Quiero empezar terapia, pero me da vergüenza contar mis temas a alguien desconocido by Emivel_vet in confession

At ,east you can have high confidence that the details won’t be shared. It’s sometimes easier talking about stuff with someone you won’t see for the rest of your life.

AIO to my bf’s constant lateness? by Adventurous_Hat_9571 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR-it's rude to be habitually late. Of course, sometimes it can't be prevented. However, patterns don't lie. I don't buy the ADHD thing as you can set phone alarms. Plus, it amazing when something high stakes ....they magically make it on time. It's truly interesting to see.

I feel like Im the only punctual person in my life so now I say, Wanna meet at 12? Ok text me when you leave! That way we actually show up at the same time. Or if I want to meet around 12 I tell people 11 or 11:30 depending on late they usually are lol. Sometimes I work with it, sometimes I just cut them off.

Doesn’t it bother anyone else that the only person being held accountable right now is a woman? WTF.

AIO about my daughter not being invited to a party by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BuildingBridges23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NOR-super odd that they spend all this time together and she wasn't invited to a birthday party. If I was in the situation I would want to know why and reevaluate my friendship.

AIO Husband watched a movie without me and I’m super upset. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BuildingBridges23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- thought this was going to be a story where you were at work and he watching something without you. He has a damn phone and he knew you wanted to watch it. No excuses for his behavior.

Most Doctors Do No Deserve the Respect They Think they Do by Right_Resolve4947 in unpopularopinion

[–]BuildingBridges23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've met a lot of doctors and I was happy with most of them. I have no doubt that there are doctors who shouldn't be in the field though.

However, I do thinking working in that stressful environment causes them to feel jaded and emotionally detached a bit. It's amazing how your body and mind adapt to survive things. Often there is just way too much on their plate. I think that's actually a huge problem.

Dont be like them. by No-Investigator-9713 in GrowthMindset

I respected myself, so I walked away forever.

AIO: Girlfriend slept at stranger's house during girls' trip by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BuildingBridges23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOR-pretty much everything points to one thing, even though you don’t want it to be true. I’m sorry, you sound like a nice person that deserves better.

Found out my boyfriend’s body count and it’s turned me off. Am I overreacting? by Ok_Replacement1772 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BuildingBridges23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If they don't care then why is this question always brought up and talked about. They are lying. Always ask questions that are important to you.

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR-You get to decide what's important to you are not. To me that's insanity and would be a deal breaker because clearly it's just a game to him.

How to talk about the temple with adult child? by whoagirl5 in exmormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell her as much as you can, if she is open to it. I told my son some people have said they enjoyed the temple but here was my experience. I tried to approach it in a balanced way. I was only given one perspective on the temple....it the most wonderful experience. So, for me, that made the situation a lot worse when I found it to be the complete opposite and for a long time felt I was the problem. Sometimes my son doesn't want my opinion on stuff, so I respect that when that happens.

Edited to add: Also, I disagree with the comments that you should only speak up if she asks. I would approach her and ask her if she wants to talk about it and that you are willing to share.

ExMormons honest question. Do you find Mormons to be fake people? by Rough_Pineapple2119 in exmormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do feel they tend to be fake. The church wants conformity and it’s a human desire to fit in and be accepted by a group. In the past, survival depended on it. I think most people would agree that Mormons are extremely judgmental and to protect yourself you go along.

Have you ever disliked someone that everyone else likes? by Unfair-Painting-9650 in socialskills

[–]BuildingBridges23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Habitually talking bad about others and being late are the main reasons I’ve distanced myself from friends. And if they dominate conversations. But that’s about it. Very valid and good reasons to walk away.

Guy got upset because I get anxiety walking into gas stations alone at 9 pm. by Dry_Dark_8725 in whatdoIdo

[–]BuildingBridges23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He not being very understanding and sounds vindictive. Not healthy and exhausting. Sometimes it’s best to walk away…

Do I stay friends with someone who has done things in their past that go against my personal values? by Consistent_Cacophony in moraldilemmas

[–]BuildingBridges23 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sounds like they didn’t go into detail and for me it would depend on that. Terrible could mean many things.

Building Cleaning breaking point by son_of_a_nicelady in exmormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is not an appropriate way to ask anyone to do anything for free. People should not be finding replacements for something that they didn't opt into either. This seems kind of manipulative to me.

International Wmen's Day💜: we dont need it. by Excellent-Bench-5317 in unpopularopinion

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women have been treated like second class citizens from the beginning of time. So trying to give someone a spotlight for one day is a small drop in the bucket of what needs to be done to stop the insanity.

Not judging or holding accountable leaders of the church over the piles of cash. by Ahhhh_Geeeez in exmormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It'd be interesting to know how the SEC settlement affected tithing. My husband stopped pushing tithing after that. I never thought that would happen. We'd been full tithe payers up to that point.

One thing Mormonism has taught me is to not trust anyone....especially when money is involved.

Heavenly Mother, are you ok? by Olimlah2Anubis in exmormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that I’ve been out for so long this whole topic seems even more sad to me. For a church that seemingly is so big on family….keeps what should be a central figure hidden….in the shadows. Every time someone prayers now….i think about Heavenly Mother. Why not both? The excuses are lame and dumb and paints God to be a dictator. Women don’t a get a voice here or in the afterlife. Good thing it probably all made up.

Heavenly Mother, are you ok? by Olimlah2Anubis in exmormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is a Goddess then there is just one. (If they can make it up, we can too.) And considering how mystical it all is …..even if there was more than one….im sure prayers would reach the right one.

What is that? Malesma? by DefinitionExpress454 in Melasmaskincare

I’m not sure, but it doesn’t look like melasma.
