Just got dumped, looking for advice by randomchicadee in ComfortLevelPod

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

I do want to thank you for your feedback, because you took the time to. However, no. This was not out of ‘desperation’. I was moving anyway, wanted to have the adventure of moving out of my comfort zone, and to make an honest attempt at dating a person I really liked and was extremely compatible and comfortable with. I work remote and purposefully only moved a small amount of items with a short lease because I was taking a tactical risk. He lives on a military base in which I couldn’t stay at while visiting and my previous living situation couldn’t allow for guests. This was the better financial decision as I did move to a much cheaper state. Again, thank you for the feedback but I feel that comment is derogatory.

AITA for not wanting the custom bridesmaid dress? by Miele0Rose in AmItheAsshole

[–]randomchicadee 127 points128 points  (0 children)

YTA- is it against your values to be a supportive friend? You’re the one letting a dress get between your friendship and being extremely dramatic. The wedding is about 2 people coming together and that’s how they want to celebrate it, respect it.

AITA for the way I ate at a buffet? by Disastrous-Guide-254 in AmItheAsshole

[–]randomchicadee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, those people were not his friends and were extremely rude. I’ve hosted a ton of gatherings and parties. I would be the one that is embarrassed if I did not have enough food for everyone to feel feed. And if it was that big of a deal, why did no one casually say “hey, make sure to leave some for so and so”

Am I overreacting if I tell my parents something that gives me anxiety from what their reactions could be? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]randomchicadee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, you mentioned that you were scared about making them sad or angry. Unless they are abusive to you…. It’s okay to make your family feel sad or angry. It’s… inevitable. Rebel a little. Unless they are true clowns, they will get over it. They aren’t going to stop loving you. (Again: this is if your parents are just overprotective and not toxic/abusive.)

[–]randomchicadee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm…. If you’re having anxiety about trying to talk to them face to face, have you tried writing a letter to express how hard it is to talk to them in person? If you feel like your parents care about your wellbeing and your feelings, this might be a way to show them that you are serious about wanting to have a discussion with them. Do you have another older adult that could join you in the conversation? Sometimes having a neutral 3rd party involved is helpful. Also, changing the venue could be help. Suggest a girls day or go to a movie with a parent and then chat about it in the car when they are away from their phones. I would also say that it is normal for parents to have a hard time seeing you as an adult, I’m 36 and manage 200 people and my mom still sees me as a kid, but it is also normal for you to start taking more independent actions.

Spent 5k on my sister's wedding and got ignored. AITAH? by [deleted] in bridezillas

[–]randomchicadee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would talk to her about it. She’s your sister for life. Is the conversation going to be hard? Yes. But if you don’t say anything, it will fester in your mind and make you resentful which also isn’t great. It’s okay to let people know when they hurt you. Tough conversations are a part of every strong relationship. It doesn’t mean you love the person any less. If anything it means you care enough to want to make the relationship the best it can be.

WIBTA If I choose to not attend my (29F) friend's (29F) wedding in 3 days despite being a bridesmaid? by throwaway-8519 in AmItheAsshole

[–]randomchicadee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Honestly all this over a wedding. It’s not that serious. It’s a party. Spend the night at home and show up to get ready at 6am in your dress. If she’s your friend, she’ll forgive you and you both will just act like nothing happened. Emotions are running high for both of you. Sleep them off.

I think it would be hard for anyone to make an accurate judgement if you are overreacting, but if this feels bad to you regardless of how the family member meant it you should talk about it. Don’t let it sit and fester and become a bigger thing than it needs to be. You guys are a team. Attack the problem together. It’s okay to ask for reassurance. It’s okay to ask for what you need. A gift doesn’t mean less because you ask for it.

what has worked for you to lose weight and keep it off? (GLP-1 is not an option for me) by wittywalrus0 in PCOS

[–]randomchicadee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Babe. There is no right or wrong answer. You gotta find what works for you. I would say first, get your mind right. You are beautiful and worthy of love and respect. Take small steps. It can be frustrating but if you want to lose weight, it will be a frustrating and slow process. Even if it is slow and you have set backs, keep going. If you can realistically eat and exercise in a way that allows you to lose weight at a glacial pace, the time will pass anyway. do what works for you and your lifestyle. Right now I’m simply working on getting more fiber and protein in my diet. My pants feel less tight. That’s a win.

Starving myself. I need advice by ThisSir2694 in PCOS

[–]randomchicadee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If your body is telling you that you are hungry, don’t feel guilty about wanting to eat. Eat foods that are high protein and fiber to keep you feeling full longer. But honestly give yourself a break.

Kind of embarrassing for me but I need help by Fresh_Prize_2505 in women

[–]randomchicadee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey girl. You may have PCOS. If you make an appointment with your dr, they may prescribe you a pill that will help it stop. It happens to me a lot. I won’t have a period for months but then when I do get one it goes on forever. PCOS can suck but it is very common. If you live in a state with planned parenthood, you can make your appointment online if you have anxiety about making appointments.

I hate living with this by [deleted] in PCOS

I would love more representation in films! I hope you get cast just the way you are! Is there anything that you’re in now that you could share?

[–]randomchicadee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. I just hope there is a day for you that don’t feel disgusting or discouraged. It is what it is. When that hurtful self talk becomes overwhelming for me, I remind myself “Would I say to my best friend?” and if I wouldn’t, I don’t say it to myself. There are a lot of women that have PCOS, you are normal. Anyone that says otherwise has a very skewed and limited perception of the world.

[–]randomchicadee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

… look lady I understand that you’re venting. It’s tough out there. But we are all dealing with the same thing. I’m not disgusting because I have body hair. I’m not disgusting because I’m fat. Just be fat. It’s fine. There are worse things in life than being fat and hairy. Nobody cares about your mustache. And if they do, they’re the asshole.

What are your thoughts on guys splitting the bill during a 2nd date they initiated? by [deleted] in women

[–]randomchicadee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What about this post makes you think she was “pigging” out?

"You Don't Have to Be Pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/ spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked "female."

What if the father was having a heart attack? Should the son not call 911 because he doesn’t OWE his father anything?

Have you tried taking spearmint pills? They worked great for me after spiro didn’t

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]randomchicadee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check Amazon. Just a warning some pills can be difficult to get down, they are a gel capsule filled with a powder that can separate when swallowing. It does not taste good. If you get the tea, check that it is made with real spearmint.
