Everyone talks crap about others, don't fall for the moid PR campaign that they "don't gossip" because it's a total lie. Moids can be some of the most catty bitches out there. True friends are hard to come by but sex isn't gonna determine whether someone is a snake or not

everyone talks shit about each other. when men do, it's acceptable, though, when women do it, they're seen as shitheads.

why do people talk shit? they don't want to offend but still be honest (To at least someone)

me too :( but i keep meeting the pickmes who try to compete for male attention, and see every girl as a potential threat. i've met some sweet girls, but it's difficult for me to befriend them unless they're super extroverted because i won't initiate.

I feel like my LDR boyfriend is super condescending. Shit like adorable/cute should be seen as a compliment, but it feels so dismissive when I'm talking about something serious that I'm passionate about, and he just goes, "haha, that's so adorable," and is constantly comparing me to stupid cartoon characters. He also acts very "parental" sometimes, which grosses me out. He treats me like a child, and I dislike it. I don't like when people do not take me seriously.

How do you know if your parents were emotionally abusive or if you're the one who is toxic to them? Everyone I can find online asking this type of question lists something obviously super abusive, but I was never hit or insulted, and I wasn't unloved or anything, so I don't know why I feel like this.

I wish this place was less straight. Not because I'm anti-heterosexuality or something, I'm not even true 100% lesbian, but I'm pretty much only physically attracted to women. All the moidlust here reminds me of feeling like an outsider back in school when all the other girls were going on about hot guys and I didn't get it.

I'm so tired of feeling ugly, I know realistically I'm not but I just don't like anything I see in the mirror anymore. No matter how hard I try to make my clothes and hair look nice I hate everything and never feel confident anymore. I feel like no one notices me in public anymore.

The thing is, my skin is clear and I work out and really like beauty stuff as a hobby so i can't even glow up because this is the best I can do. Is this how I'm going to feel forever?

when am i going to make amends with my social retardation. i mean it's been a constant thing since high-school, and i just want to finally accept me being an outcast (among outcasts) and stop getting so jittery and disjointed – i can't call this vibe depression – whenever people inevitably like someone else more than they'll ever like me, or when i go ignored in group chats, or when nobody approaches me for anything (like they approach other people!), or any multitude of things that come about when a connection with people is weak at best, and usually nonexistent.

i feel art is a good way to escape this loneliness but fuck i suck at drawing and have no real know-how on how to improve. i'm already in uni, but to be honest with you i'm worried i'll suck ass at my major and be leagues behind everyone that 'just gets it'.

I'm still lurking in a discord server for a mobile game I said I'd leave last year. I ignored the whole situation and quit the game until now, but I want to leave peacefully so it's not awkward when we eventually match up in teams or see each other in world chat. I don't know if I should dm one of the members I used to be friends with and tell him I'm leaving and then block him and the server so they don't possibly retaliate from anger or leave just like that and risk the chance of running into them in other games we all mostly play, becoming friends and realizing its them. They know my name due to an accident so I think I'm justifiably being paranoid when some are men 5+ years older then me.

One where the server admin added back a guy who was harassing and dming all the female members because "he deserves a second chance" but we didn't want to complain or he'd have a tantrum and ban people/ leave for 2 months. And guys would stay up late talking to this 14yo girl who's STILL there bullying people like the first day she joined while 25yo guys enable her and probably groom her :(. I thought maybe everything is innocent and I'm overreacting but their public nsfw channel only privated when I specifically told them to revise the rules and stop talking about stuff with a literal minor.
I know I was dumb and and should've left when my actual game friends left, I've just been scared because I was 18,accidentally showed my name and said some private info and the admin caused unnecessary drama with people so I didn't want to make myself a target. I'm gonna stand for myself and flat out leave pls pray for my existence

I've tried therapy but after I see the same therapist for a while I just start lying to them because I don't want to disappoint them by doing badly. I know it's a psychological issue and it's not normal to get upset and embarrassed by looking in the mirror, but I only started feeling this way once covid depression combined with winter depression. I hope once vaccines roll out and it gets warmer I'll be normal again. I'm already on too many meds so idk what else any external influence can do for me.

Does anyone know if shitty posture and a childhood spent sitting on your arse playing vidya can hamper the development of your figure? I always considered myself a busty curvy gal. Now that I've lost weight my boobs are pretty average and the small waist+big hips are still there but my butt is beyond pancakey. I never carried fat there even when I was a fat fuck so I was always insecure about it but jfc it's horrible now. From the side I look like a little boy and it's humiliating going out in public which makes me want to scream because the whole reason I lost weight was to feel good about myself and feel like a normal person.

I've always had a serious inferiority complex and have always felt the need to show everyone I'm perfect so this shit is eating me alive. I can't stand the thought of just being born a lesser woman when it comes to my appearance so the way I cope is by telling myself I must have fucked up my butt development by being lazy and having bad posture as a kid instead of it being genetics. It's not like I can ask my family if it comes from them. But god does it hurt to have worked so hard to improve myself only to come out of it still looking like shit.

Anonymous 49458

Anon, take solice in the fact that a lot of people are quietly miserable in their friend groups even when they're socially adept. People these days are too scared to be without friends so they stick with others even when they don't actually like them all that much and when it's clear those "friends" would betray them in a heartbeat if enough was in it for them. Of course it's good to have friends but being sociable and having friends often doesn't amount to that much happiness for most people, socially awkward or not.

Rotting away in my parents house, getting older turning 28 (god I’m old), my crazy abusive mother won’t let me go outside bc of the covid bs, in love with an emotionally unavailable distant guy who obviously doesn’t want anything to do with me, no friends, shitty job, shitty car, seeing all these racist fucks everywhere esp on the internet but the worst part is my brain and my depression telling me things won’t get any better. I just want to end it all but I’m too much of a wimp to go through with it. I don’t know what to do. I thought manifesting and law of attraction will help me but I can’t manifest for shit lmao.

vent- after you’ve had so many one sided relationships whether it’s friendships/relationships/family or whatever and you finally have one where they care about you equally it’s SO hard to accept their comfort. Whenever I show negative emotions and they cheer me up or something I feel so guilty since I’m so used to people just writing off my emotions. I know this shouldn’t be a super big issue but I wish I could be vulnerable about what i’m upset about without assuming they’re gonna think I’m an awful person & leave me. I’m just so worried they’re going to think i’m a nuisance eventually, I really don’t think I deserve them sometimes.

I remember feeling somewhat like that, when i still was smoking and hanging out with my "friends". Eventually i grew tired of my lifestyle and decided to take my life in a better direction, i had to cut my smoking buddies loose, they were talking about their problems too much, while probably thinking that my life is carefree, when in reality i'm simply bad at talking how i feel, most of the time i don't know myself. So their negativity was piling up in me, while i couldn't vent my own. It took me some time to get rid of that company, because i'm weak like that, but pandemic helped and now i feel great!

I have recently realized that in my entire life I have never been passionate about anything, or cared about anything beyond "yeah I like it/them ig" and I sort of don't know what to do with that. How am I supposed to try at life and do my best when there is no long-term incentive for me from anything? Is this some mental problem or have I just not found something good for me or… I am pretty sure it is not depression since I feel quite fine mentally, but I do not know what could be the cause of this and it is driving me nuts.

I aspire to re-learn mathematics (my knowledge ends at Pre-Algebra), and learn coding, and become a programmer/cybersecurity expert… but I'm at rock bottom right now. I was groomed and kidnapped as a child (pretty intense shit, yes,), I have debilitating PTSD. It took over my life, and I became overwhelmed by my mental illness that I had to drop out of school in grade 7 despite being one of those "gifted burnouts," that was told I would achieve great things. I want to rebuild my life & education, but I have to start from the ground up, and it's so deterring to see people who had a more traditional learning experience breeze through without having to try. I got a GED, and I will push myself to succeed because I have no other options, and I don't wanna be a basement dwelling NEET anymore at 22. I know I had potential, but did I lose it? I'm scared of failing, and realizing I lost my momentum. I'm just an average IQ nobody, but I hope I come to be good at something in the future… Something I'm proud of. I don't want to be a shell of the person I once was anymore.

I really enjoy inflicting pain onto others, I love being the bearer of bad news, I love when my friends or just random people online are going through some tragedy, and I don't mind awful things happening to me because I think "at least it's interesting". I wonder what's wrong with me (beyond the obvious)

I'm really attracted to my special friend and I wish I could lose my lip virginity to him. And, y'know, my regular virginity too.

I wonder if we would even still be only friends if we could do those things, I'm shy to admit I really like the idea of being his girlfriend….. he'd make a really cute little boyfriend. Only time will tell. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford to close the distance between us, pandemic permitting.

I already feel so happy that I'm his friend at all, he's been really good for me and what we shared the other night was really something special.

this is utterly retarded but i'm seething over the fact that if either of my parents won the lottery, they probably would only give me like, one million dollars. one million dollars out of a mega billion ticket because they're assholes

Anonymous 49726

So my guy says he sees porn as degenerate and gross because he's sick of it in terms of how it's plastered everywhere and he says he doesn't watch it anymore. I feel like a dick because internally, I feel "that's nice of you to say sweetie, I don't for a second believe that no matter what beliefs you may have". I feel like I should give him the benefit of the doubt and believe him. But it's almost like I'd rather know my guy watches porn than live in a fairyland where he doesn't.

Plus, just because he doesn't watch porn doesn't mean he's not jerking it off to "soft" core porn, or regular pictures of women. But then again, I'm known to be paranoid, so I feel like I'm a jerk for assuming he is getting off to other things.

He never was pornsick and he loves having sex with me. he only watched porn when I wasn't at his house (to my knowledge).

Man, I really can't be pleased. BPD is a helluva drug.

Oh, he is very genuine in his beliefs. He's discussed it a few times but only this time did he say he had been done with porn for a while. That's kind of why I have trouble, he was critical of it before, but he still participated in watching it. Now he's even more anti-porn in that he thinks there are problems with sex positivity, especially with sex workers, and he added in this discussion he's been done watching it. So I guess I'm just a bit cynical because of the past. Paranoia is the name of my game and he hasn't shown himself to be degenerate in other ways, so I think I am being unfair to him.

Either way, I care about him and I'm glad he's reached this conclusion.

Mine doesn't use porn because when he was a coomer teen he used it too much and ended up watching just out of boredom so he dropped it altogether, but I'm still skeptical because it sounds like really he developed porn addiction and got out just in time. Now he uses his imagination but in an idiot moment he let it slip that he sometimes jerks off thinking of other women (real and fictional) and even though that's to be expected it really turned me off of him and I haven't been able to be intimate with him since then which, of course, makes me feel like I'm gonna make it worse.

Someone from my course at uni has applied for a higher role at my company and has an interview with my boss but 1) we have the same qualifications and experience and 2) she’s a massive fucking dick who made me feel super competitive and stressed out all the time, literally super privileged and rich so didn’t have to work through uni whilst I had to work 30 hours a week on top of studying and going to class, and would ask me what grades I got constantly only to tell me she did better.

Anonymous 49750

I don't recommend to interfere with the process. At work you are expected to put your personal differences aside and be professional. It will make you look bad if you tell your boss unless you were asked first. Even if that is the case start by telling them something positive about her education (she has the same as you so that will be good for you too) and then you can mention something about her behaviour.
If she does end up getting the job I would recommend to avoid her as much as possible. If you have to interact with her try to have another coworker around. She will have to be nice or the coworker will notice her behaviour as well.

Anonymous 49761

I really appreciate the conversation and advice from my post >>49744

All very good points. It turns out it’s a position equal to mine, I found this out subtly. If she gets the job I’ll be civil but keep my head down and focused so she doesn’t drag me into any drama. If she doesn’t get the job then that’s amazing.
I’m also aware the way I spoke about it indicates that perhaps I’m jealous of the advantages she has in life, so I will be doing a lot of self reflection around that and seeing how I can be a better person.

Agree. It's okay to admit women are usually weaker than men; this isn't demeaning to us. Humans are also weaker than bears but that doesn't make humans lesser as a whole than bears.
However, it does put responsibility on men. I am gentle around smaller women since I could hurt them more easily, so men should be with us. If they take the risk of hitting a woman it should be seen as intentional damage as they know their strength and are responsible for controlling it.

I feel like in society too much emphasis is put on "don't hit women because women are special and fragile" and not enough emphasis is put on the simple fact that testosterone aside, larger people in general are a lot stronger than smaller people. Men just happen to be a lot larger than women on average, is all.
If you're a foot taller and 100+ lbs of muscle heavier than the other person and you put all your weight into a punch, you have a serious chance of landing them in the hospital or killing them. It's the whole reason weight classes are a thing in professional fighting.

God that reminds me of something only tangentially related but I'm gonna post. A few years ago a friend of mine had some very classy photos taken of her in lingerie, the outfit was really tame (pic related) and the posing/mood/lightning was soft and dreamy rather than erotic and sensual. She gave a little print of the photo to her then-bf.

Fast forward to 2020, she has a new bf and the ex is stalking her and trying to establish contact to the new guy. She tells me she's afraid that the ex might bring up the picture. I ask why that would be a problem and she says her new bf is very possessive and he would hate that her ex has something that he doesn't… it's such bullshit, they only just started dating so of course he hasn't reached all the levels of intimacy yet that she shared with her ex. The new bf basically felt that if she had done something with her ex then she owed it to him as well. Disgusting.

I think I may have pissed off my friend or something, I've noticed that I'm getting outright ignored even when I told him this was my time off. Feels kinda bad and I wish he'd just outright tell me what's wrong if he is unhappy with something I've done.

Like, I kind of know a couple of the reasons on what it could be that he's avoiding me over but I don't want to go full-on psycho and address any of them when it could really just be that he's busy with other things or wanting a break away from me, since he has so many other friends to juggle and I honestly don't.

I just want quick confirmation on whether he's cool with what I've worked on or if he admits he regrets inviting me into a thing, which I would understand but admittedly be a bit disappointed over. But even more than disappointment, I'd be happy that he was honest and upfront with me about his feelings.

I hate being paranoid, I wish I could kill my paranoia forever.
I've also been super pickme lately and that's probably repelled him.

I'll do exactly that if he still isn't responsive for a couple days after what I've poked him with this morning. We have a planned thingy Friday together with others (if he doesn't drop out for some reason) and I would be shocked if he was quiet until then.

His time management skills are abysmal and we've talked about how flighty he can be at times, but in the past he's reassured me he isn't going anywhere. Again, I'm the one that gets really insecure and freaked out if things stay quiet too long without a positive resolve, from past abrupt ghostings and sudden horrible forced friendship/relationship quits from emotionally abusive family members…

His last messages to me were about how he wasn't sure if I actually wanted to join the thingy because of how boring of a session it was, while I've gone gung-ho about it and shown I'm interested in giving it a shot.

He hasn't said anything at all about what I've posted and it makes me feel like perhaps those last words were a subtle "please just forget about it, I don't want you to join" (even though he's the one that rallied on my behalf to set it up).
But I want him to just directly say it if he regrets it. No games.
That's why it's so hard to tell, if he's really just busy or avoiding me on purpose. Could even be a combo of both.

If I were you I’d just stop messaging him or just ghost him. He sounds like an asshole who can’t communicate, I’m too tired to play stupid games like that. You can engage him and try to ask him “what’s wrong” but I feel like that’s exactly what he’d want you to do.

He can communicate, though I will admit sometimes he really does need to be slapped and reminded of stuff sometimes before getting overly sidetracked. Like how we both get sidetracked while playing games or just getting lost in chatter instead of doing what we said we'd do. It's nice.

He's the exact opposite of the type that wants me to outright ask what's wrong unprompted, he'll usually whine first or confess to me directly. He prefers confidence (which, I should really prefer for MYSELF too,) and we've had one falling out over my own insecurities, where he even owned up that sometimes I remind him of himself when he was younger and less confident in himself.

This. Americans and Canadians in my experience don’t seem to have much experience outside of their own country. If you ask where they are from, they never just say the US or Canada, they always assume you are familiar with whatever unimportant state or province they are from. They also assume you know the cultural same references as they do. It’s like they can’t think outside of their own experiences. Canadians are even worse for this, as a big part of their identity seems to be tied up in the fact that they are not American and so have free healthcare because they are so special and so fake-polite, except every developed country has this.

Americans also have the issue of living in capitalism gone wild but being brainwashed to think they live in the best country on earth (the whole pledging allegiance to the flag every single day is creepy).

Their English sounds ugly too. “I’m going to write him”, “burglarized”, etc. And they never think they have accents, proclaiming “Ah down’ haaav an accent!”. They also talk 5 times louder than they need to.

Service in America is also always terrible yet you expected to tip at least 20% every time. Food is awful too.

NYC is the most overrated place on earth. It’s just dirty and crowded. LA is boring too. Every other major world city outranks them easily.

My entire body feels numb right now, like all of my blood went cold.
I'm freaking out…

It was like a fucking itch I couldn’t scratch in my head, my entire life… I always know when my mother is lying… I was playing Inspector Gadget as as young as 4, calling her out on her lies. With her story of my "Dad" I always knew something wasn't right. I just fucking KNEW she was lying. She told me that he died a year after I was born, but has always been super weird when I bring him up. Doesn't talk about him. She cut out all members from his side of the family. Speaks about him coldy, etc.

I looked up court records today, and apparently there was a custody battle for me between them a year after I was born. What the ever living fuck? I've looked up death records my entire life, no sign of him.

I also think the people that I was in contact with from "his" side of the family are just estranged people from our family because on Spokeo, they have the same last name as my mom.

I also think I was molested because I have every fucking sign of sexual abuse, yet, no memory of it.

She's been lying to me my entire fucking life.

disappointment and…

I've been kinda stressed lately because of some absolutely ridiculous interpersonal drama at work, and this really intensifies feelings of isolation and unimportance I've had. I was mildly harrassed by a coworker, he's pretty autistic and generally socially bad so I cut him a lot of slack and tried to explain to him at length why he was making me uncomfortable, also so he wouldn't bother other women with similar stuff in the future. Sometimes he was apologetic and cried about how he's just in so much pain and only wanted to talk to me to clarify things, etc. Ultimately he went as far as to try to convince me I was severely mentally ill and I shouldn't be dating my boyfriend, stalking my bedtimes through work-related apps, and lying (e.g. in work related gdocs comments lol) about things I had said to him as well as things he had done.

He has always seemed sane and was well-respected before, so it was difficult to let others know what he was doing. We're a pretty tight-knit group and he's one of the founding members, so I wanted to avoid causing unnecessary drama and for a while even agreed to discuss things when he seemed just more sad instead of crazy, in case he would snap out of it. No one really thanked me for this or offered a lot of support. I thought people didn't believe me, or figured I was exaggerating even though I phrased things really cautiously and tried to be charitable to the coworker's point of view (a bizarre point of view, sure, but he was also actually suffering a lot). I also think the coworker might have tried to convince other people that I'm mentally ill as well so they wouldn't believe me, so I feel pretty anxious interacting with anyone now.

Recently, the coworker started raising concerns that my boyfriend (who also works here) had a concerning degree of dark triad traits, and shouldn't be in a position that's relevant to org strategy. The evidence for this was that my bf is calm under pressure, socially confident, and an ex of his had after their breakup ages ago posted on fb about a cockroach she named after him(?). The coworker got everyone to discuss these concerns seriously for a little bit, and my bf also had to sit through some bizarre mediated conversations where the coworker questioned him on his relations to a fucking cockroach, until it dawned on everyone how unhinged the coworker's arguments were. Now the coworker is finally most likely going to get fired or leave. Everyone is impressed with how patient and mature my bf was in handling this stuff, but no one has really even checked in on me. I guess I mostly wish people acknowledged and expressed some appreciation of the things I put up with.

My bf is an exception of course, he encouraged me to talk to others from the start to have the harrassment on record and stood up for me even before the coworker involved him directly. I'm so grateful for him, if he didn't work here I would have dropped out months ago. I just don't feel at home with these other people at all, and I dread having to sit through all the future org culture discussions and team cohesion improvement BS. I used to like these people and maybe things are repairable, I was always a bit of a loner anyway and maybe they just thought my bf would be supporting me enough which is mostly true, but it's so weird to hear how much they care about my bf's feelings in comparison.

I also regret being so nice to a batshit stalker who just abused my kindness. Live and learn I guess.

>be in love with best friend for over 7 years
>you both like each other but never admitted it

I cant do this anymore, especially with covid. I just want to be more than friends, I want to hold hands and be able to know hes mine. Im tired of this indirect flirting and jokes with hidden meanings. I wouldnt mind them if we were together, but its driving me mad. 7.whole.years. We have so much history together that a simple 'hey i like you lets date' text really isnt enough. Its pretty obvious and everyone knows we've always liked each other, but the second we start dating im scared we'll break up and never talk again.
Should i shoot my shot sometime soon and piss myself doing it bc im the biggest illiterate dweeb???? I literally do not even know HOW to shoot my shot and make it special, its always men that do big gestures to the female on tv. I still have a lot of time, but i keep having thoughts of how they could find someone else since we aren't technically dating. im going insane im goind nuts mad Help

a lot of men struggle with indirectness. but being too bold can also backfire, because they'll think you're joking or messing or etc etc. meet somewhere in the middle–ask him to do something with you (AFTER COVID…) and have a genuinely good time with him and pick a sappy romantic time towards the end to–not dramatically–casually admit you have some feelings for him and want to know if he feels similarly. again, casual. no theatrics

but that's just one example of something that could work. point is, >>50342 is right in that indirectness doesn't work, but you definitely can't be too bold either. gotta work through the middle…

Im pretty sure my dad's been cheating on my mom for over half a year but idk what to do. Ive walked in on him on a FaceTime call in bed with another woman during the night while my mom was taking a smoke outside. I heard my dad say shit like 'yeah oh yeah i like that'.. my dad doesnt have any female friends.. and when i heard the female voice i walked into his room and he immediately hung up and hid his phone under his blanket like a fucking child. I asked who he was on the phone with and he said he was on the phone with one of his male coworkers. Yeah okay blatant lie, he genuinely thinks im oblivious and dumb for some reason and tries to pull things that just dont work. Then he kept acting super suspicious with his phone the whole night. Weird things like this happened several other times but i wont go into detail, u get the point. Recently, when he picked me up from work, i hopped in the car but he got out and walked away to take a smoke while on the phone. He walked away a good 9-10m and talked for over 15min, but then he got closer and the Bluetooth connected and i heard a womans voice. Im sorry but my dad has no women to call at 9pm, and he works in construction so literally ALL of his coworkers are men, plus in my culture married men arent allowed to have women as friends at their age, its just a standard. He hung up after a few seconds realizing he cant hear the call anymore on his phone bc its connected to his car Bluetooth. He comes back inside the car and starts yelling and mumbling trying to act as if he was on a call w a male coworker. Again, he thinks im dumb and innocent. His call history was showing on the car navigation screen, so I memorised the phone number. Today he picked me up, he was in a call with someone, and when i opened the door to the car he didnt see me right away and the second he did, he hung up super quick without saying bye to the caller. i checked the phone number and it was the same one as last time. That number repeats a bunch of times in his call history, ive noted it down at this point. Frankly i keep thinking I'm imagining things but i seriously resent both of my parents, ESPECIALLY my dad, they keep arguing, and my dad is a freaking alcoholic. Tbh id be happy if both of them got divorced at this point, but that would fuck up my family big time since my mom hasnt had a job in over 20yrs bc my dad's been supporting us financially. I read somewhere that when someone cheats, they start acting super/overly nice so the partner they're cheating on, mostly because of guilt? And well ever since i started being suspicious of my dad, hes been doing insane gestures to my mom and giving us a bunch of ocerly expensive gifts, which hed never do before, and if he didnt it was NOWHERE near this extreme. Im not even kidding you he once bought her 400 roses and a diamond ring out of fucking no where, set them around our pool and lit a ring of fire with gasoline around the whole thing to do a light show. Hes also been trying to act nicer to me recently. I still resent him for a bunch of shit hes done in the past, and for his alcoholism. For fucks sake, recently he was so drunk he kept yelling at me that he doesn't consider me as his daughter but as a fucking stranger, hit my mom and almost hit me. I hate it here. Hes either always at work, and when he has days off hes spending it with friends getting drunk, or getting drunk alone. If by chance bes spending time with us, hes already drunk. Any advice on how to handle the cheating thing though? Im thinking of telling my older brother (who lives on his own) but idk if i should gather genuine proof or this is enough. I dont want to tell my mom right away, I dont even know how to confront her. I honestly feel like she herself has a hunch but is staying with him because 1)she still loves him 2) because of our financial situation and 3) maybe shes not sure just like me and is in denial. sos :(

I'd tell your older brother if I were you. Tell him the phone number, maybe it's better if a man handles this. You shouldn't tell your mom yet, I don't think.

Anonymous 50382

he hit your mom, almost you, so maybe she's not safe. It would be good to tell your brother for a perspective of someone who understands you and the family better, and support, and maybe see if you can get you and your mom away. If you leave, you're not breaking the family. The family is already broken whether you are under the same roof or not, so let go. You can't let him keep hurting you and your mom, it may escalate.

You don't have to confront your dad, he knows what he's done. Men turn off to words a lot, especially from women. It's better to show rather than tell.

If your mom has no support from you, she may lean on your dad for affection, familiarity and support, she really needs you right now. I will pray that you find peace and a safe place for you and your mom, I hope you know you're not alone here

I'm unable to enjoy my days. Unable to enjoy being with my family, unable to enjoy my time with my boyfriend, unable to enjoy being in my own bed.

I dread the difficult decisions I know I'm going to have to make in the next year and the hardships that will result from them. I already feel as though I am living the consequences, it's impossible for me to disconnect and live in the moment. I don't even want to hug my mother even if I need it badly right now, because I know I'm about to do something that will hurt her and that she might never forgive me for. Being born to an orthodox devout but loving family is terribly unfair. And I know this might seem silly to those who have to deal with the abusive ones, but the fact that my family are good people makes leaving the hardest. It makes me feel like I am the bad person for wanting to live my life the way I would like to, because it would disturb the otherwise peaceful life my family has. My motives seem selfish and it's hard to convince myself they aren't even if I'm dead set on doing what I want. Crazy because just a year ago I thought I was such worthless being that I didn't deserve to live a free life. My self esteem is still bad, worse in some aspects (BDD) but I somehow still managed to move away from that thinking. Guess that's great.

Every time I go to sleep I hope and sometimes manage to convince myself I won't wake up or that my sleep lasts very, very long. It puts me in a better headspace and my anxiety fades for a moment. Hope I can manifest eternal sleep.

I was retarded and spent like 5 years with a cheating psycho and then 4 with a guy with bad OCD + GAD and whatever attachment problems he had that made him oscillate from completely in love with me to cold and dismissive. With the latter guy, we were nevertheless very committed and did a lot of work to figure things out way past the point where it was already impossible. There were countless times he swore he would stick with me until his issues were resolved, and even if his feelings might occasionally fluctuate because of his disorders, he would work for a future together. Every time he was feeling down, I could still tell he was thinking of ending it and felt judgmental and resentful of me. We talked about these problems all the time and he always repeated his reasoning on how committed he was regardless and reassured me that these feelings would pass with work. I was very invested, all the inconsistency felt like hell and the stress fried my brain, and needless to say it ultimately didn't work out.

Now I'm with a guy who is better than anything I could have dreamed of, we are a perfect match in terms of values and lifestyles and generally make a great team. I feel really calm and secure around him, he's consistent in showing affection and overall just very stable and well-adjusted. He does sometimes have mild depression, and lately this has cropped up with work stress and it's making me spiral pretty horribly. If he's lost in thought when we spend time together or in a slightly grumpy mood (not even towards me), I feel this old panic about how my partner must be reconsidering things and secretly resentful of me.

"Just communicate with him" doesn't help, because a great deal of the anxiety stems from my previous relationship, where we talked about our feelings and commitment constantly but ultimately there was nothing to be done because my ex simply felt too bad to continue. After all the reassurance I got from him, all the actions we took to maintain a connection and improve our life together, it still didn't work out, and it lasted for years so now it's like there is nothing my current partner could say or do that would fully convince my brain.

After my past relationships, resentment is pretty much part of what I expect my partner to feel towards me. I just feel fundamentally unlovable and like there is no other outcome possible anymore than me being abandoned again after my partner starts criticizing everything I do in his head. But nothing bad has even happened, apart from him being more distracted and a bit distant on some days. He hasn't said anything judgmental and keeps saying he wants to share his life with me, and that the depression makes more salient how much he loves me because he would feel so much worse without my support. I just can't shake this gut feeling that things are wrong between us now and I need to get prepared for the day, maybe next week or maybe after half a year of things being seemingly fine, when he inevitably says he doesn't think we should go on after all.

I don't want to go crazy clingy with my anxieties because that would obviously make things worse. I have so far managed to explain roughly how I'm feeling without bringing up my endless need for reassurance all the time. The past couple of days have been really hard though, I just don't know how to stop worrying and return to normal life when he's feeling down. My mind is in emergency mode all the time and I'm so tired of feeling like this again.

Any miners have an experience where a friend wants to be much closer to you than you'd like? There's this one girl who I've been friends with for a few years while I was in undergrad. We used to live together until I graduated so we saw each other a lot and I was there for a lot of rough moments in her life. Recently she's been messaging me almost everyday about random stuff and asks to videocall with me a few times per month. I guess this all sounds pretty innocent and I wouldn't mind if this was any other friend, but responding to these messages are such a chore because I am just so not interested in what she has to talk about and same goes for when we videocall. It's not like she has done anything explicitly wrong to me, but it's just little things that make it not fun to chat with her or hang out with her to the point that it all almost seems like a chore. I assume that the frequent messaging is probably because she's bored in quarantine and also apparently I'm one of the few people she talks to now because everyone else has been "pissing her off." I guess the solution is to just decrease how much I engage with her, but I just wanted to vent because it's draining. On one hand I feel bad purposefully ignoring messages that are directed at me, but on the other hand the more I engage the more frequently she wants to talk and it is so draining!!

Did he actually tell you this, or was it just an assumption?
If the latter, it's possible that he didn't actually think of it as lying or being deceptive. Some people have weird ideas about dating and believe it's fine to date multiple people at the same time as long as you're not "serious/exclusive."
Not saying you should stay with him, if your views are incompatible in that way, but if intent is all that matters to you then there is the possibility he was just being dumb rather than malicious.

ive gained 7 pounds since september and its entirely due to unhealthy eating. i feel so much shame and guilt because i started to become careless again. i cant even look in the mirror without wanting to cry, because i feel the weight gain shows in my face (not that i liked my appearance before) i have been cutting calories and exercising but i still feel hopeless as im doing it all. i know this formula works, but for some reason i just worry it wont come off or something. i really just want to love myself. i dont know why i didnt just have the discipline to say no to the food, but its becoming easier to avoid using food as a solution to boredom/stress because i want to feel happy about myself more than feeling happy over the taste of food for 5 seconds…

my boyfriend has been so kind through it all and reassuring. im a bit overweight so i know as much as he says im fine how i am, i need to lose the rest of those pounds from last year.

I broke down crying while organizing and cleaning the kitchen. I feel so helpless, useless, and stuck.
I know I have issues and that I should get help but I don't want to make the effort. I analyze myself and contemplate my life nearly all the time, if I'm not fantasizing about my ideal life.
I've been like this since I was 13 (22 now) and don't like change. I've been a shy quiet girl for so long that despite wanting to stand up for myself and fantasizing about it, I can't bring myself to do it because it's not "me" and what other expect of me. I'm such an approval seeker. I hate my life but it's all that I know.

I was planning to move out last year but covid put a stop to that since we were put into lockdown. I had worked myself up enough to actually get things ready but now I'm back to hyping myself to take the risk of moving out of my very small community where I know I'll be taken of, to a city where I'm pretty much on my own. I think I would do well in a small-medium city, it would be a new beginning. I would no longer see the man who molested me on the street or at the store. I could pursue my goals more easily. I could meet more like-minded people. Easier access to healthcare without having to drive out to or wait for a doctor. It's more convenient overall. I hate living a small community and how it's romanticize as "close-knit", it's suffocating if you're considered weird.

I also have a shit profile so I can relate with the self-disgust, but I don't know why you're so concerned with this idea of cheating. Cheating implies that you're being unfair and that you are wronging someone in the process. That's not what you're doing. I would get surgery in a heartbeat if I could. If you feel like that's dishonest, then by all means go ahead and tell everyone you meet that your nose/chin/jaw are fake, but I can assure you that they don't give a fuck.
By the way, you do know that people who compliment you can also see your side profile right? Unless you're talking about social media, in which case no one fucking cares about "cheating".

Thank you anon, glad to find a kindred spirit though I'm sorry to hear you feel that way too. It's hard to explain my thought process behind the cheating thing. I think I just have weird rigid rules in my head. I feel I don't deserve to be considered be 'beautiful' because someone who actually is beautiful wouldn't need to hide their face or do their hair in very specific ways all the time, so that leads me to feel that I'm somehow lying to people by doing just that and then gaining compliments. They are irl people but still.
I also still just can't see myself getting surgery because of the risk and the 'cheating'. I myself don't really look down on people who get surgery but I know if I were to do it myself I'd feel that way. If I get surgery I think it would also feed my obsessive, perfectionist, narcissistic brain. Ever since I was young I've always felt pressure to be cute, probably because of my autism picking up on the role women play in media and the fact that I excelled at so much when I was little that I quickly realised my worth comes from being 'better' than everyone around me. Sounds braggy I know but yh thank u for taking the time to reply because it has helped

I so feel you. Not to humblebrag or anything but my face looks so beautiful from the front because my nose looks slim, upturned and non-bumpy (your typical angel skull nose). However, from the side, I have this horrifyingly ugly downturned protruding witch nose with a huge dorsal bump, and it's only emphasized by my underdeveloped weak jaw. It isn't fair. I know I won't get any matches posting my side profile so I have always done front-facing selfies on dating apps. When I went on dates, I could see the guys get disgusted and disappointed that I catfished them even though all I did was hide my bad angle. So I get the feeling of catfishing people by hiding my ugly angles. I gave up on dating apps because men would always ghost me after seeing how ugly I am in person. I am so self conscious about how ugly my nose looks but I refuse to get plastic surgery. I don't want to be like one of those plastic surgery kpop couples where their kids don't look anything like them.
Besides my nose and weak jaw, I love everything about my face. I have nice pouty lips, almond shaped cat eyes, high cheekbones, and Jennifer Connelly eyebrows. It's my nose and jaw that ruins all of it. I wonder if there are any models that have that witch skull. That'll be such a confidence boost for me.

I just re-read my earlier reply and sorry if I came across as judgemental or anything anon, I understand the weird self-imposed norms. It sucks and I hope you do manage to get over them. I think you shouldn't look too deep into the implications or the "requirements" of beauty; if people say you're pretty then that means you're pretty from whatever angle they saw you and that's good enough. And honestly IRL there's no way people haven't noticed your side profile. Even if you actively try to hide it, we have a natural sense of three dimensionality (which does get lost in pictures) and unless you act like a robot, you're certainly moving your head from time to time. So rest assured that those who compliment you are doing it with full awareness of your side profile. I do think it's great that you've established a clear line in terms of plastic surgery and you know it's off limits for you. That way you don't spend your entire life weighing the pros and the cons and wallowing in regret.

Same anon here, are you me?? No joke I didn't want to humblebrag either but I can't get enough of my face from the front either as bad as it sounds. Harmonious face and almost all the angel skull features.
I'm coming around to accepting my nose a bit more because of ladies like Gisele Bundchen and now I really just think the problem is the combination of nose and chin and place most of my blame on my chin. I'm still hoping that if I lose a bit more weight or lower my overall body fat my double chin will go away but I have a feeling thanks to my weak jaw that it'll never change.

Really sorry to hear about what you went through with online dating. I have a feeling it's less to do with you and more to do with the overall expectations men have for women now that porn and other shitty media is allowed to sit and fester in their brains all day. I imagine they'd react the same way even for women with more desirable side profiles purely because they're always chasing the mirage of 'the perfect cutie' they saw online. Not to invalidate your experience or anything though.

I've been trying to go down to a BMI of 18 because the fat will melt away and make my jaw look sharp. As of now, at a BMI of 23, it looks like my chin melts into my neck. That's the only non-surgical option I have for being comfortable with my big nose + weak chin combo. I think pretty features as a whole won't be drowned out by one bad feature. We're just too self conscious and fixated on our noses to see us the way others see us. I think this girl looks gorgeous even though she has a non-stereotypical celestial nose.

You do have a point. Men are definitely fixated on an idealized woman they saw on OF or e-girl on twitter and try to chase her lookalike irl or off dating apps.

Anonymous 50656

>>50655
I'm very tempted to follow suit and try to keep losing weight as well. Do you know if going that low does get rid of the fat there? I always just kind of thought that if your chin is weak the fat will always be there no matter what, or the skin will always sag down that way. Not to kill your motivation or anything though because I definitely have heard of that being a solution for a couple girls on reddit. I just think knowing my luck it won't be the case for me lmao.
But yeah I think you're right on the self-consciousness thing, as tends to be the way. Confidence + mostly pretty features should trump a bad profile so I'm going to try and keep that in mind myself. Girl in pic is definitely pretty enchanting.

I have been at a BMI 18 before and I had a sharp jaw. It depends on your body fat distribution. If fat naturally gathers in your chin and neck area, then it'll be very hard to get rid of it. There is no such thing as 'targeting' an area for weight loss so that's why I'm aiming for a BMI as it's overall weight that matters.
Sometimes I browse 'big noses are beautiful' tumblr blogs and instagram pages to make me feel more comfortable with myself.

no. it just affects your facial development and has a minor effect once developed. although so does diet, working your jaw as a kid is important, soft foods are bad. it's just good tongue posture. people with good-looking, even faces naturally have it. mewing is just corrective exercises, like you would with back posture.

The worst thing about all of this is that, by common wisdom, in 3 to 4 years from now I’ll be going through the exact same bloody thing with her. Meaning I’ll have a MIRACULOUS reason to forgive her, despite it being waaaaaAAAAAAAAAAY too late on her part given what she’ll have gone through by then.

Though I do admit I’m somewhat curious as to how that’ll pan out since we atheists don’t exactly travel in packs (nor at least keep in touch THAT well).

I can't fucking take it anymore. I haven't been able to cry in years. I'm failing 4 classes. Socially I'm totally fucked. I am so incredibly lonely and isolated and I'm panicking 24/7 and it's taking all the willpower I have just not to drop out and spend my days fucked up on every substance imaginable until I inevitably overdose. I can't feel my soul I don't see the reason to carry on, the world is so fucked up. But I stay anyways because it's not like I'm actually /that/ sad/depressed or whatever, it's just some stupid fucking cry for attention and validation! The worsening of our current economic depression is going to make life very good and swell too :)

I don't feel okay being sober, but its not like I have an addiction to anything. I go weeks without drinking. I just don't feel good being in control of myself. I wanted to stay away from drinking and just stick to weed though.

Went to a psychologist but I can't even be honest with her. Psychology has never worked for me. She said next time I come she'll give me sheets to fill out for an OCD and anxiety diagnosis, but literally what is the point of this. It upsets me so much that the shit that I believe in can so easily be dismissed by a "magical thinking" OCD diagnosis. It's stupid but I've been so fucked up over it. Yeah sure there's distress that comes from that, but it's not something that fucks with my life to the point where it has to be treated. If I were honest with her and told her I think I feel ghosts, angels, and other entities around me occasionally that would be even worse. The world is so fucking boring. I don't understand why deviating from the norm in thought slightly is something that's classified as a detrimental diagnosis even when you function okay for the most part. Sick sick sick sick sick. Collecting all these diagnoses makes me look sicker than I actually am. Rotting at the bottom of the well.

I just want to want to live again. Or rather, I want to be able to see what the point of the constant wagecucking and studying is. I don't give a shit about any other malady I have. I want to have meaningful relationships and to fall in love. I don't know if I'm capable of love.

I got braces but all it did was straighten my teeth and bring my genetically weak jaw forward. The change is so unnoticeable. I feel like crying.
I have always had fucked up teeth. When I was a kid, I had three rows of teeth because of overcrowding. My parents let me suck on a pacifier as a baby and toddler so it made me develop a weak jaw and forced my adult teeth to grow too early before my baby teeth were ready to fall out. They only fed me soft fast food like fries and hamburgers, so I missed out on the proper foods to develop a strong jaw. They also let me drink sugary drinks and eat candy all the time. This gave me a lot of cavities, gingivitis, and my dentist recently told me that I have gum recession like an 80 year old and I'm only in my 20s. All of this has made me so bitter. My breath has always smelled so bad and I've always been so self conscious over it. It's turned me mute. Because why open your mouth if people will be repulsed by your breath?
Not to sound like I want a pity party or anything. I just want to vent about how ugly I am because of bad genetics in combination with bad parenting.

im so lost on a career path. i plan to attend college again in fall but just to finish up my associates. im recently 20 and live with my bf as a neet. i help a lot around the house and with our kitties and use my savings when needed, i even applied for a job and had a wonderful interview but got no call back… yet? i have a lot of hobbies and skills and dreams but half the time i work on them and the other half i put myself down because i just feel like its useless. ultimately i want to be a housewife (“neet”) and sell stuff on etsy like things i make, so i can help out but still do something i love.

clearly this is stupid though. because how sufficient is it really? i want an education and love to learn, i have a couple of real career ideas but i dont want the fulltime job associated with it and i dont know if itd make me happy. i see a lot of girls nowaday able to attain the life i want but when it comes to me, i dont feel good enough. i dont push myself and get my art and creations out there because im terrified.

i dont know what path to take and im overwhelmed and depressed. i want to throw my hobbies away at this point. do i work part time? or find a decent career and pursue college?

im sorry i sound insane but im struggling. i have no clue what to do. should i just go for it with my shops instead of spending months and months planning? and what the hell do i do now to help for my future? i want to be happy. and before lately i was happy for many reasons, i have my ideal life minus the successful art and shop stuff. but now i feel foolish.

Sounds like my life. I was recently given the opportunity to work at a law firm on case management, and I always feel like I should have an adult full-time job because everyone else my age has one. However, without more education, I can't get a job that I would really enjoy. I think I'd rather take advantage of my situation and take my time trying new things and seeing where my hobbies take me. My insecurity makes me think I should have an adult full-time job, but the truth probably is that if I did have one, I wouldn't be satisfied and would be longing for the free time I have now. I worry about being middle-aged and still in this state, but if I didn't worry and trusted myself, I'd probably find a path somehow, but I have a habit of not knowing what to do or worrying and doing nothing. I think most people trust their instincts and even if they make mistakes things still work out really well for them because the rest of the world still admires people who try to and fail more than those who are too scared to develop their lives and interests.

Maybe you should find a part-time job. My boyfriend has money, but just being able to have my own money to spend how I want without feeling guilty is really freeing and now I can buy whatever I want to make daily life less burdensome. Also, more importantly, just having regularity, responsibility, and being a part of something in the real world is really good for my mental health. You'll be able to focus so much better on your projects because you'll fear failure much less because you're entire life won't be dependent on the success or failure of something that is supposed to be enjoyable.

IDK what the hell happened but now all he does is wear the same 3 pairs of jeans from the thrift store (nothing against that, but theyre so fucking worn out and it looks like he hasnt washed them in over half a year, same thing with his shirts). His hair is extremely ungroomed, reaching his shoulders now and dirty as hell, literal dandruff flakes everywhere. His coats are absolute trash too. Hes really attractive though so it breaks my heart to see him let go of himself in this way. Whenever we go out to hangout, i always go all out and make myself super pretty since its like a date, but he puts absolutely no effort and its so disappointing it's like a lack of respect to me, imagine going on a date and your date shows up looking literally homeless and stinky and ughh.. God and i also noticed his dental hygiene is crappy too. I tried taking him shopping but that didnt work out. How do i nicely ask him to take better care of himself, and to try a bit better when we go out on hangout dates without sounding like an asshole?? its seriously a huge turnoff im in love with his personality but i just cant overlook this its getting gross :\
