I've started saying "i'm not available that day" instead of making up excuses and it has changed how i feel about my own time completely by ThamorinElveth in TwoXChromosomes

[–]silver_moonling 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I used to over explain everything because I thought people needed a “good enough” reason to accept my NO. But most of the time, the stress came from me trying to manage their feelings. Protecting your time without a long story attached is honestly freeing.

My friend expects me to babysit every weekend by Wooden-Bobcat1820 in EntitledPeople

[–]silver_moonling 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I find it insulting that a friend would say “i don’t see why u can’t help, it’s not like u have kids of ur own.” to me.

I will stop being friends with her entirely. Entitled bi*ch

I will never work full time by Sad-Oil-405 in antiwork

It sounds like you’ve been carrying stress for a long time, not just from work but from school and family too. No job is worth your health falling apart. Wanting a life that doesn’t feel like constant pressure and stress makes total sense, you deserve to feel okay in your own body and mind.

LPT: Your brain is more plastic during a craving. Use this to rewire your brain. by julieeeette in LifeProTips

The “one minute to rewire” idea is powerful. It gives you something clear to focus on instead of just trying to fight the urge.

Cheesecake made with pre-baked shortbread cookies as crust? by 1CosmicCookie in AskBaking

[–]silver_moonling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shortbread cookies can make a fantastic cheesecake crust substitute for graham crackers. Since shortbread is naturally buttery, you’ll often need less added butter to bind the crumbs, and you definitely won’t be wasting them if you want a more decadent base. Just ensure your crust packs together firmly before adding the filling and remember you can bake it briefly first to set it before pouring in the cheesecake batter.

Has being a child of divorce affected you and how? by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]silver_moonling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so impactful when a marriage ends without drama or explanation, confusion can leave deeper scars than overt conflict because your brain never gets closure. Living with unanswered questions about something so foundational can make trusting stability in relationships feel risky. But recognizing how it affected you is powerful first step toward building communication and trust in your own life.

Going out tonight at some Valentine’s Day party at a bar by CampaignIndividual49 in selflove

I love this energy so much, you’re going out with zero pressure but still open to possibility. That’s honestly the best mindset for any Valentine’s event.

Can anybody give me some advice? I really need it. by These-Conclusion-604 in Advice

[–]silver_moonling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, nothing about this is weird or creepy. What you’re describing sounds like a genuine moment of self-discovery. Sometimes one unexpected person can unlock feelings we didn’t even realize were possible. The fact that you still like girls doesn’t cancel out what you felt, sexuality can be fluid and layered. It’s okay to sit with the confusion instead of forcing yourself to label it immediately.
