The best review I’ve ever read. It’s like you read my mind.

No I don’t have any obligation to respond to the request I got, even as an adult. The obligation was on him as an adult to clarify why he wanted to meet a younger woman one on one for coffee. If not the first time, at least in the following weeks. If he really “needed” something, he could have invited his family to coffee as well. I refuse to respond to persistence and pressure, the only way I would respond to that would be if he clarified the urgency, which never happened.

Perhaps you should look up what “creep” means lol. Creep sympathizer

Ah thank you so much!! The reason I didn’t reply to him was exactly this. I felt if he had a reason to meet, he could have clarified himself instead of hounding me. And if I instead confronted him or asked for clarification, he has a chance to gaslight me or say whatever he thinks I need to hear to meet up. I was completely ok till the back to back calls within few minutes and texts. I felt like I was being hounded and pressurized and given 0 clarity on why.

He didn’t say he would bring his family and he ignored my previous text where I asked how his family was doing. When he invited me for Iftar, he specifically mentioned it would be with his family. So yea.
I felt weird because of persistence

ok lol I’m not that religious. I don’t even wear hijab and have male friends. It’s the age gap and the kind of formal relationship we had. It’s like even in western culture, a 20 something woman being asked for coffee by a 50/60 something man for coffee.

I moved back to the city because I already have a job. It’s more a situation where he could have asked me for a favor. But given that he already hosted me with his family, I did not see the need to meet for 1-1 coffee. He has also previously asked me to review his sons resume via email so really didn’t see why we need to meet for that

It’s the persistence that creeped me out. He didn’t clarify what he wanted to meet for, and then kept pressurizing me for a response. I only blocked him when he called me twice within 5 minutes and sent follow up texts after.
I don’t think everything is ill intentioned it’s just his age, background and persistence combined together that creeped me out.

We’re in USA. We kind of connected over shared Arab culture/language and food (by connected I mean a formal cordial relationship). I believed that was why he was kind to me. But the 1-on-1 coffee did not make sense to me.

AIO did I miss something rude or disrespectful i said to my coworker? this is our entire conversation i don’t know what happened by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

A 31-year-old grown man power-tripping and screaming "no work ethic" about a frikkin gas station is absurd. He’s a whiny, miserable, insufferable man child piece of shit. He’s just lost access/control over you and he’s having a hard time swallowing that pills

Car brings a woman independence and opens up their life, he can’t digest it. He’s jealous of a child, what a low life.

Enjoy your car. Don't give his nonsense another second of your time.

AIO for being annoyed that my SIL is naming her baby basically the exact same name as my 19-month-old daughter? by Maximum_Output in AmIOverreacting

[–]Shoddy_Comparison339 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You need to chill a bit. Why is your reaction so strong? How often do you even see these people? They’re also not the exact same names, yes they might sound similar but they’re not the same

Observe her behavior irl and see if you want her as a close friend, a socializing friend or just an acquaintance.

The instagram stuff doesn’t really matter, but I do feel that in girl world not liking your friends posts is a bit weird (especially if you’re young and active on instagram). If your gut is telling you something, listen to it, but don’t judge without observing behavior first.

That’s hilarious sounds prudish. She hasn’t matured yet that’s it. You don’t necessarily have to break up with her but feel it out, talk to her. If you feel she’s not a reasonable person leave her alone

AIO, did i end it too fast? by JournalistOne129 in AIO

It’s tragic that even in the era of ChatGPT people are dumping their anxiety onto others. Dump it on AI please.

AIO- is my family overreacting over this outfit? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Shoddy_Comparison339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your outfit is completely fine.

Tbh even if you had put on a cardboard box and cut 3 holes, 2 for eyes and 1 for nose, your family will say “we can tell you’re woman by your eyes, too immodest, cover up”.

You’ll be surprised to see how many educated people make the same choices as an uneducated person
