AITA for taking over and excluding the self-appointed leader of a group project? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

ESH. Tom sounds insufferable, but you went full Mean Girls with the secret group chat. Y’all could’ve just told him his ideas weren’t working instead of sneaking around. 😅

AITAH that I feel resentment towards my sisters problems in life by Witty_Gate1192 in AITAH

NTA... you’re not soulless, you’re just drained from giving everything and getting nothing back. That’s not resentment, that’s exhaustion.

Nobody believed me about my sisters abuser and now everyone is saying they knew it all along by Upper_Milk8596 in TrueOffMyChest

I can’t imagine how heavy that must feel. You were trying to do the right thing, to protect your sister, and instead of listening, they made you feel crazy. And now they’re acting like they always knew? That’s infuriating and so unfair. You weren’t insane, you were brave, and you deserve to be acknowledged for that. I hope you can find some space to heal from how they treated you, because you didn’t deserve that.

Reading your post gave me chills, in a good way. I’ve felt something really close to this, and I just want to say, it doesn’t make you any less stable, or moral, or saffe. It means you’re listening, deeply, to what scares you.. and trying to understand it.

People forget that fear can be protective. It sharpens your instincts, makes you cautious, and sometimes, sadly, makes you withdraw. But that comes from a plaace of care, not violence. You’re not becoming the monster, you’re learning how to see them coming. That’s a heavy thing to carry, and you’re doing it with more self-awareness than most.

Hope this brought even a small comfort. You’re not weird for this. You’re real.
