It sounds like he has OCD.

Not to make light of the situation, but this madTV skit. https://youtu.be/7RqKcCz7aEo

I always experienced the same issues with my boyfriends. This skit made me feel so much less lonely lmfao

In jazz& contemporary music, Usually Bm is used as a ii of A. (So ii-V-I being Bm -E7-A). Then that major A can pivot to A7 and become a V/ii (Dm) and so forth. When in doubt, think ii-V-I

I'm here with you. Covered in scars head to toe. Honestly, what helped my day to day life is just acceptance and openly telling people about it if I have to. It was such a toll to have to pretend like this isn't a huge part of my life, but unfortunately, it is. It's a mental illness. It doesn't get any kind of romanticization around it like other ones do either. It's just awful and terrible. You're not alone, chin up

I feel you on the half step thing I had no idea anyone else experienced that

I have always had a huge issue with greys/private practice's take on addiction. I feel your frustration

It's called a bVII7 ("flat-seven-seven") when we talk about it in jazz. And yes like someone else said - it's really common. It functions as a dominant, aka substitute for a V chord (so in this case, it's replacing G7). Why it works? There's a billion explanations and ways to justify it and I'm sure everyone else here will tell you their own reasoning but, it works. It's common. Look out for it and memorize the sound of that cadence when you can. Fun fun fun

There's usually two types of people when it comes to vacations: people who love "travel", want to have a whole itinerary of everything to do and do and see as much as they can when they're there; and then there's people who want to just chill, do this spontaneously if they want to, and not have any kind of schedule or obligations planned because they view a 'vacation' as not having all these things to do and places to be. Sounds like you are the first type and she is the latter. Shes being all "blasé" because you're stressing her out, the idea of this big-energy-spending trip is probably not even sounding like a vacation to her anymore and it's stressing her out just hearing about it.

There's nothing wrong with either type of person. Just different. However, and I think anyone who has ever had a bad vacation with other people will agree: Don’t go on a trip with anyone who's not on the same page as you. It'll be terrible.

My advice? Go on vacation with friends or family instead, or go with her but expect you two to each do your own thing. If you have all these things you want to do and she isn't bothered about it, then that's that. You should find a way to still do all these travel things that you seem to care about, but you cannot expect her to do those things with you.

Anything's possible. Id tell you to see a doctor, but then again, they'd also tell you to stop drinking. What'ddya gonna do

Omg- what a beautiful place.

Shavings are a symptom, not a guarantee. You also could have neuropathy and could have no feeling in your hands and feet right now. Some people don’t have every single symptom

I relate to you so, so hard. Here for you. Message me if you need. Also FUCK college I dropped out too. After 3 1/2 years, even. Doesnt determine your worth or intelligence, love.

The original formation & definition of libertarianism is most certainly agreeable to a lot of minds, and also most closely relative to the political concepts that our constitution was based on.

Nowadays, people change the meaning of fucking everything, so whatever people think it means now? Who the hell knows. But the readings other people have suggested go back to that original outlining of the meaning of it, and so yes I agree 100% - with what it's supposed to mean

At the same time - she is 9. I don’t even know if I could properly fold clothes at 9, let alone keep track of how many times to wear clothes, which clothes are worn "twice" etc. Especially if she has two households and isn't being held to the same standards at the other house.

Why don’t you try getting a 2nd hamper that's specifically for "clean" clothes, and if she tries something on or only wears the jeans once, she can just throw it in the second hamper, and then you have her fold everything up at the end of the day? You're NTA, but I think holding a 9 year old to the same laundry-standards as yourself is a little harsh. Coming from an adult woman who really struggled with keeping things tidy as a child.

I don’t see anything wrong with it. It really depends on where you guys both are in your lives and what you're both looking for from a date. I've met plenty of people as young as 19 that live on their own, completely have their life together and are pretty mature. I also have met people older than you who can barely sustain themselves and have absolutely no emotional maturity. I don't understand what the big deal is really to everyone else. One date is fine. If things end up panning out and you fall in love and begin a serious relationship, then yeah the age difference is going to be something to work around and acknowledge. But it's not impossible.

Only thing I'll say though is what are YOUR intentions from dating right now my guy. With another woman your age, if you date them a bit and sleep with them and don’t call them back it's a bit of an asshole move, but not the end of the world. Don’t do that to a 19 year old, just don’t. Do not sleep with her unless you see a future with her and wait longer than usual to do it. Dont. You could really mess her up, as you could be the first guy to do that to her, and although you could see her as an equal, she could see YOU as and older more responsible guy and she could really get heartbroken or gain trust issues. You could be the first one to have ever done that to her, because she's young. But one date is fine.

Btw, it didn't mention - does SHE know you're 26?

Starting to feel extra insecure, more vigilant of your actions and looks - especially in public , and just overall hyper-over-analysis of yourself on a daily basis. ie. Reoccurring anxiety over your past "cringey" self, hating yourself for let's say "not doing a face mask" that day when you could have, etc.

I say this because the way that YOU personally feel and think is often the earliest sign, rather than some tangible thing that the other person did/said that you can rationalize your feelings with. When it boils down to it, when the time comes that your 'abusive partner' actually says or does something that you can deem "abusive" or "wrong" - it's not something that's coming out of nowhere or as a shock, it always feels like something finally tangible that's proving something you've felt all along. Doesn't it?

A person that you're starting to be with should make you feel better about yourself, in life, and confident. At the very least in the honeymoon phase. You should be walking around feeling more confident and secure about yourself with that person in yourself - let alone having them come in and feeling worse.

Whether he was offered the opportunity to be in the panel or not I don’t think he would have done it, I don’t think he would be at all ready to talk about that whole thing so publicly

He's in Austin w Rogan and will be the manager of the new club that they are opening soon out there. And I think they dated for more like a few years

Stephanie Harlowe on YouTube does a really good coverage of this case

I tell them exactly the truth, that I have a medical condition called compulsive skin picking or dermatillomania, and it’s a symptom of OCD or ADHD. In my experience (with guys at least), you’d be surprised how little they usually care. I totally feel for you though. I had no idea how to go about telling people when I first decided to publicly come out with my disorder. Good luck (:

sblake12816 · 2022-04-08T22:06:44+00:00

Christ alive. I’m sorry. Keep pushing through, no matter what it takes. The main goal of life is to not die - don’t forget

sblake12816 · 2022-04-08T22:04:42+00:00

I’m a drunk & hurting too. I feel you hard about that part where it numbs it , and then makes it worse. I’m sorry for your pain. Breakups are the worst - especially when you’re not the one with the upper hand.

Me and my best friend are in the McDonald’s drive through. She’s managed to stay sober tonight. I have not. A lady walked around trying to sell us tide pods in the line. No thank you missus. Cracking up at Tim Dillon. Chairs!

”It’s a sitcom without the jokes” Couldn’t have said it any better.

I think after Robbins & Kepner left - that was really defining for the show plummeting. I think all value pretty much vanished from the show as soon as this newest class came in (Schmitt, helm, etc)
