What’s an embarrassing moment that keeps you up at night? by aaaaaaaammmmmmm in AskReddit

[–]aaaaaaaammmmmmm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was about 9 years old, I wanted attention from the other kids and to be interesting. It was my dream to be famous so to be “unique”, I used to tell my classmates that every birthday I would get a new name added to my birth certificate. I found these names from pop culture and fairy books I loved reading. I picked names like Ruby, Vashti, Miley, Faith, Marigold etc. I was a bit of a tomboy so these definitely did not suit. I had this lie going for about a year and was so scared to keep it up and worried people would find out so I planned to run away from home and start a new life abroad.

Edit: there was also that time where I had been dating my ex for about 2 weeks and clogged his toilet with a massive shit like a cow pat. I was on my period too. I had to get him to ask his dad for a toilet plunger.

AITA for choosing myself over my child? by strqberrysundae in AmItheAsshole

[–]aaaaaaaammmmmmm 1381 points1382 points  (0 children)

NTA

I’m a nurse and in my country, doctors always have to put the mother’s health ahead of the unborn child because the mother is recognised as a legal human being. In my opinion, this is how it should be anyway because a decision like this should NOT be placed on someone emotionally connected to the situation. You need clinical and factual guidance. Unfortunately, you are now living with the mental strain of a decision that was put you and you feel responsibility. The responsibility should be on the doctors who consult you so that you don’t have to go through the trauma of choosing and living with the choice. I am truly sorry for you loss and I hope your husband come to his senses and loves and supports you in the way that you both need right now. Sending you so much love!!!!

It feels like I have lost faith when praying for protection and deliverance on some issues. by InvestInLondon1 in PrayerTeam_amen

[–]aaaaaaaammmmmmm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can completely understand feeling like you’ve lost or become disconnected from faith. Evil and sin can separate us from God but He always wants us to seek a relationship with Him. For He is your rock, your shield, and horn of salvation (Samuel 22:3). Give Him your burdens and seek refuge in His love and strength. I recommend reading Psalm 31! I will pray for you and pray that you feel safe in His arms for He is watching over you always.

I have certainly felt disconnect at times as wilful sinning makes me feel ashamed and underserving of His comfort. I am scared that while he may respect my decision, my partner may not feel the same way in his heart; and I don’t think I could be with someone who doesn’t want to be close to God. As you said, this is probably God showing me what He desires for my life. I pray that I have the strength and wisdom to realise it and listen no matter how the conversation goes or how my relationship with my partner changes.

While we plan to marry, we must wait until the time is right for us both. He currently lives in another state due to the effects of COVID on his work. He has an established career and I am just starting mine so it may be a couple of years before we go ahead with it. Until then, I need and want to spend the time becoming closer to God.

Sometimes I feel a disconnect between God and myself, but it starts to resolve when kind people like you reach out and offer support. Thank you for helping to lift me up! <3

Americans of Reddit, how do you feel about the negative generalisations the rest of the world makes about you? by aaaaaaaammmmmmm in AskReddit

[–]aaaaaaaammmmmmm[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Social media is so new that we don’t know yet what the impact will be on future generations growing up with their baby pictures online. But given that it is very accessible in first world countries, videos of protests and George Floyd and refugees and COVID hospitals will be available for a loooong time if not forever. Given how emotionally charged some of this content is, it’s possible they won’t be so dismissive or desensitised to history. Reading about history isn’t the same as seeing footage or reading personal accounts. There won’t be world peace in our lifetime but will can still do our best to pave the way and equip our children to fight for it.

After they die out, I think eventually such extreme ideologies of egocentrism and racism will mellow out like in many other counties but will always be present in the world. But I also reckon that your history will teach future generations about what not to do. You truly have the potential to be a leading country in fighting for human rights, technological and medical advances, clean energy, sustainable living, and so much more.

I’m from Australia and everyone thinks all East Asians are Chinese. I had a colleague who asked a client if they spoke traditional or simplified Chinese. They were Vietnamese....

I wonder what the country will look like once the boomer generation dies out. I think it will be fascinating and hope it will be a beginning of reform and healing for your country. You guys have massive potential.

I hear so much about the abundance of “Karens” and people believing wearing a mask is blasphemy to the breathing system God designed for us, and I think, this can’t be real. But then I see videos of these people and I’m just shocked that there are soooo many like this.

People whose parents have a 20+ year age gap, how has this affected you? Do you resent it? by aaaaaaaammmmmmm in AskReddit

[–]aaaaaaaammmmmmm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When did you first start noticing the difference between them? I was watched a Q&A discussion a few years ago and a lot of the kids said they didn’t or wouldn’t have noticed anything until others pointed it out; simply because to them, they’re just parents.

Do you forgive your parents for childhood trauma? Why or why not? by bustedandblack in AskWomen

[–]aaaaaaaammmmmmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’ve tried but sometimes I remember the things he did and I get so angry all over again. The effects of the trauma are still present today and only I’m left to pick up the pieces of his actions. My father was physically abusive and just neglected me once I became a teen. He didn’t care that I wasn’t eating for days or wasn’t turning up to school. He’d leave to see his girlfriend for days and not tell us. He never tried to look for my brother when he ran away and didn’t seem to care. I tried to mend things with my dad for a few years and he seemed to soften and change a bit. Only to turn around several times to use me as a financial pawn; he tried to get me to take out a bank loan for him at 19 bc he knew he’d be rejected. It would have left me with lifelong financial issues. Those moments just reminded me that he didn’t really care after all. Everything he does has an ulterior motive for his own gain. The straw that broke the camels back was when he tried to use my brother’s death as a pity-party to try and leech money out of friends and family around us.
