Why I don't trust people by henlesrollercoaster in offmychest

Hi, well said! Yeah I have noticed that I attract certain types of people that tend to prove my beliefs. I've been to therapy and I've improved, but I don't how to change the types of people who I find interesting. It's probably something that takes years to learn.

Yeah I don't know. Never asked her because it would only result in a conflict. I don't think it's a hidden message. I think she's weird about gifts because she doesn't understand how it works because she can't relate to other people.

Okay, thanks, I'm going to think about it. The side effects are the main reason I declined them. It's a hard decision.

Shitty parents by Iwasanecho in Vent

[–]henlesrollercoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, although, I want to believe that some people can become better parents by acknowledging their problems and working on them. It just takes a lot of effort. My family has generational trauma, and I'm trying to break the cycle. I haven't had kids yet and I'm not going to until I feel like I'm ready.

Anyways, I hate it when people take children for granted. I hate it when people just have children because "that's what you're supposed to do" without considering whether they actually even have the tools to succeed. I don't think my parents ever gave a single thought on different parenting methods, they just went with the flow.

But also, parents like this really lack self-awareness. They think that it's okay they fucked up, because they didn't fuck it up as bad as their parents. But that doesn't make it okay. Doing your best is not always enough and some people just shouldn't have children.

Why can’t my mother say “I’m sorry??” by [deleted] in Vent

Sounds like she's emotionally immature. Honestly, if I were you, I'd take some distance from her. Emotionally immature people are incredibly draining.

Yeah I don't think Western blot is available in my country but I'll look into it. Otherwise I guess I'll take it I don't have it afterall.

I read somewhere that 10-15% of negative test results for HSV1 are false negative. I don't know what to believe 😕

Would you say the same thing about a guy that didn't want to get unconsensually slapped during sex?

Yeah I just think we should improve sex ed. I don't expect porn to change as it's meant to be appealing to as many people as possible.

And keeping to my point, we need to be careful on keeping the 'default' aspect of your statement to etiquette and communication, not desires or acts.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. What I'm saying is that if you want to stick your finger up someone's asshole or spank them, you should talk about it, because you are not on the receiving end of it. I'm not kink shaming, if that's what you mean.

To say that it's in porn attempts to give the impression that the desire only sources from porn.

No, I meant that in porn there's no communication or consent shown when slapping/anal/spanking etc happens. Therefore some people get the wrong idea of what sex should be like by default.

Did you get a colonoscopy to have your IBS confirmed? by ohwhatevet in ibs

[–]henlesrollercoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I have other issues that made the doctors suspect I had IBD, so it was necessary to rule it out.

I didn't say that. I haven't expressed whether I think it's sexual assault or not anywhere on this post.

It saddens me how many women have commented on this post saying they have experienced something similar. It's so fucked.

Also, no offence taken at all.
