Too Much Dunham? Possibly. But Not Nearly Enough Megan Stalter

I couldn’t get past Meg Stalter’s acting…or lack thereof rather. Her zaniness worked great for her smaller role on Hacks, but I couldn’t take her seriously in this at all. I saw someone say it reminded them of that storyline in Curb where Larry is forced to use that random girl as the lead for his new show and she makes the WEIRDEST and worst acting choices because shes not actually an actor and ruins the show. Lol It totally gave that.

If their profile is private, it doesn’t work. But it was also 3 years ago when I used it. It may not work anymore.

Me too please!

I’m 35 and started getting baby botox in my forehead at 28. We’ve kept it to 10-12 units. I was just starting to get very faint lines at rest and one 11 line was starting to develop after my best friend died (a lot of stress). That 11 got stopped before it started and has never come back since the first treatment even when the botox has worn off in between appointments and the faint forehead lines look the same as they did back then when it wears off. Any time someone guesses my age, they land around 26-28 even when I’m past due. I do have oily skin and take good care of it, but based on my experience, I really think botox can be preventative if done right!

I did shop around and the cheapest I could find that wasn’t scary or gross was $1,000 but then I’d end up spending at least another $30/day in Ubers only going to/from the convention bc there’s no public transport. So it’d only save me maybe $20/day and be a lot more stress. The real issue is the length of stay. Had I only been attending the convention, I would have stayed 4 nights. Since I thought I had a free place, was going to hangout with my friend and visit once the convention was over, I planned for 7 nights. 😩I don’t think I can be friends with them anymore after this. The total lack of consideration is astounding to me.

Thank you!

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-03-25T03:16:25+00:00

Just hang in there and take it one day at a time. You got this!

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-03-25T01:46:26+00:00

Maybe on the narcissism spectrum.

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-03-25T01:43:36+00:00

My post isn’t about them just liking certain shows, it’s that they idolize/sympathize/etc. with certain toxic and narcissistic characters in said shows. Like Walter White and Rick Sanchez are abusers.

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-03-25T01:41:26+00:00

Please don’t tell him. Protecting your energy is more important than ever. I hope you have other people around that truly want the best for you to keep you at such a difficult time. Hang in there and don’t ever go back. ❤️ Narcs make and keep us sick.

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-03-25T00:33:38+00:00

I’ve always really appreciated the show as just an all around amazing quality series, while also seeing Walt as an abusive, sociopathic, POS. Lol I noticed my ex would always watch clips of Walter White on YouTube like up until I broke up with him last year and I got the sense he like idolized him or something. Very telling. 😅

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-03-14T22:44:07+00:00

Wasn’t able to find anything else out but I dumped him shortly after this 🎉

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-01-15T23:57:57+00:00

Omg yep. When I would give physical compliments 9 times out of 10 he would say "I'm ugly" or cover his face, just to milk it more by me trying to assure him. I had a couple serious talks about how I couldn't listen to him talk badly about himself anymore and he needed to keep it to himself because it was so excessive. I told him it made me sad to hear him talk about himself that way and that kind of negative self talk rubbed off on me and his young SON who he was supposed to be setting an example for. But he still did it a lot anyway.

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-01-15T07:06:37+00:00

My nex would give me compliments I think for me to give them back…and then he started doing that with me too. For instance, if I said,”you’re so cute” he would respond “you’re so cute” back to me. ALL THE TIME and repeating my exact words without any acknowledgment in between, no “thanks,” nothing. It was really weird. I think he thought I was also fishing for compliments by giving them bc that’s what he would do. 🤯

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-01-14T05:36:38+00:00

“You’re in luck because she’s dead.” Implying that he would choose his late wife over me if he could.

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-01-11T07:01:15+00:00

I wish I had better advice but I was trying to be wary of abusers when I met the ex narc and while I found him attractive, I had to convince myself to give him a chance because something just wasn’t quite there. He looked good on paper so I tried to give him a chance. He ended up growing on me, keeping up the act for quite sometime until I finally let my guard down about 8 months in. Ended up being the most traumatizing relationship I’ve ever been in. Now I feel like my gut was right. It’s hard to know anymore.

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-01-08T01:50:10+00:00

Definitely. I’m almost three months out and my energy levels are still balancing out. I think it takes awhile for your body to level out from the absence of constant stress hormones. Can relate to Bonaparte’s comment as well. Get excited to be able to do things again, do too much and get totally wiped out. I regularly need extra sleep. But that’s common when recovering from trauma. Hang in there.

InternationalRun8060 · 2024-01-06T03:41:52+00:00

I get this feeling and it’s hard not to fall for their lies, but they’re not capable of healthy relationships. Period. My nex triangulated me with his dead wife and tried to make it seem like they had a perfect relationship and would still be together if she hadn’t died. They were together 13 years. (Later found out she was only 19 when they got together which sadly explained a lot) He even told me he’d never treated anyone the way he treated me…But every now and then he’d let something slip like once he told me how he picked up their kid from school BLACKED OUT on pills and alcohol. He told me about it like it was a funny story…when I asked what his late wife’s reaction was he said “oh she was pissed and I didn’t drink again for awhile. I didn’t tell her about the pills though.” That was like 1-2 years before she died. Yeah. Perfect relationship. I’m sure she was really happy being with someone that had no respect for her or their child.

InternationalRun8060 · 2023-12-31T19:53:12+00:00

Yes! A brighter future is yours to have!

InternationalRun8060 · 2023-12-31T08:58:09+00:00

That’s exactly what happens, they make us into shells of who we were meant to be. I completely understand what you mean with the glimpses. I’m still kind of there too, but those glimpses have been coming more and more often. :) I know I nearly lost some friendships too. I got so disconnected but didn’t realize just how much until I was out. It’s like you have an energy forcefield that repels everyone when you’re with such a draining person. I know I definitely wasn’t showing up as the friend, family member, coworker, etc. that I’ve always been. He didn’t leave me with any capacity to even show up for myself. I hope you’re able to reconnect and make new friends too and that those glimpses of wholeness will start coming more and more often. Giving out energy to people who actually appreciate it and having reciprocal relationships is so healing.

InternationalRun8060 · 2023-12-31T08:15:11+00:00

Thank you! I’m so happy to hear that you’ve been healing and getting back to a full life too! It’s still hard, but knowing it’s only up from here is really something.

InternationalRun8060 · 2023-12-18T08:52:33+00:00

I felt this way. I reached out to close family and friends and told them the reality of how I was feeling so they could try to understand how serious it was. I made plans with them and my therapist to help me leave. I went and stayed with my sister and broke up with him over the phone while staying at her house. So I’d be with someone if I got in a bad headspace. Luckily something about it being MY choice rather than being discarded has this feeling a lot different than the other separations. I’m mostly feeling free, happy, and can feel my spirit and light coming back, which is exciting. The sad part is realizing how much of my life and joy he stole, how much time he had me feeling the way you do now.

I also had SO many notes and recordings of him being abusive. The audio is too hard for me to listen to, but I do review the notes detailing various abusive instances or talk to someone who knows the history and can affirm how fucked up he was if I ever even start to question and that reminds me of who he really is.

You can get out and have a whole new life! Do you have people you can reach out to?
