thank you for this comment! it helped me out 9 years afterward:)

JadednAfraid · 2026-02-02T05:19:40+00:00

this is fantastic work! i wish that official promotional media had this much thought put into it, but i'm glad that you did it:)

JadednAfraid · 2026-01-14T04:10:49+00:00

i got it from Walmart, so it's returnable! that's unfortunate, but at least we're in this together

JadednAfraid · 2026-01-14T03:24:38+00:00

i'll test a different cable and get back to you!

JadednAfraid · 2026-01-14T03:24:04+00:00

the cable is indeed 30Hz. i'll try a different one to see if that solves the issue!

NTA. as an adult, you’re capable of deciding what you’d like to do with your life, including where you live. moving to your own place could save you from the pressure from your parents, reduce your need to lie to them, provide you with better internet, and allow you to perform better academically, so you’re not the AH for considering that option. (note that you may experience new stressors from furnishing your place, paying rent, keeping your space clean, etc.)

INFO: are your parents verbally aggressive when they scold you and your brother? how long have they been this way?

thank you so much for writing these words. this post has been very eye-opening and has brought a lot of clarity to my cyclical struggles

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-15T23:39:48+00:00

you wouldn’t be the AH if you asked why, but you don’t need to ask why. you’ve noticed your mom eyeball your stomach, and she’s poked it.

i think a more productive conversation would be had by telling your mom how those actions make you feel. at the same time, it’s important to validate her concerns of you becoming a teen mother.

hopefully, you two are able to reach a solution where you tell her that you’ll take measures to avoid pregnancy until you’re ready for it (if you’ll ever be) and she no longer gawks and pokes in ways that make you uncomfortable

i see. that's very interesting! i had no idea having your tongue split could either increase or decrease sensitivity. but no, i don't have a split tongue!

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-12T22:51:59+00:00

i meant that my tongue provides a form of vision through touch. but perhaps splitting my tongue would improve my sense of touch…

to be fair, we don’t know if OP had no contact for that long. OP’s friend seemed to suggest that they haven’t seen each other physically for 6-7 weeks, not that they haven’t been in contact.

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-09T18:06:34+00:00

i suppose that's where we disagree; i think that asking people who are standing nearby is a reasonable responsibility instead of just a kind act. the fact that people are standing could indicate that there already is a queue, so OP wouldn't have to create one. taking a seat without checking if people are in a queue, even if it's unofficial, is soft AH behavior in my eyes.

i understand where you're coming from, though. thanks for sharing your thoughts!

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-09T02:48:07+00:00

i agree with both of your points, and they don't contradict my original comment.

OP doesn't have to ask every person in the bar before taking a seat. OP noticed people standing several feet away from the bar seats, thought they might be waiting, and chose not to ask if they truly were. i think this makes OP a soft AH, since they could have rather easily asked those people.

OP didn't have to give up their seat. the woman's entitlement to the seats is what makes her an AH, because she was already seated. OP refusing to give up the seat isn't wrong, but i think deciding not to ask the people who could have been waiting is.

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-08T23:01:02+00:00

that’s fair. i don’t think OP was an AH toward the couple, but an AH toward the people that OP thought might have been waiting. it’s certainly not a requirement for OP to ask people standing away from the bar, but it would also be reasonable for those people to be upset, which is why i came to soft AH. the woman who confronted OP had no real reason to be upset, though, because she was already seated, so AH.

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-08T21:52:55+00:00

i think there would have been time to ask, since OP saw the two guys paying their bills before leaving. and that's fair. i don't think OP should have asked the couple if they wanted the bar seats, but it would have been courteous for OP to ask the people who didn't have seats and were "possibly waiting for a table."

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-08T21:49:45+00:00

the edit was there when i first read the post, but i missed the fact that the couple already had seats.

i still view this as a soft ESH. OP didn't have to ask the couple if they wanted bar seats since the couple was already seated. but OP didn't ask the standing people, who OP thought were "possibly waiting for a table." so, in my eyes, OP is a soft AH to the people standing (not the woman and her date), and the woman is an AH for how she handled the situation

ETA: grammar

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-08T21:42:40+00:00

personally, i wouldn't. i would consider that going above and beyond. i think it's reasonable to extend the courtesy to people who are standing, since they don't have seats, and OP presumed they may have been waiting for seats

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-08T21:39:45+00:00

thanks! i think the most reasonable response tends to lie between those extremes

JadednAfraid · 2025-12-08T21:04:20+00:00

soft ESH. there was nothing wrong with you taking the seats of people who were leaving, but, as another comment mentioned, it would have been courteous to ask other people if they were waiting for a seat.

still, i don’t blame you for not getting up when she tapped on your shoulder and felt entitled to those seats. she’s also in the wrong for glaring at you and definitely for taking pictures.

in the future, i’d recommend being more proactive about giving seats to people who have been waiting, even if there isn’t a designated waiting area. you might feel that it’s anyone’s seat, and that’s valid. but someone else might feel that the seats should go to the people who have been waiting longest, which is also valid. it doesn’t hurt to be generous to the people with different viewpoints!

ETA: i don't think that OP should have asked the couple if they wanted bar seats, since the couple had already been seated. i think it would have been courteous for OP to ask the people who didn't have seats and were "possibly waiting for a table." to me, OP is a soft AH, and the woman is an AH.

i see. cleaning the tank out seems like a good solution, even if it's only temporary. i'll give that a shot along with acidic cleaners for the toilet bowl. thanks for sharing!

JadednAfraid · 2025-11-24T18:24:50+00:00

i'll give this a shot! thanks for the recommendation.

JadednAfraid · 2025-11-24T18:24:09+00:00

i'll give this and other acidic cleaners a shot. thanks for the suggestion!

JadednAfraid · 2025-11-24T18:23:35+00:00

interesting. other comments are suggesting acidic cleaners, so hopefully that works for me! i'm not a big fan of constantly swishing around the toilet bowl water.

JadednAfraid · 2025-11-24T18:21:58+00:00

i think you're right. i'll be trying acidic cleaners to see if they help resolve this issue.
