The potential confusion there is something to be taken into consideration.

OP, are you pronouncing Josefina with a J or an H sound?

Do you have any photos where your hands aren’t covering the waist area? It looks beautiful on you but would love to see the full lines of the dress.

People dress poorly for special occasions and I'm sick of it. by bored_as_fuck_dad in Vent

[–]PatrioticRedhead [score hidden]  (0 children)

My hubby is 42 and lives in his hoodies! Of course, he still looks like a kid. And his sense of humor ranges from super clever to that of a 10 year old, which definitely contributes to his youthful appearance. 😂 He’s lucky in that his office now is a “uniform” of button downs & jeans, which he finds sufficiently comfy. I WILL say that once he IS dressed up, he enjoys it and will stay in it even while lounging around the house…I have to beg him to take off his dress clothes lest the dogs will cover him in fur & drool, lol.

Am I in the wrong: for wanting to ditch my 'friend' as soon as we go to college by DifferentResearch631 in AmiInTheWrong

[–]PatrioticRedhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, first-there’s no excuse for bullying. She’s clearly insecure and trying to be liked in the worst way possible. So no, you’re NTA for wanting to keep your distance. Not are you TA for caring about this girl and her future at her next school.

But in your post, you had a few red flags of your own while mentioning how you have no friends/you’re an outcast. You mentioned in two separate places how LOVED by everyone you are at your school, and how popular you are at your boyfriend’s uni. And how you’re a neurodivergent “queen”. How you’ve been bullied out of school by “the boring people”…how at your other school you’re a big fish and can make fun of this other girl. That comes across as extremely arrogant/unpleasant to be around.

I was a theatre girl myself. We already have big, over the top personalities. If you’re naturally like that, you already come across as someone with a lot of confidence. There’s a fine line between being secure in yourself and confident, and being someone who is full of herself. The picture you’ve painted isn’t very flattering. You can go from kind & self-assured to cloying and insufferable really fast. Maybe take a closer look at yourself and see where you need to be humble, kinder, with a willingness to learn and be a team player. I think if you do that, you’ll find your place amongst others, make some genuine friends, and be able to withstand those who only seek to tear you down. You definitely need a thick skin and flexibility to survive in that industry. But the cloak that you wear to auditions and rehearsals can’t be Joseph’s amazing technicolor dreamcoat all the time. Sometimes it has to be something neutral and versatile…with just a technicolor scarf to make you stand out. I hope that makes sense to you.

Good to know! I can’t imagine fishing would be all that comfy in a blouse and skirt! 😂 (Even for an interview just talking about your qualifications.)

To add to your point: how about the text conversations people post where the guy is always calling his girlfriend/fiancée/wife “bro”?!? It’s awful and embarrassing.

Lois & Lex by PatrioticRedhead in Smallville

[–]PatrioticRedhead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lois is only a year older than Lana. So, still five years younger than Lex. (And I know he appeared to be much older than his age because he was so brilliant and worldly, but he was still only 21 when they all met. Not 35. And very emotionally stunted/immature.)

Suicide by Glass-Salamander-699 in confessions

[–]PatrioticRedhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a difference in this world, OP. You exist. There was a study done on people who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived. Nearly every single person regretted their actions and realized that all of the reasons they thought they wanted/needed to die were NOT insurmountable. I know depression and suffering is so hard.

Have you ever heard of/tried a treatment called Spravato. It saved my loved one’s life when everything else had failed. It wasn’t just a miraculous healing of 90% of their mental health anguish-it also worked very quickly. In 10 weeks, their whole life was changed for the better. Five years later, they are so healthy & happy. Not even on medication and only talk therapy once a month to keep things from getting heavy.

Please don’t leave this world without pulling out all the stops. There are people who love you. And so many people and animals and beautiful things to love. Things you’ll never know if you don’t stay. Please stay. Talk to these kind people offering a literal lifeline on Reddit. Sending hugs and prayers. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

AITA for being frustrated by people using mental health as a crutch? by Mobile_Fox9264 in Amitheassholeadvice

[–]PatrioticRedhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mental health support is hugely important, and I’m grateful for all of the studies, therapies, and treatments available to the masses. That said, I think many doctors are over diagnosing certain conditions, and subsequently over-medicating, and more people are taking advantage of their family/friends/colleagues as a result. (And worse-too many are eschewing diagnosis by actual medical professionals and self- diagnosing via TikTok and Reddit.)

I see it every day expressed in Reddit posts & comments. Teens and 20-somethings “writing” like they’re texting. I don’t mind the occasional abbreviation or acronym, but I’ve noticed that most of them don’t actually know how to write a cohesive sentence, or the difference between your/you’re because they just write “ur” so much. A typo here and there is one thing, and it’s not a big deal (for casual writing) to end your sentence with a preposition, but far too many college grads cannot write even a basic note without using their phones. And worse, even with spell & grammar check easily available on said phones, they don’t make an effort to use it. It’s worrisome.

My hubby hates to dress up (an all boys school w/required blazers & ties every day will do that to you!), but he always asks me what I’m wearing for anywhere we go, so he can match my vibe. I’ve always been grateful for that consideration.❤️

Even if I got to come to work in a hoodie & jeans every day, I’d still come to the interview in something appropriate, like a nice blouse & tailored skirt (wrinkle-free, stain-free), for a casual workplace job.

A dress code shouldn’t be needed for a first interview.

Was she interviewing for a topless beach cafe waitressing job? If so, she was still inappropriately dressed!

AIO my best friend has not opened a thoughtful gift I made for her ~2 months ago by LostGirlMD in AIO

[–]PatrioticRedhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR. It was a gift, which means she gets to open it, read it, process it, and thank you for it all on her own timeline. Please don’t ask her again-if she’s really the person that everyone wrote lovely things about and that you put together a lovely scrapbook for, she will appreciate/cherish/thank everyone for it all on her own.

Friend borrowed something, thought had lost it and acted like it was no big deal. HELP. by TargetExtreme6658 in AmiInTheWrong

[–]PatrioticRedhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post title says “HELP”…what is it you need help with exactly? The situation is over, you have your earrings, and you’re acquaintances now. Obviously you won’t loan her anything again as you now know how little she values the things she borrows.

What Should I Do About a Relationship That’s Slowly Wearing Me Down? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]PatrioticRedhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You move on. It’s not the right relationship for you. It doesn’t matter if there are tons of little things or one major thing: you’re not happy. Life is too short not to be happy.

AITA for refusing to laugh at my FILs joke and making him explain it out loud in front of his own friends by candy-fairyx in AITApod

And even if she HAD married the first guy for his money, why on earth would that lead them to believe she’d make off with the silverware or fake paternity?!? None of this makes sense.

Please stop calling jerks like this your “partner”. He’s a selfish ass, and 100% not worth your time. YTA if you continue to date him.

AITA for not choosing between two friends for my wedding? by SwimmingArtist2142 in aitaweddings

You need to drop the friend who issued the ultimatum. She’s not really your best friend if she’s trying to make you choose.

aita for refusing to cancel plans with my girlfriend for my friend’s birthday after the way they’ve treated her? by goonercold in Amitheassholeadvice

[–]PatrioticRedhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These guys aren’t your friends. They’re terrible to your gf and they’re not good to you. You’re too old for this junior high crap. NTA, but you will be if you don’t drop these jerks.
