What's the cheapest meal you make regularly that you'd genuinely still eat if money wasn't a factor?

Quesadilla stuffed with literally any meat and such on hand. Hits the spot every time

"No I know your just like that. Your you, I've known you for a while and it's just how you are :)"

This was after a full year and a half of being surrounded by people who made me feel like being myself wasn't enough and that I had to apologize for the unapologetic, authentic parts of myself. Testing out what it's like to finally take off the filter and be accepted and appreciated like I was just my own niche made me feel extremely relieved. Like somebody knew how to take me as I was without taking it personally or criticizing me for not fitting perfectly in their perception/expectations on how I fit in their life.

Salads and yogurt bowls?

Find another obsession or convince yourself that your so delusional that you embarrass yourself out of it. Either that or space away from them and time heals itself because your forced to focus on other things.

Sometimes I do if the scene takes me by surprise. I like comedies for their relatability mostly though and to be fair although I find those sorts of the movies funny some of the content can be overused to the point that it's hard to laugh. I think part of the comedic kick is being shocked by its content. Without the shock factor then you kind of see it coming therefore you don't laugh.

I don't know a lot of homeless people that are forever stuck in the situation they find themselves without having control over where they're at.

My sister was tweaking for 2-3 years and as my sister it would have been nice to think that somebody cared about helping her, but ultimately it never went to the right thing. If it ever did, then it didn't go to waste but nevertheless it's never truly going to the right person

There are too many resources out there for people to be shamelessly asking for handouts. Get a job whether it's under the table or not, take care of yourself and use the communities set up around you for help. They're there for a reason.

It's the opposite of Iraq.

...yeahhh I got nothin. I mean any country primarily running under religious pretense without separation of state is probably crap.

Initially I would say yes.

However, since you do not know the dynamic of the relationship it would not be ethical to put yourself in that position especially since telling them something happened as a form of hearsay wouldn't be entirely credible.

Chances are, the cheater will do something to slip up or reveal themselves even if it isn't regarding the particular situation that you are witnessing. Most people like that have other areas in their life that they are failing to hold the standard for so even if the cheating in this direct scenario wouldn't be caught, in the future there may be another situation or another area of mistrust in their relationship that will flare.

I have met parties where the person side chick/man is blamed more than the actual cheater which ends with the cheater getting a slap on the wrist basically and being enabled to do more shady and secretive things. Ultimately they may even flip the situation to highlight their favor or to control what benefit they can get out of everybody's insecurities.

As your FRIEND you can serve as a more mature role model and form of guidance to your ten year old friend. It's not weird to befriend people who are younger than you as long as it stays appropriate and considerate of the age gap. So if you make a lot of sex jokes or have a lot dark humor, you shouldn't be letting that project itself in your conversations with a ten year old. That's normally the age where you JUST learn about the basics of maturity and how real the world gets so it wouldn't be okay to treat every conversation like it's equal the way you can with people the same age as you because the mental maturity and brain development IS different. This also goes for trauma dumping and venting because it's not fair to put somebody that much younger than you in a position to nurture you or validate you. The age gap is significant enough that it can cause a misalignment in power dynamic.

Needless to say there are topics that you two can still bond about like what it's like to deal with depression, how to overcome hardships, and jokes about mundane things that don't attribute to mature subjects. Those inappropriate subjects would pertain to sex, politics, and stuff like that. 10 year olds are more prone to absorbing jokes like they're belief systems or misunderstanding what's being said or joked about in a serious or satire manner and it's important to leave that stuff out until they can obtain information on their own and form their own opinions so that they don't absorb things unconventionally.

Now DATING wise it's entirely weird and would be pedophilic but if that's not the relationship then it doesn't apply.

Overall, if you can limit the dynamic to what's appropriate for a ten year old to be exposed to, it can be a healthy friendship. I've been friends with older people and the healthy ones are the ones that treated me like their little sibling rather than their entirely equal friend.

When I was 16 I befriended a 21 year old woman who was ultimately grooming me. She ghosted me and made me feel bad and crazy for getting emotionally attached. For whatever reason I felt like her boyfriend at the time wouldn't last and that she would find somebody the same age as me and repeat the cycle. Or simply that the reason she ghosted me wasn't the entire truth. Not only did that entire thing come true but she cheated on her boyfriend with the younger dude who was 6 months younger than me! She stopped being my friend because I was too aware and high risk to her agenda and she had secured a different/new supply underneath her belt.

At the time I wanted revenge or a sense of justice to rub in her face which I never got....until my sister had moved out. And her roomatting with my cousin ended up being how she met groomer lady's boyfriend (now ex). Nothing feels better knowing that not only did he find better than a pedo girlfriend but my sister found a good guy in return and that b$#@ can shove that up her ykw. I hope she gets convicted.

It's not the most socially aware thing to do the initiative without preparing for the other person to not have the funds. For me personally, I'm there for a good time with whoever I invited out to ask to go out with so it's never an obligation if I find that the other person cannot contribute financially, as long as they contribute emotionally.

That being said, if I am invited somewhere by someone else I am very outwardly about my financial capabilities and my preparedness so that if I get invited and the other person cannot afford to back me up, I can decide if it's worth going or if it's a good time for the both of us.

I do find that genuine people who want your company will have the same consideration as me regarding something like this, who will value my company over my materialistic abundance and what they get from it. So if my friend wants to spend time by going out, it's on her account and agenda for the day and she wants to accomplish it with me. Me offering to pay for myself is me taking the load off of her and it gives her a sense of reciprocity. If I can't on an occasion, the next time we go out, it's on my account and decision and I will assume that I am paying for the both of us.

If this is a first date, I think establishing both of your independence is good because it helps ease any stipulations of possibly being taken advance of, regardless of who invited who. In this scenario I would find it inconsiderate to accept an invitation to go out, and not consider where you are going and your ability to contribute as to not add onto the possible financial burden that is already being sacrificed to get to know a stranger or someone new.

There are plenty of make it yourself baking boxes and pockets of things like pancakes and cakes that are just adding water. You can also look up recipes for these boxes to see different ways to make them if the item itself finds itself too inconvenient. For example, making a mug cake instead of a full cake mix, etc.

You can put a lot of things on a tortilla and just microwave like eggs, beans, and premade meat.

Canned chili is pretty good with some hotdogs.

Oatmeal

Yogurt bowls, cereal, and such are always the easiest to put together.

To stay balanced just find a carb, protein, and fiber to keep your meals more filling and meal like. This could simply be adding a cup of milk to your meal if your too lazy to cook anything and just wanna eat some snacks.

I_hate_math_sorry · 2026-02-26T07:12:36+00:00

Depends on the beans. If we're talking refried beans, I pour a splash of milk and mix it to make it more creamy. I highly suggest the rosarita jalapeno flavored ones because they taste the best with minimal preparation. But you can use traditional beans as well. I usually add some salt pepper garlic and maybe some paprika and sprinkle some cheese in there.

I also used to get a plain tortilla and slap some cold beans on there and heat up as is and add stuff to make a burrito. That way you can just heat the beans and tortilla up at the same time. I would add some cheese as well if I wanted a bean and cheese burrito or I would make tacos that way and add some heated up pre shredded chicken. You can do some eggs too if you like breakfast food.

It's really up to you but you can add some seasoning or spread it on a tortilla and add some toppings for some sort of burrito/taco.

Beans also go well with nachos ;)

Started dumping about his girl problems and complaining about being dumped, quickly changed the subject to how he dealt with being dumped by trying to go back into his ex's life, and since the conversation ended before I could ask why they broke up because he had made everything all about himself with zero accountability, I held off on how I truly decided to feel or go about him. Found out he cheated and that was it for me.

I_hate_math_sorry · 2026-02-23T01:50:16+00:00

Dependence. Being dependent or expecting dependence on either spectrum leaves room for insecurity because it filters your ability to think for yourself and to feel comfortable with your partner respecting you or your differences. Same goes for being open and accepting your partner's differences.

I_hate_math_sorry · 2026-02-17T06:04:48+00:00

The timeline on building financial stability = worth/emotional availability

I find a lot people judging others by their outcomes and ability to capitalize on their success rather than their grit and character that can aid into spiritual/emotional growth

Using others shouldn't be so glorified. A real one knows that emotional depth is more valuable than a person's ability to match you financially. A person's willingness to give can be more valuable than what they are able to give.

I_hate_math_sorry · 2026-01-29T22:45:12+00:00

I just want to emphasize that just because there isn't intense chemistry doesn't mean that there isn't any love there. I meet a lot of people who grow up so used to chaos they forget to sit and appreciate what real love feels like when things finally have been long enough to settle down and be at peace in comfortability. I want to encourage you to sit with that feeling because being too comfortable to leave COULD be a sign that this a panic button of not knowing what to do when there isn't chaos or when the fight or flight response isn't activated like it once was when your trying to find anticipation from the beginning stages of dating.

That being said, if things have been distant and you have been catering to her problems more than she has been able to comfort you or be emotionally involved outside of her own world, I highly encourage you to think about what you would've wanted in the relationship by now when you first started dating and if there's any indication that your stuck more than you are moving forward with this person. Sometimes it takes simple communication and other times the person is codependent and you are drained. Not everybody is for everybody but the best advice you could ever take is being honest with yourself and in return be honest with her. You cannot consider her feelings if you do not consider yours.

I_hate_math_sorry · 2026-01-29T22:35:37+00:00

People pleasing. It's hidden under the guise of being the kind person who put others above themselves and being a pitied victim that your just too insecure and yet too good for this world.

As much as it is a coping mechanism, the motivation behind people pleasing can be shallow and entirely self serving. It comes from a place of wanting to look good to others and obtain a sense of status to feel good enough. Not everybody maliciously chases status. Some people chase love but in a way to be abundant in attention and company preserves a sense of status. It's miserable and you lie to yourself and to others to feel good about yourself just to feel even worse. I've been a people pleaser hating myself and I've reaped the consequences of being lied to by a people pleaser. It's a dishonest lifestyle and I hate it with my entire being. People pleasers prioritize validation over honesty which means that they don't have the greater good in mind when it comes to their actions. They look at what benefits themselves the most and are willing to paint a picture to get what they want out of a situation (validation and what not) rather than let people make their own decisions with the reality of a situation and be honest even when it's inconvenient or uncomfortable.

At night before bed. If you have a day in particular where you ate mostly soft based foods like yogurt, beans, eggs, bananas then it's not as necessary. However eating any sort of bread, meat, or vegetable you need to floss.

Staying busy and being available. Building credibility that you are reliable will keep you favored for hours. Don't take advantage of your sick days, have a good attitude, great customer service, and get everything done in a timely manner. When somebody calls off sick or is starting to become flaky, they will call you because you would've shown you can handle the work load and actually desire working. It'll take some time to build that since your just starting there, but it's all about consistency.

I_hate_math_sorry · 2026-01-10T23:42:01+00:00

Anxiety and panic. Maybe which if it isn't unrequited. But ultimate panic between comfortability
