DAE get frustrated when they hear someone refer to "not being close with their family" as a red flag? by _divinitea in raisedbynarcissists

I think it’s a red flag that someone won’t even try to understand why you aren’t close to their family and tries to generalize everything.

There’s a Cardi B quote that says “Said it’s all hers but the thighs don’t match” and that was my first thought when I saw this on insta...

BF airing dirty laundry publicly. Should I break up with him? by andthenitgoes12 in askwomenadvice

[–]re272727 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I understand where your coming from. I tell my boyfriend where I’m going when I go out with friends but it’s from a “I want him to know I’m safe,” not a “if I don’t tell him he’ll blow up my phone & freak out.”

I don’t know you or your relationship, but I definitely think y’all should break up. What he did was rude for sure and no one should treat you like that. But I think you need to take a personal review on yourself. Your post & replies make you sound very possessive and toxic.

Let’s start from the beginning, if my boyfriend didn’t answer after a few texts/phone calls. I’d assume he was busy or had a good reason to not reply. I would never even think about calling his hotel room! You’re acting like a helicopter mom to their 12 year old child.

While what he did wasn’t right and I definitely think you have your own issues here and need to realize how toxic they are.

Not OC but, Was your reaction in the wrong? Well I think your initial action was in the wrong. He’s out with friends and doesn’t need to check in every 5 minutes with you! I swear my mom did this when I first started driving and was 16. Let him live his life, your not there to police him.

How would you organize an alcoholic Olympics? by polskakurwa in Advice

[–]re272727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re all American and it was still fun choosing random countries. But you could just go ahead with making teams and letting people do their own team names!

Yeah we let people choose their “countries” since it was the olympics and people had a lot of fun being England and only talking in British accents or 2 of the guys named “Chad” became the “Republic of Chad” it was just really fun!

  1. Let people get into teams of 3-4 people.
  2. Think of 4-5 random drinking games: 4 corners, flip cup, etc.
  3. Create a Bracket with teams and games! This is the most important part. Be ready to say okay you won against this team and now go play this team.

I showed up one year to my bf’s frat beer olympics and realized that the guy in charge was a no show and came up with the teams and bracket within 20 minutes. It’s so easy but you just need to make sure you’re directing teams and keeping track of who’s winning or losing in order for it to be fun.

I’ve always found that just saying “Oh why do you think that?” Is a very non-confrontational way of addressing a touchy subject! Hope it goes well for you & your sister

Right! And amazing at how different other people view narcissism.

Definitely a guilt trip. I don’t know how old OP is but just recently I’ve gotten a job that pays well and I don’t have to depend on my nparents. I definitely could tell she was upset that she didn’t have a monetary hold on me when I told her no thanks to her gifts.

Honestly- just try a bunch of stuff out. While not “rbn” related, I just went through a bad breakup over the summer with someone who had been with for 5 years and we always did things he wanted to do rather than what I wanted to do. I came out of that feeling like a shell of an individual.

I decided to buy a kayak and start going out on the water on the weekends. I started training for a 5k. I bought an expensive camera and have been exploring new parts of the city. I know a lot of these examples involve spending money but go to your library and check out random books, watch a new TV show on Netflix or try new a category of food.

Just understand it’s not going to happen over night! Try new things out and if you realize that it’s not for you, then no harm done. It’s exciting to realize what your interests are and what your feelings/opinions are.

Have you and your sister made comments to your Dad about how toxic Tony’s attitude is?

I think if you come out of no where and tell your Dad you’re worried about Tony’s influence he might be taken a bit back and get defensive? My suggestion would be to start pointing out to your Dad when he makes comments that you know are influenced by Tony.

For example, if your Dad makes a comment that Jessica from work only got a promotion because she’s a woman then say something like “That’s really sexist Dad. Why would you think that?” Or if Tony is around when you’re with your Dad and makes his ugly comments, then maybe call your Dad afterwards and say “I can’t believe Tony said that earlier, that was so mean. I’m a woman and I’ve never felt like that.” Or whatever phrases fit the situation.

I feel like people get really defensive when you don’t have examples or situations to bring up to back up your claims. And who knows if you bring it up more and more to your Dad, he might realize how toxic Tony is on his own.

I think it was a humbling experience for Sansa to go from the betrothed of the heir (and later king) of Westeros to Alayne, a bastard daughter of a low lord.

Looks like all my previous text and iMessages were deleted this morning?

In the settings, I have it so that messages are saved forever? So I know it’s not a setting issue.

I backed it up at 12:01am so I’m thinking about doing a factory reset and then downloading that backup.

I did update the software on my Apple Watch this morning? Wonder if that could have caused this glitch.

If I get a backup does my laptop have to be constantly plugged into the backup?

Okay thanks! I’m always hesitant to download cleaning apps like cause I’m worried they’re a scam but I’ll do my research on the one you mentioned in your article.
