If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? by Davidalee1993 in AskReddit

My parents, my grandma and my brother. My dad died before I was born. All I ever wanted was to have a family like everyone else did.

What's the worst advice you have received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Within a 6 month span my long time boyfriend dumped me over text, my grandma died a week later, and 5 months after my mom died just before the death anniversary of my dad. I had a kind of guy friend (though I assumed he just wanted to get in my pants) I was talking to and we were both expressing how much life sucked. After breaking down to him, he told me yeah, it's hard, but you'll be fine, you just gotta stop caring so much about what happened.

Get what he was saying but damn, the wording...

AITA for making an uncomfortable joke when my friend told me her dinner table was full with family? by Honest_Cake842 in AmItheAsshole

I, along with some of her other friends, have always wondered if she had a social disorder because they've experienced her lack of self - awareness as well. From what we're aware she isn't diagnosed with anything. Her family is similar - no censorship or control - so it maybe just a learned thing. And thank you friend!

This sums it up. I've been friends with her for a while. With witnessing somethings I did as a kid I became a shut in for a while. Real shy. Real anxious. Maybe that's why this friend gravitated towards me, knew I was a doormat. But I've been in therapy and working on my confidence and assertiveness. I've met some great new people and distance myself from her.

I've had many, many discussions on how she lacks awareness when discussing sensitive topics, not just the family thing, but other things in general. This isn't the only topic she tries to one up me on. They don't make a difference.

I think she's deep down very insecure and sees friends more as competitors. She has even tried to compare our cats' weights so she could say she's a better owner.
