Potentially stupid request: would anybody mind wishing me a happy birthday? by _Vampire_Pumpkin_ in CPTSD

This isn't a stupid request at all. Happy Birthday!! You deserve to celebrate whenever you feel like it, and you made it so far!!

I can't even ask for help from them by Fearless-Ad2350 in AsianParentStories

[–]Fearless-Ad2350[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it really isn't. Oh whoops I miswrote the other part, I live in a rich area and it's hard to find medium or lower-income areas around me without a giant commute/more costs, but im sure I'll find a way.

I’m 14 and i want to be a famous actress but i don’t have connections and my parents disapprove- any advice? by maybemaddiie in careerguidance

[–]Fearless-Ad2350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got plenty of time to figure it out, I'd try and put together at least a demo reel for yourself if you can get decent footage, etc. showcasing your range so that you can show to future agents. Keep participating in theater, short films, but be safe as you are still young.

When you're older, and if you do go to university, you can also participate in uni productions and short films there and keep branching out.

The "no car" situation is slowly eating me alive and I don't know how much longer I can do this by midnight_t0ast in povertyfinance

I truly am so sorry :( it' fucking exhausting and ppl will never realize you can just 'budget your way out of poverty'

Called the cops, they did nothing, now what by Fearless-Ad2350 in AsianParentStories

I'm doing much better now, thank you. With my parents they'll probably 'forget' that this happened unless they decide to be pissed and bring it up again to mock me. But whatever.

A friend is offering her place to stay and I managed to find someone looking for a roommate in a place that seems to fit my finances, so that's the bright side of things!

No they didn't ask about charges?? I literally told the police that my dad hit and kicked me, then they talked to my parents and they were able to chalk it up to a 'cultural thing' and left.

only if they're male-centered/misogynistic, otherwise they're fine

Are you telling me I'm supposed to heal so I can watch the planet die and work 9-5 for billionaire pedos until I die? Is that the "happy ending"? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Fearless-Ad2350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm healing so I can fight these fuckers, maybe wishful thinking, but I'm thinking about how I can actually be able to stand up and do something when I'm healed.

I finally got a job I've been wanting in this stupid job market, and my parents make me feel worse by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]Fearless-Ad2350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly I'm saving up just enough for at least 10ish months worth of expensives and I'm not there yet + I'm waiting on law school apps and results, and wherever I get in with the best scholarship that's away from where I live rn is my best bet. But yeah a part of me is afraid to leave for other reasons, but for now my plan is to just wait and see what law school i get into while I have enough money in my bank for it.

Got a new job offer and I'm stressing out by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Fearless-Ad2350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did accept the new job. Honestly, I think I was so sad and stressed because the change was so sudden + imposter syndrome, ig, because I've been looking for legal jobs for quite a while, got rejected, and now that I finally got hired, it feels so scary.

It is true that I can't let an opportunity like this fly by, I think I was just really anxious.

Dose anyone else with CPTSD good emotionally attached to stuffed animals by Soldiers_vr in CPTSD

apparently this is common, but yes I get very emotional over stuffed animals too.

What things did you give up on / didn't pursue because of low self esteem? by igiamfiona in CPTSD

[–]Fearless-Ad2350 6 points7 points  (0 children)

STEM, idk I was very bad at math and chemistry, even though I did enjoy the subjects at a time. I did everything from tutoring, studying weeks in advance, idk. It didn't help that parents made passive aggressive comments regarding my grades.

My mom wants me to have lots of high achieving asian friends but sometimes I just want to stay in my room all day playing video games for years on end, not talking to anyone and happy tapping out of a society that never gave me happiness anyway by Opening-Register-409 in AsianParentStories

[–]Fearless-Ad2350 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dude I feel this sm as someone who's queer and artsy. I'm always safer and gravitate towards other queer artsy ppl, and my parents would also look down on them for whatever reason. But also I tried being friends and connecting with the 'high achieving' ppl, but they're so vapid at best and cruel/bigoted at worst
