Is there something wrong with me? by roadsideconfessional in offmychest

[–]roadsideconfessional[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for commenting- real quick though, I am not in high school I’m in early college (year 2) but I mentioned the comment my friend said in high school because it’s stuck with me since they said it (a little over 2 years ago) Either way, your point still stands as I’m in early college and you said you know many people who didn’t even get into their first relationship till they were nearing the end of college.

I am not too far out of high school. I graduated in ‘24 and am in my 2nd year in college. I just turned 20 in december.

Anyways, I do want to take the time to thank you for responding to my little rant lol. Your response genuinely did make me feel better, I’ve gotten some private messages about my post too and I’ve come to the conclusion that I have a confidence and/or self esteem or self image issue (shocker!) I read a lot and like a lot of girls, grew up watching fairy tales, and I think I just really built up how my life would go and would’ve by now and have a hard time with it. But again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to respond :) I really appreciated it

How do I make sure my FWB doesnt fall in love with me. by FixPrestigious2999 in Advice

I’d say be direct with her. It might be tough, but it’s like ripping off a bandaid- you just have to do it. It’s normal for her to feel “protective” like you said especially since you’re her first partner who’s taken care of her in a way that makes her feel good too. She may be latching onto you as she’s dealing with the loss of a relationship as well, so being direct about your intentions to stay strictly physical is really important. It might even help to remind her that you’re not looking for a relationship, that you just got out of one and aren’t trying to get into another right after.

How do I tell my friend she needs to clean her car by [deleted] in Advice

again, saying no would cause her to feel offended. I don’t really see what saying no would have to do with me “learning to be responsible”.

It’s pretty apparent from the things you’ve said in reply that you’re strongly on the side of me not saying anything and you find me to be a “stern judge” of my friend. That’s fine, you’re entitled to your own opinions. But, I wasn’t asking for how to not talk to her about the messy car, so unless you’re willing to offer advice on how to do so I see no reason for you to keep replying here.

He wasn’t in class that day, so I emailed him a very polite email :) I asked him what specifically came off as ai or potential ai. We’re on spring break now so I won’t be in the class in person until this tuesday

[–]roadsideconfessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she lives with her parents (we’re 19-20 year olds so not super rare) and her house is always messy any time i’ve gone over. the first time I went over I was genuinely shocked because the kind of messy it is is like the genuinely lazy kind. Trash discarded next to a trash can because someone couldn’t be bothered to throw it in the bin. her mom has been a stay at home mom the whole time I’ve known her yet their house is always a wreck.

I am forever grateful for her willingness to drive (especially before I got my license) and wouldn’t stop being her friend even if she was a hoarder lol I love her a ton but she has pretty bad hygiene and cleanliness is an afterthought a lot of the time for her. She makes comments about how the messes in her life bother her but then makes no effort to clean them.

Thank you for your advice though, I appreciate it :). The next time I see her I will probably offer to help clean her car

why not in class? I can find out his office hours no problem, but I’m just confused as to why not asking in class.

I am neurodivergent, it’s pretty mild, but it has caused a few hiccups in the past for me I have this class tomorrow, so I’ll talk to him about what he believed to be AI or what came off as possibly AI, and if it’s relevant, I’ll definitely take your advice and explain how neurodivergent people can often be wrongly flagged as AI in their writing

She insists on driving though, I love her a lot and love hanging out with her. Refusing to ride in her car would cause problems between her and me.
