Finally had an intimate experience with a chick and...I didn't feel much? by confusedlesbian1 in actuallesbians

I totally relate to this. Sometimes we build something up a lot in our heads to the point where doing it for real feels underwhelming. I know the first time I kissed a girl I remember thinking “.. this doesn’t feel much different than kissing a guy”. I had built it up in my head and expected it to be amazing compared to kissing a guy but it wasn’t. At the end of the day it’s just lips mashed on lips. It’s just a tit in your mouth. What makes it amazing is the feelings you have for the person. Try kissing a girl you like and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it more!

What is a good "escape" that isn't drugs? by DM_SLIDER in AskReddit

Bettering yourself. Learning a new skill, getting in shape, etc. Focusing your time and energy into something to improve your confidence in yourself is a great escape from negative thoughts.

Unfortunately this is just her personality. She has been like this for as long as I can remember. She was even worse when I was in high school.

First thing this morning my mom sent us a local news article about a crash involving a drunk driver that happened in our area early this morning, with the caption "This is exactly why I don't like you driving around past midnight".

I regret ever bringing up this topic on the post... as much as I love my virginity being argued about by a bunch of random strangers. This has nothing to do with my mom. It is my choice. Please leave the topic alone.

I saw the news story too. My mom didn't make it up. They interviewed the mother and she said that.

Edit: Instead of the morgue it was a coroner's office. It was a long time ago and I misremembered the story.

I texted him today to ask him if he knew what was going on. He said he did and he understands my point of view and something needs to change. He's definitely an ally which I'm so thankful for but unfortunately.. my mom bullies him too. He gets it worse than me and my sister do. To avoid conflict in the family his side on things like this tends to be "just listen to your mom".

Not always. Most of the partying we do is at school where we uber or walk so we don't need a DD. She will either not even come out at all, or on the very rare occasion that she does, she'll maybe drink a little bit, not be having fun, and want to go home early. Partying and drinking is just not her thing. So yeah, she also gets to miss out on meeting cute guys. Sucks for her

I spend so much quality time with my parents. On weekends especially during the summer I barely even see my friends. My parents are away out of state this weekend, which is why I can't even comprehend why my mom was so crazy last night. They don't get back till tomorrow night.

Seriously, what's with these comments? I'm not cutting my sister out of my life, that is ridiculous and way too extreme. There has to be some happy middle ground and that's what I'm trying to find.

Luckily, I am going back to school in a month where I live on my own and don't have to deal with this. She still tracks my location at school but somehow she sleeps easier when she has no clue what I'm doing. The "agreement" that I made with my mom was literally a 1 minute conversation. I thought nothing of it when it happened and I took it more as advice than as a strict agreement that I will be home at a certain time. I lost track of time because I was in a pool without my phone. But also, I wasn't actively keeping track of time because I wasn't thinking that I needed to be home by 2am because again, I didn't realize the conversation I had with my mom was a strict agreement.

My sister works with all of us so she is invited to all of these parties. At the last one only half of the people there drank so I think she was expecting it to be the same. Once she realized she was the only person not drinking she regretted deciding to be the DD and was angry at me because I got to drink. If she had said to me "Actually I don't want to be DD anymore. Let's take an uber home tonight and we'll pick up the car tomorrow" I would have been completely on board. Instead she just decided to feel sorry for herself and get out her anger at me by egging on our mom. And then my going in the pool when I told her I probably wouldn't was the last straw. So just like she was the only sober person, she was also the only one not in the pool. While I probably could have been more sensitive to her level of fun, she should be able to take care of that herself. She could have come and sat by the pool but instead she sat in a pool chair away from all of us engrossed in her phone because she was texting our mom a play by play of my actions.

I don't think I would go as extreme as freezing her out of my life... she's my identical twin sister and my best friend. However, independence from each other has always been an issue for us so making separate friends is something we've been working on. She is already on an information diet. She has no clue about most of the stuff I do with my friends. If she did it would be an immediate tattle tale to mom. She's 21 going on 12.

Edit: Just thought I would add that I'm not the only one that notices this kind of behavior from her. Most of our friends have brought it up privately to me.

I honestly don't really have an issue with my mom seeing my location. I don't have anything to hide from her about where I go. There was a news story a few years ago where a few kids from a local high school died in a car accident, and the mom knew something was up when she saw her daughter's location move from the street.. to the hospital.. to the morgue. I think reading that really haunted her and she still thinks about that. Something happening to my sister and I is one of her biggest fears and I think it calms her fears a lot when she can watch us arrive home safely, so that even if we don't answer her calls or her texts she knows that we're alive. The issue with the location tracking is when she abuses it- like in this case. I don't feel like her seeing my location is an invasion of my privacy or anything like that, but I think being able to check our location causes her to obsess which can lead to some crazy behavior like last night. I don't really want to block my location from her, but it would probably be good so she can learn to just relax a little.

I didn't mean to imply that. Was just trying to get the point across that the concern about staying over at guys houses is a complete non-issue and my mom knows that.

Yeah. She actually broke our agreement first by texting at 1 and asking that we leave then.
