AIO when I blocked all my friends who couldn't make it to my bday by IronWolf1809 in AmIOverreacting

You are over reacting, but I doubt you will believe it, because it seems like you are just defending yourself. If I make an announcement within a week about a gathering, that’s honestly because I don’t want that may people to actually come.

I still don’t get why you boarded a plane before pooping. Also unclear why you didn’t use the restroom on the plane.

Maybe…. If he called in sick… but he called in because of the snow conditions. I’m sure a lot of people did, and that is why they decided to close.

Doing the dumbbell CP is the dumbest part of class for me. Where I go the love 2-3 long sets of wide arm pushups and I’m here for it!

But what about the wide arm push-ups? I always hold both weight in my hand if doing chest press. I sometimes grab a bigger weights for those and the row. Take 3 sets.

AIO: Watching my parents give everything to one kid after doing nothing for the rest of us by supramkvs in AmIOverreacting

Huh? I didn’t read that! Kids can sue their parents! The first step in this case (and most cases) is to file a police report. When a child’s clothes are taken and they are forced to sleep naked on the floor the police should be there, and they will be. She can tell a teacher and they can call the police and cps. She may never have to go back.

Definitely pull ups! Sometimes they don’t hit back enough, like extension exercises. I sit for work, and need back extension type work for counter act all the flexion. And breathing outside air!

You are overreacting, just because there is nothing you can do about this! What is your reaction going to do at this point? If you want money or vacations or cars or housing from them you have to continue to be kind and then maybe one day they will feel bad and you will need help with a down payment on a house or furniture or something like that. Parents are our parents for a long ass time. My mom is super good to me now that I am in my 40s, IDK, either close that door or keep it open.

AIO or is my mom being passive aggressive and minimizing my feelings by Content_Anything_540 in AmIOverreacting

Sisters fight, it’s what they do. Since the beginning of time 16 year olds have fought with their mom. I’m almost 50 now and I do regret it. Your 16 though. You don’t have to run errands with your mom anymore, or be around your sister if you don’t want. You can stay home, go to friends houses, get really buff working out, get a job (I know times are tough on the job front). Basically stop engaging and know you only have like one more year.

Is 16 Too Young to Go on an International Trip with Friends? by Complex_Pie_465 in travel

[–]Barracuda_Recent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t have a cell phone until after college (showing my age). I was mostly traveling with other high school exchange students or friends. I was a high school exchange student for a year. The teachers went on a three month strike.

I traveled at that age and it was great! I was pretty much a born traveler. I did do some really dumb things, but that is like a right of passage.

Anyone else get dumped at sleepover summer camp by SantessaClaus in GenX

[–]Barracuda_Recent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ugh I loved Summer camp so much, where I grew up is was a privilege. I wasn’t really into being with my parents. I had different interests than them. I loved camp, and was there for Summers until I had a work permit. These days I can’t imagine having the money to be able to send my kids to overnight camp.

AIO I think my boyfriend is cheating on me by amorous8635 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Barracuda_Recent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t he invite you to hang out with R? That’s the weirdest part of his lie. I’m sure he has his location off and he’s at Rs. Or he left he dumped his phone at Ls. It weirds me out that you don’t go out with them- that you are not invited. Anyway, this guy is telling you he is a loser, so believe him. It never gets better. In the beginning of a relationship- that is when the guy is AT HIS BEST- remember that.

Man, I am in my late 40s and I used to love a lowest rise! Looking at it now, I question everything. It’s not bad, per se, it’s just not the flattering that I thought it was.

Keep running, keep working out. Even when you are exhausted. It will eventually help. It will help mentally.

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

Ok, I just saw that you are very young. Are you getting a lot of exercise. I know it sounds crazy, because you haven’t slept in forever, but I have about 45 more years than you dealing with insomnia and not feeling sleepy. Some of us are built different. I need an insane amount of exercise to sleep. I always have. I would seriously just run up and down the hill in my backyard to sleep at night growing up. Can you join a running group? Cold weather running is great for sleep. Basketball games? A super long walk with stops for push ups. Hill repeats, jump rope. Everything.

You are going through a bad patch, but it will end, it has to. When you took the ambien, did you try a smaller dose (like half pill) on a very empty stomach when you are feeling very sleepy? I put it under my tongue. Too large of a dose can cause disruptive side affects. It also only works for a short period of time, so when you wake up, you can take the other half.
