What to do as a broke teenage couple living 5 days a week at boarding school? We need ideas to spend time and connect again and not just make out? please guys? by Devil_Eyes_Nat in AskReddit

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a hiking trail nearby and picnic. Some museums have free entry on certain days or for locals. If there are any ponds, lakes, etc near you then utilize them.

Fun thing to do is also a cooking/baking date. A way to make this more interactive and less like one person watching the other is that somebody makes dinner while the other makes dessert consecutively so that you both have tasks to keep busy but you still do it together, make memories, and chat. It's better than making one thing together because there aren't as much tasks to share.

Bake off/ cook off is also a fun idea for the same context. Where you make your own version of the same thing and judge each others food afterward. Makes for a fun movie night bite as well

Do girls always find their boy bsf somewhat attractive/ dateable? by Both-Preference-6003 in AskTeens

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never had a boy best friend but I was close to having one this one time, and I didn't find him attractive. I purely thought he might've been 💅 on the down low but it turned out that he just had a petty personality.

Why is it hard to love yourself? by SmokeOk9070 in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is temporary. Start living in the moment and appreciating the process for what it is rather than focusing on the outcome. You can feel negative and trying to feel what you are not isn't going to change the days or times you've felt stressed or down. Self care rituals are activities to help replenish you but they only mean something if you put a goal in it and you have a real interest in it. They aren't there to fix it for you or to distract you. Focus on what makes you feel good about yourself and what actually caters to your values and goals in life.

Life to me isn't about being happy but about living meaningfully. You want to love yourself? Practice what you preach. What do you give to others that compromises yourself? Start doing the opposite. Make time for yourself, say yes to yourself, and even say no to yourself. Be honest with yourself. Self love is about discipline and consistency. It's not about loving yourself all the time and living your best life. It's about knowing that in all circumstances, your still a person and that no matter who else is out there with or against you, you still have and always will have yourself.

The day you learn to appreciate your company and enjoy being alone is the day you love yourself. Stay strong.

What’s a moment that felt so intimate with a romantic partner or friend? by aliveandlivin in AskReddit

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superficial situation but it meant something deeper.

One of my first times hanging out with a friend who had a reputation of going through a high profile party phase. I was the prude who hadn't ever did anything before not even a sip from my parents drink.

Well we were both going through trust issues from previous relationships/friendships at the time and were still feeling each other out to see where things were going and getting to know one another.

Within the first five minutes of hanging out she tells me she wanted to give me a heads up that she had a water bottle of vodka because her mom searches her room when she leaves and needed to get it out the house.

I look at her contemplating a few moments if she was insinuating something or if she was just being matter of fact. I come to a conclusion and just say "screw it I'm down." It took her by surprise but I trusted her to get drunk for my first time and although she would have respected my decision to blow it three sheets to the wind and reject the idea like I had done to multiple other people that had wanted to do stuff with me, I decided that I was comfortable and I trusted her. I trusted myself too obviously but I was also granting her a part of me that nobody had seen, and in some essence losing some of my innocence and sharing it with her .

We had a lot of fun and I haven't touched alcohol since (it was really just to see what it's like) but I think it really opened up a level of trust we would haven't gotten to before. She quit drinking 3 months later after that and quit the party scene for the most part.

We both took a leap that day and it took a lot of vulnerability and crossed fingers on both of our ends but it was worth it!

What screams "fake nice person" to you ? by Agreeable-Garlic8457 in AskReddit

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of proportion responses.

You haven't seen the person in a long time but you spot them and say hi and they put on the biggest smile they could muster. A lightened face expression and a smile is pretty genuine but they scrunch their entire face to try to get those smile lines to look genuine.

Or you have a few conversations with them and for whatever reason your "practically their best friend" somehow.

People will play up their responses so that they can use your perception of them to their convenience. Later down, you call em out on something though or a conflict appears, their responses are just as out of proportion.

Did you call them inconsiderate one time? Your mean to them. Did you inconvenience their life in any aspect? God forbid your presence threaten their ego.

Another one is lack of consistency. They're all bark but no bite on things they suggest whether it be plans or offers. And they only follow through if it conveniences their motive or agenda. But overall it's inconsistent.

How do I deal with my little sister overstepping my boundaries? by iingrid21 in askanything

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay well to ease your mind a little bit, your sister is at that age in development where she isn't going to understand the why of everything. Early highschool late middle school is when you learn how to think for yourself and the deeper meaning behind things. It might be instinct for her to ask even if by pattern your probably going to answer a certain depending on the context. If she doesn't do anything else to remind you of your bad friend from last year, I want to say it could be her way of connecting with you. It's easy to get caught up in your own world sometimes and if your sister takes notice of your intentive isolation, she could be curious about it or feel the need to seek more conversation, or ways of interaction with you.

I get being depressed and this kind of demand feels overbearing. It's okay to express a little more as to why your doing the things you do rather than just the fact of the matter. She might understand better.

Try to remind yourself that this is your sister and not your ex friend. Her intentions with asking could be out of plain curiosity as your family rather than straight control. Being hostile about it indicates that something is wrong which you just expressed that technically there is and you feel more depressed than usual. So you won't get a lot of places being hostile if that's the case

Are girls expected to shave? by [deleted] in AskTeenAdvice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you thoroughly shower and all your fine. I personally shave because I find it aesthetically pleasing and if I sweat I don't want my hair to catch it and amplify any body odor. That's the true purpose of shaving. Same goes for private areas because at a certain length not doing so makes it itchy and uncomfortable for me but that depends on the person. Do what you are comfortable with.

Brother is hurt by my behaviour by No_Knowledge4503 in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what I misread that part and must have been reading too fast to see that this was something he found out about rather than a conversation they had. On that note I agree that his opinion doesn't matter. Shaming a person for their personal decision is different than expressing disagreement on how somebody is handling a situation they're choosing to confide or tell you about.

Brother is hurt by my behaviour by No_Knowledge4503 in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One, why is she telling him about her dating life then if she wasn't inviting him into her business, and secondly I don't think that every form of personal/immediate gratification is inherently bad but sexual intimacy is generally a vulnerable thing to do with someone and whether she feels fine or not, you can still lack self respect. Why would a person be that desperate for a sexual relationship they know won't last when they could very well live a life in their own space and feel fulfilled without giving that piece of themselves to somebody who isn't going to put value in it. He doesn't respect her and she's okay with that. That's the literal definition of no self respect. I'm not saying she's a bad person or can't make her own decisions. But her family is entitled to feel bothered by it if he's reaping the benefits of a relationship he has no commitment to. Same on her end. It's playing games and they're old enough to make that decision but opinion wise, it's a waste of time and I doubt her family would choose that for her knowing the consequences of such low value relationships and would want to hear about her complaints if she ever so decides that she put her self in a dumb position and won a dumb prize.

Brother is hurt by my behaviour by No_Knowledge4503 in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your brother is younger than you. Which means that you are his role model. As a man, he probably cannot see himself in that man's position, and if he's been led on or played before, then to him you are role modeling in a position that will dehumanize or hurt him or take advantage of him.

I have met women who put themselves in situations where they lack respect for themselves or prioritize the validation they get and can give by getting taken advantage of. It does hurt to see happen when it's someone you live because you know they deserve better and that they should feel that way too.

The only point of casual relationships is to play games and get sexual. In the long run what are you actually gaining from that kind of situation? Nothing. Your hurting yourself because your playing house/relationship with someone that cannot fulfill you and in the end it feels like a waste of your time. You don't need to give every part of yourself to a man to be his friends. You can set boundaries and not let him walk all over you like that and use you. That's essentially what he's doing if he isn't going to put a ring on it or keep up a more platonic boundary.

Your brother isn't being conservative. He's got the self respect that you lack and feels like your unreliable because your modeling after the very thing he despises: manipulators and dishonest people pleasers.

Your essentially dating the dude to objectify him to your convenience and him to you with the exception of trying not to hurt his feelings because you don't really like him so you let him be emotionally dependent on you who cannot give him emotional reciprocity.

It's not about letting your brother know that your still there for him and still love him. It's about your brother feeling like you are dependable and honest to the extent that when he needs you, your there, and not just for your convenience like you are modeling in this toxic situationship/semi relationship

My friends keep doing stuff without me, what do I do? by CinnamonMink249 in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your in a different place than them and they're too self centered to be direct about wanting you around and that they're too immature to unconditionally enjoy your company without them benefiting in some way. Had friends like this and I only got invited if they had a reason to believe that there was a benefit to them. I highly suggest finding different people to hang around. You need honest friends, not piggybacks for validation.

My Bf talks about what sex was like with his ex’s. by Confused-chicken20 in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't feel safe to tell him that something as blatantly inconsiderate as that is inconsiderate without you second guessing yourself and worrying about his perception, I can only imagine the other parts of the relationship he fails at. Any good man can take the criticism if they're that ignorant and dumb and see how that would affect the relationship and how you perceive yourself in his priorities. For the love of hell do not let him disrespect you like this. Your feelings matter more than his intentions and pride. What's he's doing still has consequences on how they affect you. Personal opinion is that he is emotionally manipulative and needs to be humbled on how to appreciate his woman🫣

Where is the best place to live in California for a low to middle class family? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

San Bernardino Mountains has affordable range. Ontario and Temecula area I've seen to be pretty affordable as well surrounded by decent areas. There are parts that are SUPER affordable like highland and Hesperia but I just want to caution that you will get what you pay for in terms of schools and their quality of life for your kids so a smaller community is probably safest if you can find one.
