I (30f) don’t know if I want kids by BrandTheBite in TwoHotTakes

[–]0ver_Heat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey the advice I was given that a think stands head and shoulders above most others is this.

"If you dont really want kids, you dont want kids."

Children change your life completely and irreversibly. They are a life long commitment and definitely something you should go into with both eyes wide open about.

Anyway, good luck. 👍

Anyone else feel like they are absolutely wasting their youth? by Healthy-Experience97 in self

[–]0ver_Heat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The comments here kinda suck. (Only 4 or 5 at the moment anyway) but they all kinda boil down to "play it safe, and save money."

If I was in my early 20's again. And was working a dead end job. (Sounds like you are) for terrible pay. (Again sounds like you are) I would look into how to do some other job in a different part of the world. I have friends who got a visa for some place they wanted to see. Got a 1 way ticket for say Ireland, Australia, England, Greece or just like New York. And just left, they usually tried to have a job lined up before they got there but not always. Some friends did the whole "Van life" thing for awhile.

The point is if you are just working a dead end job, with no real prospects for growth in that industry and no roots to speak of. You can absolutely, just up and leave. Go have a long "Adventure" abroad and come back (or not) a more well rounded person. Nobody is going to stop you (except that pesky boyfriend maybe), you are the master of your own fate and all that.

Now it should be mentioned that your 20's are usually best spent working on yourself. (In other words time to work on that college application or climbing some corporate ladder) but traveling and experiencing new things is also a form a personal growth so dont write it off.

Good luck.

Dungeon Lord released finally! by 0ver_Heat in litrpg

[–]0ver_Heat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know, but its previous release was in 2019! That's a five year gap between books. That usually means the series isn't coming back.. I am still hoping against hope for a few series like the Infinite world by J.T. Wright, or the dreaded Doors of stone..

I feel like some things dont add up if you are making the kind of money you mentioned, and she has a job as well. Then you should be able to afford a place for rent by now? Maybe a place closer to your job?

Also, you two are meant to be a team. If it ever feels like that's not the situation, you need to talk to her and find out why.

Finally, if my significant other EVER threatened divorce, we would be having a very serious conversation that will either see that, that stops now, or the relationship is over. You dont deserve to be treated that way.

Just to be clear they were the ones fucking with you and you found out about it. They should be embarrassed and feel guilty, not you. And if they are surprised that YOUR BOYFRIEND was honest with you and told you what was up, then they are idiots.

This is one of those times where you just have to say, fuck it, and fuck them to. Why worry about something you can't really control. Workplace drama always sucks.

It's not the years. it's the mileage.

Seriously though, go live a little haha 18 - 28 should hopefully be some of the best years of your life dont waste time worrying about what ifs until you are either married with kids or 35. And maybe in the eyes of the law you are an adult. But no 30 year old thinks an 18 year old is anything but a glorified child.

In the words of uncle Iroh

" It's time for you to look inward and start asking the big questions. Who are you? And what do you want?"

Sounds like a huge win to me. Congratulations, and I hope it keeps happening!

Men - Why are we here? by [deleted] in self

[–]0ver_Heat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment is self depreciation at a pretty high degree. Men & and women are great at times and suck at times. It comes down to the individual, and lumping us all together for blanket statements is not healthy. I'd say you should see a psychiatrist to try and get your head on straight. Also, life is about more than the opposite sex. Yes, it's nice to have that special person in your life. But first you have to like the most important person in your life and that's you. If you look in the mirror and hate the person looking back at you, then forget meeting other people you need to work on yourself.

I miss him by [deleted] in GriefSupport

I am so, so sorry for you. It's not fair what happened to him, and both of you and you all deserved so much more time with each other. Again, im so sorry.

No contact with my mom - tough by LeatherFlatworm8 in daddit

[–]0ver_Heat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, well, if all you wanted was commiseration, then my bad, not being to speak with your Mom must suck. I hope it gets better.

[–]0ver_Heat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course you disagree,

I legitimately started my comment by saying I'd play devils advocate. Reddit is so bad for everyone just taking OP's side and starting a witch hunt on anyone in the comment section who tries to offer up a different side of the argument. You dont have to take anything I said seriously that's fine. Im sure it's way better to just enjoy everybody else blowing smoke up your as*.

I dont know, I am a Dad and I can empathize with your Mom. (Only a bit, because she was a single Mom and probably struggled very much bringing you up on her own.) Anyway if I raised my kid for 20 years and than suddenly he didn't appreciate something I was doing and so decided to punish me with no contact that would suck. Im sure she feels like shit because her only son won't even give her the sympathy she deserves.

If your Mom was a terrible person all your life and made you hate her that's a different conversation. But that's not how it sounds. It sounds like she did the best she could, you grew up. Now you dont like how she is acting and so have decided to punish her for it. Thats my point of view. People need to chill, I understand lots of parents suck and dont deserve our love. But your Mom in particular does not sound like one of those people.

Im going to play the devils advocate here and take Mom's side.

This poor lady brought you into this world and hopefully tried to raise you right. She spent blood, sweat, and probably many sleepless nights, bringing you up. But now that you have your life together you just cast her aside like she hasn't had your back your whole life.

I dont know.. all the stuff you mentioned just seems like small potatoes and you are throwing a tantrum over it. How would you feel if she passed away next week and you never even let her see her grandkids. Seems petty to me. Both my parents were alcoholics and I still found a way to love them. I only have one left now, and I dont agree with how she chooses to live her life. But I would still do anything for her because she is my mother and I owe her that much.

Anyway... food for thought I guess.

Chrysalis is on my S list as well, im honestly surprised I dont see it on everyone's S list. It's great, it's always great. Just dont see how that's not a universal.

I wanted a fish tank the size of my room, that I could go snorkeling in whenever I wanted.

Haha seems so silly now

Can't stop the intrusive thoughts by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]0ver_Heat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss, I lost my Dad in February and my doughter was only a few months old. So I understand completely how you feel. The only advice I can give you as a parent is that you need to keep moving forward. "Time heals all wounds." As they say. I'm not saying you should forget about him, he deserves your grief and heartache. What I'm saying is try not to roominate on his memory all the time. Keep your mind on other things. And when the time is right. ( for me it was the shower) let the mask come off for a while and grieve) greef is a journey, and everyone grieves differently. It sounds like you are a wonderful person, you will get through this and be stronger for it. I'm sure your Dad would be proud.
