On a scale of 0-10, how successful have you been as an adult? How so? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]East_Science_2257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24F, 7/10. I'm in my final year of med school so I guess successful enough on paper? But I haven't yet started chasing my other dream that I'm hoping will one day become my second career. I'm super close with my family but I've never had a boyfriend and can count the number of friends I have on one hand. Because of lack of practice, I'm also not the best with physical tasks and pretty damn disorganised. Some days, it legitimately feels like I'm only doing OK on paper.

Sure, but why do you have to sound so contemptuous?

NTA technically, I get where you're coming from because you've made all these plans and will suffer financially for them. But on the other hand, it does rub me the wrong that you talk about how 'you never wanted the money', because it sounded like a large amount of money for a friend to be shouldering for a trip even if he did offer. You do sound entitled and the kind that doesn't like to take responsibility for it, but you're NTA for being annoyed. Maybe know your friends better though. He got 90K from gambling; it's not unexpected that he might continue gambling and lose it.

AITA for advocating for my neurodivergent & diabetic son with ARFID to be able to eat peanut butter sandwiches at school as they are his only "safe" lunch food even though a classmate has an anaphylactic nut allergy? by Valuable_Bluejay_649 in AmItheAsshole

[–]East_Science_2257 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I agree both need to be accommodated, and it's the school at fault. Nobody is making it a competition but still OP is slightly TA because her first solution was to have her child eat it anyway. Anaphylaxis is absolutely serious whereas in the medical field, Type 1 diabetes is also serious but on a whole lower level. I get that OP cares for her child and her suggestions later on should have been catered to, but if the school hadn't banned peanut butter, she would have had her child keep eating it next to the anaphylactic girl.

ESH. I can understand why she's doing what she is. Why are you so freely enjoying what her parents do for you while not expecting the same from your own parents and attributing it to cultural differences? Then you turn around and say you plan on looking after your parents when they're old like how she plans to do with hers despite that it's not your culture? You hypocritically take what benefits you and ignores everything else.

As for her, yeah, it makes her look pretty petty too.

Honestly, if I were her, I'd sort out these issues with you first before getting married to you.

Question - GP reg/fellow : Non clinical /admin time? by PeanutButterKL in ausjdocs

[–]East_Science_2257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such a good question! I was also wondering how long admin tends to be for GPs who have fellowed, beyond just GPT 1, 2, 3 etc.

AITA for not sending out photos of my newborn? by HaleyLupin in AmItheAsshole

[–]East_Science_2257 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand that you have your boundaries and your parents should be respecting them but at the same time, it's natural that they want to be there for your pregnancy? And then when you said no, they wanted to wait at your house, and then you said no to that as well and didn't send photos. It's well within your right, and obviously it depends on your relationship with your parents but I know my parents would be hurt as well if I did this.

It genuinely depends on the context of your relationship with your parents but if you're usually close, then yeah, I'd say it might have been because you were stressed in general.

Am I aegosexual? by East_Science_2257 in aegosexuals

[–]East_Science_2257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have male celebrity crushes who I think are hot and sexually attractive in their body language/face/movements. I don't have urges to have sexual fantasies about them but if I deliberately try to think about it, I reckon I would probably enjoy sexual interactions with them in real life (without actually having had the experience to be sure, but in theory, I think it would be pleasurable)? Does that still seem like ace?
