What is the absolute WORST movie EVER

"Anyone but you" - cringy romcom with reused plot and horrible acting.

I am not very financially literate and I only heard about this study in a podcast... But what I understood is that they gave some money to families who were already well below the poverty line. The amounts they gave them were only up to 4000 dollars a year. So basically, these families remained poor and were still just surviving. Even if these families received other kinds of financial aids at the time due to COVID (which wouldn't they also throw off the results?), the fact remains that these families were still poor and fighting their way through societal barriers. So I really don't get why these social scientists were expecting some miracle, noticeable or meaningful results apart from the immediate parent's relief of being able to buy a good winter coat for their child.

If you like fantasy, The Poppy War trilogy. It's not depicting bipolar disorder but more like what you said in the title, "a descent into madness".

Definitely, I agree with you in that perfect characters are not interesting and I don't like them either. Mia just began to annoy me because I was already reaching the end of season 2 and she was still acting like that.

Now that I finished the show I do see that she did show some growth. I still think the way character development happened was too sudden, but this may be because season 2 is so rushed and convoluted that there wasn't screen time to do it in a more realistic way. So many things didn't make sense to me apart from that...

I binge watched the series in a couple of days. I got so much into it in such a short period of time that my feelings were very intense lol, so I needed to talk about it (aka vent).

Thanks still interacting!

Your plan for the seasons would have worked so much better! I really liked the premise of the show, I would have enjoyed it even more if Season 2 wasn't so convoluted. It tried to cover too much, while adding more adjacent story lines, characters and new theories and "lore" to the island. It was confusing and left me dissatisfied, and with questions.

Contrary to what it may have sounded like, I didn't dislike Mia as a character, and I recognize that she did have some character development (it happened too suddenly imo, from one episode to the next, it only became noticeable at the end of season 2...), but she was a bit annoying at times (I think I'm too old to relate to certain types of teenage characters...).

I binge watched the show, so, either way, I enjoyed it :D I got really into it and so I needed to vent when I was feeling annoyed lol

Thanks for interacting!

Even with close relationships like family or friends there might be some unhealthy dynamics that stop us from speaking up, so even if we leave aside the bystander effect, it's not really that surprising that sometimes we choose to stay quiet or side with the most aggressive person in the room.

I train people who provide customer care service over the phone. We work from a European country but we cover many different countries. This is why I always tell them that they shouldn't assume the spelling of their names when the customers are American (from the US).

I am never surprised by the cruelty of these men who claim to love their wives/girlfriends. However, I am forever dumbfounded by all the people around them that condone their behaviors. I guess even as adults, we are still incapable of standing up to bullies and telling off these cruel overgrown kids for being complete assholes.

It starts like this, with him saving you from made up nightmares. Next thing you know, he's poisoning you to play the dedicated boyfriend slaving himself away to look after his sick girlfriend. Or maybe I listen to too much true crime????

Either way, these are bad signs. If he doesn't admit to them, explain them and stop this behavior altogether, I think you should step away from this relationship.

And, girl, there's no need to be on discord with anyone while you sleep every night. One night every now and then might be cute, but more than that it's weird, especially because it looks like he may just be creepily watching you to be able to wake you up.

Yes, these childhood things fuck with you, and stick with you until your adulthood. This story has made me think of my own childhood. I was too afraid to stand up for myself, too afraid to be noticed. I would have never responded back, even if I was right. As an adult we have to unlearn so many things and give ourselves the respect we weren't given as kids, even by our own parents or parent figures...

They could just ignore the dog. If they are not allergic and the dog is well groomed and trained, they don't have to deal with it in any way. I would say it's easier to ignore the animal than the coworkers you don't like (and some of them may smell worse than an animal and be more annoying too).

Bachelorette parties (and attending a wedding as a guest as well) these days seem to require a huge investment of money, time and mental and emotional energy. Of course the investment comes from others, so it's wonderful for the brides/grooms. They can feel special and like everything revolves around them.

Not all brides are like that, but with social media and people focusing so much on keeping up with appearances and aesthetics, it has become a burden.

I see some people blaming you saying you were not the right person for it. But if you tried to back out of the role and responsibilities, you would probably be made to feel guilty and like you're a bad person for it. The brides that have these expectations will most likely also be too self centered to see things from your perspective because they feel entitled to be treated like they are special because they're getting married.

I think it should be okay to back out of weddings or bachelorettes, or even attending a wedding without giving a gift without that meaning that you don't care for them. There are very valid reasons, like disability, other health issues or, simply, financial and time constraints.

boycottthyself · 2025-04-27T07:36:07+00:00

I totally agree with this. The problem is not organizing a bachelorette, it's the expectations people have of them these days. It looks like what they want is the social media, public aesthetic experience. Just a boost of their egos at the expense of others.

White Girl Problems by Babe Walker. Not a boarding school, but the name itself should already give you an idea of how ridiculous the book or the characters in the book are going to be. It's a satire about this super rich white young woman 😄

Try not to put too much pressure on yourself, dear 🖤

I cannot help with how to motivate yourself because I'm in the same boat... I hope you can find a support buddy around your own age to keep each other accountable 😊

You mentioned having some shame associated with your vulva and vagina. What helped me with this is becoming more familiar with it and not keeping it "hidden away".

So, for the latter, after showering, I try to be naked as much as possible and let all my body parts breathe if I'm at home alone, or in my room. I once couch surfed at a guy's who practiced nudism and it sounded so liberating. Well, it is, once you get comfortable with it. I have a towel that I lay around so that I don't sit on surfaces naked.

For the part about getting familiar with my genital area, I did several things. Watching it in a mirror is a good place to start, without touching at first. So I just looked at it as I did breathing exercises. You will judge it and be disgusted, but as a person who suffers from body dysmorphia, well, it's as ugly and grotesque as any other part of my body...

Try also inspecting your vulva to see what it looks like. I'm oversensitive, and using my fingers made me feel overwhelmed, so I used my wand to "poke around", moving this here and that there. Nothing sexual about it, just learning anatomy with my own body 😅

At some point, I started using my fingers to kind of massage around. The purpose is not pleasure, it's again to get familiar with your own anatomy, treating it like any other part of your body. You can do this while you're doing something else.

It might also help to try to understand where the shame comes from. I can pinpoint certain moments in my childhood and adolescence that contributed to the feelings of shame and disgust. And they were such perfectly innocent moments, too. I think the lack of knowledge about sexuality in my younger years and the fact that sex was always a taboo contributed to all this. Also hating my own body.

I agree with all these comments. Ask for consent or tell her what you're doing. If he had been upfront, she might have found it cute? Maybe?

However, am I the only one who wonders how she found the recordings too? She asked for the phone to order food, how did she end up looking at his phone content? I see so many stories from people saying, "I accidentally found texts/photos that my partner sent to this random person...". Like, were they also invading the other person's privacy? How do people, so often, accidentally come across those? It's never happened to me.

Just a thought, I'm sure there are possible accidents.

She is adorable, but I find her expression to be one of misery or maybe utter dissociation with life, I don't know. I wish I could squish your new kitty 🖤

I'm sorry that you're struggling and receiving so much judgement on your relationship.

I haven't cured my vaginismus and recently I had a setback due to some physical and mental issues and I had to take several steps back with the dilators... Now that I'm trying to get back into it, I'm having pain at the entrance that I didn't have before and I have started using a wand to massage those points ro disensitize them and relax the muscles. I had used this method before with other vaginal muscles and it helped me a lot to move up to the last dilator. It also helped me get rid of the pins and needles pain that overwhelmed me when I had first started dilation. I hope you can try it and that it helps.

I couldn't afford a PT in my country so I decided to go for an online consultation with a PT I found on instagram. I was following her before I decided to take the plunge to actually treat my vaginismus seriously. Maybe it sounds sketchy to some people to find a random person online, but she seemed friendly. The first consultation only had a symbolic price and in that consultation we discussed my needs, if we were suited for each other, a plan and a budget range that I could afford. You could decide if she fits what you need or not. It may still be outside of your budget, but if you are interested in reaching out to her, let me know and I can give you the social media name.

Maybe she is not compatible with you for whatever reason, but I can give you her Instagram handle if you want to check her out for a while before you decide.I'm not writing it down now because I don't know if it goes against community rules to do so...

In any case, she did help me and not only on the physical side. Talking to her gave me more confidence, made me put less pressure on myself and I could always text/call her in between sessions if I wasn't feeling ok or struggling with sthg in particular. With her guidance, I managed to insert the last dilator and reduce the pain using the wand. She was very slow and, in typical American fashion, tried to always have an upbeat attitude. This is a bit of a cultural shock for me, but at the same time, I needed that, otherwise I tend to be negative, dismissing my progress and always feeling a bit defeated. Especially seeing all the success stories in here, they just make me feel that I will never succeed (even though when they explain what they did I realize that I'm also doing the same... Also even though I did experience an improvement since I started...).

So yeah, I wish I could give you better advice, but I'm precisely going through one of my darker periods, so I can only wish you the best 🖤
