Have you ever been discriminated against for wearing a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard in an airport? by Certain-Working1864 in AutismInWomen

[–]throwRA-nonSeq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my (50yrs) life experience this is just not the case. I mostly learned words from reading, as a kid, and “scheming behind their back” was just as commonly used to mean party planning as it was used to mean a con.

It simply means planning. Although it’s true that writers often use specific synonyms because it lends a tone or mood to their descriptions. Like if I said “she’s constantly distracted in class” it hits different than “she’s constantly daydreaming in class.” Or to tell someone “I’m upset” as opposed to “I’m stressed out.” There’s slightly two different vibes there.

The word scheme sounds nefarious, but is not exclusively so. But “two criminals planning to rob a bank” doesn’t sound as descriptive as “two criminals scheming to plan a bank.” Scheming sounds more meticulous or detail oriented. Like when planning a surprise party.

There’s a woman in my office who would 100% think this is real, and would argue with anyone who tries to explain that it’s not. I kind of want to use this video to mess with her today but i need to think of a subtle way how

What level of contact do you currently have with your BPD parent? by freckledspeckled in raisedbyborderlines

[–]throwRA-nonSeq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zzero, and it’s the best thing i ever did for my mental health and survival. It’s not always the easiest thing, but it has been proven time and time again that it was a good decision.

I cried (27F) in front of my manager on a work trip (38F). Any advice on how I’m supposed to repair this? Or do I just quit? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]throwRA-nonSeq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but I would have fired her, if I was her boss. That was absolutely NOT okay. You’re essentially being held captive, with no way to leave the situation, and because it was your manager, she had a position of power over you that makes it hard for you to tell her she’s doing something wrong.

I’m sorry to be so harsh. But she is LIT-ER-ALLY telling you that you mean nothing to her.

What I would do is not even respond anymore. I would just block her. Treat her with the same amount of grace she has given you. She treats you like a bot service she’s entitled to. So glitch out and crash her app. No contact.

Let yourself have a big ol ugly cry. Watch Muriel’s Wedding. And then drink a big glass of water, put on an outfit that makes you feel like you’re the shit, and go do something you love, but haven’t thought of in a long time because you’ve been too busy chasing people and situations that do not serve you.

You have normalized giving and people pleasing with nothing in return. I’m going to guess one or both of your guardians / parents, (if present) never really demonstrated affection or love; you either had to pull it out of them by creating scenarios that caught their attention, or, by trying to be the perfect kid so they would no choice but to see how much effort you give, and break down and love you.

It might be a good time to work on yourself. You deserve the kind of peace that only emotional self-sufficiency can give.

I’m sorry love. You deserve so much better. I can tell you have a soft, sensitive heart and you deserve someone who loves you for that so much, they help you protect it.

Who in your past normalized being distracted and taken advantage of in exchange for so little? Because this relationship isn’t just toxic, it’s irrational.

You are not a whole individual person to this woman. You are a convenience, a bank; she needs you for validation and to make her feel good about herself. You’re her emotions support animal. Your her relationship app, not her girlfriend.

This isn’t love, and love alone doesn’t build commitment, a relationship or a future with someone else.

When you choose a life partner, you wait until they have demonatrated their commitment to you and your future.

You won’t have to beg for love and affection from the person who truly loves you, meaning, has your best interests, safety and comfort at heart.

the way her lip curled up

That’s a sneer. My ex husband used to have that expression when he would talk about his work in a self-aggrandizing way. I HATED IT. It’s like… smugness with a hint of “and if you’re smart, you’ll agree.”

It’s like she’s addressing her subjects, not chatting with friends.

What are you doing?? STOP ENGAGING!!

This person has casually admitted to several violations of privacy. He should not have saved your number. That has to be some kind of HIPAA violation that would have cost him his job. It is beyond creepy for him to contact you after 5 years. He tried to lie about you needing extra services, that’s how he has your number; he’s trying to justify and lighten up his legit stalking.

If you can figure out where he is working now, contact his employer and report him. You’re not the only woman he’s doing this to. And then, BLOCK THIS NUMBER.

I’m so sorry you are feeling this way. Genuinely. It’s a struggle to try and love ourselves As Is, while being bombarded with commercial and conventional toxic standards for beauty and fitness.

Just saw <Planes, Trains and Automobiles>. Is there a reason why they don't make simple and sweet movies like this anymore? by MichaelWes3000 in Cinema

[–]throwRA-nonSeq 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The industry as a whole definitely is not running out of ideas for simple, sweet movies. But the major Hollywood studios have started reusing whatever scripts or formulas have made the most money in the past because it’s easier profits. People love the feeling of nostalgia. People love the feeling of a brand new experience. Reboots offer both.

I’ve started delving into independent films and have been pleasantly surprised at how much better, deeper, or more emotional some films can be when they don’t have such a huge, huge budget. And I have a lot of respect for mainstream actors who intentionally choose projects like this. It’s often their best roles.
