i got into a really good art school, but i have no money to attend since my parents are waist up in debt from getting sued (they own a small business and a former employee sued them, my dad refused to get a decent lawyer and ended up losing and racking up 300k in debt) and some other shit
Im not elligible for discounts and other student help since my family brute income is good, but its all going to pay the debts.
I can't work either since its a full time course (7 am to 15 pm), i just wish my dad hadn't been a retard like he always is and didn't lose that ridiculous amount of cash for nothing.
I can't believe i will have to can my dream and stay and the HORRIBLE uni i am at right now (the place gets waterlogged when it rains, i already missed like a week since its rainy season).

>>465956>buy things without multiple photo reviewsImo a major problem with Amazon reviews is that their customer base is as retarded as the sellers.
>OMG 5/5 STARS THIS WIG IS SO GREAT WOULD REC>picture is filtered to shit and is an extreme closeup selfie barely showcasing the wig>what is seen of the wig looks like they plopped it on their head straight out the bag, looks thin and messyI wanted to buy essential oils for my diffuser and while the majority of the reviews can be good, there's always a cluster of reviews that say that their product was bad and how it's not a "real" essential oil which then calls into question if everyone who gave it 5 stars are gullible idiots or if the people saying it's bad are just nitpicky pinko pissbabies.
Basically Amazon sucks if you want to buy something really niche.

About 3 months ago I got a tinder profile. There was a guy who I was going to meet up. He made the plans and everything all he said I had to do was be there. I bailed because I wanted to stay inside and watch tv because whatever, plenty of fish in the tinder sea and he's probably just another fuckboi.
My friend (also roommate) started dating the guy about a month ago. I met him a bunch of times when she brings him over and I am seriously mad at myself. He was a real keeper and I passed on it.
He does things like cooks dinner for her every Wednesday night. They study together and he's pretty smart so he helps tutor her sometimes.
It drives me nuts because when she first brought him over and I met him in person for the first time the first thing he said to me "We had a date planned together at one point didn't we?" He laughs and said it was all good that I flaked out and that he was used to it happening on tinder, plus he might not of ended up dating my friend.
It feels like a nagging missed opportunity annoyance that won't leave my head .

Job searching is pissing me off so god damn badly.
It's a shame my current job is only a temporary project, because I'm really well liked here and have made a great impression for the several months I've been here.
I've been applying for work since July so I won't be jobless by November, but I'm having no luck despite having sent countless, tailored applications. I've tried callbacks but HR people tend to be shitty and patronizing if they can be contacted, saying how they've got hundreds of applicants and they are never wanting to talk. It's ridiculous. Employers are fucking ridiculous.
I was talking to the senior project manager about how I haven't been having any luck yesterday and he "jokingly" suggested that I just lie on my resume.
My stepdad pitied me and sent me links to two job recruitment websites. After I painstakingly made an account and filled out the resume on one, it offered me the option to tick a box if I'd like a free resume consultation email.
I actually got an email back today from a seemingly real person, but they destroyed every single aspect of my resume.
Apparently the formatting, design, and file type were all shit (even though it was taken and downloaded from a popular job hunting website..) and hence terrible to employers and the ATS software they use.
That I used too much passive language which makes me a task focused "doer" and not an "achiever." All their suggestions were examples exaggerating my importance in my subordinate roles, while it seemed they wanted me to bullshit numbers and basically lie out my ass in order to appear "exciting" to these shitlords.
Because apparently executing my job functions just aren't enough to prove I've been a productive asset to the companies I've worked for. I've got to further cheerlead and say how I've increased productivity by 23437^100%, even though there's no way to have ever measured such shit or a way for me to have known since I've never had a managerial role.
Apparently my ATS keywords were garbage too, even though it seems like there's a "keep away" mentality among these resume sites to divulge what keywords to use because they're all hidden behind paywalls.
It's "good advice" in order to continue this song and dance. To act like after several years of work experience and two degrees that I "undersell" myself and have no real talent because I used bullet points and actually listed the duties of my job when I was fucking asked.
This is the clown world new normal.

This is what I'm doing exactly right now, trying to make them question why they're acting this way.
I have this friend who's dating a manipulative abuser. Yesterday she broke down and I stayed by her, cleaned up her wounds, offered my help well knowing she won't go to the police. I listened to her cry for hours, reassured her about how she won't ever be alone, even if she breaks up with him and can't see herself with anybody else.
It broke my heart because I knew the moment that scumbag would call her, she'd go to their house again, as she did this morning.
I explained what happened to one of our mutual and closest friends because I was mentally exhausted after all those hours and what she told me was that I should went to the police or stop talking to my friend at all until she opens her eyes.
Excuse me? I’m trying to keep alive one of my oldest friends, while knowing I can’t just tell her to dump him, I tried everything to convince her about searching for help and still it’s not working but I’m there for her, always.
I just needed to hear that everything was going to be fine, that I did fine, that my effort is good at heart, not being criticised about everything I do all the time.

>>466635I honestly never really associated being de-feminized due to my PCOS.
To be factual, the reason women get their period is because there's a rise in testosterone in their bodies.
I'm Latina so being hairy and having that mustache and almost unibrow is in my genes and I never associated that with PCOS either. Actually, I have thinning hair on my head due to PCOS, so I'm less "hairy", just in a different spot on my body lol.
I think a good start would to change the way you compare yourselves to other women who don't have PCOS. See it as an issue that ONLY females can go through, which is what it is. You definitely aren't a man or else you wouldn't deal with this. The fact missing your period makes you feel anxious is like your brain giving you reassurance you ARE a woman because it knows something is a bit off.

My mother did this to me and several other women that I used to be close with. It fucked me up badly. I manage to hide it now that I'm skeleton tier but my self esteem is almost non-existent. I also can't form relationships due to that and not wanting to be hurt again. I remember being lectured about having to watch weight and being chubby but looking at my old school photos I was very skinny.
Yet at a young age of 10 I already started dieting and worrying about the intake. I know I wasn't the only one. I stopped having birthdays because my mother would give each of my friend a cake while giving me a salad and telling everyone that it's because I need to lose weight. I was fucking 10, mom.

I've long suspected my mom has had a Cluster B personality disorder. She seems to bounce between NPD and BPD depending on her mood and self-esteem at the time. My only references are how similar her behavior matches the criteria I've read about and when I visit forums of people with parents who have Cluster B personality disorders. I see how her behavior aligns with these stories of disordered parents. She sees a therapist, but only these days because of her last marriage failing–she still thinks most people make up their mental illnesses for attention and handouts. I digress. Because of the way she twists and lies about the narrative to the therapist (I went to one of her marital therapy sessions once; she has a degree in the theatre and was a school teacher and it shows), the therapist sincerely believes she is a victim. I don't think she'll ever be diagnosed because she's an excellent manipulator, knows what to say, and is charming to anyone with titles and authority.
I went no contact with her a few months ago for my own sanity after she did something particularly fucked up to me. My life and mental well being have improved drastically. However she's been trying to manipulate me into talking to her at every opportunity again.
She hates this boundary because she has no control, no power, and therefore can't excite drama from me anymore.
She sends me provocative letters that I don't reply to, but every time she hopes for a response. She dogwhistles and says underhanded things that would usually get a reaction out of me, but I have the power to ignore it now.
During her most recent shenanigans, she sent a birthday gift with a gift card before my birthday, and a few days later followed up with one of the said letters. The subtext manipulation being that I'd be more obligated to at least respond with a 'thank you' for her having sent the gift. If I wasn't so financially hard up, I would've sent the card back but I took it. I still haven't contacted her, and I don't want to.
The letter was infuriating. She played victim and only admitted soft fault to things she was already comfortable admitting because she had several justifications for her behavior anyway.
The letter was riddled with several hypocrisies:
"This letter isn't to make excuses, we have to take responsibility for our actions and choices."
proceeds to admit she acted emotionally unstable towards me but it's bc of her abusive ex husbands and controlling parents.
"I'm really hurt about what you posted on public social media because it was an attack on my character and you divulged private things."
I had actually blocked her on social media but one of her flying monkeys screencapped my post intended only for my close friends to read, and sent it out in a mass email to my family behind my back. My post actually did little in the way of attacking her character (besides calling her a narcissist), and instead detailed her awful behavior towards me and why I was moving to change my situation so drastically. Not only that, but before I went NC she went around to my entire family and besmirched my character in making me out to be a lazy, mean, ungrateful daughter. Now she wants to referee the language because she's losing me.
"I know you love your stepdad and I have no desire to spoil your relationship with him."
Proceeds to tell me how manipulative she thinks my stepdad is, how he financially took advantage of her, and how she thinks my living situation with him is 'unhealthy' without even giving a clear definition of what that means.
"I'm sorry you feel like you had an unstable home growing up, but you had a good home and all the necessities so if you really think about it you had it better than most."
Implying she deserves a reward for doing the bare minimum as a parent like giving me food and clothes, while ignoring and denying how emotionally abusive she was towards me.
I could go on, but the point is the things she says are turgid.
I transcribed her letter into a Word document, and then wrote my own 5 page reply that I've been sitting on and editing for days. I don't want to send this to her, because I'll be breaking the power of my boundary and giving her the satisfaction of my reply.
What I think I should do instead is find out if she's being truthful about seeing her therapist. I feel like I should reformat this letter of mine, print hers out, and mail both copies to her therapist explaining my perspective. And what they ought to be talking about during their sessions.
I'm not sure if it will work though or if this is just a waste of my time. Ultimately, I think my mom is too damaged and has too much of a victimhood complex to change.
I wish someone could read her letter and mine who's outside our situations (neither friend nor a family member) so I could get some true feedback on it.

>>467227That’s a really tough situation. It’s good that she’s at least open to therapy, but it doesn’t seem like it’s helping her actual problems.
It seems like you are still affected by it a lot, and that’s the most worrisome part. You can’t have a normal relationship with someone who’s going to play the
victim and not acknowledge their own shortcomings. I think you’re right she is trying to get control over you, and the best thing you can do is not allow it. If someone is trying to get a reaction out of you, you don’t have to give it to them.

One of my friends is being annoying in that she's always begging people to hang out with her, and it's not that no one wants to. She's just being extremely lazy about it. If anyone wants to hang out with her then we're all required to commute out to her house which is easily a 40 minute drive one way for most of us. She never offers to meet us halfway someplace or come chill at our places. She won't come.
She doesn't drive, and she's 30 so at this point she's got no excuse for that by now besides straight refusal to learn. Her husband is well off enough to buy thousands in weebshit merch so money isn't an issue. Even so, she could get her husband to drive her someplace or she could Uber.
It's really hard to feel empathy for her when she's so low effort. We're past the age where any of us have the patience to entertain being her mom with the car rides. She's not disabled, she's not poor.
She gets super indignant when us other friends hang out too, as if we all had to reach out to her and offer to pick her up and drive her back first if we want to grab a quick lunch or dinner to catch up. She doesn't understand that's going above and beyond standard friendship consideration, that's straight up mommying.
The other night I was with three friends and we were posting our drinks to social media, and this friend got jealous of the fact that we hung out without her and so she made a post asking people to come over to her place to test drinks…at midnight.
Can't she see how offputting that is? It's immature.

>>467243Give them time, it will at least take a few months until they fully warmed up. I thought my young cat and my older cats would be hostile to eachother forever too, but even though they occasionally still hiss at playing attempts or literally laying on top of eachother to cuddle, they are basically a family after 3 years. They talk to eachother verbally and nonverbally, exchange comfy sleeping places, sleep next to each other, shyly groom eachother, copy eachothers good and bad behaviour and have eachothers back when one is shocked or seemingly in danger. (And young cat is still persistent to get even closer, after being told off several times lol) I think the key lays in treating them as a group in several situations. Playing with them all together at once, feeding them together, giving them treats together, getting them hyped over treats together, petting them at once if they are in reaching lenght, actively discouraging them from fighting as soon as they show aggressive signs etc.

>>467370I'm disappointed, but not surprised.
I take solace in the fact that 99% of those people live shitty, empty lives and probably cry all day about boogeymen like "the feminazis" and "cultural marxism" all because sane women want nothing to do with them, they have no real friends besides other bitchy, unstable men and the odd pick-me, their internet porn addiction has rendered them sexually and socially dysfunctional, their parents are disappointed in them, and they know in their bones that they will never become anything of real value in their lives. The most they could manage is to emulate mass murderers.
They'll be lucky if they accomplish even half of what their fathers did (procreation), and even if they do, all the bad habits (alcoholism, severe personality disorders and possible opiate addiction) will catch up to them and ruin it all anyway.
Like, I don't know how to say this without sounding evil, but some people really do deserve their miserable fates. The kind of person who celebrates children being tortured and sexually abused in a school just because they happen to be black definitely leads a shitty existence, and it's exactly where they belong. I hope they stay in their pitiful, self-destructive holes forever.

I think I have obsessive love disorder. There's this woman I know, well used to know, and she occupies a gigantic amount of space in my mind. Usually I'll have the off thought here and there when I'm at work, but for the most part I just think about how nice it would be for us to be together. Sometimes I think about how it'd be nice to do something "datey" I saw, sometimes I think about the things she's said about her family and I imagine doing my best to get along with them, but more often than not I'm just despairing about how she doesn't really like me the same way and will never like me the same way (so I won't get to do those fun things with her).
I've been trying to find some answers and they are pretty good because they led me potentially try therapy, but therapy is expensive.
I think about her a lot and I feel like I really care for her, but I also understand that we can't be together (1. she never really reciprocated my romantic feelings, 2. She's in another part of the country, 3. I think I'm not really good enough to be the type of person she wants). So, while I am trying to move on, it's rough because I'm not really interested in pursuing a relationship with anyone (besides her).
I think when we were getting to know each other and I started having romantic feelings, there was this way she made me feel when we talked–and I'm addicted to that. So, every time I try to think about having relationships with others, it just feels off or it feels like a pain to have to get to that point when it was so effortless for me before.
And because it was so easy for me to fall so deeply and quickly, that's what made me think "this must be love"–but now, I'm not really sure.
I'd love to try to tackle my problems head on by just talking them out in some sort of video diary, but every time I try to journal my feelings I just keep getting reminded of how much progress I'm not making. Also, I'm not sure if addressing my obsessive thoughts would be the same as encouraging them. I heard about this thing called neutralizing for OCD and it's supposed to not be helpful.

If she's normal looking but wants all the benefits of being gorgeous, we have to be honest and admit that's vanity.
I say this as a normal looking person who will never get particularly good or bad treatment for my looks. It took me a while to accept that my pity parties and insecurites were not justified. Deep down I was just greedy for special treatment and my vanity was a reflection of that. It's better to get used to the idea that maybe you're just average, like most people are.

Also I'm putting my tinfoil hat on but sometimes I think those are male posters deliberately trying to make women panic to settle down why there's still chance.
I have seen men using silly tactics before. Like, I would read posts on reddit where a man admits to pressuring his sister into not pursuing career but settling with his friend and being a housewife because she doesn't have enough time. Or a boyfriend encouraging his gf to give up on university by cherrypicking articles of women who regretted pursuing their career and having troubles settling down in their 30s. Though I'm most likely wrong. Women do get a lot of pressure to do tons of stuff before they're considered old by society's standard and I can see how one could feel extreme despair but there's just something that alarmed my scroteradar.

>Judging by the media and also some anons here, the society really has a harsh "expiration date" for women.At some point everyone naturally comes to the realization that most of mainstream media and media in general is catered to teenagers and 20somethings because thats the demographic with most leisure time and lowest standards to buy random crap. You are not literally old in the general sense but you are getting too old to be a part of the main demographic that most trends are targeting, you are simply not being catered to directly, new movies, new hot bands, new fashion, etc, they are not speaking to you proper. Some people realize this sooner than others because they can't get over how trite and bullshit everything seems all of the sudden and are constantly fallion out of the loop, others are more oblivious and take more time to get used to it because they feel they can still get into some new stuff thats hyped but are annoyed that all the people around them are 10 yr younger at least, they just haven't figured out why.
When you hit 30 you can either be aware, soul search a bit and find different comfy hobbies for yourself that are more specific to you or you can spend your days online pretending you are still a teenager , and a ~cool girl~ that totally gets what the kids are into while following a bunch of content made for teenagers so you can vicariously be a teen forever (spoiler: you can't be a teen forever) .
No. 467948
>>467859>why the fuck do we live so long? Women have abnormally long lives after menopause because we're actually useful beyond procreating.
Of course it would be good if we had a longer fertility period, but the solution to how unfair it is that men can keep procreating is to never, ever fuck with an older man. Women have to stop that shit and only go with equally young men who still have healthy sperm and avoid kids with autism/adhd.
>>465946>so they're shit at guessing the age of a 29 year old who looks her age.Yep, definitely. It's considered a compliment if someone guesses a late 20s to be in their early 20s but like, why the fuck would they look any different? That's only a few years, there's nothing (natural) that should drastically age you during that period. I think they're conflating 'looking young' with an age they consider young. A 29 yr old can look young because they ARE young, not because they look 24.

My job has this thing where you can reassign specific jobs and orders to others if you're about to clock out or if you go on break.
I work the late shift, so I'm used to getting a bunch of weird orders that haven't been finished, but someone reassigned something almost 10 minutes (9 if you want to be super technical) before they were scheduled to leave and the kicker is they didn't even try to start working on the order.
I reached out to the person who was absolutely still there and I just told her I was disappointed she reassigned it so early and yeah I was being kinda annoying but I definitely wasn't in the wrong
especially because at the end of the day, there are a bunch of orders that haven't been touched because we just haven't gotten to them in time and then this person had the order in their group for like 10 minutes while they went on a short little break
but here's what really bothers me, she kinda had an attitude and acted as if it was completely normal (it might be normal in practice as in many people might do it, but it's not really the policy)–so I'm just confused as to why she seemed to be annoyed with me, I'm the one who has to take care of what she didn't do
Now I'm having these stress fantasies where she tries to bully me as if we were in high school (I'm not going to lie, the highschool setting is probably because she's hot and popular and maybe I wish I could re do those years)
I don't have to work tomorrow so I doubt I'll have to deal with it when I return, but the last thing she said was "and who are you" and I was thinking about saying "I'm the one who has to clean up your shit job" or something bitchy, but that would probably be shitty and turn against me so I just gave her a description of myself
I probably wouldn't feel bad about calling her out, but I'm not making a big deal of it–unless she brings it up to anyone, then she'd be the only one who knew

I don't know if I'm just being a Karen, but this honestly strikes me as incredibly rude. I hate asking customer service for help and having them just give the same canned responses, as if they don't actually care about assisting you and just want you to piss off.
I know your job isn't fun. I'm being as polite as I can, so can you at least do the same, or maybe direct me to someone who actually might be able to help me with my problem? IIRC, with Stripe, declined transactions are supposed to be logged on some sort of dashboard and come with an error code that only the merchant can see. Don't you think it'd be helpful to tell me what the code is so I have some inkling of an idea of what went wrong, and touch ground with Stripe (or my bank) about it? If you personally can't check it, why wouldn't you find someone who can and let me know?
I mean, Jesus christ. Anything but this useless reply.
I'm waiting on Stripe to respond, but I'm not so hopeful about them either. If they think my cards are fraudulent, I have no idea how I'm going to convince them I'm legit. It makes me so fucking upset, because everything was just fine before this.
It's actually making me paranoid, because on the list of decline error codes, the "solution" for the code that's generated because Stripe thinks the person's card is "fraudulent" is "Do not report more detailed information to your customer. Instead, present as you would the generic_decline described below."
The "next step" for the generic_decline code is just "The customer needs to contact their card issuer for more information."
I contacted my card issuer. They said I'm fine. What am I supposed to do? If it's proof you want, why not ask for that? Why deliberately make things difficult and be as obstinate as possible? Are you trying to lose customers or something?
Sorry for autism, I'm just stressed and don't want to dump all of this on people I'm close to.

the median wage per capita in the US is around 30000 dollars, maybe even higher idk, to put it into perspective, the median wage for the whole world is around 10000 dollars, and im pretty sure thats household income too but im too tired to check. the world median household income is literally lower than the poverty threshold for a single american person (around 11000 dollars i think), thats how high the standards of american poverty are. even in your precious europe, especially in central and eastern europe, but i think in a few west europe countries too, the median household income is less than half of the per capita median american wage, and many of those countries have lower purchasing power too. and thats not even touching the situation of the rest of the world. theres also the high purchasing power in america, its pretty much on par with places like norway, sweden, the uk and australia afaik.

They destabilized the ME, and as a response Europe and America flung open their borders to millions of muslims.
The online groups you're talking about are just a symptom. Those can be infiltrated, or deleted, but they will just spring up again because that doesn't address the cause. You can't stomp out tensions between groups caused by proximity without moving, or allowing the movement of one of the aggravated groups. That's the problem.

>>468317The presence of ISIS or ISIS lite ideologies have been stomped out in presence from the mainstream and even more fringe outskirts of the internet. I remember there was a clear interest in ISIS and a lot of sympathizers in like 2015-2016 though a lot of that was aggravated by media panic and moral outrage. There's enough people in Western countries to sympathize with those core ideas so while the whole country wouldn't have been hypnotized under the influence of ISIS since that doesn't happen with most radical ideologies. What at most would have happened is that there would have been an extreme minority that followed it while subliminally influencing the greater, more temperate minority but since the 'good'web users did hell of a good job of pushing it out of sight and so did agents we barely see it anymore. Even if at the forefront it's about Islam the core is that it's about being ostracized and pushed away from society and trying to follow what is right, which is the same core of Alt Right or any other male dominated radical political, religious, or societal movement since forever.
I agree that there is a real live tension of these groups but I disagree that it can't simply just be neutralized or calmed down a little bit. Most people won't remember this for obvious reasons but the American public went from embracing misogynistic and racist views as a part of their lifestyle to women and non-white races being viewed as equal to whites and deserving of the same fairness and respect to the point even the American nationalistic vision of being the worldwide police was gently wrapped in an altruistic delivery. The 90's and 2000's were all about "It's our duty as American to protect the world from the dangers, blah blah blah" in its programming to straight up "fuck those non-whites and muzzies, bomb their countries and close our borders" in just 10-20 years.. from what was being put on the spotlight BY American politics. People like Donald Trump who closely mirrored those views and seemed amicable to the formerly fringe Alt Right wouldn't have been chosen if they didn't want it to.

It all leads me to believe it's ZenMarket. I even made some piddly purchase with a store that uses Stripe just to test things out, and it worked, so whatever's going on is apparently just on ZM.
Stripe's customer service also got back to me saying they wouldn't have blocked me unless I'm from one of a handful of restricted countries (I'm not), and confirmed that the merchant would know the problem. They were also way more polite, so that was nice.
I'm too tired to even confront Zen Market about this, I think I'll just stop using them for a while. There are some nice benefits to it that none of the other shopping services available to me have, but as I've just discovered, the customer service is complete shit and I'm on my own if anything happens. Maybe it'll work again in like a week or a month if/when I really need the few advantages, who knows.

About a year ago, I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years because he cheated on me. I was hurt, but not very much, for some reason? I left because it was logically the correct thing to do but I still liked him. We stayed friends and meet up sometimes. He wants to date me again so I've been considering it until recently.
I met a girl on a website for a really obscure interest. We've only been speaking for a few weeks but when we do it's like I've met my soulmate. For reference, I'm a bisexual girl, and the guy who cheated on me is the only guy I've dated. I enjoyed dating him, but there was always something that didn't… fulfill me. I felt like that hole was filled when I met this girl. I hardly know her, I don't know what she looks like (aside from some baby photos she sent me so I could laugh at them), but we're really honest with each other and I truly feel like there's something there. She hits on me all the time but has also told me she never gets crushes, so I think she's just joking and my stupid ass is falling for it. I hardly know this girl but I can't stop thinking about her. I keep having dreams about her and how I imagine she looks now. She lives near me and has told me that we could meet up sometime if I want, but I think I'd turn into a puddle if I got to see her face to face.
I hardly know this girl and I have an insane crush on her. This never happens to me, all the people I've ever dated came to me about their feelings and I basically said "yeah, sure, let's date." I refuse to tell the people close to me because I'm ashamed of how strongly I feel. And at the same time I have my ex hitting on me completely unaware of all this. I want to find something about her to dislike so I can stop my feelings but even her obvious flaws don't bother me much.
Fuck. I'm a grown woman having my first real crush.

>>468498I'd talk to your partner about this. I had a similar situation and then it turned out while he was inviting me all the time one of his friends really disliked me, but he kept inviting me.
I finally just took him aside bc the guy got obnoxious at him about their "bro time" and was accusing him of letting me control his life, that I never asked for them to invite me and perhaps they never should have again after that became apparent. I made it clear that while I appreciated my bf at the time thinking of me I didn't think it was necessary.
I'd take him a aside and just be like, look, I'm not accusing anyone of anything here and I'm not really upset about it, but it definitely seems like your friends aren't really interested in including me, and to be frank, I don't mind, I have friends, it's ok for couples to have different friends. Maybe make a compromise and while you still go with them every once and awhile, most of the time you either stay home, get some me time, or hang with your friends. You gotta make it clear you really don't mind and would in fact prefer it, nothing against his friends, it's just pretty clear a close, involved relationship with them isn't happening and that's ok.
If he keeps insisting idk. I think it's really kinda weird and controlling when I've heard about guys like this, where you MUST be close to all his friends and 100% like each other and hang out.

Welp, the guy I've been seeing for a couple months who was saying really serious things about our relationship decided to suddenly dump me tonight.
He texted an accusation that he'd seen me chatting to my ex, that he's not an idiot, told me he hated cheaters, and bye.
He just said "I love you" to me but three hours ago, and now suddenly it's 'You're a cheater and I hate you." It's the second time he's baselessly accused me of speaking to my ex, whom I don't talk to and who has a gf. I texted him back to please not do that to me because I had told him I was already upset and exhausted over my failed job interview earlier today. I thought we had settled this issue from the first time. Also said if he was really set on this that he could look at the last messages I sent which were in June. My ex had messaged me something supportive after I went no contact with my mom. Hadn't chatted since.
He never replied, and didn't answer any of my calls.
He said the last girl he saw was "cheating" and then claimed his long term ex also probably "cheated." He said he was a jealous person, but the first time he accused me of cheating I legitimately thought it was a misunderstanding. Guess not, it was actually a red flag and evidently he was going to accuse me again. Either way I don't like being emotionally held hostage and accused of shit I didn't do.
I'm already tinfoiling that he's found someone else and just needed an excuse to dump me, and also concoct an innocent victim story for the next girl to dupe.
I don't care about someone who treats people like this. I just care about my own hurt feelings and my aspirations, and how men like this constantly trample over them when I didn't do anything wrong because of their own insecurities and inadequacies.
At least I got some decent meals and some free shit on my birthday which was literally last weekend. I even introduced this asshole to my dad. That's how much I almost trusted him.
But I never updated my social media to say I was in a relationship for precisely this reason. No one except my closest friends and the one who hooked me up with this dude will know. It's my way of vetting dudes to make sure they're stable and will stick around.

When he accused me the first time I made it clear that I wanted him to talk to me irl, when the concern first happens so the air can be cleared then and there.

>>468737>and the media loves autistic savants. This is seriously one of my most hated media myths. Autists and asspergers are not savants, they are quite the opposite, they have trouble even performing at base level most of the time and require patience from even the most mediocre normies. Their IQ level is average or below. I am completely in favor of tolerance and inclusion but that is very different to giving autists false ideas of self importance that are harmful to them and anyone who has to deal with their bs on a regular basis.
They are not even self aware enough to realize how inept and dumb they are and don't realize the difference between someone being polite to someone really agreeing with their antics and the retardo shit they come up with, the worst thing to do is to put in their heads that they are actually misunderstood savant geniuses, when they believe it, it absolutely ruins them forever.
No. 468763
>>468741This. The reason why autistic savants exist is that they get hyperfixated on some very specific subject and can perform in it far exceeding the average due to the vigorous practice. It's not because they have an IQ of 300.
My friend from school had a brother who was a low-functioning autist, he could barely speak and acted like an animal. People ignore how awful it is for family members to deal with these cases that become extremely violent and can't function on their own at all and only talk about the fabled Rain Man type who's just a sympathetic misunderstood genius. That's why they believe it's "unethical" to seek a cure for autism.
I honestly believe a lot of "high-functioning" autists have simply been misdiagnosed and actually have a shitty upbringing that caused them to be socially stunted and enabled their narcissism. Take Chris-chan for example, it's really up for debate if he's actually autistic or just ruined by his Norma Bates tier mother.
No. 468776
>>468763I highly doubt chris Chan is autistic, he seems way more like a schizoid/cluster A personality disorder. It's just that everyone on the internet thinks they're an expert on everything, and if anyone posts about any kind of mental issues, be it BPD, AVPD, OCPD, schizophrenia or whatever else there will always be commenters saying "nah you dont have that, you just have autism".
Also there is no such thing as "high functioning" autism as a diagnosis, autism is just a range of symptoms and for some the symptoms are more intense than others. I think the term high functuoning is kind if misleading.

but I'm right in saying that "high functioning autism" isn't an official diagnosis, at least according to the DSM5, I believe. Some people have really aggressive cancer that spreads fastly and kills them fast, while others have cancer that spreads slowly and can be stopped, but you wouldn't call it "high functioning cancer". Thats why its misleading, it implies that it has to do with the functioning of the person rather than the severity of the condition/symptom. Based I'm videos ive watched about autism, but if I'm wrong enlighten me.

as for high-functioning while it isn't a formal diagnosis, autism as a diagnosis is a spectrum. the official diag is autism spectrum disorder, the "high functioning etc" is an informal rating given to describe the severity of the symptoms. autism is a social developmental disorder, so it's fair to call it that, because the functioning in this case relates to social function.
also cancer diagnoses do have similar classifications, of course makes no sense to use the same wording lmao.

>"I'm really sorry about what happened last night." No you're not faggot! You were willing to say you hated me and kicked me when I was already down because of some immature bullshit you concocted in your head. You fucking broke up with me over a text message, gaslighted me about something that allegedly happened days ago, and didn't even have the decency to talk to me about whatever imaginary bullshit bothered you.
If you'll accuse me twice of cheating, you'll never stop fucking accusing me the moment you get an idea in your head. You either want me emotionally on edge all the time, or you don't fucking trust me. Wow, such an attractive relationship prospect.
What a psycho.

A mutual friend of my close friend apparently messaged her last night saying she doesn't want to be friends anymore. I don't know the details and I'm not going to bother to pry because honestly… I just… don't care. Or maybe a better way would be to say that I just don't have the spoons to care (pls no bully). We already had a talk months ago about it, and I didn't want her to think that I was upset with her or ghosting her, I'm just… so much more easily mentally exhausted. I like to have my time after work to myself, I like to have my weekends to myself. The talk was rocky, but I just… felt like I had to stand up for myself. Sorry for not accommodating you, but I just decided that for once… I'm not going to stretch myself thin to please someone else. I'm fucking tired. We got our feelings out in the open, and it felt like things got better after that since I didn't feel constantly bombarded by her and tried to make more of an effort on my end to send her little memes and tag her in places to make her feel like I was still there (as much as I could before just sort of shitting out on myself).
Recently in the past month I feel like it's snowballed back into the situation before we had our talk. Conversation after conversation, constantly being invited out, constantly making plans in the future. I feel like she'll take offense to if I say 'hey sorry, feeling tired, don't really want to talk' because she honestly didn't really take to well to it the first time. I still don't know if it's right for me to be selfish or not. She's my best friend and sacrifices a lot for me, I should for her too, right? But I… don't want to anymore.
And then of course our mutual friend comes out to talk to her about not wanting to be friends anymore, and I'm just kind of stuck here. In between knowing that I should offer my shoulder for her to cry on because that's the right thing to do and what the old me would have done, and being 2 seconds away from fucking snapping because I'm tired of keeping up with her and know I'll end up doing the same thing (to my regret).
I don't know what to do anymore. I starting to feel comfortable in my loneliness, starting to finally feel comfortable with myself again after working through a lot of garbage earlier this year… but I feel like a shittier version of myself because I can't be there for her like I used to, because I don't feel like the me from before.
I saw her text but I really don't know how I'm supposed to respond.

>>468883Sorry for deleting the post. I deleted because I misread that she ended the friendship with you, not that the other friend ended the friendship with her.
Regardless, I'm still sorry for both of you. It's a terrible situation to be in.
People do change over time, so do our interests and priorities. I guess now it would seem like a terrible thing to just tell her you're leaving her too.
Though it does seem weird that so many people are ditching her? Maybe she's just the type of bubbly high energy person that only a few can keep up with? I'm not implying she's a terrible person just that well, it's not easy to be friends with someone like that.
I wouldn't like to be in your shoes right now as I've never been blunt myself. I always forced the drifting apart thing and hoped that the other person would get the hint after canceling so many invites, plans et cetera which I'm not proud of, but telling someone face-to-face that you don't want to be friends anymore seems so cruel yet probably miles better than the ghosting like I did.
And while she does deserve a good friend, you too shouldn't be harsh on yourself. Some friendships fall apart and it's not necessarily anyone's fault. Good luck, anon!

>>468887I ended up answering her text but I really don't think I can console her. She said our mutual friend told her she doesn't have the desire to talk to or hang out with her anymore. Now my friend feels like her self esteem is destroyed and she wished that our friend would have let the friendship fade out naturally instead of just telling her 'hey I don't want to be friends anymore'. I sympathize with her, and I feel so bad that she has to go through this again, with someone she was
so close with. At the same time, I know this was the best course of action because I feel like my friend doesn't let friendships fade out. I think it was either our mutual friend end it right there and now, or it would've just become a passive aggressive situation like with our old friends where they kept talking to/inviting her out less and less and she was upset that she wasn't included. Either way she feels hurt.
I don't really know what to do. She's a really nice and hardworking person, and we've been friends for so long for a reason, yknow? But I do think she's just that type of bubbly high energy person, but just doesn't realize how much it takes to keep up with her. I'm scared of bringing it up and hurting her feelings even more.

>>468853>the "high functioning etc" is an informal rating given to describe the severity of the symptoms.Well according to what I've read this isn't even true. From the different articles I've read, the term "high functioning" specifically means an autistic person with an average/above average IQ for their age and no intellectual disability, but doesn't have anything to with the other symptoms. And this is why some people don't like the label "high functioning" because it implies that they function better overall which they don't necessarily, hence why it's misleading and potentially harmful.

>>468976What fucks me up is how these applications still expect you to be in good memorable standing with said reference a few years out. I generally don't keep super close contact with my references once I leave my old jobs. Secondly, I've always performed well but I think even the best performer's accomplishments would eventually be forgotten after 2-3 years in an industry that has high turnover. I'm fine with companies confirming dates of employment, but it's such a shit deal to expect these past connection to care enough to fill out a damn survey.

>>469019Not that you asked for any advice, I just found your situation relatable and wanted to share some ideas that have helped me cope with shitty men while protecting my feelings in the dating realm:
If I make myself too available and put in too much effort early, men will take me for granted and pull away from my enthusiasm. This has always hurt me because the truth is I love being romantic and being in relationships, but too often my feelings get taken advantage of and played. Selfish men will see my joy and want to destroy it just to prove they can manipulate me and exert power over how I feel. Men love having women cry over them because they think that proves their desirability and feeds into their ego.
I choose not to give them this power.
I know them first before I truly reciprocate, a "trial" period–if you will. I don't even let my friends or loved ones know I'm in a relationship until a man has proved his role to me.
Many men enjoy novelty and playing games. Rather than risk sticking my neck out by being direct with my emotions, I let men chase after me to prove what they're willing to do for me. I get plenty of rejections, but I lose nothing at the end of my day. Before, I used to worship any little thing men did for me. I realized I was inadvertently setting a low bar. Now, whenever they're nice and sweet, I express my gratitude but make it known that I expect more. There's no more coddling from me or acting like I don't deserve such respect as a base minimum.
Any man who doesn't put in this quintessential courtship effort wasn't going to get serious with me, and wasn't going to do for me in any relationship I would have theoretically had with em.
What women hurt over in a failed relationship are feelings and ideations.
What men hurt over in a failed relationship are their sunk assets and bruised egos.
I don't make myself vulnerable by emotionally investing off the bat anymore. I take from men what they offer so that if they bail, then they're the ones who've lost. Meanwhile I'm treated to fun nights out, dinners, and shopping.
I'm consistent with this standard and know that there's other men out there that will attempt to replace the former if they're not up to snuff. I don't even entertain that I'm doing something wrong or could have done things differently.
In the past, being the loving doormat, doer, "cool girl," mommy, and free fleshlight got me nowhere and left me with nothing. Even though I was conforming to everything men allegedly wanted.
Anyway anon, don't cut yourself off from relationships if love and companionship are what you want. Just realize their transactional nature and the steps you can take to emotionally protect yourself.

>>469060>Double post, but one day I confronted him about his sudden interest in political videos. He said the reason was because his brother (whom he was living with at the time) wouldn't shut up about Trump. His brother is very anti-Trump, so instead of, I don't know, ignoring him, he looks up some of the claims his brother made and it made him very pro-Trump. And it's been downhill from there.I have had a similar experience as your bf.Interacting with sex positive hypocritical libfems in collage who made everything about Trump and tried to shoehorn politics into everything was infuriating and i went in to a extreme opposite direction just to counter them,thankfully I didn't fall too deep down the right wing Pit and got out of it
but I'm worried that Gen Z and younger generations are going to internalize being "right wing"
Say that a 15 year old who knows damn well that you can't change sex is dogpiled online for being a Fascist Nazi bigot. She's upset, she's unnerved, angry, and confused. Along comes a real right winger, of any degree, who is sympathetic to her and does nothing more than share common sense. This person looks not only super nice, but also super intelligent and wise. Even if this person is actually an idiot. Now the right wing looks sane, if not good. Add to that that while Contra Points has very polished left wing videos,but they're too long, just as nagging as other SJW channels, and aren't as interesting as his older work. Meanwhile, right wing youtubers are entertaining, even if you are hate watching them. And they outnumber Contra Points and Kat Blaque. Contra Points puts way more effort into his videos, but when he gets invited to debates he refuses to go because he's scared of losing and legitimizing the other persons beliefs which makes him come across as a coward.

>>469034I don't understand. You imply here
>>469031 that silence will lead the pedophile to offend, but then in this post, you're going on about how there's "zero intent stated".
If he has no intent, why doesn't he just keep it to himself and leave the child alone? If he can't keep it to himself and leave the child alone, why would the child's mother (or any other adult) be wrong in heeding his admission and keeping the child away from him?
How would disclosing things and letting him be around the child help him not molest the child, exactly? All I can see is the pedophile and his enablers putting the onus on the child to "be careful, because of your uncle's ~*condition*~!" and ultimately, ample
victim-blaming and offender-coddling if anything does happen. Why shouldn't parents and professionals just nip that in the bud and say "Nobody with those urges needs to be around my kid or anyone else's. Let's just prevent this now. He will go to a doctor, and we will protect our children"?
If there's truly no intent, then there is no threat, and therefore no point in disclosing it. If the urges are so strong that they must be spoken of and discussed, then there
is intent, and part of solving the issue would be keeping children away from the person with those urges, and for that person to seek help in the meantime.
Acceptance and positivity for pedophilia does not discourage pedophiles from their urges, neither does it stop children from being abused. It just opens the door for pedophiles to engage in their urges with fewer social repercussions. Abuse can be waved away as a "simple mistake, he couldn't help himself uwu", and that's not helpful for anyone (except manipulative sex offenders looking for an out).
Pedophiles should seek therapy and/or castration. They should not be pining for "understanding" and "acceptance" from the mainstream, because the actions their compulsions drive them to engage in ultimately should never be accepted.
CPS should have ensured that the man continue getting therapy instead of just leaving him to his own devices, but removing him from the niece's life was not the wrong decision by any stretch.

>>465946I used to side with my mum no matter what, I used to justify all of her problematical behaviours even towards me… I'm done with her now, we haven't spoken for two weeks and she's saying that I'm selfish and I'm apathetic towards her struggles which never changed as long I remember, she also brought it on herself most of the time, she likes to stir gossip but act like she wants the best for the person in question, she is always the poor one.
She used to be a
victim and there is no disagreeing on that, she was a
victim for a long time but now she is starting to be a villain herself, she is still under that mask that she is a helpless
victim which jars me the most.
She is almost 50 and guess what she bloody did, fucking take a fucking guess? she went and got pregnant!!! I want to fucking die, I feel like I'm living in a nightmare, she already has five children me being the eldest and everyone has told her to stop having children but she doesn't listen, she wants to have a kid despite her already having much more than the average woman anywhere in the world, we are struggling financially and we don't even have enough room in the house when we're just six -my father doesn't live with us- which is I guess another reason why she got pregnant; that is to fix her marriage, she is always fixing it with children and it is beyond selfish, she is bringing a child to this world when she is too old to even take any care of when this kid starts going to school and the environment isn't even stable, there is no money, no room, no time for a child and this is beyond comprehension, and it did make my father get back to her a little so it is working, good for her I guess….

after a while of contemplating if i should do volunteer work,i decided to send a mail to a non-profit organization in my country to volunteer.i was supposed to go for an interview next week but i have to do an errant i cant skip so i set it for the end of the month
despite feeling quite good the first time i called,now i have started doubting my choice because idk how it will go and what volunteering could be like in the future.my biggest issue is that i decided to do this on a whim and i havent told anyone yet,at least not until the interview.it gets my work involved since it's the family bussiness im working at and i dont think i would have a positive reaction from some people in my family.i already feel bad for postponing the interview in the end of the month and being unable to go on specific dates and times "due to work-related matters" and i dont even know if i will be able to do it at the days im free.im really concerned of anyone finding out and while i know this adds unecessary stress,im thinking about the criticism im going to face in case it gets found out.critisism has prevented me from making choices I wanted in the past and giving up stuff not to upset people/get upset in the process and i dont want that to be a factor for what i plan to do now.in case it doesnt go well,id rather it being my own fuck up rather than a fuck up caused by another person's behaviour
i decided to do this since im in a better mental state atm and want to contribute to something somehow and i think this could be good for me no matter what happens.i hate the fact that i wanna do something worthwhile yet i have to face roadblocks during the process and act in secrecy because im afraid of judgement or even be prevented from doing it.im already kinda regretting going through with this even tho it's a good cause

my study group classmates from uni have been acting weirdly standoffish with me lately and idk why?? i've always tried my best to be nice to them, ask them about what's going on with their lives, lend them my notes, explain subjects they needed help with and update them on what they missed when they skip class. i recently was sick and had to take a couple of days off from class and when i got back i was still kinda sick, they didn't even ask me how i felt or if i was okay, all they cared about was taking pictures of my notes for an upcoming exam.
they've stopped saying "thank you" when i help them with mundane tasks, i always ask them how they did in our quizzes but they just reply with one-liners, during breaks they just go off by themselves and ignore me, and when we do get to hang out one of them lowkey seems to make fun of me because of the way i talk, or if i participate in a class, or if i don't dislike a certain teacher.
i guess i shouldn't be surprised. they'll talk shit about ANYONE, even people they've never interacted with. they're always trash talking our classmates in a group text over the most innocuous reasons, and the one that i feel makes fun of me always jumps at the chance to talk shit about a particular classmate she's clashed with in the past. i've got no doubt in my mind there's a separate group text without me in it where they talk shit about me, too. it kinda baffles me bc…we're in university, all mid-20's women, i thought this kind of petty shit died out in high school.

I was a relatively popular girl, I did cheer, drill, etc. But I decided to befriend a weird anime girl in high school because I was sick of the surface level conversations with my old friends. Plus they started hanging out with the hicks, and I couldn’t stand it. Anyway, we ended up pairing really well (mostly)
We were always together. Long boarding, drinking coffee, throwing parties, etc.
And I was in a very abusive relationship with a boy during the duration of our friendship.
Anyway, we eventually stopped talking for various reasons. She would skin walk me, and befriended my ex. I stalked her twitter a little while back, and was interacting with him. Even though she knows about what he’d done to me.
Hitting me, manipulating me, screaming at me, breaking into my house, etc.
And even though we haven’t talked in years, I am still upset about it.
I wish I understood.

My boyfriend is acting so upset about having to face the consequences of a DUI he got last year.
Ever since this shit happened, his mom has been coddling him. He is the one who got drunk and decided he could drive home, and he called me from the scene of the accident to come pick him up multiple times. He was still really drunk so he doesn't even remember doing that. His mom and brother drove two hours to come and be there in the hospital with him, his mom has been paying for a lot of shit affiliated with this whole mess too. It pisses me off cos he isn't learning his lesson at all.
He was already exhibiting lots of alcoholic signs before this. Pissing on the bathroom floor before passing out, passing out on the porch, coming home with bloody lips, being irrational and angry after drinking. Almost every day something would happen.
He's upset because the people he hit want to file a civil suit against him. I told him to try to put himself in their shoes and imagine how they must feel… but he doesn't care. He keeps saying he feels bad but insists that he shouldn't have to face any consequences for his fucked up actions. I told him what he did was wrong, and he got so upset that I won't have more sympathy for him lol.
Yeah, you went out drinking and driving and crashed your car into someone else's and want sympathy for it? Not only that, but he keeps claiming the people that he hit actually hit him. Yeah, cos it was totally the sober party that hit the drunk guy's car. He doesn't even realize how ridiculous it sounds, especially since he doesn't even remember trying to get me to come there and pick him up before the cops showed up. If he can't even remember that, then how can anyone trust his version of events?
I don't have anybody to talk to about this. I'm just severely annoyed. I'm sick of being portrayed as some bitch because I won't bend over backwards to protect his ego after his mistake. at least have some goddamn remorse for your actions.

My dad is AA and my mom is white,growing up both my dad's side and my mom's side of the family got along and I don't think their was anything odd about us
So I have never had any sort of racial preference and have dated white guys,black guys and Hispanic guys but for the past two years I have been in a long term relationship with my SO who happens to be a white guy and my dad has always disproved of him and his criticisms of him always had nothing to do with race what so ever but 2 weeks ago he revealed to me the reason he's against our relationship was because he's white and he doesn't want his grandkids to come out white i pointed out his wife/me mother was white he responded it was different something something ‘the man.’ And I said oh yeah you’re really sticking it to the mean.

My 32 year old sister is a recovering meth addict and pill abuser, and she's been smoking cigarettes and eating extremely unhealthy for over half of her life, so my family knew health problems for her were on the horizon but I guess expecting it and knowing it's a reality is a different thing. She went in to the hospital recently and they were going to take her gallbladder out but then they realized it was cirrhosis and alcohol-induced hepatitis. They said if she keeps going the way she's going without changing her lifestyle and managing it, she'll have a couple of years to live. She seems to grasp the severity but I'm still worried about her giving up because she's going to pretty much have to get rid of all her old coping mechanisms like binge-eating shitty food and smoking and drinking all at once and find other alternatives, while also being poor and living in a poor ass town in a poor ass state and having no insurance and having a 12 year old daughter to think about (she's not a single mother though, thank god). We can't even be there to support her because we live 700 miles away and we're also struggling financially so. It is what it is I guess. It could be a lot worse, she could have lung cancer or also be diabetic or have pancreatic cancer or something. And my grandmother has had cirrhosis and hep C for decades and that piece of shit is still kicking, so I'm hoping my sister can pull through as well.

All my bullies were kids who grew up pretty rough. With the exception of maybe like one, they're not that much better off as adults.
I might be fortunate in that my bullies are chronic oversharers. In between their feelgood posts where they try their best to make their lives sound idealistic, there's plenty of other posts they make for attention where things clearly aren't well underneath it all.
I would definitely call my bullies selfish, but I actually think their self-centered and narcissistic ways tend to get them into a lot of trouble and cause them much stress bc they don't get what they want. And now they're all at ages and low statuses in life where they can no longer bully to get what they want.

>>469353>>469593It's projection. Many African American men hate being black, so they project it on black women. And they know no one is going to check them except other black women. Not even the so called "nice black men."
Another thing too is that we had a moment to check the anti woman hate in general in the 90s as hip hop became mainstream, but self loathing black women cried racism whenever the white media critiqued hip hop/rap. Same thing happened with black women protecting black men for the cat calling video from a couple of years ago.
We are about 30 years deep in hip hop/rap culture that deeply hates women. Black women need to stop allowing black American men use racism as a shield for their general hate towards women. Because that general hate for women intensifies to a general hate towards black women.

Recently got access back to an email account I got locked out of 6 years ago. While going through the inbox I found an equally old email from an anonymous message service. The message was pretty much just roasting me for breaking up with my ex-fiance and telling me that I was a piece of shit. I can think of a few people it could be but I'm pretty sure it was from my old best friend because her and my ex were pretty tight. I'm more offended by the fact she was too much of a coward to just tell me to my face than the contents of the message, but her unbearable passive-aggressiveness and jealousy were why I stopped talking to her in the first place.

This is totally going to sound like an r/thathappened story, but I’m kind of irked because I live in a big suburban neighborhood with houses close together and there are a ton of families with kids and I hear some child outside screaming like crazy. I look out the window and a little girl had a full trashcan fall over on her legs and she was screaming and crying with no parents in sight, so I run outside and lift this probably 100lbs trash can off this girl’s legs freeing her and then the mom finally comes out and just says “oh, thanks” and they all walk away….??? I mean… I didn’t need groveling or anything but I guess I expected them to be a little more grateful after I literally ran out from my house and freed their trapped child, but whatever lol.

My mom wants to move to europe, which im totally happy for her, but she insists on me going along due to safety issues in our home town/state, which has gotten considerably more violent the past two years, heck there's even a supposed serial killer out and about (3 deaths of college aged girls, all same modus operandi, this year).
But i don't want to leave my life behind you know, its not another city, its another fucking continent across the sea, i will probably never see these people again since i don't have much of a reason to visit the country if i move out (no family, just me and mum). Im gonna miss them, i don't know how to make new friends in a whole new culture even though there's no language barrier, i've known my social circle since middle school.
She's really excited about it and has started requesting the nescessary documents to apply for immigration, it would take roughly the time for me to finish my university to really have everything put together, money, travel and moving expenses, renting a house over there, but she doesn't want to leave me behind here.
Im conflicted, i love europe, i've always wanted to visit so many countries and that could be easily achievable living there, the city she wants to move to is gorgeous and historical, on top of the safety and better salaries.
But that means abandoning my life as i've known it for over twenty years, i've never even left my birth neighborhood! Its just terrifying, i don't know what i would do if i didn't find my place in europe, which is a very likely option, plus my friends, my crush, the goals i had for my life here, i would have to chunk that in the trash.

I'm just sick all these third worlders considering europe as some land of milk and honey and that coming here is the answer while europe has its own set of problems and bringing so many new people in is definitely not the answer.

Why the fuck do writers these days think that being overly provocative and woke type preachy equals great comedy and brilliant writing?
Clip for those who don't knwo what I'm talking about:

reminds me of this absolutely insane clip from Girls. ray is 100% in the right here, but i come to find out that lena dunham meant to mock ray. it actually is a fabulous unintentional own of woke millenials and gen-Zers but it's unintentionally hysterical that lena dunham and her sister and everyone around her thought ray was the laughably wrong and embarrassing one. vid related, it's great.

FUCKING HELL I JUST WANT MY OWN PLACE
I HATE the fact that getting your own place in my town is such a pain in the ass. You either have the super expensive ones or the cheap ones in sketchy neighborhoods. It frustrates for more than a year now and I'm just fucking sick of it. I have a job but NOTHING works out. I just want some peace of mind and finally be able to move on holly shit c'mon. I was so close to move but nothing worked out at the end. And hearing my mum telling me constantly that I need to find my own place isn't helping when I know and want to move out since forever. I hate this so much jesus christ and yes I do pay my shit as long I live with my mum, so it ain't for free.

I have been a heavy smoker for about 10 years, and more recently have been drinking 4-8 beers every weeknight (more on weekends) for the past ~4 years. I've never been attractive but my skin is really going to shit and I'm gaining weight now. Smoking is more something that happened because everybody in my family smokes, but I drink to cope with how I feel about myself and it is inevitably making me look worse so I feel like a huge retard. I also feel like I don't remember/am embarrassed by a lot of my social interactions because I'm mostly either drunk or hungover.
I feel like I'm so easily hooked to things. I don't even necessarily want a cigarette or a drink sometimes, but I find myself chainsmoking any time I'm outdoors, because I won't be allowed to smoke indoors, and chugging down beers before I go to sleep when I am already drunk because I keep opening them from habit. If I have to be so compulsive, I wish I could be compulsively drinking water or some shit like that. I'm never going to be fit but I could at least not be actively destroying my body.

>got horrible messages from cousins who don't even like or talk to me acting as if they knew anything about the situation cause their auntie was so sweet to them

>continue my no contact rule despite my mom baiting extremely provocative things
>sends me texts, letters, and a bday gift trying to manipulate me into speaking with her bc she cannot accept that for once the situation is on my terms

>then turned the question into a pity party about her
>today she sends me another text saying how she loves me, wants dinner sometime, and loves me
I'm not an individual, I'm just an object to her. Since she's over the situation, she's pissed at me because I'm not over it and refuse to take her back when she says so. Like when I was a little girl and she'd force me to make up and hug her after her terrible fights with me.

I was messaging this guy on discord for not even two days before he said he wanted to end the conversation because I wasn't responding fast enough. He acted like everything was cool but then messaged me saying he was trying to get me kicked from a server he invited me to and asked me to leave because the owner wouldn't do it - as I did nothing against the rules. Then he deleted me from his friends list so now I can't even call him out. Is that not an incredibly petty thing to do after saying everything was supposedly okay or am I wrong?

I silently went on a social media purge but the only thing I've kept is twitter. I can't help but think when my best friend realizes that I've gotten rid of my facebook (and eventually my instagram, it's only up so I can go back and download all the pics of my dog before I disable/delete it lol) she'll probably get all grouchy and uppity about it.
Like, it's my social media and I don't want to use it or be so dependent on killing time with it anymore, so why the fuck does she have to care? The way she views it is like "well then just don't look at them/waste so much time on them, but you don't HAVE to get rid of your accounts" but in my head it's like… I don't have the willpower to just not look at them. Even in the first week after deleting the apps off my phone, without thinking, I'd automatically go to click on where the apps would've been, multiple times a day. I have to disable my accounts and delete the apps off my phone to make it harder for myself, because in that moment when I realize I have to go out of my way to log in and reopen my account/redownload the app I'll think "wait, I don't actually want to go on these sites" and I'll stop.
I only know she'll be condescending about it now because she was condescending about it back in college when I said I was thinking of deactivating my facebook for a few weeks around finals. It rubbed me the wrong way, like "yeah, why don't I have the self control to just not go on those sites while I'm studying?" so I just left my accounts up. I just hate how she feels the need to chastise people about decisions that don't matter to her. She used to always comment about an ex-friend who would deactivate her facebook frequently. I still use messenger, but I just don't want to use the actual app or see my feed. I've pretty much stopped posting on facebook and I purged my instagram earlier this year because of another unrelated meltdown, but having an empty feed felt so good and I didn't want to fill it up again.

Was a turbo retard just now trying to trail my town's pokemon go group doing mewtwo raids, managed to participate in one but the bastard got away/I ran out of balls. After that one I failed to join any others. Literally why am I so retarded?? It was just a group of neckbeards and moms with small children yet whenever they were in my line of sight I got into a full on fight or flight mode. At one point I accidentally got in front of them and when I realised that, its like I almost got possessed and power walked int he opposite direction. I am not even sure if this bs I do on the reg can be considered social anxiety as I don't get heart palpitations or sweating or panic attacks etc, I literally just physically can't and get myself out of those situations on autopilot. When I can't get out of them (like at uni and such), I go almost mute, it is so cringe, I thought I'd grow out of this bs but I'm 22 now lmao.

>>470649i thought this was me for a second. you have word for word written out what i've been doing these past few months lol.
i have 0 self control and i physically have to deactivate my accounts and then delete the apps and then block them on my iphone settings because it's the ONLY away to resist the urges to go back on. like you, i constantly closed tabs and pressed where the apps would be until realising that they're gone.
some friends of mine have questioned my methods and taken it personally, one outright accusing me of blocking her before i had to explain what i'd done.
i was far too involved and wasted soooo much time on social media i could honestly just scroll for hours and hours. such a waste of time but i've been in such a better place mentally.
sadly everyone's so focused on updating their lives consistently through social media and messaging on all these apps that i've been quite lonely. only a few friends have been texting me consistently but what can you do. i need a social break anyway, gotta focus on myself and doing what i need before getting back into it.
>>470684i think there's a difference between it personally. i don't go on these boards the same worrying amount as i did on apps like facebook and insta. i think the major reason being is i don't feel compelled to see what people are posting because i'm not attached to them. i also don't feel pressured into posting myself regularly. this board for example is fun for me to read certain threads before bed.

>>470669When she said that whole "well just don't look at your social media instead of deleting it all" it gave me the impression that she felt she was better than me because she might have the willpower to just stop looking compared to me, who can't. Although I actually don't know if she can just wills herself to stop looking or just touts that she can, because she doesn't seem to mind going on it and using it frequently (but her habits aren't my problem and she's fine with it, so more power to her).
I do get what you mean by people feeling inferior though! But fuck, I'm deleting my social media because I don't care to see what you're doing with your life (unless they want to directly catch up with me and tell me), so why would I even care about their social media habits haha. I really don't think I'm better than anyone else, honestly I feel kind of like a loser now that all of the idle time I spent scrolling through social media is just staring me in the face, I feel like an idiot because I don't know what to do with myself lol. I guess I'll figure it out.
>>470689Thank god I'm not the only one haha. I really did feel like something was wrong with me just because I can't stop myself from looking all the time, but the motions are so automatic that I realized now that I did it without thinking! I'm glad you're in a better place mentally now!
I do feel lonely sometimes too, but I think that distance makes it really nice when I do get to see or talk to them. I feel like seeing each other's constant life updates sort of kills the joy of catching up with people. Like it kind of hurts my feefees when I want to tell them a funny story about something that happened and they interject "oh yeah! I saw you post about it!" which is also my own fault for posting about it, but fuck haha. I want to surprise and be surprised by things going on in their life!

>>470768Anon probably doesn't have a support system if the threat of homelessness is looming, and even if she did, sometimes leaving just isn't simple.
>>470759I empathize. It's a treacherous world to navigate alone. Especially after someone has given you a broken heart, a lowered sense of worth, and nothing to realistically support yourself once you leave.
I was in a similar situation as you a year ago. I was with my ex for almost four years. While he was never physically
abusive, he was emotionally negligent, inconsiderate, and very unloving towards me despite all that I sacrificed for him. I had no savings because I struggled to support us, and he always whined about money. I felt alone even though I was technically with someone, which was so much worse than being single to me.
I left him but I had no choice but to move back in with my parents. My mom is an
abusive narcissist. I actually did wind up becoming homeless for a month by living out my car and using my gym membership to shower for work because she was so horrid to me that I abandoned the situation. I only wound up staying for a few months, and then I got a roommate situation.
If you make the decision to leave anon, I cannot say that platitudes like "loving yourself" will fill the void. It didn't for me. I'm being honest in that I fell into the traps of at least two predatory relationships since, because men could sense how insecure and vulnerable I was. You'll be tempted to want to jump back in the saddle again to feel that 'normalcy' of a relationship return, but just know that it won't solve how you feel and may even make your self-esteem worse.
The only thing that helped me move on is time. The pain hurts a lot less, and at least today–despite my ongoing problems–I'm a lot better off than having stayed in that loveless relationship.

toxic and I know what he does to me is abuse, though he only physically hurt me one time. I don't have any friends and my family is no longer close because of course, cutting me off from them was the very first thing he did.

I have PTSD, but it hasn't been too much of an issue over the last couple years. In that time I've only had a few related panic attacks, which I've gotten pretty good at handling, and once in a while I have a sad night, but it doesn't usually last beyond that.
But I swear to god the past month or so has just been the worse for me in terms of being re-traumatized and I'm fucking exhausted. It has just been instance after instance of someone getting under my skin and reminding me that I should never feel safe, that I should always be constantly on-guard and terrified no matter where I go. I've been dealing with it okay enough and getting by, but holy shit last night I had the worst experience.
I've been seeing this guy for a few months, I'll call him my bf for simplicity - he lives very close, so I'm usually at his at least three night a week. I'll come over around 7 or 8, sometimes later depending on work. I've never once felt unsafe - his neighborhood is pretty quiet, his house is well-lit outside, and we take late night walks together often. Last night I pulled up to his house and parked by the curb as usual. I turned off my car and looking down to get my things together when I heard a loud bang against my window. My first thought was that it was my bf just trying to scare me, even though he's never done anything like that before. I yelled "Jesus Christ!" and slammed my hands back against the window out of instinct, but when I looked up it wasn't him.
The scariest part was that confusion and slow realization that it was a man I didn't recognize. He looked angry and confused too, like he didn't know why I was upset. He had a cigarette in one hand a bottle in the other, and for some reason my first thought was that he was going to ask me for a light. He started yelling at me, and I'm frustrated at myself for just how long it took me to lock my door. He kept yelling, "What'd you say? What'd you say girl? Come out here, come out here and see what happens!" I yelled at him to get away from my car but he didn't and I don't know if he's going to leave and I don't know if he wants to beat me or rape me or kill me but it finally hits me to call my bf and I immediately start crying when I hear his voice, and I beg him to come outside and try to tell him what's happening. The man finally starts to back away when I get on the phone but he's staring me down. My bf comes out of the house and immediately to my car, and opens the door and I immediately just start clinging to him.
I finally get my stuff and he brings me inside, tells me the man is his neighbor and is obviously unstable and usually drunk, but has never done anything like that before, just keeps to himself. He's holding me really tight and it finally hits me all the things that could have happened, and suddenly I'm reliving every awful thing that's ever happened to me and hyperventilating and I spend the next I don't even know how long, weeping and shaking and trying not to puke. The guy I'm seeing was so good, so patient and quiet with me, he didn't get freaked out and he made me feel so safe and I couldn't be luckier in that sense. I tried to make jokes later and calmed down a lot, but I had a hard time sleeping. I kept going through that moment of looking up to see this face against my window.
I don't know. I've never been in a situation like this and I don't know if it's normal to be going through it again and again, if that's a normal response anyone would have or if it's my PTSD acting up or what, but I'm. I don't know, sad, and frustrated. Angry that I know this is going to change things for me, that I'm just doomed to live the rest of my life looking over my shoulder and being afraid because even in an every day situation I've been on dozens of times, this time could be different. I'm going to lock my car door the minute I get inside, I'm going to start keeping a knife on me again, hate that I'm going to start carrying Xanax again in case I have another panic attack. I hate it. I hate that I feel this way, I hate being forced to live like this. I missed class this morning and I'm still in his bed because I'm terrified to leave like I have every other morning for months. I feel vulnerable and fragile and weak and I hate this.

I dread having to go back to uni next week so much.
I have so much anxiety that going to class is a challenge every single time. This is already my 5th year and I don't have any friends at all. Pathetic, I know, thankfully my parents allow me to go slow, so it's not like I have super many classes but it still makes me feel horrible. I just want to run away. I'm also not looking forward to having to work in 1 or 2 years too, if it wasn't for my parents, I think I'd just live off the state or do some weird online job.
When I just started uni I was still super motivated and promised myself to have a nice college experience (contrary to my high school days) but in the end it got a lot worse. I walked up to so many people, talked to them, sometimes had really nice chats, but in the end they always left me for others. I really want to know what I do wrong. I tried so many different approachs but nothing ever seems to work. I wish somebody could tell me what is wrong with me, what makes me so unlikeable. I've wanted to lose weight since before entering already, but instead got even fatter, so if people don't like me now, it's probably because of the way I look, but back then I was still somewhat slim, so…? I do have a resting bitch face and am very tall, but I tried my best to seem friendly. I always smiled at new people entering the room, I was never on my phone to seem more approachable, yet instead of sitting next to me, they rather choose to sit next to some grumpy person who barely acknowledged them. It's as if I'm invisible.
Every time we have to do a group project or god forbid go on a trip it's horrible for me, because I don't have anybody to partner up with. And I'm already super scared of the graduation ceremony (if I every manage to finish…), because I'll be the only one without any friends. Sometimes I think of just posting myself somewhere to have people tell me directy what is wrong with me. Otherwise my life will never get better.
I don't even want to think about how disappointed kid or teen me and my deceased grandma would be, if they knew how I turned out to be. In primary school I was number one in my entire age group, even good at sports, looked like I'd grow up to have a super nice body, lovely group of friends, and now I'm a kissless 24-year-old fat virgin, who's too scared to look anybody in the eyes, who's less than just half-assing the few things she does, who's only on the internet and whose only companions are her parents and her little sister.

>>470909Completely agree. I've unfollowed/muted a ridiculous amount of people recently because they keep doing this garbage. They don't even practice any real activism and barely research the subject they're rallying for before making a snappy take based on muh feels and unsourced social media posts. The fucking worst part is how they might rally for one socially dubious thing but turn around and defend another
problematic trait because it's ~more woke~ by some stretch of mental gymnastics. The horseshoe theory might be a meme but they're a living example of it.
I've decided to ditch those people from my life completely though. Have fun being miserable 24/7 and thinking you're a better person for supporting the social media canceling of the week without even knowing what it's about. Maybe you'll wake up one day and realize what a

They didn't last long but I had to uproot my whole life and move across the country back to my parents'. I still check her social media every day.

I went to bed at like 6:45 and slept for 12 hours straight, I feel like a piece of shit. And even when I woke up at 6:30am I went to sleep for another 1.5 hours even though it was totally unnecessary and borderline unhealthy. I don't know why I'm so tired all the time. I exercise 3x a week, walk and take classes so I'm stimulated all the time. I could eat slightly better but I find that I'm above average compared to the usual college student (although I guess that's not a high benchmark). I just went to the doctors and my bloodtest was fine as well.
Everyone except my boyfriend is annoying me too. I hate when my phone rings or I get discord notifications aside from the very tiny group chat I need to make plans for my friend's birthday.
I could have actual problems but man I'm in such a bad mood lately and I don't want to socialize, idk what it is. I also haven't done homework in technically a whole day because i didnt do much before my classes and then fell asleep the whole night. I feel like such a piece of shit if im not always working or pre-occupied. So glad I had somewhere to bitch about this without having to reply to someone or explain myself further.

There's an international competition called EuroCosplay in Europe (held in the UK) that has representatives from European countries competing for the first place. So the French representative made a full on detailed latex suit to cosplay as Pyke from League of Legends who's a muscular bald black guy, but you can barely see his face. The latex bodysuit, complete with muscles, was impressive, took her months to create and swallowed thousands of euros to complete. So what happens? Two weeks before the finals she gets disqualified because pissbabies started complaining about her "blackfacing" for a cosplay because she's a skinny white girl who cosplays as a muscular black guy.
One of the main perpetrators behind this was Fahrlight Loki (she has her own thread in /pt/, a mentally ill tony hiddleston skinwalking tranny who claims to be a hermaphrodite) and the French representative said in her statement that "Are we going to let 'sad people who absolutely want to explain their sexuality on their tweeter profil [sic]' rule cosplay?" and now she's also getting bashed for homo- and transphobia in addition to the racism claims.
In the midst of this discussion I saw people claiming that faking being disabled (such as faking a prosthetic leg or an arm, or a wheelchair apparatus) or fat (such as using a fat suit) for a costume is also just as offensive. Now I've been cosplaying for over a decade and I'm just fucking sick of this happening. The French girl has a point, at the moment the hobby is absolutely ruled by pissbabies who live off of causing misery and controversy around them. Nobody appreciates the art and craft anymore. It's all about this now. Say what you want about cosplay being a waste of time but it still requires a ton of talent to translate a fictional costume into real life. Nobody wants to do that shit anymore unless you got a fucking professional team behind you doing the work in a 600sq ft workshop. It's so much easier to force feed needless political discourse and drag people all day to bask in the glory of social media attention, until you become the next victim yourself.
Fuck, you don't even have to do anything because some jealous twat will attempt to fuck you over anyway, I know a mixed girl who got accused of blackfacing despite her skin being just as naturally dark as it is. And she's not the only one who has experienced this. I'm so fucking tired of the current woke outrage culture. Nobody even genuinely gives a shit about what they're preaching, they just want drama for entertainment and validation for their sad lives. They even speak over black people who say people darkening their skin for a costume doesn't bother them and call them "bootlickers" and "Uncle Toms".
And no don't fucking start telling me WHY it is offensive, I've heard the same bullet points for like five years now. I know them at this point.

>>471304I agree that people get pissed about nothing but I also think if you're dumb enough to do something that you KNOW will offend people, maybe accept the consequences. By your logic, if I spend the con rolling around in a wheelchair for ~accuracy~ and then people call me out once they see me walking, they're in the wrong and I'm the superior cosplayer for 'going that extra mile'.
The cosplay community rips people to pieces for less than this and any smart person would know better. The first cosplay I saw when I googled this was a white dude and you can tell exactly who he's supposed to be without some dumb skin suit. The 'accuracy' debate will always be stupid when it comes to skin color because it's not true.

Can people only cosplay characters that already look exactly like them? what if the character wears glasses? do people will people with miopia throw a hissy fit because a cosplayer has good eyesight? it has no end.

Men dressing up as women for the sake of mockery and perpetuating antifemale propoganda has never been a widespread phenomenon, nor played a major role in our past oppression. Whites wearing blackface has played a pivitol role in promoting discrimination against blacks. In fact, the single most influencial media pushing the antiblack agenda (Birth of a Nation) prominently featured blackface. That movie was the highest grossing movie of all time for decades and heavily credited with strengthening racist sentiment throughout America. Blackface was an entire widespread theme that perpetuated dangerous and offensive ideas of blacks to fuel the vitriol against them. It was highly suvcessful in its goal. There is no equivelent of this involving men and women.
Did this compute even at least a little?

The blackface stuff has not been a thing for like 100 years and no one is making fun of any black person portraying a character. Your take is actually condescending and treats poc as handicapped, like there is automatically something wrong with that color of skin, so much so that someone cosplaying as a black character is inmediatly a negative rather than a positive because they choose that character for their intrinsic positive qualities.

If you feel so oppressed by black people finding white people in brown face/body paint offensive, then I have great news for you: You are well within your legal rights to wear blackface all you want and we can't stop you. However, we are also well within our rights to be offended by it and you can't stop us. No amount of trying to whitesplain why we should just disregard the legacy of blackface is going to change the stance most of us have on it, just as no amount of attempting to educate you is going to change yours. So, go ahead and wear it all you want. And go ahead and whine all you want when people cringe at you.

I just recently found out my bf has a very low sex drive and the worst part of it all is that I feel undesired… He's made sure that I orgasm regularly (and I am lucky for this, most partners won't do shit and expect their partner to suck it up) but it feels so passionless that I stopped initiating for him to get me off. A lot of the time I feel such a disconnect when we're being intimate, just the fact that he could take it or leave it kills my drive to do anything with him. Now I just masturbate on my own most of the time and it feels very very sad. He can usually never stay hard for more than a couple minutes when we do things (we don't do PIV so it doesn't matter functionally, it's more of a mood/mental thing), it's extremely difficult for him to orgasm, and we can go weeks without doing anything if I don't initiate. Even just kissing seems dull and void of passion, and it's one of my favorite things.
It hit me today when I was trying to edge him, he went soft and then was frantically trying to jerk himself off for 3 minutes and I suddenly felt so depressed watching him. This has happened so many times and I tried to be patient and not bring it up, since I didn't want to stress him. I thought it was nerves but he's told me a lot it's just how his body is. We are both so young and only 5 months into our relationship but it feels like our sex life is already dying. I know he really cares about and loves me, he drops everything for me, always wants to make me happy etc but sometimes the lack of passion and romance hurts. I don't want to leave him over this since he shows me he loves me in many other ways, and has improved himself so much for me but it's hard to adjust to.
On a more positive note I am grateful for the fact he doesn't treat me like a sex object or anything. If I had to choose between the two extremes I'd rather he be low libido.

Having no friends nor nothing to do is extremely boring and is making me very sad.
I recently started college and even though I have a small sized group that I'm ok with, I would only consider one girl from there an actual friend but even then we don't really hold similar interests and conversations go dry.
I've already talked with everyone in my classes and I like them, but not enough to hang out with.
I don't even know where to meet friends online.
I feel like I'm wasting my youth by not making memories and I really don't know what to do about it.
I don't have a problem making friends, I have a problem meeting people that I actually connect with, if that makes sense?
There's a really pretty boy in my college that I'm building up the courage to make conversation with but other than that I'm at a loss. I just want one person I can be open with and connect with and hang out with and all that. If you're in a happy relationship, how on Earth did you meet your significant other?
I'm just so desperate to not be lonely that it's laughable.
I'm too misanthropic but I don't want to change myself just to make friends. I think I'm hopeless aaaa AAAA why must I have been born a woman

>>471501>If you seriously consider being disabled and financially dependant on a man "fortunate" You're lucky compared to my disabled friends who don't have a man to support them, and get kicked out of their apartments seemingly twice a year because they get behind on rent.
Your man isn't a financially domineering shit, which is more than what most women working or not can say about their partners.
>Please explain to me how I am in a better position to get back on my feet following a divorce than a woman with a good job?I don't know why we're only allowed to compare your situation to women with the "good" jobs and not the jobs that average women actually get, that is underpaid and overworked. Even if you know these women's salaries you have no clue what their debts and costs of living are.
Why don't you get a part time or remote job if you would feel more secure in working? Don't get mad at other women calling you lucky. Wtf.

Why are you seemingly hellbent on ignoring the fact I have already stated I'm lucky compared to other disabled people, even though I've done so twice now?
>I don't know why we're only allowed to compare your situation to women with the "good" jobs and not the jobs that average women actually get, that is underpaid and overworked. Because my vent is specifically directed at financially independent women with great careers who say this to me. I was extremely clear about that in my first post and once again clarified it in my second that that's who I'm talking about. It is not about low earning women who would also be fucked without a partner, so I have no idea why you're insistant on turning it into that.
>Even if you know these women's salaries you have no clue what their debts and costs of living are. Actually, they're mostly good friends of mine who are pretty candid about their financial situations and how much they spend. They are very good with money and reaping the benefits of what they worked for. However, if they are in secret financial doom they're not telling me about, they should probably stop buying several brand new Louis Vuitton bags a year, going on two week long overseas vacations, eating most of their meals out, and financing $40,000 cars, ontop of all their other luxuries.

>>471506Hey anon, you just started! I didn't meet my very close group of friends until probably a bit later into my first semester.
Have you joined any clubs? It's never too late! It might be intimidating but I'm sure if they're not terrible people (probably won't be), they'll still welcome you. Make friends with your professors and visit them during their office hours (very helpful if you become close to them and are in a pinch with assignments), you might be able to befriend others who are also there or waiting to speak with them. Are there any volunteer opportunities that pique your interest?
I think it really takes a while to really find your people, but once you do, it feels like the best thing in the world. My main group of friends that I first met was sort of like yours- they were very nice and we got along, but we weren't that close or had any similar interests. We met because we were admitted through the same program and it just sort of became a 'I don't want to look like a loser eating by myself in the dining hall so we should all go together' sort of thing lol. I met my main friend group that I stayed with all throughout college through clubs, and gradually got a bit closer with some other people in class (usually partner work, I became good friends with a girl in my language class because of this lol).
If you live on campus, does your dorm hold any special events? We used to have like… 'make a plant night!' or a movie night or like… just other random things that usually offered free food that all of us poor college students flocked to like ANTS. I left my door open for people to come in and talk if they wanted, and I actually befriended someone like this because they saw my posters and were interested (be wary though, I had to stop doing this because my roommates attracted weirdos lol). If you don't live on campus, does your campus have a commuter lounge? I know it's definitely hard to approach people randomly (I still have trouble with this lol, even years after graduating), but it doesn't hurt to strike up a convo if you see a classmate in there (it might work better to approach them alone and maybe ask them for help if there's anything youre confused about? idk study groups are a good way to start meeting more people). Maybe be a bit obvious with what you like if you could? Like wearing t-shirts with something you like or having keychains of said thing you like, it's a good conversation starter and might get people to approach you to talk to you about it!
I wish you the best of luck anon! It might take a while until you really meet people that you
click with, but I hope you do. I always think back fondly on my college years, and I hope you'll be able to have a just as fulfilling experience.

>>471536Thank you for replying anon! That's very sweet of you. Unfortunately, my college doesn't actually have any clubs. I've volunteered to help at an infants school, but I doubt I'll meet anyone my age there since most of the workers are older women.
I go to college in the UK, and it's quite different here than it is in most other countries. We don't live on campus and there aren't any dorms.
Reading about your good experience with college has slightly reassured me, though. I'm glad that your experience has been good so far and I hope it gets even better!

My coworker gave me a fucking anxiety attack this morning. I actually had to drink some water because my throat was tightening and my mouth became dry. Now my intestines feel like they're in knots and I'm in pain after the fact. Sorry it's tl;dr but I really gotta write this out to process what even happened.
We were alone in the office which is typical for mornings, I've barely worked with him for a year and this is my last month. I felt like we were on a level where we could talk about personal stuff and bant, but lately I could tell coworker was harboring some issues with me and I didn't know what specifically for insofar as an event. He has a passive aggressive demeanor and self-admitted temper problems. Before today I got the impression that he gets irked by me. As much as he'd like to feel as if he's in charge, he's not my supervisor so I've challenged him in the past. I can tell there's a power struggle when we talk. It's not a frequent thing though. I've got my issues with him but for the most part I don't think about it long term. Seems to have gotten along with me otherwise.
Well apparently he held a lot of grudges about me.
I was telling him my thoughts on a job interview I had yesterday. He kept interrupting to give his input on how I had misinterpreted one thing or another, his words always betray that he thinks I'm not capable. He doesn't think highly of me and thinks I should settle for any job despite my qualifications, and my position "under" him is his conviction of how I must not be so smart or qualified to do what I wanna eventually do. Kinda egotistical imo.
I was filling out forms for the day while we were talking. I said something about my degrees, and this must have set him off because he's VERY insecure about not having any. He said "Just because people have degrees it doesn't mean people are competent."
Very quickly I realized he wasn't banting and was being serious, and what he was implying about me not so subtly.
I asked him if he had certifications in order to be able to legally do his job.
He said yes.
So I said "Then people who hold degrees and certifications have been tested at certain standards and have proved competency in skills, do you think anyone on the street could do your job just because they've studied it themselves, and would you be ok with that?"
He countered by asking if I cook and if I could make it in a restaurant.
He was expecting the answer to be "Yes" but I said no. Just because I enjoy cooking for myself and entertaining friends does NOT mean I could be a cook at a restaurant with no training or skills! Like hasn't he ever seen Gordon Ramsay and literally every cocky home chef on Food Network get destroyed?
I was distracted with all this and realized, I'd been writing 10-10 as the date on the forms when it should have been 10-11. I let out a "fuck" and he asked what happened and I told him what I had to go back and correct.
He said "Hah, and you think you can be a dream job I've wanted."
It irritated me because he had been distracting me, so I pointed out how it was just a force of habit from yesterday and how writing 10-10 flows pretty smoothly.
Then he goes "See and you're always making excuses too you can't take responsibility for anything you do."
…Like holy fuck you'd think this guy was meticulous and never fucked up before in his life. I caught my mistake, who the fuck cares?
My throat was getting so tight and my eyes were welling up because it was starting to get upsetting.
Anyway throughout the exchange he kept saying I was interrupting him. Problem is, he never gives me the opportunity to state my piece and he frankly says unfair shit that does warrant an interruption sometimes, which I always preface with "To be fair."
Next thing I know, he's bringing up past fuckups from months ago or from when I first started the job. To prove his point of how I am not competent, can't take criticism, and whatever else.
I felt like I was being nitpicked personally and professionally full circle, and it was pissing me off and stressing me out:
He brought up an argument we had over a specimen when I first started because I judged the volume incorrectly when I insisted it was passable. He brought this up to show how I can't handle his criticizing. Except how I grew from that is if I'm unsure of something, I ask for confirmation. It hasn't happened since. This was almost a year ago.
Then he brought up how I had allegedly twice shipped out bags without proper seals. Which flabbergasted me because if I had, no one ever told me. I pointed out how that was unfair to bring something up that happened awhile ago and I was never made aware about (which coworker admitted must not have been a big deal since no one did tell me). I even doubted that it had happened because I'm meticulous about it. He recanted it might have only been once because he might have been confusing me with someone on night shift.
Still, it's not something relevant.
I told him I was starting to feel attacked,he said he didn't feel like he was being aggressive. In fact he felt criticized by me. I ask him how? He couldn't answer with anything specific I had done because I've never criticized this dude! Yet he took this again as me not 'accepting' his criticism of me having been critical of him?
He said he just wanted to see me "grow"–which was so damn patronizing as he's only a few years older than me.
The situatuon wasn't winable but it's not like I could escape. I told him that I've worked in a call center for years before this job. I've had tough college professors. My parents were always super critical.
I said clearly I've taken criticism before and have had to take responsibility for mistakes, and have even taken his too. Just because he's keeping score of the times I didn't appreciate his input doesn't mean I've never done any of that.
I asked him if I've ever done anything he's said, or if I did accept responsibility for something that happened before here.
He answered yes.
Well then there ya go. He was being biased and just wanted to remember the .05% of bad to justify his feelings of superiority over me.
So I told him the reason why I was upset is because there's a context and a place for criticisms. Me having started out with telling him about my interview and it delving into a personal and professional critique was too much.
After that the situation deescalated but I think he's such an asshole now.
He made me hug him afterwards (gag).
He's no professional.
He takes a million smoke breaks. Goes off to "deliver" something to HR but doesn't return sometimes for one to two hours later (so noticeable that our supervisor even says something). Customers hate him and think he's a passive aggressive shit, cause he is. He likes to think because he makes drinking friends that he has patience and people skills but he doesn't.
Ugh.
No. 471574
>>471570I did but in typical fashion he deflected it.
One of the major ones is how him and the guys make sexualized jokes, and I brought up how it's one, not professional and two, could be construed as sexual harassment by someone who cares and is offended by that.
This all really doesn't matter because the supervisor likes me. I think the coworker is jealous and angry because he wishes he could boss me and knows he wouldn't have the sup on board to enable that sort of treatment towards me. The altercation would have never happened of the supervisor was there this morning.
Oh well. At least I leave soon.

Funny cause my bf broke up with me a few days ago. We were forced apart because of his job and I haven’t had sex in months. He wouldn’t even initiate anything by text or video like we would at the very beginning of the relationship, so while I’m sad, I feel relieved?
Recently a dude flirted with me and put his hand on my back in a seducing way and I thought my legs would give out.

Oh boy, this is gonna be a long one so bear with me…
When I try to recall myself from when I was 11-14 I remember being fat, hideous and unloveable, being fat was the biggest of them all, for years, in my head I was the fattest when I was 13, I remember not being able to even look at my reflection, it was extremely hard to acknowledge myself, and when I did look at the mirror all I would see is how big I was and I would bend my body to see what would I look like if I was thinner,, I hated taking photos, I used to play Ragnarok Online (an outdated online role-playing game) for at least 8 hours a day, I also used to watch anime religiously and it kinda fucked up my self-image, I was an ugly teenage girl with a troublesome household and a poor self-image.
I was bullied and harassed almost on a daily basis, I used to get told how I was gaining weight every time a family member sees me, my mum too never stopped telling me how fat I was getting, she would ridicule me and tell me that my body was getting out of control, my siblings teased me about it too… I was never taught to dress or do skincare or do anything like all the other girls considering that I didn't have friends except for online ones and we only talked about anime, my mum -and my whole family on her side- kept making fun of me for being such a tomboy, some even mocked me saying I was a butch, I didn't know what that word exactly meant (I was 12) and I thought it meant cool tomboy type of girls and I told some people online that I was a butch and got bullied a bunch for it on that game, I never really knew how to do anything, I drew anime girls too and made lots of comics that I still have, then when I was 14 I fell into the cosplay/emo/kawaii and later lolita side of youtube when it was still a new concept, it helped me a lot with discovering my feminine side and I actually started doing skincare and I grew into a somewhat normal human, I put lots of effort into appearing normal and I take pride in that…
The crazy thing is last night I hit rock bottom and I was seriously considering suicide which is a different story I shall not talk about I thought it would be a good idea to look back at photos from that time since I really never looked at them all those years and then to my shock, I didn't recognise myself in the old photos in ones that didn't show my face,, my body BMI was something like 18 [pic related], and all those years I thought that I was a fat whale that lost weight, another crazy thing is later after I started recovering from it around the ages of 15-16 I actually became 27 [pic related] and lost weight since and now my BMI is 24 [pic related], it is jarring how FOR YEARS I thought I was fat and in reality I was actually pretty skinny and somewhat underweight, and it is insane how no one helped me but on the contrary, they kept making me feel worse and worse until I discovered makeup/fashion communities on the internet and I'm grateful for them even though they represented insane standereds most of the time, I'm also grateful for the body positivity movement because it helped me a bunch into accepting who I was after becoming overweight and now I have a healthy body and mentality for once, but the movement is still hoarded rubbish for the most part.
For background information: I had the ugly duckling syndrome, so I didn't start to look decent until 11th grade
TL;DR: I thought I was fat at the ages of 11-14 and last night I discovered that I was, in fact, skinny, I probably had body dysmorphia and nobody I knew IRL helped me.

You gave a dog a good life, and gave the dog a good death. Most people don’t even get to die so peacefully. Mercy hurts but it’s the right thing to give to an animal. They can’t understand something like disease, they just feel shitty. It’s much much kinder to let them go.

but tbh I think PNP really couldn't afford regular therapy despite what she spends on drugs and even her plastic surgery?? (I'm not sure about this seems like some of her work is cheap/compd and im not sure how frequently she goes??) She should be able to qualify for state insurance but speaking from experience that basically only really helps with regular doctor stuff (which she should still take advantage of obvs.)
the therapists who take state insurance fill up fast with senior/adults with developmental disability/legally disabled clients. she could afford to make better choices for herself but not the level of therapy she'd need to ~thrive~ if that makes sense??
I still "hope" (in that weird way that we sort of cheer for cows while also being angry they never change lol) she starts because like maybe some would at least get her to the point of getting a job and then she could afford more.
I have "complex" mental health needs and its like….so fucked in the US even though cows annoy me for being nasty people it's hard not to be like well I get WHY you got stuck like this.

And this wasn't in just one community, it was almost every single community and game I ever tried to RP in. There was even a Jared/Holly tier affair in a D&D campaign I played in awhile ago.
Anyway I don't RP anymore except with people I trust and I don't miss the hysterical mentally ill retards who live vicariously through their super special 12/10 magic elf self-inserts because they're depressed and fat IRL.

>>471989I don't think it's as deep as other anons are shaping it to be. Honestly this sort of thing turns me off too.
It's not that I think men aren't allowed to be sensitive, but there's a time and a context for things to be upset over.
Trivial, small things shouldn't upset -anyone- to the point of them crying. If they do then there's something
terribly wrong going on inside of them. Why is it everyone here has suggested therapy for you, but not for your husband who gets misty-eyed when you turn down his brand of crackers? Sorry, but lmao.
You can't respect and be attracted to someone who you feel compelled to mother constantly because they're not being your equal. By the way, if he's ignoring your feelings then you need to address this and he needs to man up.
No. 472045
>>472034She needs therapy because she's insisting on playing this weird martyr who never shows emotions but lets people use her as a tissue, then she gets mad that they dared to have moments of weakness or crying. That's completely abnormal and absolutely an issue that should be addressed by a professional, especially since it's clearly having a negative impact on her marriage. No one should be bottling up their emotions around their spouse of all people. It's a big communication issue.
If the husband is really crying over crackers he needs help too but I suspect thats not the whole story. Couples counseling is probably the best bet tbh.

I could be with anyone else. I could be with someone who treated me better, someone who made me feel loved all the time, someone who didn’t judge everything I do or think.
I wish I didn’t love my partner. I wish I didn’t care at all. In days like today I wish I never met him.
The hardest part is loving him. Knowing that even when I try to deny it, I still love him even when he doesn’t deserve it at all. Sometimes I wish he hit me, or he did something really bad to me so it’d be easier to convince myself he’s not the right one.
I’m not crazy, nor useless. I’m just trying my best every fucking day and I’m still making mistakes because that’s what people do. I don’t mean no harm, I’m just trying to make my best and it’s never enough, it’s never enough.
The saddest part is knowing I could be with someone who loved me unconditionally, who didn’t call me names when he gets mad, who didn’t hit things to let out his frustration. I had to live this with my parents and now I feel trapped in a situation where I don’t know how to get out, how to ask for a help I can’t totally see I need.
I wish I wasn’t in love with him.

Was just my observation. I feel like anyone would get annoyed over having to deal with that no matter how kind they are.
Everyone could benefit from some therapy, esp after dealing with a BPD parent.

>>472080>300 a week on a weight loss program Woah, sis. What happens when you stop the program? Take it from me: Before you throw down money, make sure you have the ability to commit and stick to something long term.
You can't outrun a poor diet.
I think your 1 hour on the treadmill is great and a step in the right direction! Yet you really need to address what you're gonna do about your hunger issue. You need a plan and someone to support you through it, maybe something else in addition like a journal to hold yourself accountable.
It's easier said than done but that diet is going to be the bane of your weight loss journey unless you can think of something to manage it.

"diets" do not work. any diet you pay for, you will lose weight temporarily, then go back to eating unhealthy and gaining it back.
mindful eating = allowing yourself to eat whatever you want, but training your brain not to default to overly unhealthy foods for a fix. the more healthy you eat the less you will begin to crave unhealthy stuff all the time. grab some almonds instead of a pizza to fill up quickly with healthy fat, and have pizza in moderation when you want, for one example. portion control is THE BIGGEST factor in my personal opinion.

I thought weight watchers was mainly online so I'll try and take a look and see if I can get in contact with someone!

>>472102fuck keto and all the other crap the diet industry comes up with. It doesn't matter if you do low carb, high fat, high carb etc as long as you're in a calorie deficit you will lose weight. I'd suggest ignoring social media completely and just set your carbs, fats and protein to what you prefer and what will help you stick with it. Don't waste your money on a diet program. Learn common sense and portion control. No food is evil.

I haven't been to a doctor in years but I'm feeling (a lil) hopeful now that I have a general idea of what to ask and look for.
>>472105The program I was looking at was around 2.8k for a program and I was willing to save up and joinn it. So I'd have no problem saving for meds if I needed it!
But the anons on here are right in the sense that yeah I'd literally have no idea what to do after I finished it.
>>472108Dude holy shit thank you for this. I see this term passed around but no one bothered to help explain it or how it works. This really breaks it down for me!

It doesn't matter if she's blonde, redhead or a brunette, white, black, asian, it's like everyone has agreed that light eye color > dark eye color.
I tried to convince myself the same thing. Brown eyes are warm, it's not the color that matters it's the shape, but at the end of the day, I know I'm just coping. The eye color may not be the most important thing to a lot of people but it is to me. Maybe because my dad has brown eyes and I hate him. Maybe not. I just know I wish I had my mothers green eyes.

They also perpetuated the lie that women who have big butts/hips are all super intelligent, healthy and fertile and will make big brained babies, which anyone can look at high IQed or top college women and see that it is untrue as if any study with no credible source or study on women's bodies like that should be taken seriously, now there's a whole vaginal complex too of plastic surgery companies trying to convince women that if they have long labia's or dark vulvas they're likely to be unfaithful whores and therefore should get their genitals mutilated for males who don't know how vaginas work to be happy.

>>472351Sure the cosmetic industry shill unrealistic expectations but i am tired of this narrative that puts women as babies with no capacity for self determination, just floating through life being brainwashed by everything they come across at face value like perpetual toddlers. Cosmetic surgeries exist in the first place because there was already a market for them, just as with fashion and makeup, believe it or not, is part of human nature to strive to be more sexually appealing, and even beauty standards exist even among women in non sexual situations. Time and time again its been proven attractive people are taken more seriously and are treated better and kinder even by straight people of their own sex, competitive instincts also play a big role, surgeries and cosmetics are not done just to lure men but to compete with other women and self confidence and status boost, this happens even in jungle tribes with no industry of anything whatsoever.

My ex is such a fucking ass, I thought he'd be more mature but nah.
I've known him since we were like 12 (long distance) and we pretty much grew up together and were in a relationship for 6 years. Long story short I really thought we could stay friends but the ass only tries to use me for sex.
Want to go to see a movie together? Nah. Want to hang out, go eat something, check out a new place? Nah, he's too busy. (Not too busy for his other friends tho, he always finds time for them no matter what, then bitches how he dislikes the) Sex? Oh he totally can find the time and drive the full fucking hour to my place.
I know he doesn't owe me his time or anything but he's emotionally immature and really think I wouldn't notice what's going on. Shit I just wanted to stay actual friends with him. I'll just stop trying at this point and let him fade away since he doesn't give a shit.

tbh the only party that doesnt viscerally disgust me rn is the literal communist party, and im torn on supporting them for obvious reasons, even though i find myself agreeing with the articles and stuff like that that they post on their website and in their magazines. theres also the fact that they dont stand a chance at winning a seat in parliament lol.

Dealing with the realisation that my fiance and I are simply not sexually compatible, that his libido will always be too high and his desire to make our relationship "kinky" and become a sub will never go away and that my vanilla self who was raped and abused growing up will always be too uncomfortable to do it so I will never be enough for him….it's been the worst rollercoaster but at least it's almost over. Dissolving our engagement and cancelling the wedding sucked….we had already spent so much on planning, hell the event was in 2 months, we already had a rsvp list and people have bought tickets to come all the way here, now I've wasted their time and money. At least I got a full refund cancelling the honeymoon.
I feel stupid thinking that this would be my happy ending. I thought he was my soulmate. My best friend. Then a month ago he sprung on me that he hated our sex life. It was too boring, 3 times a week was too infrequent, the positions I like are boring. This shocked me, he never asked for any of this. He basically made an ultimatum that if we don't have more sex and make it kinky that he wouldn't marry me.I told him that I'm not comfortable with BDSM, I'm a CSA survivor and J have no interest. Further more submissive men literally repulse me and I'm not going to play his dominatrix. So I guess that's that.
Over the next few weeks he tried to plead and cajole with me to compromise but it's a hard no. I am not interested. And the whole thing just turned me off to him completely so what was the point.
Anyway he dully agreed today that this is the end if we can't compromise. So now I'm just cancelling everything. And then I got to figure out if I'll bother staying in this country or go back home.

Also, I know plenty of people who stayed engaged for years before they got married or called the engagement off. Just in case he's one of those scumbag guys who proposes in front of friends/family and makes you feel pressured into it. Or in case you really do want the marriage but want to delay it until you feel ready.
Just think of it this way, would you rather say no now or go through with a few years of a terrible marriage that you didn't want and end it then, when it will be a lot more messy and hard to get out of?

>>472572Thank you anon. It was tempting to go through with it because I wanted to be married to him more than anything but I didn't want to just become a divorce statistic. We really did have something good before and he had to ruin it with stupid fetish shit. Oh well. Better to rip the band-aid off now…

i have anxiety and depression and i know what i need to do to get help but i just cannot physically bring myself to take that next important step. i've been to my local GP after being the lowest of the low for the past 5 months and she gave me all these resources but i just can't go beyond that. i hate being so self aware because logically i know what steps to take and that i'm not a terrible person and people so care about me and want to help… but then my brain just outright cancels the logic out like no, you're useless, you don't deserve to be alive, you're a terrible person and none of your friends or family actually give a damn… it's just so exhausting. i want to physically motivate myself to do SOMETHING productive but outside of work i just. struggle. to function as a normal human being. all i do is work and sleep. i'm barely eating but still rapidly gaining weight because i don't move except at my job. i'm surprised i even manage to go to work with how much of a struggle it is to leave my bed. and it's such a waste of time, too. i just lay there and think about how much i hate myself and how much i want it to end but i'm still too pussy to actually do anything beyond popping pills or drinking. i want the bad thoughts to go away and i want to be productive and contribute to this household and save for a car and a deposit for a house and i want to LIVE! but i don't see the point. the intense self loathing i have for myself is so strong and overpowering it doesn't matter how much i know it's irrational, it doesn't stop me from thinking it or feeling it. and thankfully i don't have to burden anyone with these thoughts and instead post to an anonymous imageboard. it was bad enough speaking to a doctor about it. i even told her myself i should go to therapy or counselling or actually speak about stuff instead of going back into medication because 1. meds terrify me and 2. when i was last in meds it was a year of trying different types and i got so sick and nauseous from it i just gave up. went cold turkey and didn't go back for a year. i even had an appointment scheduled 2 weeks after the one i had so she could see if i actually did anything with all the numbers and emails she gave me but i cancelled it the day before i was supposed to have it because i'm a coward. and on top of all this grief i have shit from friends and family and work that's contributing to my terrible mindset and i'm just sick of it. nothing is going right for me and i want to give up and just veg out in bed. i want to get better but i don't want to do anything, therefore nothing is going to get better. i need to do things myself but it's just… so hard to just. go and get it done. i don't know, i've been like this since i was a teen i should be used to it but it's just been harder this past half year for some reason. i hope i'm still around for next year, maybe it'll get better.

today when I came back from work, I felt like a car was waiting for me. I have to get down from my car to open the gate to park my car inside, but there was a car with no plates kinda hanging around (its hard to explain but it went around the street a couple times..)
. I am very cautious and always observe my surroundings because I live in an unsafe city (in Mexico, if you are wondering), and idk… I'm feeling very paranoid right now. I'm trying to find a rational explanation, but the cars movements would make sense if they were waiting for me to get down and open the gates. I was looking at the car and took some time to do it because I was observing…
It didnt had plates, and I suck at identifying cars. I just know the color. I can't even report it to the cops. And even if I had something to report, our police are a joke, and corrupt.
I just hope I'm paranoid. I live with my mom and my sister, we are an easy target. I will go buy pepper spray tomorrow, won't do much against a gun but I won't be completely unarmed…

>>472681im literally going through something similar rn anon. its so weird knowing whats exactly wrong with you but you cant get the motivation to get help.
i suggest finding someone you can open up to just a bit in your personal life. preferably someone whose been in the system and felt the same as you. i dont like piling my issues onto my neurotypical friends from childhood whove seen me through my worst but ive started venting to a girl who also has major depressive disorder and has been getting treatment in multiple ways. shes even offered to help with finding a good therapist bc she knows how hard it can be.
i know you mentioned some issues with family and friends, but if you can find at least one person to open up to and push you in the right direction then do it. If not i suggest rescheduling the doctors appointment and try to ask them to help you more by giving you more direct recommendations of therapists that are specialized for your issues. getting help is a long process but i believe youll get it one day anon. baby steps are better than no steps

>>472407 here again,
i complained to the rental agent about all the problems since they wouldn't respond to my maintenance request. they had the nerve to try and refute my claims because "it all worked a month ago" and also said black mold is not a health issue…i took videos of everything proving it didn't work and told them the mold IS an issue and also sent them a doctor's note about my severe allergy. im so fucking mad they don't even pretend to give a shit.

Yesterday a great guy I was dating for a month and a half broke it off. He treated me the best out of any other man I've dated and he pretty much checked all the marks for what makes a desirable man in general. His reasons were that after some time has passed of us being together he just didn't "feel" it and that at our core we're not really compatible personalities. He said that in cases like this it's better to separate than try and change the other person into how you'd like them to be since that's not fair and neither is stringing them along until one gets more attached while the other doesn't. If I had to be honest I didn't really "fall in love" either but I still enjoyed his company and didn't mind dating indefinitely. He's slightly older than me (I'm 24, he's 30) and he said that he can't do that anymore and he's at a stage where he has to consider the future and commitments. He wanted to make it clear that I shouldn't feel like there's anything wrong with me and while I understand that I can't help but feel a blow to my sense of value. I've always had confidence that I'm "hot shit" and that I can make any guy fall in love with me but it seems like that's not the case. Especially getting rejected by a rare good man like that made me feel like I may not "deserve" someone on his level. I know I shouldn't think it terms of quality but that's what I wanted to vent about. Thank you for reading.
tl;dr - I briefly dated a wonderful guy, he decided I wasn't what he wanted and respectfully broke it off but it's made me feel like an inferior woman

>>472841Thank you, I do appreciate that he did that and I respect him a lot for it. Aside from the side effects it was "good" breakup.
>>472842I guess the way I said it came off wrong and arrogant because I was trying to be brief. What I was getting at is that (in my view at least) love can grow over time and two people if they're decent personalities [the hot shit comment] can make it work if they decide to [fall in love comment] even without the "in love" spark. I was trying to make a statement opposite to searching specifically for The One or your perfect match. It looks like it's different for everyone.

I always thought anons were exaggerating when they complained about feeling bad about being older than other students, but today I felt that too.
We made some dumb "get to know each other by interviewing the person who sits next to you and then introduce them to the class"-thing and that girl immediately asks for my age and reveals it to the entire class. Nobody else did that, only her, now everbody knows that I somehow still haven't graduated at this age.
And I know this is unlikely, but I'm paranoid enough to think that she wanted to "expose" me on purpose because she saw that I'm older…
I know that I'm not really old, but to some 18 or 20yo 24 probably feels like ancient. And I'm also just very ashamed for taking so long to graduate.
On another note, she revealed to me that she has a rather unique hobby, which I coincidentally also did for a decade, but I felt too shy to tell her, so I guess I missed the once in ages opportunity to finally make a friend.

>>472866Don't worry too much about it, anon. I know, easier said than done, but one of my friends in uni turns 30 next month and I'm 22 … I really like her, I'm sure she feels the age gap more than me, haha.
And you can always approach her some other time regarding that hobby, maybe weave it into a more casual conversation? Or just be blunt. Both has worked for me and I'm really awkward.

>>472866omfg same anon im almost 24 and taking community college classes and I feel 100. I'm going back to my old uni next year probably and for some reason there are way more older students at the uni in my town than the community college. (depending on the area I've seen mostly the complete opposite unistudents= babies) I basically don't talk to anyone or end up in this??? Unofficial mentor role with the younger students which I hate because I have my own work to do.
Oh I forgot to mention my current school does a program that allows highschoolers to also get credits so my classmates are as young as 15-16 lmao.
Tbh though from talking to my mom this does seem to be a more modern thing? She went for teaching and had to re-do a ton of stuff when she changed majors and basically never mentioned it being weird at all and in fact she loved it a lot more as an older student.

>>472858I think you're reading this situation incorrectly and it sounds like your friend may be involved with an
abusive man. The fact that she didn't tell anyone she's dating him is a red flag (she doesn't want many people to know), she's socially isolating herself from her friends and not doing things she used to (men manipulate their
victims into loneliness), and she's already pregnant after only losing her virginity a couple months ago (again,
abusive men wanting to tie down the woman quickly and taking advantage of her inexperience).
She's doing the right thing by having an abortion, and she probably didn't tell you because deep down she feels shame. Which is why she prefers a stranger to go with her to the clinic.
I think your friend is in trouble and all these facts are causes for concern.

>>472866The one thing I hate about being old and in college (I’m 27) is this sort of doomer mentality that keeps haunting me. I feel like the younger students have less to worry about because they’re still figuring things out and have some type of support from family. Meanwhile I’ve had conversations with other students my age and we’re all constantly doubting ourselves, trying to juggle finances/work and debating whether or not we’re doing the right thing.
And while it seems like younger students are more willing (stupid) to take loans for school and pay them off after all I can think is “fuck if I do that I’m going to be in my forties, half dead and still in debt”
No. 472887
>>472866Same, anon. I'm ashamed of both being old and being too much of a poorfag to start at 18 (had to save up). So I try to keep it to myself for as long as possible.
I doubt this girl even suspected anything tbh. No one notices visually unless they ask, at least in my experience. Most people assume I'm the same age despite me often being 3-4 years older haha. Could just be my acne keeping me looking young though.

>>471908late reply but I'm glad your shoes fit you now!!! How did you stretch them out? Just by breaking them in or did you use one of those wooden shoe stretchers? I feel like I really skimped out a bit by buying clearance shoes, but lucky in a way since they're one of the only shoes that was available in my size (a blessing or a curse? who knows).
My new shoes are coming in the mail today and I'm so excited to try them on! I'm going to fucking lose my mind if the sizing is too off again though lol. I have a bouldering class this weekend and I was hoping to have tried out my new shoes before the class but uhhh guess I'll just pray for the best now!

>>472858So she has ovulated once in the time that she's been dating this guy and got pregnant already, obviously it looks like neither of them are taking any measurements to prevent this which is a massive red flag. Abandoning friends is another flag that often indicates a controlling partner, keep an eye out anon it might very well be that she's young and over her head with this guy, especially given it's her first bf and first sexual partner
Obviously it's understandable that you're hurt by this but it might not be too late. Do you know why he isn't attending the clinic with her? Are they finished already or is she going through all this without him knowing?

My neighbour is a fall-down drunk who is almost 40, but we have fibre crafts in common so I befriended her. She saw me as an ATM, so I told her I could only help her out with items but not money. So I was giving her food, cat food, litter and smoking weed with her when she had none. All is fine, I don't mind her being a mooch because I am pretty lonely. I never felt "used" because she was someone I liked, I wanted to connect with her on a human level, giving her those items was nothing. I gave her old technology that I intended to sell so she could use it and I gave her my wifi password. She had her car reposessed, she had her phone cut off and is officially evicted on the 22nd of this month. She's been using Facebook Messenger to talk to her friends, which excludes me because I don't have social media. Her family refuses to help her for the 17th time she's fallen "addicted" to something and had no money. But just now she decided to shit talk me in the echoey hallway about how I'm weird and quiet and "a fucking hippy". I have no idea what would have sparked her to say anything negative because I've been in the hospital and not home lately/haven't really spoken to her in a few weeks.
So I changed my wifi password. Feels good, even though it's a very minor bump in her otherwise retarded life. Her boyfriend is sick of her shit too and even though he just purchased a 4-bedroom house, he refuses to let her move in. So his PARENTS are letting her move in, and none of them are aware that she hasn't been sober in over a year now. Dial-a-bottle is at the door twice a day here.

>>467859>So if we can only get pregnant until age 35-40 or whatever then why the fuck do we live so long?So we can look after our kids and grandkids, and become respected elders?
That men of all ages are focusing on women within a certain window comes with advantages as well.
