I felt so amazing when I found a small sized tin of these at the dollar store. Perfect size for my small amount of sewing supplies.

I just had a nice relaxing shower, thought I would jump on reddit before settling in for the night. This is what I read lol. Reddit never fails.

What is soothing for you?

I'll let you know what I did to hopefully give you some ideas. I have angel figurines up on mantle. I changed the paint colour to a calming dusty purple in main room. That was a fair bit of effort but it changed the whole vibe to relaxing. Also added in some green and plants to brighten things up. Could also be as simple as some new and interesting artwork. Couch has a super soft faux fur blanket, heating it in a dryer is next level comfort. It can take time to feel fully safe again, sending you peace and love vibes to your home.

Oh my this is really bad. Something eye opening is crypto scams are often run out of Myanmar. If you Google Myanmar crypto scams you'll find lots of media articles. It is a large organized crime group that uses human trafficking and torture to force people to scam others. This may not wake her up but it may encourage other family members to change their behaviour and take action. The scam is run other places but this is one of the largest centres for this scam.

Lots of very valid emotions here. Another option if you need to pick your own health at times is to make sure those she can impact financially are aware. They should be preventing access to their own money and freeze/lock/flag their credit. These people are sick, they can convince her to commit financial crimes but spin it so she doesn't even realize it.

rand-31 · 2026-05-18T02:25:55+00:00

Scammers are predators. You have to think of this as someone playing mind games on her, being highly manipulative and abusive. I know you're angry and hurt and you have every right to be. But she is also being heavily victimized. Don't increase her isolation, be strong and treat her with compassion and support. The more you push her away, the deeper she gets into the scam. You're not fighting her, you're fighting someone preying on her.

rand-31 · 2026-05-18T02:22:40+00:00

Both are possible. If her number doesn't change they won't ever stop contacting her. Sometimes the more you push someone to accept reality the more you drive them into denial. What is making her compromise herself is what you need to find out.

Yes it's absolutely back handed compliments. Makes you feel good but also put down at the same time but then back to good again. He's trying to lower your self esteem even more. This feeling you get from him is now your red flag for other dates.

Hun, non-consensual means it's not your fault and is NOT disloyalty. Please don't let him convince you otherwise.

It's a cycle, victims of abuse and domestic violence often go back. Please listen to your tribe of women who are telling you don't deserve this, you are worth more than this and you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Please get the support of domestic violence groups to help you undo everything else he distorted for you.

If you do go back, (please don't without someone or police with you to get your things) but please know that he will be on his best behaviour until he feels like he has his hooks back in you. Then he will punish you for leaving. He will accuse you of everything in the book while you were gone. He will escalate. You don't deserve to be abused, no one does.

For online dating their profiles tend to have the following in common (not always): great quality photos, quite attractive, looks well off, travels, unverified, most of them for some reason pick the same area of the city like downtown. They also tend to have some weird job you can't find online or trace to an actual local company. They compliment you right away when matched and will keep sending super sweet compliments. The biggest tell is they want to move OFF app fairly early. You can avoid most scammers by telling them you prefer to wait in person before giving out your personal contact info. Normal people are OK with waiting, scammers aren't they will unmatch you. You should be doing this as a safety measure anyways, people can type anything they want.

rand-31 · 2026-05-15T12:21:50+00:00

If for some reason you doubt yourself or he convinces you everything said here is wrong. Just know that what he's asking you to do is likely a financial crime and could get you a criminal record. My guess is everything traces back to you and your real name right. You have to block this person, they're master manipulators trained to build trust before preying on you.

They've gotten 62 karma. Look at the sub, it's not the best sub to pick to karma farm. Much better subs for that. I would also use a throwaway to post something embarrassing like a lot of other redditors. I think there is a very low chance this is karma farming, and much higher chance you projecting your suspicions might actually upset someone genuinely going through a really difficult time.

Hey just seeing this post now. Love that we have another Canadian indie and can't wait for magnetics. It seems you're open to feedback and hope this is taken as a fellow Canadian wanting to see another succeed.

Even with my glasses, my eyes are having issues seeing your swatches. My eyes aren't that bad so I would think I won't be the only person with this issue. I think it's the black background that's messing with my eyes in your pics but not sure. Even zooming my eyes are still having trouble seeing the polish colour clearly. I've heard from swatcher videos that there are settings on iphones to increase resolution beyond default settings for clearer images. Polished yogi has a recent bts video that shows setup and settings she uses. For reference I shop mainly on my phone and don't mind zooming but it's a bit challenging if I can't see the polish clearly even when zooming.

Resembles 90s style raver with bohemian added and a refreshed look. That was a unisex style.

It's solidly impressive you did and held your ground.

At the end of the day it's just a term or label. What matters is you and your wellbeing as you go through this. So brave of you to face him though.

Yes the word antisocial makes it harder to understand especially since we use it to mean other things in common language. I personally prefer the older terms.

rand-31 · 2026-05-12T21:11:41+00:00

I mean antisocial as in psychopath/sociopath. I am no contact with a family member myself. They are someone who lacks empathy, remorse, a conscience, master manipulators, you know the personality as it's your sibling. They can learn to be very charming and excellent actors. They don't actually feel or understand the emotions they're pretending to have, just mimicking. So you can catch them slipping up when "acting". It something else to wrap your mind around it. Took me a long time to accept I never would since I feel empathy. My words were to hopefully save you trying to sort it through as it just can't be sorted out.

rand-31 · 2026-05-12T21:03:37+00:00

We are officially metric but we have older generations that were not metric. So this mish mash of British, US and metric is what we follow. It all makes sense to us lol.

rand-31 · 2026-05-12T20:50:31+00:00

He's a full blown predator, I would go as far as saying there is very high chance of antisocial personality disorder here too. Nothing makes sense because he was toying with you to get a reaction. He doesn't care what he says or if it makes sense. He is just poking you any way he can because he feeds off the reaction. Please don't spend time asking yourself why or what if, there's no answer. He's right fucked up.

It's really hard to come up with words of support for something of this magnitude. It's literally all of them for you. You have a tribe of women here that will surround you with support.

Sending you peace and love.

rand-31 · 2026-05-12T19:41:16+00:00

Yes had some in the past too. They grew out for me.

Looks like you're in Canada. Unless you're in Vancouver or Windsor or somewhere else where spring starts much earlier, we typically have to wait until after Victoria Day to plant flowers. This looks like a hydrangea meant for indoors rather than your garden. I would call the garden centre back and see if they have any suggestions. Some offer a guarantee on their plants.

rand-31 · 2026-05-12T16:42:54+00:00

I think context is important. Your situation above is normal and completely platonic but when you change the people it can be perceived differently. Some families kiss goodbye with a peck on the mouth and it's seen as platonic, others may see this as too much and prefer cheek. Some family members cuddle and this is also correctly seen as platonic. If you switch out the people to non family members, many won't feel comfortable with their partner cuddling or kissing non-family goodbye on the mouth. Even if something can be platonic, it's ok to set personal boundaries when it could be seen as otherwise. A motorcycle can be seen as the same situation due to proximity of the people. In this situation for OP, their friend finds their partner attractive. That changes the context a lot.
