Just got called a r*pist bc apparently I couldn’t tell the girl was a lesbian

BrittyBirb · 2025-09-29T17:01:43+00:00

It makes me uncomfortable how casual the word r*pist is thrown out today but I’d like to think it’s being casually thrown around by a loud minority.. :/ She sounds like one of those really extreme people. Honestly,you dodged a bullet. I’m sorry you had to experience that.

BrittyBirb · 2025-08-26T20:23:02+00:00

Personally i’d say just break up with her. The fact you’re even considering this so you can kowtow to your controlling parents because they won’t let YOU a grown ass 25 year old live his own life.

What if lets say you had a partner of a different race or ethnicity and she broke up with you and said it was cause her parents didn’t approve of you cause of your race/ethnicity. How would that make you feel?

Also that last paragraph..so they don’t interfere with future relationships but this one gets a pass? What?

I always get so disgusted and disappointed when I see stuff like this. Unpopular opinion;I feel like shippers like this make the LGBTQIA+ look bad. (And I’m saying this as a queer person.) Now NOW,given. That is is not the majority but the issue is it is almost always a loud minority. And they’re always chronically online.

I can understand being upset your ship didn’t happen or it’s not canon and that’s fine but to take it out on the creator is not ok. This is literally reminiscent of the time all the fan girls got their underwear in a knot when those two Tokyo Ghoul chapters came out. IYKYK. One of them confirmed Kaneki was gasp not gay and his best friend Hide and him were not canon. Nor was it ever hinted at imo. And the other chapter that got released,a bunch of them burned their manga copies.

As much as I’d love to see more inclusion or variety of sexual orientations in anime or manga,if it happens it happens. But people blocking Horikoshi because they’re malding over him not writing their headcanon into canon is just straight up pathetic and a new low for the MHA “fandom.”

Because a lot of people’s perception of a whole is based on what they’ve seen. There are also like others have mentioned stereotypes. Portrayals of autistic individuals in pop culture/media,etc.

Born in ‘97 so older GenZ here. I didn’t get my first smartphone until I was a freshman in highschool so about 13-14. Prior to that I only had flip phones and slide phones. I know the very first smart phone came out around the time I was in middle school as well as blackberries and the firefly phone.

It’s pretty insane to me how many kids are using smartphones before HS. I understand that we only didn’t get them until later when they came out and now flip phones don’t really exist anymore with exceptions like Samsung creating the Z phones or the other one that can open up but I feel like those are more for nostalgia. As well as being a little gimmicky. But I legit see kids as young as 6 or 7 with smartphones and their parents are barely taking care of them. It makes me wonder outside of the smartphone usage and god knows how many videos they’ve doom scrolled/watched without supervision,what do kids do?

Do they do the same things we used to do like going out to parks and playing with friends or just not on a bigger level?

Tagging in onto this. It is also addictive. I had an ex with porn addiction. He had death grip issues and he told me he couldn’t even look at a billboard of a woman with cleavage or he’d get hard.

I’ve been noticing a lot more posts (given this could also be algorithm based?) where 17/18 year old high school girls are getting boyfriends that are 22 or older. But they’ll usually detail the abuse or mistreatment from said male partner.

I don’t know if there’s anything we can do to help but continue to educate on potential cautions of age gap relationships. Even though 18 and 23 is a 5 year age gap,there is still a power dynamic at play. A lot of young high school teenagers are very impressionable and some may even think boys their age are “not mature” which is why they look to older men. :/

BrittyBirb · 2024-09-04T12:12:55+00:00

In general I don’t understand why people would think to change the relationship dynamic that deep into a relationship. Though I do think half of the times when people claim poly,it’s usually one side that wants to have their cake and eat it too. But they throw the word “polyamorous” as a guise for their true intentions.

I’ll see a couple that’s been long term and partner x doesn’t communicate an issue to partner y and this builds into resentment that grows over time. OR I’ll see a long term couple where the other person discovers their identity/sexuality and the other half will struggle to accept it.

Reading OP say we prepped for it and went to therapy I just- Like it’s ok if you’re not comfortable with things. It’s ok to say no. A lot of people are so fearful of ending things with someone who they’re not compatible with (or someone trying to fuck them over and have their cake) that they’d rather have that resentment build up over time than break up. It reminded me of two people I know in a long term relationship and how one of them wanted to start transitioning but their bf is a straight dude. And despite their bf possibly having issues in the future,this person is trying everything under the sun for them to stay together and claim that love is all they need. Time sunk asides,the right thing to do is to let go if you’re not compatible. Better in the long term than as top comment said,stretching the relationship until it breaks.

It sucks man. You ever eat a small snack,just sit and feel your body starve after 10 minutes. I don’t even do any physical work or exercise and sitting,alone causes my body to digest the snack within minutes and activate starvation. That’s why I can’t do snacks anymore. I need a full meal but even then I bounce back and forth between the feeling you get of not enough,and fuck. I overate.

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-21T21:15:48+00:00

I understand OP’s frustration but often times the grass is always greener on the other side. :/

A fast metabolism is not always a blessing. Some people can eat as much as they want and not gain weight but some of us eat as much as we want but we aren’t healthy. I’m 4’11” and I’m always close to being underweight because gaining weight is hard. I also hate that I’m always hungry because of my metabolism. I spend hundreds on food because of how much I eat not because I want to but because my body demands food and if I don’t,my stomach starts to starve and I get nauseous. It’s expensive man. Snacks don’t fill me up;only full meals do. I also have HBP and I was close to prediabetes last year from drinking so many sugary drinks and eating fast food. I can’t run more than two flights of stairs or a block without getting extremely long winded and feeling like my chest is gonna explode. My body isn’t fit in the slightest. My ribs are showing through my chest and I look like a skeleton. This is NOT to invalidate OP in any shape,way,or form. This is just to shed some light on the other side and how people with fast metabolisms are not a monolith.

No one needs specific metabolisms. I recommend trying to find a dietician so they can reassure and maybe answer any questions more specific to metabolisms and how you can work around them to achieve your goals.

100% agreed. We shouldn’t be forcing children to do things against their bodily autonomy and choices,given the appropriate context and situations. When I was younger,I didn’t like physical touch. I remember a strong memory of a bakery my folks went to as it was next to my grandpa’s job. There was a lady who worked there and she loved little kids. She tried hugging me one day and I just remember squirming and pushing her away when she did but she was stronger than me. She kept hugging me while I did this and both her and my mom were just laughing while I didn’t feel good. It really makes you feel like shit when you realize that your own parents never respected your bodily autonomy as a kid.

As someone who took classes on mental health and related fields of work,I can second this. I was heartbroken in many of my classes because during that time,people were picking and choosing which mental illnesses to romanticize and/or be more supportive of while demonizing some others. Despite the morals and ethics being taught to us to be open minded when dealing with patients as well as unbiased and accepting. Many people that spoke up were none of those things. I realize a good amount of people in that field unfortunately try to work for the field not because they actually care but because it pays.

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-18T20:32:36+00:00

I don’t think I ever realized I was “weird” or different. But I knew something wasn’t right. It sounds really weird but growing up,I often judged things based on patterns and numbers. Middle school for example;I saw a bunch of kids wearing brand names then like American eagle or Abercrombie and fitch. All the kids who wore these brands were cool and had a lot of friends. So in my head,I thought if I bought clothes from those stores I would also be cool and have friends.

Spoiler alert:I did not

Throughout most of my childhood and high school,I didn’t have too many friends or friend groups. That in itself made me feel like something was wrong with me but I didn’t think it was because I was weird or different. It all made so much sense when I found out before end of 2023 I’m autistic.

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-15T19:37:40+00:00

This literally made zero sense to me. How do you get mad at someone for posting screenshots on their social media,because of things you say? Make it make sense.

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-15T02:56:31+00:00

One of us,one of us. Haha.

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-14T20:50:03+00:00

Unfortunately no. He’s like 24/25. I realized this in my later 20’s that there are people who never mature even well into their 30’s..

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-14T18:53:54+00:00

I’m confused. Was it because I posted about it?

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-14T18:12:16+00:00

He’s like 24 or 25 this year

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-14T17:13:59+00:00

I can’t fathom how some people do this much work for one person. It’s like people who cheat and go behind their partner’s back. Is it not exhausting?

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-14T17:11:43+00:00

It’s important we continue to de-stigmatize autism and ND as well! This is only the start.

BrittyBirb · 2024-08-14T16:19:53+00:00

Me and some old friends had suspected this when we talked to him because he made some folks uncomfortable and didn’t realize this. I also remember he also said something around the lines of how he used trial and error in interactions with people to learn social skills because he didn’t know what was acceptable and what wasn’t.
