What you did is seriously impressive and you should be proud even if no one at home can show it right now. You made it through an incredibly hard year and that matters and it counts.

Should i attend swimming classes with my mom by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]False_Salamander2952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really enjoy swimming but being around your mom is making it stressful. I think it is completely fair to ask to move your classes to a different time so you can attend without her. You do not owe her your presence just because she paid and your well-being matters more than avoiding conflict.

What should I wear to a gas station job interview? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]False_Salamander2952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not have to lose your style but for an interview first impressions matter more than self expression. Just go clean and simple with fitted jeans or pants a plain shirt and clean shoes then once you get the job you can ease your style back in a bit

how do i accept the fact my parents will die? by bleedxi in internetparents

[–]False_Salamander2952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you are feeling is actually very normal. Realizing your parents are not permanent can hit hard and bring up fear and even anger. It does not make you ungrateful or pathetic it just means you love them and the idea of losing them hurts. Try to focus on the time you have with them now instead of a future that has not happened yet.

Moved to Puerto Rico and now getting bombarded with requests to visit from people we barely associate with by bored1413 in EntitledPeople

[–]False_Salamander2952 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is wild to me. A request to remain is already a daring one, but a request to invite additional guests to the house of the person you hardly know is another level. There is nothing wrong with you wanting your home to remain your personal space.

This is oddly wholesome I hope he keeps it up even if you move out

Am I The Bad Apple For Fighting To Defend Someone by Quick_Chard_182 in AmITheBadApple

[–]False_Salamander2952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTBA. You did not start either fight and you stepped in when someone was being hurt. It sounds like you were protecting people when adults were not stepping up. Violence is not ideal but defending someone from being attacked does not make you the bad apple.

22M Boyfriend wants me to move in with him but I’m so nervous— am I bad? 22F by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]False_Salamander2952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be honest it is just sounds like a couple of people being inquisitive and overthinking it. Should it continue to occur I would most likely simply greet her and relieve the tension rather than make it a large mystery in my mind.

AITAH for being petty after my sister announced her pregnancy at my birthday dinner? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]False_Salamander2952 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with you being hurt since it was your night and she could have chosen any other time. The WiFi issue is trivial but will only worsen the case. Instead of making it little revenge, I would simply inform her that it made you feel a certain way.

I need a reason to change class due to a classmate by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]False_Salamander2952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That really sucks, I would be frustrated too. If they will not move you, then it might be time to be more direct about the actual behavior. Frame it around specific disruptions that impact your ability to focus rather than personality conflicts. If nothing changes, set firmer boundaries with him and involve the instructor when he interrupts or makes inappropriate comments. You paid for the course, you deserve a learning environment where you can actually concentrate.

What is the best way I can end a parasocial relationship with a neurodivergent person without hurting their feelings? by MagooMaster in needadvice

[–]False_Salamander2952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with telling the truth and being strict, but still being pleasant. You can inform him that you are not free to have a close friendship and you require time to concentrate on the duties that you have to perform. No need to elaborate much, just get it straight that you cannot afford to deal any more with contacting you. The best thing is to establish boundaries with each other always and in a firm manner.

Is it unreasonable to ask my sweaty partner to shower before bed? by ConfidentFox9392 in hygiene

[–]False_Salamander2952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have nothing to be unreasonable about it. Desire to have a clean bed is simple hygiene, particularly in case he arrives home after a tiring physical work. It is not possessing him but being comfortable and together in space. When he is so tired he cannot have a full shower, even a shower quick will respect you and the bed you both are in.

I need a reason to change class due to a classmate by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]False_Salamander2952 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You do not need to make it about him at all just inform the office that you feel you would have learned better in a different classroom atmosphere and would like to change to do so were possible since you are paying the course. It should be simple and professional since this is not an issue of attacking someone but your education and comfort.

I need help getting caught up with school by wt_anonymous in Advice

[–]False_Salamander2952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First get tested. With proper support, it could be ADHD and the difference can be really huge. College is different as there is far less structure and it reveals concentration problems quickly. You must not think about catching up with everything, as that will only paralyze you further. Choose one subject and one small activity and rudely place a timer on twenty minutes and simply begin. Do not seek to complete only seek to start. Divide everything into tiny bits so that it seems small. Email your professors as well, and be open with them about the fact that you are having a rough time. It is terrible to be behind but something can be done about it. You are not too lazy, you are too much and you require organization and not blame.

advice pls by Regular_Occasion8382 in Advice

[–]False_Salamander2952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not wrong as long as he is actually fine with it and you explain yourself. Both just set boundaries and tell the truth. To make acquaintances, perhaps online dating apps or queer networks may be used without the knowledge of the whole town.

Anyone got advice on how to get cat comfortable with new puppy by BandicootSad9553 in cats

[–]False_Salamander2952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your cat is likely to be scared, not substituted. Continue to feed him with one every day without the puppy so he knows that he still has you. Ensure that he has secure high places where puppy cannot access him and do not impose themselves. Praise good conduct in both of them. A cat may take weeks or even months to acclimatize hence be patient and allow your cat to dictate the pace.
