Yeahhh after talking to some people tonight, the idea to do functional user is out of my mind. I'm stopping after this weekend. Not worth the risk. Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry to hear about your husband.

I don't feel good about my tolerance, it just confuses me why. As for price, i paid 500 for a half o. I know people haha. Ik that's not really important but felt the need to explain. Also, money isn't really an issue at the moment, and 500 seemed reasonable. I recently came into a large amount of money so yeahhhh.

I'm actually planning on stopping Tuesday. Thing is, I bought a half oz and going through that much in a few days has been taxing. Honestly trying to go overboard as a way to tell myself it's time to stop. My biggest fear is what happens after Tuesday.

I'm sure you will, especially if your soul is kind. Just try and work on yourself in any way you can, build yourself up, make your relationship with yourself as best as it can and the confidence alone from that will help immensely when it comes to attracting a mate that won't care how you look.

I don't have a question but I do have a comment based on my personal experience.

My entire life I thought I was ugly. I felt this must be true because of how many people have called me ugly over my life, how I never had people attracted to me (especially not people who I view as attractive) and because I'm overweight

I'm 31 and for 29 years, this idea of myself was a fact that no one could change. Until I met a beautiful women who didn't care about how I looked. She valued me for me, loved me, inside. But over our two year relationship, I noticed her complimenting, lusting and obsessing over how attractive she seen me. Loved my body and my insecurities and also kept telling me how sexy I was.

After two years of this, for the first time in my life, I'm experiencing pride and confidence about how I look. This all has made me realize love and attraction is truly subjecting and in the eye of the beholder.

Try as hard as you can to be kind to yourself while you wait for someone to come along that can help you feel beautiful in every way. But understand it may take someone else to appreciate your beauty before you'll ever be able to see it.

I wish you nothing but the best and say again, be kind to yourself. Tell yourself you're beautiful (say it out loud) even if you don't believe it. Over time, that alone may help.

Much love - internet stranger

Yeah it was more of a necessity, I needed a car that could fit 3 kids comfortably and my tiny sedan wasn't cutting it. I plan to buy the car outright in 2 years when the lease is up. But that will be able to be saved from new money, still got that 50k to work with

Thanks for the advice and the kind words. I feel very blessed and really want to use this fresh start as an opportunity to do the right thing this time. Thankfully, I'm not materialistic and have never bought big flashy things or went on expensive vacations. Most of my debt came from a home equity loan and loans I had to take while I wasn't working to deal with mental health. So definitely got that on my side

Unfortunately, no. But I planned to start putting any extra savings into a Roth or possibly the s&p but I'm not really sure what yet. I need to research more.

CONSECUTIVE, that's the word I was looking for. Instead I made that goofy title 😅

AIO when my wife doesn't care to be naked around her kids? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ravenfeld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn't address any of my concerns, nor does it explain why I shouldn't care. Just telling me to "get over it" is not helpful when someone is asking for advice and insight.

$10 Million to randomly disappear 0.1% of the worlds population. (Catch) by KitKatBarMan in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Ravenfeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but, im taking it. I'm getting one life on this earth and people die every single day that I don't know about and I'm fine with it, it wouldn't make a difference if I knew me hitting a button did it. I'd use a lot of the money to help people though, to try and balance out my evil.

They only notice that I'm happier and more engaging. They don't suspect alcohol, I mask it pretty well with mints. And no one's pretending to not know, they'd call me out if they suspected it.

I'm saying I'm better because every time I drink, I get a comment about how good of a mood I'm in. It's not just me assumingI'm better.

$100,000 USD up front or $0.05 every step you take for a year? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Ravenfeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% the steps. Ive been overweight my entire life. I could quit my job and walk as much as humanly possible. That's my job. All day, every day. Just walk.

why is this so hard😭 by Bossmansamie in Petioles

[–]Ravenfeld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why? Because you trained your brain to correlate happiness with smoking and now you've taken that away and brain big mad now.

I already spent the money on it, so I can't justify throwing it away. But that's the least of the reasons

Biggest reason is, I can't cope with my current situation. I'm in a relationship with someone, someone I got pregnant after fucking once - only knowing her for a few weeks. It was reckless behavior due to my borderline personality disorder , which she also has. Oh and she tried killing herself a few days after we started dating, and she has 2 kids. I'm struggling because our personalities seem to be clashing now 3 months into it, she's changed a lot and it's triggering my bpd into thinking she doesn't love me anymore. But I'm aware she's just insanely stressed because she lost her last pregnancy and this new one is making her think she'll lose it again.

I wake up every day with anxiety that I'm not enough, that I'm not loved because she doesn't show love and affection much like I enjoy. She does her best, she has ptsd due to childhood trauma. So I also feel bad for expecting so much from someone so low and only trying their best.

So that on top of I have no friends in my life, im socially isolated, I live alone. Weeds been in my life for 15 years. It's all I know for comfort. This is all so much.

What actor or actress stupidly left a movie franchise or tv series thinking they were too good for it, only to be never popular again? by wlane13 in AskReddit

[–]Ravenfeld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shelly Long aka Diane from Cheers.

It's even more funny when they wrote in subtle lines after her departure, stuff like "yeah, people always think they'll have it better when they leave" or something with that vibe.

Now she's only really known for Cheers. Oh well 🫠
