i am so sick of autogynophiles wriggling their way into my DND groups and my DMs being too doormat-y to do anything about it. if i have to deal with one more uwu tragic past catgirl selfinsert i am going to scream.

one person is playing a character who's an older lady (40s) and the catgirl's player is always talking OOC about how that character has "hit the wall" and that she should try playing someone "sexier". it's fucking gross.

I know I am no use to anyone right now, I am in no situation for this, mentally nor physically but I WANT A GIRLFRIEND SO BAD. My ex was so chaotic and one minute was clearly ashamed to be with me, the next she was throwing fits because I wasn't able to come meet her friends. I just wanna be deep and mushy with a nice giiiiiiiirl, pray for me anons.

I had to find out the my favorite uncle has been in prison for over a year now because of sexual battery towards a minor (16/17 yrs old) and will be serving a 15 year sentence. Horrible but is just a long string of horrible secrets that I will never find out from my own family's mouth because they're all ashamed alcoholics with emotional issues.

I've been in therapy for several years and have a wonderful partner and I'm doing so well in school and this shit just keeps popping up. I feel mostly ok but also so distant because I just healed from some sexual trauma/grooming and suicidal regression that happened in 2018 so…… uncovering old wounds + general family bullshit.

I feel so so sad that the best decision for me is to just move on with my life even though my family is going to be devastated that I want to move away from here. But again, they're all so so toxic and damaged. I need to get away!!! I can see the light, farmers, and I need to keep running towards it!!!

My boyfriend said he sees no future with me because of my eating disorder.
I'm having break down after breakdown. I'm trying so hard to get better. I was recovering decently but I've fallen a bit back into disorded eating, I eat two, at least, meals a day and have snacks, I just am bad about voicing how bad my mind gets about it. I explained this to him and he hasn't responded in over 20 minutes, but it sounds like he's talking to someone, I'm too nervous to like, go into his room and talk more since I'm guessing he just wants to be away for now.

Going back to work after long period of sick days, really not looking forward to it. I've been contracted to work under 20 hours, however it keeps getting pushed to 26-30 hours.

I hate it when you're debating online against men and the second it's revealed in any way that you're a woman, their tone automatically takes a jilt that betrays how they think they're intellectually superior to you, patronizingly so. And ironically they think they're better for that pretentious and juvenile behavior.

Well I fucked up. Have had a perfect job this last year in a small company (literally 10 people in the building max at a time). Learned a lot in the industry, making good money, tons of skills to add to a resume, etc.

Fell in love with my coworker after having fantastic communication over that period of time. We spent too much time together outside of working and fooled around a few times recently, plan activities, business ideas and trips as well. Sleepovers, meals, hiking, mundane stuff like going grocery shopping. He's not known to have long term relationships when that's typically my thing if it ever gets to the physical level so it's all my fault. All of this is still out of character for him to do; however, don't want to even think of getting my hopes up.

Sooo I'm currently drunk and crying about it. Even the person I dated for 6 years and was engaged to was never this compatible.

I thought relationships would be easier to figure out with age, but now knowing what works, being in situations like this hurts just as much. Going to work is a struggle because seeing his handsome face and hearing the layered jokes is overwhelming at this point. I cannot handle my demeanor or lie around co-workers anymore because it's hard. I want him and that's that.

I fucking hate my head and my heart since they somehow agree that it's the right thing to do for once since he's honestly a beautiful person underneath all the sarcasm and seriousness. Hope it passes before one gets broken and the other has to recuperate.

Do you feel he's not going to commit to you? He sounds like one of those slick charismatic types, like easy come easy go. Tbh I'd be paranoid that even if he got into a closed relationship with me that he would be liable to fall in love with another coworker as easily. Which is a good argument as to why you shouldn't start or trust people who engage in workplace romance.

Sorry that happened anon, but at least it hasn't destroyed your job. I thought your post was leading up to you being in drama or fired lmao.

No. 571719

>>571713
I honestly feel like he would, but since it's not what he does, I don't want to force it if that makes sense? He's a late bloomer, had self esteem issues to work through before losing his virginity at a later age. Better than what I did by seeking people out due to a lack of self esteem lol. But also because of that, I feel like maybe he doesn't know the value of a relationship which sounds ironic considering everything he wants to do together. I don't want to scare him off. Yet as you also noted, what if somehow another person comes in & he's fucking another coworker? I wouldn't be able to handle it and can't risk any part of my work performance being affected.

Thank you for the bit of insight though! It helps ground the feelings somewhat.

I think I was raped while I was asleep, however I am a virgin. I don't know where else to ask this or say this, but can one of you experienced people answer me this? How long does cum last inside of you, let's say in theory you had sex & fell asleep. Do you feel it or anything? Because I woke up with my shirt lifted up & when I went to the restroom, a bunch of liquid white stuff came running down my legs. This happened to me years ago, but it still haunts me. I just want answers, yet at the same time I don't want to believe I was raped. It's been so long & I still do not know how to react to it. I'm afraid.

I hate that the first date I've ever been on was with a fakeboy that was very immature, had such a bad low self esteem that they only took care of themselves when they were in a relationship, and would blame other people for their short comings. I'm glad that I let my anxiety get the better of me and ruin the relationship to the point that we didn't end up being friends. I'm also glad that I learned more of my self worth afterwards because I now know that if I'm on my knees cleaning the literal mess they made on the first date they're not a worth while partner. Also don't date barely legal teens even if you're only 2 years older, they try too hard to try to impress you that they sound so shallow and vapid.

one of my roommates had bpd, ADD and is also diagnosed anti social. it is such hell living with her she gives me genuine ptsd to how it was living with my junkie abusive also bpd mother. They’re both awful in their own ways. My roommate is bordering on being a NEET but she holds down a super part time retail job but other than that her rich parents basically give her a yearly salary. She is disgusting. She never does the dishes (which are mostly all hersbc who tf leaves dishes out), leaves fast food packages everywhere for me and my other roomie to clean up, leaves her items and clothes every where, in general just a slob. Even worse I have a shared bathroom with her and she leaves her hair everywhere in the tub and let’s the trash overflow with her sanitary products and sometimes doesn’t even flush the toilet. She does all this and then gets hyper defensive when we even gently with uwu gloves on ask her to clean up her shit. She either completely spergs our or just says BUT MUH ADD!! She seriously blames everything on her fucking a.d.d and uses it as an excuse to be a pig because she “forgets” to clean things and gets SOOO overwhelmed at the thought of it.
I feel so fucking stuck because I just resigned a lease for another year because there was no way i could financially move. I want to break my lease so badly but I also can’t afford that. Me and other sane roomie have serious plans of moving across the country because we are so tired of walking on egg shells. I have so much anxiety at the thought of confronting her and telling her that we are straight up leaving (once the lease is up) but i’m so scared of the bpd meltdown coming our way.

Honestly? Leave and move on. Because sometimes with dudes like this, during and after your recovery, he's going to take credit for it (albeit not being there plus critising & doubting during the relationship) while still giving you shit due to possible relapses or any behaviours he sees tilting in that direction. Since it's so iNcOnVeNiEnT. Why date if he feels that way?

Even if not, GET OUT. Fuck a relationship if the support isn't there. As scary as it is, deal with your problems with a team of people prepared to do so. Friends, therapists, family – hell, even girls on lolcow here and there. You're the top priority, so if a hindrance exists? Get rid of it. All of that love spent on w h o e v e r could be invested in yourself & healing.

Oh God what the fuck anons. One of my friends is confessing to me and it feels so weird, I don't see him that way. He actually kinda asked me to reject him already since he couldn't deal with his feelings anymore. I said 'but don't you alreasy have a gf' and he answered 'just say it'.

My cousin died. I didn't know her (we live on different continents), but my dad is devastated and I'm so worried about him. We're around the same age as well, so it's fucked because mid 20's is no age to die…

This year has been so awful for my family. Deaths, near-deaths, my mum likely catching COVID (it was mild, thankfully but triggered my PTSD of when she nearly died from sepsis). Like holy shit, 2020 has just been condensed chaos and tragedy and it's not even over.

This is gonna be so fucking stupid but it's a vent thread, alright. So, I have an online friend, we been talking to each other for a year now. We don't really talk much, just a 'how u doin' once a month but anyways she asked me to take care of her snap streaks (shes 21) for a week because she is unplugging for a week from the internet so I was like alright sure. Anyways, I open her snapchat and I don't know, I just didn't expect her to have so many friends, well actually I did, she was a total stacy, but like, ugh, she has so many guyfriends, you know, male friends, while posting stories about sex and stuff. I don't know. Rubbed me the wrong way. Like every story of hers was sex related. Maybe because I don't have friends, much less guy friends so I don't get it. It just annoyed me.

It's possible that it could have been discharge or even something like a yeast infection, or a freak amount of ovulation perhaps even combined with a little overnight leak. Imo it's unlikely that someone did that to you because you didn't talk about feeling any pain or discomfort, especially as you were a virgin I would expect you to have a noticeable burning vaginal pain, even if you only noticed it when you went to the bathroom. On top of that it's also unlikely that you wouldn't become pregnant. I'm just trying to look at what is the most likely scenario based on the information you've posted but also I just really want to believe that didn't happen to you anon. At the end of the day it's only your opinion about this that matters, and nobody should argue with how you feel about it. I just hope you're ok.

I just bought a backpack online and was trying it on at home. My hiking enthusiast bf helped me with adjustments and told me how weird my hips were.
I kept asking what he meant and he told me that my waist is really tiny and then it gets big.
I'm 170cm with 60kg (5'7", 133lbs), I have a 65cm (25,6") waist with a 99cm (39") hip.
In my world, I'm far from deformed, but apparently I am in his eyes.
In the past he made comments about my hips/thighs being big, my shoulders being broad. Always lowkey but I really don't feel pretty anymore. I don't think the person I'm sleeping with finds me attractive. I told him that and also told him that I never had this feeling before. And still he keeps saying shit like that.

My abusive ex-sugar daddy just tried to withdraw money from my PayPal account. I'm so confused because (a) I haven't talked to him in three years, (b) I'm sure he doesn't need the money, and (c) it was a random amount. I'm wondering if he did it just to initiate contact since I have him blocked on all platforms. But why defraud me to get my attention? If he had sent me money instead of trying to take it from me, I would be more inclined to talk to him. This doesn't make any sense!

hey anons i just need to vent about weird stuff in my childhood.

i have been thinking about my childhood last night. i know as a child that my parents were abusive but i only have one real memory of physical abuse happening to me and a lot more of it happening to my sister. i remember a lot of the emotional abuse pretty well. i’m not sure if this is normal, but, i don’t remember a lot of my elementary school years but one thing i remember is that when i played with toys with one of my friends it would always be about sex. We were like only 6 or 7 so i have no idea how or why that was happening. I also remember that as a child from like 5-13 i had a very active imagination where i would imagine little stories in my head, where a lot of them had to do with rape and disgustingly i enjoyed those thoughts.

I don’t know if this is true or not but i’m so scared that maybe i was sexually abused as a child. i have no memory of it if it did happen, though… is there any way i could find out? i’ve always had a weird relationship with sex but my abusive ex boyfriend also messed up my perception of it as well. I notice that I dissociate at least once a day or once every other day. I’m too scared to go to therapy incase i unearth something i don’t want to hear. Or maybe i’m just overthinking it? I just don’t know how a child in elementary school would know about sex and rape.

So I am staying with my boyfriend at his parents house for the summer and we've been taking great care to clean everything, wear masks, et cetera whenever necessary. They live in a major city, but it's in the twenties on the list of most populous American cities, and the space use isn't really dense even in the downtown area. In any case we are still really careful. Well today my boyfriend invited two of our friends over, and they are having a jam session in the living room while his parents are out. They are still here but they all stopped playing for now, and we are going downtown together soon.

I am getting really pissed off at the carelessness of one of our friends. He said that he couldn't play without socks on so he just took them off without asking, so he's been walking around barefoot and it's making me shrivel up inside. Who knows where his feet have been. He's a pizza deliverer so I know he has to interact with people frequently. What's really been getting to me is that he grabbed one of the spatulas from the kitchen without asking, so that he could use it on his drum kit. I saw my boyfriend look at me for a second as if I should do something about it but I am a fucking guest here too. I know his mother would be fuming if she were here. Also before they started playing, our barefoot friend said that he forgot something in his car so he went outside without his shoes or socks to grab it, then just walked back in thinking nothing of it. I told him that he should have put his shoes on but he laughed it off, saying that humans didn't wear shoes before clothes were invented. Such a stupid cop out. Our friends are sprawling their belongings around everywhere as well, there's a guitar case right next to me on the couch where my boyfriend's dad sometimes falls asleep.

I am just very worried and agitated, and I don't know if I should confront my boyfriend and our friends, or send a text to my boyfriend's mom telling her about what they're doing, and offer to clean their kitchen after we return. Am I overreacting?

No. 572132

>>572131
Yes you're overreacting. Don't tell his parents and clean the place when they leave. They were invited over I don't know why you think his bare feet are the only parts of him that could potentially harbour a virus or bacterium. Keep washing you hands and just clean up after them you're obviously not that worried since you're around them.

I'm having a cystic acne breakout with at least six giant inflamed masses on my face so far.
I don't care, they're here for weeks anyway if past history is proof of anything. So I popped them to relieve some pressure although it's not entirely possible with the way the entire section of tissue is infected. I've been having good skin lately up until now. I wasn't having to wear concealer as usual but now I'll be dotting my face for weeks while the initial infection goes away, and then deal with hyperpigmented patches liable to re-infect for months after.

My period is like clockwork and lasts 3-4 days but it is always insanely heavy. Cramps down my thighs, barfing, changing tampons by the hour during the second day. Birth control didn't help, it's not PCOS. Idk, I'm not really looking for advice I just really fucking hate menstruating.

Epic.
Cool to remember I'll never recover from my Papa Problems. It's even the same with women; a girl literally confessed to me then somehow tracked me down years later and I thought "oh she can't actually like me for x stupid reason, time to distance myself again."

How do people even overcome this? I'm tired of being paranoid and pushing people away. Yet I'm also afraid I'll finally be correct and made a fool.

I think I'm physically really pretty now. It's a combination of growing into my face as well as finally having money to take care of myself and invest in flattering clothing. It's a shame though, that emotionally and socially I'm fucked from feeling so so ugly growing up.

Stupid fuckers have been sending off fireworks since 10pm. I ignored it at first because it wasn’t too loud or disruptive, but now they’re setting off firecrackers or something similar that’s absolutely loud as fuck and it’s 1am now. I called 311 and the woman said I could call 911 about it, but my dad said to just leave them alone and that the cops already came but haven’t done anything about it. Easy for my dad to say to leave them alone, his bedroom window doesn’t face the street!!! It’s so fucking loud!!! How am I supposed to sleep!!!! It makes me jump in my seat every time I hear it!!

My heart hurts. The past few months I haven't been close to my parents despite living together.

Due to the depression I've been feeling, I can't stop assigning reasons why my life is the way it is to them and the way they raised me. I know they won't be here forever, and that I'll look back on these days and hate myself for being so cold to them, but I can't help the pain that I'm feeling.

>any other red flags?

The only other red flag is him not being over his ex and still talking about how beautiful she is. I even looked her up online to just have a face to that "most beautiful woman on earth" (guess what, she's not) phantom. In my mind I always compare her to me and keep thinking about her, which is really fucked up and stupid and not something I want to do. I even have dreams about her, it's something I really do not want in my life. Such a stupid waste of my time. It's not that I'm jealous or don't want him to think of a meaningful relationship of his, it just hurts that I have that feeling that he adores her looks while he thinks I'm (probably below?) average. (Funny that his ex also had self-esteem issues, wonder if he also talked prettiest-woman-alive down?)
Idk. I should probably just break up or grow some self-esteem.
In the end, I think it's a problem with empathy and being very self-centered.

Hahahaha okay, ntayrt but you need to drop this guy immediately. He'll make you feel like shit about yourself and after constant exposure to that, it can take years for your full self-confidence to recover, even after this relationship inevitably ends.

It's 100% intentionally calculated to hurt you. No guy actually says these comments for benign reasons just because he doesn't understand how it feels to hear them. He understands they hurt you and that's why he says them. This isn't some tolerable small negative trait in a partner lol.

Also, not that it matters but lmfao at a straight man trying to say he finds your tiny waist and wider hips unattractive. That's literally one of the main things men notice about women that makes them go crazy. I bet he just knows you're out of his league.

My dumbass had to google why I "look fat" despite being so underweight. I feel retarded but ultimately better. I look like if someone put a layer of greek yogurt between the skin and bones.

One guy shared some info about a celeb being gross and I just responded with well its not shocking, men are gross. and responded with not all men. and then troon comes out of no where and says "thats why im becoming a woman". and I responded saying "well, that doesnt work that way" and then the troon said welp tell that to my "mammary glands and endocrine system".. mind you this person is gaunt and not feminine looking at all. just looks like a malnourished troon. The #notallmen guy told me i was terf-ing up the place. troon keeps showing mircoagressions against me and is literally obsessed with trying to get a response out of me keeps self posting and asking me what i thought. and another weird instance that happened is that i just randomly started talking about virtual chat rooms like imvu and they made a joke about getting raped and told me i should try experiencing virtual rape, I know it doesnt sound like something extreme, but to me that was really disgusting. these men are literally white knighting a man in thigh highs dressed like a 12 year old. im in my early 20s. just the whole room is men attacking me? its just frustrating because its blatent misogyny, and they are telling me im crazy. the rape guy legit called me a shithead, and i kid you not i literally never said anything terrible. i just really hate men anons.

My 'schooling' was my parents buying me like, "disney learn numbers" type books, and then I was allowed internet access REALLY early on (no younger than like, 5, but no older than 9). That's it. My parents just figured I'd look up what I want to learn, because they didn't want things I didn't want to learn forced on me.

Which.. was fine, for a while, but now I'm sitting here almost twenty two FUCKING years old, trying to get through 2nd grade math and it's beyond confusing and, like, I know I'll get it eventually, but it doesn't help I have ADHD too and I'm currently bouncing from doctor to doctor trying to find medicine for it.

I just feel so stupid. I know it's not my fault and like, I'm not stupid? Once I get what I'm being taught, I learn, sometimes it doesn't stick cause ADHD be like that, but I just get so in my head. I wish I could get a brain injection and at least be insta-taught math, it's my weakest point. It doesn't help halfway through the courses, my brain just starts feeling like it's overstuffed.

Don't get down on yourself anon. Anyone would have a hard time learning that stuff, kids just have the benefit of extreme neuroplasticity, teachers, their peers, and literally being sat down and forced to do it. It's not an easy thing to do that all on your own.

Also imo sometimes the hardest thing is learning the absolute basics of something and wrapping your head around the core abstract concepts and once you get past that and start really building on your knowledge it gets easier. Programming is like that. I think maybe math could be like that as well.

Also I feel you on trying to get an ADHD diagnosis/meds. It's fucking hard as an adult and especially as a woman.

Okay so, a couple things here.

First of all, math is just straight up not everybody's thing. It's a big fucking pain in the ass. I don't like it either. It's definitely not just that you didn't learn at an early age, nor that you have ADHD. Those factors certainly don't help matters, but please try and give yourself a break. It's not hard to motivate ourselves to learn things that we're not actually interested in. I'm willing to bet that the reason you picked up reading so easily was that you actually like to read. Considering how impeccable your grammar is, I'm guessing you also like to write.

I don't mean to be presumptuous, but judging by your post, it sounds like you're trying to learn math primarily because you're embarrassed by how behind you are in comparison to others, not because you actually like it.

Do you have any other reason for wanting to learn math, aside from this? Are you planning on pursuing college? Do you need it for a job?

sounds kinda bait-y, but i'll jump

is there any dental work in your mouth rn? or do you have a retainer or something? the swollen lip could be a reaction to that (some people are allergic to the weirdest shit)
or it could be abrasive, the edges on retainers get really jagged over time.

teeth sensitivity can be normal for some people in general, you could have weak enamelum or cavities in between your teeth. consider using a flouride paste once a week afte your regular brushing to strengthen the enamelum and floss!
this is going to sound disgusting, but it works: floss for a week and smell the floss - if it smells bad for days in a row, you probably have a cavity
if you already have dental work done, it could simply be the work that conducts the cold too quickly and too close to your dentine

Tooth infections are no joke anon - listen, sometimes dental colleges will look you over for free/cheap as a way for students to practice. Is that at all possible? I don't know how they're doing with social distancing though…

Some walk-in clinics offer dental care and I've found they're cheaper than doctors sometimes. I assume you don't have insurance, but please know that there are medical places will offer you payment plans if you ask. But you have to ask.

When I was 16 we were poor as fuck with no insurance and I needed a root canal pretty badly. I was able to find some tiny dentist practice an hour from me where I think the front desk girl saw I looked disheveled as fuck with no insurance and I think she quietly reduced my bill by a major amount. I think it's worth calling around and talking to the front desks and seeing if there's anything that can be done. It's better than doing nothing, anyway.

I'm pissed because the psychiatrist gave SSRIs instead of buproprion. This medication gives me patience to deal with my family (if I skip a day I start talking back, and we can't have that can we). But my anxiety is still through the roof, I can't deal with people outside, my concentration is fucked and I'm always always so, so fucking tired. No coffee, naps, suplements or salt can fix this fucking sleepiness that I have since I was fucking 13!
Buproprion wasn't a miracle cure, but I didn't feel so fucking exhausted all the time. I don't have the balls to talk with the therapist because I can't trust her but my mother does. And my family doesn't want me medicated and the SSRIs are their only allowance at the moment.
They have the usual fears: that meds are for weak people, and problems should be solved by strapping bootstraps or wtv. Bitch, I'm 27 and still 3 fucking years of finishing college. The people that started with me are on their 2nd year of work, and I'm still struggling along, passing with the bare minimum. What's the fucking point of dealing with this shit by myself if I'm still a failure? What the fuck do I care if my brain melts from medication in my 60's if my live is shit and has been shit for the last decade?
But SSRIs are fine, because the doctor told so, I they keep me quiet and playful and obedient around my mother. I maybe a wreck in all other areas of my life, but as long as mother is happy everything is perfect. Fuck what I want or how I feel or how my life goes.

I feel spoiled for resenting the mother that raised me all by herself and pays for my education, but holy shit, I'm nothing to her except a retirement fund, a obedient doll to go to her dream job, dress the clothes she likes, do the things she likes, say the things she wants. Every time I say no: I'm a piece of shit, just like my father; I'm going to end up alone, just like my father; I'm a terrible selfish person, that's why I have no friends; she is the only that loves me, and she wants to fix my bad nature, because my badness is all from my genes, I'm only my fathers daughter and I'm just a beast like he was.

I had lots of friends and socialized easily in highschool, but during college no one has really interested and I've made no new friends, and the only time I decided to bother, it's a tranny. It's like lesbian tinder but this time irl

I did not pick up on him being a tranny at all, he has such a fat man body, his only attempts of passing was growing his hair out to above his shoulders, that's literally it. Sometimes he would wear comically small dresses to class, but I thought he was just a gay man who didn't care about gendered clothing

I'm so glad he's changing course so I can ignore him much easier, I'm just praying to make friends in uni, I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't manage to find a girlfriend in that time either.

I was in your position once, being a teenage lesbian with little to no dating/sexual experience and I was super insecure and anxious about it. I really felt like I was going to be fucked for life if I didn't mark off those milestones ASAP in high school (American HS I mean). I can tell you now that it is 100% heterosexual/media conditioning and there is absolutely nothing wrong with having 0 experience going into college, no matter what your sexuality is. I was so desperate about it I got myself into several rushed/weird/forced situations with, frankly, whoever was available, and I don't really look back on those memories fondly. I also wasted so much time being miserable and hyperfocusing on it that I could have used in so many other ways that would have been far more enriching to me as a person.

There's nothing wrong with dating in high school of course, but I wish I could go back and tell my younger self that there's also nothing wrong with not dating. It's probably annoying to hear this, but now at 22 it's so clear to me that I was still a kid when I was in HS and all of that stuff is simply not necessary, your own self development and mental health is vastly more important. Sorry if I'm being presumptuous but if I can pass that advice onto anyone I'll take the chance.

ot but, I feel like it was weirdly harmful in a way to me going through tweenhood and teenhood right as LGBT teenagers were really coming into the cultural and media spotlight. Shows like Glee that featured highschoolers in gay relationships, Tumblr, Lady Gaga, etc. Obviously there were a lot of good things about this level of cultural exposure but it sort of put this pressure on me to date in high school (especially shit like Glee my god seeing the lesbian characters made me feel so bad about myself for not having a gf) and also just to be kind of a more fully formed and confident gay person than I really was. Idk, weird opinion, I wonder if anyone else feels that way.

i keep thinking i'm ready to call out my abusive, predatory (if not downright pedophilic) ex since i've realized some things he'd casually told me about during our "relationship" when i was 17 and he was 24 don't sit right with me. they make me worried i wasn't the only one. he thinks i've forgiven him for the things he did but i still live with it every day while he goes on to have a "normal" life with his apologist gf. when i was 18, i reached out to tell her everything he'd done after learning from coworkers that he'd been with her the entire almost-year he was also fucking around with me. she'd read it and never replied but he was furious. somehow they're still together to this day.

he wants to go to grad school for music, which makes me worried that he'd become a teacher – despite him having told me he shadowed a middle school music teacher in college and when an eighth-grade girl "tried flirting with [him]" he knew that wasn't the career for him. he'd also helped out his enabling best friend/roommate at the time with running youth groups and would tell me about some 16-year-old girl there having a crush on him when we'd just started sleeping together. he stopped going after she "tripped" into his lap once.

i don't know that this would ruin his life even a little bit considering his gf's daddy holds some high position in the company he works for. he'd told me in the past that he's shit at his job and gets written up every now and again, though, so they may want to fire him anyway and just need a push? his place of work and city is public on fb and he uses the same handle everywhere. i'm a little scared that his daddy's money law school gf would try to sue me somehow, but then she'd probably have to let the cat out of the bag to her family.

Before quarantine, I would experience loneliness like once a month and go to the theater solo to treat it. The guy I've been with for a good minute is uncomfortable with being the "only source of emotional comfort" during this time, but wanted to make me happy so tried to set me up on a playdate with his friend a week ago. It went fine, but hanging out with people 1-on-1 is weird for me and I haven't texted her since.

Now he's suggesting I hang out with our very similar friend, but honestly I feel like we vibe so similarly that it would make us both happy to continue not hanging out lolololol.

I guess he wants someone I can vent my feelings to, and I /do/ have friends I can vent to, but I don't feel the need to have more than one person designated for this at a time. Does anyone else feel this way? Is this wrong?

A lot of my friends had their birthdays in lockdown. We played games online like Jackbox with them to celebrate. One friend felt like she couldn't ask to play them for her birthday because she didn't want to nominate someone to host it. So I organised it with our friends and bought all the games so I could host it and we could play. For another friend's birthday we had a group call and games night. We also all wrote messages about our friendship with them and it was made into a presentation for them.

And then my birthday came and we did…. absolutely nothing. No one organised anything for me. Not even an online call. I was just left to celebrate on my own. I don't know why I fucking bother. What's the point of putting effort in the friendship and making everyone else happy when they couldn't care less about me?

It honestly makes me sad. I quit SM because the entitlement and performative policing got so out of control. Flashback: I used to love checking MySpace and being greeted by a new friend request or playing around with HTML to hide my ‘Top 8’ and whatnot lol. FB was okay for some time, but the “Wild West” fun of the Internet was dissipating rapidly. I noticed during Obama’s terms when SJW began to gain footing and I gradually pulled back from something I used to love. I think one of the nails in the coffin was when the Gawker network of sites, Buzzfeed, and so many more adopted the “woke” platform and shoved it down everyone’s throats by silencing/call out culture. Something shifted. Being political is obligatory on SM, but only if your opinions are “correct”. People get in such a frenzy, it’s mad. :(

She starts crying out of the blue but doesn't want to go to therapy. That's why I have to be her emotional support for everything for years now. She talks about how she wants to divorce my dad but can't because he had a stroke, how she wants to have an affair, how she wants to leave the country etc. and it's making my soul crumble into pieces every time. I told her I cannot handle it but she doesn't care. And my dad is choleric and not the same anymore after he got sick. Also he doesn't understand what I talk about with him or makes fun of the things I'm invested in. I have to keep my feelings hidden because when I break down everyone starts crying and I feel like it's my fault for not being strong enough to keep the facade. I just want to get out. Things were so much better last year when I was living with some friends and could get some distance.

I get kind of uncomfortable around my younger cousins. In a weird, embarrassing way, I'm jealous. Not only are 15 year olds 10 times more put together appearance wise now than back when I was 15 due to social media, but they are doing things and accomplishing things that I didn't at that age. I see the opportunities their family gives them, and can't help but feel a little resentment that my own family didn't give that to me, despite our parents literally being siblings and seeing each other regularly. And because they're doing so much better than I was, they'll be doing much better than I am now most likely.

I saw a tiktok recently of girls getting dragged for saying "nigga". Context is the joke was they see a handsome dude, but he says that (it was typed) and so they walk away. It was duetted by someone rolling their eyes and i was so confused to what was wrong until I read the comments asking for their @ and being told they've since deleted it,presumably because they're being hunted down. I mean for one, it was unacceptable the original authors done saying nigga unacceptable, but also it was typed out on screen, and am I being an ignorant racist? Was it always unacceptable to literally type the word out if you're white? If I posted this non anonymously would I be cancelled, even if just referencing the above video?

Now that they're done I can do the things I wanted to do but somehow I'm feeling like shit. I've spent so much time thinking about my uni life and friends and it makes me question if I'll ever be happy with myself or leads me to be envious of others. Not to mention now that I'm out of the exam bubble everything that's been going on is just front and centre in my head.

Also a side note but a couple days ago I got really paranoid that somehow everyone I know will find out I've been using lolcow and see my posts and will hate me for it. Rationally I know all of these feelings are just a sign that I need to make a full effort to go out and meet my friends now (outdoors with distancing of course).

That's absolutely not physically possible. Your body couldn't take it, you'd be sick as hell downing 3000. A human body can take in roughly the double of its calorie requirement until the digestion system stops accepting it, and even then most of it wouldn't be absorbed because it'd be an impossible task for your intestines. You'd be vomiting and having diarrhea due to your body trying to expel all the extra matter it doesn't have the capacity for processing. It's probably possible for you to gain 2 pounds a week at most.

I hate how fucking stupid I was as a young teen. The fact that nudes of me at around age 14-15 are forever on the internet somewhere, as well as photos of my face attached, along with my horrible personality pasted on the internet, is something I have to live with forever. People tell me I was being groomed, but it feels like I was asking for it. It feels like it was my fault for taking the pictures in the first place, and that it was my choice doing so, even though it was 20+ year old men telling me to do it and threatening me if I didn't. I can't stop thinking that it's definitely my fault and my choice to make those mistakes. I'm terrified to even put my face on social media even more, because what if someone recognizes me and spreads pictures again? I deserve this shit.
And yet, other girls who have been through the same thing as me, I can't even fathom thinking it's their fault. It seems so insensitive to feel that way towards other people, but not to myself.

I'm 210 lbs and I just can't understand what the fuck is wrong with me.

Some days I'll get the hang of my eating and I'll lose like 5 lbs in 2 weeks then I just completely lose it. I can't control my eating, like I know I shouldn't eat I know I should just put the fork down but I'm so weak minded that I can't control myself.

I've gained 70 lbs in a year, I'm going to continue to gain if I can't get this under control. Before this weight gain I went from 160 to 140 but that was because I basically starved myself for like 2 months.

I need to have accountability, I try not to fall into that victim mentality.

basically: losing weight requires a lifestyle change. the vast majority of people who starve or diet do it in intervals because they gain the weight back. it happened to me too. i was 220 lbs when i was 15 and maintained ~120 with healthier food staples and an active lifestyle.
i gained 60 lbs back last year because i moved to a different continent and am living with my boyfriend. months of being sedentary and eating shit. the weight started coming off once i changed my lifestyle though.

i think it's important to have a reason to change your lifestyle. try watching what the health or forks over knives. hopefully they will inspire you to make better choices. once you start eating healthier the rest will come easier. research healthy meals etc. don't buy shit you don't wanna binge. it's incredibly hard to eat large amounts of healthy food. eg, if you have 2 huge portions, one of mac and cheese, one of potato chicken and veg, it's going to be easier to eat the mac and cheese.

brain over binge is also a great book and will help you become more aware of that side of your brain that wants to consume more.

lastly, social media is an echo chamber and you can use this to your advantage. so if you surround yourself with people who inspire you to make better choices it should be easier for you. i found getting into a healthy lifestyle easier once i started getting invested in a few fitness youtubers.

good luck anon i hope this helps. you will feel so much better once you eat healthier and have a reason for it. my apologies if this sounds like a bunch of shit, my mental broke after my last reply got deleted kek

I found out the name of one of my paternal grandparent's today, only because my narcissist mom who I don't speak with sent it to me in the mail with a note "Thought you might want this. If not throw it out." I'd guess the picture is from the 1920s, she's a little girl in it.

Never knew my paternal grandparents, they died before I was born I think. No one ever told me anything about them, not even bio dad who I stopped seeing at 13. No one ever talked to me about family history in general, so I learned not to care. I don't really get why she sent this to me other than to be passive aggressive near father's day. I don't want the picture as I knew nothing about this woman, but something about throwing out the picture of a little girl got me feeling a certain way to not want to do it.

Sometimes I wonder if my brother abused me as a child and I just have very little recollection beyond a couple of physical fights, screaming, whatever. He's apologized to me and has hypothesized to my mom multiple times that he might have been the cause of my issues. He's got his own fair share of issues. We assume bipolar but he's never been formally diagnosed, yet his dad has it, and they're similar in temperament.
I was just reminded of it when talking to my mom about how my dad stopped talking to me when I was 8. Turns out she never sent the letter I had written to him because it detailed my brother being mean to me and she was afraid my dad would want to take me.

worried about my younger brother, he really wants to have a career as a musician and he barely works on his music and has no creative vision despite being pretty skilled at production, at least imo. I got him a job at my workplace that pays a lot for an entry level job and he's constantly doing dumb shit, making dumb mistakes, calling out for stupid reasons, etc., and I know it's because he's banking everything on this fantasy career and doesn't give a shit about any other opportunities or whatever bridges he might burn. I want to tell him that he lacks money, status, connections, looks, and charisma, all which put him at a massive disadvantage despite the years he's put into learning his craft, but I don't want him to get salty. Idk I just think learning to prioritize something aside from his immediate wants and desires might be good for him. At the same time hes wanted this since he was 12, I remember him as a kid sperging about random music he discovered, pirating FL studio for him, etc. I want him to succeed I just don't think he has what it takes and I feel like the sooner he realizes that, the better.

I was naive and had a conversation with him. He told me that he was a physio and would give me free sessions. He asked me on multiple occasions to go for breakfast with him (at 4am), come over to his house for some bbq (again, at 4am), and give me rides home. I never did but I can't comprehend what was going through his mind. I can't imagine being him and thinking that was okay. He never sexually abused me but that's most likely where that was headed.

i hate my mom's boyfriend. this racist MAGA piece of shit just came into my mom's life, in the year of 2019, and she's now acting like a teenage girl in love. he fucking disregard george floyd's death, with some incomprehensible excuse, and is now backtracking his words when mom's disagrees with his views by saying the "cops are paired up in twos and if one of them does something wrong, the other reprimand them." He's also a cop, well former cause he retired like in the early months of last year.

And now this asshole is going live with us, and when? idk. i feel like the pandemic is a blessing in disguise cause he planned to be here in may. and we don't live close. it takes 14 hours by plane to get to our place since we live in a different country. and mom admired his impulsive decision to sell his house (which he is renovating at the moment), had already sold most of his things and ditch his pets (which he supposed to love with all his heart) to his daughter so he can permanently attached himself to my mom on the hips.

i don't even know what's he gonna do once he lives here. my mom planned on them to live in an apartment but that's redundant (for reasons i cannot speak atm cause this is another issue, mostly about my mom than him)

he's currently going to stay at his daughter's apartment until… idk. when the pandemic is over? it might take years and while i don't follow much american politics, the country is in deep shet with their growing cases and people acting stupid as if wearing a mask is detrimental to their rights.

and also, while he does care for the pandemic it doesn't mean he acts upon what he says. he still goes to casinos, parties and fishing with his friends and family with a reason that his state already lightened the lockdown. ALSO, if he does come here, he doesn't want to be quarantined for 14 days once he enters the country(which is a standard if you came from somewhere else). it's a good thing that airlines are closed for an indefinite amount of time.

he also hates children and have banned his cousin's kids to enter his home because one of them simply touched the screen of his tv (the moment the kid touched the tv, he forced the kid out of his home idk where maybe the backyard or the front lawn). he also kicks his dog on the chin or jaw as a way discipline them whenever the dog tries to stand up or jump and placed their front paws on his body. the dog was a chihuahua.

Long story short, we're moving out August 1st because our building's landlord became a criminal and the building was rented out for free to mostly criminals/her friends. This includes a tranny missing most of his teeth and a teenage mother who abuses her child and dog (multiple branches of authorities are involved). The breaking point was the tranny talking loudly to a client about their first sexual experiences with dogs at 3:40am on a Sunday night at 10/10 volume. It's not worth even talking about irl because people would think I was schizophrenic or lying. My boyfriend ended up lining up an apartment at the same rent in the same area but in a 130-year old mansion at double the square footage, built-in AC and new-yet-rustic everything. The only problem is surviving from now until then without sustaining a criminal conviction for a hatecrime against him.
I wish this was bait, in case anyone thinks as such. I didn't think this sort of shit happened in my area, I thought it was a total online-only problem so it never irked me or made me ragequit online before but this is absurd and bizarre.

Lol I just accidentally bleached my kanken bag, had it for several years.

It's honestly my favorite possession, it was the first time I made the conscious decision to buy something more expensive for the sake of durability (and it was cute) instead of those cheap, overpadded rucksacks that fall apart within a year, breaking the cycle trained into me by my parents.

In my mind it was the first step of getting out of that poor mindset, so it was a significant purchase and even though it looked worn after a few years I loved it. I tried to take extra care by using stain remover lightly today and now there are whiter patches around it, and not in a cute way. It feels rough and horrible on those areas and I feel so stupid.

Not sure why you fell for the tumeric meme since it's generally used as a colorant and dye. As for permanent, not on skin. Skin layers shed so it won't be permanent. Just don't overwash because then your skin won't be so raw.

I’ve started a new antidepressant medication and it’s making me miserable. I‘m absolutely exhausted and spend all my spare time laying on the couch or floor waiting until it’s time to go back to sleep, have no appetite and feel physically sick when I force myself to eat, and have zero interest in any of the things I used to enjoy. The day I shifted the time I take the pills from morning to evening and so went more than 24 hours without them was the best I’ve felt since starting this medication. When I bring this up to anyone, including my psychiatrist, they just tell me that it’s normal for medication to have side effects and I should try to live with it and definitely definitely not stop taking them without permission. But it’s not like I’m on livesaving chemotherapy or anything like that. What’s the point of antidepressants that make you feel worse?

They have an adjustment period where it makes you feel like shit before your body gets used to it and the side effects chill out.

When I was 17, a friend during our high school picnic randomly came up from behind, put his hands on my hips, and then kind of stood there with his chest on my back, his arms around me like we were a couple. He had never given me any indication that he liked me. Being a kissless virgin, I was too confused to do anything so I just froze.

He FB messaged me a love confession/poem like a week later. I replied with a one-page angry essay about how he was an idiot for his feelings.

For years afterward, I felt guilty but was too much of a sperglord to reach out and apologize. It wasn't until I talked about this with my partner a few days ago that I realized that what he did was insanely weird and violating.

Cool, cool. I got really upset last night and straight up ugly cried louder than I ever had without realizing the window was open. I also screamed at my boyfriend to get away from me when in reality he was only trying to comfort me. Someone called the cops and they put my bf in cuffs immediately because he was "big and threatening" and kept trying to insist something bad was happening while I am still in the middle of crying even more now trying to tell them it's all my fault and father's day just has me fucked me up. It ended well despite me being so upset while trying to let them know the situation. I feel so stupid and embarrassed and mainly really bad for my boyfriend.

Everyone is going to think this is a fake post, but I'm absolutely devastated to the point of unironically killing myself and I need to let it out.

I'm sleeping with a married father 30 years my senior. I'm 26. We've been secretly "dating" for 2.5 years. He's successful– a scientist and professor– and his brilliance is something I adore. He has been absolutely nothing but sweet to me, never making me feel like a sex object. In fact, he was the one who pushed it to an emotional level in the first place. He calls me, makes a real effort to be a good "boyfriend," and never dismisses my problems. He never gave me empty platitudes to make me feel better.

Lately I've been feeling so hopeless. I naively thought he would leave his wife when we first got together. It all kind of came to a head when I called him a few hours ago, asking to talk about it. I told him everything: how I thought he would leave his wife, how I wanted to be with him. He was upset, but he gave me an honest answer. He said his children are pretty young, and he is worried about not being able to see them; he's worried his mother will never talk to him again given her relationship with his wife; he's worried about his job, because he doesn't know how the optics of that would work. He said that every aspect of his life would be impacted by leaving his wife of 15 years. He said that if he didn't have kids, it would be less of a problem– that he isn't happy in his marriage. He told me he was sorry for leading me on and he should have been clear from the beginning.

I asked him, "Why did you tell me that you loved me, then? Why couldn't we just have sex, so I wouldn't get attached?"

He said, "Because I love you. I know I led you on. I'm so sorry, anon. I do love you. I wish things were different." I just hung up because I almost passed out.

I know I'm a piece of shit. I know I'm retarded. But I am so head over heels in love with this man, and no one has ever made me feel so wanted and beautiful and smart before. Deep down, I knew this was going to happen, but I feel like I can't breathe.

What do I do? Kill myself? Ghost him? Tell him I'm leaving him? Stay with him? I seriously want to die. I need a hug. I hate that I feel like I've ruined my life by doing this.

He wants his cake and wants to eat it too. He wouldn't have said all that shit about feeling bad and how it would be easier if he didn't have kids if you hadn't said anything. I know it doesn't feel like he's using you but he is.
Easier said than done, but you should move on. If he hasn't left his wife and children by now He never will and even if he did, trust me you do not want to be with someone like that.

Responding not to argue but just to keep my mind occupied and maybe give some more insight.

Yeah, I am in therapy. I don't have a BPD diagnosis– just anxiety. I have been for about four years now. I don't think he's disgusting but understand that point of view. I'm very attracted to him; I really don't have daddy issues, and I'm surprisingly not insecure. I'm pretty attractive, I think, and dated a lot of men before him. No married men, but I do recognize how retarded I am.

Your posts upset me but I know you're right. Minus the BPD anon, I guess.

Don't beat yourself up too much and try to learn from this. I know it probably hurts like fuck but look at it this way, you are so young and have your whole life ahead of you, more friends to meet and places to go and he will finally be forced to deal with his own life problems. Perhaps he won't and will continue to try and escape in other ways, but the point is that at least YOU know it's wrong. You can still grow and change. You are probably idealizing this relationship more than what it really is. You say he's intelligent and kind but intelligent and kind men don't fuck women young enough to be their daughters and string them along telling them they 'love' them.
I fell in love with someone else while in a relationship and pretty much the moment I was interested, I broke up with the other person to be with the new person. It was a 3 year relationship but I did the right thing. My ex partner was mad and defaced a lot of my property, (we lived together) and all of this was even before he knew I was interested in someone else. He was simply pissed off I ended the relationship. I KNEW he would go psycho but I still bit the bullet.
I was 23. This man you speak of is in his later years and he's such a coward, he can't even end things to be with you. That's not love.

You honestly sound really level-headed about this whole thing and your feelings seem justified to me. I don't know why so many anons in this thread are attacking you, but my guess is jealously tbh. Hopefully your therapist is able to give you some more constructive feedback and help you heal from this.

IMO, this guy definitely preyed on you and the power dynamic in your relationship was grossly skewed from the get-go. I wouldn't be surprised if he were emotionally manipulating you from the beginning.

I don't think you owe him an explanation, tbh, unless you sincerely believe that would help YOU in anyway, his feelings aside.

Over 30 cow here to tell you 26 is still young these days. You could have another 2 serious relationships before you officially became sad cat lady status. I know someone doing this at 31 and man, it's not a good look. Honestly, the reason these situations are so sad is because the feelings are real, but one of you has already lived their adult life. You have not. This shouldn't be your future, and there's really no reason it should be. This guy, maybe he's OK and lonely or whatever, but sucking the prime years out of someone in their 20s when they have the energy to rebound from this type of shit and other shit is very dishonorable, in my opinion.

>>573757
It's not jealousy, it's tough love. If easy love worked, she wouldn't still be pursing this, and no, I don't think a 56 year in a consensual relationship with a 26 year old is a gross power-dynamic.

Girls give men waaaay to much credit in the manipulation department. They don't really think about why they do anything 90% of the time. This is probably some dopey lonely guy who got a boner when this open and willing mid-20s chick gave him a "break". But, men are weak-willed usually, so one trist turns into a side relationship. Men are lazy. They let the girl dump themselves. It usually takes a situation like this, where the woman is incredibly upset and the guy is like "well, this is what is to me, so sorry you feel bad"

OP, you need to just call it off and be done with it entirely. No dipping back, no tipping off the wife, just let him go. I don't know you did it. I think most girls do it because they feel like they've cheated their way into feeling secure and free without having to take risk. There's no risk in being the side-chick if the guy can hide it well enough. You need to accept that to receive true love, you need to also give it. Don't look for shortcuts. Do the work. Good luck.

I was in a similar relationship in my early 20s (I was a complete dumbass), and what he's telling you is as old as time. "I love you, but she'll take my kids/she'll kill herself/I'll lose my job/I can't financially go through a divorce/whatever else" is just an excuse. No one who loves you will leave you on the back burner while being in another relationship, and certainly not for almost 3 years.

It does feel bad, but don't be someone's second option. Have clarity and confidence that someone who won't make you a priority isn't worth obsessing over.

We’ve been to job events together and when I approached recruiters from biomedical companies they would blatantly ignore me and try to recruit him even after he said he already has a job he’s happy with. He’s had job offers out of the blue from people he met at random social events. For him, unemployment would be a choice. But for me it isn’t.

My country is preparing to tighten the control for people who get referred to a trans clinic to receive treatment (HRT and surgeries) meaning they'll have to go through a more extensive evaluation to see if they have underlying mental problems as the primary cause of their gender dysphoria (sexual trauma, depression, psychosis, personality disorders autism etc.) or that they're not straight out lying to get body-altering surgeries like a lot of "nonbinaries" do. This was because such a sizable amount of patients identifying as nonbinary/genderless reported disappointment in their treatment, especially with surgeries and HRT causing them pain/other complications and having unappealing results. As for kids aged 12 to 18, studies showed that psychological intervention and therapy helped them much more efficiently than putting them on blockers which didn't help with their gender dysphoria at all.

The trans activists are of course going full retard protesting against it but the kicker was that I saw some real hot takes from them saying that people should stop waving the pride flag and focus on gay rights and start talking about trans rights instead. On top of all that they're arranging a huge protest today even despite the pandemic going on right now and social isolation being still in effect. I literally have no sympathy for these idiots anymore.

I hate all you academic Stacy anons. (No, I mean, I don’t hate you but you make me so jealous.)

Reading all your posts makes me want to cry. I‘ve wasted my late teens and early 20s due to crazy parents, mental illness and drug abuse. Kind of a Luna Slater-esque situation. I’ve been clean for a few years but now I‘m scarred, tattooed and kind of fat and currently in school to get my high school diploma (I’m an eurofag but that’s basically what it is). I wish I could go back in time or at least to believe in reincarnation so I could have just a speck of hope that I’ll end up in a stable home and become a beautiful, stable med student Stacy who reads Proust and goes hiking with her friends every week in my next life.

Of course, I’m doing the best that I can with what I have in this life and I’m trying not to hate myself but my best will never be like yours and I’ll probably always be disappointed in myself.

I know that there’s people who have it way worse but I just needed to feel sorry for myself for a second.

Sorry this is long.

Growing up, I was a really ugly kid. I had a best friend who was really cute and old people would fawn over her wherever we went, and I was just the odd looking goblin child everyone kind of pretended not to see. Old ladies would tell me I look grumpy and never smile and my dad would always say "happy girls are the prettiest girls" and that's why nobody calls me cute, but how can I smile when everyone treats me like shit in comparison to my friend?

I was never jealous of her, but it hurt me that people would always be so much nicer to her. Her parents were still together, she always had all the Disney VHS tapes and Barbies/Bratz dolls she wanted while my only Barbie I got for my 6th birthday (first birthday I celebrated without my parents) got stolen by an older girl at the playground, her mom always bought her lunch and my grandma told me to shut up when I asked for lunch money.
Whenever we played castle she was always the princess and I was the prince because she was the girly one and I was the resident doormat who just wanted to make her happy.

When I was a preteen I started dressing in baggy clothes because I was ashamed of my body and kids already picked on me for being quiet and weird/liking anime so I just wanted to disappear. Girls would walk up to me and ask "umm excuse me… my friend wants to know, are you a boy or a girl?" and burst into laughter because my grandma cut my hair short so she doesn't have to style it. I don't remember being called pretty even once by anybody.

Things are different now, I think I look cute. I have a boyfriend who says I'm gorgeous, I recently posted a photo anonymously to be rated and everyone said I was very beautiful but "I need to smile more". I'm more confident and care less about other people's opinions.

But I never get catcalled or hit on, people don't want to talk to me, female friends never compliment me when I post a selfie on social media even though I do that for them. Why does this happen? Am I really so horrible-looking still? I don't get it and it's driving me nuts.

You might have a resting bitch face, which would explain why people are still saying that "you need to smile more" shit anonymously and yet you're not unattractive. It means you're intimidating, maybe you look like a mean girl trope. A permanent smile might help, but it's unfair how you have to work twice as hard at it and constantly keep aware.

There's a difference between ugly versus looking unapproachable, and you likely fit the bill for the latter. Unless you actively smile and force friendliness, I'm afraid that's the lot that our standoffish looks have slated us for. I'm sorry anon, but maybe it helps to know that you're not alone. Bubbly, perky, beautiful people always get the lion's share.

>But I never get catcalled or hit on, people don't want to talk to me,

That's one side. That means you look intimidating. I rarely get cat called because when I'm out alone I walk with purpose and don't put up with any shit.

>female friends never compliment me when I post a selfie on social media even though I do that for them

Most of my girlfriends don't run around saying I'm beautiful unprovoked but they at least give me an emoji heart eyes on the off-chance I post a selfie

It sounds like you carry yourself very stand-offish, which makes strangers avoid you (too much work to talk to) or your friends uncertain if you even want that kind of attention, especially if you're bad at accepting compliments. I make sure if I'm fishing for compliments I'm smiling or look playful instead of psuedo-insta model or I poke fun at myself for being serious.

I think this is classic you are attractive but everyone feels nervous telling you. I was an ugly ducking so I carried a lot of leftover "no one says I'm beautiful so anyone who does must be just saying it" attitude, and the year I started believing I wasn't a total butterface and acted like a compliment wasn't a farse, I got complimented a lot more.

This might be rambly and a bit long, but I just need to write about it and kind of make some sense of it.
Finally, I feel like I started to open up and develop feelings for someone. I'm full 'tism so it's been hard to actually find someone that I feel connected to and that I feel safe to be vulnerable with to the point where I start feeling something for them.
I actually searched on Google how it feels to be in love but it didn't help me much, and after talking about it with my mum I came to the conclusion that if I'm not actually in love then I must be getting close to it.
While it was really nice to know that I am capable of loving someone, and to give a name to the comfy feeling that I've been having, it also brought up some insecurities. We try our best to understand each other, but sometimes I have a hard time understanding him, even though he tries his best to be as clear as possible and never really minds elaborating on what my autism misses. I don't think I could know if he feels something for me unless he told me, and our friends in common said he treats me different than he does anyone else (he usually has an edgelord humour, even though he means well, and he is normally very short and direct, but not with me) but that might just be because I'm socially retarded, not because he sees me differently in the way I see him.
I dunno, I don't wanna think about failure before I even begin but my mind just keeps jumping to mean thoughts regardless of how positive I try to be.
I don't even know how to bring it up to him because I'm afraid he will think I'm just a stupid aspie doing cringy things.

Ugly girls get raped too. Being cat-called isn't an award only for the hottest, even ugly chicks get called and stalked around stores. And on the flip side, I know a ton of uggos who get called beautiful all the fucking time, because they look for the attention.

If you look and act like you want attention, you will get it. If you don't you wont. Has very little to do if you're a 2/10 or a 10/10, it's just the 10/10 are usually way more comfortable with attention and are accustomed to getting it.

Apparently my dad is pissed at my mom because her absentee ballot didn't come in, but it did for me and my dad. I registered her to vote online by the deadline, so I don't know what's up. Between all of us, there's ALWAYS been issues with my mom voting. First year they got their citizenship, they both registered to vote and did absentee ballots (out of country for family visit). Second year, my mom was apparently not registered to vote anymore? We got to the polls and they told her she wasn't registered. Third year, when I go to check online about her voter status, she was registered for the opposing party (no idea how this happened). This year, she had to go to the DMV for a new ID and registered to vote on the same form… aaaaaaaand somehow she was the only one who didn't get an absentee ballot request mail even though my dad and I got it (hence why I registered her online)? My dad is in such a fucking huff because EVERY VOTE COUNTS like no duh, but it's not mom's fault that for whatever reason the system is always fucking up her voter registration!!!

Man, I just spent 23 minutes writing a post to delete it. Don't want nothing to come of it I guess.

I wish my parents weren't so dysfunctional, because I think it really hindered my development. They had no friends, denied me seeing friends outside of school and made me feel bad for being introverted. One is super anxious and the other has anger control issues, and both have shown up in me at different times. Mom has put up with behavior from dad that is objectively unacceptable, and now in the back of my mind it has me wondering how much I'll put up with. I've already put up with too much, in the way I'm taken aback with how much of a doormat I was once I'm out of the relationship.

But like, forget the romantic shit, I can do without that. It's the basic basic skills. How to make and keep friends, how to actually get on with people, how to fit in. I also judge myself for being working class and I think my parents instilled that. I feel like a dumb troll when talking to academics. I've pursued my interests (philosophy groups, film and feminist clubs) and I end up keeping my mouth shut because I speak in such a rudimentary way and I don't know what they're talking about half the time. The fuck is calvinism? I also think I swear too much.

I like to think I'm emotionally intelligent, but I can't describe why I mostly feel hurt when I see adults having an actual social life, and when I see a group of women, probably none having come from any less than a middle class background, having intelligent discourse that I'd love to be a part of.

But nah, I'm just this bitter, anxious, needy, angry, covetous, greasy, frumpy fucking gremlin who feels like she'll never have healthy adult friendships or romantic relationships where she…fucking…invites people over to her place with confidence to have a glass of wine and a good laugh or a deep chat.

It's honestly such a combination of intentional disenfranchisement by republicans, poor user design, outdated technology, and miles of red tape which culminates in people who do not have the time or ability to straighten things like these out not being able to vote.

It's really hard to muster up the courage to invite someone over, even harder as an adult bc of schedules. I have this one friend who invited everyone she knew to dance night last halloween and it was great and I thought, "wow, she's so confident and everything I want to be," but we've only hung out once since cause we were both too spergy to invite the other. Turns out she's shy as fuck and was so relieved when I reached out. People are happier than you think when you initiate contact. As for fitting in, you don't have to flex your knowledge, what about having an obscure movie night? Going to a protest?

There’s this book I read during a really traumatic period in my life and since my mind has kind of erased everything that happened during that time I forgot the entire book. I want to read it again but just looking at it in my book shelf makes me stomach turn and brings up a lot of anxiety and negative feelings. This book means a lot to me cause it’s one my grandmother showed me when I was little and we watched the movie adaptation of it together a lot, and it makes me so frustrated that I can’t even look at the cover without wanting to throw up from anxiety. I guess I can always watch the movie (which still makes me cry but for different reasons) but the book is very very different from it. This is so stupid but I just want to be able to read a fucking book without feeling like i’m gonna choke.

I still can't figure out if my ex abused me or not. I felt absolutely horrible in the relationship and like I never had any control. He never hit me or sexually abused me and almost never directly said anything mean to me. He was extremely nice to me in the beginning and told me everything I wanted to hear, convinced me to move in with him, and then basically changed his entire demeanor and started ignoring me, being super cold and insensitive, etc. He acted like I wasn't even his girlfriend at all. He never wanted to go on dates, have sex or even spend much time together when we were at home together. This behavior confused me so much because at the same time, he'd tell me things like, if I ever moved out and tried to live on my own, he wouldn't want to be with me anymore. I'd get so frustrated and angry because I didn't feel like he liked me at all, but if I tried to talk to him about it, he'd just tell me there wasn't anything wrong and that I was blowing things out of proportion. Every single time, I'd end up apologizing and feeling like I was the one in the wrong.

He and his friends were also super misogynistic. They were all into 4chan and red pill ideology and hearing them talk about that shit was super gross. If I ever asked my ex to outright tell me if he truly supported this stuff or they were just joking, he wouldn't give me a straight answer.

He also doesn't treat other people poorly, which made it even harder to figure out whether he was actually abusing me, or if I was just overreacting due to past abuse by my family members.

Possibly, but a lot of MCAT takers will also take the GRE since medical schools have such low acceptance rates. Last year there were nearly 22k people admitted into medical school. Of that number, around 12k were biology majors. Meanwhile, around 75k GRE test takers majored in a biological science.

>>574342
The GRE is a standardized test for prospective graduate students and a higher score is better. The verbal and quantitative parts of the exam are graded on a scale of 130-170 with a mean typically around 150. There's also a writing portion graded on scale of 1-6 with a mean of around 3.5. Most graduate programs look at a student holistically and a bad GRE score won't be an immediate disqualifier.

Am I wrong for being genuinely upset she talked to my abuser and confronted him about MY rape?? also, she showed me the messages and he said stuff about being able to prove with court documents that he didnt do anything.

I don’t know if I have some kind of personality disorder or something but I honestly don’t think I can ever be in a relationship because people do not understand my need for alone time and either take it personally or think I’m exaggerating. The idea of living with someone seems impossible to me, like in an ideal world I would like to have separate but neighbouring houses or more realistically at least separate bedrooms but I feel like that’s just going to be so off putting and weird to anyone. It’s not even that I struggle with intimacy but it’s just that I need space and time alone or it makes me feel genuinely suicidal and completely drained/unable to function.

I want to be able to enjoy social media so badly. I hate telling people that I don’t have it, I think it comes off very weird in this day and age and that sometimes people think I’m lying about it. I haven’t used social media since I was 13ish and every 2-4 years or something I force myself to try to start again but it just makes me feel so weird and performative. It makes me feel kind of like I’m never fully alone because people have such easy/instant access to you and I feel over exposed, especially when people interact with me it just makes me feel so anxious. I have zero moral or like ‘social media is ruining society’ type thing against it, there are some aspects of it I want to engage in and feel like I’m missing out on, but the negatives always just end up heavily outweighing the benefits. I think a lot of how I feel is probably extremely irrational and some kind of anxiety thing on my end but idk how to move on from it, it just feels extremely unnatural to me.

Many women marginalised in some other way have had this kind of experience, in fact women can be more dangerous in these scenarios because of the presumption of innocence certain women have, they aren't fully held accountable.

I never want kids as I struggle with bouts of despression that are severe at times and I can't predict when they'll hit. Abortion was illegal in my country and every hormonal BC that I tried basically cancelled out my antidepressants. I found a method but that fear of having nothing else to fall back on worried me.

Right around the time I decided I was done with men (too traumatised from things that had happened in my last relationship including forced sex) abortion was suddenly legalised here. I'm kinda pissed at the timing of it all, also just pissed that I ever had sex.

>I find it difficult to believe they do so for any reason other than trying to "fit in" to a patriarchal society
Not true. There are are ways to shit on other women that have nothing to do with gender, and they can have reasons other than wanting to "fit in" - they simply think it's right. You can criticize men without putting women on a pedestal, people are like that.

It's workable if you have an understanding partner. My husband calls it "recharge time" because socialising always tires me out, sometimes to the point that I'm exhausted afterwards. I have the house to myself while he's at work and I have a reading room that I can go into if I need to be alone while other people are visiting. There's been times where I've snapped and locked myself in the car. This is down to his family not knowing when I need to be left alone and not because of something he's done.

I'm so salty right now and I know I look pathetic venting about this but here is the thing:

My 24yr neet hoarder brother is probably moving out really soon. The thing about this is the fact that I also still live at home at the age of 27, despise having a job. Getting my own place where I live is a pain in the ass and I'm apartment hunting for over a year now but nothing worked out. They either choose somebody else over me, the canceled everything last minute, people do not respond to messages etc etc. After all this time I'm just frustrated and truly depressed about the fact that I still live with my mom (I do pay rent etc and all that stuff btw).
So now we have my brother, who as I already mentioned a neet . He barely finished school and he had like four or five failed apprenticeships because he is unable to hold a damn job. He even got fired as a ancillary worker because he couldn't even do that. Me on the other hand finished university and have now a indefinite employment agreement. My mum let me stay at her place after finishing my education because I payed everything by myself (worked while studying) and payed all my debts off.
At some point my mum told me that it is about time to move out despise knowing how hard it is to get a place here. She always tells me that I have to work more in order to move out. My brother on the other side will get unemployment benefit, that will cover all his costs and will even buy is furniture. And I'm sitting here like ???? I save money in order to have enough when I move out because everything costs and he will get everything for free? Sure there are cheap places but I do not want to live in a damn ghetto with heroin junkies in front of my door.

I'm so mad and frustrated and the fact that he rubs it under my nose that he is "more successful" than me makes me really angry fuuuuck

This is dumb but I'm a skelly and my also skelly ex boyfriend just started dating a fat girl, not just chubby but proper fat. Makes me feel crazy and second guess everything and whether he was actually attracted to me. It's so frustrating seeing how in love they look whereas when we were together we were more like just best friends.

Maybe I'm an asshole but I just can't see how someone could be attracted to someone so fat if they don't have a fetish. So it makes me wonder if he did have one all this time and wtf he was doing with me.

I'm so fucking sick of having stupid fucking CSA trauma.

I've had it my whole life. Five year olds shouldn't be masturbating to the thought of being abused, fantasizing about being beaten and otherwise treated like harsh. Five year olds shouldnt be trying to show a little sister how to get off too. I don't understand how my parents didn't realize, and just told me it was a ''private thing i should do in my room.'" They loved me but they were neglectful and had no idea how to take care of a kid at the time. I got off in public too. I got pretty much alone internet access maybe around 7 years? And I was doing absolutely sick shit like getting turned on by dead animals? EXTREMELY fucked up shit. Sick fantasies followed me up until recently (Guro, loli, incest, etc) that wasn't fucking helped by my cousin molesting me and showing me how to find porn. Then came the grooming from older men and kickstarted my need for that type of attention so I started doing sick shit to appease them that only ended maybe 2 years where I'd talk openly about fetishes. I want a fuck retry at life FUCK

I sympathized with you until you said you don’t want to live in some “ghetto” I’m sorry but if you really wanted to desperately move out any place would do so long as you have a roof over your head. But it’s clear that you like your brother have been spoiled and I know you think having to pay rent and pay off your college tuition etc makes you believe you aren’t but you are. Your mom could’ve easily kicked you out right after you graduated but she stuck it out. And I’m pretty sure whatever rent you were paying her was nothing compared to the actual cost of an apartment or heck even a room. So that’s why you’ve been able to save up. Your brother is younger than you and he may be all those things but he is still younger. You are almost 30 and complaining about not getting help to pay for things but did you even ask her to help you? Or did you just assume she would? Again I get being upset but you sound pretty entitled. Just ignore your brother stupid remarks and don’t give up apt hunting. Look I know it’s hard but if you are employed and college educated you can make it happen! Take it from me I went from sleeping in a basement on a blow up bed for almost 2 yrs to finally have my own place. You just got to not give up and save save save!

I feel you anon. Thankfully I wasn't molested but I had basically the same experience with masturbation and porn, being told flipantly that I should 'do that in the shower' instead of in the middle of the living room and not explaining me why, never having my internet usage checked, watching fucked up porn and hentai, daydreaming about getting kidnapped and gangraped. I also really blame my parents.

Our brains are fucked up for sure. Brains are so malleable and it happened in our formative years. I try to be porn free but I still relapse from time to time even if I fucking hate the porn industry.

My grandma lived in the said "ghetto" and her entire apartment got robben, therefore I avoid that area. Yes, I do want to move out and I'm here to pay for everything by myself. I already did that while studying, I just moved back home when I finished everything . The difference is that the town I lived back then was super cheap, I had a nice place, here in my town you only get a tiny ass room for the same price, if only. The frustration comes from the fact that nothing works out and therefore get so mad when my brother manage to accomplish it and I'm not. What do I wrong? That's the thing that I'm missing here? I have a job to pay for everything? Why I'm always so close but then get a call that says "well, it won#t work out with this flat"? We only have the super cheap places, that goes mostly to students because this is an university town or the super expensive ones. The ones in the middle price range are impossible to get. And that's another thing that when I hear that people found a place and I'm not: how did they do this? It's just … it makes me really mad and it really bothers me. I know I sound pathetic lmao

I really need to stop masturbating. Once I start I could go at it for an hour, finish like 6 times, and when my arm hurts too much and I get up and shower I'm not actually satisfied yet.

Whenever I manage to go a few days without doing it, it just makes me hornier to the point where if I don't do it , sex is all I can think about.

I'm so frustrated at myself and my lack of nerve. Living all my life just to get praise from my parents has really done me no favours, considering that my good behaviour and achievements doesn't matter to them if my sister is acting up. Suddenly I am just as bad as her because I am the older sister and i was supposed to put her in check. I've become such a pushover and so desperate to avoid conflict and have people not think badly of me. It's all for nothing, yet I don't have the balls to go get what I want in life. I really want to be living alone in my little apartment, but the stepping stones allowing me to make this move aren't there. I've been hoping around degrees trying to find my passion, wasted so much money on chasing degrees I can't get because no matter how hard i try, I'm too retarded to do something that was supposed to be so easy. I thought I would be done with university in 3 quick years. I thought I would find myself and become beautiful, confident and excited for the future. Everyone told me to be positive and I took their advice. I try so hard, but I never get my way. Instead I'm now trapped lying to my parents that I passed my second year and they seem to think I am going to get a degree in a couple of months. I hate myself to fucking much. I hate how incompetent I am. I'm not good for anything and I hate that i can't just kill myself already because I have no nerve to go ahead with it.

Not OP but AYRT and my disinterest in sex is definitely because of depression, but despite making strides in overcoming it and living a relatively normal and emotionally stable life for over a year now, my sex drive just hasn't come back. Maybe when if I can ever get health insurance I'll go see a therapist about it, but I'm not seeing/interested in seeing anyone so it doesn't really seem all that worth it. The biggest inconvenience is when I'll just sometimes think 'hm, haven't masturbated in a bit, maybe I should since no one is home' and my brain just feels so compelled to do it but my body feels so fucking meh about it and it just takes forever to do and it just starts feeling like a weird chore.

Living with parents and the mobile home park we're at only has one water line for a hundred people. Someone had plumbers come to fix something, and they turned off water for the park without telling anyone this morning. While fixing something, it turns out they broke that main line so we're going to be without water for at least another day. I am pissed that I'm going to have to essentially shower with water bottles for who knows how long and no-one, not even the main office, bothered to say anything. The neighborhood consists of predominantly elderly people who are in need of basic necessities like this and they didn't say anything to me so I know they didn't say shit to them. I'm also mad I didn't just get up at the crack of dawn to shower but I couldn't have known.

I don’t mind it during the day but recently they’ve just been pushing it farther and farther and it’s 10 fucking PM now and I can still hear the sounds of kids screaming loudly. Not just one of two kids, like 10-15 kids all in the little play groups. Like who is out with their kids that fucking late? That plaza is also crawling with homeless people at night, it always was but since corona the amount of hobos pissing and sprawling on bench’s and stuff has increased by at least 3 fold, more benches are occupied then empty at this point. If these parents just push it by one more hour they are gonna start clashing with homeless that come there to sleep at night cause they general begin arriving at around 11 and some of who can get very aggressive.I just want PEACE and QUIET at night. I’m nervous that even if they open parks people will be too fucking lazy to walk to park now that they realize they can just take their kid to the plaza around the corner.FML.

That standard deviation is far too narrow and causes everyone to rate people as a 5 or risk a goddamn warning.

A few months ago I tried dating a guy in my friend’s group for a few weeks, before I put an end to it because he was too clingy, and I wasn’t really feel it anyway.
He got a bit upset and salty about it (reason why I didn’t want to be with him was his emotional tantrums) but ultimately we still remained friends because we’re all in our late 20s and I thought we were all mature adults. We even dated other people briefly.

Well, was talking to a guy who started hanging with my friends a few months ago and he basically told me he felt bad and didn’t know how to announce it to me but when he joined, that one guy told him and others that I was basically a slut and sleeping around with everyone.

I’m so mad. I feel dumb that I spent so much time around this guy, thinking we were still friends, when he trash talked me publicly to people who didn’t even know me. I can’t believe this guy is in his early 30s.
I cut him off immediately but I feel so betrayed. I was feeling confident in my own body but turns out, even if all you do is have fun consensual relationships, some salty dude will be raging about it.

I am depressed as shit bc my first day back at work since being furloughed has been pushed back again for like the fourth fucking time, my unemployment is fucked because I have a late filing (I was super depressed at the end of May/beginning of June so forgot to request payment because all I did was cry and sleep. my fault but still sucks) and of fucking course I cannot get in touch with anyone by calling or emailing to remove it, and (of course!) my grandma died yesterday. I texted my boyfriend about this and he called me but it just made me feel worse because I felt like he just seemed annoyed I was crying and barely understandable because of all this shit. He told me he loved me but that he really did need to finish his homework he's behind in so he would text me occasionally but couldn't talk too long. I know he's not in a good place either because of his mom and because he IS behind in that class so I know he couldn't really stop and have me cry for like three hours to him, but it was difficult to try and talk to him when I felt like I was distracting him or some shit. Plus it was like all he could focus on was the unemployment bit, like I'm fucking trying to get in touch to see if they can remove my late filing but its a fucking government agency so I probably won't get in touch until like fucking August, especially with how bad unemployment is rn.

Therapy was actually making me feel better and now I feel right back at square one. My grandma dying really made me realize how lonely I am. I have no family in the state (or even in neighboring states), my bf lives an hour or so away, I only have 2 friends (who I barely talk to anymore), and I live alone. I haven't really left my house except for occasional grocery store trips. I just wish I could hug someone rn. Sorry if this made no sense I've been drinking.

I understand how you feel anon. What are you into? Maybe you could find a forum or group for your interests online! I found a website for people who are really into puzzles, and it made me feel more accepted and like I had friends even though I didn't join (because I was too shy and don't have a facebook kek). Sometimes just lurking can help. Do you have a good relationship with your mom, dad, or any siblings? Maybe get in touch with them if you do.

If nothing else, I've felt the same way and feel the same way rn. I love you anon and I will be your friend!

My life is literally a train wreck right now. A train wreck is probably putting it lightly actually.
-living in a foreign country for the last 2.5 years
- my mom might need surgery and it’s scary
-passport expires soon so I couldn’t even go back in an emergency
-coronavirus complicates things even more
-divorce should be finally completed in a few days
-however I’ve been separated from him for almost a year.
-coworkers started treating me shitty recently. Not to brag but I am a hard worker and take my job seriously so I just want basic normal respect levels at least.
-was raped by some stranger over a year ago and the police found him a few months ago but this investigation and repeating shit is wearing on me and I just want to give up since I know there’s a slim chance he’ll be prosecuted let alone convicted.
-I have a new boyfriend since I separated from my husband
-he always had anger problems when he got angry it was a kinda scary extreme rage and he said shitty things, however I’m no angel and I’m also psychopathic when I’m angry
-two days ago I tried to talk to him about the coworkers being shitty to me after we had a nice day out, little bit of chores but also had ice cream together and made it into a date,and he just sighed loudly and got really cold towards me. I was kinda frustrated since I feel like I can rarely talk to him. He uses the excuse of having a bad day or being stressed so he doesn’t want to hear it but even after having a nice day he also doesn’t want to hear it?
-I got mad and threw my phone down and then he got up and flew into a rage and kicked the garbage can, kicked the cleaning bucket and broke it, screaming, looking like the hulk, I got kinda frustrated more because he always does this when I get upsets or angry and it feels annoying because now I have to drop my feelings and try to make him feel better.
-I tell him that. He gets more angry. I told him I’m stressful and told him about all the above things. He told me “all of those things are your fault” I got extremely upset because that includes my rape. So I ask him “my rape is my fault?” Also upsets because before he took my side in my divorce and said it’s my husbands fault for being shitty but now suddenly he’s acting like it’s my fault. Also how is my moms surgery my fault?
-I hit him in the bicep honestly because I was so angry and his comments were so cruel
-after that I ran into the kitchen to get away from him. He dragged me back into the bedroom. I talked more. And he hit me in the face. Hard. He took my shirt and started whipping my back with it. Like I’m shirtless here because he took my shirt. He’s whipping me. Stopping and thinking and continues whipping me, so it wasn’t even an impulse. I try to get up to go into the kitchen and he hits me again in the face, hard, I’m crying face down on the bed
-he grabs me by my hair and lifts my head up by my hair and gets right down in my ear and tells me he will kill me. He says this 2-3 times.
-later I try to go into the bathroom and he follows me in and pushes me into the bathtub so I hit my head on the wall behind it and fall down. He gets me out of there bathtub and I’m screaming in the kitchen hoping the neighbour calls the cops. Hélices me in the leg and puts me in a choke hold or something. He’s strangling me and I can barely breathe. I fell down and he stops.
-long story short but he did a lot of shit. I’m not completely innocent because I hit him but I’m scared. The next day he acted like usual and kisses me hugs me tells me he loves me.

I have a huge nasty bruise on my arm. It literally covers my whole forearm. And I checked my scalp with my camera because it hurt and there’s cuts and dried blood on my scalp. My knees are also bruised and cut from being thrown around/falling down.

I just want to die.

i hate PCOS, was diagnosed last year and so i started doing what my doctors suggested. i lost a large amount of weight, spent months exercising and dieting and doing good skincare with the acne vulgaris I got from my condition. taking metphormin at night, all was good for a short while.

but i easily managed to gain the extra weight back, and somehow it started to increase - currently 1 kilo less than 70. and this time exercising and dieting isn't making any progress. my hair has been thinning badly for years and i'm happy that i found the answer to my problem but like, it's too late. I accepted my fate in a chance of becoming bald. no amount of solutions my mom keeps on suggesting is going to make it thick, permanently.

and i can't have kids, or barely going to have kids despite medicines to help me conceive. and adopting a child that isn't blood related, even if it were related to me, can be still seen as a shame or disappointment to womanhood here.

my dad doesn't try to understand PCOS, so is mom. they all think its temporary. they all think it's my fault whatsoever when i assume i got PCOS the moment i entered puberty, when i was 9 at the time, the effects of my condition worsen in highschool and it grew the moment i entered college.

at least, the acne is gone. but the acne scar are still visible if you get close to me. but i don't think i'd fine someone to love me tbh, to engage in a romantic relationship and hopefully get married because society still thinks marriage isn't complete if there isn't a child in the picture in my country.

I wish my brother would disappear. Sometimes I wish he had been aborted. My parents were way too old when they had him. And they were/are definitely too old to deal with his autism. He's high-functioning, but a grade-A 18-year old asshole. He hasn't finished secondary school, and I don't think he's planning to. He plays video games in his bedroom all day, and doesn't clean anything, doesn't even put his dishes in the dishwasher. His room smells like a 14-year old’s.

As he was pretty violent in the past, my parents babied him and let him do anything, such as letting him put his computer in his room at age 15, which was a terrible fucking idea 'cause he'd just play games all night and then refuse to go to school the next morning. He's been thrown out of 3 schools for being violent or because of his atrocious grades.

He once punched through a door pane of the room I was hiding from him when I was 14 and he was 10. I had to walk home from school with him and he would hit me the whole way. Now he's 18, doesn't do jack shit, refuses to go to therapy and gets angry when you ask him to do something or give him advice.

He's recently become more violent during lockdown and it is hell. Just 20 minutes ago, he hit my dad hard enough on the head to make him fall and bleed (my dad is fucking 65 so this is not a fucking joke) and grabbed my mom by the wrists and threw her to the ground. I just stood there in fear. I couldn't fucking do anything. My parents refuse to put him in psychiatric care or whatever. But I'm fearing for their life and mine.

I'm still a uni student, so moving out isn’t really an option. My student room will only be available in September. I can't exactly go live with either of my sisters either. I’m so mad at everyone. At my brother for being such a dickhead and blaming everything on his autism, my parents for being such doormats, social services (for a lack of a better term) for just not giving a flying rat’s ass. But I’m mostly really scared.

I don’t know if I should call the police, the psychiatric hospital, my sisters or all the above.

I wish he would just go. Storm off after an argument, never to be seen again. He won’t, of course, because how else is he going to play his fucking video games?

It's okay to hate him, but you should be way more angry at your parents cause this is mostly their fault.
Just from an outsider's perspective:
>His room smells like a 14-year old’s.
Yeah my room never smelled off when I was 14 cause I would've been screamed at. My mother had conniptions when I was older and in college and dared to leave clothes on the floor when I was rushed. Dish in the sink? Screamed at. No chores done? Screamed at.
Not saying my mom wasn't a bitch, but if your parents actually cared about your brother's lack of standards then they'd do something about it.
>my parents babied him and let him do anything
They treated him like a king when he didn't earn it so now he acts like a tyrant who's entitled to it. Now nobody can tell him anything because he's a child in an adult male's body. Someone needs to either cut him off or kick his ass into compliance, and I've got a gut feeling your geriatric parents aren't gonna concern themselves with the latter if they can even perform the former.
Next time when he beats your parents call the fucking cops, it's aggravated assault. If he can't afford bail or a lawyer then your parents best not simp and do it for him. See if he went to court, he might be able to get resources for his anger and co-dependency issues although he will whine, kick, and scream the whole way.


I'd say if you really want to get him pissed, the next time he beats on your parents and you sneak into his room and take his gaming consoles. But that would probably get you all murdered as the sociopath clearly doesn't love any of you.

Your brother sounds a lot like my older brother. Mine is also a high functioning autist who used to be violent. My brother calmed down once he got some kind of medication from a psychiatrist and trooned out, he isn't violent anymore but shows no remorse for the time he was. The reality is though that the only thing you can do is leave. You can't force your parents to change, and you can't expect him to get a sudden desire to leave.
Dealing with an autist and doormat parents is so tiring. Everything they do is excused with autism. They never change and make no effort to.

I've barely logged into facebook for almost if not more than 2 months.

I feel like people who are obsessed with always trying to save money and find cheap versions of things are annoying, like sometimes it's okay to just enjoy yourself or splurge on something. I'm not talking about people who are in genuinely bad financial situations but people who are just cheap and they inflict it on to you by never wanting to do anything that costs money or trying to find a cheaper version of something constantly when you hang out with them which means you are kind of forced to do it as well to not make them uncomfortable.

He buys things like in bulk because it was "such a good deal" and it'll all just end up sitting around in random parts of the house because we don't have enough room in the cabinets to fit all of it.

My parents secretly put aside a "rainy day bail money fund" for me because they were sure I was going to be arrested these past few years for assaulting people (men). If a drunk dude wants to ruin my night, I have no issue hitting him with my skateboard. I am almost 6' tall and extremely deep-voiced so it's like having a big ol' tranny run up on you. I don't pick fights but I certainly spin them in my favour with truckfucking.
It hasn't happened in almost two years now but I have this type of pent up rage where I could cut down trees for a week without stopping, or crush cars but with my own elbow grease and brutality. I can't stop feeling so angry, I swear it's the driving force that keeps me upright and walking. I rejoice when I have a reason to hit someone. I have no idea how to stop or if I even should, it just feels so damn fucking good to explore rage like that. To feel the sadness and the confusion like it's in a big mixing bowl but blended poorly.
The day I'm finally arrested, I will sleep well on my flat, uncomfortable cell bed knowing that I had fun and did right by me. The day I'm finally punished for how badly I control myself, I will feel justified still.

I feel this and I've experienced a particular male version of it with my guy friends. I know that it's very unfair of me to think this because everyone is entitled to their own priorities, but it's honestly pissed me off to see various male friends balk at doing totally reasonable, normal, expected social things (that women tend to do more without bitching because we're socialized to do the work in maintaining relationships) just because they cost a bit more money than the bare bones alternative or not doing something.

The two key examples that come to mind are male friends who are super resistant to going to any sit down restaurant and being resistant to buying any drinks whatsoever at bars/paying cover or tickets to bar shows. And I'm talking about people who I know have the money to occasionally spend $15-$20 on a restaurant meal instead of $8 counter service. Another example is skipping out on a party or event because they don't want to pay for an uber and they bitch out of walking. I promise you that none of this stuff in my city is overly expensive, and I would never expect someone to spend like that all the time, but literally never doing it out of frugality??

I would never actually bring this up to them because I know it's their choice but the thing that really bothers me about it is that they seem to not see that there's value in spending a little money to participate in social activities with friends who care about them. The type of attitude I'm talking about definitely has a self centered edge to it.

Almost nobody who casually accuses others of having BPD has enough knowledge of the disorder to legitimately do so. It's basically become a meme at this point and is just used to shame women that show any emotional instability whatsoever. Sounds like you're equally guilty of having done so, too.

You probably should seek therapy, but don't worry about having BPD. Unless you think having the label would actually help you in some way, I wouldn't even worry about receiving a diagnosis at all. Even licensed psychologists misdiagnose people with BPD all the time.

No. 575095

>>575093
Agreed, and honestly anon unless you desperately need it for insurance/treatment access reasons, you don't WANT an official BPD diagnosis. At least in the US, psychs are very, very bad at accurately diagnosing people with it and it carries a large stigma that could cause care providers to view you with a lot less credibility. And you don't deserve that, no one does. I objectively meet enough of the checklist criteria for BPD but after taking a (clinical grade) personality test, a retarded psychiatrist told me she didn't think I was BPD because my "gender roles" score was too androgynous and women with BPD tended to be "very feminine, like using their sexuality for attention". Yes, seriously. My girl also had pussy hat art in her office, so take that as you will.

I used to think I had BPD. But then I realized my issues were very clearly linked to unaddressed trauma, and I didn't need to give myself a pejorative label for my natual, human responses to adverse circumstances. If you have trauma, focus on getting therapy for that. DBT can also be helpful if you think learning coping skills would be better for you and you do not need a BPD diagnosis for that, it's used for anxiety/depression all the time and those don't carry anywhere near the level of stigma.

Thank you for this. I feel like I'm constantly pulling fucking teeth trying to explain to people that BPD traits can also be indicative of childhood and chronic trauma. If you're going through a particularly rough patch, it can look like BPD even to a trained clinician.

Personality disorders are stable across all contexts, and individuals who have them are extremely difficult to work with. They typically lack self-awareness and don't fully comprehend that anything is wrong with them. It's also not just certain relationships in the person's life that tend to be unstable (ie: you struggle in romantic relationships, but your friendships are fine), and rather all of your relationships suffer as a result of your behavior.

Honestly, if you haven't lost all of your friends and loved ones, are constantly having to move, join new circles of people, etc, you are probably not suffering from a personality disorder.

I think it's ironic that BPD is mostly diagnosed in women, when the two people that always come to mind for me that may genuinely meet the criteria for diagnosis are men (Onision and Sam Hyde).

I could just be paranoid And she posted cute pics a day before on her insta but I know turning 30 for us women especially if we aren’t married and don’t have children can be triggering. I’m scared she might have done something stupid. I hope I’m just being a paranoid loon.

The reasons women usually give as to why they don't want daughters are almost always indicative of internalized misogyny.

>"I don't want to have to worry about them all the time!"

Yeah, because they're more likely to be harassed, raped, ignored, emotionally abused, physically abused, and sexually abused by men.

>"I don't think I could raise a daughter as well as a son"

Because children are more likely to mimic the behavioral patterns of the same-gendered parent. You, as her mother, have internalized misogyny that you haven't worked through, therefore she is likely to develop all of the same issues with low self-worth, learned helplessness, submissiveness, etc. Since you don't like these traits in yourself, you are also likely to contribute to your daughter's issues by shaming her all the time for being this way.

I was afraid of being labeled a scrote so in trying to not come off like one i ended up sounding like one lmao. But you guys have to admit that women are often judged once we hit a certain age. Hell you guys constantly use women's ages against them on this site. Even if she didnt want kids/marriage its still a forced pressure that is placed on us whether we subscribe to it or not. My sister is very sensitive and always has been and she has mentioned multiple times that she is dreading turning 30. But i often brushed it off because i figured its just a life crisis a lot of people go through. To be honest even I did when i turned 23-25 which i realize now is ridiculous.But it happens. Again i could just be projecting because i get really bad birthday depression too. Im sorry if i came off like women past 30 are unworthy. I dont feel that way at all. Im just scared and trying to think of a reason why she wouldnt contact anyone.

There is but lets be honest, a massive amount of that pressure is self inflicted. I'm gonna go on a tangent here because it's the vent thread.

Every time a young girl sees a 30 year old woman panicking about her age status, she starts to fear becoming 30 as well. Every woman who cries about being single and childless makes younger women see being single and childless as the end of the world. This is one thing where women need to take responsibility and have some self awareness when it comes to openly complaining and worrying, because it really does influence young women and functions as fear mongering. Men are never going to let women be content with aging, it's something we should avoid publicly supporting (even if that's how we feel) because it's fucking ridiculous to think that life ends at 30. It's time for women to collectively get a grip and stop being a bad influence on younger women by being so male identified and believing their bullshit about age.

is happiness the point of life? so many people say their goal in life is to "be happy," but how can one expect a single emotion, happiness, to stay stable for a long enough period of time that it becomes a state of being? to become "a happy person," how much time should be spent being happy vs. unhappy? it may be arbitrary.

happiness is overrated and ceases to exist without the lows of sadness, frustration, and anger. just continue to move forward in pursuit of progression. personal progression and understanding. the world is uncertain but at the very least, use the fact that you continue to move forward through time as motivation to begin exploring the self.

I wiped out on my bike while drunkenly taking bottles to the depot for more booze money. As far as everyone has been concerned, I stopped drinking months ago. I had to come clean to my bf about my secret drinking. His family and my family keep checking in on me since I bonked my head pretty bad and I feel horrible that everyone is pampering me because I decided to pound back vodka; even though I promised I'd stop ages ago.
This isn't the first time I've had an accident and had to come clean over my drinking. So far the only thing that works is to keep all money out of my hands. My bf is wonderful and willing to responsibly hold onto our money for me, but I'm ashamed that it had to come to this. Everytime I get my hands on the smallest amount of money it turns into drink money. I've paid in all quarters.
I'm wondering if I should get more help, but he thinks that as long as I can keep my wallet empty I should be able to stay sober. I hope it's as simple as that.

Being single and childless at 30 could feel like the end of the world to a woman that's important to outside of being 'male identified'. If a young women doesn't feel that way because they have their own aspirations and views then they aren't going to suddenly start feeling that way because they see another woman has different goals or expectations for life then they do.

Try to convert the sadness into anger and use it to achieve what you need and go to college, you can become a better person than he's and the first step is to emotionally detach from him. Good luck, you deserve better.

I've been friends with my ex for almost ten years. We dated back in 2011 for a few months, broke up on somewhat amicable terms. I thought he was gay cause he wouldn't touch my puss and we never fucked. He's bi but he never really had sustained relationships with men. In short he's got a lot of mental problems with really bad image issues with diagnosed anorexia. In and out of mediocre jobs, etc.

He's been living with an older woman for a few years now. Recently he's been contacting me again, but has really upped the ante in the past year after I broke it off with my ex of almost 4 years. This older woman does a lot for him because he doesn't drive and he's not meaningfully employed. It says they're 'engaged' on facebook and usually they're posting sappy pics together, but no posts lately. He's been going behind her back to echeat and say how terrible their relationship is. He's sent me nudes and has been flirting with me. He has no balls to dump her cause he'd have no place to go. What's extra gross is the fact that I'm definitely not the only woman he attempts this with. When he has an emotional spiral he'll post on facebook begging for people to talk, and sometimes he'll message me to ask if I'm around. If I don't respond immediately, he'll go to the next available woman who will give him positive attention. So that if I eventually answer, he doesn't respond, cause he's caught up in talking to the other person he solicited. He only wants me whenever it's convenient to suit his needs, he doesn't give a flying fuck and it bothers me.

I see him for what he is, which is a user. I suspect he's trying to gas me up and get on my sympathetic side so he can monkey branch away from this woman when the breakup inevitably happens, but I ain't supporting his ass. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with this woman, she seems like a nice lady who's probably sick of taking care of an emotionally needy manbaby who's almost 30 but still needs to be coddled and driven to his retail job. If what he's saying about their relationship being strained is to be believed. He's such a vampire.

I love him and I'm hurt too that his shit broke because he's been poor his entire life, like dirt poor, and he never buys things for himself. I usually ignore him when he gets mad at me because he stops being mad soon enough, just like it happens to me (and yes, I know this is wrong and that I shouldn't take my anger on people which I've been consciously stopping myself from doing) but today I was crying too because of his things breaking. I'm going to college and him and my mom are supporting me financially but it pisses me off that I can't do the same for them, and that he's blaming me for something I didn't do, but now that I'm less sad I understand why he reacted the way he did and I'll just stop talking to him for a while until he starts missing me and calls.

Friend left the state so her bf found himselF another girl that looked creepily like her.
He accidentally knocked her up They almost aborted but didn’t. Kid has a ton of medical issues.
A few years later he learns friend is in abusive relationship. he convinces friend to move with him and since she is bi, tells her she should also love his baby momma.
Friend moves in then basically immediately says she is asexual and won’t be physical with either of them Friend constantly complains how all her pay check goes to buying “their” kid insulin. She sleeps on a couch, and on her days off bf cries about needing rides to and from work.
The baby momma stays home playing final fantasy all day, saying she isn’t mentally prepared to take her own child to the clinic so friend takes the kid to doctor’s appointments.
Friend pays most of the bills,, goes to the grocery store, and is the only one who drives. Her bf literally had a panic attack last time he went for groceries with her bc she was “pressuring” him to make too many choices and it was reminding him of his “abusive” mom.

I have such sour feelings about fucking my ex after we broke up because it was so shitty. He's so sexually repressed that he wont talk about sex outside of the act, and when I asked him for foreplay he'd just be like "uhh but idk how!?" despite me sending instructional videos and pdfs of how to finger, how to eat out. I mean he'd try, and he'd be shit at it, and I'd have to ask him every time if I wanted any (which usually wasn't worth it), and tried to excuse it with being a virgin before meeting me, but I dated plenty of virgins and they ended up amazing because they were receptive to feedback and loved to learn. He wasn't demanding anything in bed either, so it wasn't self centred. But also it was incredibly self centred because outside of the act he'd be all "uwu what's sex?" which sure, some people are prudes, except it came at the cost of me getting pleasure, even when I'm so fucking easy to please.

Anyway we did it, next to no foreplay but OK I just wanted penetration and…he lasted 2 minutes. I just felt humiliated and used as he got up to go clean himself and I went through all the bother of seducing him and for what? To be used? I'm more deeply disappointed that I allowed a lack of foreplay in our time, and sessions like that COULD happen, and the attitude was "oh well, bad luck, we'll try another time" but seeing it as it was once I was out of the relationship made me so ashamed.
I also used to masturbate after sex because I rarely got satisfaction out of it. I liked the intimacy aspect of it, but isn't that fucked? I figured I'd give him time to open up sex wise, but after a year not much changed.

Hate to say not all men and I get you're hurt so I won't, but the red flag was already there with him confessing while having a gf. If he's trembling and wants to express himself further, why's he ignoring you now you've rejected him? I'll be honest, I think he was just hoping for either a sidepiece or a new person to hop onto.

Antifa and Black Lives Matter are two organizations that really taint morally good stances. I wish more people saw it like that. I know a lot of people that agree with the phrases, but don't think they're organizations.

disagree. i think anyone with a basic sense of how nuance and the world really works wouldn't see an entire movement like BLM as "tainted" just because of individual assholes.
the public hasn't extended that same amount of hate towards individual killer cops vs all cops as killers as much as it has individual rioters vs the entire BLM movement being a riot.

large scale movements and organizations, especially civil rights movements, or political organizations that don't have a defined "leader" per se (antifa) are extremely disorganized, the most organization you'll find in the US is by a city or state level, and even then it's community organizing so it's still all over the place. Anyone who has been on the streets will tell you things can go from peaceful to violent just from someone being pushed into the street or a waterbottle falling.

To define an entire movement as a riot or wrong just because of a "few bad apples" but not extending that same judgement towards a nationwide police force with much more levels of organization and what should be a higher standard of accountability is bs.

the movement isn't tainted. white america perception might be, but if it's from judging a loosely organized grassroots movement for being loosely organized and having infiltrators/those looking to just start shit with no consequences take advantage of the situation, it lacks nuance.

I let an acquaintance crash at my place last month for a bit over a week when she was in a rough spot. While she stayed here she brought her dog, who was genuinely a really sweet young female. Very well behaved and affectionate. I even have this video I took of me rubbing her snout, she seemed so content and relaxed. Never had dogs myself, but they always seem to like me.

Haven't seen neither her nor the dog since because we haven't hung out since she got a new place.
She texted me the other day to let me know that the dog passed away. I wanted to ask why, because she was a young adult and not a senior. Not a breed with weird health problems. The timing is just suspicious to me, but she hasn't said and I'm too chickenshit to ask how. Maybe she really just did find her dead in the morning. I'm just sad that I'll never see that sweet dog again. And I really, really, really hope this girl is being honest and didn't do anything to hurt the dog or give it away with a cover up story (I don't know her that well but her family has hinted that she's a liar about certain things). Guess it's just my mind processing grief, and wanting to believe there's not a natural reason for this to have happened.

Figured it would be less hassle than bothering multiple friends and coworkers who seem legitimately busy, it's not like I gave them advanced notice. I got some people to do it but I needed one more.
Turns out my stepdad, who makes triple what I do as a project manager, can't even formulate a letter. Grammatical errors everywhere and makes me sound like an old hag with lines like "Back when anon was a younger, college age women." Wtf. The letter is rambling and he doesn't even say who he is or what his relationship is to me. He hands me his laptop after typing two bad paragraphs and tells me to fix it. Then he wanted me to dictate how to format it. It's so half-assed that I asked him if he looked up how to write such a letter? He told me "No cause I don't give a fuck."

I think I've become asexual.

For the record, I'm 30 years old, married and we have a young daughter. Before she was born and in my younger years, I loved sex. Even when I was fucking depressed as hell I still loved sex. After my daughter was born, I believed my sex drive would come back - and it did for a while. But we had a whole load of emotional problems between us that really affected me and wore me down. Somewhere amongst that, I stopped wanting sex.

I've honestly believed that you can't just become asexual when you used to be a very sexual person. But I've read cases where it's happened and it's eating me up. Mostly because I love my husband and don't want to lose him but I don't want to keep him in a sexless marriage. He loves sex, and he didn't marry an asexual woman. For the past 18 months and with each passing day, the idea of never having sex again is 100% fine with me. And I don't fucking get it. I don't.

Why is the human body so fucking stupid? It's almost like I did the thing where I made a baby, so my body is like "Nah fam, you can put it away now. Have you considered using your spare time for other activities now?" And suddenly reading every book I own and getting more sleep sounds WAY better than a sweaty session of the dance with no pants.

It's probably this and not the baby. I was in a long term relationship and thought I was okay with not fucking. Nope, turns out my ex was a giant manbaby who I wasn't attracted to anymore out of resentment and him never attempting to be romantic or put me in a mood that wasn't disgust. When I exited that relationship I loved having sex again.

I made a new friend for the first time in almost 4 years. I want to talk to them more but I am literally so behind in my life socially and rusty in my behavior that I say dumb things or weird cringy fodder when I dont know what else to say. And I am not like that! People dont usually intimidate me but for some reason this does! I dont want to come off overly eager to talk to them either. I guess I'm just starved for friendship so now I'm weak to possible rejection from someone I want to befriend. It's just pathetic.

We really do vibe and they're just as lonely as me so I guess it's ok. I really do hope we can be friends because I really miss talking to people again. I miss company. I was never a social person in the past but I still had friends but they drifted away and for the past 4-5 years I've just been focusing on my career and I stopped trying to keep up socially.

Before I met my gf's friends, she informed me that one of them was almost definitely cheating on his gf w/ another girl in the friendgroup (they were caught by another person in the group), and had said that he wished his gf would get snakebit and die (she does a lot of work outside). Naturally I hated that and asked why he wasn't ousted from the group and she just kinda shrugged. They're all a bunch of kweer libfems so of course they tolerate this shit while paying lip service to the feminist movement. Fast forward several months when we meet in person for the first time, I don't pay him much attention but am polite. He's an annoying soyboy with ugly greasy hair and an anime catgirl fixation. Any assumption you make about him is probably correct. There's a christmas secret santa, I decline to join because I'm paired with him. The group scrambles to find a gift for their precious catgirl so his feelings won't be hurt by my dyke cruelty. Despite my withdrawal I am gifted a slinky, kek. I continue to be polite up until the girl he is cheating with compares our hair and I laugh and say that my hair is much cleaner. Cunty I know but his hair looks like it houses rats and crows. The entire group gets assmad at me and is passive aggressive and rude until I eventually leave the groupchat. Me and gf moved away so now we no longer have to see these tumblr warrior losers but we're going back in the fall to visit and I'm going to be stuck in the house with my in-laws (who are lovely but have no wifi) while my gf goes off to visit Sir Ahegao Hoodie and his loyal mistress. What do I even fucking do anons? Hold my ground and isolate for my sanity or bite my tongue and play nice so as not to ruin my gf's visit home? We've talked about it numerous times but she's reluctant to acknowledge that I have a damn point in my dislike of him (as well as some really shitty actions of some other people in the group) and I don't see the point of continuing the subject with her further.

Okay so I caved and messaged her about it and we hashed it out. Apparently in the 2~ years since this happened, the creep FINALLY apologized and broke up w/ the gf and has "changed" and is welcomed in the group with open arms. She says that we're all friends with people who occasionally do bad things, and that's… true, I've been friends with a few regrettable individuals myself although all the bad ones have been cut off by now. These are people she's known since middle school and is reluctant to let go because they've been there for her in hard times. While I find them repugnant, I'm not going to hold it against her personally. She's apologized to me several times for the whole situation and says she feels terrible for allowing it to go on for as long as it did. I've made it clear that my feelings have not changed and she accepts that and doesn't expect me to. I'm considering the matter closed but not forgotten or forgiven, and have made it clear that if they want to attempt to interact with me, then I expect an apology first for their incredibly rude behavior following a very normal reaction to a cheating creep. However I'm still stuck in the shitty position of being bored af and stuck at home while avoiding these freaks.

You are not the one who was cheated on so why is this all about you? Let your gf visit her family without all the drama. You've got no reason to interact with these people if you don't want to.

If you want an apology from them you're going to have to explain your angle and ask for one, people aren't mind readers, they will just think you're a dick if you keep being cold to them for some reason that they have probably forgotten. Remember they're only interacting with you because they're trying to support your girlfriend, fighting with them only affects her in the end.

>Sometimes I'll inadvertently read some some story involving child abuse and it will fuck me up for days.
Same anon. I read a lot of true crime shit and the ones involving abused/trafficked children really hits me in the feels. My own childhood was abusive, but it could have been much worse. It almost feels like survivor's guilt reading about kids whose lives were eerily similar, but either died or were abused even worse.

My fucking god I'm so, so tired of 2020 wokeness. I hate it. I hate all of it. I hate virtue signaling white BLM faggots who think they're ~not like other whiteys~. I hate tranny bootlicking handmaidens who are willing to throw any woman under the bus for men in dresses and trample over gay rights. I hate the constant fandom discourse crying wolf claiming that someone shipping a 16-year old with a 18-year old is a pedophile to the point the word has lost all its meaning. I hate the trend of putting brand names under magnifying glass to remove "slurs" just so they can pat each other on the back for ending racism. I hate that every form of media has to be "diverse" in such a performative way it feels fake, tacky and intentionally "provocative" (but not to the point it would piss off China or Islamic countries of course!). I hate the cancel culture digging up almost 10 year old ~problematic~ content from d-list e-celebs just so they can ruin their name. I hate that I have to be knowledgeable of all nuances of American identity politics and history even though I don't even live there. I hate it all.

And most of all I hate the fact that I just have to stand there and take it. I constantly have to worry about my interests, my thoughts, my wordings, whatever I do because some psycho might come across me and declare me the next target over some innocuous mistake. Apologizing or explaining yourself does no good, it only fans the flames. I can't join any communities anymore in fear of some psychotic snowflake sucking the life and fun out of everything. Everyone has to be on their toes and only talk about small pleasantries, actual discussion is never encouraged because someone will always shit their pants over thematics. I have to be very careful about what I say because two years from now something completely normal and acceptable might become questionable and my words might be held against me.

They don't care about human rights, they don't care about minorities, they don't care about anything else but their bottomless need for validation and asspats for being a good person. That's why so many woke communities constantly have sexual harassment and grooming scandals. Their interest is not genuine by any means. They refuse open dialogue because they love wrecking havoc, not improving things. They don't volunteer, they don't help people, they barely even donate and keep coming up with excuses why their lazy ass slacktivism has to suffice. They're disgusting, worthless parasites living off of other peoples' misery. The ones who aren't complete disordered sociopaths simply follow suite because they're too scared to question anything the apostles cram down their throats and go overdrive simply to avoid being the next one to be ostracized and assassinated. It's a fucking cult, only they aren't merciful enough to Heaven's Gate themselves.

Social media was a fucking mistake, who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to put people from all walks of life into an environment where they have the power to mold everyone's reality by manipulation and falsified information?

tl;dr: SJWs should eat a box of nails

It ends when it comes about back to them. The rhetoric keeps changing at a pace so fast that nobody can keep up with it. And just like with dictators who rule with fear, one of their trusted men will betray them at some point. We've already seen a lot of faux-woke bastards fall down because they pissed off or threatened someone close to them for the last time and they started airing out the dirty laundry, discord logs, DMs and so forth. False idols will fall and each time they do more people will be disillusioned with the movement. I'm hoping for this culture to expire by 2025 and social media platforms are doing a pretty damn good job exiling people with their bullshit algorithms, data mining and big corporation rules.

It's just like the hippie movement in the 60's, there are surprisingly many parallels I might add, it was big and radical for the time but soon enough people got tired of being retarded all the time and lead by abusive nutjobs. Back then the society was left with a ton of young people with a drug problem, now we'll have mutilated detransitioners. Here's to hoping Disco will rise again in the 2020s anons.

I feel horrible about how lonely I feel and how hard it is for me to make friends ever since my closest group of friends turned out to be nothing but people who used my kindness and money.

It breaks me and makes me want to hurt myself because whenever my s/o spends time with his sister and their friends, I want to cry cause I wish I had friends too.

I just learned that one of my best friends is in a very abusive relationship and I don't know how to get her out of it. They're both YouTubers making music content and it pains me to see her boyfriend be successful despite the shit he did.

I know it's not my place to speak out so I've been quiet and pretending nothing's wrong. He pressures her into singing when she doesn't want to, talks about his exes in front of her when she refuses sex, uses her for clickbait.

She's an emotional mess because of this. This is her first relationship and he has been in a lot before her. When I say he pressures her into doing things she doesn't want to is him repeatedly asking untill she doesn't say no.

I have been depressed since a disturbingly young age and it just reeks of newfaggotry, it's almost insulting to see her post about these clichés while her own friends are doing worse than her yet she'd never know, because we don't need to talk about it 247 in some aesthetically pleasing posts. I have no idea why this annoys me so much, it's good that she is talking about it but the level of smugness she emits whenever she posts shit like "uwu drinking water is good, did you know you can take vitamin d to feel less sad, dID YOU KNOW DEPRESSION DOESN'T MEAN YOU CRY ALL THE TIME!??

I’ve suffered from depression as a young teen, possibly even younger. I have a friend who would occasionally mock me for it, saying that she has it worse than me because her mom had cancer (her mom was obviously lying about it just to get attention and drugs but I never said anything about it to her because I didn’t want to her feelings. Years later, I got confirmation from her sister that she’s was indeed lying about it but I disagrees). Years later, said friends always whines about how depressed she in on FB. Granted, I do think she does suffer from depression to an extent but I hate the way she goes about it. It so “Woe is me! Look how sad I am!” I hate talking about my depression towards other people and I only do it to people I trust. I don’t want it to define me.

One time during an argument, I told her she wasn’t really depressed and she was just using it to get attention. I do think what I said was unnecessarily harsh and mean, but I was fucking sick of her acting like she knew everything about depression when years ago, she used to mock me for being depressed. Everyone acted like I was an asshole for saying such a thing.

I'm so tired of feeling constantly uncomfortable in my own body. I have horrible anxiety, depression and anger problems. I'm also always in some type of pain or feeling sick/fatigued. I have so many issues with inflammation and doctors have never been able to find anything physically wrong with me. All of this started happening when I was in a severely abusive relationship that I'm thankfully out of now. When things happen that remind me of being trapped like that again, I start to have pain again. Doctors don't give a shit. They tell me stress and trauma "does not" cause any of the problems I have. I'm so tired of being told I'm retarded and don't even know my own body. I fucking hate doctors and how close-minded they are, but at the same time, I keep going to see them because I'm afraid that my problems are going to turn into something dangerous like cancer.

It's not fibromyalgia, but you're right, there is a a strong link with that and anxiety/trauma. I have recurring inflammation in two of my organs and corresponding diagnoses for each. I don't really want to get into the specifics because because a.) it stresses me out, and b.) one of them is rare enough that someone could recognize me on here if I said what it was.

Like, my scans have actually shown inflammation, but it's been very mild and I can have scans that show nothing at all. My blood work is also slightly abnormal. When I said they can't find anything physically wrong, I mean anything physically causing the inflammation, like cysts or a tumor.

Honestly I just don't even want to go see doctors about it anymore. I feel a lot better when I just don't focus on it, like to the point of having no symptoms whatsoever, but since one of my problems is rare, I get accused of not taking my health seriously if I try and refuse tests. I'm starting to feel like a guinea pig.

the idea people try to sell you of "following your heart" or your passions is a FRAUD. My friend wasted two years trying to figure out her passion until she finally took my advice and went for a major that she could realistically do well in and a career that wouldn't burn her out. Your job SHOULD NOT be your passion. That's what hobbies are for.

Also, no matter what job you do, even if you hate it at first, you will eventually get better at and therefore enjoy more. My major wasn't my passion and my job is, although meaningful, not my passion either. I like it this way. It makes me appreciate going home and doing the things I do like, and it prevents my job from consuming my entire life.

A friend in my group routinely annoys and pisses me off, but I can't ever attribute it to malice that's just not her general laziness and stupidity. I wish she was just being a self-centered bitch for me to be thinking so negatively about her, but she's just naturally an unaware dumbass and it would make me the bitch to give her shit for it but god if she doesn't fucking try me with her bullshit.

Just as an example a few days ago my group went on a roadtrip to the coast and I was the driver. About fifty minutes out of our way to our first destination a diff friend realizes she forgot something super important, enough where she was going to ask me to turn around to drive fifty minutes back just to get it but obv she was looking for a way to avoid that to not inconvenience me. Thankfully there was a specialty store that would surely have had the item she needed in it. Annoying friend volunteers to go inside and look while I keep the car running, the missing-item friend can't go in herself because she didn't have a mask and they're strictly enforced where we were.
Annoying friend waddles out of the store empty-handed after a few minutes stating that she only found one instance of the item in bulk and it was super expensive. Lmao bitch wat. No, no, no. I go in and not only do I find multiple instances of the item in bulk for cheaper than what she stated, but also an individual item that the other friend would have liked for dirt cheap. I bought an alternative because it was even cheaper and just required a little bit of critical thinking.
She's either blind, stupid, or just didn't look too hard because it's not like her ass had shit to lose besides being cozy in my backseat on her phone for an extra hour. Hate to be shitty but methinks she would've tried harder if she was the one driving. She pulls shit like this all the time, no one in our group can ask her for anything because it's either a miss or a half-measure and we wind up having to baby her a lot. She's burdensome and not fun but somehow everyone else finds this womanchild tolerable so I have no choice but to shut up and bear the minimum amount of times I have to interact with her.

Anon, trust me, there is nothing wrong with you like those people said. How fucked up do you have to be to willingly spend time with someone just to talk shit about them? They’ll never understand their hypocrisy because those kinds of people are still stuck in highschool. Just be glad they were so obvious about it so you found out then, imagine if you were walking down the aisle with those people as your bridesmaids. It’s just extremely unlucky you ended up with them because I guarantee most people wouldn’t say that kind of thing about you. You’re definitely not the problem in this situation. Don’t let those bastards get in your head.

You shouldn’t be upset they’re still friends because those kind of shitty people always stick together. That’s their kind. You don’t belong there, literally. As soon as you find new people, I’m sure you’ll completely forget about them. It just takes time.

Someone in my friend group is acting weirdly aggressive and cold towards me and I honestly don't know what I could have done to piss her off.

She's ESL so some of her humour comes off as a little rude sometimes, but at one point she straight up told me 'no one likes you :)' in the group chat. Like regardless of context, that's a fucked up thing to say to someone.

She also does this thing where she ignores what I'm saying unless she wants to insult me, like there was a situation where one friend was talking about how hard the semester was and she started sympathising and saying 'you deserve to rest, you did great, etc. etc.' I then agreed about how hard the semester was and she was completely silent. Then another friend said the same thing and of course she starts doing that same 'you did so well i love you i love you' thing. And after all those messages, I made a joke where I said I had a million assignments left to do and she said 'you don't have a million. you have three.' like I'm a fucking idiot who doesn't know how to count.

It's just so frustrating because I wish she would just TELL ME what her problem is!! I honestly don't know what I did wrong (or IF I did anything wrong) but it's such a sudden flip in her personality and I don't know why it's happening. She used to be really sweet to me so this is all just bumming me out.

i was abused emotionally and physically by my father for the better part of ten years, before i finally escaped. the older i get, the more strange question marks there are about the things i find especially triggering. i think about the therapist i had when i was 12 asking me very seriously if i had been sexually abused because of the behavior i was experiencing. i didn't and don't think so. but i can't stop wondering what I've repressed from the most psychotic part of my life, especially from various other men i let abuse me because i was used to that behavior. there's a lot of black holes in my memory. i don't want to uncover them. but i still wonder.

I have succeeded in the stereotypical sense of having a university degree and job, but I still feel so developmentally stunted. I don't know who I am and I'm ashamed of who I used to be.

I reopened my Xvideos account again after a year and a half of no porn. I feel mad at myself, i hate men that watch porn, but i tried my best last year to be a better person, make friends and date and it all failed, so i ended up friendless and alone again. It's not like i am a raging virgin because i couldn't find someone to fuck, but rather because men that have been interested in me were so disgusting. I have been feeling pretty numb since i stopped talking to my friends, i don't miss them, it just makes me sad because it made me realize i will probably never find real friends or a cute boyfriend. The only thing making me feel something is watching cute twink porn, a mix between being horny and sad because all the cute men are gay.

Why do men feel the need to comment on the fact that I look angry? One time when I was visiting family overseas, My aunt begged me to go with her to a friend of her's house 20 minutes before it was time for her to leave. I didn't want to but went because she really didn't seem to want to go alone. When I got there, a random man showed up in the living room we were sitting in and asked me why I looked miserable. For some reason I felt humiliated by his comment. People very frequently think I'm mad literally because my eyes and eyebrows make me look sad even when I'm the happiest person in the room. it's something that I'm conscious about and I make an effort to raise my eyebrows and smile often to avoid the misunderstanding. If I don't though, and I choose to be a normal person and relax the way everyone else can, I'm told to smile or I'm asked what's wrong. I get comments from girls, but mainly guys.

I'm technically an only child but I had an older half-sister who stayed in my life until I was 11 or 12 who treated me like she hated my guts. Mostly she was jealous because my mom treated me better than how her mom would treat her, and she was pissy cause I was younger and got more preferential treatment for the fact. My mom said she used to bang pots and pans when I was a cribbed baby in order to scare me and startle me into crying, but she also said her own mom put her up to being a nuisance like that. I remember her screaming at me to stay out of her room when I really just wanted to be around her and was curious about her possessions, she'd go into my room on days when I wasn't visiting my dad and trash my stuff and pretty sure she threw cat litter everywhere. She got a thrill off scaring the shit out of me and I remember thinking she was really mean.
She tried contacting me a few years ago on facebook but I didn't respond, mostly because I didn't get 'Why now?' after nearly two decades of nothing, not being around when my dad ditched me, and also because she worded things explicitly like my 12 year old ass wouldn't have remembered who she was or the bs she did to me lmao. Wishful thinking on her part probably.

Imo there's a lot of competitive sibling rivalry and families are more dysfunctional than what society would like to pretend otherwise. Doesn't seem like sibling hate really resolves itself until siblings become adults and can have their own lives and spaces, or sometimes it just doesn't. Depends on how bad.
Other siblings grow up in normal homes, or depend on each other in dysfunctional ones, so they have better relationships.

i've been volunteering w jail support groups (I'm in US for context). we sit outside the city jails and support people upon their release. my position is to drive people to their houses once they get out. the jails just kick them out at any time of day (during my shift, someone came out at 3:30 am). they don't know what to do, don't have any information about anything and most don't even know the area bc jails outside the capital have moved their prisoners to the capital bc covid related reasons? during my shift, this guy was going to hitchhike in the dark/rain for hours to get back to his house because he was moved from outside to perimeter to the city jail. this isn't uncommon.
i've heard horror stories from the people being released about what they've had to go through in these jails. the sanitary conditions, amount of people in there for no reason, people who don't want to leave bc they have no where else to go. it's fucking insane that this is how the system works.

thank you anon, my local organizers are amazing, im glad i found them.
another story/vent along the same line. this woman came out around dusk. she was arrested for heroin even though she she doesn't do heroin nor was there any on her. she just was with a friend who did (she does meth, but they don't know that). we led her to our team area and she told us that since she told girls in the jail that her lawyer was on hard drugs (heroin, ironically) he got pissed and manipulated her into pleading guilty. and she did, because she didn't know what to do and wanted to get tf out of there.

a lot of people, myself included, don't know how the prison system works or what to do bc a lot is dependent on the breaking of rules and moods of the COs and judges. i was arrested recently and since there were going to be an influx of protestors from the upcoming weekend, i and others only stayed a night so they could clear out the jail. but i've had friends stay multiple nights bc the jail would be empty. and i did worse than them. it's confusing on so many levels and the fucking prison staff themselves don't ever know what's going on or don't care to be consistent.

I feel like I'm really losing my mind. Have had depression since age 15, been on dozens of meds, went to a handful of therapists, nothing really works. And I've kind of come to terms with that over the years. I've always been an extreme introvert and a non-risk taker, but lately I get these bubbling compulsions inside to do something crazy and just say fuck it all and give up completely and see where I end up. I want to just roam but I can't do that as a small woman so I guess i'd have to get a gun. Of course this always devolves into thinking about winding up having to shoot some guy. And then maybe after him, some others for good measure. But only the assholes, though. And then I go to jail for the rest of my life, which doesn't sound too bad. People seem to not want to go to jail because they'll "miss out" on things they want to do in life, but there is nothing you can do in life that makes a difference when you're dead. And we all end up there eventually and it's no different if you were an esteemed author or a homeless addict with nothing to your name. So what's the point of running the rat race?

I really hate my best friends grandmother. I thankfully haven’t interacted with her more than 5 times in the nearly 7 years i’ve known my friend but every time we do it’s always awful. First time I met her freshmen year of high school she didn’t even say hi and was super cold and stand off ish and at one point asked how someone like me (ugly) managed to become friends with her stunning granddaughter. Another time my friend and I and our group at the time were hanging out at her house and everyone except myself left and her grandma comes into the room and says “ all your friends are so ugly” right in front of me. Every time I see her she either comments on my looks or completely ignores me. I have to see her soon and my anxiety is through the roof. Every time I see her my self esteem just plummets and my friend does nothing about it because she’s terrified of her grandmother. I don’t want to be rude to my friend but I really don’t know what to do.

I missed the period prior to that due to stress related to my mum being ill. I've also gained a bit of weight in lockdown.

Hope this is the appropriate thread.

I am really sick and tired of people o all social media platforms excusing Venus Angelic's suicide antics, whining, and just general shitty behavior. Sure she had a batshit controlling mother that 100% emotionally and financially abused her and maybe even off camera physically abused her as well. It's really not even just her. I've seen many celebrities and social media celebs use the old "I was abused uwu" card to get away with repeating shitty behavior.

Fucking hell abuse is not an excuse. Grow the fuck up, get the fuck out of your coddled echo chamber and take some goddamned accountability for your actions. "My therapist agrees with me". Bullshittington III. Therapists are their to listen and to guide your self thought into seeing why you behave such a way. They aren't there to asspat. Unless you say your simp fanclub is your therapist.

>the girl never had a chance

What in the limey fuck are you talking about? She had a better chance than the majority of people who grow up with abusive, controlling mothers. She had a YouTube channel where she was given money and promotions just for being cute on camera. A man married her and gave her a home with a caring family, which guaranteed a path to citizenship in a country she admired, and not because she was exceptionally intelligent, accomplished, or hot. People have liked her for just being herself. She had many opportunities granted to her that many others who worked twice as hard never ever, ever get.

She gave all that up for instant gratification and male validation because she's greedy and feels entitled to more than what she's actually earned. She's a bitch to the highest degree, it ought to disgust you, but maybe you feel ashamed because you relate to her actions. Maybe that's why you take offense and find it hurtful when people shame her, booger-nitpicking aside. She wouldn't have to worry about making a career out of her looks, like getting nitpicked for her low effort booger shows, had she not throw away the good life that was set up for her in order to be a camgirl. It's gross.

I just called in from work today for the first time ever in my life. I'm not even sick or anything I just, didn't feel like coming into work. everyone else at work is always calling in and I kind of got the feeling of missing out? they might ask why I called out, I'm just going to say it's because I'm off my thyroid medication and it's making me really tired, which is true. does that sound like a valid reason or a bad excuse?

Why compare suffering so much that this becomes the assumption. Oh, she's a lucky abused child, how dare she be fucked up. This logic is pretty sick. What a shock that someone who was taught to pose sexually for pedophiles by her own mother, since childhood, has been resorted to onlyfans. Her tragic life and mental state doesn't make grounds for calling her a bitch just because you think she's one of the ~lucky~ girls who were mentally/ physically abused since childhood.

I wish people would stop making flimsy false claims of sexual assault against celebs and youtubers. I hate seeing the 'innocent until proven guilty' phrase being chanted by other tubers covering the topic. Even female youtubers treating it like it's that black and white.

I've spent way too much time looking into different stats on how many sexual assaults actually result in a conviction, it's depressing as shit. Of course it leads to women keeping their assault a secret all of their lives. Innocent until proven guilty works great for crimes like murder but not so much rape. And there's a big difference between someone choosing twitter to very publicly announce a rape (and it being linked to a celeb) and what the average victim does.. which is maybe confide in a best friend or partner. I was assaulted as a child and I've only ever confided in two partners. I see people now repeating 'always innocent until proven guilty!' and I'm like nah that blanket statement is not it, imagine confiding in someone and getting that response?

I get that it's also a reaction to the whole 'I believe her' hashtag sounding like blind faith but going from one extreme to the other and saying no conviction equals no rape.. Wow I spent years in therapy over an assault that apparently doesn't count. I've had intimacy issues in all of my relationships over an assault that doesn't count. I've had panic attacks, prescriptions, had a diagnosis based on the trauma I carry from it and all over an assault that doesn't count? Only a conviction would make it count. There's no room for believing people outside of a conviction and that's a fair standard because a handful of women on twitter lied.

Other anon is right, it does sound valid. Also, my usual go to call out excuse is "personal/family reasons" because it's vague, but also private enough that most people won't pry since it's rude to.

OT but after I left my last job, I heard they redirected the call out line so it no longer went to an HR voicemail but instead would be redirected directly to a manager's cell phone so they would be able to pick up and grill you on why you're calling out (it's retail, so it's expected some people are faking but I feel bad for those who actually had a legitimate reason to call out).

I understand your point of view, but I feel like in reality it just doesn't usually work like that. I feel like the main thing that lead to the decrease in people getting radicalised by the alt right was most of the social media platforms banning people who spread that ideology, and now they are on the fringes of the internet mostly only talking to their own kind they have much less influence. I guess it's more the small chance of deradicalising a comparatively small group of already radicalised people through the off chance they see a normie post there that changes their worldview (which is unlikely because of the echo chamber these places tend to be) vs less normies being radicalised in the first place because they are less likely to come across these places, and I feel like the latter is probably more significant.

But not everyone is a radicalized alt-right incel. This kind of censorship and deplatforming is affecting those the most who are critical of leftist/liberal ideologies without identifying as altright or whatever. That is the group that is going to be the most affected, and they are the ones being pushed the MOST to radicalize and take on more toxic ideologies themselves.

I'm not saying that everyone is an alt right incel, I just used it as an example of deplatforming working.

You can't even explain how GC is far right while being about the belief we shouldn't be confined by traditional opressive gender roles and advocating for lesbian rights.

It's so odd how there's been tons of self-identified incel/misogynist murderers, but not a single radical feminist, misandrist or femcel murderer.
All that, and it's still the "free speech" (and even sexual expression) of the misogynists that's respected and encouraged, while women are called dangerous and bigoted for daring to not trust men with mental issues in women's shelters, being penis-repulsed, and wanting to discuss male violence.
Just look how this thread has "anons" seething about r/GC and calling it far-right, and insisting you must be fat and ugly if you think it was wrong for it to be banned (funny, because these are always the first people to shout about how cruel "TERFs" are for laughing at obese, ugly hons). Why don't they go to 4chan's /pol/ to call out actual hateful rhetoric and far-right extremism? It's almost like it's not actually about left or right with them, just women and what we have the right to say.

Plenty of alt right types never advocate explicitly for literal violence, but dehumanisation and targeting of marginalised groups on a large platform facilitates it, and is extremely harmful in itself.

Honestly I've experienced more racism in radfem/gc circles than practically anywhere else on the internet apart from maybe stormfront type places.

It's funny, because I see a lot of MtFs openly talk about how they "used to be" literal alt-right incels who hated women and non-white people. Many of them still do, but you only see it come out when they can either post about hating everyone who's not like them on /lgbt/, or when they go on Twitter to post disgusting shit like "Trans women are women the same way black women are women", "I have the right to call you a slur if you're a shitty person, so fuck you nigger", "If you're a black woman and don't support trans women, you're actually a self-hater. You're not considered a woman either FYI lol", "If you'll date a black woman, why won't you date me?", etc with not a single member of the trans community calling them out on their blatant racism. Seeing things like that was unironically the first thing that made me smell bullshit on the whole movement.
I don't get how they pretend to be against far-right politics when they're literally some of the most fucked up, hateful people I've ever seen. Literally the only reason they're not far-right is because it's not pro-trans, and that's probably also why they insist all GC women of being on the right.
I'll stop now because this kind of venting is better suited for the other site to avoid infighting, but it's all so annoying and hypocritical. It makes me sick.

I recently had a dream about a guy I hadn’t thought about in years and realized he was absolutely a predator. Googled him and found a tumblr page with a lot of evidence against him, he was harassing teenage girls online and in person for years. My friends and I were 17/18 and he was 24. He lived in another country but we all chatted on MSN and Facebook. He even visited us a few times (claimed he had family nearby but could have been staying at a hotel). He would buy us gifts and then try to use that as bribes to send him nudes. After a party we went to together he messaged me some pretty disgusting stuff about my outfit and what he wanted to do with me. I’ve felt so sick about it. He scrubbed all his social media and blog so I can’t help but think he’s still doing this just under a different name now.

I mean, I CAN masturbate, I just don't have the urge to most of the time. My sex drive in general is just very low to non-existent. I had a very high sex drive before I met my ex. I just worry it's never going to come back.

I can't even begin to explain how bad things were in that relationship. He controlled all of my finances, alienated me from my friends and family, and threatened to break up with me if I spent too much time away from him. He used sex to lure me into the relationship and then completely deprived me of it once there was virtually no chance of me leaving him. There's so much more, but it would take too long to explain it all and I don't even want to spend that much energy on him. It was hell and I've legitimately almost killed myself over it.

They banned a pretty small amount of subreddits. Almost all of them centred around misogynistic men. I didn't say almost all misogynistic subreddits got banned, but that of the ones that did almost all of them were misogynistic/male oriented. Your precious gendercritical subreddit getting deleted isn't an attack on womankind, it's an attack on terfs.

Racial preferences are all fine and dandy until women have them, only then is it considered racist. But it's not just race.

No offense but there isn't hope lol. Reddit has zero incentive to unban GC, their userbase is a drop in the bucket for them and if they did unban them people would notice and they would get a deluge of bad press. All Reddit seems to care about is sucking advertiser cock and trying to get the libshit media to stop associating them with muh internet hate. I do think people should speak out and complain in any way possible but it's not coming back.

Wow you really have zero reading comprehension. My 'main issue' isn't with radical feminists over any other transphobic people. It's literally all the same in my eyes I don't care. In the context of the conversation I was having with that person, they said

They may not be redfems but every woman outside of libfems mental illness is gender critical. Women do not like having men in places like women's bathrooms and changing rooms. They don't like having troon propaganda forced on their children either.

You were literally replying to >>577187. You're the one with shitty reading comprehension. When that anon said:

>normal people don't think men can be women
implying most people have TERF ideology even they don't know what it's called. Of course, you replied with how most people think radfems are "bitter insane man haters", missing the point entirely.

It's painfully obvious you have a hate boner for feminists, anon, don't try to backtrack.

Normal people, imo, know nothing about it (like I already said). That's not having TERF ideology. I don't have any kind of hatred for 'feminists', I am one. No one is backtracking on anything. You just have a persecution complex the same way all the radfem spergs do.

currently on the edge of a full blown panic attack and just trying to keep my mind from falling apart. no matter how much time i have to do anything it never seems to be enough time. i'm constantly tired and have no motivation or energy to be productive so im constantly stressed. i can take 200mg of adderall and still get NOTHING done. i have so much to do and the clock just keeps ticking. the walls are caving in ladies… the walls are caving in.

The majority of the world agree with TERFs that transpeople are delusional/wrong, even if they don’t give a fuck about RF.

And I personally don’t see dysphoric transpeople as mentally ill. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a TERF.

No. 577237

It's INSANE to me how badly the first 5 years of my life messed me up as a person.

I didn't go to daycare or preschool because it wasn't free and was too expensive and I only saw people once a week on saturday or sunday when my dad was off and could take us to see family that lived half an hour away. My mom didn't really talk to me as a kid and she didn't have a car to drive us anywhere. I only saw my dad at night when he got home from work. I had my older sister but she was gone at school half the day and when she got back home we would just watch tv together. I didn't get any socialization and to this day I suck at socializing. I can't even mention this to people without them laughing and asking why I'm holding onto this. I can't help that it's literally the truth that it messed me up. I actively make an effort to do better socially and yet my brain literally freezes up when trying to make conversation and I always assume no one cares to hear what I have to say.. The fact that I try and still fail makes me believe it's literally a part of me to be antisocial.

The majority of people know nothing about it, and have no real opinion. If you think that upon learning more about it they would agree with terfs that trans people are 'delusional wrong' then that's your opinion, but that's just speculation. I personally think the opposite, that as people learn more actual information about, they would be more accepting.

This is absolute delusion. Transactivism is a movement that heavily depends on peer pressure and silencing/deplatforming anyone who speaks against it. It has many legitimate similarities with cults and how they brainwash and isolate members. While many vulnerable people do get sucked into cults, the majority never will. The most charitable interpretation normies have of cutting off body parts and larping as the opposite sex is mental illness.

Also, nothing causes people to peak harder than 'learning more actual information'. In order to actually support transactivism, you have to selectively ignore most information out there including all the self incriminating things trannies themselves have to say (see - /r/itsafetish, /r/terfisaslur). There's a reason their biggest defense against evil terfs is telling people not to interact with them, because as soon as you do chances are you'll peak.

Yeah I just don't agree at all. The way you describe, and how you feel about 'transactivism' is how I feel about terf ideology. In my experience of people removed from this issue, they genuinely have no opinion or just say something like they 'accept/support' them or whatever. I have interacted with many, many terfs and never found it convincing in any way. Independently researching it and looking into the actual data behind this is what lead me to my current beliefs. I feel like as public awareness increases, so will public acceptance.

I just left a scathing review for a plumber who stole some brand new bathroom parts from us. There was not a single negative review (besides one complaint from 6+ years ago) and yet when we talked to people around town about this guy, they all fucking said he was a huge theif and would purposefully tamper people's things so that they'd hire him to fix it. An old employee of his says he witnessed him hammer a nail into an old woman's water pipe while he was roofing. She had to pay him $2400 for it to be repaired.
I'm so fucking angry that he never gets to face any consequences for his actions, so I'm leaving reviews wherever I can. Shit, might take up picketing outside his place. I want this creep's reputation to be ruined lmao.

not the anon but what actual data and evidence shows that transness has any concrete meaning though? genuinely want to hear it because i'm willing to change my mind (used to be super pro trans). like are you talking about transsexualism or self id? you have to understand that most people can stomach that people have gender dysphoria and transition to alleviate it (this doesn't work for everyone), but they do not actually believe that sex can be changed. normies dont think transwomen should be in female sports, even prisons. what studies negate the biology behind what terfs use in their arguments?

Most of the posts in the peak trans thread on GC were former allies who started to feel like things were wrong. You might be cool with it but you must have nerves of steel because most women don't like being told what they can and can't say or think.

I can see most people on GC being former allies, but that doesn't equal most allies will become GC, you know? Which is what I was saying.

>most women don't like being told what they can and can't say or think.

I don't feel this way because I was guilted into being quiet or something, or feel pressure from social media or whatever. Like I said I feel this way because after looking into extensively (beyond just imageboard/online bullshit) it's the logical conclusion.

>>577255
Sorry but I honestly hate when people ask to be spoonfed like this, like these are such loaded questions that would take a lot of time and effort to answer in a meaningful way.

I've not been posting about this since yesterday? You are mentally ill if you really think everyone who disagrees in someway is a man or one person. None of my posts have been more than a couple of sentences, it is much easier to talk back and forth with someone about one topic (GC being banned) than the effort it would take to answer >>577255 which literally asked about
-does transness have a concrete meaning
-transsexualism vs self ID
- trans women in sports
-trans women in prisons
Someone not wanting to write the literal essays it would take to meaningfully answer all that for free for a random stranger doesn't make them a troll.
