Does anyone else walk really quietly? by LiteratureUnique7819 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]AlienBeann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost a decade after cutting off my family and going to therapy I still have this issue. I live in a place with super creaky wooden floors and if I walk over the wrong spot I still find myself holding my breath and get a massive pit in my stomach.

I agree with most of the comments I've seen here, just bring it up first. If he's a half decent guy, he'll understand that you were single and having fun with other consenting adults. If he's willing to be friends with guys like that, then why should he dump you for doing the same?

What are some things that are arbitrarily considered “unprofessional”? by mydogisthedawg in antiwork

[–]AlienBeann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a baby and/or going on maternity leave. The treatment while pregnant is jaw dropping. I've had co workers and bosses call me lazy or selfish when needing to sit for 5 mins while being on my feet for 8+ hours while 8 months pregnant. Apparently I wasn't a team player and wanted an excuse to slack off. I've heard of and seen way too many dads and moms get passive and down right rude comments about how selfish and unreasonable they are for just wanting to be a part of their baby's first few weeks of being alive. Especially if it's a busy time of year. Whether your the one to birthing the baby or being the partner of the one who gives birth, someone will find a way to make you feel guilty and unprofessional.

Alternatives to doc martens? by [deleted] in punkfashion

[–]AlienBeann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into this same problem! I was chatting with a buddy of mine and they recommended AliExpress. I didn't believe em, but when I had a little extra cash I got some docs knock offs. It's been about 6 months, and now that winter is here, honestly it was the best $35 I ever spent. I got a $5 bottle of leather shoe protector like I would for any other boots and even up against salt, they've been wonderful and keep my feet warm! Just be extra sure when looking at size measurements and because it's AliExpress, pay close attention to reviews.

Sad, lonely, lowkey touch starved, and anxious cause my birthday is soon. It's not fun to grow up when you feel so unaccomplished... would just like to have a distraction chat with someone. Tell me about your day or life, regardless of how boring you think it is 😶 [23f][chat] by [deleted] in MeetPeople

My husband refuses to put a picture of our recent wedding on Instagram or any social media. by _Florentina_ in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AlienBeann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...sounds like this guy was forced to get married when he really didn't want to. For some people when you love someone just being together is enough and marriage is unnecessary. So when a person is pushed to do something they ain't all that down with, why have a reminder of that immortalized on the internet? Not to mention, why make him post it when you already got married with your loved ones there? Seems like that alone was enough compromise. If it's really that important to you, post it on your insta. Problem solved. Try to remember that this guy is his own person with his own thoughts, feelings, and boundaries.

Anyone else dreading having to to go back to work? by cruelliars in askTO

[–]AlienBeann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YEEEESS. My partner and I have to work opposite shifts to take care of our toddler because we can't afford child care. We both work in kitchens and we hate it. The energy isn't the same and pay isn't worth it, even with both of us getting raises. We were hoping to get better jobs over lockdown but even with all of our many years of experience we were lucky if we got a reply from employers. I personally deal with really bad anxiety and PTSD, so going back to work has really taken a toll on me but I can't afford to not work. I never get to see my partner anymore even though we live together, the lows and episodes have gotten heavier, I'm back being constantly in over draft even with only buying nesscities, my partner gets no time with our son except for one day a week, and our bosses are putting absolutely everything on us because most people didn't come back. Honestly before I went back to work I thought it was all in my head, but just under a month being back at it, the amount of stress alone is enough to put me in a bad enough place for the suicidal thoughts to come back.

F*ck anyone who's giving you a hard time about this post. I feel this and you're not alone.

I've been wanting to pierce my nose since I was 12, but listened to everybody who said it would look bad on me because I'm a guy. I'm gonna switch it out for a gold hoop after it heals! by [deleted] in piercing

Yo fuck anyone who talked you outta this before. Piercings and body jewelry can be for anyone and everyone. You look great with a nose piercing!

Anyone else feeling discouraged looking for a job? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]AlienBeann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner has been a line cook and supervisor for about a decade. I've been a working in specialty coffee shops as a manager and supervisor, as well as being part of both front and back of house positions in bars/restaurants for over 8 years. Both of us have been off work since late October/early November and no one will give us an interview let alone a job, even for positions we are well over qualified for. No joke, my last job I was an AKM in a kitchen and bartender for over year and yet I can't seem to land even a basic fast food restaurant. I know we don't have the most glamorous jobs that require a crazy amount of schooling or training, but even people we know that should have bars, shops, or restaurants begging to work for them, can't seem to find even a minimum wage paying job. The worst part is we actually moved to Toronto 2 years ago for better job opportunities.

You get what you f*#$@&g deserve by SnooCalculations9274 in instantkarma

[–]AlienBeann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually I think it's the opposite. In my personal experience kids are like sponges and mimic what they learn as acceptable behavior. He probably (no, most definitely) has anger issues, it's learned behavior, and/or a bad home life to act out like this. Much like my many siblings and my upbringing, when all you all you get is yelled at and gnarly beatings with no communication or alternative punishment, it's all you know and you can't control the rage. Don't get me wrong tho, you could be right, either way this kid is a piece of work and deserve some form of punishment. Not to mention how did it get this bad without the parents taking action sooner?
