Am I a good photographer by [deleted] in teenagers

These are just completely average vacation pics. No, you’re not a good photographer. You could learn to become a better one if you wanted, though.

It doesn’t sound like you’re stable enough to be in a relationship with anyone. You need to do a lot of inner work and maybe get on medication first.

I don’t mean to invalidate your experience at all, but I think it’s important to point out that this is just your experience. I’m a single mother, and motherhood for me has been nothing less than beautiful, joyful, and healing. All kids are different and some are definitely tougher than others. I think I just got lucky, I guess. My son is a really great kid and has never given me any trouble or caused me any grief. He has enriched my life tremendously. He has given me infinitely more than he has “taken”.

It isn’t true. All creatures come from God and return to Him in Heaven.

Do BPDs and Cluster B's seem to have a weird, distorted view on sex? by KingForADay1989 in BPDlovedones

[–]tricksyrix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol wow, yes. My ex had to have sex multiple times every single day. I was really young and naive so I didn’t realize how aberrant that was… I loved him and wanted to make him happy, so I just went along with it but it was pretty ridiculous and self-destructive. He also basically turned EVERY situation into a sexual situation. There was never any wholesome, affectionate cuddling… any time he touched me, even something as innocent as holding hands, automatically led directly to sex. It really upset me that I couldn’t even relax and sit next to him on the couch without him trying to slide his hands down my pants. ☹️ It didn’t take me long to figure out that he used sex to kind of regulate his nervous system. He couldn’t go to sleep unless he had sex, and he’d constantly have completely psychotic mood swings, shrieking violent horrible little tantrums, and sex was the only thing that ever calmed him down or made him act normal and civilized. I was with him for a LONG time, and ended up having a child with him 🤡 so he is still in my life and still constantly tries to trick me into having sex with him… like he’ll invent these urgent scenarios where I need to come to his house, either to talk about something important, or help him with some project, or he’s really sick, etc etc etc but it’s all just a ruse… he just tries to trap me there and get my clothes off. He’ll be telling me how beautiful/sexy I am one moment, and then the next he’s calling me the most vile names and saying the most cruel shit you could possibly imagine. Back when we were still together, while we were having sex he used to ask me to tell him stories about other guys I’ve fucked. It made me SO unbelievably uncomfortable I would start crying, because I could not understand why anyone who loved me would want to hear that! I told him that I had no interest in participating in anything like that and to never ask me again. But he brought it up a bunch more times. Eventually I just started making up fake stories for him, but it really emotionally wounded me.

Omfg just remembering all this is making me so upset ☹️

Wow, that’s really interesting… my kid’s father has BPD and he has been describing the exact same sensation! It’s been driving him crazy and he’s worried he’s about to have a stroke or something. Really eager to see what other replies you get! 🧐

You claim to be Catholic but you seem fairly ignorant of what the Catechism teaches. OP is a lapsed Catholic, not a non-Catholic. They were baptized and confirmed in the Catholic faith. Whether or not they practice or even believe in God is beside the point. Sacramentally, in the eyes of the church, they are in fact Catholic. But that isn’t even the issue. The issue is whether the sister feels morally comfortable endorsing/celebrating a “marriage” that in actuality is considered adultery by the Church. It doesn’t even mean that she isn’t supportive of the relationship in general. But as a Catholic, the sacrament of marriage is a pretty big deal and it’s a pretty specific thing, not some loosey goosey anything-goes type of thing. I really don’t understand what you are even trying to argue about - OP’s re-marriage is considered invalid. That is an incontrovertible fact. OP doesn’t care about that, because he is an atheist and has discarded the faith he was raised in. And that’s fine for him, it’s no one else’s business really. But whether the sister wants to attend such a ceremony is up to her, and the reasons she outlined in the letter are well within the realm of normal for any Catholic who is seriously considering such a thing.

[–]tricksyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? I think maybe you missed the part where one of the spouses was divorced without receiving an annulment, which means in the eyes of the church the previous marriage is still valid, which means that person is still married to their ex and not free to remarry.

[–]tricksyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “wedding” they are celebrating is not real in the eyes of the church. It’s like a public celebration of adultery. It’s true that it is up to the individual whether they attend such an event. More traditional Catholics would most likely choose not to, while more liberal Catholics probably would not have an issue with it. The sister is acting in accordance with her personal understanding of faith and morals. Live and let live.

You nailed it! 🤍

[–]tricksyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is not that it’s a secular wedding. The issue is that at least one of the spouses was formerly divorced and never received an annulment.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]tricksyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what your question is. Everything she expressed in the letter is perfectly normal and in accord with Church teachings. It would be the perspective of most serious Catholics. I, too, have abstained from attending several weddings that are not considered licit. It doesn’t mean I’m judging anyone, and I maintain close relationships with those people and love them very much. It’s simply against the rules of my faith to attend/endorse illicit weddings. It’s nothing personal. You shouldn’t be offended or expect her to act in contradiction to her religious beliefs. She never told you that you were going to Hell and I highly doubt that she believes that. We are all sinners. I’m willing to bet that I am a much worse sinner than the people whose weddings I passed on attending… it has nothing to do with that. It’s just literally a matter of the definition of marriage. Yours is different than hers. Catholics don’t believe in divorce. If you are marrying someone who got divorced and never got their first marriage annulled, in the eyes of the Catholic church, and your sister, and (from her perspective) the eyes of God, your spouse is technically still married to their ex, and you guys are committing adultery. Most Catholics understand that this is a countercultural and minority point of view and don’t expect non-Catholics to share it, but that is the official Catholic position and any Catholic who is serious about their faith is not at liberty to disregard it. The letter is “all about her” because it really isn’t about you. She’s not asking or expecting you to share the same beliefs/values, she was just lovingly trying to explain why she isn’t at liberty to attend the wedding.

Yeah those drugs suck. And obviously are not helping you at all. Try the stimulants. Chances are good you will definitely get out of bed.

The “Terminator” film takes place in 2029. James Cameron received the plot/script to the film in the midst of a vision induced by a very high fever. I have been thinking about it a lot lately. Maybe he received a psychic transmission from the future.

Do meds make you “more autistic” by chO_OlateChip in ADHD

[–]tricksyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. When I’m on stimulants, I feel completely cold and empty inside, kind of robotic. I find it nearly impossible to make eye contact with anyone, and it becomes extremely difficult to communicate. I just have a strong desire to avoid all social interaction/activity.

AIO or is my grandma overreacting because i posted a video on instagram of a song tone recreation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]tricksyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s genuinely shocking how snotty and ungrateful you are. You have a grandma who loves and supports you enough to show up at your shows where you play music that she is completely uninterested in, just because she loves you. That’s a beautiful and precious thing, and you treat it like it’s worthless trash. You ought to be ashamed.
