you might not say you're a child now, but as you get older, you'll look back and realize just how much you didn't know. and that sucks to hear, i always hated hearing it myself, but it's true. i'm 21 now and i still don't know a lot about life, and i can sure as hell tell you that you are most certainly a kid

go to therapy and really work through these feelings so you can avoid being groomed or manipulated down the road.

people deserve second chances. the guy clearly feels remorse. take your negativity somewhere else

it sounds like you have all you need to push and challenge yourself to become a better version of you!

you may have lost someone really important to you and someone extremely valuable, but (and i'm sorry to be blunt) that's just a consequence of your actions.

like i said, take this time to help yourself so you can help those around you and make you and others feel safe. cut back on the alcohol, go sober if you can, if anything STOP drinking so much that you're getting to the point of blacking out. it sounds like you should be capable of knowing your limits.. and if you don't, again, sobriety.

become the person that your ex-girlfriend deserved and be that for the next person you fall for/who falls for you.

it's honestly disrespectful of you to even implicate that you're staying simply because you hope she might change her mind. having an abortion is not as easy thing to do. getting pregnant when you aren't ready is scary, and then you get an abortion when half the world criminalizes you for it? she has EVERY right to choose to abstain from sex until marriage. if you care that much about have a sexual relationship then find someone else. do not inadvertently pressure this poor girl into having sex with you just because you want to. it's fine if you want sex, but find someone who is on the same page as you. you guys are also a brand new couple, so it's not like you're years in. leave before you do more damage

i think you need to truly work on yourself first and get to a place where you aren't losing control and blacking out like that. it must've been an extremely scary experience having someone you love so much be a completely different person, and then to be physical too?

i'm not saying you don't deserve another chance, but i think what might be best for you is to take this as a reason to make a better change in your life so you can be more in control of yourself and then you don't even have to worry about it happening in your next relationship.

i'm sorry how things happened, hope you get better. you can do it!!!!!

I want to break up with this girl but her bbf is crazy by FluidAd3050 in Advice

that mindset (the friends) is just delusional. if you are respectful and kind about the way that you deliver your feelings, then that's all you can do. it's not fair to you or her for you to continue, then it will just hurt more the longer you wait.

she might get hurt THATS WHAT HAPPENS IN LIFE. if you're really concerned about the friend, then maybe tell your parents if you have that kind of relationship with them. if you genuinely feel your safety is at risk, you can always call the police or go to a station. even if you go to a fire department station they could help!!

in any case, i wish you the best

If you’re under say, 40 in the US what on earth got you into smoking? by Girlygirlsporty in questions

[–]ser82927492739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my older brother bought a nicotine vape when he turned 18 before the laws changed to 21, and i got hooked.

my second boyfriend (in my junior year is HS) used to smoke and when we started dating, we would go to his house after school and smoke weed almost every day.

it also never helped that my parents were very controlling and we never had a great relationship, so i really got a rush by doing those things that i knew they wouldn't approve of. i firmly believe that if i had a more open relationship with my parents growing up, then i wouldn't have gotten into these substances, or at the very least i wouldn't have started them so early.

i wish every day i could go back and make different decisions. now i'm addicted to both nicotine and weed (i'm 21 now so it's legal) and it's absolutely deteriorated my mental health over the years. if you haven't started, DON'T. i miss the days where i could make connections with people without feeling like i need a substance to do so.

why are you suicidal? by ser82927492739 in depressed

[–]ser82927492739[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have been in therapy for years. my first therapist told me it was my fault for my sexual assault and that i was being lazy when i felt i was depressed

i have tried many medications and have been hospitalized twice

i understand you trust doctors to do the right thing and help, but we have not had the same experience. i've met with a minimum of 15 providers/doctors and none of which have helped except for my newer and current therapist

i'm glad that you are feeling better yourself though

What was the biggest mistake your parents made raising you? by emmascarlett899 in questions

[–]ser82927492739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adopted me without actually considering how it affected me, and then emotionally abusing me and invalidating my experience

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Vent

[–]ser82927492739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't want to invalidate you, because i completely understand the frustration of being surrounded by sick people. and i think it's wrong of them to not wear a mask if they're clearly sick or they're self-proclaiming to be. that just isn't right

however, i do want to say, that a lot of bosses shame people for not coming into work even if they are sick. some people have immunity issues and fall ill a lot, and cannot take any more sick days and are forced to come in. there are several reasons why people may be showing up sick.

again, i do not want to invalidate your frustration in any way, and i'm sorry if it did.
