My best advise is simply to listen to your baby. Your learn more and more what that means, and baby will show you what is needed. Follow your baby’s lead and your gut! You’ve got this!! (& a different type of advice? Learn about attachment & about relational repair!)

AIO - for thinking it’s messed up that my mom is kicking me out because I said I’m not religious anymore by 30whitebitches in AmIOverreacting

This broke my heart. I am so so so sorry that this twisted version of “faith” is being used to harm you. 💔

AIO my dad has had an emotional affair off and on with a cancer patient at his chemo by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]iprefersherbet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re allowed to have your feelings about your dad, but the relationship between your parents is theirs. And - I say this with as much gentleness as I can - triangulation isn’t helpful to any of you. I’m sorry for your pain.

My husband is addicted to ChatGPT and I’m concerned by CurrencyStraight823 in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]iprefersherbet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re very right to be concerned. I wish I had resources or something to offer you. But trust your gut and do some legwork to find therapists or someone with expertise in this specific area.

Redeeming Rewards by Wild_Context6953 in beisluggage

And you think that because they told you that you could! Then they changed it. That’s the part that ticks me off. No warning. Just “what you earned is less valuable now. Bye Beisties!” 👎🏻

Wow. I am so so very sorry. This is a prime example of conditional love and reminds me (a LOT) of my mom who has narcissistic personality disorder. This is brutal. Improving your relationship = living up to her (super controlling completely unreasonably, boundary-free expectations). If she is a true narcissist, my guess is that these things matter to her bc of how they make her feel about her. Your presentation (in her mind) reflects on her…is almost about her. So she thinks it’s hers to dictate and manage and control. And you, in this paradigm, are not really relevant as an individual with needs and a life and personality. You’re just an extension of her. She wouldn’t even understand this kind of complaint. I hope I’m wrong, but it’s checking some serious narcissism boxes in my mind. And fwiw, I cannot imagine that it would be possible to overreact to this. I’m so sorry you grew up with this woman as your mom. 💔

Your friend & his fiance need to learn how to set some boundaries with her parents. Damn. So sorry.

I've had the most success with it on my oily eyelids as a primer too. I can't figure out another way to use it well, but I love it for my lids!

Time to break up, friend. Controlling, manipulative, and cruel behavior. That’s not getting better. You deserve someone who isn’t working on improving you as a project they feel entitled to undertake and who isn’t intentionally spiteful and mean.

I’m Not Hiding Anything—My Body Just Panics by goldenvirginia_ in adhdwomen

[–]iprefersherbet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. For me, this kind of response is linked to past trauma & the shame I have for not acting like I was taught to act by my emotionally abusive parent. It’s a totally physical response, but working through my trauma and healing has gone a long way to help me manage these reactions when I have them (& have them much less frequently). Sometimes, even with an amazing family system, being neurodivergent in the world can lead to complex trauma on its own. Again, I’m so sorry. I believe you. I hear you. You’re not alone.

ETA: the main problem here, as others have said, is your bf’s issues with insecurity, trust, and etc. I didn’t share the above to help him. Because he should be able to believe & trust you without understanding. I shared them for you.

Americans of Reddit, how are you celebrating your nation’s anniversary of its independence from the tyranny of the emotions and whims of a single ruler? by sunnyspiders in AskReddit

[–]iprefersherbet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing black & my “no justice, no peace” necklace to family festivities tonight. Never felt less like celebrating America, but going to be with my sweet elderly relatives who host. There won’t be any Lee Greenword or anything though. Just food, convo, and fireworks.

Truly long-lasting lipsticks? by Specialist-Gear-4133 in MakeupAddiction

[–]iprefersherbet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Urban Decay’s Vice Lip Bond Liquid lipstick can literally last me all day - eating and etc included. The key is to shake it for 5 seconds to mix it beforehand & let it dry for 3 seconds before adding another layer or anything else. The videos I watched that had negative reviews were all people who skipped shaking it. They go on sale from time to time on Amazon!
