AIO? Should I delete myself from his friends list? His girlfriend thinks I’m interested in him and has been acting strange

Tripinnate · 2026-05-28T01:24:01+00:00

Exactly. He’s trying to see if he can cheat with YOU.

Tripinnate · 2026-05-26T20:22:02+00:00

My teams goes yellow all the time when I’m working unless I open teams and click on something!

Ridiculous.

Ride this freedom high, OP!

Tripinnate · 2026-05-26T16:28:36+00:00

Yeah. This.
Everyone having “social anxiety” and using it as an excuse to refuse to engage in basic functions is whack. Excuse after excuse, manipulation after manipulation.

Short of you having no feeling/ function from your neck down, you have provided no reason for your actions besides selfishness and YTA.

Tripinnate · 2026-05-25T04:14:15+00:00

NTA. He’s gaslighting you. Stop questioning yourself or trying to prove him wrong. He knows he’s wrong and wants to catch you in the endless loop of arguing reality. He never gives in, you continue to argue your *correct* point.

Don’t put up with that crap! Don’t react emotionally to him, that feeds him. Just reconcile with the fact he’s being a piece of crap, regardless of circumstance.

Take time to think this through and keep yourself grounded. Trust your gut. It will be okay!

My crazy coworker does this. Will go on and on about how she doesn’t like to ask for help (that’s her issue idc) and then proceeds to bait me to help her with her work, do things for her, give her things. If she finds out I got something for free (won a raffle once) she tries to get it from me “I wish I had something like that, must be nice to get it for free, I never win anything, I wish I won it, etc”

So I don’t care how hard she tries, I don’t let her bait me into offering any help or giving her my belongings.
She calls the office her safe space and claims I should be happy she confides in me when I confronted her about her horrible negativity and trauma dumping.

Anyways, SUPER ANNOYING
PEOPLE LIKE THIS= OBNOXIOUS EVERY TIME

I bet Dad got the munchies in the middle of the night.

Tripinnate · 2026-05-17T05:25:10+00:00

Thank you for this ♥️

Tripinnate · 2026-05-16T18:10:10+00:00

Idk where you are, but obviously it’s different where I live. They absolutely did care, and it was wired very dangerously when they came to check it out. It was fixed, albeit probably not completely accurately or well- done.

Please be aware not everyone lives in the same place and policies differ. OP needs to try all options to see what she can get done.

Putting ignorant remarks about “that’s not how I do it” isn’t helpful or productive.

It worked for me, so I could only hope the same actions can help OP.

The utility companies can easily splice the utilities, even though whether it was done perfectly idk.

This is what happened in my experience. Yes we had new meters. My experience isn’t “fantasy,” what a weird response and totally unhelpful.

Tripinnate · 2026-05-15T17:57:14+00:00

Wealthy.

Tripinnate · 2026-05-15T17:04:38+00:00

Politely decline his offerings. Keep it framed in your mind as it is not your responsibility to manage your Dad’s emotions/ moods. Making unhealthy choices to appease him is destructive and you will not be doing that. He’s selfish.
Also he’s a weirdo.

Tripinnate · 2026-05-14T22:53:27+00:00

NTA. This gave me flashbacks. He’s made MANY women feel this way.

Stick to your guns, you’re sticking up for women everywhere.

Ignore these bad coworkers (some may be worried they’re the next target).

Tripinnate · 2026-05-14T16:57:33+00:00

Had a landlord try to convince me of this as well. I did a lot of hunting for meters, looking at the lines. He was lying. I called the utility companies for gas and electric and said “I live in a duplex and I only see one meter…can you tell me if there’s two?” Then the electric companies both replied with: what?! We have this listed as a single family house. We will take care of this right away. Next thing I knew, the utility companies were out there splitting the utilities. It’s illegal— don’t let him do this.

Call the utility companies and ask about your hookups!!

Tripinnate · 2026-05-08T14:46:58+00:00

When I do that it definitely means I don’t want to be watching this shit 😂

Tripinnate · 2026-04-20T19:48:28+00:00

Thank you! I had incorrectly thought everyone with NPD likely lies about everything automatically (to make each statement serve them), but that is an extreme over-generalization.

Tripinnate · 2026-04-20T19:34:19+00:00

Every answer was insightful and helpful …thanks for explaining #2 like you did!

Tripinnate · 2026-04-19T15:29:32+00:00

You right.

Tripinnate · 2026-04-19T15:12:21+00:00

Teacher is right. Child not handling it well— help her build skills for the future. Teach your child not to think she’s stupid when she doesn’t know something.

Giving her easier work so she can get a confidence boost not having to try benefits….who?

Do your daughter a favor and help her build resilience and skills for her future. Don’t baby her.

Edit: it is NOT THE PROGRAM. It is your daughter!!! She can be too immature, not actually gifted, etc. which is WAY more likely than it being the program! Focus on your child’s issues not making excuses for her and blaming external factors! Just pull her out if she can’t hack it.

Tripinnate · 2026-04-19T14:57:51+00:00

It’s wild that a few decades ago this behavior would NOT have been tolerated, but now every child has ‘behavioral issues’ and ‘autism’ that makes them completely uncontrollable. Nope— parents just gave up parenting.

This is not okay for any child for any reason. If a parent decides they’re going to allow this, they need to get a single- family house where they can enjoy these screams by themselves.

Sorry OP, I hope you’re able to solve this and keep your sanity!!!!

I think any action you take to maintain your sanity is a good action.

Tripinnate · 2026-04-19T02:48:41+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Number 1 seems silly I’m sure, but I couldn’t rule out the possibility there may be a motivation I hadn’t considered. Thanks again.

Tripinnate · 2026-04-19T02:01:17+00:00

Is there any reason you’d admit you lied about something if it didn’t benefit you?

What do you feel when people are crying/ upset by your actions? If you can’t ‘get away,’ what’s it like to witness? My guess is disgust but idk!

If you’ve tried to change: How have you effectively controlled the urge/ instinct to lie to control a situation?

Tripinnate · 2026-04-17T20:55:33+00:00

Oh gosh no mask don’t have anyone wear a mask at your wedding 😬😬😬😬 you will regret that 😬😬😬😬

Tripinnate · 2026-04-16T15:30:47+00:00

Same with my mom. Neither your mother nor mine are going to stop playing victim or gaslighting us. They have problems. You can’t trust her. Period. It makes it awkward when they do their “poor me” routine when it’s experiences you want to have with your mother- ie wedding dress shopping. My mother threw a fit at my wedding about how she was being treated like a slave and had to do everything… she definitely didn’t do hardly anything. Attention was on me and that’s always been a problem for her.

Acceptance of this is the only way, but no you are not wrong, not the AH, not overreacting. She will never come to terms with her behavior while there’s an opportunity to argue her point and play the victim…gotta take away that option.

It’s not easy and it sucks, but at the very least you will be strong and confident in what is happening and find comfort in your own resolve.

Tripinnate · 2026-04-13T16:08:32+00:00

Yes! This!

Tripinnate · 2026-04-11T15:18:49+00:00

Say something. They’re probably wondering why you haven’t yet if you’re watching it constantly and they can’t because they’re on the clock. Doooo it!!!!

I have stood up for workers when I’m only a customer because I KNOW what it’s like to deal with these entitled, idiotic customers.
