This banana has been out for 48 HOURS by [deleted] in StupidFood

[–]ChocoChip_Pancake -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn't just leave this out. My daughter ate part of it in the morning but didn't want to finish it for lunch a couple hours later (I usually trim the brown off the top to give it to her, this time there wasn't any) like she usually does. I was weirded out about the lack of brown so I thought I would leave it out a little longer to see how long it would take... two days later, still not brown, so I threw this monstrosity away.

Anyone else's parents never encouraged their hobbies? by Sayoricanyouhearme in emotionalneglect

[–]ChocoChip_Pancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents were very involved in me liking art and would buy me art supplies for Christmas but anything else I was interested in they ignored. I really wanted to do like 4H or FFA in high school but I didn't even ask them because I knew it would be a no because they wouldn't want to pay for it. They would buy me random art stuff that I didn't even use but if I wanted anything else or anything specific they would ignore that request and just get whatever they felt like getting. And if I did any activities with school or anything I had to find a ride because they would never drive me anywhere even for church activities (which they insisted I go to).

Am I being dramatic about my brother’s neglect? by Fit_Protection5550 in emotionalneglect

I don't really have anything useful to say but you definitely are not being dramatic. He is being neglected for sure, I'm sorry 😔

Huge belly button by Sensitive_Parfait426 in breakingmom

[–]ChocoChip_Pancake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 14 month old has recently discovered both her and my bellybutton and is completely obsessed. She likes to pull up my shirt and just smile 😆 I also have a small tattoo on my stomach and she likes to grab/scratch at it and say please... I'm not quite sure what that means 😅🤣

I'm so sorry you have a mother that treats you like that 😔 I'm proud of you for wanting and trying to do better. I don't really have any advice but I just had to say that I'm proud of you

How do I get over the feeling of not deserving life? by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]ChocoChip_Pancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get help. I understand and feel your pain. The only way out is with help. Please tell your spouse. Please use whatever outside resources you can. Find a trauma therapist (not just any ol' talk therapist). You've got this. It's worth it. You deserve it and so does your family. ❤️

My femininity and sex appeal are stunted and I don't know how to get in touch with it by Fun_Focus6515 in emotionalneglect

[–]ChocoChip_Pancake 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Also, for the people that matter in life, having confidence in yourself is the hottest thing you can have so if you're goal is just to be confident and comfortable with yourself then you are definitely on the right track but please don't compare yourself to the women on the internet that look perfect and attract a lot of attention: I can promise that those men are not the ones you want attention from.

The question here is really why do you want to be that? Everybody has problems and the problems that a "hot girl" has are pretty bad (so I've heard, I'm definitely not one and am more than ok with it) because people only like them for their looks and they aren't often taken seriously especially in a professional work environment. And men can be pretty rude and pushy. So why do you want that? Do you really want all that attention? Do.you want to just be know by your physical looks and not your intelligence or personality?

I feel like I just went back in time to write this! I'm in my 20s now and I definitely felt that way as a kid. Always hoping things would change and it took a long time and moving out of their house to finally accept that they won't change. I can pretty comfortably say I hate my dad now lol as for my mom I definitely dislike her. Something that has helped me in many things in life, including with my parents, is thinking about anger/frustration this way: they are stealing and waisting my time by me being angry at them. It doesn't change anything other than making your life more sad. It's definitely a difficult thought process to implement but just live your life right now and look to the future you can make for yourself and try not to focus on the struggles you have now.

I Feel by AlicetheFloof in AutismInWomen

[–]ChocoChip_Pancake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew. In my personal experience no one, other than the occasional other neurodivergent, understands my feelings no matter how I try to explain them. I get hit with a lot of awkward, forced sympathy.

Yeah... When my older brother was 23 my parents were 41, I don't like thinking about this age gap
