gave him.
I'm blocking him there too, I just hate men sometimes, feeling entitled or acting like they care while having a bunch of other ladies who they treat the same, -men- like him just see a female as a collectible and my lord they want to collect them all.

She has a past of familial abuse though which makes her very wary (even to this day when I'm 22).
Some people just don't care about their children. And men do get stupidly offended by shit like women being on guard around them at night or not having full access to all kids. I have no idea why.

>>425634I guess I'm a western degenerate because I wouldn't mind a close male family member helping my child wash her/himself, but he should definitely tell me first and not just disappear with the kid and letting me find him with my child buttnaked. But I still thinks it's the mom prerogative and if she doesn't want any men involved in her kids shower time people should just fuck off and obey.
I had a lot of males figures around me when I was a kid and me and my cousins spent a lot of time completely naked as kids, so I'm not really bothered by nudity, I guess I'm a bit naive cause I just think childs are lucky to be able to walk around naked sometimes, I don't even think about the perverted males who enjoy it.

I exposed my narc mom's abuse towards me on facebook hoping to get support, and it was actually very well-received. A lot of my friends reached out to me to offer help. Probably the most I've ever seen in my entire life.
I made sure to block most family members from seeing the post, especially mom's flying monkies like my cousins. I knew they'd never be supportive of me and would stan her hard. They've always treated me like a black sheep for one. Secondly, they have sucked up to my mom in order to gain material things and money so they're super into currying her favor. They never catch her nasty side so they don't give a fuck on how she treats me when no one's around, they don't live with her or deal with her anyway. They don't mind throwing me under the bus if it means they'll reach golden status with her.
One cousin in particular, K, is a master manipulator and drained my granddad before he died. Mom has always treated K peachy sweet, even when she knew how much she took advantage of granddad. Mom is even funding a huge portion of K's wedding that I wasn't invited into (not that I'm mad about that). I accidentally forgot to block K's sister from seeing the post though. It was easy to forget because I only see her once every few years and she never interacts with me. So she must've shown K who was blocked.
K sent me an aggressive text message, stopping none short of sucking the fluids from mom's vacuous cunt.
>omg anon im shocked youd say that abut ur mom shes a good person who has been good to you she needs you like are you for real? ur insane u know you could have come to me instead ive got ur back i cant believe you w that post shes blood and shes always had ur back maybe not in the way you wanted her to be shes gonna be so upset when she sees this you know its hard living w my dad but you talk it out and move on im so shocked
I was with friends at the time or I think I would've called this ballsy bitch. Luckily it's a good thing I was with people because it forced me to calm down and send a polite text after mulling on it a bit.
Main rebuttals were 1. Mom is blocked so if she "sees the post" I'll know K is the drama stirring snitch who evidently doesn't "have my back." 2. Shame and ignorance on K for being more "shocked" about being matter of fact over mom's abuse towards me than the fact of how I'm fucking homeless and in a bad position because of her emotional instability. 3. I didn't go to K to talk about it first because she's the type of asshole to try to convince a victim that their abuser is a "good" person and obviously I wasn't going to receive the support I needed from her clueless ass. 4. Her dad is NOT an abuser and she's an idiot to compare a common family squabble to my situation. 5. Gee thanks K, never thought about "talking it out" before with this crazed narcissist before, you're soooooooooo smart and I'm just a dumb dumb.
I'm being a lot more shrewd typing it out here but the reality was I was being meek and trying to keep the peace in my texts back to her.
I pathetically wrapped it off with a "Thank you and I appreciate your good intentions." Fuck that, I'm so frustrated that I let that spoiled twat shit all over me. I wish life had a redo button. She didn't deserve my calm after sending me that horseshit.

My problem is the nude ladies that he draws, they do have similar body type as I do but they kinda resemble porn stars at times which bugs me a bunch although it is honestly nothing and I get inspired by fit boys on Instagram all the time.

I no longer live with mom. I packed my shit and left spur of the moment from her last
abusive outburst at me. I couldn't take it anymore.
My only concern is that I had to leave my pet behind temporarily until I get a new apartment. She's not a bunny boiler, but I will need to stop back to feed and change water and I'm dreading at the prospect of having to see her ass. Maybe I'll sneak in at night.

>>425879girl you need to masturbate a lot, you got a lot of self-exploration ahead of you.
try everything you can think of heck, even do some research if necessary.
here are some things I can think of off the back of my head:
-as I said, masturbate
-fingering won't do much and is generally harder, try playing around your clit, lips (labia minora), and nipples.
-fantasise before you masturbate
-warm up by doing lots of foreplay
-chill
-if he is that clueless maybe let him watch some porn? although porn is kinky and never sensual
-again, masturbate and find out where that clit is
No. 425885
>>425866From what you are saying it does seem to be more your jealousy that is the issue rather than your boyfriend. I 100% understand why this has become a jealousy issue for you, but I want you to remember that they are only drawings. Artists naturally want to draw what they feel is the ideal human figure. Both my boyfriend and I draw people, and the women he draws clearly show what he prefers. I don't have quite that body shape, but that is because I am a normal human that does not use my body to make a living (porn, etc.)
Your boyfriend loves you and you said yourself that he is a great guy that takes care of your needs. You just need to remember that and what a great thing you have when you feel your jealousy rising over some lines on paper.
No. 425887
>>425866>I just need to fix my jealousy issues which I fear come from the trust issues (with everyone).This is silliness. You're jealous because you care about your boyfriend and don't want to lose him, obviously. It's a meme that jealousy is psychologically unhealthy. An example of unhealthy jealousy is how men assault innocent people over that jealousy. He watches girls on screen that he imagines fucking, then later draws them. How is that not concerning? It rightfully making you a little concerned and sad is not unhealthy.
Your boyfriend sounds scuzzy and imo, you're settling hard, because it clearly does bother you.
No. 425889
>>425882Excellent advice right there!
My recommendations:
-Mastrubate.
-Search for porn that is tagged as 'female friendly' for professionally made porn videos where the woman is (usually) treated with respect and care, and you can easily see what is going on.
-Mastrubate.
-Mastrubate.
-Stop trying to push the blame onto your boyfriend.
-Stop thinking about cheating on your boyfriend. Seriously what is wrong with you? Be faithful or break up with him like an adult. Shit or get off the pot.
-Get better friends.
-Mastrubate.

From what I know women are more into talking and teasing than the intercourse itself, let yourself feel sexy (when you masturbate) and don't push for that orgasm to come it's okay to not reach it, try to not suppress yourself by holding back moans or anything in that nature.
As every other anon said, you can't expect him to do it if you yourself can't.
When you finally become natural around it -which will take time- try to make him give you an oral first.

No. 425917
>>425899Ok I'm not going to say what I really wanted to in reply to that and this will be my last response before leaving this conversation.
It seems to me like you have a lot of issues to deal with, and one of them is your view on relationships and apparent lack of respect for your partner. Just the fact that you are entertaining the thought of cheating on your partner because he can't satisfy you sexually, when you yourself don't know what the fuck you like in bed, is asinine.
You are both virgins and it is your responsibility to know what your body needs in order to be satisfied sexually. Your boyfriend does not have a clitoris or a vagina. The only way he learns is when he is with you, and you can't provide him with the guidance he needs.
I think you are immature and choosing the easy way out (cheating) because you can't be bothered to deal with your issues.
Listen to people's advice here and start somewhere.
And make a decision. If you want to sleep around show some respect to your boyfriend and break up with him first. And don't be surprised when you've gone for a ride but never reached your destination/orgasm with other guys. Because surprise surprise, if you don't know what you need, Jim Tom and Larry sure as hell won't either.
You frustrate me, Anon. Goodbye.

It hurts because I want our relationship to last but I hate that every single day has a problem where, in the end, I get yelled at and blamed for it even when he's the one who started it.
>>425944He'd be so devastated over that. I could never, and I don't want to… perhaps it's a fucked up situation.
>>425945It isn't fair at all. He said he felt "irritated" so he felt like being a smart-ass about the song.
>>425946Something he always says is "I care about you soo much and you don't care about me" or something like that. And when I get furious and accuse him that doesn't care about me, he gets angry and yells enough that I submit to him and apologize for, as always, being in the wrong. Yet he's always allowed to say how much I don't care about him.
>>425948It was a very beautiful, emotional song. It wasn't really light fun, he was straight up extremely critical and sarcastic about it.
It wasn't some retarded weeby anime character song at all, and even then he's never criticized me so harshly in the past.

He does it for both? which is fine and I can't see why it is not fine unless you weren't into art, but they're pretty tame, to say the least.
The porn I asked him to keep private since I don't wanna hear about what he jacks off to (BTW watching porn IS okay by me, don't push your ideologies on me pls), but he likes to show me what he doodled and it makes me speculate as you guys did but I'm over that stage and -again- we talked about it, I wanted to vent about feeling jealous still even though I know how this shouldn't be concerning me.
If anyone here is dating an artist who draws humans often should say that same and frankly, anons who had opinions I could agree on were in a relationship with an artist themselves!
I'm not seeking an ideal prince charming who would only look at me since that isn't realistic, and to be fair most of his drawings look like me in a way or another.

No. 425986
>>425984After reading the other comments, I have to agree with the Anon who questioned why you are ok with him watching porn but not drawing characters inspired by the porn? Is it because those actresses creeping into the art suggests he is thinking about them outside of the time spent watching the videos, and perhaps you are worried he thinks about these actresses when he is interacting sexually with you?
Unfortunately you can't police his brain, but drawing porn actresses in his art absolutely suggests that they are infringing upon his daily life/he thinks about them outside of the actual porn use. There is no real solution to that unless he decides to stop being so reliant on porn/drops porn as a hobby.

My parents had a sketchy AF dog they adopted as an adult that one day went from licking my face to immediately biting it (not to turn anyone off adult rescues, their other adult rescue is an angel). Luckily, she didn't do it hard enough to break skin, but hard enough to hurt a lot and scare the shit out of me. That dog lunged at my 8yo cousin one Christmas too, but my step dad grabbed her by the collar before she could get to her. All the kid did was pick up a gift and it freaked the dog out for some reason. We had to have a strict "no kids on the property" rule after that. Honestly, I feel extremely lucky we made it through the rest of that dog's life without her seriously harming someone.

Have you even ever put an animal down before? You sound like you have literally no idea what you're talking about. I feel like you're just talking about botched human executions and applying it to pets.

>>426143>not once have I seen them writhing in pain or anxiety.That's the horrifying part. You'll rarely ever see them actually writhe in pain because they paralyze them first. But then just because they can't express their pain that doesn't mean they're not experiencing pain. Imagining freaking the fuck out not being able to breathe or move while your loved ones just smile at you. The process is not designed to reduce the suffering of animals, it's designed to reduce the suffering of humans.
>And how the fuck do you live in a place so rural that the nearest vet is 4 hours away? Where's the closest hospital? Are you tilling land most of the day?It's a pretty big country. The nearest hospital is in the same town, but there's a flying doctor service to deliver patients faster.

But then just because they can't express their pain that doesn't mean they're not experiencing pain.What the fuck are you talking about? For the tenth time, they're sedated beforehand, and you're literally just assuming pentobarbital is painful when it's the gold standard with very little to nil evidence of what you're claiming. Now you're assuming pets are frequently experiencing locked-in-states or something where they're actually fully conscious despite being both sedated, then given large doses of barbituates? Again, I feel like you're conflating the insane (often expired) and already
toxic and poorly planned cocktails people are injected with in the US and pentobarbital and sedatives used in pets. They're not the same at all. You've never put a pet down and you just really want to shoot your pets in the head or something. You're weird as fuck.

>>426155Fuck, anon thanks for saying this. Blaming children instead of supervising adults (be it the owner or the parent) is crazy any way one puts it. The blame goes adult humans>dog>child.
Dog owners all think their particular animal is an exception to every rule and oh so well-behaved when they're extremely stupid creatures that are cute and affectionate, but also can be frightened or set off in other ways to unpredictable things. People completely misunderstand the level of intelligence animals outside our species posses, which is to say pretty much no intelligence in comparison to us. Even well-trained dogs have off moments and to think your barely-able-to-keep-pace-when-walking dog who won't reliably "sit" is stimulant-proof enough to be around small children constantly and go off leash in every area… Ugh.

Today is one of those days where I just want to give up on everything. Quit my job, quit my classes, I even want to quit the games I play. I just want to lay on the ground, be homeless or something, and not have any obligations or responsibilities. Life is so hard sometimes and I feel like nothing I do matters. Any progress I make is so incredibly slow towards my goals. What's the point, you know? Why are we here? Just to suffer. I just want to fade into non-existence.

Your boyfriend sounds inexperienced and just lacks confidence which is great if you teach him how you want him to please you. I'm honestly jealous because it sounds like you are on the road to have some great sex since you and him are actually trying to learn each others bodies. Most guys I end up with don't even try to please me. Hell I would accept an attempt of them trying to sexually please me if its just to boost their egos right in front of me.

I wish I could talk to my husband about my mental health. It feels so bad to keep it bottled up. Whenever he has a bad day, or is having negative thoughts, I focus solely on him. Make him his favorite food, let him watch movies and play games while he drinks and talks about his feelings, providing a shoulder to cry on and a lot of hugs. He always says he feels better afterwards and that he doesn't deserve me, but he does, but it just makes me feel so alone because I suffer as well.
Sometimes I cry for no reason, and instead of talking me through it or comforting me, he stops responding to me because he retreats into his own head. On multiple occasions he's gone into another room without a word. I have to swallow my feelings and comfort him instead because my sadness made him think about trouble at work or something. Every time I want to talk about my inadequacies, he turns it on himself. I slept on the couch once so that he didn't have to deal with me crying all night after telling him my repeating thoughts about how I would die, and the next day he checked himself into the emergency room with a plan to kill himself very similar to the one I described to him. I held his hand and comforted him through the whole ordeal, and he kept saying how glad he was that he didn't have to go through this alone.
I can't get support from him, and even worse, I have to watch what I say around him because he turns my intrusive thoughts into his own. I can't tell him about the memories of my mom beating me, and I have to push through the feelings of disgust when he touches me because it reminds me of gross childhood stuff. It's getting worse too, because I've been honest with him a few times about sadness, so every time he thinks I'm getting sad now, he stops responding to me, so I have to fake being happy and enthusiastic until he perks back up.
So a month of deciding that I lie to him about my depression, and here I am, looking at him with a smile thinking "I am worthless. I want to die. I want to fucking die." and here he is, hugging me and saying "I love you". He hugs me to make himself feel better. He says I love you because he loves the space that I occupy as a wife and caretaker. God forbid I'm unhappy in this space, or unhappy as a person. That just makes him unhappy too. I want to fucking die.

Dude looked like a real carricature of how you'd describe your typical 4channer, every time i've seen him around town he was wearing his fedora, and he's american levels of obese - I've never seen a person take up two whole bus seats before him
But the worst was the grime on his fucking teeth when he opened his mouth, it looked like he's never touched a toothbrush in his life!!!! I'm gagging thinking about it!!
And then when he asked me about my age and I said I was 20 that fucker looked visibly upset and went "oh I thought you were younger"
WHAT ???? DID HE THINK HE CAN SCORE A 16 YEAR OLD OR WHAT?? Why approach me if you think I'm a teen, you're at least 30!!!
Hold me, why do I always attract disgusting creeps like that? Where do guys like him even get the confidence?
I'm gonna avoid the bus for a while now and walk to uni.. Thankfully when he approached me my bus came the exact moment and I could flee from the interaction, but he shouted after me that hell ask me to exchange numbers next time he sees me

I was going to write out some more but I can't really remember it off the top of my head. There's a passage about love and relationships in Mark Hanson's "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" that think might be useful for you to read if you can bother finding a copy.

>>426257What the fuck. A marriage is about helping each other through good and bad times. The man who is supposed to be with you for the rest of your life treats you like garbage. When someone loves you they naturally want to help you heal and vice-versa. They don't avoid you and force you to deal with your problems on your own, or even worse, make the problems about themselves. Enough people are selfish and uncaring already, do you really need your SO to be that way too?
He's obviously a piece of shit but you would help from working on yourself too. You don't need a therapist to help yourself now. Once you build up enough self-worth you'll realize it's not worth staying with someone like that. Your depression probably makes you rationalize it as you deserving it, but obviously your logical mind is trying to give you a hint by how miserable and doubtful you feel. It's telling you to get the fuck out of there.
I'm usually the one to advocate to work things out but there is a fundamental compatibility issue here. He does NOT care about you. A relationship can't survive like that.

>>426276I came here to vent about this, specifically because it's brought up some trauma that I completely blocked out.
My close friend died of terminal cancer last September and his dying wish was to play the new Smash game early, since he wasn't going to live long enough to see the official release. Etika was one of the online personalities to help promote his cause and he ended up having a Nintendo rep sent to his house so he could play the game as a result of that. Etika went above and beyond to help my friend, the dude even deleted negative comments about my friend on his videos (like the fucking morons that kept saying "lol I'm gonna pretend to have terminal cancer so I can play games early", "why would his dying wish be to play Smash? lol what a faggot", general edgelord shit). I suddenly remembered today that during one of the last times my friend and I hung out together, he told me that Etika was helping him get to play Smash, and he was thrilled by that. I wasn't even really a fan of him, I just knew him as a guy I'm endlessly thankful for because of his selfless actions.
I was already upset when I found out initially, but the moment I started having traumatic memories pop up in my head, it wore me down to the point where I almost fucking cried at work today. I don't believe in an afterlife, but I hope that Etika and my friend are playing Smash together if it does exist.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a virgin for good due to circumstance and my ideas about relationships being too old fashioned.
I want to lose it to someone I trust and who I have a future planned out with, but because I'm moving across the (huge) country as soon as I graduate that's unlikely to happen within the next four years. I doubt anyone could like me enough to move with me. So I could wait until I move of course, but because I started university late I'll be 26 by that time. Men who are in their mid to late twenties are more likely to have already settled down with someone so my options will be low and getting lower with each passing year.
I wish I wasn't so monogamy obsessed because I'm a horny bitch and could just be having promiscuous fun if my character was only slightly different. Yet here I am, a prospective permavirgin.

>>426306Thank you for saying that, that's really sweet and it's definitely a comforting thought (I teared up a little, lol). Ever since Etika went missing I've felt so uneasy, and I couldn't put my finger on it. My brain just kept bringing up old memories at the wrong time (most memories being good, but still incredibly painful). I think my brain was going into defense mode again, desperately trying to block out what happened to my friend. Now that Etika's gone, my brain's given up and I'm suddenly flooded with all these memories that I tried to forget. Kind of silly that Etika caused this to happen, but trauma works in mysterious ways.
He put a lot of care into how my friend's campaign was handled. I didn't even know that Etika actively deleted edgelord comments until my friend told me today. He didn't have to do it, but he did anyways. And I was so, so, so appreciative at the time, and I still am. It's sad when you think about it, the guy was selfless and helped my friend get through the worst fucking thing imaginable, the thought of being dead at 21 years of age. And in the end, Etika couldn't save himself from the same fate, even though he didn't have to die and could have stopped himself. It's so unbearably depressing to me. Suicide is something I've struggled with for a really long time, and my friend helped me through a lot of really rough patches.
Watching Etika push away every one of his friends until he ended up offing himself was a huge eye opener for me. When my friend died I basically had to force myself to not isolate myself, because just a few months prior, I had pushed everyone away for a solid year. And when I finally decided to break out of my shell and start interacting with people again, I found out my best fucking friend was going to be dead in a few months. Shit was fucking terrible.

I got rejected from regular hospital service to check out my bowels (even though my mum has confirmed IBS and has for a long time and my symptoms are the same as hers) so I got sent to some tiny charity hospital.
They literally called and booked me in for what I thought would be some kind of starter appointment, but then they sent me a letter in the mail to (quite literally) prepare my ass for a sigmoidoscopy. Okay sure, fine whatever. Bought my own enema like they told me and used it this morning.
Mum dropped me off to the appointment and all the nurses were really lovely so I was pretty hopeful.
Then the doctor came.
For context, i'm pretty fat (especially because i'm short), but technically healthy (i'm in my early 20s so I guess that helps).
He started off nice and asked me about my medical history, told him that I had endometriosis and had a surgery for it earlier in the year. Okay. Any heart problems? Liver problems???? Diabetes??????? Respiratory problems???????????? Nope. Are you SURE??????????????? Yes, i've had plenty of tests. Kept side eyeing me and acting like I was straight up lying to him. Yes dude, I am fat but I don't sit on my ass eating KFC all day, I was immobilized in bed most of the past 4 years due to my endometriosis. Shocker.
Anyway he puts away the papers and I get taken away into the room they do the procedure in. They ask if a student nurse can watch, and stupid me assuming they would be female like all the other nurses ended up having an 18 year old boy look at my ass cheeks being spread and inner bowel broadcasted for 10 minutes.
It was extremely painful for the majority of it but i'm pretty used to being in bad pain so I didn't react to it much.
Procedure finished, doctor tells me there doesn't seem to be anything wrong except I have some moderate hemorrhoids. Sure makes sense.
Then he starts telling me that I REALLY need to start drinking water (mfw???). I tell him I actually drink 2-4 litres of water per day or else I get extremely dehydrated, and my GP told me I need to try drinking less. He looks me in the eyes and tells me "well. No you don't. Or else you wouldn't have hemorrhoids". BITCH WHAT THE FUCK???????????????ok
Then I see on the paper he's filling out that he put my pain level for the procedure as a "1". Despite not fucking asking me once.
I'm so glad it was free or else i'd be finding out how to fucking murder this cunt. I probably sound like a delusional fatty-chan but straight up being treated like and told i'm a liar drives me up the fucking wall. I was rejected public healthcare for about 8 fucking years for my pelvic pain and treated like I was lying or overreacting to the pain I was experiencing until I went private and got a laparoscopy to find endometriosis all up my pelvic walls. Fuck doctors, especially male ones.

The mental healthcare system in the US does not advocate nearly as much as they should for the mentally ill, and I know it doesn't because of limited resources that are in no way the fault of hospital workers. But I'm just in disbelief that they could admit this suffering man twice and just…let him go. I know he refused help on multiple occasions, but where's the line? When do we say "this severely mentally ill person does not have their own best interests in mind and needs to be advocated for whether he likes it or not?"

>>426483tl;dr: don't do it unless you're close and comfortable with them
parents have a certain dynamic with their children, which is very different from the way spouses interact with each other. in my observation a lot of tension arises from the simple fact that due to feeling a certain ownership over the person, mothers-and daughters-in-law don't get along super well.
second thing is the poisoned well. i faced this personally but it might not be the case for you so take it with a grain of salt; but if a person assumes from the get-go that you're terrible and wants to see the worst in you, they'll point out everything you do from holding your fork wrong to dressing like a hobo. you could be a literal saint and they'll find something to talk shit about, and that kind of thing will spoil any vacation.
third thing to consider is, do you want to spend an extended period of time bonding with people who are/soon will be part of your family? you are not obligated to. i haven't done any vacationing with my in-laws but in the past every couple of months they would force me to take a leave and come down to their place to just spend time with them for 10-odd days
without their son present. (by force me, i mean emotional manipulation until either I or my husband would cave) needless to say both parties were left with diminishing opinions of each other every time, and now i don't do it anymore because i know how it'll end.
hopefully you have a better relationship with your inlaws anon, but remember that you get to decide how much work to put into it and you get to decide your personal boundaries. don't feel forced to spend time with someone just because they're family, because it can go wrong unless both parties are comfortable and willing to become close with each other.

>>426396I never trust male nurses and doctors because I always feared they would dismiss my symptoms or whatever. I've been lucky enough to only have female doctors for some important issues when I was a kid and then a teenager. But even some female doctors don't give a fuck about their patients sometimes. I don't think your doctor only dismissed you because you're a fatty-chan, some do that with everyone because they're just incompetent overall. And the fact that you have (had?) endometriosis and were neglected by doctors doesn't surprise me at all. Next time you have to go see a doctor or go to the hospital don't hesitate to refuse seeing a male nurse if you think they can send a female nurse instead. You're allowed to if that makes you uncomfortable.
Speaking of shitty female doctors, I remember last year passing out at home, throwing up for a week and only being able to eat a small bag of chips and drink a glass of water for the entire week and when I was healthy enough to get out and see a doctor she told me 5 or 6 times I'm most likely just pregnant even though I'm a kissless virgin and she didn't want to write an official document so I could ovoid going to work until I insisted for 30min. I turned out to have a stomach virus and it only took her a few seconds to test me for that but I still had to insist for it because she somehow thought I was still pregnant after I told her I was a virgin. When I told her about my previous health issues that could make me feel sick she dismissed me even though she could have consulted my medical records in 5 seconds and seen that I had a congenital disorder that could contribute to me passing out from time to time. Another dumb bitch, an endocrinologist, made me wait up to 7 months to check something very specific and important and because I didn't completely shave my legs for the consultation she told me she'll check my male hormones first after my blood work. Once I had the results none of what I asked for was mentioned in particular. If you see that shit don't hesitate to ask questions over and over again because some doctors are just straight up retarded.

Regardless of what some anachans here might say, 200 pounds at 5'9 isn't deathfat tier and there are men out there who would still pop a boner for you and love you.
Ditch the ungrateful drunk.

literally just told me a few hours ago that he wants to sleep with other women but just not me. I then spent the next few hours bawling my eyes out. He’s now flip flopping saying he doesn’t know what he wants to no, he didn’t really mean it.
I’m very religious and I don’t believe in divorce except for abandonment but I’m going to talk to others about this because I believe this is emotional abandonment.

I may sound like an utter prude, but the way young girls are dressing nowadays is so saddening. I was out shopping today, and more times than not, I saw groups of tweens and early teenagers in skintight crop tops and short shorts. It kinda shocked me, when I was that age I had the most HIDEOUS dress sense. I mean, multicoloured tights, tutus, ugly graphic shirts, I truly was the epitome of that awkward ugly stage people go through (or went through now I guess)
But I know it's a result of social media and peer pressure to look perfect. It's not these girls faults that they've been brainwashed to think they should look that way. As much as I think it's perfectly acceptable for girls in their much later teens and upwards to dress skintight/however they want, but it's just makes me so uncomfortable to see literal children dressed in that way. They literally look like miniature 20 year olds. And to see fucking men leering at these young girls makes me sick. This society man, really never want to let my future children have social media. This might belong in the unpopular opinions thread but I don't even care, any parent who lets their children out dressed like that is doing something wrong.

Isn't that weight at that height just the border of a healthy BMI? I know it's not perfect but w/e. I am actually a little over that weight and an inch shorter, but it's because I'm lucky enough to not put on weight easily. Not everyone is. Not only that, but how much of your weight is fat, muscle, frame, doesn't show on the scale. Your health matters more, and from the sound of it you're overweight, but not obese. Take a deep breath and maybe take a break from this site, or at least avoid the threads with weight and diet talk. I'm skinny and it gets to me, it's that bad, so for someone ex-anorexia trying to lose weight and unhappy with their weight, I imagine it's worse…

Honestly I feel like I am losing my mind.
I was diagnosed with psychotic depression at 14 but possibly may actually be BPD; the original diagnosis wasn't actually recognised by mental health professionals (or well the psychiatrist I had afterwards). But lately I have been delusional, paranoid, and angry. I have a lot of history with child sexual abuse, and childhood emotional abuse, and I feel like because it's been untreated I am just going crazy. I feel bugs on me, I sometimes am convinced my family is trying to kill and poison me. I'm 20, it's ridiculous I know. I went to A and E the other day because I was psychotic and suicidal but because I was not in immediate danger I got an appointment in a month to be assessed (which for the UK is great) but in the mean time I feel like I'm going crazy and I hate it. I want to be normal for me, my family and partner, but I can't function. Can't wake up, shower, get a job. I hate myself, I feel pathetic. I just want to be normal and function like a normal person, I want to get a job and go back to college but I just can't and I hate it.

I hate how obsessed I get with owning particular things even though I know I don't need them, they won't improve my life and that I won't even be particularly happy after buying them. I just get so fixated even when I know it's a mistake and the desire to have it just eats away at me until I get it.
For example, I've had a little iPad that I draw with for about a year, which works perfectly well for me. As a hobby artist I know for a fact I don't need a Cintiq, but I've been obsessed with owning one. I could technically afford one, but it's way more money than I'm comfortable dropping at once, and I know my partner would be pretty mad if I did. So I've resisted, but I still obsess over having on literally daily. I keep trying to justify it with "well if I had a Cintiq, then I wouldn't have to pay the CSP subscription and I'd save money in the long run" (it's subscription based on iPad but not desktop, unfortunately). And "I'd have a bigger screen so I'd get more enjoyment out of drawing." etc. Even though I know for a fact I'd probably use it less since it's not portable like an iPad.
I imagine this is how Holly Brown must feel when she latches onto the newest and latest products that she will stop using in like a month. I used to have a hardcore shopping addiction that put me in thousands of dollars of debt back in my late teens/early 20s that I just paid off last year, and I suspect the obsession with certain material items is a remnant of it so I know I shouldn't give in.

Do you think that would help you ease the guilt of purchasing it? I do this for a few items, I start to obsess over finding a cheaper alternative. I'll spend days, sometimes weeks keeping an eye on an item I want, going to different websites and comparing which is better. I end up saving a chunk of money and it just makes me feel good, even though I bought the thing I probably don't need, but did want, I'm able to enjoy and say "This will come in handy and I paid x amount less than what the more popular one normally goes for!"

>>427276I own a Cintiq 24hd and my friend has A Huion display. My thoughts:
Huions are more maneuverable, but less sturdy. I think they come with a nice arm/stand. The company that makes/distributes them has good customer service. Huions have slight calibration issues- the closer to the edge, the more the cursor slightly begins to track away from the pen. They're not bad for the price, but a Huion probably wont last as long as a Cintiq.
As for Cintiqs- a lot of them have the same malfunction that causes a subtle dim patch on the lower left corner. The company is a pain in the ass, but they've been good about coding around all the cancerous Win10 updates that have been going on. Fantastic calibration, even on the big ones. The stand that comes with it kind of sucks, and the device itself is very heavy. Not good for someone who moves around a lot. Wacom tech support sucks, but Cintiq's popularity makes it easy to find advice online.
I have a few friends who use a Microsoft Surface. Their feedback: easy to transport, nice for drawing on the go. Horrible driver issues- Microsoft are even bigger headasses than Wacom when it comes to drivers. Doesn't come with the fucking pen, which is an extra hundred bucks (seriously.)
My advice? Get a little Cintiq– the Cintiq 16. Easy to transport, the same price as a Surface or Huion, and it's got the durability, community support, and fast driver updates of a Wacom device.

I've been away from home travelling -by car for the most part- for a little over a month now, yesterday as I was half-way travelling to my final destination; my grandma's house in the countryside, I got an email indicating that I must show up to an interview that is in my hometown, I tried emailing them but they emailed back saying there is no way round it… this interview can change my whole life, I just arrived and I'm packing my stuff to leave to a five-hours away city to leave from the airport to my hometown.
When I thought I can finally rest after a very stressful year THIS happens, I've been living off one meal a day and it is always fast food, I miss real food, water, coffee, I miss being able to breathe (clean air) I also am in need for doing some blood tests because I've been feeling unwell and started taking iron supplements without prescription and I'm feeling better.
I had a dentist check-up that I missed due to my travelling and I also have a surgery that I've been told by different doctors to do for a year but I've been delaying it for I have no time. I've been trying to watch some Netflix series but I wasn't able since I've been on my limited phone data, I've thinking of getting back into drawing, writing and other hobbies I had.

my appearance is destroying my life and i'm spiraling back into how i felt when my body issues were at their worst. i break down every time i see a picture of myself or catch my reflection in the mirror, the only time i can stand to look at myself is to put on makeup and it helped me feel more confident for a while, i got fairly good with my makeup skills but lately i've come to terms with how i don't even look pretty with it on to give myself the features i wish i had… it'll look okay for a second but then i'll be back to feeling sick over it. i can't do makeup suited to my own face either because i have nothing good or even just 'okay' about it to emphasize
i'd be fine with having a disgusting face if i had a halfway decent body, but i have nothing to work with when it comes to that either. my proportions are fucked and i look stumpy and fat from being so short, no matter how much time i spend at the gym or how restrictive i make my diet it just won't budge in some places. i look at pictures of myself from when i was a teenager, mainly from when i was about 15/16 and cry because i was so much more beautiful than i am now without any effort, i was very skinny and had a cute face that doesn't even register as myself when i look at it. aren't people supposed to get more attractive with age? why is it that i've only gotten uglier, despite taking better care of myself?
the longer i exist looking the way i do the more of my life is wasted, all i do anymore is spend all of my money on makeup and sit around researching plastic surgeons in my area, i avoid any interaction irl or online bc i feel like the ugliest person on the planet and i don't want anyone else to be repulsed by me. and even things like looking at the cows on here makes me feel worse about myself, because no matter how gross they might look they're still prettier than i am. i've been called attractive before, but i can tell it's a lie because of the amount of actually beautiful women are out there who they could have been complimenting instead. i can't stand lies and pity, i'd rather just be told i'm ugly
i'm at a loss and if i don't fix my looks i'll probably end up killing myself

Little did she know that she was dating a scumbag. Somehow that guy lies and keeps a low profile to still get more women, and he's only slightly cute.
The actual drama is that I think I know who the guy got his HPV from and it was because he fucked a trashy bitch from my high school and I know she fucked around a lot.
That's why I hated living in a small town.
None of this is comforting to you anon but I'm sorry. Men are pricks. When I had my own HPV scare I asked my ex at the time if he had anything (HPV can be dormant so I didn't accuse right away) and he gaslit me about how he thought I already knew he had it, etc.

He's blaming me for the cost of the utility setup. Because he couldn't wait until I got back from my trip so I could apply with my credit score because it's better. He would not have been charged deposits if he'd waited.
He's blaming me because he bought new furniture for a couple thousand dollars because he didn't want to use mine. He said "I never wanna see that shit again."
He's blaming me because he got this apartment on the third floor and he needs help carrying up the furniture. But it's my fault because I couldn't get my male friends to help us on two day's notice because they're either out of town or can't. I don't know why he couldn't ask males he knows, but I'm still catching the blame.
He's saying that because I'm only giving half rent a month it doesn't make up for other expenses so fuck me. He's begrudgingly taking the other bedroom as if he's a "guest" so clearly that's what he thinks of me being here.
He said I'm selfish because I want the bedroom and didn't consider his graciousness of setting the utilities and signing the lease. Despite the fact that I'm the one who's been living in my car while he's been living rent free at a friend's place whose only bitch is about their shitty pets.
He could have waited for me to get back, but he chose not to.
I want to kill myself. I broke down crying in front of him and said I wish I could afford my own place right now but I can't because I'm a loser. He calmly said "Well that's not positive thinking."

The last time I could play video games for more than an hour straight, I was in middle school. Video games were new and novel to me back then, since my family was poor and I had never really seen them before. Now it feels like almost every game is the same, a lot of wandering around and grinding. I get bored and move on to something else pretty quickly now.

>>427637I dunno. I met him at a vulnerable time in my life and we had a physical relationship. I never expected him to love me or anything, I knew our relationship was shallow. But I just… loved watching him. I wanted to know EVERYTHING about him. I wanted to see him interact with people, doing mundane things. I wanted to see who he is when he’s alone. Watching person you love oblivious to being watched is so fucking intimate, it made me feel fucking thrilled and elated. It’s not sexual or anything! If anything it illicit a feeling of pure untainted unselfish love about watching the object of your affection from afar but never covet their heart. I guess kind of like idolatry.
Logically, he was just an average dude, nerdy and charming. All of my motivations were completely irrational. I obsessed over people in the past but I had only ever engaged in actual stalking with him…

have been working here for close to three years, always leave 10 min early on Saturdays bc of how the bus scheduling is, it is cool with all of the management. I'm very hardworking (not me bragging but it has been recognised on multiple instances), always take extra days if anyone needs off, always do the bullshit tasks I shouldn't even know how to do to help out management etc bc tbh I do like the job despite it being stupid entry level nightshift grocery shit. today got told by shift leader who has worked here the entire time, we are very friendly etc, to not go home until I'm done with task and that how dare I think of leaving early when I'm contracted to work on the dot, so I stayed 15 min past end of the shift and will get home like an hour later meaning my sleep will be fucked and I still have 4 more shifts back to back. I am literally never ever going to give my all at any other job I have, it just doesn't pay off, everyone else can be lazy and fuck around as it's their baseline and nothing is ever expected of them but God forbid I get one singular leeway.

I got fucking fleas at my boyfriends house. After I left I was sitting in my car outside his house crying cause I just brought one into my car, and I don’t know what to do about it. It’s in my car, I’ll bring it into my parents house, I’ll bring it to my dog, it’ll infest my car, my house, my family. He just got rid of his cats for unrelated reasons, but apparently last month/or the month before they had fleas. He never TOLD ME THIS, even though I was visiting his house frequently and he visited mine many times as well. I had to go to Walmart fucking crying and buy raid, spray out my car, and then drive home in the rain with the windows down to air it out a little. I bagged my clothes as soon as I got home, hopped in the shower, and I’m hoping if I do have any they stayed in my car (which is easy to just blast with raid every time I drive). My boyfriend keeps pulling the “I’m so stupid I’m so sorry” card, just because I called him out on not fucking telling me, or any of our friends, that he’s had fleas within the past 2 months when we’ve all been over at his house, he’s been over at ours, in our cars etc. I had to tell him to let his friends know, and I’m a fucking teenager who doesn’t have an infestation, meanwhile he’s 3 years older than me, his townhome is infested, and his idea of treating it was treating his pets and spraying the house. Full house infestation, no foggers, no vacuuming, no calling anyone in, nothing. I’m fucking fuming at how he let everyone get exposed to this, cause his idea of fixing it was letting it go away on its own without embarrassing himself. Fuck!

I don't understand why people like Nier automata so much. The story is very mediocre, im not given any reason as to why i should care about the characters, which is pretty important considering what happens to them. Their personalities are pretty one-note like most animu characters lol. (2b is the kuudere, 9s is the self insert yandere etc).
Not to mention the combat is very shallow, just hold L2 and L1 and spam square until the enemy dies. There's no reason to use combos or the other weapons and pod programs you can buy. This is not really surprising considering Platinum is discount Capcom except with more waifu pandering.

I'm so, so fucking scared of my boyfriend and my friends being tired of dealing with me.
I'm … beyond kinda fucked, like, I'm on good meds, I'm trying to get better but for fucks sake do I have a cocktail of shit. 4 different diagnosis of disorders, 6 different meds to take..
I get bad sometimes. I act out and I realize moments later how bad it is like, I'm better than I was, I don't cut, I don't use drugs but fuck. Everything I hate. Little things like, I have bad PTSD after CSA and continued sexual abuse throughout my teens, I get 'le triggered' over any sort of sexualization of minors, someone I kinda… have to be… decent with is a lolicon and shit, and I bitch often by accident slipping by being like, 'gross' or 'seriously? that's.. not okay' when he speaks out about wanting to fuck anime characters who are like 10-15…
I end up trying to get attention a lot, on 4chan for example, it's another one of my addictions, I beat drugs, not as bad as alcohol as I was, but still bad with that.
I don't want to be a hassle. I want a reroll on life. I legitimately do not believe in god only because it's sickening to think a 'higher power' watched me be molested as a child, abused as a teen, all this fucking shit, and do nothing for me. I feel sorry for being alive. I feel like I'll be too mental one day. I feel like everyone talks about me, every time someone seems like.. they slightly don't like me I panic, I want to be okay.
I'm sorry. I'm sort of drunk right now.

I should've said that, realizing I didn't (drunk, I'll say again,) but yeah, that's my thought of her being with him, like… he also berates her constantly over the smallest shit, for example, she mentioned over voice chat that a thing they had planned got changed, and he spent like a minute telling her how stupid she was and how she should've PM'd him..

Now, get off social media. “I’m ugly anyways, so it won’t help!” — it will.

I wish I was born in a super elite rich family sometimes. I want to buy all the cute designer clothes, decorate my house like a hipster, travel to various countries, stay in luxurious hotels, eat at 5-star restaurants, go to weekly spas, hire a personal trainer and stylists, buy all the trendy art supplies and weeb merchs and just hop into a plane to meet your favourite artist/actor/actress/band or to conventions/concerts/events all over the world and do charities and hosts galas and events. Being rich means you don't have to worry about paying car loans, student loans, health insurance, paying rent and monthly bills and groceries and giving some of your pay to your parents for them to buy medicine or work super hard at the job you hate until you retire with bad health.
I sometimes feel envious of some of my friends who comes from rich families. Their life is definitely less stressful. They can go to any university they want all over the world and take degrees that are not so marketable but fun to learn like art, philosophy or medieval history because even if they can't find a stable job out of uni, they can just use their parents money to open their own hipster company. Or their parents will make them a board of director or shareholder of their parents' company. Or they can just live their whole lives without working and just have fun using the trust fund/real property/shares they own. They go on overseas holidays twice or three times a year and spend frivolously on new clothes/phones/gadgets/pets/games/weeb merchs every month or so without a care in the world.
I know rich people have their own problems too but at least they still have less problems to worry about compared to middle and low income people. I'd rather be sad and rich than be sad and poor.
I just hate the fact that the rich will almost always remain rich and the poor will always remain poor (with few exceptions). Even if I work hard until I die, I will never reach the level of the super rich. It's only the rare lucky few who can claw up their way from being at the bottom of the pyramid to the super top of it and I'm under no illusion that I'll be one of these rare people.
It also isn't fair that I'm born at a third world shit hole with poor standard of living and low exchange currency. I studied hard for six years in a degree that I hate so that I can work in a place that allows me to earn a decent salary, but nope! It's all a lie. I wish I can just move to another country with decent labour law. My country's labour law is so ridiculous! I can actually earn more money in a month as a waitress or picking strawberries at a farm in Australia compared to working an office job in my country.
Social media like instagram isn't helping as well. Gosh I wish I was a rich instagram weeb sometimes! I just want to spend money on things that I want (like my hobby, cute but impractical clothes or weeby shit) and not necessarily need without having to save up for five months and later decide to not buy it at all because I know I would end up feeling so guilty for buying "unnecessary" crap.
Sorry, I just needed to get this out. I've been feeling financially strained these past few months and it's making me stressed out and resentful of my fate in life.

>>428372>>428316Same, I work as a cleaner abroad for 18€/hour. On average I make 2000€ per month where I live. In my home country (shitty Eastern Europe), average salaries are 400€/month… Aside from rent, the cost of living isn't much lower there. In my home country, electronics are more expensive because of import taxes, having a car is a requirement unless you live in the centre and prices of decent used cars are 2500€ on average compared to 400-500€ here, we're always seen as stupider, more incompetent and less trustworthy than Western Europeans and I've been passed over for different jobs just because of where I was born.
It's really annoying, I work so hard but compared to everyone else I need a visa to do just about anything in the EU and am doomed to pay extra just to have the same things as everyone else. On top of that rich Westerners often come to my country to pick up girls and pretend they're rich royalty for a week and they treat local women like garbage.
If I stay in my home country I make peanuts on the dollar, get bullied by corrupt politicians and rich people every day, people act shitty because they're poor and miserable, I can make no difference in the world and all my life I'll fight just to survive and retire even poorer than when I started.

>>428316Same. Literally all of my problems in life come from the fact that I was always poor and that my parents were always greedy when it came to my siblings and me. Since I'm a woman and not even white in Europe there's the fact that no matter what I do, I'll most likely have problems with employment where I live and no matter what I'll have problems with the glass ceiling. I studied foreign langages so I could study abroad for a year and work abroad easily but I wasn't even able to go abroad for a year in an exchange program because even with scholarships I didn't have enough money. I have hobbies and like fashion but almost everything I own was bought second-hand or on sales. It's really frustrating and I'm sick of it.
I just graduated with a master's degree and I see people from college traveling abroad, treating themselves as much as they want and thinking it's just thanks to their efforts and hard work when half of them were able to do that since they were kids and spoiled by their rich parents. Some of them were my classmates in high school and were rich enough to go to expensive cities all over the world during their gap year and think they're amazingly talented for speaking several languages while practicing with foreign private teachers at home. I'm salty that almost none of what I wanted to do was possible and with time I'm getting less and less opportunities while spoiled assholes get all smug when they're given their high paying jobs or other opportunities on a silver plate with no experience and qualifications. I know how you feel.

My dad is starting to blame all the issues in his marriage to my mom on me and acts like I'm driving a rift between them even though she only gets mad at him when he screams at me for dumb shit. He used to take his anger at the world out on my mom but now that I'm older it's shifted to me. He thinks I'm lazy and doesn't do anything and that I'm a leech off of him financially even though I'm in school trying to graduate and move on from this. I let the dishes pile up for two days and he burst into my room screaming at me about how lazy and awful I am and accused me of lying about the migraines I developed recently as a way of getting out of things, saying that I never "seem" to get them on the weekends (I had one all of Saturday and Sunday last week but because I didn't whine about it it didn't happen to him) and that I'm seemingly able to party on weekends (I rarely go out besides my weekly DnD).

I was in the baking aisle earlier today getting a bunch of ingredients for baking and a very old woman (probably like 80 or so) approached me asking what I was making. She was wearing an atypical outfit, for an old woman; field grey cargos, camp T-shirt, tan baseball cap and work boots with tall socks like a working man would wear. I struck up a conversation with her about baking and she told me all about how she used to bake bread, which I when always wanted to get into. She would leaven it THREE times and use honey and ground nuts. It sounded so good. She said she doesn’t bake anymore because it’s “just her” and she lives in a place with a kitchen that isn’t conducive to cooking. We pretty much ended the conversation there but I am thinking of her 6 hours later feeling badly that I didn’t invite her to my place to bake together one day. She could have probably given me some great pointers and I’m sure she would have enjoyed having the chance to bake again and in the company of another person. I really wish I could go back in time.

No one speaks like this about video games or weeby crap, but anime and anime culture are pretty tainted by pedophilic content, so, rather than complaining that this is visible to people with working eyes and ears, maybe you should actually attack the outright or quasi pedophilic content that's so popular in these communities rather than denying it exists. It does exist, and if popular media had no effect on people or on men, the advertising industry wouldn't exist or would outright collapse. These things do have an effect on people. Every few days you make the same fucking complaint btw. And, again, plenty of people on here have actually been abused or groomed by guys who are really into anime, specifically because it warps their perception of women and girls. And man, whenever the anti-anime thread is like, barely even being posted in, you make the same fucking complaint.

The issue is that your average hardcore western otaku has pedophilic tendencies to start with and will give money to anime enabling said tendencies, creating more demand for that trash. The industry is just rolling along with whatever fills their pockets (which is reprenhensible in itself, but doesn't make it inherently pedophilic).
I'm sure anime and the culture surrounding it can teach people some specific retarded ideas, but any man who lets anime (or any other medium) shape his entire view of women and sexuality and meme him into grooming young girls already had problems. Blame men, not whatever they use to justify their bullshit.

A lot of the pedophilic men were boys that got wrapped up in it. I don't think all of them would've necessarily been as disgusting if they weren't absorbed by anime culture. Plenty of the appeal is that they find out that this "exotic" """art""" heavily caters to creepy fucks, and that this cutesy medium has an edgy, alternative side that's especially appealing to young boys. I don't think this is just a problem because full grown men with pedophilic tendencies come across it and anime is doing some fanservice shit. I think little boys are growing up with it and are becoming pedophiles or are developing pedophilic tendencies, AND I think the entire culture in grorious Nippon is absolutely fucked and many seasoned artists, directors, writers, etc, have pedophilic tendencies.

Dad took my dog to the vet on Thursday. He tells me that the vet said her back was just in pain and that's why she's been so slow and lethargic.
>sounds fake but ok
Vet calls the house, I answer the call and the vet tells me my senior dog has kidney failure. Her levels are so elevated that this has obviously been going on for a while, but my dog has been nothing but extremely hyper and energetic everyday despite being a senior so I never thought much of her short periods of lethargy or constipation before (she's had stomach problems since we got her so constipation/diarrhea weren't really out of the ordinary/enough to warrant a vet trip), so we've basically caught it really late. The vet told me we have to bring her back the next day, it's really bad. I go first thing in the morning when they open, the vet isn't there, she's at their other location. Vet tech takes the urine sample the vet had me get, does a second round of blood testing (free of charge thankfully), then tells me I'll get a call back at the end of the day about the results. I took off work and thought maybe I could just go in late, but since I might have to bring my dog back based on the test results, I opt to just stay home with her.
The day passes, no call. The next morning I call and the receptionist says "We never call anyone. You have to call about the results" even though the vet called us on Thursday and the vet tech took down my number so she could call me back… Ok bitch. She faxes the test results to the other office and says the vet will call me back. She doesn't.
I'm so fucking frustrated. I just want to start treatment for my dog. She might not even respond to it, but I just want to try. After almost a week of not eating (and losing so much weight from it… I can suddenly feel her ribs and spine poking out so much) she's started eating again, which I guess is a good sign. Can this fucking vet just please get back to me? I guess I'll call her on my lunch break, but I'm so fucking frustrated. I don't want to see my dog so sad again. She might not even get better, but I just want to do everything that I can for her while she's still with us.
On the bright side, I'm happy that she's eating again because her new food came in the mail last week and I was upset that she wouldn't be able to try it. Not even that I spent money on it, but it's human grade food and I snuck a bite and it was pretty damn delicious for dog food, so I really wanted her to eat it and enjoy it. Watching her clean out her bowl is the most fulfilling thing now.

I've kind of had it. I feel like I am losing my mind. This morning my partner of 12 years made another comment about my breasts. I have… something. Dysphoria? Gender issues? I don't know. But I have had this problem since I was 15 and I just turned 33. I have seen a few therapists over the years (still have one that I currently see weekly) and entertained the idea of transitioning but that isn't really it. I don't need different pronouns either. I just hate that I am in a woman's body. I hate everything about the way it feels. I don't want to be reminded that I am physically a woman, so people talking about physical things I cannot change that are specifically female, or when I look at myself and these parts, it really hurts me. As in, it makes me want to actually hurt myself or just not exist at all.
This morning my partner said something really insensitive about my chest. It was an innocent but completely insensitive question. He asked what it feels like when 'they' hang and 'flop around.' This sent me into a complete meltdown because not only did it voice a very sensitive issue that I have (the fact that I have breasts), but also my chest is bigger than a few years ago and it does naturally sag a little now, and will get worse in time as I get hold which is a reality that is really hard for me to accept and not want to end before it can exist.
I had an entire breakdown about this. He KNOWS how I feel, I have talked to him in length over the years about how I feel like I am not in the right body. He has known this since the beginning of our relationship. He accepts that, but still 'forgets' all the time and makes comments about my 'breasts' (I've asked him why I want him to refer to it as my chest), or my vagina, like when I am on my period or what it feels like for me when we have sex. He is a stupid, curious idiot, who I have tried to patiently explain how questions like that remind me and solidify this problem I have with myself, and he always says he understands but then slips up again…
Today, the way he worded it, was basically bringing one of the worst feelings I could have about myself to light. I struggle every single day with this. I struggle with sex (which he knows but I am working on it). I struggle with just looking at myself in the mirror. I hate everything so much. After so many years of prominently feeling like this and going to therapy for it, I don't know if it will ever change. But I blew up at him. I was uncontrollably angry. I said he was dumb and inconsiderate and that he never really remembers this one thing I asked him to be more mindful about. I don't just go up to him and rub his insecurities about his dad and brother out of the blue or ask insensitive questions about what it feels like being a failure at everything he does (what he thinks about himself, he is very insecure, but I think he is always doing his best and I support him with my entire heart). I would never, ever want to make him hurt like that. But he absentmindedly hurts me like this so much…
We both had to go to work. He couldn't even look at me and just said sorry. I said 'sorry' doesn't make me unhear what he said. I feel like I am crazy, that maybe we should just end it so things like this can't happen anymore, where I get upset at him for hurting me unintentionally. But it gets SO BAD for me every time he does this. I explain it, he says he understands, but then a while later it happens again…
I had a really bad ED when I was a teen because my body was developing to be more female. Right now I just want to stop eating again so my chest will be flatter and there will just be less of me. I hate this so much. I wish I was not this way. I don't know what to do.

I think it's cool enough they shot a lot of the scenes in Poland. You can't expect a show by an American company for mostly American/global audience do a whole white slavic cast. It's childish. Of course they have to adapt it to their own narrative, it's business. Some of you sound like cringey dude bros on fb gaming fanpages I see raging over forced diversity and muh slavness.

sure, the most likely outcome would be ethnic cleansing or the rebirth of nazi ideology, which…no, we don't want that. but if it were used "correctly" maybe we could cleanse a lot of the shitty genes we keep passing on and we could spare a shit ton of people from experiencing horrible, traumatising abuse or being born with chronic diseases and disabilities that make their lives way too inconvenient (i'm talking full body paralysis or 24/7 round-the-clock care for the rest of your life type of disability, the kind parents fear bc they know they won't be around forever). bodily autonomy is 100% a right but also we shouldn't allow it to stupid, shitty,

I even graduated from University and want to work as a teacher, but no one would take in a teacher who speaks like I do.

And then once I make one mistake I start to freak out and overthink everything and then my German gets even worse, ugh.

I'm pretty sure every native German I speak to thinks I'm legit retarded. I have bad anxiety too so I never improve my speaking because I avoid it at all costs, like the lengths I will go to avoid human contact here is honestly really pathetic. I've been trying to force myself to be better though, my roommates are natives and I used to speak English with them because I was that self-conscious but they've been helping me get out of my shell and we speak more German than English now.

My family moved to Germany when I was about 10-11 years old and at first my vocabulary was really impressive for a kid, but now to talk like a mentally challenged person at the age of 21 is just nothing but the epitome of pathetic. But hey, I believe we both will manage to overcome this stupidity one day and become fluent (again).
Wir werden es schaffen!!
I'm a really open minded and nonjudgemental person, but I'd like to avoid making any contacts on here. But thank you for the offer, really kind of you! Hope you will overcome your anxiety one day and show everyone how it's really done and make them shake in their rat boots from envy, because Anon here is on her way to become an ult godly German speaker.

My "best friend" and I are on bad terms now. I have no idea why are we were even friends.
She has this "I'm better than you" attitude. She is, and I am well aware of that, but you don't go around and act like this around a friend who clearly has mental issues!
I have been struggling with depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies for about half of my life now, been to therapy n shit. Of course I have issues with doing basic things.
At first when I told her about my depression she said that I don't have it all I feel is because I need friends. Other time she claimed depression doesn't exist, it's only for people who are too bored and lazy just to make as an excuse and be overall victim. "Suck it up and find yourself some work n shit". Now she claims that depression exists but I am being "woe is me" victim.
She's constantly talking about herself as if she's better than me. Once we got into an argument and I was feeling really bad about it. That whole day I spent thinking what I said wrong to get such a reaction from her. But I couldn't find my fault, as all I said and did was incredibly inoffensive way to say that sucks for her to be working most of the time (uni + part time job at McDicks). After she came back she acted like all is fine and dandy, and when I told her how I wanted to apologize but I couldn't find my fault, she said:
>I would never apologize to anyone, even if I was on the wrong. It doesn't do any good for me, and I don't think it would do a difference to others.
This time I was talking that I felt a lot of anxiety lately because of the need for me to get a job, as at the previous time I only lasted a month at the work because my mental health went bad and I had panic attacks for about 2 times every day. She is constantly using that to elevate herself, that she worked for so long and what I experienced while working is worth nothing because I was only working for a month. We got into argument about this, said that I'm too emotional (that's true) and how I shouldn't be, that she contains her emotions because it disturbs work (good for her to be able to do that). How I was such a spoiled baby, how my mother and grandmother were disappointed in me for only lasting a month, how I am weak and I can't stick and finish what I started, how she is so strong and doesn't need to show her emotions to others and people are trusting her more than me, how I am unreliable and she is, how she doesn't care what others think she's a bitch, yet says how people like her more than me. She legit said the whole she's better than me spiel. Called me childish when I refused to say hello to her and I didn't want to talk to her, how adults talk it out, but I think she wants me to say she's right instead of listening to my part, because the whole yesterday's argument was basically talking out. Saying it's childish for me to be angry at her because all she said is truth and I should accept it.
Honestly I used to think about her as my best and only friend, after all the bullying and alienation that I endured during school. But now I believe that my only friends are the ones that I have never met offline.
I feel really bad but I can't bring myself to be friends with her anymore, as she always invalidates my feelings.

i had these guys for a month. seeing their dead corpses in my yard was so heartbreaking. they were so sweet. they didn't deserve to die. i hate my mom's stupid fucking dog for trying to play with them and crushing the poor things. they probably couldn't move and were just laying under the scorching sun until they slowly died.
I loved them so much. They're buried now near their kiddy pool, where they liked to sit together. At least they're at rest now. I really, really miss them. There's a hole in my heart now.

>>429410>>429407You sound like a whiny baby who cowers whenever things don't go your way.
Why do you think she or the rest of us don't have those same problems? The only difference is most people can't afford to laze around and be offended because they have to work and support themselves. Your mom and grandma are right to be disappointed, and your friend is right in thinking she is better than you because she actually puts in effort to improve instead of sitting on the floor and crying about how shitty her life is. She's also not your therapist. Take a good look at how you treat others because it sounds like you only ever focus on yourself and your own problems and she's understandably fed up.

>>429516My dad threw "little" tantrums like these when he was dating my mother. My mother dismissed it. They married. My entire childhood, I witnessed him take it out on her.
Men who can't control their own emotions and refuse to recognize it as a problem will not hesitate to take it out on you instead of the cabinet at some point. It's not healthy or normal.

>>429516Anon, this won't improve if he still sees his anger as a non-issue. And even when he admits that it will still be a battle. I second what
>>429518 is saying which is basically get out unless you want this forever.
