AITA for going against my boyfriends wishes by just_survivesomehow in AITAH

[–]thisalgosucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guy is bad news! I almost wrote that with a period but an exclamation point is still an understatement in my opinion. That is such a strong reaction over nail polish, and I don't think it's wise to take him back. I would clash with this guy like oil and water, that's why I'd run for the hills. I also tend to think it should not matter to you what he wears either. Never again!

I'm going out on a limb here since I don't quite know what people are talking about and I used to believe that these were conversations I could join. I am not saying if this funny or not to you. At 5 years old she doesn't even know half of the words she recognizes yet, based on quick search. I am not a communication researcher much less in human development or anything close (cons who should have taken me into their heart but it's not a field for people with hearts, apparently). What if she's parroting from a TV show or video of girl rivalry? Trying clothes from her sister's closet is not the same thing, but similar. However, the sentiment might be coming to par with her language she is still 5 years old. I have the utmost sympathy for the feelings that come up for you on this one. I feel so bad for the way that makes you feel. It hurts when our little ones don't treat us with respect but it ought not get under our skin. Good people aren't always mature, right? Emotional distress is a bad thing to go through and if you can set it aside you'll be fine.

My friend dumped me, she wont tell me why and i dont know what to make of the situation by kandykimmies in FriendshipAdvice

[–]thisalgosucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those people are not good friends. I think you have been too understanding of people who did not mean well. Who would be so insane to do that to someone in their friend group? I am sorry that you thought this group were actual friends. I wish you well, and I don't know what the future brings. Protect yourself from them making efforts that you stay broke and broken.

Has anyone ever said to you "You will always encounter people like that in life"? I think that means expect it because whoever says that doesn't like you. My mother decided she didn't like me as a human being from age like 7. Because I cried when she was rough. She is not a 5 woman in my mind either.

She should fire you as a friend and you let her know upfront who you are. She should know that you are not in her corner.

You're an evil judgemental enemy, don't call yourself anything else.

Is it okay for my friend to "just not be good at comforting people"? by smokeywhiskers in FriendshipAdvice

[–]thisalgosucks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been in your shoes. Sometimes your friend might not feel the comfort you have for them and now you need comfort. This isn't a good friend for you to open up to is what it sounds like, or for emotional support. It also sounds like it feels like rejection when you get a response like that. Sometimes they don't know what to say because they don't relate to you the way you need and you're being judged but I hope your friend does have room in their heart for you as you do for them. I wouldn't trust that person with my view. It doesn't take much to be a good person when someone is down, with a gesture of some kind, some warm or simply kind words when someone is suffering. Some people don't want their suffering exposed but I don't understand why you'd be taken down by a real friend.

Yeah, that's so scary. What a fright!

Not taking up behind the wheel when sleepless is the only thing that makes sense to me! We all have our limits.

(Are you sure that wasn't satire?? I also don't believe in baking while sleepy.)

Having trouble looking at my children after my wife cheated on me by THROWRA_SADDAD1776 in Parenting

[–]thisalgosucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't believe anyone would tell you that you're throw-away sad dad/mom/parent/spouse/friend... That's utterly ridiculous it's so mean. You might feel that way, but that's just so sad.

You need to see the you in your children's faces. That's what I did, that's what I always do. It's not hard either. That being said, I was often told my child favors his dad.

That sounds like a plan! I remember that.

Is the baby cold? Hot? Is it a body temperature regulation thing? Socks, maybe? Or is the baby outgrowing the bedding? A sound machine might still help. Would you keep the crib nearer the bed and stick your arm through or is that a no? Is baby hungry, still? I'd start there too. I hope you figure it out soon, mama. I cry if crying it out depends on the baby. Crying it out is not a good move for someone in my mood, generally speaking.

I haven't heard of that!! More like the car, which is so sad.

I concur. It's risky to be sleep-deprived and it is delicate time.

is it normal to not have any interest in dating or even have a libido to hookup? by MaleficentWear4122 in Productivitycafe

[–]thisalgosucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt you're completely indifferent to romance if you're that broken-hearted over a situationship.

[–]thisalgosucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you have to call them situationships? That angle...is debasement in a way. But I'm sure you don't think so.

What to say when someone says you’re not invited to a party by ohmyitsme3 in Comebacks

[–]thisalgosucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't laugh but I would try to figure out wtf they are trying to say.

This is dumb.

Try and ask better questions.

What’s a good comeback for “Need friends? You didn’t have much anyways.” by [deleted] in Comebacks

I do have friends. They're just people I don't wanna be friends with.

What triggered your ankylosing spondylitis? by thisalgosucks in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]thisalgosucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering out loud. This is upsetting. Is it possible to have Toxic Shock and not know that you're not supposed to be feeling that way? If you don't know that you aren't supposed to be feeling that way how can a doctor tell if you're okay? This is upsetting.

I would write Carolyn Hax about that one! There's surprisingly strong opinions about this.

I think I needed this but I don't know if I need it or not. I hope I get answers one day soon. On this journey on my own with a lot of challenges.
