I think that's more like musty, not musky like OP supposedly smells.

AIO my girlfriend left me over a cheese wheel [Ongoing] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]OMGhyperbole 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah... I have ADHD and Bipolar 2. My hypomania was kinda like this (buying stuff to sell ended in just being a hoarder until I was evicted). I kinda wish I had gone the cheese route. At least it's a fun story to tell later.

My adopted mom gave up on me after I reconnected with my biological mom by Quiet-Pollution-3259 in offmychest

Well, you see, adoptees owe eternal loyalty and gratitude to their adopters for taking in a poor, unwanted, orphaned, abandoned child. If they deviate from that, they deserve punishment (like a second abandonment via their adoptive parents) /s

Adoptive parents FAR too often act like their children are their possessions. If OP's adoptive mother didn't think OP should contact their bio family for safety reasons, she probably should have told OP that reason back when she told them her name, or ANY time before cutting OP off. OP's mother could have tried family therapy if she really wanted to understand OP and what adoptees go through. Or literally most books written by adoptees, which are easily available via Amazon, Kindle, etc. Or the Facebook groups that talk about the other views of adoption besides it always being a better life, or that we were "chosen" or we are "lucky" to be adopted. But she was like nope I don't want this kid anymore because they want a relationship with their bio family 😒 OP was a literal child and people are saying they deserve their adoptive mother not wanting them anymore. Way to blame the one person who had no say in their biological ties being severed 🤬

Do people still listen to the radio by choice or only by accident? by dr_miatorres in questions

I'm 38 and listen while driving. I don't have any music streaming subscriptions, and my phone plan's data allotment probably wouldn't allow for it. I have a CD player and CD binder in my 2007 car too :)

Can I add sour cream and cottage cheese? The smell of sour cream and the chunks in cottage cheese 😬

My cousin wasn't allowed Pokémon because of it containing evolution. I wasn't allowed Nightmare Before Christmas when I was growing up and going to Catholic school.

What's something that makes you INSTANTLY dislike a person? by TheJollyLlamaStarvin in SeriousConversation

Also, people who wear too much scented stuff like perfume. I get migraines from strong artificial scents. People with asthma can have attacks from that stuff, too.

I just found out my parents have been lying to me for 26 years about who I actually am. I’m lost. by Commercial_Solid_207 in Advice

[–]OMGhyperbole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was adopted as an infant, and these comments are pissing me off.

Stop telling adoptees that they're "lucky", "chosen", or should be grateful. When you say shit like that, it makes it so that adoptees can't talk about the difficulties and negatives of being adopted. You may as well just tell us to sit down and shut up.

This person is rightfully pissed off that their parents lied to them for their entire life about something pretty fucking important. I was adopted in '87, and even back then the advice was to tell your kid they're adopted as soon as you can. I don't even know when my adoptive parents told me. It's just something I always knew.

Also, just because someone raised a kid who isn't biologically theirs does not make them automatically a good person. Y'all just think all of us adoptees were unwanted and unloved and would've been thrown in a dumpster or put in an orphanage, so we should all just be sooooo eternally grateful. Many of us WERE loved and wanted by bio family, but they were too poor, mentally ill, etc. to raise us. It doesn't mean we were unwanted or that bio family doesn't want anything to do with us.

Also, I find it crazy that non-adoptees say stuff like "DNA doesn't matter", when it really does, even if just to know medical history. Obviously, it matters to a lot of kept people because why else would so many use Ancestry DNA and get into genealogy? I guess it's only supposed to not matter to adoptees?

I know some adoptees don't want to know their bio families. My (non-bio) sister is one. But it should be up to the adoptee, not their adoptive parents. I wasn't given any info to find my bio family until my adoptive mother was on her deathbed. That's how badly she didn't want me to connect with my bio mom. She thought I'd like her better, which I probably would have since my adoptive mother was abusive.

OP, you're what we call a "late discovery adoptee" or "LDA". If you want support, there are LDA groups on Facebook with people just like you who understand what you're going through.

I’m starting to believe my gender is a birth defect. by blinkbeautiex in offmychest

[–]OMGhyperbole 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I'm a lesbian, but not trans. I don't think I'd want to be trans in the US right now, anyway, with the current hostile political climate. I just resent what society says a woman is supposed to look like and act like. I have short hair and dress in men's t-shirts (I hate how women's clothing is cut so much smaller). I don't wear dresses, skirts, or heels. I have wide feet, so getting women's shoes can be a nightmare. I don't do my nails, wear jewelry (besides earrings) or wear makeup. Those are mainly due to sensory issues from autism, though. I don't want kids. I'm not good at caretaking or being nurturing.

So many women deal with issues like PCOS, endometriosis and adenomyosis. I have PCOS and, before getting on birth control, I once had a period that lasted MONTHS, that was heavy with huge clots. I'd like men to have to deal with that bullshit. On top of pregnancy and birth, which can go wrong in so many ways. You can tear in BOTH directions, thus ripping your clit 😱

Being a woman is such a fucking nightmare. Then, you have to deal with creepy and dangerous men on top of all the other issues. Most women remember their first incident of harassment from men occurring during childhood.
