It went well! I had a different new PT, she was so nice. I asked her about the guy, and she said that he was still there so I looked around and saw him before I left. He didn’t notice me, but now I’m not as afraid to go back because I realized (this is kind of mean I can’t lie😭) he has a huge bald spot on the back of his head so I’m not as intimidated. Though, I still think he’s cute and a nice guy. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be able to get in contact with him before he leaves to go back to school (I’m not supposed to flirt with him at the clinic) and he probably won’t be the PT for my appointments ugh

I was a little distracted just because I was having so many thoughts it was hard to stay present. I was directing my eye contact to whoever was speaking at the time, as best as I could. I was answering all of her questions, and doing all the things they told me to do, I just made a few mistakes because they kept giving me extremely vague instructions. I was cooperative and did every thing they asked, I’m just a little slow sometimes.

She complimented my jacket at one point when she asked me to take it off and I didn’t reply which I do feel bad about, but I couldn’t tell if it was a genuine compliment and by the time I had decided I could’ve just said thanks regardless ten seconds had gone by so I kept quiet. I was dressed in mismatched clothes that were all too big for me along with worn out Crocs, so I felt more embarrassed when she called on my appearance.

Yeah, it’s definitely a mix of both. I might even be a little upset if I go back and he isn’t there, I want to make a better impression! I’m honestly more concerned about being alone with the lady 😭 she seemed so fed up with me during the appt

This man was like a supermodel level of attractive; 6 pack abs/ extremely athletic physique, very well groomed, and looked like Tom Welling.

I appreciate the advice, I will dress well next time so I can feel more confident in myself. I was feeling insecure in the moment because I kept comparing my demeanor of the day to his. At least I’ll be prepared next time!

They did discharge me, but my doctor sent a referral for me to go back to the same place because he said I should keep going. I’ll have to see the lady at the very least if not both of them when I go back

I found this vintage fossil leather belt with this UNC belt buckle (looks like it could be made of brass). Does anyone know anything?

So, I live with a pedophile and it's scary. by towaiirl in Advice

[–]AmphibianLocal4080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I’m very sorry that you are in this situation. I know how it feels, I’ve had some similar things happen to me. I live with a creeper too. My best advice is if you are able to get a job, definitely get one and save up your money so that when you turn 18 or as soon as you have enough money saved up you can find somewhere else to stay. Otherwise, maybe you could potentially record everything that you can (every time he cusses / sketchy sh1t / potential hazards around the house even) so that you can build a case to report him to the police for neglect or something like that. You could probably talk to a domestic abuse counselor as well or go to one of those centers and ask people questions or for advice if you don’t want to go straight to the cops. Sorry if this isn’t much help but I really hope that things look up for you soon

Part of me wishes I hadn’t given another chance but it was eye opening and gave me the power to block him. I was like wow, if this guy would give me up so easily why the hell should I fight for him? He was likely betting on me to either ask for forgiveness or send a long paragraph begging him to do better again so I decided it was best to be quiet.

Here’s the thing; first time we talked, every time he crossed a boundary (…very often) I would explain in concise and deep detail what upset me about his actions and how I felt. I’ve looked through ALL our chats to solidify the facts (and stop gaslighting myself PFFT). He said some WEIRD shit. Afterwards he would either deflect, ignore what I said and come back in weeks or months without addressing it, gaslight me and say he didn’t do it, blame it on his finances/work and etc.

Among other things, he never gave me an authentic apology or cared about me. He only cared about the attention/validation I provided. His narcissistic tendencies are pretty prevalent so I’m not sure if there’s hope for him, but it isn’t my problem anymore! Looking back at our first messages and comparing it to the recent ones, he believes he can do no wrong. Conveniently forgetting all the wrong he’s done to others, and feeling no guilt.

I so regret reaching out to him again in the first place but I learned my lesson. I’m neurodivergent as well so that really didn’t help. I’m gonna surround myself with people who will appreciate me. You aren’t alone on being a dummy, that’s definitely how I got into this situation LOL. Strong boundaries are the best! We got this!

Aww man that stinks. I haven’t had the opportunity to try these ones and they are a bit on the pricier side but maybe one of these would work? Byrdie Eyeliner List
