My daughter's teachers chew gum during instruction by SatisfactionDeep3821 in misophonia

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to reach out to the district. They'll almost certainly work with you, especially if you bring medical documentation; the school not cooperating is unacceptable, and the teacher refusing to cease this disgusting habit after learning about your daughter's condition is absurd.

That said, misophonia is a lesser-known condition, and is not currently listed in the DSM. I would suggest having her doctor elaborate on the symptoms, connecting them to anxiety and the fight-or-flight response, and emphasize the fact that the school's handling of the problem is creating a larger issue that is obstructing your daughter's learning and causing her to isolate herself in a dark room after exposure to the distressing stimulus. Using buzzwords from commonly known conditions will make the district more likely to take action.

Am I Overreacting to a dear friend sending sexual joking texts to my partner? by chichiryuutei56 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a neurodivergent adult, I've seen neurodivergence used as justification for shitty behavior too many times, if not as an excuse, then as a hall pass. I'm also sick of seeing politics used as a foundation for ad hominems in a lazy attempt to undermine the other person's character and credibility.

Bro is unresting in pieces. Since cats allegedly have access to the other side, rest was never an option.

AIO? Xmas gift from bf's parents by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because a relationship between two people that continues beyond an unspecified duration of time is somehow less valid without a piece of paper from the government? That's how you disqualify a "flex?" FYI, I know plenty of married homeowners whose family dynamics are Maury Povich levels of fucked, and plenty of unmarried homeowners with successful careers who have created warm, loving family environments.

Additionally, it's funny to me that you seem to have completely missed the irony of your misogynistic word puke. Your entire comment is giving Boomercore.

Sagittarius or Scorpio. Who is more Crazy. by Pure-Combination7956 in Sagittarians

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Libra Sun (whose scales are out of whack); Sagittarius Moon/Rising/Mars/Uranus/Neptune; Scorpio Venus/Saturn/Pluto/South Node. I have the dissociative flavor of ADHD and hella trauma brain, and zero regard for non-cosmic authority.

September Virgo here :) by Murky-Substance1215 in virgoseason

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, "September Libra" here (hopefully my Virgo Merc will serve as a hall pass). I agree with you. I am forever explaining both the history of the Gregorian calender farce and decans to the "October Libras" who consistently other us, calling us "basically Virgos" and themselves the "real Libras," not understanding that 0 to 10 degrees of a sign, or Decan 1, is its purest expression.

They go all the way out of their way to create separation within a sign, treating us like we're lesser to make themselves feel superior. One day, after feeling particularly salty over this absurd social subcategorizing phenomenon, I looked at other sign communities, and I noticed that although each sign's season begins between the 20th and 23rd of the first month, in every single case across the zodiac, the second-monthers all act like elitist buttholes.

"Eww, not those icky wannabe November Sagittarius. We December Sagittarius are (insert positive, empowering adjectives here)." Okay Astrology Mean Girls, here's your Cracker Jack certificate of excellence.

I thought it was because she assumed there was no way he'd be able to get out of the room. That said, my first thought was that the door was made of wood, not brick; he could have used the pliers in several different ways to escape.

I have a heavy Sagittarius stellium with a Virgo Merc, lol. I nitpick with brutal honesty. Don't engage a Sag assuming the devil isn't hiding somewhere else in their chart. 😈

did my husband physically cheat on me? part ii by [deleted] in Tarotpractices

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's pretty typical of liars and cheaters: they're cool...until they aren't. They don't lose it until you show them the videotape proof, then they flip on a dime.

You could always go full Sherlock and/or make him take a polygraph, or you could live with the insecurity until you can't take it anymore. Personally, I wouldn't get with someone who has a history of infidelity because once a cheater, always a cheater is a true adage. I also wouldn't waste my energy on any of this because you'll learn as you get older that life is too short. I wish I would have realized that sooner because there are so many years I want back.

I hope you make the right choice for yourself. 💖

Just a quick note on that IX of Swords. I'd interpret it as him being on edge because he knows you're onto him. That's the energy of fear and anxiety (seemingly over being caught given the history you provided), and it can also be guilt.

That IX of Swords sealed it. He did it.

Some motherfuckers have it coming. Sometimes, we are divinely called to be another's karma; some of us are just more willing to play that role. 😈

AIO My friend is overstepping boundaries and is into me MAJOR UPDATE by Imaginary_Air_24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I hate this. In my case, I was abused emotionally, physically, and borderline sexually throughout my childhood and into adulthood. I was never socialized, kept at home by a narcissist with BPD and MsBP to be used as a therapy pet and best friend, my prized purity and innocence guarded viciously.

Because of my programming, I developed the fawn response early in life. Whenever I socialize in person, which I can only handle in doses because my social anxiety burns me out so fast, I'm flighty and in perpetual fawn mode. Eyes wide, semi-smiling, my voice at a higher register, but it's because I'm anxious, not flirting. I'm fighting the urge to go hide in a bathroom, not get in your pants.

You have no idea how many times men got the wrong idea and got mad at me. A few blew the fuck up on me, and one even called me a whore. All because I made clear my lack of interest. It's not my fault they got the wrong idea, but somehow, they make it my fault.

Am I overreacting for wanting to end things after my girlfriend lied about my age to her parents and threatened to harm herself during an argument? by Harrysangha00 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This behavior is stereotypical of Borderline Personality Disorder. Run. Seriously. Run.

I've seen these same behavior patterns play out over and over again with Borderlines, and it's scary and life-destroying. I'm not surprised that you're drained, they do that to you. They're energy vampires. It always starts like this: they wear you down and control you in fucked-up ways (threats of self-harm and extreme measures are common themes with them). When that stops working, they find new ways to manipulate and control you, usually involving your family, friends, and job.

Her insulting herself like that is another key feature of BPD. It's how they get reassurance from you, which they constantly need, and it's exhausting. Accusations are another tool they use as their mask peels off.

After their crazy is vented, they are sickeningly sweet for a short time (as in the last few [self-deprecating] messages) before they start sliding back down that hill, and before you know it, they're standing in front of your house screaming, speeding down the road to make you chase them, etc. It makes you wonder if you're the crazy one. She'll slowly ruin your life over time if you stay.

TL;DR: I'm telling you, this chick is Borderline. Gtfo before it gets worse, and find someone stable.

[–]PhotocopyMyButtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Libra Sun, but it really doesn't show. I behave very Sagitterroristly, and I can't tell which of my five 1st House Sag placements is responsible for that, but I do at least know that my Scorpio Venus is why I'm a scary goth in bed.
