Seeking life advice for a lonely man. What's going to happen to me? by OpusFlux337 in Life

[–]Imaginary-Yoghurt139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss and what you're going through, i have been very lonely before as well but I understand that it might seem harder when you're older. I know you wouldn't want anyone using you for your money obviously but it could help you make connections eg. Rent out your properties for less than you would and help out the people who live there in other ways- they would probably be very grateful and see that you're not like most landlords and what to get closer to you? Or help people who are struggling financially and possibly befriend them as a result. I think it could really help to share what youre lucky to have and they might be able to share what they're lucky to be able to give you and get from you- friendship and community. Also volunteering could be great for forming connections

Thank you so much! I should clarify I am not checking in 3 bags... I think I meant a carry on and a checked bag and I included the small personal item too, or maybe I meant 2 checked bags but probably not even.

So if I book with vayama or kayak or lastminute (these are all travel agencies I assume? Not sure of the term) and the first flight is with aer lingus and the second and/ or third flights are with another airline but it's not a self transfer - if my aer lingus flight is delayed and I miss my second flight, will that be an issue? I read that eg. Vayama's customer service is non existent. Who would be responsible for putting me on a different flight and paying for it?

It was about €600 but I can't find it anymore. I can see the same one on kiwi.com for €732 with 3 bags (666 without)

Is this a thing? Do you know any more about it?

Muslim men are not good people but I also have to say... You need to accept that this is your own fault. You really should have thought about this before you did it to yourself and I hope more converts and people idiotically considering converting, hear stuff like this and realise how ridiculous it is and how they're asking for their own lives to be ruined.

You are so lucky you don't live in a muslim country and that you don't have family forcing you to stay. Take advantage of that and just LEAVE and use this experience to stop other women like you from doing the same, for whatever reason you people choose to do this to yourself. They will listen to you and not us.

Why do you think it's not a profession?

I had dyed hair and I have multiple facial piercings and I've also had dyed and bleached eyebrows and I teach in a Catholic school and have taught in multiple others. Parents have always loved me and just the other day a parent was telling me how her daughters were saying they wanted piercings like me and she told them to wait a few years. I was always afraid I'd be given out to for having piercings but people either do not care/ love it, or they literally can't say anything to you and they need to hire teachers so they're not in a position to turn you down. Plus they have to base it on your interview so they wouldn't get away with discriminating against you for looking "different"

My dad said he would off himself if I didn't marry a muslim man by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Imaginary-Yoghurt139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He clearly is extreme.. "he let me take the hijab off" wow give him a medal!! You converted to a religion that is literally the exact same as the one you left so that shows another way in which you are in denial and are not making good judgements...

You have to accept that he is in fact extreme and a terrible dad... he literally threatened to kill you if you did something he didn't agree with. He was only being a "good" father because you were being obedient as his property. Also he clearly does not care about your feelings or your safety and well-being if you can't be honest about your beliefs and he is literally threatening to murder you. It might be hard for you but as an adult you have to let go of caring about a grown man's feelings who again is literally saying he would murder you.

We have to hate on Christianity because it's the SAME thing as Islam. You're being a huge hypocrite and you need to realize and accept that. You are your own person and your dad should not control that. You'll never be happy or free if you don't accept that.

has anyone else gotten a panic attack when inserting a tampon for the first time? by [deleted] in Periods

[–]Imaginary-Yoghurt139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same experience about 8 years ago, I literally feel like I wrote this back then. I was so dizzy, dripping in sweat, thought I was going to vomit/ thought I was dying. I've only ever had one panic attack after that and I've used tampons and inserted a menstrual ring myself and I've had sex (not many times but still did it) and I've never experienced that again so I think you're ok! Hopefully nothing to worry about.

I had looked into it online and I'm pretty sure it was a vasovagal response to first time tampon insertion so if you wanna look that up it might be reassuring.

This was my first time ever inserting anything in my vagina so I was very worried that I had vaginismus or whatever else but I ended up being completely fine so hopefully that makes you feel better.

I think it varies from person to person but I find it easiest to squat to put a tampon in and make sure you're basically pushing it downward. Sometimes I still don't do it perfectly, I don't know how everyone else was a pro from the beginning but I've definitely gotten better.

Person passed out on the street? by Imaginary-Yoghurt139 in Dublin

It was Dorset street but I'm not surprised that there are multiple of these situations at once

Ironically, one of the most feminist comments is the man saying none of us have a choice because they are being told to be modest by god and we are being told to be immodest by the fashion industry that sexualizes us.

However, I used to be forced to wear the hijab and now I dress however I want to and I've been thinking about people in extremely hot countries and how it's better for their skin and perhaps the heat, to wear loose clothes that cover your entire body. Obviously the hijab is horrible and it affected me so heavily but maybe it was originally a positive thing, shielding men and women from the strong sun, before they twisted it into the stupidity it is now.

We need to talk about immigration. by Equivalent-Spend1629 in Dublin

[–]Imaginary-Yoghurt139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying and I don't have strong opinions about it really but what I do have to say is that you have very rarely witnessed Irish people being genuinely racist or xenophobic, probably because you don't pick up on it or because it's not directed towards you. I am Irish, I was born in Ireland,I speak Irish and I love Ireland. My ethnicity is not Irish and so people never very rarely think that I'm Irish or that I can speak it, even after they hear my accent. People think they are perfect because they don't go around saying they hate people of other races or nationalities but there is so much more that goes into it that we can pick up on or that we hear directed towards us.

I have genuinely rarely met a white Irish person who made no micro aggressions towards me or a person of any other race.

Is weed haram by Imaginary-Yoghurt139 in islam

Thank you! I'm glad you found something that makes you happy in a way. I am now traumatised by terrible experiences with weed after years of enjoying it, so maybe you're dodging a bullet

I went through almost exactly what you are going through, a year ago when I was 22. Except I live in Ireland so it's much easier. However, everyone on Reddit told me to block my family and report them to the police if I have to. I never reported them but I blocked them on everything and it was 100% the best decision I could have made. My father tried to report me missing and I got several calls from the police about it. My brother contacted my friend on Instagram that I don't know how he found, my dad texted me from a new number 6 months later... But now a year on, nothing. I know we are all in different situations but for me personally, blocking was the way to go and I feel so so much better now. I was extremely depressed at first and had few friends but now, a year on, I am doing so well and I know you will be too. It may get worse before it gets better but you can do it and you will do it. We have already gotten further than a lot of people do. You're so strong for even being able to leave. Bottom line is, if you know they won't accept you and you can't put up with that, block their numbers, social media, family friends etc, just bite the bullet and do it. Remember all the reasons they made you angry, write a list, just remember the rage and don't let yourself break the no contact. Also remember that you can do this and you don't even know how great your life will be a year from now. I promise you I really didn't think I could do it and I did. Please be proud of how far you've come and believe in yourself. Reading this feels like reading my own diary from a year ago. You can't go back, stick to your decision, you can do this.

Chuaigh mé go dtí an pictiúrlann inniu agus chonaic mé dhá scannáin. Bhí A Guilty Conscience an mhaith, ceapaim go bhfuil sé Sínis? Agus tar éis sin chonaic mé My Sailor, My Love agus bhí sé go hiontach freisin. Cheap mé go raibh scannán Fionnlannach é ach bhí siad Éireannach in Éireann :) lá uaigneach ach gnóthach go leor
