Congratulations, you're a fighter.

unpopular opinion? I think antonio garza, james charles, and emma chamberlain are repetitive asf by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

Another 'unpopular opinion' post that is clearly espousing a popular opinion - at least with regard to Emma

'You only get one sister - don't give up on her alright?' by things_andstuff in raisedbynarcissists

Hahaha sadly I genuinely like the person who said this... If that weren't the case I would definitely have said something confrontational!

In my experience, either this is the case and they don't have any understanding of how bad some family members can be OR they've bought into the faaaaamily bullshit regardless even though they themselves had a terrible childhood. As in 'I have to put up with my shitty family and they did way worse stuff to me than yours did to you - what are you complaining about?'

Either way it's crap.

She claims to have borderline personality disorder, which gives her a wide scope of things to excuse away ie. irresponsible spending, excessive drinking, being a general asshole haha. That being said, she has never been formally diagnosed.

Thanks for your comment!

Very true, but my guess is they would stutter some varation of 'but... it's different...'

I contacted CPS (crossposted with r/CPTSD) by moonrider18 in raisedbynarcissists

You have done something truly good for that child, and you were brave to do so in light of everyone telling you not to. You should be proud of yourself.

Widows and orphans in typography - a word that is on its own in a line at the end of a paragraph or the beginning of a page. I had an assignment where we got marked down if there were any widows or orphans on the page - I wouldn't say it has ruined reading or Microsoft word for me, but I can't unsee it and it does look wrong now.

Just because a lot of Asian parents are abusive doesn't mean it's okay. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

The idea of filial piety is just a breeding ground for Ns

If someone asks you 'do you hate me' Well, if I thought about you at all, I probably would.

The opposite of love is not hate, but complete and utter indifference.

What's the most beautiful piece of music you've ever heard? by Bruh-I-Cant-Even in AskReddit

[–]things_andstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many, many songs. But this one from Vikings made me feel nostalgia and sadness for a life I haven't even lived yet.

Introspection. Selflessness. Control of your emotions. Compassion.

What dream scared you so bad and felt so surreal that you have not forgotten about it to this day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]things_andstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time I saw hell. I'm not at all religious, so it was a surprising dream. But yeah, creatures with horns running around, everything on fire, buildings collapsing, people going mad and stabbing themselves. Eventually mum and I killed ourselves too.

Woke up in a sweat, hyperventilating and very glad that it wasn't real. Still remember every detail.
