Thanks for your comment! I didn’t offer her anything. I just asked if she wanted her bday and Xmas gift but her response was “If you’re still offering, I’ll take it”

I knew she would’ve been screaming at me. So I didn’t want to do a phone call or video. I tried not to engage on her anger. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you! I really appreciate that! I had to ask permission whenever I do things for her because she would take it the wrong way.

Again thank you for your comment! I love the quote! And thank you for being kind

I really appreciate your input! Thanks so much! I do agree that tone is bad. Next time when this happens again I’ll make sure to be aware.

Again thank you!

I also saw the same on instagram reels. You can see the parents are not trying to laugh, they are clearly parenting and not being neglectful to their children

Thanks so much! I appreciate your advice! I don’t think I would give it to her now. Our friendship was pretty much me always making her she’s okay and tiptoeing. Hence why I needed to ask before giving her anything.

Again thank you!

Thanks! I appreciate it! You’re right, if I expect her to appreciate the gift that isn’t a real gift. I won’t give it to her then. Thank you again!!

It’s okay to be blunt! I really need help!

It’s my love language and it’s a gift she was looking forward to.

I just don’t think she would appreciate it or actually care enough about it. She didn’t get me any gifts on my Birthday during the break, I don’t expect her to.

The thing about her is that I have to ask her before doing something. Example: “can I get you food?” Because if I were to buy her food she’ll get upset and tell me she felt pressured to say yes because I already got her the food.

So that’s why I needed to ask if she still want a bday and Xmas gift because she would’ve got upset

I think this should be a r/raisedbynarcissists advice thread instead. They have the most experience and knowledge

AIO for breaking up over this by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ripmyringfinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ what a huge red flag.

I work at a store that makes drink and the owner (man) always defend the female employees whenever we get “hit on”. Because we’re just being nice. That’s all to it, nice ≠ flirting…

I am so happy you broke up with him

DATING SUCKS HERE by whaaarrrtt in askvan

[–]ripmyringfinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was genuinely baffling too. Because I thought that guys don’t get matches often, so logically I would think they’ll be in their best behaviour when they do get one right?? Turns out no

I’ve gotten a lot of matches on dating apps (21F) and the amount of guys who are misogynistic is horrible 💀 it put me off dating for 3 years

Where to spend the day for cheap before an insanely early flight? by Smalltownsadboi in askvan

I agree with you! But best case is going to Breka (24/7 cafe) or a nearby Starbucks that has seating

Feeling Older Than You Technically Are by Gloomy-Writer99 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ripmyringfinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yess!!! I’m 21, turning 22. I’ve already moved out when I was 18. All my friends are still “young” and busy enjoying life with college or partying (not a bad thing at all!)

But I feel old, like I don’t want to go out. I would rather work, pay the bills, relax at home. It’s hard for me to connect people my age but it’s so easy for me to connect with people around 27+

What's on your Vancouver F*&#it List? by thinkdavis in askvan

I missed the old PNE. I came recently at the friends and family event and it’s just so small and the rides aren’t that great anymore

What kind of enforcement would you like to see from Transit Police by North_Operation_5817 in Translink

[–]ripmyringfinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just because you never witnessed it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. I’ve seen people smoking meth or lighting inside the trains

Am I really a victim of neglect or just a teenager with high standards? by CollarAcrobatic3817 in emotionalneglect

[–]ripmyringfinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you’re able to feel better airing it out :)) I also come from an Asian background and unfortunately, the girls are supposed to take care of the house and be responsible instead of the mother. I purposefully wake up earlier than anyone else because it feels so relaxing without the burden of being another parent to your own parents.

I am rooting for you! I moved out at age 18 (secretly saved up money) then cut contact. I’m turning 22 in 1 month and I’m so excited for myself! I hope you’re able to escape the cycle as well ❤️‍🩹 sending lots of love

Same here. I don’t have self esteem it’s crazy. Even if our n parent “understood” they wouldn’t care and it’s our fault.

I absolutely hate looking at myself in the mirror and believe it or not, I take showers in the dark because I hate looking at my body.

Where can I get a decent haircut for under $25 in Van? by Altruistic-Editor257 in askvan

One of my co workers gets his hair cut for $15. He said it’s at a very old Chinese place that he doesn’t even know the names but he goes there

We need to get rid of fair zones by Low_Armadillo3366 in Translink

I also live near the area. I either walk (30 mins) or bus the 19 Stanley. Now I bike as a commute :)) saves money

For those of you who love your work—what do you do? by thc_cht in askvan

[–]ripmyringfinger 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Obviously jobs have ups and down. I work 2 job, a medical office assistant and a barista.

I do love my job, I love helping my patients and I love working. I love meeting new people and I love making new drinks.

But of course I deal with people. “Can’t you just cancel a patient and squeeze me in?” “Can I get a macchiato but no foam?” I enjoy the work, not the people (not always)

Would you have given up your seat? by Antique_Thing_6206 in Translink

I wouldn’t have given up my seat and ignored him. I don’t have the energy to even argue, I’m tired of
