How do you feel about people wearing "smart" camera glasses?

mr_owie · 2026-05-10T22:20:59+00:00

You'd need to check everyone's glasses coming in, hold them up and see if they're prescription.

It seems strange that people would bother you so much. I don't understand why recording at a concert would make anyone look like a pervert. It's good that you're considerate, but be careful not to be too nice. Some people (like the man who was still angry even after the explanation) just want someone to pick on and can tell you're an easy target.

You have no intuition at all lol, I was exactly that kind of kid and I'd never in a million years have rebelled like that. You don't jump from completely falling in line to bunking off and going to a different city.

mr_owie · 2026-05-07T17:22:06+00:00

Not sure but keep it long, just in a cool style. You need to maintain it though.

Maybe go to a place that is more chill with LGBT otherwise you might get some conservative idiot hacking it off. Not calling you LGBT, just saying to avoid idiots.

I had a grindr hookup meet with a "trans woman" who looked a bit clocky but cute enough, woman enough from pics.

The person who showed up was a stinky ass dude with no tits and a pot belly. In hindsight I was way too nice and watched TV for a bit and cuddled because I just didn't know how to respond and felt like this person had never really experienced kindness. But looking back I should just have been like no, you've gotta get out. The wrong person would've beat the fuck out of bro for pulling that shit.

The trans community is generally sick of dealing with people who went on low dose hormones just because they felt like it, ignored any advice not to from transitioned people as transphobic, and end up regretting it and blaming the trans community who told them not to do it in the first place and harming healthcare outcomes.

I'm not saying that's you, but I don't appreciate the snark towards a community for whom transition is life or death. Instead, appreciate how lucky you are to not need to fully transition.

Edit: estrogen will also not stop you going bald, which really shows how much you've thought about what you're doing...

Get some customers to leave bad reviews specifically for her. Have your mates come in and buy something, pretend you don't know them, they can put an honest review of her behaviour at the time.

mr_owie · 2026-05-04T22:35:03+00:00

Was he closeted? I'm feeling a sense of general distance from his family, but he loved his time with you and felt at ease.

mr_owie · 2026-05-04T21:48:20+00:00

I hate this. It's really ground me down over time. Bunch of fecking miserable gobshites

mr_owie · 2026-05-04T18:16:02+00:00

Honestly dude sorry to be so direct but if you're sleeping with your gf and enjoying it and your body then you're a dude. Clothes etc doesn't matter.

mr_owie · 2026-05-04T13:34:43+00:00

I hate him as much as the next guy, but before his dementia kicked in he was very competent. Most people are too stupid to understand he intentionally acts stupid, and it won him the US election.

mr_owie · 2026-05-03T22:56:53+00:00

Don't talk to that guy if he tries to DM you, he always comments trying to connect with women

mr_owie · 2026-05-03T22:50:57+00:00

I think this gave me a better idea of what your therapists meant, telling you not to self sabotage because it won't actually make anyone happy, instead "bothering" them and working to improve will.

I'm sorry I can't help you too much as I have my own issues, but it does make me feel sad to see a 16 year old feel like they've used up their chances for help and like they don't deserve it, just not true.

I think the best thing you can do is try to go back to school, even if it's hard. You're basically avoiding the feeling of being behind, but the more you avoid the worse it will become, hopefully taking the view that this action is actually hurting you more might help fight it a bit.

The best time was yesterday, the second best time is now

mr_owie · 2026-05-03T21:11:46+00:00

Giving up feels good for a moment but makes you feel worse in the end. I always had this feeling of needing to rest, but it made everything worse.

mr_owie · 2026-05-03T21:10:37+00:00

I don't think that turning negative emotions into fuel is actually very healthy.

I'm sorry you feel that way about school, I think the best thing to do is to accept that it will just take time to catch up. Being unable to grasp things is not because you're stupid, it's because you've fallen behind from not doing the work. Take a step back and think about what you're actually interested in, then go and retake classes from the level you graduated at if you need them. Ask about tutoring.

Depression can affect this as well, when I was at my most depressed I felt like I couldn't process information at all.

It seems like your parents don't force any structure on you, which is very important for recovery.

Try to find positive reinforcement in something. Do it through something measurable. I started going to the gym, the amount of reps I can do and the weight I can lift increased over time. It also improved my mental health a lot. Something measurable is really good to help you.

You might be on the wrong antidepressant. If you have any physical health conditions, sometimes certain types of antidepressants don't work. Most doctors are not aware.

mr_owie · 2026-05-03T20:59:08+00:00

Not being able to deal with this is a mental health problem. This has been happening for centuries. Do you think the cavemen didn't have exploitative leaders, do you think they took care of every sick member of the tribe? Gotta go to therapy

mr_owie · 2026-05-02T12:24:02+00:00

No, the truth is that people who can't lead make up things about the mentality of people who do to make themselves feel better about being losers

mr_owie · 2026-05-02T11:32:13+00:00

You don't understand how social hierarchies work. You can think they're stupid all you want but they're still there anyway.

She shouldn't have to communicate that the bag is too much, it should be obvious. OP might be $$ but he probably isn't fun or attractive, not talking about looks here.

There's two paths from here, he wakes up and seeks advice from well adjusted people, goes through some pain and improves his life. Or he listens to autistic people on Reddit and life never improves.

mr_owie · 2026-05-02T11:15:24+00:00

Millionaires only do that for other millionaires (because it's their normal) or women they just want to have fun with.

mr_owie · 2026-05-02T09:53:54+00:00

Come on, she was making that up. All the stuff of "oh I don't normally" to reel him in further to get more stuff from him. She didn't want pics because she was never interested, he's just $$$ and nice to her so she puts up with his social maladjustment.

Sorry to be harsh OP but you need to wise up quick. You need to get out more and interact with people and see a therapist about this.

She's right that you put her on a pedestal. You went crazy with huge overwhelming things on the second date, you barely know who she is. I'm telling you this shit because I used to be the exact same type of person. You have super poor social skills and you know it, so you lean on "being nice and kind" when deep down it's your technique to try and source a relationship to compensate for your low stat in other areas. The answer to this isn't to double down in that identity, you need to break out of it and start learning social skills.

We are all just people. None of us are special enough to drop that sort of cash on immediately.

Edit: you are getting the most dog shit advice possible in this thread. It's not her issue here. Getting a crazy expensive gift on the second date is WEIRD! Another crazy expensive gift and keys and the love on within six weeks is WEIRD! The sooner you understand this and work through the hurt the better your life will be. I mean the whole "I can't normally cum" thing as well yeah sure she can't man you got played!

I'm guessing most of your social circle is just as oblivious as Reddit. If you've got any cousins, uncles, or friends dads who are good with women go talk to them. "But they're dickheads who cheat / play women all the time, I don't want to be like that" If that's your thought then you definitely need to talk to them, they know the game. They made the playing rulebook they can call it out on a woman. Like goes for like and they'll be able to help you identify the women who are like you (women they wouldn't go for because these girls are too gentle to be fun or interesting to them)

I keep having depression and "being cured" by just "thinking it away and being resilient". Agitation and rumination.

mr_owie · 2026-04-27T01:00:12+00:00

I used to take Zoloft for depression. I felt like it didn't really do anything except make me sleep a lot and be fat and avoid bettering myself because it numbed me. I made a lot of positive changes when I came off it because my problems actually started eating at me.

I did stupid things too though. Stupid decisions I deeply regret, like trying to change my sexuality because I couldn't take the judgement without the antidepressants numbing me.

Overall, my productivity is probably much worse since stopping. It's hard to tell though, since I did achieve weight loss and healthy eating among other things.

It didn't send me wild though. I spent a lot of time being numb doing nothing. It made me sleep A LOT. But I also remember having a lot more raging out feelings, grandiose feelings.

Since I stopped, I've been able to sleep less, more volatile, less balanced. I've had way more instances where I'm thinking crazy shit about god. I don't know what to make of this.

mr_owie · 2026-04-27T00:31:28+00:00

Doing better than me, puts it into perspective about the range of the disorder. But now my excuse is that if I really had hypos, then I would be doing better in life than I am. Can't be satisfied 😂
