In my head, Joseph Bailey41 is standing at least 5'9", slim but definitely feminine. She’s got this long black hair she just tosses aside when she starts getting witty and sharp-tongued.
Between that innocent "little girl" look in her eyes and a vocabulary that belongs in a sailor's bar, she's something else 😁.

Basically, she looks exactly like the profile picture here 😛.

I just want Joseph Bailey41 to stop acting like Lutka Ljutić.

Joseph Bailey41 sports this lovely, straight, brunette hair that falls in a gentle half-arc, and she’s truly someone who finds pure joy in the simple pleasures, whether it’s enjoying a good drink or sharing a warm kiss. 🥳

Well, there goes my image of you being a total class act 🙄.

analogangler8 said:Hi,
I’ve been wrestling with this one for quite a while now.

What defines a "bitch"?
Why is it considered such a negative trait when a woman refuses to be walked all over and simply speaks her mind about what bothers her?
Apparently, wanting the best for yourself is "bad" because you're supposed to just settle for whatever comes your way.
I’m single and don't have kids, and people in my town love to rub it in my face, acting like I'm somehow "above everyone else" just because I haven't tied myself down yet. They act like choice is an illusion. My response? I don't care about anyone else's business, and I certainly don't live my life according to their rules. I'll marry when I find the right person. I definitely won't settle for someone I don't actually like. To be honest, I also know deep down that I don't have much to offer right now—people have really hammered that idea into my head—but I refuse to look for a partner until I have my career and my own stability figured out.
How do I move past this constant belittling?
How do you all define a "bitch"?

Even my brother called me one, but honestly, he isn't exactly the gold standard for relationship advice given his own track record, so I won't bother addressing his specific opinion.

Do we really live in a society where women who aren't married are viewed as "lesser," giving everyone the right to shame them? Do we truly have no agency in our own lives?

The age-old question.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it applies universally, though it is easy to cast such labels. There is a distinction between fighting for one's rights and merely indulging one's impulses. The real issue is the arbiter—who is doing the labeling? Ultimately, the critic matters very little. If your intentions are honorable and you speak your truth directly, that is a virtue. It shows a lack of surrender.😁
Regarding family and children, there is no biological or social deadline, whether you are in your 20s or your 40s. Many exceptional women choose to remain single, often possessing remarkable cognitive or creative talents. It is a historical constant that those who deviate from the norm face discrimination. This applies to everyone deemed "lesser" or "greater" by the collective.

I have encountered plenty of "top-tier" bitches; they even find their way into politics... which is predictable.
They may lack character, but they possess status.

Exactly...
and honestly, we shouldn't have every amateur suddenly acting like a martyr—claiming "well, I won't let them walk all over me"—just because they're involved. 😉

PS: Man, this weather is miserable lately... 🕺 you following the indie scene? 😁

Greetings, my friend briskwalker10

I have been dedicating considerable effort to various socially impactful endeavors in the real world 😁. In fact, during the late hours this past Saturday, I happened upon a truly refined and fascinating individual—one of those rare types of people that seems to be vanishing from our society altogether
. So, there it is... one must actually work toward meaningful change, rather than merely leaving words behind on a screen. It seems many people lack the capacity to grasp either what they write or the profound implications of what has already been stated
.
Regards

Indeed, life has a peculiar way of throwing curveballs just when you think you've finally found your footing. It’s in those moments that you find yourself staring back at a reflection that feels entirely foreign.

How can those who consider themselves "normal" offer any meaningful assistance to those who feel they are anything but? 🤔 ... Whether the approach should be mutual or one-sided remains to be seen... 🕺

This thread could serve as either a sanctuary or a refuge, provided we indulge in a bit of psychoanalysis and some necessary reality checks.

To be honest, I actually find it kind of comforting when I realize someone else is even more out there than I am. 🕺

My advice—without saying which group I belong to—is simple: just pretend you're normal. In a digital space like Reddit, that’s easy enough. Or, if you really need to talk, maybe stick to discussing the weather on Psychology Today. 🙂

I'd suggest the same thing you did, just with a slight twist. 🙂

This thread could serve as a sanctuary or a retreat completely free from psychoanalysis and reality checks. Everyone stays sane!

You can do it!

That wouldn't work. I try that in my actual life all the time. 😁

(It mostly works for me, though they've probably already forgotten that I voted for Dražen Budiša. Twice. 🤦 )

And why are you even chiming in? You're clearly out of your mind. No offense. 😁

Is someone who talks to trees and practices shamanism considered "normal"? 🤔

Ask yourself just one thing: do you actually think you’re feeling lucky? ... Not so tough now, are you, girly girl? 😬

And frankly, this particular corner of the internet isn't exactly the place to go looking for sympathy.
