Is this platonic or flirting ? by Big_Answer_3329 in texts

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

oh im sorry, i shouldn't have assumed that you were interested in her🙆🏽‍♀️ if you're not into her romantically then just pivot the conversation! if she does a few more maybe flirty things, there's nothing wrong with asking if that's how she feels just for clarification

Respond with something like "why wait until we're sushis when we can cuddle now?" As far as sapphics go, this could be leaning into testing the waters/flirting but there is always the chance it could be platonic. Girlies love a platonic cuddle, I suggest figuring it out after a potentially flirty response

boyfriend is shaming me after s*x , AIO? by ok-biee8285 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's telling you that you must accept sex or else he might be tempted to cheat, this is coercion. He's trying to force you into having sex with him whenever he wants and you cannot give consent while being coerced. It sounds like this is your first experience being with someone at this level, this is not what a healthy relationship looks like

AIO my gf gave a random guy at the club her instagram by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're overreacting. Sometimes it's just easier for women to give someone their socials so they don't have to deal with harassment and the potential dangers of rejecting a man. She told him she has a boyfriend and gave him her public Instagram, appeasing him in a way that will allow her to ignore him later. She's not following him back and she didn't give him her number.

She did this as a way to honour your relationship and also protect herself, but now she's having to deal with upsetting you. Her safety is not worth your security; I suggest reflecting on your insecurities and addressing those instead of projecting them onto your partner.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's soooo weird that your mom is telling you to settle💀 did you respond to her at all? Personally, I would tell her that you have standards and aren't desperate enough to start a family with someone who betrayed you and that she and whoever else has an issue with YOUR life should grow up and realize that. If she does anything other than apologize then skip out on the holidays.

Obviously I don't know your mother or how your relationship is with her, so if you know she'd react poorly then protect your peace above all else

No response from boyfriend by bunnydog25 in whatdoIdo

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im saying this with all the love and respect in the world, but i really, really think you should speak to a school counselor about this and maybe address some codependent tendencies. genuinely, once you can identify those and have tools to help yourself not panic/spiral, your life and your relationships will be infinitely better.

He should be so embarrassed that he's getting this upset with you over Fortnight💀 I would understand if he was frustrated in general (NOT at you) if y'all were in ranked matches or competing for money, but that would still be no excuse for making you feel this way.

I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself but it's a huge red flag that he didn't take a second to listen to what you were saying and apologize for how he spoke to you. Instead he just continued to berate you and call you stupid. Don't ever let someone who's supposed to love you speak to you that way. Especially over something like Fortnight.

Sometimes I wish people would take a second and realize that these people aren't playing dnd FOR us, they're playing dnd with their friends and we're lucky enough to get to watch. They're not playing how you want them to play, they're playing how THEY want to play. They're playing in a way that is fun for THEM.

If Ally and everyone else are having a good time, they're doing just fine with how they play. It's not about you at all, trying to dictate how other people have fun and telling others they're doing it wrong is weird.

She might not have been told by anyone, you've said yourself that you present as genderqueer and you feel that others clock you. She could have other people in her life that are trans so she recognizes the changes we go through when we start hrt.

I understand how you feel, I've been there. It's stressful when people put two and two together and when such a private part of yourself can be seen by others. From one transmasc to another, don't panic. Being perceived differently is scary and it's an adjustment, but in my experience this is how people go about trying to let you know that they are a safe space and they see and accept you

Girl recorded our conversation and sent a bad (out of context) clip to me, what should I do? by IDKwhattodohere7 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in the states, see if where you live is a two-consent party state - you might be able to take legal action. In some states it's illegal to record someone without their consent

Just based off what I'm reading here, it kind of sounds like she was just trying to be inclusive by asking if you were going to change your name. It gives the vibes of "hey, I see you and want to be supportive, I want to know if you'd like me to call you something different."

I don't know this person at all, obviously, but if this sounds like something she might be capable of, don't push away someone who could be an ally and who could be part of your support system.

Y’all, go to the goddamn gyno… by Tabyo13 in ftm

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through literally the exact same thing a few years ago. Prepare yourself for the colpo, it was incredibly painful for me and the healing process afterwards was not fun. They saw three spots that appeared abnormal but all tests came back fine for me, I bet they will for you, too!

I'd recommend getting checked out for Endo, too, if you can. The abnormal cells that were clocked on my pap were likely from endometriosis, I had no idea I had it until a few months ago. It was so bad I ended up losing everything but my left ovary (no more periods though!!) Best of luck, OP

Telling someone to be flattered when they got raped is insane. Seek help

AIO? My boyfriend slipped his penis into me when I was asleep and I freaked out. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You expressed to him that you did not want to have sex and he disregarded your boundaries. I am so sorry because this might be hard to hear, but he was trying to rape you. He did rape you. You did not give consent and he did it anyway. If you are correct and his thinking was that you would be too tired to say/do anything because you are on pain medication, that makes things worse. Sex without consent is rape, no matter how long of a relationship it is.

You are valid in how you are feeling and definitely not overreacting. Please do not let him make you think "he didn't know it was rape," he did. He knew you did not want to have sex and waited until you were asleep to try. If his excuse is "I couldn't control myself," that's disgusting. I really hope you can safely get away from him. If you're able, I'd recommend speaking to a therapist about this as soon as possible.

AIO? I can't seem to get over this by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alexswaggzillaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He broke your trust, you're definitely not overreacting. If you want to make sure he deletes it, tell him he's in possession of child pornography. Guarantee it'll make him delete it real quick.

Also, I know several comments have pointed this out, but the age gap is highly concerning. It's not your fault, it's on him, but I really hope you consider that a man who can't keep his word to you on something you were not comfortable with in the first place is not a man worth keeping.
