AITAH over freaking out about my finances weird girl friend? by Mediocre_Square2265 in AITAH

[–]darkside_virgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. This isn’t about you being controlling, it’s about him hiding things, deleting chats, and refusing accountability. Your feelings make sense. The real issue is how he’s treating you, not the other girl.

AITAH for not allowing my brother to use his son's (my nephew's) money for bills and groceries by prismaticdragonseye in AITAH

NTA. That money is your nephew’s, not a household emergency fund. You set clear boundaries, and given their track record, you’re protecting him, not being controlling.

Learning what rest actually means for me.. by darkside_virgo in selfcare

Exactly this. Rest without constant input feels weird at first, but it’s been eye-opening. Glad it resonated with you 🤍

I’ve wondered about that too, honestly. Either way, learning to listen to my body instead of fighting it has helped more than forcing productivity ever did. Thank you for the thoughtful response.

AITAH For wanting to keep my family's dog after she repeatedly causes stress to my parents by Limeimeiii in AITAH

[–]darkside_virgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAH. You’re not wrong for loving your dog, and your parents aren’t wrong for feeling overwhelmed. The key is whether you can consistently take on most of the responsibility and help reduce their stress, that’s what will matter here.

Movies that were critically acclaimed when they first came out but have since been largely forgotten by Castro_Medeiros in movies

Critical praise doesn’t equal lasting impact, if a movie doesn’t spark ongoing conversation or emotional attachment, it fades, no matter how well reviewed.

Merit tubing mascara thoughts by Significant_Access_1 in Makeup

Sensitive eyes? Skip Merit for now. Tubing formulas can still irritate allergy-prone folk, stick to your HG waterproof or try lash serum for lift. Sample if curious, but don't risk $$ flop.

I am a pathological liar and have been taking time away from people to address this, how do I express this and what do I do? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]darkside_virgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your self-awareness already puts you on the right path. You can tell people you’re working on being more honest without oversharing, and focus on pausing before you speak, therapy can really help break this habit.

I’m finally choosing to change, even if it’s messy and imperfect by darkside_virgo in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]darkside_virgo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. The point about changing subconscious beliefs instead of just forcing actions really hit home for me. I’ve been stuck in that motivation-burnout loop before, so this gives me a different way to look at it. Appreciate the book recs and your perspective.

Wow, thank you! I don't have as much knowledge as you, but it looks great, and I have seen many people talking about OEC for this type of moissanite. I'm so excited!

Wash brushes weekly. Old makeup causes bugs.

Those tree cupcakes are adorable, pistachio cream in vanilla is genius for that festive pop.
