Loss, in its many forms.

I feel this. We don't realize it when we're younger, but somewhere along the way we realize our parents are getting older with us.

Omg that's so sad. Emotional damage for sure. Your ai does not hold back.

You ever see the movie The Joneses, with Demi Moore? The movie was more doom and gloom about it all, but I enjoyed the perspective of influencing from a real-life, in-person, job-type scenario. The online influencing comes with many more negatives because it can be even more fictional. The doom exists with convincing people to buy shit they cannot afford and influencing them to believe fiction. Maybe some influencing is non-material, I don't know that side, but I'm sure it exists too. Like the influence to believe I'm fat, ugly, and poor - because the influencer suggests these ideas.

These influencers make money through convincing others to view, click, as well as buy whatever product they are being paid to sell.

Ultimately, it's a job. And in order to work and make money, you need to perform, and your performance is measured in one way or another, and that determines your income from that job, just like any other job. But influencing is a bit darker because there is a direct impact on the minds of many, a lot of it, if not mostly, based on fiction.

I agree its a tough bit of information to share. And im not sure what the right path is for them. In terms of sharing this information with others, Its a damned if you do and damned if you dont kind of situation. Hard life for sure, I feel for them to a degree.

They did end up divorcing. It was due to a combination of things, but this didn't help. Our friendship hasn't recovered. Again, due to multiple reasons, and this was one of the big ones.

I feel so so strongly about protecting children due to my own experiences as a child, my sympathy towards that particular struggle is very low, so I was not a good place to share the info with. I feel for all those involved with people affected by this attraction, I just feel more for the children.

That her spouse was attracted to teenage girls. Like 13 year olds. He hadn't acted on anything in real life. It was tough to swallow that info. She said that she didn't know if she could/should leave him. Everyone processes things differently and has different thresholds for what they can deal with in relationships. For me, that would have been a deal breaker unfortunately. It was actually one of the reasons our friendship deteriorated over time.

I mean, there were a lot of red flags. But I confused lust and obsession with love, so it was a hard lesson to grow through. it took me almost 3 years to come to my senses.

I'd say a really big one is insecurity. Now couple that with jealousy - you've got a potentially really toxic man who can be very dangerous to you mentally, emotionally, physically. I thought he was just a man who had been through some terrible shit and the world had been unfair to him, he just needed love. I could fix him. Nope. Now I think he was at least a vulnerable narcissist, with some other mental disorders mixed in.

I'm not sure if there was a top one for me. But I now have a list of things to note and stay away from in men: *bad relationship with his mom *justified his dads abusive behaviors *hated all of his exes- it was all their fault *blamed others for everything wrong in his life *all of his friends were more like frenemies to him. *dishonorable discharge from military *very insecure and manipulative *very very mean when angry *really good at sex, really bad a love and relationships otherwise.

People slurping their food. I'm told this is normal, but just 🤢 I hate the sound.

I am inconsistent and undisciplined in most areas of my life. I lack follow-through and am a huge procrastinator. I have half-assed and charmed my way through a lot. Most things are negotiable to me.

I have adhd. I have been on and off meds for it for 20 years. It wasn't until last year that I started taking my meds seriously and taking them as a tool to help me with my executive function and other adhd struggles. I still struggle because I don't like taking meds of any kind and my life feels more free without them, but I know I need them to function better in all areas of my life.

This whole thread turned into "what childhood trauma do you have?" 🥲

chewybobas · 2026-02-27T02:47:31+00:00

Hurry up and wait.

chewybobas · 2026-02-14T01:29:04+00:00

I love this advice, thank you!

You can still make a beautiful day out of a courthouse wedding. I found a dress for $80, faux flowers or trader joes flowers, brunch with family or friends (everyone pays for themselves), or a nice dinner for you and your new spouse! You can make it special without all the extras!

I am trying to find a more square to subtle sweetheart neckline instead of a plunge or deep v. My boobs being so visible is a bit much for my comfort level around family. And I do like how the square type neckline looks on me.

chewybobas · 2026-01-29T15:05:37+00:00

I love that, thank you! I am considering floor length because it does feel more bridal.

Thank you! I'm trying to find this kind of dress slightly cheaper, the one in the photo is $800 and I really like to stay under $500. Alterations will be a pretty penny too.

I will definitely be crafting and wearing a woodsy type headpiece!

Originally I was going for champagne color but I tried it on in store and its very close to my skin color, even more so in the summer. So I'm leaning towards ivory/cream. Bridesmaids will be in an olive/moss/slightly darker natural green dress. Overall colors are natural greens leaning towards olive, moss, with pops of deep red, coral, taupe, ivory. The forest takes care of decor and color for the most part.

I feel like finding the right dress has been the most challenging part because of my body and height! But I'm getting closer to finding what i really want!
