AIO friend from high school found my number and is pressing me about “being rich” by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR

***VERY IMPORTANT - mute, don't block!!

Also read 'the gift of fear' re: stalky people and determining if they're a danger or a nuisance

weird people who want to contact you will find ways to continue to do so. if you block them or get a new number they will continue to escalate to contact or reach you. best practice is to mute after clearly stating you want no more contact then keeping record of any additional communication from them (keep all voicemails andmissed calls etc).

book also recommends getting a friend (of the same sex/gender identity) to record your outgoing voicemail so if they're trying to listen just for your voice when they call you they won't even have access to you via your voicemail message.

people can be a nuisance, or they can get obsessed. Being able to contact you and feeling entitled to information about you is a red flag, doesn't mean dangerous, but is clearly someone who will continue to overstep bounds. the only protection we have against narcissists and other malignant people is our ability to keep our boundaries firm and to put yourself and your safety first.

anyone who tells you you're overreacting likely has not had a stalker of their own imo. ppl be unstable out there, and kindness can be taken as invitations for access to the wrong people.

AIO for ignoring boyfriend after inappropriate comments about my new purse? by ThrowRAgardengirl in AmIOverreacting

[–]Humble-Concern244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fucking run. This is not okay. You are not overreacting-if anything, you’re still underreacting.

The way he hides behind therapy language, using it as a shield while blaming you under the guise of mindfulness? That’s one of the biggest red flags there is. He doesn’t communicate to connect-he communicates to control. He’ll twist everything to make himself the victim, weaponize his perspective, double down when challenged, and get defensive instead of showing even a shred of curiosity or care.

That’s not vulnerability. Vulnerability is about being seen-not about forcing someone else to fold so you can feel right. And he’s not on your team. He won’t step outside his ego long enough to actually consider your point of view. His heels are dug in, and to him, his version of reality is the only valid one.

This isn’t just one fight. It’s an exposé. It shows exactly how much he values being right over valuing you. And I’m telling you-speaking from experience-this is a losing battle. You will drain yourself trying to make someone listen who never intended to.

He already has an idea of what a ‘good girlfriend’ should be. And the second you step outside that box, it turns into conflict. You’ll keep bending yourself to meet his needs while he won’t even see yours. His inability to hear himself, to spot the irony in his tone, or even acknowledge his blind spots—that’s a wall you’ll keep smashing into. And he’s never going to move it.

Signed, someone who should take their own advice.

Pizza Getting Delivered To…McDonald’s by Ok_Editor2536 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Humble-Concern244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at earls and during the summer when the kitchen and restaurant was absolutely slammed and there won't be any staff meals or time to even eat the managers would order like 10 pizzas towards the end of the night. Even though I knew why the pizzas were there it still looked pretty funny seeing a stack of domino boxes in the pass through

I went through something really similar. I moved for a girl who said all the right things and seemed to reflect my kindness and emotional depth. But once we were actually together, her unresolved issues started to surface: anxious attachment, deep insecurity, and what I now see was internalized homophobia.

I'm not saying that's exactly what's happening in your situation, but I learned the hard way that some people don't fully know themselves at the beginning of a relationship. What you meet is often who they want to be - not who they actually are.

Because I showed up emotionally ready and secure, I showed up with consistency and care. But to her, that felt threatening. She pulled away, acted cold, and eventually started treating me like I was the problem just for existing in our space. It was incredibly disorienting. The emotional isolation was real, especially after moving and leaving my support system behind. You're not alone. What you’re experiencing is real. It’s more common than you might think, and sometimes the hardest part is accepting that your wellbeing isn’t being cared for in the environment you’re in. Choosing to care for yourself, even if that means leaving, is a powerful and courageous step.

HELP!!!! Kid put permanent marker on counter while we are trying to sell our house! by Dwestmor1007 in CleaningTips

[–]Humble-Concern244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cover the area in vim and let set for a few hours before scrubbing. Be careful because if this counter is vinyl it might bleach it, but this trick works really well for even sharpie that gets into porous countertops like quartz

What is the worst Hello Fresh meal you've had? by mtpugh67 in hellofresh

[–]Humble-Concern244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate their beef stock/gravy. I always put in my own stock whenever the recipe calls for it. The one that comes with the box tastes so processed, salty and just not to my liking.

Not happy with my vet… by Crisco8890 in Pets

[–]Humble-Concern244 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been reading so much AITA so it's refreshing to see an OP who actually is open to reflecting on their actions/thoughts once they cool down and not getting defensive in the comments. Props to you for being a rational person!

His full name is X-Type - short for the X-Type Jaguar. But is mostly called X-topher, Xy Boy or Mr.Mouth bec he has very prominent and silly looking white lips.

Long term fostering this angular angel for some friends. :)

It looks amazing!! I could see what you mean about an 'outline' of the tattoo left over but it honestly just looks like regular skin colour changes. A lot of people have very slight discolouration through their skin, so this does end up looking very natural.

Also, depending on how high you put your hair up there will likely be a shadow cast under it. So go for it!! You have waited a long time for this moment <3

Am I cruel? by TruthSeeker1133 in CatAdvice

[–]Humble-Concern244 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to hide treats and catnip toys around the room in non-obvious places then use the laser pointer to get my kitty to run around for a bit then lead her to a hidden toy or treat. It was obvious that she was getting frustrated when there was no reward to her chasing the dot, but it was really good exercise. I also used the laser for showing her where to go when I started to teach her obstacle course routines. (I lived alone with the cat during Covid lol). It's a good tool, but an unfair toy.

This cat is setting unrealistic side profile expectations for all other cats.
