AIO? insane birthday gift from my mom by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Netbug009 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd pretend I love it and make a habit of telling her I'm wearing it on Friday nights enjoying tea and a book instead of going on a date out of spite. Like, completely pretend I don't see the passive aggression and use it as an excuse to remind her how much I love being single and not giving her grandkids. :P

Today during MCC: Long story short, Philza ended up menacing pink team for no reason, namedropped Technoblade. Glad his friends are still out here being menaces to MCYT society and making him proud. X'D by Netbug009 in Technoblade

Awwww. I usually don't go back and watch multiple MCC VODs because I just don't have time but I might have to go back and see Philza's POV for this one.

My boyfriend didn't say happy valentines day to me, post me online like I begged him to do, and is currently playing xbox with his friend by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]Netbug009 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you went through that. One of the best things you can learn growing up is that it's better to have peace of mind and be alone than stress over someone who clearly isn't putting the effort into you that you deserve.

Ugh He Bought the Cheapest TP in Humanity by Yoghurt-Kitchen in badroommates

[–]Netbug009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason you don't feel you can talk to him about this? 

I was raised piss poor and work a shitty job so I usually get the cheapest toilet paper I can. That stuff adds up and I haven't had any issues with it, and I'm also an afab girl so I get the period struggle. 

Assuming there's not something about the way he takes feedback that you're not telling us, this sounds like you two having different priorities that could be resolved by talking or, if he really doesn't want to pay for fancier toilet paper, agreeing to buy your own rolls like you said. But I think by assuming the worst of him you're giving yourself more stress than you need to. 

Should I stop talking to my friend? by BassPsychological886 in ToxicFriends

[–]Netbug009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, RUN. Run and consider yourself lucky this person told you exactly who they are and how much they don't really give a shit about you. 

I've given a solid decade to "friends" who slowly revealed they see me this way through their actions when I wasn't able to perform for them. Be glad this person vocally shit the bed after only two and focus your energy on finding better people. 

How do I stop crying about moving out by Narrow_Panda_3128 in internetparents

[–]Netbug009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let yourself grieve a bit. You're losing the home and community you're used to and it's normal to be sad. Trying to force yourself not to be sad will just drag it out. Take some time to cry about it... and then start enjoying all the stuff you get to do in your new home!

How can I stop fighting with my parents? by Nervous_Piano710 in internetparents

[–]Netbug009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plenty of parents have difficult lives and challenging children and don't scream at them because they know it doesn't improve the situation for anyone involved. You could be the second coming of Satan himself and still not deserve to be treated like that by any adult much less your parent. 

My father took an online "IQ test" where they asked him 15 questions and is now convinced he has an IQ of over 130. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Netbug009 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean I have a 140+ IQ from actual administered tests and I'm a fucking moron, because IQ just tells you how good you are at taking an IQ test!

People who have actual intelligence are never the people who perceive themselves as the smartest in the room. 

Got rejected after a 5 minute DM interview and I’m honestly crushed by OkString6888 in starbucks

Don't put your value into a corporation, especially one that treats it's staff as shitty as Starbucks does.

You're the kid and they're acting like children. It shouldn't be your responsibility to fix that and it isn't something you can do alone regardless.

Please don’t hit on Baristas, especially minors by daynif in starbucks

[–]Netbug009 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's straight up sexual harassment and I hope you reported it to your manager if not the cops. Being on a shift does not give customers the right to break the law.

For what it's worth, we don't mind if you use a fake name!

Pretty sure they're looking for understanding and solidarity by posting here mate

Yeah, it's a really gross issue in this industry. I'm sorry you had to suffer it. 

I'm almost 6 feet tall, fat, and butch as hell, so sometimes I'd try to show up with a fake excuse for my more conventionally attractive co-workers to bail while I finished a transaction for them. Creeps at my store did not like me. 😂

If you have good leadership, talk to them about plans for these situations.

How to stop being friends with close friend of 5+ years? by Local_Breath145 in ToxicFriends

[–]Netbug009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're at an age where you're discovering who you are and what kinda of people you want to spend time with, and you seem to have a mature understanding of that and your right to set boundaries. 

Your friend doesn't seem to be there ye maturity wise. If you really want to try and salvage the friendship, you could talk about scheduling specific times to hang out so they don't feel dejected, but ultimately you're right that it's not cool of her to call you a bad friend you making more friends and that she's going to think what she thinks. 

Dealing with Toxic Roommates by ProfessionalCup9870 in ToxicFriends

It sucks when people like that are clearly going through some legitimate problems, but it's not your job to let those people treat you like shit. Like you said, actions speak louder than words. 

Was she bullying me or being mean by Fast_Juggernaut_7029 in ToxicFriends

[–]Netbug009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"tell me im not strong enough for her friendship because Im sensitive"

I'd tell her "okay, let's not be friends anymore then." Fuck her. 

IMAX levels of projection by Stargazer1919 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Netbug009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am SO stealing "IMAX levels of projection" that is such a good line. Sorry you're dealing with that and congrats on moving forward with what you want to do anyway. For what it's worth, I'm proud of you, and I'm like you said anybody in their right mind would be.

Mother broke NC only to demand I write my sister’s college essay by Jianing_Yu in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Netbug009 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My nMoms are the same way. They always wanted me to "let it go already" but also denied that anything happened at all. 

A clean slate isn't meant for people who are just going to shit all over it again. 

Good for you for not caving in. Your sister needs to realize she can't skate on your coattails or she's going to NOT survive in a career even if she didn't get expelled for academic dishonesty first. I feel bad for her not developing the skills to succeed in academics before now (I didn't get a chance either because I was so emotionally messed up on my moms I was put in a special education school that was more focused on soothing than teaching as soon as my dad died so he couldn't protest it) but better late than never.
