I don't know how to approach my insecure boyfriend Anonymous 126912[Reply]

I'm 19f, with 24m boyfriend and I met him online, knew of him for months until we started talking. I don't know if I am making the smart move with being with him, he one day called me his girlfriend and "i love you" without even meeting me or even asking me to be his girlfriend and he's being too silly by saying he's going to marry me and mind you this is 2 weeks into "dating" unofficially.. I am meeting him for the first time on Sunday and I do not know what to do because part of me does like him and have an interest in him, but his insecurity, and ego gets in the way. He doesn't have a job and I feel like this isn't a good investment because in all honesty I think everything is a red flag but I can't do anything because he has given me so much money for things I feel so bad but he wants me to meet his family and in my head I'm like chill I havent even met you, why your family?! WHAT DO I DO PLEASE. I feel like I've gotten myself stuck in the middle of things. I just think he is seeking a relationship to marry, whereas I want to experiment and date for fun and not for longterm as I am literally 19 brah… pls help

a man in his mid twenties love bombing a teenager he met online and now using suicide baiting guilt tactics on you?

i don’t know how to say this lightly but nona. he’s going to force himself on you. whether it’s sexual or forcing a relationship.

this is a jobless adult man who is resorting to dating teenagers because other people his age have apartments and engagements and degrees and careers. he has to date your age because it’s less weird to you at your age for someone to not have these things. but he isn’t a teenager like you. he is stunted and probably dangerous.

if i were you i’d pull a:
“hee hee i don’t remember you asking to be my bf!!!”
“ohhh well it’s a bit fast and i want to be able to meet someone before i decide”
“ohh im not feeling well and since i won’t be able to get what i needed to done, i’m going to have to push when we meet back!”
and then talk about all of your responsibilities and working towards having a life of your own and see how he either thinks he is more important and be repulsed or he’ll have to back off. and then i would slowly stop responding or respond less and less. he will probably freak out at you a little. don’t reply right away then pretend you’re super sorry and worried reply for a bit then have “something come up and you’ll be right back” you have to back out of these things slowly and carefully. idk how obsessed he is or how much do your info he has. he’s already threatening suicide with you cooperating. he WILL threaten you or harm you at least emotionally if not worse in the future if you don’t comply. think about how weird he is being when you’re being agreeable. THIS is his honeymoon phase?

nona you better run or we will all be disappointed in you. you know deep down already this man is a creep. you’re just a baby still. don’t worry. rejecting this man will open doors for new men to come and you’ll have a higher sense of self worth each time you reject a man. the higher your standards are the better. rejecting men like this is how you build your standards. you’ve already taken the first step in identifying this is a certifiable freak. that’s major. you know what you need to do deep down.

but yes nona pls get out asap while you still can. you are literally 19!!!! you deserve to meet and date people if you want that and have actual real connections. not get lovebombed by some guy 5 year older than you tf. And definitely don't feel guilty bc he spent time/money on youu, because be fr he's a grown man and those are his choices.

If you don't end it soon it'll just keep going and it'll be harder to get away from him. Think about your future. You do NOT want this man to be your husband !!!

That's the kind of weight you can easily gain or lose by accident when you happen to change diet and habits, it happened to me a couple of times.

Normiemaxxing Advice Anonymous 126975[Reply]

Come on, how the fuck do I normiemaxx? I want to be happy like them. I want friends, I want to be respected and seen as NORMAL. Any tips? What should I do and what should I avoid?

The more closely you've bonded with someone, the more accepting they'll be of abnormal behaviour (in stages, don't reveal the abnormal stuff all at once).
You just need to reel them in first.

Normiemaxxing is often neither healthy nor normal.
If you're a proper normie, you don't have to waste time on explicitly figuring out how to act like one, most of it will come to you naturally the more you spend time around people. You mess up, you learn, you move on.
But if you're extremely deep in the weirdness, scared shitless of being ridiculed or even slightly rejected and very desperate to behave normal in public, you can speed things up by suppressing your personality and pretending you're already a normie.
100% won't work, but it'll give you a ton of anxiety.

Anonymous 127142

>>126975
Build confidence and self-esteem so you can get over not being a normie.
You can make friends without being seen as normal.
Most people are weird if you get to know them closely enough, I'm starting to think that true normies don't exist.

Anonymous 127148

>>127139
I'm sure your experience is insightful but doesn't need to be extrapolated to everyone and isn't so black and white. Maybe some nonas just need a safe environment to do it without having to fake it at first.

>just bee confident and urself :^)

ironically requires some degree of normality because being a tolerated weirdo faggot requires social skills (which normiemaxxing is supposed to provide) or resources. nobody really cares about you otherwise and confidence requires backing anyways

Nice girls really do finish last. I've been single for a few years and have not talked to any man until recently. I finally approached a guy I thought was cute. We hit it off but I did not know he was crippled. He explained he attempted suicide and shot himself but miraculously survived and now one side of his body is crippled. He ruined his potential over his ex who treated him like shit. And now I'm just here to pick up the pieces I guess since this is all I can get. Damaged, used goods. Fml

i think i misphrased it tho i was associating it with moids like the one she likes

its not about disability but many disabled moids will become incels bc their disability makes them undesirable and then they become kinda fucked up

I'd like your thoughts on this but I've come to believe inceldom is a cope that only losers use to explain being social rejects without having to face their own inner ugliness - this mix of indulgent laziness and entitlement to muh waifu that results in the bitter inceldom we know, in my experience moids who come to terms with their unattractiveness or take some accountability are less likely to fall into it

How to stop feeling like a subhuman because I'm a woman Anonymous 126636[Reply]

No it's not because of men that I feel this way, neither porn, but I've seen porn and women act like subhumans in it.
My problem is that I see submission as subhuman and female submission in sex is human and natural and sex is the fundamental part of the reality. So it's like we are subhumans in life. I don't hate myself but I hate womanhood.

growing up ugly Anonymous 125729[Reply]

can you ever heal from growing up unwanted + ostracized by your peers? I've slowly but surely improved my looks and the feedback I usually get is above average. but I still feel hideous, like an alien or lesser-than. getting asked out as a joke and being made to feel like you're "gross" is rough. i analyze my looks so much i don't even know what I look like any more.

anyone here grow up ugly, glow up, and not feel like that same ugly kid?

it probably has more to do with me having not been white in a predominantly white area. i was kind of a cute kid.

>can you ever heal from growing up unwanted + ostracized by your peers?
This one is really hard desu and requires a lot of support from others to recover. Bottom line is you need to be wanted and accepted by others.
If the extent of the damage done to you by ostracization was limited to your self-esteem, you'll probably have an easier time recovering by simply glowing up and changing your environment to a less racist one. You have an issue but you're pretty independent socially.
But if there was serious damage done to your socialization to a point where you're self-isolating weird etc then you'll need much more actual help.

Not OP, but sometimes I think some women in spaces like these sort of take it as a slight against all women when a woman talks about feeling ugly, lonely or pathetic or like a loser or something, and they feel the need to overperform how much of an outlier she is or that she's probably a larping moid, like embarrassedly saying "she's not with us" in case an outsider conflates her situation with yours. I don't think that's very fair. This mindset is why I never feel like I can vent about never having a boyfriend before, as if that's somehow remotely implying that applies to everyone here. It doesn't and you shouldn't care what hatereading scrotes think, even with perfect optics they would still make up bullshit reasons to insult women anyway, as they always have done for centuries including back when female outcasts were less prevalent than today.

If anything, I think it's a bit of a horseshoe to imply all women naturally live fabulous lives free of any insecurity, stress or problems. And maybe I'm being a retarded schizo, but "pinkpill" seems like an Inglourious Basterds wrong fingers moment. I thought feminism is the purplepill, and the pinkpill is moid discord/preddit tranny shit.

I dunno. Just seems a bit strange to argue we need to ban women for feeling miserable or suffering, and assuming an anecdote of a girl being harassed by moidlets is actually unrealistic anti-woman propaganda.

how to know someone is a fuckboy? Anonymous 125779[Reply]

I met a guy (unfortunately through a dating app and I haven't had a kiss in the last 3 years, we are going to for a date this Monday but, I really wanna know if anyone here had dealt with a fuckboy before and how to notice if I'm just gonna lose my time, he said he is open for a long time relationship so, at least the "open" may mean something? I won't open my legs coz we met.

Yeah that's all
Wish my stupid ass some luck, he is really cute ngl

And he is a nerd, quite a big nerd tbh, someone that collects anime figures and paint warhammer stuff at the end of the day goes against the "i go to the gym and I have a six pack" type of guy only, or that's what I think, sighs…

if a man in your experience tended to listen to songs that mirrored his emotional state. and it turned out he had been listening to music that was basically either throwbacks, soothing instrumentals you know he listens to for anxiety, and otherwise pretty much entirely songs about being in the wrong and the kind of man who ruins his partners life without trying so they should stay away. like music about realizing too late you were wrong and it’s too late to apologize or redeem yourself. wishing you could go back and undo what you did. that you didn’t mean to hurt that person. that they were evil and dark and beyond redemption. would you believe they were sorry? would knowing someone didn’t intentionally hurt you make you feel better? especially if he was presenting a happy face to everyone and his music taste was alarmingly suicidal when it wasn’t before. he did not send me the playlist and we use different music apps. he’s just been silently listening to this stuff for years. is he sorry? is this a truer indication of his feelings than him trying to contact me and apologize?

Hey nona. The fact you're self aware about this is already a huge step. You don't need to save every animal or person that's in distress, it's another way to create a toxic environment. In fact you should be saving only yourself and people who won't inflict harm upon you. Many bad situations can be avoided this way, so hopefully you can find some solace and agency in this idea.

those tik toks of animals with days to live have been upsetting me so bad lately. i keep emailing shelters near me to get in touch with them because i can’t have a dog on my floor and i rent. the amount of suffering in the world drives me insane. i guess that’s why i even care someone who hurt me is depressed. he let me suffer alone when he knew i was hurting. there’s just a part of me that can’t be like that towards someone when i know i’m part of it. i wanted him to say sorry and then for it to be over. not for him to be silently suicidal and think the situation is so far gone i wouldn’t care if he apologized and he doesn’t deserve to be forgiven. cos like the greater implication scares me. what if no one ever forgives each other for anything and we don’t fix climate change and the whole world is just backed into a corner and the whole earth ends.

i’m glad at least for the ones connecting dogs on death row to people who have confirmed they’ve saved them at least. i tried to show my local shelter the shelter needing animals transferred out and i hope that eventually no animals have to be put down and they can just be moved to areas with not a lot of strays like where i live. it like destroys me inside seeing this stuff because there aren’t any kill shelters within driving distance of me at all so it’s hard to do anything when the most urgent need isn’t local. i try to focus on wildlife rehab and conservation stuff here. i feel like i obsessively need to focus on fixing things or the weight of the world starts driving me actually insane.
