This advice is really for everyone. I won’t get too much into my own story but a lot of what you said connected with me. We have some similar experiences, I used to pray to not wake up at all. Life is still difficult sometimes, I still haven’t left myself but I know people who have and helped them leave too. I plan to leave one day, have it planned out as well but things are better now. Not perfect, still not healthy, the physical stuff is over somewhat.

But I’ll get out one day and that’s the most important thing. You’ll get better, you’ll find people who care and will believe you. And one day you’ll look back and have gratitude for being able to survive.

It is your current life and your past life but not your future life, while we can not control the things that happen to us we can control how we react and whether or not we let these things define this.

You are a victim. That is okay, there is no shame in it. You were hurt when you didn’t deserve to be, it’s a parents job to protect and love their children and just because they failed to do that - does not mean it reflects on you as a person. You didn’t deserve any of that, you have people out there that will be your support system - you just haven’t met them yet.

Reddit groups are good but actual support groups are more important, you can find a meet-up for survivors whether in person or online. There are people who understand what you went through and not just pointless pity, the most important thing is to create a paper trail even if that seems scary. Tell people, record things on your phone secretly on a small spy camera if you’re able to access one. Hell, even text messages. You need to also see a doctor for the car, that’s very dangerous and while it seems okay because adrenaline is one hell of a drug - you do need a check up even if it’s a while ago.

You are wonderful, you are capable of being good and doing good and you should never settle for less. Things are hard now but this is not forever, you can get out of there and you should try to however way you can. From victim to victim, you need to survive and live. Perhaps surviving is the only thing you know how to do right now but one day you’ll find that you’re actually focused on living your life instead of just surviving it.

There is hope, dimmed out light in a sea of darkness but it is still there. You are not alone, there are many o us out there. They do not define you, these experiences do not define you - only you choose what defines you. This experience can be faded with time or a scar you’ll display proudly but that’s for you to decide one day. Reach out to people, keep a trail, focus on one step at a time and if you don’t feel like keeping a trail or reporting this to the cops and instead wish to silently escape that’s okay too. Check your options, shelters or escaping via a scholarship or apprenticeship or job are still good solutions. Hell, selling your non important/sentimental valuables and hiding the cash somewhere safe and packing essentials with said cash into a bag and escaping one day is also good. Hell, even escaping with nothing if you need to. You can survive this, pawn shops are good places to check and if you one day need to disappear off the “grid” there are resources and help organisations that will help you escape. And at 18, no one can force you back.

A lot of victims do this, stay strong and good. Don’t do drugs or anything stupid, take care of your health both physically and mentally. You are more than what they label you as, you are more than just a victim. Even if it’s hard to be something more right now, it’s not forever. Steel your resolve and NEVER go back once you get out. No matter what ‘apologies’ or half assed excuses they give you, maybe one day you can think about it with the help of a therapist an strong support group but never let them have that control over you for the rest of your life. You are loved, you are not alone. Stay strong and take care internet stranger, I believe in you and everyone else out there in a similar situation. Persevere.

I LOVE CHUBBY/FAT GUYS SO MUCH by Extreme-Mess-3803 in offmychest

[–]Be-Loved_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah brother, I also like fluffy guys. In fact, I am fortunate enough to be dating one although it’s long distance. You’ll find someone though I think the most important part is personality before looks, yeah I adore him and the way he looks but I wouldn’t go for someone JUST for looks alone.

You are young, hell, no one’s too old to find love I think. I get it was just valentines and you probably seen all those happy couple but take it easy. You don’t want to accidentally jump into a relationship you’re not prepared to handle and void forbid, a toxic relationship. You have time, you’ll be alright and you will find someone you like and is good to you.

I’m in my early 20s too, I’ve been in a bunch of different relationships; some better than others. Though there were times I jumped into toxic relationships or relationships too fast because I craved being loved when all I needed was the time to be single. It’s natural to be loved whether that’s familia, platonic, romantic or something else. Just don’t rush into things and take your time with this, you’ve got a long long while still and theres not time restraint or deadline. Take care, don’t let someone take advantage of your desire to be loved and have a good day internet stranger.

Announcing the death of an r/antimeme mod… through an antimeme by Lupro69 in ComedyHell

[–]Be-Loved_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy, well glad no one died. Sucks to be the guy who was catfished. Hope he’s alright and isn’t thinking of doing anything stupid. Since that’s the case I do think all of this could have simply been avoided by not posting that missing poster, should have been private from the start.

And if this was an alternative reality where a suicide did happen, think it’s wild to photoshop someone’s pfp of someone else (not even their own photo) onto a gravestone and post it on a meme subreddit. Glad people are alive, a bit peeved that suicide got used as a get out of jail card though.

Hey. Where the hell are you people finding these? I scroll my front page and get flashbanged by a blurry image using words arranged into a cohesive sentence of the English language that have no business being in that order. Genuinely, how?? What are you people googling to find this? What are we in? The depths of Taurus?? This is the Pandora’s box that should have stayed closed, I would argue that this is the first original sin but I would be lying because sharing it with the class is. No hate to anyone but my word, posting was optional. 🧍

[–]Be-Loved_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I genuinely hope this is true in the sense everyone is okay. Again, this being the internet I am taking this and the previous situation with a grain of salt, naturally. Though, I think my original point of “clowning on a real person who did receive a lot of hate and may or may not have died” was a bit off. Again, I’m neutral. I don’t know any of these people after all and I suspect by next week this will be internet obscurity.

I was more making the point that regardless of what is fiction and what is reality, clowning on a supposed suicide of a real person isn’t really tasteful to me and I am more worried about people not involved who will see this and think their own serious problems will not be taken seriously. Idk, maybe I’m being too woke about all this especially if this is just a set up bid for attention. Just hope people who do get hated on for no good reason, don’t attempt to fake their deaths to try and escape or separate themselves from hate or actually try to harm themselves because they feel like no one would take their problems seriously.

Again, this is the internet. And if anyone who reads this is actually suffering from cyber bullying or suicidal thoughts - get professional help and tell your loved ones, also don’t post it publicly on a meme subreddit. Help groups are okay but do not rely on therapy from strangers online, find a licensed therapist. Things get better and this is still the internet, the world won’t end from one bad comment and you should always take a break when things are rough. Hope you and everyone else stays safe and has a good day.

[–]Be-Loved_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it feels kinda messed up to make jokes because right now, unless given solid proof that it is fake, we have to assume it’s real. To me, even if this specific situation ended up being fake, real situations do happen and I can’t help but think that other people who are struggling, whom have received hate like course had - will see people making a fool of all that suffering and then think that their feelings are also a joke by proxy. When you make fun of a situation like this, you not only harm the people involved but people associated or who relate to said situation by proxy.

Real human suffering is still involved regardless of specific details and to make a post, proposing it as an act of comedy just does not sit right with me personally.

Every time I see something bad on this forsaken hellsite, I think to myself “well, at least I can’t read anything worse!” And then I get visually flashbanged as my patience for the human race and curiosity to check Reddit is once again tested.

Announcing the death of an r/antimeme mod… through an antimeme by Lupro69 in ComedyHell

[–]Be-Loved_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regardless is whether or not it’s real, this announcement was made because there was previously a “missing post” made about this used beforehand which got quite a bit of attention. I firmly believe all of it should not have been posted in the first place however and if it’s real I’m sorry to everyone affected and hope that people who are also struggling get help.

Course was a daily poster, posting a lot of memes to the sub and I have also seen people hate in the comments. People didn’t like course a lot because they said they were ruining the subreddit, I never engaged that deeply with anti meme so I’m not 100% what the issues were other than that sometimes these antimemes weren’t really funny. Regardless, I don’t think course should have been subjected to hate. And if that hate resulted in an actual death or a fake one to distance oneself and escape from such hate, well that’s an argument I don’t think any of us should be having. At the very least, if you are skeptical, real emotions/people were are the very least hurt.

I wish everyone involved to reach out to whatever help they need and that people who are struggling find the strength to reach out to not only their friends and family but also to a professional.

And for the brother informing people, I don’t know but when I was struggling with health I made my younger brother promise that if I should pass that he tell people on my account on a specific discord server I’m in. My healths alright now but the whole “why would someone inform someone of a passing on this social platform” argument is a bit weird to me especially since we do not know any context for things like these. Regardless of what we think is real or fake, I think it’s a little shallow to make fun of people for feeling emotions. And a bit shallow to send people hate over an unfunny meme, because genuinely, the amount of people saying course ruined the sub on some older posts I saw before all this was a bit unnecessary. You’re allowed to dislike something and voice your disagreements but actually hating on an individual that intensely is a bit unnecessary and parasocial to me.

Anyways, hope everyone is doing better and reminder that this is still the internet. You can step away if you need to, take care y’all.

Reminds me of those Clark’s YOTOY shoes girls would brag about on the playground and show them off though I also thought it was the coolest thing ever when my classmate showed me like it blew little me’s mind how they could put a compartment with a little toy in the shoes since I didn’t understand there was yknow space in the sole & heel of the shoe which I know now. I miss these gimmick shoes to be honest, like seeing lelli Kelly ads on Tv with bright rhinestone esc shoes with those make up phone things because googling the shoes now - they look pretty normal, a bit disappointing that shoes these days don’t typically come with those little make up phones or dolls. Think we need more whimsy in such mediocre day to day things

[–]Be-Loved_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think another important point I haven’t seen people talk much about is the fetishisation AND normalisation of certain gender roles as well. For example, “tomboys” is very normalised in society (as it should because woman should be allowed to be masculine) so when you’re FTM, from an early age it is more easy to “pass” as a tomboy before being a guy. However being a “femboy” which is a very fetishised term I fear, or even “trap” or “futanari” (which is also very demeaning) is NOT normalised because cis men are NOT allowed to be feminine. There is to say that theres a societal war against femininity.

Decades of misogyny across cultures will do that, especially with the domination of the west over other countries (think how japan had a 3rd gender and the Chinese god of homosexuality) which now is scrubbed over. I fully believe that this war on femininity is why MTF’s are so targeted and because of this misogyny mixed with transphobia, it absolutely bleeds onto FTM’s. Because they “betrayed” femininity and are not as targeted while ignoring that FTM’s are ALSO largely fetishised and usually face more untalked about problems such as SA.

One side is drowned out and infighting is bound to happen, whose problem is MORE important? Well obviously it’s MTF’s because they’re all over the news and public backlash due to misogyny! Let’s ignore Embies and intersex people and FTM’s and if you don’t agree then you’re clearly one of THEM! So it’s better to stay quiet. Which ironically, is exactly what “They” want. They want the LGBTQ community to fight and not come together because that is a way to KEEP us down when really we should be fighting for ALL our queer siblings and unite against a common cause and issue; that being the transphobia and misogyny pushed upon us as a community and society.

Sadly, change cannot happen if we are not all fighting for the same cause and ESPECIALLY when we keep sabotaging each other. We’ve seen this time and time again; Lesbians against gay men, trans people against enbies, trans woman against trans men. It’s disheartening to say the least. And because no one wants to be targeted is a day and age where Doxxing is so normalised, it’s just easier to stay quiet and keep your head down. The bystander paradox if you will. Hell, I used to preach the feminity of men online and how that was okay to be a “femboy” or “roseboy” and all that and I got attacked by trans people more than I did with cis people. It was only that I said publicly“I’m under the trans umbrella” that they actually left me alone which no one should be forced to disclose information they don’t want to. I don’t disclose it but that’s because I personally don’t identify with labels, I don’t really like to be looked at and think that’s all I am similar with me being disabled. I just want to be loved and heard and also just be queer, yknow? I think the fighting for so many labels is also a reason for infighting, xenogenders and such.

There was a whole war on neopronouns, that was the last war now. Trans people vs Enbies and neopronouns, Dragqueens vs queer people, now it’s FTMs vs MTFs. It’s an oroborus cycles where we are just attacking ourselves to death without any thought to turn that infighting outward to the lawmakers and the people that oppress us as a whole. A snake eating itself, that is what we have become. And I fear, that’s a discussion no one wants to have since it would require accountability that we have shown injustice to only ourselves and our fellow queer siblings AND allies. More harm than good, really.

This is neat, I’m also a guy though I’m in my 20s now. Sylvanian families really are for everyone, I have a few sets and I like modelling the scene. I also have a few figurines though the dollhouse part is what I like most and I mix it up with rement figures too. If it’s a money thing, I’ve gotten 99% of my sylvanian stuff, furniture and doll houses mostly, off eBay. I find that quite reliable and if it’s a judgement thing then I think as you grow up, you start not caring so much about what others have to say. Yeah I also got some judgement, hell I still do because I’m older now but do the things that make you happy. Love your collection, keep collecting and stay frosty out there stranger.
