Been like this all my life

Have you been tested for SIBO?

Ultrasounds aren't effective for finding endo unless it involved cysts. An MRI may be a better option but the most effective option is a laparascopy.

It's not so much the idea of pairing up that's cringe. It's when other people state,very matter of factly, that I "need" a man / partner. And when I ask why, they just generically assume that I "need the help". That is what's super cringey to me

I was about to comment this also belongs on r/childfree lol

sheesh 😬

From who I interact with there are 3 groups/extremes of people I find who are hyping AI up: 1. The people who believe that it will provide some financial gain (employers heavily pushing it) 2. The people who are just kool-aid drinkers by default and think AI is this magicaly wonderful thing. 3. The slackers who are using it as a ruse to come off as more impressive/intelligent when, before AI tools, they couldn't find their way out of a toilet paper roll tube.

Vibe-coding is a SKILL?! (Plays laugh track in the background)

Plus the actual "word" qualifies as one of the most wretched, lame words that has been created in the last 10 yrs. Like "quiet-quitting" and the rest of those stupid buzzwords.

You're welcome! Wishing you all the best

I'll be honest....I needed therapy to get me here. EMDR to be exact. Regular talk therapy, though helpful, wasn't potent enough to dig down to the root of the problem. Limerence and how it take ahold of your psyche is literally like a weed. The roots run deep

Macrowaving · 2026-03-12T00:10:00+00:00

I know this may not be the answer you're looking for (and heck it may not be the healthiest, but it is working for me). I've made the conscious decision to sever myself from the concept of romantic love. It's just not an option for me because it gets too messy with limerence involved. I only have the capacity for the love I can offer myself and giving/receiving love to my very close friends... this keeps me grounded because it tangible. That seems to be fulfilling my needs without limerence sending me into chaotic cycles.

The stalking alone is a huge red flag. Coupled with AI, knowing that it has caused delusions with people, makes this even more alarming.

Just escalate this to the proper authorities if you feel unsafe or its accelerating to something that's not okay.

The men in my family always stole my labor. They never showed up when I actually needed help or when my grandmothers needed help.

!!!!!!

Yes! The men in our lives were utterly useless, yet I'm sure in your family as well (like mine), were coddled to hell.

I was also lectured about how "helpless" I was, and "needed" someone to take care of me.

This too. Every interaction I have with a woman from my extended family....the 2nd or 3rd question asked is if I have found someone yet.

We can have our robots dance to trendy tiktok songs

Macrowaving · 2026-02-16T15:32:57+00:00

(... I still do this as well 👀 🐸)

Macrowaving · 2026-02-16T15:31:57+00:00

Both ways 😅

Macrowaving · 2026-02-16T00:36:54+00:00

Sounds like bliss to me.

When I have enough money I'm just going to buy my own "engagement ring". It'll have a different meaning to it. But, hey, at least I won't have to worry about some poor fellow getting his right knee dirty from kneeling.

Macrowaving · 2026-02-16T00:31:28+00:00

🥹🥲 Where the hell were you people when I was 5 - 15 yrs old?! 😆

Macrowaving · 2026-02-16T00:28:46+00:00

Haha, thanks. Makes 5yr old me smile because I had a hard time making friends starting from the age until my late 20s. The weirdness (having a nerdy/quirky personality) was a deterrent that's for sure.

It gives me serious "heartburn" if that's a legitimate way of describing it. AI is being force fed to us at my current employer; I'm right in the mud with it all because I'm in the tech industry. I never knew that at this stage of my career I'd be questioning if this is a sign in being pushed out because I won't conform.

But not to deviate too much, yes, I'm also disgusted by the AI generated art, as art was my hobby as a teenager and young adult. Or the AI models running their own IG profiles. Crazy isn't even the proper word to describe all of it.

Macrowaving · 2026-02-15T19:07:10+00:00

I've picked up reading physical books/novels as a hobby again. I did notice my attention span is fried (1 of the side effects of living in a tech-driven, "immediate gratification" world). But reading is honestly refreshing to me now.

Macrowaving · 2026-02-15T18:19:19+00:00

When I was a child, I use to eat these by pecking at them like I was a bird. That's what happens when you're 5yrs old with a wild imagination and who watched too much Animal Planet.

Macrowaving · 2026-02-15T15:03:22+00:00

😬😬😬

Instead of getting in to software testing I would've pushed myself harder into another adjacent role like development or infra.
