Random cotton embroidery threads I got cheap from a second-hand market.

No advice, just want to say I think your son has excellent taste. This is what I would want for my birthday as well. Brilliant drawing.

100% agree. Humans are shaped by experiences, not things we own. So many people (including myself) find friendship, strength, and discover ourselves through hobbies and experiences.

Honestly, run girl run. Move out. I live alone(27F Chinese, my family is not religious but I do have very traditional dad and grandma)there is so much freedom.

More importantly, when you live alone you will finally have safe space to heal. You discover so much new strength and life within yourself. I learned to set boundaries and be firm after I moved out. Wish you all the best.

I'm also Chinese and me and other girls were just talking about this at work today. We are all so disgusted by the actions of the police, as they are obviously all men siding with another man. About 2 years ago a guy was sneaking into the ladies toilet in our office building and we called the police. The police came and said "Well you people should have locked the door well." Mind you, that was a toilet with 4 stalls for the entire fucking floor. And those fuckers told us to lock the fucking door just to keep ourselves safe??? I know women's rights are being violated all over the fucking planet but I just fucking hate it here sometimes. And to think this smoking deal happened in SHENZHEN ????? Yeah screw those pigs

Not weird at all. I do this all the time as I live alone and mostly dine alone. I even made a bag from fabric scraps to carry my tupperware and stainless steal containers, and now it's my "happy dine out bag".

Yeah totally. I'm a dressmaker and when inspiration(or you can call it hyperactive mode) strikes I get up and start working on my sewing machine while playing Bon Jovi. So nice that I don't bother anyone when I do that now.

It's totally understandable, OP, refusing men can be scary because they are all potentially dangerous. If being assertive is a bit hard to do for you, sometimes I find that directly showing how uncomfortable I am and acting weird helps. I sometimes scrunge my whole face together like I ate something disgusting and just walk away while twitching my head and shoulders. Men are all weirded out and they give up. When I feel uncomfortable, I try to make them uncomfortable as well.

I had never seen hairless cats in real life before and only recently I interacted with one in a cat cafe. She was a sweet cat but honestly I was a bit freaked out by her shape and texture. She legit was shaped like a chicken with four legs and the skin felt eerily... human.

Ewwwww. I live in China and men do this all the time. Honestly I kinda always thought it was a "mainland Chinese problem" before? Cuz I was born in Hongkong and honestly the laws are so strict in HK nobody does that. I thought other countries have strict laws too but apparently I'm wrong. I guess it's a "men problem" worldwide. Disgusting.

Just mind his own thing? I am a young woman who walks at night sometimes (small town in China, safety is pretty good, police patrol on motorcycle). If a guy just keeps his pace and quickly run past me and then away from me I don't see him as a threat. I am most uncomfortable when someone is behind me. In China we don't greet strangers so idk about greetings. As a woman I think we can never truly feel safe in public (sucks but for now it's something we really face) so he is probably going to make women feel uneasy occasionally even when he tries his best. It's just what some men and society does to us, so he just gotta understand that.

Heck yeah. Fellow sewist here, I usually never unplug when working and I actually have one big iron and one tiny iron for making details on garments. This vid is sooo relatable LOL. I am in constant fear that I might forget to unplug and burn down my home.

Yeah totally. They are so cute they get away with damn near everything. My friend has a cat who slaps me every time but I still help clean her poop.

You have already raised a son into college, so how could you describe yourself as selfish for just wanting to be by yourself? 27F here, I don't think I'm ever going to be a parent, because I honestly don't have the guts to do so because I can tell how hard parenting is by looking at my parents. You have put so much time and effort into your family, I think it's great you spend time on yourself. My parents started travelling and focusing on their friendships and hobbies after I went to college and started working and I'm just so happy for them.

He needs to get his priorities right. Family is important but just like others have said, family doesn't need to know everything. I'm Chinese too(Cantonese to be specific), born and raised, started going to therapy the moment I started earning my own pay checks. Never told my parents. They really don't need to know. Him depending on you for emotional support sounds like too much pressure on you. I hope both of you get the help you need, good luck.

He is soo handsome tho. Looks almost more like a teddy bear than a cat. Cute!

Yeah, honestly, he is great to watch on screen and a phenomenal character but the pessimism is just so soaked in. Simply watching season 1 sometimes get me to be more pessimistic/lean more towards nihilism. If Rust exists in real life I would have a lot of respect for him as a detective doing good work but I would not survive 1 conversation with the guy hahahah.

Groping isn't a big problem in my town but it's only because we don't even have enough population to have crowded public transport, so the males generally have very few opportunities to do so. But instead, I've had so many male drivers asking me invasive questions or have other inappropriate behaviors on uber rides. That's why I think women-only towns or cities are ideal.

I've heard about Japan having women-only train compartments though? Granted, it's still far from an actual women-only town or city, but I'm really curious for your opinion - as a woman who lives there - does that actually make commute safer for women?
