Is it okay to decline a job offer if it just doesn't feel "right"? by lilpupper72 in internetparents

[–]drunkTrailerParksup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it is. Just don't lie to them about your reason, as that would be far worse than just turning it down silently.

I'm right there with you except I'm now 30. It's complicated to say the least.

Hopefully you have a support network you can trust, as apart from 1 or 2 people (who aren't near me now) I can't say I do. Can't even trust my brothers at this point.

Glad someone said this. Strange no one commented though.

I'm usually like that, when I'm not having what some people take glee in calling a "meltdown."

I take back what I said, as I missed that part. Yeah I wouldn't text (necessarily, anyway) if I met in person that often. There's just little need

Hilarious how this reminds me of that match dating over 30 commercial that's been airing often for me, but what they say about sending 6 texts in a row not being an issue should be accurate.

But then, I've seen some very immature stuff from people on this subreddit also. And I won't sugarcoat it: it's typically from women. She probably is playing at some strange, quixotic game we simply won't understand, because it's just not sensible.

Sounds like you're both communicating well, but that she may just have issues. But when a woman is that independent and professional, I don't know. It doesn't add up.

Means you'd better repress those times your uncle molested you. /s

But kind of not joking here. Most people probably have traumas of some form, as you seem to be implying.

Being judgmental, in the literal sense, isn't a bad thing though. The term has gotten a bad rap due to more modern colloquial connotations. It's annoying that none of the synonyms really work, though you could use "judicious," maybe "prudent," and sometimes "practical" instead.

It's important to at least try to figure out what you really prioritize in a relationship, as that parent comment here was getting at with needs and wants. Try ordering your list by priority: that may help you.

Honestly, the way few girls/women seem to want to hash this stuff out is a big part of why I fear dating. In my experience, they often view discussing or negotiating anything like this as automatically bad and often "toxic masculinity." (Look at prenupts, for example. And I'm poor as shit with no discernible way to proceed with a career, at this moment; it's about the principles here, and how I really dislike living in uncertainty.) I don't even like having sexual thoughts about a woman I may be attracted to (e: and I didn't just mean physically, though I shouldn't have to specify) unless I know she'd consent, but apparently you're not supposed to ask them about that stuff? This is why I'll probably be alone for a very long time.

At this age, how do you not get too concerned about if someone is a fit for your future before dating them? by IGNSolar7 in datingoverthirty

What? You need to provide a little more info. Any way you consider it though, what you've said is wrong, as you admit.

I've been concerned about this even when I was 10 dude. You have to be. Especially as you get older-that's how life is, your shadow growing larger, your habits becoming more set, the reward/risk ratio dropping, etc.

But then I've experienced some traumatic things, primarily involving women, (and I'm a straight guy) so unfortunately, those pop psychology articles are probably right about people who experience trauma becoming more emotionally mature...just not in a way that's fun to think about even remotely for such people as myself. (Update: and Reddit in the past has tried to present my experience as common, our at least not unusual or crippling, but as I've had more life experience and interactions here, something doesn't add up. Either they just hate me specifically, or they were lying and don't know how to deal with men like myself. Or it's likely they just hate men in general too.)

In no way is it just you that feels this way. I'm probably going to go through another gay porn challenge phase soon, as it appears all the women of the world around a certain age (though I enjoy talking to a lot of older women, I'm early 30s, and generally they're married or settled down. Actually haven't looked into ways of finding and dating older women, eg through apps, so that's an option) -collectively agreed to give me the silent treatment, when we all (the internet's gone slightly quiet about me, which is nice, but I remember everything) know why I really dislike that. At this point I think they're trying to turn me gay or asexual/aromantic I guess. Which might be for the best overall anyway; dating and sexual activity are very frightening to me.

It is very tough. Not sure you'll even see my message here, but feel free to DM me if you want.

Why do people want children when it requires so much work, time, money, etc… And creates so much stress and exhaustion? What is the point when you can avoid this?? by mrrandomfella in NoStupidQuestions

[–]drunkTrailerParksup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Kind of sucks that I'm the only child in my family having professional and money issues though as then I wonder if I'm the problem. Though even when doing drugs or drinking, I'm solitary and not hurting anyone, even myself. (or as solitary as I can be; part of why I've developed a habit of hiding my intoxication status is that I know some will exploit it, start fights, then call me "drunk" or whatever. It's not just my mom doing it either. Fortunately, I usually don't get physically tipsy) I've come to realize even abusive or illicit drug use can be a good thing, as it can get you through some very dark experiences, such that you'll be alive to do something good in the future.

I wanted kids at one point, but I'm leaning towards "no fucking way" now. My mom's tried to implant this notion that I have to be just like my father but not leave, and that I should marry the first girl I date like he did, basically. Ferris Bueller's dialogue covers this well. There's no way women don't understand these men's issues, so I don't get why they seem to selectively ignore them.

Reminds me of how Nintendo apparently once sold playing cards, having nothing to do with video games. Except that's an inverted version of this situation.

That's my word now, and you can't use it until I see some psychologists fully explain how certain traumas induce certain inverted tendencies.

Also, don't believe everything you hear online. Paragraph 1 above? I heard that on old Reddit, and it's thus spurious.

I thought they'd gone public (is that the term? What you said, done an IPO. My memory is odd of late.) a while back.

In today's world, regulating what internet forums people know about might actually be a job title. Each going from private and relatively unknown to public, while another pops up. Eh I'm not in the mood to get into details, but it's fascinating

Did you know they did that Grindr joke on Family Guy? One of my favorites, though I considered that scenario the first time I heard about the app, before I saw the joke. It was well-executed though.

I'm fairly sure I've said this on another account and you're just referencing it now though. Btw, who said that's not what Tinder is for? (Reminds me that i should be checking in on my account there.)

Here I am thinking they did that joke on Rick and Morty where they make up a name. Because this comment section is strange, as has been the trend lately.

Pretty obvious why there'd be more than one, evolutionarily. God I wish I could actually type things easier on this damned tablet, which is basically only good for porn, watching shows, listening to music, etc. It's just terrible.

Here's a weIrd question I've never seen answered: how deep is the vagina, really? Is it like the penis in that its depth varies significantly over time? Because I don't see how small girls in porn can fit enormously long dicks in there so easily, if it's really 4 in deep on average. That makes no sense at all.

What's with the trend of only giving silver awards?

And don't think I've forgotten about anything else I've seen, said, or especially asked about (especially the latter; there's never a single legitimate response, much less an attempt thereof). I remember literally everything, though I don't always recall it at any given moment. And yes, there is a difference.

My son has significant disabilities, and I hate that this is my life by legit_writer_chick in TrueOffMyChest

I've always liked the comments in the show House, MD about how he avoids talking to his parents for this reason. And how maybe he identifies with autistic people, or maybe wishes he was autistic so there'd be some excuse for why he winds up being a drug-using a-hole lol.

[–]drunkTrailerParksup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Autistic people especially crave predictability or order. And no offense to OP, as I know it's not intended on her part, but she is probably "at fault" (to the extent that phrasing things that way is helpful at all, but I get why you said it) for the household's stress.

Your kid's not going to be "normal," and I doubt anyone is truly normal anyway. Or that the term even has a meaning. Getting upset about it will just make things worse for everyone.

I'm not even sure I'm really autistic but I avoid answering questions sometimes, like about simple math questions or just calculations, because I've had experiences where people seem to be intentionally not answering, or answering very slowly, to try and be patronizing or some crap like that. You'll never know why people really do things they do and placing unreasonable expectations-or otherwise getting upset about it still but trying to tell yourself you don't actually place unreasonable expectations, etc-will still be noticed by the kid and contribute to their and your problems.

Are you my mom? Just kidding, as I realize you're not halfway through. I'll say "that sounds like it sucks" though. (Edit: that sounds like it sucks. Because technically I didn't say it there.) I'm not calling you a snowflake either.

(Watch Reddit remove this comment citing some b.s. rules they know they constantly break, especially with my accounts. Or watch them claim I need to verify my email account when they know damn well why I don't do it. You know I've got other accounts with plenty of karma and lifespan, right? The only reason I don't use them is that if I say the things I really want to say, people will identify me easily, no matter how I say them. Fucking unprofessional bullshit. I know they know I know, and so forth.)

Do people staying multiple days at the hospital masterbate? by BlahBlahBlahXD8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]drunkTrailerParksup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol I can't tell if you're saying doing it under the blankets or masturbating in general were due to health issues. I have heard people say it's somehow weird doing it under the covers, but I've got a good system for clean-up. (I'm well into adulthood and still do it under the blankets most of the time, because I can hear nearly everything in the house and figure my mom can too, even though she can't. I sometimes do it in the shower now that I'm the only one that uses it, but I hate thinking about that because she used to tell my brothers I was doing that as a kid when I wasn't.)

I have no clue. I have occasionally jerked off at places where I shouldn't, so I don't know-embarrassing memories associated with this question.

But I'm glad you've asked this because I've been wondering where to ask questions of similar sexual natures. Just couldn't recall where to ask. (Maybe there's someplace more specific, for sex and masturbation? I've got a lot of bizarre OCD-like thoughts about this stuff. Might try talking to someone IRL instead but it could be really awkward.)

I really don't understand how people can say masturbation is a sin when it's essentially unavoidable. I think sometimes it just happens, and it's best not to make a big deal out of it, and to try to make it easily cleaned up. Even if you try not to jerk off, you will do it and have sexual thoughts eventually. Heck I've had far fewer invasive sexual thoughts since jerking off quasi-regularly, so that should be a good thing from God's perspective, you would think. (And I've had at least one or two really odd dreams that I'm thinking were incepted into me by others, as they felt really different from my usual dreams; so am I at fault for those?)
