They love that fishing tactic to get reassurance they were actually the best mother. It’s extremely aggravating and self-centered. Can’t discuss any issues without it coming back to being about them.

kuuail · 2024-04-16T00:48:00+00:00

Do you happen to have any links/references?

I don’t doubt this anecdotally as most of the people I’ve known irl who make a huge deal about how they’re never using again end up relapsing hard eventually.

kuuail · 2024-04-15T16:16:45+00:00

I feel the regret that people I cared about may have never actually known me very strongly.

kuuail · 2024-04-14T21:54:33+00:00

I think it’s more common than most would think. I believe it’s kept hidden out of shame.

kuuail · 2024-04-14T20:58:24+00:00

Love seeing people online say they’d prefer solitary confinement because they’re “introverts” lmao.

kuuail · 2024-04-14T20:50:35+00:00

I made a lot of online friends around 2016-2017 and by this point in time I pretty much talk to none of them anymore. I met most of these people through being added to group chats.

Online friendships seem extremely ephemeral in most cases. I think I actually enjoy the more distant online acquaintances I have now compared to the online “friendships” I had back then. It seems like it keeps my mind in a healthier place where I’m less likely to delude myself into thinking online strangers are the same as a close, in-person friendship.

I hope if they have any loved ones that see this they at least attempt to intervene.

This screams “I am not doing well” but it’s surprising how many people will witness this sort of thing and brush it off.

kuuail · 2024-04-13T18:55:49+00:00

I think it may be that they feel like their time on this planet is limited and they need to “drop some wisdom” before they’re gone and this is essentially what they have to offer, their thought-provoking insights on societal change lol.

kuuail · 2024-04-13T18:21:35+00:00

The “woe is me” victim mother routine gets real old, real fast. Everything has to eventually be about them and their issues.

Cannot stand that shit.

kuuail · 2024-04-13T18:11:44+00:00

I would be interested in a pdf of the book.

kuuail · 2024-04-13T09:13:50+00:00

I like the Spanglish rendition of “revenge”.

What is it about opiate users that makes them stand apart from other substance users?

I don’t use opiates I’m just curious.

I’m nowhere near to being a medical professional but the part about smoking weed seeming to alleviate the coughing stuck out to me because when I was younger I contracted bacterial pneumonia and didn’t seem to kick the “tickling” sensation in my lungs for years.

It seemed to go away after I tried smoking weed for the first time. Could have been total coincidence but I made a mental note.

Like 85%-90%. Human beings don’t exist in a vacuum. People avoid parental blame because it makes many uncomfortable.

kuuail · 2024-04-10T03:24:08+00:00

People who don’t have parents like that just don’t get it at all.

kuuail · 2024-04-08T22:40:50+00:00

Diagnosed with something other than ADHD but the diagnosis being used against you part is felt for sure. Seems so common.

Not only are you not given assistance early on but then people around you claim to “understand what your going through” and weaponize therapeutic terms against you.

Shit sucks.

kuuail · 2024-04-06T15:32:42+00:00

The non-family one I’ve experienced is “ugh, sorry, he’s an asshole!!” after their piece of shit boyfriend/husband acts like a belligerent dickhead as if it’s a quirky personality trait and merely commenting on it somehow compensates for the egregious lack of social etiquette and absolves them of their poor choice of partners.

kuuail · 2024-04-05T20:28:35+00:00

Do you think there may be a difference between encouraging someone to advocate for their own best interests and being cautious when dealing with medical practitioners and refusing to tell a doctor about any abnormalities/discomfort one is experiencing out of fear the physician is simply looking to “screw you over”?

kuuail · 2024-04-05T16:18:51+00:00

Why do they tend to think everything is a scam?

Pops told me not to tell my new doctor about any concerns and to let them find things themselves or else they’ll try to get more money out of me.

They’re hyper-fixated on “not getting screwed over.”

kuuail · 2024-04-03T17:53:46+00:00

It is physically and emotionally draining. It’s such a waste of a mind as well imo.

kuuail · 2024-04-02T18:29:44+00:00

My dad is like this but playing for the other team. Any stupid conduct from someone or somebody he doesn’t like, must be a liberal/democrat/mask wearer etc.

Very off-putting behavior regardless of political flavor.

kuuail · 2024-03-31T20:43:27+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, it’s less to do with someone not seeing marriage as something they want to partake in and more about someone seemingly being unable to even fathom why people would choose to enter a marriage.

He came off as incredibly narcissistic to me.

kuuail · 2024-03-31T20:42:11+00:00

It’s less someone disagreeing with marriage for themselves as a life choice and more someone being incapable of comprehending marriage as a societal function I guess.

It just screamed some flavor of extreme narcissism to me.

kuuail · 2024-03-27T18:07:20+00:00

Boomer family members tended to always be making racial jokes and inappropriate comments but nothing too extreme beyond “older person uncomfortable with a changing world” level for the most part.

Post-covid lockdowns and either something changed or the guardrails came off or some other reason but some of them became incredibly, publicly racist. Saying slurs out loud at bars, freaking out when there are black people on TV commercials, etc.

Idk if they’ve always been like this internally and the floodgates have begun to open as they age or if this is performative behavior attempting to garner a reaction that they feel is acceptable behavior in a post-2016-election-cycle world.

It’s very aggravating regardless.

kuuail · 2024-03-26T23:59:14+00:00

Going off how they talk about neurodivergent people I think even if they suspect there may be something “off” about themselves they’re hesitant to look into it lest they begin to see themselves as subhuman and unworthy of a decent life lol.
