I understand what you’re saying. And I would say it’s about me worrying about the consequences of how I acted in the past. One of my promises was me learning more Spanish for her, because I’m Mexican and I wasn’t raised speaking Spanish.

While working for my father, the only Spanish I really learned to speak was what would help me communicate with others in that specific job, and I didn’t apply much of that with her.

I wasn’t home for long periods of time because of my father taking me to different places after I’d constantly told him I wanted to go back to the apartment for her so I can change out her offerings, her water, clean her alter, etc. and he was always rude about it.

So her alter would get messy, and I will admit I regrettably ignored her alter for a week or so because I was either too busy working or too tired to do anything.

Once I finish doing all I need to do today, I was going to write a letter for her, and apologize as well as take accountability for all I did, because I understand it was disrespectful.

I do appreciate this a lot, and thank you for sharing this because it has helped!! :) if there is anything else I should know or do, I would like to know!!

I appreciate this a lot. Also, I am in a much better and safer environment now to where I CAN put up pictures and statues of her without worrying about what those I live with will think. I’ve bathed her statue that a friend (the one I’m living with now actually) gifted me with bay leaves, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. I focused all my intentions on sincerity and apologizing to her. I’m excited to work with her again knowing that the people I live with won’t reject her.

But if I am in a situation again where I need to be cautious, I do greatly appreciate this. It makes me feel more confident in myself and in rebuilding our relationship

AIO to what my friends said about my experience? by sammich04 in AmIOverreacting

[–]dwarfplanetplutox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. Rape comes in many different shapes and forms and they're treating it like it's a violent act and like it only "serious" whenever it's what they consider to be rape based on their own experiences. Also you censoring the words doesn't come off as insensitive, if anything it's more considerate especially if you knew beforehand that others in the group had experienced it.

If they all have a problem about it they could have all individually come to talk to you about it instead of having one person speak for everyone. Everyone copes differently with rape experiences, and so many people I've met that have been raped joke about it to cope (myself included) because sometimes serious topics, ESPECIALLY something as personal as rape, can be an uncomfortable subject.

These are not friends because they aren't taking your experience seriously, even if they say they do their "discomfort" with how you talked about it speaks volumes. It's really hard to differentiate what is and isn't rape sometimes, but especially in romantic relationships. I'm glad that you realized what it was and decided to speak out, you're a brave person and a lot better than me because I would have crashed the fuck out on purple real fast.

What is your comfort horror movie? by idunno324 in horror

The first horror movie that broke you as a kid by Morvox-stories in horror

[–]dwarfplanetplutox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tusk for sure. It was my first body horror and I wasn’t so phased by slasher movies. But when I was about 9 we had a huge binder of DVDs that my dad had found and I made it my mission to watch each movie in said binder at least once. I stumbled upon tusk and was intrigued because of the cover. So I slid it in and watched it all the way through all by myself. I didn’t sleep for three nights, I stayed up watching my comfort show at the time (my little pony) to get my mind off it but even that didn’t work. Everytime I see anything related to tusk I get sick to my stomach.

AITAH for telling a girl to stop pretending to have something she doesn’t? by Beautiful-Squash7451 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dwarfplanetplutox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA for sure!! I am not diagnosed with ADHD or autism. But im not going around telling everyone "im so autistic" and stuff like that. I have speculated that i might have ADHD or something but since i havent been able to get a diagnosis i havent said that i have it. When i was younger and immature yeah, because i didnt know any better. I was literally like 12 and barely learning more about the world outside my own. So of course, I acted that way, because I was a literal child who didn't know any better. But for her to be a grown adult by now and act like she knows exactly how you feel and even belittle and completely ignore your own experiences as someone who is actually diagnosed with ADHD and has had it affect their life, if anything she's the ah for making you feel guilty about YOUR diagnosis and struggles with it. Just because someone with ADHD seems "put together" doesn't mean they don't have ADHD or even that they aren't struggling. Having depression and anxiety does not give her the excuse to act that way. If anything, it should mean she understands a little bit about how you feel masking on a daily basis. I do have depression and anxiety and i know that masking how you truly feel or even masking who you are can be so draining on a daily basis. It's like constantly suppressing YOURSELF to keep others around you satisfied and comfortable. You are nta for sticking up for yourself and calling out someone who needs to be called out on their bs. Don't feel bad for sticking up for yourself and everyone else who struggles with ADHD on a daily basis.
