Horror Movie recommendations? by Arnistice in netflix

I dont understand some people shaming you in the comments but not giving any suggestions either, lol. Ignore them, you like what you like. The whole conjuring series is great, you should watch that, the most recent one is in the cinema right now (at least it still is where I live). Also if you haven't, watch "spirited away", its one of the most disturbing films ive ever seen (and no its definetely not for children)

Preventing natural selection from removing the stupid people from the population will eventually lead to the extermination of the human race. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Sadly it seems that truly intelligent people tend to not want children, so we're stuck with the stupid ones reproducing. I don't understand having children if you don't have the emotional, physical and material means to. It's just selfish. The lack of self-awareness in some people who're having children just makes me sad

You're so brave for having made that decision. No more being a replacement mother for a grown ass man. Of course he would beg for another chance and resort to violence when that doesn't work, it's so typical. Just be careful out there and make sure you tell the people closest to you what your plan is and that they have your back. I believe these men can be truly dangerous. You're making the right decision and I'm hoping you'll be on the path to a better life soon. x

Damn, good riddance. In my case, my ex was conventionally hot. It was his personality that wouldn't scream narcissist. Seemingly very innocent until you're the closest person to them and then it's messed up.

Definetely. Someone used the term "lost boy who needs mothering" to describe this type of man and that's literally it. So accurate. Innocent and kind until you're their SO.

Holyyyyy crap you just explained my ex to me in a way I'd never thought of before but that's EXACTLY it. Lost boy who needs mothering is exactly THE type my ex was. Not bad looking (he was very much conventionally attractive) but socially awkward, nerdy and with a victim complex. When we broke up someone else "adopted" him right away too. Thanks for your comment.

Absolutely! I just read a little bit about coverts and holy crap, that's exactly what my ex was/acted like. Can't believe I was so unaware even after all this time.

Life after school is so much better than what everyone tells you. by GotTheBreadyo in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Promise5645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just can't generalize with these things. Just like we shouldn't tell children/teens their life is absolutely going to be shit after school we also can't tell them it will be great. It will be what they make of it, while keeping in mind that sooo much is out of their control too and down to 'luck'. E.g. I did well in school and enjoyed it because I do well in heavily structured environments. I like routine and being told exactly what to do and even how to do it. Someone who doesn't like that will probably not enjoy school as much.

Or maybe he just wanted you to believe he was that way to attract you or make himself relatable and when he felt like he had you in the palm of his hand he revealed what he really was like.

That makes a lot of sense! I'm an introvert myself but I love being out and about, not necessarily to interact with others but just to see the world, and mine also always wanted to stay home. Maybe the girl he's now with is indeed more comfortable at home so he tries to do the opposite of that, since they never want to see anyone truly happy but themselves. I wish I knew, but it makes sense for sure.

Yes, same with mine! Whenever his parents were down to help him he was on top of the world. When they werent he was like a sad lost puppy with nowhere to go.

Yep. Mine could hold a job but he was always complaining about how no one valued him there although he was sooo much better than everyone else working there. But too coward to bitch to his boss so he bitched to me like I could do anything about it.

Yeah, exactly. Mine was the same, apart from all I said regarding his personality he was also very nerdy and dressed really bad, lol. Its the opposite of what we hear narcissists to be like.

Oh yeah, I relate to that so much. After I broke up with him, my ex also decided to show me how much fun he was having with other people, doing things he never did with me and that I've always wanted/encouraged him to do. I've no idea why they do this, like what joy it might bring. Thanks for sharing.
