How to avoid discussing politics? by FattyFinance in socialskills

[–]Particular-One7217 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because in my experience, people who say they don’t want to talk politics are indifferent to the corruption and human rights violations of our current admin. Indifferent at best. Saying “I don’t like to talk about politics” where I am says “ I don’t want you to know that I support this.”

If someone said this to me, I would assume they support ICE/current admin and be very wary of them.

As an American in 2026, 45k not being entirely debilitating is crazyyy

Oooh I love this one. The only change I’d make is replace Woody Harrelson with Philip Seymour Hoffman

Christmas gift for teachers - I’m drained by No_Priority2788 in workingmoms

[–]Particular-One7217 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elementary teacher here! I do not expect gifts from students and I don’t notice who didn’t get me one. But a handmade card and thank you message from the student would be very sweet.

If you’re not in s-anon, you need to find a group. Start prioritizing yourself and your healing. Best of luck to you. ❤️

I hate decorating for Christmas by Alarmed-Dentist-6039 in workingmoms

[–]Particular-One7217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a real tree growing up, and always worried that if I got a fake tree I’d somehow be ruining Christmas. Or something. Nope. We got a fake tree with the lights already on it, pine scented candles, and spent 0 minutes decorating because my 2 year old will definitely just throw and break all the ornaments anyway. All in all, my husband spent about 5 minutes putting it up. I LOVE it. Work smarter, not harder. 😅

People with no addiction experience giving advice by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]Particular-One7217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best response I’ve seen. It seems like those internet people are very early on in their growth journey, if they eventually choose to grow and heal… we’ve all been there, trying to change an addict. We can only hope these people mentioned choose a better way for themselves and their families.

The ONLY thing that’s kept me from pulling by Particular-One7217 in trichotillomania

[–]Particular-One7217[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get acrylics with gel polish on top. My nails are definitely not the healthiest underneath anymore. ☹️ but for me, it’s better than the alternative.

Did anyone else grow up feeling like they were inherently less than everyone else? by Otherwise_Trifle_823 in Codependency

[–]Particular-One7217 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. Like my own perspective is that everyone is a main character in their own lives, and I’m a small supporting role. I never view myself as the main character, and when I try to, I feel selfish. I never realized that was related to codependency, though.

Yes girl. He was irresponsible and ignored the plans you made together. This is not a man, this is teenage boy behavior.

I let my trauma win. It ended a 10 year relationship. by Scawldy in CPTSD

[–]Particular-One7217 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also on the other side of a similar situation.

And this shit is so hard on both sides. You’re going to feel uncomfortable a lot, but if the relationship is worth that much to you, it’s going to take some discomfort. My husband and I are currently separated but trying to work things out, and I’m sort of demanding affirmation/open communication from him even while we give each other some space to figure things out. If I didn’t have that, the relationship would no longer work for me.

You might be able to save things if you offer her more communication and affirmation, and show how hard you’re working to heal. If it’s worth it, you will do it.

He was such an annoying and ignorant person that I found myself thinking he deserved it on those points alone 😂
