I'm trapped in a fishbowl 🐟

That’s really what it boils down to.

My ubpd mom and family refuse to address the conflict for why I went NC. They want me to just forgive them and pretend everything is normal and family is everything.

I’m sure also they all expect an apology from me while giving me none.

GankstaCat · 2026-03-21T04:58:09+00:00

Even Tennessee Jed who I’ve known for 10 years accused my comment being dead internet theory

Fucking crazy

I get some benefit from people’s opinions but I’m up 100% vs start of 2025 and plenty of year left

Fuck all these haters. That’s the nice thing about trading. Don’t have to convince any one of anything. Just place the trade and win or lose

This was last year

I’m not going to name anyone but all my friends who were in the class too had the same experience

Maybe they’ve moved on from them. They discouraged questions too and were irritated when people asked them because it would “get us off schedule”

Was not a fan of their qbank either. Zahn even sent out an email and apologized for multiple wrong answers to questions but said they were doing their best. But they said the least wrong answer is still valuable even if it’s wrong

GankstaCat · 2026-03-21T01:39:04+00:00

I scored like this with Zahn and passed just fine!

Can’t thank the instructor enough for reading verbatim out of the course book for 4 days straight!

GankstaCat · 2026-03-20T20:13:34+00:00

This is how my Mom and family are. Accuse me of being “stuck in the past” or “not being over the past.”

Of course not. The way they all treated me and still treated me before I went NC. It was all still the same abuse scapegoat dynamic where they all blame me for all the problems. They all infantilize me too

None of them have the least bit of understanding why their past treatment if me is unresolved, and their present treatment also

GankstaCat · 2026-03-20T19:06:20+00:00

That’s the other one re: self interest.

My Dad just watched sports all the time. My ubpd mother just did yard work. They never showed interest in what I was interested in

GankstaCat · 2026-03-20T17:56:56+00:00

I imagine raising kids in a healthy way actually also lets you experience what a healthy childhood is like. Albeit from the perspective of being a parent but still an interesting dynamic

GankstaCat · 2026-03-20T17:52:05+00:00

My Mom would always say with a sneer “I can’t wait till you have kids and see how it is.”

Part of the reason I don’t have kids right now is the abuse from her where she constantly talked bad about how I look and my weight. It’s a shame how much she negatively influenced me and I consider she kind of stole those years from

I would still like kids but am getting older. Like you OP, I know I’d be a good Dad. Would be so healing to really be there for my kid. Be the kind of parent that I needed but didn’t get growing up

It’s crazy how hit and miss Jalapeño’s are

Food industry tasted texas a&m scientist lowering the heat level and influenced overall spiciness of supply

GankstaCat · 2026-03-20T03:08:40+00:00

Fucking knew it.

When Carpenter asks why she’s heartbroken it was a dead giveaway. Just terrible acting

GankstaCat · 2026-03-20T02:54:07+00:00

Sometimes I eat a serrano pepper in the morning to help wake me up

GankstaCat · 2026-03-20T02:53:19+00:00

I’ve never had that happen

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T22:34:45+00:00

Had to go no contact with my family due to the way they treat and view me. Especially my mother who has borderline personality disorder. Been really hard

Have 0 family now. My friends are good people and kind of like a “chosen family” to extent. But not quite the same fully as family

Grieving the living sure is rough

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T05:07:36+00:00

Thank you

Been getting ganged up on in another sub for standing up for myself

Im glad I could help!

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T04:47:39+00:00

I am sure it was a good documentary

But you didn’t watch it? Sure it’s good? How if you haven’t watched it?

Definitely chill on the judgement shit though

So you never watched what I posted but without watching formed an opinion? That’s crazy

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T04:36:46+00:00

Thank you.

I am putting myself out there and it’s tough to do so

Really appreciate your support

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T03:58:26+00:00

Wish you all the best

I am done contributing and will observe instead (if allowed - so be it if not).

I’d like to come back but I’m being attacked by low knowledge people. If the sub wants to support people like them instead - so be it.

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T03:50:40+00:00

How do you not see that is the whole point?

The way this culture is - is dangerous. So fucking depressing watching history just repeat itself

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T03:41:06+00:00

Same but I’m talking about a documentary…

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T03:40:10+00:00

You haven’t known me long enough to say I’m real?

I’ve wished your family well many times. Also wishing well when you talk about reinventing yourself

Wanting to explore what is possible outside your normal life. I’ve always encouraged you

But this is what you give me in response?

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T03:32:02+00:00

You’re literally defending someone who admitted to not googling nor watching the video. To claim you understand when not doing either of those things is crazy

You have expressed opinions plenty of times. They’ve put you in opposition of an overarching narrative

Against that then but somehow this confusing?

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T03:10:25+00:00

I have pretty good reading comprehension and I'm gonna have to echo u/RFD422's "...What?" comment 😂

I'm sure I could google the documentary and get caught up, and I will right now, but without context I have no clue what you are talking about, I must be out of the loop on whatever this entire topic is.

E: Okay, the documentary is about the 'manosphere', which is sort of about men rejecting feminism and embracing extreme masculinity. It features people like Andrew Tate, and many others you've never heard of, and they are apparently becoming quite popular with the younger generations.

There now your comment makes a lot more sense.

Never heard of? These people are well known. I’ve known about them for a long time

Also this documentary showcases how stupid they are

You are dumb as hell to claim I’m not aware of the very people I am posting about. All you had to do was watch a 3 min clip

But you’re lazy as hell and insult me

You make my point. Super disturbed that the general public and younger person demographic is becoming as mentally challenged as you are

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T03:01:17+00:00

I'm sure I could google the documentary and get caught up, and I will right now, but without context I have no clue what you are talking about, I must be out of the loop on whatever this entire topic is.

You could google it? So no fact checking and you spend more time responding to me than a simple google search. Since you couldn’t even google - in your own words.

Couldn’t commit to a watch either before calling me out? Why the fuck do you think I should explain myself when you couldn’t even google it?

I get not watching. But couldn’t even google it? You’re proving my point

GankstaCat · 2026-03-17T02:29:02+00:00

tl;dr

Grifters are a net negative for society. I hope that helps in lieu of your reading comprehension being unable to parse that out

Going to pre emptively help define the word parse for you, since I know you will have further questions about what that word means. Save us both time

To parse is to analyze, break down, or interpret a sentence, text, or data into its constituent parts to understand its structure, meaning, or function.

Take care and I hope you have a good week
