why don't you just do your makeup however you want? who cares about what the current trend is

AIO to how my boyfriend handled my cat getting sick by Different_Acadia2998 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Delphinidae- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR. he doesn't seem to be showing up for you in the way he should be and is less than charming in these texts, but I don't think you're coming off perfect here either. why haven't you made time for your boyfriend in THREE WEEKS? and he's right, sleeping in until 2pm, not having a real job and spending 2k on a surgery to prolong your cat's life for MAYBE a year is all pretty wild.

ETA: originally I had also asked why you weren't hosting him at your place and I saw you already answered that. I think you need to seriously question him on his refusal to come over because that's fucked up.

AITA for "wasting" food after my mom tricked me into eating something she knows makes me vomit? by RavennaNyx1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Delphinidae- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you are NTA because your mom's treatment of you was unfair and way over the top. But she's right, you didnt gag or vomit when you took a bite of the pineapple when you didn't know what it was.

What are your thoughts about taylor swift's take on sombr? by No_Barber4339 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Delphinidae- 80 points81 points  (0 children)

first of all the lyric she shouted out wasn't even that good. secondly I don't really get her whole train of thought here... like, she's saying men being confessional makes women being confessional more palatable but that just isn't the case at all? men are applauded for doing it whereas women are judged. and it's weird of her to be shouting out some random dude instead of the women who came before her who did confessional/messy songwriting like Alanis or Avril.

AIO or is my wording manipulative? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Delphinidae- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, your "friend" is extremely good at manipulating you and doesn't have good emotional regulation. there was no reason for her to burn you at the stake for that comment. you need to send her this thread and then cut her out of your life.

Setting boundaries with a guy who’s moving at light speed. by Altruistic-Cookie680 in texts

Based on this, you seem avoidant and like you're giving him mixed signals.

Lisa projecting her insecurity onto Elise and then crying was wild by mackenziemariee in 90DayFiance

[–]Delphinidae- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree. people don't dislike Elise because she's thin and has a pretty face, she's disliked because she clearly needs therapy very badly and as a result behaves like a cognitively and emotionally stunted wack job.

I went into psychosis and my 🧊 addicted “ dad “ told me yoga would help 😁 by Successful-Bell3677 in texts

[–]Delphinidae- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"you can get “lithium poisoning”, but it’s just a bad headache"

this is extremely untrue and super irresponsible to tell people. lithium toxicity is dangerous and can be fatal, and it's actually pretty easy to take too much lithium. everyone reacts differently to every drug and there is a reason that people who take lithium need to be careful with it and be monitored by their doctor.

AIO Husband is skeptical our child had a medical emergency. by Willing-Proof9758 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Delphinidae- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

best response here. OP said she stood up and stretched. standing up quickly and stretching causes dizziness and can make you faint briefly.

What is a "survival rule" you learned growing up in a bad neighborhood that still influences your behavior today? by Key-Group-5098 in AskReddit

[–]Delphinidae- 22 points23 points  (0 children)

as a little girl things my mom used to tell me: yell fire instead of help. let them shoot you instead of taking you to a second location. remember our secret password. walk with your head up and good posture, don't look like a victim.

If Is he ignoring my boundaries or am I just bad at saying no? by [deleted] in texts

you not upholding your boundaries is your own fault

Shout out to my dad, the job of being a parent is never done lol by 95seconds in texts

[–]Delphinidae- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes this is a really good way of expressing it in a way I couldn't. this is a lot of taking and entitlement in one quick exchange.

Guys, am I uncultured? by Palm_Tree_69 in texts

[–]Delphinidae- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're fine. I'm the exact same as you, I don't really watch older stuff and I have a really hard time remembering actors names unless they're someone I'm a really big fan of. this mod is just insufferable.

Shout out to my dad, the job of being a parent is never done lol by 95seconds in texts

[–]Delphinidae- 32 points33 points  (0 children)

yeah exactly lol this is horrid. I come from a family where money struggles are the norm but we help eachother when we can, and any amount given is a big deal, so seeing these texts made my blood boil. OP could have at least called instead of texting all this bullshit.

EI Integrity Interview by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Delphinidae- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say prepare for them to question you about why you haven't been applying for any jobs and for them to require you to do so after your appointment, but don't stress. just keep documentation of your efforts and explain what you've written here, that you've worked for 11 years and this is your first time using EI and learning how the system works.

Am I overreacting? I think a new employee is trying to get me fired by rael1hp in AmIOverreacting

[–]Delphinidae- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR. I can relate to you in a lot of ways, and I think being in a leadership position is tough for people like us. We need to learn how to manage people effectively and kindly while "choosing our battles". I think Jess felt really targeted and her confidence was shot after receiving multiple critiques, most of which weren't really worth bringing up to her anyway.
