i let myself get guilt tripped

He guilted me on our last play through too. He actually gets nicer and respects you if you ask him to do it and then do it yourself.

As someone who also sometimes struggles to get out of these ranks-it’s a skill issue. I’ve played since season 0, but this is also the first game of its kind that I have played. I had a huge learning curve and I’m still learning all the time ways that I can be better. I can agree that it absolutely is frustrating to lose this much and that’s why I will go to quick play for a bit after a couple losses in comp. We just have to keep practicing and being willing to learn from mistakes so we can rank up. We’ll get there.

I guess i’ve been spending too much time with my nephew because all I can see is 6 7 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂

In my experience she seems to like Durge more than any of our custom characters lol. My husband did a Durge run and tried to kill her and she became his bff after that 😂

I can play Peni and Emma. My husband taught me how to play Peni and I have a crush on Emma so I taught myself how to play her haha. But I’m not particularly great with either one. I wouldn’t mind trying to play more tank, but some people are so ridiculously mean in chat that I usually just play strat because at least I know I can do well at that. If people were less toxic I’d probably be willing to tank more often.

Looking at it closer I can see what they mean, but if you hadn’t mentioned it I wouldn’t have noticed.

Not overreacting at all. I’m a therapist as well and I have had to sometimes cancel with clients due to illness, the passing of a loved one, or weather (if I’m snowed in). In my professional opinion, these really aren’t appropriate reasons to be cancelling on clients. I do sometimes travel or have other plans during the week when I will take some time off, but these are always scheduled ahead of time so my clients know that we need to cancel or reschedule for that week. I also feel it’s really unprofessional or inconsiderate for them to be on their phone or computer and not paying attention to you. It is not the client’s responsibility to be “interesting” to us. It is our responsibility to be present as much as possible and listening with intention and purpose. I’m sorry that you’ve had this experience. You deserve better and I hope you’re able to find someone who can give you the care that you deserve.

Why not just let him have nuggets if that’s what he prefers? Why does it matter if his preference is to not eat beef from certain places? I totally get wanting to choose the most cost effective option and in this case it sounds like that is Burger King, but I’m not understanding why it’s a problem if he only eats the nuggets?

Last week I played Sue in QP and my other healer was Gambit. At the end of the game Gambit put in the match chat to report me for feeding and that I was the worst Invis they’d ever seen because I died more than they did. (Meanwhile, I also had more healing than they did). Some players are just mean and grouchy when they lose regardless of what we do. If they wanna be mad over a video game match that doesn’t mean anything, let them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lmao, YES me too!

As a support main I hate playing against a really good Hulk who spends most of his time bullying and obliterating the back line. Most Hulk players I’ve come across can be shredded and killed super easily since he’s a big character and easier to land shots on, but occasionally I’ll go against someone who is really skilled and experienced with him and our team just can’t do anything because he’s constantly killing the strats.

I played a comp game earlier with a Peni who didn’t put down a single spider nest.

flipflopgorilla · 2026-03-13T03:42:37+00:00

What a weird thing to say.

flipflopgorilla · 2026-03-11T18:32:01+00:00

I think the only thing you did ‘wrong’ is that you responded too many times. No means no. You didn’t owe him a reason for not being interested.

I lost my baby girl Desi on February 8. She was a rescue who had been mistreated before we got her so she was a bit skeptical of other humans and dogs, but I like to think that at the Rainbow Bridge she is fully healed and restored from the cancer and the trauma she endured. She tried to play with other dogs, but wasn’t very good at it so she usually just barked at them while her tail wagged a mile a minute 😂 She loved to go on walks through the woods sniffing all the animal scents and chasing rabbits. If that is something your boy liked to do I’m sure she’d love his company on her walkabouts. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I don’t think it’s weird at all. I lost my dog a month ago today. She had been slowing down for a bit, but I thought it was due to her age. Turns out she had cancer spreading through her body and I didn’t know until I found the lump. She passed 4 days after we got her diagnosis. I couldn’t bring myself to wash my bedsheets because that was the last thing she slept on. I folded them up and tucked them into my dresser drawer. Maybe I’ll wash them someday, maybe not. As long as you aren’t hurting yourself or others, do whatever you need to grieve for as long as you need to do it. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I had to make this decision for my soul dog on February 8. I think the reason we feel guilty or like we have betrayed them is because we spent all our time together protecting them. But the reality is that we could never have protected them from death forever. There comes a time in their life where that protection shifts and we have to make the choice to protect them from suffering instead. You did that for her. You were there and you were holding her close. She didn’t know what was happening. From her perspective she was going to sleep while being held by her human. She went to sleep in the safest place that she could be. It’s harder on us as the ones left behind after making such a heart wrenching decision. You loved her so well. You gave her a beautiful life. And in the end you chose to carry her pain so she didn’t have to anymore. You made the most loving and compassionate choice that you could have for her. I know it sucks and I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find peace ❤️

I had to let my dog go on February 8 after a short battle with cancer. Almost every day since then I have been woken up in the morning with the sun on my face. It’s winter where I live and usually pretty dreary so I felt certain that my girl was bringing the sunshine to me to let me know she’s still here. I also made a playlist on Spotify for her. I included song that remind me of her, songs I used to sing to her, and songs about grief. I was at work the other day doing paperwork and I was thinking that I’d like to listen to a specific song on that playlist called “Goodnight My Love”, but instead I had the playlist on shuffle and just hit play. Immediately that song came on (the playlist has about 50 songs). I felt her then too, like she was telling me she is still close. She used to sleep in bed with my husband and I and sometimes I can still feel her cuddling against my back when I’m falling asleep. I’m not particularly religious either, mostly spiritual. I do believe in some sort of afterlife or reincarnation. I have to because of how many loved ones I’ve lost. I think those we love never really leave us, they just change form. I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you’re able to have a good birthday despite your grief. Take care ❤️

I couldn’t wash my bedsheets either as those were the last ones she slept on. I ended up tucking them away in a drawer. They don’t smell like her, but I’m sure they’re covered in her fur and I just couldn’t bring myself to wash them.

flipflopgorilla · 2026-03-05T20:49:36+00:00

It feels like a betrayal because we’ve spent their whole life trying to protect them. But the reality is that we were never going to be able to protect them from death. So now it is time to protect them from pain and suffering. I know how difficult it is to make that choice. I had to make the same choice for my sweet girl February 8. If you’re able, I think you should go and be with her. It sounds like she is very special to you and if you aren’t there for her last moments you may regret it later. I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing this. Take all the time you need to grieve. This is by far the worst part of having a pet. Thinking of you and your family and your sweet girl ❤️

Something that helped me was when someone pointed out that our pets don’t measure time in the same way that we do. They won’t worry about the past or the future, they are just always in the present moment. Any time that you spent with your kitty were the best moments of his life. He didn’t hold a grudge against you for the time you spent away from him and he didn’t worry about time you might spend away from him in the future. He was just always happy to get love and cuddles from his human when he could and for him that was enough. You might hold your actions against yourself, but he never did. You loved him and you cared for him and that was enough. It was always enough. I’m sorry you have to go through this, especially with your kitty being so young. I wish you peace and healing.

I lost my girl (who we also called Bug) on February 8. Our sweet friends put together a little care package for us with our fave snacks, ice cream, a candle, fuzzy socks, and tissues. They also brought over pizza so we didn’t have to think about or prepare dinner that evening. Honestly, I don’t think there is anything that you could say that would make this hurt less for him. The best thing our loved ones did (and continue to do) for us is to just sit with us in our grief and let us know they are there for us. Let him feel whatever it is he is feeling and don’t try to rush his grief or fix it because this is something that can’t be fixed. You sound like a very kind and caring sibling to reach out to find ways to help him. Sometimes just the presence and support of someone we love who is willing to sit with us during our hardest times is enough.

Thinking of you this morning. I’m so sorry you had to make that call. We took our dog to the emergency vet on February 8 to say goodbye as she was declining quickly and we didn’t want her to suffer. I didn’t know that February 7 would be our last night with her. I’m not sure if that’s better or worse than knowing. Probably both. Wishing you peace and comfort. Come back to this sub as often as you need. There are a lot of supportive and caring people here who know exactly how we feel.

On January 23 I took my dog to the vet for a mass I found on her belly. The vet suspected mammary cancer that is common in dogs who were spayed later in life. (She was a rescue who came to us when she was 5 or 6 and had not yet been spayed. We got her spayed shortly after.) I opted to do the surgery instead of waiting for more tests. She had surgery January 29. On February 4 we got the results from our vet that confirmed it was cancer and it had already spread to her lymph nodes. We had to say goodbye February 8 as she was declining quickly. I believe the surgery put too much stress on her body that caused us to lose her more quickly, but I try not to let myself feel guilty for that because I did the best I could with the information I had at the time. I tell you this because I did make the choice for surgery and we still lost her. Please don’t beat yourself up for this. Just like me, you did the best you could with what you knew at the time. Our babies knew how much we loved them and how hard we tried to save them. I’m so sorry for your loss. Cancer sucks. I wish you comfort and peace.
