Yeah. Job I had I just left after a few months, same reason

Zoe Bee made a video about how Dennis Praeger's "parenting" advice is just child abuse chefs kiss

I know this thread is old but I'm really glad you defended OP so staunchly. Everyone else here thinks you can go lift weights karate kid style and suddenly bullies will turn into your friends

So, I did this once and it made it worse. What do you think is different about what you did?

Late to the party but is it really pathological if they do, in fact, attack you for showing up?

Didn't come to r/cycling for my daily dose of anarchist theory but you know it'll do

Maybe he would have believed OP if she just looked at him with doll eyes and said "you're a dick" like so many of us wish we could do all the time lol

That's Abdirak's job

Um yeah Astarion's Hunter's Mark is a major "rattling the bars of my enclosure" for me

All of them

🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is me too, I feel lucky that I look good in silver. Sure it tarnishes, but you can polish it and its back to new. As far as I know there's no equivalent for a gold-tone metal. Idk what warm complexioned people do when they can't spend for the "real thing"

Acordia was my Tav, but I will be happily joining team leaf from this point! 🌿

Thank you for putting words to how I've felt since I was a child. "I know way too much to be happy." Thanks, Mom and Dad, for cutting me off from what it means to be human.

Sometimes I feel like I just need to try to talk myself into all those healthy delusions again...

Yes... All of this just yes. I hate it

Thank you so much for organizing this! I'm just happy I made it this far. 🙃 Hopefully more contests in the future. Best of luck to everyone!

My whole friend group from different parts of the country just spent a whole camping trip talking about BG3. It was a blast

Most of the time, when men are decked out in MAGA, I assume they're a pussy. The worst kind of pussy, too-- the fragile kind with something to prove. Confident men don't need to advertise their manliness with stickers and lifted trucks. They also don't worship a 400-lb man who shits in a gold toilet.

Umm... What if you had it fucked for you by abusive parents who both didn't let you do anything and didn't let you do shit to get a career, and now you're 29 with no job and crazy mental health problems that cost thousands of dollars? Asking for... Me, I'm asking for my regretti spaghetti ass

Also, that Gale is real

Late to this party, but in a similar vein to not letting it define you, I realized my parents controlled the story of my life. If I kms, they would get to control the story of my death, too. They would create a fiction where they were martyrs, and this is a continuation of using me-- from beyond the grave.

They don't get that. They denied me everything, so I'm denying them that. Instead they can sit in front of all their relatives with the embarrasment and shame of having an estranged daughter.

God, why are they all the same

Tbh I think it's ok to embrace the hermit phase. Try to do some stuff sometimes just to make sure friendships are still there when you get out, but honestly you don't want to end up lashing out or frying your brain from social interactions you either dont understand or are too triggered by.

I've had the same group of friends for nine years, and we see each other multiple times per week. Even they had a hard time learning how my brain works, and sometimes I think it would have been better not to force myself to socialize when I was feeling too on fire.

Imma try to just download this into my brain and hopefully believe it
