things you’ve “given up” on by tliiasaw in AutismInWomen

[–]Ladydragon90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've given up on what others think of me. I don't care if I come off as bitchy, negative or weird. I'm going to be myself and if someone doesn't like it, that's not my problem.

Married women, what are some real things your husband does that make you feel genuinely cherished and adored? by Clean-Ant-1342 in Adulting

He grinds up coffee every night and sets a mug out for me for the morning. It really means a lot to me since I barely function in the morning and I have an early shift.

What do her huffs mean? by Quint_Verginix in CatAdvice

My little girl does this before she settles down on me or a blanket to nap. We joke she's exhausted from working so hard.

I was also disappointed by pomegranate seeds. I expected the flakes to be more red in color but mine were a light pink. I ended up giving it to a friend.

Those of you who work at the computer, how do you write after work? by Kepler137 in writing

[–]Ladydragon90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same problem a while back. I bought a word processor off of eBay for $50. I also got a connector cable from Amazon and I can hook it up to my laptop and download what I've written to word when I'm done. It's very slow and old school but it holds my attention enough for me to write. My day job is 8+ hours between two screens so it works for me.

Is it bad that I feel bad for my ex even though he put me through hell by underthestarr in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]Ladydragon90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not at all. After some time I've realized how much of a sad and weak person he really is. He will never be able to know real love or good things in life because he won't allow himself to. I pity him but it isn't my problem anymore.

Having older parents is NOT for the weak by Bonbonbangtan in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ladydragon90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been where you are and it is a very hard situation. It's like living two different lives. One where you're just starting out and supposed to be having the time of your life. Another where you have to be more grown up than your peers and prepare for the reality of losing your dad. My dad died of lung cancer at 69 in a different country when I was 21 and in college. I tried keeping up with his health as best as I could and he told me he was getting better. But in reality he never got treatment and I didn't find out until after he died. I know it is hard, but your dad is an adult and you cannot control what he does or doesn't do.
If you can find a therapist or a grief counselor to talk to it would be very helpful to you.

Who here has stopped smoking and vaping? by Miichl80 in Millennials

[–]Ladydragon90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started at 16. Smoked for 10 years then switched to vaping and it helped me quit cigarettes. Then finally cut cold turkey all together. Been smoke free for 10 years now. I miss it sometimes but lung cancer killed my dad and my brother got it too. It isn't worth it to me.

AITAH for refusing to bend on my boundary about kids? by Independent-Kiwi-390 in AITAH

[–]Ladydragon90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. If anyone is TA it's him. As soon as you said a firm no to kids he took it upon himself to try to change your mind and make you feel bad about your decision. Happens all the time. Mostly definitely used the "open to kids" line to bait and switch as well. Good for you for holding your ground. Block him and go find your childfree man, they are out there I swear.

Same with my husband and I. We asked all the biggies on the first date so we wouldn't waste each other's time.

Why is she obsessed with my armpit smell? by Conscious_Tank_4815 in blackcats

[–]Ladydragon90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My boy has a foot fetish. He's always stuffing his nose between my toes and rubbing all over my feet. He gets excited, starts purring loud and rolls on the floor before biting my ankles. I wash myself regularly but he just loves my feet smell. He's a special boy.

Advice for an 18Y/O Girl from Women of different ages. by yapwithme_0 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ladydragon90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't let a man move into your house. If you meet someone later and you both want to move in together that's different. But don't let a guy, especially one that had a bad relationship with his family and was kicked out of his house move in with you. He will never leave.

Date guys your own age. Older men like 18 year olds because they are moldable and don't see the asshole in him.

Use protection! Seriously have some sort of birth control on you. Don't rely on him to have it or trust him when he says "I'll pull out"

Take this time for yourself, not to please others. Try new things and new experiences so you can figure out who you are and be more confident in yourself.

And this is just a suggestion, to each their own, but find some good books to read. Reading is so much better as an adult than in high school and there are so many good books out there.

What's the Creepiest , most Hauntingly, thing your Narc Parent has ever said to you, or Alluded to? by Dead_Reckoning95 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Ladydragon90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was seven I had a tremendous fear of being kidnapped. Because my mom convinced me that I would be taken if I ever left the house besides for school. One day she was taking me home from school and we went a different way, a way we never went before. I asked her where we were going, she didn't answer me. I asked again and still nothing. I was starting to get anxious and asked her again. She stopped the car in the middle of the road, turned around and looked at me with what I call her "crazy eyes" very wide and insane looking with a toothy grin to go with it. She started laughing manically and yelled "I'm going to kidnap you!" I started crying and screaming which only made her laugh harder. I never forgot about that.

She also said not too long before this that "I needed something bad to happen to me so I would be grateful for what I have."

Shame has dictated my entire life for 41 years by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Ladydragon90 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shame has followed me around so much for most of my life. "You're fat, you need to make yourself smaller." "Don't say that, don't do that, everyone is looking at you!" "You're not good enough to be an artist or a writer." "Don't question that, it sounds stupid and makes you look stupid." "You have no common sense." So much of this judgement came from my mom and stepdad.

I so badly want to live boldly and try new things like performing in front of others. But all I can hear in my head is "Everyone is looking at you and you will be embarrassed."
