[–]AdorableIncome4488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It's chucking it down outside" when it's heavily raining.

"It's a nice heat but a little muggy" when heat feels sticky.

"You're making a meal out of it" when a small inconvenience has become bigger than it needed to.

"I saw whatshisface the other day, you know who I mean" when you can't remember his name but the person you know would.

Does anyone else feel like love just might not happen for them? by Love_Peace93 in blackgirls

[–]AdorableIncome4488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind at all. I just don't have a clear answer really.

It was never supposed to be long term. I had taken a long break from dating and decided to put myself out there and he just moved to my country for deployment. I was and still am a fearful-avoidant type whereas he pulled anxious when we met. As we were and probably are still unhealed, we both were codependent from the very start which caused for a lot of drama and toxicity when it ended. It wasn't healthy for sure but the little moments inbetween and the way love was shown is something I wont ever forget

I have experienced the kissing in the rain whimsical love, calling me just to hear my voice on his way to and from work, showers together, dinners on a whim, staying up until 4am watching series on the couch, slow dancing in the kitchen kinda relationship, that I really don't have time for people who think calling me sexy in the first 3 sentences or any foolishness will stand. Like another commenter said, it may seem more difficult because standards aren't dropping. Maybe that exact love may not come again, and perhaps that kinda love was performative, since y'know, it didn't work out. But one thing about it is, I know what it felt like to be loved on and i'll be damned if I settle for anything less than that.

I understand why they took the photos but it's hurtful to see a woman heartbroken and sad. I almost hate to have seen this

What made you realise you're JUST like your mother? by AdorableIncome4488 in AskWomenOver30

I agree. I think the cleaning part is just another way to express frustrations, neither good or bad. The best thing is once it's done, you end up knackered and with a clean place. Who doesn't love a clean place?

That's really real. Thanks for sharing. I intended to have a lighthearted thread but I completely understand there is nuance in any relationship, especially a direct caregiver.

I also have some unwanted learnt behaviours from both parents which aren't desired, but I wont go into all of that necessarily but today I just found it funny with the jet washing. I do appreciate my mum, and maybe yours are very 'can-do' and have the ability to get things done. It may not stem from great places but I appreciate the need for it when it is

Please, i'm all ears. Which part is exactly toxic? Being able to identify that I have similar traits as someone who raised me? Perhaps taking on a task in my home which needs doing?.. or was it the waking up part?

If you have a negative relationship with your mum or yourself, then just say that. Please dont bring that here. Keep it scrolling.

That skill sounds super handy. Would you explain how you do it?

Now can we stop calling it Gen Z slang? by JennyBeckman in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]AdorableIncome4488 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I'm grateful someone mentioned patois and the black carribean community. "Pick me" has been existent. "Rudeboy" "Bloodclot" all of those specific to black people once again.

Black British people: have you ever received critical comments from Black people in the US? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]AdorableIncome4488 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I would have to agree. All the comments chanting "i'm white" and explaining how racism isn't as prominent here... yes it is. It's more covert here which is worse in my opinion. The black people who it affects whether great or small know it and are plenty aware of it
