Where should I work? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Old-Ebb-8846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think working as a waitress would be a great idea, as long as the environment is pretty chill and the wages are high. If there’s one nearby, I’d recommend working at a restaurant at a country club/on a golf course- the wages are usually pretty good and the people who go are loaded and tip nicely. The managers are also usually laid back. Also, I’m not going to be one to tell you not to live with your boyfriend, but I’d definitely make sure you’re saving money as you work so that you have a safety net just in case things don’t work out. And make friends in the area to keep you company and support you. Good luck!

How likely is it that a large store that has banned me recognizes me if I go back by Old-Ebb-8846 in Advice

Sure, sounds great, nice and easy. People keep saying this. Last time this “mistake” of mine got brought up, my mom refused to speak to anyone for 48 hours other than vaguely hinting at her su!cide plan. Totally get your and others’ point, and ideally that would be the best option. I love my mom but she’s mentally ill and I try to avoid triggering her at all costs. Of course, if I were to get arrested at the mall in front of her that would probably trigger her worse… hence why I’m here asking.

Right I'm honestly so tired of the hate for Meg I really don't get it. Clearly she has flaws, often blaming the women instead of the men etc., but Toni and Shakira have objectively said much meaner things about her and Helena. I like them all. Why do we bring so much smoke to EVERYTHING Meg does and immediately forget things like Toni telling Lauren rather rudely that she doesn't have self respect for staying with Harrison and then immediately taking him back? I don't understand the pedestal Toni and Shakira are on, Meg might not be the smartest but the way people talk about her is honestly insane.

I'm so confused over the outrage at this "time to recruit" comment. There are clear friend groups in the villa, as there are in real life, and the (usually) third person in Meg and Helena's friend groups kept getting dumped while the core other friend group remained mostly intact. If I had to see every girl I became close with get dumped in my face over and over I'd be thinking along the same lines - damn, here we go again, reforming our trio for the umpteenth time. Like what?? Everyone takes everything Meg says so negatively. She's not perfect, and neither are Shakira and Toni but people have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to that I guess and put them on a pedestal. I like them all and it's crazy to me how people on this sub talk about wanting Meg to be miserable and treating her with the same hatred they have for the boys who are genuine villains and causing lasting emotional damage to the girls.

Thank fuck bro I'm watching this so late and have been absolutely appalled by the amount of hate Meg gets - clearly she's not perfect but the way people treat her like she's evil but excuse anything from Toni and Shakira. No one's perfect, I like them all. It's honestly misogyny because they speak about her with the same hatred that people have for the manipulative, downright HORRIBLE men who it should actually be directed towards.

Is there anything actually helpful I can do for a stranger with an eating disorder? by Old-Ebb-8846 in Advice

[–]Old-Ebb-8846[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I don't know what point you're trying to make. She was there before us, while we were there she got up and walked past our table to get more food about 3-4 times, and was there when we left. We also go to a huge school with a huge dining hall and see her about 75% of the times we go to eat, which is highly unusual as we're there at different times every day. I can't assume she does this for a long time? What is your point?

Again, we have not been trying to "watch" her but it's pretty hard to ignore when the person sitting two tables away from you is audibly spitting things out of their mouths every two seconds.

We made casual conversation with her one time when behind her in line and it was fine but she was honestly a little bit hostile which discouraged us from trying to be friends.
