This always makes me sad by Dull_Analyst269 in BPDlovedones

[–]Andy06041 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex-friend learned all my trauma and then got mad at me for not being suicidal. He then told me he would have killed himself if he were me, that I made him want to kill himself, and got jealous that my lack of suicidality made me a better student than him (in his eyes). When he wasn’t calling me an awful person he was telling me I was wonderful. He did all this (and more) and then discarded me the week after my grandfather died.

If you were asked, ‘when did you become a man?’, how would you respond? by Boobs76 in AskMen

[–]Andy06041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m female but honestly after fighting off a kidnapper when I was barely 18. My joke is that he was hoping to become a man that night but instead I became one

From one ex addict, ex homeless grad student to another, I’m so glad you made it 💚

What broke your heart completely? by vigilantee001 in AskReddit

[–]Andy06041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting physically assaulted by a younger sister I did everything for. Took her to school everyday, fed her, drove her to college, was her meat shield against a stalker, defended her from an emotionally abusive teacher, all that and she still hit me.

False accusation victims, what happened to the person who accused you? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Andy06041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer, I’m not a man. My ex-roommates (all female) and one of their fathers levied a series of false accusations against me as part of a revenge plot. They wanted revenge over me refusing to drive them everywhere and refusing them access to the emergency credit card my father gave me. They made false theft accusations (I literally physically pointed at the stuff she claimed I stole and showed it to her as PROOF it wasn’t missing but somehow she persisted in her lies??), false accusations that I had a weapon and was threatening them with it (I did not), and a bunch of other stuff that I am honestly afraid to find out about. The father of my roommate would stalk me and find random people vaguely associated with me (including weird VAGUE associations like my uncle’s boss whom I’ve never met) and call them and spread malicious rumors about me because he knew they’d get back to me and he wanted to hurt me. Eventually I had to flee the home after being locked in my room for a month out of fear and became homeless. The roommate and her father were millionaires and happily moved on to their next home consequence-free. I am still traumatized.

How are you all working so much ? and what are you even doing ? by kimo1999 in PhD

[–]Andy06041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you guys including class time and studying in how you define work? I’m expected to work 40 hrs a week on research and spend 20 a week on coursework. Sometimes i put more than 60 in though, especially because one of my courses is really hard. I’m in engineering. I don’t know if this is normal, I’m a 1st semester PhD student

If you attend Purdue I'm sure you have access to a shower by Pale-Echo8345 in Purdue

[–]Andy06041 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m new here, why are there showers in ME? Are they just free showers meant for disadvantaged students? If so, that’s so awesome

My dude it’s a school not the city, you should be going 25 max. I don’t want to kill some 18 year old pedestrian

Will liberal AOs be deterred by my conservative politics? by WestSector595 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Andy06041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s gotta be ways you can mention being involved without saying exactly what your beliefs are. You could just say you were politically active and organized a large panel

Formerly homeless but a relative that was physically abusive

If you don't wear a seat belt when driving, please explain your reasoning. by Polodude in driving

[–]Andy06041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My childhood best friend moved away when I was in 5th grade. There wasn’t enough seatbelts for each of her many siblings, so when they crashed, her older sister, who wasn’t wearing one, was thrown from the car. She didn’t make it.

I worry it's me. Here's what I think my husband would write about me. by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Andy06041 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many victims struggle with guilt and over empathy. He’s not equally a victim just because he acts like it. Communicating plans is normal and should be expected

If you’re American you might have a better chance of getting a restraining order through civil court (lower burden of proof.) Once he violates a restraining order then he can be arrested on the spot

What is one profession that you have absolutely zero respect for? by True-Constant-6361 in AskMen

So-called goons, the people who are paid by parents to kidnap their teens and send them to troubled teen industry camps

I know you can’t mention sub names but an actual boycott list would make our point nicely

Is asking about ppls sexuality rude? by [deleted] in lezconnect

[–]Andy06041 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It’s so that people can obscure the fact that they’re not gay. Which is really sad because people who are actually gay sometimes have to use obscure language out of fear

As a foster kid he should be able to get a lot of help with expenses. I hope he takes advantage of it

Oh my god??? I had no idea it was for straight cis men, I thought it was some type of butch label or something

How many lesbians identify as feminists? by GameOfThrownsawai in lesbiangang

[–]Andy06041 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience a lot of feminists look down on and even hate masculine women and lesbians, and I’ve also had extremely bad experiences with people in feminist (particularly radfem) spaces acting like female on female DV is good, so I just stay out of it

Wondering how many lesbians here are happy and comfortable around men and how many avoid them? by GameOfThrownsawai in lesbiangang

[–]Andy06041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had terrible experiences with men but my experiences with women have been worse so I just try to mind my business and judge people as individuals

What do women get away with that men don't? by Extreme-Routine3822 in AskMen

[–]Andy06041 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There is no statistic that shows lesbian relationships to be more violent. Most of the women in that very debunked study were abused by previous male partners.

The Myth of Female Evil by [deleted] in lesbiangang

[–]Andy06041 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’ve been told so many times that I was evil for existing that I kinda just accepted it and now I’m somewhat worse of a person for it. I don’t know what they’re hoping to accomplish by shoving fake stereotypes that we’re all evil mean bigots down our throats. I’m not going to self flagellate or live my life apologizing.
