2023.03.22 17:02 throwawayxlost I work as an afterschool teacher, the mean students and mean coworkers have been getting to me and causing me so much stress, idk how to not let it get to me. PMDD makes it worse

Yesterday was terrible! Some students were just awful and the overall environment is so overwhelming for me, i usually have to do a routine of helping the kids find their classes and telling them where to go, and all of them talking to me at once cause a lot of overload, i have to tell them to please get into the line so i can go one by one but they dont listen a lot and find myself repeating myself over and over. Same thing happens with misbehavior in class, and it just get tiring after a while i cant imagine doing this type of job for very long or at least becoming a good worker, as im getting too tired to keep disciplining the students/telling them to behave/correct for long period of time and them not listening.
The main teacher tells the student to please stop talking and making noise while she teaches and while a student is playing (this is music class) and then a few seconds later they go back to making noise or trying to sneak into making noise and i find myself having to remind them every 5 minutes even the main teacher! When i took them to the lunch room for a break for the class they run around, misbehave, one kid drew something and told me to guess it and i didnt know what it was and he was like 'what kind of teacher are you, you dont know anything'' i told him sternly that is not nice to say and he should be respectful!
Then the kids kept drawing poop and giving it to me as a present and thought it was funny, one girl wrote stupid on someones drawing for me and told them to 'give it to me' when i called her out seriously she denied saying she wrote that! she also lies a lot and is a troublemaker
in another class i helped the teacher to try to quiet the class down and one kid mockingly told me 'okay miss'' and was waving his hands and mocking my voice and tone, i told him again that is not nice and to quit that or i will get the principal here, and i just walked away because i felt i was gonna snap as i was already in a bad mood and i still heard him mocking me, a little more quietly behind my back. another girl gave me attitude when i asked her if that was her stuff, she also asked me why do i do walk with my hands in a certain way and another said why do i have a lot of hair on my arms,, i admit that got to me a little bit as i been self conscious about those things
While there are some sweet and good kids, the overall atmosphere is taking toll on me, i do need money so im trying to hang in there until i can find another job.
What a nightmare. My coworkers are hit and miss, some are not so supportive or friendly, one coworker dislikes me for no reason, she talks to everyone but me, she avoids me, don't not speak to me, is hostile with me, i saw her yesterday, i had to pass her and the thing she carried was blocking the entrance, i gestured i needed to pass and she gave me a cold look and just pressed her hand to move the thing away. I really did not like her vibe or her attitude with me!
im near my period too my mood swings are all over the place. im trying to find another job but no luck, my past experience have just been with kids but im tired of childcare and want to work in an office or somewhere more peaceful and less noisy with more mature coworkers!
do you have any tips as HSP to help feel less stress and affected by the environment? thank you

2023.03.22 17:01 dumbstinkybaby Snake wakes up if she hears me?

So exactly like the title says, anytime I'm near her vivarium she will come out from her hide and slither all over. I wouldn't say she's moving fast, abrupt, or panicked at all. She will also come up to the glass if I'm in front of it and rub her nose and body all over the glass and then will periscope towards the top of the cage. It's definitely not stargazing. My question is: Does this mean she wants to be held/out with me? Or is she being "defensive?"

2023.03.22 17:01 Debenham My boss-to-be is acting maliciously towards his current employer now that he's handed in his notice. Should I do something?

Hi all,
There is a lot of context here so please do bear with me.
I currently work in a building with multiple small businesses and currently work on the same floor as an organisation I used to work for. I have very strong links with that organisation, I'm friends with them all and I pop in their office throughout the day to use the drinks facilities.
Now, about 7 months ago they took on a new person. At the time, we all assumed they took him on to groom him for a higher role as he has lots of experience, is nearing 40, and it didn't make sense that he was taken on at the lower level. However, it turns out he was. His professional background makes him a far better fit for my organisation and 5 months in one of the guys tells me he's not happy there and looking to leave. He then tells me that too. (We'd chatted plenty over the months, gone to the pub with the others and by all accounts he seemed a bit quirky but relatively good-natured).
We simultaneously have a senior vacancy opening up so I chat to him and end up putting him in touch with my boss. After a couple of weeks and a couple of interviews the job is his, his notice is handed in and he's signed the contract (it is a contractor gig, so not proper employment). No problems at all from his current employer, they are all congratulatory.
This is where things get strange.
It begins with one of my ex-colleagues making me aware that sometimes this person would disappear in the afternoon and return as if he'd been drinking. Okay, weird but not the end of the world. Then, there is a problem with one of his references. Then, one of his former employers on his LinkedIn profile is exchanged for 'freelance writer'.
Now, we're hanging out on Friday in their office and he calls one of the guys (frankly, the most isolated of them all) and asks him to take a picture of the condom inside his (my incoming boss's) drawer. Its a commemorative one and there has been a bunch of them around the office for years and its a running joke. Now, this condom was jokingly put on his desk by the MD in reference to the guy going on some dates. At the time, no clear problem.
All of a sudden, the day after he signs his contract with us he says he's considering legal action against his current employer because, as he is a Catholic, this is bullying or workplace harassment or some such. Frankly, that is bollocks and this guy is not so thin skinned as to truly feel he was being bullied.
It seems that now that he's on the way out, and trying to get something out of them. He has also, all of a sudden, got a sick note to get him off of work for two weeks and prior to that was refusing to come into the office on Friday.
We work in a relatively tight industry and literally work 8 meters from this other office. As such, I'm beginning to wonder if the guy is not only acting maliciously but may be mentally unstable and could cause significant problems here.
I've not told my boss this yet, nor do the senior staff at the other organisation know that I know about all of this. This leaves me wondering if I should say something. Should we be hiring someone who is willing to threaten legal action over nothing and generally seems to have a duplicitous nature? Should I speak to my boss? Should I speak to one of the seniors at his current employer?
One final bit of context: my organisation is extremely small. At the moment I am the only full timer and the only one who uses the office, we have no-one remotely trained in HR as its all self-employment-based and I'll be working in pretty close proximity with this guy.
TL;DR My line manager to be has, since signing his contract with us, suddenly started taking sick leave and is threatening his current employer with legal action.

2023.03.22 17:01 Alexanderr965 I resisted today to pass near 2 people and not look back

On my way home from work, I walked and resisted to not look back at 2 people near I passed. It was painful as fuck to resist. First time in more than 8 months when I did this.
But now my OCD makes me believe I hurt them and stuff.

2023.03.22 16:59 ThrowRAGundam9 I (F21) do not like my roommate and best friend (NB20)’s partner (NB20) and wish they didn’t come over/hang out as much

Throwaway, obviously. Mild NSFW warning for some sexual themes later in the post. It won’t let me add that flair for whatever reason. I’ll probably delete this post after a while since I’m a bit paranoid that they’ll come across it. To preface, I kind of dug my own grave here, tbh. I acknowledge that, and I kinda hate myself for it.
My best friend and roommate, we’ll call X, has been dating Y for about two years. Y goes to another college and comes to our house over the weekends (Thursday through Sunday), so they’re here most of the time. X’s mom (who doesn’t like Y) tracks X’s location and doesn’t like them to go over to Y’s house because of the distance or something, I don’t really know the reason. So, Y is here a lot, and when we do things as a friend group on the weekends, Y is with us.
I’ve gotten along with Y fairly well and have previously considered us to be good friends. Even though I’ve always seen their blunt attitude as off-putting, I’ve gone the extra mile to make them feel included and to sometimes even text them when they’re not around. They’re not going anywhere, and they’re here all the time, so I wanted to have a proper friendship with them. I really wanted to like them; after all, we have a lot in common. I enjoyed a lot of my time with them before. We even, like, hooked up for a bit? With X’s complete consent. I’ll get into that later. This is before I noticed any of their strange behavior, connected the dots, and before my opinion changed. However, I wish I didn’t get that close to them before realizing that they’re being shitty to my friend, and shitty to our friend group.
I started to notice that Y treats X in ways that I’m not a huge fan of, and two other people in the friend group agree with this sentiment. After presenting X with this list, they took a break from Y, but they’re back together now because apparently Y has changed over the SINGLE WEEK that they weren’t together. Here’s the (non-exhaustive) list: - Y will constantly whine and force X to do things that X doesn’t want to do, like go to the department store at night even with X insisted that they don’t want to. They say that X has to do it because X loves them. This could be a joke, but apparently Y’s autism prevents them from joking around/messing with people (according to Y), so they might be serious. - During our spring break trip, Y constantly forced X to do things for them, and was the only person to not help clean up the place before checkout. Plus, they would whine whenever we’d do something they didn’t want to do, instead of occasionally making a compromise. - I had a weird threesome arrangement with the two when I considered myself closer to Y. It started when we were kinda high. The threesome thing moved onto an open-relationship type thing. In their arrangement, Y was allowed to have sex with me, but X wasn’t, even though X wanted to. Double-standard, I guess. I felt really weird being so involved in their relationship so I kinda backed out of it all/let it fizzle out. - Y whines and nearly yells whenever X does something “wrong,” like drink the rest of their drink, instead of trying to forgive them after X apologizes - Y once told X that they’d try to hurt themselves if X didn’t drive 2 hours to their house. They knew that X and I were hanging out. - Y asking ME (in front of X) to have sex with them because X won’t. They whined and said “why not?” When I said no. Made me feel bad for it, and I almost reconsidered. They knew that I was scared of being used for my body, and as a second choice to someone, so I found the ask kind of offensive. - Spills all of X’s personal information, preferences, and arguments to me - Insists on getting engaged to X even though X has expressed that they’re not ready for that. Does not seem to understand this notion. - Y told me “if X broke up with me id kill myself” and they did not indicate that it was a joke.
I’m tired. I wish I expressed my contempt for Y to X sooner. Y apologized to me for their behavior on the spring break trip, but I really didn’t care. I had the best weekend I’ve had in months during the single one that they weren’t around. I feel so guilty feeling like this, because X is my best friend and Y is also supposed to be my friend. Y is here right now, and the feeling of dread that I get in my stomach when they’re around has returned. I’m scared I might have feelings for X, because why else would I want them to break up so badly? I’ve thought about that possibility before, but I’m trying to be rational.
Me and two other people don’t want Y around, and I don’t know what to do anymore. What should I do? Is there a way to cope with this; should I shove my sentiments aside?

2023.03.22 16:58 redcherrieswithcream summer classes at ACC

hey y’all.
for those of y’all who have taken phys 303K or 303L over the summer at ACC, did you take it in-person or online? Is there an online option provided? I need to take either of those over the summer (depending on whether I pass this exam or not lol) and was wondering if there was an online version offered. I won’t be able to take it in-person option here because I’ll be back at home. I just wanted to see if taking it online would be an option since online classes are not offered at the community college near me.

2023.03.22 16:58 sebisalive Vocalist Looking to Start or Join Band [Roswell, GA]

Hey y’all, my name is Sebastien Hale, I’m 26 years old, and I’m looking to start a folk rock band. I currently produce all of my own music, so I’m looking for some help working up a few old songs, and writing some new ones.
I’m looking for people who are ages 22-30, LGBTQ+ friendly, located near the Roswell area (Alpharetta, Marietta, Sandy Springs), and available to practice on the weekends.
I would like to focus on vocals and mandolin/keys, so I need electric and acoustic guitar, bass and drums. I usually write solos and lead type stuff on the mandolin, so just need rhythm guitar.
I have put together the four songs that I would like to work up, and really focus on. We can work on acoustic stuff also, but probably just in new material.
Songs
My influences are kind of all over the board, but for the folky vibe I like The Decemberists and Mumford & Sons. Others include: Evanescence, Halestorm, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, Paramore, MCR, and lots of others.
Send me a message or email me at [email protected] if you’re interested. Thanks!

2023.03.22 16:57 melancholymarcia (Vent) I hate being treated like a fragile doll

I'm a fucking adult. You don't have to preface your completely normal questions with "I'm not trying to be offensive, can I ask you something?" You don't have to warn me that you might forget to use my new name, I'm not a child. I can understand the difference between purposeful deadnaming and an innocent mistake. You don't have to constantly walk around on eggshells near me for fear of upsetting me.

2023.03.22 16:56 slamsmcaukin Got contacts. Things are just as blurry. Minimal improvement if any at all

Mostly just in GT7. I’ve heard everyone saying the speedometer should be clear. It’s always been pretty blurry for me, can’t even tell if I’m driving in mph or kph, can’t read any of the buttons on the steering wheel either. I’m fine with it, I’m still enjoying it, but I went to get some prescription contacts so I can play it how its supposed to look. And it’s just as blurry, negligible difference if any at all. My eyes aren’t even that bad but I thought getting contacts should help a little bit. I’m near sighted as well if that makes any difference. Also yea I’m in the sweet spot and moving my head instead of my eyes to focus my view inside the sweet spot.
I’m just going to accept that this is how it is. My eyes are pretty good, I honestly don’t think a single person out there is seeing anything in the game any more clear than I am. This is just how it is I guess and I’m gunna go as far to say, anyone who says they’re seeing things crystal clear are just lying to themselves and everyone around them

2023.03.22 16:55 Super-Shenron Endless Cycle

Lilly hid behind a tree, her breath held as hard as she could. She cursed her burning legs as she peered around both corners for potential attackers. All she saw was a silent, unmoving walker on the ground next to a shed. Waiting about five minutes in the same spot, she checked her bullets. Two. Noting to make her shots count, she stepped closer to examine the body and gave it a light kick. Lilly took its lack of response as a blessing to dig through its pockets, glancing over her shoulder the whole time. But whoever killed them already took everything they had.
“Shit.” Lilly said. Yet, her hand landed on something firm but small…
A quarter. Virginia, 2005 was written on it. Her father never had that one in his collection, although Lilly could imagine his reaction if he did. Funny. After all he went through on the battlefield, these tiny pieces were one of the few things that brought him some solace. If nothing else, Lilly dared to hope he finally found closure. Amidst the endless pounding of their heart, the living could use such luxury.
“Ah!” She gasped, taken aback by a nearby rustling. In a steady and quiet pace, Lilly huddled back in her hiding spot with a trembling hold of her weapon. Was she really being followed? She couldn’t even trust her senses with how light-headed she constantly felt. She dared another peek… when a man burst through the leaves, carrying a pot of sunflower in his hands. It was normally Lilly’s cue to leave… but the glimpse she took of his face stopped her. Against her better judgment, she double checked…
“Oh god…” Lilly held her tightened chest and used the tree for support. He… was there. That fucking animal was right here. He had an unkempt beard and an eyepatch, but this wasn’t a face Lilly could forget. Not that she didn’t try to… but even her “sleep” wouldn’t allow her. Like she was still imprisoned in that meat locker. Like there was no way out… none except death.
It didn’t have to be her own.
Just as she was about to come out of hiding… the door of the cabin closed. He was definitely inside… but he’d see her coming. There would be better opportunities to make him pay.
To think she once tried to find common ground with that…
“... That guy.”
“Kenny.” Lee corrected.
“Right.” Lilly coughed. “You really think I should talk to him?”
“I guess that’s up to you.”
Despite his evasive reply, his flickering gaze from Kenny to her made Lee’s opinion on the matter clear. If they were to live together, it would be a lot easier to bury the hatchet.
Lilly met this man yesterday, but it already felt like she could understand him. Talk to him about a lot of things. Was it because they’ve been (quite literally) staring death in the eyes together? After spending so long planning or preparing for… the end, one would think she would be somewhat prepared for this.
Lilly turned to Kenny, who kept watch at the top of the RV. Next thing she knew, she let him take charge of the situation. And now she owed one to the last per How was she even supposed to go on about this? Something like “I’m sorry I was going to feed your son to these monsters”? This wasn’t gonna end well… but she was supposed to relieve him of his duty anyways.
She took a deep breath. “Here goes nothing. Hey, Kenny.”
As soon as Lilly announced her presence, the father’s very eyes wanted to bury her deep. “For the watch?”
“Listen…” Lilly rubbed the back of her left arm, “First, I wanted to… thank you, for helping me and my father back there… despite the circumstances.”
Kenny raised an eyebrow for a few seconds, before wearing a neutral expression. “It was just the right thing to do.”
“And… you should know I didn’t think he was in the right.”
“Could’ve fooled me.” Kenny replied through gritted teeth.
“We were all in a bad situation, Kenny. You saw what happened after that argument with my dad.”
“Oh!” Kenny laughed bitterly, “So now this is my fault?!”
“It’s not…!” Lilly inhaled and exhaled once more. “Look. Maybe that’s not an excuse but… he’s all I have left, and I’m doing whatever I can to keep him alive. Perhaps you can understand that?”
Kenny opened his mouth to say something else… but nothing came out of it. Instead, he had an almost vacant look on his face.
"Kenny?" Lilly called out to him.
"I… was just thinking of something else. It's not important.”
Lilly could tell it wasn’t true, but now wasn’t the time to ruin her progress with an inappropriate question.
“Well, what are you waiting for?” Kenny reached a hand towards Lilly, “Climb on."
Surprised by the offer, Lilly jumped up and let him help her up. There, she could see the walkers.
“Look at these guys.” He said. “All walkin’ around like they’re not about to fuck over the town. What do you think when you see them?”
“Lee asked me the same question.” Lilly said. “What’s even there to think?”
“I mean…” Kenny said. “When they talk about resurrection… I had a whole different picture in mind. Whatever happened to their souls-”
“Souls? What, you’re religious or something?”
“Born and raised a Christian man.”
“Well, I go back and forth. But religion and hope… Lee has seen the good it did that girl from the other night. It’s best to focus on being alive than relying on these things.
Kenny stayed silent for a few seconds.
“I’m aware this whole thing might be bullshit, Lilly. But where the hell would we be, if there weren’t people who believed in crazy things. Like that a piece of rock could somehow make a fire. Or… I’m sure Lee’s got historical facts for us. Point is, maybe we need to believe in some things to make it through this.”
“Well…” Lilly said. “I'm not in a hurry to find out which of us is right about the afterlife. Let me take over.”
“It’s alright. I think I’ve got another hour in me.”
“Okay… I’ll see you later.”
Lilly hopped down from the vehicle. While she refused to believe there was a golden house on a fluffy cloud with her mother waiting for her… at least they seemed to have worked something out.
Kenny watched the lady get further away from him before resuming his duty. An apology would’ve been nice, but realizing they were in the wrong would have to do for now. Besides… some of what she said wasn't total bullshit. His gaze drifted towards Katjaa and Duck’s room. If nothing else, these things gave him an opportunity to be with them. And he already had blood on his hands… it had to count for something.
Didn’t it?
“Why am I thinking about it all of a sudden?” Kenny muttered.
It probably wasn’t helped by… waking up early again. He had something to do anyway. Disregarding his canned food once more, Kenny picked up the pot and pushed the door open.
“Man…” his back made sure to remind him how old he was. About as soon as he came out, two walkers limped towards him. He briefly pondered over what it must have been like for them. Were they suffering on the inside? Or… was there nothing left? No longer weighed down by such things like age, or fearing for their lives… or being ashamed of anything they do.
Kenny kicked them both... barely staggering them. Another kick... and that was enough to knock down. Pondering on his unusual weakness, he continued on his path. His plans didn’t involve getting his hands dirty… besides, they could probably distract whatever was out there yesterday. He may have imagined it, though.
The former fisherman continued along the treeline to reach the makeshift tomb he had made. Too small of a grave for the pile of bodies he left in his wake, but it would have to be enough at that moment.
"Here, your favorite." Kenny said. “You know I was more of a fan of gifts that last… but what can I say? This world has a hell of a way to make you appreciate what doesn’t.”
He closed his eye.
“I didn’t look back, just like I promised not to. But Clem was right. I didn’t know these people. Or what will happen if this place falls one day. Should I have left her there? Am I even capable of looking after them?”
He tenderly touched the grave.
“Truth be told? I don’t even know what I’m doing here anymore. Do I even belong here? Sometimes… sometimes I catch myself thinking maybe it should have been me. You probably would have been smarter than me about things. You wouldn’t have tried to march people through a blizzard for nothing. You wouldn’t have… been alone.”
Kenny shook his head. "I guess it doesn't matter now. Same time tomorrow?"
Time had come to head back home. All this... somehow lightened the load on his heart somehow. Maybe today he would actually feel like feeding his body. Or better yet, actually grab some sleep. At least, it settled the argument: he truly was in no condition to take care of anybody else. In fact, he was more likely to drag them down with him and get them killed too.
When he pushed the door open, his blood ran cold a cold metal pressed against the back of his head.
“Guess your boat plan didn’t work out?” A woman said.
“The fuck?!” Kenny let out.
“Turn around. Slowly.”
Trying and failing to keep his heartbeat under control, Kenny did as he was told...
"Jesus..." Kenny muttered, as he faced the person he just about wanted to see the least.
Lilly approached with a smirk. “You remember me. Good. This will make things easier. Get inside.”
“The others aren’t with you. So, they’re dead?”
Kenny didn’t respond.
“Even… Clementine?”
Kenny kept quiet.
“Maybe they weren’t meant to live.”
“Just get it over with. We have nothing to talk about.”
Lilly pistol whips Kenny.
“There is the Kenny I know. Hasty as ever. You didn’t think we were gonna rush this, did you?”
“I know Clementine is still out there.”
This prompted Kenny to turn around, with Lilly smirking.
"My god, she IS alive."
“I’ll find her.”
“She will let you near her.”
“I will be the judge of that. You? You’ve got a different problem.”
Kenny grabbed Lilly’s wrist as he slammed her against the wall.
She could be anywhere.
Why? Why did she have to find him? Now, after all this time? It’s
Lilly stabbed Kenny.
He couldn't stop her now.
Again, he let her down. Like everyone else in his life.
He wanted this. He had it coming for so long. Now he was scared. So afraid. Why?

2023.03.22 16:55 sebisalive Vocalist Looking to Start or Join Band

Hey y’all, my name is Sebastien Hale, I’m 26 years old, and I’m looking to start a folk rock band. I currently produce all of my own music, so I’m looking for some help working up a few old songs, and writing some new ones.
I’m looking for people who are ages 22-30, LGBTQ+ friendly, located near the Roswell area (Alpharetta, Marietta, Sandy Springs), and available to practice on the weekends.
I would like to focus on vocals and mandolin/keys, so I need electric and acoustic guitar, bass and drums. I usually write solos and lead type stuff on the mandolin, so just need rhythm guitar.
I have put together the four songs that I would like to work up, and really focus on. We can work on acoustic stuff also, but probably just in new material.
Songs
My influences are kind of all over the board, but for the folky vibe I like The Decemberists and Mumford & Sons. Others include: Evanescence, Halestorm, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, Paramore, MCR, and lots of others.
Send me a message or email me at [email protected] if you’re interested. Thanks!

2023.03.22 16:54 timmosara How's your experience with the game post-balance patch?

Since the update the game has been virtually unplayable for me. Not sure how everyone else feels.I've noticed two things:
  1. The matchmaking has gotten EVEN worse- Any of my decks are paired with near perfect counters who draw EXACTLY the cards they need to defeat me. I climbed to 65 before the patch, and can't win more than 1 match without losing 3/4 or being forced to retreat. Now sitting at 62 and can't be bothered.
  2. The locations are becoming more brutal- I've had a few instances where I get Morag, Plunder Castle and Quantum realm in the same match, followed by District X twice, Mindscape twice then Weirdworld. Seriously, what the hell?! lol

2023.03.22 16:53 shoddy_boboddy Corporate Marriott WFH

Hi all of my Marriott International peeps! I started my Marriott career with corporate years ago and have taken on positions in sales, front office, and operations. I currently work for a franchise as it seems corporate owned hotels are disappearing. My goal right now is to get a WFH position with corporate but it seems nearly impossible. I have applied for a number of positions over the past year and I get passed over again and again. Could over qualifications be the reason? I’m applying for simple jobs that don’t need much experience. Is that working against me? Does anyone have any insight?

2023.03.22 16:53 kidikio What is considered melanated skin?

I was going to reach out to a tattooist but they are currently prioritizing melanated skin. I’m not black or brown, so my assumption is that I’m not lumped in that. But I am much tanner than others in my ethnicity. I’m East Asian, but have in the past been asked by other East Asians if I’m mixed in some part Latino or South East Asian. I’m definitely not. One of my parents just happens to be really tan and that got passed down to me. And then in the summer, I go several shades darker. Fenty shades wise, I think I average out to like a 10, which is labeled as medium. Would that be considered melanated?

2023.03.22 16:53 Loveforeugenia Feeling bored reading scripture and sitting through lectures

I can’t help but feel so bored. I started bible study fellowship on Wednesdays for spiritual growth for myself and my young children so we could grow closer to God as a family. I’m always falling behind on the lessons and catching up the day before when my leader texts me to ask if I have enjoyed the lesson. I enjoy the group meetings when I hear encouragement and talk with ladies about things they’re going through and getting to share what I’m going through, and just being able to have the power of a prayer group has been nice. I enjoy the community.
When we get to lecture I just feel so bored. They talk from 1015 - 11 and it’s basically a summary of the previous weeks lesson. When I read the lesson’s scriptures I could nearly fall asleep. Answering the lesson questions sometimes feels boring as well, I try to give my honest and personal answers but it is mostly simple Sunday school answers I give. I can’t help but feel it’s so boring. Looking at the lady giving the lecture she honestly sounds so miserable like she’d rather be doing anything else but give this lecture that feels more like a performance like she’s practiced giving this lecture at least 3 good times so by the time she actually does it she sounds bored with herself too.
I don’t want to feel bored but it is so boring. How can I make myself more interested?

2023.03.22 16:53 Ok_Cartographer6328 Need Advice for friend

Attached to friend with said disorder. She’s never been involved with anyone before. She never gave a commitment, and according to her we were “just friends”. But I could tell, and everyone around us could tell there was something going on between us. Her parents, sister, everyone noticed it.
She hardly texted and even ignored texts. But we exchanged snaps daily 2/3 times. And there was some texting at night. And we copied each other’s snaps, I think in a way it was like confessing love for each other.
Got blocked after confessing love directly on text. She gave warning before doing so but I doubled down on the love lol.
6 months later, she came to my house while I was blocked. ( for a family function, as our parents are close) Acted completely normal, and was only interested in spending time with me, and no one else at the party.
That day I could notice the signs of disorganised attachment and dissociation. Snapping at me, look of frozen terror when I was being romantic, laughing like a five year old girl when I was being flirty, zoning out etc. And she was confiding in me like a friend that day.
And before I got blocked and things were normal(relatively lol) she told me her deepest secret, even if it was just in a few words.
She has all the signs of a horrible childhood. After I got blocked I messaged using brothers phone like once a month but no reply. But she saw them. And never pressured her to unblock.
But after she came to my house, I added her to WhatsApp group with just us two, told her she was behaving bad, she left the group. Also told her she can say goodbye anytime, but DIRECTLY. But no goodbye, just left group. I Got brothers phone and told her to stop running away as that won’t solve anything. Then she accused me of harassing her( lashed out and wrote paragraph long texts to my brother about how I don’t respect her etc.) Told her sorry, will never message again. Then she said she will unblock me but to respect her boundaries as friend. Bullshit, as deep down she knows it’s more than that. But I’ll comply.
She’s Still unresponsive after getting unblocked.
My question is, is it better to keep sending texts periodically or to let her isolate completely and wait for her to come to me. I know the relationship is alive, I could feel it when she met me recently.
She’s in a very bad place and I’m ready to wait cause love. Lol.
It’s been 8 months since she initially blocked me. I’m still blocked everywhere except WhatsApp.
This is a very serious level of mental illness, I can tell. Even I’m somewhere along the lines of crazy , that’s why I understand her a little but nowhere near her.
Fine with being just friends as long as I’m there for her. Idk how that will work as it’s weird for a guy and girl to be just friends, specially near marriageable age.
