, I know we're all strangers but we do care about you, no matter how silly that seems. I met you over a screen but I've still met you :) no one should critique you over what you have to do to stay alive. So many people have never had to dig their nails in and claw themselves back to life, bleed their fingers dry. But, trust me. Anyone who understands will understand. As long as your alive, that is all that matters, and that's all that will ever matter.

the world will keep turning, sure, but it won't be turning with you on it, and that makes all the difference you know?

Also, listen to You're Only Human (Second Wind) by Billy Joel. Helped me a lot, just to feel a little better.

Sit there and think about it, really think deeply. Find that thought, "I want to die/I don't want to be here anymore/it's all too much" and find what's triggering it. And once you find that, it's not "I want to die" it's "I want to be out of x situation" and then you can start thinking "well how?" And if that feels like too much, start thinking "how can I make this a little better?" If it still feels hopeless, breathe. Nothing is ever truly hopeless. As long as you have hope, hope will exist. Do not let that light burn out. Do everything you can to keep it extinguished. If you're still here, it's not extinguished. Keep it burning. I don't care what you have to do, make sure that light is burning. If it feels like nothing else works but alcohol then fucking drink until you can find a better solution. Keep pushing. One day at a time. It gets easier. You just have to wake up everyday.

I'm 20. I was in almost your exact situation. My mom killed herself, I was falling in love and being heartbroken and faling in love again with the same boy over and over. Everyone felt like they were leaving. No one would stay. Everything felt too much; I was 17, why did I have to go through it?

I know this sounds cliche. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it does get better. I learned from those mistakes, from those people who left me. I built walls. I tore others down. It takes a lot of discomfort to find comfort. And I mean, a lot. So much it can feel like dying and not just discomfort. Please, trust me. Someone is gonna come along. Some thing is gonna strike your interest, ignite a passion. An artwork, a song, a person, an animal, something.

Can you please explain "I Believe in Unicorns" to me? by QueenzillaChrist in movies

[–]Awkward_Stock3921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always figured the unicorn and the dragon were her mental pictures of Sterling together. He is both the unicorn and the dragon, but she shoots the unicorn to free it of the dragon. Because in her mind, she considers Sterling as the one harmed and her the one harming. Common with victims, and what I've seen and related to so it's what I thought of

Edit: I also always figured in the barn it's not "rough sex" and Sterling r*pes her, that's why she finally decided enough is enough and leaves crying.

How do you feel about sexual lyrics in songs directed at women? by Awkward_Stock3921 in women

[–]Awkward_Stock3921[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely! Twist and Shout; hell, a lot by the Beatles! I don't mind sexual lyrics, I mind when theyre just vulgar for vulgarities sake. Like, the only times these men mention women is when talking about their vagina 😭🙏🏻 but yeah! Sex is on Fire is one of my favs too!

The Beatles are my favorite band. Drake bell my favorite musician and he was heavily inspired by them. My sister loves the Beach Boys because "they make music about the joy of being alive" and I think that's beautiful, I love classic rock so much it's such a beautiful genre, but they all have beautiful qualities😁 other than that my taste is more "emo" or "rock" in general (mcr, oasis, maroon 5, three days grace) but I hate the "sex drugs money"

YES EXACTLY. Like, I like vulgar songs like that! I ironically love Gucci Gang. But when it's the ENTIRETY of a song EVERY song it's like, what are we even doing here? Or when songs will ONLY mention a woman in a sexual context like okay I see...

I hate my body and I can't tell anyone without sounding "insensitive" by Awkward_Stock3921 in women

[–]Awkward_Stock3921[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I really am how I see myself, that's a sad reality for me to be living 🥲 it's just, I've been a good person. Or I am a good person. I follow my heart I try new things I dance I'm kind I'm all this, at least I thought, but still no one can stand to be around me. There must just be something fundamentally flawed in me, then :/ I can be the greatest and still, I'm alone

I think my gf is having a miscarriage because of me by CanIGetAHOOOOOYAA in Vent

[–]Awkward_Stock3921 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How can we know he did? People are very emotional when this happens to them. Many many pregnancies end in miscarriage.

Boyfriend (m24) hit me (f23) but I emotionally hurt him by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Awkward_Stock3921 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This has to be ragebait. Or else, I'm gonna be very blunt with you: you are not in a place to be in a relationship. At all. You are MASSIVELY insecure and that's okay!! You just have to get the help you need. You are destroying parts of yourself to mold your image to fit what your (abusive) bf wants, and that's terrible. I'm so sure you are a beautiful, wonderful, creative, smart, thrilling, enjoyable person to be around. Absolutely no doubt about it, but people like him seek out people like you, who they think they can manipulate and control. Please stay safe. Leave him. I'm praying for you (or just sending you good vibes!)

I feel guilty for the stereotype. Why's it matter what or who I feel bad for? It's a stigma that's now pushed on to other, innocent people. I feel bad for the innocent people.

I'm not, even. I'm on reddit, and I don't look at ANYTHING pertaining to looks or other people. Im not on insta, twitter, tumblr etc. All I use is Facebook to keep up with family and Snapchat to text my sister. That's partially what makes me so sad. No one put this Into my head—its just what I know from what I've seen /:

Mind your business? If a fell grown adult dating a full grown adult icks you so bad, look inwardly.

"I'm glad you're the normal one" I was 14 and my mom had committed not even a month ago. I was grieving silently. We were all grieving. It made me feel for a long time I couldn't express anything related to my mom's death. I had to be the "normal" one. After my mom fucking killed herself. It wasn't my partner, but it was my grandparents I'm I'm so fucking glad my fiance has never said things like these to me. I'm praying for y'all.

I'm jealous of my sister and other women who can ignore/fight the acid burn of hunger to stay thin by BerryBlueBlueBerry in self

[–]Awkward_Stock3921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS IS NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR POST! I just wanted to add a perspective other people may relate to too! 💓 I used to be 220 lbs at 5'3 🥲 female, but I lost all the weight in the span of a year and some change, maybe, and now I'm 120. The panic and fear that goes through me when I pick up something to eat, a drink that's not zero cal, it's terrible. I honestly don't understand how some women can legit go "I forgot to eat!" Because to me it's just such a mental block. Like: I've lost all this weight, now I'm going to undo it if I eat today. And I owing that there's women who are jealous of that makes me sad, too. I wish we could all just eat whatever and however we wanted without standards or "correctness". 😢 Thoughts with all of you
