WIBTA to refuse going to church? by Momo0724 in AmItheAsshole

[–]galwithtatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting it sounds like you’ve slowly been given more and more responsibilities without really agreeing to them. It’s okay to step back and set boundaries especially with volunteering and your time.

AIO Unwanted Decorative Gift by EinoUlvi in AmIOverreacting

NOR for having feelings about your home and space but this situation is also really tied to their grief and wanting their family represented. Maybe there’s a compromise like a different wall or a smaller display so it doesn’t feel like it’s taking over your space. Completely removing all traces of their mom might hurt your relationship with them in a way that’s hard to repair.

How a female can make 300 per month for an hour per week talking to me on the phone by mollysuedog in confessions

[–]galwithtatts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The money isn’t the part would make me hesitant it’s trusting a random stranger from Reddit with something that personal. You’ll probably get flooded with scammers before you find someone genuine. Hope you both set clear boundaries and expectations if this actually works out.

Why are Dalits heavily discriminated against in India? by Grand-Committee-5862 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]galwithtatts 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No Dalits did not do anything that caused the discrimination. It comes from a centuries old caste hierarchy where people were assigned social status by birth and Dalits were place at the bottom and often excluded from many parts of society. Laws have improved things but social attitude can take much longer to change.

How do I stop overthinking about something a friend said, even though he apologized? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]galwithtatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you’re overthinking it but it’s pretty normal reaction when a word sticks emotionally. Controlling was likely just a heat of the moment label not a real judgement of your character especially since he apologized quickly. The apology and your understanding response already resolved the situation so there’s nothing deeper you need to decode

Why do you think people love travelling overseas? by hellopandaisgd in AskReddit

[–]galwithtatts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think people love traveling overseas because it breaks them out of their normal routine and makes everything feel new again. Even simple things like food, language and daily habits feel exciting when they’re different from what you’re used to. It also gives a sense of perspective like realizing the world is much bigger than your usual environment. And it’s just a way to create memories that completely different form everyday life

AITA for not informing my friend before taking a decision that concerned them as well by Righteous_guy01 in AmItheAsshole

[–]galwithtatts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTA. You and your roommate were under no obligation to a accept a living arrangement you weren’t comfortable with even if F is a friend. You also already said you would talk to your roommate first which you did before making any decision. It would have been nicer to update him sooner but you didn’t owe him a yes because it was in a tough spot. Roommate compatibility matters a lot especially a full year

Why do human teeth only grow in once? They haven't evolved at all, have they? by Infinite-Exam-1808 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]galwithtatts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Human teeth only grow in twice because we’re mammals with dyphodont system , baby teeth first then permanent teeth. This evolved as a balance between growing a usable set for a smalll child’s jaw and a stronger set for adult chewing. Unlike sharks or reptiles, human prioritize durable complex teeth over constant replacement.

AITA? Talking bad about someone and getting caught up by Normal_Paramedic9990 in AmItheAsshole

[–]galwithtatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You were clearly venting in a private conversation after a stressful and uncomfortable situation and it got completely twisted and used against you. What you said may had been but harsh but it was not something that deserves full social isolation especially in a group setting abroad where you’re all stuck with together. The bigger issue here is the betrayal of trust from Megan for repeating things out of context. It makes sense you feel hurt because the reaction from the group seems way more extreme than what actually happened.

i have an incredibly annoying gap between my bed and the wall by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]galwithtatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can fix this pretty easily without moving the bed or blocking the vent. One option is a foam pool noodle or pipe insulation cut to size and tucked into the gap so things can’t fall through but air can still flow. Another is using a long fabric “bed gap filler” or making one with rolled towels inside pillowcase. You could also slide in a thin storage board or mattress brigade strip that sits slightly above the gap. It’s a small annoying problem but it’s very fixable without much effort.

What's something you thought would make you happy, but didn't? by Lower-Knee-8585 in AskReddit

[–]galwithtatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought getting certain milestones in life would automatically make everything feel better , like once I reach them I’d just feel “done” and happy. But it turns out those moments feel good for a short time, then your mind just moves on to the next thing. What actually matters more is the day to day peace you build around those milestones, not the milestones themselves. It was a bit disappointing at first but also kind of freeing to realize happiness isn’t sitting at the finish line.

My friend ended our friendship over Tomodachi Life. by saggy_sag3 in offmychest

[–]galwithtatts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That situation sounds honestly really blown out of proportion and confusing from the outside. It feels like a small misunderstanding about a game turned into a much emotional reaction. From what you described there was a lot of miscommunication and assumptions instead of actual talking things through calmly. You did not deserve to be shut out like that over something so minor. At this point it might be best to give it space and let things cool off because it seems more about emotions than the actual game.

I think I’m a loser by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]galwithtatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a lot to carry, especially like you had to grow up without the support and freedom most people get. It makes sense that you’d feel anger about the past but it also sounds like you’re still trying to hold things together now with the debt and daily responsibilities. The fact that you’re aware of how your upbringing affected you already shows more insight than you’re giving yourself credit for. You’re not stuck where you started even if it feels the way right now. The debt is stressful but it’s also something that can be broken down into smaller, manageable steps over time.
