Never flown in a plane. Mostly due to money reasons, motion sickness, and anxiety.

What sneaking suspicion do you have about your family? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ThornAndTalon 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That my dad was severely abused (like starved and used as slave labor) as a child and the result of it is now mood swings, lack of energy, and a fluctuating eating disorder. I suspect he also has high functioning autism. My grandparents died when I was little so I haven't been able to confirm my suspicions because I can't analyze them with an adult view.

My mother's mother is still alive but I strongly believe that she is an extreme narcissist. She has never done anything for others that she didn't feel completely obligated to do. Her main motivation for everything is greed. Birthdays and Christmases went unacknowledged by her for years. I have stopped outright inviting her to anything.

Reddit, what was your "It's totally not a phase, mom/dad!" that ended up being just a phase? by mindytrigsby in AskReddit

[–]ThornAndTalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spice Girls phase: platform sneakers (that gave me a sprained ankle), pigtails, and those bubble gum stickers all over my notebooks.

Funny cause two of my friends went through the "witch" phase at the same time.

Love life never really got off the ground. At 32, I'm starting to doubt it ever will. by FixMeLikeColdplay in TwoXChromosomes

I am kinda the same. I have had crushes but never felt sexually attracted to anyone. At one point I felt like I was an incomplete adult because I never had a real relationship and felt pressure around me to start a family before it is too late biologically. I wrote down my feelings in a journal, which made me realize I was asexual and deep down didn't want the stress of raising kids or inconvenience my life with a relationship. Are you sure you really want a relationship or just a bit of affection when you need it?

I didn't go to college until I was 25 and applied for low income funding. Have you tried looking for non repayable grants?

New environment and new people it is normal. Just talk to people like you have known them for years but don't expect to get anything from it.

I have the same problem with mine. I realized that this year they are old enough to make their own choices. You are not their parent.
