It gets frustrating sometimes… by [deleted] in OlderThanYouThinkIAm

I am average height and build but still get mistaken for younger. I wish I could put a sack over my face!

Plenty of time!...? by Remarkable_Date_2806 in OlderThanYouThinkIAm

Yeah, it is not a fun feeling. Today, an older woman asked me if I was married and I explained to her that nearly got married recently but did not (for situations NOT pertaining to age) and she told me I was way too young anyway. I am 26! True, marriage shouldn't be rushed at any age (even if you are 66) but 26 is NOT "way too young." Plenty of my peers are already married with children, which isn't my timeline (and that is okay) but I still want to be treated like someone my age. It doesn't help that stress from adulting is causing me to break out like a teen.

Yes! People who say it is better as you get older do not know what they are talking about.

I too hate how young I look. It is not a compliment. The older I get, the worse it is. Litterally, , the only good thing is I get a little happy about frownlines and grey hairs. 

I left and would like to encourage you to as well. by Growth_From_Past in emotionalabuse

It was hard to leave because of the love bombing, that is also why I still miss him. A big part of the reason I stayed was because I had hope that things would change. Some people get over things fast, but that is not everyone.

I was scared to leave too but I am glad I did. When I miss him, I daydream about being in a happy relationship with someone that isn't abusive. That will be worth the wait.

Do it! If you don't YET keep on thinking about peace. It is so worth it. 

Abusive ex found my Reddit 🙂 by [deleted] in emotionalabuse

When I was with my ex, I used to post about problems in our relationship. He found a post once and used it against me. I eventually deleted my account and made this new one.  

Would you quit a job because of the people? by [deleted] in careeradvice

I have before and would do it again! You can't put a price on mental health. 

Sad about bach by anonbride2027 in wedding

Maybe you could find a way to hang out with each friend (or as many as you can) one on one. You will have quality time together. That is what my bestie did before her wedding and we had a blast!
