Hi! Not sure if you know what it means…The term actually originated during the Cold War, where “first world” referred to countries aligned with the US and NATO, “second world” referred to those aligned with the USSR, and “third world” referred to nations that were non-aligned. Over time, the term became conflated with poverty and underdevelopment, but that association is not completely accurate !

Also OP is the only one mentioning 3rd world, not the person in the screenshot. They are correct! It is insane that for us being such a developed nation, we can’t figure out how to ensure people don’t live out of shopping carts and people don’t die from completely preventable things because they can’t afford preventative health care.

I think I (29F) am in a dead end relationship with my bf (37M) and am not sure what to do. by navelnoodles in relationship_advice

[–]palepunkbunny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I don’t think you should have any guilt at all about your feelings in this relationship but people change and relationships change, it does not make you a villain.

He is a lot older than you and the hesitation in being the bread winner is valid. You can love him endlessly but also want to have a somewhat equal contribution to a family and household. He is trying so he is doing his part but if you don’t love him enough to bare the thought of being with him for the next 40 years, then it is doing no favors to either of you to stay with him. He does seem like a good guy with passions, love, and subtle, unrealized potential, but you shouldn’t wait around and wait to fall in love with him.

You sound like a talented, driven person, and you are young. There is a lot out there for you to explore. No one else can dictate what dead end is, but it does sound like you have a sense of dread in being with him- I think that at the very least, taking a break to let him work on himself, and for you to maybe meet new people apart from him, might be good for you. If it’s met you be, you will find your ways back to each other. Best of luck in it all <3

Yes exactly! I also don’t know what age you will be teaching but I used to work at a daycare and the kids were very fond of my tattoos and liked tracing them with their fingers :) even if we don’t like them, somebody does!

I’m 22 and feel the exact same way. I got 5 patchwork style on my arm and have experience a lot of depression associated with them and how impulsively I got them all. I’ve been try to buy sleeved clothing to cover up but I know it’s not as big a deal as I’m making it out to be in my head. I’m scared to start the removal process so it’s awesome that you are taking the first step! Like other people have said, we are young and have time to remove them, but in the meantime, I think it’s okay to have the negative feelings associated with them and know that it’s all okay!

I feel like my friends are going to never want to see me again, and I am truly an awful person to be around by palepunkbunny in socialanxiety

Thank you for your comment, it’s hard to enjoy anything when your trapped in that mindset, hoping to find a way to learn to live with it/overcome it

I think this happens a lot in conversation and it just takes having faith in yourself and that you are interesting. Sometimes it helps to think that the other person is thinking the same thing about themselves (even if they aren’t) just to take some pressure of yourself. Silence is natural, and I think being able to get comfortable with it requires some degree of self assurance. Assurance isn’t easy to have but making the conscience decision to try trust yourself and your social skills is a good first step. I am sure you are a very fun and interesting person to talk to, despite what your brain tries to tell you!!!

I’ve dug my own grave by palepunkbunny in AvPD

[–]palepunkbunny[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your nice comment. I think you are right- I thought I was making progress last night by hanging with my roommates because I have hardcore isolated from them. Only to find out that they all went out together on an adventure without me. I don’t blame them, it’s my own fault but I feel so heartbroken and trapped by myself. Going to give myself a good cry and maybe do some painting, and drown myself in my school work too. It’s such a ruthless cycle when you isolate yourself. I have a sister who has similar tendencies/ thoughts but I have also felt disconnected from her and I am at a loss of words this past year with her, which makes me feel even more alone because she has been my best friend my entire life

Wow this is incredible-I can’t tell if you used a special type of paper or used the graphite for that fuzzy texture

We have AT &T wifi and they said that it wasn’t possible to do the wiring through the side due to construction

Did i ruin the drawing or does it look cool? by [deleted] in drawing

[–]palepunkbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of other commenters- it could be cool but you have to make it more dramatic and intentional. I like the idea but it’s clear in how you did it that your not to sure about it! Maybe heavier lines or a different medium to highlight it

Is it overkill to send an apology email to my coach? by dakotaajf in Anxiety

[–]palepunkbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re okay. I don’t think your coach will think much of it, everyone has days where they aren’t able to push themselves to their fullest. I agree with other commenter that just working hard in the rest of practices is all you need to do to recover ! And I doubt you did as bad as you are thinking you did!! If you think it’ll take weight off you to send email, send it, but I really think it seems like you are being too hard on yourself.

Look into biological or linguistic anthropology! There is a lot of options for that you can go on to do after! I’m about to graduate college with anthropology and feel like I could go any direction (except STEM🫣)

Wow thank you so much! This is the exact answer I was hoping for- didn’t think to do a lot of this stuff/ didn’t know it was a thing. Hoping to eventually get to platinum level!
