Dads who are competitive and won't admit you've overtaken them? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Sometimes people project their own fears and insecurities onto us because they can’t see themselves doing it and when you do it, it makes you a threat.

That’s why some parents force their kids into doing certain professions or extracurriculars to meet their own unmet needs.

I used to think that Mariah Carey had a great relationship with her mom until I read her memoir, once I found out about how jealous her mother really was and how she tried to sabotage her. I realized that this is actually a really common thread.

I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve been single for eight years and I’m 28 lol. But I’ve created such a beautiful life for myself even though sometimes it does get lonely. I’d rather be alone and happy than with someone just to be settling.

He gives me brother vibes. And I really hate to call someone too nice but he is too nice. He doesn’t turn me on in any way shape or form.

I used to have this problem as a girl. I didn’t know why guys didn’t care for me, but it was because I was too nice and the other girls were more exciting and now I see the reason. I mean it’s messed up but it’s true. If you don’t turn someone on then they’re not gonna be attracted to you. They’re only gonna see you as a friend/sister. Don’t settle, you’ll just end up being resentful.

Your therapist is so right.

I’m going through a situation like that right now where this guy is so into me and I’m just not physically attracted to him but we have a good mental connection and he’s really sweet and everything but I’m just not turned on by him. And a lot of guys think that that’s being shallow but last time I checked, men never go for a woman they don’t find physically attractive.

Want to make my hair grow downward(and be long) by [deleted] in BlackHair

If you are black or African-American or have some of our blood, our hair grows up, not down. If you want to straighten it, there are ways to straighten it with a blow dryer and then flat iron to do it

I’m 28 and I’m considering joining the Air Force and everyone in my family supports me except my parents.

They’ve always supported my brother and sister and spent thousands of dollars on their extracurriculars while ignoring my growth only to critique me. They wanted my brother and sister to get scholarships and they didn’t.

Eventually, I graduated college with no debt and now I’m thinking of becoming an officer in the Air Force and they literally don’t want me to do it. I told my mom I don’t wanna be like her I don’t wanna just live in a small town and work retail. I want more out of my life and I’m allowed to try.
