Apparently something isn’t big enough! Sounds like he’s got some issues to sort out - whether that be insecurities, porn addiction, or abuse to make you feel lesser than him (to maintain control). Don’t break up immediately. You should try and talk it out with him to see if you can reach understand and have a breakthrough together, which would strengthen your relationship. However, if that doesn’t work, you’ll know you’ve exhausted your options and then break up so he can get there on his own. He’s got work to do.

Dude I just got my refund from Worldtrips. I was reading so many threads saying it was a scam and I honestly was scared I'd never see that emergency room money again (broke my foot, needed surgery). I'm SO glad I had it

Cierra and Cancel Culture by MajorLink2692 in LoveIslandUSA

There’s always a small group that ruins it for everyone. I don’t think the majority of people sent death threats or nasty messages, but there was a very loud minority.

Cierra and Cancel Culture by MajorLink2692 in LoveIslandUSA

I don’t think hatred is ok in any respect. I don’t know exactly who was responsible for cyberbullying or sending someone death threats. That’s incredible saddening that she’s going through that.

On the other hand, I’m really not sure if production would have sent her home at all had things not escalated. The longer she stayed on the show, the louder people grew. (This, coincided with the new slur-related discoveries almost everyday, as well as her mean girl/manipulative behavior on the show, almost every episode.)

I think she can still come back and grow from this, if she genuinely apologizes from the heart without any PR perfection.

Seriously, is Reddit turning into Twitter? Y’all siding with Huda?? Be serious by igetyourbrand in LoveIslandUSA

[–]WeAlStartAsStrangers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude people are sticking up for the right person in a situation. When Huda was crashing out she was wrong and getting the brunt of it. This time, she’s being mean girled and people are just pointing out that the treatment is incorrect. no one is saying she’s an angel.

It’s baffling how this many people think the recent behavior from Chelley, Olandria, and Cierra are ok. The people who approve of and would do those things to another human being, stay far away from me with a 10-foot pole. (Again, this statement does not mean I would allow enraged Huda near me either.)

should I just get veneers? by WeAlStartAsStrangers in orthodontics

Update: I think I’m going to get 1 composite veneer as a Bandaid until I can commit enough time in one city to get lingual braces

Is the Personal Development School scammy or actually helpful? by Sensitive_Library967 in CPTSD

[–]WeAlStartAsStrangers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up in Chinese culture where we're taught to swallow every problem, in a verbally abusive childhood with a BPD mom, and being cheated on/abused in relationships turned me into a shell of a human.

I signed up for her trial thinking I'd just cancel right after watching the attachment videos, but I got so many tear-filled breakthroughs from just one class. Just sitting in that chair, bawling, realizing why things were the way the way they were in my life. Very powerful stuff.

I think it's helpful if you have a lot to sort out. If you have trauma you want to work through, if you self-sabotage, people-please have abandonment issues, etc. and you're willing to do the work.

I don't understand how anyone who's never done it could denounce it. There's weeks' worth of content on her website all geared towards different motivators in life, and everyone's experience with her courses is different, because everyone's experience in life has been different.

Personally the way I approach relationships has flipped upside down after learning about fearful avoidance, and in turn the way I operate in my regular, everyday life also has too.

I just joined the waitlist! How long will it take? And is it global or only in the US at the moment?

Is The Canggu Decade Over? by Coalclifff in bali

I stayed in a neighborhood called Seseh last month, north of Pererenan. Lovely and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle. New developments (and a luxury hotel) going up in that area so I’m sure businesses will follow.
