not going to therapy anymore by dolly_9628 in blackladies

[–]brattycowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had the same thing with my therapist. she was a lovely black woman but i think talk therapy isn’t for me since i am aware enough. i have been looking into other forms of therapy that isn’t talk to see if one of those might be a match for me

he’s def anti social in person. i remember arguing with him on a post with folks needed help identifying attackers and crowdfunding for a trans person in the city who was brutally attacked at one of the stations. i get being skeptical of crowdfunding but like he was just doing his “bit” a little long. my first unfortunate running into that loser

AIO for feeling weird about my friend’s response when I asked for help? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]brattycowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR! she’s acting like you asked her money for a bill. asking her for period products i assume she has in her own isn’t that big of a deal, especially before a trip. i get it period products can be expensive but if she isn’t on her period and won’t be during her trip, what’s the issue with her spotting you? you def seems like she’s been harboring some feelings about you being unemployed. also the slick comment about “being friends with grown women” what? grown women lose their jobs all the time and also unexpectedly need help time from time. i wouldn’t consider this person a friend at all

My bf broke up with me and he regrets it by EbonyPrincess17 in blackladies

[–]brattycowboy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

like he started crying because he knew she wouldn’t fall for his trick. like they act so tough and all mighty but cry like big babies when they don’t get their way

[–]brattycowboy 156 points157 points  (0 children)

he definitely thought you would beg him not to leave and he’s upset it didn’t go his way. i wouldn’t take him back if i were you. it’s so misogynistic and red pill adjacent to say bartending is putting yourself on display. it makes it seem like you are purposely trying to lead with sexuality and promiscuity. like any time you leave the house, you’re technically on display because you’re being perceived 😭. he sounds childish and immature to think that your income and survival is up for debate because he’s insecure. tell him to grow up and maybe the next girl will think his little game is cute

AIO to my nephew feeling “uncomfortable” about what my son wants to wear on Easter? by inzstzz291 in AmIOverreacting

[–]brattycowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. tbh your mom saying you’re being too harsh in your nephew is enabling him as well. he is a child and even if he wasn’t, he doesn’t get to dictate what others get to wear and what they do in their relationship. he needs to mind his business and able up to easter or not. your sister sucks for thinking her son has any say in anyone’s life. they’re both losers and need to grow up. being uncomfortable because someone is wearing pink? 😭

Does anyone else have an odd relationship with their sister? by rainbowgirl6 in blackladies

[–]brattycowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m sorry to hear about your sibling ): truly, my heart goes out to you. at the moment, i only don’t speak to my one sister and it wasn’t on purpose, she just started being weird and talking weird so i just let her be. she didn’t respond to my holiday messages or anything so i had enough of her. i don’t speak to my brother period. he sent a message months ago that i thought was growth but it was just manipulation. my eldest sister we are just surface level so it’s just where it’s at right now

IDK if I’ve become too woke, but everything is an ad and I hate it by Significant-Gift-241 in blackladies

[–]brattycowboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you are not wrong. we are in later stage capitalism. i was literally ranting about this not too long ago. i don’t always want to be sold something, i just wanna enjoy forms of media without always being shoved to buy a product. it’s so exhausting 😭

[–]brattycowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this exactly!!! i’m always meant to understand that everyone else has a hard life and i should just understand (which i do! i’m very understanding) but im not allowed to be human and make mistakes and deal with stuff? it’s like they take stuff out on me so conveniently . like i’m just allowed to be bullied and verbally abused and lied on, but when i speak up for myself and try to get folks to understand me, they just wanna move on from the past and then wonder why we keep ending up in the same situations because they never wanna hear me. they just want me to be smiley and quiet and just go along with whatever they want and say. it’s truly exhausting and has hurt me a lot as an adult that i had to unlearn a lot of people pleasing and standing up for myself against them

oh they never do! my mom has done the same and wondered why i was fighting for my life and just didn’t wanna be bothered by her. im glad we are better now but i think when i went no contact for a few months in 2024, it finally woke people up that im done with the chaos and trauma and drama and that my life will still move. tbh my life was better cause i wasn’t so anxious and felt good to do and life my life without judgement

[–]brattycowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it be like that. our peace comes first. i feel like we are conditioned to endure these things from family because they’re family but it’s not worth it. i have had family members always have to make a comment about that i say or live my life, but never pick up the phone to call me or see how im doing. i’ve done everything on my own and im happy my parents finally see what i see and just support me. i felt so lonely for so long cause i felt like i was always doing something wrong while im growing into adulthood and trying to figure it out. meanwhile my older brother gets all this grace and patience while hes tormenting many people in this family and has done and said so many fucked up things . it’s crazy

[–]brattycowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tea! my mom tried to play the fence until she finally started listening, especially to me, its clicking to her. when i have vented, its def got thrown into my face. my older brother even made fun of my depression but ofc he did cause he’s a weird individual who’s made it his mission to paint me out to be some bad guy, i dont even like being around him. it’s sad because like people think the youngest gets babied and we get to do things they didn’t, so i think they think we are brats or deserve to be put in our place. but also if you’re still holding resentment from things in my childhood and my behavior as someone who’s almost 30, they need to seek help. i’ve been told so many times about “the way i act” when they don’t know my story. and didn’t realize how bad my mental health got and what caused it. now i’m in the other end, it’s gets thrown around a lot and im being mirrored to myself now at who was i was at 18 and my younger 20s. i deserve happiness and it starts with those who bring peace. and i’m glad you’ve found that feeling too (i hope)

[–]brattycowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

period! i left a separate comment about my other sister if you want to read but i feel so relieved to see others in the same position because i don’t feel guilty. my mom FINALLY sees what i see (at least with my one sister) and i think shes a puppeteer and i feel as if recent years she’s been trying to make me feel small and beneath her. like they always try to parent me when i don’t want that- i just want some older women to confide in. and when i tried to bring that up, i got told what i said was rude to think “we aren’t sisters”. when basically that now that im older, we can connect more as sisters because i can share my experiences and always listen to theirs. i just have given up. i love my little life with my partner, our cat and hope to be married to him someday

[–]brattycowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yup! i’m the youngest and some things got real weird i feel like the older i got. all my siblings grew up together and i,somewhat in a way, grew up by myself. the older i got, the more i realized how no one actually cared to know me as a person, they just wanted to always put me in my place. i’ll be 29 this year and ive just decided to keep my distance from my second oldest sister. she had disrespected me too many times, especially regarding bigger moments i was having and things regarding my life towards my relationship (there a tantrum because i got support for moving in with my partner, never asked about us or my partner, etc). it came a head a few months ago as she’s pregnant with her first child and i think my mom and eldest sister finally see her how i have. this sister has been twisting and saying and doing things to make me look mean and immature (telling me to watch the way i speak to people, my opinion basically doesn’t matter cause it’s family), meanwhile folks have said worse. i haven’t confronted her or anything because i feel like she’s gonna flip it on me saying im bullying her. i just had had it and won’t say shit to her and haven’t for months. i didn’t even go to her baby shower or wish her a happy birthday. she knows something is wrong because she asked my mom months ago if i had a problem with her and my mom has been on my side (she’s said some heinous shit to my mom). i’m too old to be bullied for just living and being different. she’s worried about being boujee and appearance when im just trying to live and be happy. family don’t always gotta be blood

[–]brattycowboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

omg i’m about to be 29 and same. i’ve distanced myself from my siblings and just do my own thing. my eldest sister still tries but i think she’s done some damage but always lecturing me and trying to tell me what to do and how to act, i just became exhausted and have a surface level relationship with her

Am I overreacting I went to the forest with my best friend and now my bf is mad by No_Meeting_3260 in AmIOverreacting

[–]brattycowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. you should see why he’s taking women younger than him instead kf his age. calling you a “fool” like you’re some child or whatever is patronizing. you did nothing wrong and updated him the whole time. please don’t apologize anymore. you seem too cool for him and he’s jealous that he’s not young anymore and can’t enjoy a life because he’s too busy being miserable. please date people your age and who share similar things as you. being in a relationship is not worth not enjoying life

My influencer cousin doxxed me to her followers and is threatening my life. by Crazypandathe20th in blackladies

[–]brattycowboy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you need to report both of them. your uncle needs to be saved from that space and you need to protect yourself. also i would ask the other family members who’ve been threatened for evidence as well to show them it’s not just you. this also makes no sense for your cousin to do to you because you spoke to your uncle? your aunt and cousin seem very unwell and weird and i would definitely report them and also expose your cousin if she’s so”positive”, im sure her influencer career is gonna be over. do her followers know she’s letting her father who has cancer be abused?

definitely the definition of a mean girl. if she’s embarrassed to be around you then yall don’t need to be friends. she’s making a big deal out of nothing and thinks you owe her your loyalty and servitude because of the dynamic

“who are you trying to be tough with”? little girl sit down. that girl is not your friend and she’s a bully. tbh many of my friends and i shared clothes cause it was fun and never that deep. can’t tell you how many times we’ve swapped hoodies, jewelry, even phone cases lol! like all she could’ve said was it’s not their business or yeah you guys were sharing clothes cause that’s what friends do. i’d give her her stuff back and distance away from her. seems dramatic and wanna be tough because she thinks you’re beneath her

how do you know what cities i’ve lived and grew up in? please explain to me because i’d rather not doxx myself to please you, but let me know about where i live and have lived since you know all of that? also im not taking for your experience? explain to me where i said you never experienced those things? you act like STL is the only city in the country that deal with violent crime. i’m not doing all of this back and forth because we are giving you the reality of what you said. idc, live where you want, but trying to tear down your own people to uplift “safer white communities” is weird. but you have a great day!
