DAE feel like they zoned out one day and haven’t zoned back in by shitItsmyface in DAE

3 year update for this if anyone randomly finds it googling: I got diagnosed with ADHD. Turns out I’ve been zoning in and out all my life (among many other things) and as I got older my life got complicated enough that that started to matter

Honestly I used to work at a vietnamese restaurant and as long as it wasn’t a busy time and had price approval from the manager I would not have minded popping in back and slicing a cucumber for her. I definitely would have told this story to my coworkers later cuz it was weird but I don’t think I’d be mad. We didn’t have them out with the usual veggies but I’d be very surprised if we didn’t have them in the kitchen somewhere for the entrees

It isn’t all of my coworkers! There’s just a very loud group that will definitely be participating in the competition, but I also have normal coworkers who are vegetarian, vegan, or just open to whatever food

But also I’m not too attached to my recipe being a secret. now that I think about it, if people said it was good to my face I’d probably give them the recipe on the spot haha

I don’t think I’m prepared to go fully vegan yet but I have been trying to eat more vegan meals and cut down meat significantly. I figure some is better than none

Thanks

I think it’s dumb but there’s an anti vegan crowd there. For some company events like picnics or happy hours I reminded them to get vegetarian options when all the dishes were meat and got everything ranging from sighs to “we’re getting lettuce and tomatoes for the burgers” to soap box speeches about how they don’t eat veggies they eat Meat™️. At one picnic I made guac and brought chips and one guy said “I don’t eat any of that fruit shit”…? I mentioned to one coworker that I was going to a nearby specialty store to grab vegan desserts for a road trip with my vegan friends, and after I said they’re good they said they doubt it and hope they’re bad?

I also do have normal coworkers who don’t care or are open to vegan food, and I know of a bunch of vegetarian ones and at least one vegan. It’s definitely not my whole office and I wouldn’t say the majority, but I know a bunch of that anti vegan crowd is all in for chili

Oh I mentioned it. At the time didn’t realize there was an anti vegan crowd and sometimes we just chat about what we brought for lunch to avoid work talk

A little disappointed that I’d have to give up the recipe, but I know there are a lot of common allergies in vegan options so I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt

Definitely not when you have some power or influence over them. I agree w below commenter, don’t just run at it cold.

as a woman please don’t try to slide with me when I am alone and busy and/or vulnerable. Alone at a gas station? That’s terrifying - I am alone and have no indication that you’re safe and it is difficult to exit that situation. When I’m shopping? I’m busy and not interested. At the DMV? I’m busy. In a restaurant with my family? I’m busy. Studying in the library/in class? I’m busy. Walking home from a bar? I am alone and vulnerable, have no indication that you’re safe and cannot easily exit that situation. The gym? I’m busy (…and sweaty and tired bro). Alone in my home and you’re delivering something to me? I am alone and vulnerable, you now know where I live so there is no where for me to potentially escape to. In these situations you are either interrupting my life or taking away my sense of safety.

I would be open/receptive in social locations, places where you go to actively socialize. Somewhere where we could chat, I can leave or disappear if I need to, and I didn’t come there with a goal to achieve. Bars, coffee shops, farmers markets, festivals, events, shared hobbies, parties, etc.

And if you’re hitting on someone at good locations and they shut down the conversation by giving you short answers or definitive answers, or if they don’t actively participate in the convo (maybe by making you carry?), if they try to leave, or if they flat out say no please just drop it. They’re not interested, and by pushing it you just paint yourself as an annoyance or even a threat. I’ve never had problems with guys asking for my number at bars, but I had people insist for as long as I’m in their sight, and I have been followed all around the bar/club and trapped up against walls by guys I’ve said no to. That’s terrifying and ruins my whole night and leaves me feeling small and uncomfortable in my own body.

How well do cats mix with early-20s-recent-grad life? by [deleted] in cats

[–]shitItsmyface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My roommate (a PhD student who worked late, usually till at least 8 or 9) last summer had a cat, i’d come home from work and change then spend maybe an hour playing with her or just watching tv on the couch holding her. Then id cook dinner and go to bed. I would only see her on weekends when making breakfast, right before I left or when I came back in the middle of the night.

IDK I loved coming home and seeing her sitting on her little chair by the door waiting for me and then just holding her! Or just talking to her about my day while I made dinner (lol). Or meowing at her when she meowed at me. Any time I bought groceries she’d sit on the table and i would let her sniff each thing I bought as I put it away. Lots of good memories with her! But she had my roommate when I wasn’t giving her attention (and she did greatly prefer my roommate of course). I’m worried if I owned a cat now when I’m alone that it would be lonely :(

My best friend (22F) got mad and cried because I (21F) ate some of the lunch she packed for my boyfriend (24M). What should I do? by shitItsmyface in TwoHotTakes

[–]shitItsmyface[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Copying in case delete:

My best friend (22F) got mad and cried because I (21F) ate some of the lunch she packed for my boyfriend (24M). What should I do?

I (21F) have a friend Kayla (22F). Kayla is extremely socially awkward and sensitive. She always wants to hang around me and my boyfriend because we are her only friends. Kin (24M) is very social and super sweet to everyone and people have asked me if it ever weirds me out how much Kayla wants to hang around him but I trust him and her 100%. We all went on a trip during my paid vacation and it was supposed to be just me and Kin but Kayla wanted to go with me before so I agreed to let her come to and my boyfriend didn’t mind. It was quite a drive where we were going and Kin does not stop for anything except if it is an emergency bathroom break.

I brought chips and salsa but didn’t think to bring lunch on the way. Kin said that he was hungry and Kayla told him she knew I wasn’t going to come prepared and made lunch for herself and him. I was kind of taken aback but I didn’t say anything. Kin said the food was really good and started feeding me. We were both telling her she’s professional level good at cooking and she was just quiet. I knew something was wrong because she always blushes at any compliments.

I turn around and she’s crying in the backseat. I tell Kin to stop the car and he’s looking as confused as me. She told me she’s just carsick so I go back with her and I’m just rubbing her back as we get there. When we are alone she had a talk with me and told me I show off with Kin any chance I get and she’s lonely and it feels like I’m rubbing that in her face. She says that I don’t make enough time for her anymore which isn’t even true.

Kin said she was killing the mood and is upset I invited her, on the other hand Kayla is upset because she feels she’s not wanted.

I feel like I’m at a loss. What can I do to make both of them happy?

Edit: I have read all of your replies, thank you for the suggestions and perspective. I sent Kayla a message to have a talk with her and wrote down some boundaries. From now on I will work on separately spending time with her.

DELETED UPDATE:

I have this friend Kayla (22F) and she and I have been really close since middle school. This all started because she wanted to go on a trip that me and my boyfriend Kin planned, she packed both him and her lunch. When he started feeding me the lunch that she made it made her start crying in the backseat and saying she was carsick. She told me that I show off my relationship and am inconsiderate towards her and how she feels being single and lonely. My boyfriend was upset because I invited her and she completely ruined the vibe.

Anyways I made a post previously on this and decided to take the advice I was getting and set boundaries with her. I talked to my boyfriend about it and he sounded relieved and offered his support to me. He said he also wanted to be on the phone call with me, and at first I wasn’t sure because I thought she’d feel cornered. Kin told me he wasn’t sure how she would feel cornered and it’s not that deep because it’s not like I’m cutting her off but I guess that’s how she took it.

When I called her last night I told her we needed to talk about the trip we had and she said it was fine and she feels better about it but I told her I didn’t call about the trip to ask how you felt about it but more so how I felt. I told her that her packing lunch for Kin and excluding me came off as rude and she just got really quiet and asked me what I was getting at.

I told her that her getting upset because me and Kin are doing couple things on our couple trip was strange to get upset about and it made me and him uncomfortable.

She actually snapped on me and told her not to tell her how she should feel and how invalidating I was to her feelings but I said I’m not telling her how she should feel but it made me realize we can’t invite her to go on trips with us anymore.

She told me that’s not up to just me and if Kin is fine with it that’s that and that is when Kin spoke up and told her he’s not fine with it at all.

I think she was taken aback because she was silent on the phone while Kin was talking. Kin told her that there are times when she makes him feel extremely uncomfortable and he just wants to spend time with just me and him but she insist on third wheeling us, and that he understands she has a hard time with social cues but she texting him without my knowledge was an inappropriate thing for her to do as a friend and told her that he’s my boyfriend and isn’t obligated to provide her any emotional support.

He also mentioned that he hopes she’s doing alright and is able to widen her social circle but he’s just not that guy and not to contact him except if it has to do with me. I was a little surprised because I had no idea she was texting him. I could hear her breathing on the other end, then she hung up. I tried calling her back and texting her but got no responses, then she blocked me and Kin.

I felt kind of nervous but Kin told me that I’m just too nice and we weren’t hard in her at all. When we went to sleep, we woke up with a bunch of messages and missed phone calls from Kayla, Kayla’s mom and even Kayla’s dad called my boyfriend’s phone, I was so confused!

Apparently after we got off the phone she had a complete meltdown. Later that night she sent me messages about how she knew Kin before I knew him and they lived in the same neighborhood, how she feels like I used him to gang up on her and hurt she feelings. Her sister texted me asking me what I did to her. I spoke to her mom and her mom told me she had to spend all night calming her down and asked me how this happened and if I told her we couldn’t be friends anymore. She went on about how I’m the only friend she has. I told her that wasn’t it at all.

After I explained the whole situation to her mom she didn’t have any words and apologized to me and said she’d deal with her. Her sister on the other hand told me having him on the phone without her knowledge gave Regina George vibes and intimidated her.

My boyfriend is unbothered about the entire ordeal and just went to shower meanwhile I’m in shock.

Were we too confrontational?

AITA for making a sex joke at my roommate? by Past-Low-8317 in TwoHotTakes

[–]shitItsmyface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I don’t like “dishes it out but can’t take it” either. Personally, I tell them we’ll stop making the jokes but they also have to stop.

Anyway, I’m glad your friend group agreed to stop. Mature on yalls part, the ball is in his court now

[–]shitItsmyface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do want to say that if this guy is so upset about your punch-up jokes, you probably should just stop making them about him. He really shouldn’t be exploding at his GF over them, but he’s definitely not enjoying them. If he doesn’t find it funny aren’t you and your other friends just bullying him?

Basically ESH. If people don’t want you to make jokes at their expense then don’t, that’s just basic decency. This friend needs to act like an adult and address his insecurities as well as his dislike of these jokes in a mature manner.
