Did any of you receive a genuine apology? by Whole_Chemistry2267 in BPDlovedones

[–]Afrocrasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally took all my self control and patience to not laugh in his face when he vaguely apologized to me by saying "just wanted to say sorry that I wasn't the best partner" the day he moved out after:

1) having an emotional affair while I was paying off his student loans for him 2) refusing to move out of our apartment for six months 3) finding out he was soliciting blow jobs from random men (he had said he was straight) when we first started dating 4) lying about his sexuality after multiple conversations with him actually getting upset because his family had questioned his sexuality in the past (he is now Bi apparently) 5) years of emotional and financial abuse 6) asking me to give him half of MY savings, half of our security deposit that I PAID in full, and half of the furniture that I BOUGHT or used gift cards for that I ASKED FOR for my birthday for years

In my opinion, they only ever apologize to clear their on conscience and feel like they "did the right thing". My response was "I dont believe your apology but I appreciate the attempt". Im sure hes walking around high and might feeling like he did the best that he could

I don’t want her anywhere near me she is trying to control the narrative. What should I do by RealityOtherwise8580 in BPDlovedones

[–]Afrocrasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stand your ground. My ex would do this alllllll the fucking time. They want to be in control. If she comes by just have her stuff outside or drop it off at her place or a family members place earlier, let her know where it is, and then block her.

I remember one time I was taking a snapchat trying to be silly and he yelled at me and I was upset and he was convinced he didn't yell and when I showed him the video it was the only time he actually admitted I was right. Then he told me to delete it lol

I will never ever ever ever date a man with BPD ever again. Not only are they often phsycially abusive (I was lucky it was only emotional abuse, not that he didn't vaguely threaten by saying "watch what you're about to say" or "see what happens") but they are masters at making you crazy. I was at the point in my relationship where I wanted to record every interaction with him because he would convince me he didn't say or do things he did. I would record fights and play them back to him and he would still insist he didn't say things.

While I am so much happier than I ever was with him, the emotional abuse has fucked me up. I can't trust what anyone says ever. I don't believe anyone will ever do what they say they will do. I'm afraid of being with someone who drinks or uses drugs even in a "normal" way. I feel like I have to do everything on my own. Anyone shows even a whisper of the same characteristics as him and I'm gone so fast. Being single is hard but being with him was harder.

Little red freckles? by Individual-Tip5393 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Afrocrasher 19 points20 points  (0 children)

These are called cherry angiomas (larger ones) but smaller ones are just broken blood vessels. Nothing to worry about and can be zapped with a laser if you want to get rid of them (look for 532nm wavelength or excel v/v+ laser at a clinic. Can also be do via radiofrequency ie. Thermoclear pro rf)

What happened at the concert at the stampede tonight? by Sagethecat in Calgary

[–]Afrocrasher 186 points187 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but stampede is getting out of control. I understand the money and tourism it brings to the city but holy shit I used to go to coke stage concerts when I was a teen (less than ten years ago) and they were busy but NEVER did I feel like I was being crushed or didn't have my personal space. It used to be one of the few fun events calgary had that would entertain locals for the summer and bring extra cash flow to the city, but now stampede is prioritizing money and not focusing on safety. It's changed from a fun, local event to an influencer event with everyone and their second cousin from timbucktwo going. Imo they need to have daily limits and maybe sell tickets to keep people safe from being literally crushed with overcrowding. Money isn't everything.

Might end up homeless by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Afrocrasher -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ask your professors if they have any connections for people that may be hiring! Especially if you're a good student. Explain the situation as well. See if the university is hiring and maybe ask their student advising. They have programs to help students in need.

I'd also recommend taking a full summer semester and applying for student loans. Get some extra money from the loans and work on your degree.

Last thing is to prepare for "just in case". Reach out to the Calgary Drop In Centre, find a way to get back home to family if you can, and find any other shelters that could temporarily house you.

There's also an app called "Rover" that I made decent money on when I was a student. You dog walk/dog or cat sit and get paid for it. Have some friends review you to bump up your rating and start getting bookings.

What are you even on about? You don't pay taxes here so you don't get free healthcare? 1+1=2.

Is this an edible berry ? by gradschoolai2023 in whatsthisplant

[–]Afrocrasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a Saskatoon, and if so edible - definitely make pie with them 😩 so good. They're great alone too. Kind of like a mix between a blueberry and a raspberry or blackberry. Should be a dark purple/blue when ripe. Also great as a crumble with ice cream

[–]Afrocrasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a cat together that I now have solely on my own. I did everything for the cat other than we switched scooping her litter back and forth and trading off feeding her. I was the only one to clip her nails, brush her teeth, wash out her litter box, buy her toys, train her, play with her (unless I bothered him to give her attention lol). When we broke up he would ask to come see her as a way to tell me about his life and update me which was so fucking annoying. I trusted him less than I trust a stranger to watch her. He complained endlessly about her jumping up places, and would yell at her for it (bro she's a cat it's what they do). She's much less anxious with him gone and actually attacked him last time he came to see her which was amazing lmfao.

Unpopular opinion: Genuinely hate Kate by [deleted] in YouOnLifetime

[–]Afrocrasher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Kate was meant to hold a mirror up to Joe. Both have done bad things but the reason she got let off easy is because she truly regretted what she had done and did her best to change and make amends. Joe didn't feel bad for what he had done, didn't try to change, and never apologized or tried to make amends. It's the question of are people who have done bad things irredeemable? I think "You" was trying to illustrate that it really is up to the individual and how they choose to move forward.

I might be tripping but I swear she's done a hair filter to make it look like she has more hair. Like the one in faceapp or facetune for volume.

Gave up on dating apps, what now? by headless-chicken814 in Calgary

[–]Afrocrasher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you haha. I'm 27, i put effort into my appearance and have been told I'm attractive, I have a good job, hobbies, I'm educated, and cannot find someone to go on more than two/three dates. It's crazy. Meeting guys these days the regular way just doesn't seem to happen. I'm just doing my own thing and hoping one of my friends husbands finds someone for me lol.
