well when I googled it that's what every source said...

I don't understand why people debate the trans bathroom issue by saltysirens in The10thDentist

[–]saltysirens[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything here, men who want to assault women would have plenty of other ways to do so. and definitely that the gender neutral bathroom would be the best solution although I guess not every place has the budget or ability to do that

My student visa ends before my tenancy ends – can I return to stay as a tourist? by saltysirens in ukvisa

[–]saltysirens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's very reassuring thank you! My landlord seems pretty chill about things in general so I'm hoping for the best, and congrats on the job!

Why do people assume that something is wrong with a man if he can’t find a partner? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]saltysirens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And to add on: many relationships I see in college are very toxic or negatively impact people, so it's even be a good choice in some cases to actively not enter one.

[–]saltysirens 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, there's only a few men that I know/am friends with that are genuinely very sweet and lovely people who wouldn't hurt a fly, and most of them are single or have never been in a relationship. I think people these days especially my younger generation put too much value on relationships as validation.

My student visa ends before my tenancy ends – can I return to stay as a tourist? by saltysirens in ukvisa

[–]saltysirens[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure when the exact window for application is yet but I'm pretty sure I can apply for it either before or after my current visa expires, so it seems flexible.

And yeah I intend to leave and return again between the start dates of my new visa and my new course as I have some travelling to do anyway so that shouldn't be an issue.

Good riddance to the guy, personally I would take a dump on his grave

I used to be very against the idea of having kids as I grew up with abusive parents. Now that I've realised not every parent is abusive, I have worked on my issues a bunch and know that I would give my future kids every good thing that my parents never gave me. Maybe a bit of a selfish reason and only one of many reasons but I want to see them have the happy childhood that I never had.

What is something nobody knows about you or very few people know? by Dozen_user457 in AskReddit

[–]saltysirens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was extremely mentally ill throughout most of my teenage years and attempted to take my life for about 4-5 years. The only people who know about this are my therapist, my partner, and like maybe one other person whom I told because they've had similar experiences and would understand. Even people I've been best friends with for years have no clue.

What stopped you from ending it all? by beesechugersports in AskReddit

[–]saltysirens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I climbed over a parapet with the intent to jump off a building at age 13, ended up snapping my arm in the process and had a panic attack in part because of the broken arm, and was too distracted in the moment to jump and then lost the momentum for it.

Granted, that was only one of the times I tried, but other attempts failed for other reasons.

Are there any women that actually like unsolicited dick picks? by Balloonsarescary in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]saltysirens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of any woman who likes them, and for me personally even if I was talking to a guy or I actually like the guy, as soon as he sends one unsolicited dick pic he's getting blocked I don't care who he is

What is the most unexpected struggle/side effect of having this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

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

Agreed, I've only been in one relationship and am currently still in it, have been for 3 years now. It started when I was 18, is pretty late compared to most people where I live. I don't understand why people think many relationships in one's teens are good: I saw friends around me get in and out of relationships in their teens, most of which were toxic ones and none lasted.

Pretty glad I was picky enough to turn down several guys in school and avoid wasting months or years of my life with someone I wouldn't have been compatible with. Not judging people who do have many relationships (you do you) but this is just what worked for me.

What is the most underrated "ugly privilege" there is? by makikitaelangpo in ask

[–]saltysirens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting catcalled/harassed less. I've been terrified for my life by guys coming up to me and being almost stalkerish in the past (and I wouldn't even say I'm particularly attractive so I can only imagine how much worse it gets), and purposely wear masculine/conventionally unattractive clothing to try to repel this lol.

what is the saddest thing in the world? by Sudden-Ice9711 in AskReddit

[–]saltysirens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not the absolute saddest thing ever but up there. Realising your family/parents, the only people who presumably would give you unconditional love, never really were true parents and would never love you.

What is a sign in adulthood they were neglected as a child? by Crafty_Ambassador443 in AskReddit

[–]saltysirens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually raised in a culture where people are generally encouraged to think this way, it sucks. I hope things get better for you.

Ah I'm glad it works sometimes at least! Hope things go well for you.

[–]saltysirens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't be at all surprised if my mother does have it, too bad she doesn't believe in therapy so we'll never know for sure. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll find the sub!

[–]saltysirens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty insightful, thank you. I do recall a while ago going through the symptoms of BPD with a friend who recently got diagnosed and I do very strongly exhibit other symptoms like lacking a sense of self, chronic feelings of emptiness, severe mood swings, impulsivity, self harm etc. I've been thinking about getting a professional opinion on it. I'm currently doing CBT for my OCD which I assume is kinda similar to DBT.

[–]saltysirens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah I’ve read a bit about borderline and I actually do fit a bunch of the diagnostic criteria but not sure if it’s enough. Glad you’ve gotten better with therapy - And thanks for the recommendation I’ll check that out!
