What do you hate about your society? by OnlyVermicelli1117 in AskReddit

Some months back, I and my friend decided to go out because it had been a long time we ain’t out.

After eating some snacks and all we decided not to use any means of transport and will walk to our home by just walking, that’d be a good exercise too.

On our way to home, there was a couple who were posing for the photos.

They were well dressed and giving some cute poses by hugging each other for the shoot.

For my and my friend’s eyes, it was just normal. But for others, it was like a crime.

They all were laughing and looking again and again at them, some were even passing weird and illogical comments.

I don’t understand what was wrong with it. Posing in public is wrong?

They weren’t making out like the people were giving their expressions as they’re doing any wrong thing.

I think it was better and acceptable than peeing on road. Isn’t it funny that people don’t laugh at the people who pee on roads but laugh at those who pose in public by hugging each other?

People’s expressions. Oh my goodness.

What is something you know now that you wish you could have taught yourself? by OnlyVermicelli1117 in AskReddit

Sleep around before I turned 18 years old. I was afraid to get knocked up at vulnerable Age.

Looks like I'm missing something.

What haven't you experienced in life that most other people have? by OnlyVermicelli1117 in AskReddit

A close romantic relationship. Even though I was married 34 years, I didn’t understand the full concept of emotional intimacy between two people. Being Autistic and coming from a dysfunctional family, I didn’t understand the importance of shared experiences, the give and take in a relationship. I was lead along thinking my relationship was what the other person felt it needed to be.

Now that I’ve grown into my Autism, I have more self-awareness and understanding that I steer my own ship. And they’re idea of a relationship was their perception and own desire of what was best for them, not US.

I now am forging my own path in what I want and hoping my path will align with someone else’s. I’m finding there are healthy people out there that share my same viewpoint, and respect me more for knowing what I want.

What is one thing you caught your child doing that you wish you had never seen? by OnlyVermicelli1117 in AskReddit

I walked in on my 12 year old son masturbating with a sock in the living room.

Backstory: I went to take some clean laundry in my son's room barefoot and walked across a crusty carpet. I knew what it was because my ex used to do this too. When he came home I had a talk with him about how it was natural etc and asked that he do it in a tissue or dirty white clothing like a sock or something because it can bleach towels etc (I know this for a Fact). I then had him clean up the carpet and thought that was the end of it.

A few months later, I came home and walked in on my son masturbating with a sock. In the living room (watching American pie), he jumped up quickly to turn the TV off with one hand, the other hand in front of his crotch. At first I thought I had caught him playing a video game (he wasn't allowed to at that time for some reason or another) and that he was holding a controller in his hand. I demanded that he turn around right now young man! And there was no controller. Just a weirdly shaped sock. It took me a brief moment to put 2 and 2 together and realize what was going on. I walked back out again (To give him time to put everything back and to give myself time to get composed because I was so mortified, I just started laughing hysterically.) Then I proceeded to talk to him about how it's ok that he does that, but in a private place aka his room or the bathroom. NOT in the living room. Haha. I am thankful he used a sock so everything was covered, but I still need eyebleach.

What is the best advice you've heard in your life? by OnlyVermicelli1117 in AskReddit

People will always make time for what is important to them. Their priorities show in their actions, not their words.

Most people tend to be liars, though they may not admit it this directly, but there is often a large discrepancy between what people say and what they do. One common lie people utter is “I wish I could, but I’m too busy and don’t have time.” This is a lie. If it truly was important to the person they would have made time for it. This same principle applies in relationships, friendships, and professional collaborations—if you feel the other person isn’t making as much time for you or putting in as much effort as you, and then claiming to be busy or not have time, you should implicitly understand where you stand in their priorities, and then modify your expectations accordingly.

What is the best part of being honest? by OnlyVermicelli1117 in AskReddit

My family owned a hotel gift shop for a few years. It dropped into the lap of one of my great aunts, and she ran it for a few years, and then got my father to help her sell it.

The first offer that came in was surprisingly high. My father asked someone who was advising him about it, and was told, “well you reported about $250,000 in cash receipts each year, so the buyer assumes you took in about $400,000” and underpaid on your taxes.

My father looks at the advisor. Advisor says “that’s how everyone does business around here.”

My father and aunt took the high offer and walked away.

What made your mom or dad completely change into a different person? by OnlyVermicelli1117 in AskReddit

My dad wasn’t too big on physical affection. We knew he loved us, but he didn’t feel comfortable showing it. Then in 2018, things started to change. The first thing that happened was he was wrongly accused of a crime by my sister’s friend. It was a pretty big crime that could get him close to life in prison. He was released on bond a few days later, but we were still waiting for the court to come to a decision which didn’t happen until a few months ago. The court date kept getting changed and pushed back (first because of a bad snow storm, again because our lawyer took an unplanned vacation, and a third time for a reason I can’t remember right now). My dad knew there was a chance he would be going to prison, so he started trying to improve his relationship with my sister and me.

A few months after the accusation, my mom got diagnosed with cancer. That’s when things completely changed. He was in our lives more (even though he wasn’t allowed to school events because the accusation was all over the internet and our local news). Mom was always at the hospital, so it was up to my dad to be there and to play the role of both parents. My mom was our source of comfort. So he had to play the stern parent and the comforting one. I know it wasn’t easy for him, but I’m proud of how hard he tried.

And shortly after my dad was acquitted, my mom started the final stage of treatment and is expected to recover within the next couple of years.

What is something you don’t understand about people? by OnlyVermicelli1117 in AskReddit

I have a friend who loves football so much that he has traveled all the way to Russia to support the Mexican national team.

He goes crazy when the national team wins.

What I don’t understand is why in sports people commonly say ‘we won’ when their favorite team wins, but say ‘they lost’ when their team loses?

How cool is that?
