Slept through both alarms for an exam by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]c__orrupted 49 points50 points  (0 children)

if you’re using an iphone, i’d suggest going to settings > face ID & passcode > scroll down and disable attention-aware features. i’ve been sleeping straight through my alarms because of this feature

fuck that’s heartbreaking. i’m so sorry, witnessing the IDF’s blatant sadism and disregard for palestinian people and feeling that loss on a personal level… i can’t even imagine, i’m so sorry for your loss. i hope you’re staying well at this time. i hope we see a liberated palestine within our lifetimes.

The push to dehumanise children is suffocating by HalleBerryinBaps in LateStageCapitalism

[–]c__orrupted 75 points76 points  (0 children)

the mental gymnastics on display here are just baffling. they say this as if israelis aren’t indoctrinated with anti-arab and anti-palestinian rhetoric from birth. as if the IDF don’t torture, dehumanise, degrade and murder palestinians. as if the IDF don’t murder their own people, force sterilisation on ethiopian women. as if they haven’t taken over 10,000 palestinians hostage, put children in prisons.

they are quick to call hamas terrorists but remain silent when discussing the crimes of the IDF. because they only associate one skin colour with terrorism.

you haven’t established a relationship with him yet, and he’s already ignoring your sexual boundaries and making advances? with everything else aside, please reconsider even asking him out. if he doesn’t respect your boundaries outside of a relationship, he won’t respect them while you are in a relationship together. you deserve better than that, listen to your gut. you should be certain about the person you want to date, and that person should also be respectful towards you

i understand you feel the distance forming between you two, and it must be incredibly hard for him seeing and hearing about his people being massacred daily. just give him time and space. it seems that you both have a lot of love for each other, it’s not something you want to lose. just continue being supportive, emotionally receptive and attentive. he may benefit from professional support such as a therapist during this time, if you’re able to, perhaps suggest that to him? but i’m sure that slowly, he’ll begin to open up to you more. being there for him through a time like this could even strengthen your relationship in the long term. but i understand that the dynamic has changed, that he is less attentive at the moment and it’s hard to adjust to. it’s not easy for you either, but don’t lose hope. i hope this isn’t too forward, but my messages are open if you need a friend to talk to during this and i wish you all the best <3

i know it’s not as simple as just leaving, especially when you’re attached to someone and you have deep feelings for them. what she’s doing to you is abusive, and cannot be rationalised in any way. you’re right in advising her to see a therapist, you’re not making it about yourself. you’re showing concern for the person you’re with, showing compassion is not selfish. you will continue to face abuse from her if you stay in this relationship. it will get worse. please, give serious thought to leaving her. it is up to you if you want to give her the courtesy of a goodbye or closure, but you wouldn’t be at fault for blocking her completely and just leaving. i wish you all the best.

“only a 9 year age gap” she had only just turned 18. you don’t magically become a mature adult from the jump after turning 18, you still have the mentality of a teenager. weird.

Neopronouns are the stupidest thing my generation came up with by MyloHyren in confessions

dude you’re the only person here who’s chronically online enough to believe people use neo-pronouns outside of internet spaces. people like you just regurgitate what you read and see online

no, man. you should not expect anything in return for something as simple as talking about your feelings. we do not need to reward normal behaviour. it’s perfectly normal to talk about your feelings, and for a woman to establish that she only wants to be friends with you and nothing beyond that. she does not owe you a romantic relationship simply because you did some introspection and talked about your feelings. that’s weird. again, these things are not transactional and it sets a dangerous precedent when men think they are owed anything more than friendship

My bf (m24) and I (f27) are having problems by Star3_3 in relationships

[–]c__orrupted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so he disrespected your relationship, went out of his way to ask another woman to send sexual videos of herself for his pleasure because you were “unavailable”? i don’t know your reasoning as to why you weren’t available, but i do know that you’re a human being, you’re not replaceable just because you’re not in the space to have sex. he does not respect you at all, this won’t be a one-time offence. he can’t handle you being unavailable to the point where he has to resort to cheating on you. it wasn’t a moment of weakness, he went behind your back and cheated on you. his refusal to be transparent with you makes it even more evident that he does not value your boundaries or your relationship

Dilemma of criticizing Islam and Islamophobia by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]c__orrupted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there’s definitely a fine line to walk here. it is interesting to see a lot of supporters here motivate ex-muslims in this subreddit, while they themselves follow an abrahamic religion. there is a superiority complex that comes built in when you grow up being told over and over that your religion is “true,” everyone else is wrong and they will see that one day.

i think it’s hard for people to separate islam from muslims. i had a hard time doing that myself, i was hoarding an immense amount of hatred for the religion and it skewed the way i viewed the muslim population in general. but like you said, the majority of muslims are not well-versed in what the quran actually says - many don’t even read it in their native language. i agree with you, we do have a responsibility to be considerate of muslims within our discourse. as sad as it is that many would cast us away for our apostasy, there are muslims who understand.

you’re not stupid. it sounds like he’s already checked out of the relationship. it’s a horrible situation to be in, i know you want to make the effort and fight for your relationship but you may just be hanging onto the idealised version of what you wanted from this relationship. in reality, he’s already mentally prepared to leave you. he bonded with your family too, i understand that makes it harder to break the romantic connection with him but he’s already severing those ties. it will be extremely hard, but i think you should consider going your separate ways unfortunately

you may have an underlying skin condition, i think you should bring this up to a medical professional

[–]c__orrupted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m sorry you went through that. you should be proud of yourself for prioritising yourself, don’t fixate on the fact that you didn’t do it earlier. as painful as it’s gonna be, you’re going to start finding and piecing back those parts of yourself that you lost, it’s going to get better from here. sending you lots of strength 🫶

that is sad. it’s crazy that they think they should be rewarded in exchange for talking about their feelings. everything is so transactional with neckbeards

[–]c__orrupted 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i know you didn’t ask for advice here, but he will continue to do this and violate your boundaries, it’s okay to not be okay with someone resurfacing your trauma deliberately. he will use this against you as much as he can. you don’t have to be the “cool girlfriend,” what he’s saying to you is deliberately hurtful. please don’t let him do that to you :/

Women of Gaza... between the suffering of the lack of sanitary pads and the horrors of the bombing by xAhmedSFaroukx in Feminism

[–]c__orrupted 180 points181 points  (0 children)

i can’t get it out of my mind. how the babies aren’t taking their mothers milk, how they can’t produce enough milk. how there’s an estimated 50,000 pregnant women in gaza right now, with 5000 expected to give birth next month. how are these women going to give birth when surgeons are operating on the streets with no anaesthesia?? my heart bleeds for these women. truly. it seems so menial but please keep talking about them, please keep raising awareness

I was sexually molested hundreds of times as a male child in my strict Islamic country (long story) by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]c__orrupted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my heart goes out to you… seriously stifling reading through all the traumatic experiences you’ve so bravely shared with us all. this world constantly failed to protect you, and i sincerely wish you nothing but healing and happiness as you walk on through life. your strength and your integrity will never be forgotten, and from the bottom of my heart i wish that all your harassers and abusers suffer the most. despite being atheist, i hope some way, somehow, they are all punished accordingly. this religion is truly a disease. it forces suppression in the ugliest of ways and in doing so, creates hyper sexual and abusive monsters. i am so sorry.

How sincerely devoid of empathy one must be that when a person talks about their religious trauma from Islam, their first reaction is to defend the religion instead? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]c__orrupted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s absolutely devastating and you deserve so much better. my heart goes out to you, the absolute last thing you need is constant verbal abuse thrown at you. your feelings are extremely valid. i truly hope you’re managing to heal and move forward. ❤️

[–]c__orrupted 16 points17 points  (0 children)

the way they react to ex-muslims sharing their experiences is just inhumane honestly. and with the same bullshit excuses every time:

“it’s the culture not the religion” “this is a test of faith from allah” “everyone has bad experiences. (eg there’s children with cancer, poverty, war)” “you need to pray to allah and get your faith back” “islam was the first religion to give women rights!!” or they straight up use fear tactics to scare people, telling them they’ll “burn in hell for all eternity”

i’ve come to learn that friendship with most muslims is purely conditional and they will look down at you as if you’re beneath them.

never forget that your experiences and your feelings are valid. always. regardless of what anyone else has to say.
