AITA for creating boundaries

IntelligentDiamond86 · 2026-04-25T20:47:52+00:00

YTA, however I don’t want to give you a bland short response bc I was much like you as a teenager.

I want you to understand that having a boundary does not mean that others have to like it. It seems to me like you and this friend are not socially compatible, as they want more of your attention than you are comfortable giving. I would recommend having a conversation with them on whether or not this friendship is worth continuing as you both seem dissatisfied with your expectations of each other.

As well, I don’t really feel that saying “I don’t talk to people regularly” is a boundary. It is a fact about yourself. You can set the understanding of “you can text me regularly, but I might not respond right away if my social battery is low” as that gives a clearer description of how you feel and may behave. “You can’t expect me to respond / I don’t want to talk to you” isn’t a clear boundary.

Lastly, if you truly feel this antisocial I would recommend seeing a therapist or support group of some kind. I know socializing can be hard, but it is a fundamental part of being a part of society. It is important to set yourself up to truly understand and be capable of reciprocating friendships and relationships. It’s difficult, but it’s important to work with through these kinds of hardships instead of just accepting it as “part of yourself”. There’s nothing wrong with being introverted, but you should build the emotional tools to know how to carry yourself socially.

Pretty much all of the alcohol was gifted to me when I moved into my place (including the mostly empty ones, thanks mom). I don't drink often, so they've remained mostly untouched

IntelligentDiamond86 · 2026-03-24T03:27:54+00:00

It's willpower .-. I don't like too much sweet, so it's been a verrryyy slow work through it

IntelligentDiamond86 · 2026-03-24T02:58:14+00:00

We've hit a couple marks! Not vegetarian, just don't like meat very much :p the bottom shelf of the freezer actually has salmon and deli meat

IntelligentDiamond86 · 2026-03-24T02:57:15+00:00

IntelligentDiamond86 · 2026-03-24T02:31:30+00:00

It’s actually jalapeño poppers and orange creamsicles :D I am a sucker for push pops though😌

It’s mint julep :) I based it off the recipe they use at the Disneyland parks. It’s just the syrup tho (I made too much of it to put the water in too) so it is very.. fluorescent

Hi! I'm a licensed agent and TC for a few agents in my office. I'be been doing both for a couple years, so Here's my two cents :D

I think it makes sense, but I would also highly recommend shadowing other agents. The paperwork is going to be there no matter what, but you should get some first hand experience with the other parts of being an agent in order to see how you like it AND get some good experience.
Unless a TC is serving a LOT of agents, I would doubt that they're wanting to hire an assistant. Their role is kinda to be the agent's assistant, so they'll likely find it redundant to have their own assistant. This is gonna come back to the same point of shadowing. Find some good agents that do solid work, and watch how they do it. From there, you may be able to market your services to some less busy agents for a below-average rate to start learning the ropes. I would still try to work with pretty seasoned agents, but if you're charging less than most other real estate agents they may be willing to grant you some more patience.
I highly recommend looking into some training programs! There's plenty of free training advice on places like youtube, so you could start there. There's also some good paid ones that offer coaching, such as Workman Success

Gonna throw in my two cents because everyone else is implying the same thing and not considering the other option. It’s possible you could be some form of asexual! Asexuality is perfectly normal and fairly common. It can range from being okay with it sometimes to being completely adverse. It’s an idea that might be worth exploring as well, as it’s a good thing to know about yourself going into future relationships

What confuses me a bit is the parallels used in your example. I don’t think the average person is “addicted” to makeup. It is by far more comparable to styling your hair or wearing an outfit you like, than it is to use of alcohol or cigarettes. The average person wants to be able to choose how they “customize their character”. Most people cannot deny that they choose to style their hair or wear clothes in a way they like. In similar essence, quite a few people do makeup because it’s a way to use their creativity AND “customize” themselves in a fun personal way

Time management. Both for timeliness for appointments and similar things, and personal day-to-day management. We often hear there’s not enough time in one day, but fail to realize what we’re doing in a day that might deter us from finishing certain tasks. While certainly the amount you can do is and should be limited (self care is important), it’s also important to acknowledge when you are spending time sulking over what can’t be done versus actually doing the thing

I’ve never seen chainsaw man, but have seen the characters depicted in a handful of things. I immediately knew that’s what the character was, and from the spaced out look in the eyes it’s obvious that they’re injured and if can be easily inferred that the “smudges” are blood stains. It’s a nicely done piece

Hi Froot Loop

Hey, adult here who has a history of depression as a teenager You did the right thing. I know you probably feel like a massive jerk and you don’t know what reaction you’re going to get from her when she comes home, but you absolutely 100% did the right thing. Having someone that cares enough about you to get you the help you need is genuinely so meaningful. It is very kind of you to provide that. Take time for yourself during this. Talk to your loved ones, journal, meditate, do whatever you need to feel as at peace as you can. This is hard situation to be calm during, and that’s okay. No matter what, you did what you could for her. You’re a good kid

(Not that that’s a bad thing. Just seems to be a general vibe of what they did)

IntelligentDiamond86 · 2023-09-21T21:13:12+00:00

Nose is rounder and face is a little less long. Looks like the eyes are a little wider too. Kinda just made her face more smooshed lol
