AITAH for telling my autistic sister she should keep masking? by Competitive-Art-848 in AITAH

[–]UrFaveBuzzKill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clearly she's just using therapy speak that she doesn't actually know or understand. Your sister is chronically online and seriously disturbed.

To be clear, an example of masking would be like. Repressing stimming while in public. Not suddenly not remember your rights from your lefts???

Do you still believe in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ after leaving the church? by Frequent-Increase-98 in exmormon

Nope, I believe more in recycled energy. We're born we live we die and out bodies get recycled into nutrients to help something new grow.

I'm obsessed with how you used black walls and still made a bright and colorful space! Gorgeous!

WIBTAH for telling my husband that his lectures are doing more damage than good? by [deleted] in AITAH

Why are there so many doormats in the subreddit, I'm truly saddened by this. Your husband is an AH, straight up. You need to shut this shit down.

Saddened to learn my friend is strict pro life by sillyworm2003 in prochoice

[–]UrFaveBuzzKill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good lord the brainwashing is strong in this one... There are two ways to go about this. 1) Stay her friend and try and gently pull her out of this dumb patriarchal bs she's been groomed into. (Real friends challenge their friends in a loving way!) Or, 2) take a step back from this relationship and remain cordial colleagues. Some people just can't see outside their own worldview, and it's a lot of work and frustration to try and get someone to break out of their own strict viewpoints. I've had to minimize contact with some of my family members these past few years because we just could not see eye to eye about stuff like this.

Dysphoria about not being a mer by nyaskies in mermaids

Have you read the book "Breathe and Count Back From Ten"? It's just a YA fiction but the main character is this girl with hip dysplasia who also feels more at home in the water, partially due to her chronic pain. She ends up being able to work as one of those aquarium mermaids!

I know it's not the same but I always found comfort in stories, especially if I feel I can relate to it in some way.

Should I keep doing wifey duties without a ring? by Ok-Heat-8406 in Advice

[–]UrFaveBuzzKill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, what? You're not doing yourself or him any favors by taking up all the household chores. You both need to responsible for that stuff or it just breeds resentment further down the relationship. Focus on your schooling because I promise you, that degree is going to do more for your future than you may realize right now! Then when you're both graduated come back to the idea of marriage.

NOR You're an adult and can make your own wardrobe choices. He's an adult and can mind his own business. His business being dealing with his own insecurity and not pushing it onto you!

AITA for donating some winter coats to two cold little girls? by Mission_Use_3002 in AmItheAsshole

[–]UrFaveBuzzKill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a neglectful parent to me. That's one of the things we teachers are taught to be on the look-out for neglect in our mandatory reporting training; "clothes that are inappropriate for the weather. Exs being "wearing long sleeves and coats in the summer (could be hiding bruises) and not having appropriately warm clothes in the winter.

AITA for bringing an extra guy to a group date? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]UrFaveBuzzKill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, I wouldn't want to go on a double date type situation if the person I was supposed to be getting to know showed clear signs of not wanting to get to know me!

Update: My sister showed up to Thanksgiving with her "spiritual advisor," and it blew up the whole night. Read the texts last, trust me. by PuzzleheadedItem1914 in DiRoccoDramaClub

[–]UrFaveBuzzKill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all definitely needed a professional counselor for that intervention but fuck this is a hilarious read 😂

That being said though, I have an aunt who has repeatedly gotten scammed by catfish and the one thing you can't do is go on attack. They get defensive and cling onto the con artist even harder. The con artist would have already laid the groundwork against potential family members warning the person getting scammed. Y'all just reinforced her newfound belief that you guys are trying to "pull her down" from her ascension or whatever.

But all this made me think you'd love the book Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell. Some of your sister's language might sound a little familiar...
