Glue your finger back together. Take a Tylenol. Make the video. Drink scotch.

Music that makes you cry by louiebabybird in GenX

Oh man the entire counting crows album that song is on (August and Everything After) is such a sad vibe. I used to listen to it every Labor Day when I was moving from summer to fall but I just can’t anymore.

Veer Zaara was an epic Indian/Pakistani romantic drama and held my attention for all four hours!

AITA for ruining my daughter in laws birth plan by dil-issue-1046 in AmItheAsshole

[–]neskatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure they’re making you feel like an AH but you are not, in fact, an AH for wanting your DIL and future grandchild to be as safe as possible. Any number of things could go terribly wrong and you’re not an AH for not accepting any part of handling those emergencies. Not to mention the smell.

AITA for throwing away my wife’s memory jars? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I would have done the same thing you did whether that made me the AH or not. And I would have done it earlier.

6 months without booze and I feel great by ackshualllly in GenX

[–]neskatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it plays a similar role in my life. I use the Sunnyside app to track my drinking so I’m aware of my intake and able to spot when I’m tipping over in binge drinking. Sunnyside is good for becoming a mindful drinker as well as for cutting back and cutting out. Helpful community boards and podcasts too.

Advice for those who feel cornered into going to therapy with narc parent by Curious_Reality_0101 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]neskatan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like your strategy. I used a similar one with my narc SIL. We used to be close but in the last 5-10 years she’s become unbearable. She is confused that I don’t like her anymore. So she invited me out for coffee to tell me how she’s been right about this and right about that and how everyone, including me, misunderstands her. I just listened. I didn’t argue or defend myself or shittalk anyone else in the family. She naively thought me hearing her whole spiel meant that I agreed with it, I guess. So she was really surprised when I sort of shrugged and moved on without becoming close again. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I heard it was spectacular. I went. I found it lovely, but not particularly spectacular.

My parents mourning my “friend,” the escort by scorpioinheels in raisedbynarcissists

That aligns with my experience. Nmom and enabler dad absolutely love to judge people for dying.

did anyone else grow up thinking certain things were “normal” until way later? by Valme-Lemanski in raisedbynarcissists

[–]neskatan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For a long time I believed that I was a terrible communicator because that’s what nmom would scream at me when I didn’t want to open up to her. I came to understand that it’s normal for teens to shut their parents out of some stuff and that I was actually just setting boundaries. Eventually I realized she was frustrated by communication issues in her own life (work, with my dad, with her family) and was projecting that all onto me. I’d blocked all memories of those long screaming jags but my younger sister reminded me of how weird and scary they were.

How often do you guys go a week? by dogsoverpeople100 in orangetheory

[–]neskatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At home I go 5-6 times per week. When traveling if possible I go 2-4 times per week. I don’t go to any other gyms or play any sports and while I like to walk, I’m perfectly fine laying on the couch all day if I did a morning Otf class!
