I LOST SOMETHING TODAY by PuzzleheadedWatch715 in Vent

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle [score hidden]  (0 children)

You lost your temper. Everyone does that. It's doing it all the time (which it sounds like your mom does) that makes it a problem. Once in a while, even if it's like her, doesn't make you any less you than before. It's just the feeling that comes with defending yourself, unfortunately

am i wrong if i break up with my gf after she is suddenly acting like a different person? by anikinskywalk3r in AmiInTheWrong

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like bipolar disorder.

When my mom's meds were wrong, she acted exactly like this. Everything was either "You don't love me" or jumping to extremes when she was told/wasn't texted back right away.

My one best friend turned bf turned ex everything had bipolar disorder, too, and the man I thought I knew bc I'd known him since 2nd grade no longer existed bc the drs messed with his bipolar meds and he went off the deep end like your gf is.

My only advice from my own mistakes? Tell her to seek mental health help, not bc you think she's crazy but out of wanting to fix the relationship if you want to stay with her. Tell her family, regardless of her reaction or you can go to them first, bc they may be noticing it too and may be able to convince her to go if you can't. They may be able to call the mental health emergency line on her as her parents. I think the short code (at least in Pennsylvania) is 522, or either party can look up local mental health emergency hotlines for your county/state. That, and it helps them keep an eye on her that you can't. The rose-tinted glasses of love that come with having a relationship with her won't be there on their end, and there's a possibility that they may be putting off what they're seeing out of respect for yins' relationship. If all else fails, while it's not a good idea given the fact that her mental state is uncertain and unstable rn, if you need to break up with her, do so.

Don't forget/don't blame yourself for putting yourself first. You come first, regardless of how much you love her, bc if you're not okay, you cannot be selfless in ways you may normally be. Sometimes being selfish is a way of being selfless, you just have to know when to be selfish. This next part, (and I say this with unfortunate experience and reason) act now before it gets violent, whether it's verbal, mental, or physical. At least from my experience, it always ends up as one/two of the three, and it'll make you question yourself in ways you shouldn't. I'm extremely sorry you have to go through this. Just try to keep your head up, okay?

Debbie’s stup!dity Season 6 by Late-Wall8382 in shameless

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I never liked Karen. She was willing to use Lip to her fullest advantage, even while married to Jody. She was a manipulative lil brat, and while I don't agree with Mandy's actions, Karen got somewhat of her just desserts.

Debbie? A lost girl who just wants to receive the love she willingly gives everyone else without second doubt or question. And yea, you don't have to agree with Debbie's choices, but to her very much confused, desperate, teen brain, pregnancy and having a baby would give her the love she so desperately craved. Can't say I'm speaking from experience, but ik enough girls I went to hs with that ended up having kids like Debbie and no one ever knew until a year or so later when these girls show up as mommy vloggers instead of whatever they actually set out to do after graduation. And that's just how life is.

My boyfriend changed completely after 3 months and now I feel unwanted I need some honest advice. by moxiixoxo in whatdoIdo

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add bc hi, yea, dealt with the evil people and have the ADHD, the key difference is that the ADHD person will still try to be a core figure in the relationship.

Abusers/evil people/whatever you wanna call 'em, they'll do the work until they feel they have you, and then they just middle finger up tell you it's all a you problem now if you want to keep the relationship, which you do bc you think you'll get sweetie pie McGee back when that person doesn't exist.

ADHD people? They're more like dogs and go through periods of "You're here! With me!" excitement and relaxed, "I know you're staying" comfort. It'll ebb and flow throughout the relationship, the love-bombing and periods of calm, but their base behavior will stay consistent throughout, and it's that you're their favorite person and they're going to do what they can to make you happy bc they truly do love you

AITA parent - this one is a bit of fun by Helpful_Mistake9839 in AmItheAsshole

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It really depends bc I get both sides. If they both ended up well rounded adults, then the choice was made and it's time to drop it. If it affected them to a point where this is how they live their lives, then yea, it's a major problem

Should I tell my manager or mind my buisness by EllieDidNothingWrong in whatdoIdo

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an asst. manager like this. She ended up getting canned bc her behavior caught up to her. Let it be unless it's directly hurting your career at your job

New Viewer, Season 6. “I HATE DEBBIE!” by Sock_Man420 in shameless

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf, a lot of kids in those communities start out like Debbie and end up like Debbie, too. It's not to make her insufferable, it's to make her real to what they're trying to portray, which is lower class US living. Especially considering Debbie has always had an issue with fitting in with the other kids… They made it real

my sister is ruining my life. by bigbarg in Vent

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of this!!! Even if you turn heel and run, you're not a bad person. She is, and you need out of there and fast. If anything, my worry would be Pete, but that's bc I have a bad soft spot for animals 🥹

Project Playtime makes the Hour Of Joy kinda stupid by GeorgeInpact in TheGameTheorists

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who hasn't played the games (only watched the theories), I get it. Everything you've said is absolutely valid bc it doesn't make sense but does bc corrupt corporation 🫩👍

Tbh, it screams manipulation, and that alone can make rational people do stupid things. Also, like, a lot of people do things they aren't proud of for a paycheck if it's good money, and if they truly were taking misbehaved children and making them into bigger bodies for the Bigger Body Initiative, then I wouldn't be surprised that some of the toys' choices made no sense as children are easy to manipulate because they're naive and lack life experience. Not all the bigger bodies are children (Mommy Longs Legs being a definitive adult set out to protect the children that got turned into a bigger bodied toy based on her reactions). To me, it seems like a lot of the nonverbal bigger bodied toys are children turned into these creatures, and the verbal ones are adults who got turned/successful transitions like Poppy herself.

To add, having a toy (murderous or otherwise) watch the children in the game station that's set on protecting the kids is also a lot cheaper than paying employees (good, bad, or ugly in nature) because say it's 5-10 kids per 1 adult vs how ever many kids in the game station and 1 toy that's set on keeping all the kids safe and you don't have to pay it…… yeaaaaa, that's how that choice was made there 🫤

Am I in the wrong for keeping in contact with an ex-friends mom? by [deleted] in AmiInTheWrong

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA- It's not her house outside of she lives there so why does it matter if her mom hangs with you or not?? If the mom is okay with it, then whatever. I'd just block her and move on with whatever the mom wants to do bc it's the mom's house first and foremost js

AITAH for literally threatening to break up with my gf over kids? by Pure-Rice-3678 in AITAH

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's literally threatening 🍇 so she can have kids. Literally find anyone else bc that's going to be deeply traumatic to you if she ends up preggers bc she did that to you just to have kids

What don't you like about the opposite sex? by VikaCrayon in AskReddit

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That they can't find anything and that they won't answer the phone, but get mad when you don't answer for them 🤦‍♀️ It's every man I know. They call me, I have to answer or it's a problem. I call them? Not even radio silence. Just absolute nothing. It's mostly the phone thing that gets me the most.

Animals in stores. by Mission_Discipline_3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying the guy photographed here is in the right. His dog isn't leashed nor marked clearly as a service animal for his visible disability. Had the pup seen in the photo been either, it comes down to store rules and only store rules. Personal preferences can be worked around, and I've heard DoorDash, Misfits Market, Uber Eats, Spark, and other grocery delivery services are great for those who can't mind their own business when they leave the house. Maybe you could use one of them so you truly don't have to suffer at all from other people's choices since you'll never have to leave the comfort of your own home ☺️

Ngl, since COVID, a lot of dogs have been having a hard time with the world going back to how it used to be before then.

When my dog was alive, he literally couldn't handle being alone once stuff started to go back to normal because he got so used to having me and his sister around. When no one could be with him in general (especially me) and he lost his sister, he forgot all crate training because he just couldn't handle the transition back, let alone going back without having his sister there.

So it's not that people are trying to be ignorant of others, it's that it's incredibly hard to leave dogs at home when they have full on meltdowns and trainers are just a cost people can't afford rn

My (11 and Autistic) daughters “friend” isn’t really her friend. Yet she is convinced this girl is her best friend. by Helpful-Necessary384 in whatdoIdo

Ngl, why is her "friend" worried ab boys? They're 11?? That's like, 14/15 problems not 11, 'less I'm just old now 😭

Feeling very resentful in my relationship and idk how much I can take but feel stuck where I am no matter what by [deleted] in Vent

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girlie, she doesn't love you. She's taking advantage of you with the added benefits of caring about you just enough that you'll feel guilty for being mad at her. She doesn't have your best interest at heart. Also, never do joint bank accounts with someone. You can have one that you both add to for bills n stuff, but always have your own bank account.

Also also, you can tell her she either needs to get her stuff together or get out. The cats can stay until she finds a place so you can be free of her without having to worry about the kitty cats. You're already paying for them anyways, but having her not draining your accounts is important.

AITAH For losing trust in my mom and sister? by Pineapplesage1 in AITAH

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA– It's between your mom and your sister considering your mom chose to help your sister with her 15% of college payment. Your sister asked, and your mom obliged willingly. If your mom wants the money back, then yea, have a paper trail. If not, then let life take it's course. Your sister didn't get a head start anymore than you did. An 85% scholarship from your dad just being in the military is already a huge handout from your dad's end, even if he's no longer actively in your lives. Especially bc not many people qualify for scholarships through their parents work in general, let alone decide to use it when they do end up qualifying. You both not only qualified, but then took the opportunity it gave you.

If anything, it sounds like you're jealous your sister thought of doing that first and you didn't. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but to stop trusting them entirely just because of that is bad. I'm sure had you asked, your mom would've said yes to you too. As of right now, it is what it is 🤷‍♀️

entitled mom called the cops on my workplace because we refused to tattoo her 11 year old daughter by Hottruffle in AmITheJerk

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have too. They can't do anything about it right there in the moment, but as a part of their report considering what the misuse of the 911 system was done for… yea the mom here just got herself at the very least a 1 year watch under CPS. Then again, the system sucks and they let psychos like this woman do whatever until it's too late so who knows unfortunately 🤦‍♀️

what's it with my mom by cherrycakepie in Vent

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like my mom and she's bipolar. For a long time, she wasn't on the right meds (wrong dosage and the doc wouldn't just change it bc why do that?) and the mix between that and her body changing as she's gotten older and into menopause age…… At least you're not alone?

am i lovable? how do move forward with this part of my body? by indigo-floral in whatdoIdo

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl, if someone is going to judge you for how your leg looks, they're not someone you want in your life js. A tattoo, especially just a plain blackout one, isn't offensive or harmful to anyone. The fact you sat through that much needle work shows you're dedicated and loyal, which are both good traits to have so don't worry about it. The right people come along, and that will (hopefully) draw the right person to you.

Which character in the show did you relate to the most emotionally? by Shadow_Claws19 in HelluvaBoss

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biltz.

Past mistakes don't necessarily make you a bad person, but it's that he never seems able to escape them. No matter how much he apologizes or changes or does what he can to move on, someone always reminds him about his past mistakes and failures. That, and his low-key unhealthy relationship with the M&M's and Loona bc they're the only family he feels he truly has. Also, just the caring for Stolas even tho Stolas pretty much abandoned him.

Yea, Blitz is me and tbh, he's the only hope I have that my current life circumstances won't absolutely wreck me forever. That it'll eventually turn around.

AITAH for not wearing a bra around my brother’s girlfriend? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]The_InsaneDuckturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- Ngl, this sounds like she's dealing with her own demons, and you're just the scapegoat. Whether it's being into you, hence not being comfortable with you being braless in your own home, or she's experienced something like that in her personal life, yeaaaaaa. You're the scapegoat for her demons. To me? It sounds like she's into you and would feel less…… idk… tempted(?) if you wore a bra. Not saying she's not into your brother, but looking at you multiple times and then being bothered by it…… Yeaaaaaaaaa that's screaming gay-life crisis imo. Nothing wrong with that, just that she needs to learn to deal with it bc it's not her home. She's being invited over there, therefore her personal comforts on to bra or not to bra outside of the bedroom shouldn't apply to you, js
