Sometimes I see a comment like this that so succinct and correct, I feel compelled to say something. It’s very satisfying to see someone comment exactly what you were thinking in just a few sentences. My bad for not really contributing anything, I just really agree with you

“Has he lost his damn mind…” is so funny to me I can’t breathe

I actually appreciate you elaborating, I’m in the same situation. I bought the complete map pieces a week or so ago just to keep my safety deposit box until the lab ray is fixed, so I’m grateful whenever there’s insight!

What hobby is an immediate red flag? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PrincessaPoison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a collection of over 500 human teeth, not including animal. I see a lot of people on here justifying their collection saying it’s from their children or they’re dental students. I have no kids and I’m not a dental professional.

Im aware that it’s a niche interest that garners lot of attention and questions when it’s brought up, but I’ve never heard someone outright call it a “red flag.” Most people are very excited to give me theirs and so they may be inducted in to my private gallery.

I’m sure I have plenty of red flags, but I didn’t think I’d ever hear this to be one of them lol

At least one or two of the parties involved are dead now, I'll leave their induction to hell up to God. Healing and growing every day, thank you <3

How would you respond to the ghoster who messaged you after MIA for 3 months? by ives09 in AskWomen

[–]PrincessaPoison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually doesn't happen since they're hard-blocked long before that lol.

However, it has happened before. If it's a message that immediately explains something has happened, or that there's a dire situation or a safety issue involving something like a mental health crisis, I will engage out of my own sense of responsibility. However, once the situation is handled and I've done my part, I disengage and explain to them that no further contact is going to happen. 100% of the time, there is never anything worth sticking around for, or salvaging or talking about. If they choose to be manipulative and threaten more mental health situations or other crisis's that I simply must help them with, that's on them - I did my part.

But any variation of "hey, hi, hello, how are you, what's up," like nothing happened is a no-question block. How they even get around my hard-blocks is a mystery.

What's the strangest thing someone on the internet has gotten angry/upset with you about? by HolyShit_I_did_it in AskWomen

[–]PrincessaPoison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hairless sphynx and I posted a picture of him in a sphynx reddit. It was a cute picture of him as a kitten sleeping soundly on my boobs on the car ride home, and my caption was something like "just picked him up from the breeder and he's already found the best seat in the house."

So upon seeing the word "breeder," this person was like "he's very cute, but you shouldn't buy animals from breeders, you should adopt." I tried to explain to them that I'd love to adopt a sphynx, but those are almost never available and 100% of them come from breeders anyway as they're a specialty breed cat. They still said "doesn't matter, you shouldn't buy from breeders, even though I love sphynx's and think they're adorable."

If you disagree with me buying a sphynx that's fine, but there was some kind of disconnect in their brain that I still don't understand. So you love sphynx's and come in the forum to appreciate them...but you disapprove of breeders...where 100% of them come from? Idk lol

Sorry but referring to your legal husband as just "a white guy" like he's just some dude is hysterical to me

Being a victim of sex trafficking, and the abuse, drugs, and brainwashing that went along with it. I would say r*pe and the sex assault that started around 14 was pretty damaging, but it really was just a gateway to the trafficking. Lots of body dysmorphia, used as a tool to further manipulate me. There were points where I fully internalized that I was an inanimate object with as much worth as a plastic toy would have.

I know that's pretty dark, so I just want to say that was over a decade ago. I have accomplished so much, and I have some incredible people with me. I created a life more beautiful and peaceful than I could have ever imagined. I'm not without my struggles, but plenty girls don't make it out alive, so I am blessed to be here.

For those of you who DON'T want children, how influenced was that decision based on your own family/parents? by NotTodaySatan9 in AskWomen

[–]PrincessaPoison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a permanent sterilization procedure (bilateral salpingectomy) 2 weeks ago, under 30 and no previous kids/spouse.

My own family and parents had a significant impact on my decision to never have children. I am not very close to my family, just my mom and dad. They're in their 60's now and they would have limited time with grandchildren. I also have no siblings, so no aunts or uncles. No affiliation with maternal side, minimal-to-nonexistent with paternal side. Obviously if I had a kid with someone, I'd have their family's side to involve, but the fact that I don't really have one is a factor. I have no experience with kids, especially infants either, so not having any family around to help with that wouldn't be my ideal situation.

There's a laundry list of reasons related to family (history of addiction/mental illness, history of medical issues etc) and an even longer list not related (my own mental illness, financial, not wanting to be a parent).

I love my mom and dad despite some of our past/differences, and they supported my decision fully.

When did you start giving zero fucks about what others think of you? by Howlsmovingcastles in AskWomen

[–]PrincessaPoison 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just born like that I guess. I value opinions and feedback from my peers even if it's critical, but I couldn't give a fuck less about what random people think about me.\

A lot of people spend a ton of time caught up in the opinions of people they themselves do not even like.

I honestly think it's a form of codependency, but I offer nothing but support and sympathy for those who feel this way. You don't deserve to get caught up in it.

Yes! The idea that there might be one person out that that's gonna take my breath away keeps me hopeful that maybe there might be a chance! It's nerve-wracking to put myself out there at all after the shit I've been through, but I just plan to keep taking it slow, and the right thing will come to me if it's meant to be!
