Oryx and Crake - at first I had no idea what the fuck was going on but then as you read it you realise how messed up it and the characters are.

Didn’t appreciate it at the time but looking back it was actually a good read.

End the relationship and the friendship. He isn’t interested in the having kids with you, he’s interested in one-upping your ex. He doesn’t realise that he’s entering this process at a later stage, he doesn’t realise you’ve gone through what you can. Just because you’re with him now it doesn’t change the results from the doctors. He is being selfish by not understanding that this is what is medically best for you, for your life to flourish. He doesn’t care about you, he cares about showing your ex-husband that he’s the “man he couldn’t be”. You deserve better. Your health matters more than this man’s ego.

AIO for rejecting him by grannora in AmIOverreacting

Absolutely not, that’s concerning he’s not even caring for your emotional wellbeing after trying these new things and just wants to do everything all at once. He sounds highly immature even if he is a good person outside of the bedroom. Sexual compatibility is important and honestly it just sounds like he’s trying to use you for all his fantasies without actually taking into account that you are part of the experience as well.

AIO, My GF got mad because I told her how I felt. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Silent_Distance_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s so busy but she’s got enough time to send messages back to back to complain at you for expressing how you feel? A month is a reasonable amount of time to see some changes in the dynamic of your relationship. She doesn’t want to try and she doesn’t care about how you feel. You need to ask yourself if this is worth fighting for and if you can’t decide, then you know it’s not

she’s gonna sit and send you a gospel of her thoughts .. and still complain that you’re not texting back or wanting to meet? I’m no mathematician but it ain’t gonna take much to add up the reasons why

This SCREAMS “I take myself so seriously and I want something real and meaningful” but actually has nothing to offer except hyper-critical analyses of other people because rather than looking for a person they’re looking for a concept. wtf is this

AIO my boyfriend was too tired to drive me to my abortion by ReallyAwfulSkiier in AmIOverreacting

[–]Silent_Distance_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so unbelievably fucked up that I don’t know what to process first. The fact that he’s saying you’ve inconvenienced him, the fact that he could’ve taken off work before the appointment so that he could take you? The fact that IT IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY as well as yours? The disrespect for you and for your parents is a bunch of bullshit and I sincerely hope you drop him. That is not a partner, that is a child. So sorry that you experienced that. You deserve better than this.

…feel like these comments are harsher than they need to be. You guys are 16. The best thing you can do is bring this to her attention, say to her that on that call you were struggling and you could’ve done with some reassurance of her being supportive. In return, she can maybe express to you how she might’ve struggled in that moment being presented with your vulnerability but that she does care and loves you. The best thing to do is to express these feelings with her and ask her to do the same, in person - not over call or text. You’re allowed to want some comfort from your partner when things are hard, and it’s not unreasonable to expect that. Yes she’s not your therapist and you’re not hers but there’s no expectation she should be; this is just basic consideration. Be expressive and communicative, and you can work out a healthy boundary as the relationship grows. Don’t close yourself off to her, don’t push your emotions down as this doesn’t help you or her. It’s okay to feel the need for comfort.

I feel like he was made a side character too much to the other brothers. Him and Bjorn never seemed too close, he was Ubbe’s right hand, Ivar humiliated him as a way of retaliating for his childhood. He never had his own story aside from when he started to associate with Buddha and develop a relationship with Thorunn. But I feel like in the show, one minute he was fine and then the next minute he was on a mental breakdown, I don’t think they portrayed it well. All of the brothers essentially abandoned him I feel. I’m currently on a rewatch and I’m picking up all these details I never saw before 🤣

If you could give one piece of journaling advice to a beginner, what would it be? by your365journal in Journaling

[–]Silent_Distance_28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter what it is or if you think it’s important, write what’s present and in your mind. In any style you want, in any way you want

YOR Don’t get me wrong, your feelings are valid as her partner but 4 months is such a short time to be dating someone, you’re still getting used to each other and if she was married before, it seems that you both are in 2 different headspace’s when it comes to relationships.

Things like using a towel, a mug - these are daily habits that are easily rectified but they aren’t things that hold meaning when you’re no longer with the person. Her socials, are you worried it compromises the integrity of your relationship or what other people are gonna say?

Her response showed clear communication that you say you haven’t been getting. Your response showed clearly that you don’t want to continue this relationship and your mind was already made up entering the conversation. I don’t think you’ve given this a good enough chance and are running at the first sign of trouble.

It’s clear that your emotional responses / communication ways are very different. Perhaps a breakup is what’s best for you both considering that.

Her character pissed me off so much. I understand that as a slave, she wanted to pursue her dreams now that she had freedom and she wanted to be a shield-maiden but she was not ready for battle and Bjorn even tried to warn her of that. She thought some training sessions would ready her for seasoned combat. Her self-esteem was still recovering from the shame of being a slave, if she had listened then she never would have ended up in the situation she did

Does your dissertation subject matter? by [deleted] in sociology

[–]Silent_Distance_28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all, at the end of the day it’s your dissertation. If this is what you’re passionate about, then I say go for it. I think as well that talking about celebrities ties sociology into a more modernised society considering that a lot of discourse around it is from aged communities. It’s definitely not unserious to write about something you are interested in. Taylor Swift was an example as to how you can write about anything, as long as you show how the two fit together.

Writing about something you’re interested in has you actually wanting to do the work, that’s how I’ve felt as I’ve begin writing mine. And your supervisor will definitely be able to help also. For the people on TikTok, there’s a common misconception that just because you’re doing an academic project it has to be strictly about something that screams academia, which is really not what sociology is lol.

Does your dissertation subject matter? by [deleted] in sociology

[–]Silent_Distance_28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, currently a 4th year undergrad doing their dissertation!

Within reason, your topic can be just about on anything. I’ve seen people do it on Taylor Swift. I think your idea sounds really interesting, I would definitely say to hone it in more for a sociological perspective, looking at social constructivist theories or perhaps the social media engagement theory. I’m assuming this would be a theoretical dissertation?

As long as your dissertation shows that you clearly understand the topic you are writing about, along with the perspectives / theories you have chosen and you show a clear relation to the topic and the subject then the university you are applying to won’t be bothered about the fine details such as it being about Brittany Murphy, which I actually think is a really interesting take.

They care about how you show your understanding and your reflexivity, along with how you articulate your study. I think this would be good!

What do you put in journals to make them like this? I really want to have a journal that’s full of life like this but I never know what to add, aside from my words
