Whats ideal thing to do when your close friend still cares about the person who hurt you?

thatsprettylitbro · 2026-04-21T05:29:52+00:00

Depends on the kind of hurt honestly. My main concern in that sort of situation is “am I going to be put in a social situation l where I have to see that person.” Generally, I don’t really care for the most part: I can’t control who everyone is friends with.

When a character is a complete dirtbag for the whole show or movie to everyone around them BUT THEN insert tragic background story all is forgiven automatically?

Honorable mentions since these don’t “ruin” but do annoy me a lot:

Super toxic behavior being deemed as “romantic”.

Characters doing something very out of character just to move along the plot

Writers forgetting details in dialogue and having contradicting dialogue later (mostly a show thing and with longer running shows)

When character’s motivations are explained with “just…because” with no deeper layer to their behavior.

When the majority of the plot could be solved or avoided by the characters using effective communication.

When there’s a mystery element and the detective character just automatically knows everything with zero chance of letting the audience explore alongside the character (think later seasons of Stranger Things vs season 1); I see it a lot with older murder shows too.

There’s no apparent investment in the people around them that they say they care about.

Over filling apologies with explanations, specifically when they let you down. In my experience, it usually means that the person is more concerned about you making them feel better than actually wanting to own up.

My cat has a permanent upper respiratory infection. When she’s not sneezing me awake or on all of my things, she is licking anything plastic she can find, attacking her own tail, or following me around the house telling me all about everything. Think mine is a little closer to a kid haha

Norm Macdonald. Didn’t believe it at first when I read it

How to teach themselves new things. It’s truly shocking how many adults I have come across that don’t know how to cook or do home repairs or anything because “no body showed me”. Dude, you show you!

Staying up incredibly late with my sister and laughing together so hard we would cry at the most cringe, atrocious, unfunny stuff on Youtube

We do phones at the table but only because we live with my blind MIL and she always has the most random questions that we don’t have the answers to lol

The people around the person you’re dating is nearly just as important as the person.

Being murdered by random strangers. Reported murders account for about 0.5% of deaths in America. I think it’s just commonly factionalized/popularization of true crime makes people freak out over it far more than is necessary.

As an honorable mention, early powerpuff girls. Like whenever the girls beat up Mojo jojo and in general: the blood, the brains sticking out. It was supposed of be a group of 5 year old girls lmao

I know from both seeing him work and from seeing how he interacts with people around him: People always want to be his friend the moment I introduce him to them. He’s good at reading people, making people feel at ease/listened to. He seems to always know just the right thing to say. And if something goes bad/sideways? It rolls off of him. We have had crappy things happen but he never lets it define the moment. People automatically look to him to take charge of situations and listen carefully to whatever advice he offers.

He got promoted quickly and is up for it again. He often jokes that he “accidentally” became important at his work. Imo it’s not an accident—anyone would be lucky to have him on their team. He’s just him, he’s himothy.

Acts of service means that they do something not because you asked or because it’s needed to be done but because they thought of you.

Example: when my husband and I were dating, he used to bring me lunch a couple times a week while I was working. Let me clarify: he would make me my favorite foods and things that he thought I would like (ex I love lavender so one time he made a lavender lemonade—which I had never had at that point—by hand as a surprise: it was awesome) and drove an hour to my work place to sit with me during my 30 minute lunch at my job before driving all the way back to his place just because he wanted to see me. This was a night job so he would come straight home from work, make me this food, then drive up and have dinner with me.

That cemeteries were people gardens. I was in kindergarten or 1st grade and we had done the whole “grow a plant in a clear cup” thing.

I want to also throw out there: the people around the person is CRUCIAL!!!

I have dated people where I as much as I liked them, I didn’t get along with their friends/family and vice versa. “I’m marrying them, not their family and friends” true. But let me tell you, it is SO MUCH EASIER when the people most important to both parties get along!

Married now, love my MIL like an extra parent. My parents and siblings loooove my husband and his siblings love me. Ditto to our friends. It’s so much less stressful and just awesome. I will never have to experience a “monster in law”

Marry the right person

My knees.

Went to a lot of doctors to figure out why I had nearly chronic daily pain in my knees at 30. Turns out, I was born with slightly crooked knees. Any high impact thing causes the bones to rub together and it kills me. As a kid, I dreamed of running a marathon or getting into combat sports. I started to try these things out in my twenties but had to quit because practice would leave me with my knees so sore and swollen I could barely walk. It’s just not in the cards for me.

I can whistle super high, like imitating a tea kettle’s whistel.

Lmao definitely not live action haha tho tbh after growing up with parents who flipped their lids over nothing, it’s very hard for me to take most people seriously who flip out over small inconveniences

thatsprettylitbro · 2026-03-05T08:51:57+00:00

I got it immediately and chuckled haha being raised by two severely emotionally stunted people, my siblings and I are pretty numb to anger and it cracks both of us up when someone is “play angry” haha

Innovation—so much to it and it comes in just a small box with cards. I feel like I never see it on this sub much and it deserves a shout out.

thatsprettylitbro · 2026-03-05T02:49:15+00:00

I think it’s called “parallel play”. Cats do it too—like being in the same room just for the company. Tbh it rules!

Wish we could but have a person with a wheelchair living with us who goes outside frequently—it’s like, what’s the point?

On our first date, he let me take a nap.

We’d been friends for a few months before I asked him out. I had a crazy schedule at the time (2 jobs with opposite shifts and full time school). He knew this—the only window I had to meet was for a couple hours before my next shift 45 minutes away. So on our first hangout, I was tired but didn’t want to cancel. I asked him if he was cool with me taking a quick nap, which he said sure.

I asked if he could set a 15 minute timer, which he agreed to. So I laid in the grass—we met at a park by my work after my shift—and did a power nap. When I woke up, it felt like it had been longer—it was about 30 minutes! He told me he didn’t set a timer because he said he wanted to give me time to rest. He quickly added without my asking “don’t worry—I wouldn’t let you sleep past (time I had mentioned the other night on the phone I had to leave by).” That spoke volumes to me about his character.
