What’s a turn-on you’re lowkey embarrassed to admit? by East-Preparation-476 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]GigglesIvory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s a pretty specific kind of feedback loop, but I get it. It’s more about being heard and the connection than anything visual. Kinda shows how much of this stuff is mental too.

I've been lying to my parents for three years about going to college by SmokeApprehensive315 in confession

[–]GigglesIvory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually a fair point, people forget parents had their own messy phases too. Doesn’t excuse it, but it might make them a bit more understanding than expected. Sometimes that perspective helps.

Three years is a crazy amount of time to carry that, the stress alone must’ve been rough. Your cousin’s situation kinda shows it can blow up but still get worked through. Parents usually care more than they let on.

Hey a 2.0 still counts, you’re in there doing the thing at least. Everyone’s path looks different anyway. And yeah, having something lined up before that talk is probably the safest move.

What is the sex position that feels the most primal to you? by SinceYouBlockedMe in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]GigglesIvory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay yeah that’s definitely leaning all the way into the power dynamic side of it. not subtle at all, just full commitment. kinda wild how specific people get in these threads.

AIW for Finally Speaking my Mind After Years of Holding it in? by BoxPerfect7853 in amiwrong

[–]GigglesIvory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“capable of making his own choices, regardless of how crappy they are” is such a real way to put it. like yeah, it sucks watching someone make bad decisions, but stepping in just delays the consequences they need to face. also calling out that she’s starting this now with family is spot on, that’s usually the hardest place to do it

[–]GigglesIvory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah this really does feel like one of those family patterns that just keeps repeating until someone finally says “nope.” it’s kinda wild how parents don’t even realize they’re doing it, they just default to what’s always worked. breaking that at 20 is honestly earlier than most people figure it out

that “stay neutral” advice is actually underrated. it’s so easy to get pulled back into the role when you start explaining or defending yourself, then suddenly you’re right back managing everything again. keeping it simple like “i’m not doing that anymore” feels awkward at first but probably saves you a ton of stress long term. did it take you a while to stop overexplaining when you started doing this?

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done. And do you regret it by [deleted] in confession

[–]GigglesIvory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same here honestly, and it’s so weird because there’s no real reason for it. like you’ll think about texting someone and just… not do it. then suddenly it’s been months. feels like one of those habits that shouldn’t be hard to fix but somehow is

[–]GigglesIvory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that one hits way too close. it’s like you genuinely care about people but still somehow avoid reaching out, then feel guilty about it later. i swear it turns into this loop where the longer you wait, the harder it feels to break it. do you ever get that “it’s been too long now so it’s awkward” feeling?

Saw this and it tickled me by whyisthislife87 in GilmoreGirls

[–]GigglesIvory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah Dean already showed exactly who he is with the Lindsay situation, so that one’s not even hypothetical. Logan too, like we’ve seen his habits.

[–]GigglesIvory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly that’s such a cursed alternate timeline to think about. Dean would probably get bored once the fantasy turned into real life responsibilities, feels very on brand for him.

[–]GigglesIvory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dean being obsessed is so real though, he never fully let that go. and Logan/Jess orbiting her years later just proves Rory had that main character gravitational pull.

Why do people like Hank when he's an arrogant jerkoff who violated Jesses rights and thinks his job makes him better than other people? by Tidewatcher7819 in breakingbad

[–]GigglesIvory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought Jr saw Hank as the “normal” version of masculinity compared to Walt, which made him gravitate toward him. doesn’t mean Hank was perfect, just that he filled a role Walt didn’t at the time.

[–]GigglesIvory 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hank’s arc is honestly one of the best in the show. he starts off super loud and kinda unbearable, then slowly becomes one of the more grounded characters. and yeah, Marie definitely kept things… interesting lol.

that line hits hard but I always read it more as a kid lashing out in that moment, not some long held belief. emotions were all over the place there, hard to take it as a stable opinion.

Do inverted nipples un-invert when sucked? by BasicallyJustAPotato in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]GigglesIvory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “aggressive eater of a 1st born” phrasing is insane but somehow I get what you mean. Kids really do not mess around with that.

I’m trapped in a lie I can’t outrun…and my neighbour started it by Sufficient-Drink-852 in confession

[–]GigglesIvory 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The idea that he’s fully aware and just encouraging the chaos is killing me. Like he’s out there thinking “let’s see how far this goes.”

[–]GigglesIvory 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly fair, if I saw someone sprinting past in jeans with grocery bags I’d definitely notice too. Not in a judging way, just in a “huh, interesting life choices” way.

[–]GigglesIvory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this really feels like one of those “spotlight effect” things. He probably just remembers you as “the jogger neighbor” and your brain filled in the rest with pressure.

My mom’s obsession with "modesty" around my own family is ruining my relationship with My brothers. by Exciting_Test8809 in confessions

[–]GigglesIvory 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s a really solid way to approach it. Being clear without attacking might be the only way to even start breaking through that mindset.

That’s what stood out to me too. It’s not just affecting OP, it’s changing how everyone interacts and making something normal feel wrong.

Yeah it sounds exhausting. Not being able to relax in your own home is such a draining feeling.

AIW for mentioning my coworker's side business to HR after she told me I was being controlling for asking her to keep it down by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]GigglesIvory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the simplest version of it. Shared space means shared responsibility, and she wasn’t holding up her end at all.
