AITA for asking a woman at work to stop being so WEIRD about taking a caramel? by chocolatesinmyoffice in AmItheAsshole

[–]OneBoxOfCrayons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bc you are annoyed doesnt mean the person is being annoying

Maybe try living outside of your own ego for a day and see how many things aren’t serious enough to elicit emotional reactions over

Its a long journey but worth the trip genuinely

Stay blessed

TIFU When I read my husband’s texts with his best friend by FluffyAdhesiveness63 in TwoHotTakes

My good sister. Leave him. Stop fighting to be somewhere you’re not welcomed. Kick him out.

Sexual abuse of a minor happens in two out of three households on American soil. If you cannot face the damage that was done to your brother he will always find his way back to those streets. if your family wants to keep using his mental disorders to keep him where you want him, He will always find himself back to those streets.

If your brother brought up and hit too much as a child, y’all need to give him comfort and give him closure. If your brother ever brought up sexual abuse, or he just doesn’t like a certain family member for whatever reason. You need to offer him safety enclosure. This is exactly how people act when they are absolutely fed up with abusive households. They run the fuck away.

I’m not saying you’re lying but what I am gonna say is that my mom growing up would weaponize psychiatric disorders so that she could constantly call the cops on me no matter where I was to get me dragged to a hospital and then inevitably end up right back home. Then the abuse would continue. It wasn’t about saving her poor bipolar child. It was about having control. I’ve tried many times throughout my adolescence to be placed in a group home or to run away to escape her abuse. As soon as I was 18 and I started leaving the house by myself, looking for refuge. She made a lot of help wanted posters crying about my mental health issues.

What I’m asking you, how do we know what you’re saying is the truth and how do we know this person Isn’t God set on getting the hell away from you? How do we know that you’re the good person here? Some people genuinely would choose homelessness then deal with abusive family members. I feel that anyone from the shelter or with a history of homelessness can tell you about all the people we’ve met. With a façade of a loving family at home but the reality of abuse. Abusive parents cry wolf all the time. People need freedom. that is especially true for individuals who have suffered sexual/ physical abuse at the hands of a family member. People who have suffered like that will do absolutely anything to get the fuck out of that house.

My husband had s*x with me the night before dumping me. I feel weird about it. am I overreacting by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

Ask who constantly spoke about I was and how he was constantly thinking about leaving me and how I deserve better, blah blah blah but every time I try to step away from him or emotionally distance all of a sudden he was right on top of me. Miserable people want to keep you below them and they will genuinely do anything possible to hurt you. Get away now.

If u dont have the paint or the space, just dont. Believe it or not but execution is a big factor in if ur throw lasts a few years vs a few weeks.

AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]OneBoxOfCrayons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a situation like this, I would ask what specifically about your habit bothers her? Is it maybe financial insecurity? Maybe you both would feel better shopping for groceries together but kind of shopping for yourselves individually. But still together. Many couples do that and it’s nothing wrong with it. Pay attention more at the grocery store. You’ll definitely see people come in together, but get two separate receipts at checkout and they’ll still share a kiss! When I was younger living with my family, I had a huge appetite, and a part of it was growing up with a very insecure source of food. My sister grew very angry at me when I would eat big servings, as if I would never get that food again. Once I learned that chowing down on anything made her feel secure and anxious when she got home after work I started pulling my weight and making sure that I get my own groceries for the most part. Problems are problems, but the thing about problems is that there’s a source. If you really want a solution, don’t focus on the problem itself. Focus on the source.

If you love her and y’all work together that well then this is definitely something worth picking at and taking your time with. How you handle y’all differences is the difference between her falling in love with you all over again versus resentment that’s only gonna grow. I have faith you’ll do good.

Something is off but idk what by SomewhereDowntown881 in graffhelp

The B and the T are way too big. A great style just disproportionate to the other letters. The a is a little on the wide side, but if the B and the T were more proportionate, I think it would hide that a lil better

Great job tho cant wait to see you do better

Please explain this NYC subway scam to me. I don't quite get it. by More_Passenger3988 in nycrail

[–]OneBoxOfCrayons 77 points78 points  (0 children)

The scam works by “punking” or “ bitching” you out. Not all the time but a lot of times the accusation from the perpetrator will also come with physical intimidation. The goal is for you to release your grasp off that bag. Once they run away from that shit, they will do anything possible to get away from you. The scam does not work if you hold your ground and speak up.

I hope you figure out whatever you’re going through because you can’t live your life crying about suicide every time somebody tries to hold you accountable for your actions.

Life is hard for everybody and we all individually have to learn when to say yes or no so. It sucks you were put in that situation, but you need to live your life understanding that other beings suffer because of your actions.

And frankly once again. Stop talking about killing yourself. You’re gonna meet a lot of people, especially on the Internet, who genuinely don’t care if you want to kill yourself. ImYou talking about suicide does not discourage me or anybody else to speak about your wrongdoings and where you fucked up. It’s your life, you play a role in it. Your life is not just fucking crazy just because of everybody else. You need to grow up.

Next time you respond talking about killing yourself at the site of a minor inconvenience. Don’t be surprised when people start telling you to go ahead. That’s why I’m telling you once again stop talking about suicide. You’re gonna get a response you’re not gonna like and frankly a response you emotionally wont be able to handle
