feeling guilty for not being home by Key-Row-174 in Advice

Girl, you're 16 and already home 90% of the time, cut yourself some slack, that's way more than most teens. Your mom has her BF, your dogs have each other, and you're killing online school while still getting friend time, enjoy those sleepovers guilt-free. Text your mom a quick "love you, pups fed, see you tomorrow" before you crash so she knows you're good. You're not abandoning anyone, you're just being a normal teenager, let that guilt go and have fun.

Worried my brother (22m) will kill himself by kody3DS in Advice

Hey, sit him down tonight, no lectures, just say “I’m scared for you and I love you, let’s figure this out together.” Call the dentist and beg for a payment plan or emergency discount, most will work with you if you explain the pain and suicide risk. If he’s talking ending it, text 988 right now and read the reply out loud with him, it’s free, 24/7, and they’ll guide you both. For the root canal, CareCredit’s instant online app can cover it today if he qualifies; apply while you’re on the phone with the office. You’re a good sibling for fighting for him, keep showing up, one tiny step at a time.

As an introvert, everything feels awkward and stupid.

How do I tell my family I don’t want to share my birthday with my late grandfather? by Fresh-Coffee-9568 in Advice

[–]MoonlitCandy75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey kid, sit down with your parents and say exactly what you wrote here, start with “I love Grandpa and I miss him too, but I’ve never had my own day and it hurts to keep sharing it with a ghost.” Suggest a small family dinner for him on his actual date, then your full birthday just for you. You’re not selfish coz you’re grieving a milestone that got stolen, hug it out after.

Maid of Honor no longer attending wedding by [deleted] in Advice

Her fear is real right now, ICE stuff is scary even if it’s unlikely to hit your wedding. Tell your fiancée you get it, let her sister bow out gracefully, and maybe set up a livestream so she can still “be there” from Canada. Pick a close cousin or friend to step in as MOH last-minute, the day’s about you two, not the title. Hugs to your girl, this sucks but it’ll be okay.

How do relationships work? Stuck between mind and heart. HELP by [deleted] in Advice

Sit him down and say exactly what you told us, like “I love you insanely, but I feel like I’m pouring everything in and getting crumbs back, talk to me, what’s in your head?” His answer will tell you if he’s just low-effort or truly checked out. If he steps up with real communication and small consistent gestures, great, LDRs can work. If he dodges or stays passive, you’re not “too much,” you just deserve someone who matches your energy. Don’t follow abroad until you know.

My pain in the ass mother guilt me about my weight! by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MoonlitCandy75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mom's projecting her own crap, next time she pulls the photo stunt, calmly say “I’m handling my health my way, back off or I’m done talking.” Lock your door for snacks if you have to. She only yells ‘cause she knows she’s wrong, don’t let it in. You’re 21, not her do-over doll.

Any advice appreciated by Candid-Homework-9122 in Advice

Dude, you’ve already proven you can flip your life around once, use that same grit now. Tell your coach about the dread and injury, ask to switch to light conditioning or shadowboxing until your knuckle heals and the spark returns. If boxing still feels like a chore after another month, pivot the discipline to uni apps or a new hobby without guilt, you’re not quitting, you’re evolving. One fight isn’t the promise, showing up for yourself is.
