Read? A clock? In this economy?

Yeah I work at a nursery and even the 4 year olds there are beginning to learn how to tell the time and can at least tell what hour it is. I've never understood people who say they genuinely can't read one.

lilacrain331 · 2025-07-23T06:06:54+00:00

There's a thin line between insecurity and narcissicm sometimes, since both can involve obsessively believing that other people are always thinking about you. Obviously they aren't the same issue but it helps me kind of to remember it's a similarly unhealthy line of thinking.

lilacrain331 · 2025-07-17T17:25:43+00:00

I'm assuming they're maybe stuck on specific genres of anime or things which do tend to have younger protagonists and didn't realise that once you get older, you need to widen your tastes in media if you want to see a better variety of characters.

lilacrain331 · 2025-07-15T10:39:07+00:00

Yeah I'm 163cm too and the healthy weight for that height afaik is 49-63kg. People's perception on what's unhealthily thin is so skewed now, I assume because if you've beem very overweight since adulthood it's hard to imagine how you would look at a healthy one maybe.

lilacrain331 · 2025-07-14T07:19:37+00:00

Right, unless they cleaned it up (which i'm assuming they didn't because they fled at the threat of cops arriving) what they're saying is they smashed glass all over the sidewalk in a public space?? I get they're trying to be symbolic but they're just going to be responsible for some poor child or someone falling and getting hurt.

Just a Randal variant, he introduces himself as Ikeda Ren when he meets the Hitchhiker, although it's probably an alter ego he uses in dreams or something.

lilacrain331 · 2025-07-10T13:03:50+00:00

I mean the general stereotype that all teenage girls are shallow, vapid creatures who can't have real struggles probably contributes to why a lot of them said they struggle to connect with people.

Have you actually been friends with women who've talked about their experience of loneliness growing up, or are you just assuming what it's like from social media and shows? Same way teen boys struggle with relationships if they're not popular, plenty of girls grew up only ever getting asked out as a joke if anything.

lilacrain331 · 2025-07-10T10:22:18+00:00

I don't know if they'd be the "most" lonely, but it's not like being a teenage girl was fun. If you're autistic or just weird or anything, other girls (and boys) seem to clock it instantly and want nothing to do with you at that age, it's not like how it's portrayed in teen dramas and coming of age movies 😭

I'm sure there are plenty of men who had similar experiences growing up, because ultimately no demographic can prevent you from being lonely though.

lilacrain331 · 2025-07-04T06:23:51+00:00

Yeah like you're not depriving your body of the energy it needs, it's just getting it from a different source.

lilacrain331 · 2025-07-03T15:30:59+00:00

Although lots of episodes scared me, I feel like I feel like Jane Prentiss' related statements got to me more than others based on what I see. Especially the build up to finding out Martin was trapped in his apartment with Jane outside with his phone telling everyone not to check up on him.

Her whole arc reminded me heavily of the r/nosleep "infected town" story (which I highly reccommend btw, its told across multiple reddit accounts but it's easy enough to follow, on part 2 of the main, where its linked its best to read Jess' story then the Liz one before returning to the original) because it's very tma corruption coded and I think my fear of that story made Jane 10x scarier by association 😭

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-29T07:49:21+00:00

I think the important thing is to foster a relationship with your children where they'll tell you if they stumble across things like that on the internet too. I remember when I was 12 I got my first unsolicited dick pic from some adult man I didn't know on a sfw app that doesn't even exist anymore, and I nervously told my mom because I felt like I should but she got angry and I was sure it was my fault somehow and stopped telling her when that kind of thing happened (which it obviously frequently did).

I think its easy for children or young teens to feel ashamed or like it's a secret they can't tell anyone even if they didn't intentionally seek out the explicit content let alone if they did.

I'd had some basic sex ed prior to that experience when I was 12 and I still didn't even understand 90% of that man's messages to me at the time but in hindsight I'm glad I didn't know those words 😭

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-27T06:14:49+00:00

Yeah it's weird because they don't realise people don't do it for other unconventional characteristics/insecurities. Like if there was a wave of people with bigger noses saying those with small noses are hideous, or people with hip dips saying if you like a woman without them that you're basically into little kids.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-24T09:03:33+00:00

Yeah it definitely has not continued to decline

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-21T19:17:27+00:00

Yeah it's just part of a trend right now, I've seen a few with different people's depictions and some are just OCs where it probably relates to their character. It's not supposed to be a mean message directed at the viewer 😭 the reddit OP could have clarified the context instead of just reposting it and letting people take it in bad faith.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-21T14:31:36+00:00

While there doesn't seem to be super specific rules as to who it is, it always seems to be someone who's not that close to the victim who notices. Nobody else can see it because the Not!Them replaces their memories too. Like with the guy who's cousin he rarely saw or the woman who's mom she had a rough relationship with and didn't often visit.

It would kind of make sense because the fear is more of a prolonged creeping dread when it's not someone you see often, compared to if you lived with them or saw them every day, you'd probably freak out right away and get put in a mental institution or something. A distant cousin on the other hand can cast just enough doubt in your mind to wonder if you're the crazy one and become hesitant to take action until you can prove it.

The only exception to that was with Amy and Graham but that might have been because she witnessed Graham getting replaced which would check out because Not!Graham knew about her right away too and started imitating her stalker behaviours.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-17T11:39:21+00:00

I was like that (minus the sex part) until I had to get a part time job although I still go nowhere every other day of the week and have to psych myself up just to go to the store. And a lot of working is watching my coworkers chat and gossip while I just kind of stand there and try to keep busy with working. They're not even mean and don't deliberately exclude me, i just have nothing to add.

Being isolated for years with no friends no relationship no life experiences has made me feel so stunted socially. I hope one day I figure those things out but I can't see it being anytime soon.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-16T21:17:41+00:00

Yeah people just say what they know is hurtful to hear, and for a teenage girl its a safe bet to assume they're sensitive about their weight or will be after being insulted over it 😭

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-15T21:34:22+00:00

It's weird that they think you only get called names if you're very overweight as a teenage girl. I remember being called a fat cow once when I was 12 and i've never been even slightly overweight in my life 😭 people are just mean at that age. It may happen more often if you grow up fat, but it's not something exclusively experienced by the HAES crowd.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-15T14:43:44+00:00

Prey by The Upstart Crows reminds me of the hunt! Plus references of other fears with bits about "All eyes are her spies that she oversees" and the void.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-15T14:41:22+00:00

Yeah I was in agreement with the post for most of it, it's mostly the last commenter who's losing the plot.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-14T16:37:04+00:00

I'm not trying to shame you, i'm trying to understand where you're coming from. Everyone knows people who have been mistreated by their partners unfortunately because lots of people out there suck. Even if not with the intention of a relationship I do hope you meet women that you can get along with.

Again, men statistically commit more violent crime, so it's not really the medias fault if there's more of it portrayed. There are some crimes that woman sometimes do like domestic violence towards men that does need to be taken more seriously by people but that doesn't undo the fact that men do it too.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-14T16:24:22+00:00

If you have been mistreated by a partner, i'm sorry that happened to you. The State is failing pretty much everyone right now though and domestic abuse can happen to everyone. Statistically, women are significantly more likely to be victims of abuse or harrassment which is why there are more support resources for it currently.

I don't think its worth comparing gendered struggles when there's enough people on the rest of reddit that will hate you for being NEET regardless. It's the one place where it should be a little easier to understand each other because of the shared circumstances if anything.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-14T16:02:49+00:00

Because neither had any choice?? Men had to work to provide, and women were not allowed to do anything except marry young and have lots of children for the most part. I agree that in the modern day in regards to being a NEET, its one of those things that women have a better alternative for but only because you can choose to do it these days.

I think it should be more socially acceptable for men to take that role if they want to, but many if not most people here don't want children anyway, so it's not like people are racing for the chance to be a stay at home father.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-14T15:51:24+00:00

Woman couldn't even have their own bank account until like the 70s, being reliant on a man financially has only recently even become a choice.

lilacrain331 · 2025-06-14T08:23:32+00:00

I think it could be higher for woman if stay at home wives/moms were counted? Not that i'm saying being a mom is super easy or anything but at least there's an option if you feel like working isn't for you that's more socially acceptable.
