I've always known I have depression and anxiety but I'm starting to think I have other undiagnosed mental illnesses like mild autism, avoidant personality disorder and ADHD
I don't want people to think I'm trying to brag about how mentally ill I am or something, I don't want these things to define me but I feel like if I give the way I act and how I process things a name it'll be easier to understand myself and try to cope better with my shortcomings
Anonymous 38745
>>38743The truth is that giving a name to your problems and calling them an illness is more likely to make you feel defective and helpless than provide understanding and benefit to you. Being introspective is a useful thing. It’s a shame that in the modern age, everything needs to be diagnosed and medicated. It’s okay to work through things. You can overcome it if you want to.

Facial hair on men is DISGUSTING
EVERY GUY has a giant pubebeard and mustache. every one. I go on tinder and it's all a bunch of soyboy fuggos. Even the guys who would be average looking ruin it by having a pile of pubes on their face.
>made thread on 4/adv/ pointing this out, "this is why you don't have a gf. shave your face"
>deleted in under a minute by asspained neckbeard janitor
Now I get to choose between dating micropenised asian men, who at least are incapable of growing a pubeface, or average penised white "men" who make me want to throw up just looking at them. men are like pigs, show them a pile of shit and they rush to throw themselves in it. Men should not be in charge of their own appearance because they will RUSH to do anything possible to ruin themselves. These mens' mothers need to give them a belt buckle to the ass until they learn better. Disgusting, it's just disgusting.
Anonymous 38754
>>38745Dumb. Maybe it's because there's a pretty big gap between mental illnesses that feel alien to your own mind and stuff that's just an issue with how you handle your own emotions or something but at least with my own experience with OCD understanding it as a specific problem and pathology instead of as a more mundane albeit unpleasant part of my psyche that I just needed to grapple with emotionally was key in actually doing something about it

>>38778Evolution works on averages. It isn't concerned with anomalies.
You just happened to make an unlucky roll and ended up with a preference (or non-preference, as the case may be) that causes you to be unattracted to a large number of guys, in the same boat as asexuals and such.
I don't think facial hair on guys is as prevalent as you make it out to be overall, though. Have you considered that it might just be a result of the culture in your country/region?
I work at a grocery store in the southern US and I think at least more than half the men I see have no facial hair.

I really hate boomers. Loud, argumentative, ignorant, pig-headed, so damned sure they're right about everything when even a 2 second google search or logical examination could prove them wrong. and they never shut up, they're always in your face looking to start an argument, always trying to attention whore and get people to listen to their retarded opinions about everything. insufferable retarded idiots. boomers are the most uneducated generation to ever exist. most of them haven't read a book since high school in the damned 70s. truly a dangerous combination: loud AND stupid. they're the type of people who will kick you to the ground and then call you a stupid idiot for being on the ground.

My friend keeps using me as a therapist, he keeps having breakdowns to me and it's really heavy and hard to deal with. I myself am not in the best of situations but he'd say about how he has it worse than me or how he's jealous of me because he gave me someone in my country's contact details and no one's done that for him. It's upsetting because the majority of his problems are self afflicted, he had friends but got tired of them and cut them off but now misses them. I really want to help him but I don't really know what to do and it's all really taking its toll on me.

I recently ran away from an abusive household. Since I worked with my father, I lost my income the moment I cut ties with him. I was lucky enough to move in with my relative, and my insurance covers for therapy, so I can work on my trauma.
However job hunting has been so stressful because of the pandemic. No place is calling me back despite having adequate work experience. I figured that would of been the case since my state is shutting down again and leaving essentials open. My uni is still going to be online this upcoming semester, which is annoying bc I dislike the online learning structure.

I hate how the beard is seen as “Chad” and “high T” when it’s really just ugly as fuck on 90% of guys. I’m pretty sure guys get them to hide facial flaws such as a weak chin but that very rarely actually work. Most decent looking beards take just as much work to maintain as shaving everyday would be so I don’t understand why lazy internet fuckers think it’ll get them chicks. Whenever my bf doesn’t shave for a week and starts to grow a bit of a chin strap I stare at him autistically until he shaves god I hate facial hair.

I don't think I understand what it even means to have friends. All throughout High School I had a "best friend", but, I wasn't able to articulate my deepest thoughts to myself, let alone others. In my work environment I feel like I have to keep a mask on somewhat, or else I could face major negative consequences. Is having friends just trusting other people with your genuine social "face"? Other people are just so strange, it's hard to find ones that understand that thought processes I'm working in.>>39048
All throughout High School I'm uncertain I understood what it is to have a friend. I was barely able to articulate my private thoughts to myself, let alone others. I'm lucky I have a husband, but it sometimes occurs to me that if he dies, I have no other support groups. The only time I go to social gatherings is through his friend group, so there's also that hovering sense of being an "add on."
Maybe I'm overthinking this.

>>39091>Is having friends just trusting other people with your genuine social "face"?If it is, then I don't think I've ever had one.
There are people I know better and around whom I can be a bit more open than normal, but there's always that filter there. Every time I think of something to say I always have to run through possible outcomes of whether it's appropriate, how they might react, how it could affect their long-term opinion of me, etc. The only time I've ever devoted no mental effort toward monitoring my own speech or actions is when I'm completely alone.
I feel like this effort requirement is part of why I don't particularly like interacting with people. Even of the "friends" I've had in the past, I only ever spoke with them when I happened to see them in person during school and such. I'm not sure I've ever called or messaged anyone "just to chat" in my entire life.
Do you mind my asking how you were able to get a husband? Did you like being around him from the start, or was he just an acquaintance at first and you grew to like him enough over time that you wanted to go out of your way to see him?

>>39106>Do you mind my asking how you were able to get a husband? Did you like being around him from the start, or was he just an acquaintance at first and you grew to like him enough over time that you wanted to go out of your way to see him?We met on a now defunct imageboard, or rather, the zeemap on such a board. A common culture of browsing imageboards did wonders for me not having to worry about what kind of things I could or couldn't say around him, in jest or sincerity, and maybe that's just what I needed. Because I knew he should be able to handle it, I was very blunt and straightforward from the start about what I wanted and what I liked. We emailed for the first little bit, had a nice phone call together, and then met in person. I was able to be very forward with how much physical affection I wanted to give, something I've never been able to do in the past with others, not even my own family really. I was probably a bit reckless about the entire process and a bit too quick about it too, but it turns out if you find someone even mildly well-adjusted mentally and socially on an image board there's a relatability you have a hard time finding elsewhere. Maybe it was just the brutal honesty, but we seemed to have amazing chemistry from the first in person meeting. It's not been all perfect mind you, in fact we've both made some major mistakes, but, him and I seem to be of a mutual understanding that we do have each other's best interests in mind, as well as a common sense of "values".
Maybe I could relate to more people if I just acted this way from the start, but it feels like if I make on inappropriate slip up and I'm done for in more ways than one. I completely relate to this.
>Every time I think of something to say I always have to run through possible outcomes of whether it's appropriate, how they might react, how it could affect their long-term opinion of me, etcI do this a lot in unfamiliar social situations, with today's massive level of surveillance, it feels like one fuck up and the rest of your life is ruined. I'm uncertain resolve this other than ignoring it and trying anyway, but then, even if I do manage to, most people just aren't interesting to talk to. I'm not going go full normalfags, but there's just a gap in what others and myself find interesting to talk about, and as much as I like to talk, that's only fun when the other person is having a good time too. Meanwhile, I do my best to shut up and genuinely listen to other people, but so few have anything worthwhile to say. Maybe I just need the right social environment, heading back to University might help, though I know just because someone's at the college level doesn't make them smart or interesting.

I'm having a hard time seeing the point of relationships or of friendships.
It's all very random.
I don't see how the connections I make are special in any way at all.
It's just luck. Fragmented worlds.
What's the point of a relationship if I'm just securing traits that were passed from birth?
Things outside of our control, and yet everyone still plays the game.
I'm only valued for things I had no control over…
And yet I do the same. I resent it. To wish for someone kindhearted and yet I can't stir anything inside me if they've got a bad roll…
What makes it even special anymore? It seems like most miners just forget the serendipitous aspect to their relationships.
At this point I don't even want a relationship.
And what's the point of a friendship if I'm just stuck in a continuous external validation cycle and feel barren, hopeless, useless when I turn off my devices. Empty rooms, bland food I cook. I always feel undervalued and hurt, somehow. Then I blame myself for caring as much as I did, when it's clear that's not the new mode of friendship in our modern world.
I wonder if I'll finally pick up interests now that I've blocked everyone.
Luckily the memories from school are at least fading. I don't want to remember the firepits and bike rides.
I just wish I could love my special group of people for who they are. And they might do the same.
I'm just not sure who you are, or who I am anymore.I know it's my fault I ended up this way.Thanks for reading my blog post.There are still things to be thankful for, don't you think?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HnzrblXZpoAnonymous 39147

Going for a nice walk in the park together. Recommend a book that you've read to her, and let her borrow it. Or let her cry on your shoulder if she needs it. Just spend quality time.

>>39351lifestyles are a valid reason i would avoid or drop a relationship. if you cant even agree on where and how to live, i mean, that's a big issue. people are different. i'm very much a city person, the bigger the city the better. i like being right downtown in a small apartment, i'm minimalist and hate driving. basically all i own are some personal care items, a laptop, a very small amount of kitchen gear, and some clothes. totally incompatible with someone who say, wants to live in the surbubs and drive so they can have a big house full of suburban crap, or wants to live in the country and chill with a big garden.
and don't bother with a garden on a rental property. you invite problems with the landlord like that, and if you have to move then you'll be heartbroken to leave your plants behind. at least keep them all in planters if you do.

Why is every man in a mostly-male space always so rude. They’re rude to each other but even worse to any outsider who comes in. Oddly enough is that these are the same men who will melt like a snowflake in your hand whenever you act genuinely nice and caring towards them (making them super susceptible to the egirls they despise). Why do men gotta be dicks? Both to each other and to women who aren’t giving them an erection? Is it unironically toxic masculinity or is it just “male bonding” that I’m simply too female to understand? I am not looking for answers, as it’s just scrots being dumb idiots. There’s no way to teach them basic empathy without intense reeducation.
This may be worthy of its own thread but I’m posting this in vent because I may come to my senses after I finish my beer. The inspiration of this autistic rant is a bunch of dudes dogpilling me in a discord text chat in this server I am in cuz of my bf. Moral of the story is never associate with men besides (potentially) your family, your employer, and your sexual partner ig
Anonymous 39378
>>39376Depending on the context men giving each other shit is either a way to signal comfort and friendship because you have to be comfortable with someone to be ok with them making jokes at your expense, dickishness disguised as bonding, or just open assholery. The thing that signals which is stuff like tone and whether or not the butt of the joke is comfortable with it
Anonymous 39381
>>39376>Why is every man in a mostly-male space always so rude.You've partially answered your own question with the following statement.
>They’re rude to each other but even worse to any outsider who comes in. You notice the pattern that men give men viewed as friends shit, but are far more hostile to outsiders. This is because, in a more open-violence accepting situation, a man would need to make sure his friends could handle a confrontation. If my friend Bob can't take an insult well from me, how the is he supposed to man up and fight Bill and his gang should we need to. Constant shit tests are for the purposes of verifying dependability even under stress in a casual setting, so should anything actually need to get done, you have a better indicator of who is reliable. Can't be breaking into tears as your bashing some other dudes head in with a rock. This mindset came from years of male bonding being concerned with the ability to express violence against rivals in a coordinated . It looks odd nowadays because society continually needs less and less violence from it's members. The outcome of the pattern of behavior is no longer needed, so the pattern of behavior is no longer useful.
>Oddly enough is that these are the same men who will melt like a snowflake in your hand whenever you act genuinely nice and caring towards them They can't get it from men so else are they supposed to get it from?
>Moral of the story is never associate with men besides (potentially) your family, your employer, and your sexual partner igThis unironically sounds like exactly what a traditionalist male would say women should do.

i feel like a little girl stuck in a woman's body, and i'm not even sure about that because people never believe me when i tell them i'm 20…
i've been through so much trauma i spent my teenage years trying to fix myself and trying to figure out why i was so broken in the first place, instead of socializing and connecting with other people my age
now i'm an adult, my classmates are finding the love of their lives and buying houses and finding stable jobs and i'm here all alone crying in my room because i'm too emotionally stunted to form any meaningful relationships
i'm 20 and i don't know how to drive, i don't know how to cook i don't know how to find a job i don't know how to show others how i feel and it hurts so much to see how i'm falling behind in life. it hurts so much and i'm so afraid. i've been afraid my whole life. i'm just a scared little girl on the inside and i never grew up

>>39376It depends which mostly-male space you are talking about. Places like 8chan and /pol/ tend to be horrendous because they are full of literal Neo Nazi fanatics and the mentally ill. But some boards on 4chan and Wizchan are a lot more civil with guys just talking about and sharing media that interests them (yes porn and hentai but plenty of other stuff as well). Or commiserating with each other about how shitty life can be (just like here). IRL true malice is not tolerated for long at all in a group of guys. It mostly only occurs on imageboards because of the shield of anonymity and in some cases the need to just blow off some steam because they are angry/unemployed/sexually frustrated. From all the seething I have read on imageboards though, I think it's never a good idea to intentionally wind people up a lot online (no matter their gender). You never know what insane things they might do to the real people around them who are completely innocent but end up being on the receiving end of their internet-related bad mood.

I fell in love with someone I met online. He’s a total weirdo but he’s great and we get eachother and he loves me too. Strange thing is despite all this we don’t even know each others’ names or faces. I don’t really care what he looks like regardless and my intuition is that I’d like him (I kinda instantly fall for anyone with blue eyes,). I just worry, I’m not unattractive and my face is cute but I never liked my nose, it’s something I’ve been continually worrying over since puberty and really now aside from Corona chan the only thing stopping me from getting a nose jobu is the money, and I just have to stop being an insecure little bitch and get a job or sell some of my stuff. It’s just the worry that man, it’ll be a year or more since we’ve gotten together and I have to wait till then to even exchange pictures… For that I couldn’t blame him for getting paranoid and leaving or something. I guess I just have to enjoy my time with him and try my best to get this done sooner rather than later. But we get on so well and he is so sweet, it’d absolutely destroy me for something to go wrong. Maybe this is all so tangential and “meaningless” it doesn’t matter too much if we can never meet. But the fantasies make me so happy and so unhappy at the same time. It’s an anxiety that I’d never ever have something so pure again… But if he is not willing to wait a long time Victorian romance style this shit is worthless anyway, that is my cope.

Additionally, if you lose your virginity and that man, don’t get that “fuck it” mentality and just have sex with everyone (unless you’re totally sure that’s what you want). The Madonna/whore complex is pretty strong on whatever Cantonese knitting forums you lurk, but you can still value yourself even if you’re not a virgin.

I may fail my studies at the last year despite almost perfect grades because I didn't complete any phys ed classes, which was required in the curriculum. I had medical leave for them from my psychiatrist, but for three years I was too scared to go and present it to the PE faculty. Like I've tried and physically couldn't do it, I just freeze and break down before entering the building. The staff there are known for being extremely unfriendly and I can't do confrontation.
I personally wouldn't mind that much, it's a degree I chose because I liked it and was decently good at it but it's not something that'd help me get a job in any way. I just dread breaking the news to my father. He has a habit of screaming and belittling people in inconceivably horrendous ways that have made even the most strong willed want to die (he is very intelligent and knows exactly what to say to achieve this) for trivialities like misplacing kitchen utensili, waiting for him to react to anything bigger than that is torture. Public uni is free in my country so it's not as if I wasted his money, he just hates how useless I am. I wish I were braver so I could blow my brains out. Life is nothing but anxiety upon anxiety, and none of the small 'good' things come anywhere close to outweighing this.

This is supposed to be my last semester so I'm not sure how that'd work but I could appeal to repeat the year, problem is it costs a lot of money which I don't have. There are 0 job openings on the market, not that I wouldn't get fired after 1 week for being a literal social cripple. My father also went into debt because his business died in the wake of corona.

I was sending out resumes like crazy, made finding a job my job for a long time. No bites. Everyone told me I wasn't qualified enough or that I needed X, Y, Z. Companies made me pay for my own airfare and then laughed in my face during the interview. I barely landed a small job making utter peanuts where I had to fight the boss for every less-than-minimum wage paycheck.
One day, a top company gave me a chance at an interview. I aced it and am now making more money than any of my previous jobs combined. Got a raise. Am in the top performance percentile. Companies can't even approach me with offers unless it enters absurd amounts. Like you, I was the same person, same resume, as all the other companies that rejected me.
It is an unfair world. You need to get lucky. Sometimes being lucky isn't your first job, more just your first big chance. If you have drive, work ethic, and skill, you will still need to persistently try until you get lucky, even if it takes years. I can't even promise that you'll succeed if you try, but you have to try for the chance.

Am I a dick because I feel uncomfortable my boyfriend wants a relationship with my parents when I don't? I want to cut them off to a degree. They were abusive and negligent to me growing up (long story) and he knows, but I feel like it doesn't matter to him. On the other hand, he does seem to care about a family member that sexually abused me and staying away from him. But arguably, my parents were worse because they tried to stop me from telling anyone, they forced me to continue living with the aber, they told me how the abuser was suicidal when I finally went to someone who could do something about my situation, and I got constantly called bitter, etcetera for simply not wanting to live with my abuser. I also got blamed by them for it because I was "charming" and "seductive" as a 9 year old. My parents restricted me from all regular forms of media for the most part, I wasn't allowed on the internet, I was mostly only allowed to read clean classics and biblical related content. I was homeschooled and the only other humans I was in contact with were some people from my church, but I wasn't allowed to have friends. There's numerous other details I could add.
The point is, he still wants a relationship with them, and it makes me suspicious. He says it's only fair since I have a relationship with his parents, but they didn't do nearly the things mine did, and it's really only a beef with his mom and sister of his, not to mention I never asked for such a relationship.
Then I get confused because maybe I am overstepping boundaries by not wanting him to have a relationship with my parents. It seems sour to me, though. I don't know what to do.

>>39827The fact that he specifically wants to know your parents is weird to me. But then, I'm the kind of person who doesn't specifically want to know anyone, so maybe that sort of thing is generally a normal desire for couples.
Still, I feel like he should understand your reasons regarding not wanting to be around people who enabled your abuser.
Maybe he's just the sort of person who thinks family is all-important, and that you should be able to forgive your parents or something.
I don't think you're being unreasonable. It might just be that your belief systems are incompatible. I think you should talk with him about exactly why he thinks that you're wrong in your approach.

>>39827He seems like a reasonable boy. He probably just wants to not be a bad guy and give a middle finger to his fiancé's parents. It's just chance that he wound up with abusive in-laws. He'll learn soon enough. Don't listen to the BPD replies. He's just a bad judge of character. Something tells me you wound with him because of his trusting nature.

>>39827>Am I a dick because I feel uncomfortable my boyfriend wants a relationship with my parents when I don't?I don't think anyone's a dick for feeling certain things, it's the actions you take in reaction to or in spite of said emotions that determines if you're a dick. The fact you're considering you're one tells me you're at least slightly feeling pings of guilt/sadness/whatever for your current actions and choices, and maybe you should look at why you're referring to yourself as that.

>My parents restricted me from all regular forms of media for the most part, I wasn't allowed on the internet, I was mostly only allowed to read clean classics and biblical related content. I was homeschooled and the only other humans I was in contact with were some people from my church, but I wasn't allowed to have friends. There's numerous other details I could add.These sound like the typical complaints of living in an average US Christian household no offense. Typical parenting complaints that mostly come from a place of incompetence more than malice. I'm not saying they didn't or shouldn't have effected you, just be aware this is actually a very common complaint.
I can't know all the details of your childhood, and it wouldn't matter if I did. You are an adult, you should decide how close or how far you want the relationship with your parents you want it to be, that's the most important part of independence. The center of power is now on you on how well you do or do not treat your parents. You can justify your decisions in any number of ways, but it's always going to be your responsibility. I would argue your parents aren't worse then actual abuser, because they have a vested interest in just keeping the peace and I doubt you've ever had an in depth discussion with them about why they made the decisions they did. Does that mean you shouldn't have felt the way you did? No. Does that mean they couldn't have made better choices? No. It means exactly what it means, they have some reason for the decisions they made, and if you never talk to them about it you will always be operating off of partial information. I can only give you my perspective on how I interact with my parents, and maybe you can take it into consideration.
I personally had an abusive (not sexual) father and a mother who didn't really know how to handle it, who were both in way over their heads. I don't think either were malicious, just highly incompetent and no good way to regulate their emotions. When I became 19, I left home and cut off all contact with them, moving two states away without telling either of them or my 6 siblings where I was going. It was very effective in forcing both of them to 1. cool their heads, and 2. realize I could with impunity cut them out of my life. It is quite the empowering feeling to be able to have that much emotional sway over someone. In the end, I did eventually move back due to various reasons, after that point though, my parents interacted with me in a completely different way. I always remind them if they get too pushy that I, at any time, reserve the ability to cut them out of my life, even to my own detriment. Years later, I live seperate from them with my husband, they are now divorced, and I can only put up with them in very small doses. I do recognize though, for all their faults, they did clothe me, they did shelter me, they did feed me, and did their best to take care of me. For this, I offer them a token of mercy, and hold a very arms distant but steady communication with them. Whenever I talk, or go to a gathering with them, I always restate I have the ability to leave at any time I wish, and actively use it.
If you wanted the really short version, I would say there's no reason to completely cut them out of your life, and no reason to keep them there. Realize that you can have a healthy relationship with your parents as long as you are strict with the fact you can stop interacting with them, at any point in time.
>The point is, he still wants a relationship with them, and it makes me suspicious. He says it's only fair since I have a relationship with his parents, but they didn't do nearly the things mine did, and it's really only a beef with his mom and sister of his, not to mention I never asked for such a relationship. I don't have the full story, all I can say is that for most people, meeting each other's family is a very important milestone in the development of the relationship. It's your choice to not do so, it's he's choice to ask to do so. Are there no conditions you can bare even the smallest bit of interactions with your parents?

>>39846The reason I feel like a dick is because it seems to me I am restricting the actions of another person when it is not my place to do so. Both my boyfriend and my parents want to know each other better, whereas I do not want that to happen. It is pressure mounting on me from both sides. I feel as if "who am I to deny them a relationship?" though I know that if he were to cultivate a relationship with them, it would prove difficult for me to trust him. He used to say that if he wanted to marry me, he'd ask my dad first, and I said I found that insulting and that would not ever be okay with me. Just the behind the back component of that is enough to arouse suspicion in me.
When I've introduced partners regularly to my parents in the past, my parents talk to my partners about me in ways I dislike. I'm not keen on that happening again. I've communicated with one parents I do not want that happening again, but I know it's unlikely they will keep that promise as they've lied to me before.
>These sound like the typical complaints of living in an average US Christian household no offense. Typical parenting complaints that mostly come from a place of incompetence more than malice. I'm not saying they didn't or shouldn't have effected you, just be aware this is actually a very common complaint.Oh yeah, I've accepted long ago it wasn't malicious in intent. But it still affected me quite negatively. I mean, I know it's common for kids to complain about strict parents, but I've never met anyone with strict parents to the degree mine were, irl or online:
>not allowed to watch most children's movies>not allowed to own any electronic devices (no cellphones, ipods, handheld gaming, laptops, etcetera) >not allowed to have friends (this was in part because they were scared their rules might be violated)>not allowed to wear tank tops>called a "prostitute" for wearing makeup by my father>not allowed to pluck eyebrows>not allowed to dye hair >not allowed to drive>only allowed to read list of approved books by parents; most children's books did not make the list>not allowed to listen to "secular" (non christian) music>rooms regularly searched by mother for anything written or drawn because it "revealed what was in our minds" and they wanted to know that>not allowed on the internet>no media in general allowed, unless approved by parents>money or gifts given to us were not ours >no video games>no radios>parents installed software connected to the internet which sent them emails of all internet activity in case we tried to sneak on (this was not a bluff)Maybe it seems strict because I grew up in Southern CA, and maybe it's normal in the midwest or south. Every other kid at my church made fun of me and my siblings because of how little we allowed to partake in the outside world.
>The center of power is now on you on how well you do or do not treat your parentsUnfortunately, right now it's financial I'd say. I have maintained a not-too-close, but amicable relationship with my parents because I've always considered it the proper way to act.
>I would argue your parents aren't worse then actual abuser, because they have a vested interest in just keeping the peace and I doubt you've ever had an in depth discussion with them about why they made the decisions they didI don't appreciate the way you worded the last part, but I have multiple times and it basically comes down to no one wanting to take responsibility and just the type of thing where it's like ~we were doing our best~ and sure, I get it, but that's not enough for me to be okay with how they treated me.
I consider them worse than my abuser because they excused his behavior to his face. They told me that my account was not as trustworthy as the abuser's account because I was "younger and therefore probably didn't remember things correctly" though I was at an age where I absolutely did remember what happened. They told my abuser and me that since he was technically a child, it wasn't abuse, just consensual sex play when in fact there was definite manipulation and coercion on his part (not to mention an age difference). Before I told a mandatory reporter, I told my dad that what happened still bothered me and he told me "You just need to get over it" and I was only 13 at the time. After telling a mandatory reporter, I was blamed by my dad for "splitting up the family" and my abuser was regularly asspatted for putting up with everything going on. I was also accused of lying when I wasn't. My parents also told family relatives it was not abuse but "consensual" sex play I got upset over. I was told I was a sinner for not reporting this to my parents as the abuse happened though my parents made sex a taboo topic and I was young enough to where I did not understand much about it to even tell, not to mention my abuser told me not to tell anyone. Much of this I learned from other family members. There are other details I forget at the moment. My dad has also left bruises before on me. As for the abuser, he very much sees himself as not doing anything wrong, which I believe my parents greatly contributed to.
Regardless of that, the point is they missed the mark by a lot to the point where though I can say they tried their best, I can also say it was not good enough by a long shot. I am not interested in being near them for a time. As I said, "cut them off to a degree" - not forever, but certainly for a time to where I can heal more completely from them (though I'm always working on that) and then reintroduce myself to them.
>I don't have the full story, all I can say is that for most people, meeting each other's family is a very important milestone in the development of the relationship. It's your choice to not do so, it's he's choice to ask to do so. Are there no conditions you can bare even the smallest bit of interactions with your parents?Oh, he's met my whole intermediate family once, my mom and an extended family member another time, and my dad a separate time. He is very interested in my family because of those interactions and I wish he'd get over the novelty of them. They can act nice and are fine to be around in small doses, but it feels a little bothersome he acts like the experience of being with them is so nice for him it is more important than how they've treated me. Like I stated at the beginning of this whole post, it makes me feel like I'm selfish to be that way, though. Who am I to tell him no? It would make me feel miserable if I had to endure him talking, talking, talking with my family members when I just want to leave, however. I act amicable with my family in these instances (well, I like to think I do, anyway).

>>39853>he used to say that if he wanted to marry me, he'd ask my dad firstIf you were anybody else this would be a non-issue. Your situation is a special one, and in this case he genuinely seems like the right man in the wrong place. Is he a Christian like your parents, or simply well-meaning? Did you meet him through whatever they're involved with?
>my parents talk to my partners about me in ways I dislikeWhat will they say to them? Is it anything to do with your abuser?
Anonymous 39863
>>39853Yeah no, fuck this. People in general seem to think family is meant to be some sort of unbreakable bond, but if your family has a bad impact on your life there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting them out. And that includes leaving them out of your romantic relationship.
My bf also has a bad relationship with his family. At first I used to encourage him to get along with them, but I stopped after learning why he disliked them so much. I'm still nice and polite around them, but that's it. Why would your bf want to be around people who make you miserable? Why would he want to have a relationship with them?
I personally cannot wait for my bf to move out so he doesn't have to deal with things that make him feel bad.
Your bf needs to have a little bit of empathy. I don't understand why he wants to get along with people who hurt you. Does he not know about all this stuff? ffs next he'll say he want to get along with your abuser.

>>39827>>39853I'm sorry that you had to go through all this anon. That is a truly terrible story. I don't understand why you haven't caught them off completely?! You can legally divorce your parents. I read about situations similar to yours and it really does baffle me that people can think so little of their children. Show no mercy to your parents, and it may take years but you can gain the strength to move past them.
If I was your boyfriend I would understand not wanting to talk to your parents and make you feel welcome into his family. But I would encourage therapy, and tell you that who cares if it's family is supposed to be blood-related or not.
>why can you see his family and he can't he see yours?Highly suspicious. Why would you go through a horrible ordeal for it to be easily doubted. I don't see why anyone in a relationship would continue to think that I er time.
Anonymous 39872
>>39827Maybe in due time he will realize what sort of people they are. I'd say talk to him about. If he still wants to meet them then that'll be on him because you gave him a warning. If things get out of control after him meeting them. Try to initiate less contact from your part. Just gotta live with these nasty types of people until they die or someone moves away.
I have to deal with my bf's mom at irregular less times thank god. Narcissistic manipulative bitch she is. I don't want to talk to her or anything yet the times I need do I'm just flat out monotone to her. I don't want to smile or be friendly because that's not what she deserves from me. My bf despite what happened, doesn't understand how much it has affected me and want's to over look it. He forgets and moves on type of person. I'm honestly waiting for her to die.

I hate it that seeing attempted rape or rape in media makes me act strange and on edge. I have been raped numerous times and in many different ways and I'm embarrassed to tell my boyfriend why I get suddenly non-affectionate after we watch certain shows together. I feel like I should be over reacting this way and that I'm pathetic for being so affected by a reenactment. I am afraid he will want to not continue watching or whatever else, I just wish he understood I can't stand being touched or near another person when I see what is supposed to be "rape".
It's also embarrassing that I get this way over certain themes. Like it's been so hard for me to learn to trust in this relationship because of my past relationships, and then if I watch something where people are lying or hiding secrets from each other, it makes me paranoid again of my boyfriend. I wish I could enjoy normal media without it slapping me in the face and yelling at me that I'm stupid for trusting even though I've seen time and time again my boyfriend can be trusted.
Any help is appreciated though this is a vent thread.

>>40053I don't have much help to offer on the bf situation since i still don't trust people, but just wanted to say that it's not really overreacting anon. It's quite common to be triggered by media after what you went through, some people can't function after sensing a specific, normal smell that reminds them of the trauma for example. Give yourself some empathy because you're doing good, you're not being pathetic at all.

Hey I don't know your symptoms but I was deadass sure I had VM, crying and scared shitless about it for months, and when I got it checked, turns out it was harmless hyperpigmentation which can happen:
>At any point in a woman's life as they age past initial puberty
>Due to any medication, particularly BC, hormonal etc
>Due to injury, even like, a scratch
>Naturally for no reason
>Suddenly and dramatically in size, shape, irregular borders, and is still usually benign
Go figure there's tons of research and articles on male genital hyperpigmentation but literally near-zero information available to women, and even less for women of color.
Sorry that you were treated so poorly, you deserve professionalism for medical concerns.

I agree though, I've been more focused on this lately, the 1% get everything because they have the money to advertise to the 99% and tell the 99% to buy what the 1% is selling. There will never be bad press about the 1% because the 1% fund the press and determine what they can and can't publish.

They keep pressuring me into finding a good uni asap and I am so scared of telling them, I do not know how they will take it. I have been trying to get a job so I would have money when I move out and I found one that pays really well but I would have to work nights during weekdays (twice or thrice a week) and they are really frustrated with me for taking it so I do not wanna strain our relationship even more.

I accidentally slapped my boyfriend hard when I was drunk. It was meant to be a playful slap that barely grazed the face, but it came out hard instead. He was clearly viscerally affected by it and I've apologized for it and I've made it so I rarely, if ever, even playfully slap him anymore. He says he forgives me, fine.
I feel terrible about it. I truly did not intend to hurt him, but I did.
That's not even the kicker. The kicker is that when I masturbate, the idea of slapping his face now turns me on immensely. I don't watch porn and I try not to think about slapping him when I'm masturbating. But it's so hot to me. I love the vulnerability he showed me in the moments after me slapping him. His face look so shocked, so hurt, and though that saddens me, especially because I was the one who inflicted the pain on him, it's hot to me that he couldn't help himself from being vulnerable to me in that moment.
I feel sick inside and I wish I didn't find it hot. I wonder if this is how the cycle of abuse gets perpetuated because I was severely abused as a child and by my last partner who liked to make me cry because he found it arousing. I hate myself. I want to tell my boyfriend so he knows what a monster I am, but I also secretly hope he'd be accepting and let us re-enact that, but in a safe way. Even wishing for that makes me feel sick. I feel like a dirty moid and it just want to be good for my partner.

True but there are also cases where more sensitive men can get stuck in abusive relationships where nobody sees anything wrong in the woman hitting them occasionally or more commonly from what I've seen throwing things at them because it's only occasional rather than a full on assault. Less likely to be a situation of being drunkenly beaten bloody but more commonly one element of an overall abusive and manipulative situation. Generally for the man in such a situation there's no support mechanism or fighting back for obvious social reasons and any attempt to take the only option of leaving results in emotional blackmail they're not capable of seeing through because of being male. Even when they finally extract themselves from the situation there's usually a lot of negative social fallout as pressure on them from the abuser.
Or think of it like two cases. First you have the classical case of the drunken man beating a woman repeatedly which can happen the other way around perhaps with a knife or whatever but that's much rarer and is generally far less of a threat when reversed. Then you have the manipulative and calculated use of one-off violence that pretends to be and looks to the victim like a random emotional outburst that the victim will then make up excuses for and fits into a wider pattern of controlling behaviour. The latter type is what you'll see with a female abuser and is obviously a pattern with male abusers as well but nobody would question it that way around and is more like only one tool in an abusive toolkit rather than the abuse itself like with the classical wife beating examples.
If either of these two types of violence was a man hitting a woman it's immediately apparent to anyone on the outside what's happening but not so much the other way around. I've seen from the outside what it looks like when a woman is the abuser so I'm pretty touchy about claims it doesn't matter just because she could realistically only hit him occasionally rather than hospitalise him. The constant threat of any amount of violence as consequence for 'wrong' behaviour is a terrible thing for anyone to live with and it tends to be very difficult for a man in that situation to either defend themselves from it physically or to explain it to anyone with them laughing in their face at best or siding with the abuser at worst, police included.
So yeh it probably won't result in their getting murdered ignoring perhaps mental issues and moral responsibility for a potential suicide but it's usually just the most visible symptom of a more subtly fucked up situation. For what it's worth in my direct experience abusive relationships come in lesbian and gay flavours too and those are also generally excused because the symptoms are far less likely to match up to classical drunken beatings like everyone expects and people are worried about appearing homophobic along with the victim in those relationships not wanting to feed negative images of homosexuality.
Also I'm not denying it's significantly more common that the man would be the abuser because it is but female abusers are more than the statistical anomaly you'd expect in many western nations just at a lower level of (visible) severity. The reason for it being a more western issue isn't anything /pol/ about a degenerating society it's the ironic outcome of a better society with the necessary sensitivity around male domestic abuse because obviously in Saudi Arabia even the most submissive man simply has the option of resorting to unrestrained violence in his defence and as is obvious he will win that fight hands down.
tl;dr abusive relationships are bad and come in a lot more varieties than just someone beating you to death and any amount of violence is a sign of abuse though you can have abuse without violence at all as well

>>38741I highly suspect, if not know, my boyfriend is having an affair. I also suspect he had previous ones as well. Mostly an emotional one with his current one, but the prior ones I've been told were physical as a way to get back at me for me wanting time alone during a convention. I haven't had sex with him in around 7 months after doubting all of it. I'm going to end it tomorrow. I've emotionally checked out months ago when quarantine started and I realized how thankful I am that I don't feel obligated to hang out with him. And how much of a burden it is just to type or call him and how insistent he is for that. How his lack of companionship and affair partners has turned him into a depressive mess so he needs constant affirmations and even the APs are getting tired of it. I think he lied about some of his mental disorder(s), his sexual history, and mostly to himself. He expressed suicidal feelings about 2 weeks ago, and honestly, I think he probably won't. His prior attempt? An attempt at starving himself to death while obese. He didn't even get out of the obese territory.
I want someone who's honest, loyal, and doesn't belittle me to suit their own ego. He's not worth the grief. Nobody's worth grief, I just want a loving relationship. I'm for sure going to find one.

I didn't expect my post to gain so much traction.
>>40383To an onlooker, it would have looked like a playful slap that resulted in more pain than intended. There was no bruising or red marks. I immediately apologized and explained I would not try to play slap him again. It was a big deal for us and we talked about it the next day. I still check in on it as he likes being dominated (he has mentioned that since we first started having sex) and I don't want to trigger him. I have looked for gifs of what my previous "play" slaps look like and they all look too hard for how I would do it. They'd barely graze the skin. In this situation, I misjudged where my hand was going and his head was moving at the same time so it went onto his cheek.
I have never shown any violent tendencies towards other people in my life, I've never hit or scratched anyone.
Maybe I am missing something but when I hear the term "beat", I think of a full on attack like one of my friends suffered. Her boyfriend was drunk and literally punched her face in and it was bruised for weeks. Maybe this has colored my view on the matter, but I really wasn't upset or anything, he kept in trying to grab my drink from me (we often share drinks) and I wasn't done yet and I kept on pulling it away, so then I tried to give one of my playful slaps (think of those "omgg josh, stop throwing my phone" stupid girl lite slaps that barely even graze the face) and it didn't end that way.
I think it's terrible what happened and I don't want it to happen again.
I should have been more careful. I don't know what else to say. It wasn't repeated and I'm very sad I gave my boyfriend this experience to remember, and it came from me.
>>40411Okay. I can't change your mind.
>>40423Yes, I'm aware of that double standard. My bf and I have talked about that. We've talked about this incident extensively and he tells me not to worry about it anymore and that he knows it was accidental. I still do, of course, hence my post in this thread.
>>40398Oh yes, I think if anything he wishes we were more GFD but the truth is, I have issues with trying to be dominant because I'm afraid of the fact men could overpower me at a moment's notice.
I suspect in the far future it might be possible, but I value him too much to want to bring it up now. My priority is that he feel safe with me and I know that needs time to be established again.
Anonymous 40439

You would not dismiss it simply as an accident were the genders reversed and the situation identical and in fact even the threat of a man raising his hand to a woman is sufficient for most people to label it as abuse and rightly so. The fact that the potential for further violence after the 'accident' is different doesn't make the initial violent act any more excusable. As I said I've seen where this logic can end up because the fact one party can be restrained more easily presupposes they intend to continue into a full assault instead of simply use violence once in a specific targeted manner.

>>40438>Maybe I am missing something but when I hear the term "beat", I think of a full on attack like one of my friends suffered. Her boyfriend was drunk and literally punched her face in and it was bruised for weeks.My point was that this happens and is often the primary type of abuse in and of itself but that even comparatively minor violence can be part of a pattern of abuse too. You can think of it like on the one hand abuse that is primarily physical aka your conception of the term beat and abuse which is primarily manipulative of which physical abuse is merely one aspect. Obviously it's not so clear cut because even primarily physical abuse will usually have other more subtle elements too.
I also wasn't necessarily accusing you of that type of abuse but more responding to the other anon by explaining what I've seen directly and that direct experience was mostly because I was the only person who didn't laugh at the man when he tried to explain it and I'll admit I initially didn't think it was a big deal either. 'You could just have stopped her hitting you again/hit her back harder so stop complaining' really is not a response when someone explains a pattern of violence to you even if it's technically true and again violence there was really just the most extreme symptom.
By the way if you've never been slapped particularly hard in the face there's a real difference between a play slap and when even a little bit of strength is used far out of proportion to what you'd expect. It's a shockingly different and very specific type of not just pain but disorientation out of proportion to any lasting damage it might do which probably accounts for his reaction as much as emotional shock does. In some ways it can be more immediately disorientating than being punched with the same level of force. If I had to take a guess that's probably because it hits a larger surface area or because it can affect the eyes or something. If you're not sure you can judge the strength to use you should really avoid slapping someone's face or account for the fact you might overdo it even in a sexual situation where there's consent and never when alcohol or drugs might mess with your judgement. Ditto when spanking someone particularly if using a harder implement as aiming slightly too high can do some fairly serious damage to their spine and lower back. Read up on these things if you intend to do anything sexual like that.

I'm getting really tired of everything. No matter what I do, I feel so empty and so bored. I have no hobbies and I have nothing interesting to do to pass time. If I try something new I hate it so much because of how boring it is. My future seems bleak and I think I should just drop out of college because I've grown to hate my major and I just want to end everything already. My life is only filled with thoughts of me wanting to kill myself. My memory's a bit fogged up too so I can't even remember anything good from when I used to actually be happy. I want to commit suicide but at the same time I don't because I want to be happy but I know that I will never be happy. I don't even know what will bring me happiness. My family situation isn't the worst, but it isn't the best. I have no actual friends that I hang out with or talk to. I have nothing to do with my spare time. It's getting difficult to find motivation to even go to college and it all seems to much for me. I've thought about going to therapy but I want to own a gun if I actually don't commit suicide so it's best that I don't get any mental illnesses reported. Also, don't reply to this telling me to go to therapy or to talk about my feelings with close friends and family because I don't have anyone close to me. The last time I got a message from someone was about a month ago and it was meant for someone else lol. Sometimes I think that I should do a double suicide with someone.

If so, the only way mental illness would affect your ability to buy a gun is if you were ever involuntarily committed to a mental institution or were declared mentally incompetent by the state. HIPPA laws mean that there's no way anything you say or do in a psychiatric or therapy session can be made public unless you demonstrate a clear and present danger to yourself or others.
You literally have nothing to lose trying therapy and meds. The worst that happens is that you waste your time (which you already admit you're doing anyway), or you end up deciding to buy a gun and kill yourself anyway (which you already admit you're considering).

>>40629Money that you'll need after you kill yourself? Honestly I share your skepticism about therapy since in my experience a large chunk of it is dedicated to helping relatively healthy people deal with basic emotional problems instead of actually treating mental illness but you don't enjoy the way that you feel since otherwise you wouldn't be contemplating suicide so it's worth pursuing something at the very least. Rationally you probably understand that this is an illness and therefore if the circumstances are correct you'll be able to feel joy again but depression interferes with your thought process so instead of pursuing that your mind leads to killing yourself. Of course it's one thing to realize that rationally if you do the right things you can escape your depression and another to actually muster the energy to do so when literally nothing brings you joy but it's either that or kill yourself and if you can muster the energy to plan out your suicide you can muster the energy to seek help

>>40629I live in Florida which has particularly strict laws about involuntary commitment, so it's a state by state thing. But in general, the only thing I could see you saying that will get you involuntarily hospitalized is if you say that you're going to kill yourself soon and that you have an actionable plan to do it, like if you told them that you have a gun or that you're going to drive your car off a bridge. Just saying that you wish you were dead wouldn't be enough to get you committed.
There doesn't have to be deep, underlying trauma for mental problems, and most modern therapy doesn't take that view. It's a complex mix of neurochemical issues, patterns of thought, and your surrounding pressures. All good therapy will do is try to discern what your likely neurochemical issues you have, what patterns of thought you've built that are negatively affecting you, what your surrounding circumstances are doing to your mental health, and help you reach a space to start making changes across all of those things. Dealing with your past is only helpful if you think it's relevant to how you're feeling now.
You are right though that there can be a lot of bad experiences with therapists because it's a treatment that requires a personal connection by definition, so you'd have to find the kind of person you could make that connection with. They're possible to find though, and all that involves is recognizing if someone doesn't seem to be clicking with you and trying someone else.
>>40636I feel you about your money situation. I lost my insurance, but thankfully my therapist is letting me see him half price and my psychiatrist has reduced rates for the uninsured.

Look at it this way: I was essentially the king of an empire of influence and pain similar to The Crow (which lasted MORE than 30 hours) that I also did not want anymore of since I made that shoujo style comic in 2017. You have basically inherited that throne to the point even I will be inspired by you when the right time comes. Take advantage of it however you want (or can, from what I've experienced) since it is something that will give you thick skin when you are ready to give it up (because I am not just talking on behalf of me when I tell you that you are going to WANT to give it up at the right time).

is the christmas cake thing just incel memes or should I just go ahead and buy 12 cats now? but i'm not joking, i'm actually really upset. men in their low and mid 20s just want to screw around and play bachelor, so unless i wanted to marry a guy 15 years older than me… i mean what the fuck are we supposed to do with that? why are men like this? i don't want to marry a creepy old man! but guys who were my age never wanted to settle down until now and now I am the one feeling pressure about running out of time. i hate this, fuck this shit. moids should all be forcibly married at age 22 before they can go insane and pussy-crazed and act like horny dogs all over the fucking place. disgusting fucking sleep-around skanky men. they are willing to waste a decade trying to stick their dick in as many holes as possible, and the SAD, SAD, SAD thing is that after sacrificing chances with a perfect girl who would have married them and a decade of happiness with a long term spouse, all they get for it is MAYBE 5 lousy one-nights with mediocre randoms. why do men do this? god, i just want to start taking a baseball bat to every moid i see. starting at age 20 they should just be beaten up every day until they learn humility and gratitude.

>>40847That's the way sexual liberation works. The top tier of both genders sleeps around constantly because they can always get someone new and novelty trumps stability. You personally see it more in men because they're willing to have casual sex 'down' more often and the men who don't partake have long since turned to either extreme political ideology, the tranny meme or have given up on society entirely. Like think of it as the top 20% of men and women will both be constantly having casual sex but the top 20% of women won't ever fuck anything below where they rate themselves while the top 20% of men, being less picky, will happily take a one night stand with almost any woman who offers and they view as reasonably attractive.
Probably you got yourself stuck into shitty circles that partake in that behaviour like university students/graduates where the handful who don't will have paired of very early on. Also living in an urban area past your early 20s when you're not in a serious long term relationship is another indicator for taking the convenient short term route.

But not before going "I see" and going from passive aggressive to just flat out rude to me. I try and give this guy so many chances but as soon as I try and talk about what he did calmly and without raising my voice he just gets upset at me, views the smallest thing as a personal attack and leaves.

I didn't enjoy The Force Awakens as much as The Last Jedi, I just felt that Rian Johnson should've made another film after Looper instead of a Star Wars film since, as enjoyable and fun as TLJ was, he was obviously not even hiding how creatively exhausted he was (particularly in The Gorilla AT ATs and Snoke's unpolished death scene imo) in trying to go from one Sci-fi film after another.

I haven't seen Looper, though I've heard it's good. I wonder how much was Johnson being tired of sci-fi and how much might have been tiredness with Star Wars as a franchise. TLJ had those self-conscious questions that come from when someone starts to think that the rules of a setting are stifling genuine creativity: Does the Force need to be solely owned by the Jedi and the Sith? Does there have to be an Empire and Rebellion? Do we have to keep playing these same stories of good vs evil forever? All of those are great questions to ask, but a little cruel to force another director to answer in the sequel to your movie.

>>40979I still need to see the original trilogy completely.
It's good but it has that grit you'd usually expect from a foreign director like Nicolas Winding Refn or even Bong Joon-Ho, in a scene or two, for a time travel film.
It's hard to tell since he did confirm he was set to write and direct three years prior to TLJ's release, though I can recall Rogue One explored the force more with Chirrut in terms of whether he could use it or not.
As for everything else it's like any generation: the more time passes the more intricacies arise. Even Lucas himself thought that the only thing he would have to worry about when directing the new trilogy, after a 16 year hiatus, is how impressive the effects would look. But he hadn't even directed a film himself alone since A New Hope. What did people expect from someone emerging out of cinematic hibernation since the 70s in 1999?
And this was just 21 years ago. The best way I can describe Rian Johnson's choice to tackle a Star Wars movie, compared to Abrams, is that scene where Bender and Brian argue over the ceramic elephant in The Breakfast Club:
https://www.moviequotedb.com/movies/breakfast-club-the/quote_4407.html with Johnson being Brian (kek, they have the same last name) who had only directed original work and thought making a sequel would be easy, while Abrams, despite only having made just one original movie, wasn't as cocky and DEFINITELY knew more about directing as much adaptations and sequels and was used to the backlash that came with it the same was Bender was used to all the backlash of being the criminal in the group.

>>40994Having the OT under your belt is critical, if only because it gives so much context to what the prequels and sequels are biting and ripping off.
I couldn't remember the name of any character from Rogue One if my life depended on it, other than Forest Whittaker saying "bogalit." But yeah, that dude was the most exciting idea in terms of opening up the ideology from the rigid binaries of the series. It's a whole ass galaxy and a whole ass universal life essence, and there's really only two ways every single person on every single planet could interpret it?
But that said, as much as I think Johnson's heart was in the right place, I think the real problem is just that Star Wars as a mythology is inherently limiting. The core of what makes it what it is is the light side and dark side, the Rebels and the Empire, the Hero's journey through strange worlds (which, after over 40 years, aren't so strange anymore) to discover their place within the prophecies of good triumphing over evil. Those rules can be bent, but they can't break without making something alienating to a lot of people, especially the kids that many people were when they first watched Star Wars. (Though seeing the results of breaking long established rules can be a meaningful experience, like KOTOR 2, but certainly not for a mainline series.) As adults, we have to either accept being told the same stories over and over or accept that we need to move on, like you're saying with you and Abrams as a director.
I think all this movie talk might be undermining the spirit of the vent thread though.

I'm so depressed that I think about suicide every single day and have done so since I was a child. I'm not stupid, I can get myself out of bad situations, I just can't get into any good ones. Every path I look into is impossible for some reason or other when I get far enough down it. everything i want is ripped from my grasp. everywhere i want to go is fenced off and barred. everyone else can have things, and so easily, but i can't have anything at all.
So nothing in particular just the stress getting a little too loud to ignore. I've been sobbing all day today. life is just too difficult and i can't keep my head above water, and everyone i meet does everything in their power to assist in drowning me.

>You will know someone is truly good when they act out of kindness without wanting anything in return
Or they're playing the long game.
I occasionally do nice things for the people I know, helping them without compensation or giving them gifts, things like that. But I do still get something out of it, in that it improves their opinion of me and makes them more likely to help me in the future if I ever need it.
I've never really felt any kind of emotional satisfaction from helping people or doing good deeds or anything like that.

>I'm not stupid, I can get myself out of bad situationsI know this may not sound like it's very comforting, but this is a much bigger skill than it seems. A lot of life is chaos and luck, and there are a lot of good people who could have ended up somewhere better than they are now if they didn't get their feet caught in the swamp of something bad. I'm not gonna bullshit you and say it gets better because it doesn't really feel like it has for me neither, but the bare minimum requirement of getting something good is knowing how to keep away from the bad.

>>41044I've had people that I've spent a lot of time with, who I'm sure consider me a friend, but I'm not certain that I regard them as my own friends because I've never felt the desire to go out of my way to see or talk to any of them, except occasionally as a means to an end for some possible event or activity.
There were people I spoke with in high school literally every day to whom I haven't said a single word since graduating. Same thing with the people I knew in college. I just haven't felt any desire to reach out to anyone in particular even though I have all their contact information and everything. Now that I'm no longer in school, I don't really ever speak to anyone except the immediate family I live with and the customers at my job to whom I give canned greetings and such.
I've suspected in the past that I might have schizoid personality disorder or something.
Being saddled with the desire for a romantic relationship as well as the inability to form one would be a pretty cruel twist of fate, though.

I just turned 18 a week ago and I was hoping to go to a therapist once I am an adult since my parents wouldn't let me go, but then I realized that the sessions are covered by medical insurance(europe) and my parents would probably see the insurance paying for some kind of medical professional. I was really really hoping to get better but I do not even know anymore, I just spent the last week half-drunk cause I just feel so lost now, no one will ever help me get better.

I don't know why I even bother being sad or complaining about being a virgin hag when I still spend my free time watching bl and shipping videos.
I just never found a normal man attractive, I either want to become famous and able to date cute celebrity boys or stay a single fangirl forever. I know that I wouldn't be content with an average dude, I wouldn't be able to stop dreaming for somebody more handsome and exciting. Do other women just stop being fujos/fangirls after they meet their guy or how does this work?
My only hope is that I can spend all the extra time I have thanks to not dating all these years to better myself (in looks, talents, etc) and then someday maybe get a man who's goodlooking enough and not completely bland who makes me forget about my previous hobbies and dreams…

Thank you for acknowledging it. If kids who are from normal loving middle class families, who receive love, support, care, encouragement, guidance, etc, they can look at some rich kid with connections who got ivy league education and private tutoring, and they feel like it's an unfair advantage, right? Well, the gap between a trust fund kid and a normal middle class kid is the same as the gap between a normal kid and an abused kid. But it's not as visible, and normal kids don't have empathy for anyone under them, so no one cares. If I even reveal the fact I'll be ostracised and people don't even realize how horrible that is, because no one ever told them it was. There's all sorts of anti-discrimination based on gender and race, but as for class there's blatant open discrimination against poor kids, and everyone victim blames abused kids. I've had parents snatch my friends away from me because they all said I was a "bad influence." I was a straight-A student who loved reading and nature. But I was dressed in rags with holes in them, so they acted like I was a leper who would get their kid hooked on meth.
And just having a loving, supportive family is a HUGE benefit people don't appreciate because they take it for granted. You're comparing healthy people with a support network to people who started their adult life with crippling mental disorders and have no one to turn to. I simply lost about 5 years of my young-adult life merely trying to "fix" myself to the point where I could function in daily life. In today's hyper competitive world that meant I was fucked from the start. It's really hard to get into a fancy top-company internship when you can't even speak to someone in the college admin office without starting to cry. I'm fine NOW but I'm very, very far behind my peers. Just consider how often people ask their parents for help or advice and understand that would never be an option for me.

convince workplace HR teams that introverts are not actually lepers, make it as socially unacceptable to ask about someone's parents as it is to ask about their sexual preference, better education about college/internships/careers etc for kids/teens/young adults who need it, education that encouraging abused kids to love their parents anyway or to "reconnect" with them is a really fucked up concept. just throwing money at it won't really do much, most charity of any type just gets stolen by admin. i was hoping social justice and inclusivity would be about neurodiversity instead of just racial/sexual checkboxes tbqfh but i expected too much of humanity.
some kind of free socialization therapy for neglected/abused kids would be nice too, but hell, we can't even get medical care in this country, let alone mental care. there's really nothing to be done. maybe more books like harry potter to raise awareness/acceptance.

>Near-work activities, such as reading, writing, computer use, and playing video games, have been suggested to be possibly responsible for the remarkable increase in the prevalence of myopia as well as increased odds for myopia. However, there also have been some studies reporting a weak or absent association between heavier load of near work and the prevalence or incidence of myopia, especially early myopia.>Outdoor activity, as either a potential prophylactic measure or a possible risk factor, has aroused considerable interest. Although it is still not clear whether outdoor activity can help prevent the onset and progression of myopia, several recent epidemiological studies suggested that greater time spent outdoors might be associated with reduced prevalence of myopia. The underlying mechanism of this association remains poorly understood. [

I'm sick of having crushes and doing nothing about them. I worked with a guy about three weeks back when we got rostered in the same department together (though I had first met him around 2 months back) and it was just us talking and laughing and shit. He's really cute and he made me feel really funny and desirable because he would laugh at things I would say and we met on the same level in our conversations. He seemed genuinely interested in me - asked about my favourite movies, work, bantered with me etc. And after only this one shift did I start to develop feelings which is pretty copey. But I know I'm not likely to get another chance to talk to him openly in that setting again, so I kinda fucked my chances in getting his social media or whatnot. It pisses me off every time I think about what I could have said to him to get to know more about him, or to ask for his fb/whatever, but I blew my chances. I saw him the next day when I clocked out and he was clocking in and I felt the feelz which is when I knew I was fucked. I just wanna get opportunities to talk to him but I know it's not up to me. It's probably just infatuation bc what he showed me in terms of personality was something I'd been missing from guys in my life and I wanted it, but it's all I've been able to think about lately.

>>41251Good, and I hope it fucking destroys his life. I pray she takes literally everything he has in a divorce or settlement.
>>4125240 or so. Unsure.

>go to board train
>guy and me try for the same door at the same time, we both stop
>i hope he will go but he just stands there looking at me, then he lifts his leg up and kicks me
>was wearing shitty sweatpants so not concerned, didn't hurt, I just get in, like, okay
>sit towards side, the very end exit is apparently blocked off due to corona, however reducing the # of exits can help with that I don't know, but sure
>so between me and the remaining exit that guy sits down in the middle of the floor and sprawls out
>riding, notice he's out of it, moaning and grabbing his head and crawling around muttering
>keep watching him, trying to see if he has any weapons, have pepper spray in my pocket
>i'm actually seated sideways (always like this so i don't feel like i'm moving backwards) so i'm the only one who can see this guy
>he takes out a butterfly knife and starts flicking it open and closed
>grab pepper spray and check it
>ride continues, i can't get off without passing this guy who is sprawled across the center aisle, no way around him
>other guy sitting behind me, while the knife guy has his back turned i use a gesture and mouth "knife" to him, flick my eyes back and forth to the guy
>passenger gets the message and we start trying to figure out what to do
>at the next stop i try the blocked off door behind me, but it doesn't open (real nice for safety, really, amazing job)
>knife guy eventually gets up and stands further down, facing out, using some kind of drug
>i can get around behind him without being noticed now
>next stop me and passenger book it out
>obviously call 911 to report it
>woman is dismissive, asks, "well did he actually threaten or stab anyone?"
>reply, "no, i suppose he was just standing around flipping a butterfly knife open for fun," in the most sarcastic tone i can muster
>repeat that he kicked me when i was boarding
>she gets the message and takes a description, says will alert the police
EXCUSE ME BUT WTF
and in hind sight, the pepper spray would have been pretty useless. best bet would have been to get him to stab my grocery bag and push past him to get out. why do things like this happen to me i just wanted to buy groceries. literally anemic and on my period, too, just the worst

>>41240>>41241he hasn't been disloyal and doesn't mind taller girls at all. it could definitely still work out!! we do live together and have been together for 2 years.
at the beginning he seemed like a normal guy with anxiety and i found out he regularly lied, especially about himself & his past. i caught on and called him out over time.
he was a different person for sure – he even said he feels like he "tricked me" into the relationship.
i don't really know what to do best he
is improving, but i don't know if any romantic feelings will come back. it's like i've had to teach him to be an adult :- /

>>41249You kinda sound like a crazy bitch tbh. The guy has a right to a personal life and to fuck who he wants. Yeah it sucks he turned out to be a Nazi but that might be bad judgment on your part. Just let the guy live his life. Also
>the fact he chose an ageing receptionist over a girl his own ageLol

tfw so bad at communication that i've tried 3 times to vent on something entirely different than not being able to express myself so i just made this vent instead

>>41256I think you should try wearing heels around him. If he doesn't mind then there's no reason not to.
>anxious>lied>had to teach him to be an adultSounds like the same person to me, anon. Did he lie and say he was a badass or something?
Anonymous 41269
>>41268he lied about past cheating and all of the friends he had that he slept with before. turned out to also be an alcoholic. :- /
i had to teach him to be an adult because he doesn't schedule things, do chores, cook, etc. he was born with mommy and daddy money.

>>41268thank you for your help btw <3 i just bought some heels to overcome it!!
i hope the universe sends some real answers my way soon but i guess i'll just have to have patience.

>>41269>>41272I don't know about trusting a cheater, but has he stayed away from alcohol lately? If so, it might just work out!

It's because threads are never pushed off the board. They can only be filled, or exist awaiting replies forever.
Anonymous 43296
>>43251>>43259It's also because there's a lot less traffic here
Feels has 43k messages in 3ish years so really small
It's also easy to be scrolling through the catalogue, see a thread, make a post before seeing that the last post was months or years ago
Anonymous 43309
>>43296The solution to that is to just automatically lock threads when they reach a certain age, if not a certain post count.
Anonymous 43315
>>43309I think the best method would be to lock or archive threads once they've been inactive for a week.
At that point of we want to bring up an old subject when can just make a new thread
Anonymous 43318
>>43250why bump to say this? they've probably migrated to the new vent thread now
Anonymous 43319
>>43259This could easily be solved by limiting the number of threads per a board from 950 to 100~150
>>43296Traffic is not the problem. 4chan/a/ has only 100 threads up at at time, for some godforsaken reason, admin thinks boards need 950 max threads. We certainly don't have 9.5 times the number of users 4chan has, I have no clue why we need this number of threads open at one time.
>>433158chan already does this with each thread being archived once it falls off the board. No need to lock threads, just reduce the number of threads per a board and archive threads that fall off.

>>43319I can decrease the comment limit, please weigh in here:
>>>/meta/3057However, archiving threads in the sense that you're describing isn't possible with our current platform, they have to be manually locked - which is something we can start doing. I just think it'll lead to having the same basic conversations at the start of each new incarnation of a thread.
