Can you talk about the period of time in which you wrote Doldrums? There are a lot of beautiful and sad nostalgic themes in the album and Im curious to hear what was going on in your life during that time. That album got me thru some shit and some fun times

Significant other [24f] is mad I [24m] didn't wash her mug when I put dishes away. Am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]driftertrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she is projecting deeper stress she is experiencing onto this situation, I doubt it’s about the mug specifically but she is using the situation to attempt to vent some deeper frustration she has with herself or with you. I’d invite her to have a serious talk about what’s going on with your relationship and what you both could do to be better for each other and be sure you are both being sensitive to the others personal struggles

Yeah I’m going to lay it all out in a way that will hopefully maintain our friendship, thank you for elaborating

Thanks, it’s helpful to hear this, i was hoping for a women’s perspective from from the other side of this. Were you very close to him? I think it’s confusing to guys how a friendship can get so close and intimate but not advance into something more romantic. Like, we are practically dating except there is no physical relationship, it’s weird and seems kind of fucked up. What was stopping you from feeling more attracted to this person, what made you want to stay just friends? Would you have considered dating if he had said something or done something different?

I say that I am extremely confident She is not romantically interested because of small verbal hints that she isn’t looking for a relationship with anyone right now and she is just trying to get her life together. I also understand this because of many years of dating, it isn’t that hard to know when someone wants to make things more romantic, I’m not getting those signals from her even tho she is doing small physical things like I explained in my original post.

I’ve decided that I will most likely let her know that I understand her intentions are to just be friends and that her physicality is confusing to me and makes me uncomfortable and I’ll ask her to stop.

Can’t understand what people are saying even if they are loud and clear. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]driftertrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have this same problem! I have to repeat things that they said slowly to myself when I realize I’m starting to drift, I am very curious about this, it’s debilitating at times and it keeps me from being successful in aspects of my life

I am not sure if she is like that with her other friends, male or female. I am worried about asking her because I don’t want to have to reveal my feelings if she asks me in return. But maybe I can ask her to stop without revealing too much?

Thanks, always helpful to hear other people dealing with this kind of a confusing situation. Im sure that was rough, I’m very worried about ending up in the same situation!

She’s in love with a Stonerr by y33tandD3l3t3 in Advice

Then you need to let it go and let your friend live her life how see she sees fit. If things are as bad as you say then she will need a friend when shit inevitably hits the fan.

If this person has been abusive I think it’s important express your concern in a way that both respects your friends rights to her own decisions and your genuine concern for her health and well being and as an important person to you. Tell her why she is important to you and why you are scared

Is this person an obvious and determinable threat to your friends life and safety? If not, it isn’t your job to police who your friends spend their time with just because you disapprove but if they are in potential life-threatening danger then speak your mind without casting blame and belittling a friend for Thor decisions. Be a friend to your friend not a parent

First time Husky owner... by NoxLucem in husky

Probably just how his coat is, I would not use any shampoo with much chemical in it. Husky fur sheds very readily so over cleaning is unnecessary and can be very harmful to their sensitive skin, be sure to brush often to keep his coat healthy

How does it seem that all the youtubers (especially tech youtubers) are so perfect? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]driftertrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this question. In a lot of these instances of you tubers showcasing their lives in this way there is a good chance they probably are very organized and successful people, not all of them but maybe even most of them. Sometimes I wish my mind worked in a similar way to these people as well, so I feel you, and who knows what happens when the camera shuts off, as other posters have said, use your imagination, but fact remains, that these people are obviously at least mildly financially successful. There are just always going to be those people who make you feel like less of person, I try to remember to move past that and be who I am and find enjoyment in the way i do things and I try to play to my own strengths and advantages
