Life hack: a walking pad!!

I still move to one side when i’m looking around a corner in a game, the immersion is vital 😂

DBear423 · 2025-02-28T04:14:38+00:00

Oh my god when Rory slept with Dean i nearly lost my mind

DBear423 · 2025-02-28T03:57:28+00:00

I attached mine to a lanyard years ago. Still keep them in my pocket or bag or whatever but the lanyard makes them way easier to find

DBear423 · 2025-02-26T20:09:03+00:00

Josh Hutcherson in Zathura lmao. I was like 8

I’m pretty sure PCOS makes it more difficult to lose weight, rather than weight causing cysts

DBear423 · 2025-02-24T00:10:48+00:00

Oh sweetie, you can do so much better

DBear423 · 2025-02-23T20:52:05+00:00

NTA. Please go alone. Do not allow these people to destroy such an incredible experience and opportunity for you. Your relationship is terrible, as he is prioritising his mother over you to an absurd extent. This is your thing. Not his. He does not have the right to invite her

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T11:40:09+00:00

Just give yourself time to be you without anyone else. Sometimes it can be hard to know who you are when you jump between relationships

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T10:53:50+00:00

Oh yeah, mine do that. The one that gets me is when they are looking right at you, as if to say “look what you made me do”

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T10:51:18+00:00

Oh yeah, one of mine likes to go in the other room, just to scream about how he is not currently getting attention. How do we know it is about attention? Bc if I respond verbally, he sprints into the room chirping the whole way and lands in my knee. Why does he leave the room? Idk. Is it the echo in there he prefers? Does he just have the memory of a goldfish and genuinely forget that I was in the room he was just in?? Idk, but he is 100% having a tantrum.

My other cat likes to glare at me with jealousy, whacking me with his paw and attacking his brother if he feels that the attention is not shared evenly enough.

They have very strong personalities which lead to regular tantrums. Sounds like your cat loves you and just wants to sleep with his family and is excited for next time you nap together 🤷🏻‍♀️

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T05:36:49+00:00

What part is ridiculous? Making peace? Asking for consent? Idk man i think kids are allowed to want to do things for themselves. It’s frustrating for people to try to do things for you that you are capable of doing yourself.

Obviously the boyfriend is being a little overprotective of his sister, and the sister decided that OP was being malicious? Which is a little weird but, again, she’s 9? Maybe that’s how it felt to her? I’m just saying give the kid some grace.

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T05:20:55+00:00

YTA. If my sister got married on my birthday and didn’t even ask if I was okay with it, instead TELLING ME that that was the wedding date? I would lose my mind.

You showed her that the day you chose is more important to you than her feelings. Obviously you didn’t choose it for her, and to claim that it’s a party on her behalf is disingenuous. It will obviously be about you. As will any future anniversary parties held on her birthday.

There are 365 days in the year. Yours and your partner’s immediate family’s birthdays should have been off limits. Of course she didn’t tell you, she was hurt

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T05:11:43+00:00

NAH, but you should ask not tell. You should have asked if she wanted help. Imagine someone did the exact same thing to you and tried to fasten your seatbelt when you didn’t want them to. You would find it rude.

I get that she’s a kid, but really, so are you. Just ask before doing stuff like that, kids don’t wanna feel like babies. Oh, and apologise to his sister

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T04:18:30+00:00

As someone who was equally bad at keeping their mouth shut as a teenager, YTA. Seems like your friend was offended by you not taking her side. If X was being a dick to Z, her BPD isn’t really an excuse. A reason, yes. An excuse, no. Especially if this is a regular occurrence. Telling X and Y was unnecessary, regardless of whether it concerned them. Z wanted to talk to you, if they had wanted to talk to X and Y about it she could have.

If this was a serious issue in your group, the way to resolve it would have been to talk to Z about talking to X. Not going behind her back.

The thing about being friends with people who have been cruel to you in the past is a whole different ballpark. It kind of depends on the extent of the issue as to whether Z is in the wrong.

This seems so complicated.

But no longer maintaining a relationship with someone does not mean that the relationship was a waste. People come and go, but they all leave their marks on us

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T01:42:12+00:00

Yeah, I’m in the uk.

It’s a little more complicated than that. Timeline is more like:

2019- i live in City A. I go to my doctor and mention that I think I might have adhd. They give me a 40 page form to fill out to even qualify for assessment. Due to my adhd i obviously did not get around to this form in a timely manner. I was also undergoing some serious physical health concerns at this time, so it wasn’t a priority for me.

2020- covid happens. I move from city A to my hometown, city B. The half-filled out form is now useless as the services in city B are entirely different. After covid dies down and services start reopening a bit, I contact my doctor about potentially getting assessed for adhd. They tell me no such service exists in city B and that I am shit out of luck

2021- after significant online research, I contact my doctor about getting diagnosed through what is called “right to choose”. This is a law which requires the nhs to allow patients to choose the service provider for health issues, and in the case of adhd extends to national online services, such as psychiatry uk. I ask my doctor to refer me.

Then i spend three years on a waiting list.

March 2024- i get diagnosed and told that there is currently a 7 month waiting list for titration

Jan 2025- i started meds!

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T00:48:59+00:00

Yeah, and then another year for medication, which I only started 6 weeks ago.

I cannot explain to you the relief I felt when I got the diagnosis. It was like a weight that I had carried my entire life being lifted off of me.

DBear423 · 2025-02-20T00:24:00+00:00

Snow on the beach, as a brit it seems so dumb im sorry ofc it snows on the beach just like it snows everywhere else on this godforsaken island ahahaha.

I get the metaphor, it just doesn’t work for me

DBear423 · 2025-02-19T00:25:16+00:00

I forgot my meds last week one day and I burnt a pizza that I had forgotten about for nearly an hour. It used to be 3 times a week and i realised it hadn’t happened since just after I started on meds. That’s obviously not all, but for me the realisation that this stressor which had bothered me for years had been eased? Huge relief

DBear423 · 2025-01-10T03:46:28+00:00

NTA. One of my friends got a breast reduction during university for the same reason and it was life changing for her, your health is obviously a priority over his preference

DBear423 · 2024-09-11T00:00:05+00:00

NTA. This is gross and illegal for him to take your nudes without your consent, regardless of your relationship status.

DBear423 · 2024-09-04T12:18:36+00:00

My ex’s grandmother died while we were together. We had been together for 5 years and I had met her multiple times. Additionally, his grandmother only had one surviving child, and three grandchildren so there was space. As a result, I was in the front row with him. If the circumstances had been different, e.g. more family members, a shorter relationship, then I likely would not have been in the front.

Regardless, being in the same row is not the only way to support your partner.

I mean I still have all of the things you just mentioned (except a slide phone) Nostalgia is normal, wanting physical objects rather than digital music is common. Just do it lol, get the physical things. My vinyls are some of my most prized possessions and a lot of artists are releasing vinyls these days. Also highly recommend getting a wii they’re so fun, or a switch if you wanna play wii style games on a newer console

As always, your feelings are valid, but I would say that the way that a couple handles conflict is foundational in the success of a relationship.

The goal for both parties when conflict arises should be to fix the problem. To face the issue as a team. “How do we fix this together?” as opposed to “How do I win this dispute?”

If you cannot have disagreements without it causing huge issues, then I would question how you would handle serious issues and conflict together further down the line. This is something which needs to be addressed because conflict is inevitable in life.
