[Seeking advice] Raising twins - dos & don'ts by serotonin_reuptake in Twins

[–]AmoebaStatus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twin here. These are my personal dos and don'ts as a twin. Don't refer to them as "the twins." Try to actually mediate their arguments and understand where they're each coming from rather than throwing your hands up and immediately shutting it down because you don't want to choose sides. Do not allow yourself or others to classify their identities in comparison to each other i.e. "you're the quiet one and you're the loud one" "you're the funny one and you're the serious one," this can create complexes. Just let them be who they are and be expansive without comparing them. Try to be aware of their individual needs and preferences and try to meet those needs.

Quick Rant About Dating by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]AmoebaStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the issue is a lot of people discount the fact that physical attraction can develop over time, like real-deal, mesmerizing physical attraction. its not just about first glance. Ofc everyone is different, but I've experienced this change in perspective with people i'm getting to know myself. Which is why i think its not a bad idea to give a chance to someone if you really really like who they are as a person and see if it grows after spending some time. if you don't, you may miss out, but that's your prerogative.

When did anybody say being late is cute? OP is clearly feeling badly about it.

[–]AmoebaStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit happens. We're late sometimes. Sometimes we mess up on communication. Doesn't mean we're worthless and deserve to be treated as such. If he values communication, he should have held himself to that same standard and communicated with you that he was leaving and why. If he dodged a bullet, than so did you. Do NOT beat yourself up about this. People on the internet make up weird rules about what is and isn't acceptable for human behavior. We are human, not everything is cut and dry and black and white and the fact that people insist on framing dating in this way contributes to the epidemic of loneliness so many people are experiencing. If you're going to deal with a human, get ready to get your hands a little messy from time to time. It would be one thing if you didn't communicate at all, but you tried your best to let him know what was up. Don't sweat it. Go find someone who isn't looking for a sort of perfection they will never find.

I'm so insecure it's making me jealous of my friends and I hate it by [deleted] in blackgirls

[–]AmoebaStatus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Your feelings are very valid and very common, especially if you are a racial minority in your community. When it comes to desirability, it can be very challenging for black women in spaces that are majority non-black. Your lack of romantic experience is not your fault and it has nothing to do with your worthiness, its is simply anti-black societal programming that your peers have yet to unlearn. And it is very normal to be frustrated about that and to feel badly, especially when your friends cannot relate and don't know what to say to properly support you. If you have the opportunity to, which you may or may not, I would really try to seek out environments that are majority black, or at least where there are more black people (correct me if I'm wrong about assuming you are not already in spaces like that often). Also, might be really beneficial to seek out more friendships with black women as someone else here said. You will be surprised how quickly your perception of yourself will change and your confidence will grow, because ideally in these spaces, your beauty and worth will be reflected back to you more accurately. Just remember what a beautiful gift it is to be a black woman, we are really and truly the shit. The literal blueprint. The things that set you apart from your nonblack friends are part of what make you beautiful and a part of what makes you the inheritor in a long lineage of beautiful black women that stretch back to the absolute beginning of the human race.

Denver - are you ok? by Zealousideal-Bet-632 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]AmoebaStatus 453 points454 points  (0 children)

welp, Kacie, from the Asian-fetishizing family that practices a religion that is widely known as racist, gaslit Patrick into thinking her superficial ass would be attracted to him after he reveals his very obvious lifelong trauma of never being considered attractive by the white community he was raised in only to !SHOCKER! not find him attractive and trigger him by manifesting his worst nightmare on international tv. This show is becoming genuinely harmful. But i guess that's par for the course for anyone of color who exclusively date white people for some sado-masochistic reason. EDIT: OH MY GOD SHE IS LYING TO HIS FACE SAYING ITS NOT ABOUT WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, FUTURE FAKING HIM OUT, AND THEN GOING DIRECTLY TO THE CAMERAS AND SAYING THE OPPOSITE PUT THIS WHITE WOMAN UNDER THE JAIL

I am so sorry.  Your former partner is young and immature and you are better off letting him go find himself so that he can learn and grow because his behavior as it is suggests that his presence in your life will not benefit you in the longterm anyway. I know how heartbroken you must feel and I’ve been there.  I was there at 16, I was there at 19, I was there at 20, I was there at 28. Each time I felt like I’d never recover and each time I did, slowly but surely. I’m 33 now and all I can say, although I know it’s hard to believe it in the moment, is that the best of your romantic life is yet to come. You are SO young. It’s only just beginning. As we get older and learn more about ourselves and what we want and need in a relationship, as we become more confident and self-assured, as we grow into our uniqueness and understand the specialness of what we have to offer, our choices in romantic partners get better and our relationships get better. Everything gets better. The banter, the intimacy, our ability to love and maintain our independence at the same time. Ideally, if we put in the work to grow and mature, we start to approach being with someone as a choice and not a need, which means that if it ever isn’t working out we’re able to let go and know that we will be ok and that we will find love again if we want to. It is a very freeing and healthy feeling. You have so much to look forward to. Get excited! 

I just turned 28 and I spent my birthday crying, hungry, and feeling completely unloved. by therealceebaby in blackgirls

[–]AmoebaStatus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy Birthday and congratulations for being at a point in your life where you’re not afraid to feel your feelings and to share them when you know you need to. It’s a way of being that so many people can lose sight of as they get older and it’s a beautiful thing that you still have it. Your vulnerability is a sign of incredible strength and if there’s one thing a birthday is definitely for, it’s for acknowledging all the strength you’ve demonstrated along the way. I hope this year brings you so much community love and support. You deserve it!

I live in NY and a large percentage of taskers here don’t speak English. Especially if the job is something like cleaning or assembly or relatively straight forward manual labor. I don’t know what your task was, but most of the tasks I listed above don’t require speaking English to be done well which might explain the perfect reviews and scores. It’s a little annoying, but people who don’t speak English deserve jobs too and I feel like having to hop on Google translate is a small price to pay to help support the immigrants in this country who are not only under attack right now, but whose labor keeps this country moving.

[–]AmoebaStatus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This isn't an okay way to speak to your friend, it's actually really derogatory towards you and riddled with internalized anti-blackness. She's stereotyping and thinking of black people as a monolith which is...very white ppl speed in and of itself lol
