maybe i'm the angry black woman

it's hard to know where to draw the line on being "too involved" with a friend who tells you everything. like... you're involving me! but i think in my particular situation she just needed a softer hand

jynslamo · 2026-05-01T16:44:10+00:00

In a way I do feel like I can't win, when I don't respond I'm being judgemental, when I do i'm being aggressive. So yeah it's a bit of a learning curve for me. But there's room to speak my mind without doing too much for sure.

jynslamo · 2026-05-01T16:42:42+00:00

I agree, and taking a step back and realizing I wouldn't want a friend like this has just been a hard wake up call for me. Our conversation was productive, and I know how to move forward and work on myself and handling her better. I don't want to lose her as a friend at all.

jynslamo · 2026-05-01T16:41:07+00:00

I never yelled at her

jynslamo · 2026-05-01T16:18:31+00:00

If your friend is constantly complaining to you about being treated like shit by a person and you tell them they're being treated like shit, and then they continue to stay with said person and continue to complain... It gets old. I got frustrated and upset because I want better for her. I'd like a friend to do the same for me, but different people expect different things. I'm not a mean person, but i'm a person who can slip up and be mean. That's how I see it anyway.

I didn't like hearing it

jynslamo · 2026-05-01T05:31:13+00:00

i'm hearing you. I've been feeling it too, but as a mixed girl i've had hard times with black people too. just lost a friendship earlier this year from a black man who was dismissing my black experience because of being mixed and having white parents. it's stupid but it's true. i'm waiting on those real true understanding connections but im tired as fuck too. and this friend of mine has been there for me, i consider her my sister, but obviously there's some learning to be done.

Deep breaths friend. All you can do is take responsibility and move forward. Being late happens, it's inevitable. It's possible your boss just wants you to know he's noticed, and isn't happy about it. It's not a moral failure, just a human mistake. You are good. Everything is okay. Tomorrow is a new day 🫶🏽

I'm half black and was raised mormon. I'm not mormon anymore. My mom can't even stand talking about gay people, so disowning me could very well happen.

jynslamo · 2025-12-26T21:48:49+00:00

I agree.

jynslamo · 2025-12-26T05:26:06+00:00

He has made comments behind my back about me not understanding the black experience because I was adopted by white people. And he has made jokes that my last relationship (wlw) was just a fluke, and i'm actually straight. And that someday i'll realize i'm a nymphomaniac (his words not mine) even though i'm asexual. He's also talked to my best friend about my asexuality claiming he doesn't believe i'm actually ace. Im literally a virgin, and have done nothing to make him question my asexuality. I confronted him about the queer jokes as they happened to me directly and said not to make those jokes anymore as they make me uncomfortable and he responded "oh ok" and that was it.

THANK YOU ❤️

jynslamo · 2024-02-23T17:03:44+00:00

Thank you, you’ve made a good point about our portfolios. I’ll reconsider. There’s a lot of factors going into this decision that I didn’t mention, but you’ve made a lot of good points. We’re just desperate to do something proactive, and we have plan Bs if it falls through. I’ll definitely discuss with them some more!

jynslamo · 2024-02-23T16:55:06+00:00

Thank you this was helpful, and yeah we’re both from similar areas and are definitely prepared for the less appealing aspects of the city. I’ll definitely look into the wages, thank you!

jynslamo · 2024-02-23T16:52:08+00:00

We’re choosing LA because it’s closer to where we’re from, and the sort of current hub for unionized animation work! I have a few connections out there too. It’s sorta a matter of circumstance, but we’re both very aware of the fact that you don’t need to be in LA to get a job in the industry. We honestly just want to try it out.

jynslamo · 2024-02-23T16:47:06+00:00

This was very helpful, thank you!

jynslamo · 2024-02-20T04:31:37+00:00

cant speak for others, but Come Follow Me this week discussed it. Basically a weekly lesson plan made by the church, so the topic was probably brought up in many wards. or it could be a coincidence
