I always enjoy the posts where the OP just knows the other's thoughts and it's totally not projection of their own feelings.

There's also more to be said that she thinks the prosthetic will remind him of his ex and not you know, the fact he is still probably talking to the ex.

Or maybe he is feeling some type of... Phantom pain

[23/m] How can i tell my family to stop bringing up my sister's (16/f) love life so much? It really hurts my feelings because i can't get anyone.

quote:

I'm a 23 y/o man, I'm still a virgin and I can't get a girlfriend and never been on a date, despite trying my best. I have struggled with women and social anxiety issues my whole life. My sister, however, has no problems, she can get a boyfriend and have him for 3 years and not struggle with getting a new one after a week when he breaks up with her. Normally, i don't care about this because i try not to think about it, but i'm visiting my family, her and my parents and they keep bringing up her love life. They keep bringing up the old ex, he cheated on her and the girl he left sis for cheated on him. They made a big deal about it and were laughing and mocking him. She started telling them how good the new guy treats her. Dad wants to meet him.

It made me feel upset. Being lonely is a very sensitive subject for me. I reflected how i'm almost 7 years older and don't have any fun experiences to share, i have nobody at all, i can't get anybody, i'm basically unlovable. They hardly even spoke to me, sis's love life was the talk of the town. They talked and joked about her boyfriend and some other people she'd dated for a long time, i didn't want to be rude so i just stayed. She's had so many adventures i'll never to and have never experienced. Going to prom with her ex, i skipped out on mine, someone to share her accomplishments with, i wish i had something like that. I was incredibly upset, i wanted to cry, but kept fighting it. I tried not to show it but i kept sighing and rolling my eyes at them, but keeping to myself in the corner. I kept quiet, they finally asked me how i was and i just kinda shrugged. The conversation finally switched, but to me.

Mom just made a comment about my sister being a casanova with the boys and looked over at me and asked why i never brought any good women home for us to meet. Again, i just shrugged, said i tried, it just doesn't work out. Mom said "Maybe if you lost weight and gave up that anime bullshit, maybe put in a little effort then you could get one.". I didn't say anything, i wanted to say it was because of their bad genetics, i got screwed up really bad genetically, my body just didn't develop properly, i'm short and kinda funny looking, oddly proportioned. Plus on the chubby side. She said there were no excuses for not trying and that they were my age when i was already in pre school. They want grandkids to carry on our last name and i'm the only one who can.

The last thing dad said was "You know, he might be gay. I mean, it's cool if you are, just be honest about it, so we can support you." I wanted to say i'm not gay, just unlovable. But mom brought up to the whole family that i have a waifu. Which, i know is weird, but i can't help it. I love a fictional character and it helps bridge the loneliness gap.

I just want my family to stop. Stop asking me about getting a girlfriend, stop throwing my sister's happiness in my face and i can't deal with it anymore. I can't just leave, i took a bus and can't get another one for about a week. I'm stuck and have to deal with it. All they ever talk about is my sister's love life and i hate it. I don't think i can take it anymore.

tl;dr: My sister is a normal teenager, she does fine in the dating scene and this is all my family talks about. It hurts my feelings because i genuinely can't get a girlfriend or anything. PLus they keep badgering me about finding someone. Please help.

AITA for telling my boyfriend he stinks

quote:

Ok, long story short.

So me (22F) and my boyfriend (23M). He has the tendency that when he wears his clothes for 2-3 days, he'll put the clothes back in the wardrobe even though they smell bad.

His excuse is thst he can't tell that they smell so he doesn't know. So I usually sort out his clothes. It got to a point where they smell so bad, the smell catches on to other clothes and I have to do laundry too often. I tried to tell him that even if you can't tell, it's common sense to put your clothes in the wash after a day or two.

At the beginning I told him nicely with him sulking and getting upset and saying "OK babe, I'll do it" meaning he'll never do it, I know him and its been going on for years at this point. Somehow this turned into an argument and apparently I don't know how to tell things nicely even though if I say it nicely, its not good enough. If I kinda try to make a joke of it, he doesn't get it but when I'm firm, I'm too cruel for him.

So I gave him an example. If I am to wear the same clothes over and over again, the clothes will start smelling and hence, I will stink because of if. I told him the exact thing. "You stink" because of his clothes. He burst out into tears saying "you dont know how much that impacts me" and just left the house to take out dog out.

I'm actually dumbfounded right now. I'm just sitting on the sofa and I don't know if I should cry or laugh. I have tried every approach I can think of over the years. He always says yeah OK but then the cycle repeats.
I told him I'm not his mother and I shouldn't teach him this kind of things and even a young kid would know when the clothes smell.

So, AITA for telling my boyfriend he stinks?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be more effort putting clothes back in a wardrobe rather than just chucking them in a washing basket? Why would you put away dirty clothes???

AITA for telling my neighbor I know why her parents and grandparents gave her up

quote:

YOU GUYS ARE ALL ASSHOLES

For reference, here's the original post:

quote:

My (16f) neighbor’s (28f) cousin (17f) moved in a few weeks ago. My neighbor lets me go to her house to escape from my sister’s (12) tantrums so when I’d go I’d hang out with the cousin. She’s nice but she throws worse tantrums than my sister. She doesn’t do them whenever I’m there but I can hear her screaming and throwing things and slamming doors and it’s insane. My neighbor came over to apologize a couple times and she explained that the cousin is having a hard time because her parents sent her to live with her grandparents then they got old and sent her to live with her. I think she’s being really immature but she’s not my problem so I don’t really care.

I went to my neighbors house yesterday and I hung out with the cousin again while my neighbor was working and I was complaining about my parents and she said I should be grateful that my parents love me and take care of me and that hers never did. I’d had enough of her complaining and throwing tantrums and I told her I know why her parents and grandparents gave her up. Because she’s always screaming and complaining and really annoying to be around.

She tried kicking me out but I reminded her it’s not her house so she made my neighbor leave a meeting so she could tell me to leave.

Now my neighbor doesn’t want me at her house anymore and my parents said I was an rear end in a top hat so I wanted to see if I was one.

It really could go either way.

The thing is with incels is that they're really not a rare, freak or even independent thing... just a combination of two factors:

-Growing boys have it hammered into them from every angle that the sexual conquest is desired and expected of them to receive basic validation and respect and succeed in mandatory life goals, and the only acceptable way through which they may receive anything resembling emotional support.
-They are given absolutely no real useful support to accomplish this from any angle, and are unlikely to be actively taught even basic social skills in favour of just throwing them into the playground and given consumer electronics to keep them quiet at home.

It's not like they can talk to anyone about this, their parents will at best stare blankly in response to any requests for emotional support, and doing so anywhere else only opens them up to permanently increased intensity of bullying. School counsellors are the most useless people ever to exist in the world, and the internet has a thousand unhealthy coping mechanisms that are their only available ones. There is no help available.

Update: AITA for telling my cousin she's committing a sin?

quote:

I just want to address a few questions that some people had. I agree that it's rude to have a loud show on when other people are in the room. However, I was in my room privately watching on a wall mounted TV. If she asked me to turn it off, I would have switched to my phone with earbuds. But it's the fact that she said it's Haram that just tipped me over. After I told her that her painting is a sin too, she threw her paint stuff against the wall. That's why our parents came into the room.

Also, to the Muslims who keep saying that my aunt is not practicing true Islam, she literally could say the same about you. You're on Reddit most likely in a country that doesn't practice Sharia law. However you practice your religion is up to you. But it's not fair for you to say that when my aunt was born and raised in this religion. To those who think I made this post up to bash Muslims, I'm sorry you think that. It was never my intention to start a religious debate. If you think that drawing pictures of living things is not a sin, you can take it up with your local mosque/Sheikh/whoever you follow.

Onto the update.

The morning after I made my first post, I asked my parents if I could have a conversation about what happened. My aunt insisted on staying so I just decided to tell them how I felt since they first arrived.

I told them I don't appreciate how they made me feel. My life has literally changed, from my actions to appearance. They keep telling me it's time to wear the hijab which I absolutely refuse to do. They also started making me pray 5 times a day. If I don't pray, my cousin will tattle. We've been sharing a room and it hasn't been the best experience.

My parents were not strict religiously until my aunt came. She made my dad feel like he's not raising me properly which is why he's trying to show my aunt otherwise. He told me that I need to start being more modest and show respect. So I told them this is a hill I was willing to die on and I was not going to apologize.

I am very fortunate to have money saved up from my job. I told my parents I'm moving out. My friend has been looking for a roommate and it was perfect timing. I am currently staying with her and hopefully we're putting my name on the lease soon.

My parents are understandably upset but I'm not coming back home until they take my side. My aunt is not in a rush to move out. I gave my cousin some cash to buy new paint supplies and told her whenever she wants to hang out, we can. Until then, I'm on my own. My friend has been very supportive and I'm so lucky to have her.

Again, thank you everyone for your kind words ♥️♥️ I hope everyone gets to live the life they deserve and have happiness everyday.

The original:
AITA for telling my cousin she's committing a sin?

quote:

I'll try to keep this straight to the point but I (18F) can answer any questions you have.

A year and a half ago, my cousin (17f) and aunt (50+) immigrated from Saudi Arabia. They have been living with my family and I in Canada ever since. It's been a real struggle for everyone to adjust. Because they are way more religious than me, they see themselves as more superior. I can't read or write Arabic properly, so they say "Oh poor OP, losing her faith and culture because she was born here" or they comment on the fact that I can't read the Qur'an in the original language.

Everything I do, they comment on. I watch a show, listen to music, dye my hair, wear skinny jeans, or anything remotely fun in front of them, and they give their opinion. " Darling, this is Haram", "sweetie, doing this is actually not permitted" , " OP, you can't do this unless you want to go to hell".

My parents have told me to keep the peace and that they'll soon get their own place. Since the whole lockdown, my cousin has taken up a new hobby- painting. She's actually really talented and I'm surprised she's never painted before. I was watching anime in our shared room when she told me to turn it off. She said she can't concentrate listening to something Haram while she painted.

I told her that she's also committing a sin by painting a girl. (In Islam, drawing/painting any living thing is a sin) This lead to a whole fight and our parents got involved. Basically, they're telling me to apologize because her painting isn't harming anybody. My cousin has stopped talking to me because my aunt made her stop painting. This caused problems between my parents and aunt because they're telling my aunt it's fine if she paints. Now there's tension in our house and my parents are kind of pissed at me.

AITA for causing this fight? I admit I lost my temper, but after a year and a half of this, I couldn't take it anymore. Also, my cousin was really good at painting and it was a way for her to get creative. I feel really bad now that she's not allowed.

Eta: not some Muslims getting triggered by this post lmao. Don't send me hate. I'm a crybaby

thanks all for your advice/comments! I really appreciate it. I'll have a talk with my parents tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well

My boyfriend (19M) chose Call of Duty Mobile battle pass over me (19F)


quote:


Hi. Sorry for the bad grammar, I'm not a native speaker, and I'm still recovering from my illness.

Two weeks ago, I got Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. I was in severe pain and had to be hospitalized. I couldn't be awake without crying, it was THAT bad. My brain felt like it was being boiled by my body temps (it went over 104°F for days). My skin filled with red freckles. My hands became swollen. I became easily bruised by the slight of touches. There were complications with my respiratory and digestive system too. My platelet counts were so low, it was so close to make me internally bleeds. I was fighting for my life, and thankfully I'm making good progress.

My boyfriend of 7 months didn't even visit me. Not when I was still in the hospital, not when I've returned home. My mom did tell him what happened. He knew about the whole situation and said that he's worried to death for me. But he didn't visit me at all until this day. In where I live, a COVID-19 negative test result is required if you want to visit a patient in the hospital. And the test only costs like $5, free if you have insurance or some sort. At first, I understand why he didn't visit me. We're both college students and basically don't have any sort of income. So I told him he can visit when I've returned home. I've been home for days now and he still hasn't visited me yet.

Today I logged into CODM. I haven't played it since I got sick, so there was a lot I've missed. The season has recently changed. I checked my boyfriend's profile. He has the new season's battle-pass exclusive background (the thing behind your avatar and username). It costs more than the COVID-19 test. I don't know how to deal with this. I don't know how I feel either. He had the money to take the test and visit me at the hospital, but he didn't. I was only some inch away from death. I was in great pain. He didn't even care about me. It was all a lie. I don't know if I still love him or not. And since the pandemic is still going on, no one actually visited me. Many friends did check up on me via chats, but still, the whole situation make me realized how alone I am. I almost died, and nobody actually cared.

I'm planning to break up with him without telling him the reason. I feel humiliated. He literally chose a mobile game over me. But I have no idea on how I should tell him. I just... I just want to block him on every social media and move on with my life.

Mai Valentine is a woman who plays a children card game at a level where she has iirc never won a single match shown on screen but appeared across 200 episodes so she basically exists to use very feminine cards and get dunked on. But she is also just a 24 year old woman no gimmicks.

Unfortunately her boyfriend is 16 and a colossal gambling degenerate idiot she is clearly grooming.

AITA for screaming at my step mother that she doesn't care about us?

quote:

I (f21) am a triplet. I love my two sisters and after 21 years, of course i'm used to people mixing us all the time, it's annoying but we are used to it.

My dad has been dating with his wife for 8 years, married for 6 years. I can count with my fingers just how many times she has gotten our names right even thought we've told her the little things to tell us apart and all these years, we've spent New Year and vacations with them, it's not like she never sees us but i swear that she gets the names wrong EVERY time.

We all have similar voices and jobs too but right now, one of my sisters has pink hair while the other one dyed it blonde. She still get's it wrong each time and it annoys all of us since it's not coming from a stranger but someone that has spent lots of time with us.
We correct her every time or don't reply until she gets it right. She doesn't have a good relationship with our mom so i guess that might affect? But i'm not sure. She hasn't always been nice to us either.

A few days ago she wouldn't stop calling me by my sisters name and it was annoying me, i corrected her a few times and she said i was rude. I told her that she obviously didn't care about us or would have tried harder by now.
She tried to punish me and we got into an argument, idk what she said to my dad but he is on her side and wants me to apologize. I don't want to. My sisters are on my side.

AITA for screaming at her and not wanting to apologize?

My question: Did the OP actually scream (as the title says), or did she say (as the text says) and the step mom characterized it as yelling and the OP adopted the frame out of a misguided sense of fairness and deference to authority?

I don't play online games but isn't a "battle pass" like a timed thing? So if he's not using it, it's wasted - and she says quite clearly they don't have money to waste. And his girlfriend didn't die so he can see her later, and if she had died then any effort he had made would have been wasted so it was prudent all round to just wait and see how things wash out. I hope he has the opportunity to explain things to her.

Here’s my “fun” middle school sex ed story.

When I was a kid/teen, my period cramps were so bad they would make me puke. This once happened during 6th grade sex ed, meaning I got to skip the scare ‘em straight video of a woman giving birth.

Then fast forward to 10th grade sex ed and I was answering a ton of questions on basic anatomy bullshit correctly from the combo of being a biology nerd, having gotten decent sex ed from books my parents gave me and sites like Scarletteen, and terrible sex ed from bad fanfic.

One of my classmates turned to me and asked how I knew so much since sex ed grossed me out so much I would puke.

Well, that’s the only kinda funny sex ed story I have. The rest of my stories are righteous fury about the strict no questions about homosexuality, masturbation, or abortion rules in 7th grade sex ed and when in 10th grade sex ed the abstinence only sex ed organization forced us to vote for them in a poll to get a grant for Pepsi (and if you did it twice you would get extra credit).

This was Virginia in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
