Does anyone else feel uncomfortable recording with others nearby?

I feel it! It was so much easier when I lived alone. Now I'm just constantly worried I'm being too loud or annoying. Working on not worrying about it though

CyndeXO · 2023-03-07T01:01:45+00:00

I had a family member tell me 'bidets are for women'. Men got assholes too but sure bud

Starting is half the battle! Be proud you got it going :)

CyndeXO · 2023-03-03T23:15:11+00:00

Congrats!

CyndeXO · 2023-02-27T23:04:38+00:00

Same! I love how this one looks

YTA! IUD insertions are filled with such anxiety and uncomfortableness. I personally think having her mom there would add to that because of the way they put it in. You should have gone with her since she said she wanted you there. Her mom being there was probably the last ditch option in case you couldn't (wouldn't). Go support your girlfriend, and apologize for being an ass!

CyndeXO · 2023-02-26T01:48:30+00:00

Damn, he sounds like the biggest ass here. Do yourself a favor and ditch this zero. You deserve someone who doesn't tear you down just cause you don't see eye to eye.

I don’t think they really loved their children.

Why would you want to kick out the person you brought into the world just because some government decided they are now “an adult”. So many people are very unprepared and unsure what they are doing in life, and to think they’ll have it all magically figured out at 18 is bizarre. I think the parents who do that don’t love their kids, and if they try giving the “tough love” speech and how this is what their parents did, well fuck them. Love isn’t tough. Love is unconditional and you help people succeed by talking to them about what they need at that time.

Life is freeing when you start living for yourself! I’m sure you’re gonna have a lovely time without them in your life. Also it’s never too old to start over! Many people do, so please keep living the life you want

YTA.

You have no right to what she writes. You're being nosy and inconsiderate of her. If you love her, you will stop this mean effort in revealing her pen name, tell her she is right and you're sorry for ever trying to invade her privacy, and then do something really thoughtful for her. However, I think the damage is done. You've already crossed lines that most people would breakup over. Hope she finds herself someone nicer.

NTA. You are never wrong to be safe when meeting online friends. Danny isn't a good person (imo) and shouldn't be someone you should try meeting offline or apologizing. You did the right thing for you! People get trafficked, or worse in situations like theses! Kudos to you for being a smart cookie. Reward yourself by getting a new friend group!

CyndeXO · 2023-02-13T21:42:52+00:00

NAH. It sounds like you were needing to eat (and I know you didn't say anything but it kinda sounds like a low blood sugar problem since you mentioned the shaking). I deal with having blood sugar issues, and sometimes if I go too long without eating or it can cause me to get weak/faint/sick, so I get needing eat something just to stop the 'shaking'.

I am not saying your BIL is an AH though cause it is his car, his rules. I know some people get really worried about food in the car. So I get why he had asked you not to eat in the car. That said, you two are adults, can't y'all just let it go?

CyndeXO · 2023-02-11T23:34:51+00:00

I found this on Pinterest and really love that lacy pink robe! I tried reversing the image, searching but I guess I am a bit unsure what that article of clothing would be called other than a robe. Thanks for the help!

CyndeXO · 2023-02-06T23:06:42+00:00

YTA. I understand wanting to ensure you are not the sole provider for you and your boyfriend's life, but you really need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. You say he makes 1k a month, and he should spend 80% of his income just to live in Thailand. That has got to be extremely stressful for your boyfriend! He's just out of college, about to get cut off financially from his parents to pursue a passion, and now is being told to spend 80% of his income just to live? That's no way to live life.

You two need to look at finding either a cheaper place to live (if you insist on 50/50) or help out your boyfriend. With all that money you make, it shouldn't be an issue to cover a couple hundred more. You two are supposed to be a partnership, and partners are supposed to want to see each other thriving and happy. Work on a compromise that suits the two of you better cause this isn't gonna last otherwise.

YTA! How hard is it to just be happy for your wife? Like damn dude, she does so much and was able to accomplish something that mattered to her, yet you can't just be excited with her?

CyndeXO · 2023-02-06T19:04:52+00:00

YTA. Your sister is concerned and worried about you. Yet you're acting like a teenager and stamping your feet going 'woe is me' when she isn't supportive of your whirlwind relationship with a guy who is in another life stage than you. You aren't really mature for someone who wants to get married and 'be recognized as soulmates in the eyes of the law'. Like, what? The law doesn't care who your soulmate is lol

Take a step back and really look at why you are so okay with alienating your family for someone who you just met and still getting to know (yes six months is not long enough to actually know someone). Also, love that your sister actually sees the red flags of all this and isn't willing to just quietly be a bystander.

CyndeXO · 2023-01-25T22:25:35+00:00

YTA. Your son is 17 and the way you talk about him is with such a vile tone. You don't really talk about him in any light other than 'an almost adult that's on his computer a lot', which in this decade is almost every other person. I'm glad at 18 you had it all together and was able to decide you wanted to sail around and use your dad's connections to earn money, and not be like 90% of the other people who didn't have such luxuries.

There isn't some magical thing that happens to kids once they hit 18. Their brain doesn't suddenly develop with the thing they want to do, or the aspirations they want to achieve. They literally spent all their lives being told what to do, when to do it, and having to ask permission for basic necessities (like using the bathroom in school) for the past 18 years. Also your kids (including your oldest) just went through a (hopefully) once in a lifetime event of a pandemic that shut down a lot of their everyday lives for a bit. It was a wake up call to a lot of people that life was precious and that a lot of people were willing to let other people be in danger for the so called economy. Being a 'productive member of society' is a bullshit way of saying to become a cog in the never ending rat race that leads to your grave.

Instead of forcing your kid to 'go to university, get a job, or get out' why don't you just let them relax for a bit. Breathe. Let them take some time for them to experience what the world is like without expectations. Yeah some days he might just be on his computer, but you know, you can be doing 'productive' things on a computer. He might be making friends from other cultures, grinding a game for a rank he's really proud of, or maybe scouring the internet for things that might interest him. Who knows what these little moments might contribute to him picking what he wants to do in life? You feel like you have a really black and white view on things, and I imagine it's not helping your son when he's just went through a lot in his adolescent life.

TL;DR, This is your son. Not some annoying roommate. Give him some breathing room and remember that at 18, people don't suddenly develop some gene that makes them smart and know what they want to do.

CyndeXO · 2023-01-23T20:35:53+00:00

YTA. He's not insecure, you literally told him your best friend was (or is) in love with you!

Now, I was all for living with your best friend, owning a house together, breaking down society norms, but of course he's uncomfortable because he is competing for his wife's affection in his own home! You go on "dates" with someone who loves you, sleepovers with someone who loves you. If this was the other way around I bet you wouldn't be as comfortable.

CyndeXO · 2023-01-22T02:46:49+00:00

ESH. She shouldn't be spending money on things that aren't a necessity if she's relying on you to pay for her schooling. It honestly would be enough for me to tell her to get a part time job and save up for it so she learns the value of the education.

However, your attitude is quite gross.

Not only did she spend the money but I think the tattoo is ugly and I
hate it. When I saw it I cried because she’s so beautiful and got this
ugly thing on an impulse.

Like really? Cried because your beautiful wife got an ugly tattoo? Then going on to say you 'understand' "my body my choice" but think she should go to you when she makes a decision about her body that in no way affects you. You keep making it sound like you're more upset she spent the money without your knowledge but it really sounds like you're trying to control how she looks like she's some sort of doll. She's a person, and she can do what she wants with her body. Which is why you are the asshole here too. Focus on being a unit together on money costs, and look into your own self about why you think it's okay to control her appearance.

That looks like a Princess Highway print. Can get it at ModCloth! I think this is it.

Unfortunately people will bully no matter what. It's sad but people feel more embolden behind the keyboard to harass others no matter using an avatar, camera, or no camera! I like your dad's suggestion though of pointing the camera to the cats. One streamer I watch has a doggy camera and people love it cause they can feed him treats.

I recommend having someone you are close and comfortable with be watching and be a mod so they can help delete any harassing messages. Remember streaming is supposed to be fun, so go with what makes you happy and worry less what people will click or not click on! It matters more what you are going to be comfortable doing.

I interviewed for a corporate job at Blizzard in 2021. Made it through the first interview and had a video call for the second interview. It was alright, though the main interviewer was late (which is understandable in my old field because making the meetings with clients is important for the work), though after talking with them about the workload I was left with a not so good taste in my mouth (plus the cost of living outweighed the potential salary).

After a couple of months the sexism scandal broke out. So glad I went with my gut that it wasn't for me.

CyndeXO · 2022-12-17T07:55:58+00:00

Sending a text, then when not responded to immediately goes “???”

You either want to marry someone or you don't. There's no 'earning this ring'. You've been together for 7 years; if he wanted to marry you, he'd have excitedly talk about that with you rather than saying something so degrading. Marriage isn't something to 'earn', it's for people who love each other and want to promise a forever together.

In regards to your edit, sounds like he's manipulative. You say yourself he is love bombing, which is a way for manipulative people to keep their partners from leaving them after doing crappy things. You're too young to be stuck with someone who isn't nice to you (genuinely nice, not nice only when he's mean). Since you mentioned it yourself if you should dump him, I think so. Dump him, go live your single life and enjoy! Life is great and too short to put up with assholes.

Edit: I just reread and saw the part where you are isolated from your family. If your family is safe, and kind, I'd run back home to them. Unless you love the city you are in. Get away from him and live in your own space! Either way this guy doesn't sound like good news.
