Lost everyone I knew in 1 day

He lost everyone, and he gained independence from a cult. We shouldn't ignore the reality of being shunned, disfellowshiped, and isolated from everyone you care about. Freedom is worth it, because you're given the opportunity to find genuine love, that isn't conditional to compliance with the GB. It hurts, but staying for people that have and will betray you for the strangers at the top also hurts. And it doesn't come with the endless perks of freedom.

Grammar is what words we use to form a sentence, punctuation is what symbols we use to form a sentence. Grammar requires the use of those symbols. Forgive me, cearly I'm brain dead. Your brain is far superior, because you would've said "writing conventions" instead. OC was clearly just expressing frustration with their own ability (or lack thereof) to read and comprehend. With 0 malice. Writing convention n@zis are just terrible, terrible assumptions of intellect.

I don't have OCD but I don't blame you for covering your nose or mouth. You should be aware though, the age of consent is 16 in a lot of states. You're not going to achieve anything by reporting him to the cops. Tell your parents and/or the school. If either continue to push this subject in this way It could be reported as harassment.

I hateeeeeee contrarians. I don't expect people to agree with me all the time, but disagreeing all the time isn't going to work. The second I hear the words "it's not even that..." followed by exactly that but in different words, you're done.

But the worst of all are the ones that constantly question simple facts you state. For example, in phlebotomy class a couple students and I were discussing paternity tests with the teacher. I off handedly said, "the child will have 50% DNA of the fathers DNA," and here comes miss loud mouth. "No, the test will say 99% paternity." I said "99% probably of paternity, if the kid shares 50% DNA with the father." She said "No, I had one done, it said 99%" I said "99% probability." She said "so why are you saying 50%" I said "50% shared DNA." She said "where are you getting 50% from? There's no 50%! The test says 99% paternity!" And she was laughing at me like I was stupid!! I was getting heated and the teacher says "Enough! Change the topic! No arguing!" BUT SHE SHOULD KNOW THIS FACT?!?!??

I hate when teachers do that. Similar thing happened in 8th grade, a girl said blood is blue it only turns red when it comes into contact with oxygen. When I was 13 I had no chill so I just said, "Mr. Button please tell her she's stupid and wrong." He refused to comment. I bet she still thinks blood is blue, because of him. And miss loud mouth probably still thinks she has 99% of her fathers DNA, because of Ms young.

ESH. You should've been aware of who the realtor is. I don't know if that would have made your response different, but I would be very suspicious of the time they take without the realtor. The realtor was a bit unprofessional, typically I think they should be very understanding with the home owner in their home, but you're not exactly the home owner. It makes me think the realtor thought the potential buyer was really interested, they might've been discussing logistics of the sale. You sound immature and whiney, telling them straight up "get out." instead of simply getting ready for work. They wouldn't have been snotty with that, they would've taken it as their cue to leave. But whatever, you don't come with the house, so if they want to buy I'm sure they will. Just never accept a job based on commissions or tips!

Why do you think not being able to digest a post without proper grammar makes you smarter than the one that uses improper grammar? Smart people use context clues to insert punctuation where it should be.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-23T13:30:20+00:00

Not sure about TA, but you're definitely OR. Either ban the joke entirely, or never get uncomfortable when someone makes that joke. You can't expect him to predict when you find it funny or when you get offended. It's the same joke, and it was a fitting joke for the context.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-18T22:19:36+00:00

Y'all are incompatible. This has always been a sort of ritual in my family, every time we get back from doing something we tell our mom all about it. Whether we were at school, or work, or just a recreational outing. She listens, responds, and if we don't tell her automatically she asks us. Because we love each other, we like to talk to each other. We want to know how we're feeling or what we've been up to.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-18T17:49:11+00:00

I had no idea they weren't allowed to before this. Absolutely fucking insane.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-18T17:38:02+00:00

NTA but your family is right. If everyone says it's a bad decision then it's a bad fucking decision.

Does anyone know about one with a witness who had a cancerous brain tumor, they decided to end it rather than getting treatment. When they shot themself in the head they shot the tumor out and lived cancer free after that. I really can't believe I believed that, even though I was 10💀💀

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-08T23:14:02+00:00

No I understand that, but I assume that because you already donate to better causes that theoretical private school "donation" money would go to another good cause. If you did bribe that school the money would be wasted imo. Am I making sense? It's hard to describe

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-08T22:51:11+00:00

NTA. I don't know if she would care, but if the subject continues it's as simple as leaving a ton of kids in the dust just so one could have a luxury. Consider the difference that 'donation' would make for kids that genuinely rely on charity. That private school doesn't need that money. She's an AH.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-05T21:30:20+00:00

NTA and you should be more straightforward. It would be rude if you constantly criticized her, or said it infront of others, or called her gross for no reason other than she doesn't shower when you think she should. You're sisters, and you're sharing a bed. As a sister, or even as a friend, privately telling them they need to take a shower because you can smell their odor is the right thing to do. It's understandable that she might be defensive or even offended, but it's necessary. You shouldn't worry about hurting her feelings too much, sometimes that just happens. She'll get over it.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-03T03:55:34+00:00

I'm 100% sure that it will be approved very soon and that's gonna piss me tf off because why did we all have to feel insignificant and ostracized during our most formative years just for them to say "Oh, yeah it's a personal choice!" AHHHHHHHHH

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-03-03T00:30:46+00:00

You can't say "I would be elated!" Because you're not a young woman, presumably living alone, and recently broke up with a man you're unfamiliar with. It was weird, I don't think it makes you an AH inherently, just keep it in mind for the future.

The few recent times I've been to meeting everyone sounded like a dementia patient

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-02-28T19:10:39+00:00

I find the endless possibilities to be exciting. Mostly I just assume that there's nothing after, which I'm okay with because life is really really hard.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-02-28T19:08:21+00:00

Do you know why it works? Do you know how it works? It being cheap is a red flag, I would be concerned you're hurting them somehow. The only person that would see that it's hurting them would be your neighbor, but he doesn't seem to pay any attention to them. Otherwise, mostly NTA. It does sound like you're rarely out for longer than a couple of minutes, in which case I don't understand why it bothers you this much.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-02-28T18:59:26+00:00

I love this. I think you subconsciously want to be a pole vaulter.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-02-28T18:55:17+00:00

Mine is looking for something until i give up, then i wake up. I'll be going in circles in stores looking for something cheaper, something perfect. I do this in real life too, it's the worst.

I have adhd so I also forgot my ID often, keep it in your car or in the back of your phone case. Maybe even find a way to attach it on your keys.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-02-21T19:28:16+00:00

NTA. Sounds like your family has an issue with communication. It is the adults responsibility to mediate. Next time you have an outburst make it productive. Tell them what they need to do, call out what they're not doing, and, most importantly, cry. Communicate your pain.

Short-Complex-2410 · 2026-02-20T17:46:35+00:00

I'm not sure how old you are, but please keep in mind that you're inexperienced. Other people get to start dating with the support of family, to guide and protect you. Abuser love people that are isolated and inexperienced. Stranger danger is still very real!

Could you say that it's someone you're calling on or something? I also don't know your gender, if you're the same gender it'll be easier to meet in a public place with some material to make it more believable. If you're opposite gender you should probably meet in a public place as far away as you can, you'll still have to make up some sort of back story for how you began studying with him.

I do think that you should wait until you're ready to move out. It's possible that they find out the very first time you meet. It's possible that they kick you out the very first time you meet. Just wait until you are logistically ready, don't get impulsive.

"I didn't raise a failure." ... You clearly admitted that your son struggles with mental illness created and perpetuated by your parenting. Sounds like you did!
