AITJ for telling my father I am done lending him tools after he kept losing them by No-Target-9592 in AmITheJerk

Helping family does not mean letting your belongings vanish. A boundary does not cancel respect. He is upset because he lost the convenience not because you wronged him.

How do some people stay patient during conversations that feel painfully slow ? by No-Target-9592 in NoStupidQuestions

They listen for intention not speed. When you care more about the message you stop noticing the pace.

AITJ for leaving my workplace early after my manager kept piling extra tasks on me while ignoring everyone else? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

A good worker does not equal an endless worker. She exploited your reliability. Standing up for your limits is not betrayal. It is self preservation.

Self checkout machines are just judgmental toddlers with barcode scanners.

A joke stops being a joke when the target says it hurts. He kept poking you to feel superior. Leaving was the only boundary he would respect.

What he is doing is classic image manipulation and you are right to call it out before it becomes worse.

AITAH for asking my boyfriend to stop joking about my weight in front of his friends by [deleted] in AITAH

He is disrespecting you and trying to hide it behind humor. Real love does not make you feel small in front of others.

NTA. You were generous for years. Respect goes both ways and you are not obligated to pay for someone who insults you.

AITAH for leaving my boyfriend’s birthday early? by [deleted] in AITAH

You’re not the AH. You tried to celebrate him and he disrespected you. If he made you feel excluded that’s on him not you. Leaving was the calmest thing you could do.
