possibly do anything on their end (get my post office to hold it/have it sent to their physical store in my city so that I could go and pick it up) and the sweet representative I spoke to said that she would just sent out another pair for me, with 2 day shipping since I need them for this weekend. I got lucky too since there's only 3 pairs left in my size.
She was so nice even though it was definitely my own fault and I guess it's just basic "appease the customer" tactics, but fuck, she really turned my day around, I'm gonna send the company an e-mail.

>>473135I'm not a career woman and won't earn a tonne but I'm STILL not getting married out of concern for my finances. Even if I didn't have to give away half my assets, there's always the chance I'd married a secret gambler, or someone with a tonne of debt, or who is likely to get scammed, or steals from our account and runs away with a 20 year old. That's not to mention the disastrous effect becoming a STAHM would have (if it turned out that way), especially if we got divorced.
I've spent a lot of time reading about financial disasters and men absolutely can be one. I just see them as a liability.

I just found out that my boyfriend’s parents pay his rent (he’s 21, in college, it’s still acceptable). It’s not a big deal that his parents pay his rent, but more that I thought he was super responsible with money. Every two weeks he ends up broke… and now I can’t figure out where his money is going. His dad just lost his job and he still feels comfortable letting them pay for his rent! Im just being salty cause I’m a middle class fag, my parents are paying for my education but expect A’s and B’s in return, I work, I save half of my paychecks because I’m fortunate enough to not have many expenses at this point in my life, have basically been hyper-aware of money since I was a kid during the recession, meanwhile my boyfriend went to private school, his family was untouched by the recession, and he’s letting his parents foot the bill after his dad lost his job, while also maintaining no savings of his own.

I've had the urge for some reason to write my life story from beginning to now in greentext here on lolcow. I'm probably the most pathetic NEET on this site. I don't know why I want to do this so bad. I know I would be torn to bits by other farmers. Maybe I want someone to confirm how fucking pathetic I am. Part of me imagines the pity I might receive. I've thought about doing this many times. Probably the only reason I haven't is because I would probably kill myself eventually bc of the awful things ppl would undoubtedly say that I would know deep down are true. The other reason is bc it would be a very long story to type out and I don't have a computer/keyboard.

when i was about 5 i went from extrovert happy kid to very shy and angry
but specially with grown men i couldn't even look them in the eyes or said a word to them, the only exception was my dad, even with my uncles i just couldn't even said hello to them, i was so full with shame that i didn't even understand
i always tough it was just my personality and as i grow older i learned to overcome it
now im 24 and these memories of me playing with one of my uncles had somehow surfaced : he was laying in bed and he told to come play "horse" in his lap and i just sat on his pelvis and started "riding"
i don't remember being sad or anything but it was a weird game and the fact that we were alone idk
it just make me wonder it something bad happen and i just repressed it until now, just like this random memory that has now resurfaced and maybe that's the explanation for my change of behaviour as a kid and other things…

and he often sounds exactly like yours, down to the changing the subjects and “wondering” what’s wrong. IMO you’re either not born with empathy or something messed you up as a kid and stunted the emotional growth. My cousin went to private school and I remember him showing huge amount of empathy for even strangers when he was 8, now he has grown into a really kind person. Anecdotal evidence but yeah, as I said, I don’t think private school killed empathy in him.

Unless your bf was saying shit like "we should just ban all disabled people from public spaces they're so annoying amirite" or being a dick to said disabled person/their caregivers, he's fine.
And honestly if my bf's response to me beningly complaining, via text to him and only him, was a lecture about how I lack empathy, I'd ignore him too.

>>474117>>474114I think the reason he took it in the first place is because he's kinda wanted to vape but not enough to use money on it so this was his chance, I guess. I doubt he'll spend any effort on finding new parts for the model in question. I was just a bit disappointed he took it in the first place since the person who forgot it could've tried going back to the McDonalds. He has ADHD and has lost his phone and other belongings so many times - occasionally getting them back only due to luck or strangers holding on to it, he should know a bit better.
Since I'm already posting boyfriend in question is really sweet to me, but I generally avoid talking too much about my mental health with him lately. Sometimes I'll mention I'm struggling really bad and he'll kinda go "don't we all?" and it frustrates me a bit because… no. Of course everyone has bad days and moods, but not everyone struggles with actual disorders and that attitude feels a bit belittling to me. Or I'll say I'm struggling with self-harm more again and his response is "Still?" In his defense he does also give me some comforting words as well when I need it. We have a lot in common and he's such a sweetheart, but he's had quite a different upbringing and life-experience from me and sometimes it makes me feel a bit distanced from him. Can anyone relate to this?

I hate how men involved in my life can never let me be frustrated as a woman in the workforce. Both my stepdad and male coworker have been such shits to me lately regarding my job hunt situation, and neither of them have got a fucking clue what it's like.
My recruiter called me today to inform me that the contract that they were negotiating with the hiring manager for a local company is going to pay me two dollars less an hour (a net loss of over $4k a year) than they originally promised. Putting me at a wage that I started with almost four years ago, and less than what I currently make at the job I'm about to depart.
I have a choice to accept a different job offer that would pay me a dollar more per hour than what I currently make, but it would involve a 40 minute commute one way every day. Essentially eating the extra money I would make in gas and unpaid commute time.
What kills me is that the job that offered to pay me that shit wage actually is very busy and requires a lot of responsibility in addition to personal liability. It's a blood plasma QA job, and these blood companies make a literal killing off people. It's nothing but pure greed on the company's part.
Of course I'm very frustrated about this. Had I never tried to get an education (2 college degrees and 6 years of schooling), or never worked a day in my life (been working since 2009) then it would be one thing for me to suddenly complain.
I want to get out of debt, start saving money, and possibly entertain the thought of starting a family, but I can't do any of that. I'm living paycheck to paycheck and I've fucking had it, I've seen none of my work and sacrifice pay off so far. In fact now it's going the opposite direction!
I want to die yet every time I vent about this issue some male feels compelled to explain to me what's really what and how I just need to settle for this garbage. I guess they assume I have some other male to get married to and financially support me–so why don't I just settle for shit jobs?–but I don't.
My asshole boomer stepdad made me feel even worse by saying platitudes like "Hurr what's yer five year plan where u wanna be?" Well gee dad, I'd love to think about a fucking career goal but these employers think two degrees + ten years of work experience = entry level, soooooo I'm not really sure what I'll get out of five more years at these companies. Who promise upward mobility but can't seem to deliver on that, nor start me out at a respectable rate.
Oh, and of course my stepdad holds no advanced degrees and has never stayed at a single company for more than five years of his life. Yet he knows best, and how dare I think otherwise.
I'm probably just too frustrated right now but sometimes I ask why I even bothered if this was going to be the outcome? It's just slavery with extra steps.

>>474430i'd be more accepting if people were honest about it being a trend and they are doing it as a matter of personal choice, not "i am totally the other gender now gayz, speshul rights, this is who i really am form birth" . No, its just a lifestyle you chose, like being emo or being a tattoed biker or being part of a church, like anything else, having the freedom to do something to yourself doesn't mean universal reality is altered around your dumb ideas.
On that topic, i respect someone who gets a tatoo and can admit it was a cosmetic thing they did because its their bodies and thats it, is no one elses problem, rather than go on a ramble about how much of a deep meaning it has and how profound a statement it was to get that catrina on your shoulder. Who gives a crap, its not an issue if you want to alter your appearence into whatever just think its cool, acting pretentious about it only makes it more vane and shallow somehow. I guess everyone is a different unique individual with the soul of a tortured missunderstood artist in their own fantasy world.

Trans is absolutely an identity that anyone has a right to take up, like being a goth, hippy, investment banker or anything else. It just is a heavily loaded identity that comes packed with transphobia-related legislation. You don't get arrested for shouting insults at a goth, but you do if you write a "transphobic" Tweet.

well shit. first of all, i've been drinking so my apologies to anyone who has to read this. but i just finally got access to an old email, one i've been too stupid to remember the password to for about 7 years. finally figured out the recovery email, got into that one and then got into babbys first email. i went through the sent box to see if anyone had gotten into it and out of curiosity. found a weird email to myself i didn't remember, with a .doc attachment. opened it to find the suicide bait/note my ex wrote me. it brought back a lot of shit for me. he wrote it in the middle of the night, said i was sleeping next to him, having a nightmare when he was writing how he didn't love me and wanted to kill himself. idk if i read it all the way through when i found it, just instinctively emailed it to myself and packed my shit and ghosted. thank fucking god i did too, rereading it is like reading a fucking onion book. the whole thing is like 'i'm so much smarter than everyone and yet i still want to die. and if i do kill myself it'll be your fault and here's why… i only love you sometimes.' jfc i can't believe i wasted my life thinking he was the one that got away, when that boy was a god damn tard. i'm sure he's very much alive somewhere feeling just as miserable as he always was, probably emotionally abusing the shit out of whatever girl he knocked up. who would've thought that four page suicide note would someday make me feel so thankful to have gotten the fuck away from that manipulative moron.

I started putting a bunch of my stuff online to sell, starting with clothes. I’m not a hoarder but being stuck with all of my belongings in a single room is making me tired of feeling crowded all the time. It just kind of sucks because in “normal” circumstance it would be fine to have what I own…like my aunt converted an entire bedroom into her closet space and I’m nowhere at that level.

a good tip I found for making the most of a small space is taking advantage of the verticality of the room, like with shelves, a tall bookcase or tall set of drawers. also putting things on top of those pieces of furniture. boxes for under bed storage too.
it's good that you're downsizing a little too though, hope people buy your stuff! may we both have more space for our things in the future

I'm trying to get rid of a lot of stuff anyway cos I feel like owning things is becoming a bit of a burden. I have too many books so I'm trying to take a couple of bags to the charity shop every time I can, but as I sort through them it's getting harder to let them go. And I have a bunch of clothes from when I was thinner that I can't bring myself to donate even though they take up space - some stupid part of me thinks I might still lose the weight. I think I might have to bite the bullet and just do a full KonMari.

>>474301Afraid not, I‘m in a foreign country, removed from family and friends, there‘s no room for me there now anyway. Yeah I had that experience when for a couple of days I regularly met up with people who liked the same stuff I do, and I was like "oh shit, I feel normal, and what I normally feel actually isn‘t alright". It‘s so strange what you get used to when it‘s just bit by bit.
>>474293I did want him to feel better in general, I could‘ve just ignored it and he‘d have went about his day. He does have a huge problem with not communicating if something‘s up, and sometimes it‘ll build up for months, then he‘ll be quiet for a day and if I stay distant and give space, he‘ll blow up about the problems (that until then I didn‘t know were wrong) and I‘ll be super upset because the relationship feels in jeopardy, coming from (to me) nowhere. And if I pretend nothing‘s wrong and act cheery I can maybe bring him back from the ledge. Actually talking about it before the blowup is always impossible, even though I KNOW something is very wrong.
So in the past him going quiet has been BAD for me and I just dread seeing him again.
Thanks everyone for the affirmation btw, this is very isolating.

Keep working on your social skills, I used to have terrible social skills and social anxiety but I've improved a lot over the years to the point I'm regarded as one of the more sociable people when in a group of people, and not the "quiet one". The trick for me was to mimic people who have good social skills. It'll be undeniable uncomfortable but it will 100% pay off in the end.

I had a dream yesterday about this guy back home. It felt realistic but I kept telling everyone "I don't remember the plane ride" so that kind of set me off in the dream. Anyways, he was so excited to see me. More affectionate and romantic than overly sexual. It felt so sweet until he said "Anon don't leave again! I missed you, I just love you so much." And I freaked out lol. I'm not certain if I will actually meet up with him when I come back. Our relationship is so confusing. I think I miss him though.

I feel so fucking inadequate. I dont want to eat or leave the house and I know Im overreacting like a child.
Yesterday, my boyfriend and his childhood friends and I got together to play this board game and to drink. Some point in we all got quite inebriated and one of his friends brought up how my boyfriend absolutely adores big-tit blondes. My bf kinda loses his shit and couldn’t even look at me in this moment. He just curled into a ball and said “why would you say that” under his breath to which his friend responded “well, it’s true. ive known you since elementary. just exposed you!
Now… I’m an extremely flat-chested asian girl with dark hair.
My boyfriend always loved huge huge breasts and all of that. Blonde white girls and whatnot and it just makes me feel so fucking disgusting and miserable. I will never be what he wants. He is just settling for me. if he could, he’d go get a big tit white girl but he cant. I’m pathetic and feel like ill always always always feel inadequate in this relationship.
I feel like my insecurity will eventually drive us to break up. I hate myself.
No. 474966
>>474961Anon this is a tough one and I've been there too. Hilariously I am a big titted blonde and my ex bf liked petite Asian girls. Everyone has their sexual preferences but there is SO much more to a relationship than physical appearance.
Men are gross and I'll tell you something: they like ALL kinds of girl. They imagine fucking every type of girl there is. Because they are men. As long as your bf makes you feel loved and special (which I doubt or this wouldn't have even bothered you) then who cares. What a man finds breathtakingly beautiful is different to what he wants to jam his dick in.

>>474963He said nothing. I went home later in the night like I heard nothing and I havent brought it up since. I sort of want to talk about it but I hate making myself look more insecure than I already am. I guess he couldnt shut it down because its obviously true.
>>474965Yeah, I think this a lot too. Whats the point if I’m not what he wants? If a girl like that comes his way… why would he even stay with me. Theres been a case one time where a girl in that description flirted with him at work. He lied to me that he told her that he had a gf. Whatever.
>>474966I can see that too. Of course it’s not as if he’s not attracted to me whatsoever… but the thought of him staring at other women and me constantly holding some sort of resentment is really gonna hurt. He doesnt really take the effort to tell me how he’s attracted to me physically so it definitely adds to the wound.
No. 474970
>>474961I know for dudes it's different and I'm not trying to wk for your nigel but if his friends have known him a really long time they might be picking on him for that childish phase where you feel like you even have a type at all.
I know in late middle school hs if anyone talked to me about dating it would be like well known I liked/dated super skinny tall guys or w/e (just an example not true lol). Someone meeting my bf now might be surprised he's shorter/heavier but I don't think he's unattractive I just stopped nitpicking and grew up lmao. Or my tastes evolved. w/e.
They might just be teasing him for being cringy and it might have nothing to do with you at all is what i'm saying. Maybe he thought that was cool and his "thing" in the past and got over it.
On the other side I've usually dated guys who I was their "type" but when they were shitty they'd just replace me with a younger/hotter/edgier model or w/e. So it didn't help in all honesty it made me distance myself from stuff I loved so I'd stop feeling in competition with other women I liked.

For example, I support freedom of speech and think people can be too sensitive sometimes, but the lady at the talk at the talk was so smug about how everyone who is offended should just grow up. She really rubbed me the wrong way. And then the guy at the talk was talking about how all the government should be dismantled while enjoying a cozy life that is supported by the government.

I don't think I'm okay. I told myself this would be my year, this would be my opportunity to meet good friends.
It's not.
I just feel tired, I want to go home. I shouldn't have left my house at all, I thought everything was going to be different here, but it's the same all over again. I've been here just for one month, but it feels like years.
People talk to me, but I know they think I'm just a happy-go-lucky type of person. I always put on this manic pixie girl facade when I meet new people. I cringe at myself, but I cant help it. Even so, forcing myself to be extroverted and social isn't working at all. I know people just talk to me because they are bored and want me to entertain them. I hate when they hype me up with compliments and attention, just to cast me aside the next day in order to talk to other genuine extroverted people.
I'm not going to make any friends. I'm really not okay. I wish I could think about other things, but my mind is spiralling so hard I can't sleep. I feel like shit. I would commit suicide if my family didn't exist. I miss them so much and I feel disgusted at myself for feeling miserable when I know other people have worse problems than mine.
I just wish people would care about me. I wish they would listen to me. I know we got to meet each other just a month ago but I can't help but feel like they're using me. My last and only group of friends did that to me, so now I get paranoid everytime I meet new people.
Will they use me or will they care about me?
I know it will always be the former. I just wish I could give zero fucks.
To anyone who managed to read this nonsense, I hope you have a nice day/night. I wish you happiness.

>>475445hi anon, I enjoyed reading your post. I hope you don't put too much pressure on yourself trying to be an extroverted and upbeat person. How far are you from home?
I came to this thread to post about my own antisocial / social failure nonsense; I'm living in asia temporarily and somehow it's not much worse than the no friends situation back at home- that it's more impossible to make friends makes it easier to deal with somehow. Does it help to think - "What would I even want to do out in the world with friends"? Limiting my envy to the realms of conversation and trust makes it less of a pain.

>>475451thank you so much anon, I hope you're right and everything turns out good. My mother also told me not to force myself and just focus on my things/routine, but it's hard when I feel alone. I have this need to find someone whom I can rely on, but I guess both of you are right. I'll try to work on it. Right now I don't want to meet more people because I think I have enough with my classmates and the people that live with me at the dorm. Maybe in the future, when my mental health improves.
>>475461hi! I'm glad you felt identified with my post. I'm 600 miles away from home, but I don't know anyone in this city and I can't go back home til Christmas. It's the first time being alone by myself, I've spent all my life glued to my family and seeing the same people for almost 15 years. But your situation is "worst" than mine in the sense you are a foreigner.
Regarding your strategy, I don't think it would work for me. I can hang out with people, but as I said, I feel like I'm just an entertainment and I want to be more than that.

For someone who is alone almost 24/7, I'm really quite bad at being alone. I've been pretty isolated from around 2-3 months now and I still desire connection with others and close friends. A relationship too, even though I know that's pretty pathetic. I don't find solitude in being alone like others do. Do I just have to wait to get used to it? Or am I hopeless?

He was the only one besides his mom that had a job and he was incredibly unhappy. I convinced him to move in with me and he didn't want to because he felt obligated to take care of them even though he was nearing thirty years old. I can tell you that now that he's moved out he is very happy and has a great life. He takes care of himself, lost weight, has money and time for himself, and most importantly he doesn't spend all of his free time depressed and shit posting online. When he goes home now he says how depressing it is and how he never wants to move back. I think it's the best thing he ever did for his own mental health and well-being.

I finally cut my narc of a mother out. Since I was in high school she’s been this perpetual victim because things didn’t work out with my father (he was also very much of a dick, and abusive mentally and physically with her a few times)
and she started popping pills. I turned into her mom, and she’s about as worthless as they come now. My grandma foots her bills, cleans her yard, pays/organizes her repairs, and more. My grandma enables her, and I am sick of it.
My mom has been an actual cunt to me for so long, and expected me to be her emotional punching bag and maid for so long.
I cut her off, and she of course tried to manipulate me.
But at this point I just feel a lot of anger towards her, and I have lost sympathy for a lot of addicts after my experience with her. Which isn’t right, but I just don’t care. The abuse I’ve endured for years doesn’t go away.
I’m finally free of it.

>>475927I feel you. I weigh 75kg at 170cm of height but I can't seem to lose the weight even though I ration my portions. Anyone who looks at me probably thinks I eat pizzas a lot but I don't. I eat healthy because I like and I do feel healthy, it's just that it's not reflected on me. If I go to the doctor, she tells me eat soups and veggies, move more etc. Oh, yeah, I had no idea I had to eat light to lose weight. So I've counted religiously my cal intake, because I know people say, well you're probably not aware of how much you eat. Even if I eat approximately 1000cal daily, I still remain the same. The crazy thing is if I eat 1600cal - 1800cal, I also remain the same. It's like I'm stuck. The scale doesn't budge much. It's such a fucking mystery to me. My brothers used to mock me for being fat but they've seen me struggle and even during celebrations and family events I just pass on food and drinks. Yet they remain slim and I'm the one that's the fat sheep of the family.
It's not my main issue but I hate being the fatty in my group. I don't enjoy going out, I don't enjoy life because I just feel so gross. I can't stand looking at myself in the mirror. I hate going shopping. Nothing fits my pudgy body. And then you have people that tell you to just eat less. If I have to eat less than 800cal to lose weight, seriously what's the point? There's no way to maintain that. And I'm not aiming to become super skinny, just dropping 5-10kgs.

My Mum is a borderline hoarder- she’s always internet shopping, and never getting rid of stuff. I say borderline because its not at the point of crawling across stuff or anything, I have a routine to upkeep areas of the house to be habitable. But I hate living around piles of stuff everywhere, clothes that never get washed, mountains of paperwork, toys from my childhood she can’t bear to give away. On the other hand, she’s the type of person to watch Hoarder tv shows, turn to me and laugh “Just shoot me if I ever get that bad!” She’s convinced that everything she keeps is worth something, she’s going to make a profit when she resells it online! But I know her, she will never, ever go to the bother of selling any of her shit. I try and sort through items with her, and she gets gradually frustrated and starts snapping at me, to the point where I’m literally in angry tears and have to not be in her company. She gets agitated and says ‘I know I’m like a hoarder, but at least I keep nice things. It’s my house and my money- I can do what I want with it’
I can’t stand it. It puts such a strain on the relationship between her and my Dad. It feels as if she loves her piles of shit more than she loves us. It’s embarrassing that I could never invite friends over, or we couldn’t have family gatherings. I feel like I’m becoming a neat freak cause I barely keep anything of my own now. I don’t know, I’m just tired of it.

One of my coworkers is such a snooty ass bitch I can't stand her ugh.
We were talking about rent and housing prices at lunch today, one other girl and I are relatively fresh out of college and still haven't moved out yet. We live in NYC so rent prices are exorbitant and we were all just sort of complaining about that. This snooty co-worker was saying how she was planning on moving to some neighborhood a while ago and figured it was nice since there were a lot of new developments and modern buildings in the area. She went to visit and said that she didn't want to live there anymore because, I kid you not, "it wasn't gentrified enough yet, there were still so many ghetto people" and said in probably a few years it'd be nicer.
I'm so fucking dumbfounded because why in the fucking world would you want more gentrified neighborhoods? I live in a decent, very immigrant populated, neighborhood and it's so fucking sad to see shitty new luxury buildings being built left and right and driving up rent like crazy. It sucks to see all the places I loved as a kid shuttered up their windows because they can't afford the insane prices to stay. It fucking sucks!! Housing is already insane and you want it to become more expensive??
We were talking about another apartment related thing and she said "yeah but for that price it probably wouldn't come with a dishwasher or washer/dryer…" Like uhhh, sorry that you can't bother to wash your dishes by hand or go to a laundromat? That's a luxury, not a necessity.
She also frequently makes this very rude comments about where I live like "oh wow anon! I can't imagine living in your neighborhood! It's so dangerous!" Like yeah, it's not fucking Tokyo and there are some shifty characters around, but it's not like there are crips and blood members crowding the streets or other people walking with guns out in the open. It's mostly just innocent immigrant families hustling their way to survive and minding their own damn business! I see more families and small children out and about than I do someone who looks like the caricature of a hoodlum that she thinks my neighborhood is crawling with!

hes the one putting all this strain on her. I

I want to help, I want my mum to not be stressed and worried over finances, but I don't want to indirectly fund his purchases!

Why is everyone so fucking rude? I went to the bio lab at the community college I'm dual enrolled in and I wasn't sure if a class was in session. So I asked, the person at the front desk told me "Well, all the classes take their bio sessions here", how tf does that answer my question? I'm not familiar with shit at this school tf? That should be obvious since I was asking a question. Anyway, the guy in charge came in and I asked him about the job, he told me "Did you apply", I didn't realize that there was an option to apply since it wasn't clearly listed there. He told me that there was an option, so I told him I came in to make sure it was still available since some of the jobs were dated far back. Also the hours wasn't listed, he told me only morning slots were available that last 8-12, so I noped out of there. They should list the damn hours so I didn't need to go through all that shit, could've spent that time studying.

I have this strong desire to go into a STEM career but honestly I'm not smart enough. I excelled at math and science when I was younger but now it feels like my brain has just switched and I can barely do basic math. Even my speech is shit and I can't talk without sounding like a stroke patient. My mom (who is a nurse) jokes I might have brain damage but honestly I think I might from how I always drool on myself, I'm basically a fucking brainlet.

Sometimes people just don't know how to initiate any type of conversation after a fight, much less how to start an apology.

i'm so confused as to how I continually put in zero effort at work and just fuck around on my own personal side projects 80% of the time yet my boss thinks i'm basically a genius and i'm getting promoted.
she asks me for updates on shit and I just lie & put doing the work off until the absolute last minute, and when I show her the end result she's amazed by how good at my job I am. I did the same in high school, college, past internships etc. and also did really well. as a result I have no motivation to ever try hard because i'm getting good results by barely doing anything. I always feel like my luck is going to run out and i'm going to get found out or caught in a lie or something but this has worked my whole life, so…
is everyone I work with just utterly incompetent and stupid, so I just seem smart/hardworking in comparison? is my boss delusional? wtf is going on? are any of you guys the same way?

>>476556You may be really good at your job, and end up 'fucking around' because you ran out of things to do. You may be bringing in enough money to your company that they overlook you doing other things because you're still getting the work done. You may be very good at manipulating those around you–consciously or unconsciously– so they think you're always busy. You may be working in a field or area where even if they know you're not working most of the time, the cost of training a new person would be burdensome. You may just be too self critical; sometimes non-essential tasks lead to new ideas and innovation.
Regardless, don't lie. It's easy to extend forgiveness to someone for a small mistake or error, it's much harder to forgive or trust someone who knowingly and repeatedly lies.

>"people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence". In other words, an employee is promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another." Luck does run out eventually and for some people it means crashing and burning their careers when they reach that point where their incompetence leads to catastrophic results and reputation damage. Don't get overly comfy and try to remain ahead of the curve.

How would you feel if he preferred the younger looking you? If there's more to it like things he's doing or saying then understandable, but otherwise you are just being a shallow knobhead.
Do you not see yourself growing old together? Or did you visualise him looking different as he aged? Or are you admitting you have a problem with young looking men, e.g. ehebeophilia/pedophilia?
If it's only his looks, perhaps you can do subtle things to help change it without hurting his feelings.
My boyfriend put on weight a while back, and although I didn't mind, he said he was feeling insecure about it and was eating more due to work and stress, so I helped him out and we went for more walks together and I helped him a bit with his diet. There's more than sexual attraction in a partner and this is important because we all get old and ugly in the end.

I'm going to vent here about my weird family situation as I have no idea who to talk to without receiving weird looks.
I'm at my last semester in my uni and until now I have been living alone in a small apartment that is owned by my grandparents.
My parents live in a neighbouring town, but few months ago my father got a job abroad which requires him to be away from home for 3-4 months (then is back home for 2 months). My mother can't stand living alone by herself so she decided to live with me. Since it's not my apartment I don't have a say in it but I didn't have that much of a problem with her living with me either.
Now my brother who is 12 years older than me and already has a wife and a daughter. His daughter is 6 years old and basically both my brother and his wife try to spend time with her as little as possible. They send her off to her grandparents for 4 days a week (every week) and for the rest they pay a nanny. It's always under the guise of them being super busy with their work even though during free time they still party a lot. They even hired a nanny to take care of her for Christmas ffs.
While everyone is aware of the problem, nobody calls it out and my mother developed a weird one-sided rivalry with her daughter in-law's family and started telling my brother that he can leave his daughter in her care as much as he wants, and of course he does.
The problem is that my niece is super spoiled and attention starved 6 year old (basically her parents just buy her gift instead of spending time together) and my mom decided to prove how she's the superior grandma by spoiling her even more. This results in kid screaming and fake crying every few minutes, literally unable to stand not being center of attention.
This is already a shitty situation, but what's even shittier is now that my mom lives with me, my niece spends majority of the week in my apartment too.
I'm already not really a kid person and while I try to love my niece, I'm starting to detest her along with my mother and I feel really guilty.
I started spending majority of the day away from home, in libraries or on my part time job, eating shitty food in student cafeterias and so on. I tried cohabiting with and even raising my niece but it's futile since mom just spoils her rotten and acts like I'm hurting her if I don't let her have something right at that moment. Coupled with the fact that kid always demands to have someone to play with, screams for attention constantly, it's just living hell to be in that apartment.
I've considered moving to a new place, but rent in the place where I live is so high my part time job can barely cover it.
I'm deadly tired, hardly finding energy to study and I'm getting fat from stress eating cheap deep fried shit in my cafeteria. I'm so close to exploding.

At 3 am he died and I went to the hospital and saw him for the last time.
He had a stroke last month. I was there everyday with him. Seeing him recover. He would kiss my cheek and wipe my tears when he was conscious. These past few days he just suffered though. Then the second stroke came.

I know this is selfish and irrational, but I feel uncomfortable when someone I'm friends with has other friends.
It's improved since I was a teen and used to lash out at my friends for "pretending to like me" and "not caring if I was dead" but I still feel that regularly, just more diluted and I deal with it differently. I've preemptively pushed away multiple friends who clearly do like me just because I was afraid of them eventually pushing me away. The usual.
Idk. It's probably a combo of being rejected by my father and having a clingy relationship with my mother (only child), so on an emotional level I feel like relations are either "they hate me, find me worthless, and want to get rid of me" or "I'm their world and they love me more than anyone else." So if it's not fully one it must be the other!!
It's just rearing its head again since I made a friend from a group project and I'm growing afraid that he's closer with other people in the group and secretly dislikes me. Obviously it's his fucking right to be friends with whoever lmao, but I fear they're doing it at the exclusion of myself because I'm ugly and too socially inept.
I haven't had to deal with it for a while since I've been isolating myself, which of course convinces me that I'm over it. Like never going swimming and telling yourself that you've now overcome your fear of water lmao. I just don't want to fuck up and either ghost him afterwards or flip out again, since I'm quite fond of him.
Reading this over I know it seems like some borderline bs even though I'm pretty sure I don't have it.
But…I also don't have a therapist or psychiatrist so I'm dumping these feelings here.

I got put on Vyvanse and Ritalin for my ADHD a few weeks ago and I haven't been able to really sleep since. I'm currently on day 7 in a row without sleep. I look and feel like absolute shit. I've read that people have trouble sleeping when first getting on ADHD meds so I'm praying I adjust soon. I have a limited number of sleeping pills I've been using very sparingly because my follow up appointments aren't for awhile, but my country is extremely stingy about prescribing them so I doubt my doctor would give me more anyway. I have had a long history with insomnia due to untreated ADHD, but good sleep hygiene enabled me to have a sort of ok sleep schedule. Now it's completely useless. My brain just won't shut down without a sedative now that I'm medicated. But if I stop the meds, I will become completely dysfunctional again.
If this doesn't get better by the time I see my doctor again or if they don't have any solutions, I think I might actually kill myself. Better to end it quick instead of a long, protracted death by exhaustion I guess.

i'm talking to someone new, and he seems okay, but i don't know if i'll ever trust a man again. even if i do, it'll never be the same. i'll never have those "first love feelings" for anyone else ever again, and i hate that my scummy ex ruined that for me.

>>477630The problem is that I was completely dysfunctional before but also not sleeping well. I slept better than I did now, sure, but think no sleep 4 days in a row instead of 7, or getting a couple hours every other night. I hate being on medication, trust me. I avoided it for years and did CBT only, and while it did help, it didn't close the gap between function and dysfunction. If the pills didn't help me day to day so well, I'd have stopped them the first week. If I could
sleep a few hours a night I'd have no complaints at all…
Also a doctor will not commit you on ideation alone, at least not in my country - here we are literally like 20 years behind countries like the US for mental health. If you don't have a plan or aren't schizophrenic they don't care. Months ago I tried to check myself in and got turned away because I had no plan, even though I just wanted to die so bad.

abusive parents, boyfriends, ect. I’ve never once felt afraid of my husband until tonight. I’m obviously not going to go into details because it could be harmful for me. But I saw something change in him tonight and I don’t know where to go from here. Just leave, that’s what I’d tell a friend, but it’s not that simple. I don’t even have a car of my own, not a friend in the world to relate any of this to. I’ve been thinking it over/trying to sleep it off in my closet for a few hours. I know he’s going to come to bed and blame it all on me in the morning and the thought of it makes me want to just vanish but I don’t even have money to go stay in a hotel. I really don’t know what to do and I’m so scared. I keep replaying it over and over and still I can’t figure out how to get myself out.

This house is mine, not his, and to leave would be more disruptive than what happened tonight. I could assume my cat, my belongings, would be destroyed out of vindication. He’s not a violent person, unless he’s been drinking, and this is the only time he’s ever turned that on to me. If I wait it out, maybe I can be strategic about this. But then again, thinking about it now, I keep going in circles. I just seriously don’t believe me leaving will help anyone. Not even myself.

I cycle between hating my boyfriend and wishing I was dead to feeling nothing at all and hoping that everything will work out so long as I shut the fuck up permanently. I stabbed myself in the wrist the other day and barely felt anything until the pressure built from my veins(?) bleeding profusely under the skin. Now it feels/looks like I broke my wrist as it's dark black from the bottom of the palm of my hand to nearly the crook of my elbow. I just think that if the guarantee of a successful death was the result of suicide, I would lack any fear or worry. I guess besides feeling dumb and numb I also experience anxiety surrounding my mother's birthday this year. I was hoping that her cosmetic surgery mishap would have resulted in her never making it home from the hospital, but I was disappointed. It's like, I really should die. I'm a cloud of misery and people can smell it like rot on me.

I hate my body so much. My entire fucking bone structure is wrong. I was fucked from the start.
On one side, my backbone looks normal, and on the other, I look like one of those plus-sized women who corset train to have smaller waists without losing weight. I'm like a broad-backed fucking elephant. I feel like a monster. No wonder it always hurts when I try to sit up straight.
I know I'm not just seeing things, because even my mom noticed and freaked out, telling me I must have "done something" to myself. What could I have done to alter my fucking bone structure?? I don't even play sports, for fuck's sake.
I Googled, and I might have mild scoliosis. If it's true, since I'm from a third-world shithole with no decent medical care, I'm basically fucked. I can't fix this.
My best bet is probably to lose a lot of weight and get down to around 39kg (I'm currently 51kg). I'll be skelly, but maybe then my back won't stick out so dramatically and I'll look like a normal human being.

I discovered I had flat feet a few years ago. Instead of paying a doctor $500 for insoles that weren't covered under my insurance, I learned about how to fix it with lower leg and feet exercises. I noticed benefits from the first week. Now I run once a week with "barefoot" shoes too so I don't even need to do the exercises anymore

I posted a while back about how I wanted to message a friend from high school on FB but it would be weird because I have a burner account with a fake name. After all that, I finally decided to make a proper FB account just to message her and get in contact but turns out she deleted her account in that period of time.
I miss her so much I really want to get in contact with her again but no one seems to have her contact info. Where did this bitch go why are nerd women like this? I just want to have drinks and talk about what shitty anime we're watching like old days.

dude, I'm so tired of my friends, literally all they talk about is their dogs. I thought I loved dogs, but not enough apparently.
Its hours and hours of dog talk, how their dogs look, play, eat, groom, get photographed, sleep, etc.

Among others, people with C-PTSD suffer from flashbacks and obsession over the perpetrator and do not have the 'I hate you don't leave me or I will KMS uwu' mindset. This is of top of my head as I am at work ATM.
Would love to quote DSM as IMHO C-PTSD is much more like PTSD (as it should be) and not BPD.
There are some similarities, but you can have one or the other or both. They are not the same.
You might as well say that schizoids and autists are one and the same because some symptoms overlap according to your uneducated ass.

My advice is that you try to think people will dump you anyways if you don’t change, not because they don’t like you but because it’s exhausting to give explanations every time someone decides to spend time with other people.

I recently started working with a girl whose work I've really admired for a few years and I'm having confusing feelings about her. I consider myself pretty much straight, but was very confused about my sexuality throughout my childhood and teenage years. I've had really engulfing crushes on girls before, but have pretty much settled on men since I slept with a girl for the first time and it didn't solve any of my questioning in the way i thought it would (I just generally find sex to be kinda confusing and silly- I don't enjoy it that much physically but at least with men I think what I get from it is validation after being an ugly duckling growing up- but that issue is a whole nother kettle of fish).
I'm finding myself feeling pretty obsessive over this girl, though I'm not sure in what way. I don't necessarily feel sexually attracted to her, though that's never really been a component of crushes for me-I've never really felt a sexual attraction to any of my many crushes over the years, it's always been something that just makes sense to do because I like them and want to feel intimate with them? I've only enjoyed sex with one person ever and I wasn't initially sexually attracted to them.
We get along really well so far, and I think she's a really incredible person, I'm in awe of her but also want to be her. We're the same level at work so it's not a power dynamic thing. I kinda think we have been flirting but it's hard to tell what's just girls making friends and what's flirting. I've been wanting to make friends with her for a while, but I didn't even consider the idea of a crush until I found out she was gay, which makes me think I'm just an idiot straight girl larping bisexuality because I admire her so much, and I think that's a bad person to be. I just feel so interested in her and seeing what she's working on and chatting to her. I have an obsessive personality so maybe it's just that but I'm getting the usual symptoms of mentionitis and general obsessiveness that go along with a crush.
Tbh I don't know how to handle the situation whether it's a crush on a girl or a 'girl crush' so what does it matter but I'm feeling a lil confused and crazy, sorry for the extremely long post anons!

I can’t stand my neighbors.
The mom seems to work (most of the time) and the dad is a stay at home. They have 3 young children from different parents, and they are the most insufferable people in the world.
My parents in law own the property I live on, along with theirs (but because they have a rental company managing, it’s a little more difficult to rid of them)
But the dad who is often seen in the front yard smoking weed has the little kids in the backyard just screaming and being terrors. They will be sobbing, screaming, throwing things, doing whatever, and nobody seems to give a shit. I can’t even have my windows open during the day because the children are fucking shrieking. My husband who is finishing his second degree takes online classes and often finds it hard to concentrate because the kids are always being such fucking brats. And I know that they are a product of their parents being pieces of shit, but why should we have to suffer? I so badly want to write them a strongly worded letter, or pursue something more but I genuinely fear retaliation.
I’m in such a miserable position. I fucking hate those parents, and I hate their fucking piss ass children.

My best friend is so negative about so many things I like and it feels awful. I care about her a lot of course, but she turns so many positive things back on me as negative, especially if I'm really excited.
I feel terrible because I know she's dealing with depression and anxiety, but is constantly going off her medication without medical advice. I never give up on inviting her to things or checking in with her when I can, but I don't know what to do about this. Any time we have a conversation, she can talk for hours uninterrupted about what she's been doing or dealing with or what's going on, even topics I feel uncomfortable with but listen to because I know she's enthusiastic, but as soon as I talk about something excitedly she's either uninterested or just throws it back at me.
I feel like a lot of our interactions lately when I'm talking have been like this:
Me: Hey x brand is releasing this thing we both wanted!
BFF: Oh, well I don't care about that anymore, good luck.
Me: Hey I met this person who looks intimidating online, they're actually really nice!
BFF: ugh EW x person I don't like is friends with them!
Me: I got a cute dress from x brand!
BFF: I associate this brand with someone I hate, so I hate this brand now too.
Me: Aw I didn't get tickets to this concert, oh well.
BFF: They're shit anyway, why would you want to see them?
I'm trying so hard to be patient with her because I know she's going through some tough mental health stuff, but I feel worn down. It's not like she's trying to get rid of me, she's the one still suggesting we meet up for lunch or hang out.
I feel like shit and my own anxiety is eating at me because of it. Am I going to inadvertently piss her off by wearing something that makes her upset? By hanging out with the wrong person? By talking about the wrong thing? Am I the asshole? I don't want to make her sad.

I can't stop being pissed at my sister because she said her life was harder than mine.
For this online course about confidence and finding your passion, I was supposed to ask people who knew me as a kid to tell me what I was like as a kid–She said I was spoiled.
Fine. I'm taken aback because I remember our parents handling me so much more roughly, but if that's how she sees me then I can understand that and I'm sure I can try to use that.
But after a bit of back and forth, we're talking about her (big surprise) and I'm willing to listen because it's important to hear her out for reasons other than this course I'm taking. But listening to her complaints, it's small potatoes.
Stuff like "I always had to hang out with your friends because dad was always working and mom had to watch all of you and I didn't have any friends in the neighborhood" or "we all went to Arby's and I hated Arby's and I didn't get to go to the fast food place I wanted". I didn't address it at the time, but how does that make me spoiled? Because I was given the gift of life around the same time as some other kids in the neighborhood? Because our mom had some coupons and didn't feel like taking us to multiple places? You think Arby's is anyone's favorite?
Other stuff like, not getting in trouble when I used her acne stuff, not getting in trouble when I didn't treat the makeup she left all over the bathroom with dignity, not getting in trouble when I went sledding and I wasn't supposed to. By the way, I did get in trouble and I told her what my parents did (ground me, hit me, take stuff away etc etc. The last example in particular baffled me because she wanted me to have gotten toys and stuff taken away from me, and I told her that in a sense they did*, and she just ignored that.
And all of this would be fine if she kept it at "spoiled"–but she went the extra step to say that my life was easier. Despite the fact that they bought her a car and she's literally never paid for her own insurance (even to this day, she's 27 and her friend's parent's pay her insurance which is fucking insane), despite the fact that all through out our life she was constantly given whatever she wanted (wanted to take an acting class, wanted to travel to experience the country of the language she was speaking, literally every week she would ask for money to buy shit).
She'll claim it was because she was expected to get a job, but she had a crappy little lifeguarding job that she only worked in summer and winter–that's not enough to pay for all of the clothes, gas, and food she was always buying. Meanwhile wore the same 6-8 ish shirts through out middle school and high school because they were effectively hand me downs. The only time I bought shoes was when my old ones were too small.
She'll also claim that there were all sort of expectations for her, but we basically had the same expectations–if I didn't get a job, it's not because my parents weren't telling me constantly to get a job. If I didn't get good grades, it's not because my parents were letting me get bad grades.
She'll also claim that I was smart enough to get away with whatever I wanted. If I was smart enough to get away with petty shit, why would I be the type of person to post to anonymous imageboards to complain about her instead of literally anything else.
She'll also claim that I was just given whatever I wanted. That didn't stop our parents from buying her a guitar that she literally never touched even though she wouldn't stop stealing mine. That didn't stop her from getting acupuncture for having sweaty palms even though I've had chronic diseases and a few things that needed surgery.
And the reason why I'm venting now? Because for the past year, ever since my mom kicked me out of the house (because I was too depressed to function properly), she's been asking me for money basically every other week.
I don't get it–you had to get a job early on, you had a bunch of people giving me whatever I wanted, and even though I'm spoiled and you had to learn what it's like to work, I'm the one who has to give you money because you insist on doing a job that pays shit in a city that is too expensive and traveling to other countries whenever you feel bad (that's right, she got fired from a job and wanted to go to lisbon). Even though she's the one who graduated from college, I have to give her money because I started working at a job I don't love but pays pretty well.
And the kicker is that I give it to her–my aunt gives her money, my mom gives her money (she's toxic but she's lonely), and my great aunt on the other side of the family gives her money. And while she does pay us back (sometimes) it's always something else.
My apartment doesn't technically have heat or a working stove, the bathtub doesn't drain properly, and I'm severely depressed (working on it)–but I guess getting spoiled just did wonders for me to the point where I'm a huge fucking friendless loser who has never gotten laid.
I love her and I don't want anything bad to happen to her, which is why I give her money, but it's frustrating to have to hear that through out all of the suicide attempts, loneliness, and depression in my life (less so in childhood, but still), she thinks that growing up was harder for her.
*Basically, I hated playing by myself so I always left my toys at my neighbor's house so I wouldn't have to lug them back and forth. My parents told me I couldn't go to my neighbor's house for a while. In that sense, my toys were taken away because I no longer had access to them.

You’re not the one depressed and she has to understand that. Your mood shouldn’t change for someone who doesn’t care when she talks to you like that. If she's depressed, that sucks but you can’t do more than you’re doing right now and she should appreciate it.

I met this guy who's in the same program as me at uni and now he will not leave me the fuck alone and it's pissing me off so badly.
I only gave him my first name and somehow he found my personal private instagram despite not having any mutual friends or anything. He requested to follow and I rejected it because his profile was blank and I didn't recognize the name, he then sent me a super passive aggressive DM request that was like "Don't get me the wrong way, I only tried to add you because I add everybody in our program, we students need to stick together" and some bs like that despite him only following less than 100 people, and our program has like 600 students so… yeah I'm not fucking buying it.
Me and my friend always sit in a certain spot in our gigantic lecture halls and he figured that out I guess and has started to sit in the same area too. This morning I saw he was in our usual spots so I sat one row ahead and he got my attention and asked if I wanted to come sit next to him and I brushed him off and said no. And he keeps asking me if I want to go to the library after class and I always fucking say no (I don't even like studying in the library at all, I almost always do my work at home anyway, and it's not like I'd get any work done with some thirsty guy breathing down my neck).
Tonight he kept DMing on instagram again and tried to get me to go see a movie with him and I said no, I fucking hate movie theaters anyway, I would hardly want to go with my friends let alone some annoying ass dude I barely know who's clearly just after some pussy.
And he's so fucking passive aggressive and whiny. I hate when men do that manipulative thing where they push your boundaries while acting all smiley and friendly, because if you turn them down, YOU'RE the frigid cold bitch. How about you take a loss like a champ and stop trying to shoot your shot the first time you get rejected? Take a fucking hint, Jesus Christ. I want to be left the fuck alone.
It really pisses me off because I'm a really self-conscious person and now I spend every lecture constantly worrying about if he's watching me or whatever, and I try to pack my shit up and leave ASAP so he can't approach me. Why the fuck are men so persistent? I'm trying to get a fucking bachelor's degree, hop off my fucking dick. God.

My stepdad is being a retarded boomer. He thinks because he's leaving the thermostat at 78 degrees constantly that it's saving money as opposed to keeping the thermostat at a more reasonable 73 degrees.
He doesn't fucking understand that the apartment IS NOT naturally 78 degrees, and therefore the thermostat is working to keep the joint at 78 even if he doesn't hear air kick on.
He hollered at me for turning the temp down earlier because I came home from work and it was fucking hot. We're in the south and the temperature OUTSIDE was cooler than within! It should not be two steps from 80 fucking degrees. It's ridiculous.
So I finally showed him the trick, to saving the precious bill money.
Turn the fucking thermostat off.
Oh and whaddya know? It's already dropped to 76 degrees because this apartment has no business being a fucking oven.

I said two stupid things in class today (guy asked if the professor was following a diagram, I said he was winging it but was corrected by another student, additionally I thought we had to use 3.3 V port for electricity but it was 5V) and set up the experiment I was doing wrong by failing to follow the diagram, I feel so fucking stupid BUT I'm glad I gave myself the chance to be stupid. I actually got help for the issue I struggled with, I went through a lot of college to afraid to speak or even ask for help.
Also I feel bad for coming across as an asshole when people make jokes around me. I don't know how to fake enthusiasm since I don't want to come across as "too much" so I grimace at the jokes the guy next to me makes.
I can't help but look over what happened today in class and cringe so fucking hard, why does my entire existence bring me so much shame and embarrassment. I had panic attack just walking to class today, it was so random. I need to get something for my anxiety before it drives me to utter despair over a small hiccup, it drives me mad how if I do the slightest thing wrong a voice in my head just constantly yells, "Stupid bitch, you aren't smart and everyone wants you to shut up". I usually don't talk or even associate with people because after every interaction I overanalyze what occurred and feel like shit, it's so much easier avoiding all human interaction.

>>478961Jesus Christ I thought it was just my dad who was this crazy with the thermostat. He HATED it when the house was 69° it HAD to be at 70°. 68 was too cold, unacceptable. Only 70° or 71° or 72° if it was too cold.
Honestly, my spouse is kinda the same way. The temp has to be at 76° for him to be satisfied the air is actually gonna turn on, then an hour later it gets too hot and becomes hard to breathe and he'll turn it down to 70°. I told him, "Just turn it down to 74° you don't gotta do it so dramatically."

>>478998 I feel you anon my mom is alive but I don't live with her anymore and she stole money from me when I moved out, got food stamps in my name, stole things from my apartment and sold them for meth money etc. she also used to get mad when I wore shorts or tank tops or bathing suits growing up because of my weirdo stepdad and her not fully trusting him
People are always like "well why don't you visit her?" My sisters are always like "mom said why do you hate her?" Because she's crazy and not a good person, your mom sounds about the same as mine, she adores my brother but acts so nasty towards me and my sisters. I'm willing to bet she's jealous at how much better you've turned out than her, maybe you're more attractive or ambitious and instead of being proud of you like a normal mum, she felt threatened
Don't feel bad for not making her out to be Saint, just because she's dead. Mourning her is one thing but don't feel guilty about your poor relationship with her I hear too much about women who resent their daughters and it's sickening I hope you have another strong female in your life to look up to,

>>479002NTA, but being the black sheep in the family sucks, my mom's the same way. My sister is the golden child, definitely has tons of attention and care aided from my mom and dad compared to me. My mom stole money from me for years. Just this year, she threatened to call police on me basically for finally moving out of town and me & my bf defending ourselves from her ridiculous antics and demands. I had to buy a new phone because it got so bad and I had 2 days to find a cheap and reliable car because the one I had was under my parent's name, even though it was a gift for me. She still tries to get a reaction out of me via voicemails and texts, don't know if she'll ever stop. I think what's worse is she took my old phone number, so who knows what she's said and done to all my contacts. I don't even care anymore lol.
We're way stronger than we think. We're wiser than most after dealing with the person who gave birth to us turning out to be a terrible person. Probably more mature for our age due to all this.
I found my boyfriend's mom as my strong female figure to look up to. She is so supportive for what I had to go through, she tells me I can come over by myself just to hang out with her and she'll make me food, she even helped me get my new phone. So there's proof there's good mother's out there it just sucks we ended up with ours. Honestly, I used to think a bad mother was just one that neglected you, but one that does everything they can to try to frame you and your spouse as evil to the rest of your family was the worst thing I have dealt with in a long time. She did all this all while sitting in her office at her job.

>>477462So I came in to work today and found out he left a package with a note for me. It had a thing I let him borrow a gorillion years ago and in the note he said I was his best friend and he wanted to apologize for not keeping in touch at all.
But it was my fault we don’t talk anymore because I stopped communicating with all my friends. I’ve avoided talking to everyone I know for the last five years unless I couldn’t help running into them.
The note had his phone number so I’ll probably explain myself but idk if his girlfriend knows about this. Most of my guy friends were gay so I don’t know if I’m overstepping a boundary.

After a month of getting hired for my new job my grandmother who I was close to was brutally killed. I took 2 weeks off work, I go back to work traumatized and I started making a lot of dumb ass mistakes and my employer starts running out of patience. I got written up and we had a serious talk and she asked me if I still wanted to work there. After that I tried my hardest to improve and and to be more positive. My boss even told me I've improved a lot and it's great, etc… Fast forward 2 months later–today I was looking forward to work and I even came into work dressed up in a cute costume. Before my shift starts my boss has me speak to HR and she hands me a letter, hr informs me they are terminating my contract right away. The reasoning was for "a business decision" and it's not because I did anything wrong, which doesn't make any sense since they just hired 2 new employees. I feel depressed, embarrassed, rejected and crushed because my improvements didn't even matter, they just wanted to get rid of me asap. I just can't stop crying, I feel humiliated. I took off my costume and left the building. My once loving boss was so indifferent to me. Here's the kicker I had another interview for another job a few weeks prior and I turned it down last minute because I figured things would get better with my workplace and I really loved the people I worked with. I feel like a fucking failure for not seeing this coming and not taking the chance with the other job. I was so dumb and afraid.

Make sure to be friendly and open with your supervisor at your next workplace, and don't be afraid to let them know about your problems.

I just didn't think she had the heart to actually fire me over this terrible event, she was so loving to me that's why I was so shocked. I will definitely take a short break before I get back into the workforce. I'll get too depressed if I'm jobless for too long.

We ended up dating for a few months in Junior year, then breaking it off due to a friend trying to sabotage the relationship. He ended up coming out to me as gay in the first year of college. So 2 years of me still being attached to him and us saying it wasn't the right time. It was such a confusing couple of weeks after he came out, he was also confused too. He explained to me and our other friends a few weeks later "I had a hard time coming to terms because I really enjoyed and loved being around
Anon, but I just couldn't find myself to love her like that." I was basically the "If you don't love her romantically, then you might be gay," girl. Everyone we knew also thought the same, even other gay friends told themselves, "He's either a straight coward or he's gay" lol they were really supportive for both of us.

I had to spend the night at my boyfriends house because there was a flash flood warning right before I was about to leave. my boyfriend’s roomate set off their fire alarm twice at 1 am and 1:30 am drunkenly trying to cook, and my boyfriend set an alarm for 6:30 am, and hit snooze for an hour but I always wake up with the first alarm. When I was grumpy this morning about only getting 5 hours of sleep, my bf asked me what was wrong, I explained that it really threw me off to unexpectedly stay the night, that I have to work until 8:30 tonight, that it was stressing me out that now I’ll have to nap during the 2 hours I have between class and work cause I was planning on getting homework done. His response was “sorry, you never have to sleep over here again”. I’ve been sleeping over at his house for like 2 nights a week for two months, last night was just a weird unfortunate case due to the weather/I’ve been sick all week and need more sleep , and now he made it sound like he never wants me to come back.

I had to work at a call center for a few years post-grad when I got desperate for a job, cause I couldn't find anything else with my degrees for those reasons. I was so depressed throughout my undergrad and grad. At the time I felt lucky to have balanced school and work while keeping my head above water. I was satisfied that my grades were okay, but I didn't have much energy leftover to focus on building connections or doing anything else.
I'm still not using my degrees, but I've found refuge in working office jobs for now. These jobs often require a degree and the work is pretty stress-free (compared to a call center and most retail I guess lmao) plus the pay isn't bad. I would highly recommend soliciting a recruiter to see if they can place you in some kind of administrative position if you don't know where to start. I wish I hadn't wasted my time with the call center-and not to be harsh-but you need a job that actually pays.
>"What do you want to do with your life? What job would you like? What do you enjoy?"Maybe you want a comfortable life. The reality is most of us
don't want to spend our lives working.
My truth is that I want the job that's going to make me the most money, while stressing me the least, so I can go home to do what I want without anxiety. I know in today's compare culture we're expected to have really elaborate answers and complex life plans, but there's nothing wrong with ordinary expectations either.

I hate my dad too, he is a racist black man. I’m biracial half white and half black. He’s colourstuck as fuck, he believes that black men only should impregnate every race. Yet they went their biracials daughters to fuck black men?
I was sexually harassed by a black guy in my school. You would think schools here in England would’ve took that seriously? But there was no proof and they gave him a slap on the wrist. My father claimed that he was “only having a laugh”. I’m always harassed by black or Arab guys and my father is the type to say “be grateful” to me. Never actually say it’s their fault.
He was
abusive to my mother, absent during my youth, never gave me shit, wasn’t in his other kids lives. Awful.
Now he’s pressing on me to have kids because I’m 25? Fuck off.
I’ll do what I want and I don’t want my kids to look like him. I pray they look like the father than me. I hate looking in the mirror sometimes because all I see is a female version of a piece of shit.

Seriously, how pathetic must you be to do something like that… My gf doesn't acknowledge her at all aside from occasional chitchatting, and outright rejects her when this girl starts being pathetic, but it's both baffling and hilarious to see how this girl acts. Notable quotes:

Hell I think you have to some highly questionable shit to be a millionaire. I'm not anti wealth, I'm not against accumulating money for future generations, I'm fine with private property, private school, etc. Even my fairly conservative parents think there is something up with people like warren buffet or Jeff Bezos. I saw a post on instagram of a bunch of zoomers defending bill gates and his wealth hoarding. I mean have they never watched a video on 'that side of youtube'. I saw people where calling out Kylie Jenner for posting pics of some 3 million dollar car, but I saw just as many people (mainly young people) defending her. Kylie Jenner earned her money, but did she earn it ethically. I don't think so. She sells repackaged color pop for a higher price, her eyeshadow palettes cost pennies to make yet she charges high end prices. Maybe I'm just getting old. I feel like kids should be pissed off, but instead they are on twitter feeling bad for Shane Dawson and jeffree star because their website crashed. When the website crashing was most likely done as a stunt just like literally almost eery influencer founded makeup brand. They all crash. They all break the internet. They all sell out.

I feel really frustrated about two things:
1. I submitted a 1500 word proposal to create my own major at university. Turns out the university administration haven't updated the guidelines in several years so there was no reason for me to submit the proposal in the first place because it never would have qualified under the new guidelines, apparently. The administration never got back to me on this, and when I tried to get an answer, one dean wanted to give me a call. She then acted like I had done something fucked up and called my proposal "unacceptable." What the fuck?
2. I don't understand what is going on in my Econometrics class. It turns out we were supposed to have taken a previous econometrics class even though there were no prereqs for this class. The teacher is Chinese and her English really sucks, and she just reads out the powerpoints. I really feel like I'm going to fail the class. It doesn't help that students in the country I'm studying abroad at don't seem to give a shit and love to constantly chat during class. Why the fuck are you guys in class to begin with?

triggered by abuse, a lot of it is genetic.
No. 480014
>>480012that's what he claimed but who knows what actually
triggered it. thing is, there's a lot of people with BPD and they all have different or similar or no reasons at all for having it. you can't shoehorn them all into one big being. & BPD can absolutely be "fixed". maybe i'm just from a country where the mental health treatment is miles ahead of america but BPD is not incurable or untreatable and a lot of people get better and live perfectly normal lives from where i'm from.
you're right it's not "all" but just because you knew one person whose reason you thought was flimsy or he lied about doesn't mean there's thousands of those. maybe he was the exception and not the rule?
No. 480018
>>480014bpd doesn't just "
trigger". it's mostly a genetic condition. i think the reason why there are more women than men diagnosed with bpd is because it's seen as feminine condition, it's not often diagnosed in men unless it's on the extreme side. maybe because men with bpd have different set of symptoms (just like in case of depression or autism) than women with bpd? maybe bpd is overdiagnosed in young women or it's mistaken for ptsd? there are plenty of possible reasons, coming up with some conspiracies is quite silly.
and nah, it's not really completely curable, it can go into recession with dbt and mood stabilizers tho.

As for BPDs in general I sort of feel bad for them and sort of can't. I've met around 5 diagnosed BPDs in my life (yeah my shit luck I guess) and 3 of them have been absolute garbage people set out for ruining lives and seem inhumane and actually evil people with their lack of empathy and consideration for their friends' wellbeing.

I ended up mostly hanging with the two girls but they had to peace out early.
I don't resent my friend, it just sucks to try and give her advice and commiserate with her situation and see her visibly check out when I mention what I'm up to. Even when we show each other what we're into like music videos or whatever, I sit through things and try to engage but when I show stuff it's usually clicked away from after a minute or so. Same with our work, we're in creative fields, her in film and me in visual art. I watch her stuff, have helped her edit, and do my best to be supportive but she never has anything to say about what I do. Which would be fine if it was just that, yknow?
I don't think any of them are bad people. I just am really bummed that I guess I'm that boring when I'm not riffing on stuff when we watch bad movies or whatever. Or maybe it's just that everyone's in their mid twenties and has their pals and doesn't have the time to bother with more?

I absolutely believe Onision is a horrible person, but this interview Sarah did with Chris Hansen rubbed me the wrong way.
She kept dancing around the subject of if they'd done anything sexual, saying things like "doing stuff," or "he'd be….doing…things.." and that's no way to build a case. She was even playing with her hair and sounded completely aloof when asked if she would press charges. I wish she'd had more well put together things to say, she could have really nailed him for a LOT of things but she just sounded like she wasn't getting the platform she wanted to vent and just lost interest.
And I'm sorry, I find it absolutely ridiculous that she "didn't know" it was wrong that they had sex next to the 2 year old during the interview and all these anons came to her defense saying it's because she had been groomed, yet on Twitter she completely admits she knew it was wrong etc, etc.
She wasn't so groomed she was incapable of ignoring having PIV sex next to a baby, it doesn't matter how long she'd spent with them, she knew it was wrong. I agree that yes she had a fucked up time there, but I wish people would stop giving her passes with her fuckups in this situation. All they're doing is creating a situation where Sarah can never be wrong, and if something comes up later she can't refute, her entire story and character is destroyed.
She did fucked up things in a fucked up house, stop defending every action. Let her have shitty parts too, by trying to clean up everything and defend everything you'll just give Onion a chance to swoop in later and gloat if it's uncovered she did something horrible.

This is gonna be such a stupid ass fucking vent. Sorry and thanks if you actually read it lol.
I'm trying to do no nut november (not a scrote lmao) but I feel like an idiot every time I have to fight with myself not to masturbate. Up until around last year or so, I had a crazy high libido and would masturbate every other day, if not everyday. I was always thinking about having sex, even though I was too much of a little bitch to go and hook up with randos all the time. Suddenly last year, it just… died off. I don't really get all that turned on anymore unless I'm in the middle of making out with someone or being touched by them (which is rare), but there's like this dissonance between my brain and my body. My brain is still always thinking about sex and shit, but my body doesn't really respond to it anymore. It's not like "oh now I'm hot an bothered thinking about that, I'm gonna masturbate when I go home" like it used to be, it's just like "well. that's a thought in my head." and that's it.
It feels really fucked up to say but I feel like my brain has been hardwired to always think about sex since I was a kid (I posted about how I was raped as a kid in another thread but it never really seemed to leave any lasting trauma behind- besides this hyper-sexuality I guess), and even though I feel like I'm physically free from the confines of always wanting to get off, mentally I'm still stuck.
Anyway, I'm just trying to convince myself everyday to not masturbate because my body just doesn't want to. I don't get turned on reading smutty shit online anymore or thinking about the same old slutty shit I've been thinking for years now. It feels like a fucking chore to masturbate now lol.

She kept trying to cover her ass in the interview so she couldn't be labeled anything but I don't believe it for a second they had no sexual contact, all 3 of them.
I assumed when people say "groomed" I pictured something different, not an 18 year old girl having sex with a child just feet away from her.
Like her levels of morality are all over the place and it's clear she's just trying to hide her own level of involvement or how complacent she was.
NOBODY is going to say "It was wrong for him to comment on my butt because I was underage, but I'm 18 now so having a threesome next to a child is different because I'm of consenting age." That's not an understandable position for someone to have even if they were groomed from a young age. She's clearly hiding and changing things around and I don't understand how people can buy it from her 100%. But then again I know if anyone doubts their story it's grounds to be called a

Well, it’s time for my weekly rant. Normally I’ll post these looking for a kind-hearted anon to give advice or even a snarky one to whip me into shape. But today, I don’t want to hear shit from anyone. It’s my birthday and somehow everything always goes wrong on my birthday. It’s supposed to be my day, but every year I’m knocked down a peg for wanting something good to happen. Even since I was a kid, my birthday is consistently a shitty shit day. Today has been a real doozy, even considering my birthday track record. For one, I got my period, complete with debilitating, gut wrenching cramps, so I’ve spent most of the day in bed. Typically, I’d put a movie on or some mind numbing tv to dull the pain (it doesn’t really work but it’s my comfort food), however the internet was out all day. It was at first annoying, kind of weird, but after 5 hours, it became infuriating. I did the whole reset, unplug, repeat through gritted teeth because I was the only one home. But to no avail, so I tried to call the isp, of course they don’t pick up, since it’s not a big corporate isp, I’ll have to wait until 12pm tomorrow to call them back. Then my room mate gets home, who on his best days, I cannot stand. I ask him if he knows anything about the internet being down since he’s the account holder, in fact, he checks his bank account and hasn’t made the automatic payment in three months!! So our isp probably just cut the cord on us, due to his negligence! Amazing news. I can’t hold back my rage at this point and rather than scream at the poor dimwit, I go lay down to have a angry cry with my cramps in full force. Room mate knocks on the door, the balls on this fucker never cease to amaze, he says that we need to install a new isp ASAP so he can play his video games and asks me to pay my share on a new deposit. I blow up, finally, and tell him I’ll set it up, as he obviously can’t be trusted to pay on time, like every other responsible adult in the world. I really shouldn’t have offered to do this, because I’m probably the brokest bitch in the house. I work full time and yet struggle financially every single month. It’s nothing special, I’ve got normal bills, classes, rent and a cat to take care of, but my roommates get money from mommy and daddy so i should’ve just let them carry the brunt of this new bill, who knows how much it’ll be since we live in a difficult area to service with internet. We were lucky to have the last isp we did for so long, wasn’t great, but got the job done. Anyway. It’s been a fantastic birthday not a single person remembered and I can’t wait to see what the next year brings. /s

Ugh why did I let myself get talked into meeting with Mormon missionaries next week. I will never convert to that trad-tard religion so there was no point in saying yes. I just couldn't find it in my heart to be rude to the sweet girls who buttered me up with compliments before asking me if I was interested in learning more about the Book of Mormon. In the moment I thought it wouldn't hurt to just learn more about stuff but now it's obvi to me that they wouldn't bother if they aren't looking for converts. I guess they realized the dorky white guys riding bikes approach wasn't working for them and rebranded. I would have never even acknowledged Zachariah's existence. Damn I feel bamboozled.

I know a couple women who knew they had to get an abortion for one reason or another (one never wants kids ever and the other knew she couldn't afford it) but they were still kind of bummed out about it. Even when you logically know that it's just some cells and getting rid of them isn't murder or whatever, it can still be depressing. And hormones are a powerful thing, even so early in pregnancy. Couple all that with external pressure from family, the stigma of getting an abortion and the myths of how women who get abortions will be barren4ever and it is a reasonably upsetting time.
As long as those emotions don't cloud your judgement and prevent you from making the right decision I don't see what's wrong with that.

these women feel unnecessarily guilty because abortion has been stigmatized. like another anon pointed out, half of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, and much of those half are pregnancies ended before women even know it.
>>480505>>480519you're crazy if you think the emotions responsible aren't largely due to the barrage of shaming women and girls are subjected to, from the moment they're born, that abortion bad, baby good, and that women who don't sacrifice themselves for an embryo are evil. there's no powerful concoction responsible here. plenty of women have no idea they're pregnant even when a viable pregnancy is well on its way. there are also plenty of cases of women getting emotional about the prospect of abortion when not even pregnant. this is an emotionally charged issue because women are taught to feel guilty over it. it's just pernicious anti-choice brainwashing that tries to humanize embryos over actual humans (women and girls). it's literally just brainwashing women and girls have been bathed in so they will readily sacrifice themselves against their best interest. i believe women need to understand that they are more important than an embryo that has no clue and will never know, that it's there.

>>480531yes, and again, they often happen without the woman ever knowing she was pregnant, so there's nothing to mourn, despite "muh hormones", and doubly so for women who have infrequent periods and spontaneously miscarry, that never know, which happens fairly frequently. it really can be mostly blamed on patriarchy. plenty of these women would not be sure they are pregnant if not for testing. you're acting like they're 31 weeks along ffs. i guess a case could also be made that our bodies are acting on the belief that we're pregnant while we're on birth control, so why aren't we attaching so deeply to our imagined bc babies because 'muh hormones'? it's nonsense, anon. much of it is purely abortion stigma. women aren't exposed to any other line of thought but to feel extreme shame and guilt over it.

The tricky part is that he's trying to unfuck himself, and he's very intelligent and apolgizes for those topics when he gets caught up in them and since he has no one to talk to he lets it out there.

It might be hard to understand but not everything has to do with society or some internalized shit. It's completely
valid to contemplate the potential future child you decided it was best to let go. Is it good to dwell on too much? Obviously not. But doesn't change the fact that it happens. Nothing to do with hormones even, it's just basic human emotion and experience. Someone in my family had an abortion due to her mental illness and felt pretty bummed about it maybe because.. she could've had the child if she was in a better place. Wow, what a concept. She never got the chance.
I didn't think I'd see this level of delusion about the fact that abortion is not always a walk in the park from other women.

Relationship vent
I watched the film "midsommar" and was struck by how uncanny the dynamic between the main character and her bf was compared to my current relationship. We actually paused the film to have a short argument because it brought up an exact same situation we had (him going abroad and not communicating if it's OK or anything).
I feel like I can't actually tell anyone in my life, and watching the reviews it's just highlighted over and over the toxicity of the relationship. How the bf is low EQ, sees his gf as a burden, offers no empathy or real emotional support, punishes vulnerability and remains uncommunicative and distant. And the gf feels guilty for expressing this stuff and is made to feel bad for HAVING those feelings. And you know, when I pointed out most reviewers thought the bf was an asshole, my bf said he didn't see him do anything wrong and went on to comment that the gf was too needy. I mean, what did you guys think of it? I felt like I had to be on the fence about the bf initially but my god did I relate to Dani.
The whole time up to now I've just thought yeah I just feel too much and get upset over silly things, but I remembered, it's been a long time since I've had a serious relationship before this but if I was upset, even for a dumb reason, I was LISTENED to, my exes never rolled their eyes if I was in tears and given a patronising pat on the arm. They would NEVER walk away when I'm mid sentence talking about what's bothering me. I would have expressed my concerns (eg jealousy), said why (eg they're skinnier) and we got to the bottom of why I was actually upset and was reassured of the facts (eg he loves my bodytype and finds it attractive, it's because I'm the one finding skinny girls more attractive that I'm insecure), or liiike, why I'd get very upset he's not cleaning enough or something. It'd be heard, and worked out. If I expressed I'm upset about now he'd get annoyed. And it's only in retrospect that I realise that's a pretty fucked up reaction. I'd never get annoyed if my bf was upset. Maybe I wouldn't see it the same way or I'd think it's a dumb thing to be upset about, but I'd realise that those are HIS feelings and they're very real. It's heartwrenching to see him cry and I'd want to do whatever's in my power to fix it. And isn't that like a basic expectation in a relationship?
And yet, I'm financially dependent and totally isolated. We made a big leap in commitment having me be dependent and him willing to provide while I job searched, and I wouldn't want to give up so easily. Can these people even be saved or do they just end up with a string of unsuccesful relationships with similarly low EQ women because they can't work problems out? Similarly do women like me who air out every grievance to ensure not one long term problem that builds resentment end up single every time due to nitpicking?
While jobsearching I'm tempted to apply for position in other countries. But I think as soon as I do that I'm committing to ending it all, that it has the expiration date of whenever I'd be accepted elsewhere and would move.
I need a job. I NEED a JOB.

I was working the service desk at my job the other night (retail) and my manager got really pissed at me for no reason. part of my job is to sort all the defectives we get (returns that we can't resell, food that isn't safe to go back on the floor, etc.) and package it all up. at the end of the night the manager scheduled for closing carts it all up and brings it to the backroom and she got annoyed and passive aggressive at me (throwing stuff around, etc.) because there were more defects than she could fit in one cart and she had to use two. ???? I literally have no control over that, I sort and package them and that's that, it's not my fault a lot of people returned things that aren't safe to resell. If she wasn't a dumb bitch she would have used a flatbed for all of it insted of two shopping carts but that's not my problem either.

I feel really shitty today. A few years ago I was in a super unhealthy relationship with a man who has covert feeder fetish, I was doing very bad mentally and just allowed him to feed me fucking whatever. I got super overweight, around 300 lbs and fucking hated my body. A few years on I'm free of that guy, and through healthy eating and working out I'm now down to 171. I know I still have work to do, but overall I'm happy that I've lost that weight while making significant long term changes to my life. I hid away for a long time, and only recently have started to feel I'm thin enough to blend in. So I pushed myself and did a live stream where I was just chatting with strangers who drifted in. This guy comes in, starts unloading onto me how bad his life is, basically along the lines of "why won't women date me?" and I told him he should perhaps work on himself. This resulted in him blocking me, and going around other livestreams commenting about how fat I was. How I was so overweight and disgusting, how dare I tell him he needs to work on himself. The other men in chat and the streamer himself laughed and agreed. I'm not going to lie, it has hurt me. I wasn't happy with my body but I was feeling good about my progress, and now I just feel like… well I'm still fat and disgusting. All that work is for nothing. I'm only slightly less disgusting. I want to hide away forever now.
No. 480689
>>480685Congrats anon, going from 300 pounds to 170 is amazing progress that you should never feel inadequate about.
The neckbeard was just lashing out at you because he was hurt by the truth. You could've been 90 pounds and he still would've called you fat if he thought it could hurt you (which most men know hurts us bc we're constantly made to feel insecure about our bodies).
You're probably feeling like how I did when I went from 230 to 150. It's like you're still considered too 'chubby' to be skinny or average, yet not longer big enough to be considered 'fat.' So it feels like you don't belong anywhere and you've always got both ends of the spectrum passively criticizing you for not falling into a category.
I really, really feel you. But just know that no one else can take away your accomplishment and your health. They're the ones who are being ignorant, not you.

My guilty as hell stepdad is still angry that I don't talk to my narcissist mom. He brought her up again this evening, yet he gets all bothered when I don't have anything warm or feeling to say about that woman. I'm so traumatized that I can't even talk about her without feeling attacked and agitated. He thinks (well I guess everyone in my family thinks) I stopped talking to her cause I "sided" with him when he cheated on my mom and they decided to divorce. Which makes no sense since I'm the one who told my mom about his cheating because I couldn't stand being in the middle of their failing marriage.
Why can no one believe that woman was horrible to me throughout my life and that's why I don't feel a bond or connection with her as an adult?!
He's mad because he wants me to resume a relationship with her due to his shame of having cheated, but the problem is that it has nothing to do with him and how he feels. It's how I feel. It's how that bitch treated me in the aftermath of his cheating fiasco.
I'm the least stressed (barring his bullshit) that I've ever been in my life precisely because she isn't around to torment and verbally harass me. Why would I go back to having that looming, black thundercloud over my life waiting to get zapped by her again?
He uses coded language thinking it'll guilt me.
But she's your mom, you only get one.
Quit holding grudges.
You both need to stop fighting.
I don't feel sadness, I feel annoyance upon hearing these things.
Everyone just excuses, enables, and dismisses her behavior while treating me like a squabbling insolent for not tolerating it anymore. Her verbal abuse is so normalized in my family, and she's whitewashed so much of what she's actually said and done to me behind closed doors, that she gets away with it.
I'm so sick of people making excuses for her bullshit.
If I believe I got rid of a toxic person, then what's it to them?
I challenge ANY of these bastard 'family' of mine (who've always treated me and-up until recently, her-like strangers) to live with the bitch for five years and see if they come out better for it. She's an absolute dictator who likes to spin around and play victim if you squeal as she stabs ya!
My stepdad couldn't stand her ass, that's why he cheated on her.
That's why she's been divorced twice before that. Why she has no friends. What little family we have on our side only pretend to like her because they wanna split her corpse over her money when she croaks. It's easy to have a superficial relationship with her if one only need see her at Christmas and on someone's birthday after all.
Then on top of alllll of that my stepdad tells me his mistress that he cheated on mom with is coming into town for a week's stay in December. I don't have anything against her personally, but she's a 30 year old uggo with a kid who's going after my post-wall, near-60-years-old stepdad. She has no good intentions here, and she's playing his stupid ass like a fiddle for money (which she will unfortunately realize sooner or later) he doesn't actually have.
And he wants me to meet her, HAH!
I was so hopeful for my stepdad. He had been hanging out with some age appropriate neighbors and I met this very nice lady last weekend when he brought her over. I thought they may go out and how comfortable she seemed. Yet he's hanging on to this ridiculous 30 year old who's only a few years older than me………..and why, cause she pretends to be "fun" around him and she makes him feel desired? Christ almighty, it's no wonder my blatant bitch of a mom can manipulate him so bad, he's a fool.

>>480756I’ve been meaning to give that a read, I definitely will at some point. It really isn’t that deep sometimes for people, binging is addictive and so is food so it’s difficult trying to find a solution that isn’t just therapy
>>480766I try to for the most part but I live at home still currently so I don’t get a say in what food is in a lot of the time. I think it’ll be much easier when I move out to eat normally but I don’t want to give myself an excuse for continuing eating like shit, so I’ll just have to figure out how to have more self discipline maybe. It’s just even more annoying when you eat well for a while then fall back down the binge-hole. Maybe I should find more lower calorie snacks and stock up on veg since I prefer it more than fruit and stay tf away from the cereal cupboard

I know it's hard to find some self-respect in this situation given how unvalued he's made you feel. But I think if you kicked him out (no matter how difficult that is) your future self could look back on this and be dignified and proud at how you handled him.

My boyfriend revealed his anger issues to me today basically, he yelled and complained for about ten minutes about how his coffee order got messed up, he drove recklessly while yelling to me about his coffee (passed someone on a double yellow on a fucking city street), walked into a busy street without looking and I had to watch as my boyfriend was inches from getting hit by a car and I burst into tears right as the lady slammed on the breaks cause I thought I was watching my boyfriend get hit by a car, and he turned around and said "I wish she really did hit me". All. Over. His coffee order getting messed up. He "apologized" for his behavior and when I said I was just worried at how angry he got for no reason, he turned his anger on me, asked me if I think he likes to feel so angry he cant control himself, and when I told him maybe he should talk to someone about it, like a therapist or just talk to his mom, he told me that I'm bumming him out cause he's made so much progress over the years. (I've only known him for about 9 months so he knows I'd have no way of knowing that). He let me know that the final thought on the matter is that I'm being unfair by suggesting he needs help because his behavior today had nothing to do with his mental health, he claims he's just in a bad mood every morning. Like thats fucking normal lol, I'm so done with dealing with angry scrotes and coddling grown man temper tantrums. I'm never spending the night at his house again and if he wants to leave me for some teenager who will put up with this behavior, he can do it.

I feel very neglected by my best friend.
I know we’re both adults and each one have different responsibilities and we can’t be as close as we did when we were 13 but I feel like I’m trapped in a toxic friendship.
I would do almost anything for her. I’ve been there when she most needed me and that didn’t change for me. I don’t feel appreciated by her.
When she’s in a good mood, she can talk to me and everything’s fine and dandy for a while but she always has something / someone more important than me to talk / spend time with instead of me.
I know it sounds childish. I tried to talk this with her so many times and she always had the same response, that is all in my head, I’m making up things which aren’t real, that I should just get over it.
It just frustrates me because recently my mental health has been the worst it has been since years and even when I told her about it, apart from the typical “aaw anon, that sucks :(“, she didn’t even made the effort to ask me how I’m doing lately.
What hurt me today was that (as expected), she didn’t answer my texts / calls to meet up with her (we didn’t see each other for three weeks now) and I can still see her texting and meeting up with all those other friends which she always criticises behind their backs all nice and friendly, being the best version of herself and making her seem worried about them.
I almost feel sometimes she’s making me a favour by being my friend and when I think about it I just want to cry because I truly care about her, I always want her to be happy with her life and be there to see it, I guess it’s not the same for her and that’s what destroys me.
It’s easy when people vent here about their relationships because most of the times the answer it’s to dump their partners or to talk with me to make an agreement. In this case I feel trapped because no matter how many times I try to explain myself or what exactly hurt me, she always makes me feel like I’m overthinking everything, exaggerating what I feel and I don’t know…I know it’s part my fault because I should be the one controlling my emotions, not letting anyone interfere with them but as I said, I just want to be as important as she is to me and everyday I’m more convinced that won’t ever happen.

I made a friend from an obscure, mostly-abandoned forum. We have a lot of interests in common, but since he's male, I'm kind of scared he's going to get a crush on me (if he doesn't already) and want something more. He made some comments here and there before I mentioned my boyfriend, and when I did, I fully expected him to just ghost me, but he didn't.
I hope I don't sound like I'm humble-bragging, but I'm honestly not used to having close friends of the opposite sex who don't want to fuck or date me eventually. I hope this is my imagination or paranoia talking. I don't want any part of that "internet girl with lots of orbiters" life. It's too mentally and emotionally taxing.
To block any ulterior motives, I make sure to not make my boyfriend a "taboo" topic in any way around him, but I honestly just wish he was a straight girl, or a gay man. I really want and need close friends besides my boyfriend, and we like so many of the same things (even down to the same shitty soap operas and Cantonese pop music).
Guys always turn so fucking nasty and cold when they know you're not going to be with them. I really hope he isn't like that.

This guy at work obviously has a crush on me and I'm tired of it. I work a factory type job. First time I talked to him my supervisor had me and someone else fix some parts for this guy's department that is beside us. I did the job, said "There ya go" when I brought it over. He for some reason gave me some chips they had over there. Later when I'm at home I see a friend request from him. He looked at the meeting schedule papers with everyone's name on them, found mine, and searched me hours later because there's no way he would have found my profile otherwise. Immediately blocked.
I tried to be civil with him the random times since that he comes over to my area. Just responding to his greetings, fixing things for him, no actual conversations especially because I on purpose ignore him when he's near me and keep working. He shares food with everyone so I thought he was okay enough. Expect he started bringing over rags that had cats or stuff on them and leaving them in my area when I was busy working.Yesterday when I'm clocking out he comes back in from smoking, and waits and holds the door for me. I say thanks. Today, I see him leaving the rest of his candy in my bag, I didn't know what to say and it was early in the morning so I just said "Um thanks??". Then he comes over with someone else and tries me to get to draw a face on this random sock he has. I told him to fuck off basically. He apologizes later and is like, "It wasn't dirty or anything weird its for work moral like a puppet" okay whatever weirdo. End of day, clocking out, he comes back inside and holds the door the whole time I'm punching out and still when I had to punch out again from a machine error, despite people yelling at him to close the door.
This is all super annoying. What makes it worse is that my coworker said "other coworker said he knows two people who have a crush o you. You know who they are?" And "God, I wish your fanclub was back over to offload these parts, call them back over to help us."
Like fucking hell. I wear dirty, holy clothing, I look gross, completely ignore everyone and give short responses and tell guys at work to fuck off, and blocked this guy but men don't take a fucking hint. I want to shave my hair off or start being a complete asshole to everyone not in my department, something for men to leave me alone, stop staring at me, stop trying to talk to me, stop telling me to smile. Maybe I'm being silly but jesus christ take a fucking hint already man. And fuck my coworkers because I know they're egging him on to keep bothering me.

I hate my life. I’m so bored and tired of it. I am always busy doing things I enjoy but I cannot live the way I want and it’s making me sick, depressed, and miserable. I want to die (not literally, but I wish I could just take a break, y’know?)
I’m disabled currently, but will soon be well enough to take care of myself. I live with an abusive (mental/verbal) parent. I have no income. I have no education. My life has been this way since I was 16.
I just want to live on my own, and have a job. I want to have a home I’m responsible for and can clean all by myself. I want a family I can cook for and care for. I want to do adult tasks and make adult decisions. I want to be responsible for myself & for a family. I just want a life without my mother around all the time, making the house I clean dirty & claiming I do nothing for her.
I am so tired I want to cry. I know my life could be fulfilling but I can’t do anything about it until at least next year once I have stable income. Every day that passes I feel more and more like giving up and just rotting in my bed for the rest of my life.

Men can always control themselves, it's the opposite that you have to look out for. At some point, when men say they "lose control", it's actually a choice they actively make to do dangerous, violent things. He's not some special case where he, unlink tons of other men (and women especially) suddenly cannot control his actions

>>480694I mean, why is he staying with you for a couple of weeks? In the sense that are they looking for a place together? You're being too giving and he's fully taking advantage of it and I HATE people like that. I'll try give realistic advice without it turning into my own vengeance fantasy. It seems like the source of your misery and what's keeping you down is interacting with your ex, so maybe try minimise that.
First off, I'd blast him. First to your friends who'll build you up, then to mutual friends, his friends if you can and his parents (under the guise of informing them he's moving/goodbye or some bullshit). Go as far as you're comfortable with. Maybe if you're in the position you could ask to swap rooms with a friend or something, and give the reason why. I'd like to think a lot of people wiould be sympathetic to your situation.
Then I'd try cultivate your life outwith him. Go to meetups, events/nights with single friends. Interact with other men. Have people over for dinner. I'd say don't rebound, it's unhealthy. But try cultivate friendships with decent men. Surround yourself with happy, supportive people. I feel like making that kind of surface level friends is a good way to keep yourself upbeat. Be your own happy, supportive person with a life outside listening in to your shit ex boy's phone calls. That said, I'd advise to dominate the shared spaces. With the disrespect he's showing you it's just a step away from bringing this other woman over. He should be the one hiding away, and he should be jealous watching you cultivate and grow this new life. I did this when warring with dorm mates and if I took over the shared rooms and outnumbered them with happy friendly people, they sayed small and eventually came more my way.
This is all without interacting with him. If you want you can advise that he should move out sooner. Is the flat yours, can you find another roommate? If so, put it up to rent, have people come see the room and give him a deadline to go. If you want to wreck any of his things as a threat to leave/you boil over, stick to sentimental items of low value if he decides to press charges or something.
Lastly, I'd direct more of your rage to the bf. The woman is an idiot, but the bf is malicious. There's something wrong with him obviously, based on his actions, and he's trying to find the answer in other people and hurting others along the way.
Everyone is born deserving of love, and respect. I hope you heal soon.

>>481120Nobody like throwing up. But you'll get used to it eventually, you don't have to throw up every time, some women don't even have a lot of nausea. Try ginger, drink a lot of water. Speak with a doctor maybe, there are some medecine against nausea you can take while pregnant.
It's OK. You'll be OK. It's a scary period,fear is normal. Breathe and try not to think too much ahead.

What is wrong with my mother?
No wonder I have so many issues with women that I’m only now trying to undo. This isn’t even super bad compared to how she was when I was a child, just moreso annoying, she hurt herself (slipped on spilled wine or something) and then pushed me out of the way to get into the bathroom, so I messaged her saying you could have just said excuse me instead of pushing me before, (I was replying anyway to a message she sent an hour ago and I don’t like conflict) and she flipped at me and was like “are you serious? Don’t talk to me”, “I was hurt”, I was like “you could still say sorry, I hit my back on the counter which hurt too”, and she flipped again, saying I was being rude. Imagine being a woman in your 40s refusing to apologise, it’s not my fault she slipped, holy Christ

I am so so SO angry that my ex got the "better deal" after the break up. He got new friends, stable good paying job, okay family that is upper middle class, own car, lives in an awesome city, has time for the gym/hobbies and now a new love interest.
I'm jealous as shit because I can't even find a above minimum wage job where I live, without needing 6 years of experience or a degree and am on top of that a poorfag.
What really pisses me off however is that I can't vent to ANYBODY about any of this because they assume I miss him, while I don't. I'm just jealous of all the crap he pretty much got handed while I barely scrape by, I'm happy for him, he's a good person and deserves a good life but fuck me I want at least some of that shit in my life.

>>481663I am the op of that morning after pill post, just to clarify. Yes, pills do expire. I even had a spare pill I had bought before, I literally went to the pharmacy and claimed my condom broke and got the pill even though none of that happened, I was just paranoid that it could happen and decided to keep a spare pill just in case. Turns out I didn't need it until now and it had already expired almost a year ago. Didn't trust it, had to go to pharmacy for a new one.
Anyway, tomorrow morning I'm finally doing a pregnancy test. I had a normal period before, a bit heavier than usual but I always have pretty heavy periods so I should be fine. Well, we'll see.
I used to be one of those "huuur dur hormones" people but fuck that now that I am in an actual relationship. I hate condoms anyway so I'll give other forms of contraception a try. And by other forms I don't mean "safe days" and shit. This experience has scared me straight on this issue. No babby for me now thanks.

>>481616. I just need to ramble more because there's no one else to listen about my dumb cat problems.
Cat still hasn't used the litterbox at all, not even to pee, so now I'm getting concerned. It hasn't been quite 24 hrs since the last time yet but I know holding their pee can make them really sick. He has been to the room his box is in a about times but has done nothing. If he's gone outside of it I have no idea where; I have a tiny house that's mostly open floor plan with no nooks or crannies or open closets and I haven't smelled anything either. He is acting mostly normal otherwise but he won't eat the wet food with metamucil in it, he only wants the stupid prescription dry food (I gave him a few kibbles to stop him from begging). He's been playing and grooming but I know cats will hide their illness so I guess that doesn't mean anything. I know it's no use to freak out because there's nothing I can do but take him to the vet in the morning (which I plan to unless he suddenly uses his box, which I doubt). I hate the waiting. I keep checking on him and around the house but nothing had changed. I know I'm not going to get any sleep tonight.

I started my period today and I feel terrible. Usually I feel suicidal but don’t have the guts to kill myself so I just tolerate living, ya know, but something about this time is making me want to say fuck it and end it all.
I thought dressing up and doing my makeup would make me feel a little better, but I just looked and felt really fucking ugly. I have the urge to break up with my boyfriend because he deserves better, and to lay on the train tracks that’s not too far from my apartment. Maybe I’m just being dramatic, or maybe I need a lobotomy. Maybe both.

Dating advice is super depressing. I just got done reading a few articles that discourage women from "chasing men." I agree that no woman should invest too much too early for a man in a relationship, as it just seems like a good way to get taken advantage of regardless. Yet it's so sad how being honest, and even doing the most innocuous of actions, are seen as a mark against ourselves.
Basically if women dare answer a text too soon, make the first phone call, and/or are too forward about wanting a relationship, we're perceived suddenly as unfun and of lesser value since apparently those actions come off as desperate. While we shouldn't come off as cold, we always have gotta play a coy game and act like we've got other options even if we don't or don't want them.
I hate this but it makes so much sense. No wonder men chase after women who treat them like shit, they love the "hunt."
All those stories of men who treat women who have done so much for them like shit make so much sense now. Those women "played their hand" and men think that if they can bag them with minimum or no effort, then they can seek greener grass.
This makes me sick to my stomach. I've had men treat me this way in the past. Of course they'd all deny it because they don't want to admit how shitty they are.
No. 482145
>>482138I only ever dated being straightforward in my interest, and got no problems with those men. The only time I had problems with them were when I tried the "cold treatment strategy". If a man is not mature enought to deal with a woman who knows what she wants, is a man who's not worth (my) time.
And I must say, most of men I was interested in appreciated a woman who take control of her own needs.

I already semi-posted about this in the annoying thread but I wanted to vent out some more about the phrase "people deserve to have nice things".
I usually see the phrase show up when people excuse supposed poorfags for buying stuff out of their spending limit and people who steal unnecessary shit.
Listen, I'm a poorfag myself. I hate when I see people beg for money to buy unnecessary shit like the latest video games. Like, I'm sure you'll live fine without that $50 Switch game. Maybe buy a week's worth of groceries instead? That sounds like a way better idea!
Whenever someone tries to call them out, people will flock to their side and go "They deserve to have nice things!!" OK, yes that's true, but there's tons of nice things out there you can buy for half the price. I have tons of shit that cost practically nothing and I'll enjoy it more than something worth $15, $50, and even $500.
I don't get how people think it's so boring and hard to live frugally. I emulate video games all the time and they're still as fun as these newer games, sometimes even better. One of my favorite games is on Super Nintendo and I found out about it 1 year ago. Like, my best $20 investment was a $10 DS Lite, a $6 R4 card, and a $4 32gb microSD card. I've been entertained for months. I own a Switch, my parents got it for me for Christmas, and I probably have like 3 full games, two of them were also from my parents and one game I got for myself as a New Years present. The rest of the stuff on the Switch is game demos. Totally free entertainment. I've had tons of fun playing the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo, it's basically the full game.
Like I honestly don't understand how people can just confidently beg all the time for stupid shit like video games and then beg again because they have a bill they don't have enough for. Like are you really poorfags, or you just don't know how to fucking finance?
