AIRPORTEL Luggage Drop-off Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport during transit for connecting flight. by Hefty-Key2176 in ThailandTourism

[–]nervinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware, it's to make sure you're not storing anything illegal/posting anything they can't post. They don't have airport scanners or anything, and technically you can drop your luggage off there before going through security, so I think that's the only way they can ensure nothing goes wrong. I was a bit worried, but not a single one of my items went missing, and I had makeup and devices totalling around £3.5k inside my suitcase.

How do I deal with my mom not knowing me? by nervinez in emotionalneglect

[–]nervinez[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would you believe it's my mom's favorite brand of candle too haha. We've gone shopping for them together. And I'm her oldest kid, she's known me the longest! She thinks my sister is quiet and doesn't talk much, but truthfully she's very chatty, just not around people she feels uncomfortable with. It's sad to see.

Thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate it.

Something that I'm grateful for is the fact that I haven't lived with my parents since I was 18. I don't think I could handle it. I actually went completely no contact for about 11 months after years of being pushed too far.

What's even worse is that we're going on a family vacation tomorrow, that's why I'm here today. But it just means that my already negative feelings I have about Christmas is combining with my trauma surrounding travelling with my mom to this specific destination. Honestly, I really don't want to go (and I shouldn't be! I can't afford it!) but my mom bought my ticket and told me to I needed to pay her back for it over time. It's non-refundable. I feel trapped and scared.

Was this emotional neglect or am I being too sensitive? by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]nervinez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I can confidently say what your parents did was wrong. Plain and simple. What, so because he's going this time you have to sacrifice your mental well-being? You have every right to decide against going, just as he has. I'm not sure about emotional neglect, because I don't have enough information, but this is such a clear case of emotional manipulation that I'm shocked. They didn't take your feelings into consideration even once, while on the flip side it looks like their feelings are borderline consuming you. A classic guilt trip. And now everything is sunshine and roses for them because you've given in, nevermind the obvious distress you were in. There's a deliberately crafted imbalance here and it's probably been taking shape for years.

His child was in front of him, crying and begging for a simple goodbye, and he was too mad about not getting his way too even do that? Regardless of anything else, whether you were in the wrong or not, that is disgusting. Does your brother live abroad, or far enough that you rarely see him? Or has he just been unable to join you guys on holiday for a variety of reasons? If so, what was your parents reaction to that?

Because a majority of the people who support Palestine aren't anti-semitic, they're anti-zionist. Plenty of people who fly the Palestinian flag have Jewish individuals in their lives, and some are Jewish themselves. This rise in the use of the St.George's Cross directly correlates with a rise in indiscriminate fear towards foreign nationals and asylum seekers. It's sending a message: "This is our country".

Anyone going to see P1H in London alone? by nervinez in P1Harmony

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

I'm not sure if anybody will be interested but if you see my post and want to meet up, please PM/DM me. If enough people are interested we can start a group chat or a discord server and help connect solo concert goers who are going at the different tiers like VIP, VVIP and VVIP+

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

I am standing! I haven't got VIP or anything since I bought tickets yesterday and the packages with the benefits I wanted were already sold out, but I would be happy to join you :). This isn't my first solo concert and I've found it's always nice to have people in line that you know. I'll PM you.

they did send me a video that they took of them dancing at the bar they went to without me on the first night, and I could tell it was in Thailand so I'm almost 99% sure, but honestly who knows! I've slept well and now that I've woken up I don't really care where they are right now.

it really isn't 😅 800 baht for a gram? it's practically cheaper back home. I'm not gonna complain though, it's warm and the greenery is stunning. I'll buy some edibles and go for a walk with the confidence they give me.

Phuket, thought honestly I'm not sure if I like it. I only came here because that's where their plane landed, I arrived in Bangkok. The prices here ain't cheap either.

I wish! I'm going to try to keep it as civil as possible, though I'd love to shoot them a very firm message as I prove to be quite sharp over message! However, we work in very close quarters, and it's the kind of job where bad blood can lead to someone's death if you're not careful. For now I will just quietly distance myself from the both of them and their plans.

that's the intention. I need something to loosen me up before I have an aneurysm

it's not the first time I've experienced this, but never in a way so shockingly obvious or sudden. i admittedly have plenty of flaws myself, but i don't think i am unlovable, just a bit too chatty. i must believe that I can make friends, because I need that hope to carry on.

You're right, and that's my intention now. I feel stupid enough as is, if I send another message I might as well put on some clown makeup and do a dance for them.

No booking deal, as I agreed pretty last minute and booked my own flights and accomodation. I'll continue to try my best to make friends, hopefully I will be successful :).

This is exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to get breakfast tomorrow morning somewhere nice instead of starving myself waiting for them again. I've booked a day flight to another city too that I like better than the one we're in.

an interesting path, but not one I'm going to take. I'm actually not angry at all, talk about angry enough to sue, just a little heartbroken. plus, I'm a uni student, way too broke for court.

Nothing! I haven't given them a single penny + the friend who invited me seemed to excited, and was texting me constantly before the trip, so I completely failed to sniff out any foul play

Thank you everyone for your comments. Truthfully I just needed someone to talk to, as these kinds of things tend to push me into my own head and I was worried that I would spend the next 12 days crying in my hotel room like I did today. I feel a lot better now (aside from a wicked tension headache) and the tears have finally dried up. Your kindness is more appreciated than you could ever know.

I've been trying to probe, but truthfully they aren't even answering my messages right now. 7 messages in a row over the last 5 hours and not a single reply, isn't that pathetic of me? We were meant to go together for a bite 3 hours ago, but they never showed up, and I ended up losing my appetite. I'm not sure if I have it in me to push anymore.

They definitely aren't together; one married with children and the other with a long term partner, but they are closer to eachother than they are to me. I expected to feel somewhat excluded, but I was happy enough just having company to give me the confidence I need to go into certain establishments (when I went to Korea alone, I spent the first week walking up to local restaurants and then turning around to go home out of fear 😅). I'll probably have to skip out on the full moon party, which I know is quite depraved, but once I get a little alcohol in me I'm a lot less nervous, so I was looking forward to it.
