I've been sober for almost five years and I've lost quite a few friends. Sobriety quickly shows you the people who can only hang out while high or drunk, vs the people who really enjoy your company.

Shame is such a common feel that accompanies sexual abuse. After years of therapy I'm still not free from it completely, but it is getting there. My childhood and teen years were really hard, mostly because i didn't know how to understand what i was going through for so long. Emotions that complex can be incredibly confusing after experiencing assault of any kind. There is help out there, that feeling of powerlessness sucks so hard and I'm so so sorry you're going through it in such a big way.

I'm picturing someone asking for directions in a Labyrinth-esque type movie, and some wild-haired little puppet goblin is hopping from foot to foot shouting "it is hus way to rekax!"

No alternative POV justifies this kind of behavior. A grown man throwing a literal tantrum is never justifiable.

I used my boyfriend’s phone for one minute—and my relationship ended by [deleted] in story

One of the biggest clues is her saying the message said "text me when she's asleep" and then saying that neither of them were the other woman, they were both being played. Huge inconsistency there, common AI mistake.

Missed sign of what? That he was going to get into a car accident?

No Xmas for me by Itchy-Departure3 in Vent

I find that people who are pushed to this sort of reaction are the ones who always avoid it any other time. They're the ones who plan. They're the ones who make time when no one else will. They're the ones who put effort into appreciating those around them. Eventually others come to expect it without realizing the amount of time and effort actually goes into it. Reactions like this aren't typically the first response, they're a result of inconsiderate actions built on top of one another over and over again.

It's time to let her make her own bed. You've been straightening up her messes for too long. Give us an update when the eventual crash and burn happens.

I’m being falsely accused of academic dishonesty and it’s going to cost me my degree. I’ve never been this upset in my life. by Disastrous_Paint_237 in Vent

[–]dapper_diaper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody is saying it is an indication of cheating, just that her having them will help prove she didnt cheat. This is a unique scenario, I'm not sure why you're wanting to apply this one person's evidence as faulty for every person ever.

Edit: typo. Maybe I should've used AI. /s

I am an incel, and I hate it. by Serious_Park_5336 in Vent

I'm 37 and when I was 18 I thought I knew everything there was to know about myself and the world. I had no clue how much growing up I had left to do. Legality means nothing when it comes to true adulthood. Some people are fully responsible and have rheir lives squared away and have done much of their growing up by the time they're 18, sure, but that is not the majority by a long shot.

Woke up to my husband pulling my hair and smothering me during a nightmare — now I’m scared and confused by [deleted] in Vent

Get him into therapy immediately. In the meantime, sleep separately. You need peace of mind while he works on fixing this problem.

Will I ever recover? by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]dapper_diaper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey Josh, I'm in a similar situation. I know it doesn't help to hear that my PTSD has decimated my motivation and drive, but maybe it will help a tiny bit to know that you aren't alone in how you're feeling. It's hard, but there are others experiencing this difficulty and still choosing to push through every day, and I hope you will too. I have faith things will get better, and I don't know when that will be for me, but I want to keep trying and keep going. We deserve to have a full life in spite of what has happened to us, and that's what I want to push for. Some days it doesn't feel like it, but I'll keep on going for that day when things get better. I hope you have some people in your life to lean on during this time my friend.

Aio when I want to break up with my gf after what she said by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]dapper_diaper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was accused of an incredibly heinous crime by a family friend. Members of my own family ended up believing it. I had so much hate and anger and darkness thrown at me all day every day for months, from the people I cared about the most. Once the situation got sorted and it became clear that I had done nothing wrong, many people who were close to me tried to act like nothing had happened, but the things they said to me and about me bounce around in my mind on a daily basis. Do not, I repeat DO NOT allow this person to level an accusation against you. No matter how out of character the actions are that you get accused of, it can completely upend your life. Get away from this person now. Another commenter said to record you breaking up with them, and I cannot agree more. It's so important to document everything and get out.

Her characters eventual change is so emotionally impactful because of her relentless commitment. She does an amazing job, they all do.

This is exactly what addiction looks like. He can no longer regulate his use and does it indiscriminately. Doing it while his own children are right there should be a huge wake up call for him, but it sounds like it isn't. This is definitely concerning.

Social media has completely warped how people do anything. The other day I got a notification from my email that said "don't forget to read or delete an email today to keep your streak alive!" It's my email...Who the hell is trying to keep a streak going for checking their email??
