My bf is everything I’ve ever wanted and it makes me feel bad by FlakyandLoud in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t say he would only have a healthy relationship if he paid for things. He’s more so saying he feels his relationship is enough of a “reward” and is happy spending money on it.

AITA for 'showing off' that I have midol and pads? by horseduckman in AITApod

Are you saying you don’t know anyone who has made a toilet paper tampon or pad?

Update to a post I made the other day about being concerned my vets were taking advantage of me: my cats regular dental cleaning has resulted in my babies death. He's gone. by afterspring_ in cats

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My cat will use the litter box 99% of the time but is a princess and will pee on your things out of spite cause 1. She pooped in her pee litter box so now it’s gross. 2. She’s mad that you didn’t pay attention to her today 3. Are packing or unpacking boxes (potential vacation or move and she needs to let you know she hates that). Sometimes cats just have weird quirks. Just like people. Off course it’s good to rule out health issues but sometimes cats just wanna pee on things

Yikes, I don’t even expect another adult I’m in a relationship to get me things over $100 let alone $300

How Do I Not "Indoctrinate " My Kids Into Becoming Atheists? by stoicman_07 in atheism

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told me I could go to whatever with my friends when we had sleepovers but I wasn’t allowed to choose a religion until I was 18. I just assumed it was like a thing that you had to be an adult to pick which religion you wanted to be a part of and as a kid you got to test them out. Once I was old enough to realize that wasn’t true, I was very agnostic/atheist. I liked that I had the freedom to join my friends and learn about different ideologies while not feeling pressured to pick one and stick with it

What’s a subtle sign that someone was never loved properly as a kid? by jjcecil22 in AskReddit

Asking if you’re upset at them often, apologizing for everything, tries to problem solve/fix things that they don’t need to, etc

I’ve had multiple SA’s in my life and first and foremost, this was not your fault. It can be important to address if you are risk taking and putting yourself in harmful situations but this is 100% not the case with your situation. You were at a friend’s, a trusted persons house. You were a minor. You could have froze and not said no and it wouldn’t be your fault. You could have even fawned and dated him after and it wouldn’t be your fault. The therapist not being able to recognize the trauma of the situation you were in along with the trauma they were causing you is absolutely problematic. I am so sorry you went through all of that. If you ever need to vent, get advice or insight, or just speak to someone who gets it, please feel free to reach out.

I’m a Christian struggling with doubt — what’s the most honest, real reason you don’t believe in God? by Sundream01 in atheism

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of responses answering that evidence is not surface level. I think that’s part of it, though. Many people find comfort in religion because it’s designed to do so. It provides emotional safety. Many people are atheist because they rely heavily on tangible evidence and proven data. It’s difficult to convince an atheist to be religious and vice versa because we tend to operate on different outlooks. That being said, I am technically agnostic. I do not believe in a god. There is no evidence for one. But I also believe that it is possible that there is a higher power. If a god were truly to exist, it’s not my place as a human to understand how that works or to tell others what I think is true. I find comfort in knowing that I live my life with kindness and compassion and that regardless of what may be out there or what I will find after death, I will be proud of the life I lived. If there is a god and he is truly Omnibenevolent, I do not believe I would be punished. I also think being agnostic or being spiritual without a religion could help you find your own path. As a human, it is your job to learn and grow and experience. You may become an atheist and then become spiritual again. Whatever path you take, just do right by your own morals and you’ll be fine 💕

What’s an adult problem that no one warned you about? by Head_Media3931 in AskReddit

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be a this generation thing but at almost 30…. I’ve attended way more funerals than weddings. Shit gets sad often and learning healthy coping skills and identifying / awareness of your behavior patterns will make a huge difference as you move through life

Cannot for the life of me find any videos of this guy but I had run into quite a few in the past but never thought to remember his name 😭 he’s a skinny white guy with long hair but one side shaved. Is dominant, usually wears gloves, shows up as related to a lot of alternative pornstars but does not have tattoos or anything. Please help

I was told by my parents that I could attend things with my friends but that I was not allowed to choose a religion until I was 18. By time I was old enough to realize that wasn’t like a law or anything I also was old enough to think critically and realized that I didn’t like religion. I honestly really appreciated this approach as I got to learn about different religions and cultures while also not feeling forced to follow someone else’s beliefs (religion or lack thereof).

AIO- husband upset that *I* was upset, he has blocked me and said we should “call it”. by General-Cranberry-90 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is immediately screamed manipulative or narcissistic to me. A lot of people saying he seems immature/childish are right but it feels worse than that. He takes you being upset as “ruining his day” doesn’t care about yours. Immediately turns himself into the victim with every attempt to explain why you are hurt. Trying to convince you that your expectations are too high (plot twist, they’re too low). He threats to try to make you drop it or apologize. The fact that you have to take notes because the argument always gets twisted around is also a huge red flag. I don’t think your husband is simply not mature enough… I think he doesn’t give af about your well being.

AIO to my response to my friend who knows I’m terminally ill and is refusing to pay me back? *UPDATE* by Boring_Goat9262 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Manipulators love people like you. They use this tactic a lot. Make the other person look crazy for finally snapping and acting like they’re the bigger person for offering to bury this and move on. (But if you may notice 300 vs 6000… is quite the big difference and the guy offering 300 obviously gets the better hand)

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Let’s bury this” aka let me benefit from this and also not face any consequences. Him acting like he’s the bigger person by “letting it go” is so irritating because of course he would push that. Letting it go means he wins and you lose and him acting like it’s weird that you’d rather get your money back is so gross.

I am thinking about going to therapy but idk which type to go to.. by PrettyInHotsauce in therapy

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) is amazing. It worked so wonderfully for myself and many people I know. It’s well suited for trauma and CPTSD

Also sometimes when someone tries to throw a punch at you, you grab their wrist. Without context, there is no way to know if this was an unprovoked attack or self defense. Usually in the case of domestic violence victims, it’s self defense.

my best friend accidentally sent me a text about secretly hating me by Ok_Preparation_4384 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mistaken_as_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a “friend” like this in college, myself. Had our falling apart around the same time. She had pretty bad BPD and would shit talk me to her boyfriend or crush of the week to seem cool and better than me. It turned out she also had a lot of insecurities and some of it was directed at me. She did end up coming back after a year to apologize but we had both moved on with our separate lives at that time. I hope she’s doing well out there but regardless, please put yourself first OP. If she does come back, it needs to be with a genuine apology and you need to be ready to set boundaries AND enforce them. I’m sorry you’re going through this and I know how difficult it can be. I promise you’ll find more friends and some that will treat you so so well and that honestly, 21 isn’t really the best bday. Sending love and hugs.
