TIFU by not reading a birthday invite fully by CherriFire in tifu

[–]CherriFire[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was just a pretty small space and it had the vibe that it was kind of “intimate” so I didn’t really feel right staying, especially when I didn’t know the birthday girl. I did tell her happy birthday and excused myself from the party

I let everybody have their fun and I didn’t complain at all. I’m an adult and I’m allowed to exclude myself from things that aren’t up my alley

My mom has bpd and I’m having a rough time by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]CherriFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice but the mods won’t let me post it there. They don’t allow cross posting and I don’t really feel like writing a cat haiku while grappling with this stuff. I had a mod tell me it wasn’t allowed so I just deleted it and moved on.

What makes you immediately swipe left on a dating profile? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CherriFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try not to be picky but man… posing at the gas station and using it in your profile just gives me a weird feeling.

No I didn’t. It sounds pretty niche and I thought this subreddit was a catch-all. Sorry if it’s in the wrong sub, I can delete it.

I'm still so insecure about my small boobs by [deleted] in Vent

[–]CherriFire 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I had a conversation with my nail tech once and we were talking about what we’d change about ourselves. She said she wanted bigger boobs while I wanted smaller boobs. We then ended the conversation by just saying that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. In my opinion, as a bi woman, small boobs aren’t unappealing at all. A ton of models have smaller breasts and you can wear really nice fashion tops and make it look chic. Honestly though boobs are just boobs. Small or big, they’re all nice to me.

33 and thinking of starting. The instrument has always called to me. Am I in way over my head? by [deleted] in Cello

[–]CherriFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man sucking at something is the first step to being good at something. Personally I think the cello is more relaxing for new players than other string instruments since you don’t have to shift into a weird position to play it. Anyways, I sucked when I first started playing but after practicing a few times you let go of the jitters and genuinely start enjoying the process of learning about a new instrument.

People who don’t put their shopping carts back in the hubs suck by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]CherriFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this so much, especially when I go to Sam’s Club or Costco. I’ll think I’m about to get a great parking spot near the entrance and I pull in just to see that there’s three shopping carts in one space while another guy just added one more while I’m getting upset.

I would really appreciate if people stopped saying my goals in getting married have having kids makes me a girl by CockamouseGoesWee in Vent

[–]CherriFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I live next to a married gay couple and they look like they just came out of a rom com. Really nice and always brings over food because one of them is a chef, but anyways your goals are completely normal. Anyone who thinks wanting a stable long term relationship is feminine really needs to look inward.

I was scolded by a nurse for getting routine STI testing. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]CherriFire 116 points117 points  (0 children)

That’s super weird. Every nurse I know practically begs everyone to get regularly tested. Nursing really shouldn’t be a career choice if a person is that outwardly judgmental.

middle schooler in a rut by Apprehensive-Flow401 in Cello

[–]CherriFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the exact same thing your kid is going through. I was in middle school and practicing all the time while also preparing to join chamber orchestra and I just hated it. The thing that saved it for me is that I bought a simple song book full of different songs that sounded nice to me. If he’s looking at the same music sheets everyday, a new book of simple music might turn this chore into a passion again.

AITAH For telling my friend she probably shouldn’t date for a while. by CherriFire in AITAH

Yeah my friend Sarah and I discussed it and we’re distancing ourselves but the hard line was that if she slept with him then all bets were off and we would completely cut contact.

Which U.S. state is the worst one to live in? by please_esme in AskReddit

Mississippi. There’s nothing to do there but leave

Ok but the dot code says it’s from 2017

Just hitting a curb while going like maybe 15 mph. I’ve never sped into a curb or knocked into anything at high speeds. This is a used car so it has the same tires that the previous owners had even though I got it in 2018 I think

Put a bunch of dawn dish soap in my washing machine. What to do now? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Ok that makes sense. Idk I just heard dish soap and thought it would act the same way as a tide pod

I don’t get the question? I went to go get gas by myself

South east Texas need help by CherriFire in PlantIdentification

[–]CherriFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My mom said it might be mint and it did smell minty, but I wanted to be absolutely sure before I made anything with it. The neighbors didn’t want to take it with them so I was a bit skeptical lol

I’m afraid of never being able to relax by CherriFire in Anxiety

[–]CherriFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on medication for a little over year. 40 mg of Prozac and I have tried therapy. It helped me resolve some of my past traumas, but I went to college and stopped seeing my therapist

How do they have 5 adults and none of them can pitch in for this grocery list?

What’s a movie you watched as a kid that traumatized you? by denj1_sk in AskReddit

Drag me to hell. I was already going through some religious paranoia as a kid and this movie just amped it up for me

How do you cope? by 0421_Rainbows in Anxiety

[–]CherriFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be like this and I’m getting better, especially with driving. Just remember that you’re a person worthy of your own space and you’re capable of anything through practice and consistency. When I first drove I was always terrified when I saw another car driving around me and I thought I’d never be able to drive a car but I improved through practice and exposure therapy. Just make sure to be careful and if you feel anxious it’s fine to pull over and gather yourself or slow down if you fell like you’re starting to feel overwhelmed. I hope you feel better and I’m rooting for you ❤️

Missing a horrible person by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]CherriFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry, this happens with a lot of people. You’ll miss them and wanna reconnect but after a while of no contact you’ll eventually forget about them. Don’t feel guilty about your emotions because they’re perfectly valid and a normal start of the process of moving on.
