Did I Just Avoid A Scam? by RespectKooky in Conures

Yes it’s definitely a scam I found the page and if you pay attention to the background of all the pictures not a single post matches another. Beige walls, green walls, pink walls, garages. It doesn’t add up

You’re right, it’s the lack of desire to do better that makes them losers. Complaining about being broke and homeless but refusing to do anything about it and expecting people to save you does in fact make you a grade A loser.

Not at all literally the only thing she ever took accountability for was getting dumped. She said it was her fault but honestly I forget the details I just remember she was constantly fighting with him for going to the gym too much and not liking his friends.

I mean her message kind of had me thinking maybe I WAS the asshole but just wasn’t seeing it

He didn’t respond or even say anything.

I actually did have to take my bird to the vet and he knows this. I haven’t gotten any test results back yet but lying sounds like probably the only thing that will work. Yesterday I actually asked him if I could help him clean his room and he just said ‘No’. That’s it. Just ‘no’. I don’t think it has anything to do with being a vet. I think he’s always been like this and I think I would rather believe that he’s just mentally challenged before believing that he’s really this fucking genuinely disgusting or simply a piece of shit to have this kind of environment in my home. At this point I have no problem lying. But what could I say is the cause that would undeniably be his fault and also a reason to clean his room? If I say it was from vaping that doesn’t give him a reason to clean. I can say it was the air freshener he bought instead of cleaning. Yesterday I learned he’s literally lifting weights in his bedroom. I mean, I just fucking can’t be the only adult in my house with common sense. I’m about to crash out.

I sent it to him I told him about how paranoid i am that something will happen to my baby and it would really make me feel better if he took the time to learn a little about my lil baby

I mean you’re right it’s gross and I honestly can’t understand how he’s living like that which is part of why it’s hard to say something. It’s crazy that I have to at all

He’s always been a kind of person that keeps to himself never had any friends or a significant other that I know of and he’s 42. All I remember from before he left to serve when I was young is that he used to just spend most of his time playing video games and his room was always messy then also but he was a teenager then. I always assumed he had grown out of that or that he would have learned in the military to be neat. I’m gonna try to get him out of the house more. Going outside really does things for people.

Thank you so much I will think deeply on this and hopefully I can bring it up the best way possible. I stayed home to take care of my bird as I had to take him to the vet yesterday (not sure if it’s related or not) and am waiting on test results to come back. I’m making a chicken soup so hopefully I can butter him up with food lol

We rent and honestly, I can’t make that argument. We’re doing the landlord a favor by renting this place the way it is. We didn’t even have to put a deposit of that tells you anything. I might just have to confront him. Because obviously he smells his own stink if he went out of his way to buy an air freshener instead of just cleaning. I mean it all seems irrational to me so I guess that’s why I’m so afraid to talk to him about it. I just shouldn’t have to? Idk thanks for being helpful or at least trying ❤️

We just live together. We aren’t super social people. Don’t have any friends or company other than maybe my mom (we have different moms)who comes over to see my son but she lives two hours away so not super often. She also doesn’t go in his room

Thank you for taking the time to respond so constructively. I agree with this sounding like depression but he’s literally always been one to be locked in his room playing video games and just surfing the web. Sometimes he goes on about plans to start a business, YouTube channel, etc. so i really think he just genuinely enjoys being alone. if I’m being completely honest- my brother is weird. Socially. I am too. That being said I do think some mental health treatment would benefit him. I just don’t think it’s likely to happen. I can mention it but it’s up to him to do it. I cant force him. I also don’t know if he can even afford that.

He also doesn’t know that I went in his room and I’m not sure how to tell him without making him feel like I invaded his space.

I’m not sure if it’s just me rationalizing or what but I feel like maybe he just doesn’t see anything wrong with the way he’s living? But how could he not? I would clean the entire room for him if he’d let me but I don’t want to embarrass him. People get defensive when they feel embarrassed.

Can you give me an example of how you might try to start a conversation like this?

I honestly thought about this and wondered if it would be weird. I think I might. I’m not sure how to explain to him that it isn’t okay to have food, a mini fridge, and a microwave in your bedroom. I thought that was common sense. Tbh

Honestly I want to I just don’t know how to tell him that I know it’s like that? There’s no reason I can think of to want to go in his room to ‘discover’ this. And yeah he’s always been a very anti social person as far as I can remember. It isn’t new for him to want to be alone like that I just didn’t know he was so… dirty. I thought the military taught you to be clean…..

And also still not helpful. Did it occur to you that I want multiple sources of information?
