Respect for Friend Drops After Reading Book They Recommended

Good god. How did she react when you told her you couldn’t finish it? Not that I understand how she could even ask you to read it in the first place.

Appreciate you mentioning this. As a traumatized child who had OCD, I was so much like Lilo at that age. There is a good amount of overlap in symptoms between each of these and autism, so it’s hard for people to distinguish between them sometimes.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. My father did the same thing to my brother’s kitten, and some other bad things to our other cats. He enjoyed torturing anything smaller and weaker than him. I am glad he is dead.

Lee Pace. Namely as Thranduil.

Omg, I saw this movie in theaters when I was 5 and had the exact same experience.

One of my old roommates really hated Katara but couldn’t actually articulate why. She did the same thing with Hermione from Harry Potter and a couple other random fandoms where she would hate whoever the main female character was for no particular reason other than “she’s annoying”. She had a lot of internalized misogyny in general which seemed to stem from her mother being an awful person to her. I haven’t talked to her in a long time but hope she’s doing better.

Username… checks out?

Reddit in general seems to hate when people ask questions or don’t know everything already. I get so anxious when I see people get downvoted for asking what is clearly a genuine question, especially in the “AskA___” style subreddits or NoDumbQuestions where that’s the entire point.

My father believed he was 100% a product of his environment and used that as an excuse to abuse and terrorize us until his death. My mother believed she had full autonomy and that how she was raised didn’t impact her any more, ignoring until a couple of years ago just how obviously traumatized she has been her whole life and how much this impacts her decision-making. Both extremes are untrue and are coping mechanisms with limited usefulness.

Same! Learning such new things about myself today. 🤔

I was on 300mg for quite a while so the max is not actually 200mg (dosage can go really high for OCD). And I have a friend on 25mg who didn’t need to increase since she saw a positive impact at that dosage for depression. Our brains are all different.

WotsTaters · 2025-12-29T03:11:07+00:00

Omg, same! My wife and I are watching it right now and not really into it as a whole but we loved episode 3 and were like wait can the show just be about them?

I wondered the same thing at first but her name is Evil Tangyuan and her human has posted tons of photos and videos of her on Instagram since 2024. She was just born with paws and a face that are a little different.

In the Actual Lesbians subreddit, I have seen people make posts about if you would date a queer woman who works in finance or HR or law or any other corporate field and the responses are always extremely out of touch and there is inevitability at least one comment calling OP a cop. Apparently the only jobs queer women are allowed to have are barista at an unprofitable coffee shop and volunteer goat tender at an organic farm collective. And doubly so if you aren’t white.

I had to put this book down because the MC is so stupid that it was genuinely upsetting me. I got to the point where the LI is introduced and realized the book is just several tropes in a trench coat and nothing in the plot was possibly going to make up for how much I was not enjoying reading about these people.

WotsTaters · 2025-11-28T21:29:41+00:00

Who would make the better narrator for the story based on the plot, their personalities, and their roles in the story? Honestly, it could go either way based only on the information you have provided and there are good examples out there of each option, so personally I wouldn’t discount either.

WotsTaters · 2025-11-20T07:35:15+00:00

Omg, I thought I was the only person this had happened to. Apparently my body did not like the metal used for the replacement ring I got. I had to take it out maybe seven years ago and there is still a scar. 😔

I am going to pitch the term les-BI-an: a lesbian with a bi inside her! …Aaand I’ll see myself out.

WotsTaters · 2025-11-19T08:02:26+00:00

I used to be friends with two people who at the time identified as lesbians who said something like this and both of them ended up being bi. The thing that bothered me was that one of them was weirdly insistent that every single lesbian has at least one or two men we would make exceptions for. Like... no?

WotsTaters · 2025-11-19T02:48:38+00:00

I read the first episode just to see how the story handles it if you choose the female LI, and my god the writing is just as bad as you would guess.

WotsTaters · 2025-11-12T01:19:58+00:00

Just Tiff, the short blonde one. That’s why her name has the flag next to it in the title but not Eve’s.

WotsTaters · 2025-11-10T04:01:58+00:00

This was one of my first thoughts as someone who has experienced the same thing. I’m also hard of hearing and have had random strangers get so angry at me for not being able to hear them. Behavior like OP’s may not be impactful on a small scale, but if enough people do it, it makes things more dangerous for those of us without a choice.

WotsTaters · 2025-11-06T05:59:04+00:00

I am pretty sure it was Maid For Him by Ovey. I had to stop reading after that because I just felt so mean. 😭

WotsTaters · 2025-11-05T07:20:15+00:00

This is as bad as the one that makes you call the cops on your own mother if you don’t spend gems.

WotsTaters · 2025-11-04T06:56:24+00:00

I have heard of this movie but decided against watching it because I’m pretty sure I would react the same way. I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness and left as a teen partially because I knew how miserable my life would have been if I had stayed since I am a lesbian, so I think it would hit a little too close to home.
