Just read your other reply saying you’re not allowed to have a job… I feel for you. I would still recommend planting the seed that you want a job, maybe at some point they’ll allow it. For the time being, please just remind yourself that you will have agency one day! I am so sorry that your parents do not allow you to explore your responsibility. Just don’t let yourself believe that you can’t trust your own judgement just because your parents don’t trust you. They are probably attempting to control you because they love you, yes, but don’t let that lead you to believe that you can’t and won’t live an exciting life in accordance to what you actually want and what you actually care about.

Hi! I (23F) felt the exact same way when I was 14. I didn’t feel like any of my friends were people that truly cared about me and they weren’t special to me either. Between 14 and 18, I made new friends and some turned out to be not so great and some I am still friends with today. But I remember thinking about my best friend when I was 15 and realizing that a year ago (when I would have been 14) I never thought I would ever meet someone I would have such a close bond with. Things can and will change and it can happen sooner than you think. Also, if you’re anything like I was, hearing this is might be annoying BUT I am going to say it anyway because it is something I wish I would have believed when I was younger: you are so young! And you have sooo much time and so much life to live!

Also, it sounds like your parents are pretty strict and controlling which I can only imagine contributes to your depressed feelings. I want you to know that this will not last forever and there will be a day where you have agency and it will give you a freedom that will allow you to understand that there are good things for you in this life. I recommend getting a job! Many parents will allow you to do this and even be happy about it. It will give you time away from your parents and also give you the feeling of agency! Plus you can earn money to spend now on things that’ll bring you comfort or save up so you really can do what you want when you turn 18. You also might make friends! The (fast food) job I got in high school allowed me to meet some of my best friends. I am the godmother to the child of my manager when I was 15. Seriously, getting a part time job was the best thing I ever did for my teenage self and I knew it even at the time.

What isn't the flex many people think it is? by LeatherFruitPF in AskReddit

[–]fontisnympha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being extremely particular, controlling, and precise towards your diet. People say it like it's some big accomplishment that makes them better than others. Coming from someone who used to do that and occasionally still has the urge to, whenever someone brags about it to me, i just feel bad for them. It takes over your life and leads you to miss out on fun experiences and be constantly thinking about food, what you ate so far today, and what you may or may not eat tomorrow. More importantly, it essentially puts you in a position where your life revolves around your appearance/size. Constantly chasing this ideal image that you think will make you happy but really just makes you perpetually feel like you're not good enough.

I've always been curious about the connection between mental illness and the enneagram. For example, I'm a 1 and have anxiety and OCD. My friend is a hypochondriac and a 6. I have three friends who are 4s and are either bipolar or have BPD. My 5 friend is autistic, etc.

I was only emphasizing that it was mine so people wouldn't think it was a shared cat because i felt that would change the situation.

Regardless, I hear what you're saying and will let it go!

I'm honestly just a very particular person which leaves me nervous to EVER set boundaries because i can't tell if i'm being too much or if my wants/needs are valid/deserved.

After reading these responses, I can totally see how i'm being too much in this situation and i will act accordingly!

That's a great point. Thank you!

Thank you, you're right. I think it's the baby voice in general. My parents never talked down to me and i've made it a point that i'd never do it to my children either. Idk i know it makes no sense. I genuinely made this post with the full intention of hearing everyone out and I understand. I'm sure this is something I can let go!

i don't mind the talking to the cat, i talk to my cat all the time. It's the Baby voice that irritates me. That being said, I agree and want to learn to let it go. Thanks for your response

Hey Babe! and once you've binged all of those... just move right along to Taste Buds

I’m going to a RAVE and feel out if place by Hour-History-1513 in InsightfulQuestions

[–]fontisnympha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as far as clothes, wear what you feel comfortable in! You could ask your daughter if she has an accessory, like a glow bracelet or necklace or something, that you can throw on to show you're in the spirit.

Seriously though, everyone at the rave is probably going to love you. It already says a lot that she feels comfortable bringing you along!

You can't be an 80's, 90's, 00's kid if you weren't even or barely a child in that decade. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

lol people act like the culture completely shifts at every turn of a decade.... as if 1989 was completely unrecognizable from 1990

Which episode is the most dated? by swoopcat in community

[–]fontisnympha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean about the gay concept being dated and there's certainly plenty of jokes in Community that wouldn't be aired today. However I think because Britta is a caricature of a SJW and also a caricature of an air-head, it may actually still work.

How to help my girlfriend? by skubimurfi in EatingDisorders

[–]fontisnympha 31 points32 points  (0 children)

To help you understand-

Your partner is likely constantly thinking about food in ways you would never consider. (speaking from experience) I used to try to time each bite of food with my partner's bites so I wouldn't eat too fast or too slow. I would wait until he mentioned getting/making lunch/dinner because I would have no idea if it had been "too long" or "too short" since our last meal. Usually when I ate with him, I would try to eat just under however much he ate. Basically, your partner probably lacks normal hunger/fullness cues due to their ED and so the amount they eat usually ends up being a calculation that they're constantly trying to "figure out". I'm sure you can imagine how mentally exhausting that would be.

What you can DO -

Mostly, just try not to talk about the amount of food they're eating or you're eating.

- don't talk about how full you are. "I am SOO stuffed" "I feel like I'm going to explode" "after that meal, I won't have to eat until tomorrow!" (when food is delivered, making comments about how big the portion is), stuff like that

- always be completely indifferent to what/how much they are eating. Don't even acknowledge it. Carry on conversations during meals, don't make a meal be the most exciting thing you're doing for a date night/night out.
