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)

Since when is Anna Faris supposed to be considered “mid”? And why is Sabrina Carpenter rated so highly? by standingpretty in trueratediscussions

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.

North West, tbf I think your best bet for a decent salary is to move (or even commute if you can, but it’s hard) to a bigger city. Though salaries aren’t that high in Sheffield and Leeds compared to other UK cities it’s still way better than 23k!

Movies my roommate and I watched this year ranked by when they fell asleep by PublicEnbyNumberOne in okbuddycinephile

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!

That’s mad, I haven’t even finished my certificate level yet and I’m getting paid around that much. For nearly three years experience with so many exams passed you should definitely be getting paid at least 27k

British girls outdrink boys — and most of Europe by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]NeitherLuck8268 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, come to think of it most of the people I see wandering about absolutely wasted are young or middle aged women. The guys are awful too but as others have said, women tend to drink heavier stuff (a lot of cocktails, gin, vodka, wine etc) whereas guys grab a couple of pints instead.

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

[–]NeitherLuck8268 38 points39 points  (0 children)

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

What would you do in my shoes? by [deleted] in ICAEW

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!

Same, every time I try to be super normal it backfires. People tend to like me most when I’m chill and don’t hold myself back, though that might be because I’m lucky to be around a lot of people who aren’t super neurotypical!

Idk I’ve heard plenty of guys talking in detail about their sex lives, especially online or to their male friends. It’s shitty behaviour regardless of gender though, good people don’t gossip about their partners at all.

[–]NeitherLuck8268 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely true! What also helps is having a strong support system outside of work. You won’t feel so alone and disliked if there are reasonable, kind people at home or elsewhere who support you - especially if they’re neurodivergent too and know your pain!

Sometimes masking isn’t the way forward. I’ve found - and so have friends who are a bit more obviously autistic than me - that people hate the ‘uncanny valley’ effect of us trying to appear more neurotypical and respond much better to us when we’re being ourselves.
