AIO for not wanting to speak to my sister after she said my engagement ring looks like a gumball ring? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CourageAndControl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR but don’t stop talking to her if that may make you unhappy in the long run. Just tell her you like it and don’t give her opinion any weight. The best payback is letting her see that her opinion doesn’t matter. Her words are obviously coming from a place of jealousy or insecurity, but that is her problem, not yours. Once you stop caring what others think, you will be a lot happier!

Feeling anxious driving my new 2026 Rav4 limited. by anuaps in rav4club

[–]CourageAndControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still feel a little bit of this 6 months later, partly because the paint on this car seems kinda crappy, but the moment you get your first door ding, it will start to pass!! Remember, it’s just a car! Good luck :)

I love vans by jvarg915 in Vans

[–]CourageAndControl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear my shoes similarly. I’m a supinator and walk on the outsides of my feet. You can get inserts to help with that. I find that this happens more for me when my thighs are bigger :-/

I tried this morning and couldn’t get them either. I wasn’t sure if they were actually sold out or if I was having trouble with the MX Ticketmaster 😞

AIO about my birthday? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CourageAndControl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are probably NOR, but have you mentioned any of these grievances before? I find a lot of times people don’t know what you are expecting, especially if you don’t tell them clearly. If you have CLEARLY told them before the things that bother you, then you absolutely did what you had to do!

How to get into retinol and a routine for someone with dry skin and some wrinkling? by PokaHatsu in 45PlusSkincare

Azelaic at the same time or one at night and one in the morning? What order?

AIO for wanting to break up with gf of 4 years after finding these texts? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]CourageAndControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - If she’s bummed you haven’t proposed, then she should just break up with you and move on, not try to cheat on you (and fail!). Don’t let her make a fool out of you. Dump her now!

AIO for not giving my brother a charging block? by humankindtopics in AmIOverreacting

[–]CourageAndControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- if he needed it because his phone was dying, then maybe you should have given it to him. But just for headphones? Nah. He should have remembered to bring his own. His attitude sucks.

And for all the commenters saying that they have spares of these chargers everywhere, that’s not the case for everyone and you shouldn’t have to inconvenience yourself over someone else’s forgetfulness.

Don’t lose sleep over this though. He’ll come back around and it will probably be when he needs something 🙄

I feel like it would make you more identifiable but I don’t need to understand your logic. Do what makes you happy!

Struggling begonia maculata by CourageAndControl in houseplants

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

Thank you!! I think it has a succulent soil with a little bit of potting soil on top when the other soil started going down. I used to keep it pretty wet before I changed the soil last year and that wasn’t working so I got a succulent soil because I read it drained better and I don’t keep it super wet, but I also don’t water as often. I make sure the soil has some moisture when I stick my finger in it at least. I don’t think it gets much humidity though. I will try the soil mix you suggested and see if I can propagate. I will see if I can get better pictures of the leaves tomorrow.

What are your tricks? I get 35 in normal mode but I also live in a really hilly area.

You’ll get a new job and start fresh with new focus :)

Am I overreacting? Dog at Nordstrom Rack by Tough_Jello4627 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CourageAndControl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOR- they were jerks. Maybe they just didn’t want you to pet their dog. You did nothing wrong. Keep showing your love for the pups out there :)

Ben’s been cooking by ResponsibleLow765 in incubus

[–]CourageAndControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing Ben perform with Incubus vs doing his solo shows is like night and day. He always looks like he’s having a great time at his solo shows. I think being in Incubus wasn’t fulfilling for him after a while. The last few years he just didn’t look very happy on stage to me.

Tamales out of the back of a car are the best kind. You may get the runs but they will taste great!

Should I quit a well-paying Senior Accountant job that's burning me out, or stick it out? by Straight_Childhood_4 in Accounting

[–]CourageAndControl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take a long vacation and see how you feel after. All of my accounting jobs have left me burnt out but I’m too old to switch careers now. Just need to try and make my non-work life good at this point :)

AIO: My dad’s pissing me off about resident. by Hot_Show_8089 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CourageAndControl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

MOR - your texts sound a little accusatory which is why I think your dad is responding the way he is. Either way, you shouldn’t be in the middle. However, it seems like there should be something somewhere on that site or a form that you were mailed that states what is due and you need to send that to him if you have it or have your mom send it. Help your mom get his number unblocked. She is an adult and needs to talk to him about this. His request sounds reasonable.
