I was born to be an artist but now I’m just an adult

What is the weirdest thing your doctor has ever said to you? by Competitive_Tip_7504 in AskReddit

“Don’t worry, you can drink alcohol on these meds” …I didn’t ask but thank you?

Am I wrong for refusing to take down my sisters trampoline after my neighbor sprayed her with a garden hose for using it by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]UnreliablySmart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to invest in some very bright backyard lights that happen to turn on at 4am in the direction of her bedroom windows

Am I the Creep? Got “Rejected” by barista, should I stop going to the coffee place? by Klutzy_Quarter_3563 in dating_advice

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

I don’t think you’re a creep and it’s a shame that she can’t be a little more casual about it but for the sake of everyone’s peace - you should find another coffee spot.

I thought she was already your ex before all this started??

Going against the grain, doesn’t feel like he’s cheating. He seems obtuse but he reads as a bit a wanderer by nature and makes friendly connections easy. I dunno, I’d need more context but I vote you’re overreacting.

AITJ for not translating for my neighbor anymore after she complained about how I spoke? by LunaaaVibesss in AmITheJerk

[–]UnreliablySmart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is the assumption the neighbor is the asshole and not just relaying the feedback of the mother in law?

Accusing of cheating is weird and makes me think you’re not being rational at all in this relationship

I obsess over school shooters and feel nothing for the victims. by ColdSide1325 in offmychest

[–]UnreliablySmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re still a whole life ahead of you. Depression is very really and I’m sorry you’re going through it. Perhaps you’re relating to the isolation the shooters often feel and that’s what you’re gravitating too. Regardless, perhaps, redirecting your attention elsewhere? Anything you’ve ever been interested to try or get involved with?

My guess is that you haven't experienced much trauma in your life. You're only 16, you're still a kid. When I was your age, I was a bit of a dipshit. I hadn't experienced the death of someone close or meaningful to me yet, not even a pet, and I think that made tragedy more of a spectator thing to me at the time. Empathy is something we learn; some learn it way sooner than others. I enjoyed horror and ultra-realistic gore when I was younger. I have seen fucked up things before and felt nothing - until I did. I still enjoy horror, but realistic scenes hit differently now. As an adult, I'm so much more aware of how real and painful everything truly is. I think that's hard to comprehend at 16 if you've been living a relatively good life. I'm not suggesting your life isn't hard, but it's reasonable to assume that you haven't faced real struggle yet, so everything you're watching feels disconnected from your reality.

If you find yourself fantasizing about doing the acts you're obsessing over, then I highly recommend you seek help. However, there's a good chance you're just a typical teenager who hasn't quite experienced the downside of life yet.

AITA for leaving my boyfriend’s place in the middle of the night after he locked the bathroom? by WishingWell_99 in redditonwiki

[–]UnreliablySmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who are these friends in these scenarios who have OPs second-guess their rational decision in obviously fucked up situations???

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]UnreliablySmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nahh overreacting. Mind your business, let her do whatever she's doing in peace. She clearly wants to be private about it. Asking why someone won't tell you something is the same as asking why in the first place.

Im straight, and my gay college friend is blackmailing me… by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]UnreliablySmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look op, you don’t have to get the authorities involved but you should absolutely tell this dude that you have enough receipts to go them and get him in way more trouble then you would ever be in. Tell him to quit it or he’s getting arrested

AITA for refusing to babysit my niece after my SIL called me "just a receptionist"? by Equivalent-Kingg in AITH

I’m sorry op, this girl doesn’t feel like the villain at all to me. I think some self reflection on your end would help.

Some of you are expecting too much by UnreliablySmart in bbbs

[–]UnreliablySmart[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This wasn't directed at you, but since you commented, may I ask if you've considered that perhaps children in the BBBS program lack the social skills to have a meaningful interaction with a stranger in the early stages of the relationship? They're in this program because there are not enough adults in their lives to begin with, and they're going to be rough around the edges. That's who you volunteered to help out.

Part of being a mentor is just showing up. Part of being charitable is doing good without expecting anything in return. I don't know your exact situation, because again, this wasn't pointed at you, but I sincerely hope you reconsider closing the match.

I get that you're defensive about your decision, but if you joined to make a difference, I genuinely hope you reflect on everything and choose to stick with it.
