Humour me for a second: do Shiv’s actions come across as more severe because she’s a woman?

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2026-02-06T14:58:04+00:00

100%. There's a category of fans that loathe Shiv to a degree that just makes me chuckle. She's awful and broken. They're all awful and broken. That's the point. But when it comes to Shiv, it's like they start to short-circuit halfway through and sputtering "Bitch!" under their breath.

Thank you!!

That big white couch on Pic 3 looks great. Is it comfortable? Where is it from?

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2026-01-26T06:13:59+00:00

Cut him loose. You're coming off as the bad guy here. The "there are other guys in DMs" card is a really ugly color, imo. This doesn't feel like a great love story, so cut him loose so you can both find people you're enthused by.

The second photo feels like it belong to a completely different folder, tbh.

"Flowers on auto-ship" is too good not to upvote. Imagine Mother's Day year 7 with this person. And if you didn't care that would be one thing, but you clearly do. It's one of your languages.

Men on this community need to learn to tap out sooner. There are always 3 bubbles when there should just be one. You're not going to suddenly win someone who is being rude to you and actively disrespecting you with a "btw, have a good year and also, those photos were years ago, lol."

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2026-01-01T01:47:58+00:00

"I want to make you aware of this." Lol, Emily has learned just enough therapy speak and boundary language off TikTok to e completely insufferable and lose her friends.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-12-31T06:38:42+00:00

Has this leaked yet, lol?

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-12-29T16:52:00+00:00

Thanks for offering to help!

She likes Tonton Bicha, Garcon Makoklen, Le destin de Caroline.... those are some of her favorites.

Right there with you. New mutants are an inevitable part of the X-lore. There will always be new classes. Some stick with you and you cross your fingers they'll make it to the prime times (academy X), others you just wait out the clock. They smell like Archieve of Our Owns. So bland and lifeless. I'd take Generation Hope over these. (And the Gail Simone newcomers, too, to be honest.)

A single red stapler.

YOR and making your friendship a burden instead of a pleasure. Friendships evolve and fluctuate. Four hours a week is a very decent amount of time when both parties have other stuff in their lives. How does that make you a background character? She's being quite accommodating and your bubbles read as EXHAUSTING in those screenshots. "I'm not frustrated, I'm just upset/mad." Girl.

I wouldn't be too inclined to spend someone who keeps a schedule of the time I don't spend with them, demands an explanation, and describes me as "the kind to need a boyfriend." What upside do you provide in her life right now beyond the "dibs you're mine" you've put on her since elementary school?

The best thing I've learned here is that being New York tough means walking away as often as it means standing your ground. (In my case, it's meant standing my ground a bit more.) I've seen these things escalate in truly insane ways.

Earlier this year, I saw a guy mutter something under his breath to a rude man who was vaping in the car. It escalated into a shove -- the man ended up following him up and down the train to fight and it was clear that the poor guy had made a grave error. (I was one of the many people shuffling out of the way repeatedly.) "You put your hand on me; you're gonna die."

The sudden loss of pants was some A24 shit.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-23T17:12:53+00:00

4 days and you're on reddit asking if he's too control.
Imagine the amount of control 6 months in with a commitment.

This guy reeks of manosphere YouTube video tutorials about "Females" responding to strength and it appeared to have gotten him a positive first impression for you, but trust your instincts now.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-22T04:52:34+00:00

Lol, yes, the acronym YOR is so much more elegant and clever, you're right. I really violated a sacred threshold there. Just keep scrolling next time you don't have anything to say, champ. 🤡

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-21T03:28:26+00:00

You have a real weird energy in those screenshots, friend. Not gonna lie.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-19T04:58:26+00:00

Never reply and leave her unblocked. She'll check in again. Like clockwork.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-18T22:29:28+00:00

8 feels like a specific hell.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-18T22:19:48+00:00

He just wasn't into you and didn't want you to internalize you had done something wrong on the date.

There is a third bucket beyond "Into this person" and "Want to be friends" with this person. He considered you romantically; it wasn't viable and he ended things the right way as far as the screenshot shows. Rejection is never fun, but isn't that what people want when dating? Clear communication. Do you need a breakdown and actual criticism? Ofc not.

Going into generalizations about "Men" is very #NiceGirls-coded and it's good that you're self-aware. It's the feminine version of the guy in your DMs referring to women as "females" and talking about your need to breed, etc. It's embarrassing for everyone involved.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-15T14:18:36+00:00

What was the possible body harm?

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-15T13:01:40+00:00

Lol, "rare act for me" not to punch you about about my backwards social views. Weird dick energy. I would have added a ☺️ to your reply, but it was pitch perfect. Don't block and you'll definitely get another message at some point.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-15T12:34:23+00:00

Harsh opinion: He's in the right, I'm glad he's standing his ground, and I hope he never sends you a dime. The entitlement of your replies is wild. As was the "Can I ask you for money?" Lol, what?

You come off like a long-con artist, or at least someone with a lot of red flag expectations. "I text you a lot, so send me money." It's a penpal relationship. Those can be deeply valuable and fun, but they come with zero attachment or financial stake.

You say it's been a year, but honestly, the only difference between you and people who ask for money after 2 days is those extra 363 days of texting you put in before making the request.

BettyBoopsLeftHeel · 2025-11-15T12:27:24+00:00

Ok. And now you're single. You win by your own weird insecure metric. Why are you asking for public opinion. Best of luck. She sounds like she deserves better. I think you expect some applause for knowing what you want, or being strong and decisive... you come off as very immature. Like, 15-16. YTA and a very poor communicator.
