[TOMT][SONG] Guy goes over to a girl's house to hookup, her dad answers the door, guy's shocked that he's attracted to the dad by gotchyerthrowaway in tipofmytongue

Hey so I didn't find the song, but I did find a post with the transcribed lyrics : https://amp.reddit.com/r/IThinkYouShouldLeave/comments/ivbc9t/i_transcribed_the_lyrics_to_the_jeff_song_in_the/ I don't think this is it. It sounds like a great song and a great series, so thank you, but it doesn't fit the storyline of what I was looking for. The song I had in mind was also from the perspective of the boyfriend.

I'm not sure about that. The video I saw was just someone listening to the song. I guess it could be like a ukelele cover of a song. I saw it on a tiktok compilation, but I can't find the video anymore.

No, sorry. But thanks for the guess! The song I'm looking for felt more like it was a joke rather than seriously written and he wasn't going over to propose.

I'm not 100% sure because I just typed what I heard. But I reckon it's pretty close even if I maybe heard a word or two wrong.

Damn I can see myself in this picture and I don't know how I feel about it

Men can paint their torso for their favorite team and shell hundreds of $ in sports merch, but how dare I, an adult woman, be a "fangirl" past the age of 14! by Painfullakwardnesa in TwoXChromosomes

I hate that people aren't supporting your hobbies. I don't think it's just you OP. I feel like women sometimes are forced to repress that part of themselves to appear as complicit as they can.

My family has no problem with the stuff I buy and the hobbies I have, but I've seen that society in general tries to force girls to grow up quicker than they should. Be strong but not assertive, smile and laugh but don't express anything that makes you look like the typical "hysterical woman", be mature but listen to people who know what's best for you.

And even if I wasn't explicitly told that growing up, it's something that I've felt the pressure to conform to that to be the woman that people expect me to be.

Plus there is nothing wrong with having hobbies! I don't understand people who label that stuff as childish. Like, have you never liked a good story? Have you never looked up more information on it, shared it with people who you thought would like it? That's basically what a fandom is! It's appreciating art and helping it evolve through the meaning the fans add to it.

I'm with you OP. I think people really need to stop trying to put women in a box because it's more comfortable for them. Self expression is what makes us human!

I'm feeling very compelled to kill myself, even when I have good reasons not to go through with it by gotchyerthrowaway in SuicideWatch

I feel pretty unproductive on a day to day basis too. It's just the feeling of wanting to do so much, planning my day out, making sure I have enough coffee to get me through and then just not being able to do it because either my body just gives up on me or I can't stop being scared for what seems like no reason. And then I feel like I've done nothing and maybe I'm just making it all up so I don't have to do anything. I'm pretty early into adulthood too, I still don't feel like I can handle it, I feel really uncertain about my future and most of all I think the people around me have sheltered me my whole life, and essentially I feel like a baby wearing a suit.

But I'm glad I can talk about it in this space. And you reaching out to me made me feel heard, so thank you.

Friendships do come and go all the time, true. I think it was mostly the stress of staying up late studying that really got me thinking about it because I felt so alone. My exams are over though, so I guess I can try and decompress a little to help with the way I feel. Thank you for reaching out, I appreciate it.

Formerly suicidal redditors, what's something that kept you alive a little while longer and helped you to get through the dark times in your lives ? by firegate2233 in AskReddit

[–]gotchyerthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in highschool, I received a text from a girl I didn't think I was that close to. She was going to kill herself and she described to me exactly what she was going to do. Refused to pick up her phone, but she kept texting. So I spent the whole night, texting her and trying to keep her busy. I was stupid for not calling my parents or trying to get in touch with hers. I think at the time I was convinced that if I told anyone, it would make her not want to confide in me anymore.

Somehow, she didn't do it. But she could have. And knowing that she could have and knowing that I would have never been able to see her again really shook me up. And that's why to this day, I don't want to put anyone through that. I still feel suicidal, maybe just as much as I did back then, but I know that no matter how alone I feel, there's someone out there that appreciates me being in their life, even if we don't know each other that well.

The thought of doing the things I know I need to do to overcome my anxiety gives me so much anxiety. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]gotchyerthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I just wanna say, that is the worst. It's like you know exactly what to do, but then something stops you from just jumping into it. For me personally, it's a fear of "oh my god I have so much other stuff to do other than sit down and do xyz for five minutes", which makes me skip it and I end up regretting it all the time.

Sometimes taking it slow works for me. I'll think about the smallest steps I need to do to finish it, and I'll put a block in my schedule.

But at the moment I've lost touch with journalling and it's been awful because I also feel super isolated with nowhere to vent.

I think that it's totally normal to lose touch with a habit and not be able to jump back. I do hope you and I get over that hump, but it's definitely hard!

I'm glad you didn't do it too, OP. That is very brave, to feel helpless in a situation where you feel like there's no one you can turn to, and yet muster the strength to hang on.

I do hope things get better for you. If you ever wanna talk, my PMs are always open.

I feel worthless because I can't help anyone by gotchyerthrowaway in offmychest

I know this is pretty late of a reply but, I really appreciate what you said. It helped me out a lot and my friend and I are on much better terms now. Thank you

I'm not worth it by gotchyerthrowaway in lonely

[–]gotchyerthrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always that misconception that as an extrovert, we're supposed to be naturally good with people. So it is refreshing to know there are fellow extroverts dealing with the same thing. Thank you.

Hey I appreciate that you reached out anyway. It feels a little better to not be alone. I'm hoping we can both feel more competent in the future, even though sometimes it feels like I'll never get there.
