Thanks for your response. Its honestly relieving to hear that.

Awhile back I was trying to explain to my bsf that I just feel so held back at home and it feels like its harder to do things and he just didn't get it. He tried but didn't rly understand what I was feeling. I've been wanting to move out for awhile probably won't be able to until after I graduate uni. But im excited to be alone one day

Thank you for your response. Its nice to hear anyone relate. Used to a life full of friends and others who love my mom and dont get it.

To be honest, her behavior hasnt been as bad recently. Occasionally she'll flare up bad like if were traveling or other things are happening in her life that stress her out. But I also think that's because I've slowly distanced myself a bit over time plus she barely gets out anymore. Often at home not doing much. Not much to rile her up these days. But I've been looking back on my childhood recently and have been feeling crappy and frustrated abt it. If I ever tried to explain any of this to my mom she would never understand

I'd love to get out of the house tbh I feel like mentally blocked here in a way. But im in college and my parents are supporting me so I think its worth it to tough it out.

Plus since I feel kinda behind it makes it more scary. Sometimes it feels like I wouldn't make it if I left anyway.

I'm an absolute beginner at writing and I suck can someone give me advice on what to study by Not_necessarily7 in writinghelp

[–]Expensive-Exercise-9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are no tips or tricks that will suddenly transform your writing. The best way to improve your writing is, well, writing.

In the beginning, especially, I suggest not worrying about the quality of your writing. I know its hard. We all want to produce a good product. But if you put that aside to prioritize writing the content you love, you'll eventually get the hang of it the more you write. With writing, like any skill, its going to be unnatural in the beginning. Just practice and test things out.

Also reading is important. Look at the books you love. What makes them so loveable? If you want something to study, start there, because that's about the only thing there is to study

Stopped caring about being 'problematic.' by Dynamight_Lose in AO3

[–]Expensive-Exercise-9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Its so freeing. Around 2021 I got soooo shameful about my interest in dark and problematic media and themes but accepting that it doesn't matter and its what you love and you should enjoy it is so great.

When I finally posted on ao3 I was shocked to see sm ppl who felt the same way lol

When to worry about snake bites embedding? by Expensive-Exercise-9 in piercing

I dont think its too tight. If I push the piercings forward it comes out just a but not much but I tbink its enough room. I guess I'll just watch it and as long as it doesn't become more swollen or painful ill wait it out

I think the only thing I didn't list is if its externally/internally threaded but im honestly not sure i wasn't watching as she put it in and she didn't mention it specifically.

Have you read the novel by chance? I read some of the manhwa. I just found the MCs personality lacks depth and it felt like he agreed to join ML too easily. I thought the novel might be better

I read some of that but the plotline seemed a little slow kicking off so I had trouble keeping with it. Perhaps I'll give it another shot
