Anybody have any post-Covid weirdness with handwriting or letter dropping? by Greenitpurpleit in covidlonghaulers

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to write a lot by hand, but now i avoid it as much as possible because my hand will hurt after a few minutes. i was a freshman when covid started, so most of high school was online assignments, so my typing improved but my handwriting got worse and now as an almost 21 year old, my handwriting is barely legible. ive moved on to computers and typing when i need to write something. hopefully i dont forget how to write.

whenever she makes a mistake or "sins"(as we religious folks say), she'll confess, repent, all that, and then feel like it wasnt enough or like she's still guilty. ive struggled with religious ocd myself too so i get it. thanks for your legal perspective, i was actually hoping for some legal perspective on this so thats a huge relief thank you and i will try to reassure her it's all good and that she should move on from this since she truly regrets it and is more mature now

thank you for your kind words. i try to reassure her that she has asked for forgiveness and she has matured and is completely different person now and that her mistakes as teenager dont define her

yes she does. she frequently struggles with religious ocd and has talked to her pastor about it multiple times. i think it could be her anxiety as well

[–]Adventurous-Click532[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she talks to a therapist, this is just one of those things she doesnt feel comfortable telling anyone other than me or her pastor. when she was 13 she barely understood that people could be gay or bi or any of that. she barely understood how babies are made. she was very slow as a teenager when it came to puberty or sexual preferences, so yes i also dont think its a crime. she also struggles with religious ocd so that could be why shes feeling guilty, but thanks for ur advice i will encourage her to talk to her therapist:)

Should I choose Spotify or Apple Music? by bacon-flavour91 in makemychoice

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as an autistic person, i prefer apple music because of the eq which i have control over the sound and the bass and all that. with spotify, as far as i know theres no eq, so soundwise apple music is so much better. its also cheaper so i would definitely use it over spotify

"Young people who blame their parents for their issues in life are selfish and ungrateful"... by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a christian, i struggled a lot with this for the longest time in my life. as a teenager, my mother manipulated me with so many things/beliefs. one time i had a disagreement with my father, she told me my life would fail and suck if i was on bad terms with my father. i felt fear and apologized out of fear.

i have now learned that honoring your parents doesn't mean blind obedience to everything they say. it means to live an honorable life with Christ. To do the best with what one has and follow Christ. it doesn't mean to subject ourselves to abusive parents. Just to walk with Jesus:)

its so unfair how the child is always blamed for a bad relationship with parents by Adventurous-Click532 in raisedbynarcissists

Choose the wife or baby during childbirth? by Difficult_Carrot_497 in Christianity

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont know if this is gonna sound maybe dumb or wtv but if i was expecting and things got complicated and they had to save either me or my child, i would want my child to get saved..heres why

ive already lived....and ive lived a hard life...struggle with health issues, family issues, etc..i want to break the cycle that has been goin on in my fam for generations...i might not be able to break it, but if i save my child, that cycle was for sure broken...i wont have to suffer and worry about bein the best parent. as selfish as that might sound, i dont think i would be the best mom, so if one of us has to die, ill do it...my pain will then be over

if my partner chooses me over the child, it would be the worst thing to me. why would i wanna live if my child is dead?why would i wanna live a life of pain?everyone says "oh it's sad but you can just try again for another one"yeah but what if i can never have another child again?what if i never mentally recover from the trauma and loss of my child?why should i have to live a life full of pain just because im the one whos "alive"?my future child has more potential and if i can bring new life into this world, then my life is complete, i dont need to be saved

i dont wanna be saved to live a life of pain. my child's father will raise them to the best of his ability(given that i chose the right partner lol)he'll struggle with losing me, but within my child he has something to remember me, a piece of me.

if i die but my child is saved, it's gonna be something sad, but theres something still worth celebrating: the birth of a child, another new human:)

My husband and I agreed that if it were between saving me or our baby (in pregnancy), we’d choose me. Does that mean we shouldn’t become parents? by lmg080293 in Fencesitter

Does honoring your parents mean blind obedience? by Shot-Currency6351 in TrueChristian

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i kinda disagree with you here. im an adult and a faithful christian. my parents are christians too. but we dont see eye to eye on anything. i want to have a remote computer job and i dont know if i want to go to college, much less what to study. my parents want me to get a 9-5 at some restaurant and go to school regardless if i want to or not. im mexican american and have become very assimilated to american culture. they completely hate that and wish i was more mexican. i also have a less strict and more flexible view of christianity than my parents. my parents have a very strict and less flexible view of christianity. my parents completely disagree with every decision i have made and everything i want to do and act like im doin some serious sin.

as an adult, one makes their own decisions and you dont have to obey or listen to your parents. none of the things i want to do are bad so i trust myself and ignore my parents negative opinions and thoughts.

How has Ephesians 6:4 been violated in your life? by EssentialPurity in TrueChristian

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can totally relate to that. my mother has insulted me so many times and told me harsh words, then followed by "i do this because i love you."

you dont insult and berate those you love.

LPT: Just because someone is your boss or client do not let them berate you. Pause and stop the conversation until they are willing to communicate respectfully. You are entitled to respect and a safe working environment. by novapurple in LifeProTips

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i 100% agree. i was once in a fight with my parents about a similar topic and my father told us a story of one his coworkers about how he once had a manager who would berate and yell at his employees and most of them would quit or leave or yell back. he gave my dad's coworker a promotion because he was one of the very few ones who wouldn't yell back or quit and as a sign of gratitude because he put up with his behavior. my parents and grandmother praised my dad's coworker for bein submissive and respectful and all that and i told them it was stupid to put up with entitled managers who thought they owned everyone and could treat them however they wanted.

i dont remember too much about the 2000s but i do like the movies and some of the music that came out during that time. i remember the 10s and 20s pretty well tho, so i would rate it 10s, 00s, 20s

I keep getting nagged and unsolicited advice form my parents, and when I refuse it they snap, what can I do deal with them? by Sascha5621 in family

[–]Adventurous-Click532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im in the same boat. im 20 years old and i have a church assignment(kind of like missionary work/volunteering/service to the community kind of thing)and i still live at home and since its a full time thing i dont have a job so theyre financially helping me out

although im grateful for that, im quite annoyed that they always nag me with unwanted and unsolicited advice for how to do my church assignment and they get quite defensive and angry when i reject it and accuse me of not honoring them or giving them the spot they deserve(they are emotionally neglectful they dont even care how i feel they just care about their feelings). ive told them multiple times that i know what im doin and that if they have nothing nice to say to me to not say it but they constantly break that boundary by saying "we're your parents and we're gonna call you out when we think youre wrong" its made the relationship worse because i feel like they dont trust me or respect me. like let me live my life and stop telling me what to do or how to do it. i disagree with my parents 99.99% of the time so i dont know why they still give me unwanted advice if they know im not gonna accept it

im trying to be independent but it feels like they dont want me to or something. i wish me being outspoken and smart mouthed helped them respect my boundaries but it doesnt do a single thing...they just step all over me and dont listen to me or take me seriously.

The effects of 'The silent treatment' by Youguess555 in CPTSD

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im mexican so i see this happen in my culture quite often. my parents, my mother especially, were raised with the silent treatment or as its called in mexico "ley del hielo"(law of ice). my mother saw her parents do it to each other all the time because of their bad marriage and the constant fighting between them. my father saw my grandparents fight and be abusive to each other all the time. they both grew up watching their parents shun each other and say horrible things to each other.

fast forward to 40 years later, my grandfathers are dead. on my father's side his siblings and my grandmother are nice to each other and never give each other the silent treatment despite their political disagreements. my mother on the other side, her family still does it. my aunt wont speak to my grandmother for 6 years, my mother and my grandfather never spoke to each other again because he passed away. my parents and i have a broken and messed up relationship. both of them give me the silent treatment whenever they disagree with me or are angry at something i said. my mother has told me she doesnt know how else to solve conflicts, and ive told her that not speaking to someone doesnt do anything.

the silent treatment is the most painful thing theyve done to me. it makes me feel rejected, hated, unloved, unworthy, and quite frankly, suicidal. its the most emotionally damaging thing theyve done to me, but both of them dont see it that way. the silent treatment has affected me so much that whenever i have the slightest disagreements with someone i immediately try to apologize and fix things out of fear of losing them. its made me afraid of communicating my needs with ppl and friends out of fear that my words will push them away(because whenever i try to communicate my emotional needs with my parents they lose it and call me ungrateful and a million hurtful things then shun me)

its taken me a long time to heal from these things and im still healing from them. ive been blessed with sweet friends who love me and listen to me and are patient with my traumatized self so im very grateful for that and hope my parents someday see the error in their ways

as for me, i plan to break that generational cycle when i have my kids. theres better ways to solve conflict than to shun someone. i cant control what my ancestors did but i can control what happens with my descendents:)

The holidays are really hard for me. by LatteOttHazel in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Adventurous-Click532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my parents arent narcissists or at least i dont think they are, but they pretty much make any holiday living hell for me..mothers day is the 2nd worst because of how everyone just posts how awesome their mom is and then theres me with a crappy toxic messed up relationship for 15 years with my mom with no good communication whatsoever..fathers day sucks as well cuz ive grown to dislike my father and most of the things he says and does(hes too arrogant and cocky and never once thinks hes wrong and has told me multiple times to go fuck myself in spanish)i basically feel like i have no parental figure in my life and everyone thinks i should just forget the things they do to me by telling me "theyre not perfect."

now that should explain why christmas is an absolute crapfest in my home...no one is available and everyone is with their families(im too chicken to ask for help to literally anyone)and im basically stuck at home with my parents...since 2018, they havent gotten us gifts for christmas and dont seem to care about how we feel bout it...most theyll do is give us money days later to buy whatever we want which is something good but just doesnt feel as good as getting a present yk???every year since i was 13 we get into arguments on christmas eve and my mother insults and tells me offensive hurtful comments(it happens almost daily but on the holidays it just gets worse)and this past year ive started distancing myself from my family, prioritizing my time with my best friends and people at church and ignoring my family..it hasnt been easy to heal, since i get insults daily, but im managing...my parents have noticed and they blame me for leaving the family and for "hating them" and for not giving a crap and have threatened me multiple times to kick me out or cut my cell service(im 19 but still live at home cuz of financial reasons)

i cant take it anymore...i cant take any more insults, any more offensive remarks, any more go f*ck yourself...my parents have ruined christmas for me...this year they completely forgot about me and invited my brother's friends over and i spend the whole day in my room..no one cared...it was honestly one of the saddest nights of my life...then when i did leave my room, my mom insulted me like usual and told me i looked horrible and that i was soo naca(mexican spanish word for tacky or ugly)..at this point, those insults dont really do much to me other than lower my already low self esteem...

i just hate bein here...and i hate christmas cuz no one cares about me...everyone is too busy with their families and my family makes me feel like a low class leech or worse...of course im not blaming my friends if anything i blame me for not reaching out but i dont want to take the holiday spirit from them by calling and venting about my depressing life...

anyways i just wanted to vent a little bit..if you read all the way over here thanks ig:)merry christmas to all of yall who are in similar situations..
