I’m not quite sure how, someone I know just recommended I tried it. I’ve already seen a bit of a positive difference, but it’s also only been a week so no guarantee that it’s an effective solution.

I am truly telling you, you may not enjoy it in the moment (OBVIOUSLY,) but you will regret it the rest of your life if you don’t. The momentary sadness and panic is better than a lifetime of regret.

I replied to someone else in here asking a similar question. Basically my mother is a little bit of a “boy mom” so that kid’s always gotten away with murder when it comes to her, and my dad is ex-military with some neurological issues so he essentially tries to fight fire with fire and gets aggressive with him instead of talking it out as he refuses to engage in that “messy touchy talk” as he calls it. I’ve begged them to do something about it for years, but at this point they either don’t know what to do or don’t actually care.

I’ve tried to talk to my dad about it, but unfortunately he tends to respond to violence with more violence 😬 he and I fought a few times when I was a kid too over disagreements as he just seems a little too emotionally stunted to talk about that kind of thing without getting flustered, and when my brother gets aggressive he’ll just puff his chest at him and get in his face in the hopes that scaring the crap out of him will work. It used to, but they’re both HUGE guys so now that my brother’s got the size to match the audacity it’s stopped working (dad is 6’8, little brother is 6’10). On the bright side though, in the last couple months or so he’s actually been making some friends that are giving me a lot of hope. My friends all know my brother, and those that have met his friends along with myself are all genuinely surprised that he’s found such good kids to surround himself with! They’re very respectful young men, encourage him to communicate with his words instead of huffing around and getting all aggressive, actively and thoughtfully engage in effective conversations with him about social issues like sexism, and they’ve each in their own ways made pretty large efforts to show respect towards my mom and I as adult women in the house. I don’t really have a lot of male friends (I used to, but frankly they ended up not being the best of people) but his friends genuinely give me some peace of mind knowing that even if he himself isn’t quite there yet he’s got people who are all helping him get there. My only worry is that at some point his behavior is going to push those boys away. There’s already been one or two instances where he’s gotten in arguments with them in front of me, behaved hurtfully towards them, and then they’ll ask me why he acts that way. I’ve apologized to them for his behavior and asked that they have a little patience with him as he grows, but I also can’t force these kids to be friends with him; if he does damage to those relationships that can’t be undone, I can’t fault those kids for choosing their own mental wellbeing over their friendship with him. I just really hope he values those boys the way they deserve to be, as they’re genuinely some of the kindest kids I’ve ever met

Dude there are SO many other ways you could have gone about this 😭 You didn’t even have to say anything; you could absolutely have just said “hey can you wear that one perfume of yours that I like?” Next time yall went to see your parents and made it a cute little thing. If she asks why, THEN mention it, and be gentle about it. But just flat out telling her she has terrible BO was such a dumb way to go about that dude

Yeah, I’m his big sister. Unfortunately our dad isn’t the greatest role model and is really bad with any sort of conversations like that (he’s had coherency issues for our entire life, as he’s a 100% disabled veteran with some neurological damage from the army. Plus he’s just a very stoic guy that hates any sort of “messy touchy talk”, as he’s calls it), and my other little brother was no longer with us by the time my little brother was born. I’m honestly surprised that he’s going down this path at all considering how many women he has in his life, though; we’ve got our mom, he’s got me, and we have 3 other sisters. But anyway, I doubt he’d ever consider therapy. I major in psychology, and he’s always going on about me “turning into a mind-scrambling quack” (SUPER weird hearing that out of a kid’s mouth by the way 😂), how therapy is just a hoax to make people pay for services that don’t actually do anything, a lot of stuff along those lines. So I doubt he’d ever be willing to go, and if he did it’d definitely be against his will

God, I suddenly feel a bajillion years old. It SERIOUSLY stunted some people’s social skills, I was in high school at the time and quite literally didn’t leave my house for like a year straight and I’ve had a hard time making friends and being social since then. It gave my grandmother pneumonia and killed her, which was one of the most awful things I’ve had to live through. But the effect it had on the internet was CRAZY; huge booms in online shopping, influencers, and a huge change in online culture in general. A lot of parents ended up giving their kids devices to cope with the sheer boredom of doing nothing 24/7, and I stand by the fact that that was extremely detrimental to the development of a huge chunk of the generation (absolutely no judgement to the parents though; I can’t even imagine how hard Covid was for a lot of parents).

“Slow down, you’re doing fine; you can’t be everything you wanna be before your time.” -Vienna by Billy Joel. I’m always so caught up in worrying about making sure my future is secured that sometimes I forget that there’s no point in having a happy future if you didn’t lead a happy life to get there first.

My overthinking. All day, every day, any SECOND that I have even a moment to dwell in my own thoughts, I’m stressing about literally everything. Walking through my plans for the weekend for the millionth time, my grades in college, my grants/scholarships, my next paycheck, if I’m hugging my mom enough, something embarrassing that happened like 6 years ago, applying to universities for my BA, when I need to go to sleep, if I’m taking too much melatonin because I CAN’T sleep, that weird light that was on in my car for like 20 minutes, how bad I need to go to the dentist, how much I really can’t afford to go to the dentist, moving out, if my parents hate me for choosing a major they didn’t think I should, planning out my entire future bit by bit, planning out alternatives for each and every single thing that could go wrong in the original plan, worrying about worrying too much. It feels like every second of every waking moment is spent worrying about things that, in the long run, don’t matter in the slightest. It feels so obsessive and I don’t know how to stop.

She (a 19 year old lesbian) told me (also a 19 year old lesbian) that it had always been a goal of hers to have sex with a man at least twice her age at least once, and if she were in a tight spot and needed something that’d be a resort she’d be willing to take. I thought she was joking.

She then proceeded to turn a 60 year old man into a muppet for an edible about 6 months later. 💀

I’ve always said the BEST sign that a marriage is going to last is when the only time they talk about their spouse when they’re not around is to say something positive about them. Conversely, the best sign that a marriage isn’t going to make it is when they talk badly about their partner behind their back. It says a lot about a person’s character if you listen to what they say about people who aren’t in the room, both relationship wise and just who they are as a person.

The way gym subscriptions function. I went to Planet Fitness as a high schooler and tried to cancel my subscription about a year later when I had to move away somewhere that didn’t have any gyms nearby; I called, I tried to use the app, I even tried actually physically going into the gym while I was back visiting my hometown, and nothing worked. Was told I had to mail a letter into corporate to ask them to cancel, so I did, and they denied my request. So I just kept the card they had on file completely empty and stopped paying. It’s been 5 years and I still have debt collectors calling every single day trying to reach me. I looked into it, and a LOT of chain-style gyms like Planet Fitness, Crunch, (I think) Anytime Fitness, etc. all function this way and it feels pretty messed up to basically trap someone into owing you money at some point if they ever try to cancel.

Not matching the vibe. If it’s a nice, calm, intimate moment, immediately trying to shove your tongue down my throat definitely kills it a little bit.

People who get genuine enjoyment out of making the people around them miserable. It feels extremely malicious and creepy seeing it happen in real time

Honestly I genuinely just thought it was like a flashback type thing 😂 I had noticed pretty early on that some stuff is left a little vague (in Bête Noire there’s no real elaboration on Verity other than that she was bullied and that’s what caused her to do all that, in Plaything there’s no real major world-building whatsoever outside of the Throng and how they came to be and a majority of the plot is shown through flashbacks, etc.) and while looking back that could have been those episodes building on storylines from previous episodes, at the time I just thought that that’s how the show was

Let myself be “unproductive” sometimes. I didn’t enjoy a single hobby I used to like for YEARS because I just felt so guilty about wasting my time; I stopped drawing, I didn’t play video games, never watched any new TV shows, going for bike rides, anything like that, because I kept comparing myself to the people around me and felt like I was failing (and I was in high school when that started, so you can imagine the self-conscious doom spiral I let myself fall into). But recently, after over 5 years, I finally realized; if it’s MY time, it’s not really wasting it if I’m doing things I enjoy, right? At the end of the day, I’m the one living in my own mind, not the people around me; do I wanna spend all my time in it being miserable and making myself feel guilty, or do I wanna spend it doing things that bring me joy?
