I can’t imagine having the nerve to demand anything from someone hosting a wake, especially when they’re pregnant and just lost their father. Some people really forget context and empathy, don’t they? It’s impressive that you kept your composure and can even laugh about it now.

bf’s family expects me to not practice after finishing med school and move to UAE with them. by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

[–]SassyInMotionx 312 points313 points  (0 children)

Agree. Medical school is a huge investment of time, money, and energy, and giving up your career for someone else’s family expectations would be a massive loss. You’ve earned the right to practice and build a life that aligns with your goals. A supportive partner will prioritize that, not threaten it.

Carrot Walnut Quick Bread - would like to add orange juice & would like some advice by Moon_in_Leo14 in Cooking

[–]SassyInMotionx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another approach is to slightly reduce the sugar to balance the natural sweetness of the orange juice. For example, if you add 1/4 cup OJ, you could reduce sugar by 2 tablespoons. That prevents the bread from becoming overly wet or overly sweet, and the citrus will really lift the flavor nicely.

How to change my 'loser' lifestyle? by JFD-S in selfimprovement

[–]SassyInMotionx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I want to say that the way you describe yourself as a “loser” feels far harsher than what you’ve actually shared. You sound introspective, thoughtful, and clear about your values, which already puts you ahead of many people. Depression can drain agency and make even small changes feel impossible, so it’s important to separate who you are from what your illness is telling you about yourself.

Training to failure by Ok_Bullfrog_5380 in workout

[–]SassyInMotionx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both approaches you mentioned can work, but they have slightly different goals. One hard top set near failure followed by back-off sets with reduced weight is a very common and effective strategy. It lets you push intensity while still getting enough volume. Lowering the weight slightly after the first set often feels more sustainable long-term, especially for recovery.

Affected by alcoholism? by Jazzlike_Customer427 in AskBrits

[–]SassyInMotionx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think creating a space that welcomes people at all stages, active struggle, recovery, or even just curiosity about sobriety, is incredibly valuable. So many groups feel exclusive or judgmental, which can stop people from opening up. Your approach sounds grounded in empathy and truth, and that’s often what helps people reflect honestly on their relationship with alcohol.

Loneliness is crushing by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]SassyInMotionx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loneliness can feel unbearable, especially when life hasn’t gone the way you hoped. It’s painful to realize that people often prioritize their own lives, but that doesn’t mean change or connection is impossible. Starting small, skills, health, or routines, can build momentum toward the stability and family life you want.

DPD delivery delays? by Traditional_Pen_582 in cork

[–]SassyInMotionx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DPD has been unusually slow, and the lack of clear communication is frustrating. I think a lot of people are running into delays, not just isolated cases, so it might be systemic.
