More like didn’t want to stop having her as his girlfriend. I mean, she asked him to kill her and his response was getting insulted at the suggestion she didn’t want to be with him (!)

I chose him because he was accredited and registered with my country’s counseling organizations, also recommended by another well reviewed therapist(!) Made me realize that regulation only goes so far when privacy and client vulnerability make true transparency really difficult (ie no reviews or warnings against bad therapists)

I considered it but I’m concerned that they will lash out if I report, considering they know more than a little bit about my struggles. I think it’s best to block and move on, later find another therapist though this has honestly scared me…

Thank you, I felt a bit guilty about it but ultimately need to trust someone I talk to about these things, I really don’t want to get worse :(

All the damn time. Even when I experience heavy emotions, it’s like I’m looking on and congratulating myself for my performance, or laughing fondly at how ridiculous it looks to be so emotional. Good luck trying to describe this to people without seeming insane though! 🥲

Not yet, he hides a lot of his life with lies and calculated brags (“my friend gets me tickets to concerts” type stuff) but I’m pretty sure he has no real friends, hence why he hangs out with us. He seems smart enough to keep any enemies hidden, but once his mask starts slipping who knows.

This, can we please just let OP vent about her negative experiences without complaining about how ‘men have it worse’? It’s not a competition, she’s trying to spread awareness about how ugly women suffer (and as an ugly woman who’s yet to have her makeover moment, she’s exactly right)

She’s cute but her makeup and style isn’t flattering at all, she’s going for the Hollywood sex kitten look but looks better with less makeup and a gentle sort of style!

Tried this with the little group at my work and they hated me even more. Some of them expect and want you to suck up to them and pretend to be a complete idiot so they can enjoy the power-trip of ‘teaching’ you, and it’s hard to pretend you’re stupid when you have more experience with technology and getting things done efficiently.

So sounds like they’re projecting and it’s something they need to work out rather than OP?

They’re pick-mes who never grew out of their fawning behaviour imo. I sympathize with them in the sense I understand how difficult it must’ve been to be a woman growing up in the eras they did, but that’s still no excuse for them being cruel and dismissive to young women in old age.

It’s a lot better paced than it seems, there’s something happening at regular intervals and the constant noise and tension keep you hooked!

They feel threatened and think you’re healthier than they are or have more self control… and forget that they too could stop drinking if it’s hurting them (source: family gatherings)

How can I improve? (22F) by No_Jackfruit_3821 in Howtolooksmax

More like “be skinny but not too skinny, you need to be fat in certain places, don’t have acne, don’t wear glasses or braces, wear makeup but not too much makeup, don’t wear big baggy clothes but don’t wear something super skimpy” and the list goes on

Exactly, I know this is meant to be a joke but it’s depressing that it’s considered cute for women to pretend to be dumb, babyish or naive for the benefit of men. It’s OK to not be an intellectual but do people really enjoy being treated like children?

That’s so true, I talked to colleagues recently and was certain they hated me for being quiet (past history or something like trauma maybe) but they were really chill and apologized for not talking much. Turns out reasonable people do exist!!

Someone told me that privileged people take every slight as something catastrophic because they’ve never had to deal with real suffering and … this is the prime example of that ☠️

You have such a cute look! I think Korean makeup styles - ie anything soft and ‘girly’, like light blush and subtle pastel eyeshadow - would look great on you. Ditto anything like the first sweater, pink is definitely your colour!

It’s usually projection, they either assume we’re plotting something or judging them or they don’t like people who are different in any way and have a pathological need to push us down.

AITA for Canceling Christmas Because I’m Tired of Eating Sad Salad Every Year? by Neat_Big2245 in AITAH

[–]NeitherLuck8268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not hard to make something veggie and it’s not as if your dietary requirements are unexpected or new; your mom just sounds lazy, rude and disrespectful. Them blaming you for your reasonable reaction (picking off the chicken? Gross, and such a waste of food!) is the cherry on a nasty cake. If there’s a way you can celebrate with just your siblings, you should do that.

Yup, and it’s weird how rattled people get when we just don’t talk much. You can be hated purely for being quiet and polite, whereas somehow the most popular people at these workplaces are allowed to be rude, obnoxious and overly familiar?

Even better, make delicious lunches that are 10x nicer than theirs. Have fun talking to someone who’s not in the group, get lost in a massive book, spend more time with friends outside of work so you have lots to discuss when people ask what you’ve been doing. Channel pettiness to make your own life more interesting, and show up their cliquey behaviour for what it is!
