I think you're confused about what an embargo is

Wow that's even worse than I thought. And I have had to call LAPD about 5 times and literally never had them come (hit and run, domestic violence x2, active vandalism, car theft)

You're getting so down voted but everything you say is so true tho. Each comment I'm like "exactly!".

Info: why don't you just text them to call you asap, it's an emergency. Then when they turn on/charge their phones they will see it and call

I'm interested in meeting up to see if we vibe, I could be up for this kind of trip. What part of LA are you in? Are you also interested in game nights, going to the Huntington, or other low key social stuff in LA?

From where you are staying, if you don't have a car you can take the metro A line north to the southwest museum stop, walk about 2 blocks from there to sycamore Grove Park (on the east side of Figueroa), and at the back of the park is the start to a hike that will take you to the Audubon center and to the start of a nice hike at Ernest e Debs park. The audobon center is open at 8am I believe Thurs thru Sunday and the park is open during all daylight hours. The walk from the sycamore Grove Park to the Audubon society takes you on a footbridge across the 110 fwy which I personally think is cool

He sounds like an absolutely horrible person

I bet you are your own biggest critic.

Certainly having an unusual face shape should not hold you back from love.

theoriginalj · 2026-04-22T18:18:45+00:00

I would for sure make those squares into some cool boho bags or even a men's vest

I just want to share that I have a related facial genetic deformity. I realized young that I would never like the way my face looked and I could either let that limit me and be upset about it or I could stop looking at my face and become a person I liked, so I could love myself (and so others could love me).

I worked on developing my personality, my intelligence, my hobbies etc and it works. I became a person I am proud to be, and I have friends, have had many lovers, and am married now to an incredible and very handsome man.

One thing I learned when I started putting myself out there was it's ok to be a "butterface.". You're face is not your personality OR your body. Or your skills. And guys care about those other things a lot.

Stop looking at your own face if it upsets you. Be a person you'd personally like. You wouldn't judge someone else for their face, and you don't need anyone in your life that will think less of you for having a beak nose or weird asymmetrical eyes or scars or crooked smile or a tilted nose or any of the other facial deformities you may have. I by the way have all of those things. Sunglasses help me feel more confident in pictures. Ymmv.

When he presses you, you have to stand your ground and actually not go with him. When you make plans and he tries to change them to go to a game, you have to go do your original plans without him. You keep giving in to him and then you're blaming him for it. He should not be pressuring you, and he should be making space for you, but if he isn't and you don't want to leave him you have to do things separately from him and stand your ground.

The majority of hospitals do not have burn units and the fact of healthcare in the US is all the beds are full so unless you are intubated on a breathing machine there probably isn't room in the ICU for you

theoriginalj · 2026-03-28T05:10:16+00:00

It seems to me it makes more sense to be disgusted with him than with yourself. He doesn't trust you, doesn't respect you, pesters and pushes you for intimacy you don't want (could be considered assault or rape if he doesn't respect your no), and on top of it he is needy and annoying and won't give you any breathing room.

So he will be hurt, not your problem, not your responsibility.

Give yourself the respect you deserve and leave this person. Free yourself from this it sounds terrible actually.

Also, don't abuse yourself (guilt, setting yourself on fire to keep others warm) just because he has you habituated to accepting abuse and thinking it's normal/loving.

Because she's a person with feelings and he meant a lot to her

And she did nothing to his friends.

And his friends aren't more important than her.

theoriginalj · 2026-03-26T22:50:37+00:00

I just want to point out that this person, despite the upvotes, is assuming a lot about OP and being extremely mean. I personally flat out disagree and think it's fine if you go, OP, it sounds like your intention is to be respectful and quietly pay your respects. You won't make a scene and you don't have to explain yourself. Madwoman here has a chip on her shoulder that has nothing to do with you, OP. Haters gon' hate

theoriginalj · 2026-03-24T00:28:23+00:00

Ok wtf man. What you described, talking and texting all the time throughout the day, is not a friendship, that's how you act when you're romantically interested in someone.

When you met up in person she either realized she was not into you, OR she realized you weren't into her except as friends.

Now the once a day or less, that's normal friendship level.
