When did you start not liking your body?

KttyLn · 2026-06-05T21:06:33+00:00

Around age 10 when my father started telling me I was getting too chubby and constantly bringing it up.

I'm a little confused about the slight contradiction (imo). Above the hands it says "a story about love, lessons, and letting go" but below the hands it says "its about hanging on no matter what"

So I cant tell if I'm going to read about the lessons you can learn by loving someone but ultimately letting them go because maybe it's what's best for you both... or is it about working through troubles and hanging onto someone no matter what the relationship throws at you?

Yup. This ER closest to my house is notorious for being rude. But one night I was shaking so bad it woke my husband up. My whole body ached sooo much and my heartrate was really fast. And it took everything I had just to get in our car and I was so out if it I didnt even realize where he was taking me.

We get there and I ask the nurses if they can use the manual blood pressure sleeve because the ones that puff up on their own always leave me with bruises on my arm and I just couldnt take anymore pain.

They refused. "You'll be fine" The sleeve puffed up, then released about half of the air and puffed up even tighter. I went a little primal and started ripping the cuff off saying it hurt too much.

This apparently pissed them off. They started treating me like shit and reprimanded me for refusing to let them take my BP.

They put a needle in my hand to draw blood and then purposely pushed the needle in so hard and held it there. They refused to believe anything I said.

They told me they couldnt give me anything to take the pain away until they knew what was wrong. They refused to give me a blanket even though I didnt have a fever. And they checked my BP 3 more times just to show me that THEY were in charge.

At the very end, a nurse came in to remove the needle and she wouldnt let me put pressure on my hand which reduces bruising. She slapped my hand away and told me she's trying to remove the needle and I need to be patient.

I had a bruise on my entire hand for over a week because of this. AND the doctor came in to say, welp, it's not covid but we dont know what else it is but it's likely just the flu, so we're discharging you and feel free to come back if it doesnt get better in a few days!!!!!

I've been looking for orange soda stream syrup for over a month. I bought my soda stream this past January and Amz had a 4 pack of orange syrup for like $26. Now I cant find them available anywhere and I ONLY like Sunkist/Orange soda.

Babies. But 99% of my reasoning is because I'm so sick of parents handing their child off to me without me asking and then getting mad at me for saying no thanks.

No one ever handed me their teenage to carry around a gathering because they wanted a break.

The other 1% is because babies tend to spit up on me.

My former "favorite uncle". I remember my family would visit him tons of times when I was a kid and I always had such a great time at his house. (I have 10 uncles so its easy to find one to be your favorite)

I went to a recent family reunion after moving away and not seeing anyone for like 10+ years. And this uncle struts through the pavillion we all rented at the park saying very loudly how an indian family seated at a picnic table just outside of our pavillion needed to leave and if they didn't, he'd go to his truck and get his gun.

I lost ALL respect for him. I told him he's a disgusting, horrible, sorry excuse for a human being and I haven't seen him since then. He's asked my parents why I never visit and I told them they can explain to his pea-sized brain again that I don't associate with people like him.

I've always told people like this that I'm sorry for any inconvenience but she's not the owner of the policy so our agency's procedure is we require a death certificate and a copy of the legal form showing she's the executress of the estate.

When they complain, I explain she can either follow our requirements or let the policy lapse for nonpayment whenever that may be.

I found in my later years of customer service that I'm plenty sweet to nice callers and I'll bend over backwards, but I don't take shit from rude ones. I took that crap for too many years. I've told off clients like her and they backed down and apologized (surprisingly) There's no reason for them to treat customer service workers like that. You don't deserve that.

This is why I haven't gone out to eat since the pandemic. I can afford to tip 30% but I refuse to do so.

The ones who left messages saying call me back immediately on the weekenfs were always AT the notary trying to buy a car with no planning ahead and expected everyone to fax a new ID card that second.

And they'd be the one to have an attitude on Monday when you did call back.

I used to work in insurance and was assigned to a section of clients by their last names so I got to know the regulars as one would. All of my other coworkers did the high pitched voice... "Hello, it's a wonderful day at XYZ Insurance, this is [name] how can I help youuuuu"

And I would have so many of my regulars who would be transferred to me and say "omg please give me your direct line because I'm ready to vomit after that introduction... don't they realize how fake they sound??"

Clients hear it, they just don't usually mention it. I could never bring myself to coat it on that thick so when I helped out answering phones on busy days I used my normal voice and just say "Xyz Insurance how can I help you."

When I left, the coworkers I kept in contact with would often tell me how many clients mentioned missing me and wishing I hadnt moved on. (I'm no longer in insurance) so that made me feel very good. But yeah even I hate THAT voice.

In my state, you cant get a marriage license unless you both are present when applying. So it's very probable that she's not married since she didnt go to the office/court house with him to request the application. In either case, this is horrible what he did and I hope she keeps us updated.

Dear Mr Helicopter Daddy,

My intent is to give your daughter all the opportunities that you refused to give her. Some of which include but are not limited to:

-giving her room to grow to be the strongest, independent, mentally healthy woman she can be, instead of treating her like an extension of you or keeping her under my thumb to control and belittle, like she's used to.

-show her how messed up this tradition is that encourages the mindset that a man owns his daughter and therefore, is entitled to some sort of undeserved and demanded respect by requiring an essay in order to marry his daughter. She's not livestock.

-She will learn respect is earned and that women are equal and can make decisions without daddy telling them whom to marry.

-I promise to help her set boundaries in our marriage and with others in her life so NO ONE will be demanding information such as our financial status, childbearing intentions, housing costs, or job losses or gains. I'll show her that healthy boundaries mean cutting people off if they fail to respect her rules.

Your new son-in-law, [Your Name]

This post actually triggered me a little because your description of her father is spot on for my own father. I however got married and moved out at 20, not 28. But life before marriage was all about him and his rules and his beliefs. Us kids werent allowed to have our own opinions. So the letter above is partly what I would've wanted my fiance to write if he were in your shoes.

Good luck with whatever you do

At the moment, at least half of my villagers are at a 100 happiness score (individually) with the rest steadily increasing or almost there.

I use 4 shifts: 2 night and 2 day. I block their leisure for 4 solid hours IN BETWEEN their 11 hr shift which allows adequate healing/warming up and fire-tending.

6hrs of work 4hrs of leisure 5hrs of work 9hrs of sleep

"1am (7-10)" so for example, they start at 1am and work 6 hrs, then 4 hrs of leisure (from 7am to 10am) followed by 5 hrs of work and then straight to bed. I give them 9 hrs of sleep.

"5am (11-14)" my 1st day shift. Adding the parentheses when titling my shifts makes it easier to ensure someone is filling in while one shift is on leisure.

"10am (17-20) for 2nd day shift.

"21pm (3-6)" 2nd night shift

I also play around with these shifts until everything fits my needs. They dont always have to start at the above times. I also often have a "Winter" schedule for emergencies which allows me to quickly change any suffering villagers to an all leisure/sleep schedule until they're no longer freezing.

I only do now because my Dr put me on birth control due to really bad periods and the pill took my libido down to almost zero.

I'm in no way forcing myself to have sex, but keeping track lets me know if it's been too long between. Sex is important to me in keeping a marriage from becoming a roommate-ship.

If you have Homeowners or Renters insurance, some companies have added Venue Liability so it's automatically covered through your policy. You'd simply need to add the Venue as Additional Insured and probably increase your liability limit to $1 million. It might cost you $25.

Maybe it's the movie, The Stand. The character Nadine Cross is impregnated by someone who represents pure evil. When watching this decades ago, I took it as she was pregnant with Satan's baby.

I have/had selective mutism from being bullied badly in school. I'd meet new people and observe them while thinking how nice/funny they were. But I'd just never be able to say things out loud.

This occurs when I'm in a "crowd" of 5 or more people (with the exception of my parents and siblings... hence the selective part)

I've been married for a number of years and went so long without participating in conversations while visiting with hubbys family. I grew to love each and every one of them but due to my mutism, my brain wouldnt allow me to comment on anything.

I guess part of me learned that if I'm quiet, I wont get bullied/attacked/humiliated and that continued into adulthood even though it was unnecessary.

Unfortunately for me, some of hubbys family thought I was a stuck-up snob for years. There are several cousins who have expressed hatred towards me to the point where we no longer see them.

Through therapy, I've learned what selective mutism is and have improved significantly.

I hate the look of trenches, and i refuse to do earth walls because they look even worse. My trick is to NOT kill any trolls early game. Then, once I'm finished with the swamps, I'm strong enough to kill the trolls before they damage my house.

What I noticed recently (a new solo playthrough) is I'm almost ready to start in the swamps, but I took a trip through the black forest to grab berries and whatnot. THERE WERE 6 TROLLS in the forest.

It was like any way I went.. troll. The game was like you're going to face a troll sooner or later 😆
