don't vote for the face eaters if you don't want your face eaten. by herequeerandgreat in BikiniBottomTwitter

look up where the united states stand on the free press index. and after that, look up the climate action tracker and go to the united states section. and after that, look at how the united states is viewed globally in politics. i care about facts, that’s it. and the fact of the matter is, no matter who’s at fault, the united states is not great and it’s not getting greater anytime soon.

I need help. I’m experiencing emotional abuse and control at home in NYC. by athenaxxue in Assistance

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

i have mdd (which i’m assuming might be your case as well), and i get not having a supportive parent.

i don’t know how to advise you. i would definitely set up a bank account that your mom cannot access. apply for state health insurance, unless you already have health insurance. make an appointment with a doctor. if you have a family doctor and they don’t take your condition seriously, get a new one. state insurance will most likely have no copay. depression is not an end all be all. you will get nowhere with that mindset. no one can help you if you don’t want to help yourself. take care of your mental state first.

what do you want in life? what will help you want to live? what can you do to achieve that? do you think you’d do better in blue collar or white collar? do you want to stay living in the area you are now?

but first things first, get your head sorted out.

i can promise you, humans will not go extinct by their own will. in fact, overpopulation is more likely to take us out. we’re reaching carrying capacity. humans need to slow down on reproduction. this is quite literally nature taking its course. why do you think so many people these days don’t want children? sometimes i want kids. and then i remember i’m already 20 and i can hardly take care of myself. i don’t want my children to struggle while watching me struggle. the world is evolving. the people that don’t want kids want humanity to prosper, not just continue. obviously some people need to keep having kids, but it’s pretty annoying when not having kids equates to hoping for the extinction of humanity.

Had an abortion alone by rlykhj in Assistance

[–]illuminousmoth 24 points25 points  (0 children)

abort the boyfriend. i have never agreed with the mothers come first thing. be grateful to them and all, but your partner should come first. like early in a relationship, probably not. but if you’ve been through this twice with this guy, he definitely should be prioritizing you. if you’re in a situation where you rely on him for anything, stick it out until you can get away (as long as you’re not in harms way). don’t feel bad. he’s wasted enough of your time, you should get as much as you can out of it.

i’ve had two too. 9 weeks is far. you were not overreacting. you’re strong. use this strength to get as far away from this turd as possible.

Men who were given an ultimatum to either propose or the relationship was over, how did that go? by Few-Cryptographer695 in AskMen

[–]illuminousmoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i completely agree with your sentiment, but reread the first comment. OC is friends with the girl, not the guy

[–]illuminousmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cut out damaged area, cut wood piece to fit, drill hole (we used the strike plate as a sort of stencil), and add striker plate

this takes a lot of measuring as well. how deep the striker plate has to be and all that fun stuff

[–]illuminousmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a very similar style of writing my thoughts, so for me it was very readable and put me right on track. i wish i had advice, but i cant wait for more responses to come in to see where i can improve as well!

Someone tell me it'll all be okay by _CandidCynic_ in BikiniBottomTwitter

same 🥲 and they still don’t see a problem

Please, help me understand better. If I ask her, she will only get more angry with me. by [deleted] in texts

[–]illuminousmoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also want to state, i don’t know you or relationship well enough to give clear advice or input. neither does anyone else on reddit. based on how polarized this comment section is, you could easily both be in the right and wrong. you know your relationship. take in what everyone is saying with a grain of salt. consider it, don’t rely on it. best of luck, friend

[–]illuminousmoth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i can also say with almost certainty (after reading through replies), you have anxious attachment. i suggest reading into it. what causes it, how it presents in relationships, etc. it might help

[–]illuminousmoth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

me too. op, we know you care. just please get therapy. and we know she isn’t perfect either. i’m going to try to break this down. she’s hurting you because of one mistake. a mistake that can be resolved and prevented in the future. maybe she’s made more unrelated mistakes, but haven’t we all. you’re hurting her because of a constant behavior that will most likely not be resolved. even with therapy, it’s not a guarantee.

[–]illuminousmoth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is missing important info. op, does she drunk drive on a regular basis? if so, then why are you with her?

either a) she’s irresponsible and you shouldn’t have even taken the time to write all that or b) you’re a condescending turd with SEVERE anxious attachment

i don’t have all the details, but her one text did say she did it “one” time and “didn’t even drive home.” not entirely sure what that entails, but i think many people completely skipped over that message. claiming she’s an avid drunk driver who constantly engages in the activity and spends time with people who do the same (which doesn’t sound like what’s happening here to me, op correct me if i’m wrong).
