I’m really going thru it rn with the self-hate cause I have been thinking a lot about how so much of my attention-seeking behaviour as a young adult was due to the fact that I never had family members who were emotionally available to me and I was mostly sidelined for the more important sibling. I spent like the ages of 17-20 being a disgusting vile human being and terrible partner because I cared more about having someone want to pay attention to me more than the person behind the attention and it makes me sick. I’ve been improving things w my dad a lot lately but then all of a sudden we find out hes sick.
Also i want a baby in me ASAP i’ve been w my boyfriend for 4 years now and Idk if its just cause im worried my dad will never get to see a grandkid but also im scared that because of my mom never respecting my boundaries and I dont want to be that kind of parent so like I’m just so fucked up rn goin thru it such a mess fuck my life bottom text.

Going through the same as nonnie in pic rel, but I know the guy better. These mfs don't even care to get to know you. Be attractive, and have some kind of fantasy appeal he's looking for (mommy figure/submissive that makes him feel manly/manic pixie dream girl etc), and he'll suddenly just decide that you're the love of his life.

I rarely ever go out to eat, and when I do it’s from one of the few places that have high ratings on the findmeglutenfree app. And I still feel guilty having to ask for special treatment.
I’m just super thankful for my bf, he makes it so much easier. He happily went fully gluten free the second it was determined to be celiac. I’m really sensitive to cross contamination and man it sucks, the only other person I trust to cook for me is my mom cause she has food allergies and is super fucking careful. She makes me gluten free batter fried chicken cause I hate frying food and never eat fried food these days.
Fun fact if you’re ever in the American south but chick fil a uses dedicated fryers for their hash browns and waffle fries so they’re fully gluten free.

It is absolutely dumb and I do do not revel in it, I just have no one else to talk to right now. If I don't vent I'm afraid of relapsing. Don't worry, I hate this shit. I'm just a regular woman living a regular life.
Does it count as full relapse if I just hit myself, bite myself, and scrape my skin without blood? Or is it up to me?
I've been so tempted to start cutting again. A situation with a friend and a separate one with my mother have set it off, though if I'm being honest it's been on my mind lately anyway. A few weeks ago I was lamenting that I didn't do it deep enough back when I had the chance, or that I took too much care to help them heal faster, because then my scars would be more obvious.
Perhaps it's because my five year mark is coming up. I can't fuck it up now, I really need to try my hardest to get a hold on this. People's feelings need to stop affecting me.

>>1530754Oh yes that’s very recent. It becomes easier and easier as you go along. I’m not much for social media but I braved Facebook to join some celiac support groups that were really really helpful when I was first starting out, I recommend it. Not going out to eat is definitely for the best especially when you’re still in such an early recovery period. Would recommend joining one specific to your geographic region cause GF offerings and brands vary so wildly. One brand that’s consistently available most places it seems is Schär, they’re an Italian brand. Their frozen croissants are really great, I love their gluten free breads, the schnacks cakes are really good, the hazelnut wafers are really good. Only Schär stuff I haven’t liked have been their bagels and their GF Kit Kats.
I’m sorry about your hair falling out - that happened to me too, and I lost a crazy amount of weight. I had been slightly UW my entire life but suddenly lost a bunch more weight and looked like hell, so skeletal and frail, lost a bunch of hair. It’s been almost 2 years for me now and I’m at a normal weight for the first time in my life, I have a nice butt and I look great. If I get glutened I lose like 10 lbs in a week, it sucks ass and I feel like hell. Zofran helps the nausea but I basically don’t absorb nutrients for a week+ after being glutened so everything I get down just goes right through me anyway. I’m sure you’re familiar.
And yeah munchies do love to claim celiac which is wild because it’s such a shitty thing to deal with. But most people are so unaware of the lived experience of celiac that they can’t tell when someone is lying. Fakers just make it harder for people who actually have celiac disease cause when others have only encountered fakers they don’t understand the gravity of the situation. Cross contamination is no fucking joke.

I don't hate trans people at all. I've never cared or minded them, even have supported them occasionally but a friend came out recently. A male friend started questioning his gender and now they are trans. At first I didn't care. I've had trans friends before who were MTF and fine. But not this one. Lately they've been skinwalking me, this friend. Its creeping me out. I wanna distance myself from them I feel so dumb for letting it get this bad. I wasn't even very close with them but I think because I'm their only girl acquaintance they've attached themself to me. I've got a pretty big group of friends (we're all college students) and they're only in the group because they're in the same class as one of my friends. the group is mostly guys. There were only 2, now 3 girls. I don't understand why they attached to me out of the 2 of us. At first I did not mind until they got really annoying. For example if they see anything that looks even slightly sapphic they yell "AH MY PEOPLE" and its not a funny joke its just repetitive and kind of offensive if you do it every time you see girls holding hands. Like me and girl 2 will have our arms linked and they'll go "You guys having your lesbian arc??" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? It's just plain strange. Or I'll wear some kind of shirt they like and they'll try to ask me where I go it so "We can go twinsies". I always just say I don't remember where I got it. The other thing is how they add "ie's" at the end of so many words. "Eaties, workies, sleepies" it's not cute but really annoying. The abhorrent use of "UwU's" and anime girl chibi gifs in the group chat was ridiculous but then it turned into cats when they realized I only used cat reaction images. "Me and Nonnie could literally be sisters" Is something they said after seeing a reaction image I used, apparently our tastes are so similar…yeah, because you're copying me. I literally can't even stand it anymore. They make random sexual innuendos and laughs about how "We're too innocent" because no one indulges them. They are still a kissless virgin! I don't know why they suddenly started thinking they are some kind of sex guru. I also am really into skin care and now all of a sudden they love skin care too. Like they never cared about it when they were identifying as a guy now they love it and are always asking me if I heard of just random products and stuff. At first I thought it was just because they wanted to learn hygiene but now I know that is not the case. They pretend to "squee" over cute skin care stuff. I will tell you now, this person always smells weird. Their interests are D&D, Nintendo, and flavor of the week coomer anime (Dragon maid). They don't care about this stuff. Anyway, Me and Girl 2 are freaking out over cute Harry Styles pics on her phone. We are all at lunch and one of our male friends said "Psssh, look at them, couple of girls" as a JOKE. and this person (skinwalker) is quiet for the rest of lunch. We leave and later the friend who said that texts me privately that they had asked him if next time he could say that about them too so they don't feel left out. That's so cringey and uncomfortable. This friend felt really weird about them afterwards. Next time me and Girl 2 were talking about Harry Styles they actively FORCED their way into the conversation with "I know right, his hair is so cute" and awkward misplaced "squees" followed by weird jumping around. We both found it really annoying. One day they cried when we were hanging out at them mall. They had INSISTED on coming to the store with us to get swimsuits and when we walked into the store everything made them feel "SO DYSPHORIC" and they started crying and people were staring. The employee clearly felt really bad but didn't know what to do and we didn't know what to do either. Finally the lady gave them a bikini top and some generic trunks and then they were all fine and ready to go eat somewhere. They spout weird lines like "Ooh I know this little place nearby they've got the cutest silverware". I didn't have any fun shopping. I was beat and not happy at all that we let them come. We were just trying to be nice and paid dearly for it. Everyone seems over it but if you try to call them out even a little bit they get intense and defensive so it gets clear that if you keep going they'll lose it or think you're being transphobic. So I'm just trying to slowly remove this person. I made a new group chat minus them where me and my friends can go out without telling. Only issue is they follow our socials and if we post pics comment "I didn't know we were going out Friday! :(". I just want for them to lose interest and find friends more like them and then we can resume our usual lives. I did not think trans people like this were real outside of twitter, I really cant believe how annoying they are.

I know most nonnas hate trannies, whole cloth. I just hate certain types. He likely doesn't have dysphoria and is acting out because he felt not included when he was "comfortable" as a man. Or he has a fetish & is trying to pretend he's dysphoric so he's taken seriously. If he was truly dysphoric, he would have never spent a moment past 18 as a man, either.

How can I tell my friends that I'm going to stop trying to strike up conversations when it's clear they aren't enjoying it? Like I text them good morning as usual and get the most rancid vibes in return. There's a sick feeling just underneath the surface level politeness, and that's assuming I even get a response. I'm the sort of person who would appreciate this kind of communication (i.e. "I am going to speak to you less for X reason") so quietly withdrawing is not an option for me. If people would just tell me they're tired/bored/have some issue (including issues with me personally), I wouldn't waste time wondering what I've done wrong (if anything) and how to fix it. Seriously wishing they would just be up front with me. But, be the change you want to see, right? So I am genuinely asking for advice on how to communicate this idea respectfully and tactfully. How to say, "it's very painful for me to reach out to you lately because I feel like my attention is unwanted and unreciprocated. I feel rejected and hurt. I'm going to stop messaging you first. Of course whenever you feel like you want to talk to me, I'm still here. Im not mad at anyone or trying to blame anyone. I'm sure you have your reasons for feeling the way you do. Right now I just want to protect my own feelings, and maybe even spare you some trouble. Just remember that I'm your friend and I'll be here for you when you need me. I'll never stop loving you guys." Does that sound stupid? Should I phrase it differently?
No. 1530824
>>1530807Your message sounds a little over dramatic and manipulative to me because you don't need to write about being in pain or loving them forever to ask why they are messaging you less. I would put it in a more neutral way. I understand the anxiety and desire to make your emotions known, but I'm not sure that much good can come of that if they already have a reason for distancing themselves. I feel like you would get a better response from a less emotionally-charged message like
>I feel like we haven't been messaging as much as before, is there any reason for that or anything I can do? I value your friendship a lot and I hope we can catch upBut please note this advice is coming from an avoidant with autism so take it with a big grain of salt kek. If communicating like that is normal in your friend group then maybe what you wrote is OK. And maybe you could look into the DBT skill "GIVE" and the other skills.
Also is it normal to text your friends good morning? I feel like that's something you do with a spouse. No. 1530832
>>1530807I agree with this anon

No. 1530848
>>1530817Thank you for the suggestion to include specific events! We've talked before about the distance/weird vibes so I don't think I need to rehash it but for anyone else reading this is solid advice.
>>1530824You're right, it's definitely dramatic. I have a bad habit of writing a lot to try to explain myself while also reassuring the one with whom I'm in conflict. The point was that even if we're struggling now, I really value these relationships. I'm not pulling away forever, this is not abandonment, etc. I'll try to tone that down because I don't actually want this to be a big deal. I don't want to cause them any more trouble then I already have, so there's really no benefit to sharing my emotions in such detail. I am very much into emotions and feelings but there's a time and place kek. Thank you also for the DBT recommendation, I'll definitely look into that
>>1530832Thanks for your input. I think your problem was that you were dealing with a man: a soulless being that will never see reason or feel compassion for another living creature. I also think that there are lots of reasons why people see honest expressions of emotion as manipulative— one reason being a lack of "I statements" that the first anon mentioned. Also people tend to have boundary issues and might feel responsible for another persons emotions, so if you say "I'm upset" they take that as a personal failing. ATP I'm just rambling oops sorry. Thanks everyone who chimed in. I'll try to talk to my friends tomorrow.
No. 1530860
>>1530855In past relationships this is exactly the advice I would have needed. In this case though, these are my very good friends– people I seriously love and trust that love and trust me in turn– who for reasons beyond my control/comprehension have suddenly withdrawn from me. They're not openly rude either, we're still polite. I can tell that we all love each other. There's just something going on right now, and I don't want whatever that is to destroy the friendship we've cultivated. That means protecting myself from feeling rejected/disappointed while also letting them know this doesn't have to be the end.
But I'll keep what you've said in mind. I do appreciate that you took the time to respond to me. Thank you.
No. 1530893
>>1530865I'll take that into consideration. I guess I was thinking of what I'd want from my friends if I was on the opposite side of the interaction, and what I'd want is emotional honesty and communication of boundaries. But you are right. I'm not going to make any hasty decisions. I'll sleep on it and maybe tomorrow decide whether or not I want to have this "confrontation" or just wait it out.
>>1530877I did say that those are things I'm wondering about, but it's not actually what I'm looking to get from this communication. My core message is "I am going to speak to you less for X reason." I didn't mention it in the OP but I have already asked why things were weird/why they've withdrawn and they said everything was fine kek. I take that to mean that if there IS a problem, they're not willing to tell me right now. I have some suspicions on what might be wrong, but there's no recourse unless they want to talk about it. It doesn't look like that's going to happen, so I'd rather just temporarily withdraw– and clearly state that that's what I'm doing.
Also, I understand what you mean about it sounding like a guilt trip. That's why I was very careful to not use blaming language or make any demands. My emotions are my own. I don't expect anybody else to manage them or solve my problems. In the same way, if I say "I feel hurt" and my friends get upset, that's THEIR issue to deal with.

toxic traits and all that shit. when I was younger I was angry but I'm just apathetic now and people tell me they're surprised I went through all that because I don't seem like it and I'm so well adjusted (lol).

Zoomers are so irony poisoned and fake now, there is no going back. Even when they try to reclaim ''cringe but free'' it's still rooted in irony. Everyone is so fake now. I am at fault too, i stopped talking to all my friends because our conversations were just spoutting memes, it was impossible to have any form of real interaction with them. I hate it, i hate modernity, i hate irony culture, i hate cringe culture, i hate phoneys. I feel so fucking lonely. I cant stop watching old convention footage, old documentaries on weird stuff, stuff like RAw TiMe, Josh's movie review. It makes me so angry that i just cannot find anyone to connect with. I would say the decline started around 2014's, and it's getting worse. Every creative space is filled with these people, people that lack any form of passion and honesty. Only non-poisoned internet personality i can think off is Scott The Woz, and it makes me so sad there is no way i can find someone like him, he was probably the last of his type before going extinct. I am so angry that i will never be able to find a bf, all of the cute unironically cringe men i liked are long gone, replaced by vile coomers/troons/misogynists. I feel so lonely and hopeless, i just want friends, real friends who i can talk to about my husbando, sperg about anime and things i like without having to stop to make a sarcastic remark about how ''i am totally aware guyz this is autistic haha''. I am going to die alone and a pariah, but at least i promised myself i wont hide my real personality anymore.

It feels like things are going to collapse on a grand scale at any moment, everyone knows it but almost everyone looks at you like you're a schizo if you allude to it.
Maybe I am a schizo but every day it really feels like society is on borrowed time. When people go out and buy new cars, start studying towards degrees they wouldn't graduate until 2027 or some shit, or the council undertakes years-long building projects I'm just like why?

Long rant incoming. I'm trying to make the best of the situation while waiting for my new apartment to be available (just a few weeks now) so I can break up and move out of my boyfriend's apartment. Over the past few years he's become a judgemental, grumpy asshole, and lately he's been doing down a depressive spiral because he's tired of working and just wants to sit around doing his hobbies. I can't blame him for it. I want that too, but bills gotta be paid and I've come to peace with the fact that I have to make the best out of the free time I have.
It's just a massive problem when that free time also includes living with a guy who, even when he's not working, is so angry about the idea of having to work that he can't relax and cool down afterwards. I hate coming home to a place where I can just feel his anger and resentment filling the air. He will always reassure me that his anger isn't for me, but like most men he sure loves to use any opportunity to snap at me . I was in a work meeting yesterday and couldn't answer the phone when he called. He wasn't able to find his keys and wanted to know if I was home so I could check if he had forgotten them. He called me 20 times in the span of 20 minutes. I answered the phone apologizing right away, and he just snapped at me and let this ruin the rest of his day, and never apologized even when I said that I was hurt by his attitude.
What irks me the most is that even though he can go for an entire day acting as if I'm nothing but an annoyance to him, he still wants to be cuddled and have his head scratched in the evening because he says it helps him calm down. This morning he seemed to be in a better mood. He vented a bit about a task he needed to do at work, but when I misunderstood some part of his explanation, he immediately shifted to a condescending tone and became so bitter that I just broke down crying and begging him to please stop being so fucking mean to me.
He's put on headphones now and ignoring me before he leaves to work. I try to not let his mood get to me, but I've always been really sensitive of the mood of the people I live with, so it's hard. I can't wait to live on my own so I don't have to let someone else's shitty attitude affect me anymore.

>>1531060I was in HS around 2012-2013 and had a nerdy friend group that I loved to death, until they slowly started sipping the woke kool-aid and became insufferable. Where once I could talk about things normally, everything became offensive and politicized. I complained to my parents and bf at the time, who brushed it off and said it's just "an internet fad, it'll pass". 10 years later and it's everywhere.
I don't even disagree with most of the talking points on their own, it's just that the wokest people are usually the biggest hypocrites and often use those same uwu talking points as a bullying tactic.

>>1531009I feel like I'm going crazy too. Everything is obviously going to get worse from now on but nobody seems interested in resilience and being prepared to face crisis situations. All I see is people in denial who think bad stuff only happens to other people, crazy moids whose first thought when they hear the word "collapse" is committing crime, and antinatalist doomers or whetever you call them who think we should just sit here and die.
I'm not too concerned about children being born, I'm far more worried about them not being raised in a way that will let them face the future.
Also, I always had to maintain a full awareness of how dependent we all are on each other because I am somewhat misanthropic and need to keep that at bay, but it's hitting me hard realizing how many people think they're "floating" sort of. City people especially seem to live in a simulation, like the things they eat are items in a videogame and not produced by someone else and the basic infrastructures of civilization are as much of a natural permanence as gravity and the setting sun.

I know this is how society works and I understand that, but at the same time I feel so hurt, like it isn't fair, and it just makes me feel like it's not even worth trying to get anywhere in life, sometimes I just want to off myself, I have no motivation to get out of bed, I walk like I'm in a dream, I'm like a zombie at this point

Generally, I'm pretty uncomfortable with both libfems & radfems, but the radfems here are wonderful people and occasionally I feel like going on a feminist rant to the men in town who see me as an object "disobeying" them. I grew up in a very notoriously blue state so the absolute vitriol I've gotten in this city is frustrating.
I typically hate TiMs, too. They're insufferable. I can't relate to the majority because they are usually doing it for a fetish and not actually suffering from the same mental illness. I do, however, get along with most respectful men. They're just hard to find when I'm a shut in due to my horrifically sexist neighbor

Those that do understand it, but still hate trannies or at least what they do are really cool to me. It's only the ones that refuse to understand it that irritate me.
I also announce myself because I feel like, as long as it's not OT, different points of view from women could help anons see multiple sides.

>>1530789Honestly as someone who used to be gender dysphoric much in the same way you describe, I get it. I would look in the mirror and literally be incapable of seeing myself as a girl, but the thing is your brain is plastic. The more you keep feeding your delusional thinking the more it cements. Do you think you would have "identified as" ftm if you were born 50 years ago, or if you lived isolated on a deserted island with no other human beings? I believe gender dysphoria is real, but how can you know what "feeling like a man" feels like?
The only thing that kept me from transitioning in my younger years was that I thankfully am capable of some critical thinking skills and I knew even if I went on hormones I would never be a man. If I had grown up a couple of years later though, who knows. Maybe you are luckier than me genetically. Maybe you are tall and have better bone structure, whatever, but at the end of the day you are still a woman. I think being straight also saved me. I knew in my heart that I would never be capable of feeling sexually attracted to a ftm, and it was delusional of me to expect gay men to be attracted to me if I transitioned. I think very little about gender these days and for the most part I am comfortable with myself as a gender non-conforming woman, but I still sometimes get a pang of jealousy towards men. I remember watching the documentary "The Vow" on HBO. When cult leader Keith Raniere describes women's bodies as clumsy little children, it
triggers me. Wish I could be stronger, leaner, less vulnerable, but at the end of the day it is what it is, there's nothing you can do about it except take synthetic drugs that we don't know the long-term consequences of but likely will mess up your body in more than one way, and keep living in delusion, trying to bully the rest of the world into upholding your life lie because you are so emotionally fragile your world falls apart if anyone calls a spade a spade.

ive vented before about my homophobic ex who has continually strung me along since high school but the past few months have been a living nightmare. shes been dating this guy (were early 20s, hes 30) for 5mo, 4mo ago she cheated on him with me after we got drunk together (incident was never acknowledged). by the new year she was spending most of her time with him, we weren't talking that much.
2~ weeks ago i tried to end it because of a bunch of other horrible stressful things going on involving study and career and just feeling like a fucking failure, needed surgical repair on my wrist and have damaged a nerve. while im being held in the acute psych section while they go through the script with me she texts me to tell me he's proposed and she said yes. bout a week passes and the shock and pain wears off, she texts me that shes pregnant. shes terminating it tomorrow, which i was surprised by, cause shes going overseas for a year next week (not with fiance).
im trying to be a good friend and be here for her because i know this is extremely hard for her, but today she asks me to get coffee and brings her fiance along (because i hadnt met him, she wanted me to meet him since theyre engaged and im her "best friend", i had been declining offers to meet him because… obviously). im just so wrecked and tired. the only course of action is to stop talking to her finally and assert boundaries but i havent been able to because shes already under so much stress and i dont want to make her life worse… idk what does anyone in here make of any of this. im exhausted and i honestly want to kms.
the part of me thats her ex is destroyed by all of this, the part of me that is her friend is unbelievably concerned about her safety and i hate myself for being so angry about all of this. i just hate myself so much. i wish i wasnt gay its a fucking nightmare

I feel I may be happy without HRT if I can do voice training and get a breast reduction rather than a chop, as well as find a way to guarantee infertility and not having a period without damaging my health.
Honestly, I think my voice and average breasts, as well as being called feminine terms are my biggest gripes. Otherwise, I think I'm a typical stone butch. The mental illness aspect just makes my brain panic at female features, that I cannot change, especially not at this time. OCD makes that even worse. So the severity is amped up only because it's a constant thought and I can't be normal about it.
Unlike other troons in my general age range, I knew I could never be male. Biology was never my strong suit, but I find genetics very interesting so I know changing them is completely impossible, and would be catastrophic if it ever was. That also helps a bit, so I guess we're similar like that.

>>1531897AYRT. You seem like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders and are capable of thinking for yourself. Gender dysphoria is a bitch, but I think what’s most harmful about trans ideology is the expectation that the rest of the world will deny objective reality and adhere to what’s essentially one person’s delusion. I don’t get the feeling you think that way, so that’s good. I’m sorry you’re struggling with dysphoria, but like some other anons are saying, a lot of women do, regardless of whether it’s gender related or not. Altering your body for any essentially cosmetic reason is not ideal imo, but from what you've described it could be worse. With your OCD tendencies I'm worried it could lead to a slippery slope though, where you'll never feel it's enough.
I hope you agree the world needs gender non-confirming women as well. I feel like the current gender obsession is narrowing the window for what is consider acceptable in terms of being a man or woman. Wish you the best of luck.

>>1531894would really appreciate any words of wisdom from any older nonas about this. honestly its really hard to summarise my relationship with her concisely because shes my closest friend and i love her more than ive ever loved anyone, but also i am unbelievably angry at her because i feel like she has permanently wrecked me, not with these recent incidents necessarily but over time. for context this isnt the first time shes cheated on a boyfriend with me, she doesn't recognise me as an ex (see: homophobic, deeply ashamed of our high school relationship and when pushed refers to it as silly experimentation which it definitely wasnt from where i was standing. we broke up because we were outed. to this day she refers to gay people as "deviant", "aberrant", and considers it impossible to have a normal or fulfilling life while openly gay), all of our mutual friends no longer talk to her and those im closer to regularly tell me explicitly that im being abused.
i really want to be happy for her because this is the life she wants and shes gotten it, and a part of me is proud of her for that… but also, i think even if i wasnt blinded by my love/hatred for her and the complicated nature of our friendship, id be extremely concerned about her and i dont know if id be thrilled about her decision even if i was in that position. her family relationships are very turbulent and im deeply worried that shes rushing things in a desperate bid to get away from her father (who shes tied to via property (he bought her her car) and profession (he got her her job)), but im so fucked up idk if im just coping.
also i hate her fiance for impregnating her so carelessly, he's a 3oyr old doctor and should have known better, and now she will suffer for his coom and i actually want to fucking castrate him
i know these rants come across as completely insane and i definitely dont seem stable
No. 1531907
>>1530807Yes it does sound stupid. Go low-contact if you want to talk less, don't flounce like that. If you don't like the relationship anymore then quietly withdrawing absolutely is an option unless you are an emotional vampire.
Or maybe you should stick to in-person interactions for a while since you are spiraling over messages and interpreting vibes negatively. Your confidence in your relationships is in shambles over
vibes, I would be insulted if I was your friend and you thought so little of me that "surface level politeness" was perceived as malicious and you sent me a long ass message like that about it. I would also be worried about you if this was the first time I was hearing you were unhappy because you sound a little crazy.
>If people would just tell me they're tired/bored/have some issue (including issues with me personally), I wouldn't waste time wondering what I've done wrong (if anything) and how to fix itInsane. You should keep in mind that people aren't always gonna unroll all their emotional baggage of the day on you and tell you exactly why they are feeling a certain way (especially over text message) and it's not all about you.
Also your post belongs in the advice thread on /g/, it's not really a vent.

>>1531902You need to sit her down and tell her everything you wrote in these posts and then accept whatever decisions she is making with her life. Even if you love her, it sounds like all she is doing is make you miserable while she is playing house with these random scrotes.
Cutting people like this out of your life is really, really hard at first, but it's sometimes necessary and you are going to so much more happy when you can finally focus on yourself instead of being in this mindfuck of a relationship with her.

>>1531908>>1531912thanks anons. im just so scared. over the years shes made me feel like im nothing without her, that no one can ever understand me like she does (the latter is something shes pretty much said to me, but in less explicit emotional abuser phrasing). it hits really hard because i actually am very socially challenged and find it very hard to relate to other people (sperg). its so stupid because all the ways she makes me feel are textbook, i know how and why its like this, but it doesnt stop me from feeling like im never, ever going to be loved or wanted by anyone but her because im retarded and stunted.
im just relieved shes going to be in another hemisphere for the next year. maybe i can slowly untangle myself
No. 1531928
>>1531925to further the vent, im also worried because if things implode with her fiance she will be completely alone and without support. she has normie friends but refuses to talk to them about stuff like her complicated family situation or her
abusive father. through last year multiple times she had to stay at my place because her father or sister got into violent altercations with her, and when i was out of the state and things blew up again i had to book her crisis counselling because she was too distraught to and spent hours on the phone with her trying to convince her to please just tell one of her friends so she could stay with them and get away from her family's anger for a couple weeks, but she refused. she has always treated me as a dumping ground for her issues, but the last time i seriously talked to her about my problems she told me that she wasnt my psychologist. last time i cried in front of her she blew up at me for manipulating her with my tears. honestly writing it all out makes it look so black and white… its nearly funny how battered-wife it makes me seem to say that when she's good, she's really really good, but it's true. fucking hate myself
No. 1531933
>>1531925>>1531928I had a relationship basically exactly like this when I was around your age too, so I'm speaking from experience: Once you cut her out, you are going to have a gaping void in you for a short while but you are going to find ways to fill it with happier things eventually. You'll meet new people, you'll find a great girlfriend, and then you are going to forget about this girl and at most look back at this time with regret because it took you so long to let her go. I've never looked back fondly at my ex even though she used to mean the world to me and I knew her for years.
It's sad to see someone you care about destroy their life, but that's unfortunately just how things are sometimes. You've tried your best to help her, but now it's on her to figure out how to deal with these problems. I'm sure getting some space from her
abusive family for a year is going to wake her up in many ways too.
Going no contact while she is in a different country is going to make this entire process a lot easier, so don't worry too much.
Keep your head up anon, you sound very sweet and caring.

>>1531900Thanks nonna! GNC women are absolutely needed, and it's so gross that trooning out is portrayed as the first and only treatment, when permanent things such as that, it should be a last resort, for the most severe cases, and only for grown adults who have undergone years of therapy, if at all.
I wish other solutions were researched and pushed instead.
>>1531894To me, it sounds like she's got either bipolar or some form of personality disorder. I've dealt with BPDchans, and most of them weren't anything like the stereotype only because they sought DBT and medications. Unmedicated, they do brash shit like this, but so do bipolar type Is. It's hard to say since I've never met her.

>>1529102Turned out this guy belongs to a communist party in our country, which has like 300 members overall kek. And he asked me if I would like to go with him to a political cafe where they're going to be taking about the creation of the Soviet Union and Marx and other shit and this is so funny to me for some reason. It's just very rare to meet an open communist in the wild. I was once into marxist theory and I'd like to see and hear something like this out of pure curiosity, but it's in another city and I don't own a car and I would have to take a bus and a train ride, which would take like 2 hours overall, and it's on sunday, and I think I'm too lazy for this. Anyway, we were talking about it at the canteen at work today and some people were just like openly staring at us and it was so uncomfortable?? Even my team coordinator stood next to us for a moment and stared at us in a weird way. Idk if it's because it's rare to see me talking to anyone, or is it because he was openly talking about communism, or because they think he's a weirdo or all those combined. Anyway, I really enjoy talking to him but the way people react to it makes me very uncomfortable. I also told my coworker/colleague about this guy and his proposition and he also gave me a weird stare and tried to imply to me that this dude wants to fuck me, of course. I just can't have friends with similar interests can I?

I feel so alienated. I desperately want more friends or a sense of community, but I can't seem to connect with anyone. Part of the problem is that I don't like anything that has a major community. I'm too weird to get along with normie girls and I can't get into nerd culture either, in the past I've forced myself to try and like anime and DND so I could join some clubs at my college, but at the end of the day I have zero interest in it. I don't like any major video games. I like reading and writing a lot and I joined a women's book club near me but it was all older women who were similar in age to each other but distant from me. I have no idea how to find people like me. I lived in a college town and I would see a group of sorority girls walking together, laughing, obviously going to a party, and I'd just get so depressed and resentful about the fact that I can't seem to fit in. Man, I just want so badly to belong…

nonnie. My one brother is 16 and has become a clone of my dad and is pretty insufferable to be around, he wouldn't want to come with me even if I could take him. I have a brother over 18 as well but none of this family stuff seems to bother him that much. I think he's planning on moving out with some friends soon. And for my mom… I think they're only together for financial reasons? It seems like she hates being around him. At this point I really feel like it's their problem, and they should probably get divorced. I really just have to think about myself in this situation
>>1531752I agree kek, unfortunately my parents had me and my siblings really young so my dad is still in his 40's. When he gets mad he likes to proclaim he's going to drive into the guardrail on the highway. A little part of me wishes he would. It's so complicated because on one hand he's my dad and I'm supposed to love him but on the other hand I really struggle to feel any kind of emotion for him.
>>1531775CPS has come to our family's house before because I talked to my therapist about physical abuse that happened 10+ years ago, they had to be called out of precaution. Basically nothing happened, she just tried to talk with my parents about de-escalation strategies with arguments and stuff. I also had my therapist talk with my dad directly about touching me without my consent. He seemed to kinda get it, so he doesn't try and touch my ass anymore but he'll still try and lay on me or grab me from behind.

I’m come to realise I actually don’t get along with a good friend at all, which wouldn’t be a problem if we weren’t living together this year. We met in first year uni and have been friends since, but since then we’ve started going in different directions. She’s started hanging with a super obnoxious group and inviting them around without telling the rest of us. Like right now I’m in my room with the flu, and she’s downstairs drinking with a friend the rest of us can’t stand and her weird brother, pregaming for a daytime street festival that they said they were leaving for three hours ago. This is all on top of her ambushing me two weeks ago saying I was lazy for not pulling my weight around the house and a bad friend for not reorganising the date of my birthday to accomodate for her, even though the reason she wouldn’t be there was because she would be on holiday overseas with her friends from highschool. Idk, sometimes it feels like I’m not destined to have friends, I’m too weird and self conscious for normies but too stuck up and judgemental for everyone else.

I was capable of thinking of stuff on the go and felt alive the whole day. I'm normally so flatlined.
still gonna try something but I genuinely feel like the same problem would happen with another study. that night, I think a huge part of it was also that I was so, so desperate. a few hours in I was about to sob from frustration and anxiety. also, I was ALREADY sleep deprived more than usual so that I couldn't even sleep is ridiculous. I don't know if I should take some sleeping pills if I try again because even slightly bad data is still better than nothing.

Well, as it turns out HES A FUCKING TRANNY. He came out to me months ago and I’ve sort of been coping but it’s starting to hit me. He’s getting back on estrogen soon. What kind of sick plot twist is this?? Is this some kind of cosmic retribution for being on here??? I should have guessed. Men can’t just be feminine, they have to troon out.

Ive been with my partner for five years. A few weeks ago I went on a family trip and when I returned he announced that he thinks he might be trans, wants to get on Hormones and wants to get active in the local trans community as quickly as possible. When I pressed him for details he said he just "doesn't feel good in his body, just neutral" and that he wants to feel pretty. I have been trying to explain to him that he can change himself without transitioning and that I am personally very against taking hormone supplements in like 99% of the situations. I was hoping to one day have a family with him and I do not wanna sacrifice all we have worked for the last few years just because someone on the internet probably influenced him into thinking his life could be soooo much better if he became a woman. He says he is still very attracted to me, 100% straight and just wants to like himself more and care more about himself but I do not understand why he has to take hormones for that? We had a big fight yesterday night where I told him to stop torturing me mentally by bringing this shit up nonstop when I'm just trying to enjoy my day and that I am pretty transphobic because I do not understand how he can call most trans woman he looks up to (Laura Les, Sophie etc.) Goddesses, Goals and all that when they literally look like they do even after heavy Photoshopping but can call normal woman wearing makeup ugly and vain. He told me I am not allowed to bring this up to my family or my friends because it would embarrass him, meanwhile he's getting worked through this by his best friend who is "an open trans ally" and is herself dating some non-binary dude. I have told him to go to therapy, just in general, to maybe talk to someone professional about his obvious self image problems but he refuses to talk to a non-trans friendly therapist and most of those are booked until like next year.

>>1532765Some people are actually very selfish or shallow in some ways and find it hard to conceptualize the importance of others’ feelings; they want friends to be entertainment and not fully fledged human beings who may at times need true love and support. The common term for it is a fair-weather friend.
In some recent cases, people also take stupid crap they read on social media as an excuse to be terrible friends and will espouse dumb opinions like that sharing your struggles with friends is “
toxic trauma dumping.”
It’s a shame though. I’m sorry you had to find out this way that they are so unempathetic. It shouldn’t be hard for people to tell a close friend that they are sorry and that they care and that they want you to survive and find happiness. I feel this way towards you and I don’t even know you, I just know that life is hard, that we all need a helping hand or just sympathetic company at times, and I hope that one day our futures are kind to us.

On my bad trip I hated all men. It's not unjustified and I do know where I'm saying this kek, but it was like the weight of all the things men have historically done to keep women down and are still doing it today, I sort of envisioned that evil embodied in every man I passed by on the street. To be honest I'm not sure if I wouldn't have harmed one if I was given the chance to do so without repercussions.
On another trip I looked inwards and realised I don't need validation from anyone else and I deserve to be happy which did wonders for my self esteem.

it's so random, i don't even have caffeine but i thought maybe it was something i was eating that had a strong concentration of it? but no. didn't exercise for a month and a half and it still happened to me so it isn't that either. i'm so annoyed because i wish i would just faint instead

I started a relationship with my boyfriend when I was pretty young, I was his first girlfriend and he was my first serious relationship too.
Basically he’s shit at communicating and I have anxious attachment so it was pretty rough from the start. Also, he’s as closeted as he can be about his feelings and very, very selfish. I can say he’s an abuser, for sure.
But I grew up loving him in the most toxic way, always feeling dependant, guilty about everything and to this day I always feel like I’m the wrong one, no matter what I do or what I say, I always feel like I did something wrong.
Right now I got to a point where I’m always feeling anxious, even when things go “well”. I’m always afraid of the moment when it will go wrong again (because it will always go wrong, I know for sure.) I’m afraid of the things I say, of the things I do, and the things I think or feel. He manipulated me for so long that even when I know I’m not guilty for this and that, my body starts to panic and I feel dizzy, nauseous and my stomach starts to give me pain, it’s an automatic response.
I know I should break up with him. But I have anywhere else to go, literally. I have no more family. I have no friends. I have no money. I have nothing else. Even the entities where they can help me in my country are just offering some kind of temporary help while I’m supposed to get my life together but it’s so exhausting just thinking about it.
Sometimes I wish he could hit me so I would have some kind of excuse to tell my messed up brain that it’s the final straw. I can’t stand it anymore.

abusive and manipulative, that's a good start, now you need to work on not believing anything he says because he is a liar. Do you have a bank account? If not, open one, doesn't matter which, and DO NOT TELL HIM ABOUT IT. Get a job that lets you stay online all day and doesn't need you to speak to people so he thinks you're doomscrolling instead of working. Be as depressed as you like around him since that's what he expects, but work on your mental health.
It's going to be hard but your only other option is wringing your hands and sighing your life away because you decided you're useless.

>>1533211>nothing in that post sounded hateful or moid-like
>that people learn to get over in their mid-late teensThat part does, it's bitter, cold, naive and childish. People are not factory made automatons that get over shit at specific arbitrary teen years. Trauma can hit anyone at any age and anxiety and chronic depression are lifelong conditions for many, the expectation that these people are failed and are expected to have gotten over shit is pretty fucked up. This is a cruel thought process that will only lead to a positive feedback loop of cruel self reflection and projection on others. It wasn't jumping to conclusions at all, this anon has proven their childishness in their cold assertion that everyone must get over things at an arbitrary age.
This reeks of the same moidal logic that moids spew, I shouldn't have to explain why comparing yourself to others and having unrealistic standards are absurd. This logic is also self defeatist like moids. But there is a insidious nature to this thought process, it isn't just an insular depressed person venting, it's a depressed person projecting their issues on society and society treating them cruelly. Rather than recognizing the cruelty of society and breaking from it they wish to uphold that cruelty and hold others to that same standard as well. I have no sympathy for depressed people who push their depressive ideas on others. Obviously the best course of action is not to antagonize a depressed person, but neither is positing on an online forum rather than seeking actual aid. Likewise, blind empty support or coddling will not break this cruel ideology either so it's best to point it out.

I actually got the fabled "We're concerned you've had so many jobs on your resume in a short period of time, seems like you will take what you need and leave us," copout after spending over a month interviewing for this company via an agency on contract that would be life changing money for me.
Here's my oh so numerous work history and the reason why it changed:
>2019-2020 Company #1
>kept me on a 3 month rotational contract during a global pandemic so I never knew by a month and a half if I had to start looking for a new job or not which I find insanely heartless and tonedeaf
>never offered to hire me even after agency promising and good performance
>left as soon as I got hired full time permanent to Company #2
>2020-2022 Company #2
>left after two years because I got runaround for a promised promotion, my supervisors were shitty, and I was underpaid for all that I did
>took on second part time job at Company #4 to offset underpay
>left as soon as I got full time contract to Company #3
>3 Months in contract in 2022 Company #3
>left because I got promoted to full time manager at Company #4, and this job didn't want to offer direct hire or counteroffer in any way
>2022-Present Company #4
>went from part time supervisor and got promoted to full time manager
>like this job but the pay could be better
>my boss literally confessed I am paid $10k less than other male managers
>the job I was interviewing for would have meant a 30% salary increase
The company I was interviewing for demanded supervisor references from company #1 and #2. #1 was just an agency contract so I had no "supervisor" to give them, and any managers from #2 have all left the company themselves and did not favor me anyway because I wouldn't let myself get completely bullied by them all the time. I tried asking one bitch but she blew me off twice (couldn't even tell me "I can't do it sorry," instead of her dumb little excuses bc she's that kind of shitty passive aggressive).
Obviously I had no supervisor references and so I lost the opportunity.
Maybe I should have lied or paid someone to pretend to be an ex manager. Maybe it was a sign because the company I was interviewing had red flags like "We are like family," and had an incredibly small team.
I don't feel like any of it is my fault. I am literally being penalized because not allowing a company or agency to take advantage of me for years is a BIG THREAT to poor widdle defenseless capitalism.
Won't you all please feel sorry for rich people?!

purposefully to prevent them from ridding the child, and thus imposing a massive lifetime medical bill upon those parents - forcing them to be customers to the healthcare system for the rest of that dumbass sloth looking fuckers life. Retard lives don’t matter.

My trichophilia and desperation for other metalhead friends keeps making me nervous over a guy who's face I've never seen for more than 5 seconds. I sit in front of him and his hotter really short haired friend, and have never spoken a single work to either one of them. I've left my phone screen-side up to show album covers when listening to music around people, I've dug up my denim jacket from storage and dressed in my band shirts. My outfits vary day to day by what I feel the most comfortable and easy to slip on, but my default is almost always dark/gothy. That and hoping someone hears my music and starts up a conversation is the only way to signal to other people in my subcultures but it rarely ever works or catches attention, and has never resulted in conversation or interaction. I have Anxiety so I'm not delusional expecting or wanting others to fawn over me, but I always try to compliment and connect with other "alt" people. I get over it for a few days, then the sense for connection takes over when I see a long-haired guy or goth girls. Nonnies please help me get over this male whos face I don't even know other than the fact he has a dumb little mustache and lower back length hair. Hate how much I sound like I'm back in hs again writing this but this is the only time I've ever been around long haired guys for more than an hour and a half in concerts.

this is so fucking dumb and cunty and makes me feel like an actual smoothbrain but sometimes i wish that men would sexualize me. men tell me that i'm pretty or cute or beautiful not infrequently which makes me feel like an absolute jackass because why can't i just settle for the fucking compliments but like,,, it feels like even if men find me attractive they don't view me as a sexual option? men never call me hot or sexy and i feel like i'm having my manny santos moment rn but man my friends will tell me about the shit men DM them and literally that has never happened to me. i've never received an unsolicited dick pic, dudes don't really flirt with me, they just… compliment me and walk away??? like deadass i'll be in the parking lot of a fucking panera bread and a dude will hit me with "btw you're really beautiful" before getting in his car without another word????? what the fuck is that, what does that mean
i feel like the absolute biggest dipshit pick-me, i should be relieved that men are basically always polite to me but instead my dumb bitch brain says "wow guess you must be a real uggo huh" what the fuck is wrong with me

>>1533785i think that's part of the cognitive dissonance for me; i grew up crippled, fat, and ugly and became so used to the fucked up way that people treat you when you're not conventionally attractive that it's incredibly difficult for me to believe that i am not still that person that children barked at and adults shamed. i have BDD which i know makes things worse because all i see when i look in the mirror are the worst parts of me and i guess not being able to see what anyone else sees makes it hard to accept that other people aren't just being nice to the retard before telling everyone how disgusting and pathetic i am later. and i guess my mental gymnastics end up equating to "well, people will compliment cripples for no reason because they pity us but people don't express sexual attraction because they feel sorry for someone so if nobody is doing that then it must be everyone else who is lying"
i also feel like i have to compensate for being disabled by being as attractive as possible because who could love someone like me if i didn't have something to offer them? like i'm always going to need some level of help in my day-to-day and so i feel like i have to be hot and good at sex if i ever want to stand a chance at being with someone who doesn't leave me for being a burden

Spoilers for A Good Person if you haven't seen it already gahhh just need to vent because my bf is an asshole.
The main conflict in this movie is that Florence Pugh's character gets into a car accident that kills her future SIL and BIL, and the ensuing pain from her injuries and emotional guilt brings her to be an opiod addict as she makes choices that spiral her life in the gutter like moving back in with her mom and ending her engagement with her fiancé.
The movie's narrative pushes hard that she isn't taking true accountability which is why she becomes an addict cause she is ashamed and wants to run from her problems instead of confronting them–that I can get on board with. However, when me and my bf were discussing the movie afterward there was one detail about the accident I don't agree with the movie's narrative on. My view is that she is not entirely 100% responsible for the accident and therefore doesn't deserve to feel the level of self-hate and guilt that she did.
The accident goes that she was on the Jersey turnpike going 60mph when she glanced at the map app on her phone, and when she looked back up a construction backhoe suddenly entered her lane and was too late to swerve to avoid it.
Morgan Freeman's character is an ex-cop and rehabilitated alcoholic who plays the father of her ex fiancé and the SIL who was killed. Him and Pugh's character have a fallout towards the end of the movie and he confesses that he looked at all police reports and is angry that her skid marks reveal she had 30ft to react to the backhoe pulling out in the road but because she was distracted she did not react in time therefore it is all her fault.
So first of all: 1)Dead stopping from 60mph on a freeway with only 30ft is not a lot of time to respond even for a non-distracted driver, 2)Even if she was able to have reacted quicker there is no guarantee she would have not still hit the backhoe and the SIL/BIL may have been dead anyway, and 3)Even if she had successfully avoided the backhoe they still may have been hit and killed by other drivers-statistically, also distracted-who could not react in time to her sudden stop either.
The movie is about fate and how to accept it.
I am not saying Freeman's character is wrong to have resentment, but how is this accident not partially to blame on a fucking BACKHOE that entered a busy ass turnpike?! Had the backhoe not done that, this wouldn't have happened.
My bf disagrees with me, he still 100% blames Pugh's character.
Here's the thing, if the movie wanted me to be convinced that this was 100% her bad for distracted driving, then it should have actually made her an asshole. Lose control of the vehicle or go off the road in a horrific crash because of her phone.
Don't make a backhoe drive into the road and then blame her character for not reacting in time. And do we get a guilt/redemption arc for the backhoe driver who pretty much caused the accident? Nope. Just her, the movie wants us to tut at her character only.
I just wanted my bf to have a nuanced understanding of that situation but he didn't. He escalated the conversation about the movie into a fucking argument. He yelled that I probably wouldn't take accountability for an accident even though that wasn't what I said. He spun it into a personal attack.
So you know what I said?
>"Fine, but I know you and billions of other people have operated a moving vehicle while glancing at your phones to look at a map, changing a song, or grabbing your coffee to sip. The difference is that billions of you get lucky until one day you aren't. We all have drived 'distracted' no matter how brief, so if you're taking this as seriously as you said, then next time I see you changing the song on your phone or doing something relatively innocent that shouldn't cause an accident under normal circumstances, I am going to treat it like you have drafted our death sentences. Fair?"
He was livid. He tried to turn it around and acted like I was attacking him when all I was doing was ~holding him accountable~ which he made seem was so important to him.
People sure do talk a big fucking game.

>>1533796he was a rude pissbaby and i'm happy you said that back. haven't seen it but from how you described it sounds more like the point is everyone is hurting and looking for reason or logic where there is none, but all of the blame is on her even though she's a
victim as well and also dealing with the repercussions? also a backhoe dead stopping on a highway is def more at fault and he can cry about it

>>1533752Haha, I used to do the same thing. Beautiful long-haired metalhead guys are rare where I live. The only two times that wearing a band t-shirt in public helped me befriend someone over metal, the first time I never saw the guy again but he did recommend me some good music, and the second I had to talk to him first, he was listening to one of my favorite bands with his earphones on, it was so loud I could identify the song, but sadly he just had a crush on me and I was more interested in making friends who were into metal than fucking him (not my type either, and certainly not an attractive long-haired metalhead). All the other times I had metalhead friends, I was the one who talked to them first, curious about the music they were listening to - weirdly, it never happened the other way around.
You won't have much luck meeting other metal fans or goths if you just wait for others to talk to you. You gotta show a bit of initiative too. Most people aren't as socially anxious as you or I, they're not as hyperaware of their surroundings as you, so it's less likely that they'll notice your music or fashion. And some just won't care even if they notice, because not everyone is that desperate for friends with common interests, since they probably have those friends already.
As for that guy you saw once, you'll probably get over it in three years, tops. You could make an OC based on him or something like that to try to kill your obsession with the real person, at least that's what I did, kek.

I got myself some boba, and thought I would save money by putting in my own boba balls from a jar I have at home. The lid was super tight and when I got it open I accidentally tipped the jar over and 2/3 of the boba balls and syrup ended up on the counter and floor. I had to scoop it to the trash with my hands and now they are yellow from the food coloring. I put some of the ones in the counter back to the jar, but now I realized all of that is contaminated now with bacteria my asshole cat leaves on the counter when she jumps on it even when she knows she's not allowed.

>>1534034Only thing that worked for me is to limit yourself to a few hours per day, slowly giving yourself less and less time, until you get to 0. I'm currently on 2-3 hours on my worst days.
Keep yourself busy, do something creative with your scenarios (I'm an artist so I usually draw things I fantasize about), fantasize only while you're in bed falling asleep.
It's not easy when all you want is to escape and live in your fantasies, the world is so dark and grim, and you feel like everyone hates you. As long as it doesn't affect your daily life too much, it's not a dangerous coping mechanism, you just need to learn to control it a bit more.
>>1534039>>1534043When you need to be in a dark room daily, pacing back and fort and listening to the same songs for 6-7 hours, while making intricate scenarios in your head, it's not perfectly normal. Daydreaming while walking or before sleeping is super common though, but that's different.

I noticed a trend with my boyfriends family where they pawn stuff off onto him. Everything from ugly home decor and furniture to junk food and used hair care. I brought it up to him before because it kinda annoyed me. But now his sister is trying to do it to me too. His dad just dropped by our place and brought 2 pairs of boots that the sister doesn’t want. They are just sitting in the hall cluttering the place up and annoying me. I am thinking of asking bf to make her take them back next time he sees her. Idk what’s a good way to handle this because I want to shut this shit down STAT

>>1534059Ah I had this problem. If you really don't want to waste any time on it, bin the boots. Then tell them yeah they didn't fit right so we binned them.

If they dismiss you (common reason: oh i'm sure you can find someone else who'll like them), then yeah bin them. They put their burden on you, it's not on you.
I mean, I have family with 2 hoarders who love a bargain. And the first thing that comes out of their mouth when they realise it's no use to them is "I can give it to someone". That someone is a scapegoat who unfortunately accepted a shitty item of theirs in the past. I think they just want an excuse for their overconsumption and it's perfect that they're doing what's usually seen as a nice thing, but it's selfish af.
Sorry I have so many issues with that behaviour, because it's so disrespectful but somebody not in the know would just call you an ingrate.

I've been having a style crisis for quite a while now, I wish there was some sort of stylist online I could send my picture to so I could get some help figuring out what kind of hairstyle/color and makeup I should go for because I feel like a mess and not sure what types of outfits I fit in anymore. I love taking inspiration from different kind of styles so I have a pretty varied wardrobe, but it also means I have long periods of "I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR" because I am incredibly insecure and forget how to create outfits from time to time because I feel too ugly.

Sometimes I am so fucking sick of my mother. I've had a nasty skin condition on my legs and arms for more than 2 years. At first I thought it was some kind of ringworm or other fungal infection, and I did everything I could to kill the fungus, washing my clothes and bed sheets regularly, taking the mattress out to the sun, and being more hygienic in general. I even tried taking sun baths and rubbing vinegar. But the symptoms didn't improve, none of the lesions have ever healed, and it has been slowly spreading. I asked her to take me to the dermatologist about 1 year in, but she refused and demanded I keep trying those remedies. When I didn't get any better, she blamed me for not trying hard enough. Afterwards she just kept buying me different kinds of soap, some specifically to kill fungus and others that had "natural oils", soap for babies or regular soap but "pH neutral", none of which seemed to cure anything. Since nothing seemed to be working, I became depressed and indifferent. But the more I worried about my skin not getting better, the more I scratched due to the anxiety it caused me, especially since I have to be in front of the computer all the time to study. I don't really care about people seeing my scarred legs and arms, it's not like I'm feminine or worry about "beauty" in the first place, so I am comfortable wearing shorts in public, but it's still pretty fucked that I don't know what is happening to me and that it's only getting worse.
So fast forward to about 3 weeks ago. My aunt who works at a hospital (she's no doctor but knows more about medical stuff than my mom) told me that I should see a dermatologist and that she recommended an antifungal soap in the meantime. So I asked my mom to take me to the only store in the city that sells it. At first she refused because she thought I hadn't been using it daily the first time, so again blaming me for not healing (even though she's the one who wouldn't take me to a doctor to find out exactly what's causing this). The people at the store also told me to see a dermatologist ASAP, but they also thought it's psoriasis, which I had already suspected (my grandma has it). They asked me whether I was an anxious person, which I obviously am. My mother bought me the soap plus an ointment that my grandma uses.
Of course, like always, my mother blames me for my own anxiety. Her personality and mine have always clashed a lot, sometimes she's a total insensitive piece of shit to me and often doesn't take me and my worries seriously. She thinks I worry too much about things that I shouldn't care about. And maybe I do to some extent since I'm very neurotic, but instead of helping, she only makes me feel worse. She seems to think she can bully the anxiety and neuroticism out of me, and that taking any of my concerns seriously will only make my behavior worse, but it only makes me feel more isolated, desperate and misunderstood so I have to come here to talk about it. I am literally afraid of venting to her about certain things because I know her response will be to scoff at me and blame me for being so weak. I have other issues in my daily life that I think may be caused by some form of ADHD or something that looks like it, though I try really hard to change my horrible habits (which has led to me finding a job), but she clearly has run out of patience. I can't blame her for that, though.
A couple of weeks ago I also got a skin rash different from this other condition. I don't know if it's an allergy or bed bugs or a skin infection, but I tried everything to stop it (before even telling anyone), which hasn't worked so far. It has only made my anxiety worse. Last week I told my mother that I'm not healing from the original lesions and in fact it's spreading, which seemed to FINALLY convince her of taking me to a dermatologist. She told me of two she knew, a male and a woman. I asked her to get me an appointment with the female doctor because I also have a bit of both the lesions and the rash in my crotch area and under my breast, and I obviously would rather have a woman take a look at those. I was very explicit about it, yet today she told me she's taking me to a male doctor. I didn't say much but was clearly angry at her disrespecting my wish to be seen by a woman, so I just asked her why a man, and then just accepted it and kept cooking myself breakfast while thinking about it. Of course I appreciate the fact that she got me an appointment at all, she's doing what she can. But she always seems to want to win an argument with me instead of admitting her mistake and moving on (sometimes she does, but after a fight). So, instead of just leaving, she kept asking me angrily what's wrong I realize that this might make me look entitled, but mine is a very real concern, which is not how my mother sees it. She thinks I'm being irrational for preferring a female doctor over a potentially better male one. I had already explained to her why I wanted a woman, and she brought her up in the first place so I thought she'd just get the appointment with her and that'd be it. But she changed plans without even consulting me first. Since I don't have enough money of my own for a consultation (yet) I have to rely on her for medical stuff so I can't complain much.

>>1534512But she demanded I tell her why I was in a bad mood and I told her exactly why, which started a huge argument because she got all defensive about the decision that she took without me. I have a feeling that she was just looking for an argument because I purposefully kept my thoughts to myself until she asked about it, then kept blaming me for being irrational (because I prefer a female doctor even if she's not as good as the male one) and for accusing her of "disrespecting" what I had told her (which she did, didn't she?). She obviously doesn't think that a male doctor being likely to be a porn addict and a creep towards his female patients is a big deal. She kept questioning my logic, asking me what I think about my aunt's boss (the family gynecologist who btw is a massive porn addict and manslut himself), whether an older male doctor would be better in my opinion (lmao) and how I could be so progressive/liberal (forgot which word she used) in some ways and not in others (what fucking retardation is that? So not trusting older males because most of them are porn addicts and sexist and don't take female patients' concerns as seriously as male patients' is somehow unprogressive?? Not wanting to, in her words, "spread my legs" for a male doctor to examine me because I know there's a high chance of him being a disgusting pervert somehow contradicts my progressive ideas??? What kind of libfem bullshit is that). She not caring about male porn addiction or degeneracy and me caring a lot, as shown all the previous times we have talked about it, is why I did not bring it up as the reason I preferred a female doctor, because I already knew how she'd react, she'd call me irrational (again) and wouldn't take it seriously (again). She was probably offended and hurt because I didn't thank her for getting an appointment and instead got kinda mad, but let me remind you that I tried to keep it to myself and when she said "well I guess we're gonna cancel that appointment with the male doctor then" I told her it wasn't necessary. My god, can't I just be disappointed that she took a decision I didn't agree with behind my back and that she ignored my preference? And afterwards, she sent me a link to the female doc's bad reviews (apparently she makes her patients buy her products). Ok and? She did not know about this before taking that decision and only brought it up to make me shut up and win an argument. I already know she's not as good as the other guy, that's why I didn't want to cancel that appointment and why I didn't want to say anything. Then she kept asking me to stop fighting over it, even though I did not want to fight and she started it by annoying me to tell her what I really thought in the first place. She always does that, even when I'm not mad and just have a serious expression on my face, it's so fucking annoying, especially when there are guests or we visit someone and I don't even notice I look serious so it's not like I'm trying to ruin anything but she'll get mad at me for not smiling all the time even though she knows that's just my normal face, and she'll scold me over nothing, ironically ruining the entire day for both of us, which is also one of the reasons I hate visiting her friends since I never know if or when I'll accidentally set her off.
I hate it when her reaction to being hurt, offended or annoyed by something I didn't mean in that way is to get extremely aggressive and defensive. She seems to treat us like children all the time and think screaming at us and ridiculing us for our ideas or worries or reactions will "fix" us. Yet she wants us to "act like adults", which I do to the best of my ability, but it's hard to be mentally stable when your parents treat you in such a condescending way, and she's got that mixed up with being childish.
Nonnies, I swear, I can't wait to move out. I love my mom, but living with her is only hurting me psychologically. She and I are simply incompatible and have always been. It's not just this kind of stuff, I'm also a tomboy with no interest in hyperfemininity and she's the opposite (seeing her in bed healing after her weight loss surgery and boob job has scarred me mentally) and this has only made me feel guilty because I feel like I couldn't be the girly daughter she clearly wanted. Even worse, I've taken a decision not to marry and have kids, which she apparently respects, but she does not accept my reasons to not do any of those two things, therefore I still feel guilty about not wanting to give her grandchildren. A lot of times throughout my childhood and adolescence it felt like she was trying to force femininity onto me. For example, I told her I wanted shirts, but she always "corrected" me and said I wanted blouses. She bought me a shitty flimsy blouse that she deemed acceptable for me. I obviously appreciate her wanting to give me things, but I hate that sometimes she forces her decisions onto me, which I guess I should expect when she's the one with the money (for now).

>>1534512>>1534513Nonna are you me wtf? I’m just in a similar position. I have eczema all over my body and my mom drives me insane because she thinks is due to my diet and controls my food. Yes, it was partially my diet, because I would binge eat and eat processed garbage, but I’ve already cut down on those two. Now it’s just absolutely anything I ingest she has to tell me how it’s bad and how I should stop eating it. No rhyme or reason to it either, just flip flops and could be all for one food from something as simple as spinach or nuts to then hating it the next. She just reads shit online and then tells me I clearly don’t care because I don’t do my own research (because I disagree with the food shit). She tells me I’m allergic to shit I’m clearly not, because if I was, I would either be dead or carrying an epi-pen. It really wears me down because I’ve already cut out so many different foods and then having to hear another thing I can’t eat is so annoying. She knows stress is such a big part of this, and doesn’t really try to ease that at all. I’ve been like this for a year, kinda on and off, until February this year where I could barely move and it finally spread up to my face. It was only recently that my mom (but not my brother who wants me to “suck it up”) budged and considered a doctor but nothing has come of it of course. I still love her a lot, but I have serious dependency issues and she and my brother have stunted me in a lot of ways. She really crushes my spirit a lot.
I don’t want to piggyback off your vent or compare each other, but I thought I was pretty alone. The whole derm situation sucks, but I hope you can find some answers nonna. A direction somewhere is better than just stumbling in the dark, so I hope you can find that.

It strikes me as grubby, possessive behaviour, what sane woman would do that.

So today I had the 'pleasure' of getting the fifteen thousandth lecture on why I should be happy for someone who actually tried to murder me. But it's a moid and I'm not so I guess my actual life is worth less than his feelings. A moid was the one lecturing me too, classic!
So yeah, nothing like getting told I'm feeling the wrong emotions because constantly resisting acting on them isn't enough, I need to not feel them at all. God. I can't win unless I'm on my knees begging for forgiveness from a man who's never once sincerely apologized for the hell he made my so-called childhood into.

>>1534687Kek, almost all of them are not capable of complex emotion and when they do attempt to express more complex emotions than horniness, violence, envy, and bigotry, it becomes tiring and the mask slips. They are permachildren incapable of feeling happiness for others. I experienced the same after going through a lifetime of abuse and poverty and only females were ever happy for me when my life was no longer as tough. Even males who had the goal of getting married to me were angry over the fact that I became more privileged than them over time after experiencing suffering they hadn't ever gone through. I don't even use my privilege for anything but charity and they still get angry and salty because they can't sit on their asses, buy tengas and play switch games like I theoretically can.
As a woman, your lot in life is to suffer, cope, and Mommy the main characters (men). It's incompatible with their entitlement and worldview that they should be the ones not receiving constant unearned praise, benefits or accolades.

I was involved with this guy briefly who had a "crazy ex girlfriend". We were working on a project together, ended up getting closer than I meant to get with him, lots of sexual tension. He opened up to me a lot about the hell his ex girlfriend put him through, said she constantly cheated, lied, was abusive towards him. I really empathized with him, having just gotten out of an abusive relationship myself. We bonded over our exes nearly breaking us
We never officially dated but we had a "thing", I had no interest in actually dating him because he was kind of a mess. I helped him get off drugs but he was still a little volatile. We were close friends before anything else, constant contact all day every day, planning vacations, joking about a future with children together and retiring after our project took off
One day, I get a message from some random calling me a dirty whore, demanding I call them so they can get some answers from me. It was his "ex". He had been dating her the whole time, living with her for the past month, and she was pregnant. I told her the truth about everything because I was so hurt and embarrassed I had been played to that extent. She confronted him with all of the proof I gave her about my involvement with him, showing I wasn't the instigator and he lied. She confessed to me that he was physically abusive to her a lot, and that cheating on her while she was pregnant was the final straw. She broke up with him and kicked him out of her house. His response to it all was to drain our business account that had all of my cut of our project in it, and ghost me. He bailed with all of the project work I had done, left me with nothing
Fast forward a few months later and I find out that he's releasing our project, with MY work, under his own name. I start trying to expose everything he had done, and in my attempts to do that I find out his dumb cunt "ex" was still with him and was helping him fuck me over. He started threatening to dox me and send people to my house to hurt me, all while his girlfriend sat idly by and did nothing. It was one of the lowest points of my life, I was terrified of what he would do.
So I gave up, I didn't know how to combat someone unhinged threatening to send his felon buddies to my house. Police were no help. I went on with my life, dealing with his occasional vendetta attempts to scare and harass me over the next few months. He never let it go, he felt like I hurt his relationship by telling his girlfriend everything and kept harassing me over it for so long. Then one day I get a message from his girlfriend
It's a half-assed apology, she tells me he hit her again and caused her to miscarry. He apparently stole a bunch of money from her too. She was asking me to press charges against him in court. I declined, I didn't want to be involved with this bitch or her rotten baby daddy ever again. I would've given anything to have both of them out of my life forever.
As far as I know she did press charges against him, got a restraining order that he immediately broke. He fled the country to avoid the warrant. She's still pining over him on Twitter though. She tweets about "my ex" all the time, and how she's moved on and is a boss bitch with no need for a man. She's posting half naked selfies all the time with tags she knows he follows, so desperate for his attention even after everything. I hate them both so much. I still check his profile every now and then to make sure he's still out of the country, and when I do part of me hopes he's gotten back on drugs and OD'd

I'm prone to nervous breakdowns every one to two years. I'm perfectly fine in the time between breakdowns, I'll get stressed or burnt out and be back to normal by the next week. But every 12-18 months I have a solid 4-8 weeks where I can hardly function. I'll skip classes and assignments, and some minor issues that I normally just completely ignore come out to bite me. It's pretty clear that my nervous breakdowns result from bottling things up, which is they happen at regular intervals, but I don't know if I even ought to do anything about them. Things have a way of working out for me, not "luck," but maybe good fortune? Whenever things go awry, things align in a way that there's not any actual problems that arise. I know how common and debilitating mental health issues can be for other people, and that a lot of people with my issues do find it hard to function, and I find having a 1-2 month long breakdown every few years to be a relatively decent trade off for otherwise being very happy. Even during my breakdowns I'm not sad, I feel fine other than getting stressed about the parts of my life that I'm neglecting. I was searching to see how redditors described nervous breakdowns and one person described it as "if you've ever genuinely needed to scream, it's the feeling you get right before you let out the scream." That is how I typically feel during my breakdowns, just a solid few weeks of feeling stressed, neglecting school, relative social isolation, and letting some of my issues out of containment (for instance, I have a sleep disorder that I otherwise manage and manage well). Everyone else described much more emotional distress and disassociation. I've always been fairly emotionally stable and I think my pattern of having things work out for me makes me a lot calmer when faced with stuff that would otherwise be very upsetting, so it's as though I'm even fortunate when it comes to my textbook nervous breakdowns.
I guess the problem is that I don't view my nervous breakdowns as having much of an impact on my life, but I know deep down that there has to be some sort of consequence from them. I've always suspected that I'm probably going to die young-ish (like 50s) from something relatively unfortunate but not unrealistic, like cancer or a car crash. I'm seriously not trying to be morbid, again I'm quite a happy person, it's just how I've personally come to think of my fortune and its consequences (both the consequences of the things that would have otherwise happened had my fortune not bailed me out and a more general "karma" consequence for having good fortune in the first place).
I would like to not die in my 50s from cancer or cars or anything. I feel like I'm a victim to my own good fortune, to the degree where even during the 1-2 months every year or two where some amount of karma catches up with me, I'm protected from any real and permanent consequences again and again. How do I even begin to break the cycle? I don't know if it's the fact that I'm at the tail end of a breakdown right now that's making me think about all this and I don't know if it's absolutely deranged to see a connection between my breakdowns (my one consequence) and my fortune and that fortune running out. I just want to stop the breakdowns (they do still suck), and learn from making mistakes.

I fucking hate my uni. I wish I didn't have to return there for one day more. I can't make any connections between ppl there, both profesors and the students are annoying to me. Like even with the women I can't in my shithole country where feminist values are gonna get you in hot water but our troon tim collague is fine and dandy and quirky and definitely not giving serial killer vibes. Somehow everyone is fine with him except for me, he randomly went from being intimidated of me and tripping to get out of my way to being mean and passive agressive when I speak up. Also can't even make a single fucking joke without those crybabies crying I'm some golddigger or "poor mens!". Literally jokes about how men have it so hard are okay, I joked but ironically because it's retarded concept to begin with (they were talking about how gyms should have men only sections because apparently there is a lot of women who are sexually harrassing poor moids with their tits and asses or smth). But when I joked I need to upgrade my nigel because they told me their programmer bf's salary I'm suddenly getting scolded how could I say that, because the bf salary is his not hers. Like ffs. Good for you Jessica for being 5-6 years with your moid, earning 2/3 oh his salary at best, sharing an apartment, but god forbid if you share the money. Nooo, have to go 50-50, hope he goes 50-50 on pregnancy for you and carries half of it kek.
My professors are shit too, one year I had porn obssesed old scrote who was supposed to be an art professor but all he ever shown in class was somehow ALWAYS naked women. I think there were like 3 naked men total, and 2 of them were with women and one was covered by shading or smth. Claimed himself a feminist too kek. This year I have one that made fun of me for the way I paint tits. Yeah, you read that correctly. Like he straight up asked entire class to come and look at those drawings while he shat on them. Not to brag nonnas but I'm pretty fucking good, I took reference obs, but I guess drawing smaller breasts, breasts that are far apart or slightly tuberous is no-no. He didn't have problem at all with my drawings that had balloon tities (had to draw them like that for a job gig ugh). Also the above mentioned pickme joined him in on shitting on my art?? She finished art school but I guess she need to go to another because first time wasn't enough kek. Anyway, still it was weird she even dared to join the critique when she herself can't draw something unless it's coping the photo and even then it's well..

Idk if this is the right place to talk about this but I just have been feeling more hopeless about being a woman than ever lately, I think I’m peaking in several ways but I just feel sad and empty from it. Most of my friends are more libfem and even my feminist mom is much more traditional I think than me, and just tells me to move on when I need to rant about creepy moid shit I have to deal with. So I’m not like able to really talk about this stuff irl, and I’ve been browsing lolcow for years but never really had the inclination to post until now lol. But what hurts is that despite how much he seems to, bf doesn’t get it, and I really thought he did. I should have known better bc no matter how nice ur nigel is he never will truly understand what it’s like to be a woman, but I thought he was different somehow, but idk he was watching this shoeonhead video about tiktok tradwives and ofc she was defending the lifestyle and demonizing any criticism of it, and I was trying to talk to him about how promoting that lifestyle online is dangerous and literally glamorizing the patriarchy, it’s not subversive at all like they claim, it’s entirely the status quo to submit to your husband, and we got in an argument about it bc he thinks it’s just their way of escapism and a fun hobby for them as if it exists in a vacuum, and I genuinely feel like I can’t trust him as much anymore after this. I know it’s probably really dumb but I’m just in the other room crying, realizing that I’ll always ultimately be seen as subordinate to all the males in my life, even the “good ones”. It makes me feel like a fucking schizo when no one else seems to care about stuff like this irl.

so im going through something. Depressed suicidal etc. you know the usual cocktail of bullshit. And I literally just punched a object. Sometimes when I wake up I have a moment of pure delusion, like i"ll think about my life and go, "bitch do it, do something end it" or I'll wake up from a dream about having like $50 and go, "Damn I should've just spent it on so and so".
So today i woke up, for a few weeks I've had this box of picrel on my dresser. Everytime I woke up I'd stare at it. Are these animals fucking real? NO? They enrage me, I'm depressed i'm ugly then these uncanny animals on my fucking dresser.
Something about this pictures awakens some kind of fucking acient rage monster, because I don't like it? Are they real of fake?
So I woke up today with an extra amount of self hate and anger, I looked at the box and fucking punched it so hard it flung into my tv and some of the powedery shit flew out of it. Now my tv is ruined (Which is fine I have another one) but it's still a problem, becuase the box is intact, on my dresser and it's like no matter how I turn it the fucking cat and dog is lookign at me. I'm going crazy
If one nona reads this I'll be happy becuas ei'm fucking losing it

2-3 weeks ago, I ordered some prize plushies that I wanted and luckily found at a good price on Ebay but the stupid USPS returned them back to the seller TWICE because of an "unknown addressee" even though the package was already in the city where I live in. I didn't use my real name because of privacy reasons and that it shouldn't matter as long as it goes to the right address. I use my family's po box so there's no way they fucked up the delivery when it's labeled under the post office address with the "Unit #" or "PO Box #". My brother orders on Ebay with the same address with no problems at all so I don't know what's the issue here. Is it that my fake name has no matches or doesn't exist? What if someone outside of the family wants to order under our po box? It's so infuriating and incompetent of them that I have to share my real name to the seller, fix the address, and have to call USPS to resolve the issue. This is my second purchase under my Ebay account so far since I always rely on my brother's. My first order went through with my fake name and the po box but it's stuck in the "PACKAGE RETURN NOTICED" even though I already picked it up so I don't know what's going on with USPS. I want my plushies already. This was my lucky chance to purchase them at a good price.

trying to explain that racism is still real and that you experience it to your white(passing) mom is seriously one of the most infuriating things on earth because she is just so painfully obtuse and narrow minded clearly nothing that hasn't happened to her is founded in reality or is in any way frequent enough to be relevant because she hasn't experienced the same. she could see me getting beat up and she'll be like well it's only happened once this is rare it's just the odd one out ! and no matter how much i explain she refuses to understand she legitimately cannot understand unless she lives it which she never will. she can't get in through her head that there is no solution and it can't ever be helped. it's not solvable and racists do not give a fuck about being right much less being corrected and i would look like even more of a laughing stock. like honestly how is she so clueless when she married a foreigner was she blind all this time, or was she really expecting me not to go through a similar experience if not? it's completely incomprehensible

This doesn't belong in dog hate/love cause this is a vent about my bf is a fuckhead.
Bf has his dog, I have mine.
Bf insists his dog can do hardly any wrong and that my dog is "stupid" and apparently less trained even though mine objectively is better adapted than his. He has a pibble so there is an excuse for its behavior every time. Granted his dog loves me and shadows me everywhere, a fact my bf resents deep down, but it is just not a well trained animal and my bf cannot admit it.
Note all the below behaviors my dog does not do.
His dog compulsively sneezes all over my walls which means I have to clean snot off my house biweekly lest it looks like there's an autistic kid smearing boogers on the loose. The dog sneezes in excitement so it will take corrective training to stop the behavior. My bf gets mad whenever I scold and insists that all pitbulls sneeze naturally–they don't.
His dog barks in the house at any noise outside.
His dog pisses on its own paws.
His dog jumps unprompted.
His dog can be aggro and humps other dogs at the dog park.
His dog doesn't respond reliably to recall and has high prey drive.
His dog pulls the leash constantly even with a corrective collar.
His dog doesn't know tricks beyond 'sit' and doesn't understand fetch.
His dog looks very serious, and is a pitbull, so he gets very upset when people like my sociable, adorable, and better behaved dog more.
He treats it like a competition and is in such denial because then he'd have to admit that he failed in some respects as a pet owner. Yet because he thinks he "disciplines" re: scares his pitbull, that he is a great owner. I am so sick of it, my dog isn't perfect but he is leagues above that bs because I treat him like a little soul. His pitbull can adapt too I just wish he wouldn't insist shit is fine when it could improve.

I wish I could escape my household but I have my cat who I love dearly and she's bonded to me and that's my biggest hurdle. I've had her for 9 years and there's no way I can leave her here. My mother tries to control everything I do unless it's acceptable to her and manipulates me into feeling guilty. I can't live my life at all and am always walking on egg shells. I'm 22 and she treats me like a 5 year old. She's supportive in some ways but so over protective and anxious that I'll die the moment I step outside that I can't stand it. I'm not the daughter she ever wanted me to be either and I feel guilty for it. I don't hate her, but I cannot fucking stand living with her. It destroys my mental health so much. There's no way I can leave my cat. I have places I could technically go, friends that can help me out and enough money to get me out, but my cat is my world and I don't think I could move her out with me in the end if my decision was to run away. Plus I'm a student with a full-ride state scholarship and I'd have to drop out if I ran away from here, forfeiting all the money I've been given by my state. So now I'm just stuck here until I can figure out a way to get my cat out with me or I graduate. Every day is a struggle and I dread waking up, I hate my life and wish I was born to a normal mother who just wanted me to be happy.

Yes, it's creepy when an ugly guy flirts because he's ugly
No it's not creepy when a beautiful man does it
Dumbass moids
The duality I have is that I simultaneously despise unattractive and entitled men but I love to serve at the cock of a hot man
Thinking about how incels cry about this is so funny to me
Cry harder losers while the hot men fuck all the hot women
I'd literally rather be a concubine to a good looking man than be a wife to a guy who's league I'm out of
If I end up single after rejecting 80% of the unattractive or just idiotic male population, I don't even care, I'll keep having sex with attractive young dudes as there are perpetually a copious amount of them who are into older women
I love knowing that my mentality makes them seethe
But I obviously keep it to myself in male spaces because I know they're psychotic enough to literally try to murder or rape me for being a pretty girl who knows it and has standards to match
Truly nothing entitled men both love and hate more in the world than a hot girl they cant have

I fucking hate how everything became so political. I didn't notice it before all that much, but it's crazy how every mundane thing is now needs to be about politics. And I'm talking about both sides. I was very into Star Wars as a kid and lost interest in it after a while. Lately, I watched Andor and was like "wow, it's a nice show, never knew that Star Wars can be something more than a space fairy tale". So obviously I wanted to talk with people online about it. What can go wrong, right? Well, guess no, cause every fucking community goes apeshit over politics. Either you have reddit that can't shut up about "owning bigots" and SW being "so deep political commentary you guyz". And fighting fucking straw men over every mundane thing. Like how every SW community went ballistic over Kenobi, because apparently you are a racist and sexist for hating this show. No, it's just piece of shit story, having black woman as one of the main characters has nothing to do with it. But every criticism of their beloved franchise is reflected by saying "uhhh, you are racist if you hate this and that" over and over again.
Then, there is alt communities made by people who hate that sort of climate. You would think that they are better, right? Hell no. It's all killjoy right wing types who shit on everything and everyone. A show has a black character in it? Star Wars ruined FOREVER by woke. Women exist and do something except being an eye candy? Feminazis ruin everything. Like, chill, dude, stop having an aneurysm over a black man appearing on the screen. How people can be so fragile? Just watch the fucking show and shut up. And if you don't like modern woke media, why don't you watch something else? There is other studios beside Hollywood, you know, and they make stuff that you might like.
And you can't discuss your favorite show with those types either. They will bitch and moan about women and minorities all the time instead of actually discussing the story.
It's like every nerd hobby is just an excuse to sperg about politics. People don't even watch movies or play vidya. They just sit in their echo chambers and bitch about alt-right boogeyman or woke lesbians who will ruin their precious franchise. It seems like people don't even like that sort of media in the first place. They maybe grew up with it, but now just follow the news on their favorite franchise and just bitch about politics without watching the show. I fucking hate it. I like SW because it's whimsical shit that looks cool, so I just want to talk about my favorite ships (as in, spaceships, not yaoi ships. But why not both?). I don't care about your opinions on presidential elections or the state of modern civilization.

This morning bf went off sperging about a movie. I was listening quietly while browsing my phone and occasionally making eye contact. I turned my eyes back on my phone for a moment. Bf accused me of rolling my eyes. He always does when he's upset I don't give him my undivided attention over any mundane thing. I said no I did not roll my eyes and that I was just looking at my phone. He insists I did in a back and forth that went on for 5 minutes. I finally had enough. I got upset cause I am tired of having to defend myself and not being trusted that I am telling the truth. I pointed out it doesn't even make sense that I would have rolled my eyes and esp cause I know how he gets triggered about it. He escalated and said I am being negative and that I have an attitude. He's right, I had an attitude at that point but him accusing me of copping one right off the bat over the situation is a lie. I was patient until it was bullshit to keep being so. I am a human and I am allowed to not be perfect when I feel browbeaten. He insisted because I was upset about the accusation that it meant I had actually rolled my eyes.
I told him about my trauma and frustration of constantly being accused of rolling my eyes by my narc mom and bullies in the past and I had enough of not being listened to just because he is insecure.
Like I couldn't believe I was being scolded for eye rolling and tone as an adult woman! I should be able to browse my fucking phone in the morning. I was cuddling and kissing him earlier so it's not like I gave him no attention today. I was listening, only perhaps not in the way he wanted me to be.
He went from being antagonistically smug that I was the one with the upset tone, to screaming and yelling at me because I called him insecure. Hit the nail on the head, I guess. He screeched that I was correct about his insecurity BUT that actually made it more my fault for not being extra sensitive. I am supposed to be able to automatically know his reasons for why he mistreats me and to readjust my reaction to his mistreatment accordingly. Clown shit! He yelled how I was ruining his morning. I told him to go in the other room to calm down cause I had to get ready for work. He followed me into the bathroom and kept trying to stir up the argument because he was crying and angry. He does the same thing my mom used to do where he keeps coming back again and again cause he just cannot let the situation cool just cause he isn't. When I was about to take my call I finally got him to go away but he demanded after that I come "comfort" him.
And of course, after my phone call I go into the room and he acts contrite and how he "blames himself." Ok, that's nice, but had I not put up any resistance to your accusation you would definitely be thinking you were in the right though.
This is so stupid.

I know you heard it a thousand times here but I hate normies so so so much I just can't, like I try to have some deeper conversations with them and there's silence, or when I try to ask for their hobbies, I have people literally telling me they have no interests, zero. Is this what capitalism does to people? I don't think so because me and others similar to me also wageslave 8 hours a day and we still have interests and something to say and some original thoughts. With them it's just their work, their partners, their kids if they have them, what they eat, and their cars, and eventually some instagram dramas. Like Jesus Christ. I wish I was a normie, they're so much happier than me, not only bc they know how to socialize but also their minds and totally not preoccupied with all the fucked up things around them and they don't mind them and for me it's enough to make me even depressed. Also they have zero hobbies so they don't have to worry how to save money and time for anything else than basic shit.

Some valve pipe under the kitchen sink randomly broke and starting leaking steaming hot water all over the floor and sink cabinets. Older sis had to stick her hand in the water shutoff box filled with spiderwebs and we had to soak up everything with towels which are drying outside now. A bucket used to catch water pipe drips was only halfway full, we found green and black mold under the soaked boards, and of course a dog had to add his pee to the mass of soaked towels and blankets and my mom's dresses that were already fallen on the floor. It all happened right as I turned to walk towards my bathroom. Now I'll be going to my only class of the day and an hour-long advisement wiped down with baby wipes and in my pajama shirt. Basic hygiene and a little perfume = done, couldn't be cared to waste time to make myself "presentable" after dealing with that stress.

I went to a small support group for lesbians and was a little afraid at first in case there were any TiMs there. Thankfully, the first hour was all women just vibing and talking about what had been going on in their lives. In the last 30 minutes this handmaiden comes in and starts talking about TiMs and how lifelong lesbians need to educate themselves because they haven’t been doing the work, then specifically says we should look up picrel Alok Vaid-Menon. Everyone got quiet and uncomfortable while the group leader tried to appease her and it felt like the handmaiden sucked the soul out of the group when previously there’d been laughter and fun and raw emotion.

I don't get this impression when I just look at myself in the mirror, everything is moderate and neither too sharp nor soft, my nose is not even big, but when there are two or more mirrors or a photo depicting me from a particular side, I'm a hag with weirdly huge features. Tbh I've never seen a single person that would look similar to me. Yeah, I do share features with my parents, grandparents etc. but their faces make sense and mine just doesn't, it's like it lacks cohesion idk.

went to a bar out of town on a first date with a moid. go to use the restroom and there are two of them, both labeled with this bullshit. already feel fucking uncomfortable seeing that but have to pee so what can i do. push on one door, it doesn't open. push on the other and there's a fucking moid inside. and apparently these bathrooms are fucking single stall. he appeared to be washing his hands, i'm just flabbergasted that he wouldn't lock the fucking door, i've never been to this place and i'll never return. why wouldn't you lock it? if i would've come in 10 sec earlier i could've seen his penis. i felt so massively uncomfortable, embarrassed, like i'd done something wrong. it felt so wrong. why can't we just have mens and womens rooms?
and ofc i walk out skeeved as fuck. i tell my "date" what's happened and he's like "well that's on him for not locking the door." i'm like "why the fuck do they not have gendered restrooms? is that normal in this town?" and he says "well i think its for the trans and nonbinary folk." and changes the subject immediately. i feel so creeped out idek how to explain it

When I was about 8 or 9, my 3rd grade teacher's Guinea Pig had babies. I was allowed to adopt one and I named him Pig. I feel such incredible guilt over the way Pig lived his life. I took terrible care of him.
My parents and I went on a trip to the mountains for the weekend and left Pig in the care of my 2 older siblings. We were looking around an antique shop (I will never forget this) when my dad got a call from my brother who told me that Pig had died. It turns out, one of them (or maybe me or my parents did before we left for the trip?) put his cage outside in the sunshine and forgot about him there, and he died from heat stroke, I'm assuming.
He was the sweetest thing and I can't believe the way I neglected him in his life. I would leave his cage dirty, absolutely filthy, because I was fucking 8 years old and didn't know better. I knew I was being lazy but now that I'm older, I can see how absolutely vile and not okay his living conditions were. I was young, but I was responsible for him, and I completely let him down and his life must have been miserable. I also now know that Guinea Pigs are social animals and it's cruel to have one on it's own without a Guinea Pig friend.
He was so sweet. He was solid orange. He used to squeal up a storm every morning when someone opened the fridge because he knew he was about to be fed. He loved all kinds of fruits and veggies. He never bit me or anyone. He didn't deserve to live and die like that. I know I was responsible and frankly, old enough to know better, but I'm also so disappointed in my parents for not taking it more seriously and punishing me to teach me the importance of his care, or rehoming him to someone who deserved him. He deserved a clean living space. He deserved a long life. He did not deserve to die dirty and alone in the hot sun. I have a really hard time with this 20+ years later.

You're not alone in caring so much for the ones you've known, and fuck those adults who should have known better. What helps me is knowing there are rescues out there putting in the good fight.

I also try my best to channel the pain and guilt into taking the best care possible of my current pet.

>>1536448I definitely relate. What I did was find the routine with the least amount I can work out while maintaining the physique I want. This is widely variable from person-to-person but maybe this mindset can help you too.
No. 1536490
>>1536448Just lift weights, it's the most straightforward way to build muscle compared to sports. I also find it surprisingly easy because you can rest between sets and you only need to really suffer on the last couple of reps for it to work. I wouldn't say it's enjoyable but it's not miserable either.
I find diet way, way harder, near impossible. Restriction
triggers binging for me (lose 10kg gain 15kg back kinda situations), protein heavy foods are my least favourite of all food types, and it always feels like a miserable, unfair deprivation that involves constant temptation and self denial. Exercise is just a neutral routine so I do it regularly and pray that somehow it will turn into muscles even with my terrible protein intake and then eventually I can get away with eating more.

I'm so sick of seeing good people facing hardships and narcissists getting everything they want from life. I'm not even talking about myself, even though I also think the misery I face is way too much, but even my coworker, she's a sweetheart and the life kicks the shit out of her constantly, her life was so hard it makes me sad, from abusive home to her fiance dying tragically, mom dying, facing problems with relationships and work because she was too quiet and shy, being forced to constantly rent another apartment because the owner of the previous one decided to sell it and gave her like 2 weeks to find something else, one time she basically became homeless, she has way more bad luck than good, also health problems. Meanwhile I know a girl who's a narcissist and constantly talks behind people's back, loves you when you do things for her but immedietely gives you cold treatment if you disagree on anything, she lived on easy mode and was constantly served by her parents and now her boyfriend, people at work love her because she's chatty and sooo interested in the work she's doing, she's so good at faking she cares for people, I constantly head about her achieving some important mile stone thanks to her boyfriend who does everything for her, like finding a nice apartment or buying an expensive car. Parents send her money if she needs them. They also paid for her private school because her grades were too bad for a public school. Now she gets ahead in work very fast and people literally love her. Like she just gets everything. For what? I don't get it. What's the point of trying? I feel like I'm getting nowhere no matter how hard I try and others get everything just for existing in their natural state

Nonnies who’ve had to put their sick dog down - how did you know it was time? My girl has serval high grade mast cell tumors that can’t be removed due to their size and location. She eats normally and still gets excited to go for walks although she has been moving a bit slower than before. My fiancé said we should put her down while she’s still feeling normal so she won’t have to be in pain towards the end but I’m afraid of ending her life too early. I don’t want to be selfish but I’m not ready to say goodbye.

She would get really upset during thunderstorms, then she just started getting upset when it became nighttime. She had trouble walking, then I had to help her walk outside when I felt like she probably needed to go potty because she wouldn’t rouse herself. Before that she would limp everywhere, she wouldn’t walk quite right. She deteriorated like this within like a week or two, and then I knew it was time. Don’t worry, she’s happy to spend her last days with you and you’ll know when it’s time. ♥

I'm a supply teacher and I am a bit worried about the school judging me based on my popularity with the Y10-11 boys even though I shut it down with a heavy hand. My Mum's logic is that the fact they feel they are so familiar with me means I am doing something wrong.
I am very strict, disciplinarian and even have a reputation for being a tough teacher, but I use humor and praise to connect with my students where appropriate. I get excellent feedback on my behaviour mgmt.
This has only happened in the last 2 days, they crowded around me as I left the school, and at lineup, not to say anything inappropriate but just to ask how my day is etc.
When they ask my name, age etc. I tell them verbatim 'I do not discuss my personal life with students'.
I don't feel I have done anything wrong but am a bit worried about how the optics after speaking to my Mum, she says they won't offer me a perm job (which I desperately want - I love the school).
Today a Y10 boy asked for a selfie with me, I scolded him and told him that was inappropriate. I even dress frumpily and tie my hair back to counter my youth.
No. 1536971
>>1536959boys are perverts now and pornsick, so if you're young and not hideous they are going to take advantage and think they can pull shit. trying to dress frumpy if you're attractive won't do much, and the strict teacher act when you are actually a good and empathetic person seems like it might turn them on more. the selfie request is very weird and i'd keep track of which boys try to cross boundaries like this. this year of kids already knows you, but in the future dialing back humor might lower this. look up boys moaning in classroom or sexually harassing teachers, they do not give a fuck now unfortunately.

>>1536959I know how you feel,
nonnie, the kids at the school I went to for my internships were like that as well, I don’t know, sometimes they just want you to be friends with them because teachers tend to overshare from time to time.
So when they see you, that you probably don’t go there often, that you avoid answering to their questions, and such, they want to know more and they want to get on your good side because they think you’re interesting.
I don’t know, I think getting along with the kids is important, and I think you’re doing amazing tbh, you don’t need to be their best friend or use them as therapists to be a good teacher, so I think that’s honestly a great point for you to hire you permanently.

'You can't say things like that to me, it's inappropriate'

We don't know exactly why, some say it was a score with other members of his community, others that he killed himself. This is what I've heard from my mom, who also occasionally received insults from him. On Facebook, messages of compassionate tributes are pouring in, his friends say he was a good man. Of course he was. Anyway I'm just very happy that he's finally dead, he had just moved out in a town very close to where my aunt currently resides too…

>>1537048Nona, just learn what specific ingredients you need for your skin type or issues and mark them to filter out products without them on a site where you buy this stuff. Then look at the products that have reasonable price and mostly good reviews (although there are good products that lack reviews because they're relatively new or just not popular so it's not that important) and check the ingredients lists, for example, here
https://www.skincarisma.com/ingredient-analyzer and here
https://incidecoder.com/ to see if they're good or crappy. Personally I think you don't need a lot of products, and that's what youtube dermatologists usually say too: a wash, a toner and/or serum, moisturizer, and an exfoliant are enough (maybe also eye cream/serum if you want). It might still take some time to choose products but at least you'll have a better idea about the ingredients and you'll spend less money. Last time I was buying skincare I looked for the specific ingredients and cheaper options/discounts, and I only spent 26$ on everything I needed, it was all different brands: polish foam, bulgarian gel cream, korean serum and peeling gel, and they work absolutely fine for me, might be not the most perfect and I'll try something different next time but I see that my skin looks way better than before anyway.

My fiance is pissy with me because his dad called and said that his aunt and uncle are in town, and wanted us to come over to his dad's house. I was honest and said that I didn't really feel like it, and he started getting all huffy "But-but-but you NEVER come with me when they ask us to come over!"
Which is kinda true. Honestly, I just don't like hanging out with ANYONE'S family, mine included. I like his dad, but I'm not a fan of his super-conservative, judgy girlfriend, and every time we see them they just complain about liberals and gay people and how "the world is OUT OF CONTROL!!!" the entire time and it's just tiring. Also, my own parents are very overbearing and I have to walk on eggshells with them constantly.
So in my mind "Family Time" = "Chore/Obligation" rather than something fun.
I also just started a new job, I'm exhausted today, and I just don't feel like answering the "When is the wedding??? How is your new job?? Does it pay well??" questions. And come on, if his aunt and uncle were coming to town, they could have given us at least a day's notice.

I will give you that this is a very serious issue that absolutely will have consequences for your career if you happen to say or do the wrong thing one day.
That's why you need to start documenting every negative reaction and taking
real disciplinary steps when the boundaries and grey rocking don't work on the worst offenders. When students think they are on the same level as you, which unfortunately getting too familiar with jokes/praise can do, they will lose respect for you.
What you're going through is not considered flattery, maybe only by those young and naive enough to interpret it as such. But what it is is actually a push against your authority by belittling you. And whether you want to be honest with yourself about it or not, the ways which you think you've been handling it have only enabled the behavior to continue. Do with that as you will.

the tradeoff is you can still get fired for not bending the knee to troons, sadly

>>1537457I will next time. It can be hard because they are very subtle, strategic and will only just tow the line so that they can’t be disciplined for anything explicit, I wouldn’t also then want to be accused of encouraging it and my worst fear is that the boys will say I am ‘flirting back’ or something horrible and untrue.
I have already sent an email about it to the DSL so I have been able to get my word in first before some batshit version of events from a jealous colleague makes the rounds.
It’s 5am and I’ve been up since 3 worrying sick about this, I am literally afraid to go in tomorrow after what happened yesterday, I feel not only will they not give me a job but will not use me for supply there anymore. Fuck.

>>1537479I'm not going to do anything. I'm very sorry that happened to you, anon. I can't imagine how painful that must've been. Hoping you're with someone who treats you with the love you deserve.
>>1537481I don't even know. It's just that he's a really good friend, but I'm aware he's attracted to me so I just feel weird. It's more that I wish I didn't feel the same way, if that makes sense. I'm not going to wreck the marriage or encourage anything untoward, but I feel shitty for having these feelings.

>>1537492No thanks, anon. I'm not going to do something that will hurt another woman. If he chooses to stray, it won't be because of me.
>>1537494Fucking hell, that's evil. I can't fathom how or why they'd be so cruel. Part of me hopes there are men out there that aren't fucking scrotes, but I'm starting to doubt it, tbh. Been encountering a lot of unironic incels lately, and it's depressing.
>>1537495I haven't told him how I feel, and I'm not going to. If push comes to shove, I'll end the friendship.
