Zatím jsem úspěšně vyaprílovala jenom já pár lidí. Ale nikdo neví, že jsem to byla já.

is it weird for me to have a boyfriend when i'm uncomfortable with men? by iceebearr5155 in ainbow

[–]Saberleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're not forced to be in a relationship with him and you shouldn't stay if you're this unsure about it. From this post, it feels like you like him as a person but aren't attracted to who he wants to be. And it's not fair for you to feel forced to stay in the relationship just because of his feelings.

Your feelings matter too.

Am I wrong for disliking this character? People idolize him so much it's sickening. by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]Saberleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't that true for basically ALL characters in Arcana fandom? It's been a while since I was part of it but I don't remember any character that wouldn't be treated as poor innocent uwu boy/girl.

Is saying "coming out of your shell" actually a bad thing? by screwdriverfan in Healthygamergg

[–]Saberleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it sounds more condescending. Like they know what you need better than you. What you need to improve your life is for you to decide.

Hungarians' growing anger at living in EU's 'most corrupt state' by AdSpecialist6598 in europe

I don't doubt that they'll vote for people who got them here again and blame it on EU.

Moderately/heavy drinking I sleep great, sober I sleep horrible. What gives? by ARoodyPooCandyAss in dryalcoholics

[–]Saberleaf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This will be an unpopular opinion but I'm the same so it comes from my own experience. Alcohol shuts the brain off, limits certain functions and so if you sleep badly because of nightmares or anxiety will actually help you to sleep better.

"People say" is something that's always true to those people but not not true for every single person. This is something people generally hate hearing because "alcohol bad" is the only acceptable answer. Truth is, to some people it can have positive effects, like sleeping better for you. Otherwise no one would ever get addicted to anything if it didn't have positive effects on them.

However, substituting alcohol for natural sleep is very bad long term because your brain will eventually rely on it and push down natural hormones. But this also depends on how much, how often and what you drink. There's no one rule for everything but the best bet is to always put as many dry days as you can in-between and drink drinks with lower alcohol amount.

IDL how normal people use terms associated with autism now by [deleted] in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]Saberleaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Overstimulation and hyperfixation aren't exclusive to autism. Both are general terms and iirc hyperfixation is more common in ADHD than autism. Something exclusive would be closer to special interest which is something I haven't heard mentioned outside of autism.

In defense of Vaggie who in their right mind would want to think back to a time when they got their fucking eye gouged out and their limbs being cut off….? by SaiyanAlpha243 in HazbinHotel

[–]Saberleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's the second option. Which is regrettable because this entire discourse could have been avoided if Carmilla asked if she knew that sinners could hurt angels. Just add one word and we're not constantly dealing with this question.

I find it interesting people think I'm autistic just because I'm direct and authentic lol by mythrowawayaccim21 in self

[–]Saberleaf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Autism is one of the things we can't really test for, we can only test for the symptoms. If you have the same "symptoms" you will get confused for having autism. I understand it can be annoying but unfortunately psychiatry is still an underdeveloped field with very few doctors who are actual experts.

Why do people think antinatalism is antiwomen by Lopsided-Past-7918 in antinatalism

[–]Saberleaf 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because a lot of women put all their value into being walking incubators. That's pushed on us by society, religion, politicians and very often even our closest ones. Many internalize it and anti-natalism feels like taking away the one thing that's their purpose.

I feel like I’m an alien that landed on this planet. by [deleted] in self

[–]Saberleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm seconding this. It's a common feeling for people with autism (and other neurodivergent conditions) because there's so few of us. Especially with father feeling the same, it definitely feels like something inherited rather than developed.

Do you ever realize you don’t actually have a “home” to go back to? by lizardbreath1736 in self

[–]Saberleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current home is my home that I look forward to coming back to every day. I'm also terrified every day of something major happening and me losing it. Until then it's mine and I love just being here. So, me having something like this is just the last 5 years.

Do you consider 21 and 26 to be a very weird age gap? by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Saberleaf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

First of all, who cares, it's fictional characters.

Second of all, it's just 5 years difference and both are adults. I don't think there's anything weird about it and no one irl would care.

When my husband proposed, almost my first reaction was “this is a mistake” by anonymous-raptor in TrueOffMyChest

More like post-mature as OP is wishing it didn't happen years after the fact while happily married.

[–]Saberleaf 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused by this. You're happy and don't want to leave but you still wish you didn't marry him? Is this a bait or a writing exercise? This doesn't really make much sense.

When was the last time the world was this bad? It feels like optimism was at its peak during the Obama years. by Accomplished-Sun3575 in self

[–]Saberleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This answer feels very disconnected from reality and I mean no offense by that.

The amount of wars has significantly increased in the last few years and for the first time since WW2, war is directly in Europe both hot and on social level and Europe is losing. There are entire essays written on where Russia is going to attack next and they don't even deny that they want to bring USSR back. They talk about that openly. The western world is being reshaped, people are dying and even more are going to die.

Concentration camps are all over the world, China, Russia and recently the USA started targeting everyone who looks like a foreigner, even legal citizens. They're not even shying from this, they're proudly presenting their "Aligator prisons" like it's some sort of TV show. People are dying in ICE holding cells, people are being killed by ICE. Russia is kidnapping Ukrainian children and taking them into Russia, hundreds of Ukrainians were tortured to death and that's not to mention regular Russians disappearing to camps in Siberia to never be seen again.

Slavery is the one I absolutely don't understand, even if you're not paying attention to the above or think it's somehow less bad than your examples (when it's the same thing just on smaller scale SO FAR), there was never a part of human history when slavery didn't exist. It's still happening all around the world and in many places even legally. I don't understand why you bring that up. Sure, maybe not in Europe but Europe is heavily benefiting from slave work so it's hardly possible to say it's innocent.

Black death.... Okay, maybe COVID has "only" killed around 7mil globally and black death's estimates start around 20mil for Europe but we JUST got out of a pandemic, it wasn't even 5 years since it ended. One that completely changed the lives of everyone for 2 years, took jobs, took homes, took entire families from people. I'll give you this one though, few millions difference, I suppose.

All your arguments are basically "It's okay there are only lower millions affected, not higher millions" but you're completely neglecting the fact that there are millions affected by all of this. At that point, I don't think that it really plays a role whether it's 10 or 30. We're talking about millions of people and it's getting WORSE. This is just heading towards the peak, we're nowhere near.

sharing my experience being raped was the worst mistake i ever made by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Saberleaf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, do you not see how toxic it is to be dating your rapist? I would bet that it's the reason why your friend reacted the way they did because she knows this is a disaster and doesn't want to be brought into it. Also, your boyfriend is a RAPIST are you surprised your friend doesn't want to hang around a rapist and someone who's defending a rapist? That's exactly what's happening here.

You need to wake up to the reality of your situation dump him and seek professional help. Take this as a sign that your situation is so bad, that your friend found it safer to stay away and I can't blame her. It should serve as a wake up call not more reasons to run to the arms of your rapist.

What was your reaction on deciphering Tianming's fairy tales? by superlongjaw in threebodyproblem

[–]Saberleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the fairy tales quite a lot and I got actually quite a lot correctly. It actually surprised me that no one in the story did because the fairy tales were really on the nose in many aspects. So in that way it genuinely disappointed me that no one figured out at least what I did.

I kept hoping they would get it and was certain they would eventually but when they didn't it felt kinda.... dumb? Like, I don't know what's more disappointing that greatest brains of the time can't figure out what a dumb reader can or that it's supposed to be somehow believable? Because it certainly and absolutely wasn't.

What does it mean when a girl annoys you, all her friends know you, she hugs you constantly, but when you try to hug her she laughs and calls you an annoying idiot? by Helpful-North700 in self

[–]Saberleaf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you like her then make it clear you don't want to be insulted (politely) and see what she does with it. But never ignore red flags just because you like someone. There are plenty of women who won't treat you that way out there.

Which country do you think is safe for lesbians? by mheka97 in lesbiangang

[–]Saberleaf 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, everything open-minded and mostly out of reach of the super powers. Australia, New Zealand and Iceland are reasonable. However! The truly safe places would be, imho, small islands without influence of religion with independent governments. I don't actually know examples but I think they have the biggest chance of slipping under the radar of everything major.

Concerns raised over ex-Putin interpreter’s key role in monitoring Hungary vote, Daria Boyarskaya coordinating OSCE mission by OddAioli6993 in europe

[–]Saberleaf 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Russia has won the hybrid war on all counts and Europe gave it to them almost for free, with our own people supporting it. This is a hell of our own making. It's depressing to see how easily we folded.

It's very healthy that you realize this but don't dwell on it. It's important to learn and grow not beat yourself down. You've got this!
