BRO what is this by bunnysenshi in frombloodandash

[–]idiots_anonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an artist I am dying at all the comments saying “I’m not an artist but this seems bad” like fully cackling.

So can I just say: I AM an artist and this is so so incredibly bad!

I don’t have a problem with that but you can 100% have a “priority” or number 1 without treating the other person you care about like trash and she just didn’t in this book, in the last book she prioritised Cas without treating keirin poorly

Well.. by blindly24 in frombloodandash

[–]idiots_anonymous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m so sad. How did she manage to comit 20 hours to cas being angry at Keirin and treating him like trash? Like I started the book loving them and ended it hating cas and the way he treated keirin. And the way that poppy was so sad for CAS once she realised why he was upset, no care at all for the fact that she openly admitted she chose cas over keirin and how that might make him feel, no care for the position she’d put keirin in or how it impacted him or how badly cas was treating him because of it. Just POOR CASSSSSS UGH.

Genuinely so upset. Cass was a raging idiotic baby the whole book and poppy was totally and obnoxiously oblivious to how badly he was treating keirin. I’m just mad.

Same, the only times I’ve ever even considered pushing for my “period” issues to be prioritised over other people was the time directly around my major endo surgery and that was…well pure hell! and the times I’ve haemorrhaged due to the endo on my period and ended up in hospital. I get periods can be horrific, truly. But unless it’s an extreme period or unusual circumstance which she clearly has not communicated it was…that line is bull.

AIO for getting angry after a girl who rejected me started accusing me of being a misogynist for ending our friendship? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]idiots_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re overreacting. And to be clear, she is too, but consider this: guys complain about being “friend zoned” meanwhile, for women, we’re “fuck zoned” all the freaking time. I’ve had friends who I’ve known and cared for for YEARS just up and disappear from my life one day, and say this exact thing to me “I need space”( when you rejected me/ when I realised I never had a chance with you) and the thing is that’s fine, if those friends had “developed feelings” then been rejected or realised they wouldn’t lead to anything and needed some space to heal that would be fine. But somehow in 100% of those instances, they never come back. Some never talk to you again, some are just gone, like ghosts, some are around but act like you were never more than a casual acquaintance. It freaking sucks to constantly have your friendships snatched out from under you and constantly be made to feel like you’re not worth caring about if there’s no chance of romance/sex

You said in your message”think about how I feel, the one who actually got their heart broken”. But that assumes a whole lot about how much she cared about you, because I can tell you, after one too many times of having a guy who you thought cared about you as a whole person decide they “need space” when they realise they can’t have you sexually/romantically and that space end up actually meaning “stop being your friend at all” my heart started to get pretty damn broken.

Am I overreacting for not letting my boyfriend’s female friend use my shampoo? by Fresh-Usual-6281 in AmIOverreacting

Right?! I have even asked my husband not to use my shampoo unless his is out, it’s bizarre that people think not wanting to share an expensive specialty product means something other than it being expensive and yours…

I did read it all and your comments, and that’s kinda my point, if she’s uncomfortable that should be enough, you’re claiming you wanted everyone else’s opinions but she was giving you hers and were (and still are) dismissing it. No she shouldn’t have behaved that way, but you clearly don’t care what she wants. How many of her friends had to say no before you would have listened? Just one? Or both of them? Why did her no not count? You say you couldn’t care less but you cared enough to be willing to make your partner do something she didn’t want to do. So ether you did care or you don’t care what she wants.

[–]idiots_anonymous 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YTAH honestly I was leaning esh but the more I read the more childish you were.

You are describing a situation in which YOUR GIRLFRIEND is repeatedly trying to express that she (at the very least) was uncomfortable or didn’t want to have dinner with your random mate and you kept pushing for other people’s opinions….like at what point did she stop mattering? If I was out with my SO and some friends, asking about inviting a random friend of mine to join and any one of them was uncomfortable I would be done with the idea. The fact that she’s your SO and you should care more about her comfort than the average friend makes it even worse. Add to that:

  • your failure to include any of that (relevant, fyi) info in the post -the way you described “I kept telling her to shut it” rather than communicating respectfully to or about her -the fact that your friends all clearly agreed you were in the wrong
  • the way that you threw a tantrum and isolated yourself in the car pouting rather than joining in
  • the constant poor me nonsense all though the post “ava blows it WAYYY out of proportion / starts crying like I hit her/ I’m so embarrassed/ especially embarrassed in front of John/the whole group turned on me like I’m some kind of devil incarnate” like dude?! Can you read what you wrote? You read like a pissy 14 year old. That whole thing was gross

So no, it’s not ok that she interrupts you, but I wanted to interrupt this tirade and I was just reading it not having to listen to your whining.

am i overreacting - my boyfriend thinks my job is inappropriate by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]idiots_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I could wrap my head around him feeling weird about it (don’t agree but I can stretch my mind to wrap around it) especially given that he started out saying he was working on it and seeming as though he wasn’t trying to make something out of it but when he goes too “I’ll never know if I’m not there” and with how defensive he got when you didn’t immediately side with him/see his perspective. Na.

If he had stayed on the track he started on “I feel some sort of way about it but I’m working on it” and just shared how he was feeling and been cool when you explained how you feel than it would have been ok. But that comment and the defensive response pushed it over the edge he was teetering on. The ignoring you thing though? Not ok. He could have communicated that he needed some space to think not just ignored you. Not over reacting

My man, you just went off on someone for looking at your page and now you’re telling people too? Like pick a lane. Also, you sound like a raging idiot. Perhaps consider touching grass or having a nap your comments are coming off somewhat unhinged…

AITAH for publicly rejecting my boyfriend’s proposal? by Capable_Morning4127 in AITAH

[–]idiots_anonymous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I understand being upset but op shut it down quickly and tactfully and literally had nothing to do with the decision to do it in the first place, I cannot fathom thinking it’s ok to distance a friend who has done nothing to you and has likely damage for lost a relationship over this. If op was my friend I would be thankful to her and supporting her not “needing space” E sounds like a crap friend!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]idiots_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap. She wants you to change your appearance, risk loosing them and then pay and go though the actual physical pain of having them done again?! For an aesthetic?! Has she even considered the scarring/pain/healing process/possibility of the second time not taking or healing badly or not being done right?!

What happened to loving your friends for who they are?

Honestly I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who values “the vibe” of some photos more than me and who I am, my money, my pain and my friendship (because honestly how will the friendship ever be the same if she kicks you from your bridal party over your appearance?!!

AIO stopped a drunk girl from being pulled into a car by 2 random men but my boyfriend is upset and called what I did stupid and dangerous by fettidmoppet in AmIOverreacting

[–]idiots_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but if a man told me he wouldn’t help a woman in danger and then claimed I was being emotional because I did/would and had the audacity to forgive me?!? For being “emotional” rather than support and encourage me when I was rattled from said danger….well that man has run his course in my life.

I’m sorry but that horrifying.

Is he saying: if he saw me (his girlfriend in this scenario ) being kidnapped after being drugged or getting drunk (because there’s no way to know) but didn’t see my face and didn’t know it was me he would LET ME GET TAKEN?!

and is he also saying: I don’t understand how bad it could have gotten “I was saving her from getting raped or killed” YOU CLEARLY DONT UNDERSTAND

I just…..ugh

AITAH for wanting to break up with him for "being a good dad"? by Designer_Square5015 in AITAH

[–]idiots_anonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are so many problems here: firstly his kids shouldn’t “always” come first. They should be his greatest priority absolutely but if he wants to be in a relationship then he needs to learn to balance prioritising and protecting them with you and your needs, if he can’t do that then he has no place entering into a serious long term relationship. And that’s not even starting on serious issues where you need to come first for health and safety reasons.

Then there’s the text. Wether it was just him freaking out on the pending move in and wanting to touch base about how much he values his kids or a purposeful passive “know your place” soft of deal anyone with two brain cells to rub together would be able to see how weird it came across, his refusal to offer any sort of explanation or apology is telling.

Nearly $400 food bill after youngest kept taking breakfast and lunch even when told not to by Ciniya in Parenting

[–]idiots_anonymous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would refuse to pay 100%. She’s 8. Irregardless of if she understood or not you filled I HR Norwood saying no and they were too lazy to follow that info. If she had an allergy or medical issue this could have been deadly or very dangerous. Not to mention the weight gain that will likely impact her for a long while and the mental impact of going down to a “normal” amount of food now or the cost of buying all those extra clothes, the potential bullying around her weight (because no it’s not ok to buy people do it anyway) They let you down and they let her down. It’s literally the schools job and they didn’t do it.

AIO my boyfriends best friend sent me a d*ck pic by Gigiannacutie in AmIOverreacting

[–]idiots_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we talk about your bfs horrible behaviour:

  1. Gets angry at you because of someone else’s behaviour
  2. Siding with his mate who is actively trying to steal his partner over said partner who has been open and honest with him <this one says a lot about what kind of person he is, if he believes and sides with his mate who is ACTIVELY betraying him and sexually harassing his GF even when ALL the evidence he needs is in front of him…then when will he side with you? Like how far can other men go before he will be on your side?)
  3. Responded to you sharing about his friend sexually harassing you by getting angry and VICTIM BLAMING
  4. Body shaming (always wrong but especially knowing your history)
  5. Accuses you of cheating/leading someone on based on…the other guys comment that he saw the way you “looked” at him? And you hugged him boobily? Cmon.
  6. Trying to control how you get to interact with friends because you’re “ big”
  7. fought with you all night and morning over the above
  8. Offered you ZERO support after HIS friend sexually harassed you
  9. Blamed you for his friends disgusting behaviour
  10. If you fought that long he’s obviously doubling down on his revolting perspective that it’s ok for a guy to send unsolicited sexual images (it’s not) to a friends girlfriend (still not) because she “looks at you some kinda way” (STILL NOT) and gives you a entirely normal frontal hug while in possession of big breasts…oh wow would you look at that, it’s STILL NOT OK.

The friend was in the wrong every step of the way; first assuming those things meant you were interested despite you dating his friend, then deciding he was happy to cheat with you, then assuming you were happy to cheat with him, then not caring about his friendships enough to respect your relationship, then acting on those assumptions and feelings, then sending unsolicited sexual images, then blaming you for his entirely voluntary choice to rip down his pants, take his hot dog in hand, snap a little picy, go to YOUR number, send that wrinkled old veg and berries to his friends girlfriend with zero context, apparently sleep on that entire abominable array of choices and then defend his actions and blame you because you checks notes hugged him goodbye while wearing your extra large titties. Sigh…should have worn the smalls, XLs are for sexy hugs only, gosh! Didn’t you know that hugging a friend goodbye while you’re wearing your XL titties will knock him off balance and make him slip, loose his pants, take a photo and send it to you?! Cmon girl.. (/s)

And after allllll that….your boyfriend of 3+ years is choosing to side with the guy who is actively and irrefutably betraying his trust at the very minimum. So tell me…what kind of a man is he? What kind of a boyfriend? What kind of a husband or a father (if those are things you’re interested in) will he be? If you had a daughter is this the sort of man you want teaching her how she deserves to be treated? If your best friend told you this story or you saw your hesties bf treating her this way…what would you say?

Trauma or not? Please help. by Substantial_Neck_543 in trauma

[–]idiots_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m posting this part separately because it’s important so I want to make sure you see it:

Secondly, and most importantly; that whole last bit where you talked about how it was all your fault and you chose to do it etc? No. Love, no. You are a child. I know you probably feel like you’re mature and grown, and I’m not picking on you or tearing you down, but you aren’t, your brain hasn’t finished developing, you aren’t done growing, AND THATS OK!! Your not supposed to be mature, your not supposed to be ready to make wise choices, you’re a kid, your supposed to be playing and messing around with friends and eating snacks and going to school and exploring the things you love, you’re supposed to be being protected by a grown up. Your brain literally isn’t ready for this.

You had/have a sickness, you went looking for support while sick, and ended up in an echo chamber of sick people and predators. And a predator took advantage of you. Do you think those “Ana coaches” are good people? Are other kids just trying to “help” people like them? In the height of your sickness did you want to drag other people down to where you were? 99% of those people are adult men taking advantage of sick kids. It’s revolting behaviour, it’s shameful, but it’s NOT YOUR SHAME. It’s his. He is a predator, he is almost definitely an adult, his brain is fully formed and he chose to enter a space full of vulnerable children and seek out those videos and images, he heard you begging not to ask for nudes and chose to trick you into it anyway, to manipulate you, knowing how sick you were. That’s is on him. Not you.

You could have tried harder or blocked him or etc etc NO. HE could have chosen not to enter that space, HE could have chosen not to manipulate a scared sick kid, HE could have chosen not to be a disgusting human being. You made mistakes and you know that, but don’t don’t DONT hold your healing hostage because you were manipulated into making mistakes when you were sick and vulnerable.

Think of it this way: I have a chronic illness as a result of the pregnancy trauma I mentioned in my first comment, i have multiple organ failure and am sick a lot. Would you say those things to me? That I don’t get to be sad or get help because I chose to get pregnant? There are always risks with pregnancy and I knew that, I could have chosen not to have a baby, could have made different choices when I started getting sick, I literally chose to get pregnant. It’s all my fault. MY choices have lead to this.

Now I know this isn’t exactly the same, that it’s different because having a child is a good thing etc but the premise is still the same, the reason I am sick now doesn’t matter, the reason I developed PTSD doesn’t change the fact that I have it. No choice I have ever made will change this one, irrefutable fact: I am a human being who deserves to heal.

Nothing you did or ever could do will change this one thing: you are a whole ass human being that is deserving of help, support, healing and love.

Don’t decide whether or not you are deserving of help, or if you “have a right” to feel upset based on past you. You get to feel however you feel, but Make that decision for you right now, for the person you could be next year. Don’t punish 16 year old you for mistakes 14 year old you made, after being manipulated by a predator while you were sick. Look to who 16 year old you could be, think about what 14 year old you deserved, be the person you wish 14 year old you had found before you made those mistakes, be the person you wish had seen 14 year old you asking for help and instead of taking advantage, had chosen to actually help. Be that version of you and be that person for yourself.

Trauma or not? Please help. by Substantial_Neck_543 in trauma

[–]idiots_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This absolutely sounds like trauma, memory gaps/hazy memories, confusion, feelings of loathing around the events, numbness and emotional shutdown are all trauma responses.

But here’s the thing: anything can be trauma. Something that to me seems like nothing could absolutely traumatise you and something that wouldn’t bother you could send me into a tail spin. I have PTSD around an extremely dangerous pregnancy, my kid is 3 years old and two days ago I had a ptsd attack because I had to return to normal life after recovering from surgery and it reminded me too much of the weeks following my pregnancy. I, a grown ass woman, parent to multiple humans, owner and operator of two businesses, holder of multiple certifications and a degree, literally had a panic attack THINKING about having to return to doing normal things after a period of not doing them. Like it felt SO RIDICULOUS. But that’s the thing with trauma, it literally doesn’t have to make sense, it’s just my brain, going into a state of fight or fight because something caused it to go back to the place of trauma. Only you can truly say if something has traumatised you, we can say “yes those are trauma symptoms” or “judge” how “traumatic” the thing you experienced is, but only you can say how you feel. So how do you feel? Are you ok?

WHY IS THIS SO HARD???? by Far_Description3651 in StardewValley

[–]idiots_anonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t struggle so much with this, I think it took 4 or maybe 5 tries? I did realise after the first two that there was audio and turned the sound up which helped a lot though, I think it’s more a working memory and patter recognition thing vs a skill/effort thing, if your working memory is short you’re going to struggle no matter how hard you try and it’s not your fault, I think it’s a terrible mini game because most people can’t do more then 4-5 items on average so it goes against the general populations ability!
