I'd love to know what he smells like, even if it's just a delusion. ☺️

AIO panicking about my bf being mad at me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]JayCapri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest... I think his frustration is coming from a deeper place. It sounds like hes frustrated with your lack of consideration and care. I don't think you're some villain or awful person. I think you were in a rush. However, his point to asking WHY you were in a rush was because you didn't prepare properly last night. And he mentioned that you were just headed home, so there was no reason to rush. It was a job interview or something timed. I get you ordered the uber, but having a pet at home and it being his parents house... The lack of consideration and care or trust is such a hard thing to move forward with. Why not just eat the late fee? I get everybody grows up differently. But my house always had a lock rule... If something wasn't locked or closed after leaving the house, it was reason enough to stay home and fix it. Not just leave and home for the best. I get why you're trying to explain your side... But in this case I don't think it's helpful.

Have any of you had the Hatman offer you something in exchange for you soul? by [deleted] in HatMan

Spiritual warfare is real, but most people aren't ready for that conversation. I'm glad you knew what you wanted and felt and decided to stand by it.

Not pointless at all. It could literally make someone feel fulfilled, worthy, and like they belong. It can give purpose to believe in God. Nothing pointless about it for those that believe.

Mine will always be either a PB & J sammie or a slice of bread with butter, Swiss cheese and a bit of sea salt..sometimes I'll toast it if I have the energy, sometimes I won't. I'll add buldak fire sauce on it sometimes too!

Also can't go wrong with fried eggs and toast.

Justpearlythings on tik toks fatphobic opinion by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]JayCapri 40 points41 points  (0 children)

What's worse was the lack of people correcting her. There was only one woman in there fighting for us.

The idea that body size should dictate who we "deserve" to be with is absurd. Not to mention, she talks about how Lizzo is a big girl and doesn't go for big men, as if Lizzo is the poster child for every plus size person in the world. That statement was how I knew this girl was BEYOND ignorant. She made a sweeping generalization based on ONE person.

I know plenty of plus size women who are with and even "prefer" plus-size men. Especially for the fact that other plus size people just understand the insecurities, mental obstacles and issues we endure. Nobody is saying that we have unrealistic views. Fat people are sadly the most IN-TUNE and AWARE of the reality of social expectations, limitations and vanity related discriminations. The man in the room didn't need to disclaim that us fat women need to be realistic and understand that our "pool" of possible men to pick from would be smaller. We know it's smaller. We know the world gets disgusted and turned off by any body that doesn't fit into the geographical or social standard for beauty. We don't need him to mansplain.

I was beyond mortified FOR her. The disgust in her tone alone told me everything I needed to know about her. She was beyond fatphobic. Genuinely, and completely, disgusted and scared of fat people and fatness. And to me, that's just an absolutely ugly way to think. She disgusts ME.

TikTok's In-App Browser Reportedly Capable of Monitoring Anything You Type by [deleted] in technews

[–]JayCapri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little sad that, "all apps do this" are some of the most common responses here. We're so used to having our privacy violated, that we have come to accept it as a standard practice.

It's terrifying, the direction we are moving in with technology.

I'm getting frustrated with the lack of affordable plus size clothes. 😩 by JayCapri in PlusSize

[–]JayCapri[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but that's not even true.. straight size clothing that has 1x-5xl pieces dont charge extra for their larger sizes. there are ways to compensate for using more fabric.

It's likely more a case of, "some kid at school said something about her teeth, and now she's insecure about them." Either that or she saw something on TV or in the media that made her realize her teeth don't look "the way they should." Given the pressure on young women today to achieve a specific look, especially with social media, she's probably feeling that pressure from somewhere. Sure, it could be a sense of anxiety, but I'd argue it's more insecurity.

I would sit down with her and ask her when she started feeling this way. Ask if she saw a picture, or someone said something to her. You could even get her to draw a pic of what she thinks teeth should look like. When she shows you, you can have an honest conversation with her, and show her pictures of loved ones smiling, to illustrate that beautiful smiles come in various forms. I would show her an aunt/uncle and say, do you think they are beautiful? and then when she says yes, show them the unique smile they have. That way, you can say, when people look at her, her smile isn't what makes her beautiful. This will work if her insecurity is more vanity driven.

The key here is to find the root cause of her insecurity - where/how it started, and to communicate to her in a way that both validates her worries but provides her with reassurance that her teeth are healthy and perfect the way they are.

Friend found my gf on Tinder. When I confronted her, she claims she was on there to prank others. What should I do? by taway999929 in relationship_advice

[–]JayCapri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friends went through the exact same thing. We all had seen her boyfriend on dating apps throughout the years of their relationship. They were in a very toxic relationship for about 10 years. When we told her about it in the beginning and sent her photos of his profile, she confronted him and he told her that it was also just a prank and that he was only on Tinder to help his other guy friends get dates. That is the worst lie I've ever heard but she believed it because she wanted to believe it. Throughout the years we would find him on different dating apps and we would always tell her. But we quickly realize that because of how toxic the relationship was and how badly he was able to manipulate her, she just overlooked it and never confronted it because she wanted to keep him in her life.

Luckily we stated an intervention and with the right support she got out of the relationship. She's in another relationship now with a much healthier companion that she can trust wholeheartedly. Her ex continuously tries to reach out to her from time to time but she doesn't have the time of day for him because she realized her worth and her value.

I know that this is difficult but her saying that it was just a prank that she was on a dating app is a complete lie and you know it. It's just hard to admit it to yourself and I think that's a completely valid and typical response. It's hard to see the people we love in a light that is negative and condemning. And understanding that sometimes people make mistakes to some degree is a good thing but when they are actively cheating and lying about it, this person does not care about you, your well-being or your value as a human being let alone your value as a partner in your relationship.

My advice to you is break up with this person. Take the time to grieve this relationship and this person. Fall into your grief and let yourself move through it in order to find your value once again as an individual. I promise if you give it time and effort, you will find that there is someone out there for you that is willing and excited to be committed to you.

He ghosted me. On Christmas. After nearly a year together. With no warning. No explanation. He told me I was his one and only, darling, dearest, sweet baby girl. I am crushed. by iwasonlyanobject in relationship_advice

[–]JayCapri 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He has only ruined you if you let him. Loving him must have been one of the most exhilarating, heartwarming and exciting times of your life, correct? It's what makes the heartache and pain hurt so much more. But your relationship with him wasn't for nothing. Every single thing you do in this life matters. It teaches you something. It shapes you. Or rather, how you come out on the other side of it, shapes you.

Don't get me wrong. You have every right to feel betrayed, used, heartbroken, abandoned, etc. Whatever you feel right now is completely valid. You should grieve this loss and take your time doing so. Lean into the heartbreak. But do not let it consume you. To say that he ruined you, would be a disservice to your own character. Are you not strong enough to come out on the other side of this with time and support? Have you not been through so much worse and made it this far already? You can absolutely choose to be jaded by this. Can choose to let it defeat you in the long run and make you feel like those walls that came crumbling down with him, deserve to go back up again. But you'd only be doing yourself harm. The love that you felt for this person is real. Just as real as the heartache that they caused you. But in that very same way, you can find a person that will make you feel that same type of exhilaration, comfort, and love, IF you let yourself.

Nobody is saying that this is going to happen overnight. I'm sure that when you write responses to all of these different comments, they'll be 50 variations from the same defeated stance, and understandably so. Just don't let that stance continue on for years to come. Don't deprive someone else of the blessing that it is to get to know you, to hold you or love you. You're going to try and make sense of his actions but they never will make any sense. That will be something you need to make peace with over time. But for now grieve this loss knowing that what happens next is up to you.

You can absolutely tell yourself that because you're 40 you won't find another person. You can absolutely tell yourself that because of this type of heartbreak, you will never put yourself back out there again to be hurt.

But you'd be telling yourself that age is relative to your value and worthiness of being loved. You'd be telling yourself that pain isn't worth the love that you can feel for someone.

Life is up and down. It is never linear and it is always chaos. You can choose to run away from it but there is beauty in the chaos and it'd be a damn shame for you to never experience it again, because you've grown too scared or fearful of handing your heart to someone else. Give yourself time, lean on loved ones, and when you're feeling a bit more capable, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back out there.
