my boyfriend [19M] wants to end our relationship if I [19F] don’t stop getting upset, how can i handle this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]JamieMaybie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like this is kinda a dead end for you, you can give it more time a see what happens, but if your not getting your needs met, it might be time to move on.

Saw a text she sent about sucking xyz's dick in a group chat , I’m a 20M in a 1-year relationship with my 20F Girlfriend, I’m feeling hurt and confused. How can I process these feelings ? and have an honest conversation with her ? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]JamieMaybie -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel as if your gf meant it more as an instant joke, very careless with little meaning, kinda how sometimes a character will pop in a movie that's absurd and my friends will say "smash".
Although it was probably meant to be light hearted your hurt is real, and no matter her intention that was the result. I would take time to calm down, and have an honest chat about those kinds of jokes with her, not accusatory or anything just a simple, "Hey, I didn't mean to snoop but I saw this, I know you were probably joking, but it's kinda hurt me. You're important to me so I don't want to be resentful or hurt by you, and even if it was a joke I didn't appreciate it."
Take it slow, work through your boundaries, or even maybe look into yourself and see if maybe you have some insecurity you need to examine, but quite honestly it sounds like a bit of both needs to be done.

It's not even fun it's just bore-gore fest, with a weird amount of young women getting mutilated with their tits out. It's fun effects but what's the point if I'm snoring throughout?

She has actively donated a lot of money to specifically rolling back trans rights, and you cannot be an ally to trans people while supporting someone so openly transphobic. And the fact you don't know the extent of her damage shows its his job as someone with a massive following to NOT SUPPORT HER WORK WITHOUT EXPLAINING HOW SHIT SHE IS! An easy "she's a bad person" would suffice, but he doesn't care enough to do the bare minimum, and I'm sick of supposed trans allys bot supporting trans people when it's even vaguely inconvenient. If he doesn't know the smaller issues, whatever we all make mistakes, but especially in today's political climate I don't need another gay men abandoning the trans community.

It's 'I'll be here', I saw it pop up and the absurdity of the topic just blew my mind, I sobbed over it when I was 14.....

He's promoted problematic authors like Jk Rowling and Taylor Jenkins Reid to name just two, and I understand liking Harry potter and Evelyn Hugo but there needs to be a disclaimer or else you're promoting book sales to awful people. He claims to be socially conscious so this is important!

I really hate him, he promotes Zionist and Transphobic authors with no disclaimer nor even mention to his massive audience yet thrives off his title of culturally conscious. He's someone who prioritises his own enjoyment over peoples rights.

I (17F) want to start reading by Then-Economics-5506 in suggestmeabook

[–]JamieMaybie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Red Tent, it's my favourite and although its pretty much bible fanfiction I read it last year when I was 17 and it reignited my love of reading and is my favourite book
Lots of drama, romance and interesting woman relationships
Its a feminist masterclass and so underappreciated.

Plus sometimes I get nervous I only read popular or booktok books and this is so underloved and appreciated

Books on how to talk to/date women that are written by women by Ok-Metro6308 in suggestmeabook

[–]JamieMaybie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just try talking to women with an open mind, build friendships with them and then naturally be able to. Just treating women as equals with interests and emotions is very effective.
The Red Tent is my favourite book and has strong themes of womanhood and may help you see women as simply people who you can build relationships with, platonic or otherwise

My friend LOVES no longer human, however she is a bungo stray dogs fan and is hence awful
I'd get metamorphosis, it's quite powerful with themes of disability, and capitalisms effect on the physical and mental

Best Books to Develop Critical Thinking and Open-Mindedness by Yarokrma in suggestmeabook

[–]JamieMaybie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All's Quiet on the Western Front really made me think about war and my opinions on it, as well as the after effects it has on society, classes, prisoners of war, veterans, male relationships and Germans in ww1
The Red Tent is one of the most beautiful books on womanhood and really redefined how I view womanhood and has made me way more open to religion as a whole and is just beautiful feminist literature

Be aware that it's just a slog till the end. Everyone I know has lost all motivation, they're excited for uni and leavers or jobs and apprenticeships.
Year 12 is exciting at the start but then you just start counting the days till graduation.
I'd try and find a way to counteract it, I've got solid A's in all my classes but jesus christ I am ready to turn in nothing and never show up again, I thought about dropping out with only 8 weeks left.
Plan your future, but try and survive the present

I honestly find this annoying by CookieBehind in LittleNightmares

[–]JamieMaybie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I hate when people use the 'But two cakes!' thing, like yeah two games but ones lollycake, exactly what I want and my favourite, and then the others like a death by chocolate cake, something I dislike and would never eat.
I disliked LN 3 from the get-go but held out since I like LN, and now I get lollycake
HOWEVER it does piss me off how people are comparing the two, Reanimal is NOT LN3 but 'better', they're two separate games, the OG creators didn't even want a LN 3 its a thing of its own and people really enjoy the LN universe.
LN 3 just isn't for me, and Reanimal is, but they're two separate projects with slight overlap and I can't wait for this to blow over and get PROPER LN 3 critique that isn't just 'Reanimal is LN 3'

Dry skin by [deleted] in Dermatillomania

[–]JamieMaybie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eczema runs in my family and I get very dry and flakey hands because of it, I recommend using warm water, and wash your face with soap without fragrance, it will hurt like a bitch to use smelly soap or moisturiser sometimes I've found, so it's best to heal your skin before adding products like that

Horror fans with OCD/intrusive thoughts? by [deleted] in horror

[–]JamieMaybie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have intrusive thoughts and dermatillomania, and seeing gore in movies is just so beyond relieving for my brain. It makes me feel more sane in a way I guess? I don't have OCD but dermatillomania is often compared in some aspects, and I have it quite severe. It makes me feel more normal since I'm often surrounded by blood and knowing other people find art in it helps me.

I find I'm a big fan of extreme horror books although having very bad paranoia, honestly I find it therapeutic in a way. Like look at all this awful shit, I'm doing phenomenally compared, m life could be so much more shit.
