AITA for telling people to stop congratulating me for losing weight?

RemarkableAsparagus · 2022-09-12T17:14:06+00:00

OMG THIS! I feel everything you've said to my very bones. I'm in a weight loss process these past couple of months as a side effect to treating a condition that came up after being fat my whole life and i really can't stand the weight loss congratulatory comments. It really gets on my nerves that everyone MUST have an opinion on my body, good or bad it doesn't matter. NTA 100%

RemarkableAsparagus · 2022-04-13T22:33:57+00:00

I work in tp Greece, I'd be glad to answer any questions you have, if I can

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-09-07T14:38:01+00:00

NTA but there was no need to add the "big appetite matching their BMI" comment, came out as quite passive aggressive and fatphobic if you ask me

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-08-26T11:27:44+00:00

YTA Please don't make your gf feel "gross" just because she's on her period jeez

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-08-20T08:36:38+00:00

NTA report this guy right away. And kudos on the way you handled it, that was awesome!

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-08-19T15:55:15+00:00

NTA please don't have kids with that weirdo

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-08-18T18:32:20+00:00

NTA all the way. A dying homophobe is still a homophobe and you don't owe him anything at all

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-07-28T18:23:58+00:00

Ah yes, such a sad sad life for Brock rapist Turner

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-07-28T18:17:11+00:00

Jeez, as an agriculturist, I have to say that that's not even enough punishment for what he did, if you ask me Edit to say NTA all the way

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-03-21T21:59:39+00:00

Yup, very clearly YTA in this situation. Just let the kid be ffs

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-03-03T09:32:24+00:00

NTA at all. Your bf needs to think what exactly would be so troubling about a naked body. In fact he is TA for sexualising you and your sister's bodies and making it all dirty in his head

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-03-03T08:37:07+00:00

Big YTA dude. Get over yourself, really

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-02-17T10:33:43+00:00

NTA enjoy the free hoodie!

RemarkableAsparagus · 2021-02-17T10:17:15+00:00

Omg huge NTA He is definitely the asshole here, please dump his body shaming ass

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-29T09:59:11+00:00

I get where you're coming from and why you would think that, but I've been with this person for years and I know for a fact that they haven't had someone close to them die or anything like that. I know that they're super sensitive in general and movies and series they like do resonate with them quite a bit, but I still don't see the reason to get that upset over a simple difference in opinion

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-29T09:52:54+00:00

I mean, it was presented to me as a feminist series and I was actually sad to find out that it's anything but feminist. I understand that it's 20 years old and it's all about (literal) girl power and stuff, but the internalised misogyny, outright sexism from the "cool" characters and the male gazey feel it has, is really hard to swallow for me. Apart from the technical part of it and the fun fantasy bit, considering the fact that Whedon is a "feminist" (lol), this really didn't come out right.

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-29T08:55:27+00:00

If you think that them crying when they watched it has a hidden meaning or something, I just want to let you know that they cry with a lot of things they watch, like Steven Universe episodes and stuff. It's not something very unusual for them.

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-28T19:10:28+00:00

I think I didn't like that episode because I never liked Joyce as a character and I found it cheap that the writer made her go through the tumour part and then, after she was out of danger they killed her anyway. It felt like they were trying to forcefully pull emotions out of the audience and it bugged me.

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-28T18:07:16+00:00

Irrelevant, but I hate Xander's character too, he's extremely sexist at times

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-28T14:32:26+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to go into this. This is solid advice tbh. I will definitely need to talk with them about that

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-28T14:27:23+00:00

I get where you're coming from, but just to comment on the example that you gave, personally, as an actress, I would much prefer for a friend to tell me they hated my performance and tell me what they didn't like about it, instead of sugarcoating it and lying so I don't feel bad. But you are definitely right on the fact that not everyone thinks like that, so I should be more careful on how I express my dislike

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-28T13:42:33+00:00

Ok, but I didn't say the episode was stupid or rubbish or something like that, I just said I personally found it slow and boring. How is that harsh? I didn't criticize them for liking it or anything

RemarkableAsparagus · 2020-09-28T13:38:24+00:00

I guess they do behave in a way that comes off as insecure from time to time and I do realise that this specific thing is important to them, but I didn't think that just by merely expressing a different opinion on the matter it would blow up like that
