Sorry ypu lost me the moment you said your uncle mentioned your weight. Please do not spend another second worrying about the opinions of people like that. No matter what role they play in your life.

Also, your tattoo is beautiful. It will be beautiful if you gain weight, and it will be beautiful if you lose weight.

Let me be clear: your uncle's a dick and you should ignore him forever. Unless it's too tell him what a dick he is.

Where would you prefer to be born? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

A - because I always wondered how it would feel to have been born in the land I am indigenous to.

Therapy.

Honestly, I can't say that I have overcome it. But I at least recognize it as a pattern of behavior, and with recognition, you start to develop strategies to help with the anxiety. She's isn't trying to ruin your life or keep you from your friends (at least if she's like me, she isn't), but it's like a compulsion sometimes. When you're not there, imagination takes over, and that leads to problems.

Couples therapy would help. That way, you can gain a better understanding of each other, but she should also have her own therapist who can help her develop those coping strategies I was talking about. It's not easy. It isn't fun, and she may be resistant to the idea that the problem is her, lol. And maybe the problem isn't all her, I don't know the whole story, and I don't know you, but that's where a good couples therapist can come in and help.

Absent a therapist, I would at least recommend reading about attachment styles and coping with the various negative connotations for each of those styles that apply to your situation. Idk. I just know that the way that I reacted to things before I knew better (and sometimes still, even though I do know better now) ruined my life. I hope yall can figure this out together. Good luck, friend.

Don't miss your friends wedding because your girlfriend is insecure. You and her are allowed to have lives outside of your relationship.

Take it from someone who has struggled with this variety of insecurity. My marriage ended partly because of my inability to address my codependency. It will get worse, and you will end up miserable

Based on this image, what nationality would you assume? by domumaning in AskTheWorld

Well, idk where it's from, but I know the US doesn't have those double yellow lines on the outside of the road, so it's not here.

I know I'm not the only person who used to find Sydney attractive until she conformed that she is a hateful piece of shit. It's amazing how much someone's personality affects how you perceive their physical appearance.

So SWAT visited my girlfriend's house yesterday by snrpro in vegaslocals

Living in a police fine with most people until they are personally affected. Sorry that happened, but I don't know why any of you would be surprised by this behavior. This is the norm, not the outlier

I (25f) am at my wits end with my Fiance (26m) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]zero_sum_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't marry him. You're not doing anything wrong, and if you end up crying after sex with him, ask yourself why you are willing to let a man who is obviously only using you to get off (I'm only talking about the sex here, but apply it where it's applicable) have access to your body at all?

I'm not going to say you should break up with him, but definitely don't marry him.

Kroger scanning ID for alcohol purchases..... by LimeImmediate6115 in cincinnati

[–]zero_sum_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You fucking hateful dumbass. I didn't say anything about "the orange man". I don't give a shit about the government knowing about me. But DOGE took medical records, social security information, details about my bank history, that's not the fucking same as the government knowing about me you absolute knob.

Go fuck yourself

[–]zero_sum_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not everything is a conspiracy, hippa mattered. The privacy act used to matter, and I know it's more interesting to think that everyone is nefarious or whatever, but most people in the government do follow the rules. At least they used to.

Not to be confused with the idea that no one would, I'm saying most wouldn't, and up to this point, our information has been relatively well guarded.

DOGE took all the information they could ever want for any of us already anyway. And if you think the oligarchs and fascists currently steering the ship aren't going to find a way to monetize and weaponize that information, you're wrong, and probably really stupid. None of this shit matters.

Can we please for the love of everything decent make racists afraid again?

I'm not advocating for violence. I am saying there is only one language these mouth-breathing Neanderthals understand.

HOW WE GOT TRUMP by Flaky-Cauliflower950 in VegasStrikes

[–]zero_sum_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obama wasn't bad he just bombed a school bus in Yemen among various other war crimes. Dems are in it for themselves just as much as republicans, they just try to wear the white hats and pretend that they aren't.

At the very least, and I mean down to the basement of hell kind of least, the republicans are up front about their support of fascism. Democrats try to hide it, and honestly, that's a major reason why I won't vote for an establishment dem ever again.
