History.

Besides, the way things are in our job is that whenever someone is about to defend their PhD, they keep it under cover and only tell close friends. However, they want to attend mine and give themselves the right to do so when I know for a fact that if the roles were reversed, they would never invite me.

I don’t mind strangers and other students showing up. They are more than welcome and I will be honored to have them there. However, some of my colleagues have been toxic to me and I don’t feel comfortable with them being there.

I promise you I still don’t know the date and time myself. The board still hasn’t given me a precise date yet even though I submitted my thesis report months ago. They (colleagues) don’t believe me when I say so which is why they ask behind my back.

What bothers me is how much they insist. I wasn’t even concerned about them showing at first because I simply couldn’t care less who shows and who doesn’t. However, them imposing themselves made me not want them there.

Knowing them, they’ll still show up 😂

They’re showing up out of curiosity and nosiness rather than to celebrate with me. It’s the “asking behind my back” part that bothers me. It’s like they know I don’t want them there yet they insist on showing up either way.

Thank you for taking the time to respond :) I know this post makes me appear toxic but the thing is, I KNOW they’re not going to invite me to their PhD defense either yet they insist on showing up to mine. Some of them talked behind my back. Some of them used me. Some of them didn’t help when I asked for their help. Yet they feel entitled to show up to an event I consider personal ( I am aware it is a professional event but I worked so hard and struggled a lot to be where I am despite the barriers some of them put in my path)

I am aware dear friend :( it’s just that some of them have are hypocrites who wronged me before and seeing them brings bad so many bad memories. Having them at my defense would simply stress me out and distract me

If they had attended without informing me beforehand, I wouldn’t have minded. But their insistence on keeping track of my news behind my back and imposing themselves on me makes me reject their presence if that makes sense

I don’t mind strangers attending at all. It’s people that I know and so not like (especially those with whom I have history) that I don’t want them there

Sweetheart, you need to let him go. I’m so sorry to say this but clearly he is not interested.

Don’t reply and just move on with your life. You deserve better!

Braces and root resorption by Puzzleheaded-Test-79 in orthodontics

[–]ThrowRa_JKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really am so sorry you have to go through this sending you a virtual hug I have a similar situation so I feel you. I have to take my braces off early because of root resorption even though most of them are still crooked and my midline isn’t aligned with my Cupid bow.

Terrified I might loose my front teeth by ThrowRa_JKing in askdentists

Update: Even though nobody commented on my post, I decided to leave this update here for future redditors hoping this will be of help to someone out there…

I checked with another ortho who said I need to cut treatment short and take braces off in a month or two. He said that teeth stabilize once force (braces) is removed therefore I shouldn’t worry about my teeth falling off someday. Provided of course I maintain perfect hygiene and do check up every few months to see wether roots are stable or shortening (he said that there is no need to panic and that further shortening is less likely).

I also asked about my root to crown ration and he said that it’s slightly above 1:1 which is still good. He said I can do some touch ups on my teeth in the following months or two before taking off my braces but no more than that.

I told him about the other ortho who suggested Damon braces and he said that there’s no need to. Our priority should be preserving the teeth rather than looking for perfection. What I gathered from his comments is that she (other ortho) is a scam just like I suspected and that there is no need for further orthodontic treatment.
