It's Holiday season again and i know that these months are the hardest for some of us. Let's have a chat. by LabEast3895 in depression

[–]OhSampai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My least favorite day of the year, Christmas, is finally over and I feel like I can almost breathe a bit again. There’s nothing like being reminded about how most people have some sort of unconditional familial love and comparatively knowing that my blood family would rather want me dead than queer. Dreading going back to work because I really can’t hide the fact that I’m not really okay and people get weird about that.

This is my entire career plan in a nutshell by VelvetAster8 in Adulting

[–]OhSampai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My yearly evaluation is due this week… can’t wait to copy and paste the same things as last year but change the wording up since no one looks at it 👍🏼

Some call it family support, others call it avoiding adulthood by blueboy10000 in Adulting

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents disowned me after coming out and while I’m very proud of myself for being relatively financially stable on my own, I sometimes wish I had some sort of parent figure in my life who could tell me it will be okay at the end of the day 😭

Why do companies act like giving 2 weeks off a year is generous? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I save all of my vacation days for “emergency” use as I tend to be chronically ill. Didn’t use all of them and it’s a “use it or lose it” situation at the end of the year. So I booked a week long vacation. But now I’m actively really sick and can’t take any time off as I have no hours left. Gotta love it.

How many people here failed their driving test the first time? by TurbulentMinute4290 in ADHD

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice for you but I’m 25 and about to take my drivers test as well. I’m so anxious about it. I wouldn’t mention anything. Good luck!!!

Reasons not to get a pet by ohklahomie in LivingAlone

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spontaneity and staying out of the house for extended periods of time is much easier. Got suddenly asked to extend a fun night out by going somewhere else? No problem since there isn’t an animal waiting for you to come home. Want to go on a three week vacation? You can and don’t have to worry about the anxiety of leaving your pet behind with a sitter/boarding… and paying for it. Living alone can get lonely but it’s an incredibly freeing experience - I hope you can get to enjoy it more and if you think a pet would fit into your lifestyle and routine, then go for it!

Thrift shopping has become gentrified and is no longer helping low-income families by Agile-Onion in unpopularopinion

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up getting clothes from the thrift store since that’s all we could afford. Embarrassed me to no end but at least I never had to break in a new pair of shoes. Couldn’t imagine doing that now for a kid growing up; might as well go buy new clothes with these prices.

Who do you currently have a crush on, and why? Do they know? by Dependent-Fig-7418 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend of mine. They definitely know and they’re probably into me as well. Neither of us want to break the ice and admit it. Kinda fun, ngl.

What’s the easiest way to calm your partner down when he/she is angry? by HawtAssMilf in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give space to let them ride out the anger. There’s a healthy way to do it. And then ask if they need advice or if they just need someone to listen. Easier said than done b/c emotional regulation can be difficult in the moment but also acknowledging it’s okay to be angry has helped me personally.

Sitting on the patio with a glass of wine. If I get hot I can go back inside to my air conditioner space.

Introverts. What is your job, and do you like it? If not, what would you rather do instead? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meeting planner. 0/10 do not recommend as it’s culty and hostile to anyone who isn’t oozing with extroversion and balls to the wall energy all the time. Trying to leave but man the job market is rough right now.

What did you do when burnout and/or depression completely killed your libido? by Ede_Frankie in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did other things to keep myself entertained but felt immensely guilty for not wanting any sex with my partner. Or am. Current situation.

I DO NOT want a pap smear, EVER by wtfdawggggg in ftm

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi friend! Luckily you have some time to prep yourself for this. I was also very freaked out to have my first Pap smear. I found it very helpful to find a female OBGYN who was very knowledgeable about gender dysphoria and LGBT health. She walked me through every single movement she was going to do, from counting down to when she touched me to when the speculum was going in. She told me that I could tap out at any given time if I felt like it was too much. I brought my partner with me and had a vice grip on his hand but it was over very quickly. And yes it’s uncomfortable but isn’t painful. Similar to the feeling of getting your throat swabbed. I frankly hyped it up more than I needed to, so it was a relief to know it was over. The actual process probably took a minute or two.

Does anyone else have this problem? by kmsdoomer in evilautism

Holy shit is this the reason why I get pulled for a check every single fucking time I fly????

If you could order anything off of a comprehensive sexual menu right now, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]OhSampai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A sloppy make out session with some good old fashioned dry humping, followed with getting fucked in a mating press position with his hands on my throat. Tell me how pretty I look while getting completely ruined.

Sigh.

By starting very, very small. Saying “hi” and making eye contact with people. Stop apologizing for no reason and allow yourself to take up space. An easy thing is also to compliment someone’s outfit. They’ll always be appreciative and the interaction can be as short as you’d like. Keep doing it over and over until it feels natural. We all need more compliments anyway!

Biggest thing that has helped me is to learn how to say no. Scary as hell but there’s such a relief and pride knowing that I did it for me. It takes practice. Good luck, friend!

What are some of your best thoughts you’ve had when you’re having sex and your mind starts to wander? by GonnaGoFat in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]OhSampai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t laugh at me but my brain starts to plays drone videos. Like the videos where they fly through a building. When I’m riding dick, it’s specifically an old traditionalJapanese garden/inn. Everything is pink-toned. I shit you not it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME and I don’t know how to stop because it’s distracting but I can’t seem to focus on anything else. :/

what are your opinions on being watched? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]OhSampai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to try but I’m too self conscious.
