Is there any way for a really painless suicide? I just want to fall asleep and never wake up. I was thinking of getting on of those exit bags but after some news about suicide with helium they started to put some oxygen to the tanks.

That method never seemed painless, efficient, and it seems like it has a lot of margin of error.

Not gonna tell you how to kill yourself but I'll tell you that isn't the way, if there is even just a tiny leak or something you will feel immense panic, dread, and probably fear in your final moments assuming you don't instinctively pull the bag off your head.

I'm staying with my family in Poland for a week and I'm absolutely hating it. They treat my like some sort of spoilt idiot even through I'm doing an electrical engineering course and being generally not stupid or idiotic. Someone had gone through my luggage god knows why and they keep talking about how they are waiting for me to fail because I am not cut out for anything. They keep saying that I will never have kids and get cancer because thats what happens to 'girls like me', I have no idea what that means and it is really upsetting me.
Plus from some apparent reason the American military is here and they just got these fucking helicopters flying about fuck knows why, I'm worried about my friends that live here.

Who in their right mind would say that to a family member? You should leave early, being around them sounds detrimental to your mental health. Have they always been like this? I know family can be critical, but Jesus Christ, who says those kind of things. Stay strong, anon.

The Yank military is there to 'protect' the Polish from evul Russians because America is Poland's new butt buddy. Never mind that Russia couldn't give less of a fuck about Poland.

That's sort of true but nor really. Its the Polish 'rednecks' that are like that. My mum's family is super normal with all the girls in the family are doctors and such. I just think that they are really backwards in general, they are not like that to the rest of my female cousins through.

I really dislike one of my bfs friends.

We used to live with him and he started an actual fist fight with my boyfriend because he asked him to be quiet. I thought after this they'd fall out and I'd never have to see the guy again, but they made up and he carried on living there until the contract ended and they both moved back home. Now they hang out pretty much all the time. I'm away at uni and when I come back I can see the difference in my bf from hanging out with him. He already has a bit of a "common" accent, which I don't particularly like but I've never said anything because he speaks intelligently enough to make up for it and he's already somewhat self concious about it. But he's picking up more of an accent and starting to speak like him though, and keeps making these awful mistakes that make him sound like an idiot.

The friend is always stirring up drama in their group and my bf ends up having to mediate between him and another guy on an almost weekly basis because of stupid shit like falling out over a girl talking (Literally just talking. Nothing else.) to both of them at the same time.

They do the whole "Banter" thing, except this guy cannot take what he dishes out at all. The whole time we lived together I was at college trying to get into uni, and he used to shit on me for "having it easy" all day because I was only in three days a week. Meanwhile he works a dead end job in a supermarket and if I were to respond with anything on this level he would literally throw a tantrum and start breaking shit. because I got very slightly annoyed about this he did the whole "Oh can't take the banter can we?" Thing to me making out as if I'm the one who can't take a joke. They're not even jokes though, they're thinly veiled spiteful remarks borne out of jealousy.

Arghhhhh.

I'm going back to the states to visit my family for a month or two this summer. the original plan was to just take it easy and veg out at my parents home until I go back, but my boyfriend suddenly sprung it on me that him and his sister are planning on coming to my State to spend two weeks and wanted to know if it was okay to stay at my parents place. Of course my family is okay with it, but I am just kind of bummed that I have to do regular things. I've lived abroad for the past 2 years, so I never really got my permit upgraded to a license, so in three weeks I have to get back into the groove of driving and take the driving test to get my license. All while I am still doing my regular work from home (Its my vacation, I want to be lazy dammit!) For two weeks I have to go out and do all of this dumb tourist stuff and waste my money driving us around, eating out, and paying entry prices to a lot of overpriced attractions. They also want to go to some other city 4 hours away by car, but I don't have a car that I can use for a whole day or two, so we have to take that Amtrak and pay for a hotel. I also feel guilty because my hometown isn't particularly exciting, and even if we go to some fun attractions I am worried they will still be bored or feel like they should have just gone to New York or Los Angeles instead. Our house does have a pool, so maybe that will be a good excuse to just stay home and relax for a few days, since I couldn't find much to schedule to fill in the whole two weeks.

I have BDD and I'm constantly on the verge of killing myself because of it. I know that sounds like an overreaction, but just being in my body makes me suicidal. I can't look in mirrors, I can't look at myself naked, I can't wear bathing suits or shorts or almost any clothes, I can't even touch any part of my body without having a damn near heart attack.

I've been going to therapy since I was a child for semi-unrelated reasons but none of it helps. No medication helps, no dumb breathing exercises help, none of it helps.

I'm about to just kill myself and hope I get reincarnated into a body that I can live in without having a breakdown every day. Or I can just rot into nothingness forever, that's fine too.

Hello darkness my old friend - this is the eternal struggle of introverted hermits. Here are some suggestions.

You need to fill some of these activity days with less intense indoor activities that they still perceive as fun and creative. Board games, movie/tv marathons on your couch (with decadent junk food, a pillow fort, full laziness), cooking and baking new recipes together, barbeque on the lawn, read 50 shades out loud. Buy art supplies and paint or sculpt even if you don't know how - make fun of your creations, with music and snacks. Trying to paint each other might be hilarious. A park picnic, gaming event, theme party, roast marshmallows and watch spoopy videos, etc. Or something practical yet fun, like design and redecorate a room together, go shopping for new clothes with them (make a show as you try things on) AND host a garage sale to get rid of the old clutter. If you need to do tedious things like grocery shopping or washing and walking pets, do it with them so they see a lot of you. Fill these otherwise dull moments with conversation, photographs, joking between the 3 of you on social media so they won't forget it. You can find a lot more suggestions on the net from experienced introverts, I'm sure.

To really sell it, tell them you want to spend "quality, personal" time with them. Talking, getting to know them and JUST them - rather than dealing with crowds and long lines. To get out of something complicated complain "it's such a small town, everything's so far, I don't want to spend TOO much time on a bus," and suggest something better and family-oriented. Your activities can be relaxing, like a spa, nail salon, theater, laying on the beach all day. If all else fails, get them REALLY exhausted from your activities so all they want to do is relax. Also, drink coffee.

You can explain your feelings to your family and they'll be in on this, helping you entertain them. They probably want to keep you at home too.

I know this isn't an advice thread but I posted in the last vent thread about (accidentally) breaking my mom's expensive necklace during a fight. I finally saved up enough to buy her another one and it's coming in the mail right now, but I want to buy her some other stuff to make up for it.

I was thinking that I would give her the necklace, a piece of merch from her favorite show, a 'sorry' card, and flowers. Do you think that's enough for a good apology? Should I buy anything else?

No. 97404

I think she will appreciate enough that you feel enough remorse about the ordeal to replace the necklace. I think just giving her the necklace as a token and sincerely apologising in person would mean a lot to her.

I fucking hate that the hobby I invest the most time into is filled with shut ins and introverts and no one wants to leave their house to get a cup of coffee.

The only way I can interact with most knitters and crocheters my age is online through IRC or discord, and I brought up the topic of World Wide Knit in Public Day and asked if people were doing anything cool and most replies were pretty much "Nope, I'm a hermit, and I don't like the public :DD" like that's something to be proud of

I founded the one at my uni, and people ended up either dropping out due to lack of interest, "wah it's so hard" and left, stole supplies under the guise of "I'll finish it in my dorm", or just signed up for emails and never came to a meeting.

Big factor is that I was a commuter student so hours were limited. Even then when I tried making a later session, it was just maybe 1-2 people. I just kind of gave up on it because the amount of time I've put into social media/email promotions with very little turnout wasn't worth the headache anymore.

I ended up transferring my leadership to the leader of the unofficial DnD group because he knows how to knit and can now reserve rooms for his game nights in the student center without going though the absurd amount of paperwork needed for starting a club kek

I'm secretly really bitter about the fact that i've been single for the longest time in my life (since i got my first bf at 14), which is about 6 months by now (i'm 24 now). I feel empty and lonely all the time because i used to put so much of my own happiness in the hands of others (i.e guys that dumped me/cheated on me in the end anyway). I tell everyone, including my family, that i'm sick of dating, that i don't need anyone, that i'm gonna focus on rebuilding myself for the time being etc etc… But every night i cry-wank myself to sleep while the though of the perfect relationship with someone that loves me as much as i love them pierce through the remaning parts of my almost completely hollowed out heart. I'm anything but a NEET, i do stuff and go to work all day, i even met a cute guy though work that seems interested, but i know it's not gonna last so for the first time in my life i don't even give a fuck anymore. But deep down i know that the only thing that truly makes me happy is having intimate loving sex. I'm so fucking pathetic, i can't appreciate anything other in life than having sex with a hot dude, everything else feel like a fucking chore. I think i need to re-program my whole brain in order to become a normal happy person, but since o've also been depressed for years and years it's not gonna happen anytime soon.

my depression is killing me.
i stopped taking my Zoloft because i didn't feel like it was getting to the root of the problem. im positive i have bipolar disorder but haven't gotten around to setting up a doctor appointment to be evaluated. i feel like i could really benefit from a mood stabilizer paired with an anti depressant. but i just have no motivation.
my depression has put a strain on my relationship. ive been trying to find a job for a fucking year now. my boyfriend was supporting me but it got too expensive with me not being able to snag a job so i had to move back in with my parents may 24th. it's made things so fucking difficult since he's my bestfriend and i try not to take it personally because i saw this coming but i can't help but feel like he wants to be away from me and i feel so worthless that every interview i have results in disappointment and fuels my depression. it's not even that i don't have a good resume or experience idk what's wrong with me. ill be so confident that itll be the one and then they turn me down. if i don't get a job soon everything will fall apart. my relationship. my mental state. my life.
im always sad. i haven't seen my boyfriend for almost a week and it's been hell. and when we are together my depression is so fucking strong that im mostly unpleasant to be around. we don't have sex as often because i feel so ashamed and insecure with myself and when we do i can't enjoy like i used to. my boyfriend tries so hard and he loves me so much but nothing is working. it hurts him for me to always be so sad and pessimistic lately. he thinks i should go back on my medication but i really don't want to. what i need is to find a god damn job. all my problems will be solved when i have a job again. then i can set up an appointment and hopefully try another medication. but idk how much longer i can go on like this. im waiting to hear back from two places. but im learning not to get my hopes up. i just don't know what im going to do. i need a job… its all i want… i try so hard and get nowhere

I'm 21 now, and everyone around me is either sleeping with strangers every weekend or in a long term relationship. Meanwhile I'm on trulia looking up which trailer I'm going to spend the rest of my life in.

this kind of weird, short-sighted, defeatist attitude is probably what is turning some girls off from you tbqh. nearly every guy I know who has trouble with girls has this kind of attitude. my ex has this kind of attitude, and it's one of the reasons I broke up with him. it's really unattractive, and it makes you look incredibly lazy. "oh no I'm already 21 (even though that's barely an adult) I have my whole life ahead of me, but have zero ambition or at least short term goals, and zero interest in trying to figure some out." if you're not already doing alright for yourself (and if you were, you'd probably not be thinking this way anyway), this just signals to a girl to expect the relationship to be unchanging and mediocre.

You might not believe me, but I don't act that way at all in person. My life is pretty good, I'm going to college and have a decent amount of friends. The only friend I really talk to about this stuff is one close friend from childhood.
I just get lonely, and sometimes wish I had a gf to do all of that wishy washy crap with.
Though I wont lie, it also makes me feel shitty about myself being single for so long while most of my friends are dating left and right. Part of the reason is that I want to feel valuable again, and not like some kind of monster or creep.
I know validation is a bad reason to be in a relationship. Maybe I should buy the trailer after all.

I feel like this is pretty much how my bf thinks. Though he never really had trouble with girls and dating, he has this attitude about pretty much else in his life. He's going to college, but he is going to classes maybe once or twice a week, and he just doesn't seem to be able to get his ass up and finish his degree. He will probably need at least two additional semesters. He doesn't know what job he really wants to do, he hasn't had a job for over two years now, and aside from going to class once in a blue moon he is pretty much living the NEET style and playing video games all day long.
Sometimes I suspect he might have mild depression or other issues, and he has mentioned he wanted to get counseling, but he has yet to actually do anything. And I can't really help him there, if he's not willing to either change or get help (I suggested both and offered help in looking for options) there's nothing I can do.
I struggle with tendencies for depression and anxiety myself, and it's a constant battle to get out of bed, get my stuff done, do paperwork, study, write applications, job interviews… So I feel like him just doing nothing is somewhat "mocking" all the effort I put into my life. I'm doing my best to at least try, and somehow hold my life together; but all he does is nothing.

There's absolutely no ambition from him, outside of our romantic relationship. He is a great guy, gentle, understanding, romantic and so on, and I do love him. I really do. But that's not enough for a relationship. Especially since I leave college this year, and will probably either get a job or an additional apprenticeship in my degree-related field. Work full time, stress, bitchy co-workers, all the joys that come with work… All while he will continue his NEET style, at least that's what I suspect. I wanna move into my very own apartment, get a job, join the "real" world, and I feel like he's left behind.

So I'm waiting until I have my further career path confirmed, but honestly I feel like breakig up with him, because in the state we're in right now I see zero future. :/

Tbh, if he doesn't pull himself out of the NEET lifestyle soon he will be there for fucking ever. You seem like a level-headed young adult with a lot going on, and while breaking up with someone you love is shit, my guess is he's just going to bring you down in the future. Those kinds of relationships don't usually last in the long run anyway. I'm only speaking from personal experience (used to date a guy whom i found out had been a NEET for 10+ yrs), but all the red flags seem to be there. Long time NEETs often bring others down with them.

anon you quoted here.

that's a pretty similar situation with my ex. and it didn't work. I was trying to work out what to do after school, and how to get to where I want to be and he was continuing to complain about things in his power to fix (weight gain, living with his parents) without moving towards finding solutions. When the gf is the one with more ambition, you will inevitably end up playing mommy, and if you're the type to worry about being too nagging, then you start walking on eggshells and that isn't a good outcome for a relationship. I would say he was a good guy and everything, but his reaction to the breakup put me off, to say the least. The most I can do now is hope he does better for himself.

I broke it off with him, and my current bf is more put together. It's honestly great. I can pursue what I want/need to and I know I can take my eye off of him while I'm busier and know he'll be ok. Having someone who recognizes and supports your ambition is extremely motivating. If you have tendencies with depression and anxiety, a partner who isn't even trying to overcome the same is a detriment imo.

As that other anon said, a relationship should be an addition to your life. Not a subtraction. Don't let lazy bfs hold you back from being the best you can be.

Are you me, anons?

I'll preface this by saying that my bf is the sweetest, most caring, most patient, most clever person I've ever met. He's genuinely a great guy and his parents are just as wonderful.

But god fucking damn it he just keeps sabotaging his own attempts at getting ahead in life. He's 23 and still hasn't graduated high school, doesn't want to do anything in life, doesn't want to TRY to do anything that isn't piss easy, he can cook really well but he'd rather live on frozen pizza and macaroni casseroles for the rest of his life. His clothes look like shit, he just doesn't understand the concept of having to do something unpleasant for his own sake. He always complains that we're poor but when I ask him to help me make a meal plan for the week he rolls his eyes and acts like a spoilt teenage girl and looks at me like I'm Satan for dragging him away from his shitty Vsauce videos or video games. I moved to be with him but when I asked him to move with me so we could be together during my exchange year he didn't want to because 'I don't like it there' and 'my parents are here'.

Granted he'll do what I tell him but if I don't boss him around he'll just sit in one spot for a week. Sometimes I'm afraid he's gonna sprout roots in that chair.

My boyfriend has a friend of like idk like 1-2 years that he calls his sister,and it honestly gets on my fucking nerves. They aren't related in the slightest she doesn't talk to him unless he starts the conversation but for whatever reason they're SIBLINGS.
My boyfriend and I have known each other for 8 years and have been dating for 2. I've liked him for a really long time and our relationship is getting serious.
So he mentioned to his "sister" about proposing and he showed me the conversation during an argument and I fucking kid you not she's saying "wow ur moving p quickly" "are you really sure you want to marry her?" and hinting that I was fucking crazy because I have depression. He brings this up again and she's on about "well are you suuurreee" "but youre so young" (mind you she got married at 16)
And this "SIBLING" tried hooking him up with a friend of hers when he and I were already a year into our relationship that was long distance at the time

I've met her a few times irl and she didn't seem to care for me at all. He really wants us to be ~best budz~ but I honestly just want her to fuck right off

>Long time NEETs often bring others down with them.
So far I am doing okay, and sometimes his bad example even motivates me tbh. But he does drag me down a lot, and more and more I find excuses why not to see him. The thought of visiting him in his appartment, which almost always is a mess (dirty dishes, clothes everyhwere, leftover food or packaging everywhere), and having to talk about his newest vidya adventures is just depressing. Especially because he could have soooo much more to offer, he knows so much about sience, unlike me he really keeps up with global news and politics, I can have a good discussion with him. But honestly his day is at least 70% video games and internet and so are his talks.

>>97918
He had ambitions, I think. At least enough to get away from his weird, toxic family and move into an own appartment. He also used to have jobs a few years ago. But now, nothing. No money, no ob, and his parents keep paying for all his expenses. And to me the worst thing is, he doesn't even seem to be very bothered by this.
I currently have to live with my parents, and until I can start full time work there is no way to move out. I absolutely hate this situation, but at least I can work part time to save up some money or go out once in a while. If we ever go out, almost always we either pay sepreately or I pay simply because he usually cannot afford to invite me. He would if he had the money, but he has no ambitions to work for his money.

>>97941

Maybe, for you two, taking a break might help. Not an outright breakup straightaway since you guys seem to care for these losers. Take a couple weeks off from contacting them and focus on yourselves for a bit. Consider your life and future, and how you feel during that time. Sometimes it's hard to take a necessary objective view of your situation while in the thick of it.

If you feel lighter and more positive and maybe happier when not having to deal with a loser NEET bf holding you back, maybe that's when you should really consider calling it quits.

It's also possible that during this time the bf will do some introspection himself and maybe recognize his issues and want to make a change

I am horribly, horribly bipolar. I've been in and out of hospital on a monthly basis since I got diagnosed last year. I gained 70lbs thanks to the depression and the medication. I'm on ten medications that I take every day - multiple mood stabilizers and antipsychotics.

Two weeks ago they stopped working and I've been in and out of mania and psychosis ever since.

My husband and I are doing everything we can to keep me out of the hospital and my psychiatrist is trying to adjust my meds while keeping me home but it's just so dangerous. If something happens and I'm alone so much could go wrong.

My husband can't take any more time off work to take care of me.

I would just bite the bullet and go to the hospital but it's Friday so I wouldn't see a doctor until Monday, plus my husband can watch over me over the weekend. I'm also afraid of being formed/baker acted/sectioned and not being able to go outside for a smoke or a coffee (they won't accompany you).

I'm just frightened I'm going to go psychotic again and there will be nobody here and I'll try and do my new favorite psychotic "thing" which is running away from home, and totally not paying attention to incoming traffic.

My life is utter shit and has been for a year and nothing is getting better. This illness has taken everything from me.

I went to a restaurant with my classmates as an end-of-school thing. Held my dad up for 40 minutes waiting to drive me home while he called and called because I couldn't just say the words "I have to go" whilst watching how everyone else was having fun and talking to each other. When I did leave he was understandably furious because he's been fasting and was ~10 minutes late to break his fast. I still didn't get into the group picture.

I've been wanting to move out but he just won't let me because of his traditions. My brother got begged to move out for being a nuisance, if I'm a nuisance too, like I was just now, maybe he'll finally let me actually do what I fucking want.

Whether that's going into college and staying in a dorm, getting a job so you can eventually move out, or just joining the military it's about time for you to get out on your own and stop making it so you have to depend on your dad. If you're a legal adult he can't make you do anything unless you aren't able to financially support yourself or if there's some crazy law in the country you're in.

Yes my dad is Muslim.
He will hate me if/when I move out, for bringing "shame" onto him, disobeying the rules and embarrassing him in front of his Muslim friends.
I've told him this is England, that he should adapt, but he stands by his traditions and rules. My (non religious) mum says she's won him round for things he responded to like this by just doing it and showing him that there's a good side.

At times this all just makes me feel powerless, wanting to sit in my room all day wasting time. I don't want to have to get married to some Muslim guy my dad picked out in order to leave the house (I'm not allowed to move out because girls can't stay away from home at night says dad).

This is a really, really stupid plan. You're eighteen with no income, so you will never be able to get a bank loan big enough to cover this shit. Not to mention you'd be in crippling debt that you'd have to pay back immediately after you left uni. If you don't know this already you've clearly been sheltered as fuck and living on your own is going to be really fucking hard.


This is a viable option for you - Run away from home. Apply for student finance like everyone else, but you claim to be estranged from your parents. But there are a couple of things to bear in mind if you do this; You do not speak to either of your parents AT ALL, EVER for anything as far as student finance are concerned. You can give them disowning you for wanting to pursue your education as a reason, and it's likely no one will question it. They will try and trick you by asking if you have any contact with any of your parents, and you need to say no.

If you go this route you'll get the most money, and you'll have to repay less (They change the proportion of loan to grant depending on your circumstances) You'll also get support and help in other areas. But if you start speaking to your parents again, it's fraud and obviously that has massive consequences.

Her family is fucked up and she's sheltered, but that's an equally stupid plan anon. You can't go from totally smothered to not talking to your family at all (if she did that she would essentially be dead to her dad's side of the family as well), that's not sustainable. I am speaking from experience – You can't become totally independent and Westernized overnight, that's unrealistic and setting yourself up for failure.

If you can, original anon, do things that give you a sense of confidence, discipline, and independence. If you can get a job, that's ideal, but if you can't, throw yourself into your school work and social life, anything that will get you out of the house. Accept rides from friends, be involved in extracurriculars, etc. Anything that will get you to not obsess over your father's smothering.

This is how most people learn to be self sufficient and independent, by moving away from home to go to uni. It's not that big of a leap and there's tons of support available for people in her situation.

If she wants to go to uni she had to apply for a loan from student finance. That is the only way to do it in the UK. If she wants student finance, her parents will have to agree to back her claim and submit all of their financial information. If they do not do this, her application will be denied. The only way to be granted student finance without your parents backing is to have been self sufficient with proof of it for at least three years. (Payslips, jobseekers entitlement letters etc. For every single day) Unless you are estranged from your parents. If she wants to go to uni, has two options; convincing her parents or estranging them. Otherwise she wont be able to finance it.

She's eighteen so she's finished school. (It's not even high school, it's college in the UK) so IDK what you're talking about extracurriculars for. We don't even really have them here anyway.

I'm saying this as someone who had the opportunity to go to uni at eighteen taken away from them. Getting in when you're older is so much fucking hassle. Your college qualifications stop counting, so you have to redo college if you leave it too late. It's not free once you're over eighteen, you can't get government help or finance unless you're over 24. Not to mention that you're somewhat isolated from your peers because of the age gap. Don't let other people ruin your dreams.

There's electives though, and depending on where in the UK she lives she may be used to a completely different system than the one you're thinking of because to a lot of people apparently UK = England and friends.

I'm from NI and sometimes I don't get what the fuck half of my friends from England are on about because things are implemented differently in the North. Afaik the Scottish system is completely different from the rest of the UK. There's also multiple different paths she could've taken since not everybody goes to college.

That's true enough, but all the student finance stuff is the same regardless of country. UCAS is what changes depending on the country. The hassle still increases exponentially the older you get though, that's true of everywhere.

And let's be real, there are more people in London than there are in Scotland, and we know she's brown. 9/10 chance she's in England, somewhere in the south.

>Fwiw I had extracurriculars and took Gaeilge in primary school, so it's not set in stone or anything.

I think this is the girl in the uni thread on /g/ and it sounds like she has already been accepted to uni, and just wants to move out of her parent's home for it. Maybe live on campus or somewhere nearby instead of commuting.

The uni is in the same town she lives in already so it makes sense for parents to just want their kid to stay home. It's cheaper that way too.

Anyway, running away from home and estranging yourself is a fucking awful idea given 1) how sheltered you are and 2) how unbudgingly religious your dad is. This will just reaffirm his traditions and make it even harder for him to move towards becoming Westernized. Your mother has good advice, do it, but do it positively to show him the good side. Running away will paint the whole thing as a big fat negative, and you won't ever recover that relationship, at least for a very long time. That other anon had good advice with looking for all-female housing, no-alcohol housing, all-Muslim housing etc.

I don't know how uni in the UK works, but if student groups are a thing try looking for a Muslim one or a female Muslim one and reach out to them for advice. I'm sure someone in that group will have a relatable experience.

Good luck anon

Finance and uni are completely different things here. You're accepted or rejected way before the university knows whether you've been approved for loans and whatnot. Just because she's been accepted already doesn't mean she's applied for student loans yet.

>he uni is in the same town she lives in already so it makes sense for parents to just want their kid to stay home. It's cheaper that way too.


It's actually not. You get more loans and less grants (Grants are completely free) if you stay at home. Staying at home for uni is just postponing the cost by giving yourself more future debt and robbing yourself of valuable life experience, which she needs because she's sheltered. The solution to becoming unsheltered is not hiding away, it's dropping yourself in at the deep end. Uni is basically your last chance in life to fuck up without it having any real consequences, it's your last chance to make mistakes and learn from them.

Universities in the UK only really offer places in halls (on campus accomodation) for first years, unless you have extreme circumstances or are somehow active in the community (Depends on the university and the halls in question for this though) So she's also throwing away her only chance of getting easy, cheap housing hassle free, with stipulations like no alcohol, all female, only muslims etc. Not gonna happen in second and third year, and she's probably going to be stuck living at home if she chooses to in first year because 99% of the time people live with their first year flatmates.

Honestly her family and her dad sound shit. Why would you want a relationship with someone who thinks you deserve less rights because of your sex? Because you share some DNA? It's fucking stupid and it shouldn't stop you from cutting toxic people out of your life. Family isn't that important. If more people disowned their shitty families instead of clinging to horrible people, people would be happier. Realistically her dad isn't going to change, people who grow up in cultures where they're taught that certain people are inferior rarely ever unlearn it. If they did, we wouldn't be plagued by racist, sexist, homophobic old people.

Dear Landlords,

Please give us a break.
I'll admit trying to live in one of the more expensive places in the state fresh out of college is pricey. I understand the dickings that come from choosing that sort of area and convenience, gladly. Why do you need a $3000 deposit? Why can't we do first month and a half, or two months? God damn.
It's just hard saving up at this point. Actually, no it isn't.
I am not good with money. I bring home probably 1200 a month. That could cover rent in its entirety and my boyfriend could cover food and cigarettes and our vice bullshit we need to cut back on. We could live here, but the deposit will set us back so hard I'm scratching my head.

I know I just need to work harder. Or sign up for affordable housing. I'm reluctant to sign up for food stamps but it would help. I don't want to because we buy cigarettes and weed and could easily afford it if we didn't.

Most apartments within the price range (under $1000/mo) where I live ask for first month's rent, last month's rent, and a deposit equal to a month of rent… so fucking 3 months of rent before I can sign a lease. If they accept us on all other grounds, I still need $3000 dollars.

I have a credit score above 600, but the third party companies that do the work for the private property management companies want a score of at least 720 OR a co-signer..

Also, application fees can range from $20 to $35, and they're non-refundable, and you need to also pay that amount for your co-signer application.
So my boyfriend and I would, in most cases in the city, have to pay an additional $100 on top of the deposit of more than $2500. 3 months of rent just to get into a shitty building.

We've found some other places, it's just harder to find, some aren't as close to our places of work. I'm still confident we'll find something but I'd like to just get the hell out now.

Just swallow your pride and sign up for food stamps for a while. It's not a death sentence and it doesn't mean you're a leech, but they make life so much easier while you get back on your feet after all those expenses. You don't want to get into an accident and be screwed, or dip into savings, just for rent. Food stamps are like a seat belt, that's what they're there for. :)

Same here anon. I'd probably be best for you to work on that before trying to get another gf. I've got a(n internet) bf and it's made pretty much every insecurity I've had at least 10 times worse. He makes me the happiest I've ever been in my life, but at the same I felt the worst I've ever felt towards my body and can't go a day without thinking about how much better off he'd be with someone else. I can't fix myself until I'm 21 though (when silicone implants become available) so maybe you might have better luck. I know losing weight will help you a ton, it definitely did for me. It does take a while though I felt just as fat and disgusting the whole way through until I got really close to my goal, but other than then the psychological benefits it's been proven to help with depression. Also ignore any robot shitposters like >>98466.

I want someone in my life, I'm lonely, I want affection but at the same time I don't wanna fuck someone's life up at the same time. I just want to feel happy, debt free and healthy but guess it's not happening soon. I've been naturally depressed since forever but poverty and working non stop without any fun is killing me lately, I keep waking up at night screaming like a madman, cry out of nowhere, keep binge drinking shitty cheap booze with anti depressants. I can't handle this anymore, I'm fucking going insane and there no one and nothing to save me, not even myself.

Today was my first day at work and I could've sworn I heard my boss talking shit behind my back.

Once she didn't see me come in and asked another girl 'So what is that Anon like?' and not two hours later a coworker introduced himself to me and as I was leaving he asked her something about me, she said something (I was already out the door so couldn't hear well) and he was like 'aww don't be like that'.

I'm on a peak hour train, it's raining buckets, and I'm so fucking angry right now.

We're all wet as it is but would it be so hard just to stay back and shake it off, or shake it to the side? And this dumb old bitch was blocking the door which is only as wide as one person, and she had the fuckin gall to look bashful about it. Then get off the fucking tram and come back on instead of holding EVERYONE up?? Next we have autismo man, likely a robot of some kind, who kept throwing me looks because the tram is packed like a tin of sardines and I'm invading his precious personal space. :'( Boo fucking hoo, if you care about your personal space, don't fucking take public transport, and don't take it at peak hour on a rainy day? He's even got white hairs, life must be so difficult for your stinky ass. This isn't even my worst experience with public transport but everyone is soaking wet and we want to go home, show some consideration.

Something's wrong with my cat. Something seems to be stuck in his throat or he has an infection etc. His breathing seems fine, he just gags if he lowers his head to eat or someone touches his throat. But he looks so done and tired.
I literally have to beg my parents to take him to the vet but both are saying to just wait it out. If he was a dog we would've already gone yesterday, but no "it's just a cat".
It's my birthday next Sunday and I guess I'll ask them to take him to the vet as a "gift" for me. My mother said she might gift me eyelash extensions or some shit that costs around 500, which could cover all or half of the expenses, depending on what's wrong. I know she would be pissed as fuck because she doesn't like animals. I also still have some savings left after losing my job.

I miss early Tumblr - like 2010/11/12 Tumblr. It was before everyone and their mother cared about social justice, before fatties invaded, and before all of this demigender foxkin whatever was created.

There were "quality blogs" that were filled with blog rates and where the (old) "Tumblr girl" stereotype came from and everyone had a icon like pic related. Then there were One Direction and "Superwholock" blogs but I wasn't really into that.

My friends I have known for years have turned into SJW fictionkin and fakebois and it's so bizarre to see.

I'm legit considering ending a friendship or two.

I don't get along with someone my friend likes to hang with. This person has said some really mean shit to me and my friend has gone completely blind to it. She thinks it's all me and is mad I won't say much when this person is around. I won't say much or remove myself from the conversation because the person in question likes to stir shit all the time. If I try to stand up for myself in any way it becomes a huge issue and i get sick of it.
Now my friend is calling me a liar because I won't give her the answers she wants. She is legit pissed that I was watching youtube on my tv while she was in a call with my sister yet none of them bothered to ask me to turn it down which I gladly would have. She thinks I was only doing that cause that person I hate was in the call as well which of course wasn't true but she can't believe me for some damn reason. Later she messaged me randomly about it long after it happened and then started accusing me of shit when i gave her a straight answer.
My friend started messaging me about why i don't like said person and sent people to ask why to basically see if i would shit talk which of course i didn't.

When i finally got fed up and broke down from all the questioning i end up getting told i'm always lying or something which…idk where she got that from since i really haven't lied. My friend also told me i had multiple personalities and to get help(i don't have it). When i said i don't she went all "it's ok no need to be ashamed. You just need help" all because i broke down and felt like trash from all the questioning and lack of understanding on her part.

I went to Uni in the city and commuted to and from my apartment throughout the 4 yrs, so never dormed. Until now that is. It's awkward as fuck.

So the suite I'm staying in has 2 rooms, with 2 people per room. My roommate never arrived so I'm by myself which I enjoy, since I tend to go crazy about other peoples needs and will do something like staying awake till 3 am if you need someone to talk to and getting up at 5 am for my own responsibilities.

Anyway, thats not the point. I don't like to socialize all day, it sucks the energy out of me. Despite that, I feel incredibly guilty for not wanting to go out and enjoy the city while I'm here (till August). I don't want to spend money though and I didn't bring any partying clothes or a lot of outfits to hang out in, so I also feel self conscious. Granted, I know I'm not the only one, but I can only speak for how I'm feeling.

I'm a huge introvert and also get anxious about how people perceive me, so eventually I feel like I run out of "interesting" things to talk about, namely things I've done or people I'm involved with (including friendships) because I don't go out much and I don't have friends, just acquaintances for that very reason.

Idk, people seem to really like me at first and then it's like they regret it because i'm too quiet, which is the opposite of what I'm like on the first day we meet.

I've been thinking of just being really subdued at first, how I used to be, but I recall changing because people thought I didn't like them and missed out on chances to make friends.

Yesterday I met a black girl that called every latino guy she saw Jorge and it really rubbed me the wrong way. I think its because she was serious and not trying to be funny, basically purposely discriminating. I wanted to tell her she'd lose her shit if someone went "Ok Tyrone" whenever they saw a black person that wasn't walking fast enough because they were walking hand in hand with their toddler aged child. I stayed quiet though because I didn't want to have that conversation with her.

Right now I have a retail job but it is only part time, and obvioulsy it's not the work I want to continue to do. But I already asked around with family/friends, but no one wants to employ a drop out student of course. And I already have a shitty part time job, so there's no need to try another low entry retail/barista job.

Most appentriceships start July/August, so I don't think I'm lucky enough this year. But next year I'll be 23, who wants to take me then? How can I spend one year until I try again when all I can do in the meantime is shitty low entry jobs? Idk if any of these places where I applied would accept me as an intern. And even then, idk if anyone would want to give me the apprenticeship next year.
And I don't really want to go back to university. I really don't I hated it so much and it makes me so miserable every single day I had to go to classes.

I work shitty low entry jobs. I still have to live at home, because a part time job will never pay enough to move out. I don't have a degree, and I can't even get an apprenticeship despite my good grades.
All I want is a job, a small place of my own to live and just a tiny bit of my own space in this world. But despite all I'm trying, it seems i will be stuck at home with a shitty job, no money, no future, absolutely nothing.

I've been emotionally scarred by this thing that happened over a week ago. A douchebag in his car in front of ours hit a tiny kitten on the head with his wheels and when I turned back to see it, it was spazzing and flouncing and flopping around in the most horrifying, anatomy-defying way possible, like a fish out of water. I can't stop replaying the memory in my head and I've had nightmares.

I know that everyone has differing issues on trans topics but I need to rant about this, I'm not looking for an argument.

I'm so frustrated seeing the people around me say that they're trans just because they don't fit into gender roles or they want to get sjw brownie points. And the fact that stories of "trans" kids on puberty blockers and other hormones are becoming all too common.

I believe that trans people do exist but it's a very small amount and they're genuinely mentally ill and should have to have therapy before they take hormones. I also believe that there's a lot more gender non-conforming people out there than people think, either because they're calling themselves trans or they give into the pressure to fit into gender roles. I wish being gender non-conforming was seen as normal and acceptable and that people wouldn't tell gnc people that they'll eventually be feminine/masculine or that they're automatically trans. Also, people illegally obtaining hormones makes me sick because there's so many risks that people don't realize.

I've always been very androgynous and actually thought I was trans a few times because the people around me (including my therapist!) tried to convince me I was. Like fuck off, I'm just not feminine - I never have been and I probably never will be.

Have you posted this before? I remember some anon saying similar things but I cannot remember where.
If you get all existential and stuff you could always argue that nothing we ever do or think abut matters. Each one of us is just a tiny, tiny ball of atoms in a universe so giant and a timeline so endless that it's impossible to comprehend. Last year I went to a planetarium, and the more they zoomed out erth, our solar system and even the galaxies all I could feel was an overwhelming sense of nothingness.

Agreed. Not trying to turn it into that but it's worth noting that when you compare the US to countries outside of Western Europe, the conditions for naturalization are actually comparatively quite lenient.

In my case, I'm a little more pissed about the "proving legitimate marriage" thing because its a legal system of xenophobia, nothing more, nothing less.

Its not a coincidence that no one seems to care and make accusations of ANCHOR BABY when their immigrant spouse happens to be white and from Europe or Australia.

And then there's Trump who has not cleared up whether he would want to turn our baby into a stateless person which would mean our child has essentially no protected rights. The only thing he's answered that question with is just an implication that he wouldn't separate families because the spouses and children would be deported, too.

I understand why we have to have an immigration process and why not every unskilled person ever can just settle down here.

I know this is mostly my fault. But I've only had 3 bfs in my life, the first one broke up with me, I broke up with the second one, and third one is current.

If I find the logic in things I can usually recover well, so my first bf and I are friends now and talk occasionally. I understand why we broke up, in that our needs at the time were vastly different, and blah blah. We're also both in other relationships so it's nbd.

My second bf was really broken up about breaking up, and I've tried to explain it to him as best as I could (essentially saw the relationship going no where and lost the feelings for him, as well as fundamental differences in life philosophies). It's been a good while since the break up and I keep wanting to be "be friends" similar to how first ex-bf and I are. I'm completely over him (hence current bf), and he says he's over me now. But he's so smarmy and bitter about it (I guess I shouldn't be surprised) and I keep hoping if I contact him in another few months the bitterness would fade, but it doesn't. I know I should just stop trying to talk to him, but I keep wanting to explain it logically but he keeps making me out to be irrational and crazy when I know that I'm not. I think that bothers me the most. He's been so broken up about it that he has to rationalize my behavior as mean and crazy to make himself feel better and that bothers the fuck outta me. Like, I browse lolcow and /cow/, I did so whilst in the relationship with him and shared the drama, and he has only ever laughed with me. But now he tries to take a moral high ground about it all. And put me down because of it.

It's weird but ever since I was 10 years old, I have a breakdown every two years. Nothing will trigger it, I'll just have a complete mental breakdown and I think I had it today.

I'm just lying in bed right now, exhausted and sad and thinking about how crazy I am. I went for a run earlier to try and avoid (?) it but it didn't really work and I started crying near the end. In addition to that, when I came home and checked my texts, a friend of mine sent me some messages teasing me about obsessed I am with a certain thing.

I know it was just banter but it hurt like my mental illness causes me to get weirdly fixated on things as a sort of coping mechanism and I'm insecure enough about it already.

Bleh.

Anon, you're not crazy, and don't let people tease you for your coping mechanisms. If they help you get by, there's nothing wrong with that. Are you seeing a therapist? I think it could help to find out why you're having these breakdowns, and how to cope with them. Hope you feel better soon.

I think my crotch sweat just cost me a job. I went in with confidence, the questions were rather dumb and I'm somewhat new at the job market so I wasn't sure how to answer. I probably sounded like an idiot since I don't speak my native language well. Anyway:
> Started to sweat so hard during the interview I felt the sweat sliding down my back
> My face was wet, nothing to wipe it off
> Interview was over, I stood up and saw all the sweat on the table that I was leaning on, decided to ignore it
> Got out of the room and sat on a chair outside
> Noticed two sweatspots on my crotch, became horrified
> Felt my butt - it was wet

I can't stand people who make a single physical trait their whole personality. I'm sick of seeing mixed girls with 'mixed' in their insta usernames who post nothing but selfies with dumb one-word captions thinking it makes them look cool. They all act the same yet act special for being mixed. Same goes for gay people super obsessed about 'gay culture', some mentally ill girls, trannies whose entire lives revolve around their gender, some natural redheads and people with small country syndrome like the Irish. I'm from Ireland and I fucking hate it when I go abroad (usually US and Aus) and see a gaggle of fuckwits who won't shut up about being Oirish, amping up the accent and trying to act cute so people would lick their arse. And yeah, yanks love that shit, but these retards even do it in mainland Europe (like just recently at the Euro) even though most of the time they're either met with confused looks or a collective stink eye because the locals usually think they're Brits.

My family is afraid that I will end up like my uncle who moved out of here to study, now has a huge dept and started a new life in Spain and still pays it off .
Another thing is that people from my old school spread lies about me (they don't like me because I was a nerd in school and an outcast) and I can't do anything about it. The worst rumor was that I am pregnant. I feel like I have a bad reputation without even doing anything. Now it's better but I feel like I will become an outcast again because of these people..

My almost 5 year old neice had a meltdown today when I told her that she had to wipe her own poopy butt. I genuinely think the kid did a bad job of wiping on purpose, so I would feel bad and clean her instead. I had a crying baby in my arms the entire time too. Massages forehead The kid will be 5 soon, and her parents and my parents still wipe her butt for her. I am the only one who thinks she's too old for that? For god's sake, her preschool requires children to be completely potty trained before they can attend, and she's told me multiple times the teachers make her go by herself. I google searched what at age children should wipe themselves, and 90% of it said most kids don't need help by age 4. Her mother was visibly irritated that I made her do it herself. I really get the feeling my sister will keep wiping the kid as long as she cries about.

I am completely empty of inspiration and happiness/joy. I get bored with everything i do, no matter how motivated i stay or how much i force myself to continue doing it. I am consistent in pursuing my interests, trying to get joy from that, which obviously doesn't work and feels mediocre at best. I've had constant existential crisises throughout my life, drugs makes it worse. Right now i'm just numb or sad all the time. Everything feels pointless and materialistic, like the human world is just made up of a bunch of meaningless moral rules that only serves to keep people in a happy imaginary world, that to me feels like living in a fucking mobile game or something… I recently read Brave new world, and it describes everything i feel about the world/my life today. Life feels like playing The Sims, but you have to play 24/7, and only get to play Sims 2 with one single expansion-pack for hours on end.
I try to create, it brings me nothing. I try to run, go skate with my inlines, hang out with friends, family etc… It brings me nothing. Computer games, watching a new tv-series, eating ice cream and masturbating, it's all so damn fucking boring. My meds (ADD and depression) at least keeps me from being completely suicidal…

people that devalue this kind of work as requiring "no skills" and an "easy" kind of labor are annoying as fuck.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_labor

"There is empirical evidence that higher levels of emotional labor demands are not uniformly rewarded with higher wages. Rather, the reward is dependent on the level of general cognitive demands required by the job. That is, occupations with high cognitive demands evidence wage returns with increasing emotional labor demands; whereas occupations low in cognitive demands evidence a wage "penalty" with increasing emotional labor demands.[30]"

This is about to sound like the lamest thing in the world, but I've learned the professor I did my undergrad research with has either blocked me or has hidden me on his Facebook. I'm not sure which.

He posted a status about thanking friends for birthday wishes and I commented with a "Happy birthday, Dr. insert name here!" and it immediately disappeared. I know I shouldn't feel as bummed out as I am, but we were relatively close until about the end of last summer. Like, he helped me through my depression and was the one who suggested I go to the school counseling services to get help, we would get coffee and chat, drank outside of school together along with other professors, and I was even welcomed to join him and his wife at Thanksgiving with my boyfriend at the time if we were in town. But I guess I did something to set him off (still don't know what, btw. I apologized for a slew of things that I thought might've been it, but I guess none of them were) and he kicked me out of research my final semester and said that I would end it by training someone else on what needed to be done (who, spoilers, ended up having no time to do anything while I would have–which meant no research happened for him that semester since his other student was too busy, as well… but oh well) and we started to flat out ignore me any time we passed in the hallway or on campus and would only begrudgingly acknowledge me if I was hanging out with other students that he liked… he didn't even congratulate me on graduating like the rest of the department did.

I'm just… How do people do things like that? Just essentially erase someone out of their lives like that?

Tbh that emotional intimacy sounds a little close for a colleague you do research with.

And, really, even if you guys never went full on romantic, perhaps the fact that he went that extra mile with you was predatory in nature OR he was afraid it would be perceived as such.

In either of those cases, he would distance himself and try to get you away from him before his supervisors are asking anymore funny questions, which they may have already been doing to an extent.

Something about his particularly grudgy ways and dickishness kind of feels like he wanted it to go somewhere it didn't, felt threatened because of it, and then decided to resent you over it.

Why don't you talk about it with the teacher?

Especially if you tell them about it beforehand. I had to drag a 30min oral exam out for 2-3 hours once because i stutter, act nervous and become so distracted by my inability to function like a normal human being that i am unable to find words and form sentences and sit in silence for minutes at a time. But since i told the teacher that i have social anxiety and severe untreated ADD he was very understanding and patient.

I've been doing somewhat okay lately but got literally destroyed today.

>only guy in my department at work

>usually try to be friendly and make small talk with the girls
>washing my face in the bathroom after lunch break
>overheard some girls talking about me
>"I wish they replace this creep with a hottie"
>"god he's so fucking ugly"
>"hope he gets fired"
>usually used to this kind of shit but something broke inside me
>get through the day like a zombie
>buy two bottles of whiskey while coming home
>load my shotgun and put it beside me
>now waiting for alcohol to kick in so I won't pussy out

then I realized nothing will ever get better, I'm a 27 year old genetic dead end with a shit job and neck deep in debt, never gonna be able to enjoy life, too ugly to experience romance, too poor to see the world, living in a shithole country with 0 future and will probably be in a civil war in couple of years. I missed out on everything good on life and will never be able to catch up.

I don't have many people to talk to either. Not that I actually like making friends irl though. That's why I'm on lolcow I guess. It's anonymous and faceless and for some reason feels better than seeing people irl.

As for looks, a nice clean hair cut can do wonders. People go from cousin it to pretty attractive just from doing their hair properly! Don't feel so hopeless.

Also, are you not happy for your sister getting married?

My sister is like a 9/10, not sure if we're even related I look like a troll next to her.

Your hair isn't bad. It looks nice and soft. Just style it and brush it. My brother was really fat when he was younger and had ugly mop hair. Everyone made fun of him and said much of the same things to him that you're getting. Now boys and girls drool over him and all he did was lose weight, gets his eyebrows, and take care of his hair.

To only advice I could give you that I wish I had been told myself, is that fucking his best friend will probably make you feel worse in the long run. I know you're angry and want revenge, but that guy could use that shit on you with other people, or you could get an STD (who knows how his friends are), or a bunch of other crap.

This isn't as serious as the other posts here but I'm so frustrated that I have no one to jam with.

The only friends I have are from BMX and they're into rap, which I like but I don't want to make - you feel me? I just want someone to jam with, and play some reggae or rnb with. But I live in a small country town in the midwest and I'm becoming convinced that nobody here has ever even heard the word 'reggae'.

I tried Craigslist, Meetup, MeetMe, and every other social media platform but I got nothing. I'm moving to San Diego in two years so hopefully, I'll find people to jam with then but I'm so bored in the meantime.

I know it's petty, but I'm a little fearful for the route my friend is going. I've made many friends that come from broken homes and especially as of late seem to be trying to "right" their lives through social media. Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong in that, but this friend in particular is starting down the tumblr/Instagram attention seeking route. At first it was just flower crown selfies with essays of "motivational" writing, but last night he posted a borderline crying selfie and I'm starting to think that maybe this is going a little too far.
However, I don't want to rain on his parade. He's been the most confident and happy he's been in years and I don't want to take that away from him. But I also don't want to see him become ignorant and posted to sites such as this one.
I've seen a former friend posted here before and I would rather not see it again, especially with someone so fragile.

My abusive exboyfriend was really into this one music genre and the subculture surrounding it, which indirectly caused me to hate it.

I feel bad now though because I'm kind of…getting into it? Some of my friends recommended me some artists in that genre and it's pretty much all I've been listening to recently. I actually really like it but I feel sick when ever I think of my ex's connections to it.

I'm an overly sensitive piece of shit and could really use some advice, I have no clue what I'm supposed to do. Literally none.

I'm prideful as all fuck and can't handle rejection.
There was this one time when I and some people I knew agreed to hang out on the saturday (we spoke on wednesday, I believe). Nobody talked to me so I assumed it was canceled, but imagine my surprise when they started posting on social media about how they were having fun. I was upset as fuck and never spoke to them again.
Last week something similar happened and I haven't spoken to them yet. I've never had many friends but I believed these people now were friends, but they make very little effort to include me and interact.

I'm not especially boring, afaik, and I'm not annoying or obnoxious either. I can't find anything wrong with me (trust me, I looked) but for some reason this keeps happening. I think it might just be me being overly sensitive but it doesn't seem like too much to ask of the people you're supposedly close to to actually… treat you as a friend.

Ever since my dad lost his job he got super lazy. He won't even answer a phone call or the door anymore and just chooses to watch tv or play games all day. He says he's looking for a job but no one has ever actually seen him apply. Anytime he is on the computer it's reading the news or playing a game. Every month gets ore and more dire but he has this happy go lucky attitude about it and acts as if money will just magically appear in front of us.

We all have some source of money except my sister cause she isn't able to work yet but it isn't enough. We need him bringing income in and he won't get off his ass to do it. Hell, he can't even do minor housework half the time and I've lost so much respect for him that i'm about to just start calling him by his name. He doesn't really act like a parent anymore. All I see is some guy who just kinda lives with us. He used to be so hardworking and now it's like all he does is put away that beer and stare at computer and television screens. The most he does is change litter boxes and feed the cats. Any repairs that need done that he insists on doing he waits until something important we need to do comes up or until we borderline require a repairman to fix.

I don't know what to do about family gatherings anymore. I'm Hispanic and Hispanics have big gatherings. I can't remember all their names nor effectively speak to them in Spanish since I get too nervous and I can't dance to all their old Mexi-music (and they will never play anything in English or modern Spanish music). I really dislike these big gatherings tbh and after each one my sis and I get nagged about being bad, boring daughters and embarrassing the family by not dancing and having a good time.

I try to be polite and say hello and eat and whatnot but neither of us are vivacious. I'm older than my sis though so I get it worst. None of my cousins are partiers either so they think I've been a bad influence on all the rest of them because they are younger. Last time there was a gathering the older folk were dancing and me and all of my cousins were in the living room watching anime (Princess Jellyfish).

Can't wait till we are hosting the parties, we'll put on all the anime and video games and shitty edm we want.

Honestly, you all sound like buzzkills. Why not try and participate in your culture? One day you're going to regret not learning more about it. Your family gatherings sound fun. Can you at least try to dance for a while instead of being a closed off introvert from the get go?

Dancing is the greatest point of contention. I can expect to pretty much always get made fun of for being too prudish (no, I'm not comfortable trying to look/act sexually with family).

So it's 4AM, at around an hour ago I was in the living room and heard as if someone was trying to open the door, but very quietly. I fully assumed it was my door because my first thought was that it was my brother, despite being 3AM. I had a video playing, and paused it to get my laptop off my lap to check, but once I paused it the noises stopped. I go to check the peep hole just seconds after I heard the noise, it took me like 2 footsteps to get to the door, but there was nothing there. Now I'm not completely sure if I should be making a big deal out of this, and keep questioning what or how much i heard.

what's worse is that i google my city's name to find that 2 people were arrested 2 days ago for armed robbery plus

I'll never understand how lolcow can be so conservative and shit on immigrants for not assimilating then turn around and shit on their kids for assimilating. What the fuck do you people want? In extroverted collectivist cultures a family gathering is just family shitting on you if you deviate even the slightest from what a "Mexican" or a "Cuban" or a "Filipino", etc, is supposed to be. It starts with, "Why aren't you a doctor?" "Why don't you look like your cousin?" "Why are you so fat?" "Why are you so skinny?" "Why can't you dance?", then goes into more specific jabs and insults. Flesh and blood can get more brutal than any of you cunts ever are on here, and they feel perfectly justified in saying it because it's in a fun setting they're just trying to "help". And this isn't just me being whiny, this seems to be a universal experience between me and my less extroverted 2nd gen friends.

Personally, >>101629, I've just stopped going to these things when I'm asked to and only go of I know I can be at least 75% into it and can manage the thick skin I'll need, otherwise it's not going to be fun for anyone. Playing weeb music and EDM is a terrible idea, you'll never hear the end of it for years and no one will have fun. I can deeply relate to watching anime with all your cousins and everyone having a good time. I hope family gatherings go better for you in the future.

I am 2nd gen, you dickhead. Not everybody on here is an ultra conservative Trump shill. I am also deeply introverted and have caught plenty of flack at family gatherings, so I know exactly what you're on about. Maybe it has been a 'universal experience' for you and your friends, but I have 2nd gen friends who go to and leave family gatherings without a hitch. Anon never said that they were getting shit on by their family, so I wrongly assumed that they didn't like their own culture.

Why do you have to be so black and white? Families being overly critical isn't an absolute. You and your sample size of yourself and your one friend means jack. You can assimilate into Western society without completely abandoning your culture, and you can embrace your culture without completely rejecting Western society.

Sorry anon, I assumed you were some white ultra conservative so I made a post someone like that would maybe understand. Obviously it's not black and white, but that's the only thing people seem to understand here.

That's not cool of you to assume I've only got one friend on this shit though, I've managed to befriend 2nd gens of all personalities and ethnicities. While it's true some don't mind and roll with it, not everyone can. And honestly, if someone's frustrated with their family, they're almost definitely being forced to conform or being shit on in some way.
The worst I've ever seen was a gay friend in a super Catholic family who spent a three or four months in his home country. For us, if you're being sent back like that, it means your family thinks you're a total fuck up and they want to change you to not be such a disappointment. When he came back he had super short hair (for as as long as I had known him, he had long hair he maintained very well) and had a change of life plans and goals. He killed himself shortly after. Obviously you can't blame it all on the family, but the high pressure environment certainly didn't help his mental health.

I guess that example is a bit extreme, but it'll always stick with me. I'm not as social as I used to be, so I've been living more in my immigrant family bubble and have learned to be ok with it. I'm not truly someone from back home, and I'm not truly someone from here, but that's alright. Family is a crapshoot, but most of the time that's all you got.

Western Culture by and large belongs to white people.

I'm severely depressed right now and the only time I feel happy is when I meet my boyfriend but my mom has should a huge fucking problem with me leaving the house, yet when I don't go anywhere she then complains that I'm a leech and I'm useless(even though most of the time I leave the house it's for job hunting).

Just now she told me that I'm "not allowed" to leave the house for one week. She didn't even give me a reason.

Does anyone else get excessively paranoid when they send a message to someone? I'll go over their message and my response multiple times, mainly because I'm paranoid of missing some sort of information and making myself look like an ass. That doesn't stop it though and it still happens occasionally. I'll look over older messages sometimes and notice something stupid I said/did that I didn't realize before despite combing over everything at the time.

My social circle's pretty thin. I only have two friends that I talk to on a monthly basis. The obvious answer would be to either join a hobbyist club or to try and buddy up with co-workers, but I'm really bad at being discerning and it's not a comfortable situation for me.

Asking one of my roommates, who as far as I know is pretty socially successful, to bring me along to a party and to introduce me to her friends has backfired; she's on some weird extortion trip in which I have to earn the privilege to talk to the same people she talks to. It's not like I'm giving her foot massages or emptying my bank account, it's all petty stuff like requests to make her coffee or loan her some clothes prefaced with a verbal "…and to think I was going to invite you out with some friends next weekend". At this point I'm almost positive she's doing it as a joke, but every time I laugh it off or ask her for a concrete schedule she keeps up the act and says something about how I don't deserve it because I disobeyed her when I refused to do ______ a few days ago.
It turns me on a lot. I feel disgusting and need to find a way to make friends before the whole semi-isolation lifestyle drives me crazy, but as far as I can tell it's not too damaging and I don't see why I should go out of my way to stop it from happening.

I just got a job that I'm optimistic about so things are looking up but I was on a completely shitty path going nowhere for several years before that.

I feel so fucking guilty. My parents don't deserve retard children like me and my sister. They used to be happy, then life happened to deal them not one but two fuck-ups, while their siblings had children who went onto diplomacy and business and academia, seriously.

Holyshit I just had one of the worst interviews ever. It was for this freelance teaching job that has pretty decent pay that my friend is a part of. It's all done online on their cluttered AF interface and all they gave me was some basic video of how it works and didn't even tell us how to even authorize students to use the communication tool. So I basically did a bastardized version of the whole demo lesson and the woman on the other end never bothered to tell me. And the company is from Hong Kong, so there was just this old asian woman basically at the end just being like "lol that was shit. You can reschedule a new demo lesson so you can practice some more" And I was super nervous the whole time because honestly they just give us the material and expected us to come up with this super exciting and upbeat lesson for little kids, which sounds super easy but when its just you and some old woman on the other line your nerves just get the best of you and ahhhghgsadkjasldkfjasdjadklfj

I know you're posting this just to vent and you're probably not looking for solutions or advice, however, after many years of struggling with the same issues myself (having depression and anxiety to boot) I was finally so overwhelmed I got a counselor through my workplace. I went to my first appointment today and when I brought up my self-confidence issues and suicidal ideations she recommended cognitive behavioral therapy. Apparently at this point people like us have to rework how our mind processes feelings and how it finds solutions to problems.

My SO is coming to America for the first time next week, and he'll be staying with me at my parents place. Honestly I think we are both checked out of this relationship at this point. I've been back to america to visit my family (I live in his country) for a few weeks now. He never says he misses me or loves me or anything. I can't even remember the last time he said it. I'm always the one to initiate it. My mom is super excited to have foreign people in our house, so she keeps trying to make all of these plans and stuff, but I can't even get excited about it.

There is so much pressure as well, because when he doesn't get his way or if I don't plan something 100% to his liking, he just shuts down and treats me like I just purposely betrayed him and I'm doing it because I want to make his life miserable. My plan was to get my license while I was back in town, because I never got one and I've just been out of the country so long. Since his parents sprung this trip on him (He isn't even paying for it himself) I had about a month to learn how to drive and pass the driving test with the instructor. Then my parents went on vacation for a week, and then my aunt offered me good money that I couldn't pass up just to watch her spoiled dogs and house sit while she goes to europe, and she lives out of town, so I'll be there almost two weeks with nobody to give me lessons. I let him know about this, and I shit you not he responded with "How the fuck could you do this to me?"

And to make matters worse, a really really really good friend from the country I was living in started texting me a lot more, and we always did get along pretty well. He's showing feelings for me, and I don't know if it's a grass is greener thing or what. But I miss just having a guy say nice things to me and tell me I'm beautiful. I miss having a SO that doesn't straight up say "Don't worry, I'll photoshop your face" when we take pictures together. I'd love to have someone not poke fun at my body, or force me to wear my hair a certain way by shutting down and getting pissy if I dont.

We've been dating for 2 years, but I think we are almost at the end. I'm at the point where I just don't care if we even break up.

I don't think I can have children and frankly I'm not handling that very well. I have a health issue that makes conceiving a child incredibly difficult and I've already miscarried in the past but I refuse to go see any medical professional about the possibility of infertility. I know I'm not ready to have kids so I rationalize not looking into it that way because I tell myself that I shouldn't worry about it right now because if I can or cannot wouldn't make much of a difference at this point in time outside of emotions. If I can't have children then I'll be devastated and I want to put that off for as long as possible. But not knowing is also making me bitter and angry. I see people I know talking about how they never wanted children and are glad they don't have them and it hurts. I want to tell them they're stupid and selfish for saying things like that but really I'm the stupid one for getting so emotional over someone else's choices that don't affect my life. But it bothers me that people can talk about how awful it is to have kids and how thankful they are to not have them when they don't know what others' situations are like. No one knows this is a problem. I can't talk about it. I don't want to be bitter and angry towards people but I can't help thinking that they're ungrateful. Maybe finding out for sure could help but if it's bad news then I'd feel so useless. I was so broken down after miscarrying so I can't even imagine what it will feel like to find out for sure.

Sorry dudes it's a novel:
I dated a disgusting well known older man that works in my same field, and I just want him to fall off the Earth. I learned only after we broke up the extent of how disgusting he was. Full on sociopath narcissist , it started out as a hook up and then we caught feelings. Found out the extent of his drug addiction and that he was always cheating on me. We were both mutually into more of a bdsm relationship, but I was the only one able to keep that separate from reality. He grew up in an extremely abusive household and he's basically a younger version of his dad. Towards the end of our relationship he admitted being into more violent things, underage girls, and specific races. Because he's a sociopath and an addict for almost all of his adult life, he's extremely good at manipulating people.

I think most people are done with his shit though because he's 40 years old, his drug use shows on his slimy weathered and aged face (and like I said he has an age obsession), and everyone I've met that knew him doesn't have one good thing to say. The person he's dating now is a certified idiot that's, objectively speaking, ugly or at the most "average" with nothing going for her in life. He was seeing her before we met, but continued seeing her while we dated because he's wildly insecure and I just got so sick of him. I didn't break up because some difficult life situations came up for me and I convinced myself I needed his illusion of support. He was a fucking asshole about everything because he knew I didn't actually care about him either after the first two weeks and I saw who he really was. I was just going through the dumbest of shit and kept him probably as a way to self harm.

Now I'm deeply embarrassed for allowing someone so pathetic into my life, angry because he's so lame, but I also do not give a fuck because his life is so fucked and he's a joke. I learned from him, but it still hurts I let him in for a moment out of spite for myself. It was kind of a rock bottom.

The only thing I fear is running into anyone we're mutual friends with, because anyone that's ok with him must be pathetic scum too, and I would be caught between wanting them to know he's a monster but also wanting to express how insignificant he is by not caring. He's reached out to me before like nothing happened and I wanted to throw up.

I have recently had extremely positive opportunities in my life come up and I just want to move on, but all that experience did was fuck up my trust in the world. Him just straight lying to my face was fucked, constantly accusing me of cheating, and trying to convince me I wasn't good enough when I've always been treated in the exact opposite way. It was just the most vulnerable time in my life and here I am dealing with the aftermath.

Exact same problem, I feel for you anon.
Mine is caused my anxiety and body dysmorphia after being bullied by jealous girls. It's a fight or flight response, and therapy does help. The best thing I've universally heard from professionals is exposure therapy, but enlist a professional and let them know about your goals of getting this under control. It sucks and it's uncomfortable, and you will cry but you'll be really relieved when your perspective begins to get restored. After you feel like you make even a little progress it gets easier I promise. Like anything habitual, you might have a relapse in that toxic way of thinking but you have to center yourself and try to stay calm instead of disassociating.

You belong on this planet as much as everyone else and I promise it does get better, you just need to learn more tools. When you do the work you can look at yourself in the mirror with pride that you're overcoming these issues, because it's not easy but you're still here which means you can persevere. Good luck anon.

I hate that my bf doesn't give a shit about my hobbies and interests like I do with his. It makes me feel like shit and makes me question our relationship.

I don't think I'm a boring person. I love learning new things and sharing and discussing them with people, mainly with him because he's really smart. Yet, so often when I'm excited about something and want to share, I can barely get his attention, he has no input, or god forbid, those few times where he says "you've told me this already" or "I don't care".

I don't know how many times he's shared with me shit that I don't care about, but I love him and love to see him excited about things, so I listen, ask questions, and engage.

Well honestly, you were okay with him at one point too and obviously that didn't make you a scumbag. You were just vulnerable and you had feelings for someone you thought you could trust.

My husband is my lolcow today. I mean, I love this guy, but right now he's ridiculous.
Today I came home and could literally not get into the entrance because his shoes were all over it. So I moved them around, walked into the living room and said "Dude, you have way too many shoes. You need to pick them up, I couldn't even get through the door right now" - he did a "You do that too!" thing and then ignored me for 15 minutes before telling me he never wants to speak to me again (me: "Do you want to get a divorce because I told you to clean up your shoes?" him: "I don't want a divorce, I just don't want to talk to you again") and leaving our appartment.
I'm not even… angry or sad or anything, just bewildered. He'll cool down in a few hours and come back, but seriously, am I married to a fucking teenager or what?

Sounds like my ex.
Came home from my second job just wanting to chill with the bf. He says he's "too tired" to hang out. He was unemployed at the time and spending all his days playing PS1 games. I made a little, sarcastic comment on how exhausting full a day of FFVII must be (after I spent the last 8 hours in a shitty nursing home) and he totally flips shit.
He moves out less than 24 hours after I made that one comment, saying "I pushed him to the edge".
We were engaged and planning a wedding, but looking back I think I dodged a bullet there.

Nope, not even in school anymore. I just picked up a book recently that discusses sexuality in Ancient Greece and now I'm a tad obsessed with mystery cults.

The book is called "Sacred Sexuality" by Georg Feuerstein, if you're interested. Although the general idea of the book is about embracing your sexuality, a good majority of it discusses the history of sexuality, starting from the paleolithic era all the way up to modern times. It's really fascinating!

He did you a favor that would have been a huge mistake, and he probably got that mad out of insecurity.

I accidentally dated someone instagram "famous" and because I guess I'm more aloof he got so insecure to the point of throwing a tantrum because I don't him whistling was annoying. He thought that was a great prerequisite to tell me about his childhood abuse, how i was using reverse psychology, cried to manipulate him, how i poorly handled his erectile dysfunction, how he didn't like having to wait four hours between my texts while i was at work, etc.

And he had the tiny little rat balls to call me hysterical when I told him I wasn't putting up with his circus.

Get onto retraining your brain, the link between language and psychology is pretty solid. Here are some tips a counsellor gave to me that have helped me:
Whenever you find yourself mentally berating yourself (calling yourself stupid etc) then notice it. Don't tell yourself off for it, don't think about why you do it, just take a second to go "ah, I did it again", and then get back on with whatever you were meant to be doing.

This sounds really dumb but try to say thank you to your thoughts/brain whether internally or out loud. It's doing it's best and probably only ever gets complaints from you as a result. Sometimes saying things like "thank you for worrying about whether or not I locked the door, that's an important job well done, but I know that the door is locked and so you don't have to worry anymore and your job is done".

Look at the way you use language with people. Try to say thank you instead of sorry.
E.g. "Thank you for taking the time to help me out again" rather than "Sorry that I'm no good". This takes a lot of practice but people like being thanked and feeling helpful, and having someone berate themselves in front of you can be uncomfortable.

As for being offensive it's sometimes good to just say "I often talk without thinking, please say if I mess up" or something, I have the same problem. Good luck!

2) my crazy paranoid-ass mom just fucking got into a shouting match with my neighbor at 1 AM because his chickens are too loud and he's racist and also on welfare or something. i fucking hate her sometimes she always begins a rivalry with my neighbors no matter where we live.

3) my friend is sending me snapchats of him and some of my other friends getting super drunk and playing tomb raider at their apartment and they look like they're having a blast. I had to move away from their city and haven't been able to make new friends at uni or in the city i moved to. I'm lonely af and I wish I could hang out with them.

There was some miscommunication about how long it would be but it turned out to be around 8 hours all together. It went decently and I was able to manage my anxiety, but I still didn't really see the point in me being there the whole time. I'm not that close with my extended family, so I didn't really talk with them all that much. All I really did during the reception/dinner was sit around, explored the area a little, hung out with my brothers(they're pretty similar to me and got dragged into it as well) and nieces and nephews. It was okay. What upsets me though is how my parents reacted to me not wanting to stay that long. There was lots of shouting and threats directed towards me, at one point I was worried about being hit, but in the end I gave-in. I'm not underaged, but the way I get treated sometimes I may as well be.

I used to be friends with this one dude, but last week he blocked me on everything because I was visiting where he lives (and where my boyfriend, who I was visiting, also lives) and I didn't text him right away.
Last time I was visiting, he picked me up at the airport (apparently an great inconvenience for him, but I told him I was ok with just taking the train by myself to get into town and he insisted), so maybe it was shitty of me to not text him, but to be honest, he's been really… I dunno… Like he's got this ugly dominance thing, and that's never meshed well my being a strong independent womyn.
He's never approved of my boyfriend either, and my boyfriend's always tried really hard to get along with him for my sake. Why would I put my boyfriend through the awkwardness of trying yet again to please a friend that cannot be pleased? "friend" said i should dump him and he can set me up with another guy that he approves of, but fuckit, he's not my dad and he doesn't get to approve of what or who I do. Not even my dad gets to do that tbh cos he trusts me to make decisions on my own and learn from my mistakes. Friend also, when I was single, or when I had just met my bf, would say "oh it's not so bad to be single, my uncle didn't get married until he was 50" but then in almost the same breath harp on how he's engaged and how wonderful it is to be engaged, and I'm just like… lol yea ok.
And shortly after I left last time, he got into a huge fight with his fiancee, whom he moved in with RIGHT AWAY and got engaged to RIGHT AWAY like less than a month after his last fiancee dumped him, because she was still friends an ex, and that kind of bothered me. When I first met her 2 years ago, she seemed normal, well adjusted, had kids of her own from a previous relationship that she was still in contact with, family that she was still in contact with, a fulltime job, etc., but since then she's cut ties with her family and her kids because they're the bad ones (her kids are teenagers so ofc they're going to say snotty things to their mother from time to time, that's a thing teenagers just do) and has stopped working since her anxiety has gotten so bad. She's completely dependent on my former friend now. And when I said "oh this is weird that he just blocked me" it was her who came onto my facebook to guilt trip me about how terrible it was that I hadn't called him. I told her the phone works both ways, and she said yeah that's right, the phone works both ways, which is why I should have, although busy whirlwinding around with everything else and bad at phones anyway, should've made the first call. Like if you knew I was in town you could've called me tho. Ffs. I cannot reach out to every single person all the time, and I came on this trip basically straight from work, for an 8 hour flight, and did my bf's graduation related activities most of the week.
His ex fiancee was the same way, started out a bit of a mess but was still slightly fine on her own, and later on turned into this helpless little thing that needed him to come over and squash spiders or w/e (poor girl later went on to date my npd ex, but thankfully that didn't last long), and I'm seeing a ghastly pattern here. He feeds into these girls' sickness and makes them think they're worse off than they actually are, just so he can control their lives under the guise of looking after them. A bit like munchhausens by proxy in a way. And with this current one he wants to move across the country, which would further isolate her from her family and friends.
He's also got a habit of putting his time and energy into wrecking the lives of people he doesn't like, and that worries me seeing as I'm on that list now. And this is what he's putting his time and energy into instead of working fulltime, because he says even though his employer offered him fulltime work, he wouldn't take it because that income level would put them out of the emergency housing they're at now (where he complains about junkies on the porch and how terrible the area is) and may not get a council flat right away, meaning he would have to use his own money to rent privately like most people do, and that would interfere with his glorious 5 year plan of whisking his fiancee away somewhere far away and buying a house. Must be nice to have the luxury of sticking to your 5 year plan, but don't complain about the junkies in yr front garden when you're actively choosing to live in a place where there are junkies in the front garden.
TL;DR I'm happy he's out of my life because he's fucking toxic, but I'm so worried for his current fiancee, and wondering if maybe his ex, as dumb as she was, was right about him in the end. Now I feel guilty for not believing her too. Ugh.

I've been kind of in your situation before, and it's easy for strangers to say "just leave" than it's done.

I remember if I got angry and tried talking back I'd start to choke up and cry, so I'd just go to my room. I don't think your mum knows how far she's going with it because she's probably going unchecked, and if she can get away with it, why not push it further?

My advice is; if you're staying in, be quiet. Stay in your room and do whatever productive stuff. If your mum comes in to tell you off, just look at her. If she tries to bait you, ask you what's wrong with you just give her quick, true opinions.
"you're being unreasonable"
"you're too controlling"
"I want to see my boyfriend/go out/leave"
"You're telling me at 20 years old to not leave the house for a week"
"I want an apology"

In my experience she'd usually go off on one for a long time, about how I'm ungrateful, about how she's justified about how she's acting because she's my mum etc. Just watch her and don't respond, even with your body language (and I'd usually use this time to hold back my stupid angry tears). Eventually she'll hear her own bullshit and check herself. Your constant feedback of solely what she's doing is wrong will help that along.
Good luck, it's frustrating af [spoiler] and honestly it never gets better, I'm 25 and have to keep her in check with sharp words often

My feels:
I hate being poor. I just got fired from a mentally and physically exhausting job and I don't miss it (didn't even pay that well fwiw), but now I won't have any money and I need so many things.
I need to buy a few bras, I need a new pair of jeans that fits well and the only suitable pair I can find costs €114. I need 3 T-shirts but most T-shirts out there look too baggy on me. My nan is dying and I need money to go see her, I told my mam I can't afford it and she said I could come later, it's better if I skip the funeral and avoid the stress etc but you could hear she was trying not to cry when she said that and it makes me feel like shit, this woman literally raised me and I didn't even get to say goodbye.

I'm really conflicted about my friends rn. I have known them since middle/high school and for the most part we get along but we have different interests and always do what "the leader" of the group wants to do (which is do fucking nothing but play d&d, go on tumblr to discuss SJW shit or how they are "SO GAY", and maybe watch a movie).
Also I hate driving their asses everywhere and not getting gas money, and hearing how their parents are abusive because they yelled at them for not doing the dishes. The're older than me, don't have their shit together, yet still talk down to me and treat me like I'm stupid because I'm an "airhead" and don't like reading Shakespeare or some shit. They also want us all to move out together but I don't want to have to drive one of their asses to and from work everyday, and have to spend the majority of my paycheck in rent (I live in bumfuck nowhere that's mostly occupied with tourists and vacationers, and rent is, on average, $1600/month for some shitty hole in the wall) when I'm already paying for my school, textbooks, car, meds, etc. Also my parent's don't mind me living at home since I'm not having a fucking emotional breakdown every other day, and will finish community college in a year, then transfer to a four year school to get my bachelor's. idk but I think now that I'm gaining back some self confidence I'm realizing I've only been friend's with them because I felt like no one else would ever hang out with me.

If you do try, at the very LEAST get a pot of hot wax and strips. I tried both, the already waxed strips had me bleeding out of near every pore, and the hot wax made it feel like I was waxing my leg with the waxed strips. I guess it's a bit more tricky because you have to make sure it's not too hot/too thick or it'll burn/not work.

Anyway my vent. Fucking conductor on the train rushed up to me to ask for my ticket on the 3 minute journey before changing lines. Bam, peak times £10 on what would've been a £3 journey if I managed it.

I fucking hate the fashion industry.
I just want a plain crew or v-neck dark grey t-shirt and a pair of slim dark grey jeans that doesn't make my thighs look big. I'm not even fat (XXS/XS), just a pear.

You'd think it's easy but it's a living nightmare due to 2 things: 1) I live in Northern Europe so any online recommendations don't work for me, since people usually just say 'Go to Target/Kohl's/some other American store!'
2) I'm poor so I can't buy that much at once online and then return it if it doesn't fit

So I've been running around 3 giant megamalls trying to find what I'm looking for but it's so fucking difficult. EVERYTHING is either super skinny, high waist or both, has ugly embellishments on the pockets or, if it's a shirt, super low cut or a slouchy boatneck that makes me look like a hobo.
How sad is it that I have to pay over €50 if I want a fucking t shirt.

Yesterday I bought a pair of black ankle length jeans that I thought I could bleach because they just did not offer any dark grey ones anywhere, but then I tried it on one of my older black jeans and they turned orange instead. Apparently, the jeans are treated with some chemical that will help them fade. Great! Now I'm stuck with these.
I wanna cry, this is so frustrating.

This is a real convo I had with someone who is a dear friend of mine and I'm genuinely afraid the relationship would be damaged if I challenged them, even in a respectful way.

My sister is making me go on a trip with her to some kind of health and well-being seminar for women next year and I'm kind of upset about it. It's going to be very expensive but according to her I never do anything for myself and need to get out and take control of my life.

Whenever I actually do things for myself that I enjoy she just doesn't care or thinks it's weird. If I were to spend the amount she blows on these trips on something like a comic convention she'd think I was psychotic. When we were ordering the tickets I started crying and couldn't say anything more than "ok" "mmmhmm" and on the other side all I could hear was her skipping around yelling "YAAAAAAAAAY WE'RE GOING TO CALIFORNIA :DDDDDDDDDDDDD"

Someone just stole my dad's two guns while he was parked in my grandma's driveway. Absolutely nothing else was even looked through much less taken, just the middle compartment. The was a gps, cop detector, wallet, car keys, even ammo. All they took was one gun on the top of it and one gun underneath a bunch of stuff they would've had to dig for that was right next to the ammo.

I had one class with her and she looks nothing like me. I'm at least a foot and a half taller, I have short black hair and she has long greyish blond hair, I have a big chest and she doesn't, I wear glasses and she doesn't, and we have completely diffrent styles.

my perception of myself varies. it doesn't have anything to do with ~gender roles uwu~ but i don't really like being seen as female either. i won't sperg out about it when people refer to me as a woman, because i understand that people don't really understand my situation and it's likely they'd make fun of it if i even tried to explain it. so i guess in a way you're right

if you have to wear a binder normally to feel comfortable but don't mind being seen as a woman, then it's a body thing. if you don't want to be seen as a woman, then it's probably a gender thing. i'm not a professional but if it's causing you discomfort i'd recommend researching it and possibly getting an appointment with a therapist if possible?

I don't necessarily agree that it's all sex or 'dark' but I do find western music kind of pretentious in comparison to kpop and jpop. Not necessarily pretentious as in trying to be intellectual, more like trying to be cool. Normies have their cool party music, hipsters have their cool indie music, metalheads have their cool hardcore music, etc. Dorky music just doesn't fly in any subculture in the west but kpop and jpop have plenty of cutesy, cheesy, bubble gum pop girl groups/boybands that aren't cool in any language.

Also, I think anime OSTs promote a lot of variety in sound/genre. The OP and ED have to fit the show first of all, so it encourages bands to make music to suit certain themes, if that makes sense? It seems like you get a lot of stuff that sounds different to mainstream Japanese music because it doesn't necessarily have to be radio friendly, and you sometimes get talented soundtrack composers involved too. Like for example, Yuki Kajiura and Kalafina are amazing but I can't imagine music like theirs ever being on western radio because it's too 'cinematic' sounding.

I'm sure there's lesser known western stuff that compares but I spent a lot of time jumping from genre to genre before I got into asian pop and it's true for a lot of subcultures.

It's not like I think there's no cutesy/uplifting music at all (though I can see how it can sound that way when you're ranting), it's just that they're rare compared to the slit-my-rists-n-cri lyrics that get the most airtime.

Here's some good stuff I like (also, anon who mentioned Janelle Monae, she's adorable and I really want to like her music but for some reason I'm finding it really difficult) if anyone else is interested:

Why do people think I'm joking when I tell them I'm a functioning alcoholic? I'm being quite literal about it. Guys I tell this to always say, "Haha me too!" No shithead, I don't mean having a few beers everyday or a night of binge-drinking. Drinking is literally on my mind all the time. I haven't drank at work but the first thing I do when I get home is pour myself a drink and then I don't stop. When I don't work I drink all day long until I pass out. I tell them this as a warning and yet they want to still try and date me. Then they act shocked when they see the actual amount I drink. I'm tired of it, I should just give up on dating. And I have no intention on stopping.

I'm really upset today, but I have to act like I'm okay cause I know it isn't worth it to get upset outloud about when I already said something about it.
My BF and me have been apartment shopping for months and month. Nothing seems good enough for him. We finally found a place was reasonably priced so we can save and not live paycheck to paycheck. We put down the deposit on it and we move in on September first (it's being remodeled) we have been there twice now and I'm excited, I see ourselves in it. He now doesn't seem thrilled, not excited, more silent and monotone then normal. Just hurts cause I know it's scary! I know this is an huge step for us, but I wish I wasn't getting the silent treatment… Like if he didn't want this then I wish he said something. He claims is not because he doesn't want to do this, but he is scared… But how scared he must be that he is treating me like this, not excited. I don't know I just had to get this out there cause now I'm getting scared and feel I forced it even with him saying I didn't. Sometimes he lacks seeing the beauty in things and the adventure in it..

Tell him that it's making you uncomfortable and if he doesn't listen tell him to fuck off or something. If he persists ignore him. Block his contact if you need to and if he's in your group either ignore him or let someone in the group know what's going on so they can get after him. Maybe he'll get the boot by then or get the message that he should cut it out.

Don't enable him. Just put your foot down.

Once upon a time there were some nearly baseless rumours at my former workplace that I wanted to sleep with another coworker. I asked one culprit to stop saying those kinds of things about me and they respectfully did and the other eventually left.
I had to quit last month and I thought that the rumours would be gone with me, but apparently some other team members are keeping it alive and well… And adding more boys to the "story" too.
It kind of hurts because these guys were my buddies and I'm upset that they would assume things like that behind my back. I wanted everyone to remember me for my hard work and friendships, not as some thirsty slut.

Boyfriend and I have been having troubles for a long time. Mainly just that things have been boring, dull, there's no excitement anymore. He's been depressed because he hates his job, gained weight, lost friends and doesn't really make an effort to involve himself in hobbies or anything. I've tried to help him so much to get out of the vicious circle he's in. He is really the nicest and calmest and loveliest guy in the world.

The other night he flipped his shit at me and said he's not attracted to me cause I'm fat, (I'm average weight) disgusting, I eat too much and I'm too childish and lazy.
We broke up yesterday, mutually. A mature breakup, we talked about it and that it was probably best for both of us to go our separate ways, and I mentioned how hurt I was by the things he said the other day.
He didn't say sorry. He said "Okay".

Now I'm alone, things are awkward with our mutual friends and we still have to live together. I was horrible at work today and I'm embarrassed and scared because I'm depressed. I'm broke as fuck and I'm just fucking sick of this.

So I thought I was really close with one of my friends. We weren't always on good terms but we'd gotten into the habit over the last year of talking once every one or two weeks. Recently we'd spent quite a bit of time hanging out with each other and we even spent a few nights cuddling together and sleeping in the same bed. I felt like I could tell them about anything. Sometimes they wouldn't pick up my calls for a couple of weeks time but they'd always come around. Apparently they were really stressed about talking with me even idgaf what was going on as long as they replied. I'm REALLY glad I didn't listen to anyone's advice of "They're ghosting, stop talking to them".

However, since the last time I've seen them, they've barely responded to my messages at all. They'd insisted they were fine with still talking with me but it really doesn't seem like it. Idk. I don't know if now is the time to give up or if something is fundamentally changed. Or they think I'm too clingy or something.

The thing is they're starting a new degree in a country they've never been to with no friends. So idk if they are more stressed than usual or something.

I was drunk last night and I was exaggerating when I said they didn't want to do anything with me. We've chatted a little bit over the last couple of weeks since we've seen each other. It's just that it hasn't been much as I'd like, and we haven't had a proper call in a while which would be helpful.

idk what to do. Like before my birthday in June, I was pretty upset about something but they wouldn't pick up the phone for like two weeks straight. Then I went off the grid to go camping, and the first call I made afterwards, they picked up. Weird. Then we hung out for quite a bit after that. So hopefully they'll come around and they won't be too stressed.

Honestly I never wanted anyone to analyze? I just wanted to vent. Like I've said I don't think anyone's advice is helpful here. If I asked for anyone else's advice, they would have told me "He's totally ghosting on you, you need to let it go and don't bother." At least up until the last time we saw each other that would not have been the right advice.

So yeah it's a guy. Actually he's trying to be a tranny lmao. Yeah I get it, he's mentally ill. I've told him, and I've let him know that I really don't approve.

As for why I bother, I like most everything about him except for the tranny thing and the slow to respond/moody thing. Also I don't have a ton of people in my life to talk to, and it's nice that I have someone I've known for a long time who will listen to me and not really care/judge. Annnnd the cuddling.

Life would be more convenient if I was down to hook up with random guys all the time and was ok with cuddling with them. But I only hook up while drunk, and then I feel so uncomfortable when I sober up. The last guy I hooked up with, I tried to get him to leave by saying I couldn't fall asleep with someone else in bed with me. Big lie.

I'm feeling more and more down because I never have any money, and I want more than anything to be independent. I'm only 18 with no worthwhile qualifications, so I've been applying to every low level job there is, but no luck.
Everyone my age I ask about how they got their job is that they knew someone there and got in without even having to hand in a resume.
I've been rejected and not replied to so many times, then I have people left and right asking me why I haven't got a job. When I tell them the truth they say that I have to hit the pavement and apply in person instead of online, but don't seem to realise that shops will literally knock you back and tell you to apply online, which also makes you look like a dickhole.

I'm so sad that my generation is the least likely to ever truly own any sort of house, even with hard work. It doesn't help having old people rant on about how lazy we are and we just don't work had enough to buy a house.

> tfw the student finance people give you the bare minimum amount of maintenance loan and it barely covers 2/3 of your rent

I have absolutely no problem with getting a part time job when I go to uni in september, I'm just a bit miffed since I originally thought that the amount was per semester and not per year so it's a bit surprising to realise you're going to be dealing with a single fibre of a shoestring budget. Also I only have my week of compulsory Year 10 work experience from 3 years ago so applying for a job will be really fun. /s

The thing I'm probably most annoyed about is if it takes ages for me to successfully get a job I can't claim JSA in the meantime since student finance is already supporting me, even though the "support" doesn't even cover my rent.

I've contemplated changing my choices to cheaper accommodation (though the ones I picked before certainly weren't expensive) but Mom doesn't want me to stay in a "doss-hole" 'cause she thinks I'll be miserable and people will steal all my stuff. She says we'll find some way to make it work but idk I'm just worried I guess…

My firm choice has a thing where you get £700 if you do 100 hours of a work experience placement during the course of the semester, so I was thinking of doing that 1-2 times so I actually have something on my CV and then I'll be more likely to be accepted for a job towards the end of the academic year, but I'll have to see if that works out if I even get in since I'm super worried about results day too.

EPILEPSY. I'm epileptic, and I find it the most frustrating shit ever, my seizures are sort of controlled, I haven't had a grand mal in a while but I still have tonic fits, I work in education and though people are very good with it, I find when I haven't had a seizure in a while people seem to think that means I'm fine, they don't realise the horrible effects of my medication and the daunting worry that I'll have a fit then you get others who are very wary of me. THEN you get the occasional wally who goes "I know if you when you have a seizure I should put something in your mouth" FUCKING NO. It all gets me down massively, anyone got any advice or feel the same?

No. 105237

>>105230
I find it's the same with any chronic illness. I'm schizophrenic, and people do the same thing, if I've been fine for a bit, they just assume that it's because it's all over now and I'm fine There's no way to fix this though, people close to you learn it eventually, but if they haven't already, there's nothing you can do to make them get it. You kind of just have to learn to accept that most people aren't going to understand what's going on with you, and that they don't really need to. I've got no idea what their issues are, they don't need to understand mine usually either.


And the people who have wrong advice or the wrong idea are at least trying to help. Isn't that advice true for a certain sort of seizure though? To stop you biting your tongue off or something? Or is that just a pop culture thing completely.

No. 105239

>>105237 Thank you, that's very comforting to know other people feel the same. There are a lot of misconceptions about seizure first aid, putting something in the mouth can cause broken teeth, choking etc, best thing to do is as long as the person isn't near anything that could hurt them is just leave them alone, time the fit and comfort them when they come round. Annoyingly when I have grand mals when I come round I throw up and have no idea what's going on for a few days

No. 105246

It's definitely not an uncommon thing, and it makes sense really, most people haven't experienced stuff like that that comes and goes so drastically.

That's interesting about the first aid thing, though I have to ask, is the whole point about making sure the area around them is free of any hard corners or whatever true? That's one thing I remember being taught for certain is that it's important to make sure the area around them is free of anything they could hurt themselves on or break.

What sort of epilepsy do you have, too? Is this advice true for all of them?

>>105246 Yeah, I totally understand that people don't understand it, and people usually can be quite frightened by it, I wear a medical braclet and carry a card that gives first aid advice, moving things away is because some people can convulse very voilently and hurt themselves on chairs/tables etc, I have cryptogenic epilepsy which pretty much means doctors have no idea what causes it, I mainly have tonic seizures (going stiff and falling down without losing consciousness) and grand mals (collapse, convulse, piss myself haha)

It definitely is a scary disorder, thankfully I've never experienced seizures though.

So the part about moving stuff away is true then? Does the stuff in the pic apply to grand mals too, or should you be more forceful with that, and try to restrain the person somewhat?

So they can't track where it's happening for you? At one point they thought I had a type that caused psychotic episodes, but from my knowledge they scanned where it would be and it was clear, isn't diagnosis based off a scan of the brain usually?

Generally if I an suffering an episode and am in public I just end up with the police called on me if it's noticeable, so I suppose that's one upside to epilepsy that people are more understanding of it than with some other illnesses. There's always some sort of silver lining, same as mine is that there's no real chance of me seriously injuring myself unintentionally.

>the basics are on that poster, I really apricate your interest in being aware :)


Yep, I gave it a read and saved it, thanks. And of course, I really like being able to help with shit where I can, especially with illness, and it turns out I knew nothing about epilepsy really, so this was really constructive for me too. I hope I could help you out somehow as well.

Good luck anon, I hope the medications work well for you in the future.

It honestly really depends on the episode. But essentially it starts off with just being more confused about stuff, things make less sense, I mess up words and the like, and it just develops into delusional thoughts, like "The TV is talking to me with subliminal messages" or something. Hallucinations aren't constant, but generally fit in with whatever the overall feeling is. So if I'm freaked out, they're in a way that freaks me out more.

To use the worst example, it started off how I described, building up over a couple weeks, and at it's maximum led to me believing that everyone alive was possessed or controlled by something. This set me off massively (and with the hallucinations, many people seemed like they had black eyes, which confirmed it). Once this hits for this sort of thing, it's just all encompassing fear for a long period of time, which leads to you acting like a normal terrified person would, lashing out and being really defensive. This is probably my worst one because my partner at the time ended up getting physically hurt because they were trying to help me but got too close and I cut them, and it ended up with a police confrontation and me in a psych ward for a while. No charges though.

Others have been really mood based, so like, if I was heavily depressed, I might become convinced I'm actually in hell and am being punished for something.


It's really hard to describe though, because it's not the same for everyone. The only consistent things are the delusions and confused thinking.



Only advice I could give is that if you think someone is actively psychotic, don't play games around it. Call whatever your local emergency number is, and ask them if they think the person needs to be hospitalised, because it's really unpredictable where it can go.


Most of the time though I just suffer from depression, and don't seem like there's anything else wrong, so people assume I'm all better. And for the time I am, but it's very much because I life really controlled life, I don't do much of anything, stress is a massive trigger for that sort of stuff. Long term stress at least.

I wish I could explain better somehow, but it's hard to over such a broad scale.

It's easier to deal with than it sounds really, it's not very common for me anymore, maybe a month or two of the year are spent that way at this point, it's manageable. I'd definitely prefer it to something like what you're describing.

You're right though, it's interesting how we act like we know so much about it, but there's just so much shit that can go wrong we don't have any idea why it does. We know pretty much nothing about the brain overall.

You never know though, she might have gotten a few days off work with pay for that, I'd definitely have gone for it if it was just some retail job and I was her.

I've been medicated in the past, but they're all pretty harsh on me, so I rely on avoiding the things that set it off mostly. I am on a low dose of an anti-psychotic, but only very low, it just helps the low lying stuff stay away. I do therapy, yeah.

That's a good point, having the slight bit of warning would be helpful, you sometimes hear about people where it's much more sudden than that and messes them up pretty bad. Are you able to get medication for it? Does the whole CBD oil thing really work as far as you know?

Therapy's just with a psychologist in my local area I was referred to by my GP, who somehow knows pretty much every doctor within a 50km radius. I see a psychiatrist as well, though I was referred to him out of an inpatient setting, not by my GP.

And that makes sense if the anti-seizure medications work that you wouldn't actually need to look into anything else.

>>105298
Any dissociative disorder can be pretty linked to a stressful of traumatic event, which depending on the circumstance I can see why finding that out about your mother would be.

Though it's not very easy for us to diagnose anything for you because none of us are psychiatrists or have seen your presentation. I'd really recommend you did talk to your GP about it if it's bothering you and impacting your life.

My boyfriend honestly thinks I'm ugly and told me so. I don't really know what to do. He even deleted all the pictures and videos he ever had of me. A while before he told me actually. I mean I never actually thought he really did think I was cute but it really hurts tbh. I don't really have any hope that it'll work out between us anymore.

He says he loves me despite it and that I look okay in some and that maybe I'll look better with weightloss, but I'm so close to 100 pounds and if I'm so disgusting that he had to delete every picture no amount of weightloss will ever change that. He said the only reason he ever wanted pictures or videos was to see if I got better.

I still really want to be together but I don't know what I'd do when we're together. If I could wear a mask 24/7 I would but it's not like I could meet his parents like that. There's no way we could ever have sex without him imaging someone else either. I'm literally 100% flat without even mosquito bites, have an undefined waist and hips, a really small butt, and I'm 4'11 so it's not like I could have long legs. We had problems with attraction even before this. It made me go from feeling super lewd daily all day to completely dead for a while now. I can't even masturbate because of how disgusting I feel. I hate my body and face so much tbh.

I can't even imagine us being together anymore. Much less do something like cuddle or kiss. I feel really stupid and disgusting. I honestly feel like I don't deserve to be with him. He's a really great guy and deserves someone he'd actually be attracted to. He keeps saying he's with me because he likes my personality but there's no way that's enough when I'm this gross. Honestly I'm pretty sure he's only with me because me obsessing over him makes him feel good and with someone that's both so ugly and has such a shit body he won't have to worry about cheating like what's happened to him before.

I'm gonna keep up with my weightloss and show him at the end, but I really really doubt he'll ever be even a little bit attracted to me.

I'm 4'11, I used to be 200 pounds a few years ago but I've been steadily losing weight. I hate sending body pics so the last pic I sent was around 15-20 pounds ago which is a lot on a small short frame. Ideally I'd be around 85-90 pounds.

We were arguing about attraction already when he brought up my face. It wasn't really an insult he was just being honest. We get along really well most of the time and we talk literally every single day for hours since we met in December. He keeps saying he still really wants to be with me and he's still attracted to me, but I think he's trying to fool himself into thinking that so he doesn't feel shallow. Since he admitted it he's been trying really hard to make me feel better.

He tells you these things because he wants you to feel this way. If you ever realise your true value, there's a chance you might leave.

Try and step back from the situation and imagine one of your friends, someone you really care about, was being treated like this. Read your post as if you were sent it. Would you accept it? Would you believe them when they tell you their BF is too good for them? Do you think a genuinely nice person could ever treat your beloved friend like this?

He might not even realise he's doing it, so it's not necessarily malicious. But that makes it even more dangerous for you, if this is how he intuitively interacts with people then there's very little hope of him unlearning it.

Even with that, it's not okay to call your partner ugly and make them feel insecure and shitty in the relationship, as others have said it can very easily be a sign of him being manipulative, making you feel worse so that you don't feel like you can go out and meet other people, and as such can't meet someone better than him, and will do anything to keep him.

Unless he was incredibly apologetic and just said it in the middle of an already heated argument where insults were already flying, I don't think there's really any way to justify it. It could be okay if it was in that situation, but from what you're saying it wasn't, and he just outright told you you were ugly, which isn't okay.

>Since he admitted it he's been trying really hard to make me feel better.


In the cycle of abuse this is called the honeymoon period. He makes sure to comfort you for the pain he himself inflicted, so that you always come running back to him when he has upset you. He's not remorseful, he's making sure you associate being hurt by him with being comforted by him.

He's never told me this. He's never even really hinted at it. Hence the "I feel" and not "he told me/implied" like I said about being ugly. He tries to give me tons of compliments all the time, especially now after this. Whenever I feel sad or my health issues get to me he always tries his best to make me feel better. To be completely honest I've almost definitely got some mental problems of my own and he still puts up with me.

>>105322
>What sort of a retard would call a 4'11 girl manly anyway? Especially if you have a small frame.

My face mostly, my jaw and chin are pretty messed up plus I have thin wide lips. Hence why he said he's sure I'll "look even better with weightloss". Also I have a really unfortunate bodytype like I described in my first post, plus while most of my body is small my shoulders are slightly above average and because of the difference and narrow hips it makes them look even wider.

I know lolcow always wants the most dramatic thing to be true, but not every problem with a relationship is because one person is abusive. Literally every time someone posts about a relationship they get told they're being "gaslighted" and manipulated.

We were already talking about attractiveness and arguing about it. It wasn't even meant as that much of a bad thing. He was saying I'd just look even better with weightloss and then everything else came out because I asked him about it.

Can you clarify what happened then? Because you put it like he outright said you're ugly and undesirable, and now you're acting like he just said you'd look better if you lost weight and you just felt like he thought you were ugly. If it's the first, that is emotionally manipulative, especially with the rest your described, but if it's the latter, you're just being overly sensitive and should deal with it.

Bullshit. Most of them get completely ignored. A ton of the time they get told they're in the wrong, and to stop being a dick to their partner.

Sometimes a post like yours gets five or six replies telling them to leave because they're clearly in a toxic relationship that is very obviously unhealthy from the outside. and then the person either replies considering the advice or they post a bunch of justifications for their partners behaviour that for anyone who's ever witnessed an abusive relationship or god forbid been in one, instantly recognises as the mindset of an abused person. Usually they get mad that other people would imply their partner is bad in any way, even though they were the one complaining in the first place.

Both really, he didn't mean for it to be an outright "you're ugly lol" but after us arguing when I asked him about it he admitted it and said that right now face wise he doesn't find me attractive at all. That he's never kept any picture I've sent him (and I have 0 pictures posted anywhere on the internet) and that the only reason he ever wanted pictures or videos was to see if I got better. He says he was happy I sent them anyway so he could see more of me but I'm not sure if I believe that tbh.

I guess it's being oversensitive but if he can't stand looking at my pictures how is he going to deal with it irl? It's not like it's something that just matters in a sexual context either. If he can't find me even the tiniest bit attractive how is he going to feel when we're talking face to face or cuddling and everything.

I told you it's mostly face, I'm not going to search the internet for someone who looks really similar to me. I have a really wide jaw and prominent chin. My mom also told me I was "so skinny" at 170 pounds and that I was "skin and bones" and shouldn't lose anymore at 130. So I'm not exactly all that sure that she's the most accurate opinion.

Also since this has happened before I'm not some "tiny kawaii asian". I have really mature features and I'm white.

All I wanted was advice on how to deal with being ugly and your partner not being attracted to you. If anything I wanted to be told to get over it and to try to accept that he wants to be with me anyway.

What it comes down to is that if your partner is deleting all your photos and did outright say that you aren't attractive to him in the slightest, yet wants to be with you for some reason, he's being manipulative. I've dated people that physically aren't that attractive looking back on it, but in the moment seemed like they were stunningly good looking and I was massively attracted to, because of who they were.

Frankly, even if this isn't some planned out manipulation tactic, the guy's being a fucking prick to you, and clearly doesn't care that much about you. You simply don't treat someone you supposedly want to be with that way, because it is abusive behaviour. Abuse isn't just some 40 year old balding redneck with a bit of a gut who beats his wife and drinks too much, it's much larger scale and more insidious than that.

I really doubt you're as ugly as you're saying you are, and until we've actually seen you it's impossible to say, but the thing is that by virtue of you apparently being someone he cares deeply about and possibly loves, you should be very attractive to him.

The fact this is upsetting you as much as it is should be proof enough that the relationship isn't healthy.

No, everyone just told you that even if you are ugly you don't deserve to be made to feel like shit by someone who's supposed to love you. Under no circumstance were the things he said to you okay. You feeling bad about them was not an unreasonable reaction.

>All I wanted was advice on how to deal with being ugly and your partner not being attracted to you.


And you got it. The advice is leave,by unanimous consensus. Neither of you will ever be happy or fulfilled. Both of you will feel like shit for the entire duration of your relationship. You will probably never believe him even if he does start to be attracted to you. and if you really think you're so awful and he's so great, why are you dragging him down? Why are you making him stay with someone so awful?

> If anything I wanted to be told to get over it and to try to accept that he wants to be with me anyway.


So what you really wanted were lies and placation, not advice. Don't ask for advice when what you really want is reassurance, because you'll probably be told something you didn't want to hear.

>I just wanted to make it clear that it wasn't just me reading into things that weren't there or "everyone is beautiful uwu" and I got that anyway.

Of course I'd be upset by getting told he doesn't find my face attractive. Even when I was super obese and I knew it getting told I was was still enough to make me feel bad. He's said that even if he doesn't think I'm super attractive face wise that he still loves me and would still want to see pictures in the future. How is that not the same as what you just said about loving someone despite that.

I was the one who brought it up and asked him to explain. I told him repeatedly to tell me his honest feelings and he did. If telling the truth when asked is abusive than abuse is a joke now.

You can doubt it all you want but legitimately ugly people exist. I'm not saying I should be beaten regularly and be forced to wear a burqa but you have to be realistic about things.

>but the thing is that by virtue of you apparently being someone he cares deeply about and possibly loves, you should be very attractive to him.


And that's what I've been telling you he's said, but according to you that's abusive and manipulative when he says it. Look this would be really helpful if this actually was an abusive relationship, but it's really not and I've never said other wise.

Because when I told him about it he said he didn't want me to leave and he's stayed and been perfectly happy for 9 months anyway.

>So what you really wanted were lies and placation, not advice. Don't ask for advice when what you really want is reassurance, because you'll probably be told something you didn't want to hear.


So anyone who doesn't say I should expect my bf to always tell me I'm the hottest woman in the universe even when I ask him to be honest is just reassuring me and lying to me? That sounds completely backwards.


>You're clearly not interested in actually improving your situation, and determined to be a victim.


I made a post in the vent thread, I was expecting one reply where I got told to get over it because looks aren't everything. I'll probably deal with it just fine eventually if he acts the same exact way as before. If everything was fine before and it's only after he said it now when I asked that I feel bad. Then if nothing changes and he really does still love me and he wasn't just pretending for some stupid reason then everything is fine.

>If that's what you took away from those posts you can add "Stupid" Under "Ugly" On your list of bad attributes.


So why am I getting a bunch of "I'm sure you're not actually ugly"? I never even really asked to be "saved." I came to vent because I forgot lolcow is officially tumblr/pull now and everything is abuse and everyone not being told they're beautiful even when they're ugly is the absolute worst thing ever. For fucks sake it was a rant I expected everyone to tldr and ignore. I wanted a place to vent hence the vent thread and not the tell me I'm being abused and that I'm actually a model thread. If I wanted that I'd go post on tumblr about how it was ableist or whatever.

Not her but that might not be entirely fair. If he called her ugly once when they were arguing it's honestly forgiveable depending on how often it comes up. I've said dumb shit to people who didn't deserve it myself.

What gets me is deleting all the photos and vids. If someone went to the trouble to take them and give them to me I'd keep them just because I'd rather not hurt their feelings.

Don't call her stupid, it's the last thing people need to hear when they already feel that awful about themselves.

Anon, you're ignoring what I said. If you love someone, you see them as attractive no matter what they actually look like, assuming you don't actually look like a gremlin.

You're giving this conflicting story of "He told me it out of nowhere and I felt it was mean and cruel", and then going "Oh it was actually my fault he said it at all", and taking all the blame away from him.

>And that's what I've been telling you he's said, but according to you that's abusive and manipulative when he says it. Look this would be really helpful if this actually was an abusive relationship, but it's really not and I've never said other wise.



No, you told us he told you he was ugly, and then jumped into highly loving and caring behaviour for a while. Going from being cruel and putting the person down straight to being extremely caring and making them feel like you actually do care is textbook abuse.

Look at how you're viewing this relationship. You're going "I'm so ugly and hopeless and generally completely undesirable, but he's so great and is an amazing person for even putting up with me", while ignoring that he's the fucking reason you feel undesirable in the relationship in the first place. It's not normal at all to delete all photos of your partner and tell them about it.

Does this sound like a happy relationship where everyone's emotionally fulfilled to you?

>I came to vent because I forgot lolcow is officially tumblr/pull now and everything is abuse


You came to a thread where it specifically says that people will try to help, and are now complaining when it's been decided by literally everyone who replied, independently mind you, that this is not a healthy relationship and that he's being manipulative towards you. Don't come here if you're just going to throw a tantrum when people tell you things you don't want to hear.

>Not her but that might not be entirely fair. If he called her ugly once when they were arguing it's honestly forgiveable depending on how often it comes up. I've said dumb shit to people who didn't deserve it myself.

I did mention this, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were both arguing, emotions were running high and insults were already being thrown and he called her ugly or something, especially if he took it back afterwards. But she says that's not what happened, and he hasn't said that he was just angry or anything, and has continued to repeat the point.

This. When we were unemployed I argued with my bf (now husband) a lot. He'd call me fat (I'm anything but), I'd call him a fish-lipped cocksucking twink (he's very much straight and I love his lips). People say very silly things when they're upset and we laugh about it later on. Unless it's something extreme like 'kill yourself, you should never have been born', I don't think people should be worrying about it. Hell, I love my brothers and I called each and every one of them smelly bags of shite at least once when they pissed me off.

I hate it how tumblr and the internet makes it out like you should always be up your partner's arse and tell them how beautiful and special they are. That's not even how friendships work, but normal adults know this and take it in stride. You can usually tell when someone's trying to purposefully offend you vs when they're just saying something because you pissed them off.

It didn't happen on lolcow, but there was a discussion about fit in a fashion community I was in and there was this one girl who wouldn't believe anyone who was 4'11 and flat chested could be anything but asian.

Show me where I said that. I didn't say it was cruel, I said it hurt. Mostly because it was true. And like the comparison I did before.

>and then jumped into highly loving and caring behaviour for a while.


That's how he is always is. Especially when I'm physically sick or I'm having problems completely unrelated to him. Hence me saying he really is a nice guy. He's been like that daily for months. I mentioned before I almost definitely have some legit mental issues before and he still puts up with it. And no he definitely hasn't said or implied I do. He's said the opposite actually.

>Look at how you're viewing this relationship.

He didn't tell me about before I asked. It came up because there was one time I looked almost cute but he wouldn't show me. So I asked so I'd know what it looked like and he admitted he didn't have any of them anymore.

For simple problems sure, but I'm not going to leave my bf I'm perfectly happy with when I've never had problems for 9 months solely because a few anons say he must be evil and abusive. I've posted in this thread before and so have plenty of other anons just to vent. Why do you even care if I'm that much of a stupid cunt then? Shouldn't I deserve to be "abused"?

If it was just advice I wouldn't care, but it's "there's no way you aren't being abused and your bf actually hates you and is evil." If you'd instantly believe and agree with random anons when they've never even met your bf you don't seem like that good of a gf. Same if you mentioned your mom called you fat when you asked and everyone said she must be abusive.

If it turns out you're right and he keeps bringing it up I'll come back and tell everyone they're all right. If he was shit or if it seemed like he was trying to hurt me I'd just block him on everything and that'd be it. I've done the same in the past and I've done it with relatives too. I can stand up for myself.

The point is that it's not normal to delete photos of your partner because you find them ugly. That's not normal in the slightest.

>For simple problems sure, but I'm not going to leave my bf I'm perfectly happy with when I've never had problems for 9 month


Come off it, you came here to rant about how you have no hope it's going to work out and how you're having problems, don't try to pretend you're in a happy relationship now and it's all be sunshine and happiness since then.

>Why do you even care if I'm that much of a stupid cunt then? Shouldn't I deserve to be "abused"?


I never said any of this anon, and I think it's telling that you jumped straight to these conclusions.

If your mum called you fat and refused to keep any photos of you because she found you so physically repulsive, yeah, people would be damn right to say she's a shitty parent and that it isn't going to be healthy for you to live with them.

I hope this is the case, but you're in a vent thread talking about how your relationship is so shit at the moment. Then when people said it could be shit because of a certain thing, you flipped out and backflipped and said it's been great for almost a year and you're going to be fine and work out and he didn't do anything wrong because its all your fault and true.

This isn't how people generally act around relationships, you're jumping around stories and so interested in defending him that your story ends up making no sense.

You do whatever you want though, ultimately it's your decision. If you enjoy being in an unhappy relationship where he clearly doesn't have any respect for you, more power to you. But don't come into a thread where people vent and others give advice, then act like we're shit people for doing just that and giving advice based on what you say and what we think. Keep a diary if you just want to vent.

>If telling the truth when asked is abusive than abuse is a joke now.

You're missing the point. What would anyone in a relationship possibly get out of telling someone that ever? The above anon said s/he was in relationships with people they were only attracted to personality wise, do you think they told their partners that? Of course not, because all that does is hurt someone's feelings and no one deserves that. There's plenty of actually ugly people out there that find love just fine, and they're being treated better than you. Let that sink in.

Why are you wasting your time defending this easily replaceable person, and why would you be attracted to his personality in any way? You feel shitty because your unconscious knows better than you, and there's no running from that. You will literally never feel good enough for this person, and that's exactly what they want.

Suggest to this person that you want to take a break to think about if you want to be with someone that doesn't find you attractive. Remain very calm and take note of his response and how controlling he may or may not get. If you really think he's a good person, go find that out.

Also you probably took a long moment to write out all those excuses for him. Do you not understand how there are billions of people on the planet? Fucking fall in love and be passionate, stop wasting your time and accepting bullshit or you will never be happy.

Lolita fashion, it's also full of tons and tons of sjws. Probably way more than the ones you've been into. It's also full of weebs, which is why that happened. Honestly I found most of the community obnoxious and my comm has some of the worst sjws despite being a stereotypically conservative state, but I love the fashion way too much to care. Honest discussion about the fashion itself is pretty rare outside of cgl and even then there's a ton of drama and "racism/slut shaming/fat hating" debates.

It has been, but if something big happens like that you get nervous and confused and wonder if things will change or if everything was fake. Even if it's something as harmless as being told their spaghetti is great when your family just thinks it's mediocre can cause some people to feel bad. Have you seriously never ranted about something that you normally love ever? Not even complained about a family member you loved?

>I never said any of this anon, and I think it's telling that you jumped straight to these conclusions.

But if she only said it when you asked and you're literally twice the recommended weight than you'd be an idiot to cut her off for that. The pictures thing doesn't really compare unless you're sending them several times a month when she asks so she can see your progress and cheer you on. And it's not like I think he'd take down any of pictures of me irl, he just didn't save the photos for a long period of time. I've personally saved literally everything he sent and even wrote down a lot of the things he's said so part of it is probably just me having a different viewpoint.

>Then when people said it could be shit because of a certain thing, you flipped out and backflipped and said it's been great for almost a year and you're going to be fine and work out and he didn't do anything wrong because its all your fault and true.

I literally asked for it repeatedly. Have you never heard of the phrase curiosity killed the cat? How it can not be at least partially my fault? It's also objectively true. It's not like he's calling me fat at 70 pounds. You can't get mad at someone for calling you fat when you're 250 pounds and asking for honest opinions and the same applies here.

>You will literally never feel good enough for this person, and that's exactly what they want.

If that's true why give me all those compliments months before this happened then? He always tells me the exact opposite and tries to raise me up. He even argues with me for hours if I start felling bad about being completely titless.

>Also you probably took a long moment to write out all those excuses for him.

I'm just a really slow typer and it's 11:30 when I normally go to sleep at 6:00 and wake up really early.

I told you if he really does start acting shady I'll come back and beg for forgiveness, but this is literally the only thing he's ever done in 9 months. I'm not going to dump my boyfriend that I love over one comment that I told him to be completely honest about and anons told me I'm being abused. Now I'm really going to bed like I should've done right after I posted this, but once again curiosity kills the cat.

You're really set on justifying why what he's doing is okay. It's not normal to delete all photos of your partner, and you have to wonder why he's with you if he finds you so repulsive he can't even bear to keep photos of you.

>It's also objectively true. It's not like he's calling me fat at 70 pounds. You can't get mad at someone for calling you fat when you're 250 pounds and asking for honest opinions and the same applies here


For one, you've not actually given any reason why you'd be so disgusting apart from that apparently you've got a slightly masculine face. Which lots of women do. And you're acting like you're some super fat person when he's encouraging weightloss when you weigh around 100lbs. You're not obese at that weight.

And I've dealt with partners who bug you about their looks, and honestly, how you feel about them impacts how you see them. If I'm in love with someone, they seem like incredibly attractive people, even though in hindsight they aren't. It gets to the point where it's annoying when people bug me about it, because the answer's not going to change. Why would he be with you if he found you so repulsive?

>>105357
Nowhere near most posts get met with a "they're abusive" thing, most are generally considered to be something normal that just has to be worked through, and both are at fault. Often it's the posters fault. In this case however, either she's presenting it in a completely inaccurate way, or he's being really fucking strange, and her behaviour afterwards suggests it's the second. It's not normal to act the way she did in defence of a relationship, she changed her story and pretty clearly lied about the state it's in to make it sound better. It reads much more like her trying to convince herself than anyone else.

I have the most unfortunate body shape on the planet, holy shit.
I'm petite with a small bust, small shoulders, narrow hips and ankles except for my massive gut, ass and thighs. I have colitis so I've always had a bulging belly, even as a kid. I can stick it out so it looks like I'm in my second trimester, that's how bad it is. If I find trousers that fit, I'm gonna have a horrible muffin top. If I wear high-waisted anything, it's gonna make my thighs look massive by compressing my waist. If I wear jeggings, it does literally nothing for my thighs.

I know I only have myself to blame for not double-checking everything, but I've been working so hard to stay afloat money-wise that I thought I could splurge on this small item. But now I've wasted so much money!

Selfies are an easier subject to 'like' on facebook because all it's doing is reaffirming someone else's confidence and looks. Typically doesn't have much to do with the person liking the photo, and it makes them feel good about giving the 'like' to begin with.

Giving likes to vacation photos, talents, etc. well…it probably makes people, even for just a moment, feel a little inadequate. As if they should be taking the vacations or honing a talent. For that moment 'liking' pictures like that is a bit more difficult. Wasn't there a study about facebook feeds that showed people who spent more time on facebook were more likely to be depressed because essentially they saw the majority of good happening to everyone else?

It's just a theory but I stand by that. I get way more likes on pictures of myself than I do of things I've done and shit I'm working on.

I really feel like an ass for even wanting people to pay attention to me tbh. It's not just this one photoset people have ignored. I'm just meant to be ignored. I will NEVER be the shining star for anyone ever. It's not just facebook likes. People will say "oh facebook likes aren't everything", but they're usually the people who get a lot of likes on everything they say or do. It's how my brother's always been the performer, and I've always been the quiet kid. How my parents would push him into doing singing and theater just because he could tell a joke, even though he hated it, and even though I wanted to get into it, they decided it just wasn't for me. Or how when my brother and a cousin and I were playing in the park, all the adults were focused on how cute it was that the other 2 were playing together, and no one noticed when i, just wanting to practise tumbling on the grass, finally got that really hard pass i'd been practicing for weeks. It doens't matter what I do. I'm always going to be invisible girl. Even to my boyfriend I feel invisible most of the time. Like if I just faded away no one would even notice tbh.

Wanting attention is perfectly normal, anon. It's what you do to get it that matters. Ofc I'm going to shit on some bimbo who sucks dicks on camera for money, blogs about it and calls it progressive feminism. If someone's an overachiever and shills their art a lot (not saying you do, just saying some artists do) I'm not going to mind because I know their monthly income depends on it. I don't even mind Kimonotime or shitty tumblr artists doing it, because they're creating something not totally shitty and visibly putting in effort.
Being ignored doesn't feel good and we shouldn't just settle for being 'the invisible girl'. It's also not fair to have less of a say in certain matters than other people. People throw around the term LOL ATTENTION WHORE a lot but there's a lot of middle ground between people like Sheena (for example) and normal people.

That said, I'm in the same boat. I think a part of it has to do with your confidence, or lack thereof. Maybe your parents ignored you and you just kind of grew to accept it (in my case, mine were too preoccupied with their bitter divorce). Idk what else to say except I feel you 100%, I'd love to know what to do as well. I used to be more assertive in primary school but other kids just shut me out and said i was annoying whilst the girl next door would even get fucking claps for telling the exact same joke.

Art I post on tumblr goes unnoticed because it's not tumblr enough. Maybe I should draw trans Link with leg stubble and a big red nose.

I'm not even a good artist. But I see scribbles way worse then mine with tons of notes. People with all of the talent of a handicapped second grader getting commissions. It's really disheartening. I'm not looking to get paid for half-assed pokemon and Zelda fanart. But it would be nice to get noticed by people who aren't already my friends.

Same with fanfiction. That climate has changed. I imagine I'd get thousands of notes telling me how horrible I am for not headcanoning so and so trans or pairing a character with another character they don't like or is "abusive" in some way.

I don't do selfies. But I think people just want to bolster each others confidence. That's why you see fat girls with bad wardrobe decisions getting fawned over. Maybe the commenters see themselves in that because they look similar and it's like giving themselves a thumbs up too.

A year later and I still have a morbid curiosity about my ex and his gf. I google her name in every possible combination. I found her family on facebook and their respective jobs. I found her on tripadvisor. I'm trying so hard to find stuff about her or him. But he's very minimal on the internet (unlike me who grazes here and there), and I dunno about her.

I wish I could hack into her account and see pictures, chat messages, posts, etc.

The thing is I wouldn't even "do" anything with the information. I just want to know it.

I'm also struggling af because I'm chubby/fat/curvy/whatever you want and my ex always loved my body and I was like wow, maybe there is something to love after all. And his gf is hella skinny (honestly I'm 100% she used to be/recovering anorexic) and she's athletic so she's really fit, too. We also have similar tastes and such.

Like it hurts enough when your ex you still want has someone else but if they are totally different then it's somewhat comforting for you, but when the other person is like a 2.0 version of yourself then I just want to fling myself off a roof. I'm caught in this paradox of "if I lose weight he won't find me attractive anymore (which is bullshit, I know, I know)" and "if I lose weight he'll think like whoah she looks great" and he'll be used to skinny sex so I won't be far from what he had.


My brain is all sorts of fucked up and honestly I only feel comfortable sharing it here because none of my friends could even understand how these feel. They just don't get the thought process and logic because idk none of them are as fucked up as I am.

I'm pretty over it at some point it gets boring to obsess about people who don't give a fuck about you and also going outside/exercising helps.

He's directly interacting with a naked woman and giving her money in exchange for a type of sexual interaction.

He probably sees it as just another type of porn, she obviously sees it as something much more personal. It's a gray area and assuming he falls on the same side of the fence as she does can be a fatal mistake.

No. 106474

They don't have "incompatible views", they have different perspectives. He drew the porn-qualifying line a little further away than she's comfortable with. He didn't rob a liquor store or sleep with somebody else behind her back, this dilemma's open to a lot of interpretation on either side. Stuff like that's completely normal. They can move past it by having a constructive and to-the-point conversation about the issue at hand.

If she sees it as a problem then she should make it clear why exactly she thinks it's offensive and how important the positive resolution of the issue's is to their relationship. He'll probably argue his point, she'll probably argue back, that's how a lot of social progress is made.

As in it'd be an instant break up for me, not you or her. Again you're free to go do whatever you want but your definition of infidelity will not change mine.

>Stuff like that's completely normal.


So is having sex with other people. That doesn't mean it has to be a part of anyone's relationship if they don't want it to be.

Again discussing what she should do is pointless because she already said she wouldn't do anything. Telling someone they're being stupid for feeling like they're being cheated on because "everyone does it" and it means nothing to you isn't going to change how she feels because she isn't you. If she was she wouldn't be saying she felt it was worse.

No one is going on a witch hunt for everyone who watches it or is demanding everyone who knows their bf/husband is doing it break up with them. You're completely free to do whatever you want in your relationship, but saying no one should ever feel uncomfortable or break up because of it is like someone telling you if you even look at another person you're cheating.

Everybody knows the baseline rules of what's universally considered cheating, but odds are your partner will have a slightly different idea as to what exactly constitutes crossing certain boundaries. If you want them to respect and understand your specific definition of cheating then you have to tell them what it is.

I'm the one who told her she had absolutely zero self respect if she stayed.

So far the dog has gone for two kids and the mail lady. The mail lady maced it and ripped into the neighbors about it and the kids happened to be getting in a car so their mom could take them to school so they could shut the door on the thing. Despite knowing this, the owners won't do a damn thing.

They deny they own the dog but the whole neighborhood knows. Besides, the law says they are legally responsible for the dog since they've taken care of it for a certain amount of days. So they're still stuck with the dog either way.

I'll look into contacting cops. Given that it has tried going after children, they should come get it. I've been going outside every now and then to check on the cats while watching for the dog. No more have disappeared so far but that dog…just eugh. It's gotta go.

But for my brother's 16th birthday they got him a racing bike. He doesn't want it, he has a regular bike that he likes to ride, but a fancy bike is too much for him. I backed him up with telling our mum that he didn't want it, and they should return it. She got so annoyed with us and was like "well then I'll never buy you two presents again!" when I tried explaining to her that you shouldn't buy extravagant things for someone without their consultation when they expressed no interest. Now we've found out that they're paying £50 monthly for it and it's worth about £500. It's just such an awkward situation that I can relate all too much to. They bought me a £35 a month contract phone when I was asbout my brother's age. It was a shitty phone, you didn't get much for what you paid and I had no fucking friends to use it with anyway. Just an absolute waste of money, but I pretended it was all good despite the fact I'd have been able to get by on £5 credit a month.

We don't even get to skype much because different time zones and I'm at work all the time. But when we do we're on the thing for like 3 hours, and that helps. Sending each other photos, or even just little messages when we know the other isn't around is nice too. Or tagging each other in funny things on facebook so the other can come home to it/wake up to it. All that helps a bit.

I have an extreme phobia of having a seizure fam.

Ever since I started SSRIs and another drug for my depression/anxiety I know my brain is being rewired. I'm fully aware of what the side effects are, and if(when) I develop a tolerance to these drugs and up the dosage, the probability increases. With every single speck of aura, or a "rolling" sensation on top of my head I fully prepare to collapse and wake up potato like PT at bathtime. It never comes though, to my knowledge. I've read accounts of people who seize often and they say they don't remember the episode or that it doesn't hurt them, but with others it does and they're fully cognitive during it.

The concept completely horrifies me, as I believe if a brain is damaged the person will objectively not be the person they were before. All of who we are is our brain.

The college is one big hugbox where if you even remotely hurt someone's feelings they tell some type of "safespace" organization about you and they come to talk to you about it until you promise to never say anything offensive again. How do some of these students function when people disagree with them? They act like everyone is supposed to hold hands and just love one another constantly.

My tuition is covered by a scholarship so I don't have to worry about debt or anything but…sometimes I wonder if I'm even ready to be in a university. I know that if I get a degree then I at least have a better chance at getting a job that pays above minimum wage.

I personally didn't get in touble but I've heard about other people who have. On the tours they give new students they showed us the safespace place to us and explained what they do some months back. It's like a bunch of tumblrinas founded the thing. I sat there and thought "what the actual fuck? This is real life, why are you guys this sensitive?" I wish I could test the waters and say something offensive but who knows how far they'll escalate it cause they address professors for having different opinions too.

>>107074
The whole experience is new to me. I'm used to a giant city and now it's somewhere small compared to where I grew up so i don't know anyone at all(i assume that will change really fast tho).

I know what I want to study and all that I just don't wanna be one of those people who waste scholarship money by dropping out. Someone gave me that money to go to school, not dick around and quit. The people who gave me the scholarship probably know I won't quit but sometimes I feel like that's what will happen.

Maybe i need time to adjust to everything. I always hear that uni sucks at first but gets better once you're used to it and have a friend or two. Was it tough for at first Anon or did you adjust pretty quick?

>Had a casual thing with him last year, but he disappeared from my life for 3 months due to a busy work schedule
>During these months, a mutual friend (girl he'd previously done stuff with) went nuts due to jealousy issues, could fill out 50 A4 pages with this shit incident
>Managed to partially convince me that he didn't give two fucks about me and only acted friendly so I'd suck his dick
>3 months later, we started talking again, girl had left both of our lives right at the start of his absence, he had no idea what had happened
>He started getting distant after this, never responded when I told him I missed him, never really reacted when I told him I was still kind of messed up from the things that girl told me (never went into details other than telling him I really just wanted to see him again)
>6 months later (2 weeks ago), we were supposed to share a room at a convention
>He had to bail because he'd quit his job and started up a business, so he was busy training his employees
>Upset since I was still dealing with the above confusion and emotional issues after the incident last year, and because I miss spending time with him
>Met mutual friend at con who tells me he didn't quit any job and was just making excuses, so I snapped
>Got in contact with him and flipped out cause I don't like being lied to, I was angry and sad and very worried that he had actually just been playing a cruel joke on me and since then lost interest

Here's where the guilty feels come in
>He did quit his job, he's just closed off and doesn't give his full job details to anyone. I'm one of the few people he'd given his previous job deets to.
>The jealous girl from last year had gotten him banned from a ton of his hobby communities and fucked up a lot of his personal life as a way of taking revenge cause he rejected her
>Was too busy being crushed that he'd lost a lot of aspects of his life to really have the energy to listen to the crap the girl had put me through as well
>He's distant because he probably won't live to see his kid become an adult, and stressed because of work
>He always assumed that all the times I told him I missed him, that I was just talking about his dick, and not him
>Promised to be more considerate to me now that he realised I genuinely care
>Gave me a massive apology and wouldn't accept my "fuck I'm a piece of shit" response

And finally
>He is considering proposing to his girlfriend and no longer have an open relationship
>Super happy for him and really hope he'll do so as he deserves to settle down and enjoy what's left with the people he loves, even if it means I'm not a part of it
>It probably means I won't ever see him again
>He doesn't want to go to cons anymore, I suspect it's due to the drama the jealous girl caused has just put him off
>We live far away from each other and don't have room to house each other in case of a visit, so we only hang out together in hotel rooms which will look sketch af once he's married

I probably deserve losing one of the best friends I've ever had, cause my god I am such a horrible idiot.

Here's a nice bonus though
>Saw the jealous girl at the con he and I were supposed to have shared rooms at
>She's gotten fat as fuck since the last time we saw her, was walking around in a skimpy outfit with cellulite spilling out everywhere
>She was alone 50% of the time I saw her that weekend (as she's lost a lot of friends over her bullshit attitude), other 50% of the time she was hanging with her asshole beta boyfriend and creepy beta brolita friend who wants to fuck her, she was looking miserable every time I saw her

>one girl he had sexual relations with got angry bc apparently he didn't make it clear enough that he was not planning on being monogamous w/ her
She's clearly angry with him. Maybe the reason why she sent you that warning was because that is frankly the way he made her feel. What kind of man makes a woman feel that way if he's an open communicator and has his bases covered?
I don't see how a terminal illness should grant him permissions to be a dick.
>he intermittently talks to you while abandoning you months at a time
Not a good friend to you. You are the standby girl.
>mutual friend tells you that you were lied to by this guy
It's his word against theirs. You only know what he tells you and it seems to me that the first girl's "lies" wouldn't hold much clout with other members in the hobby community–unless those people had evidence to believe he was in fact deserving of the bans. I mean the girl herself doesn't have allies that powerful, right? Since she's alone 50% of the time.
>He's distant because he probably won't live to see his kid become an adult
Doesn't make any sense. Unless he just wants to look like the "family man" and can't have his mistresses around much anymore. Would surely confuse his kid.
>I told him I missed him, that I was just talking about his dick
Omg don't believe this lie!
>we can only hang out together in hotel rooms
Anon no…

>you say you're a piece of shit though you've done nothing wrong

Anon you don't deserve assholes for friends. You're a genuine person that deserves friends who can at least be assed to send you a message a few times a week. You care about others even if they're not perfect, but it doesn't mean you deserve to get abuse in return. Get some self-respect. Dude's an ass and not the person you thought he was. He doesn't deserve YOU.

Thank you for the response anon <3 I did have a feeling I'd probably get a "dump his ass" type of reply as the situation is a lot more complex than what I wrote down, but I appreciate it.
He is honestly a good and honest guy who has helped me with a ton of issues I've got, has provided me with legit proof (some that I'd like to forget) of some of his claims - For example when he was gone for 3 months. Going into details will make this post unnecessarily long, but he had his reasons, and it was very much out of his control sadly.
And the girl from last year is 100% confirmed crazy and was openly jealous of the friendship I had with the guy (We're talking lolcow levels of nuts).
We've all got issues, the guy and myself are both self destructive and cope with it each our way, the girl has a big victim complex and will go dangerously low in order to get sympathy.

Again, I could fill 50 A4 pages with everything that's happened over the last year between the three of us (technically 4 since the girl pulled the exact same shit on the next person she hooked up with after they dumped her a month later).
Actually had written out an absolutely massive wall of text that detailed just a little bit of everything, but man, it's just way too much. I feel slightly embarrassed for posting now since I can agree he sounds like an ass when most of the story is summarised into multiple single sentences.

Should also mention that things have been a lot better between the guy and myself since I snapped at him. One of his coping methods is just him being an asshole to avoid getting hurt any further, but since he realised I was actually serious with him and not just flirting, he has gotten a lot more considerate towards me. I'll continue to care about him and root on him from the sidelines and hope that myself and our mutual friends can convince him to be social again once he's settled down.
I know I shouldn't feel guilty, but I just don't have the self-worth to be able to let go whenever I get mad at my friends even after we've sorted it out. It feels nice to have other people besides him tell me to not feel awful about it. Thank you.

I agree with >>107162 . He was not a good and honest guy if he's been stringing you along like this. TBH he sounds a bit like a narcissist. Stop calling him a good and honest guy when you've documented already that he's not. Just because he "helped" you through a few issues don't mean shit. Some guys really like helping out so they can look like the saviour because those not in the know will believe the sun shines out his ass, and so that anyone they did fuck over (like you and the "crazy" mutual friend) will have their sides of the story discounted.
Having you snap at him like you were done and reeling you back in is another NPD thing. He'll wear you down like he did the mutual friend and keep spreading shit to make you look crazy when you actually do call him out and bounce if you don't do it now, and that's if he's not already doing it.
Just let him go be a douche somewhere else.

Ugh what is it about summer that brings out the shittiest drivers?
So uh I start my workday late and miss the morning commute (because LOL morning joint stiffness lol), but when I've gotten out on the road it's all elderlies and unemployed dudes with power trip issues and stoners. Sos having to beep repeatedly at people after the light's turned green (one last week I could smell weed from his car would slow down at EVERY stoplight even if it was green, and at red lights turning green i had to beep repeatedly and creep up on his ass before he would fucking go), people who drive 20mph in a 30 zone but suddenly when you're trying to get past them can drive faster, people pulling way too far onto the main road out of side streets but not actually going anywhere so you've got to swerve around them, and just… everyone on the road is stupid. Oh yeah and minivan drivers are usually tailgating assholes even if I'm going 10 faster than the speed limit. Like wtf… gotta hurry up and get your kids to soccer practice i guess but gosh they're the worst.
Also pedestrians now are retarded but maybe that's because I'm driving in really hood places. When they cross against signal and just stare you down while doing it, or wander out into the middle of the road like cattle and walk slow af… I kind of want to rev my engine at these people to see if that will make them clear out faster, but with how often people do it I'd be wasting a fuckton of gas.
I like my job and I like that they've been willing to be flexible with my schedule, but I come from really far away and I'm thinking I might need to look for work closer to home, because my commute everyday is bullshit tbh.

I've been off antidepressants for a bit over a year now and I'm starting to get horny again, which I'm thankful for. The problem is all I can think about is sex. I can't go out without thinking about fucking. It's especially jarring because I went so long without having a libido of any kind only for it to come back very suddenly and intensely. I have some compulsions to act on them and plenty of opportunities to do so but the last time I had sex was so tremendously awkward and embarrassing.
On top of that, I'm afraid that being sexually inexperienced for my age (23) is a complete turn off and will only make any new experiences awkward as fuck. Idk, I'm terrified of being shitty in bed so I don't have sex, but my sex drive is getting really hard to ignore.

Kinda wish I could go back to being a sexless blob now.

Have you spoken to your doctor about it? If you're getting sexual desires that bother you day to day and it's been a year since you've been on any medication, it's not likely to be related.

Unless you just mean you're not used to having sexual desire so it's weird or something like that.

I feel ungrateful.
My relationship with my dad is rocky because of overprotection, him limiting me and not letting me be independent, as he says, until I have a husband to escort me everywhere in place of my parents.
I'm moving out in September and haven't told him yet.
Imagining his reaction, i started thinking of all the good things he's done and the sacrifices I'd heard my dad had made for his children, and how he's going to feel when I tell him I'm rejecting his ways by moving out.
And I was going through my phone and watched the happy birthday video my dad had sent me again and I feel bad about how little effort I put in to appreciating my dad and how this might affect him next month. At the same time I remember the reasons I'm moving out and I don't know how to think clearly.
I'm just rambling but I'm confused and having conflicting thoughts.

Moving out is definitely happening, I've paid. But I'm scared of doing such a big thing. Its going to cause a whole scandal. I don't want to ruin family relationships, and even though it doesn't seem like I have much of one with my dad I don't want him to disown me. He's going to think I hate him.
Maybe it won't turn out that bad when the time comes next month, but while trying to prepare myself for this I have become scared.

This is so petty, but my jimmies were rustled at work this morning. A woman in my office got her hair colored "silver" last night, except she was complaining about it because it was a more blue-grey than the silver she wanted. So I asked what the stylist did, seeing as how I had silver hair myself for over a year and went through various shades of it because I mostly did it myself outside of an initial salon bleaching, so I could give her tips to get it the color she wanted (pic attached was what I believe she showed me; hers was, however, some weird blue grey/brown ombre? and in some areas it was swampy-looking. Overall, not the best.)

Basically what her stylist did was strip her hair (which was originally a red-brown) and I think simultaneously dyed it the grey and brown together? And she still had red/brown tones left in her hair from the stripping? Like, that should be clue one that it won't turn out how you want. I told her that it probably was not lifted enough and that they should have used a violet shade instead one in the blue range, but after she washed it would potentially fade to what she wanted. She said they used purple and it turned her hair purple, so I rephrased and said a cooling violet toner to which she says that is what they used (after first saying it was a dye) made her turn purple, which I am going to hardcore doubt because I've left that shit on for an hour and yeah there was a tint to it, but it wasn't full-blown purple. I was confused about the overall process but it sounded an awful lot like both her and the stylist didn't have a firm grasp on what they were doing.

She also said that if it was going to be a lot of work and fade out easily she'd dye over it, to which I almost laughed in her face because silver tends to fade like a fucker, even with toning shampoos. I don't think she researched anything regarding upkeep and the like for it. My favorite part was, however, that after she had left the room my supervisor commented on how she was lucky it didn't just turn her hair green with how many red tones were left in it.

The kicker overall, however, was that she got it redyed to full-on brown over her lunch hour because she was so unhappy with it and wouldn't listen to either my advice (which, yeah, sure. Understandable. I'm the youngest person there and she has a tendency to think she knows better) or anyone else in the office to wash it out a few times and see if she liked it then. Maybe even keep it for the weekend. She literally did not have the silver for 24 hours. I'm honestly curious as to how much money she wasted on this.

But, like, there's a strong part of me that wants to fully re-grey my hair again (it's currently ashy blonde with, surprise surprise–subtle grey/silver streaks so it's more ash than blonde… so it wouldn't be too hard) just to show her that I know what I'm talking about.

(My god, that was a ramble. Sorry about that.)

It sucks that people who were so close to you they wouldn't just finish your sentence, they knew what your sentence would be, are now just basically strangers and you feel so awkward talking to them.

Unrelated to that it was my birthday yesterday and I know it sounds pathetic but I always wished that one day I'd have the type of friends who would have a surprise outing for me or would say "yeah let's go out and celebrate!!!!" like it doesn't have to be about gifts, just the gesture. And I turned 26 and I still don't have them. One year nobody at all apart from very immediate family wished me happy birthday.

Are those friends just myths? The friend group that all pool cash to buy you a concert ticket because you're going through stuff or it's your bday? The friend that shows up at your door with chocolate and food to comfort you or just because they wanna hang out? The friend that will go out of their way to show you that they care for you? or the one that considers you a best friend, not just you thinking of them that way, but a mutual feeling.

There was a gay pride parade in my town today, and a really close friend of mine asked me to come because she had noone to go there with. I declined. She did go there with someone else, however, so i didn't feel guilty or anything. But… When my friend got back home and messaged me, it came out she went with a former best friend of mine who was spreading rumors about me lately; she doesn't know about that, though. It didn't help at all that another close friend of mine was hanging out with my former best friend when she got there. I hoped that I could introduce them (close friends) to each other soon, but - nope.

I feel horrible and replaced, even though I don't get easily jealous - but the close friend, the first one, said the three of them had a blast, so this really hurts. I can't discuss it with anyone I know because they would come to the very conclusion that I'm a petty dumbass. I have a reputation of a pretty chill person, and I definitely don't want to ruin that.

I feel the same.

I used to be obsessed with being popular and how I looked especially online, tried to really present an image. Now I'm the total opposite, I never post anything online, I'm terrified of life feeling superficial. I read loads of philosophy at university which i think contributed to feeling like this…all I do is deconstruct things.

Yep.
I envy my classmates with long-term friendships, steady jobs, trips to London every month, posting pictures from Switzerland and Croatia (#blessed), etc etc.

I got fired twice this summer (first was a 'training period' scam where they have candidates lined up and have each of them working unpaid for a week and then fire them when they get the next in line, second was a very physical job that I just couldn't do), my nan died 2 weeks ago but I feel stupid complaining about it, everyone got to see their parents this summer except me because I'm poor.
I spent my holiday foraging around a nearby forest and taking pictures of plants at 5AM because I'd fuck all else to do. I wanted to go rockhounding with my bf but he only wants to sit inside and I can't drive so I can't go anywhere by myself (I live in God's Arsehole, population: 5). My only friend is working non stop. The friends I used to have are all busy so I stopped bothering. One girl in particular seems to be avoiding me as much as possible so I stopped contacting her.

I've never been and never will be normal.
As a child we moved around all the time and I was heavily bullied in primary school for being from a certain social class so I never had the pleasure of making friends for life. Even my parents have a more vivid social life than me. I might as well not exist at all.

Is it a cultural thing anon?
I'm somewhat similar with the overprotective dad, but I moved out at 21 and I made my views clear on wanting to leave earlier, so I always threatened it until one day I lived up to it.
Well, good luck either way. The sense of freedom once you do move is amazing.

Yes, it's mostly a cultural thing from my dad's country, which forbids girls from moving away from family or being alone until they're married themselves. Then it's the shame of that rejection, and what my dad's friends will think, which he says will make him want to die. After that it's actual worries about the dangers of me living indepently.

When I expressed wanting to move out my dad said if I rejected his culture I would lose him as a parent, and that scares me. I don't want to upset him after all his efforts as a parent. But at the same time I want that freedom, like you said, and I ultimately don't want to be a part of my dad's culture.
It's nice to hear that it worked out for you, how did your dad react?

I'm going to the movies tomorrow with a guy from my RP group, and i'm terrified he'll start hitting on me… Fuck, i just wanted to use these free movie tickets and he asked me, so i thought "whatever, it's just a friend i play Dungeons and Dragons shit with". I have 0% romantic or sexual interest in this guy, and he's started to act awkward and "protective" around me, and sometimes flirt very obviously.
I just wanna go see the new Star Trek with my nerd friends without it being weird, like i used to when i was a teenager. I never had a problem with "being the only girl" in a group of friends before. I have no idea how to respectfully reject a guy i'm not interested in, what if he does something super obvious and uncomfortable?
I've seen him hit on one of my friends before (2-3 yrs ago), he was insanely creepy that time, even though she rejected him over and over…
I just don't want him to interpret going to the movies with me as me "being interested", ffs i just wanna hang out like a normal person.

I've been with my darling man for approx 3 years now. He's the nicest guy you'll ever meet. We function more then most couples since we rarely fight and it has pretty much been drama free even since start, I'm lucky to have him, I truly am.

Now to what I really want to vent about;
I easily crush on people, to this day. It's never anything I take seriously, it's like yeah I'm having one of those periods again it will blow over, to be clear I never act on them since they are just silly infatuations. There's only one guy for me. But lately this certain guy gets a bit too far into my head. It's a mutual friend of ours. He has said some weird shit to me like, I'm his ideal girl, "you're one of few girls you can talk to fuck ur awesome etc etc", gets a bit too close sometimes and such. Maybe I'm reading too much into it since 95% time he's all memes and shit, idk. What really bothers me is that I'm really attracted to this guy, and I think more about it than I should. Im not worried about doing some stupid shit but at this point it's becoming borderline annoying n fucking with my head since I can't seem to help it, ugh

Hmm unfortunately there's always a possibility unless he's given you nothing but brotherly vibes…even then there's still a possibility. I've had to deal with that sort of thing a couple of times and both times I did the same thing and got different reactions. I let them know that I like hanging out with him but really just like him as a friend and am not interested in any sort of romantic relationship. Guy A was Ok with it and we went on as usual. Guy B said he was Ok with it but talked shit about me to everyone else saying that we fucked. Had to leave that whole group behind. You're in a tough situation anon. Maybe you can "subtly" say how cool it is to have a good friend like him to watch nerdy movies with.

>>107539
I tend to have immovable grudges as well. Have you tried talking to your bf in a non-blaming or confrontational way about his father? You may have to compromise if your bf seriously wants him for the wedding though. It'll be hard but try your best to avoid the guy. I recommend NOT getting to shit-faced or some emotions may boil out that you will regret later. I also recommend having something, anything, to relieve some stress in a physical way. Squeeze the shit out of a stress ball. Get a voodoo doll or something and stab with a fork under the table. Breathe, count to 10, and just focus on the happiness of your bf. Weddings are stressful enough without having to think of terrible people. And congratulations!

He's just something new, and the reason he probably is he in your head is because he boosted your self esteem through compliments etc. He doesn't seem that great as a friend considering he's telling you this stuff while he knows you're relationship with someone else, who is HIS FRIEND. I would cut contact. Don't ruin a good relationship for someone who can't even respect another person's relationship. Stop being friends with him.

I have stopped deriving pleasure in almost everything in my life. I'm not interested in anything. Nothing gives me any lasting joy. I barely eat. Sometimes if I'm with other people, I can kind of forget about the emptiness, but it always finds its way back.

I feel isolated even if I'm not alone. I keep telling myself it's okay to be single, that finding that special someone isn't important, but it's only to cover up the real truth of being unwanted.

Ever since I started questioning if I really do work towards my goals/hobbies, it's given me thought as to what exactly I want in my life, but it feels like nothing is fulfilling. I think my overall hyperanalytical/critical personality along with awful shit going on in my family (grandma dying, mom losing her own mind due to divorce) is slowly draining me.

I'm having a night where I'm just feeling more isolated than usual. I had a lot of friends at uni, but moving back to my hometown, I just don't feel like I relate to anyone. Friend from uni came to visit this weekend while on family vacation, and that was honestly the best time I've had since I went to visit all of them. My brother doesn't speak to me much. I used to be close with his friends but they've all gotten on the preachy hippie trend, and most of them don't work anyway so they don't get when I can't do stuff because I've got work. I had one other close friend, but he got a girlfriend last year and kind of just crawled up her vagina and died tbh… I haven't seen him since October. We made plans to hang out at hallowe'en last year and he blew me off because he had just met her. No "sorry this came up" or anything. And I just don't know how to meet people anymore… everyone at work is either much older or much younger. Every bar I've gone to in the area is full of creepy dudes who get mad when I don't want to give them my phone number right away, or who go on about how sad it is that I've got a boyfriend (lol that might change soon though), and no one sees me as a person instead of a fuckable object.
I just want to move back "home", where I had friends and could go to the pub feeling safe and where my boyfriend is at, but I'm thinking about brekaing up with him anyway, so that'll be out of the picture. He graduated last month, hasn't really done much looking for work, has been talking for months about how he needs to get his portfolio together but hasn't done so much besides playing vidya, and while I really get on with him better than anyone else, I'm worried he's got no ambition in his life and is ok with that because where he lives the government will just help everyone out even if they don't want to work. And when he had his birthday night out, he was upset about how only 3 people showed up, how the most people he's ever had show up for a thing is 7. 3 people have never showed up to a birthday night out for me. I've invited my entire friends list before to things and had no one show up. And he knows this. It was a really insensitive thing for him to bitch about to me. He does and says insensitive shit like that a lot but expects a writeoff because not neurotypical, and I just don't know if I can handle it anymore.
I'm having trouble at work too. I think my office manager is going to try and sabotage the project that the president of the company wants me to do. She already gets pissy about me doing certain bits of work, and won't let me touch certain spreadsheets even though I need those spreadsheets to complete projects, so I have to do a lot behind her back, which i feel terrible about but in reality she's retiring in 6 months anyway and it shouldn't bother her so much that we're transitioning things over to a different system. I just don't get it. I've been looking for a new job for months, but my industry isn't a good one to be in just now.
I feel 100% invisible right now too, like to everyone, and none of my concerns get heard anywhere.
I'm just in a really bad place now and I want out. FFS.

I don't really know what to do anymore.
My boyfriend has diagnosed depression (was diagnosed ~3 months ago, believes he's had it longer though) and has been on medication since, also had his dosage increased since.

I very much love him and want to support him, but I don't know how much longer I can deal with it.
He failed his second year of university because he simply didn't have the drive to get up and go. He missed the entire year.
He got diagnosed a few months after that, and ever since this all started happening everything has started going down the fucking drain.

He's super lazy, (yes I know depression can do this to people, but it's a whole 'nother fucking level) has no motivation, drive or ambition, constantly telling me he's going to fail again next year (he opted to repeat the year, but is already telling me he's gonna fail) and occasionally tells me he wants to kill himself; to where I threaten to ring the police if he is serious about it.
He stopped going to the gym, his diet has gone to shit, and we have next to no sex life with him being in this state and me being almost constantly angry around him as I just feel like I'm a fucking servant at this point.
All I seem to do is make him meals and be at his beck and call. He's messy as fuck too so all I'm doing these days is working, making meals, cleaning. Rinse and repeat.
He's usually not even grateful for what I make him because I refuse to use up most IF NOT ALL of my food to feed his ass.

He still lives with his mum, but I let him stay with me most of the week because they have a shitty relationship. But he doesn't contribute to food costs and eats an ungodly amount of food to point where I'm almost cleaned out of all my food every week.
He can't keep a job because of this depression.
Spends what money he has on fast food and video games.

He has lost basically all of his friends because he made no effort to keep in contact with them, and when they reached out to him, he just flat out ignored them.

He won't go to counselling because he believes his depression is purely "clinical" and that he doesn't need it.
I have seen no improvement since he's been medicated, if anything it's worse.

I don't know what to do with myself because whenever we're together I'm so irritated because I know I'm just going to have to be running around doing shit for him. This is gonna sound fucking terrible but I really do think he hypes up his depression when it's around me, because he knows I'll do anything for him.
Maybe that's just my fault then, idk.

He's really sweet and loving, but this whole state of mental illness is just really fucking shit. Him being like that all the time and me being constantly irritated when he's around is just draining and I want to break away; but idk how vulnerable he really is.
Another thing that fucks me off is that I have terrible anxiety, and he always used to (and occasionally still does) belittles it and treats it like it's not as valid as his "depression".

Ugh, idk.
I'll probably get shat on for seeming like such a doormat, but honestly I can't help it. Don't feel like I'm all to blame here.

Sounds like he's using his depression as a license to be a jerk. Getting a diagnosis for depression is easy… Like to the point I feel like it hardly makes a difference to be diagnosed unless you're seeking treatment. I was diagnosed with it just by talking to a doctor for less than five minutes… If he only started acting this way after being diagnosed then I think it's him identifying with his diagnosis and using it as a shield from actually getting better (like what you said about him hyping it up).

You deserve better and seem really sweet. Try not to enable him so much though.

No. 107782

I agree entirely with this. Depression isn't an excuse to act like a dick, if you're well enough to be in the community without a carer, you're well enough to be able to be at least somewhat of an okay person, and being a selfish person who's clearly abusing the diagnosis (if he has one, I'll get to that in a second) in order to get what he wants form people while making them feel like they can't tell him to fuck off, because he's so vulnerable. Him making you feel like he's a possible suicide risk as well as belittling your issues to make only his seem like the serious ones is proof of this.

And as to diagnosis, I think he's lying. No psychiatrist would diagnose him without sending him to therapy first, because it's super important to find out why someone feels the way they do, and that comes out in therapy. Hell, I don't think there's a doctor alive that would refer him straight to a psychiatrist for just depression.

Have you considered that he might have just had a doctor go "Yeah you sound kind of depressed" rather than an actual diagnosis of MDD?


Also, as someone with mental illness, you have no obligation to stay with him if he treats you like crap. Obviously don't just drop him straight away, and let him know him acting like this makes stuff hard, but if he's not going to treat you decently at all, you shouldn't be with him, no matter what his issues are.

Just came back from another attempt to find a decent bikini. I went through several stores, i even tried every bikini top in one of the stores and not a single one fit me. There are stores for 'plus size' bikinis but they're all hideous and weirdly shaped. I'm a small girl, about 110lbs but with big, ugly shaped saggy soft boobs. I look disgusting in any type of beachwear, my boobs spill out and jump and look sad all the time. Worse is that my bf told me that he finds girls in a bikini more of a turn on than naked girls or skimpy clothes, and he used to like every picture on facebook of girls from our uni in cute little triangle shaped bikinis with pretty patterns. Everytime I see a girl looking this cute I just feel so hideous and disfigured. I think I'll bail out from ouro vacations because I can't go to the beach like this. My only option is one of my competitive swimming suits but they're ruined by salt water.

I think I'm going to break up with my boyfriend. We've been together almost 3 years, and it sucks, but he's been a douche lately. He just graduated and isn't working, and doesn't seem to be even looking for work. He had a birthday night out last weekend and complained to me about how only 3 friends showing up, knowing I've never had more than 2 people show up for my birthday things, have invited my entire friends list before and had no one show up, and didn't even celebrate this year, got no cards, nothing. But here he is complaining about how only 3 friends showed up, but maybe someday he'll beat his record of 7. I told him later that it really hurt my feelings, that he should have been happy that friends actually came to his thing, and he just said "oh i was just joking" and didn't apologise. He does this a lot though. He left one karaoke night out for a cigarette as soon as he was done singing, even though I was up next, and stayed out for like 45 minutes or something, missing my song, didn't apologise, and just explained that he ran into a friend he hadn't seen in a while. He called my job pointless "like most jobs". He goes to the autism excuse whenever I call him out on something, and has called me emotionally abusive in the past, which makes me scared to say anything.
He says he sent me a birthday card this year but got my address wrong, and that bothers me because maybe if he was in the habit of writing more often that wouldn't happen. I write postcards to him all the time, and would love if he would reciprocate a bit. I feel like I'm doing like 90% of the work in this relationship. It costs me a months pay to get on a plane to visit him, but I've done it, and he's not even applied for a passport yet.
We used to hardly ever go out, and even though I'm still upset about the birthday night out thing, I came home after working out tonight to open facebook and find that he's RSVPd to like 10 events. Something he hardly ever does, and never did when I invited him to something. Shit like freshers week, except he's not in uni anymore and doesn't even live in these places. It all shows up in my news feed for some reason, and I've told him this. Like. That's just petty tbh.
We're great when we're together, and he's said we're soulmates and I give him a reason to wake up in the morning, but like… I don't think I can do this anymore. This is legit abusive and I don't even give a shit about autism or his past and how he doesn't want to be like any of his mom's boyfriends (except he totally is rn) or anything at this point tbh.

i really hate that i need to get a job again. 2 years at a soul draining job has left me completely incapable of working with other people, friendly or not. i'm to the point where i make my own soap and detergent and shop online so i have to make as few trips as possible into stores and interact with people. i started attending college last summer just so i could spend less time working there, and then when i started babysitting for family, i finally had reason to quit. up until the beginning of this summer i was attending full time and babysitting, so no one was expecting me to work, but after having to drop a class at the beginning, i needed to get a job. i was putting it off, thinking that the next summer class would be reason enough, but i dropped that one too, and that was where i realized that i can't continue with the major I've chosen. i have really no interest in it as a career, i was really only thinking i'd be able to work at home with it and that it would be a more in demand type job. it was the 3rd class required for the major that I've had to drop. so now i don't even know what to go to college for. i don't think i have the patience for a bachelors degree either. career tests always tell me to go into something with agriculture, but I've yet to find an agriculture related associates, and all the ag schools are pretty far away. i'm also wondering if an ag degree would even be worth it. which brings me back to my job search. most of the job openings in my area are for social type jobs, like in home elderly care and sales. i don't have the sparkly outgoing confident personality they all want, and my work history and skill set means i get looked right over for someone else. which is why i need a college degree. arggggg

I have never felt romantic or sexual attraction to anyone I've ever met. I want to have crushes and relationships but they literally do not happen. On the other hand I grow extremely attached to people platonic but I never get that romantic feeling.

Environmental engineering (my cousin studied this), some chemistry degrees and logistics could be useful for agriculture.
I'm a business student but I'm planning on going into the agriculture business myself, I already own some land in a warm country with an excellent climate, mostly I just hate Monsanto and how they lobby and try to push their products in the EU.

This may sound cynical/not what you wanted to hear but aren't concepts like love and romance made up? I know growing up on disney movies made a lot of girls think their only purpose in life is to 'fall en lurv and marry by sunset uwu' but I don't think concept like love and romance exist in places that were not introduced to the idea. Your attachments to people are normal and are probably closest to what you wish would become that mystical 'love' you hear so much about. Perhaps you just haven't met The One yet, or maybe you shouldn't let stupid made-up ideas make you feel inadequate. This sounds emotionally charged but so many of my older friends cry over this exact issue, they can't understand that life's not a disney movie, that obsessive infatuation is probably what others would call love and that usually only spans for about 6 months anyway before the newly-wed syndrome wears off and the other person isn't so magical and mysterious anymore.

If you really want a partner just focus on you and the right person will come. If you're a fucking badass because you spent years invested in cool hobbies/developing skills you're bound to attract/run into someone who also meshes well with you.

No, not really. That's something you often hear bitter singletons and PUAs say, but the truth is it only seems that way because people like that rarely get to the good part.

Like the other anon mentioned, the honeymoon period lasts for about 3-6 months and everything's lovely and your partner's the best person in the world and you'd eat out of their arsehole if you could because they're just so great. Then one day you wake up and look at your SO, and you start to wonder if they've always had a nose shaped like a potato and fish lips. And god, put on some deodorant will you?

And that's perfectly normal. If people aren't compatible, they're gonna break it off and go chasing the high again. But if they are they're gonna fall in love, real love, which isn't really an exciting high but you develop a bond and become really super close and comfortable with each other. It's why there's that joke: 'A young man and woman are in the bathroom together. What are they doing? -If they're married, one is brushing their teeth while the other one's taking a dump'.
It's just a really special relationship and I can't really describe it, but it's x1000 better than the hormonal high you get early on in a relationship. In a way you really do become 'an item', you get to know them so well you can almost read one another's mind and you support each other through thick and thin. You become a team.

So those Disney films aren't really wrong, provided your partner isn't a bag of dicks and actually loves/supports you back.

I'm a virgin and I've never had a boyfriend before, and am often bitter about it. But I keep thinking about how desperate I am for affection from other men, so much so that I'll almost sacrifice my dignity for it
>am usually pretty confident in wanting to pursue people I have crushes on
>every time I've come onto/hit on someone (which has not been a lot) ended in rejection, whatever
>the one other guy who gave me attention was online on my skype
>after a few months of friendly conversations about whatever he starts hitting on me/coming onto me HARD
>went "fuck it" and almost ended up giving in out of wanting to feel wanted
>found out that he does this to like four other women at a time and ends up emotionally manipulating them all
>get upset for the wrong reasons
At first I was upset only because he had done this to multiple women. Because I had thought I was the only one he wanted. I got jealous that he had done this to other women instead of only focusing on me. I realize entirely that this is fucked up and indicative of how successful he was in manipulating me, but I can't help but feel that this is a sign of me being desperate. So desperate that I'd overlook the really shitty things he does in exchange for attention and supposed love. Has anyone ever had this kind of shit happen to them? How the fuck do I fix my neediness/desperation? I feel like this isn't normal for someone who has never had sex/had a relationship before

Your reaction to this guy sounds pretty normal to me. He betrayed your trust and I don't think a little jealously is unnatural.

You may not agree or want to believe me, but there is nothing wrong with being a virgin or sexually, even romantically inexperienced. I can understand feeling desperate for a romantic or emotional connection because I'm there now. Similarly, I have had very few, short relationships. The only way that will change is by working toward securing those connections and filling that void. That said, don't let your desperation drive that search or else you will embarrass or hurt yourself or allow others to take advantage of you. Understand what you need to change about yourself (if anything) or how you're approaching the search and make it happen.

I used to have this friend who i met back in 6th grade we got along a really well because of anime and shit and you know as the years progress we got to get into more stuff especially about history and books. She was my best friend through the years and we just kinda fell apart during 11th grade and honestly it was all my fault. I had jealousy issues because she always talked to this smarter girl and I felt like they got along really well. And i always thoughy that she would be better off with her.

Then I'd ignore her and she told me that she's always ready to talk to me when in times like this,like we'll forget that everything and it didn't happen.

And idk i just never did talk to her and i gave her a note saying i dont want to be friends with you anymore and it was a shitty move. We never spoke again. I really miss her and I regret everything

She was the best thing that ever happened to me i regret everything ive done

…Just write to her? Explain her everything and say you're sorry, offer support for her situation, be a good friend. For what you said it seems like it wouldn't be hard make up things.

Anyway, I think my mother may be a narcissist. When the Margogate happened I started thinking about the similarities between Margo and my mother, and it's creepy. Yesterday I looked up online the principal signs of a narcissistic parent and I was upset.
She always wanted me to be "successful" by her own view:
>getting the best grades at school - she didn't go to college (even when I was a child she used to get really mad when I didn't and beat me up, even held me by the neck and tighten up the grip, like a "softer strangling")
>being always the best at every competition - she never won anything (I was 3rd at a pool competition and she gave me shit because I was so "slow and weak and she wasted her money")
>dressing "classy" - she's a prude (dresses must be very long, if they reach the knee you're a "slut")
>having a boyfriend (but you must stay virgin until marriage).
If you don't, you're useless and a failure. And that's exactly what she thinks of me, since I don't always get good grades, I'm thinking about dropping university, I dress like a normal 21 y.o. girl and I don't have a boyfriend at the moment.
She's also really jealous of me and my sister, since when she was young (and also now) she's always been the ugly duckling and we managed instead to come out attractive even though our both parents didn't exactly win the genetics lottery. So when we're in the streets together and men look at me/my sister she gets really upset. "They're only looking at you because you're wearing heels/skinny jeans, you're never gonna attract a decent man like this, why don't you dress more modestly? Why don't you try to attract guys with brains instead of looks?" (so for her we're basically dumb just because we happened to look half decent and we like to take care of our looks by dressing like normal girls and not fucking nuns? Lol bitch I read and travel and have an open mind while you're stuck at the small town mentality. Try again).
She also has a clear preference between her daughters, she idolizes my little sister and shits on me constantly even in front of strangers.
I had shit teenager years because of her, she beated the hell out of me for the stupidest reasons (there was this one time when I was like 14 and she woke me up with punches, heavy words and scratches because she found a Marilyn Manson song in my computer and she saw a tv show the other night which talked about satanists and that they supposedly listen to Marilyn Manson, so sad).
My parents divorced when I was 12, my father is absent and she hates him guts and she always compared me to him, "You're just like your father!" I think he ran away out of desperation, lol.
While I can't even say a slightly contrary word to her, my sister can shit on her on a daily basis and get away with it, she even does porn chats and nudes with unknown guys she met on fb since she was 14 (now she's 15), if I ever did such a thing I would've been kicked out of home in 0,001. I think I just wrote an essay, so I will just point out the rest.
>1. Uses/Lives Through One’s Child: Instead of raising a child whose own thoughts, emotions, and goals are nurtured and valued, the offspring becomes a mere extension of the parent’s personal wishes, with the child’s individuality diminished.
>2. Marginalization: Some narcissistic parents are threatened by their offspring’s potential, promise, and success, as they challenge the parent’s self-esteem. Examples of this type of competitive marginalization includes nit-picking, unreasonable judgment and criticisms, unfavorable comparisons, invalidation of positive attitudes and emotions, and rejection of success and accomplishments. The common themes through these put downs are: “There’s always something wrong with you,” and “You’ll never be good enough.”
>3. Grandiosity & Superiority: Many narcissistic parents have a falsely inflated self-image, with a conceited sense about who they are and what they do.
>5. Manipulation: Common examples of narcissistic parenting manipulation include:
Guilt trip: “I’ve done everything for you and you’re so ungrateful.”
Blaming: “It’s your fault that I’m not happy.”
Shaming: “Your poor performance is an embarrassment to the family.”
Negative comparison: “Why can’t you be as good as your brother?”
Unreasonable pressure: “You WILL perform at your best to make me proud.”
Manipulative reward and punishment: “If you don’t pursue the college major I chose for you, I will cut off my support.”
Emotional coercion: “You’re not a good daughter/son unless you measure up to my expectations.”
>6. Inflexible and Touchy: Some narcissistic parents are also touchy and easily triggered. Reasons for irritation towards an offspring can vary greatly, from the child’s lack of attention and obedience, to perceived faults and shortcomings, to being in the presence of the parent at the wrong time, et cetera.
>7. Lack of Empathy: One of the most common manifestations of a narcissistic father or mother is the inability to be mindful of the child’s own thoughts and feelings, and validate them as real and important. Only what the parent thinks and feels matters.
>8. Dependency/Codependency
>9. Jealousy & Possessiveness
>10. Neglect

So yeah I'm just wondering how many years and money I shall give to the psychotherapist in my adult years to make it all up. My self esteem sucks, and I realize the more I stay in that house, the less happy I am. I love my family of course, despite everything, but they're toxic for my self realization. My mother doesn't realize what she did and what she's doing to me. I have to get out of here.

I know that you can't diagnose these things on your own, but I was venting on the fact that I don't feel alright living with my mother, not because I don't love her but because she behaves in this way. I wrote even some petty things out of anger, it may be.

what bothers you more? the idea that she's smoking weed or the idea that she's lying to you?
look, kids will be kids. they experiment. obviously if she has friends around who smoke weed, at some point they're probably going to offer her a puff. but if you punish her for that, it's just going to alienate her. random drug tests are not a guarantee that she'll stop, you know? she'll just learn to hide the smell better, or take different drugs, or wait until she moves out of your house to do whatever she likes.
you should ask yourself what the point of this demonstration is. is it because of the legal status of marijuana, or because you're worried she's going to become a stoner, or is this just your way of proving that she can't lie to you without consequences? imo it'd be far more effective to explain your concerns to her and ask her to refrain from smoking out of respect for you and her father than it will be to ground her or lecture her as a deterrent.

As for tablets, Wacom are the industry standard, however Huion are basically the same but much more price friendly since they're chinese. You can get a Huion H610 pro which is basically a Wacom intuos for £60 or a Huion Giano (the better version and probably best Huion) for £110 or thereabouts.

I'm tired of reacting to things the way I do, specifically when I develop feelings for someone. I've been seeing this guy for maybe 2 weeks and he's surprisingly sweet and I really like him so that really scares me. I've only had bad experiences with people like him and so I'm constantly worried that he doesn't really like me. I worry that I'm just a replacement for a girl he wants but can't have. I worry that he's going to find someone better for him than me since we're both VERY different. I worry I'm not what he thinks I am and when he sees that I actually DO care what people think of me then he'll stop wanting to be around me. He hasn't done anything to make me think anything bad will happen but my last ex was not a nice person who cheated on me and ultimately left me for a girl who was the exact opposite of all the things he said he liked about me. I've been struggling to get over everything that happened with him and it's been incredibly difficult. It's stupid and I know I'm being irrational but this anxiety about dating has been a problem for as long as I can remember but after my ex it's been more difficult to handle. I might just break it off with him because this is so stressful for me but then what would that solve? I'm just really tired of making myself sick over worrying that something will go wrong when there are absolutely no signs that things are going south. I almost want to talk to him about it like an adult but I don't like not knowing how he will react. Maybe I should just give it some time and try to give myself some space to relax. I've never been very good at relaxing but maybe it'll work better this time.

I almost wonder if he said things about me behind my back, most likely insults and rude things in general

I adopted a kitten on Saturday after losing my cat to cancer recently. I've been keeping her in my room while she settles. It's been going well, except she has vanished overnight. Neither me nor my bf recall getting up during the night to give her the opportunity to escape our room, yet she's gone. She was definitely here when we came to bed - she was sleeping in the window (which is closed and locked).

Neither of our roommates say they saw anything, and we've tried looking for her, but there's so many places a kitten can hide, it seems futile. She's definitely not in our room - she would've come running out when she heard her bowl being filled or her bell toy being jingled.

I'm (irrationally?) afraid she's trapped dead or somehow outside, where she's good as dead. After my other cat died, I'm not ready to lose another pet so soon, and I'm freaking out. If it made more sense as to how she escaped, I'd be calmer, but I swear neither of us left this room last night. I guess there's nothing I can do but wait for her to finally get hungry enough to come out to eat, but until then I'm just going to be an anxious wreck.

Maybe she's in a closet or something hiding? My cat did the same thing to me when she was a kitten, I bugged out. I thought she had gotten into the wall somehow, nearly avoided an "It's Almost Sunny" cat in the wall type situation.

She might still be in your room, people call it the cat portalz When cats get really scared they'll find an impossible hiding spot and won't come out no matter what, even to eat. They're so good at it owners sometimes think that someone broke in and stole their cat. Give her time and she'll show up, don't give up. Cats can't just disappear.

Cat anon here. I appreciate the kind words/advice, but she still has not turned up. We've searched every nook and cranny in the bedroom - under the desks, dresser, bed, nightstand, every single drawer. The drawers don't come out, but I don't think she could've gotten behind them, as there's very little clearance. We emptied the hampers just in case she somehow burrowed in them and no luck. If she's still in this room, I have no fucking clue how or where.

As for the rest of the house, we'd have to tear it apart to find her. There's just so many places she could be. The storage room (aka my one roommates hoarding area) is basically a kitten jungle. I don't think there's any hope of us finding her. If she's still in the house, I'll just have to wait for her to come out on her own. :( this sucks ass. I really have no clue how she escaped. I hope she's still even here, it's driving me crazy.

Don't count out unlikely places. I've found my cats in dressers when I couldn't find them and I had no idea how they got there. Sometimes they figure how to get in super tight places and weird locations when you thought it was impossible.

Trust me, that cat is somewhere. I had a cat that got into our garage and we had no idea how. They cram themselves into anything. Sometimes a good way to tell if they're in the house is to leave some food and water out. If there are bits of food missing and you don't have any other pets, then you know she's around. Still check everywhere you can though, cat are crafty.

Damn, it sucks. Like >>108403 said, don't leave out unlikely places. For cats, no place is unlikely. Be sure he's not stuck somewhere. He may be hiding in a warm spot, especially since he's a kitten, they become chilled easier.
Scattering some food and water around is also a good idea. Are you sure the kitten didn't go out of the room/house in some way?

Cat anon again. Still no sign of her. We are starting to think she is not in the house. None of the food we have set out has been touched. We put some on the porch and in the garage too. We tore apart the entire house this morning. Unless there's a secret cat tunnel we don't know about, pretty sure she's not here.

It's just driving me nuts because I have no idea how she got out. There was literally only a 3 hour window for her escape. I mean I could believe my roommates were bullshitting me when they said they didn't let her out of the house, but I definitely didn't leave my bedroom in that time span. There's no holes in the walls or anything.

I put a lost ad on Craigslist (doubt it'll do anything) and let the rescue and my vet know that she's probably lost.

Me too tbh, I hate myself not believing to life after death/ghost stuff. I really hope there's something after death, something pleasant. The idea of simply not existing anymore is really scary, and I'm unconfortable with thinking of bodily decay too. It's like we're nothing on this planet, and being raised with a Catholic education gave me some standards, even though now I'm not a believer anymore, and it's worse.
And I don't want to be buried, shit. Just don't put my body six feet under in a wooden prison, what if I wake up there? Edgar Allan Poe had my exact fear and guess what, he woke up later in the casket and died there! Just nope.
But on the other side, I don't want to be cremated either. I would like to be put in a small chapel, in a casket maybe but not buried, and I have to be able to open it by myself and get out if it's the case.

I'm so salty about myself. I'm a character that gets easily addicted to things, and I know that. And I try to avoid it as much as possible.

But I started rewatching some British bloggers/Youtube personalities and at first it's all "damn I'd like a hug right now" while watching them, then it turns to "they have cool tastes, I think it'd be cool to hang out with them" to "they'd probably understand how I'm feeling right now" to "I wonder how it'd feel if they hugged me, or comforted me, or even liked me in any way"

Like for fuck's sake, I know I'm still sore as fuck over my ex, but this isn't the way to go. It's fucking impossible daydream and it's just hurting me to imagine these happy, pleasant scenarios that would never happen. I'm not a young teenager, I'm a grownass person nearing their 30's.

Me too anon. I don't mind Taylor but I hate her make up - not her just her make up and the fillers. I don't care for her that much but this whole shit with Venus is getting on my fucking tits.

I don't like either much. Ive never liked Venus from day one not because of her mother but she's just stupid. I don't understand why she's so entertaining either? I get the doll thing was a thing and the abuse shit. I don't wish abuse on the girl but a part of me wonders if the whole Manaki thing was plotted sometimes. She literally is just another visa hopper but because of her mother (which is why sometimes I think it was a scandal and planned out) she got the pass. People excuse it and say "peeeepul do visa marriage all da time tho?" and "she was abuseddd doe by her evil mummy! she had no choice!" I mean if it was all true then okay I get she had no choice but surely to fucking god… why was the aunt, grandparents never involved properly? Also what kind of family never questioned why the mother and daughter always moved around? You know, it bugs me and there is so many conspiracies about her mother Margo and the family.

I just find Venus a bit false. She's a fetishizer and sure there is preference but then there is just full out "I want an asian mannnn!" and that video "How to look Hafu" is just awful. Yet people stick up for her with "Buh da Japanese do it too!" < doesnt mean its right. Its disgusting and yet Japanese get a pass because they're obviously perfect apparently.

Sharla is just a mess. That make up Taylor did on her made her look like an overgrown toddler. The pair of them look daft with that make up. There is a reason asians enhance their eyes and when westerners do it… why? whats the point? I don't get it.

I also dislike Rachel too. She's a whiny cunt and I think she looks like a shrew. I heard she was a visa hopper too but because her and her mute Jun won over their audience with their beloved interracial trophy asian happy marriage they got away with that too.

Recently I just started watching PDR-san and he's alright. Quite funny and then I saw his girl was Mimei. Christ on a crutch… whats with all the female white Jvloggers always looking so weird? You know I never see people look normal over there doing Jvlogging with a large audience. They always try hard with asian looking make up, ugly or just weird.

My best friend has basically moved on with her life and I feel used. She became cosplay famous and now has no more time for me. I am not into cosplay so I can't relate, but we were friends for 5 years and really close. Plus I helped make quite a few things for her cosplays as a way to spend time together.

I moved to a new town but could still see her a few times a month. I kept reaching out to her, visiting her, doing nice things for her, giving her presents on her bday and holidays, trying to talk, but she doesn't talk to me anymore. I know I just need to wash my hands of it, but it still stings. She has the habit of not telling me if something I did is bothering her. In the past I used to ask, but I am tired of dragging shit out of her. It's not my job, we are both fucking adults.

She is visiting my town for a con next month and hasn't even attempted to try to make plans, despite me expressing interest in seeing her, because it's not convenient for her to drive an extra 30 to see me or spare a few brain cells to make a plan to meet in the middle. Never mind all the money and time I sunk into visiting her. She made it apparent that she really only cares about people who benefit herself which hurts. At this point in my life, I feel like I don't want close friends anymore, because I am too sensitive when the relationship goes sour. I hate how depressed this is making me feel.

Yeah, I agree. What sucks is she was super stingy with me too because all her $$$ had to go to cosplay. After all the shit she asked me to help with she never did anything nice for me, even though she promised she would make it up. She fell through, every single time. I didn't expect it, but I didn't expect her to just drop me in the end? Never mind the fact her boyfriend pays all her bills and her fans now donate 1200 a month to her patreon. I feel so bitter. She is just getting more and more famous too, so it hurts seeing someone treat you like trash moving up like that. I know I come across as pathetic, but fuck.

I had a best friend like yours, with the only difference that she doesn't do cosplay and she's not famous. We didn't fight, neither we went into even a slight discussion, nothing: she slowly started ignoring my messages without a reason. She too has the habit of not talking directly to the person when there's an issue, she did the same thing years ago but that time we actually had a fight, we were teenagers, I was depressed and she wanted to spend more time with other friends, I can understand not wanting to be next to a depressed person even though I can't justify it when it's a friend, but we made up to our wrongs and were friends again.
Last year she started doing that thing again, ignoring me etc. but this time I felt like… I was over it? Like, I was over with her childish shit, I didn't even ask her why because I didn't care anymore. Like you said, we're adults and it's not my job to drag shit out of her. Apparently she's still a teenager on the inside.

I've been totally isolated from my family. Every time I spend time or interact with them I have to be reminded of their horrible personalities and flaws that make it inpossible to bond with them. We were supposed to save eachother from our godawful parents, but we all got influenced by their shittiness so much that I can't stand to even think about them without getting furious. My oldest brother is cold and dismissive of me, my older sister is an overdramatic hyper realist who relies on substance abuse and not owning up to her mistakes, and my younger brother is a non-disciplined and entitled moron who has no concern for his actions. They were supposed to be there for me, of all people in the world, but they had to go and be their own assholes.

The price of somewhere to live is already ridiculous. 75% of all Somalian refugee's has no work. Immigrants don't stand a chance in our hypercompetetive society.

I'm fine with donating billions in foreign aid, but we shoulnd't let every one in because of sad pictures in the media. Its irrational.

Also under "traditional Dutch values", I understand progressives values like the freedom to do drugs. The freedom to choose your own sexual partner regardless of your or there gender.

been getting involved more with the world around me rather than wasting time with internet friends. in an LDR that feels like its on its last legs, and even though i love the other person, being told that im a surrogate/i've been treating the relationship like a substitute really got to me, and ive been ignoring her for almost a week now

i love my friends and my girlfriend, but im really busy with work, school, and exercise/training. i've been getting over some of my social anxiety and talking to people more often, but when i get home im reminded that everything that's happened beyond my front door doesn't follow me back home, and everything that's kept me going has been online

i kinda wanna disappear from everyone for a while, but its not fair to my friends or girlfriend. im at an impasse of basically grovelling to everyone who matters to me (despite them being thousands of miles away) and cutting back on whatever improvements ive been making in my life because im ultimately lonely despite whatever dumb achievements im accumulating

Okay I will speak from personal experience here to clear up some confusion. I've talked to a large number of people on 4chan and I've started a relationship with 3 of them. None of them were tripfags/namefags(trips are usually a fake persona, /r9k/ is the only place where people attach it to their real identity) and none of them used /r9k/ and only one used /soc/(which I only discovered later on, consequently this girl was the only one that was unstable and where the relationship ended badly).

All of my relationships on 4chan started out in generals on various boards where you begin to recognize certain personalities who share the same interests as you and you start to speak with these people frequently. Eventually we decided to speak outside of 4chan and this is where the relationship usually develops. The main problem that arises from these is lack of physical contact but most importantly distance. The farther you are away from the person the more likely it wont work and problems arise.

Are there guys that try and get "practice girlfriends" on 4chan? I dont believe so, that sounds like a conspiracy to me imo. Are there guys that try to get nudes from girls on 4chan? I would say almost certainly but these people are mostly on /soc/ and /r9k/although they do leak to other places.

If you have questions or want me to clarify some things feel free to ask, it's easier for me to explain that way

Really? I think it's only a few cases that are blown out proportion when in reality it is incredibly rare. I think people starting a relationship through 4chan is extremely rare in itself, other than my experiences I haven't heard about it happening much.

>I don't understand those girls who genuinely like robots though. They do actually exist, and they really do like the virgin types who are embittered because they think they can change them and be their savior. What the fuck is up with that?

Some people are fucked in the head, but even I can see the appeal of being a "savior figure". I think girls that do this on /r9k/ are not completely mentally sound though. I havent take a serious look on /r9k/ since before rare pepe was a thing so I dont know exactly what's going on there very well, but I'm sure it's not typical of what happens on the rest of 4chan except for perhaps /cgl/ of course.

>>109093
So you think woman are going their specifically to find guys? Is that a thing? I would guess a case like that is very rare. Your reasoning makes sense to me but I'm not sure if that's really going on. Also I think a 6/10 on /r9k/ would be very rare in itself.

I think she is just referencing a specific event and feels like it may be happening on a larger scale, doubt there is any kind of agenda behind it.

I'm actually a functioning smoker. You can combine it with a normal life, but it is difficult sometimes. Especially on workday binge nights.

Weed actually made me more extroverted. I communicate more freely and I'm less awkward in social situations. Also tons of occasions where I've gained friends who have the same "interests".

The paranoia can be deadly though. I someday overthink my daily life a little bit too much. To the point where I become nervous, but it also lets me reflect more neutral on my own social behavior in public.

I was born missing a pedicle on my cervical spine. There's some dislocation of the vertebrae adjacent to it because of this. I don't have normal neck movement so it's always been a bit stiff. I have no idea what a normal neck feels like but it must be great. I'm just glad you can't tell from looking at me that I have a messed up neck. They told me that the only real treatment was fusion and that I didn't want that.

But the pain has gotten really bad and I think it's why I have such horrible migraines. My neck hurts constantly and it keeps cracking. I can't stand it anymore. The rest of my back is starting to crack and seize up on me too. I'm wondering if I have additional missing pedicles or it's just an effect of what's going on with my neck.

Today I was asked by my mum why I haven't gone out or made any friends since moving out and also was told it was weird. My mums worried that I spend all my time at home reading/playingvidya or spending time with my pets at the age of 24 instead of going out partying and hanging out with other people my age but truth be told I genuinely do not like people. They exhaust me for thebmost part with empty conversations and the stupid need to condtantly have their egod fed. I'm also terrible at picking friend, the last time I had a group of friends one ended up going to jail for killing another one and stealing all his shit to sell - that was four ish years ago and i thought i had finally gotten over it and was ready to trust again - then just a few months ago a long time close friend admitted to me that he essentially raped a drunk girl so I have just cut off all contact and withdrawn from the outside world. The messed up part was I called him crying after I was assaulted by two guys at a party and he was horrified and was there after I had my rape kit done. He had three sisters too like what the fuck?whatever though - blocked the rapist in question and feel sick thinking that I ever trusted him or any of my old friend group for sticking by him after doing something so awful.

Truth be told I'm the happiest I've been in a long time and I have two long distance friends that I regularly speak to but to be honest I am scared shitless they are going to do something really really fucked up someday too. At least with my pets I know their intentions are pure and that they won't ever do anything malicious to me or to anyone else.

I don't know if I can open up to anyone else again, I'm close with my bf my family and my two college friends but I'm quite happy with that. Just wish my mum would understand that I'm happier and better off by myself, people can do such terrible things and I'm over opening up to potential monsters and wasting my time to be honest. Just wish my parents would understand that.

When I still lived with my parents, my mom tried to force me to constantly go out or annoy me by asking questions, like: "Don't you want to go out?", "You really should'nt be sitting behind that fucking computer all day. If I just had the strength to destroy that cancer and free you from that screen" or "When we were your age we always were around friends". Not understanding that I actually didnt have friends and I couldn't make them, so sitting behind the PC was not so much a choice. I never had the guts to honestly tell her what was wrong. I just had to hang in there until I moved out. You want your parents to understand, but have you clearly explained the issue to them?

I'm scrolling to look at the comments before I replied, and one poster asked anon why they were so insistent about judging the morality of camwhores. Not that nobody doesn't and can't judge them.

It's just common sense that most balanced people tend not to care, or have less angry impersonal views about their behavior.

And shocking going "yeah well you're unbalanced and have daddy issues" isn't actually a defence of camwhores, a group of people who have a habit of going across any board they can and seeking attention, dragging conversations off topic and creating retarded cults of personality around themselves.

The person said camwhores were symptomatic of the cancer that is /soc/. Someone else went "Why are you so judgemental against them, is it because they're better than you and you're a lonely loser?", and the response was "Yeah, I'm so jealous of people with huge personal issues who get validation by posting their body online for people to jerk off over". You then took that as somehow proof that they have daddy issues and therefore what they said wasn't valid.


But this is the vent thread, not the bitch about 4chan boards thread, so I don't see the point of continuing this, we're literally arguing about what other posters in the thread meant, which is pretty pointless.

So glad I started to segregate my laundry and the bath towels from my bf's rank ass clothes. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. My clothes and towels actually smell clean and are washed. Couldn't trust bf with laundry duty any more because he hates taking time to do chores. He overstuffed the washers so clothes in the middle never got wet, my clothes would come out smelling like his smelly feet/mildew, and the laundry would get linty and never dry properly because he'd overstuff the dryer too.

It's gonna be our second year living together but there's already so much I miss about having my own place. Like being free to decorate and not having to work around bf's clutter and garish collections of crap like Funko Pops garbage. He keeps the most useless junk, is a hoarder, and doesn't even notice when the junk is gone. Just the other night he brought home a Thomas tank engine toy he found cleaning out the restaurant. Because that's just what we need, some drooly toy some poor kid lost.

If you're talking about legitimate sex work, I can agree with you. But most of the cam types aren't even charging for it, they're just posting nudes online to get the approval of strangers to feel better about themselves.

She started using it in her 20s as prescribed by a doctor for a small patch of eczema she had. That patch got worse and worse until she was having to put the cream across her whole body. Fast forward 20 more years and she's developed an allergy to dairy to the point where she goes into annaphallactic shock if you even put cheese on the dinner table.

She says the pain is all over her body, like a needle stabbing into every pore. It's also unbearably itchy so she's torn at all her skin before now and developed cellulitis on top of everything else. She doesn't sleep at night and she regularly takes cold baths to cool down the burning sensation she feels all over. There's no cure for it either, the doctors just describe stronger cream, so all she can do is sit and wait for her skin to stop crying out for the chemical it is dependent on.

The worst part is is she's not even that bad compared to some other people. She's part of a FB community of people all going through the same thing and some people have lost all their hair etc.

It just goes to show doctors don't necessarily understand what they are prescribing something and just read it from a book. They don't even acknowledge her condition because the pharmaceutical companies have the official canon on everything.

I randomly developed dyshidrotic eczema on my hand as soon as I turned 18 and the itching is so fucking unbearable. The worst part about it was finding out there's no cure and I'm not allergic to a single thing so even after years, I haven't found out how to get it to go away for good without the use of the cream. Thankfully, it's just a small patch so I can't even imagine how your mom is feeling if it's all over her body! Thank you for sharing, anon.

yeah srsly don't do it! I think there's a rule like it's fine to use as long as it's no more than two weeks or you'll need stronger and stronger cream until you end up looking like a rotting lobster

If your eczema gets worse though you have to avoid the creams and look into your diet. You could be super healthy but something might be causing it, you have to experiment maybe and analyse what you eat when it flares up the most. My mum didn't realise until her 50s that dairy was causing her worst flare ups and then another 4 years until she realized the creams had caused it and made it worse!

Basically this. I'm not sure if the toxicity is worse on console or PC, but damn.

Just got done with the worst competitive Overwatch match I've ever participated in on PS4. A 3 prestige guy picked Mercy and didn't heal, didn't do anything but shoot with his gun and stand around. I got on mic, called him out. "What are you doing? We're going to lose." He stands in spawn, shooting. Of course, we lose miserably. He messages me on PSN "i quit when I saw a fucking Symmetra. Stop bitching and go take care of your 10 kids and stop playing a game"
I guess he heard my ONLY son making baby noises in the background. Anyway, it's just the most annoying gaming experience I've had thus far.

Tl;dr fuck neckbeards on PS4.

I think our world is so romance obsessed that this idea that a person just does not want to be in a relationship is seen as strange or abnormal. I’m 19 and I’ve never been in a relationship. So many times people have asked me if I’m asexual, aromantic or just good ’ol ”but anon… WHY?!”
What the fuck do you mean why? There's no real reason, I just don’t feel like it do I really have to write a 10 page essay as to why I don’t want to? I have experienced attraction to people before, I simply choose not to act on them because it doesn’t feel that important to me. ”You’re letting him get away!” doesn’t really matter, honestly, I’ve been more bothered about missing the train than missing the chance to talk to a boy. I spent way too much time revolving my life around if boys liked me when I was in middle school and now I finally feel like I’m at a point where I don’t care anymore. I’m more excited about getting my career going, staying in shape and working on my projects than pursuing a relationship. It’s just so low down on my list of priorities. And yet, even though I feel like I’m in a much better place the people around me always seem to disagree, or worse, look down on me. I never feel like I’m fine the way I am. I especially remember one time when I told my friend I could probably get a guy if I really wanted to and she responded with ”you obviously can’t tho."
I know she ment it as a joke cause she giggled while she said it but… Fuck that really hurt. I’ve never looked at her the same way again because now I feel like despite all my accomplishments she won’t see me as anything other than a bumbling idiot unless I prove that I’m worthy of her respect by getting a man. And although I hate admitting it, it’s kind of made me doubt how I see myself as well. Am I just in denial when I say that I don’t want a relationship because nobody wants me? Would people really respect and admire me more if I was in a relationship? Why aren’t I good enough as I am now?
This turned into a whiny mess I'm sorry I need to go to bed fuck

Anon, you're absolutely fine, more than fine, the way that you are. You don't need or want a man and I think it's stupid that people are so worried about it. It's just a biological thing, really. Same reason a lot of people were against gays. They don't realize it, but it's all because of the drive most of us have to procreate. You've risen above that base instinct mentally. You should be proud of that, at least.

I relapsed today after being ''good'' for 3 months, eating clean, exercising etc. A lot of my behaviours are still disordered (obsessive calorie counting, over exercising at times) but mostly I've been good. Now, today I've seen my mother and she gave me a few slices of carrot cake and I absolutely demolished it, whenever I slip I usually suck it up and move on but today I just couldn't do it, I purged. Eating food my family makes in general can trigger b/p for me, I've managed to avoid all other packaged junk and take away that might trigger b/p but my familys food was the only thing I couldn't stay away from because I didnt have the heart to tell them no. Now I politely asked her to not give me ay more food because it might trigger a b/p.

Recently I realised that I can't have sex. The last three partners I had ended up hurting me pretty badly. The first one outright raped me and escaped never to be seen again and the one after allowed her friend whom I didn't know to enter my bedroom at night and try to forcefully gave ssx with me.The last one bragged to all our friends about our sex life and told elaborate lies on top of them to make it more exciting or whatever. The whole situation made me feel disgusting and filthy, I felt like my personal life was out there for all to see. He has a new girlfriend now which he treats like a lady, it made me feel even worse. Ever since the end of that relationship I can't seem to be able to get close to people anymore. I don't still like the guy, I lost interest in him long before we officially broke up. The problem is when I try to get intimate it makes me feel sick to my stomach, everything feels disgusting and wrong and I just feel uncomfortable. I don't like how guys looks at me, it just makes me feel like a whore. All my friends keep going on about how I should be happy because I'm 'pretty' but I just wish I could somehow become invisible to men so I wouldn't feel so shit every time I go somewhere. But I do not mean to sound sexist or anything, it like its me that's sick or whatever.

It feels terrible when my boyfriend tells me he 'doesn't understand' why I'm sad, or when he tells me I'm just being unreasonable and that I lack self-confidence. Maybe he's right, maybe it's just that, but it just feels so bad and it doesn't help me at all when he says things like these. It just makes me feel like an idiot.
Today I went to see him after something dumb happened that made me sad, angry and stressed out enough to make me want to cry, but after seeing him I wasn't really able to speak or explain, because not only it's a bit hard speaking when you're in that state, but also I just know he'll tell me he doesn't understand or that I'm being unreasonable. In the end he just told me I needed to stop crying for no reason all the time. I feel so sad. It's always like that, I'm sad about something, I try talking to him because he told me he wants to help me feel better, and then it just makes me feel worse. I've told him a few times that it doesn't really help when I talk to him about it and it made him frustrated and angry, I think. I feel quite guilty too, it's like I'm doing it for attention or because I want to feel sad. But I'm pretty sure it's not the case. And when I try talking about it to my other friend and he just makes jokes and makes me laugh it really cheers me up, maybe because that friend has similar issues too I guess.

I've been feeling sad almost all the time for two years now, maybe I need therapy or something.

Sounds like you need to dump your boyfriend.
If he's just brushing your problems off and telling you to get over it while simultaneously saying you should talk to him when you feel bad, you need to leave. If you've told him that he's only making matters worse and he got angry that you told him, he's not a good person. Your friend is helping you more than your boyfriend, you need to surround yourself with more people that are like that.

Jesus Christ anon, no, she shouldn't just dump him, she should really sit down and talk to him about the issue, and if the relationship is miserable as a result she should dump him, but if he just can't understand why she's sad, especially when it sounds like depression, it makes sense he could be frustrated he doesn't know how to help.

She should talk to a therapist and ask for a therapists advice on how to handle it, or even get him to come along to a meeting to try to help with it.

Nah, I didn't get that from her, I think it's just a case of her being upset hurting him, but him having no idea how to handle it, which makes sense if as she admits she's sad for seemingly no reason all the time, or a lot of it.

Some 8 years ago I posted a picture of myself to my artblog with a small description but left out my gender thinking it was obvious that I was a girl: I had a very short bob but it was styled in a traditionally feminine way, was wearing heavy makeup,a blouse, etc. not to mention my face is very obviously female.

Shortly after I posted this picture an older blogger/artist I admired messaged me and we started talking. That same day he asked if I wanted to webcam with him and I said yes. But when I started talking on cam he said "Oh, you're a girl? I thought you were a guy" And then spent the rest of the conversation talking about how I would have made a cute twink.

This guy was obviously a jerk but I admired him so much that I put up with a lot of what he said/did. I thought that it was okay for him to be an asshole because he was doing me a favor by letting me be part of his inner circle. Over the years he talked a lot about "fakes" and about how pathetic he thought it was for girls to pretend to be boys just to try and get with gay dudes. I thought nothing of it and thought he was just talking about random people. Eventually I got older and realized he was toxic so we stopped talking.

A few months ago though I ran into him again. Him and my rl girlfriend have apparently been good friends online for a while now. When she told him about me he said "Oh, you're dating Anon? I remember when she used to pretend to be a gay guy online." I explained the situation to my girlfriend and she believed me, but he has apparently been telling this to a lot of people. It shouldn't bother (he is pretty irrelevant) me but it seriously does.

I think it's completely normal to feel nervous about talking to someone, but if you're sad for absolutely no reason consistently it could be something worth checking out, at the very least with your GP to make sure it's not something physical.

And I imagine he would be, it could be upsetting to not know what's going on with someone you care about, and you seeking help would make that less the case.

Yeah anon, i've been trying to tell him the amount of red flags this girl has shown is dumb. He's planning on flying out to her county to meet her by himself. His first time on a plane and in a different county.
I told him how worried I would be if he actually did that, he's not a child but going to a different county by yourself to meet a girl you just met is ridiculous.
I have explained all my worries and thoughts about her and the fact she was shit talking me so much for no reason is more than enough for him to tell her to fuck off.
He is a thirsty fuck, he's 21 Years old and a kissless virgin so I don't blame him but I would never have thought I wouldn't be completed ditched if he ever got with someone.

He has saw me at my worst of heartbreak and knew what it did it me and i tried my best to stop that from happening to him but honestly I hope he does get cucked and dumped at this point.
I just feel as if i've lost a big part of my life because of it. He will most likely come running back when she does dump him and I honestly don't know if I should bother making up with him.

My house burned down, where my mother and sister also lived. We were all at work when it happened, my boyfriend came to my job 2 hours into my shift because my mom called to tell him to get me because our house is burning. They got our 15 year old dog out of the house, but our two cats are still missing/bones not found. Boyfriend and I are going back in the morning to look for the cats, they might be hiding somewhere. I love my cat so much, this is a nightmare.

I also am currently taking 17 credits this semester, all my work is fucking burned. I need to contact so many people tomorrow, for textbooks and support. Might see the therapist on campus because im a fucking wreck. I am studying to be a teacher, I have a student teaching internship in two weeks, and all my clothes are gone besides whats on me

I'd hate to imagine my cats disappearing after a fire. Losing cats is the worst for me, especially when I find their body, but at least having some hope helps. Just one getting hurt makes me wanna cry a lot. If you do find your cats and see they didn't make it, know that they were loved and they loved you. At least finding their remains would be some type of closure, even though it's heartbreaking. I hope you find your cats safe and sound anon! Cute tortoise shell cat btw!

Also, if you live on campus with a roommate ask them if you can maybe borrow some clothes. If not, try to head to a thrift store or if there is family outside of those who lived in that house that you can borrow clothes from. I take 16 credit hours so I can understand your stress. Talk to your professors about what's going on and see if some of them might give you a little bit of a break of some kind.

Just look at everything one step at a time. It may be hard not to but don't go like "But i gotta do this and this happened so now i gotta…." because it will stress you out more. If you wanna have a good hard cry, let it out. Holding it all in won't be good trust me. Talk to the therapist or whatever crisis support group you have on campus if it will help you.

Cats tend to get the heck out of any place they're not happy in, if the dog got out with human help the cats probably bolted in the chaos too. They'll find a way out. If you didn't find their body that's a really really good sign.
Around here the fire fighters will have donations of clothing for those who had a house burned down, or if all else fails you can try a church or like >>109772 said, roommates or a thrift store.

Next thing to do is call to the main office at the college and explain your situation. Follow their instructions, and then send a mass email to your teachers explaining your house burned down and you've lost your school books and work. With the help from the main office and the teachers themselves you should be able to find a solution to your books and assignments.

I would also seek the therapist, the stress of the situation would make this way worse and they also would be able to help you find ways to solve the issues of school work.

Sister's cat was found dead in her room last night, poor thing was always timid and afraid of leaving the house but we all hoped she got out a window somehow.

Mine is still missing, I really hope she got out. We went to look today but no luck, we left food and shelter though and are coming back tomorrow. I just hope shes alive and not just burned without any remains. The firemen said they would have found bones but it was just so bad and intense… I found my burned clothes hamper this morning and the metal was still red hot and steaming.

People have been reaching out from everywhere but its all so much. If I didnt have my boyfriend I would be losing it completely. I cant stop crying.

Also im pretty sure the cause of the fire was the electric wiring in the walls. My house is 100 years old, we were getting work done on the wiring that day and then this happened.

They found my cat dead today. She died from smoke in our kitchen. She was my baby, I had her for almost 6 years. I got her when my boyfriend started dating me and she was our little fur baby. She was from a hoard house, covered in bugs and had a tape worm eating her. I nursed her back to health. She loved me so much, she would follow me like a puppy and come running when I called for her. For nearly 6 years she eagerly waited at the door for me every night I got home. Now I have to ask my friends for old pics of her because this new phone has none.

This might not be helpful, but smoke inhalation can be a quick death so it's likely she didn't suffer badly before passing. It might help to have a little funeral for them in order to help the grieving process.
I'm so sorry this happened, I really am.

I'm so sorry for your loss anon. >>109814 pretty much said everything that I was thinking, and probably much better than I couldve. I hope you feel better soon (a phrase that probably sounds really hollow and meaningless, especially since these things take time to get over and recover from) even though I can't imagine how you must feel right now, and that everything starts to look up for you and your family soon. Sending my best wishes n hopeful thoughts your way.

What can we do about that? Call the police and hope it helps. It's terrible, but we can't help the girl in anyway, whereas we can somewhat console the person who just had their house burn down and lost two of their pets in it.

Fuck off.

Anon, she may have died but at least you were able to turn her life around and into something better. Without you, she might never have known what it was like to be properly cared for and loved. Give your kitties some type of funeral/burial if you're able to. At least you know what happened to her and aren't left wondering the rest of your life. Don't feel guilty even though I know it's hard not to. You weren't the cause of what happened so she could never be angry with you or anything. Maybe once you get back on your feet you can do something to honor her memory like help cat who were in her situation before she came to you.

You nay have lost both cats but you still have the family dog. Make sure to love on them. They're probably scared shitless too and I'm sure both of you need lots of love from one another.

Shit, I was hoping for the best. And now I feel like shit too, thanks to my over-empathy. I'm sorry and I can only recommend you to go see the therapist, perhaps take some anxiolytics if you're prone to panic attacks, and let your pain out, cry, break something, don't keep it inside.

>>109816
Are you going to track raped child anon's ip down and teleport there with a whole hoard of police cars to help? Nope, so stop. We're not the police, but we can give support to a person who just lost her beloved pet. It's not hard to understand.

My mother is physically and emotionally abusive and theres nothing i can do about it because i have no one trustworthy in my life who can help me. Its also embarrassing to talk about because im afraid ill sound like a whiny brat or angsty teenager. I truly am alone and I dont know how much more of this i can take. It hurts. Im so sick of having the breakdowns and panic attacks because of her. All i want is to die but im so terrfied of the pain that comes with it. I often fantasize about someone shooting me that way i dont have a choice and its a quick surprise. Those news stories you hear about crazies stabbing or shooting people on the streets should happen to me instead of other innocent bystanders.

Anon I'm so sorry. i don't understand how a mother can be that abusive, but i do understand the part where you feel isolated. do you go to college? soz i'm just assuming because a lot of people on here are college/uni age, but you might be able to find some help from college resources or something. i just hope you can get out of that situation and in the meantime have someone to talk to about it.

Ugh there's always that one guy on facebook where if another guy posts about how a girl legitimately fucked him over, the one takes it to "LOL ALL WOMEN ARE AWFUL". and when you say men aren't always great either they launch into a tirade about how most women are terrible, more women than men are just bad, and the "current generation" of women try to write everything off as mansplaining these days, and no wonder there are no nice guys left in the world, etc.
i called him out on it, and his response was "oh i was just saying 'women are bad' as a way of consoling our friend" and i'm like (haven't said it tho cos i've walked away from that retarded shit) lol why all that other shit about women then?

My mother is also an abusive piece of shit and I'm dragging issues because of her. Move out if you can and if not learn to play her game and pay her with the same currency. It won't fix your problem but at least you'll be able to retaliate and you won't end up feeling like such a worthless being when she's done abusing you if you manage to return the hits.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon mixing a piece of audio to help a male friend who was having trouble with fl studio. Said audio was pretty shitty and unfixable but i did my best. In the late night I sent it to him and I asked his opinion. He took it without a single "thank you". He implied it was far from perfect.

I have been thinking I was being paranoid to care this much about something like this until today he showed the audio I spent an afternoon mixing and fixing and presented it as something "he fixed himself" to our friends. Not a single mention to the fact this was my doing.

I can't believe this fucking bullshit. And less from him.

As was said, what were we supposed to do about the child? Did you mistake this forum for some way of contacting their local police force?

There's nothing that we can do to help that child, as terrible as it is, whereas we can help the person who had their house burn down, which I'd say is a much more traumatising experience than overhearing something bad happening to someone else, which would be all we could try to help the other anon with.

Why would you come to a vent thread and then bitch and shit on people for venting and getting advice or people consoling them?

Hell, why come to a forum and then shit on the moderation and users at all? Go to another forum that suits you better.

And i still Think its really twisted that a losing a fucking cat is comsidered more important and traumatizing than a little child getting raped. My point was more like.. Say something about that or wait atleast a little bit with the abortion and kitty whining, because you Seem like a crazy psychopath that doesnt give even enough of a shit to encouring that anon to Call the police and stop it, or ther some people to find out where it was going on etc, but who am i to say that, maybe im the fucked up one for thinking this way.

I think you don't understand how third word countries work anon. They're shitty, poor, and you mind your own business. The anon who posted that couldn't even call the police because they're shit in her country, so the most that could be done was yell at the rapist like the neighbors did. Playing the hero in a place like that could get you killed.

Something bad happens to you and you come here to rant about it in the heat of the moment and you might not even read other posts nor expect responses to your own. The purpose is to get shit off your chest. There's an advice thread if rape anon wanted us to call fucking Scotland Yard to translocate their goddamn coordinates in whatever third world shithole they live in. So wipe your fucking nose.

Because you cant empathize with both situations? This is the vent thread, dont be a dickhead to people asking for support you fucking robot. You could have replied to that anon with actual advice or condolences but instead you decide you should shit on someone whos pet died and lost their home?

Yes, being raped is much worse, but they're both horrible events and among the two, the cat one is the only we could provide some support. This has been written again and again above, after this if you keep giving the same fucking reply I'll assume you're trolling and report.

It's more than just "muh cat" as well. This anon lost everything, she lost her home, clothing, school work, sentimental items and to top it all off, a living creature that was like a child to her.
One anon talking about how they can hear someone getting sexually assaulted, and mentions others trying to help irl, is horrible and sad but there isn't anything we can do. Two people gave a response and the anon didn't reply to them. That was the end of it.
There's not much you can do in that situation aside from saying to call the police or tune it out. It's not as if the anon themselves was on the vent thread saying they'd just been raped, that people would be able to help with.
If they didn't reply there isn't anything we can say further. Fire anon has made multiple posts that we can reply to, simple as that.

Fucking this. I've been saying all along there was nothing we could do to help that anon, or proof they're even here anymore. And you're absolutely right about it not just being "muh cat". Their whole house burned down, the cats were just part of it.

This isn't a dick measuring thread where you're only allowed to post if your issues are worse than the person above you. You don't own the thread because you posted about something bad happening to someone else.

The stupid asshole who left me after he knocked me up sent me a message a few weeks ago on FB (the first in a year and a half mind you, after he blocked me when he found out i was pregnant) about how he was "Sorry" because of some bullshit reason that I was mad because I couldnt be with him. Then tried to ease his way into coming over because "he is so lonely and hasnt 'been' with somebody in so long" and that he hasnt been 'satisfied' in a year and a half. We didnt even argue, I just told him Im in a new relationship and frankly I am not all that interested in ever sleeping with him again, seeing as how he treated me when I was pregnant and scared to death. He even kept changing the subject when I would bring up the the pregnancy. Ive been stewing over those messages for a few days and really wanted to let him have it and I poured out all of these feelings into this long ass message, and it turns out the fucker blocked me AGAIN. I am just so tired of this asshole.

If he unblocks you again, block him this time and keep it that way.
If he tries other means of getting ahold of you, call the cops.
He sounds like some sort of narcissist who's gotta keep all his ducks in a row so he can have some sort of admirers tbh., and the way he always changes the subject when you want to talk about how he knocked you up and then just fucked off shows this too. It's great that you've moved on too. If he hasn't been "satisfied" since you were last together, that's his problem. Don't make it your problem.

The same thing happened with me and a guy I was with like 5 years ago, except it was a poly relationship (meaning he could fuck around with other girls and talk about how horrible and unnatural monogamy was) and when he left, blocked me, talked bad about me to our entire friend group so I got ostracised, and I was pregnant with his child, it was to be with another woman fulltime. I had to sort out a lot of shit myself and thankfully, I really hate to say this, had a miscarriage. Fast forward 6 months and he's unblocked me, wants to talk, and every time he sees me in public has to run up to me to "see how i'm doing" and just "chat like old times". He also used fake facebook profiles to try and chat with me. I threatened to call the cops because at that point it was stalking, and since he's already got a criminal record he left me alone after that.

Trying to figure out if it would be better for my brand to tell my friends I'm asexual or just let them continue thinking I'm on some abysmal dry spell.
I don't much subscribe to the idea that I have an obligation to tell people if my sexuality differs in any way from hetero but I can also tell my lack of interest/action is raising questions.

Thing is they're the type of people that still call things 'gay' when they don't like them like they're still in high school (which is where I met them) so I'm not sure how they'd react and I'd prefer to wait until I have some more mature friends before revealing it, but I'm not a very social person and don't often meet new people.

I might have developed a crush on my friend but I'm scared it's really obvious and either he or my partner will notice. A crush is just a crush I have no intention on ruining either my relationship or my friendship but I keep acting like a little girl about it and I'm embarrassed at myself. I've tried to ignore it but I keep pandering to him subconsciously and I'm worried I'll get jealous of the next girl he's involved with or something. I should cut off contact with my friend for a couple of months but even that's weird behaviour that I wouldn't be able to explain away easily.
