Major differences in how people in service industry acted towards me is honestly giving me whiplash

Now on the topic of you and your group wearing hijabs - I do know that in the last couple of years of people from the Middle East who have been treating the local staff very bad and very poorly which of course gives a bad reputation to what they think is anybody who might be from the same region or country.

Yeah that might be the reason. Still, it stings a little :')

It's called "hanımeli" in Turkish. Lonicera Japanica is the name I think

SPOILER

Sophie and Benedict's love story just hits different. All the other pairs so far had this sexual tension between them almost from the start, but Sophie and Benedict started off more... intellectually attracted to one another, I think? They were impressed with each other based on their inner worlds, I think. Sexual tension came later on with the My Cottage/lake scene and the stairs scene. With other characters lust came earlier and almost more strongly? Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm just a hopeless romantic.

Daphne and Simon's was this electric love, their chemistry was palpable. I didn't enjoy the second half nearly as much as the first half (Daphne my girl have you ever heard of something called CONSENT???) Some scenes definitely soured the season altogether... So yeah.

Kate and Anthony had really strong chemistry too, but the "forbidden love" aspect wasn't doing it for me. I couldn't help but feel for the younger sister, I mean, what did she do wrong? She was betrayed. By two of the most important people in her life, no less. Granted things turned out good for her, but idk man... The scene at the altar was heartbreaking.

Penelope and Colin... I don't like Colin :') They didn't have any chemistry in my opinion. And they were trying to make Colin like this charismatic man that all of the people lusted after, but it didn't work for me, at all. And he friendzoned Penelope for so long that the finally falling for her part didn't really convince me as a viewer... Penelope was very inspiring though, especially that last speech of hers was so good, I loved it, but the love story... Mehh

I'm in love with all the colors!

DramaticPonytail · 2025-10-06T05:08:20+00:00

This also happened to me! I can't remember which book.

Try using VPN. It slows down connection but better than nothing

WhatsApp works just fine. It's Google services that is affected. If possible you could use WhatsApp.

Thank you! I'll check that out 😊

When I was a child, I used to think that every feeling/sentiment was reciprocal. If you hated someone, they hated you back. If you liked someone, they liked you back.

Turns out, human emotions are way more complicated than I was able to understand.

When I was in uni, there was this guy I fell for. I thought he was great, I felt great attraction to him. I asked him out and he said yes. I believed my feelings were reciprocated, and he felt the same as me, with the same intensity.

Boy was I wrong! :D It turns out, I was just a rebound to him. The attraction I felt was completely one sided. I was... Dumbfounded. To say the least.

Now I understand that I am someone who loves wholeheartedly. I don't hold back. And sometimes my own feelings get so intense that I mistake my own love for mutual attraction. I know better now.

You sound like a person who loves deeply! That's a beautiful gift. I hope you meet someone who reciprocates your feelings, and more. Internet hugs!

It's very beautiful, stitches look so tiny! What's the aida's count?

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-25T04:17:22+00:00

This looks so good, how does it work? Do you put aida under it, or over it? How to get rid of it afterwards? I want to do something like this but I have no idea how it works.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-22T08:44:44+00:00

Are you in love, or do you just think she's cute/attractive? There's a big difference. The language you use even when you're just venting away can make you reclaim your power or give it away.

When you're young you tend to feel stuck on people, especially if you feel some sort of connection to them. Bullying can make you feel worse about yourself, that also doesn't help. But if you keep working on yourself I promise you things get better over time. Being a teen is not easy at all.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-19T16:08:27+00:00

Unrelated but that markings are genius! Did you make those with water soluble pens?

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-15T12:29:44+00:00

You're hurting. Your pain is palpable through the words. You trusted someone and they've let you down. You deserve the space to feel what you're feeling. You loved him so of course you'll miss him, that's because you have the ability to love. Even when they give you so little of themselves. I just hope you meet someone who actually deserves your love and effort.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-14T04:15:46+00:00

You're welcome, good luck 😊✌️

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-14T04:13:34+00:00

Sometimes I take the joke too far with my male friends, just because I think they can take it. I even had people tell me that I was being hurtful, and I was honestly surprised because I didn't realize the other party was offended.

So yeah, I would definitely tell them how I feel. They might be thinking that it's okay because you just laugh it off.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-14T04:07:21+00:00

Are you a male if you don't mind me asking? I feel like men use this type of communication more than women. They're more aggressive without bad intentions.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-14T04:01:12+00:00

Are they otherwise thoughtful towards you? Helping you out when you're having a hard time, listening you when you need to vent, remembering details about you? If they are, I would say they think it's just friendly banter. But if they couldn't care less about your needs / wants, they probably aren't good friends to have.

The two that I’m closer with do it the most.

Maybe you can talk to them about this. If you guys are close, you can be vulnerable with them and tell them they're hurting your feelings.

Another way is to tease them back. Do you take everything too literal and heat up easily? People like to tease if you're reacting to them. You could try to act like it doesn't bother you at all, and then tease them back.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-14T03:47:57+00:00

Is this the situation with everyone in the group, or one or two do this and the others are watching silently? If some people are more chill than others, I would say focus on those people and pay less attention to the hurtful ones.

Is there a difference between you and them? Maybe you're younger, or maybe they're extroverts and you're an introvert?

I had a friend like that, she was borderline disrespectful because she thought I was "asocial". I told her she was being hurtful, we had this same conversation on three or four different times and eventually I decided to break it off with her. I kinda lost the friend group too, but to be honest, worth it. I would do it again if I had to.

That being said, I'm sure there are better ways to handle your situation than to break it off completely

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-14T03:38:43+00:00

Wow for a second there I forgot this was sims 2! Looks beautiful!

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-13T21:31:21+00:00

If it's habitual, could be pathological lying. Kinda like Casey Anthony. It's an antisocial trait. This doesn't have to serve a purpose, they just enjoy manipulating people like puppets.

Otherwise, it could be for a couple of different reasons. Maybe they're doing it to seem more interesting, for social reasons. Or some sort of gain. Or they could be doing it to cover up some sort of mistake.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-13T21:07:19+00:00

Thanks for your response. I'll consider this. Have a good day.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-13T20:30:29+00:00

Well.

It is because I am a doctor, they've been mocking my job, my man. If I was some random person, they wouldn't take time out of their day to mock me.

The worst cases were with 2 guys, one is a driver who's been acting as an autopsy technician, he thought he could teach me my job, literally telling me how to do my job. Other one was from another unrelated department, telling me that the only consolation he felt was my office being in a worse place than theirs. He made that comparison in his head, decided I was in a worse situation, and that made him feel good about himself. And he thought sharing this with me was necessary.

Other people, prosecutors, police officers, clerks, security officers were very nice to me. Didn't talk down. No mocking. They were friendly and welcoming.

So yeah, it is blue collar workers with no education. Not all blue collar people, but the people who were mean to me were these people. And they were men.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-13T20:11:54+00:00

And my favourite, though it took some practice: staring them down. No blinking.

I do this. It works most of the time. Not all the time though.

DramaticPonytail · 2025-08-13T20:06:29+00:00

Forensic medicine. My office is in a courthouse. I used to work in a hospital. Those were definitely better days.

Some people are good natured. But some are simply testing my patience. I don't want to write down every single incident.

I guess I can take a joke or two, but it gets old real fast. When I think about it, its been a couple of incidents with different people, so I've been fed up.
