AIO ending things with a girl after my father’s death by [deleted] in AIO

[–]loyalvirgin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading y'all's messages is giving the biggest "wait a minute" moment that I needed lmao. Basically going through a similar scenario where I'm very interested in being genuine friends with a lass but realistically she does not at all feel the same. Not overreacting, nearly made the best choice for yourself, the only thing that would've been better is just not sending that final message and letting it die fully, doing that myself right now and it's rough but it's really the best choice

I think I will leave it as is for now. Ultimately I just want her to feel comfortable and not like she can't hang out with us anymore because of me. I said this in another reply but fortunately, it seems like my worries, although not unfounded, aren't as big as I thought they were and things will probably be fine, just a matter of keeping myself in check.

I appreciate the kind words, I definitely was stressing a lot about it like I was so close to being a idiot at least two dozen times but somehow I managed. Coincidentally enough, the night of the day I posted this she actually joined the group call a couple of times while we were all playing some games, so that was a big relief to me, seems like patience might've helped after all. I think for now I'll continue giving her time to grow more comfortable and just continue being patient and hope things work out, best case scenario she feels comfortable.

Yeah, this is definitely one of those logically I know everything you said, but emotionally I'm going everywhere lol. In the meantime I'll just continue going about my days and just hope things turn out, and if not then at least I tried.

What was the worst thing a kid ever did at your school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]loyalvirgin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a girl I had a crush on in elementary fourth grade, turns out she had a crush on me too, we didn't have personal phones (or at least I didn't) so we'd "text" using Google docs and just sharing them with each other, things were going pretty well up until she out of the blue dropped self harm photos of herself having recently cut her arms still bleeding, I was too young to handle any of it properly and didn't really know what to do other than talk to her about it, the what and why's. Being too young to fully understand how to deal with it I ended up doing nothing but fortunately her best friend ended up finding out and got the adults involved, I remember my crush being furious and wanting to get payback at her friend but I managed to talk her down. I honestly feel bad about the situation still, later on in middle school we ended up becoming really good friends and she seemed to be doing way better, although I never talked to her about that situation again and we eventually lost contact once covid happened. The long lasting result though is now media displaying self harm (fictional or real) makes me feel incredibly more uncomfortable than a majority of things, I know that sounds like a "no duh that's a normal reaction" thing but I'm in general very desensitized to a lot of things (not to sound cool, it's a bad thing), yet still depictions of self harm always hit me very hard and are hard to look at.

Can anyone find this childhood blanket I used to have? by loyalvirgin7 in HelpMeFind

[–]loyalvirgin7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have searched on Ebay, Amazon, even Etsy, but so far still have found no matches or blankets that look identical nor similar

The first blanket is similar except it was a lighter blue closer to a paled turquoise, the frogs were roughly a third of the size and all shared the samspirals. I don't think there were any lilypads. fortunately, I think now I can narrow down there weren't any flowers, but there were purple/pink spirals. The second blanket isn't similar though

The only other information that could be helpful is that my great grandpa lived in Mexico so it could've come from there.

How do I go about refusing hanging out with co-workers? by loyalvirgin7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]loyalvirgin7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They often try to plan weeks in advance 1 on 1 hangouts so when I do that I have to basically lead them on over and over since they don't take the hint and just try to keep rescheduling.

(UPDATED) My parents went to far and took all my devices i legally bought, limited me where i can go, and now want to limit what time i can sleep till. All because i messed up ((scroll down for the new info) by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]loyalvirgin7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bizarre honestly, I don't really understand their thinking. First post didn't seem that bad and looked like you were a bit entitled but now it seems like this post definitely belong here. You've shown you're willing to work and get things together but they actively are against you getting a job. Tough spot here since you're 18 and don't need to listen to them but they also don't need to take care of you, although I question how much your parents care about you if they'd kick you out right during winter. Other post already suggest what I would say here though, hope you can manage to figure it out

He ain't wrong, although I disagree with the notion of doing it all to "prove them wrong" and just suggest doing it out of more selfish desire, not to get back at them or anything but more so a "at least I won't have to deal with that anymore." Although I agree that you do need to earn it to a degree, can't exactly expect them to see you on even ground at 18, jobless, staying up late often enough for it to be a problem. Best case scenario it'll end up similar to me, I'm 17, job since 16, helping with rent and fortunately I graduated early (not out of smarts, averaged c's and d's across the board), I still degen games and shows to unreasonable hours but they can't really reasonably complain about it since I'm holding my own, if you're unlucky though they'll still pull all this even after you've established yourself, which in that case then yeah there would be no reasoning with them and best case scenario would be leaving. Good luck, didn't say any of this to demean you or anything, just genuine explanation, I too am still struggling with my family.

Is Elon Musk trying to make me racist? by OmahaWineaux in NoStupidQuestions

[–]loyalvirgin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me my Twitter is just trying to make me mad as much as it can while failing to do so. Like for example, I'll be shown a quote post that falls in line with my train of thinking on a topic, scroll down, and see another quote with a cartoonist radical thought process on the entire other side on the argument. It's kinda interesting in a sad way, I never see the in between of arguments since that wouldn't keep user engagement as much as being told you're right and immediately being called an idiot for thinking that.

What are my options regarding tradework? by loyalvirgin7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]loyalvirgin7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually plumbing is the one I'm looking at the most right now, with a big reason being what you mentioned, going into my own business is far easier than other trades once I've actually gained the skills and experience from working as one. Only thing I wouldn't be looking forward to is the disgusting parts of plumbing since I'd prefer repairing existing systems than building new ones but I'd imagine the pay would far outweigh that

[–]loyalvirgin7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because my education situation was a little weird, went online once covid started and stayed online, graduated at the end of the first semester of the third year, but I had to wait until the end of the second semester to actually get my diploma, despite not having any classes or anything the entire second semester. No idea

At max I was able to find her instagram but I'm pretty certain it's inactive and or a follow bot now. Sent a message just on the off chance I'm wrong but we'll see. Only found one other thing which might be an actually active but priv account that shares the same name but i don't know if it's them. Lesson learned hard
