that's why there's conflicting studies on whether porn affects how men view women. we all know it does, but there's at least one study claiming that's not the case. of course it turned out to just be a shitty little survey done in one college, but it gets touted as a "study" to mislead people into thinking it can be held against studies that have actual brain analysis and indepth data
the only
valid studies have an assload of work and take into account a ridiculous amount of factors. anything else should just be billed as a survey by amateurs, or maybe a clumsy attempt at gathering statistics where there were previously none, and nothing more. but nobody will listen to this, because it's easier and more comfortable to take skewed information as fact to confirm personal biases

abusive/
toxic/absentee white guys category.

He walks around in his little underwears covered (and I mean COVERED) in skid marks (he told my husband when there's no TP in the bathroom that he just uses his underwear???). Never washes his clothes, ok I lied, he does sometimes, but when he does they come out of the dryer sticky?? When he talks to me, his gums will randomly start bleeding. He'll eat the crud from underneath his nails. He eats food that has been sitting out on his bed over 24 hrs.

I wish I could stop being into fucked-up shit that I am into. I can get off only on the vilest things and it's so bad I don't even want to mention them anonymously. Incest is probably the mildest of them.
I get why this is, it's trauma and ample amounts of self-hatred and suicidal ideation.
But honestly I wish I could just switch it off. At this point I am ready to blow my brains out because the intrusive thoughts are only perpetuating my disgust with myself and making my "fantasies" even worse.
I wonder if you could ever just walk back from that shit, retrace your steps and pretend nothing has happened, have some normal happy vanilla romantic/sexual feelings.
Or at least become a complete degenerate who's proud of their kinks as being something unique and different, like scrots usually do.
Sure, I can get therapy, but not right now as the only free therapist my city provides me with is connected to my primary psychiatric caregiver and getting "she wants to get murdered while fucked by her dad" on my file would be pretty upsetting to my overall diagnosis.
No. 457760
>>457753I used to struggle with intrusive thoughts about self harm/suicide/sex when I was young. I've been through the therapy wringer and while i'm still fucked in other ways but dealing with them was probably the best life skill I ever got out of therapy. Here is my best advice.
please remember we are animals are we are dumb and our brains get fucked up. it isn't your fault. your thoughts aren't "you" your actions are. jerking off to them just rewards the thoughts and keeps you pavloved. it's a pretty hard thing for anyone to break out of alone and the shame just makes it worse. (not that you should be proud. just neutral.)
there are other ways to find support that aren't therapy. set a reasonable goal and take a break from sex/masturbation. find some online support groups. try dbt/cbt worksheets. just try. any little way you challenge the thoughts helps break the cycle.
I do highly recommend guided mediation vids. You can find ones about sexual trauma and intrusive thoughts specifically. I know telling mentally ill people to meditate is a meme. i can't "just meditate" for the life of me but popping on a video when im freaking out calms me down or at least distracts me long enough for shit to pass.
also don't be paranoid they won't literally write down shit in your file like that and if you want to talk without even digging in to what your fetishes actually are that's completely possible. finding ways to cope with the thoughts is way important than what they are. any therapist worth their salt won't pressure you to disclose as long as you are willing to work on the problem.

I had a same problem back in high school and first year of uni and was really bad when it came to small talk. But as I managed to find friends I realized that "be yourself" advice is actually good. It's just that it doesn't work with people you have nothing in common with.
As you start to communicate with women who have things in common with, you will gradually learn how to small talk with everyone else too. What you first need is to accept yourself and not feel inferior because you have different interests.

today at work happened something that just doesn't stop bothering me.
usually the first one to enter the lunch break room, this means that turn on all lights, open the windows for some nice fresh air and turn on the radio because you spend hours in a place of noise and other unpleasant sounds.
As mentioned I turn on the radio and today I made it a bit louder than usual because on monday (and other times as well) an older co-worker complained about the radio being on while you don't really heard anything because in the meantime people gathered in the said room, which made the radio hard to hear, but still loud enough that it was playing in the background. She then always slaps(in a really aggressive way) the radio switch off and and says that it's waste of electricity and money to have if on. Today she did the same way but it was this time so harsh the way she did it and then she stood there while making her coffee saying: "See, nobody really notices when it's on or off it was so quiet!". At the same time everybody turned around to her because they wondered why the music went silent and she says: "Anybody wants to hear it?", before anybody could answer she proceeds with:"Just as I thought, nobody wants to hear this noise".
She then always joins her friend, which usually always complains that the radio is too loud. Then they sit there and talk the loudest in the room about trash reality tv and shit on facebook in the then awkward silence.
I just like to have this music in the background because I feel that everybody can just enjoy themselves and is not bothered to be forced to listen to some other peoples talk, which everybody will listen to when the radio is off or just hear the news for a weather update. I do it for idk how many years and always try to make it as loud as some nice background noise so you won't feel like in a church when it's all quiet idk I will still continue with it, no matter if she has a bad day again or nah. The again, she will retire really soon so it's not worth being angry about I guess lol

I don't know if there are some bisexual feelings awakening in me or I just hate men too much. Like, I don't actively hate men but I do distrust them and I'm disappointed in them.
I don't feel intensely sexual about women, but there are some girls I'd die to kiss. Also, if a cute girl wanted to kiss me, I think I'd do it even without really knowing her (I really want to kiss someone - but I wouldn't kiss a random man, ever). I think I'd even go home with a girl… when I imagine having ONS with a woman, I am willing, and I'd gladly be like - please teach me, show me what to do. I'm a virgin and there's a guy I'm talking with, and even though I'm very attracted to him, the thought of having sex with him is super stressful to me and I'm anxious to even admit I'm a v. While when imagining it with a woman, I wouldn't be wary.

A lot of people are not going away from latinamerica to better themselves or their lives but to make their host country more like Latin America and behave just liked they behaved back home, if you know how things are like in latino countries and, sadly, how many latin americans are like when it comes to abusing the system not caring for law and authority you know that the first world standards of living should not be taken for granted and they have the right to preserve them.
If your neighbors are illegals that are behaving in an uncivilized manner and committing other crimes and ruining the neighborhood the right thing is to call the law on them so they can take care of it. Someone behaving well would not stand out anyway and you would not have to know if they are illegal or not and this would not even be a problem, but if they are wrongdoing and neighbors do nothing they are only calling for it to get worse and eventually they will loose their neighborhood and turn into a favela.

I am so tired of being ugly and fat. I've got PCOS, which makes trying lose weight a fucking NIGHTMARE. I can't go out with my friends because they all always want to go get food I can't have without gaining fucking 10 pounds just from looking at it.
They're all pretty average to small and they're all (imo) really pretty. We're a mixed group of alt fashion nerds who sort of congregated together.
So in a group of about 5 pretty punk/goth girls I'm the fat, ugly goth. It sucks so much. It's been bothering me more since I realized just… how ugly I am? Out with friends just walking around/window shopping, they constantly get compliments from the shop employees, or from other customers.
Not to mention I'm not even aesthetically nice fat- I've got huge knees and deep hip dips instead of at least rounded out hips, huge ankles, fat hands.
Even if I manage to lose some, it always comes back.

It annoys me how many entitled shits from western countries claim to be communists or support communism when they have no idea how it fucking works and that it was a disaster and it could never be applied as in theory (marx and engels) because it has already been consumed as a political ideology. I hate capitalism as well but as someone that lives in a post-communist country capitalism and democracy are still much better than communism and the way it was applied, only we know what atrocities our parents and grandparents had to go through and communism affects us and will affect the upcoming generations as well since the government and public services still work in a very communist, corrupt and bureaucratic way.
Most people that were born in countries that weren't communist at some point can't understand the struggle the people living in communist regimes had to go through their parents had job options, freedom of speech etc etc. I've never met anyone from a post-commie country claiming to support communism unless they're like 80 years old and had some sort of important function within the communist party back then. Most of the youth is actually terrified at the thought of communism since their parents would tell them horror stories from the soviet era.

This kind of negative thinking is also part of the depression and mood swings caused by PCOS, therefore keep up good habits fighting it. Fasting is a very important part, as there are multiple scientific studies confirming the positive effect of fasting on several kinds of mental illness, including depression. You will look better, have more energy and most importantly, you will feel confident about yourself no matter how you currently look like. Talk to your doctor if you have any health concerns before going full keto / fasting, better be safe than sorry.
Apart from that I think you sound like a really lovely person, and you are most probably many years younger than I am, so go out and make something good out of your life, enjoy your youth! Do the best you can, let go of what you can't change. If you make an extra effort, everyone else usually notice though they don't comment on it, they will think highly of you.
You might think it's unfair and a lot of hassles but in the end, heros are made by the paths they choose… not the powers they are graced with. <3

Sports, on the other hand… finding a physical activity you actually have fun doing and want to improve at is a game changer. Suddenly you've got goals and a hobby and being seen as attractive becomes less important, regardless of how the exercise impacts your body.

Yo I‘m sick of pretending to believe my friends actually care about whatever new news. Like the forest fires, they would lament on how terrible it was, link petitions and whatever non-news that was some minor update on it. It was the same with the notre dame fire, like "oh noooo we went there and saw that", I mean, of course they didn‘t actually donate, and once it was out of the news cycle it wasn‘t mentioned again!
And for the forest fires, I linked other, larger forest fires going on, like in Siberia. "oh that‘s terrible" and NO mention of it again, no investigating that or the scope of it. Just reposting those new amazon fire links because that‘s the fucking topic du jour.
Speaking of, one thing that REALLY fucked me off was when I bought something off of a popular company and mentioned it. "oh, you purchase things on there? they‘re a terrible company! Unethical practices, work conditions etc. I saw it on twitter".
I mean, I WORKED THERE. I needed the income desperately and I worked long nightshifts at their warehouse and it was back breaking and inhumane. I was injured because I was instructed to do something despite my protests of it being unsafe, and they didn‘t have any supplies to treat it in the med room. The managers or operation of things fucked up and I was given the blame for it. Ridiculous demands or comments made by managers and no way do have solid proof because phones etc were banned. A viciously competitive environment between workers because of the false promise of a full time job. If you were late or off, no matter the circumstance 3 times, you were fired no questions. I almost had a mental break and I TOLD my friend this at the time. I said that if this is what working conditions were like in the west, I dread to think how it was elsewhere. I watched documentaries and looked into it myself, no big news scandal needed, and I informed them at the time, too. I did my best to not support the company, but sometimes they were the only place I could get what I needed.
Of course, the personal experience and investigation their friend made to deem the company unethical wasn‘t enough. Noooo, they needed fucking twitter outrage so they could spout off and feel morally superior to anyone who did patron that company. Despite the fact that they did it plenty in the past, AFTER I told them what a shitty company it was.
I was about to make a bitter comment about how there just needs to be some fresh scandal on twitter about nestle so they can hear me about that, but the thing is that even after the big news blowup…nothing comes of it!! It‘s just sending links, signing online petitions, cooing to each other about how terrible and awful it is and forgotten once the news coverage decreases.

>>458072Exercise sucks until you find something you like. I enjoy team sports and there's the social aspect but I haven't joined any clubs in a while with moving and I conditioning takes ages.
I've been doing low impact stuff like yoga and stretching to improve flexibility. I honestly would recommend that. You don't need to measure weight or inches, you are just pacing yourself and improving every stretch by working on form. Improving flexibility will strengthen your muscles and improve how you carry yourself. I cannot tell you the joy I felt the first time I touched my toes with ease I could never do that shit in highschool and I was captain of a sports team lol. It strengthens your core which even helps with your gait and everyday walking. You'll notice your stamina go up and the best part is stretching and yoga isn't they energetic compared to running etc, so it feels less work.

My parents had to wait in line 4 hours at 6 in the morning for bread and milk, they couldn't buy anything from the stores because there were no imported goods they had to choose between 2 types of soda and chocolate, my grandmother had 2 illegal abortions where she almost died, my great grandfather that was a writer rotted in jail and was tortured because the communist party decided his books spread anti-communist propaganda.

It really sucks watching all of your former friends come together and stay tight knit while you watch on the sidelines, or to just watch people who you never thought would leave your side just suddenly… disappear one day. My "main" group of friends was constantly changing as I grew up- the group of people that I thought I'd spend forever with kept changing before my eyes. As an adult, I'm very fortunate to have a handful of highschool friends still reach out to me a few times a year, but it does sort of sting to see them with a bigger group of our friends having not been invited.
Even my most recent college friends who I really trusted and thought we would be ~*~*friends forever*~*~ with just dwindled down to almost no one. It might be a while until you find someone who stays by your side. I'm very grateful to my best friend for staying and changing with me, but I can only hope she'll continue to do so.

I've put it together that I was depressed and had anxiety as a kid/teen (at the very least… I might have deeper issues but I'm still scared to go to a professional), but totally ignored it because I grew up during the rise of 'depression culture' and didn't want to be THAT person…
My family/home life was the source of my depression, and having it since so young, I've been unable to form meaningful or lasting friendships as a kid/teen. I've also been this way for so long that people I'm currently close-ish with expect me to be like this, they don't know how bad my mental health really is because I've always been like this. I'm not sure if I even know how bad it is, every day is a new surprise in finding out just how mal-adjusted I am. I have improved, and it makes me sad that I'm finally starting to understand things that I couldn't see while deep in it.
There were a lot of things I struggled to understand because I was already dead inside in elementary school. How do I carve out a personhood for myself as a mid 20s adult? I feel like I have no identity, because I spent so much time in my youth dissociating. Is this depersonalization?: I finally became comfortable seeing my name in print and feeling like it refers to me FINALLY, THIS YEAR.
But now I'm starting to understand how people who seem happy and successful in life can just suicide seemingly out of the blue. I'm happier and have a better perspective and more hope than ever, and I still constantly think about ghosting everyone and disappearing (barely a step up from suicidal).
Is there somewhere I can connect to other people or stories from those without pre-trauma identities? I know I should just go to a professional, but I still haven't accepted my issues as valid enough to do so.

If it's advised by the doctor then you should probably consume those shakes, just in case it's relevant to the predicted healing process or anesthetic. Try mixing them with as little water as possible and standing close to the faucet, force yourself to shot and swallow as much of it as possible and then immediately stick your head under the tap to drink as much water as possible to get rid of the taste. It will taste worse but you can get it over with faster. You can also contact your doctor to see if there is anything else you're allowed to consume to take the after taste away.

As for the shakes, whenever I have to drink nasty stuff I'll usually opt for a straw so that I can shove it back as far as possible and then drink so it goes straight down my throat.

Had a really really good day today and I honestly can’t have good days because it ends with me crying over how depressing my day to day life is and how rarely I have opportunities to feel happy. All I did today was walk around my university with my best friend and act dumb and be loud and walk around the forest near by and eat lunch, but it was such a good time the weather is so nice right now and i’m just thinking tomorrow i have to go back to my boring job stuck in a dark office to get out tired and late at night and always miss the day and it’s just a cycle. I never really get to do anything but work and it’s taken over my whole life since i was a teenager and i never really got to enjoy or have much fun. At this point having good days just ends up badly for me since I just always end up wanting for it not to end and having to go back to my normal life. And that leads to me realizing why I don’t have fun is because i’m not attractive enough to get invited places and overall have a bad personality. I feel like i’m rambling but I don’t have a good way to put it into words.

No. 458441
>>458387i don’t think it can be cured 100% since there’s no guarantee that you keeping symptoms in check will mean that they’ll be in check forever, but it can be treated. mood stabilizers definitely help but won’t alleviate everything. bpd is unfortunately one of those things you really need to put in the legwork to get results out of. if you don’t have a therapist, there are a lot of dbt exercises you can find online that’ll help… they’re all really boring and repetitive but they do work.
i used to have angry outbursts too, and the trick is stopping yourself from yelling because yes, it’ll feel good to react in the moment but it does more damage than that temporary relief will give you. if your outbursts happen around other people, remove yourself from the situation for a few minutes and either come back when you’ve naturally calmed down or once a dbt exercise has helped you. it’ll take time, but you’ll get the hang of it.
i won’t lie to you and say i’m completely better. i’ve been casual about my “recovery” for many years and the core worries i have from having bpd are still here, but you learn how to manage it.
a thing i like to do is write down your entire train of thought to see how it got from point A to point Z within a matter of seconds; it helps point out how unrealistic it is. also if you have family or friends you can rely on, it helps to ask like “hey is x actually happening or am i overreacting?” and they’ll tell you honestly. 9/10 it will be bpd logic. self-help books on bpd are also very helpful. i’d go to your local bookstore and look through them to see which one works best for you.

my boyfriend and I are at the age where marriage and kids are valid to discuss and he does often but he'll still do dumb shit like make an appointment without checking if it's on a day he has work. he'll say, "i'm not like you!" as if it's not basic common sense to check things like that. especially in his case where the appointment is really important and hard to make and his work schedule is strict and practically impossible to rearrange. he should've told him his free days but instead he just said, "ok." to the earliest appointment then got mad when i told him that was on a day he has work. while he can fix it it still frustrates me and makes me second guess settling down with him when he still struggles with many common adult basics like this.

I feel like I'm suffering from major imposter syndrome with my second language. I've been learning it for six years (almost seven) and moved to the country where it's natively spoken to take an advanced language course six months ago so you'd think I'd be near fluent but I'm so not. I don't understand how I'm both fairly advanced and yet so fucking clueless at the same time. Some things I can understand really well (or do I? can't even fucking tell) and other things I'm a fumbling dumbass with.
Plus the whole six months I've been living here I've avoided human contact as much as possible because conversations give me anxiety, which only makes my problem worse because speaking has always been my weakest skill and I'm not doing anything to help improve it by avoiding conversations, but I still keep doing it and continue to sound like a retard when I speak.
I moved to this country for uni and my exam to prove sufficient language skills so I can enroll and start my studies is on Monday. I have not studied at all. Part of me is incredibly anxious that I'll fail, but part of me is weirdly zen. I need to get a C1 level result to pass, and on both official mock exams held by the uni I scored at a C2 level. So I guess I should be fine, but at the same time, am I really a fucking C2 speaker? There's still so much that I don't know so how can I be C2?!?! I can't help but feel that I'm just one of those people who's good at taking tests but doesn't actually know the material so when I start my degree in the fall I'll humiliate myself.

There's a guy in my online friend group who keeps posting his incredibly shitty porn drawings on our Whatsapp chat. They look like if a middle schooler with learning disabilities tried to copy Shadman (at least he only draws women who are clearly adults and none of that loli shit). He openly admits that he uses hentai as reference instead of actual pictures of real women, and goddamn it really shows. Broken spines, impossible "thicc" proportions, tits starting at the collarbones, vaginas positioned way too front. Not to mention the weird anime-inspired faces, they look exactly like what every little preteen weeb used to scribble on their notebooks at school.
No one else in the group seems to be bothered by them. On the contrary, they comment on them positively, give pointers and requests, congratulate him on "improving". I don't know if they're just being nice or if they actually think he's talented. One time I straight up said how shitty I thought they looked, and I got called whiny because they're "unrealistic on purpose!". He's been feeling "creative" for the past few days, posting at least 15 different tentacle porn drawings. It's not really worth starting any fights over so I just try to ignore it, mute the chat and hope no one says anything important in between the cumbrain flood.

Talked with my bf about it and turns out he’s pretty creeped out about it too. Said the guy who talked about wanting to fuck her probably was just drunk and being stupid but he will talk with him about it later.
The other guy who’s dating the seventeen year old is just a dick altogether. Tried to get me involved in a threesome with them before and keeps making weird sexual jokes about me. Even got his gf to randomly french kiss me before while she was drunk and I was just chilling and minding my own business. Been talking to her lately though and I think she will probably break up with him as soon as she graduates, so at least theres that I guess

>>458610dunno anon, languages are weird. English is my second language and I've studied it since 1st grade so like age 7. I passed 2 different English proficiency tests at C2 level at age 17, got 97% on one of them even, and was widely regarded as the most competent student English-wise in my school so you could say I felt proficient as fuck. After that, I moved to UK for uni reasons and now, looking back on my English when I was 17, it feels like I was a bumbling idiot with a lexicon of 150 words barely able to hold a conversation, despite having evidence against that in the form of my exam results.
From the time you've spent on it and your past test results I'd say you probably are C2 speaker, just more self-aware/conscious than 17 year old me lol, Dunning-Kruger and that.
Not sure if my anecdote was insightful in any way but I do highly recommend going out of your way for that person to person interaction, I fell like talking with people around me in these 4 years has helped me much more than the majority of formal schooling I have received

Yeah i would just drop 100 on this if I had disposable income like he does. At first I was going to buy a VR set that costs 160 just to please him but he wanted me to buy a 300 dollar one which turned me off to the whole thing, now he's back to wanting me to buy the 160 one.

I can’t think myself out of this depression. I can’t be bothered to do the things to unNEET myself and I feel really, really stuck. Right now I’m sleeping during daylight (because I don’t want to live) and eat like one meal a day due to the timing, leeching off my single mum. I can’t seem to commit to the changes I do in therapy because there’s no one there who’s ‘with’ me - like I can’t do it for myself but I can do it for another person if the situation is just right. I don’t fly into panic attacks if I’m outside for too long but I’m like hard wired to resist going into social situations soo that’s why I’m a NEET. It’s not like I want to stagnate and spend all day online but it’s so much easier than being vulnerable out there. Even meeting up with a trusted friend leaves me so exhausted I end up messing up self care for the next 2 weeks. Jfc I’m such a womanchild wasting my prime years - I still don’t want pity, I need a way to trick myself into getting better because I’ve consciously given up and can’t seem to stick to it even if I want to (and I do). My plan was to meet up with my only two (male) friends more and more and "use" them when they’re willing to walk around job hunting with me but one of them is MIA in some unhealthy relationship bs and the other is moving so I don’t have a ‘safe’ person’s presence to stop an internal freak out. Earlier this year I tried to be defiant and fight my depression again and now I’m just resigned, not looking at job sites and I feel no happiness from anything. It’s really hard to change me when I’ve been online so long that my self-image has always been "ugly duckling weirdo, exactly who you’d think lurks imageboards" and that’s just the tip of the iceberg about my esteem issues. I’m stuck in my coffin

I don't talk to my mom because she's a toxic and self-centered narcissist. I've cut her out of my life and I'm emotionally better for it.
Yet my new bf teases every now and then about her and I really don't like it.
"You gonna talk to your ma?"
"Oh you better not let her see your room if you gotta clean it lol."
I explained how fucking horrible she was to me in case he forgot-again-but he needs to understand I'm keeping that bitch at a major distance. She's never coming over to my domicile and I will only ever speak to her in brief over urgent formal matters. She is not to be in on my personal life ever again, she's lost that privilege fifty times over for the shit she pulled with me. She's an emotional abuser and a social vampire. It's not funny.
He apologizes after he gets me going and tells me "don't stress" but it's like, then stop bringing her up because you know it bothers me then hm?
It's like he's one of those people who half doesn't believe that adult children have no good reason to cut off contact with their biological parents.
Or he could be projecting his fears, because he has a teenage son from a previous relationship and maybe he's scared that the son will cut him off for a reason too, although I can't imagine why because it does seem like he tries to be involved without being overbearing.
I think it's the latter because bf had an estranged relationship with his parents as well. His biological mom had nothing to do with him and his dad raised him but was very distant. It makes me feel bad for him but he seriously can't expect me to make amends to abusive people who I don't trust.

I’ve been feeling horribly anxious and really down recently, but whenever I try to talk about it with my Mum, she manages to completely bend the conversation so she can talk about her current problems for 15+ minutes. Like, when I say I’ve been feeling really sad, she will go on to talk about her own depression and how that affected her, and ‘oh, there was this thing at work making me feel upset, let me explain it to you in great detail—‘ that kinda thing. She’s a pro at doing this. It doesn’t help that she already talks about her problems all the time regardless, so it gets old listening to it on repeat after I’ve already comforted her many times and given advice and shit. I don’t want her to feel as if she can’t share these things with me - but that’s all I’d like in return, for her to comfort me and give me advice and just, listen to me vent my feelings for a bit. But instead I bottle up how I’m feeling, and nod along to her problem I’ve listened to for the 30th time.

Tell your GP all of this and ask for help. I don't know your country, but there should be some kind of social program for low-income that can help. If you're in school, ask for a guidance counselor about the best way to move out. If your mom is that out of touch with reality, tell them that. Tell them you don't feel safe.

My first 3 1/2 years at college weren’t fun. I feel like I never really got to fully enjoy my time on campus and it’s been bothering me lately as I am looking at universities to transfer to now that I’m almost done with my general education requirements.
I know it’s a stereotype but I never had this positive experience like so many of my peers and professors brag about, as I am in a legacy school district where everybody knows everybody else and 90% of our professors transferred to the uni down the street. I haven’t gotten all this unconditional support from faculty like so many others I’ve known, the students self-segregate in their little cliques so good luck making friends (even one of my professors mentioned this), and all in all I feel like I’ve just floated along without really living in the moment.
I wish I could go back in time and change my major to something else, as I’ve done some serious thinking and I realize that my major, though I’m good at it, isn’t necessarily my desired career path after looking into my options. I originally chose it because I let some people in my life kowtow me into thinking that anything but strict Humanities or Science was “stoopid”, and that there are “no jobs” for anything but the standard classic shit. And as much as I enjoy reading, research, and other intellectual pursuits, the thought of spending another 10+ years in university writing papers about abstract fluff that has no interest outside of academia and giving lectures to disinterested students is not appealing to me anymore.
I just want to feel alive again, like that feeling you get when you haven’t seen the sun in a long time and you wake up to blue skies. I haven’t felt like I’ve been truly living in the moment in a few years. I’m always anxious of the future and unable to enjoy my present. I’m thinking of jumping the gun and applying to a fine arts program at a few universities in my state and abroad, even though I’m anxious for the inevitable “Art is useless” lecture I’ll get from friends and family.

There’s a really SJW-y user on an RP site I go to and I was really surprised she wasn’t a gender special but she still called herself ‘queer’ when she’s a self described cis woman (nvm she says she’s a demigirl now)
The real meat and potatoes is that she keeps moaning about fatphobia and the lack of fat characters, she’s opened several separate threads months apart just to vent essays about being fat and being oppressed which are of course all vague high school stories. Like, girl, no one is obligated to make their OCs obese here and I know your constant whining is pity fishing. You’re not brave or daring for making an OC ugly.
Most of her characters are conventionally attractive anyway no matter what their weight and the same bottom heavy body type. Hmmm…
She’s said nobody wants to RP with her overweight characters but I think them being fat is the least of her problems. RP is about fun and escapism, that’s why most characters are healthy weight and attractive. While I wouldn’t shit on someone for being a size 20 irl it’s a weird choice to make when designing a character and all of hers just reek of cringe. I checked out her OC profiles when she made another thread about nobody going near her fatties and it was so uncomfortable to have to read their exact body shape, their ‘squishy thighs’, ‘soft gut’ and whether or not they shave or what they do with their pubes. She ends up sounding like the fetishists she complains about. Their backstories are also always something like ‘grew up in an abusive home, got molested, now she’s free and experimenting with her sexuality’ with a femdom bent. Who would want to engage with a whiny dangerhair who will use them as part of her coping mechanism? Nitpick but she also commissions the same bland artist over and over for her works who draws everyone with dick sucking lips and I lol’d one one of the pieces for a character had a caption that said "note that the lips are not canon".
The site tends to be quiet and moves slowly so she’s more visible than on a place like Tumblr. Her posts are fucking insufferable but blocking her doesn’t block her content so I still have to see ‘the struggle of plus size OCs’ etc when I’m there to RP. God, if you’re fat, either care or don’t care about it, and if you do care just lose the weight instead of dragging people into it.

For all they screech about fatties being pigeonholed in fiction, they always write their fat characters in stereotypical ways, or flat out write masturbatory self-inserts that no one wants to read about.
I crave some unconventional characters in my media, but I know that the people who are the most vocal about it are the worst advocates because they're coming from places of insecurity.

I invited my mom to my wedding, but almost immediately after she realized the date (its on oct 31st) she freaked out. I tried to explain that my partner is pagan, that its literally just a date, that the reception and ceremony wouldnt involve anything blasphemous, and if anything its just going to be autumn themed. She expressed that she’d be deeply uncomfortable but would attend anyway.
I know my mom obv. When she’s uncomfortable about something, she ensures everyone around her is aware of it. She still calls my gf my “friend” since the last time she freaked out over our relationship half a decade ago. I was concerned about how that might effect my wedding day.
I sat on it for a few days and started bubbling up with a bunch of other thoughts/feelings, so I tried to bring them up to her via text (she steamrolls me over the phone) and she accused me of being my fiancee trying to break us apart
I essentially told her that if attending our wedding would make her uncomfortable, then I would rather her not attend for the sake of being there. I would understand as the reception isnt whats important to me, just the union itself. I didnt uninvite her, but I did let her know that I didnt want to feel like I was walking on eggshells as the wedding will be intimate and Im already nervous about the event. That if she could have a good time, even just an okay one, then thats all that mattered.
Then she freaked out again, called her beliefs “spiritual nonsense”, then ironically went on an aggressive rampage about about being a woman of God and the bible, etc. She refuses to message me anymore because she thinks I’m my partner texting her, then went on about how my relationship with my her is perfect and that my gf is trying to ruin.
Im thinking about calling her later to explain myself, but now I regret inviting her at all. Our family history was unfortunate and we never got a chance to bond. It hardly feels like she’s my mother because she just wasnt present in my life in any way that mattered and sometimes she was a part of the problem. I dont know how to talk to her because she just steamrolls right over me and I deal with it cause I learned better than to talk back.
Now I feel like an asshole for making her upset, but now I feel like this was probably the last straw. Im tired of holding out for a mom and Im tired of the way she speaks to me and treats us. Im sick of her trying to roleplay my mom instead of acknowledging our history and our relationship for what it is and actually address our issues so that we could remedy it and move on.
So I dont see the point in trying anymore when I got along just fine without her. I feel guilty for saying it, but it hardly feels like a loss anyway.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend of several years and as the days past I find myself being more and more angry. Being able to exist without the pressure of dating him lingering on me, and realizing how he held me back and treated me. I'm pissed, I'm exhausted, and I feel hateful. I have never met another person in my life was so unable to function on even a basic level. Everything was about him and he found a way to make literally every. little. thing. in our day a problem.
I wish I had someone to talk about it to but I don't want to burden my friends with hours (hours) of complaining about shit he did. I don't want revenge. I just want people to know the shit I had to go through, and to vent what I was so quiet about for so long. I spent a few hours opening up about it to one of his friends who's also on the breaking point recently, but that's it. It was so eye opening, especially since he had held us back from talking about him for so long, to hear inconsistencies in the stories he was telling us, and to learn about past patterns of his. He's a narcissist, a manipulator, and a selfish person through and through.
He's made our breakup about himself and only himself and how he's a victim and I'm thoroughly fucking enraged about it. It's disgusting. The amount of time I threw away in my life to watch over him, guide him through his own emotions and issues he caused, please him, and keep him happy, and he has the fucking nerve to run around saying how awful I am. I hate it.

>>460373>>460373Are you me anon? I'm going through a similar situation, I was with him throughout important years of my life in which he did not allow me to do things that would have gotten me far. Even when I tried discussing it with him and how he held me back he went on to make it about himself and how I was hiding things and I wasn't allowed to vent to him if I ever had a bad day or anything or else he would go on a tangent blaming me, accusing me of things, and just taunting me until I was on the brink of suicide.
don't give him time. don't give him thought. don't give him anything. We can take this time to focus on ourselves and rebuilding the lives they caused us to lose. Don't let pieces of shit affect you like this and they'll realize it when we are living our dreams and they're miserable and looking for some other girl to abuse.

Probably because she drank your kool aid about how 'finances must be separate' and 'men aren't obligated to help financially.'
>what about lesbians?I dunno anon, what about them? If one lesbian has more advantageous skills and a better career, does she owe her partner nothing in hard times because 'finances are separate and no one is obligated to anything' and would she be okay with her partner selling her nudes to straight men for the money? One person has the means yet doesn't act, or gives off the impression that she'd be stingy. That's a pretty fucked dynamic, imo.

In any case, I think I'll throw my dice in dating the man who can provide as opposed to dating the man who I fear I cannot go to for financial aid without resorting to sex work. So far it feels good to make my own money working a normal job while being spoiled by my guy, and knowing if I ever needed help he'd be there for me.

What you're feeling right now is understandable because you feel like he should be with you when you need him, and he's not. That's how you tell when someone genuinely loves you. When things get difficult and they need to make a decision, do they pick you or do they go fuck around with their friends and avoid the situation.
I'm not sure how serious the promise was but clearly it was very important to you, and if he's going to be dipping like that you don't need him in your life.

I had a relationship where I basically cried regularly over him and didn't realise I'm not even a 'crying person' but the unfairness of how he treated partners (turns out it was a pattern of his with all his exes being 'crazy' had driven me to despair.

Can anyone offer advice?
I've been really good friends with a guy from my uni. We met on the first week of lessons 2 years ago and instantly hit it off. He is really cool and we have a lot of fun together. We can talk about politics, memes and life and we share many common interests. Let me emphasize this, I love him as a friend but I have zero attraction towards him. He isn't ugly but I don't like him appearance wise. Plus when I met him I was in a relationship so I didn't try anything.
He got a girlfriend as of last year. I met her and she is cool in general lines. However you can call her a basic bitch though and that'd be fine if she really didn't try so hard to "fit in" with the kind of communication me and him have. Examples include opening a shitpost page (right after i did) while her posts literally make no sense and she just copies meme templates without understanding them and you can smell the tryhard from 100 miles, trying to change her own political views in order to seem "woke" to my friend while she is your stereotypical Christian Stacy, trying too hard in general and ending up looking cringy instead of owning what she is and not seeing it as a competition.
Ever since they got together, I have hung out with just her multiple times, since I don't find her generally too bad when she is on her own, however I really don't get to hang out with just my friend anymore cause he brings her everywhere. It's really hard when they are two completely different people to include them both in a subject and not feel like I'm leaving the other one out.
What's extra annoying is that she acts like a needy baby most of the time, for example if me and him go to some concert that she won't like she will tag along but will act all pouty and nag us to go back, or if me and him start a convo she doesn't understand she will again, act pouty and say we are excluding her.
Again, there is no secret crush here on the works, I am just really tired of being the third wheel and want my friend back.

>>460815I was in your shoes when I was younger and let me just say it’s not going to get better but if you find someone who you’re actually compatible with, you’ll stop caring. My version of this feeling stemmed from insecurity. I was always giving so much in the hopes it would get the guy to stay with me, to be faithful, to give me the same attention I gave him. But overcompensating only made me feel more miserable and worthless as time passed. It was like that with almost every guy I loved, and looking back it was cyclical, I’d give and give, he’d pull away, I’d ask myself how dare he, start to resent him, rinse repeat until he actually hated me. I honestly thought I was doomed to that until I met my husband. Once you find someone you can feel at home with, you don’t feel the need to over-love them, and gradually, you stop worrying that they don’t love you enough. Sure, I have days where my husbands working and and I’m lonely but instead of worrying he’ll invest his time with someone else, I remind myself of how insecure other guys made me feel, and how different my husband is. I hope you find someone who also encourages you to let go of insecurity and immaturity, because that did the trick for me.
No. 460912
>>460837You have a refusal to accept that your friendship has changed, and that friends obtaining partners does (validly) change the dynamics, particularly when said friends are the opposite sex.
Tbh just be grateful you still get to see your friend, because most women would not entertain their boyfriend's female friend hanging around so much and causing them to be the third wheel. You're lucky she's wanting to be a pickme cool gf because it sounds like she is bothered by the social dynamic when all three of you try to hang out deep down.
You're young students, it's literally destined that you will be cringey and tryhard. Ex. a shitposting page, really? Lol. Regardless of what you think of her, your friend likes her enough to date her. If you don't want to ruin things, you'd better realize the boundary politics that's happening here. Try not to step on her toes too much because it could cause your friend to distance himself if she goes back to him to bitch and he decides his romantic relationship is the one worth salvaging.
No. 460925
>>460908NTAYRT but thank you for your post. I related a lot to constantly giving so much to try and get men to stay, and every time they would settle down for someone else but never me.
My most recent girlfriend was the first person I felt safe and secure with. It felt weird to have someone love and adore just me as much as I did them after going through so many one-sided loves for so long. She did end up breaking up with me because she was afraid that I would constantly give and sacrifice and end up resenting her for not returning those feelings, so while I'm still sad that she's not in my life anymore, at least she had the decency to not drag me along.
It sucks, but at least now I know what it feels like to genuinely be cherished by someone and I'm not settling for second rate pieces of shit anymore. OP, I hope you'll find someone who will treat you right.

>inb4 Braco told me this place is moded by scrots
After the thing with the gender critical thread and rad fem thread happened I got kind of disappointed in a way even tho I don't see myself as a radfem and the discussion about troons tires the fuck out of me, I would sometimes go to the rad fem thread and I could really understand them and most of the points they made were based in reality. It made me happy to see a place where men get shitted on constantly because on any other online space women are the ones being shitted on and if they try to stand up they're going to literally be called crazy. This place felt like karma after reading what men write about women on 4chan and thinking some of them come here and probably read all the stuff women have to say against them.
I remember that when I started browsing lolcow 3-4 years ago this place definitely had a male demographic because there was this thread where anons would post drawing of themselves with some pieces of information and a portion of the posters were male. I wonder if there's still men here browsing /ot/ and larping as female. It's quite unlikely because I can't see any man putting up with so much man-hating. This also made me wonder about the mods of lolcow, it would be really funny and fucking weird and surreal if one of the mods is actually a tranny. Can you imagine that? Women coming to lolcow, a place where they can finally vent their frustration regarding transgendered men and just men in general and one of the mods is actually a tranny themselves. I have no fucking idea who hosts this place or who mods it but I'm 100 percent sure that there is at least one man involved in the moding and he may even be the boyfriend of a farmhand.

What do I care if men can't post here?
You seem to imply there's some kind of anti-men space created by a few recently, when actually this is a culture that was generated over years of dealing with maleposters on this site and fostered by their shitty attitudes when they were allowed to speak.

I am so tired. I can't connect with anyone, going to university has become a struggle and depressing. I feel so lonely.

I want someone who's close. All my past friendships has been draining, I had to give so much. No one seems interested in me, only vampires.
I have a lovely boyfriend, he's my best friend and is everything I love in a person, but it is not enought, of course. No one should rely on only one person, and even it does not bother him, it bothers me.
How do I meet and be friends with anyone if everywhere I go I see unapproachable persons with their already closed groups or people who's plenty uninterested in me because I'm not cool enought? I used to go out, meet a lot of people, but everything was so ephemeral and wasn't more than just promises of meeting again never fulfilled.

I left mine open and a girl came in and commented on my posters and we hit it off (didn't become best of friends, but it was nice when we found out we had a class together and would walk to class and grab breakfast on occasion!).
Don't be upset if you don't make friends right off the bat. It might take a while to find your people. Once classes start, you can try talking to people in class. I made good friends with a girl I sat next to in my language class because I just asked 'is this the XX class taught by professor XX?'! Well, we also had a lot of partner work so we were forced to talk but we got along really well so it worked out! I didn't make friends in every single one of my classes, but it's definitely possible! If you notice someone in multiple classes with you, it doesn't hurt to use that as a conversation starter (if not becoming friends with them, at least invite them to study! Study partners are also important!).
Join clubs, it's the easiest way to meet people who like what you like. If your school doesn't have any clubs, look into volunteer opportunities that interest you! I met a lot of my future roommates through club (we were all cosplayers so you can imagine the wreck the state of our suite was in whenever con season rolled around lol but it was an experience I used to only be able to dream of), and I met my best friend to this day because of that club. I frequented one of my professor's office hours a lot and befriended other people who would come by a lot, and also it's just great to really get to know your professors outside of class hours. He really helped me out down the line, and I still email him to this day just to talk!
Remember that there are sooo many other people just as nervous as you are!
>>461153 is right, nothing forges friendships quite like bonding over being in a strange new place. When I studied abroad, I became super close and great friends with students who went with me from my school (just that general sense of 'oh hey we sort of already know each other' really forced us together) as well as the other international students as we all fumbled and tried to navigate our way as American students in a completely foreign land. I believe in you anon, best of luck! My uni years were some of best, and I really hope you'll have a great time.
Also, I really don't like alcohol either. You'll be able to find people who don't either, or at the very least, will respect you enough to not force you to join them in drinking (if they don't, then consider it a warning that they aren't worth your time). I was always invited to house parties with friends, but just had a fun time drinking all the mixers and playing games with everyone (though most of my friends aren't heavy drinkers so I'm lucky I wasn't in a really crazy environment).

Sometimes I can’t stand my Mom. If things aren’t the exact way she wants, she retreats into a depressive state to get her own way. I know, for a fact, if I cut my hair or dyed it, or got a tattoo, she would refuse to talk to me anymore, at least for a few weeks. She wants me to look acceptable to her standards. She says I keep secrets from her, and says it upsets her when I don’t show her what I buy or what I get up to. But she fucking judges everything I do to an overwhelming degree, she will make it known if she doesn’t like something, or if she thinks you’ve spent too much on something , if it’s ugly to her. I love her but she’s so manipulative and overbearing I can’t stand it.

A stationary store/instagram was caught selling/posting designs that didn't belong to them. Others have noticed other designs belonging to other artists. Who knows how many peoples works they've ripped off? I saw it posted on twitter and said instagram page posted this as an apology. I'm so taken aback at what a fucking stupid and shitty apology this is.
The artist says they also messaged her privately, but of course they only posted it on their story (didn't even put it into a highlight) so future customers wouldn't know they blatantly plagiarize their products.
>It was an honest mistake on our side due to some miscommunication

So my crazy aunt has been staying with my family and I for the past six days uninvited and refuses to fuck off. I want to ask her wtf she won’t leave but I know if I say something I’ll get the bitch edit by other fam.
She’s been in the house since this Sunday and I am doing my best to avoid her, so thankfully I have classes during the week and run errands but it’s still annoying as fuck to look at her every time I need to go downstairs to do our laundry or get food out of the fridge.
She doesn’t do shit while she’s here, her energy is so fucking unpleasant, it’s like a dark cloud of negativity follows her everywhere. She’s constantly in the way and disrupts the family habits, turns off the whole house fan at night we keep on to ward off bugs, turns off the safety lights we keep on so that we won’t fall down our stairs in the dark, and just acts like a general retarded faggot for no reason.
I went in the guest room this morning to look for a towel that’s gone missing and also to see if she’s packing up to go…she’s been wearing the same tee shirt and pants and washing them everyday on repeat. It’s gotten so bad I didn’t care that she saw me walking out, I just want to make her know she’s overstaying her welcome. She usually stays 2 days because we are pretty boring in general, and don’t do much.
And yes, I have made comments about what’s up with her in group texts, saying that if we are going to be playing Barbie Dream House to her we need to do xyz like buy extra food, clean out the water heater so our water pressure doesn’t go down, and I know it isn’t just me that wants her to leave from our conversations, but everyone else acts like she’s going to just up and leave on her own. And it’s not like she isn’t aware she’s being annoying, since all she does is complain about her job as usual, which she only works now at for 2-4 hours, but she’s toned down the raging paranoia from a few months ago.
If she isn’t gone by Sunday I will just either confront her or the others and ask how long she is planning on staying as she’s already been in our house for a week and is becoming a nuisance.

When I was 15/16 I worked part time at a law firm, just scanning documents and putting together binders for the legal assistants. It was mostly personal injury (car accidents, slip & falls, etc.) but a lawyer took on a wrongful conviction for a murder from decades ago. So I did my job, but I think working on that file fucked me up. I'm into true crime and had seen crime scene photos before so I thought it'd be fine but… these were so much more graphic. The way she was mangled and violated is burned into my memory. Even if I didn't have to scan the photos I would've still scanned all the written documents and I had to read/skim them to make sure none of the pages got skipped by accident. I can't forget those descriptions and transcripts either.
Sometime I think about "exposing" the lawyer, becauce he's just generally a huge prick (he never once said hello to me when I worked there and I heard him yell at assistants multiple times, among other things) but I know it wouldn't really do anyone any good. I wish I said I wasn't comfortable working on that file, but it was huge so I got a lot of hours out of it. Idk, it's been years and I feel like I should just get over it, I mean the photos were black and white for god's sake, but it's like they've been colourised in my mind.

I'm a child of divorce and have a stepmum that to this day still has an issue with me seeing my dad, so I don't want to be that woman to this kid. His mum barely let's my bf see his kid. He's never late with payments and asks every week to see his son but just gets knocked back. I dropped him over to their house on Christmas morning and he phoned me 15 mins later crying saying they left to go to her mothers.
I just feel bad for the kid in situation and feel guilt I'm causing tension or he sees it that way. Kids need their parents and if they are actively trying to be in the kids life it should be welcomed.
Hope your situation improves.

>>462346>>462345I agree people love to armchair diagnose people with all the Cluster B's, especially NPD and BPD but I have seen commonalities in the people I've known with BPD - all formally diagnosed.
They were all incredibly manipulative. Every word or action of theirs was specifically calculated to get a certain response out of me, usually to get me to do something they wanted. They were all very two-faced because of this and it was hard to know where you stand with them. They all lied excessively and frequently tried to draw on pity whenever called out for it. The biggest thing they all had in common, and a huge hallmark of the diagnosis, is what would happen when I'd finally put my foot down and say it's not okay to treat me like that. They locked themselves in their room and drink a whole bottle of vodka, cut themselves, threatened to kill themselves… then you find yourself comforting them because while you hate their annoying ass, that doesn't mean you want them to die. They use their supposed suicidal ideation to draw you back in and the cycle begins again. The threats are almost always empty, and even the quieter ones will not-so-subtley find ways to guilt trip you whenever they fuck up.
BPD is pretty vague but that's the number one thing that distinguishes it - a fear of abandonment so apparently overwhelming that it drives them to extreme measures to keep people from leaving.
No. 462406
>>462350You only need 5 of these traits:
Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment, reflecting intolerance to be alone
Unstable and intense relationships marked by abrupt and extreme shifts between idealization and devaluation
Identity disturbance, seen in an unstable self-image or sense of self
Impulsivity that is potentially self-damaging in at least two of the following areas—spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating
Recurrent suicidal gestures or threats, or self-mutilation
Marked mood reactivity
Chronic feelings of emptiness
Frequent displays of inappropriate or intense anger
Stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.

>>462371>>462353"actually diagnosed", just saying, an "actual diagnosis" does not mean anything. people who have been put through the psychiatric or psychological mill know this. a 20 minute "session" and they're quick to diagnose without any peeling back of the issues that you're faulty or even ever seeing you again to figure out whether or not this behavior is simply coping or the result of even ptsd from a recently removed negative stimulus.
>>462339wrong in my case. never been diagnosed or suggested by psychs that i have bpd. i just see the way BPD is used against people in psychology and psychiatry, and specifically against women, especially ones that are coping poorly to harmful stimulus, and a MULTITUDE of reasons could cause that behavior, and there is no effort made to identify
triggers or remove people from environments that cause them to react negatively or go crazy, or prevent them from hurting themselves by entering
abusive relationships they think are normal. psychiatry and psychology is very much all about treating symptoms, pretending people are forever broken, and hoping you become pliable enough to not be a burden to everyone around you (often times when you're suffering from abuse or molestation or what have you).
i have GAD and i was told the other week by a psychiatrist "benzodiazepines are placebos, you never experienced anxiety reduction when you took it". a lot of the people in this profession are liars and bullshitters that use their authority against people they think are delusional or too retarded to notice, and i have a million different stories about my negative experiences with psychiatric or psychological professionals that make it very clear, at least in the states, they are only interested in treating symptoms. 80% of people are morons, doctors and 'professionals' are no different. it's hardly a burgeoning science because it's so tainted by authoritative assholes that are just manipulating the vulnerable.
>>462406- people tend to feel empty because life is genuinely meaningless, and when you're abused (as most with bpd are), that's doubly obvious. lots of people who are chugging along in life unperturbed by BPD feel empty because life just is empty
- young people frequently have no fucking idea who they are, and that's to be expected. especially those that are coping in response to negative stimulus and have never had an opportunity to develop without being under constant stress or emotional, financial, instability
- people tend to be reactive while being abused because their needs are being ignored or the problem is being completely ignored
- anger obviously a problem while around abuse
- abuse causes dissociation
- most young people are impulsive, especially those that are abused because they have never learned self worth as their boundaries have repeatedly been broken down by their abusers. they have never been taught self worth and have repeatedly had their trust violated and are often punished for having any self esteem or confidence
so here, just with these things, already an impulsive young person that is coping poorly through who knows what "has BPD". and to take it a step further, i would say even kids who are just going through teenage stressors can display a lot of these symptoms without abuse.
no doubt there are definitely manipulative psychos out there that are black and white but i think this shit is way overdiagnosed and is the perfect way to further victimize
victims who cope "the wrong way" (i.e., we don't want to deal with the root cause of what is causing you to act this way because it requires putting your family or boyfriend in prison, you just need to learn to suck it up better because your behavior while being abused is inconveniencing the people around you or your productivity).

I've spent the last hour or so sorting through my downloads folder and it's been such a chore. Reaction images, irl pictures, webms, movies, tv series, music files.
I just shoved it all in here for the past fourish years. I swore I did a cleanout maybe a year or so ago but I guess i didn't do a very thorough job.
I'm finally getting rid of the majority of it even if it's stuff I would've leaned to keep.
Is it weird that I feel a bit sentimental deleting most of it? It feels like a little internet time capsule. All the things I saved were in chronological order so sometimes I could guess where I was browsing and what I was doing/feeling at the time when I saved these things. Now I'm just deleting it. All the hours of viewing and collecting this shit and it might as well have never existed.

I've been in a mostly long-distance relationship with this guy for over a year. It's probably my first ever healthy relationship, and I really adore him as a person, but for the last month, all I can think about is that maybe I'm not that romantically attracted to him anymore…
When I calm down and get distracted with my stuff it gets kinda better, and I am still think able to think about him in a romantic way somewhat (although I still find PDA and couple outfits kinda cringey), but I still end up thinking about that when I'm feeling down.
I just can't bring myself to hurt him, and ditching him out of the blue would be bad for me as well, since my depressed ass is dependent on him. I don't know what to do. I'm fucking miserable.
Advice on the internet is either "Break up immediately if you ever feel like your feelings have changed, otherwise it's totally unfair to your partner!!!!" or "Toughen up, marry them and be miserable together, everyone's going to be miserable eventually, anyway". I don't really have much of a support system, and I don't know anyone who could give me a good advice. I can't make an appointment with my therapist, because he seems to be on a vacation. Not that I've had much money to spend on therapy, duh.
I feel like a fraud and a scammer. I spent so much time crying and whining about wanting someone to luv me uwu, but once I got too comfortable I grew cold. Maybe I really can't love anyone, unless they love-bomb me and abuse me in true narc fashion.

>>462596Obviously you are not going to feel especially loved/loving when it's long distance. That involves a lot of imagination.
Every piece of advice I've ever read about long distance boils down to: make a plan of when you are going to close the gap/move in together/move closer,
with dates, and actually do the plan, otherwise the relationship can't last.

It upsets me that I never got attracted to someone in real life. Only 2d guys and celebrities.
I actually never met a guy that interests me in the slightest (other than meaningless crushes when I was a teenager).
Because of my age, I brought myself to date 2 men even so.
It didn't go well. I didn't find any of them cute and we didn't get along. The first one didn't seem to have in real interests in life and barely talked. The second one got often frustrated that I didn't share his opinions and would rather get someone who agrees with his every words. It quickly became unbearable.
I waste so much time wondering if something is wrong with me, if I'm too picky. I'm happier without them, just sad that I didn't find anyone yet…

My mother convinced me to stay over at my parents house for her birthday. I don't live with them but my 26 year old neet brother does. Turns out there's nowhere for me to sleep on because they turned one of the bedrooms into a storage room. I had to sleep downstairs on a tiny sofa where i can't even stretch my legs and am in constant danger of falling over if i roll more than half a degree. Also there are mice and a ton of mosquitoes here downstairs. It's her birthday so i decided to put up with it for her.
Today i woke up to my mom telling my brother that i'm the black sheep of the family because i overslept and therefore i wasn't going to be able to go with them to morning church.
I, independent, with a job and an engineering degree from the best university of my country, i'm the black sheep. Not my neet, jobless, careerless, useless brother. This because i wouldn't go to church while my brother goes with them every sunday.
Also yesterday my dad was watching tv full volume on the living room (where i was supposed to sleep) until 3am. And this morning at 5 my mom and brother (both whom went to sleep early) were already in the living room with the tv on and loud, talking shit about me, nevermind the fact that i was trying to sleep there.
Also yesterday at 3am my dad was watching a random ass romcom and saying really disgusting shit about the female protagonist because she was getting married in white despite not being a virgin (she wasn't even wearing a veil). I'm neither married nor a virgin but he doesn't know the latter. My dad says a ton of disgusting shit about women on a regular basis, he's the type to blame rape victims for going out at night, i dread watching the news with him.
And then my parents dare to complain that i visit my boyfriend's parents more than my own…

My mom is constantly minimizing my ethnicity, and it makes me feel even more weird and alien to my culture than I already do.
She said I'm basically the same as foreigners who try to lay claim to our country just because they happened to be born there, but aren't part of the host race. I told her "I came from you" but she just said that it didn't matter and that there's just always been something "different" about me. All this because I have a reserved personality, don't talk or dress the same way as most locals, and don't really like "our" food or music.
She keeps saying that I should get a DNA test, and that there's probably all sorts of "other" floating around, despite the fact that both she and my dad are the same race (though my dad might be 1/8th something else) and from countries that are next door neighbors. The only thing that would back this up is how I looked as a baby, and the texture of my hair.
I know it's dumb from a logical standpoint, but it really makes me feel like maybe I was somehow born the wrong race. I even find myself personally identifying more with people who are multiracial, but that could easily just be some weird self-hate. It's confusing. I don't know where I fit in. At least people who are actually mixed with parents of two distinctly different races have a reason to feel this way, I have no excuse.

I'm envious my non-Euro friends all have warm, welcoming families with a single culture where they celebrate holidays and traditions together.
I'm a lone wolf who only knows her mother and father, but both of them have personality disorders. My grandfather is Native American, and he raised me in his culture, until he passed when I was really young, so I only have what little he shared and his books he left behind. My mother thinks it's ridiculous I hold on to our spirituality and I should "just accept I'm white and that's all others will see me as." My father is happy I'm trying to learn his dad's language, but doesn't wear his regalia anymore and just calls himself "German" when people ask his ethnicity (he's not).
I got screamed at by hard lefties at my college campus for cultural appropriation when I wear my grandfather's bone jewelry that's been in the family for generations. I, was unfortunate in being blonde haired and grey eyed, so they don't associate my appearance with the culture I was raised. Add insult to injury when being called an Anglo when my "English" side of the family is from Wales and my distant grandparents who came from Ireland where indentured servants.
I've also been straightening my hair for years because I got the shit beat out of me as a kid for having curly hair. Black students thought I was trying to imitate them. My mother has been shaming me for it since. All of her brothers have the same hair.

I feel guilty for not missing my deceased dog.
So about a year and a half ago, my cat died. He was adopted when he was still tiny, so I guess our bond was pretty strong. Cue his death, I still cry sometimes when I think about it long enough. It was an accident, some guy ran over him. It's been so long, but I feel like I just can't get over it.
Thing is, my dog, who had been around for longer than my cat, died a week ago, but for some reason I just don't feel anything. Like I don't care about it. With my cat it hit me almost immediately. But with my dog? I barely miss him, and I don't know why.

my new flatmate is kinda unhinged. she lived here previously and I moved in so I kinda follow her rules out of courtesy but she's so weird about some things. the most annoying one is she insists on only the heaters in our bedrooms being on, the ones in kitchen, hallway and the bathroom are off. then she also keeps both the bathroom and kitchen windows open at all times, which, while fair enough, good for the ventilation, obviously makes everything outside bedroom same temperature as outside. it is 7°C outside rn, felt like freezing to the toilet bowl just now. wonder tf she's gonna do in the winter when it gets round 0/dips into negatives.
her great argument is that she's poor and gas gets expensive if more heaters are on but like, bitch, so am I, we have roughly the same amount of income, yet I'd rather eat more tinned beans than feel like living under a bridge. she is already making me pay more of gas money on the grounds that my room is bigger, which I gave in to because I don't like being argumentative and giving a bad 1st impression and frankly idc about those extra 10£, but this is kinda ridiculous. she also hasn't told me where the boiler actually is as she "doesn't want me to mess up her schedule".

The past month or so I’ve been so just “done” with my husband. Our one year anniversary is soon, so we haven’t been married long and now I’m stressing out because if I’m this pissed off by him now can I imagine being with him for 5, 10, 25 years? My depression is coming back full force and I just walk around feeling like a zombie.
Everything he does annoys me. He’s gained a lot of weight and so every time he overeats I just feel disgusted by him. I love cooking and baking but don’t even like to anymore because I just think about how he will get fatter because he can’t eat just one cookie or one serving of dinner, he will literally eat the dinner serving I prepared for him PLUS the plastic container I put in the fridge that was supposed to be his lunch for the next day. I’m quite slim and try to take care of myself and I’ve struggled with eating disorders and seeing his fat body stuffing his face with food makes me ill.
He’s also so careless and forgetful and clumsy, I rarely ask him to do anything for me but when I do he can’t even get simple things right. I ask him to buy hand soap and he picks FOAMING hand soap when our soap dispenser is not for foaming soap so it’s useless. He often forgets his money, forgets his car keys and makes me wait for him to go back up to the apartment to get them, he almost made us miss our flight once because he misread the time. I tell him to wash his dish after dinner and he says later, but he goes to bed without washing it, then he says he’ll do it in the morning, and I wake up after he’s gone to work and it’s STILL THERE. He never empties the garbages, he will just keep shoving things into them until I empty them. He’s too stupid to check the garbage before he takes it out on garbage day. There was one bag I tied up which he put out, but the kitchen garbage was also really full so he should have emptied that and took it out too.. he will mess up the kitchen right after I clean it, getting noodles, rice, sauce, crumbs, oil, etc everywhere. Leave chunks of food in the sink.
He never listens to me. I have to repeat myself 5 times until I’m practically yelling to get a response which is embarrassing in public. “Hey look at that restaurantx4” “…” “HEY LOOK AT THAT RESTAURANT” “what?” And he’ll act angry and won’t even look when I point out I had to repeat myself 5 times. Like wtf? The other week I was at a restaurant with him AT A TABLE JUST the two of us, and I tell him about how I found this restaurant and then 5 minutes later he asks “so how did you find this restaurant?” What the actual fuck. Every goddamn time I’m right beside him repeating something and he won’t even turn his head or acknowledge I said anything. Supposedly his hearing is fine according to his yearly medical check. I get kinda triggered by it honestly because my mom did the same thing when I was living with her, just ignoring me all the time and I have social anxiety so I’m sensitive to feeling left out or ignored.
I literally discussed how I feel about all of these things after we moved to this apartment back in feb/March and he acknowledged my feelings and we made a plan to work on things and he said he’d try harder and lose weight and help out more and listen to me and it was really emotional with me crying and everything and I thought “finally! I talked about my feelings and everything will be better now” but it’s not. It was good a while but went back to this. He hasn’t lose any weight. Now when I bring it up he tries for a day MAYBE two but does something to piss me off again, like eating food for two meals, literally swatting me away when I ask if he can bring the laundry inside since it’s heavy for me, leaving his socks and dirty dishes around, etc. This plus the depression honestly makes me just want to kill myself. I feel like I’m trapped in this shitty life forever.

>>463062Before we got married we actually lived together with his grandmother since she’s quite elderly and can’t live alone. So we had some similar problems but we always just kind of justified or reasoned that it was because of that. “Oh dirty dishes in the sink, it’s because grandma was cooking so I didn’t want to be in her way” “who crammed the garbage full without emptying it? Must have been grandma” he gained a little weight since the time we first started dating, but nothing too bad. He was never even “skinny” he was always about “normal” not skinny, not fat, not buff, but that’s what I like actually. He got a bit chubby, but now he’s clearly overweight. I felt some depression stress about the living situation since I wanted something just for the two of us and as I said I love baking/cooking and wanted my OWN kitchen so I just kind of thought things would be better once we had our own place. After we got married we got our own place shortly after and as I said it was good for a while and then it got bad and I talked with him and it got better again for several months. I even went off my anti depressants I was doing to well. But now it’s like this. The worst it’s been yet. I definitely feel trapped because I’m not in my home country, I don’t really have friends here still, except for at work, and I put off going to college to be with him so I feel stupid and trapped and alone and like if I did have to leave him I’d be left with nothing-literally. Not that I necessarily want to leave him, i just wish things could be like they were before. I just wish he’d put some effort in and show he cares more.

I truly feel my friends don’t care about me as half as I care for them. I know it sounds childish but I always find a moment to check up on them, everyday, even if it’s just a few minutes of talking.
Today I tried my best to not text them and what I found was nothing. Of course people carry on with their lives and they don’t think how I am, how I’m feeling.
Worst part is that I actually told them these past weeks have been pretty shitty for me. I don't like to talk about myself but for once I explained them some troubles I’m having with my partner, job and school.
They left me on read after saying they feel sorry for me, and that’s it. Yesterday I tried to engage on a conversation again and apart from two lines, they didn’t say anything else to me.
I think they take me for granted because they know I’ll be there for them no matter what but fuck, my life’s hard too, you know? I have shitty days and sometimes I want to die because I can’t see anything being useful, sometimes I need to vent and I need them to check up on me. They make me feel insignificant, irrelevant, they make me indirectly think it wouldn’t matter if I disappeared and I have to come here to let out all my feelings because the people I love the most don’t appreciate it.
Lately I don’t even want to talk that much to them and I’m not doing it but of course they wouldn’t even notice it. It just proves how little meaning my words and actions have for them.
People are selfish because that’s our nature but I think that’s my main problem, I always put other people’s happiness before me and then I feel guilty for even opening my mouth. Sometimes I need to remind myself that it’s only a few messages, it’s not that important but this feeling of loneliness never ever stops, always been like this, with my old friends, with my parents, with everyone.
I wish I didn’t exist so I wouldn’t care this much.

>>463106Another anon chiming in with the whole age difference thing, in my 3rd year (I was 21/22) I was forced to take some 1st year courses as I changed my degree and had to make up for it. Everyone was 17/18 but not one of my 5 different lab partners suspected I wasn't a fresher just like them, one was even kinda offended and thought I was avoiding going home to halls together with her by taking a detour when I was just going home to my flat off-campus lol (halls are fresher-only at my uni). I don't look particulary youthful, have some forehead wrinkles even kek.
I hope you get the job and get into uni and have a very weird, kinda anxious yet exciting time!
>>463112 God, same. Kinda stopped extending effort to my closest friend last year and guess what, she essentially dropped off the surface of the earth despite living 15 min away. Think we were without any contact for like 3 months at a time. Most of my other friends moved away this year so, bc I'm lonely and desperate, I started extending that effort again and we are back to bestie territory but it just feels so fake. I'm sure if I stopped texting first whatever bs she'd just go back to being silent again and that thought is just constantly at the back of my head. Wish I was better at making friends. To be perfectly honest, I actually think I am not that bad, rather I don't meet enough people and as a result very rarely do I meet someone I do want to befriend.

I am having the worst period pain of my life right now, I have these bad ones on and off again but I was ready to call an ambulance earlier because of the pain. I know it's gonna pass soon but I am so bewildered at troons who have the guts to claim they get periods. Do they have these pains that make them need hospitals or crave death? I have a pretty high pain tolerance yet this in the middle of work out of places? I wanna fucking die, I feel like something is trying to eat me alive. "I experience periods muh hormones" you fucking don't. You'll never fucking know what women have to go through because we aren't men and no one cares enough to fix this, if men had periods, they would've invented a bullet proof way of surviving it with no pain.

She probably feels like it's her fault that she isn't bi/straight. That situation feels like something out of a movie, where you marry your best friend - but in her case she probably think she has wrecked it all.
Doesn't mean she loves you less …and she is brave for opening up about it to you. It means she trusts you. You are allowed to feel sad about it and you should bring up your feelings to her as well. I hope it works out for both of you.

>>463469I second this and hope we're right.
I've missed the friendship of an ex before, it's a complicated feeling and it was really scary trusting my partner to not be jealous when I told him, but also it was so reassuring when he understood my feelings and in turn opened up with some of his baggage.
I however would suggest that she needs to make new friends to help lessen her attachment to her ex though. There's nothing wrong with them being best friends forever but if she's just clinging on to him just because she doesn't have any other close friendships then that's only going to things harder for both of them. If she doesn't have many other friends you could try inviting her to spend time with yours?

She was just a few days away from turning 6!! 6 years old!!! Who the fuck cares about the figure of a 6 year old!! She was only 12kg when she died. It hurts my heart to see photos of her because she looked so cute and happy. An absolutely beautiful girl lost.

My best friend has always been jealous of me and now I feel stupid to have spent these many years caring about what she said to me.
We are friends for more than fifteen years now so obviously I had time to open my eyes, I just can’t understand how someone can be this manipulative because she feels inferior to me.
During these years, every little thing which was good for me, had to be scrutinised by her. This lead me to be a dumb 15 years old girl dumping my first ever boyfriends because she thought they weren’t too good for me.
Same with works, studies, and even hairstyles or clothes. The first time I told her I got my first job, she didn’t ask what I was going to do or if I liked it, but how much they were paying me, just to tell me she received more in her job, doing less hours.
She’s always nitpicking everything I say, I could say ten good things and then one less important and guess what she’ll be commenting about…
It came to a point where I always kept things from her because I didn’t want her to try and take control over them, I just don’t want to hear it.
Everyone who knows her asks me if I notice how jealous she is of me, of my life and I don’t know what to say because I don’t want to betray her even when I know she wouldn’t do the same for me. Of course I notice…

My general well being and mental state improves when i don't have to worry about work or other people's bs, the key is with your social interactions, your family, your self actualization and your hobbies, you don't need to be a wagie to have purpose or a place in life but its worth it if you find something that motivates you, you can be involved in stuff without being attached to a job or school.
No. 463644
>>463609Depends on how much being a NEET is affecting your happiness. I was a NEET for most of my 20's and during that time I was so severely depressed/suicidal I was put on lithium to stop my suicidal thoughts. As soon as I started breaking up my NEET routine - starting by attending a once-weekly life drawing class, then the occasional pilates - I started feeling a lot better. Now I have a part time job I enjoy that allows me to make my own schedule/hours (I know I'm lucky in this regard) and I'm happier than I have been in years. I feel productive, have a bit of money and my free time feels more meaningful, instead of every day being the same monotony that drove me to the brink of insanity.
I don't think a job is necessarily an end all be all, assuming you can afford it or have people willing to support you. No one enjoys wagecuck work, especially if it's retail or something more likely to make you feel worse. But hobbies that get you out of the house are important, even if you're an introvert. Even just volunteering somewhere once a week at a library or animal shelter could be good for you, or going to meetups for stuff you're interested in, like board games or art.
The biggest thing about managing depression is getting out of your comfort zone and making yourself do things. Any sort of things. I used to think it was bullshit and that people just didn't understand that being depressed meant it was impossible, but you really can. It doesn't have to be eat pray love shit or yoga at sunrise or vegan diets, it can be literally anything, and you can start with baby steps and take as long as you need to. It really does get easier with time.

I think my bf has been getting annoyed at me lately because I can't sleep over at his place. He has no mattress and sleeps on the floor. It's torture to me. I get how in some cultures this is normal but usually these people have cushy comforters and pillows to sleep on, yet he doesn't.
I technically "fell asleep" from 10pm to midnight but it just felt like I had my eyes closed while being painfully aware I was on a floor the entire time. I had to be up at 530am to commute back to my place and be ready to be at work at 7am.
I decided to drive home at 2am. I just fucking can't. My back hurts so bad and the part of my body that's on the floor starts to hurt after an hour so I toss and turn all night.
Mattresses are expensive and he knows he needs to get one if he wants me to be comfortable, but god damn. He works in a trade too, I don't understand how he can sleep like that after a day of physical labor.

When we first started dating he was getting hotel rooms for when we'd have days together but after awhile I asked him why because it seemed suspicious and I felt a bit bad that he was spending that kind of money a few times a week. Well he confessed to the no bed issue and yet I went along with it. He was embarrassed but I entertained it. He just moved into the new apartment he has, must not have prioritized a mattress. We went to look for some but he wants a nice mattress which is more than a few hundred plus a day where he can get someone with a truck to go get it.
I think he was just annoyed because I woke him up at 2am and he was cranky. I just didn't care for his comment as if I'm not falling asleep because I'm not trying, when in reality it's because I'm on a floor.
Anyway the past two times I've went back home late at night. The other time he drove me because he usually picks me up. I think he's starting to get that it's not tolerable for me. I won't be attempting to sleep there again until he gets that mattress.

I don't think you're being selfish anon, but at the same time I don't think you should always be giving so much of yourself to other people. You deserve to have friends who are willing to give back to you what you give to them. It really sucks to let go of people when you desperately want people to stay in your life, but you deserve happiness and there are people out there who will help you become the best version of yourself and not suck you dry.
This is something I'm struggling with too. Ultimately, I can't go into a relationship or friendship expecting them to stay by my side just because I'm willing to always go the extra mile for them. It's nothing but a breeding ground for anger and resentment. I'm trying to figure out my needs and boundaries, and if you voice out your needs and it constantly falls on deaf ears, sorry to say, but you shouldn't keep those people around.

My boyfriend said something really mean about my appearance today, but he was extremely apologetic when he noticed how much it hurt me.
For some reason, it hurt the most when he said "I think you're really beautiful". He already says it every day, but it felt horrible when he said it this time.
Why do I always feel worse when people try to comfort me?

I'm very lucky that I don't have too many mutual friends with my ex since we hung out with different circles, but recently my best friend has been making a lot of new friends who are mutual friends with her so… it's starting to get a little too close for comfort. I guess it's inevitable in this sort of community though.
It sounds weird to take a break since I only go to about 4 cons a year, and it's not like I spend all of my time between those cons making new stuff or whatever. I'm still trying to figure out what a break from it really means to me, aside from just not working on stuff and going to cons. I wasn't really happy at the last few conventions I went to either. Not sure if it was just getting tired from the inevitable, overglorification of drinking culture (I personally don't indulge for health reasons, but I've never really cared if my friends drink), the post-break up depression, or also just trying to avoid seeing her in person. Maybe all three.
I started rock climbing recently, and it sucks that none of my friends want to go with me (I can't blame them though, it can get pretty scary and just joining a gym is pretty expensive), but I'm trying to learn how to be comfortable with myself and comfortable exisiting by myself (and the screaming in my head lol). I get kind of sad seeing my friends post progress pics or con pics so it sort of makes me want to do a social media purge too. I've just got a lot in my head to sort out.

I feel so empty and depressed all of a sudden. I briefly considered dressing up and going out, but then I thought "What's the point of that? To go and feel depressed in a place less comfortable than your bed?".
I don't think anything can put a smile on my face.
I'd comfort eat, but I don't want to gain weight, and I hate exercise. I guess I could take a nap, but I'm scared I'll wake up feeling even emptier than before.
Nothing really feels good.

OP, if you've been feeling like this for some time, please go see a shrink or/and therapist. You need medication and maybe therapy. Meds are always a great start!

In the meantime, why not practice some mindfulness meditation? Take a walk outside and breath some fresh air, even just around the block. Or even sitting by an open window and taking in the sights of the sky or people down below? Take a pen to paper and scrawl whatever you want, paint some blobs, write down your thoughts. I'm not saying it will cure you or make you feel better, but hopefully it'll start inching you in the right direction.

>>463982yeah, sometimes I get so irritated it upsets my stomach, or too exhausted to eat so I end up feeling faint, and other stress related stuff like that. I'm fine to hang out for a day with 100% recharged batteries, but too many days in a row or too much time in a day quickly depleats me. I know it's not normal, which is why I don't like making a big deal of it.
it's probably exacerbated by having high energy extrovert friends, but like you I'm also over the introvert meme. most other introverts would rather do low key activities like

The cosplay community can be really small and tight-knit so it's probably inevitable that you'll run into her sometimes. It'll get less painful over time. But it's okay to feel hurt too, it takes time to heal from a breakup.
Cosplay is a weird hobby, it takes over so much of your life without you even realizing it, doesn't it? Especially if all your friends cosplay too. I was going to suggest trying out new hobbies but it sounds like you've already done so, which is great! It's awesome that you're trying to focus on yourself, it's super difficult but it's literally the best thing anyone can do to themselves, especially after a breakup. You are the most important person in your life after all. Figure out what it is
you want to do and where
you want to go from here.
A social media purge is always a good idea tbh.

I didn't mention this in my original post, but I have to thank my ex for finally making me realize staying at my old job wasn't worth it lol. It was a huge drain on me since I started, but it wasn't until I was with her and saw that she lived my ideal life (solid hours at a fulfilling office job doing really cool shit??) that was the final push for me to realize I had to get the fuck out.
I've come so far in 9 months without her in my life, and it's really hard to see that when I get down about shit. Thanks for reminding me about all the good shit anon. Now I'm really excited to go climb tomorrow lol. Maybe we'll see each other at a con one day, or maybe we already have mutual friends (probably very likely somehow)!

I made plans this weekend and I'm afraid people are going to interrogate me about my life. I still work retail and the fields I originally wanted to go into either have poor outlooks or you get overworked/treated like shit.

>>464147Uhhh autism? That is a huge reach and isn't even close to what autism is lmao. No, i think it's annoying to be asked to do a pointless favor by someone I don't know that well. We had been hanging out for close to six hours at that point and I was just ready to go home. I think to most people asking for that kind of favor makes you look clingy.
The reason I said I didn't like hanging out with other people is because I don't always want to do what other people in the group want. This summer I also studied abroad, and I got tired of eating American food with other people while i wanted to eat street food. This weekend, I went traveling with a group, and I was a little sad I had to pass by going to a cute cafe because other people didn't want to go. Again, what a reach.

The simple solution would be to go later, not hyperfixate on how miserable you were being around others because of it. Sounds like you want an excuse to not enjoy yourself.

However, if that's all he said and just left it at that, then yeah that's way oversimplifying and dismissing of a concern of yours. I would look into finding a therapist that would explain things in depth to you and actually ask you questions about that sort of thing.
As for autism, absolutely please do pursue a diagnosis. A friend of mine sought out a specialist to see if she was on the spectrum and sure enough she was. Being super "high functioning" as girls with ASD often are, she was never referred to anyone but just had a sneaking suspicion for years. Now she can understand the reasoning behind a lot of her behaviors and it's made things like therapy more effective. Pursuing a diagnosis, even if they determine you're not autistic, could be very helpful in improving your mental health and having a goal in mind for therapy.

my shit hairdresser cut my hair into a pixie cut when i had shoulder length scene girl hair in 2011 so i didn't let a hairdresser touch my hair for years after that (just trimmed it myself once or twice a year).
i have a bad habit of letting my hair get out of control and just leaving it tied up to get matted while i'm depressed and then having to spend hours brushing it all out again.
the past year or so i haven't let it get like that and i've started getting proper haircuts since my mum and grandma kept complaining and they pay for them, but it feels like such a waste of money since i can just trim that one inch myself. only point is getting my bangs done but i could get that alone done for much cheaper. actually the scalp massage is nice but….
i keep seeing cute girls with shoulder length hair again and a few times during the matted times my mum would suggest that i cut it off to around that length so it'd be easier to care for, but i feel like since i basically spent close to 10 years growing it it'd be a huge waste….. and i am quite fat so the more hair to cover me i feel like the better. i definitely suit longer hair better but these god damn cute girls keep tempting me, it looks so much less weighty and cute and whispy……………………………. the hairdressers assistant told me she had hair like mine once and cut it off to shoulder length and she never regretted it since it was so much easier and way less weight and i'm!! goddamn it

>>464541I've been growing out many hair for nearly a decade and had cut it to shoulder-length like 3 years ago. I regretted it immediately and I haven't had it more than trimmed since. I'm much happier with it long and prefer being able to do a lot of different styles with it (and it's like the one thing people compliment me on).
That said…it's just hair. It'll grow back. If you don't enjoy taking care of it or styling it you should just cut it. Worst case you hate it and grow it out again. I'd you're not ready to commit to shoulder length, why not just get a couple inches off first and see how you feel?

my mindset is that of 'i'm a horrible person and no one should associate with me' which i KNOW is so illogical and stupid but my anxiety and depression just tells me that yeah, ugly, break it off with everyone so they hate you and in turn won't miss you when you inevitably off yourself.
and like you i cant confide in my family because this is heavy. i HAVE gone to the doctor and received plenty of resources for counselling or therapy but i haven't done anything with them yet because i'm too afraid of trying to get help and then nothing works and it'd be a waste of time.

>>464548i agree, i like being able to do different styles and stuff with it and i like to when i leave my house, problem is that i don't do that much so i guess it feels like a waste. i thought about maybe offering to hair model or something but most of them usually want shorter hair or want to cut it off..

Tangentially related but the anons talking about cutting out their friends make me glad I did that years ago. My high school circle were so fucking stressful to be around and very jealous of each other. My "best friend" (who had been mostly ignoring me since graduation anyway, except to complain about her cheating idiot bf) was so incredibly rude to a new friend I made at work when I introduced them that I cut her out on the spot. I was so taken aback by how shitty and possessive she was when she hadn't even made the effort to hangout and flaked on all the plans I made. Said work friend is now my closest friend of 10 years, has always been incredibly supportive of me and even named her kid after me, so I'm pretty happy I made that choice, while ex-bff sent me "anonymous" emails talking shit about me for years after the fact, lol.

Whole background is a mess, and not main point of vent, but worth doing a tl;dr
Had a casual relationship with a guy, we both caught feelings and discussed this, but he can't have a relationship because of his life plans. Came as a shock when he told me he slept with someone else. Hurt, but fine.
After this, everything is fine for a while. I suggest still being friends, because it was just that amicable. Over time though, it's clear he is pushing away. All I want him to do is admit that he's doing this though.
So fuck it, might as well burn the bridge. I tell him that I don't think we can be friends myself, because I'm coming to terms with that he did at one point assault me. I said this not to try and hurt him, and that I should have said no once I realised he wasn't using protection.
So maybe I'm an asshole for bringing up old news, but hey, at least he admitted that he doesn't want to be friends. I guess I don't regret talking about it, even if the issue got blown way out of proportion, I just needed an example to explain why I don't want to be friends.

Stepdad is being selfish and I regret signing on this lease with him. I help support his irresponsible ass but he constantly acts like he wears the pants regardless. I guess between him and my psychotic mother, he was the lesser of two evils.
He went out on a grocery run but purposefully left me at home because he only wants to buy shit for himself, when I go he constantly bemoans me for daring to put anything he wouldn't eat into the cart. He demanded I help him carry in his groceries and then said sorry for not bringing me but I just wouldn't wake up. Which I know is him lying and gaslighting because I was awake in my room when I heard him rustling about and left. I didn't know he was gearing up to go out. He didn't even attempt, but it's a hill I don't want to die on so I let him lie his ass off if it makes him feel better. Guess I'll just have the same old rice and beans and frozen peas while he gets to eat junk food and beer,
Glad I have a bf who will at least take me out to eat every now and then. Bf has bought me groceries before when things were tight but I feel pathetic for asking.
Next, stepdad told me he wants to get rid of the storage unit. I pay the bill, but he wants it gone because he wants me to give him the money that would go to the storage unit for him to use. He'll probably use it towards the expensive cable bill, which he watches in the living room on my tv that I was forced to relinquish, because he wants it even though it's a non necessity. Yet in the same breath he'll constantly bitch about money.
He just went to get the last of his shit out of it with his truck so now he's all about harassing me to close the unit now that he's done with it. There's massive shit in there that I can't move on my own and I need his truck, yet for the past month all he's done is sit his ass on the couch or go golfing. How's he going to act like I'm the unmotivated one when I literally need him to get this task done if liquidating my shit is what he wants?
He's asking me to get rid of the furniture I've acquired over the years, as we cannot fit it into the closet unit at this apartment. It makes me feel bad. It was supposed to furnish the life I was going to have. Now if I ever escape my toxic parent's clutches again I'll have nothing because they'll have forced me to give it to them and get rid of anything else. They don't understand and they don't care. It's all about them.
I wasn't supposed to be here.
If only my ex could have turned out to be a decent human being and not a do-nothing leech scumbag I could've spent the last four years of my life building my career and future. I might've even bought a house by now had I dated someone who cared and could handle responsibilities.
My new bf is nice but he's not responsible for this mess.
I hate roommates but I'd probably had been better off than trying to move back in with my neurotic family.

I'm so fucked off at my rent situation. I share a house with three other students all paying the same monthly share as I do. However someone at the estate agents is stupid enough to apparently think that the £ sign in front of '390' was a number 4, so now they keep trying to take nearly £4.5k every MONTH. Which obviously doesn't go through because I'm a poor student, meaning instead I get an 'unpaid transaction fee' from my bank (because it's clearly a fault on my end), when in reality the estate agents are the ones who majorly fucked up. And then whenever I try to cancel the standing order, it doesn't go through or confirm anything. Seven fucking times I've tried this, and my rent is coming out tomorrow so guess I'll get another fee slapped onto my account for not paying them like half a year of rent in one go.
It fucking infuriates me because, like, how fucking dense do you have to be to think that one 18-year-old student is somehow going to be paying 4 grand more monthly than everyone else living there? Or confuse a £ for a 4 when it's their own handwriting?
Not only that, but they refuse to fix any of the problems with our property (some of which are pretty dangerous - like cracked/jagged bathroom floor tiles, or dodgy gas hobs on the oven), and then have the nerve to put a claim on all of our deposits barely 3 months into the tenancy. I've done shit all about the latter and am in a good mind to tell them that they're not getting any more money from me - rent, deposit, or otherwise - until they sort our house problems out and rectify a massive fucking error in their rent payments that's causing me £££ in extra fees. I want to charge them for the fees as well, since it's not my fault, but I have no idea how I'd word that 'politely'. I know realistically I can't just refuse to pay rent because they could just evict me, but god, this isn't the stress I need on top of a full time, wacky hours job, commitment to my studies, managing my mental health and trying not to fall back into debt.
tl;dr: estate agents/landlords are shitheads. Sorry for the long rant, just needed to get it all off my chest.

If I let them go long enough I see tartar start to form near the gums, and my tongue turns a weird color if I have bad breath. You already mentioned how he has bleedy gums.
Can he not feel his body become sticky, or his head and skin oily?

>>464843Yeah, you are completely right. I was so worried about hurting his feelings, I would joke about it sometimes and hope he got the hint. I would say things like "taking your yearly shower, huh?" which probably made him think I was being playful.
Mainly the reason I'm being a coward is because I know he'd be gentle with me. He never gets mad or annoyed when I make mistakes and is always gentle with me. I just have to tell him straight up before I get too resentful.
>>464845It doesn't really drive it home until you miss a couple days or so and smell yourself. I've definitely noticed I smell differently at least. If you don't have an reference for how things smell you don't know how bad your own BO can get. It's still not an excuse though, you're right.

>>464882To farmer's credit, I think a lot of them have gotten wayyyyyyyyyy better at giving relationship advice than just "break up."
Sometimes breaking up IS the right advice to give too, by the way. It just feels more genuine when anons give a thoughtful reply with solid reasoning prefacing that rather than just replying with bReAk uP wItH hIm U dUmBaSs! It's hard to learn about what went wrong to avoid it in the future if no one ever wants to have a conversation to tell how it went wrong.
Maybe I'm biased but every time I've come to lc to complain about a guy it turns out those problems were legitimate and I am no longer seeing those guys.
It helped me to have farmers who could see through a lot of male shit instead of automatically assuming that because I'm a woman I have evil underlying intentions.

Tried to vent with a male friend and it was the worst idea ever. He is well meaning but men just live in a completely diffenrent reality.
I'm having a meltdown at unhonly hours because i was a stupid preteen/young teen with internet access who also had a serious case of depression and i used to think i was only good for sex/sexual purposes and no one would like me otherwise, i hate that i was almost an "egirl", i hate how many men both thought of my 14yr old body as a sexual thing as they'd so oftenly message me (and i felt flattered because i was so sick) to tell me their sick ddlg and rape fantasies and i hate how many of these gross grimy old pieces of shit still have my nudes. I hate how i talk to friends nowadays who i used to be so overtly sexual with because i was attention starved and they were horny and i hate that they still must see me as a sexual object despite me finally being able to admit i am gay and i hate that i don't have the strenght to cut them out and that there's the creeping fear in the back of my mind that they still have my later 15yr old nudes saved somewhere.
I hate being sexualised, i hate that i put my body out there for a small attention from bottom of the barrel otaku and robot types, i hate that i have a physical body, i wish i could just erase myself and every trace i ever existed from the collective unconscious.

>>464349Welp, he went and got the teen his belt and it cost more than $600. And now bf has no money until he gets paid, and has to blow off plans he made beforehand including celebrating my birthday next month.
And apparently I can't be mad at this weirdness because I'm supposed to treat this like normal single parent kid prioritization. Even though this sort of shit doesn't even happen between well off married parents.
Even though this teen wasn't going to die if he didn't get his luxury belt immediately.
Apparently I can't be mad at this because there was absolutely no way junior could have gotten a slightly cheaper designer belt while being able to balance my birthday plans. It had to be one or the other.
Apparently putting oneself out financially so badly that one can barely put gas in the car or feed themselves is absolutely fine if it shows off that as a parent they put their older teenager first above promises to their romantic partners and their own self care.
I'm so fucking done.
Then these single parents turn around and whine about how nobody in the dating pool wants to give them any chances. Gee almost like no sane person wants to be treated like dogshit while they hypocritically give lip service towards wanting to be serious. It was a tough way to learn this lesson but I'm never doing this again.
I cannot believe anyone would think this is justifiable even if the parents were still together under ideal financial conditions.

>>464922As much as I love and respect my male friends, I have to agree with you. I simply don't think that they are capable of understanding and relating to these kind of problems millions of girls experiences. Every time I try to vent about these kind of things, all of them get downplayed, joked off and of course one and only "not guys are like that".
Recently found out that guy, who rejected me after we drunk slept and just after that called me a whore (it was my first time), did something similar to another girl (I don't know if they slept, but emotional part was very similar). There is nothing wrong with rejection, but leading someone for few months, creating this "deep", close connection and friendship while showing clear intent of being together and then instantly after having intercourse dropping and changing 180 degrees is wrong. Our mutual guy friend wouldn't believe me when I told him what that guy did, how he lied to his friends that nothing ever happened, but he didn't believed me and said that it seems like guy just can't reject a girl.
It hurts to feel betrayed by a friend, it took so long to heal after that guy, even now I'am too embarrassed to tell the whole story to my closest friends, who already hate him. He made me feel like I was a monster even more that I have before, I spent weeks without leaving room and my ed resurfaced, but it seems like I'm not even allowed to talk about that.

I tried to vent about this in my group chat earlier and a bunch of assholes jumped down my throat for wrongthink because apparently wanting my bf to spend some of his time and money on me for my birthday and viewing this belt situation as extra makes me entitled. They said the kid wanting a luxury good is a single parent priority akin to needs like food and water and btw adults break promises all the time which makes me immature for being hurt by him breaking his promise to me so there.
>>464950Technically he's spent over $1200 on the kid so far this month if you count the extra $600 he gave for his new school clothes at the begging of the month plus the other $600 yesterday for this belt.
At least the school clothes made sense and were practical. Buying a belt for half a grand when he cannot afford that for his teenager is nonsense.
>>464952When my friend recommended him to me she wasn't aware he had a teenage son. Single parent men aren't who I seek out on my own.
He told me off the bat on the first date, but he really played it down because his son doesn't live with him and he's pretty much at adult age already.
I had no clue that this guy is trying to buy his son's love back in bi-weekly payments of $600.

They clutched their male pearls when I told them how I didn't think a belt was something to prioritize over me in this situation, as if it's the same as me saying his kid shouldn't be prioritized at all.

My dad's starting to really piss me off lately and I want to vent and maybe get some feedback on whether or not I'm being too sensitive.
He's always had a bad temper and used to lose his shit and yell at me and my siblings for stupid things when we were younger e.g. sleeping in too late, studying too much, not studying enough, seeing friends too much, not seeing friends enough, etc. Nothing was ever good enough. Because of this I've always felt like I have to walk on egg shells around him and still worry that he's going to yell at me, even though I'm mid twenties and moved out years ago.
He hasn't lost his temper with me for a while (possibly because I don't see him much) but he has flipped out at my boyfriend a couple of times recently. First was when my boyfriend was unemployed for a while (he's found a job now). My dad sent him a text saying how lazy he was, how he isn't good enough for me, how some people from his country (he's an immigrant) come to our country to claim benefits and suck the system dry. He said he'd be angry if I knew about the text and it was supposed to be a 'man to man' chat between them, but I ended up seeing it anyway.
The second time was when something was wrong with my boyfriend's car and my boyfriend hadn't noticed. My dad went absolutely apeshit and started screaming and swearing at him, and then a week or so later I got a text saying he'd been lying awake at night crying because I could have died - wtf? The car had recently passed its MOT so while there was admittedly something wrong with it, it wouldn't have fucking blown up.
I know these incidents sound minor in isolation, but I think they've bothered me so much because it's been years and years of being yelled at for the smallest thing and him being controlling and interfering. He's so over dramatic and it's like he's constantly on the look out for something to criticise. Ugh.

ALWAYS something. the edge of my bones are comforting to grab for a handle on the reality- brittle ribs and jutting hips and the imprint of my adolescent sternum. the protruding column of my starved throat and the knobs of my bone bruised spine. theyre more handles for my personal comfort than body parts for my sake. if I could wind a string around my body to cut off the circulation i would. i think driving a knife down the string would be the most fucking relieving thing I’ve ever experienced. nothing helps anyway when all the strings within are already snapping like thin violins scraped too hard wigh a bow in an indelicate hand. they hack at my strings the sound harsh and the feeling of dying harsher. my body and mind are beautiful but neither are right. both wreak of a death that is quick appropaching andif i were not constantly vigilant ad unbefitting one will befall me. i’ll be stabbed in the navel in an alleyway or butchered by the blades of a lawnmower or killed swiftly both my vehement opposers who sit dutifully at my window and wait for the moment i stop looking them in the eye to climb in with a sharp touch and sharp intentions. so i make eye contact all night, while i slip into my school trousers and tie my favorite black shoes. i feel hot breath on the back of my neck as I walk in the school hallway, hoping its not real but knowing it probably is. the threat is for my eyes only. natural selection bred sight right out of humanity and im left with the consequences of nature eliminating its biggest threat. for once cant the demons hang on the shoulders of someone else? are my thin dying ones particularly comfortable? do they hear the sound of them breaking? ive awoke with hoove shaped bruises that nearly broke the skin. i want to take pictures. but i also am desperate to indulge in color andjustification to all the fear. should the disappear upon being photographed could i handle it? would i break? my life is a series of one horrifying teagedy after the next, each one more soul crushing than the last, and only relief from reality could lull the tides of the world and sing me to sleep and keep me up for days in the same breath. i palm at the front of my pants and over my chest- delusional? schizophrenic? the terms I say with such practices ease because venom on the bed of my mouth. they say it with more ease than me and they don’t even know what theyre saying. id rather than tracing of patterns that only i can see be ridiculed rather than that other thing i cannot control. i have a sick body and a sick mind. one of them i have to fucking live with. theyre both knives being twisted in my soft adolescent belly. and all the demons fucking cackling take turns twisting it. ive been lanced into since childhood. can you so easily lance a child? is it the context of who this child is that makes it so easy for you to stab him repeatedly? was this child bad? did his child make you upset? was this child useless? you won’t answer me, just keep twisting as my blood gold as Ichor drenches the both of us in a rich blood bath. and you wear it as a simbol os pride that youve contributed to the growing ache the unequivocal suffering of a sick mind. call it what it fucking is. call my mind sick and do it for all the wrong reasons. your strings are snapping too but youre hacking at them yoursel

So I already whined about it in the last vent thread, but tomorrow is the day that I fear since the beginning of this year, which is the appointment at the dentist.
Two weeks ago I finally went to the office and made my appointment, which the first one will be tomorrow. I had to made two straight away because the upcoming procedure is a bigger one, so the next two days I will have the ultimate pleasure to go to the place which I fear the most. At the one hand I absolute despise to go there but on the other hand I know that if I don't there, I will have bigger issues with whatever needs to be done. The one thing that just bothers the fuck out of me right now, is that two days ago I woke up with some blood in my mouth, which def came from one of the theet that has issues in therms of being absolutely broken, so Idk what I will experience tomorrow.
I'm actually pretty good in handling pain, but the entire situation that you experience at the dentist has always stressed the fuck out of me and I just pray that I can go through that fucking thing without loosing my fucking mind and cry in the worst scenario, which I did last time when my last wisdom theet was a bitch to get out so they had to cut everything out in order to remove it. I really envy people who don't go mental about going there because this what I'm doing now.

If you are the employee that always delivers your assignments in 3 days then you are the reliable hard worker that never fails to meet a deadline.
If you are the employee that always delivers the same assignments but in 1 day, then they will expect you to deliver always in 1 day and the moment you take 2 days to deliver something you will get a stern talk about a sudden drop in your performance.
So whatever, i usually finish all of my assignments a lot earlier than expected and just sit on them and wait for the deadline timer to run out because if i do deliver earlier all is gonna happen is i get new workload sooner or they will start giving me bigger workloads from then on with the exact same timeframes and they are not even going to be more interesting tasks, just the same bullshit ones but in larger ammounts, more burden without any extra compensation is not really a good incentive to increase production guys.

>>465168yeah a have a relative who works in recovery and it's misused/overused really often. It's supposed to be a helpful metaphor more than an excuse. I don't believe in a lot of AA stuff but in the context of the program it makes some sense, but I also see why it's so greatly abused as a concept because it makes addicts feel like
victims.
it is a "disease" in that it's consuming and difficult and requires help to get out of. there is some genetic component that can increase your risk but anyone can become an addict. the "cure" in the program is sobriety. calling it a disease isn't meant to be like "oh I can't help it it's my disease I can't help it!!!!" but basically to imply continuing to use is the same as someone with cancer refusing treatment. people can show you empathy for the disease (or the root cause of your addiction) but don't have to empathize with your choice to avoid treating it.
they also call it a disease because you need help to get out of it. I agree with that even though the type of help can look different than just something like AA. It is that it is serious and you can't just fix it yourself imo but yeah if you notice you are obviously sick and avoid the doctor that doesn't make you a
victim? it makes you irresponsible.
like especially with how cruel addicts can be a better example would be a contagious disease like the plague. your life alone isn't only on the line by avoiding responsibility. your choice to avoid to care for yourself directly harms other people. you don't owe it to save anyone. doctors can't force patients to accept care. if someone refuses help you have zero obligation to walk them through it or even be in their lives at all.
sorry this is so long I just feel a lot of things about this. I used to work on a suicide hotline and if someone really just wanted to die and didn't want our help (just wanted company on the phone while killing self) we had to hang up on then. I thought it was fucked up at first but it was a similar concept that later made sense and I'm glad we did it. if someone really wants to hurt themselves like that the safest thing to do is just walk away and spare yourself the trauma. if someone really wants help you will know VERY quickly.

Not really a vent but I don’t know where to put this— it’s too heavy to talk to a friend about right now. There was a rape on my campus, and the rapist is now in jail, but he was in one of my boyfriend’s classes. The prof had to do some obligatory damage control spiel and then went straight back into class— my bf texted me that he left because he felt uncomfortable, and then sent me a few more texts telling me about how his sister (who I’ve never met) was raped in high school and now he’s super sensitive to this kind of stuff. I haven’t responded to his text yet, I’m crying so hard out of empathy for his sister and his family, like I literally cannot stop crying thinking about how upset he had to be to have to leave class. Worst of all, a few weeks ago he and I were having a discussion abt his mental health (this is a fairly new relationship) and I told him we’d have no problems as long as he didn’t treat me like a therapist. After telling me about his sister he said “sorry I told you, I don’t want to make you my therapist or anything”. Now I’m crying even harder because he thinks opening up to me about that could’ve been a burden on me? Which like, yeah, I’ve been crying for ten minutes, but I don’t mind him opening up about really difficult stuff like this to me. Fuck! I can’t stop crying thinking about what just happened on campus + what happened to his sister

Sometimes I wonder how these professors get hired in because they strike me as such stunted dolts. I really don't care if administration asked them to do it, it's something I'd never do in a classroom.

>>465268>will eventually be just as despised by future generationsTechnically a Zoomer, and I feel this. 0 emotional maturity, and lack empathy, despite being crybabies with their disgusting and reckless views, especially political ones. I find our age group to be narcissistic, but in a covert and manipulative kind of way.
I know I sound like an old fart, but the effects of the beauty industry, lack of a unified culture due to capitalism, a loss of religious values (I'm not religious), and identity politics/racial division has taken it's toll on all of us. Additionally, 350 million people are losing their roots due to our failing education system.
In a generation where there is no sense of community, and responsibility to each other, it leaves others to run amok, stab each other in the back. We as a people need to start ostracizing others for their shitty behavior. I stopped caring about offending others. I immediately pull away from those who engage in awful behaviors, like negging, breaking things while drunk, stealing from another friend, cheating on a partner, etc.
Real friends don't let each other wallow in their misery; we encourage each other to be better. Fuck this "tolerance" crap. There's a certain level of space and respect we need to give, allowing others to just vent, I get that, but we've taken it to a whole other level from a general perspective.

why cant you just involuntarily lock someone in a psych ward anymore. my brother goes on a violent rampage every few weeks, where he smashes everything in the house up, and even beats other people. last time he broke multiple of my mothers ribs because she told him off sneakingg of school and doing drugs, and last winter he repeatedly puched me in the face and tore a bunch of my hair out because he was in some kind of weed induced paranoid state and i dared to look in his general direction.
however, each time the UK police dont give a shit, they just give him a slap on the wrist and let him go after a night in a jail cell. the only thing this accomplishes is that he just ends up coming home even angrier the next morning. my parents managed to get him locked up in a psych ward in my home country last year, but they let him out after a fucking day as well. the rest of my family, including my mother whos probably dealing with some sort of stockholm syndrome by this point, enable him, saying how hes a victim and how sorry they feel for him for being rejected by the girl he likes/my parents not giving him drug money/the other kids at school calling him a crackhead/whatever else set off his rampage. they think hes some poor innocent babby boy inside whos just acting out beacause hes a teeanger. the only one who didnt enable him was my father but he left because he didnt feel safe around my brother, and i dont blame him. he genuinely belongs in a psych ward before he murders someone during a rampage.
im also fucking salty because he can do shit like literally deal drugs at school, but my family will still shit on me harder for something trivial like accidentally touching the edge of the cup with the champagne bottle while im pouring it, there was also a case where we were leaving a family gathering and some distant relative didnt hear me say goodbye, so the next time she saw me she kept on switching between ignoring me and screeching about how im a rude cunt who doesnt care about anyone else

I know this should belong in the general artist salt but whatever lol, anyways, i just signed up for a basic digital painting course. The only requirement is knowing fairly basic photoshop skills and have some knowledge on drawing, i was very excited to learn because the mentor said the course is very basic so its ok if you dont know much/anything abt digital painting and pts skills in general. After the a few classes went by, i was panicking already because everyone in the course have it wayyy better than me, they know stuff that i dont and i am CONSTANTLY behind in class. I hate that i always beat myself up for not knowing things or understand the material right away, why am i so stupid? why am i so slow and useless? i tried, i really tried but i kept spiraling in this hole of self loathing sm rn and cant get out of it ( pic related, its an assignment )

It ranges from either me seeing my boyfriend having sex with another girl or he’s having a romantic dinner with someone and it always ends with me having to ask if he’s cheating and he never gives a definitive answer, It’s forcing me to see and feel things I don’t want and making me question the relationship I have with my boyfriend, It’s been a little hard for me lately cause of the long distance we’re going through at the moment

It always disappoints me seeing how many young aspiring idols or cosplaying girls end up doing webcamming, porn or escorting. Seeing someone like amina go from a regular girl with weeby interests to the escort/porn star she is today has been a wild ride. I feel like after that gravure stint she realized she went too far and probably thought, "might as well go full on hoe". I'm probably too invested in her life, but it's so fucking tragic.

Having my quarterly existential crisis this week and I’ve been going off the rails for more than usual. Dissapeared for 5 hours yesterday to go to my favorite park in my state which is about an hour drive from home, ended up picking up trash around the parked and being pissed off about inconsiderate people. I’ve been spending money on dumb shit to fill this gap in my life and feeling the same, i’m considering quitting my job and taking up a part time to focus on school because working full time and living for the two days off i get (which i spend in school) is no life and i’m wasting my better years working and stressing. I just want the freedom to paint everyday and go to my favorite park without having to make a rigid schedule for myself because I never have any down town for me and for things I like. I’m tired of my city and country and life and just want to get away for a long time and self reflect but of course it’s not very possible under my current conditions. I also had to go off meds because my insurance was taken away and they want to make me pay insane amounts I just don’t have even working a full time job, maybe that’s why i’ve been going a bit off the rails.
No. 465724
>>465706I'm in a similar situation to you and I have also decided that it's time to find a part time job because it's not worth living only to do work I don't care about and never have time for myself, if I got hit by a bus today my obituary would say "she wanted to make a difference in the world but instead dedicated her life to minimum wage work that helped nobody". Finding a job that gives you more time but still pays enough to live on is easier said than done, but I hope you and I can find a way to make our art and reclaim our lives.
However unlike me you are a student so please be kind to yourself and remember that for you this might just be a necessary transitional phase whilst you finish school. You might need to keep other things on hold whilst you focus on your studies but at least you're working towards a future with an education, there is a forward momentum there even if you can't see it right now.
I also hope you can find a way to get your meds back because you deserve to have support for your mental health, perhaps you can ask your student support department to see if they know of any schemes?
Well done on cleaning the park.

I know milkshakes are typically calorie bombs, but I assumed it was like 690, like one other milkshake I've tried from the same place, and it'd be fine if I just cut down on everything else. But no, it just had to be one of those insane ones. Why do they even exist? Why is that considered okay?
That's the last time I just decide to try foods/drinks recommended by family and friends without looking them up first. Jesus Christ.

don't reply to this with you stupid dog hate shit,
i'm so annoyed by the people in my apartment building who have horribly behaved dogs. my dog is super well behaved, calm, always listens, never barks etc. so it annoys me even more. it's mostly older women with tiny yappy dogs whose aggression they excuse and laugh off saying "oh he thinks he's a big dog teehee!" just last week this annoying as fuck little schnauzer was in the dog park going around barking/biting at other (MUCH bigger) dogs and finally a standard poodle had enough and snapped at it, didn't attack it or even touch it. the owner of the schnauzer freaked out, screaming about how she was going to report the other dog to the apartment complex and get them evicted and their dog put down by animal control. I actually confronted the lady and was like your dog is going around her being aggressive and harassing the other dogs daily, just because it's small doesn't excuse its actions. I wrote to the apartment manager and the owner of the other dog did too and apparently they told her to not bring her dog to the park anymore since they had around 5 other people complain in the past about the same dog.
there is also another lady with three yorkies who bark psychotically and she's constantly taking the elevator to go up ONE floor (I live on the top floor so its basically not feasible to walk up so many flights), so when she's waiting for the elevator you can't even go inside bc her dogs will bark their heads off. yesterday I went inside to get in the elevator with my dog and she was in there and she started screaming at me saying my dog's presence was upsetting her dogs and that I needed to go outside immediately. there are other dogs who are so aggressive and their owners are like "you can't get in the elevator my dog will attack your dog." so like, don't take the elevator or maybe don't live here at all??? not all dogs are suited to live in densely populated areas. aggressive dogs are prohibited in my building yet 9 times out of 10 they don't give a fuck, they probably wouldn't make someone remove a dog unless it killed another dog. there's seriously no excuse to have such an aggressive, loud dog and if you can't take the time to train it to behave you shouldn't have a dog.

The "Chihuahuas are more aggressive!!" point is moot in this discussion, you can not compare the harmfulness of a small toy dog incapable of doing any real harm and a 60-kg muscular dog with bone breaking jaws simply based on temperament.
Pitbulls in particular are dangerous because they've been bred from breeds that are meant for killing, terriers have been used to exterminate pests (rats and mice) by locking them in their jaws and shaking them until the creature dies. Most terriers are so small in size they can't harm humans, but pitbulls have the size and mass of a bulldog, a breed meant for bull baiting, added to the mix. I'd be scared to death of that combination, I don't know why so many people insist on them being super sweet and adorable.
