@Romy_Holland @climatepaige Audhd?

i really don’t like incessant noise. i have to wear my noise cancelling headphones when there’s a leaf blower. i also really like having interesting conversations and get irritated when im bored. i used to get in trouble in school for acting out when i was bored. i am not proud of these qualities but they are pretty strong traits of mine. i have a sister and a brother who also never stop talking about things i find boring and sometimes i feel like im gonna die when its happening

i understand why ppl do small talk when they are first meeting someone, but why do some ppl do compulsive small talk all the time? my MIL just by default talks nonstop. “do you think all of that will fit in that suitcase? i always check my suitcase, don’t want to be lifting it on the plane. i take it to the gate and check it there. they let you check it for free!” “uber is here! last time i took an uber it was a prius. hard to get ubers at my house, have to call ahead.” “i talked to margaret. did i tell you that? she called me. she’s getting ready to go to the airport. 2pm fight for her. but she’s flying domestic. gets in in the evening.” but like basically nonstop for hours. never anything that needs to be said, always just kinda autobiographical and impossible to respond to with anything other than “mmmm.” it is very much the same as someone following me around with a television playing nonstop ads, but if i don’t kinda pay attention to the ads i am rude. not only can i now not have a normal conversation with my fiancé, i cannot even have interesting thoughts in my own mind.

@Corbienest I thought that's what organised meant as well

I briefly went to boarding school (the same one Uma Thurman briefly went to - but I digress), and in the student handbook it clearly stated: No tree climbing, except as an organized activity. Well, I was always happiest in a tree with books or a friend. I’d often suggest as we sat on the common: Let’s climb a tree. And we would. One day, as 7 or 8 of us were chatting in a very large willow, a dorm mother came by and said: No climbing trees, except as an organized activity! Spencer just looked at her and said: But it is organized. Corbie always organizes it. This seemed to satisfy her and no one ever challenged us again.

@flabbytofit99 Couldn't you have just stayed home?

My wife walked away from six figures when our first was born without hesitation. We cut back our expenses and I set out to replace her income. Took me 3-4 years but I got it done. Now we have 4 kids that have never set foot in a daycare. Happy we did it. What sacrifices did you make for your family?

@shaunking When I walked quickly to a meeting but can't cover up the fact I'm out of breath

What in the hell is she even doing?

@KarlWuckert The eye thing

Everyone has a moment. What was it that made you start questioning Erika Kirk?

@RemyTheRedVT @samson_samsen I will never empathise with child molesters or child murderers. Yet think I am empathetic.

@samson_samsen Nope. A man who cannot forgive is someone who lacks empathy. A lack of empathy inevitably leads to a willingness to do harm because the absence of empathy is what allows men to rationalise atrocities.

The unforgiving person is the closest thing to a “good person,” even more so than the forgiving or empathetic person. A forgiving person is capable of forgiveness because he finds it easy to understand the behavior of those who offend him. This understanding is a function of possessing the capacity to act in a similar manner as those who offend him. He too is capable of hurting someone, and he knows it. However, a man who is incapable of forgiving people is equally repelled by offending them. He has a rigid but consistent ethical stance: he will not hurt, and he will not forgive when he is hurt. His lack of agency to be cruel to people mandates his lack of understanding for cruel character and thus makes him unforgiving of it. He will not forgive you for doing unto him what he cannot do to you. Right there is a good person.

@SandraR12178853 @Theblackfemini3 And call them residential schools 😒

@Theblackfemini3 I’d like that every child wellbeing was placed before their ethnicity and be rescued. I also believe that it is time to build boarding schools in central areas capturing remote communities to the children to ensure their wellbeing and education until the cycle is broken.

I thought most people knew about town camps/missions It's been like that for as long as I can remember, though when i was young and visited, you could always tell the elders homes, clean homes, lawns mowed, gardens, and pride, no parties. I never lived on the mish When I was little, I hated the parties, I hated being in the cars driven by drunks, and I hated being dragged out of bed to be taken to another persons house party put on a strange bed. I hated having to hug the many aunties and uncles goodnight. I would lay in bed listening to them partying, playing music, laughing, coming near my bedroom, then the music got turned down, the talking got louder, people would start to leave when the fighting started and thats when i knew what was coming and hid under my bed shaking and sobbing. Luckily, I survived. That's not an exaggeration. Kumanjayi little baby, my heart is broken for her. This has to stop

Told a grumpy gym employee who never smiles that i liked his shaved head. He said “thanks, I shave it every year to honor my son who died of cancer” Normally this would throw me off and I would awkwardly apologize for bringing it up, but I thought of the grieving parents on here who have said over and over that they enjoy talking about their kids, so I asked about his son. He absolutely lit up and told me all about what a wonderful man he grew into, obviously just happy to share his memory. So thanks, everyone, for sharing. It makes a difference irl

@Halo_chains She's lucky she's alive after kicking a dog (cause she wouldn't be if it was my dog). People who hurt animals are psychopaths.

AITAH for banning my 15yo stepdaughter from our house after she kicked our dog? I (35F) married my husband 4 years ago. His daughter has hated me since day 1. I’ve tried everything , loved her like my own, included her in everything, painted her room, always been there for her. Nothing worked.Her anger keeps getting worse: destroying our stuff, smashing TVs, punching walls, kicking doors off hinges. She’s been to juvie 3 times, fights at school (broke a girl’s nose & arm). We have a 2yo toddler and I live on eggshells. Today she fought with dad, then kicked our dog hard. I snapped. Packed her bags, called her mom, and told her she’s not welcome back until she controls her anger. Now her mom & aunt are spamming me with hate. I’ve been patient for years and suggested counseling (mom refused). I just want safety for my toddler and pets. AITAH?

@wynrosei How many people are having his child, disgusting

Just saw video of a Black woman who had lipo on her upper body and her doctor severely SA’d her while she was under anesthesia. They sent her home while she was still on anesthesia which is extremely dangerous. When she came too she started feeling intense and unbearable pain in her private area and throat. When she went to the hospital, the damage to her private area was so severe the doctor demanded a rape kit be done only to find semen in her cervix. She’s in a lgbtq+ relationship btw. She also had to get her uvula removed from her throat because of how severe the assault was. All this happened the same day as her surgery. Women can’t even get surgery without feeling safe.

@Deseiye_ The path they chose is not your fault

Two weeks ago, I almost ignored a call from an unknown number. I was tired, it was late, and I didn’t feel like talking. But something made me pick up. A small voice said, Hello is this the person who owns this number? I said yes. There was a pause, then she said, I found this number on a piece of paper my brother kept. He passed away yesterday and I’m trying to figure out who he was talking to before he died. My heart dropped. I checked my chats and realised I had spoken to him just three nights before. He had sent a simple message: Things are hard, but I’ll be fine. I had replied hours later: You’ll be okay. Stay strong. That was it. I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t dig deeper. I thought it was just another casual conversation. On the phone, his sister said quietly, You were the last person he reached out to. I didn’t know what to say. After the call ended, I just sat there staring at that message. Now I think about it differently Sometimes people don’t need advice. Sometimes they just need someone to notice that they’re not okay. Since that day, I reply faster. I ask one more question. I pay closer attention. Because you never really know what someone is going through. 💔 Have you ever ignored a message and later wished you hadn’t?

@iky_fwjett But, I am the only one still friends with her, and they are divorced now.

@iky_fwjett I ended up getting dumped from the bridesmaids from my friends wedding. I was going through alot, and planning to move country, and didn't really have time to be making diy table toppers. But I was loyal. One of the groomsmen dropped out, so to keep numbers even I was out 1/

@Dammi_Esq Autism, but also do not blame a woman for what she is wearing ever

I’m this calm today because I honestly don’t even know what to do anymore. My 13-year-old son and I have been having serious issues, and instead of support, my friends and family keep saying I spoiled him. He can’t clean or even bathe himself properly I still have to step in sometimes. He’s the kind of child who talks back a lot. I’ve always believed the solution isn’t to raise your hands, but to understand what’s going on with him and what he might be dealing with. But what’s really keeping me up at night is what happened last week he fought me and even fought my mother, pushing her to the ground. Then my house help complained that he touched her inappropriately. I checked the CCTV and saw it, but I also feel like the way she dresses contributed. I’m not trying to excuse his behavior, I’m just trying to make sense of everything. He’s been through a lot his father left early, and people keep asking him about it. I feel like that has made him b!tter. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I need help. See what my ex-husband has caused? 😭😭😭😭

@NglMaya Weed can be a treatment for cancer related symptoms, so it wouldn't be the worse thing

There was a woman at my former church who had Stage IV cancer. She loved to bake and no longer had the strength. She posted a cake recipe she loved, so I made it for her as a surprise. I presented it to her the following Sunday. Her eyes filled with happy tears. She excitedly told Pastor Jeff about it and he replied, "I wouldn't eat it; Maureen probably put weed in it." Yes, a "man of the cloth" accused me of drugging a cancer patient. I did not. When confronted, he was "just joking."

@marriedmn Tell the husband to satisfy you, make solutions like going on dates etc

I love my husband… but I’m not in love with him anymore. He’s not abusive, he doesn’t cheat, he’s a good father and provides everything. But there’s no spark, no excitement, no emotional connection, the sex is boring he doesn't even satisfy me. I feel like I’m living with a roommate I share kids with. There’s another man who makes me feel things I haven’t felt in years… and it scares me how easy it would be to cross that line. Is it selfish to leave a ‘good man’ just because you’re no longer happy… or is staying worse?” What should I do?" -- From my Dm,, share your advice here.

@Bennieeexyz Move out

Y’all… I don’t even know how to say this without sounding crazy, but I’m breaking down over here 😞 I’m 20, an only child, and my mom still sleeps in my bed almost every night. For the past year I’ve been venting about it and nothing changes. We’re in a two-bedroom apartment, my dad snores like a damn chainsaw, so she “has no choice” but to crash with me. I’m a guy trying to grow up and I have zero privacy. The bathroom is literally the only place I can be alone. I get home from late classes exhausted, just wanting to chill in my own room, but she’s already tucked in by 9:30. Phone too bright? “Turn it off.” TV on? Big sigh and “We don’t live in the bed!” If I don’t follow her 7 a.m. work schedule I’m “disrespectful.” She demands stuff in MY room but never says a word to my dad. Then comes the guilt trip: “I pay the bills here,” “My back hurts,” “You don’t understand how tired I am.” I love her so much it hurts, but I feel so trapped and lonely in my own home. I’ve tried talking, boundaries, sleeping on the couch.... everything. She just gets emotional and climbs back in like it’s normal. I’m 20 and I can’t even have my own bed. I feel like I’m suffocating. I’m not trying to be ungrateful… I just want some space to breathe. Some privacy. Some peace. What do I do? I’m honestly losing it.

@RoadknightThe Native Canadians do it too

@RoadknightThe It was invented 60,000 years ago, it got a name in 1976

I can't find when the first Acknowledgement or Welcome to Country was performed at ANZAC commemorations, although it's obviously comparatively recently. But the question is: if we didn't have it soon after its invention in 1976 for a decade or two, why do we need it today?

@KeruboSk It's not "buying a house together" then. He can do 100% if he wants it in only his name

My boyfriend and I are planning to buy a house together after dating for 3 years. He earns significantly more than I do, so he’d be contributing about 70% of the down payment. Because of that, he wants the house to be only in his name. He says it’s just “fair” based on the numbers, but we’d both be living there, splitting bills, and building a life together. I’ve been watching a lot of relationship content about equity vs equality, and it made me realize things don’t always have to be 50/50 but this feels like I’d have no security at all. He said if we ever broke up, he’d “do the right thing,” but that doesn’t really reassure me. My friends say don’t move in unless my name is on it. His friends apparently think I’m being entitled. Now I feel stuck between trusting him and protecting myself. Is this a red flag I’m trying too hard to rationalize?
