I was just listening to old vocaloid songs I used to listen to in the 2010's and I got so depressed. I miss the days where I was so happy dancing in my room for hours upon hours on end to World is Mine and Po Pi Po, learning the lyrics to Hello, How are You? and crying over Reboot like a happy little weeb. Now I feel like that old scene has died out and most of the people who listened to and loved that era of Vocaloid have completely forgotten about it, the newer music just doesn't have as much inspiration and amazing story-telling, and it's reminded me of how fast time passes. I would give anything to go back to that time and just be a happy little idiot teenager for a while. Pic absolutely related

Man, working sucks ass.

Me and my bf are starting new jobs, so our scheduling's a little weird/busy. Tomorrow our mutual friend invited us to watch a movie at like 8pm but my bf said to me that he needs like an hour or two to decompress after he leaves work at 7 (he starts at 11am) so he's not coming. But, like, come at 9 then?? He could've also asked his chill managers to accommodate since it wasn't super last minute. My previous long-term, relationship fucking exploded bc we never hung out unless it was like around midnight cause I worked so much, and eventually he never wanted to hang out with me anyway since "we live together so we don't need to." I'm crying so much atm… it's embarrassing that I'm still letting it affect me this way even though my bf is an angel and this objectively shouldn't be a big deal.

God, I didn't before but now I'm having so many doubts above moving in with him next month. He's trying to make me feel better but I don't know what to say.

I wish I could enjoy more carefree moments in my relationship with my partner, he has a lot of wonderful qualities, but he suffers from frequently reocurring false memories which negatively impact his sense of trust in people. I don't know what I can do to support him. Showing him evidence that contradicts the narrative of his false memories doesn't really help. It's become stressful for me because it feels like a dark cloud is often hanging over our heads. I guess I should probably break up with him, it's just so hard because I love him deeply and we rely on each other in many ways.

Today I woke up and cried. Had a huge fight with bf yesterday and now I'm going to my mom's (unrelated to the fight) for almost a month to keep hep dogs while she's not here.

Yesterday he made me feel naggy for being disppointed and bowling my eyes out because after months of (mostly me) talking mariage, he was apathetic at best. I would have taken a FUCKING no and changed my plans accordly, but nope, he looked "kinda" on board.
He "offered" me something that was something HE liked and I noped that bs, said he was fucking selfish and lazy and to get me something else I like (we've been together 10+, how hard could it be? I got him a pendant with meaning in the firt 5-6month of our relationship and he's still wearing it).
He made me gave him a fucking ultimatum, making myself hate even more for being a fucking cliché cunt.
He finally got a necklass right. It made me happy for a day. And then it dawned on me that I shouln't have to fucking scream and cry to get a proof we're together for realsies.
I just wanted a trinket and him on one knee asking not jockingly ffs. I feel so cheated and sad.

Now I'm the villain, apparently I only say this stuff because I'm tired (I am, really tired, and tired of his antics) and that there are "ton of other thing he does for me I neveraknowledge".
He tried to bargain and gaslight until I ultimately said just plain NO, ok, you win. No marriage. Ok, no symbolic bond (it has no symbolism to him, of course). I said I'll stay for the time being but if I'm not married to him, maybe I'll choose another guy over the next few years, because if you're not married, tha't how it is, right?

So yeah. Kinda need a hug nonnie. I know I'm stupid. I know I shouldn't have hoped anything from a man. But I'm so fucking sad and dispppointed.
I guess it's true I'm the only one that can myself me happy.
I'll find a really nice piece of jewelry and just buy it myself. Maybe that'll help the sadness and disappointement. Or maybe something else that won't make me think about being this miserable.

Anon I"m sending you hugs during your tough time and hope you feel better but I gotta be honest, I read that whole post twice and have no idea what you're saying.

The only thing I think I correctly understood is that he tried to gift you a piece of jewelry but you threw a fit and told him to go get you something different because you hated it, which is honestly not how you should act if someone tries to give you a gift. If he was hurt he has a right to be, maybe you should just reach out and make up?

NTA, seems like the jewelry thing is just symbolic of anon's real issue - that they've been together 10 years and he doesn't seem to have any interest in marrying her. And she has every right to be concerned tbh.

>>622743
Don't get stuck being a forever gf anon. If he doesn't want to commit and marriage is important to you, you need to seriously reevaluate your relationship. I can't imagine being in that situation because that's a long ass fucking time but you shouldn't have to cajole him into marrying you. He should want it too.

I was rambly, sorry.
He got me a first necklass (I don't like rings). It was a necklass about something HE only likes and I don't care about (and he knows it).
I know I sounds like a 5 yo and that he tried and shit, and that you should be gracious about gift.
But it was a 20/30€ necklass (again didn't care about the price) but it's fucking reasonnable. It was supposed to be my engagement gift.

But honestly, after all of this, it was just too much. He could have gotten me a cheap pendant of a cat and that would have been awesome. But he chose somehting symbolic to HIM (and only him and he knew it) (also apparently pendant have symbolism but not marriage).

Maybe I'm throwing a real tantrum and I'm asking too much? Is that it nonnie? I don't even know. It just hurt so bad.

Why would you tell someone that they're "fucking selfish and lazy" for giving you a gift you didn't like? That's a big no-no for me, but I guess it depends on what the gift was. I see your yearning for love and commitment after 10 years in a relationship with this guy, but… are you always this insolent? I feel like there's more going on here. You two need to try to communicate without these unexpressed expectations and wishes and without calling eachother names.

My best advice is to put it all out there. Don't expect him to know what you want, tell him. Tell him what you just told us, without yelling or name calling, that marriage is very important to you, that he seems to be on the fence about it, how it hurts you and ask him to talk to you about his feelings regarding marriage. Try to do it calmly, but be honest with him. Tell him that you feel completely disregarded.
If you don't reach a conclusion that leaves you both feeling closer and more understood or he doesn't want to work through it at all, it might be time to consider ending the relationship.

No. 622762

>>622756
Anon, my sympathies go out to you, but if you have to coerce someone into a marriage, that marriage is doomed to fail. It seems you've come to a point in your relationship where you need to decide exactly what will make you happy and move forward from there. If marriage is important to you but not important to him, it may be time to decide whether a.) You're willing to move forward with the relationship with no expectations of marriage but try to make it healthy and happy or b.) End the relationship and move forward with your life and pursue a relationship where you and your partner have similar values.

Also it really isn't right for you to lash out at him just because you didn't like the jewelry he gifted you, it comes across as spoiled and immature behavior and if I were him, I'd be upset too. My ex gave me a gift while we were together that had a correlation with Harry Potter, and even though I don't care about Harry Potter I still cherished it because it was something he saw, thought was beautiful and thought would look lovely on me.

Paranoid stuff, like that he's overheard our friends talking bad about him or that he's being targeted by a malevolent unknown stalker (both extremely unlikely scenarios). Sometimes he will have memories of really banal details too that are also totally falsified. I can't just tell him "you create memories of events that never happened, they stem from your anxieties relating to childhood trauma", because he will feel he's being gaslighted.

No. 622766

You're right. He never gives me gifts and I respect that (it's just not who he is) but I just wanted him to make a tiny effort so I would feel like he gets me? At least for this one big occasion.

Idk. I guess I can't explain it more and yes, I probably have thrown a tantrum now that I look at it your way (It wasn't really the only thing going on but still not a excuse).
I'll try to be less of a spoiled brat in the future.

I'm slowly getting to the point where I can't handle people who don't have their lives together. I got laid off in June, now I'm about to start a new job. I did that by literally making applying to jobs my job. It was absolutely miserable especially since I knew I was competing with people with double my experience willing to do a job at my level because they have kids or whatever.

I finally got a job, actually a fantastic step up from my last job, yet I have friends older than me who complain about being stuck in their retail jobs yet won't even submit an application to a job that sure, maybe will be just as miserable, but at least it PAYS MORE. Then they have the audacity to tell me how lucky I am. Lucky! As if I didn't pay for my own university and take out loans for what I couldn't cover and work my ass off to get to where I am while half of these fuckers dropped out of college/uni even though their parents were paying for everything. I'm not lucky. I just work hard. The trick is to keep fucking smiling instead of focusing on every failure.

The worst is when you get the people who can't even not keep their mouths shut when they hear about your new job talking about how they could never do the office life. Well I could never do the begging for money on Twitter because I'm a "professional" artist who can't get anyone to spend $20 on a full color commission because my art is so damn ugly life, but you don't see me saying that out loud (well, except right now but I'm civil normally I promise).

I think I just need to cut it all out. This has been more of a ramble than a vent. Sorry.

>There is no good reason why he should be liking her pictures.
I had something similar happen to me. It was really eating me away, so finally I sat my bf down, told him I feel insecure especially because I'm seeing her liking only the pictures that exclude me, he understood my worry, said he didn't even think much about it and didn't realize it may look like this, but undrestood my worries and suggested himself he can delete her from his friends if I prefer.
tl;dr try being very open and communicate how exactly you feel, being a "cool girl" that never gets jealous is very self destructive. Hope it works out ok!

I feel this. I worked my ass off to get through university and to create a career for myself, stressed to the point I'm surprised I didn't start balding but I made it and now I have a position where I'm paid extremely well. The salary of course comes with responsibility and sometimes un-paid overtime. Yet I got people my age constantly being jealous of me and making snarky remarks about me being spoiled and privileged. God, while I was sweating through the mud verging on a mental breakdown you lazy fucks were busy playing video games and enjoying your time being hedonistic slackers while mommy wired you money every time you were in a trouble so you didn't have to take responsibility.

>The worst is when you get the people who can't even not keep their mouths shut when they hear about your new job talking about how they could never do the office life.

This is such a cope for them. I worked underpaid shit retail jobs before and I'm much happier in a stuffy office than going through that hell again.

My biggest fear in life was no getting a degree and having to struggle for the rest of my life living in a shitty apartment and constantly moving out once the landlord doesn't want me there anymore and only having £50 at the end of the month. My fears are becoming realty. I've completely failed university and I've only discovered I probably have adhd and there's nothing I can do about it. I hate myself so much for listening to my parents who kept pushing me to finish university, when I could have gone when I was ready and could have done well. I will never have 18,000 to be able to get a degree. My life is over, I have too much social problems to try and get my own income. I want to die. I hate my family, me and my shit life.

I'm ranting to you girls YET again because I honestly trust this place a lot.

In a university club I am in, there's a couple people I met that I do a D&D group with. A few of them are regulars, some I just see when we play D&D. Within the uni club, there's been new comers, which is always welcome but someone else has joined and is getting rather chummy with someone in the D&D group. I wouldn't care so much except for a lingering vibe that feels 'off' about this guy. I feel annoyed by his presence even though he hasn't done anything wrong. Somethings he does, such as repeating rules that have already been said and long and dirty fingernails are my only grievences. Just today at the uni club, he gave my D&D friend some maps for the group and wants to guest. It's a nice gesture but I cannot find any apprecition or gratitude that I would of found if anyone else bought them. I almost want to tell my group 'this guy feels off, do not let him play'. No one else seems to have an issue with him, which makes me feel bad for feeling this way. I'm probably being a huge bitch but I cannot shake this weird vibe off of him. What it is that would be an issue isn't known.

Regardless of your attraction to him, that lifestyle isn't good for himself nor is it good for you. Do you live together?
Just tell him you're concerned because you see that he isn't eating right and seems more tired and it's not doing it for you anymore. Unless he's ordering out, make it so there's no junk food he could eat in the house and urge him to go on walks with you. Exercise may help his sleep regulation. If nothing else changes you're going have to be blunt and tell him you aren't attracted to him anymore unless there's effort being made.

Nope. The only way it would is if you've had scarring from malpractice or not taking the antibiotics afterward and getting an infection. It's like asking if pregnancy and childbirth affect your ability to get pregnant again in the future. Maybe if you've had a traumatic injury and infection, but otherwise nah. Your body goes through way more traumatic shit giving birth than having an abortion.

Anecdotal evidence, but I know I can get pregnant after having those surgical abortions because I got pregnant again after those and opted for a pill abortion which was way easier.

The dinner I worked so hard to prepare last night for bf and I turned out to be a complete disaster and I'm still salty about it. Normally I'm a very good cook, it's my first failure in awhile and ofc it's gotta happen when I'm trying to feed someone other than myself.
My beef roast came out tough. Cheap cut + motherfucker bled even though I let it rest + I cut against the grain accidentally bc I felt rushed to serve food since my bf made a comment about not typically eating so late (and it was very late). We barely ate it, I horked down a slice but he apologized bc he couldn't finish his, said it reminded him of his mother's roast meats (and she cooks poorly so omfg). This was the first roast he claims he had in years and it was nasty and chewy. My stupid roasted vegetables barely fucking cooked because they were difficult faggots for no good reason. I threw them in the microwave and stirred them around trying to speed up the cook time, only for it to become wholly unappetizing because the purple carrots stained the other veggies (bf made a comment that it looked like blood..). I attempted to make gravy because I could tell the roast was gonna be leather, half of the drippings spilled on the floor. I used way too much flour and a lot of water and worstechire and wine to compensate. It was thick like pudding, and tangy from the wine. Just gross.
The entire dinner was a trainwreck. Had he not gorged on the leftover garlic bread I made from the other night while we waited hours for this shit dinner to roast, I would have taken him to McDonald's because he would have been so hungry.

I managed not to rage but I wanted to take that pathetic fucker roast in one fist and slam it into the wall. I'm heated and livid just thinking about that worthless slampig I slaved over for nothing.
Now I have a bunch of tough meat. I was going to braise it and put it in a stew, or maybe throw it in a potato hash.

It’s not the end of the world, anon. Are you on meds for adhd? It’s possible to learn to cope with it better, you just need time and the right treatment. Might be a good idea to go to your gp about mental health stuff too if you haven’t already

I was in a similar position to you, dropped out of uni due to mental breakdown though. Felt shit at first but on reflection I realise how ill I was. When Covid stops fucking life up, I’m going back to do a healthcare degree - Student Finance allows another loan for those and some other science degrees as they’re considered valuable. Might be an option for you once you’re feeling better and if uni/career is really important to you. Thought I’d mention it as I didn’t know it was a thing until recently

There's a lot of misinformation and scare mongering where I live around abortion. It was only made legal here two years ago but one of the arguments against it was
"women will use abortions instead of birth control, then they'll become infertile from all the abortions and the tax payer will have to fund their IVF then too"
I was having my own issues at the time and I'd walk past these prostesters every day. Old men wanting to talk to me about reproductive rights while I'm on my way to a fucking colposcopy clinic. Which they probably don't want the tax payer funding either.

Idk why people are angry at you and not your bf. You went to the trouble of making an elaborate meal and he just sat there watching you get stressed instead of helping? He pigged out on garlic bread and then compared you to his mother? The only detail missing is him banging his knife and fork on the table like a spoiled toddler. Girl, you're doing way too much for someone who isn't even giving you an ounce of respect back. He could have offered to make the gravy or keep an eye on the roast while you had a drink or something to relax. He could have also pretended to like it, like I do when my bf has a cooking disaster.

Like some anon said above, hopefully you can look back on this one day and laugh. That's the best attitude to have. It's one roast out of the many you will make, that one meal doesn't define your cooking skills. Everyone has off days. You'll always have another opportunity to impress people.

Also he's just a rich, bougie asshole and one of those unemotional bootstrap-types. He treated my bf and his sister like shit growing up and was the source of a lot of their problems. My bf apparently isn't bothered by this anymore but I am. I hate going to visit them. I don't think they actually like either of us and just see us as charity cases.

Marriage is now off the table for me, for sure. I feel done and it's a blessing I had to travel back to my own country just now anyway.
What bothers me is that I still love him, he's still my best friend. We also have financial ties and pets. This really sucks and I still want to wail my disappointment and sadness. I need to get it out but also have to zip it.
Can't even tell my mom tomorrow and cry on her shoulder, I can't worry her before she goes to the hospital. That would be fucking cruel. Gonna have to look all cheery and hope she can't see though it.

I had a guy contact me soon after sex saying that he had hep C and to go get myself tested.

He said this after I'd already lost interest in him and stopped responding so to this day I think it was some weird revenge plan to get me stressed out and rushing to a clinic.

My boyfriend is an extremely selfish person. Every time I have to ask him to do something for me, he accuses me of being useless, dumb or similar. He always claims that I only want to take advantage of him when actually I have to choose the best moment to ask him for things or I even have to give him something in return or he just won’t do it (I.e. if I have to buy something specific of one shop, I have to tell him that we’ll get lunch later or he won’t feel motivated). He’s lazy, so lazy for things that he doesn’t want to do or get involved with.
When it comes to things that he does want though, he’s the fastest he has ever been to do it. And it hurts me. Because when he wants to see his friends, he will always wake up early, go to their friends’s and of course will spend the whole day there if they ask so, not even complaining or deciding not to go.
Right now he screamed at me in front of his father, calling me useless and his father of course defended me because he knows how his son is a lazy piece of shit (he’s also tired of having to ask him to do things for him), and then he got mad at us and throw a fit.
Sometimes I wonder why do I keep trying, my fear of being alone is more strong than anything, I’m afraid I won’t ever find anyone that will love me but then I start to think that maybe out there is someone for me who won’t scream every time he gets pissed, someone who doesn’t call me useless day after day, someone who will be proud of having me as a partner and not ashamed.
Idk I just can’t stop crying and asking myself of did I end up like this, being this miserable joke who accepted and assumed this abuse as love.

From my childhood, to my teenage, to my adult years I've been looking forward to that one moment I would finally find a bit of "emotional relief", but at this point I have so much baggage I can't see a future where I'm actually happy. Nothing, not a single thing I dreamed of became a reality. I don't know, I wasn't dealt a good hand at life and I was always aware of it, but I always thought I would sooner or later be able to figure shit out before it was too late, and now it is late and everything is exactly the same as it was 15 years ago. The worst part is I've been toying with the idea of just ending it all but I'm not even brave enough to do it, so instead I keep wallowing in self pity hoping that maybe if I wait a bit longer shit will get better.

Life can change so quickly, for better or worse, but I believe you will be given your respite soon, anon. Don't let your negative feelings go entirely - use them to propel yourself through life.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I need to get this off my chest anons.

I hate feeling like I never had a chance to even feel genuinely happy and "normal." Because ever since I was kid, I always felt extremely depressed and daydreamed about killing myself for most of the day. What sucks even more is that nobody around me gave enough of a shit to fucking help me get better. Like, I think people can agree that it's not normal to have a 6-year-old self-harm by hitting herself in the head and talk about wanting to never wake up, yet my family didn't think twice about that! They never tried to get me help, instead they would just emotionally/physically abuse and neglect me until I did something drastic enough to have the school call them after they baker acted me. They'd temporally care about me before, so their reputation wouldn't get ruined before going back to ignoring me and treating me like I was expendable. They couldn’t even tell my grandpa (the one who loves me the most in this shitty world) that I was in the hospital for a week in a comatose state because of a failed suicide attempt out of fear that he would look at them negatively! And because I was so used to be taken advantage of by the people who were supposed to care about me the most in life, I let others, men and women, use me as well! All because I have this innate drive to please others and want to be considered “good” by them, because I wanted my existence to be validated by them. And because of that, I've been so traumatized by men taking sexually advantage of me, that I’m only comfortable enough to date women even though I’m bisexual lol.

Nowadays, at the age of 23 I'm so depressed and numb that I don't even have the energy to call or text people anymore. All I can do is force myself into a routine where I do nothing but go to school and work full-time. Nothing in my life brings me joy anymore and I can't focus on shit without being distracted with thoughts of wanting to off myself, unless I abuse the fuck out of my adhd meds so I can focus on doing things I used to love, like playing video games for a couple of hours. What's even more sad is that I only imagine myself living to the age of 25 which fucking terrifies me but also excites me because I only have to keep up this charade, I built up for a lil while longer.

Honestly though, a huge part of me is so goddamn tired of feeling this way and wants to seek desperate help. That part tells me that things will get better in the future, that I just have to stick around long enough to see it. But the other part of me just accepts that this is how I'm supposed to feel for the rest of my life and hopes that I'll have better luck in the next life.

>things start to get a little spicier, start giving him nudes/sext, he's really happy about this and most convos soon always come back to sending nudes/sexting
>time progresses, original sweetness and majority of effort wears off, endearing nicknames replaced with 'bimbo' 'slut' 'his bitch' etc etc., compliments now rare and replaced with degrading 'teasing'
>barely texts first now, takes days to respond unless double/triple text, doesn't seem interested in getting to know me anymore and mainly only responds to dirty talk

This dude's got so many nudes of me and I'm so mad at myself for not seeing that he's just using me for fap material sooner. He seemed so genuine and sweet in the beginning and I wish I could erase his memory because I don't want him to know me like that anymore. Wish COVID would end so I could fight him on sight but he'd probably like that too

Starting to believe that I have failed as a sister. My brother is hardcore schizophrenic, and he's been calling me non stop as of late, idk what for. He has caused me so many years of all types of abuse and I suffer from PTSD, but I feel horrible for not picking up. Kinda wish he'd just text me, but I feel like he's just gonna call me to yell at me. Might throw my phone down the toilet, I'm so fucking paranoid.

I got a call from a private number, and I'm not sure if it's him but I refused to answer.

You're not the problem here. Love yourself anon. If you want to meet him in the middle, do so by texting him that you care but that you need distance.

Say he needs to get help from a professional in order for the two of you to have a relationship.

You shouldn’t feel like you failed as a sister when you’re trying your best to help your brother despite having PTSD from the abuse he’s done to you throughout the years. And I know you feel guilty for not being able to help him, but it’s honestly difficult to help people who are hardcore schizophrenics. Plus there’s only so much you can do to help him without having to jeopardize yourself and your mental health.

And these might be dumb questions but is he currently seeing a doctor or taking meds? And are you the only family he has or does he have others he can rely on?

I feel like therapy would be useless for me. I've been told countless times to seek therapy but I feel like it would be an expensive waste of time. More or less. What can the psych even do? Tell me the abuse wasn't my fault? I know that already. Tell me I was too young to consent? I know. Tell me about my daddy issues and how they affect what type of men I feel attracted to? Bitch I know all that. What're they gonna do? Tell me to practice mindfullness? Accept my feelings and analyze them? It's all such a waste. The only thing I would benefit getting help for would be the constant dull sadness I've been feeling for the past 3 or so years. Also I just distrust people in the mental health department in general. A psych who told me that she barely cared for any of her patients and wanted them out of her office the moment their time was up. Like, imagine I'm pouring my heart out and my deepest feelings to some therapist and all they are thinking is 'can't wait for this bitch to finish so i can check twitter' or something.

Is it normal to keep thinking you see your ex in public?

It's been 3 years since our breakup and this still happens ffs lol.

They never cared about anything I achieved. I went through tech school, have a great paying job, but nobody ever cared despite that being more than anyone else has done. But they think my idiot female cousin is the best because she works at a factory, can operate a machine and dates a supervisor. Not to mention she's an absolute asshole to everyone and treated me like shit when I was working with her years ago but in there eyes thats a "strong independent women". No matter what my siblings and I or our other cousins do, grandma is still giving everything to the one set of cousins. They're huge liars, thieves, talk grandma into signing car loans or getting new things she doesn't need so they can use, and they fucking gloat about how great their life is all the time.

Do an internet search for anhedonia. It can be a symptom of other conditions such as dysthymia. I dealt with it by forcing myself to exercise because exercise releases dompamine in the brain and by supplementing my diet with increased amino acids, particularly tryptophan and tyrosine.

Anons in therapy, is there any circumstance in which it would be acceptable for your therapist to go apeshit on you? By that I mean get so angry that they raise their voice, curse at you, and try to start a fight by taunting you? I just experienced this with my therapist and I still can't believe that I had to be the one to calm him down. I've been having issues with him for a while now and I think this might be the last straw. I've always thought he was defensive and had a fragile ego and this kind of just confirmed it for me. All I did was ask if there were any other therapy models we could try since the ones we had tried thus far haven't been right for me and he blew it out of proportion saying I called him worthless and I was just projecting my failures as a person onto him.

Thank you so much for all the responses on my post, I really appreciate it. I don't have a big support network so I didn't have a lot of places I could talk about this.
To >>623594 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply anyone should have to go through that. It's just that even after I calmed him down, he said that his anger towards me was completely justified so for a moment I was wondering if there was any situation in which this could possibly be justified.
Also >>623604 unfortunately I'm no stranger to seeing this kind of behavior in therapists. It's unacceptable but it still happens because at the end of the day therapists are still people and they can be just as stupid and cruel as the average person, even though they're not supposed to be.
He runs an independent practice but I found him through the Psychology Today website. Should I send them a message about it, or would that be stupid? I don't expect them to take him off at all, but if (God forbid) more people come and complain about him over time it could build a trail of sorts. I'm not sure which licensing board I should be going to about this either, should I just go based off our location? Sorry if these are stupid questions, of course I will be looking into it myself as well.

I found a therapist who seems like she might be a better fit for me. I hope she will be able to take my insurance but if not I think I'll take a break from therapy and just try to help myself, as unrealistic as that sounds.
Thank you very much again to everyone who responded. I would be glad to come back and give updates after I leave him.
And if anyone is reading this who's in a similar situation, please don't be like me. I've been seeing this guy for two years now, and I tried so hard to make it work the whole time. But you shouldn't have to do that. I kept wondering what was wrong about me that I wasn't receiving the kind of care other people were talking about with their therapists. But you will come to realize that a therapist's ineptitude doesn't necessarily have anything to do with you.

are you american, anon? the procedure for reporting therapists depends a little bit on which country you are in (more the continent, really. it's fairly similar for both america and canada, different elsewhere) you should report him to his licensing board, and you can also report him to the ethics committee of his professional association if you want to go through multiple channels. they will take this seriously and it could help prevent someone in a more vulnerable position get badly hurt, maybe even traumatized if he escalates his outbursts or takes them out on a suicidal or already freshly traumatized patient.
not that it was acceptable or "less wrong" to do this to you, of course, just emphasizing how horrible his behaviour could become, left unchecked, in case you're apprehensive or having doubts about reporting him. so sorry this happened to you, anon. i hope this pattern of therapists being inappropriate with you ends here. you didn't deserve this and it was not justified. seems like a precursor to him escalating things later, in my opinion

I've realized the only thing I can stand about him is that we have some similar interests (video games) but even then he's obnoxious. He's a sore winner, finds a way to make any game unfun, constantly gives unwanted advice (literally he came up behind me at an arcade once and said "I'm pretty sure ______ is the beat" because I missed like 2 notes.) He's fucking stupid but is such a pain in the ass no one ever wants to argue with him so he just constantly thinks he's right.

Has anyone ever been arrested? Was it traumatic? I have "technically" been arrested but wasn't put in the system or anything. It was a very small town town and the cops and CPS came to my house because we were going to be taken away. I was 15 at this time and instead of being cooperative I sat in front of my bedroom door and had my legs straight with the bottoms of my feet pressing against the wall in front of me (I was wedged in perfectly.) They were not able to open it manually no matter how hard they tried and eventually broke through the part of the door above me and pulled me through. I was put in handcuffs and screamed at. When I got to the station they put me in one of 3 cells and took my glasses and my bra (forcefully.) I had to sit there feeling so fucking exposed and helpless for hours until a social worker came to pick me up. This experience has been popping into my head lately and fucking me up. I've never been considered a "bad" kid, not that they deserve it either but I really was just a greasy weeb who didn't want to acknowledge how bad her life due to shitty parents which is why I stayed in my bedroom. I fucking wish this was in the time of cellphones and social media because I know there were so many better ways to handle that.

I hate how the housing market is so fucked up and wages are so low even when you have a master's degree and you're working full time. It's where I live but I've seen many other Europeans and north Americans with the exact same problem so I don't need to say where I am now. But when my parents told me how much rent costed them in mid-2000s for our previous three bedroom apartment and yet still bitch about my siblings and me still living with them. When I left they were pissed and wanted me to come back asap and they were almost happy I nearly died of covid abroad and had to come back home because I couldn't work anymore but now they're bitching again because I have a hard time finding a job in our country, which is why I left in the first place. Nearly all the people I was studying with in university were living by themselves or started living by themselves after graduating but their parents helped them a lot financially until they found a job (which they helped with too) but my parents didn't believe me until I had to show them some reliable statistics.

With what they used to pay (before it literally tripled and we had to leave) I wouldn't even be able to find a one-room apartment and still be able to pay my bills. When I say one-room I'm talking about these small places where your room and the living room are the same place, not sure what the word is anymore. I feel like I'll be stuck forever with my family and never have a private life.

You can do that and watch the movie by yourself.

That OR something actually interesting happens and the person I'm with is like "yeah haha I read this was gonna happen on the plot" and at that point they're not feeling the same "in the moment" excitement/betrayal/sadness so I'm left there by myself looking retarded because "what anon?! You didn't see that coming??? when I read the plot it mentioned that the clue was xyz" it's fucking shitty and I hate that feeling

Sorry to be anachan but I can’t post this anywhere else without my friends trying way too hard to make sure I’m okay and I just need to vent.


Had eating disorders since I was 13. 21 now. I have always been underweight, sometimes severely, sometimes minorly. Lost my job over quarantine which is where I got most of my exercise, running all over a restaurant, up and down stairs to get everyone’s food. I also decided to learn to properly cook for myself and discovered the joy of weed. This has resulted in actually discovering a love for food. I’ve never known what healthy portion control is because of parents who treated food like a punishment, so as long as I’ve been living by myself, I’ve eaten tiny portions and stayed away from restaurants so people wouldn’t make fun of me for never finishing a plate.

First time I ever finished a normal plate of food was in May. I was so fucking proud. I stopped feeling guilty and wanted to be healthy. So I’ve quite quickly managed to gain about ~15 pounds. However, I’ve always hated exercise so I let that slide a lot. Obviously that’s completely my fault. I noticed my weight gain, but for the first time ever it didn’t bother me. I’m still on the low end of healthy, but I’m actually HEALTHY. I felt good.


Yeah, all of that out the fucking window within a few weeks. First thing my roommate asks me when she came back from quarantine was if I’ve gained weight. Cool. Nice to see you too. Then came the snide comments about me having two bagel thins (not even whole bagels) for breakfast. She couldn’t POSSIBLY put away that much food, how on earth do I do it? Wow, that’s a lot of potatoes with your dinner. You ate a whole medium pizza by yourself? Normally that gives me enough for leftovers!


I finally said something because I was starting to feel guilty again. I completely avoided being in the kitchen with her. If she was cooking when I was hungry, I’d skip that meal. She hasn’t said anything since I snapped at her. I felt bad but I couldn’t take it.


Now, today, it’d been a couple weeks and I start to feel okay again. I even cooked for both of us last night and we had a nice meal and a chat. I posted a photo of myself on Snapchat last night in an outfit where you can clearly see my body shape. It was Saturday, I felt good.


Woke up to a message from some dude I don’t think I’ve ever even met who follows my snap. Pic related.


I don’t fucking know him. I shouldn’t care. I’m 99% sure he’s an asshole who’s trying to neg me so I feel insecure enough to send him nudes and beg for his validation. But I feel like all my progress has been undone. I’ve always seen weight gain as failure. This is the first time in my life I’ve seen it as recovery. I know for a fact I’d have to gain another 40lbs before I have to ever start worrying about my weight. I guess I’ve already been fragile but this message just broke me. Now I feel like a disgusting pig for ever even considering getting up and making breakfast.


Vent over I guess. TLDR I’m a snowflake who let a random man’s opinion make me feel worthless.

>how we would be able to afford houses if we stopped buying takeout coffee
Not only what you said about waiting years for it to be true is correct, but that's also implying all of us even go out and get expensive takeout coffee on a regular basis to begin with. Sometimes when I'm bored I try to look for tips and advice online on how to save money and places where I could sell things I don't need anymore and I keep seeing blog posts written by trust fund kids where they just repeat this type of advice.

Same shit with online services like Netflix and how we should unsubscribe from it if we don't plan on watching things all the time. Why do these people all think we even pay that type of shit to begin with?

This is going to sound narcissistic I used to be very shallow, exercise, do my make up every day and all that because I believed life is easier when you're pretty . I lost my job due to COVID and once the gyms closed I started piling on weight and wear sweatpants every day, shower once every three days and all that. I never felt safer in public, no men staring or chatting you up. I feel almost invisible and I love it.
I also grew an unhealthy obsession with true crime. I always knew most of the victims were female, but holy shit it gets worse once you learn to know the details. I am surprised I never got in trouble walking home at night from work or a night out. The worst I got was people following me off the public transport. Women get abducted and tortured just for being women and the widespread use of porn and accessibility to gore is making men feral as time passes. Whenever I catch a man staring at me the only thing I think is how he's imagining all the ways they could torture me.

I recommend becoming unapologetic goblins to all anons. For your own safety.

I'm sorry anon but I consider myself ugly and fat. I dress frumpy all the time and do my darned best to not make eye contact with men for the exact reason you do (my aunt grew up glued to the ID channel and true crime shit).

And yet, there are two times men have made me very uncomfortable when I dressed and looked horrible. The first time, the guy forced me to kiss him by refusing to move and grabbing my arm so that I couldn't get out of his grip. I couldn't believe it because I was sweaty, my hair was the worst it ever looked (literally bedhead) and I was lugging laundry so heaving and out of breath.

The second time, I was picking up a food order and the old guy kept insisting that he get my phone number and spent the whole time talking to me about where I live and what I'm doing later that night.

See, some men do this thing where they look for a woman that doesn't take care of herself or might not consider herself attractive because they think it makes you an easy target (low self-esteem) so they will consider you weak enough to fall for their shitty male ego. "Omg he wants MY number?? Wow!" And chances are, it works for them most of the time.

Please still always be vigilant. Men know no fucking bounds and chances are that even if you consider yourself your worst, you could still be a target for a very dangerous man.

NTA but I agree with you both, the amount of unsolicited attention men have given me lessened immediately when I started going out with no makeup wearing shitty jeans/sweatpants and hoodies and my hair all messed up. However I've still gotten men approaching and refusing to leave me alone so it's not a silver bullet to get rid of scrote bullshit. The only way I usually get rid of them is being rude and dismissive because some of them get embarrassed and leave, but then again some of them get even more aggressive and start calling you a whore or turn violent.

But I think back to that one based anon who told a story about how a guy cold approached her while she was on her way to her workplace so she started faking being autistic and made the guy uncomfortable. That was fucking hilarious and I need to try it next time.

It's important to realise clinginess and codependency can push people away, especially men. Of course there's nothing wrong with being sad because you miss them, but the fact it's affecting your ability to spend one night alone and you're seeking advice shows it's at least getting to a point of concern.

Honestly, best advice is to just learn how to enjoy time on your own. Often when I get the clingiest to my bf it's because I don't have any hobbies or interests on the go that keep me entertained and my self esteem suffers cos of it. Meet up with friends, family. Pick up new hobbies or revisit interests and things you haven't done in a while. Do things just for yourself that make you excited to get home after a long day. He will probably appreciate it too if it gives him a chance to do things he wants that maybe doesnt interest you. Sounds like you haven't lived together for too long but you will come to cherish time apart.

I'm fucking useless, because I have no experience no one will hire me and I'm nearly 30. I'm such a fucking joke jesus christ I hate being mentally ill.

You're beating yourself up for being 30 and not having a job, but your mom is retirement age and can't cover 3 months of expenses? A 6 month emergency fund is a pretty standard expectation for being financially stable. Sorry to be harsh but that's concerning and it sounds like she can't actually afford to retire.

Hi anon with mom in hospital/poor background post as well. Yeah no you came off as very shitty. My mom was planning on getting a part time after some time to help with financial strain (you can't start working for a certain time period after ssi? If I remember hearing her correctly, also can't earn more then your ssi income.) So she wasn't really retiring in that sense of the word. She was planning on having some extra cash because of retiring in October. Buuuuut since she wouldnt be able to go back to work until hopefully October, there is no income. And no savings because can't save what you don't have.

Naw you're correct. Also there would be no point in going after them legally.

Kinda resent the fact that my mom won't agree to euthanize our elderly dog. I love the shit out of that dog but damn, she can hardly walk, we have to lift her to go outside or to go to another room and she's 70lbs and hardly has the strength to at least stay standing when we do lift her. She pisses off and on in the house, her ass is crusted in shit because she can hardly get off the ground, she fucking breathes like she's suffocating, and her teeth are in such poor shape it honestly looks painful when she eats (and she only eats soft and moistened food). All she does is lay around all day. No playing, nothing. I only see her motivated when we're eating food, and all she does then is just stare at us wide-eyed with her cataracts. I'm surprised she can even see anything tbh.
I just want to give her a really good last day full of treats and love but instead I just have to watch her suffer every single fucking day because my mom can't look at the situation from any other perspective than her own.
I've shared my thoughts, fucking cried about how horrible it is to see her the way she is, and it doesn't change her mind.
I'm afraid of it, but I also wish she would just pass away in her sleep already. I'll never be ready for when she does go, but I hate this so much and I want her to have peace. I'm also just afraid that she'll just pass without any proper goodbye. Like, what if her last day is just like every other day? Painful and boring, and she just watches us play with and hug our younger dogs?

Sent nudes to my bf, he asked for them cause we were sexting and I was feeling insecure, he didn’t even say I looked good or anything just continued sexting me.

I hate that I feel this way, but I’m so upset with life and I feel like so much of my hardship is linked to them not providing or being emotionally available.

Their response definitely wasn't near satisfying and that's all we want from confronting those who've wronged us, a satisfying conclusion whether it be through apology or whatever. Unfortunatley people aren't on the same wavelengths and they're probably confused as to why you're doing this suddenly which is dogshit but also means a satisfying response from them is hugely unlikely and at some point it has to be let go for your own sake.

There was not a single interview at which they would not ask me these two questions you've mentioned, so since you already know it will happen, why not prepare yourself? There's a lot of resources online on how to answer them in the best way, so just spend some time to research, and once you feel more prepared, you'll feel more confident too.
People getting nervous during interviews are a normal thing, so don't worry if you happen to stutter. And casual approach is very often welcomed, depending on the atmosphere in the place you'll be applying to, so that might work as your advantage. You'll do fine.

My feelings for a close friend of mine haunt me. Each time I thought I'd gotten over it and moved on, we spend some time together and everything comes crashing back.
It's become more manageable with time since my care gradually exceeds my need for romance, but it isn't going away permanently as I'd hoped. Logically, we aren't even compatible and the situation is bad, but I think I feel genuine love for once.

I want to continue the friendship forever of course, because of the love, but I just wish it was different. And of course I'll always wonder what it is about me that prevents him from feeling the same.

Am I a horrible person?
A family member of mine is going through depression because they prefer their NEET lifestyle rather than working (to a point where she quit a job that was offered by a friend 3 months after), and she is that kind of a person who would prefer everyone to throw pity parties around her so she would get attention rather than actually trying to do something about her life, even therapist nor pills don't help because she always prefers trying to bait people into attention bcz muh mental illness, along with using that as a card to avoid helping her family and be a rude person.

Her lovely mother and grandmother are distressed and worried about her, they are amazing people but they do not know what to even do and I hate seeing them hurting all because all this woman does is locks herself in the room, plays videogames until morning and makes up dramas on her discord server.

I couldn't sleep all night thinking of how horrible I feel by seeing their whole house feeling sad and whatnot. Kept debating all night If I should buy this NEET-chan a comfort gift, thinking it'd make the situation better but then I remembered all the two-faced stuff she did to me because of how obsessed she is with being the center of attention (along with her jealousy of women and complex of seeing them as a threat like shuwu-chan, just the rightwing version that is also convinced that no woman has to work a job because they are built for men and housework) I decided to not to.

i feel so trapped. i've become depressed living with my family and know i need to move out for my own mind and heart's sake, but i live in a "Trendy" city so rent is astronomical (or it feels that way). if i want to pay less than $1000 for rent for a one bedroom, i'd have to live in the part of town that everyone regards as unsafe and scary (or i'd just have to move pretty far away to get out of the high rent bubble. but i work in the city so i can't go that far). i don't even know what i can afford, i bring home $720 a week so i guess i could afford a one bedroom, but i'm not even sure since i have monthly student loan payments too. i have no friends that i could be roommates with. i'm scared to find random roommates to live with in the middle of a pandemic. i wish i could talk with someone knowledgeable and learn about what i can actually afford and realistically what my options are

My stepdad (is he even my stepdad anymore if he and my mother are divorcing due to his infidelity?) is literally a nightmare to rent with but between him and either having roomed with my emotionally toxic mother, or a complete stranger after my last breakup, he was the lesser of two evils at the time. I wish I made enough to live on my own.
I'm in a relationship with a new guy and I feel vindicated that he's starting to witness the nonsense behavior I put up with from my stepdad. For one thing, my mom spoiled him in that she never demanded he do any share of housework. So not only does he not do chores on a consistent basis, but when he finally does one thing, he acts like a fucking martyr for it. He behaves like I don't do shit because I refuse to pick up after him and instead treat him like a roommate and not a spoiled husband just getting to flop at home after he gets back from work–which he does anyway. I work too and no one does my laundry, cook my meals, or cleans my apartment. Boyfriend has stayed over a couple of nights so we have used the kitchen to cook meals. We've been doing the dishes consistently, cleaning the kitchen, and taking out the trash for the past couple of weeks. Stepdad decides to "deep clean" the kitchen the other day. But really: just cleaned off the countertops and wiped off the dishrack and then acted indignant that the kitchen was a "disaster" until he fucking cleaned it. I wanted to punch him in the mouth. Even my boyfriend thought he was full of shit but we can't say anything to upset King Shithead and remind him that the one chore he did in the past two weeks isn't a big fucking deal while we were the ones taking out his pizza boxes to the dumpster and putting his cereal bowls and coffee mugs in the dishwasher, then restocking them in the cupboards when they are clean!

Then there's the living room situation. Since we rent a two-bedroom apartment, the living room/kitchen area are combined in the same space. Well, King Shithead gets reign over the entire area including the patio from the time he gets home from work everyday 4pm, to when he goes to bed (if he doesn't sleep on the couch) which is 9-10pm. I work 9-5pm so I never get that fucking tv unless I want to begin watching something at around 10 or 11pm nightly. Weekends? Forget it, he gets the living room all day because he's a loser and never goes out unless his floozy gf who totes isn't just playing him invites him to go do something on his dime with her like once a month. Speaking of, he's driving her and her rugrats to the beach today so they can go play house, meanwhile I'm never invited on their outings–I'd be completely alone if my bf wasn't here with me (same King Shithead who made me stay at a roach motel for a week before Christmas and made me buy him weed for him and his gf so they could fuck at the apartment uninterrupted). He doesn't love me, I'm just convenient…but I digress.

The living room/kitchen situation pisses me off so much because if I dare ask for it during his time he tantrums and acts like a petulant toddler. Like if I let him know the day before that my bf is coming over and how I'd like to have the tv in the evening so I can watch Netflix with him, he goes "Oh, gonna make me go to my room HUH." in an insolent tone like it's a fucking punishment for asking him to relinquish the tv for an evening. As if he can't entertain himself some other way! I'm in my room all the fucking time when I'm here because he's hogging the living space but I can't dare complain!!!
The other night he had some weirdo ripper movie streaming on the tv and the volume was so loud that me and my bf couldn't eat the delicious dinner I prepped for us without being able to hear ourselves think.
The next night when me and bf got dinner, while King Shithead was out on the patio having his half-hour cig session, I had the audacity to turn the tv volume from 38 down to a dull roar 15. The second we open our dinners, that shithead comes back inside and was posturing to turn the volume back up right as we were about to begin our meal. I quickly said to keep the volume low. "HUAAAH?!" he said. I repeated to keep the volume low and again he went "HUUUH?!" He looked so fucking annoyed and irritated that a demand had left my lips. He was pretending like he didn't get what I was asking so I had to explain it out. I said how I turned the volume down and I didn't want him to turn it back up again. He became so fucking angry at me. "WHY!!!!!!!" he demanded. "Because we're going to eat dinner and we'd like to be able to talk to each other and actually hear." I turned around to gets us drinks, stepdad whined "OH SO IT'S ALLLLL ABOUT YOU HUH?!!?!" I just muttered to myself like oh god…"YEAH WE'RE NOT GONNA ARGUE ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW," he snapped.
My bf didn't say anything cause he doesn't want to upset the manbaby and pour gas on the fire, but it's so hard to ignore the mistreatment. Sometimes when he treats me like shit, I want to turn around and ask if he'd talk to his girlfriend like how he talks to me? Seeing him being so nice and accommodating for her and playing house with her young brats makes me want to be sick. She's just using him for trips and dinners, but I'd seriously laugh if she would commit the mistake of moving in with this no value man because I reckon his mask would slip with the quickness like it did with me.

I am so tired of nobody taking the effects of my former abusive relationship seriously. It doesn't matter how many times I explain how bad the situation was, how many details I recount, everyone still seems to think that it wasn't that bad and that I should be over it by now. Because I didn't have a huge emotional melt down while I was IN the relationship, because he left me and not the other way around, and because he never hit me or sexually abused me, it couldn't have POSSIBLY been that bad. You know, discounting the fact that I was completely isolated from my support system and had virtually no means of leaving him. My last therapist just silenced me whenever I tried to bring up the relationship and would be like "let's focus on you." She chalked all of my issues up to me having a "self-esteem problem." It was fucking humiliating and invalidating. People just refuse to acknowledge the insidiousness of emotional abuse. The only people who have ever understood where I'm coming from are those who have been through similar relationships.

Nobody gives a fuck about your pain unless you were hit or raped. Well, I fucking wish to christ that he had. Things had reached a point towards the end that I was actually begging him to just hit me already. I wish that he had so that I had some fucking proof other than just my words, which are just never enough for anyone.

This man wanted to see me suffer. He targeted me at my lowest point and just twisted the knife in deeper. He got off on my pain. I have screenshot fucking proof of him admitting that he gets off on hurting women, but I can't show it to anyone because he has them all convinced that I was the crazy one. I'll just look like a vindictive ex. I will never convince anyone of this because he's so good at hiding it. He only treats his partners like this. Nobody else sees it. He'll do this to another girl and because he's still deeply ingrained into my social circle, I'll have to just sit there and watch it happen, or someone will just fucking casually tell me about it because they don't give a fuck about my feelings. I don't have any power to stop this and I wish I had the courage to just kill myself already. I can't bear to live in a world where men like this are allowed to get away with their behavior without repercussion.

My boyfriend is maybe going to be homeless and it's killing me.

He's not from my part of the country and used to live at my parents a few months until we both moved in, and basically our housing situation was horrible and he was in a very bad streak mentally, couldn't take it anymore and we broke up and I moved back at my parents.

We ended up back together after talking a lot more because the break up snapped him out of his way, and now we obviously want to move back in together but he hasn't got a job yet and lives at a friend's apartment, paying him rent.

We don't know how much time it'll take for us to move back in and it's hard for him to live with this friend who is very loud at night and well, we don't know how long that friend will want him there.

My step father doesn't want him in the house again, which is fair enough but then the other option is for him to live in his car which terrifies me.

I'm doing the best I can to find something, and it's hard because students took over most of the apartments, but this is constantly over my head and it's stressing me out so much.

Please tell me it'll be fine nonnie.

So I alienated my only friend. She told me that because I'm unreliable and disappear from time to time she feels she cannot trust me and she doesn't see me on her 'top 3 friends list anymore'. She was the best friend I've ever had. I just realized it now that this is a pattern in my relationships, where I basically force people to abandon me. They get too close, I feel uncomfortable, pull away, they get weirded out and back out. I know this comes from my relationship with my mom - she abandoned me emotionally and now I have this compulsion to repeat this infinitely. I've always been socially awkward and I see no hope of finding new friends or let alone a romantic relationship.
I don't know what to do. I hate intimacy but I also hate being without it. I feel like I never learned how to fucking relate to people and it's too late to learn it in my fucking 20s. I just want someone to hold me. I feel so worthless. How the fuck do I change

This probably goes without saying here on lc but I'm going to say it anyway: Anons, don't ever let any piece of shit scrote (particularly white scrotes) try and convince you that they're a victim of society, or women, or what-have you. Literally the worst thing the average white guy has ever gone through is having one or both parents who didn't meet their emotional needs in the exact way that they needed them to. It does not justify their rampant abuse and exploitation of women. It does not justify misogyny. Please do not hesitate to tell any scrote who tries to use you for emotional labor to get fucked and pay for an actual therapist if they truly feel so victimized and pathetic. These retards will externalize their problems onto everyone and everything except themselves. They expect the whole world, particularly women, to cater to and coddle them. Don't buy into their bullshit.

Hey, I can relate. I lost several friendships in my late teens and through to my middle 20s because of similarly frivolous and unreliable behaviours. I'm in my late 20s now and I've improved a lot, but learning how to support your loved ones is a work in progress without a point of completion. Consider that every day is another opportunity to make better decisions. You have your whole life ahead of you to learn from your mistakes. In my experience, practicing mindfulness activités such as CBT were critical to managing my own social behaviour. I can't afford to see a therapist but there are a lot of resources online. I also like refer back to a book called the Body Keeps the Score which describes the neuroscience behind ptsd and how to develop healthy coping mechanisms. Please don't lose hopr anon, I believe in your capacity to make a change for the better.

Have you ever told any of your friends this? Do you feel like they would be able to deal with your need for distance? It's actually pretty common for people with abandonment trauma to attract each other, which unfortunately ends up being a disaster because one person's needs are unintentionally triggering the other's. Often what happens is that one person with abandonment trauma will disconnect and distance to avoid pain, while the other will get really clingy and insist on more closeness.

Best course of action is to make friends with people who are emotionally stable and have a good support system as is, and don't need you to constantly be there for them emotionally. Try and familiarize yourself with red flags that indicate a person has abandonment trauma that they haven't healed from. These types of relationships are going to be too much work for both of you to deal with.

At the same time, you need to be willing to at least communicate in some way that you're uncomfortable getting too close to people. That way, people won't be so puzzled by the behavior and think that you don't want to be around them. If you don't feel comfortable doing so, that's probably a sign that the person isn't a good choice as a friend.

No idea if that counts as a vent but whatever. I was suddenly wondering right now why I was secretly following a guy I knew from university on twitter for some time before deleting my account a few months ago, because it's been a while since I did it. I remember that he managed to get a nice comfortable job thanks to a friend and complete, sheer luck and his company was looking for an intern. I needed that internship asap to graduate and since he talked about it on fb I sent him my resume and asked for info. He then said way later once I came back to him and asked for news that because, according to his manager, I didn't have the right degree (even though I had the exact same one except it's a master's instead of just a bachelor's so it's even more valuable in general and actually made me actually qualified to work in this field, unlike him) and I don't have experience yet (even though an internship is meant to be a first experience AND he got the actual job as opposed to just an internship despite having no exp whatsoever in that field anyway) the manager wasn't interested in my application and looked for someone else.

Before that, I found his twitter by coincidence, a fb friend/mutual/whatever also from university advertised his twitter for his small company he just created and I noticed they followed each other because the guy had a selfie as his icon. If the guy didn't have his selfies all over his twitter I wouldn't have recognized him at all. I was curious and went back to both these guys' accounts at some point because I had way too much time to waste from not being able to graduate on time because I had no internship and the guy was bragging about how he, and not his manager, was recruiting the intern he had to train and he made sure to specifically look for guys, and he hired a guy just because he found him hot. He spent the next 6 months complaining about the intern being an incompetent idiot who only caused problems and slowed everyone down but it was ok because he was supposedly really hot. I guess I was so mad after seeing that that I started following him later so I could know more about the situation and he was sometimes posting confidential info about other employees and forgot to blur out some parts of some documents like full names or the company's address and name and I regret not archiving that shit just in case I could use it against him. I'm dumb. Anyway, the morale of this story is, never trust male feminist, even the 100% gay ones. I can't believe the guy actually used to be so nice irl and brag about being a feminist and standing up for his "sisters" and would do something that fucked up, I thought he would just stick to trying to make me his fag hag for being a tomboyish """sassy""" ethnic minority while shitting on my other tomboyish friends for not wearing makeup. He started following me soon after I did and he was always trying so hard to joke with me and be nice me despite me ignoring him most of the time because he had no clue who I was online. I also found his tumblr in which he was shit talking many people from university like a two-faced little bitch as well, and over things where he was worse than the vast majority of us.

Speaking of, his friend I found on twitter first was also an arrogant piece of shit and I wish he never deleted his twitter because I wanted to see how and why exactly his company failed. Dude was spending his time being so condescending and treating people like idiots for no reason (except me, he was just avoiding me while shit talking and making fun of my friends) and I was a bit happy to his life project crash and burn out of nowhere.

Dear god nonnies, I feel like I really fucked it this time.

I'm a music major, first of all. And typically, it's considered poor taste to date someone who plays the same instrument as you because you have to be around them for a while. Guess what I did? Fell for the top-performing guy in my studio. Fell for him a year ago, actually. To cope I tried pushing him away and actively not talking or being nice to him and I definitely dated another guy just to get my mind off of it. But here we are and that other guy ghosted me out of nowhere. My feelings come back full force, as they do.

I dropped a couple of hints and then finally got coffee with him. We chatted for a few hours and it was great! Wonderful! But then when he said he needed to drive me back to my apartment I fucked up. I slammed the car door and blurted out that I had liked him for a long while but I knew the circumstances were terrible but maybe he would want to be more than friends anyways? He told me that yeah, the circumstances were godawful but he actually liked me back. We talked for a little bit about this new precarious situation, about how we can't do anything necessarily but wouldn't it be nice? Maybe it's just my BPDfag ass talking, but he said he didn't want to break my heart when he graduated next semester and I melted a little. So we came to a sort-of conclusion that we would keep talking and hanging out and, I'm quoting him, "if something happens, then it happens". And so I swooped in and asked if I could kiss him and Christ! He's really fucking good at that and I wasn't expecting it! So I'm like double-fucked.

That was three days ago, and he's been not necessarily ignoring me, but definitely waiting a while to reply to me. The worst. And like, that's not even what's upsetting. It's the fact that if the circumstances had been any different, we would be what I want. Here I am, with a guy that actually likes me back and is available, but I can't have him because of the circumstances that brought us together in the first place.

I'm a dumbass and I'm working myself into a tizzy trying to make sense of everything and I wish someone could just slap some sense into me. It's like Plato's allegory of the cave up in this bitch. Hopefully this was coherent, I'm really intoxicated right now and I wanted to cry at someone who wouldn't judge me because "it would never work out!"

I realized that I very likely have ADHD and I'm trying to get a diagnosis for it. I don't have a family doctor so I had to get referred to a GP by a walk-in clinic. I was told that the GP would contact me within the next 10 days, and if I didn't hear from the GP, to call the walk-in clinic again for another referral. Suffice to say the GP never did call me. I understand they are incredibly busy, but it's proving to be a pain in the fucking ass to get the ball rolling towards diagnosis, which is made worse by the fact that I'm going back to school tomorrow after a 4 years long hiatus. I had to drop out because of mental burnout, I couldn't be arsed to complete a single deadline, it felt horrible. I don't want to be in that position again.

Why the fuck do people say that life gets better in your thirties? I'm not there just yet but I just don't get it. I want to understand, I want to be happy, it just neither makes any logical sense to me nor is it experientally true for me in any possible way. Each passing year is worse and worse.

I'm lonelier than ever - it's ridiculously difficult to make friends as an adult compared to in your teens, you don't have the same diverse, structured social lifestyle that comes with being in high school / university etc. Most people are exhausted from their jobs and don't really have the energy to be social anymore. The little they have left they spend on their family usually. I have no interest whatsoever in procreation, raising children or being around them, and that feels alienating. I just Do Not Get It.

I do things on my own but I've been doing the same things on my own for 10 years now. This isn't something I'm able to do now that I wasn't before. On the contrary, I had a lot more spare time before I had a full time job. Sure, I have money, but I find it meaningless past a certain point which really isn't that far up. I was happier when I was relatively poor but I had spare time and people to do things with. What can money buy to make me happier, on my own, past the basic comforts of life? Experiences? Experiences are fun when shared. I had memorable experiences with friends on a shoestring budget in my early 20s. Experience what on my own now? Alcoholism? I have a relative surplus of money and cannot think of anything to spend it on that could add value to my life at this point.

I just fucking hate being so lonely. I wish either I was like most people, able to be content somehow with what they are content with, or that more people were like me and we could do things together. Before anyone jumps down my throat because it's apparently a Controversial Opinion nowadays to say you get lonely on your own eventually, I do things on my own and have done so for a long enough time, it just does get repetitive after a while.

My health is shittier, I have to watch what I eat now lest I feel gross most of the time, I need to sleep more, my face is starting to wrinkle, I get random pains I didn't have before.

The grind of the capitalist workplace has removed any hopes and dreams I once had of doing something fulfilling and meaningful. I had hopes and dreams in my teenage years and early 20s, now I barely do anymore. Just some sort of childlike innocence I guess that is now gone. The great things I wanted to be part of as an adult don't even seem to exist in real life. Everything is just a massive disappointment. And that's the thing. I'm not jealous of anyone around me. I don't really have any major regrets. I don't think I have it worse off than most people. I'm aware I don't. I'm sure any number of things feel fulfilling to different individuals but I, personally, can not see myself happy doing any of those things.

And it's not even like I had an amazing young adulthood. It's truly not about that. I wasn't ever popular or outstandingly succesful at anything and I was extremely self conscious. There were periods of fun though and of feeling like there's some purpose to it all.

Now there's just no light at the end of any tunnel in any direction. Life feels like a merciless meat grinder. The walls are closing in more and more each year. And the only way we can go is forward, into the endless claustrophobic void.

I just don't get it. I want to get it. I want to get it so badly. I just absolutely cannot empathize at all with enjoying anything about this life period (and probably any of the ones that follow it as well). What the hell am I meant to do for another 30+ years of this? Literally how exactly could it ever get better?

I can afford matching furniture and to turn my heating on more during winter, as I rot indoors doing nothing of any value to anyone including myself every day for the 4th year in a row. What a great, fulfilling adult life. I don't even fucking want matching furniture anymore. Who gives a fucking crap. I literally haven't experienced the feeling of fun in years.

Fuck I know this sounds awfully self complacent but I need to let it out. I just miss simpler times and the luxury of shared spontaneity with friends. I wish anyone else around me wanted to experience the same things I want to experience.

I just do bare minimum to keep myself alive and afloat. Fear is the only thing that can nudge me into action.

Elderly dog anon back again. Confronted my mom twice today about the dog’s quality of life. She said, “Her time is coming. She’s my dog, I’m not putting her down”
Does she want her to really fucking suffer before she dies? I told her I can’t keep ignoring something like this. I’m hoping my persistence will make her understand but so far nothing.
She woke me up at 4 am this morning to help her down the stairs outside. She was so weak, it was a struggle, and I’m sure we caused her some pain in the process.
I’m fucking angry.
I think I’ve gone and upset her now, but I really don’t fucking care. Losing a dog isn’t supposed to be easy, making this decision isn’t supposed to be easy. But you do it because there’s no point in prolonging suffering. Quality of quantity.

The issue is that I also live in a shithole country where nothing ever happens. Making friends in general isn't easy here. I'm pretty sure the issues I'm having would be less pronounced in a slightly more… Diverse, modern place. There literally are no active communities for my true interests here.

Im still very affected by my abusive relationship from 2 years, i never really got therapy because im really low on money for therapy sessions. I get frequent dreams of him, it is mostly my family being killed and myself since he threatened that once and it still fucking scares me a lot even tho i will never fucking see him ever again.

I just hate getting random depressive episodes, panic attacks and night terrors. I just fucking hate myself for not leaving him sooner, i could have prevented myself from getting hurt. Even my close friends told me to leave him, they were right there was some red flags but i was so delusional.

I really love my friends for warning me and telling me to break up with him, even if i broke it off later. I still have major respect for them. I just wish i wasnt so selfish and blind.

Also, i just realized that my ex abuser is a pedophile. He was 2 years older than me, i was 17. He made me sent explicit pictures and im really disgusted of myself, i still have his address and such but im not sure if he still lives there or lives at all (he suicide baited alot too). He still probably has those explicit pics of me when i was still considered a child, i could report him for possesing child porn.

Depressive episodes, anxiety, attacks of paranoia. More so than anything I'm just really fucking angry. That being said, I feel like these attacks are happening further and further apart, and it's easier for me to come back down from them. It takes time to heal, but it does get better. Have you looked into low cost therapy centers in your area? They offer payment on a sliding scale since their therapists are all still in training and aren't licensed yet.

Does anyone here have trouble deciding on which hobbies they've wanted to pursue? I don't feel like I can keep track of them

I've dabbled in various hobbies over the past couple of years from makeup to fashion to Magic. I've never managed to keep at anything for an extended period of time because my life gets too busy and I lose track of things.

I moved back in with my family this summer because of COVID and they moved. Seeing all of my shit together and wondering where all the stuff I can't find really puts into perspective how much stuff I've accumulated trying to pursue my hobbies. But now I feel so overwhelmed I don't know where to start in sorting through my stuff and actually using it. For example, I have a ton of alt fashion clothes but I can't decide what to wear so I just end up wearing my normie clothes all of the time instead.

Part of me feels like giving everything away and just starting over with a minimalist lifestyle instead. I wouldn't do that because I know I'll just start accumulating things again. And I just can't figure out what to do so I end up gaming for hours a day. Ugh.

Fds is really right about never helping men. I have a fwb who is really mentally ill like it's not even a joke. He disappeared for a while and then came back and said "sorry I was just focusing on myself". The fact that he was focusing on himself really dawned on me that he couldnt give two shits about me, he never asks how I'm doing or about my mental health. He came back and all he has to say is "I was focusing on myself" no "how have you been?"…I noticed he never asks how I've been. Men do nothing that doesnt benefit them, so I proceeded to block him with no guilt. He did try to guilt me with his mental illness excuse but tbh I didnt even give a shit.

I'll agree that men are socialized to be more selfish in general, but mentally ill people being self-centered cunts is absolutely a problem for both genders. Maybe in different ways.
Most mentally ill men I've ever encountered acted precisely in the way you described. They check out/check in whenever they please, believing that mental unwellness gives them the right to behave however they see fit, and if anyone has a problem with how they are treated by them then they can turn it around and make others the bad guys because their mental conditions are like the perfect excuse to avoid all accountability. It used to upset me, but now I'm kind of glad that these types of weak men effectively weed themselves out of social circles leaving only the most doormat, beta people who will blame themselves while taking their abuses.

Then what would you call their sexual orientation if they have no sexual attraction to either sex? I don't mean simply "no libido," I mean categorizing them into straight, gay or bisexual because you don't believe asexual is the apt description.

no libido and low libido aren't the same thing. i have 0 libido. i use the word because it's simply convenient when i'm screaming into the lolcow void.
but using it as an actual sexuality is retarded. if you're straight, stating you're "asexual" is TMI unless you're using the word to describe your situation to a friend, doctor, therapist or whatever.

>>625510
personally i think using general words (straight, gay, lesbian, bi) is more useful. why do people need to know i don't fuck or only fuck on wednesdays? (grey asexuals kek). it's not so much about my sexuality as it is about my general orientation for a partner.
the split attraction model is retarded anyways. got lesbians convincing themselves they're bisexual homoromantic.

Telling someone you're asexual has functionalities outside of talking to your closest associates. It's a sexual orientation because it aptly describes who you're sexually attracted to–no one. If you're asexual and try to use a dating app, chances are a person who does experience sexual attraction is going to get pissed if you wait until they try to initiate to be like "yeah, I'm not attracted to you like that." Most asexual people only really end up with other asexual people anyway (not that there aren't couples made up of asexual and allosexual people). Sure some people have some kind of hormonal imbalance, but that isn't the case for every asexual person.

I'm older than the average userbase here, and we didn't have the term "asexual", so my male best friend just calls himself "impotent".

With that in mind, I'm happy that there's a better, less negative way to call such people than "impotent" for men or "frigid" for women, which were the only labels we had for them until recently.

I don't care if saying "asexual" is ~cringy~ or whatever, at least it's not as needlessly cruel as "frigid/impotent". From a historical perspective, the term "asexual" brought in positive change.

My sister is definitely weird and I myself have thought she might have something similar to autism (she was tested when she was younger and was told no) but even so, it's no ones place to openly and verbally speculate what is wrong with her. She's doesn't exhibit any of the symptoms of autism or aspergers because being really reserved and excessive blinking when talking to people, but that could be social anxiety or literally anything else. it just makes me sad for her, I don't want people looking at her in any way besides a normal person deserving of respect.

Autism is a fad diagnosis. It's become the new ADHD and everyone and their mother apparently has it now. Hopefully the craze will burn out within a few years because it's gotten to the point that I just roll my eyes every time someone tells me they think they have autism, or they think a family member has autism, etc. I really only think a small percentage of people qualify for a true autism diagnosis, but armchair fags keep spreading misinformation and trying to extend the diagnosis criteria so that anyone can qualify.

Back in the day doctors would actually refrain from full on diagnosing kids with autism if they were high functioning little weirdos because what good would do slapping a medical label and othering them from other children? Being a “special kid” was not seen as a good thing and living a life as normally as possible was the main goal.

That was the case with me, I genuinely have issues, my mom had a placental abruption at 7 months and i had a handful of developmental issues in childhood, but i was functioning enough that i could socialize with other kids and make friends and didn’t need special attention in school, so the pediatrician thought it was best to leave it at that and not slap a Token Spazz Kid label on me.

Of course I was seeing a therapist on the side to overcome my problems but there was no need to diagnose me with a syndrome and other me from other kids.

In your opinion, do you think that was the right decision? How do you think it led you to turn out? You dont have to answer im just curious your view.

Myself I'm particularly annoyed with the current trend (for lack of a better word) because my relative actually has autism, along with another serious disability. He's very low functioning due to both, and when I see people talking about how you should "just listen to disabled/autistic people, it's not something bad, they shouldn't be under someone else's control"– like I generally agree and think that's a good message for many of those people. I listen to him, I don't curse his autism for existing I love him a lot and want for him what makes him safe and happy. But it's not that easy for people like him. My relative is non-verbal, has some harmful behaviors stemming from autism, and if you left him to fend for himself… I can't imagine. I know he's a special case due to his situation, but I've seen people act like low-functioning/non-verbal/etc. autistic people are less important, and brush over that issue. And I feel like that's a result of so many high-functioning cases being in the spotlight, or something

Definitely was the right call, school wise I had a very happy childhood even if I wasn’t the most popular kid i felt well loved by my peers and teachers, never was picked on for my weird speech patterns or being kinda wobbly (I didn’t do sports and was prone to falling alot, i had some issues with controlling my legs properly) I personally never felt Different from other people well until I hit my later teens, because tbh all kids are kinda weird and if its a good school where behavioral issues aren’t a problem they won’t single out another kid for being quirky in a different way if the kid can socialize properly, my classmates didn’t care that i spoke weird when we were playing pokemon together or poking anthills with sticks.


Eventually I got bullied really badly on high school but I was just dealt a bad hand in classmates, most of my friends nowadays say their classmates would’ve never allowed something like that to happen in their school, I wish i had received more support during that time and maybe a professional diagnosis in my medical file would’ve made a difference on the school at least making an attempt to ensure my well being because letting people bully a retard is always bad press, they simply abandoned me to the wolves because my bullies were rich and their families donated to the school board.

Autism has a bad rep of being the disease of model spergs in a way, people expect people with autism to be super smart little genius that are oh so quirky and a tiny bit socially awkward, when the reality is that most people with serious autism wont ever fit in society and will need a caretaker who will basically sacrifice their lives to care for the other, and these are the people who need autism resources the most but soccer moms copted out autism because they think their special little boy who throws tantrums, ops sorry, “sensory meltdowns” because she’s too busy drinking is going to be next Sheldon Cooper.

She's an elderly cat so I've been sort of preparing myself mentally for her passing. But I'm not prepared. I don't want her to go. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a little over a week ago and she got medicine for it, her current symptoms match the common side effects of the medicine so I'm hoping she'll be fine if we just stop the meds and try another form of treatment instead.

Thank you for the replies anons, you're so sweet! Being a pet owner is really hard sometimes.
I took my cat to the vet and it turned out like I suspected, her thyroid levels had gone too low which is making her really nauseous. She got medication for the nausea and we halved her dosage for the hyperthyroidism medication. If it turns out the problem isn't the dosage but that the medicine just doesn't suit her we'll have to consider other treatment options. All of her blood work aside from her thyroid levels came out normal though, so that's a big relief.
In any case, she's home with me now and I'm just waiting for the nausea medicine to kick in and her to eat something.

Why did I accept to come 3 weeks in the backwood to feed my mom's cat?
She already pushed me to a semi panic attack because everything has to be looking fucking perfect.
Why does it matter? It's just going to be me all alone and I don't fucking care at all if the cushions are at perfect angle.
Ended up drugging myself for the first 2 day so I could sleep away (still fed the cat and took care of course).
Now, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm already panicked at the idea of her coming back friday and poiting and putting back in place all of the things I did wrong (And it's probably all of them).

No wonder I have pathological anxiety and ran away when I could. I can't handle this. I don't want to live in a picture perfect house. What's the point. I'm living here, of course it's going to be a little messy even if I clean and tidy everyday.

I had a similar incident and brought my male cat in for a presumed UTI, but the vet said less than 10% of cases she sees in relation to piss is a true UTI. What they might do is check the urine for signs of trouble like sugars or WBCs and preform an xray to check for blockages. It ran me just under $300CAD to find out my cat is an asshole and terrified of the ceiling fan near his shitterbox.
It's always a tough decision because kidney/bladder issues in male cats can take a quick nosedive if left untreated. I'd recommend getting them checked out juuuuust in case, because it's always better to spend $300 and have a neutral outcome than risking anything else.

I'm thinking about writing my therapist an e-mail that I want to quit therapy.
She came back from her vacation and I thought that our first session together was on September 1st, because I was certain she told me this, but according to her my first appointment was two weeks earlier, so she gave me an 80€ bill for missing it, even though it was obviously a misunderstanding (it might have even been her fault, because I really don't remember her saying anything about this earlier appointment).
Then she spent the next session on trying to get me to talk about my feelings regarding the bill. At the end of that same session, I told her that I might move next year because this city really is horrible and neither me nor my boyfriend like it here or feel good about the thought of spending the next 4-5 years here. She felt attacked because then our "work" would come to an end, told me that it's not a good decision and spun it around like it's my boyfriend manipulating me into moving to the other city because he wants to go to uni there, which is not true. Of course him wanting to study there is one reason we want to move, but it's not the only reason and I'd say that I'm probably even more excited to get out of this hellhole than he is. (We literally live in the poorest, most run-down city in the whole country so I don't know why it's so hard to fathom that we want to move.)
I get that she's still a human and of course she doesn't want to lose a relatively easy patient, and of course we won't be able to continue but does that really have to mean that it was all for nothing? I think that it was kinda out of line for her to take it so personally. It wasn't the first time either. She doesn't talk a lot about the deeper thoughts I express to her but always tells me what she thinks I should do in regard to life choices, like if I should study or learn a trade (she pretty much told me it would be stupid of me to learn a trade) and compares it to her own life.
I thought we clicked in the beginning but I feel so uncomfortable about the whole thing now. She wants me to start psychoanalysis two times a week but I definitely don't want that anymore.
I know that this isn't anything severe, like that one anon who had her therapist literally scream at her, but I still feel like I've lost my trust in her. I don't feel like I can be real with her, I always feel like I need to justify my actions and thoughts and if I want to do that and be told what to do I might as well just talk to my mom. It just feels like I could find a therapist that's better suited for me.
Now I'm uncertain on what to do and it stresses me out. I have other important things on my mind and just want to get this out of the way but I don't really know what to do or say. And I don't even know for sure if she was even really out of line or if I'm just paranoid.

I think people feel this way because they assume that your life is enriched by your friends when the other things are absent. If you don't have friends, do you have a partner, kids, or both and just prefer to tend to your family? Or even your immediate family? Do you prefer to be entirely alone, or do you have at least one person that you can talk to? I've never come across a friend-free person that prefers to be that way, so I'm curious in the most genuine way possible if you want to elaborate.

So he says to her that he has no money and she also said that she feel unfair to charge him money for the water bill because he is currently in a difficult situation (no job and will soon go into a day hospital because of is borderline). Now on the other side is my mum who pays everything for him (still buys him clothes, shoes etc. even when he is 24yo) and on the other hand there is my brother who spends every cent he can get his hands on stuff like 500€ tattoos. Now he told me not to tell my mum because he knows she will hate it and my mum told me I have to be "careful" with him in those times but at the same time I can't stand the idea that he leeches my mum off and does nothing than playing vidya games and cost her money.

I think most anons will tell you to rat him out, but that will definitely piss off your brother and sour the relationship. Your mom likely has an idea already that he's wasting his money, unless his tattoos are super hidden.

You should definitely talk to him privately and tell him it's unfair that he's blowing his money while not helping his mom at all, but if he's going to the hospital for his mental illness, it sounds pretty bad.

Frivolous spending is actually a symptom of BPD, so you could mention to your mom that you think his illness is making him spend money unwisely without giving her all the details. It doesn't like he's well enough to be in control of his finances, so that could be a talk with his doctors as well.

He says that he wants to get his tat in around 3-4 weeks, he will start going to the day hospital next week. Maybe he could change his mind a little on that? Idk I will also talk to my mum again because she has not that much money as well to feed him for god knows how long.

>It doesn't like he's well enough to be in control of his finances

before that my mum was the one who got the child benefit for him because he is under 25 and went to school.

Bpd or not, if he has money coming in weekly he should be paying for his own basic needs. Depending on what country you're in.. some pay out 220 euros a week to unemployed neets. That's meant to cover living expenses… so why is your mom covering his living expenses?

I told her once that it isn't normal for a now 24 yo old guy needing his mum to buy basic clothes or shoes and she said that's she is aware that's it isn't normal and shouldn't be like that but isn't changing it either idk

Plus, as an Amerifag, I am very aware of the fact that our medical industry is entirely profit-driven and that virtually everyone involved is in it for the money. I don't believe any of them truly care about helping people. If I have to get some sort of procedure done, they are always so rough and callous with me, even the female doctors. I almost always leave a doc's office crying after even just a pap smear.

A few years ago after I started university I also started going to the local anime con twice a year because that was a good way to spend time with friends on the weekend. I grew up poor and since I entered university I was eligible for a small scholarship but since I lived with my family at the time I didn't have to spend a lot of money so could save a lot of money. Because of that I spent a lot of money "treating myself" on figurines, prints, posters, merchandises, manga, etc. because that seemed like a new luxury and I was so happy to have this much money to spend on things I always wanted. And seeing American artists I liked on tumblr posting everything they bought and sold in their huge cons kinda encouraged me to do the same thing.

Now I hate that I bought so many useless things back then and I wish I never did that because that was a lot of money when I think about it and try to imagine how much that was in total, and it takes too much space. I sold a lot of books, threw out many badges and all my big posters, and I wish I could easily seLl my figurines and plushes. My friends are interested in them but I'm still angry at myself somehow for spending so much money on stupid shit. I think being unemployed is getting to me.

Overall I have a good partnership with my fiancé or 3 years, but our sex life bothers me. The issue is he doesn’t touch me at all during sex. Sex for us is either me blowing him or him penetrating me from behind while we lay on our sides. Very occasionally we kiss (like once a month or so) during sex and sometimes we hold hands or caress each other. In the beginning of our relationship he would touch me or finger me occasionally but this hasn’t happened in like a year… I know sex is by no means our only avenue for intimacy, but sex has become cold and robotic for me and I the last few times we’ve done it I’ve felt very shitty afterwards. I don’t know how to broach this topic with him, I don’t really like talking about sex and have trouble communicating my needs in general

Anyway, after a while my mental health started getting worse and I had a breakdown and got rid of my phone and just ghosted everybody. Now I'm doing better but I don't remember her number or last name so I don't think we'll ever reconnect which is probably for the best.

But you can say no? You can tell your doctor that you feel uncomfortable because of it and, a doctor with ethics, might explain to you why it’s important that you get certain tests done, and if that doesn’t convince you, or your mother, the ethical doctor won’t pressure you into it.

I mean, there’s a bunch of people that I know that have never gone to a gynecologist, you can also just do that and hope that nothing’s fucked.

You can if you are past a certain age, but they still pressure you heavily.

There is good reason for them to pressure you though. It’s like the ‘pressure’ to get your kids vaccinated.

About the med student thing, I completely this is wrong but this happens with prostate exam practice as well, and other medical procedures being ‘practiced’ on you by students.

A friend of mine is dead set on getting a cat in the future and I'm pissed about it. I'm not trying to be a bitch here, but they don't live in the best place. It's falling apart and has a lot of pest control issues, bugs, rats, snakes, etc. I've seen bugs in their fridge before even and there is actually rat shit on the carpets. Definitely not even an environment for people, let alone a pet. Plus, their financial situation isn't great and I don't think it's wise to get a pet if you can't afford emergency situations should the need every come up. I have two cats that seemed healthy when I got them but it turns out they both need special food and medicine for their surprise health issues and it costs me a lot of money each month just for that, plus random vet visits, flea medicine, etc.

I just think it's so irresponsible. I've tried to bring this up gently in the past but they are very flippant and think everything will be fine. Maybe they've just gotten used to living in a fucking hovel or something. I don't know. That poor cat.

It happens and it's wrong with prostate exams too, but 90% of med students in a study admited to doing this. It's insane and i doubt they are doing this to men at the same rate. Any kind of exam that involves genitals should only be made if the patient is awake or consented beforehand.
Men are not pressured like this from a young age to get prostate exams every 3 years despite them being just as important and there is no epidemic of them dropping dead from prostate cancer, it's extremely rare even if there are way more cases than cervical cancer.

You ‘doubting it happens to men at the same rate’ is based on nothing. This happens with many procedures and is done in extremely controlled environments. It’s still wrong, but it’s not being done as some specific attack on women and isn’t a Pap smear specific problem.

There is less pressure because prostate cancer is a lot less common in young men than cervical cancer is in young women. After 50 men are expected to get regular screening. It’s not some grand conspiracy to ‘keep women down’ or whatever by forcing them to get pap smears. It’s for their own benefit.

Oh farmers, I'm going to vent to you because this shit is getting to my anxieties and I can't go to my real life friends because I'm so tired of feeling judged for romantic life predicaments. My boyfriend and I were talking about our relationship plans in the next couple years, and getting married is at least in the cards. He was picking my brain about engagement ring ideas and I half-jokingly brought up that I could make him a spreadsheet. He unironically agreed and we both came to the conclusion that it's better to be specific & communicative about the things we want. Confession, farmers: I'm almost 30 and this is the closest I've ever gotten in a relationship where an (atheistic) guy actually wanted to marry me and not keep me as a forever gf. I wasted half of my 20s with a fucking idiot. Not to digress too far into this issue, but before my current bf I've had exes promise me shows of commitment like this and ultimately never follow through. They just turn out to be shit and I break it off. It's why I can't go to my friends about this either, cause tbh, until a guy puts that ring on me I don't take his word for shit anymore. I wouldn't be able to handle gushing my heart to my friends again just to eat my foot when I'd have to end things later for a vetted reason. My friends probably look down on me by now and think I'm lucky to get whatever I can. Maybe that's irrational, but it hurts so bad. Albeit older, they're in marriages or have at least been in long-term relationships for awhile, and here I am having to start over all the while having had shit luck with men. It's hard not feeling left behind or like I've made the wrong choices. It's difficult getting over the trust issues I have about my current boyfriend while telling myself he loves me and isn't going to fuck me over like the others.

Anyways, anyways. Anyway, that was a bigger tangent than I thought. So the main anxiety comes into play over the fact that I don't know what to fucking choose. I'm laying out a bunch of information, graphics, and links in this spreadsheet but even I feel overwhelmed. How is he supposed to feel? I'm set on having a marquise diamond as the stone but I have several ideas for style and can think of pros and cons for all of them.
The biggest hurdle is getting over the fact that boyfriend wants us to have yellow gold bands, which is a compromise for me because I don't really wear yellow gold and would prefer platinum. He doesn't care for the color and it reminds him of what his ex wanted. I think the yellow gold has grown on me a bit, but should I insist on platinum? He did say it's about what I wanted. Whatever the case, I just know that at the end of the day, I will like a cool toned band over a warm one. So there's that.
Then the band itself, oh my fucking god I do not know. I think I want something fancy like pic related. I do wear a lot of cute and frilly things so it wouldn't be too far-fetched of a choice for me, but I'm afraid of it being impractical and prone to damage. Then I switch to wanting a more simple band like a pave solitaire, but then I worry I'll feel plain and will be wanting for more. Like I'll regret my ring down the line.
The kicker is I don't even know what his budget is. I should have asked. I'm putting a variety of shit into this spreadsheet but nervous that he'll turn into the typical man and shoot for the cheapest option without really considering what suits me best. I even hinted at a customization in one scenario, and all I can think is would a man really put in that effort for me? He did always put effort into our dates, and I think he'd do whatever I'd ask him to. But still, I worry.

I've been looking for advice anywhere on the internet, but the closest I've come to reviewing what other women have is r/engagementrings. I don't know what I'm doing.

Where have I said it is? Ive said like seven times imo it’s not ethical. This happens with prostate exams, and multiple other procedures.

I had MILD cystic acne and after years just sucking it up I went to a derm. I went on one condition- I absolutely did not want to go on accutane for personal reasons (mainly to do with the birth defects it causes.) The derm I went to basically treated me like I was stupid and tried to get me to like the idea of accutane the entire appointment. I politely declined each and every time and the appointment ended with her giving me a cream she said "wouldn't work anyway" and the paperwork for an accutane prescription. I was dealing with 3-5 cystic pimples a month, not some extreme situation. I didn't even use the cream, I honestly wondered if she gave me something that wouldn't work intentionally so I'd have to come back. I know there are great doctors out there who have a love for their job and their patients but I really don't want to ever gamble with getting stuck with a shitty one.

I agree it can be physically painful because I've had cysts before and they were pretty bad, but I don't think it's good to encourage people to take meds with so many potential and adverse side effects to cure a disease that won't kill you.

That was my experience and I didn’t really have any side effects so that probably influences how I feel about it.

I remember talking to a dermatologist who said that recently there’s a growing consensus that it’s better to prescribe a very low dose but for longer, I wonder if the vitamin A thing was why.

Vitamin A is stored in your liver and it can potentially stay there for up to two years. I’m studying science and a big part of my work has been with vitamins and supplements and the harm they can cause the body. Vitamin A is like magnesium in the sense that you can’t really know the possible damage you’re doing to you body long term. The body is an intricate machine and I think we should all be more aware of how impactful medications actually are on us over time, if at least to try to combat the complications that could arise as we age. I’m glad if you have your skin issues under control but I do urge you to be very careful with yourself in the coming years and take care of your bones and liver!

For women it's breast cancer, we get constant screenings for that and are taught to feel for lumps etc. All good. The second leading cause of cancer deaths in women is lung, third being colon, but how many women do you know who have regular CT scans and colon tests done every three years? Hell you saw how many prostate cancer deaths there are and men are still not as pressured to test for it.
I'm not against them btw, i think they should be done and eon't usually cause harm, but the pressure is ridiculous when other forms of cancer kill at a greater or similar rate and are ignored.

I call penetrating someone with something in the ass or vagina who is not awake and did not give consent rape or at least assault when done outside of an emergency, don't know about you.
The questionaire done for the rate that men get surprise non consenting rectum examination turned out that more than half or them were done in an unconscious guy and a quarter with no consent iirc. Really different from the 90% of women. Doctors have biases they carry on their work and womens consent is overlooked a lot.
Also i'm not against pap smears, it is an important screening tool. Have one every year or whatever your docs recommendation is if you feel safer like that and it causes you no issues, i'm mad at how some people act like if you don't get one religiously you have like a 50% chance of getting cancer every year when it's simply not true if you are not high risk. It's an invasive procedure, it's painful very often and it can be torture for someone who has trauma, fearmongering that they will die and pressuring them doesn't help.

No. 626654

>>626651
The original anon was saying pap smears themselves are medical rape not the unconscious ones. I personally also just do not see this huge pressure for pap smears, maybe it’s country specific idk. People will say you should get them but if you’re traumatised or something I don’t think it’s common for people to respond to that with ‘you have a 50% chance of dying of cancer’ or something like that. No one has to get a pap smear but even if someone has trauma they’re still at risk and it’s obviously best to catch things early.

my bf was recently in the crossfire of a shooting between two cars. a bullet did go through his car as he was getting something out of the back, but it was aimed at one of the two cars involved in the scuffle.

i go on instagram to see he’s posted pictures of his windshield and headrest where the bullet went through. he mentions there was a casing next to him. but here’s the kicker: he says he was “targeted”. wtf, absolutely not. he loves to spin a large tale when it comes to any situation he experiences, and he’s great at it, admittedly. but this was too far.

i called him, saying i wanted to “give him shit”. now he’s all upset saying he was the only one there, we never know if he was or wasn’t, etc. i agreed it was traumatic and awful, but he definitely was NOT targeted and to start off a post saying that is very misleading. i was also in my backyard when it happened. heard the car that fired shots say “who the fuck is that?!” when the other car came around the corner.

i may also be upset because i was pretty close to the line of fire as well and he never consoled me or said he was grateful nothing happened to me, etc. idk.

Oh, i'm sorry, i didn't see that. I don't see the normal procedure as medical rape too, it is invasive but it's not like there is any other way to test for it.
Personally i've seen people say that cervical cancer is almost guaranteed without pap smears to women who didn't want to. Maybe it is due to location ig. I think everyone should know the risks since there is a risk like you said but i don't think this huge pressure is helpful for something personal like this.

I have been working for my company for 5 years now and have come up as a manager role with the senior managers taking care of the wages. I've been given an unworkable contract for over a year, had an entire departments transferred to my responsibilities before that for 8 months while they hired a dedicated person to manage that side. I managed to keep everything stable with a lot of stress and i kept on getting praise from other departments saying i'm amazing at my job.

I am being underpaid about 40% under market value though.

I've told them that i am unhappy with my current wage at the end of last year and that i was considering quitting 2 months ago and that i could get paid 1.7x my current wage at another place. They admitted that i was being underpaid and that i may get that boost at the start of this year, even when i complained about it last years.
Anyway i just found out that my employee was getting paid more than me by 9%. I'm actually feeling sick and i am ready to quit. They haven't taken my quit threats seriously while knowingly paying my fucking employees who something similar yet significantly less than what i do. There is no winning with this company, it's time to move on like i was at the start of the year.

Fucking COVID prevented me from quitting at the start of the year but i've been saving up to give myself plenty of unemployment leeway if required.

While i could act like Little Ms Victim i've just kind accepted that i've let myself be taken advantage of and I can't expect the world to play fair when it comes to evaluating hard work. The best i can do is cast a vote in the federal election.
Anyway I have about 5 weeks worth of sick leave and you bet i'm going to take a few sickies in and about 10 weeks of annual leave they will have to pay out if i quit. I never understood why so many anon's got stuck in abusive relationships but i now know how it feels. Fuck this shit, i deserve better and this shitty company needs Me a lot more than i need it.

Just wanted to commiserate and say that you're not alone.

I've been kept on hold with the company I'm working for. They keep renewing a short-term contract with me (that underpays me) for almost a year now with no timeframe of when they'll offer me direct hire. Upper management and new management I run into at meetings always tells me they've "heard great things about me" and that I do good work, but I suppose it's not enough to offer me worthy pay. Or paid sick time. Or vacation. Or health insurance. Or any semblance of human rights.

If someone says they were targeted in a shooting, it has a much different connotation. It’s sounds obvious he was trying to paint a different picture than the truth, which seems to be he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yeah, I can still think “Wow, if I got murdered right now in my sleep, I wouldn’t mind” or “I hope this mild illness I got kills me” but I will long for all the things I haven’t done/got, so I won’t actively try to kill myself, I will just wait for something to kill me while listening to my unavoidable instinct that asks me to not do retarded stuff and live.

My awful father in law brough me a tiny kitten this evening that some asshole gave him. No prior notice. I had to run to ask relatives for kitten food because I didn't have anything for him and stores were already closed due to the quarantine schedule.
They said he's 8 weeks old but judging by his teeth and size he's clearly not older than 5 weeks and in really bad shape, very lethargic with a bad eye infection.
The pandemic is hitting hard in my country atm so the earliest I could get a vet appointment is in 10 more hours, and that after explaining that it was an emergency situation.
I haven't slept and i can't sleep. I don't want anything to happen to this little baby. This in law is such an asshole that he wanted to give him a bath right away because he has fleas. And wanted to feed him solely highly seasoned garlic chicken (from dinner leftovers) and laughed at me when I told him cats shouldn't eat garlic (of course I didn't let him feed the kitten any bullshit).
Also he doesn't believe kitten formula is real (or needed for newborn kittens). When he heard me ask the vet if I should be getting some kitten formula my in law was literally baffled as if I was crazy.
The kitten is in a warm room and has eaten a bit and drank plenty of water but he hasn't peed (nor pooped) at all in at least 8 hours and is very lethargic.
I know it sounds dumb but i'm beyond heartbroken for the suffering this tiny creature has gone through and I want it to survive and give it the absolute best life a cat can have.

So I went to a meetup yesterday and it sort of reinforced my feelings that I'm missing something fundamental that everyone else has. It's not even one thing, its several things. Normal people have motivation, goals, a desire to live and and I'm jut sort of….a bag of skin and organs without a personality that just sort of…exists?? floats through life?? Additionally, all the other people had a lot to say, whereas whenever I opened up my mouth to speak, the words came out all jumbled and my voice was all strained and weak and I got the usual 'speak up please, we can't hear you' thing that all introverts are familiar with. Also it made me realize how…unconsciously I live life, it makes sense? Like all these people had reasons to do all kinds of things and I just do things because…I don't know. I just do things. I guess I need to reflect more?
It's funny because for the longest time I believed that the only deficit I have is my lack of social skills but this meeting realized that I lack much more than that. Motivation, warmth, liveliness, optimism, God knows what more. This is a truly retarded metaphor but it felt like I was Pinocchio surrounded by real, actual, flesh humans and I just want to become like them, I just don't know fucking howwww

So I'm working on myself, so I don't feel awkward around others. As I said I too have been in a rut and it's completely sapped my motivation.

I’m thinking of leaving that meme site. The users there have pushed way too many buttons and I don’t want to co-exist with people who dismiss the idea that women are just exaggerating their experiences on catcalling and harassment.

I’ve been doing it for Twitter and I’m doing the same for that site.

I'm growing more distant from my bf and as I do it, I can see just how bullshit it is.

So he made a mistake. Not a huge deal (it's just some timekeeping issues on his part), but he's made the same one a few times and the resolution is it was on me to make sure he does the thing because I'm the one who cares about it. OK. So this time I DO X thing, I give him the reminder and the mistake still happens, so I'm annoyed as I was before and I calmly (and I mean it!) explain why I'm annoyed.

His reaction? I should do Y thing on top of that to make sure. It's not a big deal to do Y, so why am I upset? I tell him he could be more considerate and try not actually make the mistake and his reaction is HE WALKS AWAY.

At this point like I said, I'm more distant so I don't chase as I used to, it's a predictable response. I wait and he comes back, tells me it's not fair on him and why is it so hard to just do Y.

Cue me trying to explain I shouldn't go 100% to manage his mistakes and he's SO ANGRY, like he's literally shaking in anger and I'm just confused tbh. What have I done to be the target of such strong emotions? I just asked him to be more mindful. He storms off AGAIN and I'm asking him to come back to talk it through (I haven't raised my voice, I let him speak and didn't interrupt so I didn't antagonise him further) and he's shouting "NO" over and over while walking off.

At this point I'm really confused as to why he's so fucking mad. I wait a bit and approach, ask him why he's so so angry and let him know I just want him to put thought into fixing frequent mistakes instead of blaming me. He goes into all of this hyperbole and yelling eg. "so I'm supposed to never make a mistake again then?" "if you know what I should do to fix it why don't you just tell me?" "this is bullshit it was a small thing" etc etc.

It's just stunning to me because it feels like he blew what could've just been "you're right, I'll try be more mindful" into a full on meltdown when all I could've done to aggravate it is hold my stance that he should make an effort not to make that mistake. And when I cared more I used to be super upset that he'd walk away and chase him and explain my (what I think is reasonable) viewpoint while he uses reductive arguments like I stated above and I'm trying to bat them away while restating my core point until I'm so emotionally exhausted I take an "I'm sorry your feelings were hurt" and move on.

But this time I had more emotional resilience because I didn't chase, and I was surprised to see such unbridled anger as his defence mechanism when the usual didn't work. IDK I always thought I was too emotional and sensitive even if my points were valid, but his reaction this time has me rethinking it. I mean hell even if my request was unreasonable, his reaction still would've been super weird today.

And I want to add that through him getting madder he never once acknowledged that he could take some responsibility and try not make the mistake. He maintained with asking if I expect him to never make a mistake, me doing Y isn't much bother etc. And I'd say like "yeah doing Y isn't much bother but also…you could do something?".

It was a bit scary because his face was all scrunched up, hands balled up into fists, I could see the muscles on his arms flexed, he was talking through his teeth. And in my head I was like "whoa, chill".

venting here because idk that was such a stupid, thoughtless reaction on his part.

>>626920
Yeah, I'm applying like mad for well paying positions to live on my own atm. Until then it's something to put in the back of my mind. It's just the difference in reaction when I wasn't desperately clinging to his distancing was eye opening.

this is exactly what i was getting at. the shooting WAS traumatic and awful. but i can also question why did he need to lie to himself and to others about what happened? it doesn’t matter if it was a social media post or word of mouth through our friends, it’s the simple fact that he’s purposefully skewing the story to fit his “so smart the government is out to kill me” self-made narrative when he was actually just caught in the middle of a hood shooting.

>I have to feel content with myself
Yes! I've come to the same conclusion, I have to change a lot of beliefs that I have about myself and life. Especially unlearning learned helplessness. I've always had this very passive attitude to life - university, friendships, jobs - they all just sort of happened to me. I have to force myself to believe that I'm an active participant in my own life. I also have become unemployed recently (today, actually) so I really have to get my shit together
>I'm like, what's the point?
I relate to this soo hard. I felt like an alien listening to other people during the meetup listing things on their bucket list, wanting to do this and that and I was thinking the same…what's the point. I think we have to force ourselves to believe that life is meaningful. I actually just realized that the passivity might actively reinforce the idea that life is meaningless…how could I value something that just happens and I don't feel like I control it?
I think we should take baby steps out of our comfort zone to gain momentum and then do the big, difficult steps. Good luck to you anon!

It's terrible to grow up being gaslit by a parent in your life, only to find out later that the reason why your life played out as it did is because one parent made the wrong choices, and the other was a piece of shit. There's empathy to go around there, but ultimately the child is the innocent one who didn't do shit to deserve that suffering so there's definitely accountability to go around as well.

I feel this, but then I also see that one of my parents (the abusive one) grew up being beaten by his parents and molested by a priest so I know that unhealthy parents just create an endless cycle of more unhealthy parents.

i think you'd find that many children of narcs feel broken in this way. your mom probably taught you a lot of unhealthy behaviors, but please don't lose hope! you recognize that it's affected you, and i think with some work (either alone or with a professional if/when you're ready) you can reduce those behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. the outcome doesn't have to be bleak.

No. 627011

I think what you're doing is noble if you really don't feel you're cut out for it given your upbringing. Yet I think the children raised by unhealthy parents can sometimes make the best parents granted they are self-aware of their upbringing and strive to be better than how they were raised. The problem becomes when adult children of unhealthy parents have the mentality like if they survived a shitty childhood, then that means they don't have to give their own children better cause they will turn out "fine" like they did.

I'm dead ass not saying this to make you feel better: Men will fuck and marry anyone. Stop treating male behavior as if it's a reflection upon yourself. It's not.

I know lolcow isn't the best because of the platitudes the resident teenagers and mental invalids say like being prettier will make men treat you better (LOL), but you would do well to realize that men have no fucking standards. They just want you to believe they do so you'll jump through hoops being the best version of yourself for them, meanwhile they can carry on with their unwashed asses and emotionally unavailable antics. Men treat you the way they do because they know they can get away with it as you mentally are now. Your low self-esteem and lack of confidence is like blood in the water to their shark asses. So start ghosting them. Tell them no. Make them chase you.

I agree with this theory. It's also not at all hard to become a K-12 teacher. The job is always in high demand and all you need to qualify is a bachelor's and a teaching credential you can earn in like 3 months. I have the "edgy" opinion that people in this field don't deserve the higher wages they're always whining and protesting about. You did the absolute bare minimum to get this job, why should you make more than someone who has a master's or higher in a specified field, and has spent years or even decades harnessing their skills? My mom actually makes quite a bit more than the average elementary school teacher and still has the gall to bitch to me that she somehow deserves more money.

A semester of student teaching and a huge and rigorous portfolio that costs 400 dollars to submit. This is the norm in most states within America today. It takes a lot to become a teacher today, I've seen my family members go through hell trying to get their license and honestly, in most states they are most definitely not being paid enough. Teachers who give even a morsel of a shit end up taking work home, coming to school early/staying later to go to bullshit meetings with parents/other teachers.

She told me a teenage boy had raped her, and then this boy's white trash family pulled up in a van along the street and started yelling at her from inside the vehicle, calling her a whore and a slut and all sorts of heinous shit. I'm not even joking, she must have been 7 at the youngest. They thought instead of dealing with their fucked up son that they should instead harass a little girl when no adults were around. I wish I could remember who the family was so I could look them up and maybe fuck with them a little. I'm just so disgusted.

A good friend of mine has a really dysfunctional family and her mental health is constantly in and out of the toilet because of it. Her mom in particular is a narcissistic piece of shit who has been manipulating her since she came out of the womb. None of us can convince her to cut ties with them, even though she knows that they're awful people and will probably never change. I'm just so frustrated watching her suffer like this and I don't understand what it is that keeps her so loyal to them. They treat her horribly. It makes me fucking sick.

I feel bad because earlier a drinking glass fell off the counter and broke, I thought I swept and vacuumed all the glass but I got a text later in the day that there was blood on the floor. There was no one around besides the two cats, and I didn’t have any cuts so one of them might have gotten cut by a shard. They were both acting normal when I got back from work but the blood was definitely paw print shaped

Nta but I stumbled across a scene in which all the girls are performing on a stage for their families? With clothes that barely cover them and twerking… I know the documentary is to actually spark the conversation on the sexualization of kids but doing it by sexualizing kids it's clearly not it.

A british lesbian Moira main who had an amazing sense of humor and I loved playing w her, sucks how our whole group got disbanded bc people got bored of playing;
A nice hitscan main that I met through steam recently from other EU country, she is a super sweet lady.

I remember the other day I had to encounter a 27yo Mercy main who would keep failing but still trying to have a high pitched voice and pretend to be all fragile, and whenever I'd say something she would for some odd reason sound even louder and make her pitch higher.

Honestly, out of desperation I even tried looking on 4chan to play, but OW /vg/ thread is nothing but people talking about how much they want to fuck x character and other waifuposting.

I'm studying and there's about forty or something people in my course (all women, so I was hopeful that I could make some friends!). They made a group chat at the start of the year I guess, and someone added it to me today. I was already like wtf they had a group this whole time without me, but then I opened it and saw that just before I was added to the chat, a bunch of girls had removed messages. You know how you can 'unsend' on messenger? They did that. I feel like they were saying something mean about me or why else would they delete it? I asked and they said they had accidentally sent a message to the wrong group chat. What, all five of you did??

To be 100% honest, I regret not killing myself when I was younger. I never thought I'd live to be 18, now I'm 25 and my life might not be the worst but it still sucks, simply due to lack of money, location and social circle.

I can't fix most of these no matter how hard. My family lives slightly above poverty and there's always some stupid shit around the house that needs to be fixed etc and my parents are really immature so I have to take care of everything. I almost had enough money to get a car but had to give it all away to get the roof fixed because it was rotting and wouldn't hold for another year. I'm broke again. I can't find a better job ot education due location and lack of transport. I can't go and be a full time student because my parents need me to help them out financially. A lwa is or will be passed to allow employers to employ more immigrants to work so student jobs will suffer.

I'm trying to kind of learn programming and maybe try to get a certificate for it or some shit but fuck I don't feel like it's worth it at all. I have to suffer and slave away to be bearly able to survive. What's the fucking point?

Give me strength today, anons. I have been dreading this day all week. I have to work with this absolute creepy annoying fat fucking scrote. I don't tend to use scrote, but this useless fuck is the definition of scrote. The job is overseeing inmates doing their work. (Get paid very good money to walk around and sit). Day one and the first thing he does in complain about the job, how his old one was worse and how lazy and fat his wife is. Day two was him complaining about how he didn't have keys to things (even though he was told how to get them). Day 3 was him mad that he had to work a second shift and then a first shift the next day, even though he offered. When told, "hey just tell the boss, they will change things for you".. "oh no the schedule is set we can't change it, it's the bosses mess up not mine". Day 4 began the touching. Grabbing the arm or touching the shoulder to get your attention. Never the male employees , just the women.
An absolute cringe moment was when and inmate asked for tape. One of our employees said, "sure but don't cut yourself on the dispenser, I don't want to get a murder charge" after the inmate left she said, omg, I forgot he's in here for murdering his girlfriend.. Fat fuck said "oh I'm sure she deserved it".
I legit hate this piece of shit and I want him to quit, he just works there to try to get management experience, but he will never get the office job. There's too many very competent women ahead of him (and yes he has remarked how he should go ahead of them because women won't be taken seriously by anyone in a prison setting).

Hey everyone I've got a vent today. My main relationships both involved physical violence and I come from a domestic violence household so it's like a thing, yay. Anyway, no one takes abuse victims seriously! Ever!

When I left my fiancé for being an abusive violent cunt after having extremely visible cuts and bruises from one particular event. Usually I could hide or call in sick if something happened but he got me one lunchtime and I couldn't hide it. Anyway, no one ever tried to comfort me apart from my mum who abused me growing up lol. Nice!

The next person I dated took a few years before settling into being a father figure to me because he would like to laud over me my own absent father. He would speak to me like a child and scream and hit me to correct behaviour. He had done to the point that I put up with it for several years while I tried to focus on my degree. To hide my abuse I was withdrawn and barely social. I got two degrees but no relationships or professional connections due to being a constant anxious mess and hiding my personal issues from everyone. However I did break down to the student councillors about my grandma passing away and fucking up an exam because she passed the night before and I was too stressed to tell anyone. I had no one for years to confide in. I still don't but I'm hopeful. The thing is time heals and I haven't been completely destroyed I do feel I'm crawling out. And I want to explain why I finally did. My exes sisters have been running me down. I would be at my exes and they would phone him and he'd mention I was there and you could just hear the disdain in their voices. My ex is a joke. I didn't realise but his addiction issues aren't taken seriously by anyone either. Which is sad but I don't want to feel sympathy after everything that we've been through. I remember asking him why his sisters disliked me so much, didn't they know what I had to put up with him? And apparently since I stick around I deserve all that gets given to me. A broken nose. Not that they know. They're brother only tells them specifics about what I've done. Never anything about what I've had to do in defence. Yet they know enough about their own brother to know he's not nice and that by association I must be awful. I would never be taken serious by anyone staying with that man. My own family already dislike me over it. They're still there for me but I know what they think. And it's annoying. I try to look for the good in others. I feel bad for the underdogs because I always felt like one growing up. I don't know if I have a victim complex but whatever it is no one takes me seriously that knows me. And I'm too anxious to form new relationships because I don't know how to explain the last couple of years. I can barely take myself serious it's an issue.

The one that we both individually voluntarily chose not to see anymore TWO TIMES IN OUR LIVES because he’s selfish and lies like a natural.

After a while they came over to where we were swimming and just started outright taking pictures of us in our bathing suits and shit, telling us to smile, and even at my age I felt like something was wrong, so I gathered my cousins up and we walked home. I tried telling my parents about it by they never seemed to listen, so here I am in my 20's and wondering if there are any pictures of my cousins and I floating around the bad parts of the internet, and it's the kind of thought that eats away at me when I'm trying to sleep. Sorry for stupid vent

The first houseshare I ever lived in at 19, my almost 30 year old male housemate came out to me as a crossdresser and wanted me to play with him behind his gfs back.. dude acted normal for the first year and suddenly hit me with that shit. I've had one male housemate (out of 4) that didn't try to fuck me.

Why the fuck is it that every year there's a new "blonde" trend (i.e. dishwater blonde, hazelnut blonde, peach blonde, fire blonde, and this year I guess creamy blonde, etc) but it's always the same freaking shade of blonde? I've seen about 20 different variations of the yearly blonde trend and it's always the same shade of yellow-toned dirty blonde balayage and it's pissing me off.

Am I the only one who thinks these supposed haircolor trends are rarely actually trends? Like the last actual haircolor trends I remember were Kylie Jenner-blue, silver, balayage and ombre. But whenever I see some article talking about the new hairtrend of the season and it's like ashblonde or light brown or something I never really see lots of people jumping on that "trend"? It's like they're just making up trends. It reminds me of those articles on Vogue and such that say these ugly eyebrows were a trend, but they never were.

I get nostalgia about weird things I guess, but I miss walking around my university campus during fall so much. right at the beginning of fall, when that first chill is in the air and everything has just started turning yellow. I miss walking across the skybridge, walking through the halls and past the coffee shops and snack bars, overhearing people's conversations, walking through the sports building past people playing basketball. it always felt so… alive. I have no friends and being there made me feel less alone, like I was part of something.

now because of covid, most of campus is closed off. everything is online now. I still go to the library, but it's depressing now and I have to wear a mask the whole time. the world feels so cold and empty now. I want things to go back to normal so bad. I don't know if they ever will.

I finally found a therapist who believes me that my ex abused me and gave me the number of an abuse support group, but I feel fucking terrified to talk to anyone about it now. Like I feel someone is going to call me out and be like, that isn't real abuse, he didn't actually do anything that bad, or even accuse me of being the abusive one and in denial about it. He was only emotionally abusive and it was so subtle and built up over time that I didn't even consider I had been abused until after things ended. He might have financially abused me too but tbh I don't even know for sure. It's so hard to actually put into words what he did and I just get super tongue-tied and extremely anxious whenever I try to talk to anyone about it. I couldn't even tell my current bf what happened for a long time.

I think I finally understand how my boyfriend must feel when I talk to him about cows. (Heather Explains is my personal favorite because I've met so many people just like her) Yesterday he told me about some "runescape drama" that he's knee-deep in because of discord, and internally I was like, you're retarded for getting involved with any of them in the first place. Fucking runescape discord of all things.

Then I felt a little hypocritical because even though I'm not interacting with cows or personally involved, the enjoyment is probably the same. Even sadder is that one of his runescape friends hinted at being a pulll-tard and I was like, omg please talk to me about cows!!!!

My dad attempted suicide yesterday and im having the worst emotional up and downs, I have no one to talk to about this since its such a delicate subject, im bored out of my mind and cant distract myself with mundane shit, everything fucking sucks at the moment.

He can't be left alone by the looks of it and my mom is considering inviting him back home (they are divorced) but im not sure i want him back here, he's an alcoholic and actively destructive at the moment so my house is going to be more toxic than fucking chernobyl, that if he doesn't decide to paint the living room red.

Its not that I don't care about my dad but he's so unstable and doesn't want to seek help, he should be in the hospital, a doctor and nurses should handle this situation, but he doesn't fucking want to, and we can't section him since he's functional enough to still go to work.

Cut the cord and give him an ultimatum. That does not make you a bad daughter, it makes you a loving one.

Tell him he needs to get help, and that you'll be there for him throughout and when he gets out; but that you can't enable his alcoholism or instability.

My dad is more of weird drunk (he just bursts crying and stays put on a chair babbling emotional nonsense about how he's done for) than violent so he's not a danger to us if we end up having to taking him in, at the moment his friend and i kid you not our INSURANCE BROKER (who is a family friend but still fucking weird) are taking turns on watching him at his own house.

Just finished my first month at my new job and I don’t know how I feel. My boss is an old dude who is pretty rich and lives a luxurious lifestyle (which he is not very humble about) but also is super rude to waitresses, doormen etc… He’s said strange pervy things about women a decent number of times and has made comments about how I looked good a couple times (even mentioned it in my interview). He’s offered to give me rides to places in and out of office hours which I find kind but also am not sure if I’m just overreacting. My other coworker is a middle aged loser but super hilarious. He also has a gf and three kids and still acts like a party animal would in their twenties, it’s kinda worrying. He talks about not liking his gf quite a lot and made jokes about how I’m attractive a few times. Today, he got drunk and started ragging on my boyfriend (which he does often) for being boring and said “see if you were with me” and then quickly said “uh wait, sounds weird” and I just said yeah. Then I had to go get my laptop for work and he said “if I’ve sent you anything weird, delete it.”. Then he made a joke about having me sat on his lap later when he was more drunk. I find this guy funny but I am not into him at all and am happy with my boyfriend but I just don’t even know how to navigate situations like these. Our office is really small and they’re both my superiors and it seems to be a super male dominated field where this stuff is normal. God, this is why women hate working in IT.

That's really strange if you're a new employee that's much youger than them, do these guys have no decency?

I'm in engineering/physics an it's my first job, so I don't know if it's because there are more women in that field in general, or people expect more professionalism than IT or if I just got lucky. But I think that now I'll have a harder time accepting that kind of bullshit in other jobs.

the most likely option i'll have is taking ubers/lyfts there & likely back as well, which i think puts me, my coworkers, and my parents who i live with (they're already health care workers) at super unnecessary risk + it will be unnecessarily costly. i know i have to do some sort of in person "training" on the first day back but should i bother trying to negotiate continued remote work after i've been sufficiently trained in person or whatever for these reasons?

I posted about my sick cat a while back. She's still not better. My vet doesn't know what's wrong with her, everything seems to be completely fine according to all the tests they did to her.
She hasn't eaten in almost a week now. She had an IV drip put in yesterday so at least she's hydrated now. I force feed nutriplus to her (a paste that's high-calorie and filled with everything that a cat needs) but that's all she eats. She doesn't even sleep, she just kinda sits in one place and drools because she feels so nauseous. She got like three different meds to treat her nausea and lack of appetite but giving them to her is a nightmare and I feel so bad forcing pills down her throat when she's already weak and sick.
If she doesn't get better within the next few days I'm gonna have to put her down. I'm weirdly not that sad about the thought of her passing away, I'm way sadder about seeing her suffer. I don't want to make any rash decisions but it feels more humane to put her down sooner rather than later if her health just keeps declining.

I think I may be slightly paranoid? I don't know how much of it is influenced by my mother, who imo is as well. I do sometimes people are judging me or are doing things to trick me, so to speak, into depending on them or liking them. Not all of them though.
I only considered it because while talking to my shrink dad about one occasion he told me to lay it off, lmao. It's obviously not life damaging but idk.

Thank you anon, that means a lot to me.

I cut my arm really badly a while back and I wasn't taking care of it because I was unwell. I thought it was going to kill me but it didn't.
It's healed now but it healed really fucking weird, the scar makes my arm look like it's got something really tight around it, and my arm bulges around the scar. I've lost sensation in a good part of my left arm and hand now too because of it. Why do I do this shit to myself? I am going to regret this for the rest of my fucking life

I think scars looking tight is normal but the bulging and loss of sensation sounds bad. Better be safe than sorry, ya'know? Update us on how you're doing in a few days anon.

Plot twist, this asshole left his comfy job to go back to university, he just finished his own internship and the company that hired him didn't want to keep him and replaced him with someone else for a permanent contract and a really nice salary. The interviews to replace him took place literally when he was cleaning his desk. He formally quit his previous job so he can't claim get any unemployment benefit and he'll have a hard time finding a new job given the current situation.

My mother disowned me on Tuesday night after I tried, as gently as possible, to broach the subject of the CSA she allowed me to be subjected to for the most formative years of my life (3-9) because she needed to bankroll my ex-stepfather. I wrote her a letter that I tucked inside a copy of an anthology called What My Mother and I Don't Talk About. I hid it in her room just before I left. My boyfriend met her that weekend and told me as soon as we were down the road upon leaving that she's insanely toxic and I don't see it, and please don't move in with her when my lease is up in March until his is up in August and then we can truly be together. I brushed him off. That was Monday afternoon.

Tuesday night, I had all my closest girlfriends over. We were drinking wine and I'm a lightweight so I was drunk by 2 glasses in. My roommate pulled me aside and tried to tell me I'm manic – but that didn't make sense to me as I'm not diagnosed bipolar, just an extremely mild case of "quiet" BPD that I've got under wraps. Now I know that she was right. I'd gotten home at 8 AM on Tuesday and hadn't slept more than two hours; I did not sleep and barely slept the rest of the day, and then I invited my friends over and was having a great time. Then my mom tried calling. My phone was in the other room. I'd grabbed it and on my way out the back door, a sliding glass one, I received these texts from her, "You were already found guilty of lying. Why do you continue the facade. I don't get it. Just stop with the drama queen bullshit. As a true victim, it's infuriating. And another thing. U want to accuse me of not protecting you? Are u fucking kidding me? That's all I've ever done since the day you were born. I went hungry for you but you never knew it. I fought the doctors when u were in the NICU (I was born at 21 weeks), because you had no one but me. U think I'm a shitty mom? Let's see you do better. I was so excited for your future, the plans u had made, and was so proud! Now I'm just super sad and disappointed. Wish the best for you and [bf] though. I really do." And then, twenty minutes later, "I'd be very careful about what you choose to post and share online. I am not playing with you."

So I would up having the worst breakdown of my entire life right there by the back door, for all my friends and roommate to witness. My hand is bruised from punching the wall so many times. I cried my throat raw. I couldn't stand up my friends came in one-by-one. They are all women. The strongest one carried me to the bathtub; my roommate fed me a lemon bar to calm me down. Then I flipped like a switch. I had never been so enraged in my entire life. I broke my other roommate's shower caddy on accident from slapping the water and screaming me throat raw again, right in my roommate's face, saying my mother won't get away with this and I'll kill her, I know how to.

And I am. She's a golddigger to her core. She just married a richie-rich man that she "dated" a decade ago; she was his mistress. He was about to put her name on all his assets before I made my long post dismantling her entire bullshit narrative. She's a pathological liar who's told herself these things so often over the past twenty-two years that she believes them. It's sad. In her voicemail to me, she says that I'm going to listen to what she had to say. She's tired me and my "MeToo movement bullshit" and that I've "accused every man [she's] ever been with of this shit, [and] not every man wants to fuck [me]," (funny, because she thinks so – just the wrong ones) and that "the offer for [me] to live with her and [money bags] is revoked. [She] can't even trust [me] around him! [She's] done."

Due to her being a grade-a narcissist, the only way she will listen to me if she is publicly humiliated. I did just that the very next day. I started it off with how she's being so vicious because she's terrified of me ruining her life in an instant, and I did it. She was cheating on Money Bags two days before their wedding with my pedophile ex-stepfather. They were sexting all night. She told me this as a conversation-starter at 10 AM on day. I told her to never mention him to me again and she tried to play dumb. I then detailed how she knew what was going on in that house, right under her nose, in the early hours of the morning when [stepfather] "had" to get up for work at 3 AM. She knew because CPS was called to the house by both my father, grandmother, and school thrice in those six years. The social worker is legally required to tell you why they're there. She'd always fly into a fit of rage following their visits, convinced that this was my father's "vendetta" against her and that he was trying to "steal" me away from her like his mother had supposedly done my sister.

She never visited me in the NICU. That's why there's only a single photo of her holding me in the hospital, on the day I was born. My father is a maintenance man. He would get up before dawn, grab his work partner, and go to the NICU to spend hours with me before his workday every single day I was in there. Every. Single. Day. For eight months. He would have to beg her to come with him, and she hardly ever did.

She was not the only one who ever wanted me. My father wanted me from the day she took me, and even more so once the sexual abuse I was enduring was made painfully obvious by me chronically masturbating by the age of four. But we live in a state where custody is always given to the mother no matter what. He was forced to wait until I was eleven years old to obtain custody of me, as that's the legal minimum for a child to choose which parent they want to live with. When I called her the night I moved out to thank her for letting me go, she was celebrating. She was drinking with Money Bags.

She never raised me a day in her life. She's a drunkorexic and would never cook. I remember being eight years old and having to ask her what she ate that day while she nursed a beer and there was a big pot of spaghetti on the stove. I had to go through every meal with her. She didn't eat a single thing. But sure, she "went hungry for me." She never cleaned; she smoked in the house so heavily that I would smell like something smoldering when I went to school or to my father's. He would always immediately change my clothes and wash what I'd arrived in twice on his weekends.

Her "true survivor" statement? Bullshit. She was sent to live with her father when she was fourteen or fifteen and told my father that she had slept with him. Willingly. When she was eighteen, she moved back down to FL so she could continue sleeping with him. I told her as such in my last ever message to her, saying, "You cannot survive something you went into willingly. We know you fucked your father for years as a teen. When I was told this, I vomited. I've always known you were disgusting, but I never knew you were this much of a backwoods, redneck, Floridian woman white-trash whore."

She wants to watch me be a better mother than her? I told her, "You can watch me – but from afar. You are never meeting your grandbabies. I won't allow it. And you will never see me, or hear from me again. Be a better mother than you? As if it's fucking hard to not allow pedophiles around your daughter. In fact, that's the bare minimum and you couldn't even do that. You were never a mother. You weren't even meant to be one – in all your pregnancies, your placenta tore away from child. If you had even an ounce of introspective skills, you'd know that those were signs. If ever I even had an inkling that a man was touching my daughter, I'd peel his skin from his member like a potato, broil it, forcibly cannibalize him, and then burn him alive. But you sleep next to one for years. You get pregnant with his children and abort them because you know what the fuck he is deep down. You drew the line at blood incest but cared not what he did to me because you had to bankroll him."

Then she had her flying monkey come for me. When that didn't work, the stupid little monkey tried calling my father and saying the same shit she'd said to me. He laughed at her. He said, "Are you serious?! Do you forget that I am her father? I was there!" And hung up. He told me the flying monkey said my mother wants to have me arrested for giving him and my ride-or-die cousin her address. I just want my $300 boots I forgot there back but I know she's thrown them in the lake or the smoker. My boyfriend immediately said he'll buy me a new pair. And anyway, she can't have me arrested for jack shit. She gets all her legal knowledge from Law & Order, forgetting I'm a paralegal. Her husband's address is public record. She is grasping at straws for any way to claw her way out of this, but there is none.

She will die in a few months once her husband divorces her. She married him for the healthcare. She has self-diagnosed COPD and diabetes. I told her I will dance and piss on her grave because that's all she deserves. I told her I will make it a habit of searching her name + "obituary" once a week so see if she's done us all that favor yet, as she offers absolutely nothing to this earth as an entirely self-aggrandizing, lazy, morally indefensible leech.

I am going to be so relieved once she finally fucking dies, my new therapist would probably throw a Zoom party for me.

Nta but you just saw the magic words BPD and got triggered. I mean, in a breakdown in front of other people it's obvious they would help her out if she was their friend. By her account, she lives with roommates and might move in with her SO soon, how is that forcing other people to take care of her?
Yes, she's kind off the rocker and very impassioned but I can understand to some extent. Obviously her mom has issues too, and she is a vict1m to her pedophile father and it would fuck up any person and she is evidently troubled, and her account of things might be different but it doesn't mean anon can't vent out her frustrations.

Your mom being a narcissistic piece of shit and you being affected by mania due to the shit she put you through aren't mutually exclusive, those both can be true at the same time.
I think it's a blessing in disguise that your relationship with your mom is done. It's not wrong to want revenge, and it is hard knowing you might never get that last word or blow that will make her feel as worse as you've felt for years, but this is good. She's toxic. She adds nothing positive to your life. Look at what her presence in your life is doing to you. You'll feel better once you put her behind yourself, and your therapist will know how you can train your brain to emotionally distance and not think about her and her drama anymore. Clearly your mother is a troubled person, but it's not your job to psychoanalyse why her upbringing caused her to treat you the way she did. All that matters is that she failed, and now you need to move on so you can have a happy life despite her.

Put that mental energy into a bottle and use it for yourself.

I sincerely hope you overcome all the hatred you've accumulated over the years of being subjected to that abuse. Your mother is broken and I dare say by this point a lost cause due to her upbringing. You sound young, I know it doesn't seem like it now, but despite the trauma you've suffered you can focus on living your life as best you can.

My sister in law was subjected to paternal sex abuse and the raising of her siblings when her mother died fell to her as the eldest. She endured all that pain to protect them from the monster that was her biological father. Despite the horrors of her childhood she's one of the strongest, kindest women I know. There's nothing she wouldn't do for her children who are now growing up happy and healthy because she did not allow her trauma to colour her future.

I know the pain is immeasurable, no one is perfect either (you can't be strong all the time), but this could be you if it's what you truly desire. I'm sure the scars will always remain but they can be bitter memories stifled by the overwhelming love and compassion you show people around you, and your future family. I understand you're upset right now anon but do your best to love, forgive although they definitely don't deserve it (I'm not suggesting staying in contact), and strive to move forward and let go of the past. This kind of hate will only weigh on your heart and eventually swallow you like it has your mother.

You were dealt an awful hand, but you still have power over your life. For the sake of yourself, and the next generation, break the vicious cycle and be an example to other survivors and to your future children. I believe in you anon, you've come this far. Don't let your past hold you down any longer. The love and kindness you have to offer the world is so much stronger than any evil done unto you.

Sorry for the sperg, this hit kind of close to home.

I think my mom is actually going insane. I dropped a cup in front of her and she got so mad she kicked it and went off on me. She started insulting everything I do, even about me masturbating. Then, she proceeds to call me crazy when I literally don’t talk to her and try to keep my interactions with her at a minimum.

Anons help, it's past midnight and I'm sitting outside and don't know what to do

My boyfriend of 2 years knows I'm very scarred by being cheated on in the past,he swears he would never do anything; I was just about go to sleep, went to the wardrobe to pick up some tshirt and what I found is clearly used woman tshirt. There's no way he'd get it "by accident" and not notice, it would never fit him anyway, obviously it's not mine, he says he has no idea; what should I do, what should I even think

ask him to unlock his phone so you can look at his private messages and call history.

Weird question but does it smell worn? Such a tough situation, I really don’t know. How is his body language? Try to put him under some pressure by asking him again and again if he really doesn’t know where the t-shirt came from, look him in the eyes, watch his body language.

I have and always had full access to his phone, but so I had to my cheating ex's phone and he managed to keep things concealed for months before I realized, that's why I don't trust this method anymore and it will not make me feel less paranoid this is a nightmare, it can be really nothing maybe but if it's something I'll be letting myself overlook a cliche as obvious as misplaced women's clothing like the biggest dumbass??

Yes, at least some of them. Most of the actually talented ones are professionals though so they just get to sit drawing all day because that's literally their job.

You need to take some time away from him, think about this, see how he reacts and if his explanation seems genuine.

I'm tired of my neighbors. I don't really talk to them because they want to talk to my boyfriend. They're mostly boomers who talk for hours and use him to fix all their stuff like their lawnmowers. Idc if he makes some money off boomers but jesus christ give me some privacy in my own backyard. Neighbor on one side sees us messing with the chickens and decides to four wheeler on over after he was watching us through the treeline. Last week another neighbor down the road showed up with his whole family and took a good look at all the stuff in our garage and garden. I swear anytime we're out there the other neighbor nextdoor is using his tractor on the property line waiting to get a chance to get my boyfriend to blab his ear off. Plus he's constantly calling him to get my boyfriend to do more stuff for him and his friends. I don't even feel comfortable being out there when he's out there on his tractor because I feel like I'm being watched. The absolute worst part is how nosey they are and tell everyone everything about us. I don't want the whole neighborhood to know all the food I grow or know what I have in my garage or the things in my house. I'm a private person and maybe a tad paranoid right now with the state of the world. They expect my boyfriend to do things for them every weekend, who knows what they'll expect from us if something bad happens. I wouldn't mind it so much if they put in equal effort but they don't. The stuff they've given us is useless and random items from their garage hoarde. They don't listen to any advice my boyfriend has given them, like they refuse to fix simple things my boyfriend told them how to do. I don't want entitled and lazy boomers in my yard anymore damnit.

My boyfriend got into an absolute rage fit at me because I quit a video game we play together because I got disconnected from the server TWICE after expending a ton of ammo doing events to not get any reward. He called me SELFISH even though I told him I was quitting, literally went and took a shower, & when I came BACK he joined another event in game and burned all his ammo & had a terrible time. I’m selfish. Even though I’ve kept my mouth shut about him wanting to buy another motorcycle even though he just bought one a month ago and it’s already broken down. I’m selfish because I sit by and let him waste money when we’ve been together 3 years and he knows how badly I want to get married. I just feel like such fucking shit. I told him I’m moving back in with my mom & packed my shit up but I have literally nothing, not even a bed, at my mother’s. I feel so trapped.

I've decided to go back to my own place even though we planned this weekend together and it was a bit long trip to make in the middle of a night. There's no explanation still, I'm not discounting a slim chance it really was some weird and unlikely mixup during a picnic activity or something (we do paintball and stuff, people change clothes, it's highly unlikely someone would leave their stuff lying around but it's not completely impossible).

>he didnt answer until yesterday even tho he has been on fb a lot . And of course his profile pic changed to one of him and his wife.
Gotta agree the timing is pretty cringy, but it's easy to say "I would never be jealous!" if you never went through any relationship trauma. You didn't talk with this guy for a long time, you don't know what's going on in his life, what if he'd just cheated on his wife with an old friend or something?

I want to do something with my life & I'm considering a lot of entrepreneurial ideas because I have the means & don’t want to be a wage slave my whole life. My boyfriend is older than me & has been in a deadend job for years, has no true aspirations & while he very lightly is supportive of my ideas, I can see that they don’t coaling with whatever he thinks is ideal.

I tried a very light level 1 dirty talk in the bedroom and my bf just laughed and said it was cute. I can read him like an open book and what he was trying to say without offending me was 'I appreciate you trying but go on and it'll probably become too awkward to continue'.
Why is it so hot in the imagined scenarios in my head but so cringey when I actually say it out loud? Fml I was just trying to spice things up a little. To be honest, being a thirsty dominatrix doesn't fit my personality like, at all, so I don't blame him. Didn't matter in the end but it kinda bothers me I can only live up this fantasy in my mind.

I find myself ugly, with no future, am in relatively ok pain situation but can only focus on how awful it is, not gonna get better. All around in some bad place and usually I would just be gentle with myself but I am too tired for that, I just fucking hope I can keep myself from just sleeping the days away because it never helps and the depression will pass eventually.

I'm really into fashion, and keep buying new outfits/clothes (not excessively, it's just what I choose to spend my extra money on)

I looked into my closet today and just started crying. I have all these nice clothes , but nowhere to go or anyone to hang out with in them. I never get to wear them because I work from home now and I have close to 0 friends. Outside of the family I live with, my relatives aren't really the close kind that hangs out regularly.

It sounds ridiculous to cry over not being able to wear clothes, but it goes beyond that for me. It's the idea that I feel like I'm not living life and enjoying my youth. Just sucks, and I don't know how my life led me to this lonely point.

I feel you. As soon as covid restrictions ease up I'm taking myself on day trips and finding some activities/outings so I have an excuse to wear my cute clothes and get out of the house. Doing it with friends would be nice but I can still enjoy myself on my own, and feeling cute while out and about is a reward in itself.

Adding on a semi related rant of my own - I've been losing weight which is good, but that means a lot of my clothes are fitting worse. Some are old favs and some are new and unworn because of covid. It sucks, I need to get wear out of them while I can but I have no reason to while WFH.

I got a call today from my grandma that my abusive mom had a fall and now has a severely broken back. Im currently living across the country so I can't really do anything (and with covid even if I was there i probably couldnt visit her in the hospital anyway) aside from sit with my feelings. I'm really conflicted because she put me through some awful things for most of my childhood but I always have had a extremely strong sense of pity for her. She's been in poor health even before this and now i'm starting to get overwhelmed with the feelings that she could die soon. Either from her health getting worse and worse or she offs herself because she has pretty extreme BPD.
I'm also kind of upset that no one aside from my grandmother bothered to tell me that my mom is in the hospital. My dad is the one that took her and he hasn't said a peep to me.
So, anons who have had abusive family members die or be severely injured how did you feel/react?

Man I really feel you here anon, I’m sorry you’re going through that. How did things leave off when you last spoke? Do you have a desire to make amends, or do you feel like it’s not worth trying anymore? Do you feel like you want to say goodbye?

I dealt with something similar last year with my grandma. My parents were abusive in a lot of ways and my grandma still took their side even though she knew I’d been sexually abused as a child. Really fucked me up and I felt like I just had to cut everyone off once I could. When my grandma got seriously ill, I still wanted to say goodbye and put my feelings about everything aside. I didn’t forgive her, but she was my grandma. It’s okay to let yourself mourn for imperfect people sometimes. It depends a lot on your feelings though. I’m sure you’ll make the right decision for yourself.

I'm angry, disappointed, and fatigued at a friend and I just realized that recently. Is there a good adjective that captures the essence of those adjectives? The friend doesn't try as hard to initiate, called me being followed by men anecdotal, and the apologies feel empty, like an "I'm sorry that you feel that way". I'm not expecting them to be a fucking dog where they're always receptive to my questions and answers and etc, but just some fucking semblance of effort on their part. I wrote a letter detailing all of how I felt because I know I'd become vicious and unnecessarily cutting if I were to relay it irl. However, I don't think the friend would do anything to change. Anyway. I'm just angry and disappointed. I honestly expected better.

Moving to uni in 2 days. I wish I could study at home since most of it is online, but my ISP is unreliable as fuck.

Scared about COVID, because a few students are already there in quarantine accommodation (they get everything provided to them for "free") and are apparently not following the rules and are mixing with other people to hangout. UK has more stringent gathering rules as of today and it's just insane to me that people are potentially risking their visa/uni place to do this and term hasn't even begun.

A lot of unis have moved their courses to start in January. Unironically believe this should've been mandatory for every course. Clearly we're still not prepared for this shit and cases are rising here again.

About the first friend. Ive known him for more than 10 years( met him online, never met irl tho and we have always flirted but thats it, one time he tried to meet me because he was in my country but I didnt have time, thats it). For what he has told me his wife might get jealous because she is from the same ethnicity that I am and women from our ethnicity are suuuuuper jealous. Its just disappointing that hes so pussy whipped now when he was a "free-spirit" before.

The "inspiring women over thirty" thread makes me want to kill myself. I'm only 21 and I look like absolute shit. I'll never have the money for all the surgeries and products those women have. I hate being ugly in a world that judges women so heavily for what they look like. How is buying all the shit necessary to look like you're 20 at 40 is an accomplishment? I just look at that and think about how beauty is yet another thing rich people are just handed.

I feel you, anon. To be fair, the thread didn't really specify what the theme was. I honestly think trying to look 20 at 40 is a waste of money and time, we should move forward as a society to accept signs of aging in women and not see them as it taking away from their beauty. I actually think wrinkles and grey hair look great on women. Besides, men don't put even half the effort into their appearance at the same age, yet society brainwashes us into thinking they "age like fine wine".
Also, you can just try to find a blind guy.

Girls, I am really upset.
I have those friends that I do not get to see that often - we used to work together until I moved to a different city. They were meant to visit me this weekend. We have discussed it on a Skype call and they seemed excited to come and I was really looking forward to seeing them. I have planned a fun day of museums and sightseeing.
They arrived very early in the morning and I went to pick them up and they were hangover and said that they would rather just sit at home and chill. That was the first thing that I felt sad about, because I thought if you made plans with someone you should not get drunk the day before? But j let it go cause I felt we could just have fun in the house, talking and stuff. They would not talk much and I would be the one carrying the conversation. I let that go too cause of their hangover. But we got home and they just sat down and would not speak. Moreover, they would TEXT EACH OTHER but not talk with me?? Even if I asked a question, I would be met with eye rolling or sighs? Like, trying to have a conversation with them was like pulling teeth. I felt as if hey viewed a visit to my house as torture or unpleasant responsibility.
There were two of them - for the sake of the story let's call them Rachel and Claire. Rachel was the one that was doing the eye rolling and sighing, while Claire was her sidekick just looking at Rachel whenever I would ask her a question, as if she was scared of losing her approval? Rachel would not speak and so Claire, being a chickwnshit, would not speak either.
I held back tears so many times cause at one point those girls were my best friends and their behaviour made me feel as if I was shit to them.
To be even more insulting, whenever my husband came down from his room, their whole attitude changed, they would joke with him and ask him questions. While not even noticing me and treating me like you would treat your mum at 13 years old.
They were also meant to stay overnight but made some excuse to leave the same day, just to make sure that I know they hated it with me.
Fuck me, anons, I thought I am over feeling hurt about friendships (I am in my 30s) but this situation made me feel so betrayed and disappointed. Pls offer support.
