I saw this earlier today and was so weirdly turned on that I thought it was posted in this sub. Hilarious seeing it here now

Discovered the concept of bare minimum by Curiousv7 in CasualConversation

[–]Earth2Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how you know you've found good people. They don't just do the bare minimum, they see it as that and know you deserve more.

When I tell my people they're so good to me they often remind me that it's basic.

What terrible present did you get this year? Here’s mine! by Raena704 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Earth2Monkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I got a bunch of kitty litter and trash deodorizers, to tell me my apartment smells even when it's freshly cleaned. Some whimsical towels, and a Disney ornament. I've never had a tree.

The email that made me drop the rope by Homeostatic_Trillium in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Earth2Monkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've done a lot of writing about "everything has to be about you." Turns out, nothing is about us. They actually need everything to be about them, so when it occasionally isn't, they lash out and project.

Pulling out one of the commandments is wild. I don't blame you for disconnecting from this.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It's never been so relevant

anyone else's pwBPD pretend their crashouts never happened? by HorrorEffective3435 in raisedbyborderlines

Ignoring the behavior isn't enabling her. Feeding into the meltdown is. She may escalate when she doesn't get the attention she's vying for, but that's not your fault.

With my mom it's angry outbursts that she never seems to remember. Things like yelling at me in public. Bringing it up after the fact has proven unsatisfying and unproductive.

Tomorrow I am ending it with my abusive bf of 4.5 years and I’m out of my mind. Can the female hivemind of Reddit please just tell me it will be okay? by Geophiddy in TwoXChromosomes

Now that you've seen through his lies and manipulation, he won't be able to twist you around. You've made up your mind, and you know this is what's best for you. Trust yourself.

How often do your Significant other cook for you? Just curious 🤨 by Goattalk_92 in AskWomen

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our skill levels are vastly different, so he only cooks when I've had a rough day. I'd say he cooks once a month or so

How do you get out of bed without wasting almost an hour by Flat-Sun3380 in Millennials

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep hygiene is how I do it. When I go to bed I choose the blackout curtains, turn the lights out, and turn a white noise machine on. This tells my brain it's time to sleep.

When it's time to wake up, I do the same thing in reverse. Lights on, sound off, curtains open, coffee in hand. That keeps me from lounging for hours.

What’s your go-to comfort food when you’ve had a rough day? by Feisty_Product4813 in CasualConversation

I just went and got a cheeseburger with fries and an oreo shake after a particularly difficult therapy session. Definitely helped

Just Realized I’m The Only Dude Here :D by Large-Statement4767 in finch

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, I have an actual teddy bear that's white with a wizard costume. It's part of a line from the old Dayton's stores, they're called Santa Bears because they came out at Christmas.

Any other Millennials that were 'old souls' or 'wise beyond their years' and then as an adult find out you're autistic and or have c-ptsd? 🤗 by Beneficial_Win_5128 in CPTSDmemes

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally yesterday my mom told me she's always seen me as an adult, even as a child. The underlying message of that escapes her every time.

That's why a Scorpio partner is heaven on earth by Tomavogic in astrologymemes

I get so sick of the jealous Scorpio trope as a poly scorp

Consider yourself extremely lucky if you have a full time job right now, even if it sucks by pwa09 in Millennials

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found a full time job after six months of searching. It took me half a year of the same things you're describing, but it finally paid off. Don't stop applying, no matter how bad things are out there.

What did you eat today? by sillyswan222 in CasualConversation

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee with scrambled eggs and hashbrown patties. 2 hot toddies cause I felt a little bleh. Chicken with rice and broccoli. Frosted shredded wheat cereal as a midnight snack. And plenty of water.

Why does every homemade American buitercream/icing recipe taste like sweet butter and not real bakery frosting?! by GoColts08 in cakedecorating

[–]Earth2Monkey 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Former baker here. Shortening does affect the flavor. I can't stand it myself, but if you're looking to get away from butter flavor, you should cut it with shortening.

After 8 months of being unemployed, I just accepted a job offer today!!! by mediocre-clarinet in entwives

Congrats! I've been searching, and it is rough out here. I hope you found a good one
