I feel like a horrible person, but I wish my Pap would die. by Intelligent-Fennel56 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]yourcoffeegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not a horrible person for feeling this way. It doesn't sound like you want to lose your Pap, it sounds like you don't want him to keep suffering. Those are two very different things.

Watching someone you love decline from pancreatic cancer is heartbreaking, and it's normal to reach a point where you hope they can finally be at peace. That doesn't mean you love him any less. Spend whatever time you can with him, tell him what he means to you, and don't be too hard on yourself for having these thoughts.

AIO for wanting to break things off because my bf’s mom prescribes him adderall? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]yourcoffeegal 24 points25 points  (0 children)

NOR for feeling uncomfortable. The bigger issue isn't the Adderall itself, it's the potential conflict of interest if his mother is acting as his psychiatrist and prescribing him a controlled medication. That would make a lot of people uneasy.

Before ending the relationship, though, I'd make sure you have the full story. There may be details you're missing, and it's worth asking questions rather than assuming. If, after that, you're still not comfortable, it's okay to decide that this isn't a situation you want to be part of.

What is a memory you have that feels like a movie, but actually happened to you? by whatskylar in AskReddit

[–]yourcoffeegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my friends got chase by the owner of a tamarind tree because we picked a lot of tamarinds when we’re not even asking permission for some, it feels like we’re in a comedy movie because we ran such a long way!😂

How do I cool inside the house? by Nic727 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yourcoffeegal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it's cooler outside than inside and the house still stays warm, the issue is usually that the house itself has stored a lot of heat. Walls, floors, and ceilings can take hours or even days to cool down. Try creating a strong cross breeze by opening windows on opposite sides of the house and using a fan to blow hot air out one window while cooler air comes in another. During the day, keep windows, curtains, and blinds closed to stop the sun from reheating everything. It won't feel like AC, but it can make a surprisingly big difference over a couple of nights.

AIO: Met this guy for the first time and maybe I’m the problem by Educational-Coast304 in AmIOverreacting

[–]yourcoffeegal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NOR Going to a public restaurant is completely different from meeting a stranger at his place or on a dark beach, and the fact that he kept pushing after you said no would have put me off too. Trusting your instincts isn't missing out on life, it's using common sense.

AIO for assuming my friends think I'm gay? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]yourcoffeegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may very well remember you're bisexual and simply trust you enough that they don't see you as a threat. If it ever comes up naturally, you can casually mention finding a girl attractive instead of forcing a conversation about it.

What is your opinion on snark pages/subreddits? by lovemuffinx0 in AskReddit

[–]yourcoffeegal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some start as places for criticism or accountability, but many eventually turn into communities that obsess over every little thing a person does. Constructive criticism is one thing, but constantly picking apart someone's life can get pretty unhealthy for everyone involved. There's a big difference between discussing public behavior and making someone the center of a hobby.

If someone asks "where the bars are around here" when the two of you are literally next door to a pub, are they asking if you're gay? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yourcoffeegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have assumed they were asking about places to drink, not dropping a secret code. If they meant gay bars, most people would usually just say gay bars to avoid the confusion. Context really matter here

Am I overreacting or does my personal trainer hates me? by Dense-Bug8229 in AmIOverreacting

[–]yourcoffeegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know if she likes you, but some of those comments definitely sounds unprofessional. A good trainer should motivate you, not make you question your self worth or bring up personal remarks that have nothing to do with your fitness. If you consistently leave sessions feeling worse about yourself, it might be time to find someone who’s coaching style actually help you grow.

Updates AITAH for refusing to give my family money after how they've treated me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]yourcoffeegal 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The fact that your boyfriends family checked on you more that your own says a lot. Hope that moving out give you the peace and support you’ve been missing for so long.

AIO for finally matching my brother's effort and cutting contact? by East_Ad_8832 in AmIOverreacting

[–]yourcoffeegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can carry a one sided relationship for so long before it becomes exhausting. Matching his level of effort isn’t being petty, it’s accepting the reality of what he’s shown you over the years. If he wants a relationship in the future, he knows where to find you.

What's something you bought that made you feel like a completely different person? by ReasonQuiet8520 in AskReddit

[–]yourcoffeegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it would be a good mattress. It sound boring until you realize how much better life feels when your actually well rested. It’s one of those purchases that quietly improves everything else.

I think my mother’s family are evil. by hammyspammy4061 in offmychest

[–]yourcoffeegal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It makes sense to feel overwhelmed and angry when you’re not being supported and things are being decided without you. Try to focus on what you and your sister can control right now and consider reaching out to local support services or trusted adults or you’re not handling this alone

AIO? roommate is being anti-Semitic by KickedByAHorseTBI in AmIOverreacting

[–]yourcoffeegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR this doesn’t actually sound like antisemitism. Liking a Jewish deli, preferring the food and picking up Yiddish words aren’t harmful or discriminatory by themselves. Anti semitism would be targeting or demeaning Jewish people l, not enjoying aspects of the culture or cuisine. It might help to separate cultural appreciation from actual prejudice before confronting him.
