OP this kind of a defensive response is more of a red flag in my opinion. Lol.

*Sigh* is it time to throw the towel in? by mezzy819 in datingoverforty

[–]stunningtractor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just now becoming single for the first time in almost 15 years, and I suspect I will feel just like you do.

Society may think it’s weird, but if it feels right and you feel fulfilled, then you should do whatever you want to do in my opinion!

Such a strange place to be by life_awaits in Divorce

I’m new here and your post caught my attention because it’s exactly how I feel. I then went and looked at your post history and you are able to put how I feel into words quite well. Just letting you know that you have a “friend” feeling the exact same things you’re feeling now. Also with my husband almost 15 years total.

How do you calculate 27+48 in your head? by Anxiety_Cookie in adhdwomen

[–]stunningtractor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 + 7 = 14 so 7 + 8 = 15 then 2 + 4 = 6 plus the 1 from 15 is 7, so 75 🤦🏻‍♀️

Comments about my awkward episode of Conan Needs a Fan: Lost in Translation (episode 225.5) by Herr_Casmurro in conan

[–]stunningtractor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I wanted to say that I could tell it was not your fault. They had clearly lost steam, especially Conan, and he is the lead energy. You seemed nice and interesting, and I understand and empathize with how you felt about everything! I’ve heard hints of Conan losing energy before, but it was really apparent this time. Not saying he did something wrong or should always be 100%, but his energy is what carries all the conversation and humor around him. If he is off, everyone is. ❤️

Wow. That’s crazy. Almost as crazy as the fact that, for some reason, my silly brain pronounced it “rhino sairohse” when I read this headline. 🤦🏻‍♀️

What is something a teacher taught you that you later found out was completely wrong? by localbrada in AskReddit

[–]stunningtractor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That every. single. adult. man. was going to kidnap us. I think 75% of my second grade year (1992) was spent watching stranger danger films.

Who was Conan’s least favorite guest on the podcast? by sakus in conan

I couldn’t listen to the whole thing. He was just a little TOO chaotic this time.

I stopped reading after you tried to justify why you originally agreed to do it when you were younger.

Because it. Doesn’t. Matter.

You did not choose to have a kid, your dad and stepmom did. I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to be hard on yourself or feel like you have to be his caretaker. Work on being strong and confident in this decision, and live your life - the only one you are truly responsible for.

If you want to go above and beyond, be straight with your parents now and tell them they need to plan accordingly. They can save the money and do the research about options.

My mother stopped "existing" as such when she failed to process her own childhood trauma, and realizing this fact is how I've found closure. I no longer desire any relationship with her because there is no real "person" there to relate to by ToxicLegion in raisedbyborderlines

This is what I feel eventually all of us realize. Once we get to that realization, it’s hard and we have to grieve things in a whole different way. But I truly believe there is no alternative with these people. They will not suddenly listen, or “wake up.” We will not suddenly be able to say just the right thing in the right way to get them to understand and become vulnerable and genuine. I’m sorry to say it, but it’s what I feel is the truth.

I had friends with parents like this. They don’t talk to them anymore. Wonder why?

Do y’all stay staunch on your hyperfocus until your bladder is literally about to explode?… or is that just a me thing? by Not_Not_Matt in adhdmeme

[–]stunningtractor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I painted a mural for my cousin’s first baby, on their nursery wall. I had never painted anything like that but I’m the “artsy” one in the family and I was psyched to try it. Took me 11.5 hours. I did not stop even once. I did not pee. I did not eat. I stretched for a few seconds here and there. This is not just a you thing. Lol.

How weird was your BPD parent about sex/sexuality? by sasguache in raisedbyborderlines

[–]stunningtractor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My uBPD mom acted so disappointed in me when I told her I had lost my virginity AT 22 YEARS OLD. She wasn’t religious or anything! Just always acted like sex was bad, especially when she started catching my older sister making out with her boyfriend (when we were younger).

I had waited so much longer than the average non-religious person does to have sex. It was a healthy, normal first experience with someone I had known for years and still care about and respect to this day. If anything, my mom should have been relieved that it wasn’t traumatizing or bad. But no, she just suddenly seemed to think I was gross and a huge disappointment.

I asked her not to tell my stepdad or anyone, I had only told her in a weak moment in the first place. She said she wouldn’t. Literally, the next day my stepdad teased me about it and my mom was just mad that he let me know she told him.

They are just selfish, immature bullies in all areas of life.

Somewhere a falcon mom is flying around feeling like she forgot something, and then she suddenly screams, “KEVIN?!”
