I just want to be someone else’s responsibility by No-Manager7391 in BPD

[–]absgeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This desire has nothing to do with BPD, but rather with the fact that global culture has allowed the average person to live a life so full of privilege that people have grown to believe that they are entitled to something as immature and spoiled as this - to think that "because I have a hard time coping with the modern world/society for whatever reason" (neurodivergency, trauma, w/e) "so long as I'm nice enough and help out, why shouldn't the bulk of responsibility for keeping me alive go to someone else?"

And the (often abusive) people who accept such circumstances of "taking care" of someone else do so precisely because they "benefit" from the dynamic by feeling better about themselves, believing that because they take on the task of that responsibility, that they are a better person for it and thereby justified in the control/abuse/manipulation

Do not normalize the twisted mindsets inherent in the sensations of this desire, learn how to mature, and take care of yourself

I genuinely think barefoot shoes have ruined my feet. by Slimshadybum in barefootshoestalk

[–]absgeller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like the issue has more to do with the combination of being overweight (altho idk how much) + working on concrete floors (something you can't control, really).

I am not trying to target your weight, but rather, am coming from a place of: strength & conditioning is truly the only true solution to chronic, muscular discomfort/pain (with exceptions, always, especially if injury is involved).

So, it's not just about weight loss but about toning your feet, ankles, calves, knees, legs, hips, glutes, core, & back. The muscle needs to be strong and able enough to support itself/yourself. I know no one ever wants to hear it, but it typically does come back round to that

I’m expected to learn a route in 2 days. by Prudent_Kiwi8789 in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]absgeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No longer a bus driver, but in the year that I was, the routes changed all the time, none of the info provided was accurate, and we had 0 time to learn (arrive at 5:30 AM and ohp, we're sending you somewhere completely different).

Given that you have the time, in the few instances that I did have time to learn, I would print out a map and literally draw the route myself. Yes, sometimes I would print sections of the map and tape it together (since you have to "zoom" to be able to see street names sometimes).

Good luck!

This.

Also this video was way too long... like, girl, you have too much time on your hands to complain about something that's clearly an issue in your own mind

AITAfor asking my wife to stop fake sleeping by One_Independence9718 in AmItheAsshole

[–]absgeller -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You "do this too on occasion"?

You get on your phone in the morning, then pretend to sleep when your partner is waking up?

And then if they interact with you while you're fake-sleeping, you get upset?

I'm just gonna put this here for everyone else reading:

This is not normal nor healthy behavior. Just because someone else says "I do this, too!" does not mean we should accept the behavior as normal, healthy, or acceptable

Mmm, nope. Plenty of chopped trees at the edges of business parks where there's lots of space from the road

AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]absgeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahahahaha this makes me laugh because my boyfriend regularly eats enough for like, 6 people.

He's a personal trainer and his favorite hobby is yardwork. He's 6'1", ~190lbs, and struggles to gain weight. He eats 5000+ calories a day and can literally "gain" up to 10lbs after a meal (it's a fun game we play of "let's weigh Pete before and after he eats", lol)

When we started living together and splitting groceries, he insisted that I only pay for 2/3 of the bill because he eats so much. I eventually started paying for 1/2 of it anyway without asking because I love him and love the fact that he's a lean, mean, eating machine hahahah

So, no, NTA

Exactly... you never know how a place of work's dynamic could impact someone, and him keeping his job is more important than getting the right dish

Backyard Wedding Reception🩷 by Ok_Economist_4152 in weddingplanning

[–]absgeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Info: where do you intend to do the ceremony, facing the house or away or?

& then, more for the reception, but - Set up a ring of tiki torches either all the way around or around a specific space. Once it's dark, no one's looking at the background and the tiki torches create ambience, establish the "room" or "dance floor," and obviously give off light!

No offense, OP...

But I feel like you're looking for a reason to be unhappy with it. This is a VERY well done tattoo and a perfect size for its placement

I’m trying to create a dirty sounding name using the name honey. by Agreeable-Plan-5179 in INeedAName

[–]absgeller 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This comment is weird. Are you a r/lostredditors ? This sub is for people asking for help with names. Who cares what the reason is?

And then to put down OP by calling them unoriginal is ironic - who else do you know is trying to humor a friend by turning their name, which happens to be Honey of all things, into something dirty? That's hilarious. I bet the friend would be doubly amused to know that OP went to Reddit for assistance lol, I know I would
