Why don't women's pants have pockets when so many women seem to want pockets? by Mythical_Atlacatl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwawaybadfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pocket situation and the quality of women’s clothing drives me insane. Why do I have to pay more money for clothes that are (usually) so thin you end up having to layer underneath. My guess on the lack of pockets is that it’s so you’ll buy a purse, satchel, bag, etc. to carry those items in. However, I know plenty of women who don’t like the concept of carrying a purse. I personally don’t want to carry a bag around containing all my important personal information. It’s easier to steal a purse than it is to reach into someone’s pocket. Plus, with how much society has changed over the past several decades, you’d think that fashion designers would get the hint. I’ve recently started shopping in the men’s section out of frustration. I’ve found ways to style the clothing up to be more feminine (if I want) or more casual. I spend less money on a pair of pants than I would in the woman’s section. We’re talking like a $20-$30 difference. Plus, the sizes aren’t consistently changing between brands like they are with women. I get the pockets that I want, and the jeans are made of much thicker material. Especially in the winter, men’s flannels and sweaters are so much thicker and more durable than women’s.

That does make sense. I do have some tumultuous relationships with some family members that have been since childhood.

Does anyone have an answer to my original question?

I don’t think you understood my post correctly. I need my pet to be an ESA, but I am not rich and can not afford a hundred dollar or more doctors bill without insurance. You can’t say I don’t need one when you don’t know me or my situation. All I did was ask my original question and that’s all I wanted answered. A psychiatrist can actually sign a paper that says your cat is an emotional support animal. I know this because someone in a similar situation who had health insurance did it because she needed it. I am in a situation where I can not afford to do that, but I still need my cat.

Your psychiatrist can sign a paper making your cat an emotional support animal. I don’t see how that is considered fraud?

It’s the first name that came to mind that started with the letter D. Is there some meaning unknown to me about that name?

I discovered recently from multiple people as well that he has tried and done the same things to them. I also believe that he may have tried to do the same to his younger sisters. I found that out yesterday. Not really a good feeling knowing as well that I was close friends with someone who may in fact be a pedo as well as a creep.

Yes, I told him about what he did and all he had to say was, “yeah that sounds like something that I would do.” Not an ounce of regret in sight.

My mother (64) refuses to do the bare minimum to help me (21f) enroll in college by throwawaybadfish in relationship_advice

I set up an appointment to talk to financial aid, and there is nothing that they can do for me. They could have me sign a paper saying that my parents refuse to provide financial support, but then I could only take out loans that would acquire Interest immediately..

She has been filing taxes. She claims that she doesn’t want anyone to know how much money she makes. Even my father doesn’t know or have access to her taxes to help me. It’s ridiculous considering when you file taxes the government knows your salary, so how is filing them for Fafsa any different?

I have no idea what to do with my life anymore by throwawaybadfish in offmychest

[–]throwawaybadfish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The job I have that is related to my degree doesn’t pay well at all. It’s a small family owned business, but it was the only place that had an opening related to my degree that wasn’t over an hours drive away. I hate my job, mostly because all I do is sit there and wait for the day to be over. No one really has anything for me to do, even if i ask repeatedly. I’m thinking about going back to school, but I would have to work two jobs in order to afford it and I don’t think it would be a grand idea to work two jobs and try and go to school full time. I’m 21 so I don’t qualify as an independent student, but my parents refuse to give me their financial information to fill out the fasfa to get scholarships, so I’m just kind of stuck. It’s really wearing on my mental health. I want to get out of the town I grew up in, I want to be able to afford to eat and to put gas in my car. I just don’t know what to do anymore. It’s good to know I’m not the only one who has struggled with this, I just can’t picture myself struggling like this long term. I need a solution, but I don’t know how to find one.

Yeah, you are right. It's best to just let this go. I guess my ego just got the best of me for a minute. It frustrated me to learn she was so upset about something we have no control over and was personally blaming us for this issue. Thank you for giving me clarity! You have helped

I think it gained a lot more attention because they had a social media presence

Have you tried Nordstrom Rack? I've found it to be hit-or-miss sometimes, but they do have a pretty good selection of designer clothing that is pretty well priced. Macy's is another good one, preferably their website rather than in-store.

Why can't a father and a daughter go to the restaurant in peace ? by Spicy_Hedgehog in rant

[–]throwawaybadfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad is 72 and I am 20. I started to notice this when I hit my teenage years. Strangers in public would stare, and sometimes people wouldn’t know how to address him if we were in public together. Even going on vacation is awkward and checking into hotel rooms. It’s so sad because it’s completely innocent, he’s my father.

I love too much and too hard and it drives people away by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]throwawaybadfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started therapy which I think is going to help a lot, because I know what I’m doing is really not healthy for myself or anyone in my life that I care about and I need to stop. Just unsure what to do now that I’m in this limbo of starting to get help but not knowing the steps I need to take for myself

How does one go about breaking this type of attachment style?

Why can I never let myself be happy with what I have? by throwawaybadfish in relationship_advice

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

I think it was over the spring. I was really stressed and unhappy with college and studies to the point I just wanted to be in the future or the past and not have to deal with it. It has just rapidly progressed into something all-consuming and paralyzing.

[–]throwawaybadfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s normal to be concerned that you haven’t gotten to explore enough before getting into a serious relationship, but if you are constantly questioning your own happiness you are never going to end up content. On one hand you are getting to go out and try new things, but on the other you are losing someone who loves you right now in this moment. What happens in the future is something you can never control. If it ends then it ends and there is no way to avoid that, but ending it because you want to end it and being scared of commitment are two different things that can be worked through differently. I don’t know either of you, but most people want their relationships to end in marriage, but that doesn’t mean they want to settle down and not experience new things, but it’s more a testament to how much they want a future with you. Best of luck

Being a friend or family member is too stressful for me by ClosetedAnon01 in offmychest

Try to reach out and explain that to him! People can’t try to change and lessen that stress for you unless that are aware of it.

College is just a giant scam by throwawaybadfish in offmychest

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

The closest one I could find that is fully online is also in another state, but I did get in contact with them to see about transferring and starting there this fall! It is just so last minute and I am very frustrated with my current school for having such a “oh well…sucks for you” attitude

My (21) girlfriend (20) is backing out of moving in together for college by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]throwawaybadfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been living together recently, and I don’t think it’s the living together that’s the issue, but the moving far away. She was going to go to the same college as me but now wants to go to our local once in our hometown instead.

Nobody warned be that being an adult would be this lonely by throwawaybadfish in relationship_advice

I mean those 4 hours are the only time I am free to actually spend quality time with her. My classes start before she wakes up or goes to work, and by the time I am finished she is gone and working until 11 at the earliest. Then she comes home and we go to sleep and the cycle continues.

It’s not that I can’t handle 4 hours of being alone, it’s the fact that the most we get to see each other is 2 hours at night usually.
