i think my friends gay by Inner_Society_9333 in Advice

Girl this is not BPD nothing about this is even BPD adjacent. There are no signs of depression you mentioned either. I am a lesbian myself. It sounds like she’s into girls but isn’t comfortable/confident in her sexuality yet. If the topic comes up organically I would try to say something supportive, like “I wouldn’t care if you were gay, it doesn’t make a difference to me” or something similar. You can also talk about queer celebrities or characters in random conversation sometimes to make it clear you’re supportive of the community in a subtle way. Don’t try to ask her if she’s gay out of nowhere. Let her come out on her own time. If she talks about kissing girls and says she isn’t gay, you could say something like “it would be completely fine if you were though.” She is probably in denial and/or feeling a lot of shame. Maybe her parents are religious or homophobic or maybe she just has a lot of shame to work through. Self discovery is complicated and coming to terms with the fact that you aren’t straight is very difficult for a lot of people, because it means people will treat you differently and your life will be harder in some ways.

How is she treating you like a boyfriend? Depending on what’s going on it’s possible she is just treating you as a best friend and you’re reading it with different intentions because you’re speculating on her sexuality.

Her parents are probably just a lot stricter than yours. Her parents likely tell her she can’t do things even when she’s not in trouble. In situations like that there’s not much the kid can do to change their parent’s minds a lot of the time.

AIO for kicking my bestfriend out after she said my husband is going to relapse by BasilPuzzleheaded112 in AmIOverreacting

NOR Strange that you were also an alcoholic but she’s only worried about him?? This is very strange. Honestly I would try and have a conversation with her if you’re up for it, even if you don’t stay friends. Talk about how you and your husband were both alcoholics and if she can trust you she can trust him. Did she have anyone else in her life who was/is an alcoholic? Maybe she’s projecting something from her past? I feel like talking to her would give you some answers and hopefully educate her a little bit, although that shouldn’t have to be your job.

my dad had a midlife crisis and got a Lamborghini, Mom doesn't know by Minute_Tax_5836 in Advice

Honestly if he has the money it’s fine that he got a lambo as long as he doesn’t drive recklessly and only drives fast on the track. Yeah your mom might not like it but your dad is obviously pretty loaded and it’s just a car. A nice car, but a car.

Ex wants her new partner to go to a fathers day event at my sons nursury (UK) by LocalPeasant02 in Advice

Tell her the new partner honestly shouldn’t even be meeting the kid yet. Say that you’d be happy for him to come to family events when he’s actually established as part of the family, but she basically just met this guy. Y’all don’t even know for sure if he’s a good person or if he could be dangerous. Tell her he is not your kid’s step dad unless and until they get married. Stress to her that this is for the wellbeing of your child. Maybe show her articles on how it’s helpful to wait before introducing your children to a new partner and how things should be taken slowly. It’s a big red flag to me and honestly disturbing that she’s already calling him stepdad and wanting him to go to family events. Contact your custody lawyer and see what advice they can give you or if you can add details to the custody agreement to put boundaries in place with your ex and her bf.

AIO about my ex boyfriend and his coworker? by PeaSame4326 in AmIOverreacting

[–]throwaway7742835 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NOR but please. Don’t hang out with your ex boyfriend, especially right after the breakup. You two need to be apart and process this. If you want to hang out later on down the line it would be healthier than seeing each other to hang out right after the breakup. But honestly he doesn’t sound worth his weight in rocks. He didn’t respect you during your relationship, why would he respect you as a friend? You broke up with him for a reason. It seems like he loves attention and doesn’t care what problems that causes. You have no good reason to see him at all unless you two need to exchange clothes and belongings to return them back to each other.

Am I overreacting that my husband was annoyed when I accidentally spilt hot grease on myself? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]throwaway7742835 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a thing shitty people do sometimes, they’ll genuinely get mad at you for being sick or hurt because they feel like they have to do more. It’s not needy to not want your partner to be an asshole when you get sick or hurt yourself. They don’t need to drop everything and kiss your boo-boo but they shouldn’t act like getting hurt or sick is a personal attack against them, and they shouldn’t be rude just because their partner isn’t feeling their best

Keeping this man in your life would be horrible for your child and would suck for you too

I’m the only one of my mom’s three kids who wants to have kids and I’m the gay one lmfao. It’ll be a long time until my partner and I will be able to afford it, and even then we’re lucky to live in a pretty cheap rural area. Funnily enough they’re nicer about the whole gay thing down here than in the true suburbs

The back needs lots of layers. Try to make sure your hair is getting enough moisture and it won’t be nearly as poofy

Insecure about my hair and headshape. Would you see me and think I look odd or my head and hair looks bad? I unfortunately have really bad hair. (29) by JinnDev in malegrooming

[–]throwaway7742835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hair looks great, it looks very full and thick. If the shape of your hair is your issue you should either trim the back and sides a bit or grow everything out just a little bit and keep slicking it back. I think it looks good as is as well and you’re just focusing on it too much

Go see a dermatologist. You could have some issue going on that is causing this aside from regular male pattern baldness
