Obsession (2)

1 Name: Kitty : 2024-12-06 22:45 ID:yi9ZYvm8 [Del]

My partner got upset at me for fan girling over a character in a movie we were watching together, they told me they hate how I’ll fan girl over guys in shows (I only fan girl over anime btw not real people.) I feel kinda upset because I never thought it was a problem when we were dating, I’ve always been like this since I can remember (even as a kid) and I know I should try to not make my partner upset but when I think about it I get conflicted. It’s so reasonable for my partner to ask this of me because sometimes it can turn into me obsessing about a fake character, to the point I’ll buy merch of them.

2 Name: kat : 2024-12-22 17:12 ID:VU7HEeNI [Del]

you are allowed to fan girl over things. it's a completely normal thing to do. people buy merch for their favorite characters (and real people too!) all the time! i think your partner is being weirdly controlling in this. you are simply having fun so what's the problem? if it's a "you don't pay enough attention to me" thing then thats seriously concerning. having a favorite character is not a big deal "obsessing" over a favorite character is not a big deal. if you aren't allowed to look away from your partner for a little while to enjoy something that makes you happy, that is not okay.

This is a thread for telling secrets. From what I've seen, while you have the same ID within a thread, you have different IDs in different threads. So here we post secrets. With an anonymous name nobody knows who we are. I'll start.

I once long-distance dated a girl, who didn't realize she didn't have long distance texting in her phone plan, and I ran up her phone bill 50,000 dollars. When she told me this I blocked her, and got my number change. I probably ruined her life.

When there are just some people who trigger you that have delusions of killing them in some sort of way.

I have one of those "If we're both still single at 30..." pacts with a friend and as I approach 26, I'm starting to think it may be my best option.
I've known her since I was 14 and we both have helped each other through the lowest points in our lives. Even when we start drifting apart, we always find our way back to each other.
After my last long term relationship, I find it hard to build up trust with people now. But I already have tons of trust built up with her. And she's the type of person who completely owns up to her mistakes and actively tries to be better, so I can't even imagine her breaking that trust.
We've tried dating before, but our lives were too chaotic at the time and we both agreed that it wasn't best for us at the time. But recently, we've both made huge strides towards getting our lives together. I think having this time separately to figure things out has only enhanced our compatibility. It kinda feels like by time we're 30, a relationship is actually doable and healthy for us.

Or maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic..

The holidays (1)

1 Name: Family : 2024-12-20 05:56 ID:6rA+WMWa [Del]

This is a rant post, just need to get this stuff off of my chest. Going to meet the children of my god father later today, who I've met before but only when I was really little. I'm going to meet them with my whole family (my parents and siblings) but I really dont want to meet them. My god siblings are excellent people, and I would like to talk to them but my family is just so weird it gets awkward when trying to talk to them. I think I'm relatively decent but who knows, maybe I'm weird as hell as well and havent gotten the full picture. I'm not sure if this makes any sense, but an example is that my god sister is studying to be a doctor, my god brother is an engineer in the UK and the other one is graduated from Yale. I go to a uni in the UK and I think I study psych (hopefully in a few years neuroscience) but one of my brothers got kicked out of uni this fall bc of a failed resit, and somehow still has a weird complex (he is also autistic and depressed so he REALLY can't talk to people well- says he "hates small talk" and his go to for any conversation is: "what do you know about philosophy") and my other brother is ok, but he acts like he just doesn't give a fuck half the time, and can't be bothered to talk to people and it's embarrassing going out with them bc they don't know how normal people talk. It's just so humiliating among other things, such as I myself aren't very good with making conversation past "how do you find uni?" And that my parents and my got siblings all speak a 3 languages fluently, and I don't speak 1 of them well (their language of choice). It's always a bit degrading asking we can speak in English or if they can repeat something. I truly am trying to get better at that language but it's slow. In addition, bc of weird social norms in my family/country, I can't bring much else up other than uni. I can't connect with these people like in a normal setting and can't talk about things like things going on in my life which might actually be able to start a conversation. I want to meet them and make a good impression and not seem totally socially awful but with my family there with me that becomes sooooo difficult. So idk if I really want to meet them. For god's sake I'm in uni and there are still people I am meeting for the first time in my family. Unbelievable. Send your thoughts and prayers please, I'll need them

How to deal with people (2)

1 Name: Kisa-san : 2024-11-25 00:29 ID:OcaJGYOn [Del]

So I have REPEATEDLY told my boyfriend since long ago that if he doesn't want to talk or if we're in the middle of an argument, to NEVER just hang up. But he still does, even after 5 years of dating. He just...hangs up. And when he feels like it's already okay on his side, he's gonna talk to me like nothing even happened in the first place.

Honestly, it's very tiring and I'm REALLY considering ending this fucking relationship. But if there's any hope in saving this, then I'll save it. I know I sound crazy, but how do you deal with people who just hangs up the phone when they're mad and then talk to you several hours later like nothing even happened?

2 Name: stefnast : 2024-12-18 18:35 ID:XSbjE35O [Del]

To be honest, I am confused what is the problem here...

You were having an another argument about something and the guy felt that if the argument continues, it will get ugly so he decides to sop the argument but somehow that's a problem...

To me it looks like you are arguing with him for the sake of the argument and not to make a decision about a specific thing. I personally think that's kinda toxic from your side. Sorry.

there's a great loneliness (7)

1 Name: Anonymous : 2023-08-28 15:46 ID:r6GGUNyN [Del]

I absolutely hate discord, it's full of mentally ill people that make someone who's already anti social worse, but even prior to using it I was always a loner, didn't keep contact with any of my high school friends, switching work places often, I'm not close to my family either

I know things will get better eventually, get my shit together, maybe join some clubs, but damn, one thing I know for sure, it's nurture, not nature

as a kid I was a bright little thing, full of energy, smiles, maybe even a little annoying, some teachers thought I had ADHD, years of bullshit have jaded me down, thought it would pass in my teens but here I am as an adult, still feeling as cold as before

really though, why do I need friends? there's this notion that being a loner is a huge stigma, it probably ties back to primal times where not being in a "tribe" meant you were probably going to die sooner, but we're not cavemen anymore, we're in colder modern times where the world receives information faster than it ever has, everyone keeps a tracking device with them at all times, and relationships go as easily as they come often through a screen

I kept internet friends because that's all I was able to keep for a long time, but between being a therapist for random schizoids and being abandoned at the drop of a hat, it makes me want to leave it all behind and never look back, but even so I don't have friends offline either, I'm not socially awkward to the point where being around people scares me but I find being around others exhausting, I don't care for small talk, honestly it just feels like a waste of time

i know this post is months old but i feel you anon. i have never been severely bullied in real life but the first time i got hacked, stalked, and made fun of for months on end was off someone i met on a forum who used discord regularly. discord servers can be extremely toxic as well. i think, even if you are very lonely, you still want to be surrounded by people who "get" you at the end of the day. i dont think most people just want "any" friend, they want someone who understands them on a deeply personal level, which can be hard to find.

7 Name: Anonymous : 2024-12-12 21:52 ID:dBJQ/tT8 [Del]

Also bumping this post anon, it's relatable, I had a group of friends a couple years ago, they weren't the greatest looking back but I miss the feeling of belonging to a group, having birthday wishes, being able to joke around with people, watch TV with them, gaming, sharing photos and things... It's so stupid I know. I wish discord wasn't the only platform to seek this out online, I wish I could find diverse groups of friends, not just gamers or artists or gym rats, sometimes I wonder if I should just get used to being a loner, the pain will end

Dejando la mochila en un callejón (1)

1 Name: Hatto-san : 2024-12-10 04:48 ID:4anseZSg [Del]

Este post estará escrito en español ya que mi inglés es pésimo y me gustaría expresarme de la mejor manera posible.
Hola a toda persona que me esté leyendo, soy Hatto-san y en el 2020 escribí un post diciendo que no quería volver a mi trabajo. Fueron 4 años bastante duros en ese trabajo, en el que me trataban fatal y me explotaban laboralmente...A pesar de que yo siempre me porté muy bien con ellos, por cada segundo que pasaba en ese trabajo mi ansiedad aumentaba y mi salud mental pendía cada vez más de un hilo.

A día de hoy ya no estoy allí, ya que dejé ese trabajo hace 2 años, desde entonces me han pasado tanto cosas buenas como cosas malas, no quiero ser negativa, pero podría decir que fueron más las cosas negativas. Mi vida ha cambiado bastante desde entonces, aunque a día de hoy sigo pensando que estoy pagando el precio todavía tras haber dejado ese trabajo. A veces pienso que me desearon mal (me imagino que 2 personas del trabajo fueron...), aunque quizás es simplemente mala suerte...

Es mucho lo que ha pasado en estos dos últimos años, pero me quedaré con lo bueno, e intentaré que para el próximo año vaya todo mejor.

A todos aquellos que en estos 2 últimos años se han ido de mi vida solo quiero desearles que les vaya bien, y que les perdono, y espero que mis errores también sean perdonados. Tiro todo mi rencor y mi tristeza a la basura, para poder seguir adelante con las personas que caminan a día de hoy conmigo, y que por supuesto, les deseo un bien mayor.

I know you mean well, but your advice is like putting a sticker on a severed arm. Let's get to the root of it: society keeps women weak and defenseless through femininity.

The Drunkards Prayer (4)

1 Name: M : 2024-11-04 23:19 ID:EGY9K/MC [Del]

Oh Father, who art in Heaven,
harrowing be the name.

They Kingdom come, thy will discussed.
Over scotch whiskey, served neat.

Give us this day, our daily bread.
Preferably in liquid form.
Let those who trespass against us be scorned forevermore.

I've been led to my temptation by a mixed drink's icy chill.
If you won't tell me the answers, perhaps the bottom of this bottle will.

For thine is my kingdom, my pile of dirt.
I'll make sure that I'm not around before it gets worse

Boyfriend problems (1)

1 Name: Nitella : 2024-11-15 12:29 ID:XmXrTQmP [Del]

Hi guys. I posted here a few months ago talking about my relationship. I'm just going to rant on here now. He really isn't as sweet as he used to be. I really miss how it was before and it all really hurts. I am almost constantly being let down by him for having expectations for things he used to do, and it all just hurts so much. I always have a really hard time coping with it in the evenings, bc I don't really have much to do and I start thinking about it a lot. Other than the fact that I think I'm in love with him, it's beneficial for me to be in a relationship with him at least until the end of this year or until the end of my degree. I hate that he's acting like this but I feel like when I tried talking about it to him last time he distanced himself from me. It's not awful, but I wish he would prioritize us more and be more affectionate. Which is difficult to ask for bc he is so busy all the time and I'm scared of losing him. I really wish he'd be coming to me more and we can have a closer relationship.

Malleable Passion (1)

1 Name: Anonymous : 2024-11-06 05:52 ID:QECtbPB8 [Del]

I get lost in the flow of your words to a smile. Captivating my soul in a trap so elaborate it would be called “going through life”. The pleasantries never spoken yet infinitely heard. It’s blasphemy. That someone so beautiful can touch so many hearts and ever be affiliated with the poison of humanity. It may not be a love letter, but if love is the question I carried it passionately till it burned up in my hand and now there is nothing but the pleasant thoughts of your voice swaying me to sleep like the slow rain drizzling on my window, with my head rested on the cool pillow of your breast. It’s maddening, I choose open-ended analogies because my dream is a fantasy but it allows me to keep my heart covered with the thoughts of possibilities. Maybe one day right?
