@merrillstan1@uranoutofluck Despite the fact that you all keep espousing this as fact with zero evidence & a bunch of insecurity projection, let’s say you’re right. Even if she sleeps with him, he is not going to magically find anymore respect for her. His insecurities will just be further validated.
@luzthegoosey I can’t wait to flag down a staff member at my nursing home to tell them about the fall of ‘21 & this fever dream ass postseason run.
@sydsofar I could get dementia & I will remember 2021 on my deathbed. This has been the most fun I’ve had with a WS since. There’s nothing boring about watching a hungry team take it.
@whitleysdaughtr@therio1baby These are the same people who will feel slighted when no one rsvps to their wedding, baby shower, etc. btw. If you’re too hyperindividual to compromise to keep family tradition alive, your family won’t feel welcome/compelled to share in your self-focused milestones.
@cicireion Maybe this is my optimism showing its ass, but if someone straight up interjects a decision I’m about to make on my behalf with no further elaboration, I assume they know something I don’t. He might’ve saved your life girl 😭
@_sorrengailll My response would be to offer one of those smart phones from Walmart for $50-100 instead as something to hold her over until she saved up for a new one. If she’s grateful, you know her hurt was genuine, but if not, this is an entitlement issue, full stop.
@VeeVeeFreeFox Exactly & even if you do recognize someone as attractive, personally I still feel like there’s a step in between attraction & being willing to pursue/cross that boundary. Chemistry is made up of so many intangibles that don’t just come down to appearance.
After being on this earth for 32 years, I truly understand how rare it is to come across genuinely good people. People you don’t have to teach basic human decency & consideration to. People who don’t have ulterior motives, people who are kind and caring. You really can’t teach people how to be a good person, it has to be in their hearts already.
@SmashBrosOd64@neyecee Someone proposed declining but offering to take them out to dinner for their bday, & I’m seeing them in the comments like “why do I even have to make it up to them?” & it’s truly just revealing how many folks have acquaintances of convenience vs friendships.
@Omgemeraldddd In a depressive episode, a friend told me “protecting myself doesn’t mean I’m abandoning you” & it changed the way I react to distance now. I had to sit with two truths at the same time. My depression WAS a heavy burden for others AND they still loved me.
@uncletypewriter Funny how they understand this in terms of “the divorce came out of nowhere” but when you apply the same concept to friendship, it’s “my friends disappeared on me when I became a mom” No girl, a lot of us have mom friends. You’re just a bad friend who happens to be a mom.
