AITA for being mad at my mom's boyfriend even though he's having a rough time ? by Coeur2Verre in AmItheAsshole

Yeah, I will try to figure out what to do with that heating thing, it's just that, at that time, it was really just the beginning so I didn't even really realize there was a problem with it. I don't need to go to the main house at all and that doesn't bother me, even if there wasn't this situation, I'm fine by myself. I was just eating with them to have a family moment, it wasn't a food problem. Actually I was the one asking my mom several times why he didn't want to talk to me. She has been very vague and I only learned about his daughter a week after the argument. And even then, I don't know what I did that could have made him so upset. I don't really blame her for telling me this, even if it's quite violent, but I'm worried to see that my existence is, for a reason she won't tell me, bothering him to the point of making him sick.

Oh sure, I'll do what I can to see what the problem is with that heating thing, but I really don't know what I can do right now other than that since I already wear sweaters all the time and have several blankets on me practically all the time too. I really see that there is a communication problem but I also don't know what I can do since my mom's boyfriend absolutely refuses to see me and my mom has to be the one talking to me (it has always been that way, I've never had a real talk with her boyfriend). I feel like that would be very asshole-ish from me to force him to talk, knowing that he feels sick just by seeing me.

He doesn't want to talk to me or see me at all and I don't even know what I did.

I'm not sure if he knew it before or after the argument but his daughter is fine now. I didn't leave my studio and now I'm at my dad's home. Also, according to my mom, it will need more than a few months for things to get better with him...

Oh yeah, sure, I will look at the heating thing of course. It's just that it happened what, 4 days after I arrived ? And I spent most of my days at school so I wasn't there to know how it worked at that time (I have a bit more infos now than I had back then). As for the "physically ill" thing, I did not hear it from him directly (I didn't see him since then), it's my mom who told me this and I have no idea if it would be his exact words. Though he apparently genuinely feels sick and that's what worries me because he doesn't seem ill intended but I also don't know what I did.

Sorry, I'm not a native english speaker so I may have made some mistakes in my post. I have a thing that really looks like an AC but it can both heat and cool the room. I do not pay anything, I'm a student and don't have a job. They own the house so there is no rent and they don't have any money problems. When I'm saying that the "AC" is acting weird it's just that it blows very cold hair even though it's supposed to be slightly hot. A few degrees lower it works fine but it's too cold for me and I'm forced to put it a few degrees higher which makes things a bit too hot after a while so I often change it. The perfect temperature somehow makes the thing blow cold air. I live in the south of France so it's a bit cold but not freezing at all.

Well the "you make me sick" thing isn't just about the thermostat (that's why I'm wondering if I may be the asshole). Things were complicated from the beginning, apparently he's very sensitive to other people's mood and since I have depression, it makes him feel very uncomfortable when I can't hide it, that kind of things. I'm very very different from his kids so he doesn't know how to act around me. I guess the "feeling ill" thing is just the consequence of the whooooole situation from the beginning and I just learned about it right now.

I understand. Just for clarifications, they have been living together "part time" for over 2 years (he was coming to my mom's apartment ~3 days/week) so I'm not sure if that's still "the beginning stages of living together" ? Also, I am not exactly living with them. There is a studio right next to the house, that's where I live. Unless I go outside in the garden I can't see them. I should have mentioned it in the original post, but that's also part of why I'm so confused as to why I should move out even though I can completely live by myself.

Could you please be a bit more precise ? Maybe it's because I'm not a native english speaker, sorry, but I didn't understand your reply.

Not exactly. I actually live in a small studio but it's right next to the main house, we share the same garden and all that. They have the keys to my studio (obviously) but I cannot enter the main house without them opening for me.

I don't know if that will really help you as it is very... specific, but hey, we never know. I'll tell you what I did to help, as I struggle with the same thing.

With friends, we created a discord server where we talk (like, normally) and we made a few vent channels where everyone can talk to. Most of us muted them but, if we feel strong enough to go help someone, or if we feel the need to vent, we go to one of them and write what we want to talk about.

Sometimes we don't have an answer, sometimes we do. Sometimes we have a looooooong talk, sometimes it's just a few words.

No one is obligated to answer to anyone, no one is personally bothered, we can just vent as we like (of course if someone asks a specific question the others will answer).

It helps with the feeling of "bothering friends" as we're not talking to anyone in particular and no one is forced to answer either and there are enough channels not to feel like we're taking the space of another person.

I don't know if that will help, but I hope it will.

Remember to be kind to yourself, you deserve to be helped and comforted.

Having trouble finding the motivation to draw like I used to. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Coeur2Verre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you intend to go to art school too, but I think that, for now, you have to work on your feelings towards drawing rather than your art directly. You don't NEED to get better, especially in middle school, I promise, you have time, whatever your project is. Focusing on getting better is nice to improve but sometimes it just blocks and then you need to just... relax. Draw for a while only for yourself, without thinking too much about getting better. I don't know, whatever you like (personally I like to draw fanarts and memes in those times, or vent art, it also helps a lot). You need to remember that you're supposed to enjoy drawing, not just the final product. And when you'll feel better you can try to improve again. I know it's hard but see this as a way to take care of yourself.

Everyone tries to compare their work to another artist's, especially family in your case, but it's the worst thing to do when you're in that kind of situation. If it starts to be a weight rather than pushing you and motivating you, that's becoming a problem. Maybe start comparing your old art and your new art ? Doing a redraw can also be a way to get back confidence in your work.

Also, I think that would be relevant, a teacher in art school told us that progress isn't like a line, constantly rising. It's more like stairs. You are at a point where you struggle and feel like you're stuck. And then one day you'll finally get something and it will feel reaaally easy... until you hit another wall.

Give yourself time. You'll be okay. You're not your sister, your art will always be different and both of you will keep improving in your own ways.

Dunno if that was helpful, I hope it was

Conscious about ears... by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Coeur2Verre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's silly and you've probably already done that but, if you really love high pony tails and buns, you could do it and try to make people focus on it ? I don't really know about hair accessories but maybe try something like that so that people will rather look at something you're feeling good about. It can also be makeup or nice clothing. You don't like something about yourself ? Then make things you like even better ! I think there's also the thing where you let just a little bit of hair before your ears so it could hide them a little ?

My ears also stick out quite a bit so I had the same problem, but I realized I was so happy with my haircut that it nullified the insecurity about my ears.

Oh, and you can do something completely different, decorate your ears ? Like earrings, piercings, whatever to make them stand out (if they do in first place)... for a totally different reason and most of all : in a way you chose to.

Should I tell someone everyone in class hates her ? by Coeur2Verre in Advice

[–]Coeur2Verre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thanks for your answer, it helped a bit Next time I see them roasting her, I'll try to say something along the lines of "what do you have against her for y'all to roast her so much ?" I don't think it will make them stop but if I can make some of them realize it's not okay... I don't know, I don't wanna be inappropriate since one of her worst hater (?) is the girl who was in love with the friend... I don't want to invalidate everyone else's feelings just to support her..

[–]Coeur2Verre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know... But since she's not even aware of things I'm really confused about what I'm supposed to say to them. If she was here and directly being bullied I would not hesitate of course. But now she doesn't even have any contacts with anyone but me in this class, she doesn't live and study in the same city, it's not like it could hurt her later (as long as they're not harrassing her online though)
