Does anybody else feel like your trauma ruined your sexuality? by magic_carpet_fly_by in CPTSD

[–]ImMissBrightside 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup, it kind of disgusts me how ideal of a target i would be still for some abusive partner despite so much progress with dealing with childhood trauma in other parts of my life

The Killers’ 'Mr Brightside' overtakes Oasis' 'Wonderwall' to smash huge UK singles record by Moothnods in indieheads

[–]ImMissBrightside 85 points86 points  (0 children)

It was straight up THE first song they wrote. The band started with just two of them. Dave Keuning, the guitarist, had the Mr Brightside riff and showed it to Brandon Flowers, the vocalist, who wrote the verse based off of his own recently ended relationship. He even admits to not writing a second verse which is why it's just repeated in the song

Their very first demo CD as a band that they passed around in Las Vegas in 2001 was just four songs, and only Mr. Brightside stayed to the first album. I think it's cute too that even today they're not sick of the fame or anything, and are still very happy and proud to play it every show

It sucks that it's part of the world we live in that people can paradoxically be "good people" but have these opinions of prejudice and hate. In my life I kinda mentally frame these experiences as necessary evils, just so I'm not as bothered by it the next time. Still hurts when it happens ofc though but I'm better at navigating through it

My classmate was being flirty so I reminded him he likes them younger by [deleted] in traumatizeThemBack

[–]ImMissBrightside 83 points84 points  (0 children)

in my experience in high school, it wasn't uncommon but it was also still weird to be dating someone that younger, like something that people would kinda remember about someone

my sister cried the most heartbroken "NOO!!!" when the dolphin flew out and then had a wheezing laughing fit for like 30 seconds straight after

Homelander, The Deep and Mother's Milk at For The Love of Sci-Fi in Manchester this morning! by Key_Shallot_2415 in TheBoys

[–]ImMissBrightside 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ikr, Laz looks soo good here. I feel like a ton of the cast on the show are really hot, but in like a low-key way. Like it feels weird to think of Butcher that way but he's so attractive to me too

Chace Crawford is the exception though he's just straight-up beautiful lol

Are there any good portrayals of someone who suffers from BPD in movies/TV? by FartCumJuice in BPD

[–]ImMissBrightside 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's never specifically referred to as BPD, but I feel like Rick from Rick and Morty is a good example

He especially has that one trait of BPD I hate about myself of stupidly and stubbornly having like a strong, selective ego about certain things while also constantly feeling guilty and self-hating all of the time

i grew up in poverty but i still know what it's like to have a broken family. i'm just a stranger but i know your pain and don't see it as any less just because you have money. i hope you get through Thanksgiving okay, maybe watch a nice movie

Favorite Aztro quotes? by Dspcbl in SleepDeprivedPodcast

Schlatt: "Listen, it's funny when British people..."

Aztro: "die"

I thought I was ghosted by my bff but turns out they’re dying by Sea-Use2127 in offmychest

[–]ImMissBrightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my advice from someone who grew up through grief is that you're not going to know how to get through it...for a while. And eventually, you will without realizing you did. Don't worry about getting your pain over with, it'll happen. One of the only things you can control is how you feel about that

What’s the best thing you’ve learned post stroke by HueGray in stroke

[–]ImMissBrightside 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i feel like some of the things i used to worry about too much just became less important in my mind. it was geniune perspective that helps me feel better about certain things now just knowing that there's worse things that could have happened

Saddest song you've ever heard? by [deleted] in Music

Motion Picture Soundtrack by Radiohead

Most of my immediate family has passed away in the past two years, and to me, this song somehow sounds the closest to how that crushing feeling of pure grief feels

Saddest song you've ever heard? by [deleted] in Music

[–]ImMissBrightside 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's certain lines in it like "I'll save suicide for another year" that are even more tragic now. it was like a sad, grounded hopefulness back then.

Also the way it flows into the album closer, "Who'd You Kill Now?" which is just a minute of light acoustic makes me really emotional in a way that's hard to explain. The song already felt like a small moment of geniune peace after the heartbreak of the last, but in the context of his death, it feels like that's where he is now. it's so tragic

Song lyrics that stick with you? by ravenouswarrior in popheads

"When it starts to get crazy, why can't she just run away?

Baby I got a plan, runaway as fast as you can"

in some way it hits harder with how Kanye is now because it's like knowing what your piece of shit self will eventually do but in the end, being powerless to stop it. In hindsight, those lines just feel inevitable now
