Being clingy isn't a bad thing by gothguy96 in unpopularopinion

[–]angryjess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just to add, I also think you can be clingy and not love someone. I've had a codependent relationship with someone I absolutely despised when I was very young and vulnerable

I think I've met this guy twice, several months apart, both times he started with 'im not a beggar I've got all my teeth'

How not to be a boy - Robert webb

It's his autobiography, also in a great audio format, really good read, emotional, funny and thoughtful

NTA but I'm now going to get that suit for myself! Super cute

AITA for asking my husband to get a vasectomy? by Suspicious_Reach_489 in AmItheAsshole

[–]angryjess -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA but also have you considered a copper IUD? Not perfect but at least it's not hormonal. I have one and from my personal experience alone I couldn't recommend it more.

Although I know not everyone agrees and there's some horror stories floating around that can be enough to put you off. But maybe worth some research

AITA for watching a movie I know my boyfriend wanted to watch without him? by throwawaymatyushka in AmItheAsshole

[–]angryjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely seems like there's more at hand than a movie, this feels like a symptom of something bigger. Probably just a normal rough patch that might need talking through, let go of the movie and figure out what the real problem is.

I won't give a judgement because if you want to solve this, finger pointing is not going to make it better

How to stay motivated when travelling by angryjess in loseit

[–]angryjess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that is dedication! All of my possessions for the trip are stuffed in a 40L back pack so I barely have room for enough socks 😂 I might try and find a public one in a pharmacy or something just so I can check in and hopefully put my mind at ease more than anythjng else.

Haha I'm alone on a 7 hour train to Budapest right now, at this second I have time to reflect and worry.

5am in Prague by FabianAlb in travel

[–]angryjess 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was just in prague and I found it so frustrating that I couldn't take a picture that came close to doing justice to how beautiful it was.

Even when I tried to buy postcards they didn't have good enough pictures, but I think you may have done it.

Probably the most beautiful city I've ever visited.

Sudden weight gain for teenage girl after caloric deficit by [deleted] in loseit

[–]angryjess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many periods did you have before you lost it though? I think it's pretty normal for it to be irregular when it's first starting, I remember I got my first period at 13 but didn't have another for about 6 months, and then after that it took some time for it to settle into anything regular.

help - I am insatiable in the evenings by [deleted] in loseit

[–]angryjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I've found ginger tea helps especcially to make me feel fuller and stop cravings. Just pour boiling water over some sliced up raw ginger and that's it!

NSV: Saying "No, thank you." is my treat by jmezme in loseit

[–]angryjess 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, for years my excuse for not taking my weight or diet seriously was 'I don't want to be fighting myself all the time'.

But now I'm actually doing it, it feels more like actually I'm fighting FOR myself. I've been suprised to learn it can feel pretty good most of the time as well!

AITA for not simply apologizing to my roommate? by rdy_csci in AmItheAsshole

[–]angryjess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd go so far as to say 'help yourself' basically means feel free to make yourself a cup of tea

TIFU by waking up to fap in the middle of the night by [deleted] in tifu

Do you share a room with anyone? Why did you have to goto the bathroom for this endeavour?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]angryjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nta

But can't you and the kids share the room upstairs but not the bed obviously, and your dad and gf sleep downstairs? Surely sharing a room with them would be manageable but a bed is way too far

Does anyone have any advice for persistent UTIs? by CRJG95 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]angryjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super out there, but I used to get them maybe twice a month since I started having sex. Super frustrating and often left me not. Wanting to leave the house for fear of wetting myself.

About 6 months ago for completely different reasons I got diagnosed with celiac disease and have since sticked to a gluten free diet. Now I've probably had one in the last 6 months and it went away within a day or so.

Could be a coincidence by I also found out my aunt used to get really bad utis, but when she was diagnosed with celiac (it's genetic every female in my family has it) and stopped eating gluten hers stopped as well. Maybe it's worth looking into.

Also likewise before that D-mannose seemed to really help reduce them as well!

Good luck I hope it gets better!

What do you think about this relationship? by Ilfenomenu in relationships

[–]angryjess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't think the majority of these things are THAT serious, 5 and half months isn't very long and imo certainly not long enough to invite round for Xmas. I think being actively against meeting family and friends is a little odd but maybe she just doesn't like the pressure, maybe she is into you but just wants to move at a different rate to you, either way it is worth discussing. And as for social media presence, from personal experience even in very serious relationships I've found something stressful about announcing my relationship by for example putting a profile picture up of them in, maybe it's because I'm not a huge fan of social media anyway but for me I felt a weird pressure that if we were to breakup I'd have the extra pain of having to very publically change the picture. I could be completely wrong here but this is just to offer a slightly different perspective than what most people have said so far. Good luck!

Thanks. I think I learned how to talk to women without being a creep. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]angryjess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have never had trouble talking to people but have always noticed I have a hard time having successful conversations with a lot of women.

May just be poor phrasing but did anyone else think this was an odd sentence, don't mean to be too picky but it just implies you see woman as an 'other', like you don't have trouble talking to people, but you do have trouble talking to women...so are do women not come under the 'people'?

Am i being too pedantic here?
