A lot of people post poor relationships in these places. I am not sure if all of them are real, but the real ones are certainly looking for help and not able to speak to the people around them for whatever reason. In the end we don’t owe anyone a relationship, even a familial one. “Give them a chance, they just made a mistake don’t throw your whole relationship away over (infidelity, abuse, etc), but they’re family” are pretty common and annoying because they make people stay in situations where they are clearly unhappy and are potentially being harmed. If people want to leave, there is no shame in that. It’s annoying on the internet because there is certainly a large amount of bot posts mixed in with real people who need help. Or people who describe horrible abuse and then defend their abusers…feels like rage bait.

Of course. I tend to utilize it across age groups due to some trauma. This is how I became “work mom” at 38, lol.

“Be the adult you needed when you were younger” is my version.

I am an expert in my field. Because I devote all my time and brain to being so. I am average to terrible at everything else. So many of us like to think otherwise. I don’t get why. I’m tired at the end of the day and I just wanna be bad at shit lol. Ego?

I don’t remember anything before 16 except a few flashes of things. It gets better from there.

That 46 year old is in decline, and that 25 year old is in their prime. They will likely have baggage, medical issues, and assorted hangups they may want to impose on the younger partner. They are possibly seeking a younger individual for predatory reasons such as someone young to have biological offspring with, that will put up with a variety of neglects, and will take care of them in the looming decades as they become more frail. All in all, a good time as consenting adults is whatever. But as a relationship? Do not recommend. You’ll be a nurse sooner than you think.

I see you’ve got the standard warthogs handling experience.

I’ll join!

It’s already been working like garbage lately. Wonder if this is related.

Not me, I’m into middle aged bears.

I like talking to real people. To me that’s a benefit.

Reddit also feels like it’s gotten less friendly to me as a woman. That’s just been my personal feeling.

“Roflmao” :(

Also: cool beans

I’ve had a couple interactions that left me feeling pretty meh. Idk.

Double warm socks, burrito blankets, only the head sticks out because non-existent monsters can’t get you if you can see them.

I was going to type this and I saw your comment. Glad I’m not the only one.

5. Needs are met.

I’d worry that people who shouldn’t see those confessions would be able to access them.

My masters in people science, fieldwork, etc.

There is no free will. None whatsoever.

Plantains and eggs.
