ok so this is probably petty but… remember that rich girl pituca fantasy author i’ve ranted about here before?she always made it seem like she was living this dreamy, self-made author life, just vibing off her creativity and hustle.
anyway, she posted a tiktok last night and. idk. it hit weird. she straight up admitted she’s not living off her sales, said she now works full-time at her dad’s factory (not “consulting” like she used to claim) and just sounded… drained. like genuinely resigned and flat in a way she never does. no upbeat tone, no “i’m so grateful” . just pure burnout.
and here’s the part i feel kind of evil about: it felt good to hear it. like, relief. like finally, finally the illusion cracked. i knew it wasn’t sustainable. i knew it was smoke and mirrors and that her books weren’t paying the bills. and for a year people made me feel like a hater for pointing that out. i even started wondering if i was just bitter.
but now it’s like… oh. she was performing! "BEST SELLING LATAM AUTHOR" MY ASS
i know it sucks that she’s clearly struggling, and i don’t wish her harm or anything. but part of me is just glad to have my instincts confirmed. not everything is envy.
anyway. i hope she finds peace or whatever. but i’m sleeping a little easier tonight kek

>>2555412I’m younger than anon by a little and I still find it kind of crazy. I would want to live life a little, I feel like I just left high school, and I’m not even childish for my age - but every early 20s person I know is … immature. Very. Scares me to imagine them as parents but hopefully they wouldn’t be doing too much damage so long as they are good enough parents once they’re older and can speak and get traumatised or resent them. I wonder if it’s a generational thing because before young adults seemed much more mature, idk. But my parents had me at 22, and I can literally remember them maturing in my memories which is creepy and disappointing because if I had the experiences I did when they were a decade older, god the amount they mellowed out… Still, some people are bad parents at any age, and some people can afford to have children young both financially and mentally, in those cases if they want and would enjoy raising children I get it. Not to be “eugenicist” or whatever but what I can’t stand is broke people my age churning out babies.
Doesn’t sound like it’s anon’s point though. I don’t know what chronic illness she has but it sounds like she wants kids at one point but believes she won’t be able to. That’s sad to me
even as a semi anti-natalist kek>>2555413This is a strange idea for me because I thought it was common knowledge that having children in your early 20s (or teens) has a higher risk of miscarriage since early 20s women have lower luteal and pregnancy progesterone levels. They characterised it as a late ovarian adolescence period, but people act like it’s only men’s bodies that change after 18 for some reason, despite it being such an arbitrary number and not a biological one. Of course this isn’t everything but if you don’t have fertility issues it sounds like you’d have a healthier baby if you waited until at least 24ish, especially when you consider financial situation on top of that.

I have been obsessed (limerent more like) with a 3dpd scrote for like 6 months at this point. I feel bad that I think about him so often, but I will literally never meet him in my life (he's completely decrepit today) and I only really fantasize chatting with him and bonding with him platonically, maybe some flirting. I'm actually starving for sexual tension and butterflies, but I'm too much of a wimp to invite it into my life with another man. I don't want to ruin my life and cheat but Im scared of even giving a playful glance. I literally think about him pretty much every night before I go to bed right next to my Nigel because its genuinely relaxing and instantly pts me to sleep.
I'm retarded because the root of the problem is that I'm scared I'll never be sexually "wild" again, and I'll never have butterflies and intense lust for a man ever again without feeling guilty and restrained about it.
My Nigel is genuinely good and is obsessed with me, he is miles above any man I've ever known. But for me, the nervous excitement between us hasn't been present for a long time and will never come back. And yet he's the only man I can imagine spending the rest of my life with. And I do want to do that. But I'll never feel my heart beating rapidly on a date or feel a rush of dopamine when he just so much as looks at me or feel so wet from just his touch that my underwear gets completely drenched in hot arousal. I really miss that and Im scared I'll never feel that again.
No. 2556531
>>2556506Nonnie, how do you know you are NEVER going to feel that with your nigel again? There's a hard truth to swallow, if you only feel the rush of adrenaline and butterflies in the stomach when you are with someone new or at the start of a relationship, you are never going to be with someone forever, or for more than 2~5 years. I also for a bit thought that i would never feel the rush of adrenaline with my nigel, even though he's really the perfect man for me, but i discovered that to have that rush of adrenaline back you just need to communicate. Are you feeling "bored" or something like that? Let him know. Maybe he's feeling the same. Maybe you guys need something new, a new fantasy, or simply you need that moment of sadness and insecurity of talking with him to remember that you are still attracted to him. Attraction often fluctuates and there will be times you are going to think that you are unable to feel attraction again, but something random he does will bring everything back. Don't destroy a perfectly healthy relationship for an ambiguous desire, that scrote is nothing more than the representation of what you desire that your nigel would be. What are you really desiring? What is lacking?

>>2556531First off, thanks for giving such a thoughtful and considerate reply, pretty unusual for an IB.
If you actually want an answer – We even have good sex but it doesn't really come from a place of "I wanna fuck you" so much as me satiating my horniness. Unless I'm drunk. It makes me feel pretty bored because he doesn't want to do the freak shit I like. It's not even that freaky, he's just extremely vanilla. I'd take it over a "daddy dom" (barf) any day, but I'm still not ecstatic.
I'm a little scared to admit it to him but to be brief, he's a little too clingy and handsy and it makes him look immature, hes insecure about his skinnyness and wears baggy clothes all the time (but when he accentuates his waist it looks amazing on him). The most abstract part is probably that he's also scared to be masculine, I think. Like I'm straight, I want a masculine guy, but it's not as simple as it is for men like "just put on some mascara and a skirt", I wouldn't know what exactly to tell him to do.
No. 2556689
>>2556588I'm happy i helped you even if a little bit.
To me it seems like you guys have many, many things that have been left unsaid, insecurities that he has, and both of you know so, but neither got the courage to speak about it. That kills a relationship. You don't know him, you probably don't know exactly what he wants and maybe you don't even know what he really likes, my nigel also was kind of vanilla before we met, i made him like everything freaky that he likes nowadays, there's hope. I think both of you should be secure about yourselves at least together. Discover what makes him insecure, what exactly is it that makes him not feel safe with the idea of being more masculine, maybe he feels so effeminate that it's humiliating to try being masculine. There's so, so many possibilities.
You need TRUE intimacy, there's no way your relationship will go on without that, you need to let him know that you need him to be vulnerable enough to let you know his deepest insecurities and fears. You too, you need to be vulnerable with him, and being vulnerable includes letting him know your true sexual desires and not being afraid to be yourself. If he loves you and you love him, then this will save your relationship. Keep it in mind: the only way to love is knowing who you love. If you don't know him, you don't love him.
You don't need to tell him what will make him more masculine, it's much better that you let him discover himself through his relationship with you, maybe you need to make his insecurities actually seem like something good, like the fact that he is skinny. My nigel is short, very short. We make this characteristic that could be an insecurity into a desirable trait, a charming trait that really does get me aroused. Once he is himself, you will find an arousal towards him that you didn't think you could ever feel. I feel like it's not about masculinity, but about his view of himself in relation to you, if that makes sense.
I would, though, be extremelly cautious with my words when telling him about the things that make him seem immature, maybe instead of telling him he seems immature, you could lead him to the opposite path by telling him that you like when he does "…" (something that does not make him seem immature or something that is the opposite of what he does). Telling him he seems immature is quite offensive and that can break his confidence.
Keep those things in mind and i think things can get better. Be patient with him and think about him with love, not with judgement, think about him the way you would like him to think about you. Things should get better, it may not be easy, but if you love eachother it should be possible.

I can't stop obsessing about my previous coworkers and flatmates who wronged me. They were sabotaging and essentially poisoning me over the span of several months. God wants judgment, revenge to be up to him, but I don't feel like a good follower if I am constantly raging. I can forgive them but I can't deal with the damage and the fact that they're still out there thinking their ways are alright. I wish hell was a circus. Imagine being gaslit, sprayed with allergens, your room rearranged, stalked, overworked, humiliated by having to clean up drug paraphernalia, urine and feces on the regular at a restaurant, coworkers disappearing for hours on the toilet, being told off when I complain about joint pain from being overworked and then my supervisor lying that I was actually sabotaging them by working harder. This happening after experiencing 2 decades of extreme corruption involving physical abuse, drugging and money laundering (not on a large scale) pissed me off more. No support network AND then lowlife creatures from the pits of hell harassing me is a cherry on top. I have considered suicide but it is against my religion.

I completely understand the feminist perspective for hating porn, but i have to admit that personally it's not the main reason why i hate it, although i keep it in mind. Aside from male porn actors looking like Joe Rogan from temu a lot of the time, for me, it's just so fucking cringe that it makes me want to avoid it, especially general porn involving two people fucking. It feels like i am sitting in a cyber cuckchair, i don't understand how anyone is supposed to get off to that kind of shit unless they are into being a cuck. I feel like i am witnessing something i shouldn't be seeing and all the dirty talk and theatrics makes me cringe so fucking hard. This feeling also extends to movies and tv shows, even though the sex scenes are always fake as hell so they tend not to feel as bad, but my god do i hate it when they try hard to make them as realistic as possible, just show two people in the bed after the deed is done, i don't need to see the actors dry humping each other in length. So whenever i hear men defending porn, i just hear them defending having a cuck fetish more than anything. I wouldn't be surprised that there is a strong correlation between cuckoldry and the rise of easily accessible porn.

I think I've come to terms with being an animal lover because growing up, I was never a fan of these "popular" animals, such as cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.
My main fixation was mostly on frogs, seals, and exotic animals. I rarely qualify myself as an animal lover because I didn't like the popular ones, but it made me realize that I've always had long periods of time doting and obsessing over certain animals and I tried to collect as many stuffies of said certain animal. I do love animals, its such a relief to say it out loud.
