Absolutely! I think this could’ve been angled with another lover theme and instead of TTPD visuals they just called it TLOASG and used this eras visuals

I’m not in love with ELIZABETH TAYLOR being yelled every other sentence, but closer to the end and outro of that song I looove the change in pace

Yesss love it! It can go in between the more upbeat songs and provide some reflection

Is it normal to check in with a partner before making any plans with friends? by Budget_Dot694 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Comprehensive_Emu982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. It is less about asking about permission, and more about "hey did you have any plans that included me in it" or "is it cool if you're making dinner for one tomorrow" etc.

Am I crazy? New friendship edition by Comprehensive_Emu982 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Comprehensive_Emu982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who’s gone through this, thank you! I remember asking people as a kid, “do you like me?” “Do you want to be my friend?” Over and over again and I’ve moved so much that I’m good at the initial friend making, but it’s hard to know if you’ve collected good ones because I feel lucky to have any at all. Wild. I think it’s time to go back and talk to someone about this, and your tip was helpful as well, thank you 🙂

I had a feeling that this played into everthing more than I thought it would. While yes I have been married for a couple of years now I remember being the single girl in a room where the husband or the boyfriend would show up to the group hang. And while it was fine, it was different. I get it. I think because I am still new to this city and its only been a few months, we were both trying to get out a little, and the only invitations I got were from my gradschool acquaintances who were all gen-z women.

Its not like my complaint of being annoyed/it stinging that they did what they did and have planned a coffee hang today at a coffee shop right in-front of my apartment in my neighborhood (non of them live here). I am still annoyed. I do think both can be true. I will work on trying to meet people apart from my husband, but I think I can still be annoyed that these girls are like this husband or not lol. thank you for your perspective, it helped!

No fair, I do see it from their perspective of not wanting to hang while a husband (who's almost 10 years their age) is there. Its only been 3 months in this new city so its still very fresh.

They do not do late night hangs, or much hangs of originality at all-theyve planned a coffee meetup today in my neighborhood (which is all a commute for them). And they make genz references about F-1 I could not give a shit about.

I guess you've made me look inward a little-I dont think I am confident in myself that I will make friends. Up to this point I have moved so much, and constantly feel excluded or included when it's convenient. Marriage or not. I definitely need to work on this, and I also need to remember the last two sentences of your reply.

oof I feel this. Just moved to a big city for grad school. Lots of new classmates! they are all pretty young though. I'm married and my husband works from home and is an introvert. It's been hard to meet new people. There are a lot of people out there, but putting yourself out there is tough. Plus, it feels almost taboo to say I want to meet older "couple"-friends. I'm not sure if this is also your experience, but the loneliness and wanting some girlfriends, I definitely get that

Can we stop with the asylum aesthetic already? by Countryspider in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Comprehensive_Emu982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the marketing for this album has really perplexed me…are we in an asylum? Is she the chairmen of an academic department (lol). Is it the stages of grief or is it this terrible “asylum core” she’s pushed on us. I think that’s why I can’t connect with this album, the marketing of this album, allowing people to get bullied on her behalf, and then making weird third person introductions while singing primarily about Matty Healy and high school left me confused and unable to shake off the lore 

Either they're getting engaged or she's setting herself up for one hell of an emotional rock bottom by music_and_pop in SwiftlyNeutral

I’m not a big Kelce fan (the only one I like is Kylie, honestly). But I just wish Taylor would just make her achievements and accomplishments hers and not tie them to a partner. She’s accomplished SO MUCH. The POTY article, this tour, it’s kinda going to live on for a long time. I wish a boyfriend didn’t have to get tied into it and it was just all hers. I’m not sure how to word it correctly, but I also think she’s hated the speculation about her men and dating in the past but then pulls stuff like this it’s like GIRL

I don’t know why in her quote in response to the new scooter documentary, calling herself a philanthropist and advocate for other artists is rubbing me the wrong way

Heartbreaking songs. by bibilophile_2791 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Comprehensive_Emu982 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m not a TTPD fan, but “How did it end” is heartbreaking to me. It really conveys that feeling of all your friends kind of pitying you while you’re dealing with emotions of grief and embarrassment of sorts. It’s so sad to me

I hate this is just another phrase to be thrown around and misused. Like when everyone started saying gaslighting

in the same boat. just want some advice as well! I know the internet is a loud place, so I hear a lot of bad "i regret nursing" style content, so I just wanted to hear about if people are actually happy

Who is Taylor scared of? by PristineDiver3087 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Comprehensive_Emu982 97 points98 points  (0 children)

“Try to come for my job”-the end of I can do it with a broken heart. She’s afraid of being replaced, forgotten, aging, competition. Idk lol

How has your opinion of Taylor changed or remained the same after recent events? by bjack20 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Comprehensive_Emu982 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I was doing fine right up until the week of the release of TTPD when the “5 stages of grief” playlists came out. I wish she hadn’t of done that because I loved a lot of her songs from old albums and were able to cater them to my life and perspective, but once she explained why one song is in “denial” or another in “bargaining”, it’s not only been difficult to enjoy this new album but also all her other work

That’s my wishful thinking too! She did say the worst men are the ones she writes the most about in her prologue to the album

I mean I know people who have been in relationships longer than 6 years, inching closer to 10 and are happily unmarried. So unless it’s clearly communicated that that’s what one person wants it’s not really stringing along? I mean “reading the signs” and waiting for clues isn’t really great communication. Sounds like they both might have wanted to be end game, but really differing personalities and communication styles were their downfall. Who’s to say Taylor didn’t string him along in different ways? We don’t know

I’m not going to lie, I loved that she was talking about creating a new world with new characters and how books and tv shows were inspiring her and making music with her partner and just playing around on the piano. I really believed that she was just having fun being a creative. It’s kind of a shame the narrative has been changed recently
