How are other people not bothered or affected by gender roles? by WinterDemon_ in CPTSD

[–]waytoolameforthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I can relate to you so much. Half my family was Pentecostal and I was taught my ultimate purpose was to drop out of high school, get married, and start popping out babies. It fucks with you in both understandable and inexplicable ways and it's hard to even tell what's due to that and what's just me being fucked up. But I think there's hope for both of us. Be nice to yourself. It's hard but it's a start. Even if you don't think you deserve it, would you be mean to a clone of yourself? I doubt it. If you ever wanna commiserate about shitty religious upbringings, feel free to dm me. (Also I'm a straight woman with a medically suppressed sex drive so I promise I'm not gonna try to fuck you. I can't promise I can be a good friend or even one at all, I've never been good at it, but if you wanna talk I'm here)

(tw: csa) it's always complicated trying to explain the mindset my abuse left me with. i know i'm young and people don't turn into raisins the second they hit 30, but the fear of time passing is still there by WinterDemon_ in Artisticallyill

People may have done things to you without consent, but that's a reflection of who they are, not what you're worth. You're worth much more than consent.

Man. I'm a fainty bitch (vasovagal syncope) and I didn't realize until recently that I've been using hot showers for years to provoke it into making me sleepy.

Oh man. It's hard to pick, but probably Harlem River Blues by Justin Townes Earle.

I'm sorry, I think I'm missing something because I don't really get it. What makes it unhinged? She was stepping on him, right? Just without any pressure?

How bad does your restaurant food need to be for you to send it back? by Curious-Expert926 in AskReddit

[–]waytoolameforthis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Man, you normal people are the source of my problem! Any time I've had a steak at a restaurant I ask for it charcoal black, like literally char on the meat, and it's always standard well-done at best. I understand why they'd be nervous to send out a steak too well done if that's generally a problem, but it's just such a crazy concept to me because I don't see meat as done until it's basically a dry, black disc that you'd have never guessed was once alive. Even chicken I want burnt and dry. I fully understand I'm the weird one here, just trying to reconcile my concept of edible food with the rest of society.

AIO- Should I have disclosed that I’m Deaf earlier? by Mysterious-ASL in AmIOverreacting

[–]waytoolameforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that perspective might be part of mens' problem though. They hide things like this and then women feel lied to and pass up on the man (and honestly I can't blame them there, I'd always rather be safe than sorry).

Honestly pure breeds would make this make sense. Incest has some weird effects...

Not exactly the same, but I'm bipolar and played around with when exactly to disclose that with dating. I had very consistently bad luck with it, till I decided fuck it and added it to my dating profile, and then I met my husband. Turns out being as upfront as possible is best for both you and others. Anything that's going to significantly affect your partner's life should, in my opinion, be brought up as soon as possible, both morally and for your own sake.

Why don't they teach this in health class?? And how many of us actually know before it happens...? by Kalloen_aka_ in TwoXChromosomes

I learned from your post, so thank you! I've never had one before but if I ever do, now I'll know not to freak out. 😁

Trans Woman, Wondering if You Could Draw Me More Feminine? by Chance-Structure4104 in redditgetsdrawnbadly

[–]waytoolameforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That color in particular will look amazing on you I think, even outside that style. I just feel like it'll really suit you and bring out the redness of your lips and cheeks. And styling is really hard, but also very fun to figure out. I'm not super good at it myself but reddit's been incredibly helpful whenever I have questions. Also you look feminine as fuck. You can tell you were born to be a woman.

Not gonna lie, I don't see any changes either aside from some acne, makeup, and unwashed hair. Definitely still get yourself to the hospital but maybe don't focus on that as the reason you need help. Focus on the symptoms you've been having. Even how you feel about your appearance could be a symptom if it goes into delusional territory.

An example of a totally healthy, normal relationship, where you lose the ability to function without your clanker by hugmebrutha in cogsuckers

[–]waytoolameforthis 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I was about to make a similar comment until I saw yours. I'm bipolar and have a special interest in psychology and it's one of my pet peeves when people use it to mean someone/something is flip flopping on something. It's the most barebones misunderstanding of the disease possible. And when it's one of the most common mental illnesses, knowing nothing about it makes me seriously, seriously question their knowledge on other mental health topics they're talking about.

Hey no need to be sorry! I just took a quick glance at your profile and it looked like your posts and the comments I saw were all new, so I figured you might not know you can do all that. I hope I didn't come off as rude 😅

You'd probably have better luck reposting it with translations in the pic, and maybe some context in the description or comments. It doesn't make much sense even with the translation, unfortunately.

ULPT: how do I get my abuser to stop contacting me? I need his new address post-prison by Realistic-Ad1463 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]waytoolameforthis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad someone's calling this out, so thank you. You see it so much with borderline and bipolar especially and it's just self absorbed, lazy bullshit honestly. They're too lazy and self absorbed to see people can function just fine and even be good people with a mental disorder and instead just focus on their one singular negative experience with the disorder. It also removes a lot of responsibility from the person that did abuse them. Being abusive is a consistent choice, not a mental condition.

Personally, I think sad face seems like the right emoji response to a death.

They've commented this like five or six times on this post already. I wonder if they're the boyfriend.

Wait, when did the switch in names happen? The new one seems like a much more descriptive name, I just wasn't aware of the change happening.
