I got groomed by my parents, they tried to turn me into an upstanding and successful citizen, but luckily they failed to brainwash me.

srry troon/rapist im not letting you datamine my trauma

I had a /pol/ ebf when I was 15 who I met at 14, in middle school. He wasn't very sexual (but did say things on a few occasions) because he was afraid of ever getting in trouble with the police, but in his own words "women my age are already whores. You're still malleable and I can make you my tradwife".
I absolutely idealized him for 18 months and multiple times he used that to deliberately hurt me or keep me desperate for crumbs of his attention. I hated him after but still wasn't over it for a long time.
I have had other encounters with weird men online who were abusive but he is the only one I can really say groomed me.

Man, I had a friend that was a victim of grooming by some /pol/tard too by the age of 13.
It makes me extremely sad how disgusting men can be. The effects it leads later on can be extremely awful.
There's not a single night I don't send a prayer to her.

>I heard some say that it was a thing back then, but I don't think so.
Years after the fact I had what I retroactively realized were attempts at grooming. I feel like if the dudes in question were more attractive or knew me better they would have succeeded, but they just had this air of grossness about them that even young me could detect. I could tell they were casting a wide net rather than having interest in me specifically, but I did not have the words for it at the time.

>Like, after a certain age I started identifying the intentions of a man when he messages you within the first messages.
I have being online in my tweens to THANK for honing my senses in this regard. I've been larping as a dude nearly everywhere since about 2004 because of it.

>Which book is this? The illustrated masterclass?

may have been something called masterclass, i already deleted it. "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying up" from 2011 i kept though.

This kicks ass, I haven’t seen or read Kondo’s work but I really agree with the methodology of minimizing effort of stupid shit to focus be more industrious in a personal sense and to focus on better things. I’ve started in small ways such as eating the same breakfast every morning (i dont mind doing this) so i mix my eggs and grind my coffee before bed like clockwork so that when i wake up, my morning is streamlined and done without thinking or distraction. I generally feel happier in the mornings when i used to hate them. Totally convinced to read and watch Kondo’s work now. Ty nona for sharing your experience!! Will likely be incorporating your advice into my life as well

>for 20 more banana boxes
how many hectars your home is

>>172613

in their current form they are basically drawers in a shelf. the shelf is just a frame that i can slide the boxes into and out of.

since the shelves can hold 6 banana boxes stacked on top of each other, i don't need no mansion to hold it.

this truly is the ultimate form of personal storage, i wish i had known about it sooner. i have not gotten used to it, it still feels very new mysterious and i am still a while away from having it feel familiar.

Banana box nona- how are you doing? I've been thinking about you lol.

I moved a few months ago but I'm only really getting to organize now. First thing is getting all the cold weather/warm weather clothes seperated, throwing out what I don't want, and putting everything away.

if you dont want to see other's opinions/content you dont like what is the point of being online?

Leave TikTok now, that shit rots your brain.
As for websites Tumblr can be good, depends a lot how you use it, like if you start following politicals blogs then yeah. You'd have to only follow specific accounts, half of my feed are literally just cool photos and animals.
Also, unironically wikipedia or wiki fandoms in general.

I dont have a reel issue with insta

ideally youd want a site with an up to date stream of content, without people interaction, right? thats hard though, i cant think of anything aside from the ones that have already been recommended that dont have cancer.

i guess you could consider finding journalist/bloggers on topics you like by searching by a variation of specific terms and word omittance. my recommenedations are these:
https://astralcodexten.substack.com/
https://www.anildash.com
https://brettongoods.substack.com
https://marginalrevolution.com

theres zlibrary
9anime.to, aniplay.me for anime
bflix.gg for movie streaming

i use fediverse instances for finding gems sometimes. it still has people interaction but not as much due to seclusion. you can find fedis you like using instance.social. if youre interested, try avoid larger fedis and aim for obscure ones, since they will have a wider range of neutral content and arent blocked by most instances. or simply go for the ones that share your interests.

you could maybe find an indepedndent news outlet site, but i dont think youll have much luck in this sea of shills.

Are you depressed about crystal Pepsi Anon? Me too

I do "web design" for a foundation, which really means designing emails and updating website pages. I do nothing more than my assigned tasks and spend the rest of my time working on my passion projects. Work from home is a glorious thing. But the worst part of my job is the 1 day im forced to go into the office and interact with people, ALL of them with partners or husbands or wives and I am this weird lonely self-hating thing that just barely blends in (not that anyone ever asks me about my status, they go on and on about their happy lives). I hate the tuesday commute too as no one can fucking drive in my state.

I miss being an unemployment leech, and I'd love if they just let me go one day.

As long as they're not fugly men.

Typical Pollyanna bullshit.
I was pure-hearted and ugly as a kid, the more hateful I became the prettier I got.
Just commuting, all I think about is stabbing people who don't walk straight nowadays.

I'm a bitch with anger about so many things, and I'm maybe 2 things going wrong in my life max from releasing it on the world and I'm also a babe.
So no it's bot true.

>>232725
I feel like it is trying to say that eventually, everyone will be "ugly," even the pretty people. This is true with age– nobody will be conventionally pretty forever. So if you have a bad personality, eventually you will be ugly on the inside and out.
But if you are pleasant, even if you are ugly, people will look at you in a nicer light (or at least the people who know you).

But I've seen ugly people with bad personalities before and pretty people with bad personalities so shrugs
