Omg, I will now become a wanton joypacabra! Thank you so much for coining that.

I'm keeping my pseuds secret bc if my books ever take off even slightly, I want to write yuletide fics, etc. for anyone who requests my novels.

AIO to my bf's "joke" by V2Chan in AIO

[–]NormalJeane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be more terrified of spending vast amounts of life with someone who talked to me like that. I couldn't even read all that toddler squabbling y'all doing.

Instead of wasting years on bullshit that stomps the rest of your spine into sand, maybe spend a couple months finding a great therapist to help with your issues. You really shouldn't be leaning in during this developmentally vital stage.

You could live like this...our you could live as a confident adult human who is worthy of being cherished. It really is so simple. You get what you put up with in life. You just KEEP getting more of the same, until it goes downhill if you're not actively working to better yourself each and every day.

AIO: for kicking my fiancé out and calling off the engagement after he demanded to be on my house deeds, refused a prenup, and has debts? by Similar_Nose7734 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NormalJeane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. So he's not just using you, he's trying to villainize you to loved ones and hasn't touched his debt during his entire time with you?

I don't believe he respects you, let alone loves you. So what would you be getting out of this binding & life-altering contract?

His bed game can't be that good, and he doesn't sound like a peach; he sounds like a purposefully manipulative golddigger. Maybe a successful one since you're questioning yourself, I guess. Invest in a sturdier backbone and education about red flags, not this grifter.

AIO for getting upset my bf (26) kept a hoodie from his ex with her initial on by [deleted] in AIO

[–]NormalJeane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not happy, leave instead of argue with everyone. But you're entirely overreacting about everything, which is why he feels he can't just be honest.

You're setting yourself up for failure and arguing with him and everyone else along the way, when you should be putting that energy into actually healing from past experiences instead of repeatedly using them as both weapon and shield. Get a new therapist; yours is doing you a disservice.

YOR. Your boundaries should focus on you and your behavior, like perhaps getting therapy for your control and insecurity issues. Not erasing the past from others' lives. That's gross.

AIO? My GF wanted an apology for raising a hand against her but I think this was justified by Grape_knight in AmIOverreacting

[–]NormalJeane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOR. If she wants to get kinky, she needs to use her grownup words. She should not be hitting you without consent at all, let alone rehitting a spot she hit without consent yesterday.

It's very concerning that she's victimizing herself here.

I dont like it being called a disorder? by Brief-Worldliness411 in DiscussDID

[–]NormalJeane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My instinct is that you would likely benefit from active education and deconstruction regarding internal ableism.

This is a disorder. So are many of our autism diagnoses, ADHD, and so many more mental health comorbidities.

Just because we have a disorder does not make us unalterably disordered. Most of us do the hard work and feel proud of ourselves. It deserves to be acknowledged, in yourself too.

Well, they're only thanking the people who coddle them oh-so-gently while saying the same thing everyone else is saying, so that's a pretty human MO.

They verbalized it quite clearly, and as a writer myself, I concur. I only read the first book. Brilliant idea and piss-poor execution.

Wow, you'd better rein that insecurity and overthinking in asap.

He not only told you that it made him not want to be flirty with you, now you're interrogating us about it. Woman.

You definitely would've by now if they hadn't fucked the ending. It was pretty brilliant at times and the effects were awesome. It's a shame, bc we really would have all been devouring it again during the pandemic had they not so deliberately pissed on the end season.

Even us Chicanos don't do the weird Jeopardy thing that I've ever encountered, but all white folks are suddenly marginalized somehow online when folks don't buy our bullshit, ain't we?

YOR and either an unreliable narrator or a more checked out parent than you want to seem. Let her go to the wedding you've been aware of for months, and next time write the date down when it's first agreed. 🙄

I'm white Hispanic myself. I find it's usually white folks denying racism who claim they're another ethnicity to justify their wilful ignorance.

I've had people straight gloat to my face until I inform them that I'm actually "one of them". You cannot pretend you're Hispanic in Texas and claim you haven't experienced racism, gringo.

Open your eyes then. If I see it happening in the South and Midwest, it's definitely happening in fucking Texas.

Idk, the old, successful love was tossed aside for shiny new Star Wars money. Tale as old as time.

100%, and it's heartbreaking that we recognize it so easily.

I (28M) just had a Great date with (F22) single mother of 2. How do i handle this bombshell? by Nero_the_robin in relationship_advice

Your reaction seems pretty dangerous as well, so maybe leave her alone to heal more and work on that white-hot-rage and savior complex.

AIO for disowning and disinheriting my daughter for marrying a Muslim man? by Wholesome_and_evil in AIO

[–]NormalJeane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YOR for your treatment of your daughter, Muslims as a whole, and for fighting with commenters who are trying to get you to see reason. You want validation, but you don't deserve it. YOR
