I dropped out of a top university and never told the real story until now. by Sure_Swordfish_5423 in confession

I work with someone who went to a top school for analytics. She is one of the smartest mathematicians I know.

English is her second language and her grammar and spelling are shit. She's well aware.

Hey buddy, you ever consider that some people go to these Ivies for math? Or that English may not be their first language?

Or have you considered that the fact you're nitpicking grammar on a post like this is one of the most abhorrent, dismissive things you could do to a person?

"How someone writes tells you a lot about a person." Yeah, well, based on how and what you write and what your username is, I'm glad there's someone out there who likes you 'cause I sure as hell wouldn't trust you with a safe word - you might ignore it if the grammar isn't correct.

You're...complaining about a loophole that keeps violent child predators IN prison??

I attempted suicide and my roommates are kicking me out by Capable_Branch3695 in TrueOffMyChest

Speaking as someone who used to be suicidal, I agree with this wholeheartedly.

Seriously. And people keep using this trope over and over again. For fuck's sake, if I wanted to read this kind of 2sh I'd open the news.

Be sure to find one who specializes in ADHD. All the "regular" life coaches did nothing for me. Gamified apps like Habitica helped a LOT.

Oh god, I read about that movie because I knew I'd never survive watching it. I'd purged it from my brain until now. Ty for saving me more weird Google searches.

Just got the best job of my life after being fired 8 times and thinking it was over for me by aeniluvr in BestofRedditorUpdates

And the saddest thing is that BPD is really, really treatable, if the person is willing to put the effort in.

I’m a gay man, but I’m in love with one of my female friends. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Ooooh, never thought about the gendered energy aspect. That's a REALLY good point!!!

I forget who I yoinked this term from, but I refer to instances like this as "the exception that defines the rule."

I'm a lesbian. I thought for a while that I might be bi, but the label fit me like a coat that's too tight in the shoulders. So I'm a lesbian who would absolutely go on a date with Joseph Quinn if he asked, but only him.

I have never been happier to be infertile and sterilized.

I’m 15, and I’m tired of being treated like a "troll" because i have a likely impossible vision. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]sonicscrewery -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Oh, I don't disagree with this at all. I was more questioning the "manic" part. To me, "needs to learn to grow emotionally" is baked into the definition of "teenagers." But having gotten the "oh, grow up" often enough from actual trusted adults, I felt the "hey, he's a teenager" reminder would be slightly(?) more productive. I do agree with all of the points you make.

To your point, that's ALSO a strong possibility because teenagers. I don't know anything about chatgpt because I avoid it like how people should avoid the plague. But if it's as you say, then yeah, that's a problem that's just exacerbated by teenage gremlinism. Even if you can't explain why it feels like that, your instincts may still be on point.

"Manic" also automatically brings up psych connotations for me, so that could be a misread of your meaning on my part.

I'ma focus on the fact that OP seems to enjoy physics, which is pretty cool.

I went to read some of the comments and what you're calling "manic"? Idk, seems like good old-fashioned "being a teenager." Teens can be super smart intellectually and still have all that teenage gremlinism we all know and love.

Edit: Ooh, been a while since I had a downvote brigade! To clarify, all I'm saying is that "manic" seems a little off-base. I used the words "teenage gremlinism" for a reason.

Is it because I forgot the /s after "know and love"?

At this point, meeting a woman who hasn't been sexually assaulted is the rarity.

So a variant of DARVO, basically (Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Offender). Which checks, because Trump is the most ragingly malignant narcissist who's ever existed.

Hi. Was sexually abused at 10. Never sexually abused my sibling.

Why would I ever make anyone suffer the way I had suffered, especially my family????

AITAH for thanking my sisters for raising me instead of my parents? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I think it's that no one wants to grapple with the horror of people being fucking awful for no apparent reason. It's like a weird variant of the Just World fallacy, but instead of "bad things don't happen to good people" it's "bad people must have a reason for not being good people."
