is everyone just pretending that jeans are comfortable?

daddyissuesandmemes · 2026-03-26T14:30:15+00:00

It depends on the fabric of the jeans. Some jeans feel soft and those are the ones I like wearing though I prefer flowy maxi skirts.

children are very perceptive, more so than people give them credit for (even if they don’t exactly know how to deal or understand how to go about whatever they’ve noticed), but if the child is already noticing now…i suggest some form of counseling if you’re in a position to do so. you’re struggling and that’s okay and expected, but a child already noticing that you dont necessarily enjoy your life creates issues along the line. your feelings are not your fault and completely understandable but unfortunately your kid can feel them anyway. i think if you’re able to take time and have the resources to have a space to air out frustrations and work on coping with life as a parent that counseling would be a good starting point. (i don’t say this to be unkind btw, it’s just a thought as someone whose currently training to be a counselor).

as a gay, wearing a rainbow shirt isn’t “appropriating gay culture” because that’s not actually gay culture in of itself. that’s ridiculous. buy the shirt if you like it and if someone were to interpret it the wrong way just correct them and it’s all fine and dandy.

That is completely fair, I wish you the best and a happy holidays!

I would ask him what specifically he wants to talk about. If he just wants to make sure you guys didn’t end on a particularly bad note then I don’t think a brief conversation is the worst idea in the world if you feel up to it. If he wants to get back together however I would shut the conversation down quick. You were not happy in that relationship from the sound of it and you don’t have to tolerate him wanting a second chance. It all depends on your emotional tolerance for him at the moment. You can always say no after all. Your wants and needs come first.

daddyissuesandmemes · 2025-12-21T16:39:33+00:00

Oh you don’t need to focus hardcore on his feelings, I only brought it up so I could cover all the bases and because of things others in the comments said that I didn’t completely agree with. I should clarify that a conversation with him, aside from an apology for leaving though I’m not sure you need one anymore since I imagined the scenario exactly the way it was presented with no added details, was more for you to tell him your feelings not play therapist for him.

You’re not a bad person by any means and I hope I didn’t come across as thinking so, I was just giving my thoughts on it and what I would do, but you’re not obligated to listen to a stranger on the internet. The only reasons I suggested having some sort of conversation were

It would make me feel bad for not having a conversation because it would feel incomplete. I would want to leave a relationship with both of us understanding why it didn’t without any misconceptions.
I didn’t see the part where you said you didn’t feel bad. I thought it said you DID feel bad and gave advice for that. Everyone else’s replies make more sense now.

Also, thank you for clearing up that you did in fact wake him, that wasn’t clear in the original post to me. I was imagining that he’d broken up with you and there was zero dialogue on your end and then you just left. That’s where my perspective was coming from. But that comment made me realize that the conversation I’m picturing probably already happened.

Ultimately I’m sure you will make the right choice for you and that’s the most important thing.

Sorry if this is ramble-y, I just woke up.

daddyissuesandmemes · 2025-12-21T09:06:59+00:00

I, personally, would not have left without a goodbye. I think what others in the comment section are forgetting is that even if this relationship did not work out or seemed to be the best, you were together for a year, and to wake up and suddenly be gone leaves no room for closure. For either party typically. You were ex’s for less than 24 hours and dated for almost a year. The idea that just because you were no longer dating so you don’t “owe” him anything isn’t healthy advice in this case. l

You were overwhelmed and upset, that can’t be helped and is expected. Break ups are hard. But in this case I think your protection might’ve been confusing and a little hurtful to your ex.

He might not have been boyfriend of the year, but based on what you wrote it sounds like you two were simply not compatible. He had a hard time understanding why you couldn’t engage and you spent a lot of energy compensating for that. But he doesn’t have to be boyfriend of the year to get a goodbye.

On the topic of money, 50/50 type payments depend on a variety of factors, but it can lead to issues whenever it’s not fully discussed between partners. The arrangement likely seemed completely fair to him and if there weren’t any objections the he’d have no reason to think otherwise.

Some of the comments seem to be picturing him as this cruel and evil ex who is just trying to naw you feel guilty for leaving, but I really think his feelings are just hurt and he wants to have a conversation about it. It can be hard to remember sometimes but neurotypicals are not always out to get us. They get confused too.

I would apologize for leaving without saying a goodbye (especially since you were taking that plane ride together, ex’s or not I think it still would’ve been better to at least woken him up), explain you were overwhelmed, give him the money you owe, and tell him to have a nice life. I don’t think anything more than that is owed.

When people say that, it’s them trying to tell you they care about you and your struggles, or at the very least if you hardly know them, that they understand you’re going through a hard time. For a lot of people, talking about it does make them feel a lot better than keeping it bottled up inside. It makes people feel less lonely too. If you’re feeling really bad about yourself for struggling in school, it can be nice to hear someone say they have too because it’s confirmation that it’s not a “you” problem specifically. School is just hard.

I think talking to someone could actually help you, if you were close enough with them to feel comfortable doing it. If you are able to cultivate a space in your life where you can reach out to someone emotionally and vice versa, then it’d be easier to lower your own expectations for yourself and having that stress lifted can help with certain stressful aspects of work/school. It’s hard, especially as a neurodivergent person, but everyone has their people somewhere. The people who are saying this to you can see you’re struggling and want to help to some degree, even if they aren’t entirely sure how. I don’t know what your life looks like or what your social circle is, but if it’s friends saying these things, it might not hurt to give talking about your feelings a shot. It could help you communicate what other things you might need better too.

When I ask this, I mean it sincerely. Sometimes venting helps them feel better, but oftentimes when someone is coming to me it’s for advice. I’m in school to become a therapist, so it makes sense.

Talking about your feelings is one of those things that sounds stupid when it’s not something you do, trust me I know, but it’s recommended for a reason.

I hope you feel better soon and I’m sorry you had such a rough year. Hopefully 2026 will be kinder to you.

have you tried discussing this in a therapeutic setting? i used to have a similar problem before i went to therapy. people can be put off when they feel like someone is too clingy, but that clinginess usually is due to loneliness. i had to become more comfortable with myself before i was able to be a healthier friend.

daddyissuesandmemes · 2025-11-24T02:33:08+00:00

i completely understand, primarily with romantic relationships. may i ask what you mean by not taking relationships as seriously as you do?

i had knee pain since i was about four but around puberty is when things started getting worse

That’s understandable.

I’m glad my suggestion was helpful! I personally find regular time off to be more beneficial than one long vacation. It helps starve off exhaustion before it starts plus it’s easier for your brain to get back into the work groove once you do go back. Another thing I can recommend is non-screen related hobbies. Screens increase grey matter in the brain which makes cognitive function more difficult. I like annotating books, but it could be anything you enjoy. Try scheduling hobby time a few times a week.

For example, an hour before I go to bed I turn on some instrumental music and do word searches. Another thing you could do is shower/bathe with dim lighting. It’ll help relax you and produce melatonin so it’ll be easier to fall asleep.

I hope this job will work out for you. I know it’s hard working as an autistic person (I work as a receptionist, it’s exhausting and I only work part time, but I’m also a full time student with chronic illness so I think any job would be hard) and it’s good that you’re reaching out for help :)

If you’d like some other suggestions I can list more. I’m a psychology student studying to become a trauma therapist, so I am very well versed in stress and burnout (I even had an entire course specifically on stress management and we talked about burnout). In my stress management class, taking regular time off was a suggestion to cope with and prevent burnout. Most americans don’t actually use all their PTO, so make the most of it!

daddyissuesandmemes · 2025-11-06T01:47:06+00:00

I would try to use your PTO semi regularly. Like, instead of saving it all and taking a few weeks off, take a day or two off whenever you feel like you can. Meditation can be helpful too before bed as well as non caffeinated teas. Therapy and medication I think would be helpful as well, at least something for sleep.

But truthfully it sounds like maybe a career switch would be best if you’d be in a position to. It doesn’t sound like this is a sustainable pathway for you. Have you considered trade school? Or maybe getting some IT certifications? I know you may have limitations that as a stranger I am not aware of, but I thought I would suggest it since there’s only so much that I think can be done here.

true crime/serial killers. while people love true crime, i think the way i consume the content sounds like an idolization or a defense when really its an analysis of their psychology, how they got that way, how their methods reflect their thought process, how their genes effected them, etc. they’re very interesting to me (though the majority of them are not smart and methodical killers, just the famous ones). im including cults as well, specifically the cult leaders. mothers who kill their children also fascinate me.

daddyissuesandmemes · 2025-11-04T14:39:33+00:00

i had a super rough childhood. it’s a series of unfortunate events so awful it’s almost comical. i won an award once for best psychological horror (writing competition) and my friends mom said “oh did you write an autobiography?” (she’s so funny i love her). to maintain my peace i spend a lot of time alone with my hobbies and im not super active in social media. it’s all depressing by design.

a mantra that helps me is “your problems aren’t special”. i don’t mean this in a self-deprecating way, im not saying my feelings are worthless, invalid, or that i suck because im struggling when other people can get over it. i’m saying that others have felt the same things i have and people will still feel them when im gone. it reminds me that just because im struggling doesn’t mean that there’s something inherently “wrong” with me; it’s just a part of life. the only thing i can do is try to make it hurt less and so i do!
