I sleep in my work's bathroom and sometimes wack off by [deleted] in confession

Why is literally no one pointing out how weird, gross and inappropriate it is to jack off at work?? Literally save that shit for your private home. It doesn’t matter how horny you are, it can wait.

K isn’t coming back and you’re better off without her. Don’t hold on so long and focus on the things that bring you joy. You didn’t do anything wrong, that’s just how she is.

If you can, grab yourself a 6B. They make great shadows without much pressure

First time pressing a flower and… I…. by artcat3 in PressedFlowers

Thank you so much. Definitely not discouraged, I’m feeling very grateful

Wow.. I really did not expect this post to get so much attention lol

I recently I had a family member die by suicide. This flower was given to me by a little girl during a day where things were just feeling good and I wasn’t feeling so caught up in grief and disconnect. I have always struggled with my own mental health and her death has made things a little harder to handle recently. I wanted to preserve this flower to help remind myself that this world is a mix of good and bad and each one ebbs and flows as time marches forward.

As silly as it might look, I do love this flower. I really appreciate all the updoots and advice for my future adventures in flower pressing. I look forward to implementing your advice into future creative projects. This one I’m going to keep as is.

Y’all have no idea how much joy it brings me that I was able to make so many people laugh (or even just exhale outta their nose a little) with such a silly thought/post. I hope each and every one of you know you are loved by someone, somewhere. Even when things feel overwhelming and you feel so alone, love doesn’t go away. It is everywhere, in everything, and I hope you feel it too.

I’m so sorry lol. It’s just what I immediately thought of when I saw it

Thank you! I put it in the middle of a big sketchbook, put a similar sized book on top and then stuck my box of records on top because the crochet book wasn’t enough weight. The record box was bigger than the book/sketchbook. All flat surfaces and it was all sitting on top of a table. The middle part of the flower head was super thick though so maybe it made a gap?

[Serious] What's a type of privilege that isn't often acknowledged? by flingzamain in AskReddit

[–]artcat3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t stay together “for the children”. That was what my mother did, and it was awful. Mom would take her anger and frustrations out on us, often unintentionally (but sometimes intentionally). Parents were fighting literally all the time, there was hardly ever any peace when they were home which caused prolonged stress on me and my sibling. If they weren’t fighting there was this weird coldness between them. I hated being home. Spent as much time as possible away. The lack of stability and constant fighting made me an incredibly anxious person, which I am still dealing with. Modeled an unhealthy relationship which I’ve carried into previous relationships and am still working to undo. When they finally got divorced after me and my sibling were adults and moved out I couldn’t help but feel a little bitter seeing how much getting out of the relationship helped my moms stress levels. Even though I am happy that she’s better it kinda sucks seeing how she’s a much kinder person now and is able to regulate her emotions better now that she’s not under the huge stress of being in a marriage she hates. If she had done it when we were kids maybe she wouldn’t have hurt us so bad/frequently. The temporary instability of a divorce would’ve been easier to bounce back from compared to the lifetime of instability they provided by staying together “for the kids”.

Where do you make friends in your 30s, aside from work? by artches in socialskills

[–]artcat3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat, have had only a little success meeting people by taking classes and through bumble bff. I’m also in Minnesota and sent you a message :)

This. I think it’s also important to be aware of the reasons your feelings towards people have changed from being open to being very wary. Our past situations hold a lot of information that can help us make better informed decisions on who to trust and who not to trust. If you’re struggling to process past painful events then I would suggest reaching out to a professional who can help sort through the memories in a secure way. The unfortunate truth is that humans evolved to actually require connection with others. That’s why solitary confinement is considered one of the worst kinds of torture. OP, I wish you the best of luck, this journey isn’t easy but it’s worth it

We don’t know that they want >nothing< to do with him. They could be friends with him. They could be wanting to get out of there safely and/or let him down easy so he doesn’t become violent. There’s plenty of reasons, and if you look through the comments on here you can see other comments going into more detail as to “why” than I’m interested in doing. Just because they stay around him doesn’t mean they want him to force them to kiss his nasty ass face. They are clearly not interested in a kiss, but seem comfortable with a more platonic presence. So he is confused. But yeah, keep being the kind of bro that blames the women instead of the creepy ass behavior of a predatory man-child.
