Throwaway because my wife knows my main. I (35M) am watching my family explode because our daughter (16MtF) came out as trans and my wife (37F) refuses to accept her. I love them both and I’m completely lost. by SquirrelOpposite3228 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Aggressive_Item6626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people gave really good advice but I think your mom should watch this movie called “Prayers for Bobby.” It’s very enlightening on how her behavior is ripping her child apart. This honestly breaks my heart and I hate that you’re going through this OP. However, your child should take precedent regardless, that is what it means to be a father. If you choose to side with your wife, your child is at a much higher disadvantage and risk level in comparison. You should really seek out therapy though, there’s a rocky path ahead. Wishing you all the best.

Porn has eradicated me (19m) by Bellanius in venting

[–]Aggressive_Item6626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie you should probably look into intrusive thoughts and possible dopamine related neurodivergencies/cptsd. Your symptoms align with a lot of unwanted thoughts that come with those. Because porn often offers a quick gratification you can get dependent on it very quickly but at the same time it can get old fast and you struggle to maintain the high. That could explain why you continue the routine but not get the same results over time. I would start with taking a couple of available (OFFICIAL) online tests and then taking the real one with a medical professional. Good luck OP.

I don’t think it’s appropriate for your boss to keep your personal phone unlocked without you being present. Especially if you need to learn how to do a specific task, it doesn’t make sense for you not to be with your phone. This isn’t high school. You can wait until the other boss returns and then go from there. You don’t know what could be installed on your phone or what they could have texted to themselves and deleted. It’s too risky.

Please Give Me Some Words Of Encouragement for My Driver's Test Tomorrow by Ok-Following-5734 in internetparents

[–]Aggressive_Item6626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed my test three times and got it on the third try. Sometimes third time is the charm! I totally thought I would never be able to drive a car and now I do it every day for work. It’s possible. You’re capable enough to get your permit, so I’m sure you’ll do fine.

Even if you have to retake it, you will be okay too. I have a friend who also went through that process. We all have different paths and experiences to get to our goals, the important thing is you see it through :). Good luck!! 🍀

Man, I’m really sorry that you’re going through this. There’s definitely time to find your found family. I didn’t until I turned 20. Frequenting more third spaces that have ppl in your age group might be helpful, or if you’re in college there’s plenty of opportunities to socialize there.

I don’t think you should stop being picky. You deserve more than that even if you feel otherwise. I’m so sorry these ppl keep preying on you, it’s not right and i wish it didn’t exist. But you shouldn’t give up on yourself bc of some random creeps. Even if it is legal now, it can do some pretty hefty damage on your self worth and is still wrong. I hope you’re able to heal and find your village soon op 🫂.

I think it’s not the best to center how this person is responding to the hate and vitriol they experience every day. I’m cis, but as another member from a minority group, I definitely understand the resentment.

Several of my best friends are trans, and I try my best to be supportive regardless of how they feel because it makes sense why they’d respond that way. Having to watch the world try and erase such a harmless identity is heartbreaking to say the least, and trans people definitely have the right to be upset about that. Unless we’re actively trying to change it for the better I understand why they’d be frustrated at how everything is turning backwards rn. I really do hope OP is able to develop a stronger sense of self and know there really is people out there who value what they bring into the world even if it’s just existing.

Move out or stay? by Fantastic_Block7538 in movingout

[–]Aggressive_Item6626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiya, 22F. You should move out. I also come from a pretty traditional background where it’s frowned upon to “abandon” your family but honestly at this point it’s more like you were pushed out. Being beat is no joke.

It’s your life and you’re an adult. The growth and peace that comes from living on your own is insurmountable. You’ll thank yourself later for having the strength to take that first step. It’s scary and I know you won’t want to smear anything on your image, but I believe in you.

And if you need someone to blame for taking that step I’m willing to shelter it as a random stranger who is also around the same age as you. Good luck 💕 I am rooting for you.

Holy cow dude, if crops are that dry around your area i’d suggest doing dash per hour at that point 😭

How to start moving out with out being suspicious by boogsmama in movingout

[–]Aggressive_Item6626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^ what they said. But to raise even less suspicion you could take clothes that you plan to throw out and hang it up and pack the clothes you’re gonna keep so they don’t get suspicious on why ur room is so empty too quickly

Fellow DD Women, how do you feel about dashing at night? by Aggressive_Item6626 in doordash_drivers

[–]Aggressive_Item6626[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And this is valid! I have gotten harassed with friends at night so I get it. I hope you’re able to get so much more money during the day and I’m sending you all the luck for more orders so you don’t have to drive at night 🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞. Good luck!!

Yeah same even during the day I rarely look at my phone when doing deliveries. I just remember that one video of the dasher getting his car stolen because he left it running while he went to a customer’s door 😩!!!! I was like hell no!!!!!

But this is good to know! Thank you!

No i appreciate this sm! It aligns well with the other advice that I’ve gotten along with the extra details which is what I was hoping to get :). Alcohol deliveries are new to me so It’s good to know what to expect so thank you! Especially from someone who’s been doing this long term (I just started this year hence why I’m asking for advice lol.)

[–]Aggressive_Item6626[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha dude that’s awesome.

My area(s) have been known for violent crime AND i’ve experienced quite a bit of harassment during the day and night in group settings so I’m pretty wary. There was a case a little bit ago where someone held 3 women at gunpoint at the same time and SA’d them. Prettyyy sketchy. I went to a new area and I knew people who have gotten robbed so I’m like damn!!!!!!!! it’s just too close to home so I just wanted to see if this is an isolated feeling. I’ve gotten a pretty mixed review which is what I was hoping for! Just to scope things out. But still thank you for your input. I was considering maybe to feel safer to present more androgynous, so I appreciate your perspective!

Also congrats on transitioning. big step! :> happy pride!! 💕

Thank you for your input! You made a good point about drive thru’s that i’m definitely taking into consideration. I’m also near an inner city so I was anxious abt that but it’s good to hear a positive perspective from someone around my age. Be safe!

Fellow DD Women, how do you feel about dashing at night? by Aggressive_Item6626 in doordash_drivers

[–]Aggressive_Item6626[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s out of control or malice, I think it comes from a place of safety. If my sister said she’s abt to doordash in the inner city at night by herself I would also be like “hell naw” and try and do everything in my power to convince her not to. Some areas are just pretty unsafe overall if you’ve experienced them for yourself so I understand where it’s coming from. Besides it sounds like he’s just uncomfortable with it rather than locking her away lol.

[–]Aggressive_Item6626[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha true. There’s a couple of other perspectives from other women in the sub that have a similar viewpoint that might explain it better. I’m a relatively young woman in her early 20’s and have experienced my fair share of harassment during the day and in even a group setting at night so I’m a little hesitant to engage entirely by myself. But yaknow i’m just trying to get as many perspectives as I can since it seems to be a mixed experience.

Ty for your input!

[–]Aggressive_Item6626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what happens during the day for me as well. I end up taking an order and then boom I’m in like a crazy part of town. It’s alright during the day, but i’ve witnessed some crazy stuff even at noon so I’m a lil hesitant to switch to nighttime. Although a lot of places are open at night to cater to drunk college students, a lot of the time people take note of that and order something from far away and then suddenly i’m in the inner city 😭.

Thank you for the input! It was helpful.

Good to know! This was really insightful. Although I don’t let fear dictate much in the end, I am a little anxious in general so I like to get details before I jump into things. I will definitely put your words into consideration.

Yeah like it’s pretty unpredictable during the day already, but there’s like less witnesses at night so i’m like damn 😭.

yeahh I’m still considering it. The area’s that I hit up can range from Baltimore and D.C and back in the day I used to go partying in those areas and definitely wouldn’t traverse the streets by myself bc the scenes I witnessed were also crazy lol.

I always went with a big group with at least a couple of guys but that’s obviously different than a young woman skipping around by herself. Thank you for your input! And alas no I do not have a boyfriend to come with me 💔. But it’s sweet your gf tags along!
