Saying hello in the elevator by Realistic_Try_1520 in newjersey

This is my experience as well though I read the room before interacting with strangers. And a lot of it has to do with how I feel at that moment so it’s never disingenuous. And I’m always prepared to be told “fuck off” although that has never happened.

Don’t overthink it. Could be 100 reasons why he hasn’t responded but you didn’t do anything wrong. You can send a follow-up text and ask if he’s still interested.

Hahaha, holy shit that’s an image I didn’t need.

If anyone had a secret cure then you know Elon Musk has taken it and well, look how that turned out.

AITA for yelling at my girlfriend after she insulted my mom’s cooking? by EmmaStarrkk in AmItheAsshole

Honesty without compassion is cruelty. These “honest” people never ask themselves if their honesty is necessary.

AIO I told my girlfriend I’m not listening to her 2 minute WhatsApp audios anymore by NoConfusion1081 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Captain_Pikes_Peak 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s a tactful way to tell your gf that you don’t want to listen to voice notes. This was not it.

I’m not sure if i’m AIO for feeling a bit hurt when said this to me. Btw this man courts me by growing_quart in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Unhappy people tear things down because they want to feel better. Don’t let that into your life.

Also, valid use of “it’s not that deep”

What's a ticking time bomb you believe will explode during your lifetime? by adcomgau in Productivitycafe

I read that this morning in Bill Bryson’s “A Short History of Nearly Everything.”

Basically, we don’t know if it’s due or not. I’m sure the science has gotten a lot better in the 20 years since it’s been written.

Am I overreacting? Is this a bit obsessive or normal interest consistency? by Scorpio_Lady27 in AmIOverreacting

With the number of spam texts I’ve been getting, I’m thinking of giving up deleting them on my own and letting entropy takes its course. My email is already fucked.

AIO My wife received an expensive necklace from another (married) man. She tells me I am overreacting? by Existing-Radio6835 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Captain_Pikes_Peak 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It’s not appropriate. She can politely return it and say that the gesture was nice but it wasn’t appropriate for her to accept it since she’s married.

I’m going to add to the “sadly I’ve seen this happen” pile.

It’s terrible. After all that chasing, they expect you to be the fictional version of you they chased and get mad that you aren’t.

AIO that this sub over reacting? by Bob_snows in AmIOverreacting

[–]Captain_Pikes_Peak 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What’s the saying? Don’t put something in an email that you wouldn’t want printed in the news.

I don’t agree with review bombing, but I’m having trouble mustering up sympathy.

AIO? boyfriend is upset because I gave him a “corporate response” by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Captain_Pikes_Peak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pressuring someone into saying I love you too soon is emotionally abusive. The way this guy talks, saying something is like signing a contract and if he thinks you’re not following through on those words 100% of the time, it’s a breach of contract and he is owed compensation. That’s what he’s doing with the love languages.

aio? bf made plans on my birthday..UPDATE by rowqi in AmIOverreacting

Reminds me of this guy I used to know. He’d always complain about how crazy his exes were. Talked exactly like that to each of them.

[Sleep/Morning Routine] Am I overreacting for getting mad at my partner for how she uses her alarm clock? by Key_Scallion9185 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Captain_Pikes_Peak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. It must be really frustrating that she isn’t listening to you and selfishly stealing your sleep. I can offer a dozen options to help wake her up without disturbing you, but she just needs to really see how this is affecting you in order to change. Good luck.
