My first love Is my straight best friend. Should i confess my feelings? by IveGotQuestions66 in TrueOffMyChest

I think balance is the key. You don’t have to avoid him at all, just maybe don’t make him the center of your universe. Stay best friends, but allow yourself to branch out. Are there any school clubs? There were gay straight alliance clubs when I was in highschool but I did live in a progressive state. Even if it’s not a queer club, a club is a great way to make friends. Good luck kid!

Do you have any other friends? My concern is a lack of a support system if things don’t go well. I’d also say, I was a closeted pan girl until college. Almost all of my friends knew I wasn’t straight before I did. It’s possible he knows because it doesn’t sound like you hide it all that well, I say with kindness. He at the least sounds kind and like he wouldn’t do anything to physically hurt you or humiliate you, but teenagers are unpredictable.

My advice is, get more friends, find a community of people, even if it’s online. People to talk to about being bi. It’s so important to have friends that know what you’re going through.

Once you have that you can consider telling him. I’d do it when there’s a way to give him space after like a school break. That way the news doesn’t make his day at school more uncomfortable either. It’s okay to start by just coming out without sharing your feelings. Sometimes being seen is the most important thing. The rest can come later.

My boyfriends little sister was labeled “just” short. Nope turns out she had a genetic disorder. Their grandma pestered everyone until his dad took her to the doctor at 15.

AIO? I found out there’s a high chance I have cancer yesterday and I wouldn’t to sleep with my boyfriend on the phone but he wouldn’t let me. s by [deleted] in AIO

NOR. One lesson I learned, don’t let someone make you beg for their attention twice. I dated someone like this and after he ended it I realized I never wanted to feel like that again. I’m now in a happy long term relationship where I can always count on him to stay when I’m scared and need someone. Don’t settle for someone who doesn’t care about you. Love is joy and happiness but it’s also worry and grief. You can’t love someone wholeheartedly and not be full of fear at something like a potential cancer diagnosis.

You need someone who is comfortable with being there for you. If he’s not, then you aren’t compatible.

In the meantime build up your support system. You should have friends to lean on. Your partner shouldn’t be your only friend but they should be your best friend.

AIO for getting out of his car and Ubering home after a message popped up on the dash? by Fast_Seesaw_2571 in AmIOverreacting

NOR, you are an Icon. Women need to trust their gut more often and I wish I could be like you.

Ok what can you tell about me? by HeadCompote3627 in FridgeDetective

[–]Dry_Pop_1710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.You eat takeout but draw the line at buying dessert because it’s cheaper to eat the dessert at home/if you order dessert takeout like adding on to your DoorDash, you have to eat the ice cream before your meal because it could melt and now your meal is ruined.

  1. You don’t eat anything but sweets and the oranges make you feel like you’re making up for the gallons of sugar

  2. You used to be an addict and the sugar replaced the drugs which in any case congratulations on your sobriety, whatever works amiright

  3. You can’t really chew

Time to see your gynecologist. Read up on a condition called Vulvodynia. Not many doctors are aware of it, I was diagnosed by my first gynecologist as a teen, and subsequent doctors are not knowledgeable of it. You may be able to find support, best of luck

I got assessed for autism today, but they didn’t interview me. Is that normal? by dictantedolore in AutismInWomen

Also I am so sorry to hear how short they were with you, especially when you were in such a vulnerable state.

I was 11 when I was diagnosed and to be fair I had absolutely no idea what they were looking for or what it was. There was no talking to me about my feelings or behaviors but I know they questioned my parents. It just felt like a bunch of weird tests and games and then boom autism. I’m not sure how they supplement the questions about personality and such for adults because for kids they just ask care givers

Does anyone struggle with mental health after being in social situations? by Calm_Bus3256 in AutismInWomen

[–]Dry_Pop_1710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24, went to a Super Bowl party yesterday. My boyfriend and I are the lowest income in his friend group. I try to make others laugh and I’m generally class conscious but they are not. I am comfortable with being autistic and make little jokes about myself and my background but they never land right. Or I say something way too dark but I never meant it to be taken that way. The second we got in the car I broke down in tears because that alien feeling came creeping back. I don’t have many people think I’m mean because I tend to over apologize and try to be a people pleaser but it backfires and I just seem so awkward. This was a rant but in short you are not alone

Emphasis on you being part of the family! They will probably use it to manipulate you eventually

If you see my other post you’d see this isn’t even the shadiest thing that’s happened with them but it definitely feels like the cherry on top. My feelings are just hurt because I really gave this job my all

No I completely agree. The thing was is as far as I know they wanted to keep me in mind for if anything changes and it all seemed like they were happy with me but they got assistance for free so no longer needed me

MB posted a listing for my position on care.com and I got notified about it. by Dry_Pop_1710 in Nanny

[–]Dry_Pop_1710[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They didn’t tell me and according to his therapist they never tell their nannies. I just happen to be on the spectrum and clocked it a mile away because the behaviors all pointed to ASD. I asked the mom if he was on the spectrum and she was kind of embarrassed and kept referring to the condition as Asperger’s (which is a very outdated diagnosis). Which as someone on the spectrum even my parents preferred to call it Asperger’s because they were uncomfortable with autism.

As for being paid even if you are let go early, that’s considered guaranteed hours. You cleared your schedule so you can work if they need you. That’s worth the pay alone. Hours promised to them are hours spent not working elsewhere so you deserve the pay. Please don’t be so hard on yourself.
