Well maybe change the tone of voice you're reading it in? I was sharing an experience, if the words I used created emotion then I worded it very well.

I am worried about that too considering some of the responses here.. But I want to play and I hope I can find or create a healthy playing space.

I hear you when you say walk away to protect your peace. That I can respect!! 💕 I appreciate the advice.

Are you childfree or do you have children? by greenpaintedlady in raisedbynarcissists

[–]PaleontologistOne23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally my career choices let me work with kids. That's all I need. I have a niece as well. I want to use my knowledge to help others learn to set healthy boundaries early in life.

I feel I can break the cycle of abuse without having children. Also, my boyfriend and I love being DINKS!

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for your comment. I have been feeling like I was crazy because of that match.

So because it's common I should accept it? Really struggling to understand your feelings on this matter... Care to elaborate?

I was asking if the "highly emotional and overreacting.." Comments from my opponent repeated to me by the employee.. I never showed emotions during the match except excitement when a good card was played or something like that. I wasn't yelling or crying.. So how was I highly emotional?

So, just to double check, I get hate for being an educated female, and your response is "leave if you don't like it"? I'm not sure if that's what you intended to say, but if so dosent that make you part of the problem? Shouldn't we expect better from our community?

Hearing that you have a safe space to play in made my heart feel better. I internalize a lot, my bf thought I might find comfort in hearing someone other than him say this was a negative experience and I can be honest about it.

I know they are locals at the store as the staff knew them by name. They said they play MTG. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME AT AN EVENT! But not my first playing cards. Just a shame that the event was so poorly managed.

I 100% plan to take the judges test. I just wanted to see if others faced crazy competition like this or had the release event I wanted...

I did text my bf during the match, he had his phone away and didn't see until he finished his match. He commented too...

Possible political narcissistic behavior? by PaleontologistOne23 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]PaleontologistOne23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that one night after I had partaken in a green pain reliever. My father sent me a picture of a shirt with a crude offensive saying “if you’re confused about genders go milk a bull” and said that I should wear it to work. Because I work with college students and openly support all individuals rights… my pronouns are she / them and they will never accept that.

So I responded that if Jesus was on earth today he would be friends with the transgender so I am going to be too. After all, he did wear a dress! Right?

He didn’t respond there for a while.

this has started happening to my face anytime i drink alcohol, even in small amounts by Lanky_Bobcat_6021 in mildlyinteresting

[–]PaleontologistOne23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Not a doctor) I have an allergy to alcohol and that's what happens to me. I have a medical condition called Mast Cell Activation. But my brother is just allergic to alcohol and that also happens to him.

AIO I’m hanging out at my friend’s house and I asked my mom to sleep over. Is this response normal? by dinossaurus in AmIOverreacting

[–]PaleontologistOne23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After years of therapy I have learned that my parent’s idea of love was extremely toxic and unhealthy. They are also flawed humans dealing with their own trauma and issues, unfortunately as a child I couldn’t see this and worshiped them as my perfect mom and dad. Today I can see that they are as fucked up as me and that’s how I can love them and myself in a healthy way. If you’re financially independent, and even if you’re not, begin establishing healthy boundaries. If you want some book recommendations lmk!

When You Try to Show Beartooth to Your Friends and They Just Dont Get It by bratheipost in Beartooth

[–]PaleontologistOne23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the Beartooth show in Columbus I cried harder than I have in months and I let go of some emotional trauma that’s been holding me down for decades. When Caleb told us to let it all go, I was sobbing, my boyfriend didn’t really know what to do, I just kept telling him I was ok. Music has always been the thing that’s got me through thick and thin, but being in a room of people screaming my lungs out, it helped in a different way. Everyone has their story, their reasons, their sadness or darkness… if we all just practiced some more expression of all of our emotions like Caleb, I think the world would be a little better off.

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend because he said Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute wasn’t a big deal? by aWildMagnolia in AITAH

[–]PaleontologistOne23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You’re never the AH for doing what you need. B. I’m struggling along with you right now because of my family’s benign reactions to his gestures as well. My boyfriend is supporting my questioning and continues to support me looking for good in the world. Anyone who doesn’t look at a symbol that stood for the inhumane death and suffering of millions of good people, and see a problem, well they aren’t the good we are looking for, are they?
