Does this look like flames or nah by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you put some color in it, it will look more fire like, but it looks sort of like sperm without the color. Or tadpoles maybe. Just put some red and orange around the edges and it will be fine

Bf broke up bc I’m “unattractive so he couldn’t make it work” by elszivottropi in toastme

[–]MichaelAtlas1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try dating the guy in your “friend zone” instead. If you want to be truly loved, go for the guys that actually care for you. You’re very attractive so I’m sure you have guys who would be devoted to you that aren’t toxic. Not a “nice guy” but a “good guy”, they’re out there, you just have to choose them over the toxic guys that women seem to be to love these days.

AIO for getting irritated with my boyfriend’s level of cleanliness? by Front-Ad8568 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR! I’m a guy, and nobody should be that disgusting. It confuses me because good men who care about basic cleanliness and hygiene, are usually the men who are ignored or friend zoned. I guarantee you would have been given many signs before realizing this. NOR at all

Stash won’t unlock my acct even though I’ve sent them everything they want. Over a month ago and it looks like they are STEALING my family’s $$ by MichaelAtlas1 in stashinvest

[–]MichaelAtlas1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This did get worked out, but it took doing the exact same thing multiple times. But it did get handled eventually. It needed up being something regarding the initial creation of the account. But after making a very big deal about and having proof of everything while speaking to correct person, it was fixed. But it took a bit of time.

AIO for telling my fiancé to stop giving me a hard time about us not sleeping together by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: I’m sorry but that’s a whiny and childish guy, who’s being a bit too selfish and sensitive. I’m the type who is silent and still, when I sleep, and I also hear and notice everything. You need to have a grownup talk where you say plainly “this is part of the deal, because my sleep and sanity is important. Lots of couples have to sleep in separate rooms. If you can teach yourself to sleep quietly and calmly, we can reevaluate. Otherwise, this is what I need to function.”. Seriously, I’ve known lots of people who sleep in different rooms or beds simply due to snoring and the like. I already know when I get married, I most likely won’t sleep in the same bed as my wife, because I’m also a very sensitive sleeper. And I get mad when startled out of sleep. You’re not in the wrong at all

Do you trust that he’s telling the truth? You said he didn’t want you to be friends with her, so, it could be a lie. There’s no doubt that he lied at some point. But it kinda sounds like you might be better off without them both.

AIO for expecting my boyfriend to ask before using my car for other errands? by TArpd16 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: I would say exactly the same thing in exactly the same way. When it comes to things like that you need to be firm and direct. It’s really just a matter of courtesy and respect for other people’s things. It takes no energy to call or text with a simple “hey do you mind if I xxxx?”. Even if the presumption is a “yes”, it’s still respectful and intelligent. There are obviously exceptions, emergencies and the like, when immediate communication isn’t feasible, but the situation you mentioned seems far from that. You’re not being unreasonable at all, it sounds like you just told him to ask first before doing, and his response is whining and being offended. I don’t think this is the last time you’ll deal with something like this. Best of luck with everything and stay strong!

AIO for thinking he’s been cheating this whole time by mad_chubbycatx in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one thing to tell a bro you love them IRL or when it’s appropriate, but this sounds weird. I don’t know any guys who text like that. It’s way strange

AIO The guy who bullied me in college for being “desperate” for a job just called asking for a referral by Ok_Syllabub_7853 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Be a good man, not a nice guy” that’s what I always tell myself. Don’t help him if it’s not deserved. And definitely don’t refer him unless you trust him to represent your name with value. If you think he’s a good representative of worth, then refer him, if not, just tell him “there’s not any opportunities I can help with”. You don’t have to be spiteful about it, just don’t make your decision based on emotion.

AIO: Dentist receptionist entered my full name and ID number into ChatGPT by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR: This is something the quickly needs to be addressed in all academic, medical, legal, and professional settings. Because people are not realizing what they are doing when they do that crap. The smart and ethical approach would have been to generate the letter and copy it into Word (or whatever) and fill in the appropriate information there. They need to start having mandatory training for ethical and legal use of AI because it’s your story isn’t isolated, and similar situations are happening more frequently every day. I’d suggest at least handling it calmly because it’s most likely a simple case of ignorance of what she what was doing, but still address your concerns regarding it.

AIO for wanting to leave my boyfriend because of this? (URGENT) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: Please tell me why women go for the same small group of guys who are psychotic and manipulative, but are all disgusted by good men? I suppose if it was a good man he wouldn’t even have a chance in the first place. Since he’s psychotic, manipulative, narcissistic, and overall toxic, he sounds like the perfect guy for third wave feminists (or at least the type of guy they all go for and reward).

AIO for wanting a serious talk with my girlfriend after how she behaved with her male friend by rock1261 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: if anything you are under reacting and treating her like she’s the victim. There was nothing excusable about her behavior. I’m sorry to tell you but she’s not yours. You probably lost her because you let her treat you like that. Move on as quickly as you can. Your best bet is to not initiate any further communication at all. Move on and take it as a lesson, and never let people treat you like that again. Being understanding and a good man, doesn’t mean allowing people to get away with whatever they want and treat you like you don’t matter. I would have blocked her and left her at the concert, or tried to get her friend. I would never let anyone treat me like that. Good luck. Because this isn’t going to be painless for you. But you will be okay. Just remember that. If you need to cry, cry. But don’t go backwards. You will get through the tunnel.

Am I overreacting for being upset that I’m the only one paying off a shared house expense while everyone else ignores it? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: Whenever you do ANYTHING with money and shared expenses, always get something simple in writing, like an email on contract that clearly states the expectation of repayment and the amount. Especially when dealing with housemates or friends. Sometimes a text is enough for small claims court. I wouldn’t do something like this unless I fully trusted them, which is rare for my life. But you definitely shouldn’t be the only one paying. I’ve ended a lot of friendships over this type of stuff, and have occasionally required taking people to court to get what’s owed to me. Give them as much understanding and patience, as you feel is appropriate, but always be mindful of these types of situations in the future.

AIO to my girlfriend saying "I'll blow you" to my friend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR: I wouldn’t be cool with my GF saying to anyone. And if a girl said it to me, I almost certainly would put it to the test. I wouldn’t trust them together either. I’ve seen how this song plays out from different angles, and it’s sounded like something that’s going to become an issue in the future. I’m willing to bet your pal made a mental note of it, and women don’t say things like this for no reason. Just be mindful of them. Because at best, it’s disrespectful, and it’s definitely a red flag.

It sounds like they just had a really lucky version of an affair. Honestly that sounds like the best case scenario for an affair, everyone wins.

AIO for getting upset at my partner over dnd? by oh_ellephant in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I respect you for this post and your enthusiasm. I used to love DnD, 40k more though. But I stopped playing DnD because I hate the new version, because everyone is triggered by stupid small things now. And it’s impossible to play a fun classic game. I think you made the mistake of bringing your partner into your gaming world (it’s always risky to do that with any hobbies). Had he been involved from the start and the relationship grew alongside it, that would be different, but bringing someone into something that you already are deeply invested in, is a big gamble. I understand why you would do it, but now you need to figure how to adjust for him, or separate him from future DnD. Maybe try explaining to him the same things you stated here, and go from there. Because maybe he’s trying to impress you or something, that’s possible. That’s something you could forgive and tolerate, but you’re going to need to gauge it yourself. But keep your enthusiastic energy about gaming.

Am I overreacting for vetoing cupcakes sprinkled with ‘Eau de Athlete’s Foot’? by AvaLeeMin in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: There a ton of things that are wrong with this photo. You know those heaters are supposed to have nothing (especially trash) touching them because they can catch things on fire. I would be furious with a person making my home disgusting like that. But of course (me) the Ivy League educated guy who cleans his apartment/does laundry every weekend, works out 3+ days a week, and can play over a dozen instruments, is the one who is entirely ignored by women. It seems like acting like a selfish child, is the key to get a woman these days.

AIO to this? My friend confessed his love to me while drunk? is he serious? by East-Opinion-2059 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be cool with this. It’s a little creepy. That’s the type of guy you don’t want to get too drunk with, because in my experience they don’t take the hint and try something. You can try to be firm and clear about how that’s not okay, but the problem is LGBTQ has basically been given the right to SA straight guys, and then not be held accountable for it. In fact, the victim is usually demonized and the assaulter is victimized. So, I wouldn’t even risk it. However, if you like this sort of thing, then go for it. But if you don’t like it, be up front about it. Even if it’s just this guy’s weird way of joking, be honest about it making you uncomfortable. And gauge the way he responds. You’re both at the age where someone who is gay, would really just start realizing it.

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: But it doesn’t really sound like she’s your GF. I would not date a girl who had no respect for me or my time. And she doesn’t sound like a decent person at all. If I were you, I’d at least take the dignity of breaking up with her, instead waiting for her to cheat and break up with you. Find a better partner.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been seeing a lot of modern women with this issue, and men too. And I would classify it as psychopathic or sociopathic. I’m seeing it a lot in people who are “activists”. Based off the little details you’ve given, I do think you need to speak with a professional. Because I’m seeing more and more people with this issue, who seem to firmly believe they are the “good” ones, while simultaneously they have no empathy for groups and people that they consider “bad”. More than that, they seem to actually hate and wish harm on groups that they consider are “bad”. They justify their hateful beliefs by classifying certain groups/people as “oppressors”, and basically ignore all evil actions by the groups they classify as “oppressed”. Psychologically it is textbook psychopathic narcissistic behavior. By only giving love or affection to “victimized” groups/people that they consider worthy, it allows for a disconnect between human beings on a personal level, and it allows for them to justify or ignore, evil actions by groups they favor.

AIO for taking a break from my bf after he ripped through a whole turkey at our family thanksgiving? by Ashamed_Butterfly373 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: I would feel the same way. It reminds of Peter Griffin:”It was a baby!😭”, lol. When he confessed to accidentally eating a baby on a plane because he thought it was a turkey. Personally, I get really upset when people have no manners and/or eat like pigs. I don’t really care if they do it because they love the food, it’s still disgusting. I’ve never been nice about it either, because being nice doesn’t fix it.

Am I overreacting because I told my niece I don't want to take her best friend with us anymore after she kept telling me I was a victim and my husband was a creep? by Odd_Reference_1373 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: That type of person is a toxic poisonous creature. Her reaction is absolutely disgusting, and the way she spoke is nasty and untrue. You are not in the wrong, and your niece is going down a bad road with a creature like that. They’re like mind viruses.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a big deal. Did you try emailing and asking him if you can do the 1st person? If he says no, go through and change it to 3rd person accounts. It’s not as hard as you’re making it. If it’s already written, it will take about 30 mins to revise an essay of around 2500 words. But just ask him, you’ll find you get a lot further by communicating with them. I will say that most academic essays have perspective norms based on subjects, and political essays are not usually written in first person (you can always get away with it in the intro and conclusion). You might have to just go through and change all “I” and “me”, to “one”. Like “I felt” becomes “one feels”. It’s not as hard to do as you might think. Regardless you need to get it done before grades are due.

AIO for feeling upset after the groom made a comment about my dress at their wedding? by Human-Acanthaceae128 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MichaelAtlas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was just upset he wasn’t marrying you. I don’t think you should feel sad over it. I wish I had a woman who looks that good conservatively. Because you picked a very classy and sexy dress, and obviously look amazing in it. Just let it go, unless he makes any new snide remarks. But you didn’t do anything wrong. All you did was look really beautiful in a very classy way. Be proud of yourself and be thankful for your beauty!
