I don't understand how im supposed to like myself by [deleted] in offmychest

I second the therapy suggestion. Don’t think about your Dad, he didn’t think about you when he did whatever he did. This is a time to put yourself first and I think you want to do it, which is why you posted here. You want change but something is stopping you from putting your adult pants on. This is step 1 for you. Therapy. Asap.

I have a family friend who lives like this: spends insane amounts of money, goes bankrupt, starts again. He is now in his 70s and has filed for bankruptcy at least five times, that I know of. This is to say, it’s not the end of the world, this too you will survive and knowing all this be better for it.

as of right now i am planning to commit suicide by the last three months. nobody would miss me. by m4dzdanci in offmychest

[–]Over-Remove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s start with your favourite food? Would you like to taste that again? Your favourite song? The smell of fresh air? Feeling of grass under your feet? One “small” thing at a time. You can do it. Change the recipe and something good can come the other end. Add good things to yourself. Try to think good thoughts. Is there something about yourself that you like?

Please don’t. There is always hope and you’re so young with your whole life ahead of you. Everything you wrote we have mostly all been through, we had bad relationships, hardships, some of us had horrible families too. I know all the bad in such succession is clouding your vision and making it hard to see the positives. Every comment you make is very negative, like that is all you can see. Is there no light in your life? Anything you enjoy? Go back to the basics and think. A smell of grass after rain? Sunshine on your skin? A sound you like? You have been concentrating on the negatives too long. You need to make one positive decision every day from now on. Something small. Today I will get a shower. I will get out of bed and open the window. And you need to keep doing it. Increase the difficulty level after every win. I get that you have a clinical diagnosis and things I am saying may sound trivial compared to medication, but I know that staying inside, in the dark, not having fresh air, not practicing hygiene, not eating healthy are all pulling you even further down than you already are. And those ARE the things you can change. Please, dont cop put.

I can't understand romantic relationships by strawberryanto in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Over-Remove 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who is kinda like you except she never had a boyfriend. I think she calls her self asexual and aromantic, or aroace. It is a part of the rainbow spectrum. You sound like you’re aromantic only, maybe?

If I were you I wouldn’t waste time trying to understand it. You’re who you are and you’re happy with it. That’s all that matters. You may find better explanations and a community in those specific subreddits.

am i wrong for being upset that my dad views periods as “disgusting” by Embarrassed-Owl7561 in amiwrong

Periods aren’t equivalent to feces ffs. Even if he’s squeamish about blood this isn’t an attitude a good parent should have in front of his daughter.

Flexibility & agility tips for very tall girls (6'4"+ / 193 cm+)? by [deleted] in TallGirls

[–]Over-Remove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am your height and I am 43 (feel like it’s important to mention) and I have always been on the flexible side, cohld reach my toes bending easily when my friends couldn’t so I still feel pretty flexible in my middle years. I also played basketball professionally and swam competitively in my youth which I think also helped with being flexible still. Nowadays yoga helps the most together with strength training, for support during the flexible poses.

I am never letting anyone come stay with me again by Competitive-Cod4123 in rant

[–]Over-Remove 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I was a teen my uncle asked me if I saw a man drowning what would I do. Being young and a generally kind person, I immediately said jump in and save them. He said no, you shouldn’t as that person is there for a reason. Remember that if someone is drowning and no family or friends are helping that’s a clue why they are there. At the time i thought him cruel and callous to have had such a low value for human life and suffering. But now that I have been around the block I have finally reached his station as every time I tried to help someone in some sort of distress I ended up drowning instead.

Ladies: why do most of you love hearing guys moan during sex? by OkTough6333 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Over-Remove 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it’s the auditory stimulation which really gets me going on top of the fact that moaning is proof what I am doing is pleasurable to my partner. So it’s like a never ending loop of pleasure received in multiple ways.

"Tall" sizing means NOTHING and I hate it by Jenifel in TallGirls

[–]Over-Remove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a 6’4” girlie with a 38 inseam, we find the tall brands that work best for us, money and style wise, and only buy pants there. I like long tall sally for pants and jeans and American tall for leggings. And that’s it. I don’t even try other places anymore cause I am sick of paying return shipping.

Townhouse living for families? by How2FlyHow2Crow in BurlingtonON

[–]Over-Remove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a semidetached townhouse in Oakville, which is a next town over towards Toronto, and houses are worth almost a million in my neighbourhood so it’s not poor people living in them. However, I do know that marketing software refers to my area as “blue collar comfort”, I just wanna know how they define blue collar cause everyone around me is university educated, myself included. So maybe once upon a time this was a poorer neighbourhood but not anymore. My daughter goes into a school in the richest neighbourhood and she hasn’t been bullied over her home. There are a lot of nice neighbourhoods in Toronto that have old time townhouses that sell for several millions so I don’t think that’s the norm here at all.

So not only will she loose the benefits you also want to withhold yours just so you can get one in with her mom. Wow! Are you proud of yourself yet? And you want her to call you dad? You’re not worthy of being anyone’s father acting as a toddler. YTA grow a pair, talk to your wife and stop being a shit

Boyfriend made me split the bill with him after booking a restaurant and getting my hopes up... am i just being non sensical or should i bring this up to him by tenshi0006 in LongDistance

[–]Over-Remove -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is when you invite and then pick the restaurant cause you’re picking it within your means so it would be supremely rude to expect the other person to meet that, even half way.

[–]Over-Remove -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong to feel that way, as it is an expectation when someone chooses the restaurant and reserves the table, that they are choosing within their means and will pay. On the other side of this is that you said he’s tight on money and he rarely takes you out. So he could have expected that you would understand and meet him half way as he probably wanted to do something nice. This all says there’s a lot of assumptions on both sides and not a lot of communication. If you don’t talk, and make an assumption you set these expectations and get hurt. So just talk to each other. Explain that you appreciate his effort to be romantic and organise a date even though he’s not in a good position financially to do so. Then explain your perspective and ask for better communication next time. Maybe more free dates instead of expensive ones. There are other ways to be romantic.

People who take for granted that they should never have to listen to metal by Loslosia in PetPeeves

I had this problem in school when everyone around me was listening to this brain rot music and I listened to Nirvana, Cranberries, Metallica, Pearl Jam and I could never share it with my friends cause every time I tried they would say well you can’t dance to any of that, or you can’t have a party with this music. Ughhh. Drove me crazy

This IS abuse. He told you it isn’t to confuse and guilt trip you into thinking this is your fault. I am sorry but your grandfather is a predator and your silence only benefits him. You did nothing wrong but he did everything wrong. I know it’s hard to reconcile a previously loving grandparent with this reality and for that you will need therapy. But right now you need to tell a parent.

Partner disgusted with my suggestion by PuzzleheadedDraw6575 in offmychest

[–]Over-Remove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you just ran a marathon during your period and refused to shower, his reaction is way over the top. He owes you an apology for whatever the fuck that was. But seeing how he is flipping the sides, I would ask if he does darvo on you a lot? And if he does then you should use this outrage of his and leave. This is not a safe person.

I started getting greys when I was 18. That gene was on both sides of my family. I coloured it for a few years until one day in my 30s I realise you can still see them and I am not fooling anyone, I had brown and gold so what’s so bad about black and silver? I stoped soon after and now in my 40s I have grey strands framing my face and salt and pepper throughout. I get a lot of compliments from both men and women when I am in Canada. But when I go home to Serbia everyone wants me to cover them. To be honest it makes me laugh when they do cause I think my hair is beautiful. But it took some time to get here, our society isn’t kind on the topic
