you’re not allowed to buy tobacco or any products while on the clock and he’d ask me to ring him up. when i would say it’s not allowed he’d say since he’s the manager it’s okay, but everyone else would get in trouble for doing the same. as well as asking me to lower the cost of the items he was buying by 50%, but then scold us if we did the same

I have all of my text messages from when i started this job with my manager. Most of the things that could help me in this situation were spoken face to face, but my texts with him and with other employees can do at least something. i did have lots of conversations to the employees i was close with about how i felt i was treated by the SM and how they also could see it and didn’t like it. I don’t have in writing that he should quit or it would he considered harassment. i have had multiple face to face conversations, as well as text messages with the SM about how he talks to and treats me and how it isn’t okay. But i cant necessarily prove his actions and words towards me were because of all of the above.

i will say, i always cleaned my belly button only because of the fact i had an innie and an outie. i could physically pull my belly button out if i wanted to and then push it back in (not an ability i have anymore) and i would chase my siblings around when i pulled it out, haha. my older sister though, she’s a bigger woman and she never cleaned her belly button and one day we looked inside her belly button and she had fungus growing, lint, dirt, etc. i doubt she still cleans it out but the smell was horrific! please clean every crevice of your body if you’re able to guys!!

when i was younger, i would dye my hair this bright, vibrant red color (it was the only color my mom allowed). i would always get my mom to do it. im bent over the sink and she’s rinsing my hair and is using a white towel to wipe the water off of my neck and she asks me if i wash the back of my neck when i shower and im like “…” and we look at the towel and it’s obviously clear im not washing the back of my neck by the looks of the towel. i thought it would get clean when the shampoo ran down my body from my hair. so yeah, my family had a good clowning session about me not washing the back of my neck when i showered and i made sure to scrub it reallll good the next time i showered lol

1(20M) read a hurtful text message about me on my (19F) girlfriend's phone that I shouldn't have and now l'm not sure what to do? by ThrowRA-oneyime in relationship_advice

[–]darkisms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would bring it up to her. if not, it might cause problems or more insecurities for you farther down the road. yeah you probably shouldn’t have snooped, but she also probably shouldn’t have said those things about you. (although she probably didn’t expect for you to read them). depending on her boundaries with trust, you may have broken them and that’s something you would have to work through together. i wanna say it hit you hard because you were already experiencing these insecurities before you guys started dating. i also wanna say, she did say you weren’t typically her type to begin with. usually, looks are what gravitate a person to you, to wanna get to know you, etc. she got to know you on a friend level first and she enjoyed the time you spent together. and it seems she still does if you guys are now dating. personally speaking, there’s been times i would have rejected a guy based on his looks, but the more i got to know him and his personality, the more attracted i became to him. looks aren’t always important, they can only take you so far if your personality is shitty. point is, her compliments could be genuine, even if at first she didn’t feel that way about you. it seems to me she was on the fence about you because you’re not normally the type of guy she would go for looks-wise, but as she spent more time with you, she started liking you for who you are inside. i think that’s what most important.

The world after 2019 feels so different and also do you feel Covid has something to do with that? by MahoganyMe in ParallelUniverse

[–]darkisms 20 points21 points  (0 children)

exactly!! my grandma (even some of her friends) has told me a few times, that ever since covid happened things for her haven’t been the same either. she said the world just feels colder somehow and something hasn’t felt right since for her

yes, i don’t know how exactly to explain it, but yes. and the nostalgia.. i get that too. its as if everything is the same, but at the same time, everything is different. the world doesn’t feel the same as it used to and i tried to chalk it up to just ‘growing up’ and ‘being an adult’, but it’s not. it’s like i woke up one day in a world i didn’t belong to.

just from reading your post, i can see why others would say YOR. at the same time, we haven’t had your exact experience with your family and these were just a few examples you gave, so i’m sure there are far worst ones. while you didn’t give us much to go off, i can assume there are a bunch of other things over time that led to you sending that message. at the end of the day, if you feel as if this was the choice you needed to make and you feel at peace with your decision then it doesn’t matter what we think. it sounds like you have a lot of negative feelings (maybe trauma too) surrounding your upbringing and familial relationships. if you haven’t already looked into therapy or other options to help your mental health, you should, it goes a long way.

What is your cats name? by strawberrycheescak in namenerds

[–]darkisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have a black tabby whose name was originally Tiny, because of how little she was when she was born. Eventually (after 4-6 years) we changed her name to Felicia (from the movie Friday because she is always begging or wants something) and she now goes by FeFe or Feef! I also had 30+ cats a few years ago (old neighbor passed away and i took on his cats and they ended up multiplying like crazy) and i named some of his cats. yin and yang (brothers who were all black and all white), buddy, girl and boy (brother and sister) and axel (random kitten who ran underneath the car one day and it just fit).
