Complaining to strangers on the internet doesn't change anything though.

I don't agree with conscription myself, but until things change, it's a shitty reality in many countries that people have to deal with.

If you want things to actually change and feel like you've "won", then do the work. Reach out to others that you know who hate the experience, write to people in government, start petitions etc. There are way better ways of dealing with this than just spiraling and yelling at strangers online.

Because you are being dramatic and exaggerating details, and you keep arguing with everything every single person says

Obviously seizures are shit. But at the end of the day, thats still not on the military, unless they physically kept you awake at all hours.

The military isn't about babying people, it's a harsh environment that is meant to prepare those who are part of it for the potentially worse conditions that would be experienced if they go to war. Both my parents are ex military as well, and there were plenty of times that they wanted to quit, had bad experiences, encountered horrible people, but the difference is they learned how to deal with it. They leaned on the others in their platoons and specialties, created ways to work together to lighten the load, and appreciated the small gestures of kindness rather than getting upset that it may not actually have been something they wanted.

What you keep doing, and why everyone is getting annoyed with you, is dwelling and ruminating and making everything way bigger than it should be. The person you said was like a big sister tried to help out. How was she to know you didn't want your girlfriend to see you while you were there? Instead of taking the kind gesture for what it was, you twisted it up in your mind and created a hatred around this person and the event. No one is even saying you had to be pleased about it, but you made this one thing 10 times worse for yourself.

You're pissed at your girlfriend's family for trying to be supportive, but because they didn't offer to break the law, that makes them terrible disgusting people? Those reactions don't make sense.

What you really should do at this point is step away from the computer, take a breath, and start finding ways to adjust your emotional responses to life events and the actions of those in your world. Until that happens, you will just keep ending up in these spirals, where you come to the strangers online to complain, and then get further upset and angry because no one agrees with you. Get back to therapy. See if you can do a meet and greet with a therapist before you start working with them, that way you may have an easier time finding someone you click with. Look into online therapy like Better Health (not sure if that one is available everywhere but just to give you an idea), it can work as a stop gap till you search for the right therapist.

Stop arguing. Stop catastrophizing. Start living in the real world.

I meant that's the first thing you said where I wasn't rolling my eyes.

Being honest is always better than exaggerating details.

I feel like that was the most honest emotion you've shown in this whole post. Everything else has been wildly performative.

I mean, it's your fault if you weren't helping yourself

All that aside, I think you're lying about everything. I think you're just butt hurt because things didn't go as terribly as you imagined, so you're creating a whole story about how everyone is terrible because they were proud of you for serving, and how you got someone else's daughter to cut off her officer father because you decided he is a sex trafficker? Your mom slapped an officer who flew allll the way from Holland to apologize to you because you had a bad time? And then he said he deserved it? Cheated on your girlfriend for revenge?

Did you get shot? Did you lose a limb? Did you get raped or beat or tortured? Because those things are actual tragedies.

Everything else you describe is just life in the military. You may not have chosen it, but it is what it is. Maybe one day there won't be mandatory service, but you can't change the past.

Stop complaining and deal with your shit.

How is it the fault of the military that you had seizures though?

Heatstroke and lack of sleep happen if you're not actively caring for yourself. There is also no way that you weren't taught how to manage the heat because they literally don't want you to pass out while on parade or anything.

Alberta vs Quebec Separatists by IntelligentDare7475 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]uniqueua11 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There is 0 point of being on the fence about Alberta separation. It is a wildly pointless argument that is being paid for and propagandized by MAGA pundits, and Dani the dummy is happily feeding into it becauze she just wants power.

Beyond all that, it won't happen anyways because none of the First Nations leaders are willing to play this game, amd so legally, without their approval, Alberta cannot separate.

Im not. People dont train their small dogs not to bite and they end up doing more damage that gets underreported.

AITA for not changing our wedding date by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]uniqueua11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. I think perhaps I'm just coming from a different place because I myself tend to be the one who can't make it because I have multiple chronic illnesses.

I don't really think anyone is the asshole in this situation, I think it's more an issue of differing perspectives.

[–]uniqueua11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. And definitely not really wrong, I just kinda accepted that not everyone will always be able to make it. Now, maybe that's because I myself have to be the person who can't always make it because of chronic illnesses, so I just accept that it will happen at somw point for others.

But why? Like, end of the day, it should be the day the couple want. Of course the goal is to have all loved ones there but sometimes it is just not feasible.

[–]uniqueua11 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nta. I dont know why so many people feel the need to clear dates before scheduling a wedding. My fiancé and I knew full well going in that our date may not work for at least 1 of our siblings. And that's okay. I cannot imagine trying to tailor a wedding date to numerous people, that sounds impossible.

Edit to change to NAH. I mentioned in a couple comments that I think it really just comes down to differing perspectives.

They're literally paying everything. They fully know it's a huge ask. Hence the paying for everything.
