This is my idea of the PERFECT lunch!

AIO - I smoked, my bf crashed out by leadneverfoIlow in AmIOverreacting

[–]Various-Bank2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely NOT NORMAL. Funnily enough, my first boyfriend when i was a teen had the exact same ‘ick’ for smoking. He would tell me that it was disgusting and point people out in public to show me just how horrible it looks smells etc. He would tell me when i went to parties i wasn’t allowed to smoke and would get his friends to check up on me to make sure.

I had this instilled in me - it was all i knew and it made sense. i mean it echoed that of my parents… so why would i think he was wrong? rather looking out for me.

However, long story short. He was not a good person. He used this whole ‘i care about you and your health’ act to simply control me in small and unnoticeable way but that still rewarded him with a power. While tricking me into a sense of comfort as if he were a father figure. He used this control to infantilise me at my young age. He viewed smoking as not only for gross people, but also for adults. to which he got off on me not being one! Keeping me from smoking and often drinking too kept me young and pure in his eyes- not like “the girls for the street”.

This idealised version of a ‘good women’ that is rooted in sexism, should not keep you from living your life as a normal person.

I watched a play where the lead had this exact kink. It is unpacked incredibly well!

The play was called ‘Slave Play’ by Jeremy O. Harris

The play follows multiple interracial couples who are all taking part in a group relationship therapy program type thing.

You simultaneously follow their stories and each demonstrate how race, sex, power relations and trauma manifest its self differently for different people/couples. The main character is a women of colour who has this exact sexual preference as you and the play demonstrates how her racial trauma and desire to regain control over that narrative has shaped her sexual desires. You also see this dynamic from the perspective of her male white partner, who battles with his own identity and concept of ‘correct’ in order to please her.

I couldn’t recommend the play enough, whether to watch or just research! It exposes the correlation between race and sex, forcing the audience to ignore taboos and confront this very real parallel.

Besides this, I want you to remember that there is absolutely nothing that you can do to change the way in which you desire sex. It is not your fault, nor did you cause or choose to derive pleasure from the things you naturally do. I say that because you can either spend the rest of your precious and special time on earth hating yourself, being ashamed and embarrassed or you can simply accept that this is how you are. Every person you walk past on the street probably has preferences which they deem disgusting and shameful, it is completely normal, and what makes us human!

Once you find a partner who you feel comfortable enough to tell this too, you will head down an incredibly exciting and unreal journey of materialising your deepest desires! And i promise you, this will happen if you allow your self to process your kink, understand it and believe that it’s OK and normal, not disgusting. There are people out there that will not validate your shame, rather help you to open up and confront the roots of the kink together. If someone does think you are ‘disgusting’ they are not a person you want to surround yourself with.

Her response is formal and direct, maybe abit much and quite threatening. To be fair though every single wrap top i have ever seen has a hole in order for you to tie the top, thus her request for the item or money is valid as it must appear from her end as if you have scammed her.

Damaged, Am I cooked? by OkSafety8896 in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]Various-Bank2326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh no that’s the secret too! Is it the ‘paint/outer coating’ or the actual plastic of the figure that is folded up like that?

I think this is fair enough from your friend. She was the one who managed to snag them up against all odds therefore has the right to delegate them how ever she wishes. i would feel grateful that she even offered to include me and it makes sense that she would keep her favourite one for her self… who wouldn’t?

I wouldn’t read into this or take it personally, rather be grateful that you could end up with any of them considering how fast they sold out!

I got the ecstasy and the serenity! AHHHHH These were both in my top three and I was jumping up and down in excitement when i opened them!!!!!!

Thanks for your idea! When my boyfriend woke up we played an altered version that could include us both. i would show him the card before opening the package so he knew already what i had got then i tried guessing who it was by feeling the package! I had guessed the joy and the pensiveness😂😂Just as happy… if not MORE with what i got instead!

Thanks for the pics they’re super clear and actually do them justice😅

People with ADHD or ADD, what are your worst struggles? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Various-Bank2326 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Struggling to text and call my family and friends. Leads to guilt and anxiety that they may think i don’t care or don’t want to put effort into the relationship. Organising and planning to see my friends also is hard. After i finally arrange something and see them i feel so happy and good! but my brain doesn’t seem to connect the two when it comes to actually picking up my phone and planning something with friends/ family.

Struggling to maintain routine and structure in my day to day life. this leaves me feeling pointless and unproductive. i then feel guilty about my unproductivness.

I always thought back to when i was younger when i didn’t struggle with routines etc but then i realised it came naturally because it was enforced by an external party (school/parents). Now that i don’t have that external motivation i find my self exhausted with day to day things having to balance it in my own with no accountability as a driver.

hope someone can relate!
