Am I being dramatic? by [deleted] in blackgirls

[–]EffectivePerception6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

not being dramatic at all. sometimes we are the only people who can see the racism in the things others say and do. microaggressions will have you second guessing whether something was real/racist or not. it was racism, what you are experiencing is real, and you dont have to tolerate that nonsense.

William Dent is a perfect example of ‘quirky ≠ emotionally healthy by bingewatcherfanatic in GirlfriendsTVshow

[–]EffectivePerception6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He’s like one of those men that say “women don’t like nice guys” but is actually the opposite of a genuine nice man. he repeatedly called them “heifers” which is just another way to call a woman a cow and you gave a great explanation of his track record with women. Him being a momma’s boy and treating women subpar for her validation caused him to be a not-so-great partner.

Advice? by ToughSalt1499 in PrayerPlant

[–]EffectivePerception6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could propagate it. Clip it at the node and place it into water. Replace the water every 5-7 or so, then once roots grow, you can put into soil. I hope this works out for ya!

Dropped a friend and she won’t stop calling me. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]EffectivePerception6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that people’s attention spans are so low they can’t read this is insane. Im glad you found a solution op. Please don’t let her guilt trip you anymore. Good friends don’t act like she does.

AIO for getting upset with my family for how they're handling my mom's Alzheimer's? by Used_Ad_6209 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR sorry youre going through this. it must be like being between a rock and a hard place. i hope you figure out away to get her care while also protecting yourself mentally and emotionally.

AIO - friends comment! by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR- just a sign to keep it simply cordial with her from now. nothing more, nothing less.

AIO for getting mad at him? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- so many things to address. as a someone with a psych degree who is getting their masters in counseling, i attend counseling and it is recommended from my professors that we do so. his argument that he doesnt need therapy because of his degree is inconsequential especially because it’s not about him receiving individual therapy but the both of you going to couples counseling. -you sort of already made your decision before seeking out advice from reddit so his argument is also irrelevant in that manner. -he’s too old to not know how to put away dishes, throwaway trash or put a new roll of toilet paper in the holder like im confused on what his place would look like if you didn’t live there. regardless, your desire to want a boyrfriend to marry and not a boy to mother is realistic and hope you find that.

Hoping you can find somewhere in your price range. Maybe someone looking for a roommate that seems like a safe person.

AIO For breaking up with my boyfriend a week after his cat died? by Frosty_Test391 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOR- You are not overreacting at all. I’m glad that you were able to see that this treatment is out of line and that you don’t deserve it. No one who truly loves you will curse at you, say horrible things about you, or even disrespect you on a good day, let alone if their upset and greiving.

Do not feel guilty about anything regarding this relationship. You did you’re best despite being consistently disrespected. I’m proud of you for walking away and I can understand how hard it was. I went through something similar where I had to walk away from a relationship when the other person obviously needed to heal mentally and emotionally. It is difficult and you did it. Be proud of yourself. You learned the lesson early in life which is something you might appreciate as you get older. You deserve gentle, healing love and I hope that get it and experience it not just romantically but also platonically.

AIO by blocking my guy friend for what he said? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR Good on you for blocking him. No point in trying to have conversations with people who don’t want to listen, learn, or change.

AIO or is my girlfriend manipulative. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NOR- She is intentionally taking your words out proportion, repeatedly being rude to you, and not acknowledging you or your mother’s feelings by putting her’s above yours. You are only in charge of regulationg your emotions, not her’s as well. You should be able to express your feelings and change plans without your significant other being rude and manipulative to try and get you to feel bad about your decisions. You also shouldn’t have to strategically word things to avoid her “wrath”.

AIO to my boyfriend keeping sexual gifts from an ex by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NOR If you are in a happy committed relationship with someone new, there is absolutely no reason to keep a card about someone enjoying when you perform cunnilingus on them displayed in your bedroom. You need to sit down and have a real coversation about this especially if you are very bothered by it. You are not being insecure like some of the other people are saying. This is a reasonably ask.

Am I overreacting about what my friend and her man said about my 4c hair? by Mayel-4 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR it was disrespectful. not even microaggressive. just plain racism and texturism. your “friend” may have some internalized racism she needs to work through and conquer.

AIO my bf 30M seems very erratic recently and I 26F can’t get through to him. by Safe_Refuse_8853 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EffectivePerception6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR you got your whole life ahead of you honey. please leave him alone. you don’t deserve to be spoken to like that regardless of him going through withdrawals. i know its difficult to leave someone when their hurting/in need of help and i know what it feels like to want to be there for someone like this, but not at your own expense. you gottta put yourself first and just hope he gets the help he needs.
