ironraven13 said:Yeah, sure... he gets to go out and hang with his buddies whenever he wants, but not me. Because I’m a girl. And because everyone’s staring at me.
And yeah, I'll probably just get raped.
ironraven13 said:Look, if someone’s being selfish here, it’s him. Period.
He’s acting way too protective over me—it's getting ridiculous. I tell him I want to go out, and he basically finds every excuse to make sure I stay put.
First, he fills my head with all this paranoia about maniacs out there—telling me I’ll get mugged, drugged, or worse... just straight up attacked or killed.
And then, he acts all satisfied when I just end up staying home. And he honestly thinks that isn't selfish?
It leads to this other thing where I’ll say, "Fine, then YOU come with me." But nope, he’s not down for that—says he’s not "that kind of guy," or we have nowhere to go,
or at best, he suggests we hang out with his group of friends. And what actually happens? We end up sitting in front of his TV like I’m some 70-year-old grandma
with absolutely nothing better to do with my life.
Maybe I haven't fully "grown up" yet, but I’ve been through enough crap in my life to know what's what. He uses his selfishness as an excuse to "protect" me,
which really just means he keeps me trapped. It's gotten to the point where I'm sneaking out of the house and telling him I'm still inside just to get a moment of freedom.
So, I figured I’d just ask him to go out with me instead—you know, give it a shot. But he’s just not feeling it; he’s really not the type for that sort of thing, and honestly, we don't have anywhere to go anyway.
Laura Murphy3 said:And what about the rest of it?
The lack of confidence, or finding oneself stuck in those social anxiety loops—or whatever the hell we're calling it these days?
What about all those random, scattered feelings that pop up at different times throughout the day, all tied back to that whole mess? 🙂

Samuel Martinez19 said:Oh, you "had to"... really?
🤣
driftingpilot said:Exactly what I was thinking.
We really need to draw a line between actual clinical psychology and this self-help stuff... 🙂
Anyway, enough chatter—I'm tired of just padding my post count while we wait for an actual moderator to show up.🙂 😁

casualharbor9 said:... I guess we'll find out soon enough... in the meantime, please: let's keep the trolling to a minimum 🙂
... just kidding, obviously... 😂
Linda Taylor11 said:More like an excuse to fuel a binge-eating habit and rot your brain watching trashy reality TV. 😬
🤣
Linda Taylor11 said:It's just gone now. Gone. 😈 🤣
I honestly have no clue if this is supposed to be a general chat sub-forum, a place for personal venting, or just... whatever this is. I’m kind of lost. Could someone maybe explain how I can actually start some super intelligent thread on here today? Like, what's the process?
Thanks! 🙂 😬

Or are you gonna play the whole "protecting my competitive edge" card? You're the one who literally said "education equals value," remember?
But seriously, nobody’s out here trying to raise a saint, right?
