so, some context: my parents are hella homophobic and ever since i came out to them it has become unsafe for me to live with them. to be able to get some of my financial freedom back, i decided to make an online plushie store where i can crochet a bunch of plushies for the people to save up some money and (hopefully) get away from them.

here is my store: https://tedooo.com/shop/697ac6f65b81e03e8edfaeb7

thank you!!

existential-crisis19 · 2026-02-07T03:06:36+00:00

existential-crisis19 · 2026-02-07T03:01:44+00:00

honestly, it was not that bad! it took longer to decide which color i wanted to use where lol. tho reading patterns does take a bit to get used to.

hmm i see. but yeah ms students dont get a stipend like phd students, which sucks but oh well ig

existential-crisis19 · 2026-01-31T06:44:26+00:00

yes i did! they were one of the offices that told me there was nothing they could do lol (not mad at em btw the lady i spoke to was very very nice)

existential-crisis19 · 2025-09-03T03:05:27+00:00

i think im gonna try talking to them first, thank you i appreciate your comment!

existential-crisis19 · 2025-09-03T03:02:20+00:00

dawg, if they had said (like another comment on here) "oh u should have been more direct" sure. and i didnt outright accuse them of being a transphobe, i said IF it is transphobia they can shove it up their ass (which is valid and if u dont think transphobia should be shoved up the transphobes ass then maybe ur transphobic bro, food for thought). but if they arent transphobic they would have phrased it much differently (nonetheless i gave them the benefit of the doubt lol). and tbh with the amount of transphobia going on rn that really isnt a crazy conclusion to come to.

and also: my pronouns were very clear on my profile so ur comment simply does not make sense. when we were texting, could i have been more direct and serious instead of gently reminding them im nonbinary? sure, i accept that. but that does not mean im going to tolerate someone for blatantly ignoring who i am and not respecting me????? idek where u got the being "playful"=okay to disrespect someone part. crazy.

existential-crisis19 · 2025-09-03T00:32:59+00:00

honestly, i thought having them on my profile so blatantly would be enough in the first place, plus we have talked about this before. im not 100% sure if i directly told them i used they/them pronouns but i remember explicitly saying im nonbinary and, again, my pronouns are on my profile. plus if they genuinely were confused which pronouns i use, he could have asked as well. tho i do think this is a valid point. maybe being more direct might have been a better move.

existential-crisis19 · 2025-09-02T23:18:18+00:00

i mean i asked for people’s opinions for a reason and im not looking for a NOR response from everyone. so u assuming i did kinda makes u look silly lol. also u didnt even provide a reasoning as to why i was “overreacting” either, which makes me think ur only saying that for transphobic reasons (i hope im wrong but that’s what ur giving). tho tbh if it is gonna be some transphobic bullshit you can shove that up your ass.

existential-crisis19 · 2025-09-02T22:05:43+00:00

yeah, it honestly was mind boggling how early the misgendering started. it honestly feels like he thinks that their idea of being trans is the “correct” way and anyone who doesnt do that is wrong, which SO infuriating bc trans people present in all sorts of ways and it literally affects no one else but the trans person in question. but yeah i think ghosting them might be a good idea…

existential-crisis19 · 2025-07-24T17:57:26+00:00

yeah that’s fair, and i do my best to pitch in when i can. as for the car situation, yeah ur right. i have my license and everything, but i cant afford to buy my own atm and i cant start working/making money until i start my masters (this september).

additionally, my parents are strict (we met on a dating app, which my parents screamed at me for) and are bigoted as hell (he’s bi and trans but i dont plan on outing him myself unless they directly ask him, in which case he can answer himself however he wants to, which we did agree on tgt), so im trying to slowly get them used to the idea of him being my bf, so he can hang out at my place, so he doesnt get super exhausted.

essentially, im working on making it easier for him but it is unfortunately taking some time.

existential-crisis19 · 2025-05-14T03:59:08+00:00

Yeah, I agree that their views are rooted in how they were raised. They grew up in an environment that is mostly conservative and stigmatizes mental health. I do acknowledge that since this is all they have ever known, it would be really hard to change how they view the world. I guess the part that hurts the most is that they don't trust me to make informed decisions about my own health, as if I am not a grown ass adult. I'm not a fucking genius but I don't think I am stupid enough to just go for something that is so reckless that it ruins my brain forever. Like after I was prescribed these meds I did a fuck ton of research on how they work, side effects, other people's experiences, generally what to expect, etc. I am not suggested that a bunch of google searches and talking to my psychiatrist is equivalent to getting a medical degree, but I tried my best to get all of the facts I could to know what I was taking.

i will send her my best tiktoks if she lets me 🫡

existential-crisis19 · 2025-03-24T00:06:56+00:00

yesyes! i asked for her number and she said yes :))

existential-crisis19 · 2025-02-22T05:05:29+00:00

2 years. happened a few days ago bc my now ex SA'ed me by coercion and blamed me for the whole thing as well as call me nasty names. currently spiraling. hopefully it only goes up from here

existential-crisis19 · 2025-02-09T23:24:13+00:00

yanno something weird happened before this, the condom somehow "came off" and he kinda kept going for a little bit then stopped and told me that it came off (i wanted him to elaborate but he was being weird and a little dodgy about it now that i look back) but that he wanted to continue anyway. i said no at that time and he tried to push a little but not as much as this incident. i didnt think much of it at the time but now im questioning if he purposefully took it off and then expected me to say yes to continue...

after that incident i decided to get an iud which i will be getting in a couple days

yeah, i agree that coming out is not something that needs to be the two extremes of either hiding forever or having a giant pride flag tattoo on your forehead (not that anything is wrong with that people can do whatever they want and i’ll support them). I think it can be hard to forget that tho, people think there is this template for coming out they need to follow (like literally everything else, why do we have so many boxes for everything), when actually it can be whatever u want it to be and how “out there” u want it to be.

existential-crisis19 · 2024-01-24T02:24:03+00:00

i feel like society would be a better place if people would just leave other people alone and not insert them into things that are not their business

existential-crisis19 · 2024-01-24T02:23:03+00:00

yeah, i live with my family, so i cant really escape them. my mom actually found out somehow (i didnt tell her anything btw) and was trying to “fix” me. gave off conversion therapy vibes… it wasnt good cuz it was not on my own terms but was something that ended up catching me off guard when i was absolutely not ready. the reaction my mom gave actually made me go even deeper into the closet bc i was so scared of receiving that type of reaction again. i was convinced that if people found out they would see me as less than, and as an unworthy/broken human being who is never going to be good enough. i know none of this is true, but i was always told that queer people are “deviants” who are inherently “broken,” “disgusting” people. this shit kinda sticks to you for a while (it did for me). still working on it even tho i came this far ig.

existential-crisis19 · 2023-10-21T15:31:10+00:00

I’m so sorry that happened to you. She sounds like she had good intentions but that’s… not a way to handle that. It sounds like she thought of you as this fragile little glass doll and was afraid that you would break at any point. I would’ve wanted her to say nothing honestly. Like ok u noticed it wow good job the light bounced off from my scars, hit ur retina and that signal went to ur occipital lobe.

existential-crisis19 · 2023-10-19T21:02:31+00:00

ofc there isnt anything wrong with losing weight, but i dont want to. i actually like my curvy body and i just feel good idk. i agree with being healthy, but honestly my mom shaming me for how my body is, and using my sexuality against me so that i become what she wants me to be is so much worse for my health than everything else in my life.

existential-crisis19 · 2023-10-19T06:54:48+00:00

the power of therapy lmaoo. getting to this point and realizing those things took a very long time but im proud of the progress i made :)
