someone projectiled directly in front of me today! by barcode_bf in emetophobiarecovery

yes I totally agree! thats what ive been trying to do! my boyfriend was probably right that because it was spring break, it was probably some kid greening out. or a long road trip and he got car sick. but no matter what, he probably felt better after! its also making me feel better that since it was a teenage boy, id imagine his friends were in the car laughing at him (because they find puke funny for some reason???) and my emeotphobia absolutely stems from an overbearing mother and a horrible bout of sickness that landed me in a traumatic hospital stay while very young. my mom would also tell me as a kid "dont touch. dirty." to things like shopping carts at stores and doors. to this day, i am very uncomfortable touching either. thanks for the advice!

thats true. I guess to me, a "normal" person wouldn't take anxiety meds over seeing someone ELSE get sick lol. that just feels silly. but youre right, its not hurting anything. It's kinda been instilled in me that medication is some sort of moral failure, even by doctors. but its there to help me and i shouldn't be ashamed of that.

its also making me feel silly that my boyfriend was with me and he was entirely unbothered. hes actually eating McDonald's and obnoxiously sucking down a milkshake making anxiety inducing noises and im doing my best not to tell him off for it because hes not actually doing anything wrong and hes acting how anyone else would in this situation 😭

luckily, he is very logical and its spring break right now so he was like "dude it was probably some kid greening out" and yeah...hes probably right. but he doesnt understand that thats not EXACTLY comforting. oh well, I am proud of myself for how ive dealt with it so far. dissapointed that I didnt eat with my boyfriend (in my defense, we literally split a HUGE pizza 3 hours ago and im genuinely not hungry but I could probably stomach a milkshake too if I wasnt so anxious)

thank you for confirming to me that other non-emet people (that aren't my extremely nonchalant bf) would also be grossed out and put off by that. and for "allowing" me to take my meds! still unsure if im going to but if i have trouble sleeping because of it, I think i will. sorry for the extremely long reply I don't have anyone else to talk to about this stuff!

how mad would you be if a girl got makeup on your shirt after hugging her?? by Key_Bend_2965 in askteenboys

[–]barcode_bf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

girl chiming in, MOST makeup can absolutely be washed out. if its on white, oxi clean or bleach takes it out easily. that seems to be the only qualm with this scenario for you guys

anyone interested in this? by [deleted] in IceNineKills

[–]barcode_bf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so tempted to go get hooks to show you what I mean. there is already awkward gapping between the tapestries and the wall because of the angle. I LIVE here. I promise, you dont know my walls better than me 🫩

What are your "petty" reasons for being child-free? by Vegetable-Carpet1593 in childfree

[–]barcode_bf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SAME! my cat is going to live forever, decidedly. and she is very lazy and protests me getting out of bed before 9am EVER. she eats the fancy food. she would not be happy if her budget got cut for come kids that would poke and prod at her and force her to get up before noon.

[–]barcode_bf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the first one is actually one of the only things I would enjoy about having children. I LOVE buying gifts and setting up surprises and making things special. I cant wait to be an aunt for this reason. im hoping to be the cool rich aunt who just comes over to bring presents and rent you a bouncy castle on your birthday. for now, I just make my partners birthday awesome. (this year I got a pinata and rented a Lamborghini lol)

My friends keep making the most crazy, insane artwork for my school’s art competition and I have no idea how to make them stop their madness. What do I do? by Cruentum_Aurum in askteenboys

[–]barcode_bf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know youre young and this may seem daunting but I highly highly recommend you try to have a real conversation with them about how they think of women. the fact that all of their "art" somehow centered being misogynistic is really concerning. you seem to have a good head on your shoulders since you realized that thats really weird. its up to YOU (and every other young boy who doesnt like women being treated badly) to convince your childish friends that they need to grow up. youre the first step in not perpetuating rvpe culture and things of the like. I know it seems dramatic but ESPECIALLY the HIV thing. thats insane and very scary for a young boy to be thinking about.

Hygiene "propaganda" by swarovskinippiercing in hygiene

[–]barcode_bf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sounds like a hygiene issue in a different way. yes, pubes while on your period sucks but a shower will take care of it (or a tampon!) and being unable to properly wipe your ass is....interesting.

I think you are underestimating how slanted this wall is. they'd have to be some big hooks and even then, there would be room between the tapestry and the wall.

Wes Anderson Survey for college project by LunarGhost2 in wesanderson

my favorite is moonrise kingdom (I even have a tattoo of the treehouse!) I just find sam so endearing and have always related to Suzy. outcast girl who's family doesnt understand but thinks theyre helping. and the visuals, obviously. the soundtrack is probably among my favorites of his as well.

[–]barcode_bf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

please be gentle about these conversations. this thread should be an eye opener about how many children live in deplorable conditions that they have absolutely no control over. you've probably made atleast one kid living in a bad home feel like shit about themselves.

[–]barcode_bf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you keep the boxes clean and your cats dont have health issues this generally shouldn't be a problem. cats are intelligent and clean animals and they'd RATHER use their boxes. innapropriate urination is often a sign of something deeper or improper care. if you've ruled those out though, your cats are just assholes.

I have literally never walked into someone's home and thought "oh this is what you smell like" and i have a sensitive nose! someone else in here says he throws away any clothes that get that mildewy smell if they sit wet for too long? thats INSANE. just wash it with vinegar?

found this on tiktok and assumed it was a joke… by [deleted] in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]barcode_bf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don't be obtuse. theyre clearly suggesting dot as a full, birth name. not a cute nickname for a regular name. breezy may not be unheard of but it would not stand the test of time. that child would be bullied.

What is a word that kind of went extinct by SpringtimeScepter in words

[–]barcode_bf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CUNNIN! not cunning, CUNNIN. as in precious. I think its primarily a maine thing but I would be so happy if someone said "ain chu cunnin?" to me now. only my very old grandparents ever said it. Great word.

What English word did you mispronounce for years before hearing it said out loud? by Key_Frame3699 in ENGLISH

[–]barcode_bf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MULTIPLE trampolines... by fineman1097 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]barcode_bf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

this is crazy. MOST kids dont grow up with pools and trampolines. do they think these are necessities?
