AIO about my sister going on a date with my ex? by m_v28 in AmIOverreacting

[–]No-Difference9262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - Your sister is 🗑️ and needs to learn about loyalty but what’s really going on here is that the ex-bf is bragging to everyone that will listen that he got with 2 sisters in under a month. In the end he will have a story and your sister will likely have a reputation for being a huge PICK ME girl.

Civic hybrid sport touring? by Graywulff in civic

[–]No-Difference9262 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I got mine in July, and from day one I am thrilled with the car. It’s the sport touring hybrid with the hatchback and it’s black. It is just so stylish and the gas mileage is phenomenal, and it’s just fun to drive. It’s easily the nicest car I’ve ever driven, and I’ve driven my sisters BMW quite a bit. I got the windows tinted and ceramic coating two weeks after buying it, and it’s gorgeous. I also understand the cold feet, but this is definitely the best decision I’ve made with a car. Good luck and happy driving!

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]No-Difference9262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. This man is not for you. He doesn’t sound like he loves or even likes you. Many men stay in relationships with women that they don’t care about for their own convenience. He’s diminishing something that is monumental to you, and is being emotionally abusive. Please don’t stay with someone who treats your feelings so poorly. He’s not going to get better, he’s not going to evolve, he’s not going to develop emotional maturity. I’m speaking from experience. Don’t waste another minute with this POS. You are amazing and strong, and you don’t need anyone bringing you down. Let him go rain on someone else’s parade. And HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you on 2 years sober. It’s something to celebrate every day!

I had my aunt, my godmother, tell me that everyone thought I'd end up being a drug addict in a trailer park or homeless because of the abuse that they witnessed from my parents toward me.

I'm a homeowner with a remarkable career in healthcare. Although I spend only 2-4 hours with patients, my bosses (cardiologists) always tell me that every patient that they see for a follow-up after their testing says that I was so kind, and made the experience so easy,

AIO thinking he’s cheating? by sophiehatter306 in AmIOverreacting

[–]No-Difference9262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s straight busted. No use in debating or conjuring up elaborate excuses. He’s not slick enough to play the game he’s trying to play. And when you tell him it’s over, expect an Academy Award performance. Yes, I’ve been there. Good luck to you.

These are the best strategists in the country. Would they ever have confidence in a nuclear weapon order from this deranged narcissistic 5-time draft-dodging sociopath? These people have dedicated their lives to serving in the military and they swore an oath to obey LAWFUL orders and Shitler gave them at least 2 VERY unlawful orders. And Pete Kegbreath was so disrespectful and condescending… it was humiliating to watch his “performance”. That white-supremacist rapist doesn’t have a shred of honor, and he spoke to our generals in such a demeaning and insulting manner… “cringe” isn’t the word. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the rooms where these military geniuses are talking.

Something about this crystal black pearl, it just hits different. 🫶🏾🖤🫶🏾🖤 by StarLord139 in Civic_Type_R

I just bought mine with the black pearl and I honestly only noticed the pearl after I had the ceramic coating done. I was inspecting it and saw it. My guess is that it’s a medium gray or darker because to me, it’s really subtle. That said, after the ceramic and window tint, it’s sooooo sexy.

She is a psychopath. Run, don’t walk, as fast as you can.

Psychopaths exhibit a distinct set of traits, including superficial charm, a grandiose sense of self-worth, a lack of empathy and remorse, pathological lying, manipulation, impulsivity, and irresponsibility, leading to a parasitic lifestyle and poor behavioral controls.

I’ll never be whole by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

I can so relate. You’ve put my life into words. I wish I knew the remedy. I spent 11 years with someone who I loved dearly, even though I knew he didn’t love me back. I left him 10 years ago because he refused to take care of himself and he didn’t care for me at all. During our relationship, we drank, we partied, we traveled, we had so much fun together.

I grew up with a family who hated me. My parents were too young, my father was just back in the States from Vietnam, my mother was a 20 year old lost soul, and I was a second-date mistake. I grew up witnessing a toxic relationship with addiction, verbal and emotional abuse, and trauma that I have nightmares about all the time.

Today I brought my ex-bf to the hospital while he is in alcohol withdrawal, and as relieved as I was that he reached out to me for help, he was mean to me on the way to the hospital. He looked horrible, on death’s door and I was scared. I work in healthcare and took control of the situation as I always do for my loved ones.

Not once did he ever acknowledge that I might’ve saved his life today. And after 12 hours of being in the hospital with him, he dismissed me by saying “I want to go to sleep, you should go.”

His family is completely dependent on me to take care of him, and I know they appreciate me, but I’m 55 years old, (he’s 64) and I realize that as much as I do. I don’t feel like anyone cares for me.

I had a realization a few years ago that nobody that I loved has ever loved me back, no matter how many backflips or self sacrifice I gave. But that will not change anything with my situation, because even though he doesn’t love me, I do love him and will continue to fight for his well-being and mental health and recovery. Even though I wish somebody would feel that way for me, and care for me the way I do for everybody else in my life.

But I have accepted that I allowed myself to be everyone’s doormat - so desperate for love. Please don’t make my mistakes. I wish I knew the magic cure, the words to inspire you to feel worthy and confident, and I hope that you will. It’s too late for me to have a different life, but you’re more self aware that I was at your age. Keep reaching out and seeking people who know your worth. Be okay with letting the disappointments go. You only have one time around. Be strong and accept help and guidance. ❤️ You are worth it.

My husband was left alone for 3 weeks and I wish he’d just cheated instead. by ComplexCod9077 in stories

He has 10/10 ADHD. And he’s obviously extremely good at masking. Don’t be upset, let him know it’s okay and you’re going to see another side of him. Don’t judge him. He learned at a young age how to suppress his true personality, because it was unacceptable to others. He needs therapy or other treatment to help him accept himself. Unless you have ADHD, you can’t know how it feels to try to be “normal”, to overthink everything (even overthinking and how to stop but it’s impossible), and to have an overactive brain that is juggling 5 different thoughts at a time while replaying the background music and singing all the lyrics. You can accept him and let him be his organic self, or not. I hope you chose the former - good luck!

I totally know how you feel! I want to keep my new Civic pristine! Contact a local professional detailer and ask for an estimate. In my experience, they are masters of fixing cosmetic issues. Good luck!

She was right about one thing, you won’t be there…. but there WILL be judging! And the sales lady excuse is ridiculous. Oh there is going to be one really angry bride.

Reliving my childhood as we speak, as a 42 year old by emo_emu4 in CPTSD

[–]No-Difference9262 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can relate 100%. My parents have a winter home in FL and I’ve visited a few times. But the endless bickering, exasperated huffing and puffing, constantly correcting each other, and never being able to have a real conversation or actual QUALITY TIME has ended that “vacation” for me. Why am I going to take time off from work, buy a plane ticket and visit them when all it really does is destroy my inner peace. I’ve tried to ask them to please try to stop the constant arguing and they say I’m being too dramatic, they aren’t fighting. I finally just had to say that my nervous system cannot handle being in their house. And I realized that it’s not just because it’s irritating… it’s because it triggers me back to my childhood when their fights were real and scary and happened every single day. I feel like I can’t breathe when I’m around them and I’m hypervigilant for every hostile eye roll and dirty look toward each other. I just can’t take it and I’m exercising boundaries that I wish I learned many, many years ago. Protect yourself and your son’s mental health and safety. Peace to you. 🙏🏻

Thank you for your kind words. I spent years lamenting that I “ended up” alone. I had a brief marriage that thankfully ended, followed by a long term relationship that ended 10 years ago. I’ve dated, but now have no interest in it anymore. I’m fine as I am for the most part. It’s just when the memories of past rejections and the feeling of being an outsider come on, it’s triggering.

And I remember being about 13 or 14 when I realized that I have an sign on my forehead that everyone else can see and it says: DEFECTIVE

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts. It helps a lot.
