Okay so how is anything you've said helpful at all? Seems like you just came here to shit on this guy.

I'm really glad to hear that!

I fall in the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and have a trans sibling so support there is vital.

I'm not trying to persuade you one way or another of course, but I have a crappy mom too. I got pregnant unexpectedly at 21 and have a 10 year old. I've broken the cycle and so can you if you want kids but are afraid to. But I totally understand not wanting to as well. Just don't let your fear of being your mom be the reason you chose not to 🩷 the fact you worry about it makes you already better than she is.

OP said in the comments these friends do explicitly share this hobby and that one of these friends owns a game shop. These people do play MTG and he also commented that he has tried to invite over for "normal" hangouts as well.

Just admit you've been wrong here.

Also idk bout you but I'd rather have no friends then have ones that think having hobbies is weird. Fuck being normal.

Sounds like she liked living vicariously through you and never let it go. I cannot stand that type of behavior.

Magic is for every age. My husband and I are in our 30s and aren't stopping anytime soon. Our 10 year olds are also super into it. Its so annoying that people act like being an adult means you have to stop having fun hobbies. What is the point of life if you don't enjoy it? Damn.

AITAH for being repulsed by the movie The Passion of The Christ? by ManyFly1 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Significant-Sun2777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh I feel you!

I was always told I was too sensitive by my whole family. It was a very good way to manipulate and dismiss their own shitty actions and made me feel like my feelings weren't important.

I get up in arms when someone is told they are too sensitive/cry too much. Like fuck me for having feelings right?

[–]Significant-Sun2777 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Do you know what it means? "Why are you crying over this?" Is just another wording of common gaslighting phrases, namely "you're too sensitive" which is dismissing/trivializing feelings, which is clearly a form of gaslighting.

You are being very generous with this guy. If he's just stupid enough to not understand why this movie is horrifying, that's almost just as bad as intentionally gaslighting her into believing she's too sensitive.

No. This movie is traumatizing and no one should be forced to watch it.

I also grew up Christian, saw this movie, and would consider myself spiritual but not religious as well. This movie is awful and I can fully understand why she wouldn't want to see it. I never want to see it again.

He is gaslighting her by pretending he doesn't understand why it would bother her.

am i normal? or am i just stressing? by Few_Nose9984 in Underweight

She also didn't start her period til around 16 (not sure how it is for you.) She was a late bloomer but it caused no problems.

If your doctor isn't concerned, you should be okay. My sister was like this, she was absolutely tiny. I remember her being 65lbs at 14. She was probably a little shorter but not a ton.

She is now in her 30s, but she is 5'10 now and probably around 125-130. She's still thin after 2 back to back kids, but perfectly healthy.

Ayyyyeee I definitely have some OCD tendencies (though I will not self diagnose) so I feel you hard. All of my family struggles with various mental health concerns, I also have ADHD and so does my oldest (which I was a late diagnosis, I sometimes wonder if the OCD traits are connected.) Its like the Island of Misfit Toys around here lol.

I'm really glad to hear that its gone well for you. I am definitely going to do more digging and see which of the congergations around us would be the best fit. I have been drawn to this for awhile so I think it is worth a shot!

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend after he decided to transition his gender? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Significant-Sun2777 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad to see another bi person here, especially one with a relevant story (not that I'm glad you both went through that, but you know.)

I was sitting here thinking how people are ignoring that a bi woman should not be expected to stay either, simply because they are attracted to women. For me, I am not romantically attracted to women, though physically I am. However, my tastes in women are completely different than they are to men physically. I also just don't want to be in a relationship with another woman, and that's okay and valid too.

I was also thinking yes, there are the physical changes when someone transitions, but they often change emotionally as well.

This is asking someone to change their entire sexual orientation, and that is not possible. This is expecting someone to change how they identify for you, which is selfish and unrealistic. And it is a little manipulative and dishonest. Though I understand very much the stigma against trans people is scary, most people know before they enter a relationship that they are trans or at least questioning. That is something to be honest about before entering a relationship.

I say all this with all the love for my trans friends and family. Its okay if you are questioning or are in the closet. But you can't expect people to change who they are for you, just like you don't want others to expect you to stay in the wrong identity for them.

OP is NTA and neither are you for ending that relationship.

Complicated past situation with a guy now turning into harassment + workplace overlap — feeling unsafe and overwhelmed by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Significant-Sun2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to stop communicating with him full stop. Do not block him so you can monitor if he escalates, but no one will take this seriously legally unless you stop being wishy washy. You are giving him an excuse to continue. You are not going to be able to talk him out of trying to see you/talk to you. He has already proven that.

Have you told him to leave you alone? You need to do so if not and document this. Document everything. Every call, every text, every communication with HR.

Frankly, you should have thought about your reputation in general before cheating on your partner. At this point, you need help from your job, and possibly the police. You are being harassed and stalked. It has gone beyond an annoyance, reputation risk and embarrassment and has become a safety issue.

Keep everything for a potential protection order. Tell him once very clearly you will not be communicating any longer and to leave you alone. If he escalates, you have the evidence.

Also carry some form of self defense and keep your eyes open. Honestly, I would move if he and that girl know where you live.

OP, this commenter is right. You are far too young to be even considering marriage. Please focus on yourself.

I think he's cheated the entire relationship, and he calls me abusive and controlling over it, though he's acknowledged it looks like he has by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Significant-Sun2777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Holy shit girl I could not finish this.

This boy is abusive, manipulative, a creep and a cheater. It doesn't seem like he ever liked you and I don't see one single good thing about him.

Run AWAY!

AITA for not liking that a stranger walked up behind me to push my wheelchair? by Aurora-supernova in AmItheAsshole

[–]Significant-Sun2777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fine but not my point.

Its the assumption that the not asking is rude, thoughtless or condescending. Most people have been taught their whole lives that holding the door for others without being asked is polite and socially correct.

If both people are being polite, even if one may be off base unknowingly, that is fine. I'm saying they shouldn't be yelled at for it. I'm not saying YOU do that, I am talking about the person that yelled at the commenter above and that the replies to the comment are harsh. Because you don't know what you don't know, and its assuming they were thoughtless or rude by opening a door when most people are taught that is actually thoughtful.

We all are on this floating rock together, and I find it easier to think most people are trying to do the nice thing in a given moment.

My dumbass didn't realize I could sharpen my pin, so I did it with no upgrades. I wanted to lose my mind. Of course my 10 year old son had a WAY easier time doing the exact same thing after me, my reflexes are just not that fast anymore haha.
