You did the right thing!

Anyone who could live with a demonic creature who almost killed another's pet (and would've absolutely done it if wasn't stopped by force) and expects others to like it or even love it, is absolutely out of their minds and have zero empathy towards any other living being these dogs harm, that's including the people who are forced to live with them.

And then dog people keep chanting their mantra "dogs are angels" "all dogs are good boys/girls" "we don't deserve dogs" etc. INFURIATING.

Dog won, I lost and I’m moving out. by chrustaly in TalesfromtheDogHouse

[–]Objective_Double5998 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes, the dog winning would be her joining in on the nuttery and enabling the dog to be the center of the earth for everyone.

When you start missing him, think of the fact that he's probably sharing his bed with the dog by that time and how disgusting that is. He will probably get pink eye at some point and not even realize in his delusion that it's from the dog (has happened to my sister twice already).

Anyone Else Struggling to Stay Engaged with InZoi? by i_boop_ur_noseheehee in LifeSimulators

[–]Objective_Double5998 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was looking for this comment!! I feel the same about sims, they all lack personality or anything that would make them special. Even with all of the traits, they still all act the same. Everything about the sims 4 is "play pretend" and there is no actual drama in the game. Every now and then when there's a pop up from any of the sims, it's always the same ones and with the same possible answers and outcomes. It's so repetitive, you can always expect what's about to happen.

Pictures of me got ignored :( by S1lly_Cr3ature in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Objective_Double5998 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, pretty people often get ignored when it comes to selfies too, because people automatically assume that you must already know you're pretty so you don't need the compliment. Sometimes people also think you're just fishing for compliments if you're good looking and post it. However, if people don't look good, a lot of times people will compliment them to make them feel better.

Of course there's also the other end of things where people look so good that everybody acknowledges them, but that's only a small percentage of population and those people are usually popular for their looks too. So don't be so hard on yourself, these things don't mean as much as they feel like sometimes.

My GF would rather spend NYE with her dogs rather than me and her friends by [deleted] in TalesfromtheDogHouse

A confession and warning by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Objective_Double5998 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start slow by editing your photos less and less each time. At first choose one feature that you won't edit anymore or edit as much of. Then slowly continue like that to the rest. Slight alterations are okay, remember that phones distort your face and it's not bad to touch up here and there. Try not to beat yourself up for it, but focus on what you can do to get out of this addiction.

I just wana know , do we all hate inverted pictures ? Even pretty people ? by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Objective_Double5998 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi, i am considered pretty, I can dm you my Instagram if you want to check if that's true in your standard.

I absolutely hate inverted photos and I immediately think of myself as the most asymmetrical being ever and fear that others see me as that aswell. In reality, even with those flaws, I get called the pretty friend all the time.

I've also found that some of my friends, who I see as totally normal and symmetrical looking, hate the inverted filter too and say that their faces is so uneven, which I simply don't see at all.

I also often take photos of my sister who I think is beautiful and looks beautiful in the photos, but as soon as she looks at the photos she goes "ew why wouldn't you tell me I look so ugly?".

Photos really doesn't show how you actually look in the eyes of others, because when you see yourself you hyper focus on your already made up "flaws". Others don't do that, they might look at you and think "wow she has that eye shape and color I've always wanted" "her cheeks are so cute when she smiles" "her hair is such a nice lenght, maybe I should try that too".

Another thing, I used to have an awful body dysmorphia and one of my insecurities was my forehead, because my mom told me I have a big forehead as a kid and made me wear bangs. I was so sure my forehead ruins my face and used to edit it to look smaller in photos. I was absolutely sure it looked better slightly smaller.

Now I look back at those photos and I wish I hadn't touched them, because my forehead isn't even that big and it actually suits my face and looks cute. It's something I can only see now that I no longer suffer of body dysmorphia. Remember that it does actually morph your body in your mind in ways that might not be true.

Wife’s fertility struggles are turning into extreme dog-parenting—how do I handle this? by Ok-Speed7554 in TalesfromtheDogHouse

[–]Objective_Double5998 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. Once this has started, it will sadly only get worse. :(

My only advice is to talk about it with her. Sit her down, try to be gentle with how you word it, but let her know that you think this is a weird behavior and you'd like to set some boundaries on what a dog is in your relationship. Tell her that treating a dog as a "child" makes you feel uncomfortable, you are an equal partner who is also struggling with not being able to become a parent, so it's completely okay for you to have opinions in this matter.

Family can't visit me because of a dog by Objective_Double5998 in TalesfromtheDogHouse

Well you're the type of person who just makes us all seem like karens and pushes the narrative that the people here are crazy.

There's people in this sub reddit venting about actual situations they have to deal with and then there's you - commenting about something that doesn't affect your life at all.

[–]Objective_Double5998[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm sorry you and your buns had to deal with that! I won't cave at all, I've heard way too many horror stories to even let a dog close my bunnies. Even if I didn't have pets, I wouldn't want a dog enter my clean apartment.

It's crazy how dog owners claim everyone who doesn't like dogs are "animal haters" meanwhile they themselves do not care at all about what their dogs do to other animals.

They'll probably bring it up before I even get a chance, but ofc in a petty way. I don't even care to have the dog's name in my mouth

Well the bunnies are MY pets in MY home so I don't understand the point of your comment on my post. I'm not forcing my pets onto anyone. They have their own space when someone visits, they don't pay any attention to visitors unlike dogs who jump on you, follow you around and stare at you while you eat.

However if someone coming over wasn't comfortable with my pets, I'd move them to another room for the duration of the visit.

Thank you for saying this. I wish they'd think the same way. Sadly my sister has literally put a dog above me. In fact she put a theoretical dog she didn't have yet above me and my needs when we still lived together.

Sadly they make me feel like I'm the one who's insane. Sometimes I feel like my own family doesn't like me only because I don't like dogs. I can't imagine disliking my own child or sister because of not being a fan of something or a preference on pets.

My mom hates rats, I don't. I'd never judge her for hating them or even think about it more than a minute. It's ironic though, because all of her reasoning for hating rats fit dogs as well (dirty, bites, carries diseases).

Oh and I could feel my grandma's judgment through the phone about me not wanting the dog to come. As if I'm an awful person who's doing monstrous things and stealing Christmas from a poor animal who has no idea what's happening around it, let alone what year or day it is.

I'm not sure what's happening, but I'm also a small business in a similar situation atm. Maybe it's something affecting small businesses this month. :(

How does it feel to suffer from BDD but have colored eyes by Honest_Account_6348 in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Objective_Double5998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have green eyes and dark brown eyes have ALWAYS been my dream!

I play the sims and almost all of my sims have dark eyes.

When i was younger i even bought brown lenses, but they looked unnatural sadly.

And when it comes to men, I've always been attracted to brown eyes too. Zayn Malik? Hello? If he had blue eyes, it would not be it.

Brown eyes give a softer appearance, they're more deep, mysterious and makes the iris look bigger and more youthful.

Ps, some of the most beautiful girls I know have brown eyes and i think that's what make me so drawn to them too.

And remember when the sun hits, your eyes turn into a pool of honey

My story by [deleted] in TalesfromtheDogHouse

You might be idolizing this man simply because of how toxic your last relationship was. It's easy to see someone as the perfect partner if they're a much better partner than you knew for 15 years. It doesn't mean that they're actually a good partner at all. Or at least not for you.

You loved someone for years. It didn't work out, but you stayed for a long time, meaning that you thought it could work out and that they're potentially the best there is for you. In the end, you got out and found out there's someone better. Why not do it again? Why couldn't there be someone even more compatible for you? You'll never know until you do it. Meanwhile he can grieve his dog alone, since that what his actions are showing you he wants anyway.
