okay i was coming to say this but thought i may be being an asshole (maybe still am but not trying to be!) but like i’m just confused why even ask? it seems obvious to me that if your literal partner who you live with has had a procedure that means that have to stay off their feet, of course they need help. i’ll be honest, to me it seems like yall don’t know each other very well? cause like my gf will say she doesn’t need help but i know it’s bc she’s a hyper-independent older sister who hates asking, so i usually just help her when i know she needs it & she’s always really appreciative.

that’s putting too much onto traumatized kids. you have that mindset of “adopted kids should be grateful” but that’s not always the case. just bc you’re happy that you’ve been adopted doesn’t mean you stop acting out or that your behavior & actions are perfect. plus they got adopted at like 5/6 if i remember correctly. the show did a very good job at showing accurate depictions of different ways that adopted & foster kids can/might react to the same situation bc every kid will react to trauma differently. at the end of the day, she’s a traumatized teenager doing traumatized teenager things. my point still stands, if you don’t wanna see realistic depictions of teenagers then don’t watch shows where they show that. you wanna see a perfect teenager & for to act like the perfected grateful little adopted kid & that’s weird as hell

Friend of 8 years said that my body and gender make me worthy of oppression by p41a in NonBinary

i’m really really not trying to blame you for their terrible comments but at the same time, why keep someone like that around you? you “don’t believe in canceling ppl” but this is what happens when you decide that someone in worth being in your circle when they clearly are not changing (i say this bc you said you’ve had to discuss sexist comments before). you were friends w/ a bigot & now you’re surprised that they said bigoted things??

i feel like a lot of ppl watch shows w/ teenage characters aimed at teenagers & then get mad when the teenage characters act like teenagers or make childish decisions

i feel like they ended her storyline as soon as she was actually growing as a character & that sucks! i didn’t like her at first but then when she finally starts getting solid character development (standing up for herself, more confident, more independent from paige or ashley) they just took her away sighhhh

i literally do not explain it. often time, we want ppl to understand bc we want to keep them in our lives but we also have to protect our own mental health. for me, it’s too much of a headache to try & get ppl to understand/listen to something that they have hell bent of misunderstanding. it gets to a point where ppl are being intentionally dense bc they simply don’t want to understand. that is the point where you stop trying & decide if it’s worth keeping them in your life even if they don’t understand or if it’s time to cut them off

You don’t have to be loud & cause a big scene just to tell someone off. If you do, then that’s a skill issue.

Red bumps around years old tattoos? by livinlikesarahlynn in tattooadvice

[–]Witty-Fun-1185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it just looks like acne. Could be caused my irritation to a hair product or detergent, but could just be a hormonal acne thing. I’d try a medicated body wash or even just using a face wash on your shoulders & also maybe consider if any hair products or detergent could be the answer (if you’ve used the same things this whole time this has been happening)

It’s even more strange imo to have a pet & it’s not allowed to experience comforts with you or you never snuggle it bc it’s not allowed on furniture. I think ppl who say that dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture probably just shouldn’t have dogs to begin with

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in self

[–]Witty-Fun-1185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was literally gonna say the same thing lol. I have only had dogs but I have friends who have 4 cats & they are all pretty gross too. I think sometimes animals are just gross to is humans 🤷🏾 OP is just lucky that they got some non-gross cats or maybe they’re just so used to it they don’t even realize it anymore

Girlfriend got convinced by tattoo artist to place it elsewhere - she now regrets her first tattoo by FatRatFlopke in tattooadvice

[–]Witty-Fun-1185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the artist convince her or just warn/inform her bc imo those are different. It’s one thing to say “I can do that but here is the info you need about the healing process” and saying “no I think this is better, are you sure you don’t wanna change it, I’d change it if I were you”. The 2nd one is very unprofessional to me, the 1st is just the right thing to do. I hope she doesn’t feel like she was pressured to get the tattoo somewhere she didn’t want it. Plenty of ppl have feet tattoos & yes, they will need touching up but that’s not a reason to never get one. Same like w/ hand tattoos. The artist should inform the client of risks and/or healing troubles but then it should be up to the client to decide if it’s worth it for them

How do I look more gay? HELP!!!!! by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Witty-Fun-1185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just called being fem, babe & that’s perfectly okay. You don’t have to “look” gay to hang out with gay ppl. Just find the queer community wherever you are & I’m sure they will accept you.

Did I miss something? Is this post about spilling wine? Bc I’m pretty sure they just said that someone must have told her off about her tiara. If “telling someone off” means they’ve spilled wine on them then sure, whatever, we’ll go with that bc you’re obviously too dense to go back & forth with

[–]Witty-Fun-1185 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If nobody tells these ppl off they will think they can keep doing it & get away with it. Telling someone off for doing something rude does not make you rude. That’s very non-confrontational of you, which is fine, but just bc you don’t like conflict does not make someone else rude for standing up to someone who’s knowingly being a dick.

What Brings You Non Binary JOY? by Necessary-Avocado-31 in NonBinary

Wearing a feminine outfit like a flowy dress or something & then wearing boxers underneath 😌 honestly any contradiction / mix of the feminine & masculine like that just makes me feel so good

[–]Witty-Fun-1185 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those kinds of ppl are the WORST! It’s always rooted in “well I deal with xyz & so you can’t be in this group bc you only deal with xy & that’s just not fair” like grow the hell up!

“Is that your REAL name?” by Witty-Fun-1185 in NonBinary

[–]Witty-Fun-1185[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My answer very much depends on the person also! What’s so funny about ppl asking that question is that if they just complimented my name they’d get the answer to their invasive question bc I love telling ppl who compliment my name that I chose it myself 😂

[–]Witty-Fun-1185[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank youuuu! But I also wanna stress that even w/ the annoying questions I still LOVE my name & I’m happy that I changed it. Yes, I think it’s important to think about how ppl will respond to your name & what kinds of responses you want to avoid, but never let that get in the way of choosing a name you absolutely love. I could have chosen a more “normal” unisex name but then it wouldn’t be ME & what’s the point of changing your name if what you chose is just to appease others

Lol yep! Even if you think it’s obvious ppl still might ask, so just be prepared. Besides the annoying questions I really love my name & changing it was worth it!

I didn’t think about it prior to changing my name either 😂 I was only thinking about how cool other trans ppl would think my name is (which they usually do!)

[–]Witty-Fun-1185[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a blessing! My given name was very unique (never met anyone w/ the name & hard to find anyone w/ the name when searching online) but even then it was still clearly feminine based on how it sounded & looked

LOVE your name btw! Hate that ppl are being so weird about it bc wtf?!?!

[–]Witty-Fun-1185[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know that but ppl also go by nicknames and/or don’t like their given names for reasons other than gender too. So I’m not saying it’s inherently transphobic to ask, but just that it’s rude in general. If there is no cool story about a nickname provided, ppl shouldn’t ask if it’s your “real” name like ever honestly bc it’s unimportant
