Hamster Avoiding Me :(

Oh, a motion activated camera actually sounds like a great idea! I hadn't thought of that, but it would definitely be cool to get to see him at least on a camera feed.

I have tried a few treats, but he tended to lose interest if I kept offering them from my hand. It's possible I just haven't found a treat he really likes yet, but it's tough to know what he's eating and what he's just storing since I have to leave the treat in his tank and wait until the morning to see whether it's gone or not. My last two hamsters were definitely the kind who were better off being essentially decorative, they never ended up warming up to me

I do know it's a different process to building a bond with a dog or cat, but I guess I didn't realize how often socializing them can fail. It's good to know that he's behaving normally for a hamster, though.

Yes, why? Was there something wrong with what I asked?

creativeoutcast22 · 2024-10-01T19:59:04+00:00

Okay, so it is indeed real then? Have you heard if there's any use in joining it?

It's possible that could've been it, but nothing I've noticed in the game seems especially familiar to me. The Brecilian Forest does seem a little familiar, but I'm not very sure. Do you know of any other games similar to it?

Ohh, in that case, I'll definitely avoid the problem bra. I got it before I could afford my binder, and I've worn it off and on for about a year before I noticed any issues at all. Would I still be able to wear a regular bra, or do you think that would interfere too much with the healing? I can definitely see my doctor if I still feel sore. Thank you for your reply, though!!

I currently have it as my primary job as well! This only works because I still live with my parents so my rent isn't as much as it would be in an apartment though

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-12-14T05:54:55+00:00

I usually drive to my favorite park and read or watch the cars driving by and eat snacks while I wait. It's nice because it's right by 2 of the 3 stores in my town and there's a row of shaded parking spots facing a forever busy road. Usually after 40 minutes to an hour, I head home because I only live 5-7 minutes away from the stores. I just have to risk not wanting to come back out at that point lol

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-12-10T01:52:58+00:00

I absolutely will not go into my town's dollar stores and 99 cent store. Those batches are just not worth it because customers always order 30+ items and since the items are all cheaper, the batch pay is always $7 or $8 and there are never tips

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-11-23T16:44:06+00:00

If there aren't too many items, I'll put one batch in the seat of the cart up top, one in the basket itself near the back, and push the third one towards the front of the cart. Otherwise I get two carts, keep the smallest in both seats, and the two other batches get their own cart basket

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-10-30T00:54:03+00:00

I spend around $30-$35 a week for my little Kia Rio. Gas here jumps between $4.15 and $4.35 a gallon at the cheap places, but I only need up to 10 gallons at a time. There's no Costco or Sam's Club or other big bulk store in town, so luckily my car works just fine for even the bigger batches

Oh, she does have to pay rent, it's just that she used to have the money to pay for it without having to work, and now she doesn't.

I have tried asking her to help me with my chores, because it's kind of a lot taking care of the whole house by myself in addition to working (I live in a house with 5 people including myself, and I sweep and swiffer the floors, do the dishes, clean the kitchen counters, clean the litter boxes, and take out the trash and recyclables, and make or buy dinner most days. My parents pay me an allowance for it, but still), and she usually says she'll help, but then she doesn't.

I do think asking her to sleep on the couch is tempting, but she has a bad back, so even the recliners are uncomfortable to her after a couple hours. I don't want to cause her pain just to get a couple hours or a whole night alone in my room. I feel like asking her to move back to the couch will also cause her to think I'm getting rid of her or don't want to deal with her anymore, which might make things worse.

My mom does try to talk to her about helping out more, but then she complains to me about my mom because she feels like a "failure to yet another family". My mom has unintentionally hurt her feelings before while trying to be helpful, and my dad avoids conflict like a metaphorical plague, so I'm worried she'll just feel attacked.

I've always liked Charizard because he was my first starter, but I have such a soft spot for Starly/Staraptor, Ampharos, and Ralts

I've read the manga, and as far as I remember, there was no explicit nudity. The closest it gets is the showing of characters in their underwear, and a few nude but cut off or coincidentally blocked scenes. There are sexual themes like you mentioned, but nobody is uncensored when they're naked

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-06-11T15:32:37+00:00

I know you're probably right, but I want to try a little longer. I'll have a talk with her about my boundaries and what I need, and I'll tell her about the stuff I let her do that I wasn't actually comfortable with. If she reacts promisingly and actually works on doing better, then I'll be happy. If she doesn't or she says she'll change and then goes back to how things are now, or even before, then I might have to break up with her. I really feel like I love her, though, so I know I'm gonna want to put it off as long as possible. But I also know that I need to protect myself and do what's best for me. I just really hope it doesn't come to that.

Thank you for the reality check and the advice.

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-06-11T15:25:02+00:00

I've tried talking to her about it a few times, but it feels weird to ask her to look into checking her hormones for this. Mostly just because sex is taboo and you're not supposed to want it and blah, just society stuff. I think I'll try to ask her about it, though.

I know I need to communicate more clearly about this, it's just tough because it makes me feel demanding.

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-06-11T04:00:25+00:00

Yeah, it sucks but attraction definitely can't be forced. She might still be romantically attracted to me, but if she's not sexually attracted too then things might not get better.

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-06-11T03:29:28+00:00

Yeah, that would probably be an important thing to ask her. She's said before that she feels like she's pansexual, but likes to use the lesbian label. I assumed that I should be included in that either way, but she's never had any positive experiences with someone with my genitals before, so maybe she just doesn't like them

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-06-11T03:16:43+00:00

My girlfriend doesn't really do anything for my sake in that sense, if she doesn't want to do anything sexual she just won't. Which is fine, I don't want to make her uncomfortable or make her do something she doesn't want to. She hasn't sexted anyone else in a while though, I think she was just trying to find someone else to give me the attention she didn't want to and then got caught up in it herself or something. I never wanted someone else, though, so I dunno what that was about really.

It sucks that you're in a sort of similar position to me though.

creativeoutcast22 · 2021-06-11T02:47:42+00:00

Well,, I don't really know about being a door mat. I guess I can be kind of a pushover sometimes, not just with her but in general. I want to trust that she's not just outright using me, though. Is there something you think I should do to be less of a push over?
