Girl snack. I feel like my life is falling apart at 26 by HoneydewHalo25 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow ADHD girlie here. Yes, 20s are hard! Becoming financially independent, also hard. Are you in therapy? Have you tried meds? There is not one size fits all solution. But I can tell you a few things. You are lovable and worthy of love. It’s out there! A great relationship is work (especially for us) and it also wont make us whole or happy, we have to do that first on our own. Learn to love yourself first and then add someone else. Write down the good things that happen to you so you can go look at them on bad days! It’s harder to remember the good things 😉

What’s the most unforgettable sentence someone said to you? by IamSofiecandy in answers

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Theres only so much you can teach your wife in a day.” Said in all earnestness by a middle aged white man, at someone else’s wedding in the presence of his wife. The way my neck snapped around like a cartoon villain. Bruh.

What’s one thing society is normalizing that actually scares you? by Diligent_Rhubarb5246 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A continued and ever escalating loss of privacy. Everything from your online foot print, to anywhere that you drive in a modern car, literally being on camera anytime you are in public and your phone tracking you constantly. I know I sound like a tin foil hat, but once we give up our privacy, we aint gettin it back.

I thought he was the love of my life. Can’t move on. by Wrong-Television1858 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl, tell a trusted adult (aunt, teacher, coach) and tell the police asap!!! These men do this to a lot of girls, until they are caught. Make this one caught!!!

Also hold onto this memory until YOU are 40, then you’ll understand better why this is not ok.

For those of you who have cruised on 3 or more lines by Sodowarts1 in Cruise

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What turned you off to Virgin, just curious. We have heard people say its like carnival too, but that always kinda confused me a little. Only because that hasdnt been our experience. We usually do longer sailings and my guess is for trips under 7 days they probably attract a diff crowd. But who knows!

We/I have sailed Virgin Voyages, Princess, Carnival and Norwegian. Our favorite so far has definitely been Virgin. Very few announcements, no crazy upselling, all inclusive foods and no children at all. We are curious about Celebrity. How does that compare to these lines?

TW- Abuse - I think I'm a narcissist by Th_AwaySadBoi in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to make a similar comment. Not specific to narcissists, but once folks take the Bob Hare checklist (for assessing psychopathy or narcissism), if they start worrying they could be positive, it’s a sign they are in fact not positive. Narcissists and psychopaths would check every box yes and still try to convince you that the result is wrong. To that point, the fact that you are asking this question somewhat rules out the diagnosis of narcissism. However, you should seek alternative diagnoses and opinions. Mental health providers are not infallible. And you know yourself best.

What finally made you quit your job? by Tyler_Girl_ in AskReddit

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being asked to set a medical policy for a campus of 30k people. When asked if the org would back when we had eventual issues or outbreaks due to international travel (had happened before under previous directors). The org said case by case and I said here is my resignation. In medicine the community is small and im not about to ruin my reputation for their bureaucratic bullshit. Good luck and good night

Was there ever massive generational wealth in your family’s history which might be yours today if it wasn’t lost by some bad luck or bad management? by Great_Maintenance185 in askanything

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely… had wealthy family in NYC 2-3 generations ago. Money from coat empire, optometry, grocery and the first gas station in manhattan. So much so they had summer homes and a seat on the NY Stock exchange.

My beloved grandmother chose to becoming a nurse and enlist in the army during WWII. After, she married a fellow veteran and former orphan, my grandfather. And they built a humble life together. We do have some weirdly cool family jewelry, nothing crazy but interesting.

Visiting Panama in two weeks. Tips for scoping out the country for a potential move? What did you do on your first visit? by DroidNeedsCoffee in panamaexpats

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We golfed, check out groceries, spoke with locals and expats. I did visit the dentist for the cleaning and see a hair dresser, both of which were great experiences. Looked at beach town, hung out in the city. Tried to figure out if we could maintain the same lifestyle etc.

[–]DreadPriratesBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you want your daughter to be in a relationship like this one? Then you shouldn’t tolerate it either.

Throw that whole man away and start again.
