DOMESTIC PRESALES
Back to Black Thursday Comps/Predictions: $0.35M/$0.37M

• abracadabra1998 ($0.35M Thursday comp. Probably looking at EA around $100k from these numbers, it's limited to Dolby only though so it's quite tiny (May 15). Yikes bikes (May 12).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($0.39M Thursday and $1.21M Friday comp. We're back up to $.3M-$.5M Thursday while Friday is pretty consistent, still around $1.15M-$1.4M. Estimated OW: $4.5M-$5.5M (May 16). Knocking this down to $.25M Thursday. Despite relatively strong sales, comps are low around $1.25M for Friday (May 15). Not great. Let's say $.3M (May 14).)
  
• el sid ($0.38M Thursday comp. Average tomorrow will probably be around 400k (May 15).)
  
• filmlover (Looking at the sales even for the early shows on Wednesday it's on the anemic side (and nothing that's likely to boost it over the next days). Feels like we're about to see how low a biopic about a famous musician can go (May 10).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($0.38M Thursday comp.)
  
• Relevation ($0.26M Thursday comp. And for how shitty IF did, Back to Black cratered even harder, and likely would've been the worst selling movie I've ever tracked had I not run numbers a little late. Sub-$300K THU and a $2.5-4M OW (May 15).)
  
• Rorschach (Zero tickets sold on Thursday and only four on Friday. I don't think I'll be missing much (May 13).)
  

IF Thursday Comps/Predictions: $1.72M/$1.80M

• abracadabra1998 ($1.5M Thursday comp. Really good update here, FINALLY! Been waiting for this. This is encouraging for sure. With this growth now maybe shooting for a finish near 1.75 or maybe even approach 2. Eek. Zero sales day only a few days before previews, when you're dealing with a very low baseline. I'm not sure what's happening here (May 15). Most comps did move the right direction. If it keeps trending up perhaps I can see a finish around $1.5M Thursday. One thing to peep at: the MTC1 ratio (59%) is unusually large compared to other family releases. At T-2, other releases' MTC1 % was at: KFP4: 51%, Migration: 34%, Wonka: 59%, Wish: 35%, Trolls: 24%. So much more comparable to Wonka and KFP4; maybe something to think about when looking at keyser's numbers and thinking of the ratio there (May 14). My model has been pretty good for animated/family releases in the past, hence why every comp is so eerily similar. Still, looking at others' numbers and how much lower mine are, I am wondering if summer break might be something to consider here; from what I am aware, here in Minnesota most school districts don't start break until June (May 13). Hoping for some real acceleration this last week but not looking good (May 12). One week out, not impressed in the slightest (May 9). Rising against comps as expected, due to the short release window, but I am still failing to see anything that suggests the numbers given by some other outlets (May 5).)
  
• AniNate (All I can say is if you look at Tinseltown Canton presales the IF projections ($30M+) seem pretty reasonable. I will grant they might've booked more screens than necessary for it (May 16). I'm gonna guess that Nick IP spot for IF this morning ratcheted up interest, Fri-Sun sales at Canton now close to 200. Also of those 200 about 50 were for XD. Not the usual overwhelming presale split but not insignificant for a kids movie also playing on two standard screens (May 13). 45 sold at the five nearest Cinemarks for Thursday previews so far, so yeah there's evidently some kind of regional variation (May 13). I definitely haven't seen as much of a rush here with Garfield as with IF (May 11). I dunno, I have no comps but I feel like local presales is a pretty sizable haul a week in advance for an original non-Disney kids movie (May 9).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($2.43M Thursday and $8.49M Friday comp. Not a great day. Back down to $1.75M-$2M Thursday but pretty good day for Friday, bumping up to $7M-$7.5M. Estimate OW: $27M-$29M (May 16). Comps mostly are up. Adjusting up to around $2M-$2.25M Thursday. Unless this plays like Elemental, we're aiming around $6.5M-$7M Friday. Estimated OW: $25M-$27M (May 15). Definitely looking around $1.75M Thursday for now (May 14).
  
• DAJK (Selling pretty well so far here (May 4).)
  
• el sid ($2.4M Thursday comp. Friday up so-so 116% since last Monday. I chose Jungle Cruise, Dolittle, Elemental, Minions 2 and Sonic 2 as comps (always counted on Monday of the release week for Friday) and the true Friday number for IF would be 6.6M at the moment. In this case the comparison numbers were very similar, around 6-7M. Overall it was a boring counting today which lasted too long for so few action. And judging from some random samples Garfield also saw no significant jumps (I also didn't expect much, it's still too early IMO). Thursday up 92% since last Monday. I hoped for a bit better jump till today :( but it's also not too bad. So for Friday no big numbers but up 75% since last Monday (and the jump must have happened pretty recently) (May 13). Up 73.5% since Monday (where it had 143 sold tickets). Best sales in California, not doing too bad between the coasts. The number today is ok to me (May 12). Not really signs for a breakout for Friday so far, but very solid. It will not really get 4-6M Thursday e.g. compared to Migration but from most comps the number could be pretty decent (May 7). Looked good for the film, both on Thursday and on Friday (May 6).)
  
• jeffthehat ($1.90M Thursday comp. Slipped a little vs. comps. Sub-20% growth seems bad at this stage and opening size for a family film. But maybe walkups are better than presales suggest. Thinking $1.8m +/- $0.2m tomorrow (May 15).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($1.62M Combined SizeAdjusted+GrowthModel Thursday comp. $1.50M Santikos Thursday comp. Sticking to the 1.5m - 1.75m range. I'm looking for a +40% final day that would finish at 1.8m avg comps and 1.62m growth forecast. I'm not ruling out 2m, but it would need to have a very good day (May 16). Raising my expectations to 1.5 - 1.75m range. I don't really have a good feel for what age this is playing to (May 15). Thinking somewhere in the 1.2m-1.5m Thursday range despite a couple of higher comps (May 14).)
  
• keysersoze123 (Friday pace is promising (May 16). Dont think even if it doubles the gross, 2m is locked. But even if it does, it would barely do that much. Let us see how walkups go tomorrow. Pace is really meh for T-2. $1.75m ish for previews. OW should be similar to what I saw yesterday for now (May 15). I would say it should hit 2m previews or even more if walkups are strong. OW probably in mid to high 20s for now. Its Friday sales are not that much higher than thursday for crazy IM like say Panda 4 (May 14).)
  
• Relevation ($1.18M Thursday comp. IF completely tanked here, brutal comp average with no good comparisons at all. $1.2-1.5M THU and something in the ballpark of an $18-24M OW? (May 15).)
  
• RichWS (15 screen theater near me is giving IF peak Marvel number of showings. I know it's short and the market is quiet, but damn (May 14).)
  
• Rorschach (Good growth for IF, especially after Tuesday's abysmal sales (May 15). Even with no comps to go off, this growth seems pretty weaksauce. I guess we'll see how it goes tomorrow (May 14).)
  
• Shawn Robbins (The pre-sales I'm seeing in multiple markets are little better than I think some expect here. I wouldn't be shocked with a number between 2 and 2.5 for Thursday, as well as big jumps on Friday and Saturday. The flip side of that coin is the reviews... although kids won't care. Could see 40 happening if this plays super strong in family markets and outside coastal cities like I suspect it could, but I'm surprised the studio didn't low ball it a little more to be safe... especially since we had been very publicly keeping our range in the high 20s/low 30s from the bottom end (May 15).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($2.39M Thursday comp. Really not much going on. Don't think walkups will be super strong either (May 13). Not much growth (May 10). Pace is collapsing a bit. Continues its downward trend (May 7). After a strong start, this has cooled off quite a bit (May 4).)
  
• Tinalera (Pretty quiet Vancouver and Calgary area (May 13).)
  
• vafrow ($0.6M Thursday comp. Well, we finally got something. It still lags behind comps, and if I could be bothered to track walk ups, I'm guessing this will do okay. But it's still lagging some very reasonable comps by a large margin here (May 16). It's going up, but slowly. The thing that hit me looking at the numbers is that the most popular format so far is the VIP theatres, which are 19+. With such low sales, you can't read too much into anything, but it kind of speaks to how this isn't grabbing the family crowd (May 14). Some marginal movement, but we're running out of time for this. At this stage, I expect my market is an anomaly, but I still hope and expect it will close the gap in the final few days (May 13). Still nothing (May 12). Still nothing happening. I did check Friday sales, and it was a lot stronger with 51 tickets sold. That's better, but still not tremendous. I also checked the wider radius, where it's pretty much exactly where Haunted Mansion was, which hit $3.1M opening (May 11). Still nothing really happening here (May 10). Since the last update, they released full showtime sets, and it actually lost two showtimes rather than gain. From the sound of it, it might be doing better in other Canadian markets, particularly BC (May 8). Numbers are still really low, making the standard track fairly useless. I did do a larger 100km radius track, encompassing the broader southern Ontaro market (~8M population, MTC4 being about 70-80% of the market). Even against Haunted Mansion, which underindexed here, it's not doing well (May 4).)
  
• YM! (So far in the four Wisconsin theaters I’ve tracked, IF is at about 45% of where Wish was at in the two theaters I’ve tracked 30 minutes before previews. Think it could get to something similar before preview time (May 16).)
  

The Strangers: Chapter 1 Thursday Comps/Predictions: $1.49M/$1.37M

• abracadabra1998 ($1M Thursday comp. Perhaps this will follow the Nun and the Exorcist comps, but I am not fully convinced. I'll just go with the average here and call it a day with my prediction: $1 Million, +/- 0.2. Not much movement here (May 15). Not a good update at all but I am wondering about the summer break deal here as well. For Back to Black it shouldn't affect it much I would think (May 13).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($1.24M Thursday and $4.35M Friday comp. Decent day. Feeling an inch past $1.25M Thursday but much better comps for Friday, aiming now between $4M-$5M. Estimated OW: $14M-$17M (May 16). Comps leveling off. Adjusting up to $1M Thursday and wouldn't trust Friday comp ($10.05M) (May 15). Weird comps. Let's go for $.5M-$.75M Thursday comp.)
  
• el sid ($1.9M Thursday comp. Nice surprise. Up very nice 67.5% since Monday (May 15). From what I saw, it had an ok jump till today but the jump till Wednesday will be way more important. But so far, decent presales (May 14).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($1.54M Combined SizeAdjusted+GrowthModel Thursday comp. $1.82M Santikos Thursday comp. Keeping on track to match IF tonight (May 16). We could have a preview battle on our hands! (May 14).)
  
• Relevation ($1.85M Thursday comp. The Strangers: Chapter One sold surprisingly well here, even somehow knocking IF for best selling movie of the weekend. Comps are hovering in the $1.5-2.2M range and I don't have a clue how walkups play here, but I suppose the $1.85M THU average my comps spit out sounds pretty right, combined with a $15Mish OW (May 15).)
  
• Rorschach ($1.09M/$4.68M/$5.23M Thursday/Friday/Thursday+Friday comp. Decent day for Strangers. Didn't quite continue off yesterday's big bump, but still holding well against the Tarot comp (May 15). More than double from yesterday's count. Curious to see if it keeps up the momentum going forward (May 14). Tarot had more tickets sold for Thursday compared to its Friday showings when I checked the Monday before it came out; hence, why the comps are so all over the place at the moment. The Thurs + Fri comp does appear to be a reasonable middle ground (May 13).)
  
• TwoMisfits (TMobile deal for May - $5 ticket to The Strangers Chapter 1 next Tuesday (May 9).)
  

Furiosa Thursday Comp: $4.31M

• abracadabra1998 ($5.46M Thursday comp. GxK obviously really propping the average up but for now I could see that settling at around $5 Million, still good pace! (May 12). Really good stuff in this market (May 9). Reallyyyyyy good day 1 here. I want to note that: NO I do NOT think preview numbers will be that high; it's just highlighting the fact that this is likely a movie that will be running hot in my market, as cinephile blockbusters usually do. Next update I will have T-14 comps, which will be a lot lower due to the short release window (May 8).)
  
• AniNate (Encouraging to see the weekend fill out a bit. Been seeing a lot of promotion during the basketball playoffs so general awareness has to be getting there now. (May 15). Skimmed through ThuFri and Valley View (Cleveland vicinity) has sold roughly 60 Furiosa tix so far while Tinseltown (Canton) has sold 40. I'm guessing the upfront audience does lean more toward the urban/cosmopolitan sensibilities (May 9). Presales show there's definitely some hype for this. Regal gonna irritate trackers again, offering no upcharge IMAX for Furiosa (May 8).)
  
• Charlie Jatinder ($3.05M Thursday comp.)
  
• el sid ($5.8M average Thursday comp (without Exorcist 2) (May 12). Furiosa continues its strong performance in "my" theaters. The movie yesterday had already 1.310 sold tickets (for Thursday, May 23). Up 15% in ca. 24 hours which isn't bad at all after the first rush. Already comfortably in front of The Fall Guy's final sales (it had 1.071 counted on Thursday for Thursday) and almost on par with Civil War's final sales (1.357) and also the Apes finally had not more than 1.657 sold tickets in my theaters (May 11). I also can't complain about Furiosa's presales in my theaters, not at all. Already 1,138 sold tickets (in all of "my" 7 theaters) for May 23. 14 days left. Promising start. Civil War on Thursday of the release week for Thursday had 1,357 sold tickets and The Fall Guy finally had 1,071 sold tickets (May 9).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($3.51M Thursday comp.)
  
• keysersoze123 (Definitely chugging along. I am feeling good about 5m+ previews (May 15). It has way stronger sales than Garfield and that is expected. I am thinking of 5m previews for now (May 14). I think this is a solid OD presales. With a short PS window its probably looking at 5m+ previews (May 9).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($4.44M Thursday comp. Keeps climbing at a strong pace (May 11). This continues to grow at an excellent rate (May 10). Really strong day 2. The short presales is for sure a factor (May 9). Not seeing much of a breakout. Still pretty solid start to presales (May 8).)
  
• vafrow ($2.9M Thursday comp. Comps are showing as steady since the last update, but it actually dipped quite a bit this week before rebounding today. Advance ticket buying has been so off in this market recently for some reason. Holding pace with Apes is a good sign (May 16). It had a good day (May 12). Mediocre day 2 (May 10). Not the hottest start. IMAX is the format of choice though, so, ATP will be high (May 9).)
  

Hit Man

• vafrow (Getting a theatrical release up here in Canada, and early signs are that it might get a pretty decent screen count. Not super wide or anything, but a pretty decent amount for a weekend that has a lot of other releases (May 14).)

The Garfield Movie EA+Thursday Comp: $2.24M

• abracadabra1998 ($0.76M EA comp and $1.19M Thursday comp. Still not really accelerating, and the EA is falling against comps (May 12). Good EA numbers, but many of these comps were PLF-only EA, which this is not, so I think the ATP will be quite lower and that should be adjusted for (May 9).)
  
• AniNate (EA sales look decent now, but this does feel rather weak compared to the IF presales. Not 100% certain what's going on here but based on this I buy the trades' opening estimates over the forum vibes (May 15). I definitely haven't seen as much of a rush here with Garfield as with IF (May 11).)
  
• el sid (The very even sales are a good sign (May 7). For Sunday, May 19, I can already report that also in my theaters it looks very good for Garfield. They will for sure add shows soon. It has so far only 1 show/theater and the shows are almost sold out, between 1 and 4 seats are still available. So my guess still is that this movie if it's not totally bad (and first reviews here were quite positive) will become a (big) hit. Seems not much on Thursday but it's a step in the right direction (May 6).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($2.52M EA+Thursday comp.)
  
• keysersoze123 (Its definitely weaker than even Elemental. That said these movies tend to finish strong and so I am not writing it off so early. Just that the long PS window is irrelevant for them. They could rather start presales like a week before release and it would be all the same. Meh. We have to wait until next week to gauge where its going to finish. It has very low ATP as well and actual would be even lower as its going to see tons of kids tickets (May 14). Early shows are regular digital shows at 1PM this sunday. So ATP will be very low. I think 500k ish at best. Preview let us see how things go in the final week. Presales at this point are almost non existent (May 13).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($2.14M Thursday comp.)
  
• vafrow ($0.4M Thursday comp. Comps don't paint a pretty picture though. EA shows are doing okay (May 11). Still no sales for my core sample for previews. But I did the larger sweep, which shows the interest right now is the Sunday early access shows. Looking at sales patterns, it's mainly blocks of 3/4 tickets, so likely families grabbing some. It's worth noting that the May holiday in Canada is the weekend of May 17-20th, not the weekend after with Memorial Day. I can see families prioritizing getting out the holiday weekend when they have more time (May 4).)
  

The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Re-Releases (June 8-10)

• BoxOfficePro (Fathom Events has also announced that select Regal Cinemas will present the films in 4DX on June 22/23/24 for Fellowship/Towers/Return respectively (May 14).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex (Up to ~1,400 shows now with new locations picking it up and others adding a second showing. LotR1 has sold 831 seats OD, LotR2 sold 715 seats OD, and LotR3 sold 735 seats OD. For comparison, Phantom Menace didn't break 800 tickets until T-3 and we're still over a month out. JW3 comp is currently around 9m (it was at 1,670 tickets sold at this point!) (May 6).)
  

Inside Out 2 Average Thursday Comp: $8.14M

• abracadabra1998 ($3.67M Thursday comp. Holy numbers of shows and seats! Multiplexes are really expecting a lot here. Sales off the bat not amazing here sadly, but we shall see where it goes (May 15).)
  
• AniNate (It is encouraging that Canton is already giving me something to work with with 12 Thursday preview sales. Same number for Fri-Sun. I do see nine sales for first Thursday at Canton now and I think that's a pretty solid start (May 15). I do see a few 1-2 spots for Inside Out on Saturday. Think some M-F workweek adult fans might be putting down money for that (May 14).)
  
• charlie Jatinder ($11.84M Thursday comp at MTC2. $16M Thursday comp for Kung Fu Panda 4 (May 15).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex (Already at 180 shows for previews in my areas and still has a few theaters left to post. For comparison, Godzilla x Kong finished with 197, Kingdom of Apes 190, and Kung Fu Panda 205 (May 14).)
  
• keysersoze123 (At least the show counts show Plexes are expecting a big OW. I dont remember when we last had a animation movie start with so many shows. I wont count Mario as that was a fan driven movie. Definitely not great presales but this is not a fan driven movie. Let us see where things are in the final week (May 15). Too early to judge presales as ticket sales just started early this morning. Families dont book tickets on weekday mornings. Wait until evening today to judge it. From a release perspective its way bigger than all animation movies seen recently including Panda 4. Easily the biggest I have seen in a long time. Only movie which is not comparable is Mario but that was not just a family flick (May 14).)
  
• Porthos (VERY BAD COMPS: $8.83M Thursday comp. I really do not have good comps for this movie. Like, at all. Especially for D1. With that in mind, I did some digging and did manage to get the Elemental D1 numbers out of the old Tracking thread: IO2 = 5.45946x Elemental on D1 [13.10m]. Now will Inside Out 2 be as backloaded as Elemental? Well it's tough to literally sell 5.5x times the amount of tickets on the final couple of days that Elemental did, so perhaps not. But it does show how fracking backloaded purely kids animation is. Anyway, this is 30 days out and it isn't a CBM film (like AtSV) or CBM-adjacent film (like Incredibles 2). The Sonic 2 comp is perhaps a little concerning. On the other hand, nearly a weeks more of pre-sales so not exactly a great comp. 3.5% of presales are 3D and 40.1% are PLF (May 15). On the Saturday of release weekend (ie NOT EA) there is a special event screening for IO2: INSIDE OUT 2: FUNKO FAMILY EVENT! (2024) Sat June 15th. Might boost the OW slightly, depending on how wide this event is and how much more these tickets will presumably cost (May 11).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($8.20M Thursday comp. This is a super super strong day 2. Probably just Orlando overindexing, but yeah starting to lean towards something big brewing. Florida presales are somehow even crazier. Sold 2357 seats and is getting a blockbuster rollout in terms of showing allocations. Kung Fu panda comp day 2: gives me $8.50M (May 15). Well, I can't really tell if this is a breakout or not yet. Looks very good especially in the first few hours. These are probably terrible comps, but might as well try something (May 14).)
  
• TwoMisfits (I'm kinda shocked at the opening set from my Cinemarks... 2 screens (1 PLF, 1 not) and 6 showings at my PLF 14 for Thursday (and 11 showings on the same screens once it runs full day - 7 PLF b/c 1 is 3d on the reg screen, 4 not)... 3 screens (.75 3d, 2.25 not) and 9 showings at the non-PLF 12 for Thursday (and 12 showings on 2.25 screens once it runs full day)... So, 2 and 2.25 screens for the weekend presale sets... Disney must be charging a huge % for themselves b/c this is an Elemental opening set at my PLF...a little more generous for Thursday at my non-PLF, but then they too drop to an Elemental opening set after the adult Disney base Thursday rush... (May 14).)
  
• vafrow (No new sales. Whatever glitches in the system on day 1 didn't push sales to day 2. I still think the lack of base ticket options will push families to wait. Cineplex has jacked up the cost of premium formats, plus they're throwing in an increase for opening weekend of major releases. It adds up quickly for families (May 16). With the site glitching yesterday, it might account for the slow start. But, what's interesting is the format breakdown. Nothing is being made available in anything close to a regular showtime. The one non 3D showing in Dolby is a matinee showing. Everything else is carrying a hefty premium. They'll likely release regular showtimes closer to release, but right now, it's priced to get eager fans to pay the premium formats (May 15).)
  
• YM! (In fairness it's only been an hour but yeah sales are softer than I expected. However, it is a month out and will largely skew more towards kids than say TLM/Across so wasn't expecting a blitz like them. Here at Marcus theaters are going all out for IO2 with it having the lion share of PLFs with it getting both screens when there is two PLFs with tentpole like levels of screens (May 14). Was taking a look at Marcus Cinemas to see that they have preloaded Inside Out 2 showtimes which seem to start at 3:00 pm on a Thursday. It seems like Marcus is going all out on it as judging from showtimes it's taking away all of Bad Boys’ PLFs in that theaters that have two+ PLFs are giving all to IO2 (May 11).)

Hello all. I (26 enby) have had sleep issues for about half of my life (namely insomnia and sleep paralysis). I have BPD and Ive struggled with anxiety and depression since middle school.
I have a complicated relationship with doctors (classic plus size AFAB medical trauma, if you know you know). So I've never been comfortable bringing these issues up before. I also have a complicated relationship with medication (mother has substance abuse disorder with prescription pills) so I never felt comfortable trying prescription meds as a solution.
But it's gotten so much worse. The sleep paralysis has evolved into a Night Terror hybrid of sorts. Or its just night terrors straight up. While the insomnia has been getting worse every year, the night terror issue started only about six months ago.
They're random, don't seem to follow a schedule. I can't identify any specific triggers or stressors that cause the terrors to happen. It could happen once a month or three times, late night or early morning. I've considered keeping a journal to track it all, but I hadn't considered going to a doctor so I didn't see a point.
But now I'm considering medical help, after what happened last night.
I don't even remember what the terror was about. The part that alarms me was how dug in like a tick I was. When the first drop of awareness of the situation came about, I had already thrown all the pillows off the bed at some non existent thing in the room. The second drop of awareness was me trying to crawl over my husband and off his side of the bed to hide. The next drop was my screaming. Then I heard my husband trying to calm me down and holding onto me so I didn't run off.
I finally got the last drop of awareness I needed to stop trying to run away. I just collapsed into a ball on the middle of the bed and sobbed. What freaks me out is I still wasn't fully in control of myself. I didn't understand why I was crying. I couldn't even remember the terror. I didn't feel totally in control of my body.
Usually, after a night terror or sleep paralysis I have difficulty going to sleep again. But this time, because I truly believe I never fully left the sleep state, I got sucked right back in after a few minutes of sobbing.
When I did wake up, I still felt like a piece of me was still stuck in that place. I struggle with disassociation on a daily basis, and all day today I have just been this autopilot robot.
I don't want this to get worse. I wasn't aware I was moving or throwing things. I don't want to accidentally hurt my husband because of a night terror. But I am also petrified of going to the doctor.
I had been going to therapy for about four years straight, but I'm currently between therapists. I think I may reach out to one I've seen before to aleviate the medical trauma anxieties as I seek treatment.
I just feel like a shell today from this. I do grounding and yoga every day before bed so I'm feeling eager for work to get done so I can try breaking this feeling of just... Not having a grasp on reality.
TLDR; My sleep issues have evolved into night terrors where I don't realize what I'm doing, and I'm concerned I may accidentally hurt my husband. I'm scared of doctors, but am finally considering medical treatment.

As the title says I '16F' am ruining my relationship with my bf '16M' , as more and more days passes by I'm ruining his mental health. We've been together for almost 7 months and use to date during middle school but decided to take a break. I've been depressed for years and finally was diagnosed with depression insomnia anxiety a 2 months ago. Rn we are in summer breaks and he's busy with other activities and unable to spend time together as we did in the past 5 monts, so I was very much upset by this. My precious bf is the most sweetest in the entire world I cannot explain how much that man does to me. My relationship with the school environment is awful and with every student. He takes care of me but I still wish for more, this wasn't a issue when we were just in the talking stage. I know we both are young and trying to live out best but I'm terrified. I'm unable to show my emotions or share my feelings even if I did it ends up going wrong it's either I express it inappropriately or he understands it differently.
Now the problem happend when my adorable bf had seen my text and did not reply I have already told him that to just let me know if you're busy so that I wouldn't have to wait. He explained that his family was there so they would find out (our relationship is only between us) but I became upset and didn't talk but he asked he what was wrong and I stayed silent I couldn't speak I couldn't express and he thought I was ignoring him (all this happened by the text and calls not in real life as we're long distancing) I got mad and cut the call immediately , I cannot explain it but I'm petrified of people assuming I'm over reacting and he said that I was definitely overacting but this isn't the first time it has happened but from his perspective he cannot always update to me , I understand but should I always adjust?? And I went on with my hatred paras and told him we can break up if he was okay with it and he said he don't know so I blocked him off but unblocked him right away. Now he said that being with me hurts and he would rather be without me and be hurt :( .
I know I went too far I know I did wrong thing my approach was wrong everything was wrong but I just wanted to share him my emotions I'm sure he'd understand if I explain it to him clearly but I'm unable to do it. My relationship with my home is also terrible and I have no safe space , I'm not used to expressing my feelings as I've always been shut down my friends and family but the way he grew up is different so he'd nee some time to understand but how do I tell him that I'm lonely without him eventhough I have hobbies but don't want to do them so I just end up rotting in my bed, how do I tell him that I wished he'd share his daily experience with me, how his day went, how he missed me etc etc please be kind in the comments as we both are young and trying to fix our mistakes.

My boyfriend and I have been dating and living together for six years! We've been good friends since middle school! (If you're into zodiacs, I'm a march Aries and he's a January Aquarius) I feel like everything was going great until I stopped working to go to cosmetology school. Going into cosmo school I knew this was going to be a slow process to start making my own money so I had a plan on at least working overnights or part-time and then going to school full-time, luckily my boyfriend offered to give me a $500 allowance every two weeks and told me just to focus on school and he'll help me financially.For context we live with my parents and siblings, he really doesn't pay bills here unless my parents asks him to help with electricity but other than that, all he has is his phone bill and car insurance,No chores or anything as well. NGL I have a bad spending habit, l was used to buying everything myself (Hair, nails and makeup I bought that all myself) so $500 went away pretty fast nothing too bad but my account would go in the negatives, maybe like -$10 at the most but I would ask him if he could just send me at least $12 so my account will not be in the negatives(and avoid overdraft fees) , this was turned into a big deal with him. He stop talking to me for about 2 1/2 weeks(this happened about three times.) His way of ignoring me was getting home from work and he would just stay in his car until 1 am(off of work at 10:30pm and was home by 10:45pm) when he would come inside he would sit in the living room in the dark and anytime l'd walk by He would turn his phone off, so I wouldn't see him . I was the one who had to ask him what was wrong and his reason for ignoring me. His reason was because I was stressing him out cause my account went into the negatives, it really pissed me off since we live together at my parents house and just felt childish of him ignoring me.After I had a "talk" with him (really it was just me asking him what's wrong and if he's OK, kind of felt like I was babying him) he got over it the next day, but the third time he ignored me I told Him that "This is very childish of you and why do you not want to talk things out? If you do this one more time l'm done" he hasn't done it since.
Another point is our sex life is gone. Again, I live with my parents and three siblings so it's a little hard to get intimate, especially in a Mexican household, someone is always home, but when we do have alone time he would rather play Fortnite, sleep all day or work on his car. I feel like I'm also to blame since I did let myself go so that could be another reason why we're not intimate. what I also mean by intimate is him not even wanting to hang out with me on his days off. He's heavily into Godzilla, anime,cars and video games, so of course, anytime he wanted to do some thing or go to an event that he's interested in and I'm not, l would still go because I wanted to be with him and have a good time but when it comes to things that I want to do he acts like it's the worst thing ever, also feels forced. So majority of the time l'm going to the movies or going to a restaurant I'm just doing it by myself because he doesn't want to go. I've also been home alone more lately in order for me to save money. I just stopped getting my hair and nails done and I just stopped going out in general. Unfortunately I did pick up a smoking habit Since all I do is watch him play Fortnite or his other interests, I decided I'll at least make it fun and get high while watching. He says that he doesn't mind me smoking, but there are times where he acts like he's better than me because he smoked when he was younger and not now as an adult. He's also been working a lot lately, He works at a warehouse so 10 hour shifts four days straight and he has three days off, but he's been working six days out of the week now and only has Saturdays off, but on his days off, he sleeps all day and then stays up all night playing video games. I try not to get mad at him because I understand he's tired, but if he has plans with his friends he is up early in the morning and is with them all day and I do get a little jealous of it. At this point, I really feel we're both using each other. He gives me an allowance and he lives in a house rent free. I still love him, but I just feel nothing back. He says he still loves me and I quote " well I still give you money and fix your car so that should mean something right?!" I don't need a pity party. I just need other peoples opinions. This is only a very small portion of my relationship that I am posting here, but from what l have written on here (can provide more stories/info if needed) I just need to know your thoughts and what would you do in my situation.

Hello, I’m just going to tell you why I’ve been living a living hell for some years. So it all started in middle school where I never bothered about my weight I was always happy could go to the beach eat whatever I want etc… but one day some kid I knew told me « Why do you have boobs? » it was the day I stopped wearing tshirts and hating my body. From this day I started to hate my body more and more everyday i stopped wearing my backpack normally stopped wearing normal clothes (All baggy now) I started wearing hoodies/big jackets even in summer can’t go to the pool I can’t even wear tshirts at home now because I can’t look at myself on the mirror. My weight devastated my mental health I started cutting myself at a moment (i don’t anymore). I know I might sound like a lazy pig or someone who’s just weak because I don’t do sports I hate going out I ate only sugary and caloric things before. Now I eat on a diet I don’t go over 1500 calories a day, sometimes I don’t go over 1000 I try to eat salads everyday when my parents let me of course because I apparently want to be anorexic because of what happened to a school trip where I didn’t eat properly for 3 days ( I fainted). So I don’t do sport and I am on a diet now I just lost a little bit of weight which is barely noticeable. I just want some tips (please be nice) on how to loose weight effectively whitout doing any sport because I can’t go to the gym cuz I’m way too shy. So that’s the reason of why I’m desperate (please if you’re going to be rude just don’t leave a comment).

When I was in middle school about 14/15 years ago I borrowed this book series where it was 3 siblings who went to live with a family member and they discover this world fully of weird creatures. I remember the books not being very long and the cover art was like a cross between Lemony snicket and Tim Burton. Sorry it's not much I'm hoping someone will know

Who am I?

As stated in my profile's description, I am u/syko-san. Yes, the name is a bit cringe, but I made the account when I was an edgy 13 year old. Let's be real, a lot of us were pretty cringe in middle school. Anyway, I am a 19 year old university student and am currently working on getting my bachelor's degree. I have thought about getting a master's degree afterwards, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I do, in fact, suffer from mental health issues, but they are unrelated to Reddit and are mostly under control. I am being treated appropriately and, while I can't say I am quite as functional as the average person, I survive relatively okay thanks to the treatments and the help of people around me.

The Origins of Pixel Counter Bot

Let's start at the beginning. I knew about countablepixels long before the creation of the bot. It would come up in my feed and I'd also link it to posts with egregiously low resolution. One day, I noticed people actually counting the pixels in the comments and a thought occurred to me. "What if I automated it?" It seemed very doable at the time, as I've messed around with the Reddit bot API in the past for much smaller things, so I spent an hour or two haphazardly throwing the bot together, using a lot of old code I had stashed away from that past experience. I honestly expected people to get annoyed with the bot and for it to get banned within a few days of it going online for the first time. Imagine my surprise when I got contacted by one of the moderators, thanking me for my contribution to the subreddit's growth and giving me moderator status myself. This little dumb project that I made on a whim was getting a lot more love than I was expecting.
Anyway, so the bot continued to get more attention and one night, I woke up at like 1am and checked my phone to see how the account was doing. I saw a reply to one of its comments saying "Fuck you" so I had the bright idea of logging into the bot account and replying with "Shut the fuck up." to see if people would find it funny. It got a lot of attention, so my aggressive responses to things started becoming a theme of the account.

How I genuinely feel about the harassment

As with most bots on Reddit for some ungodly reason, the account got a lot of sexual comments and DMs. This made me very uncomfortable at first, and I decided to reply to them with my trademark exaggerated levels of aggression. After a while, I kind of got used to such comments and started ignoring them a bit. They don't bother me nearly as much anymore, and while I do find them pretty cringe, I'm not losing my sanity over them. Trust me, I've been through much worse.

The "war" with AnarchyChess

I've known about AnarchyChess for a long time as well. It's also a subreddit that would frequently appear in my feed. I was an avid chess player a very long time ago, so I understood most of the humor just fine. That said, please do not actually challenge me to a game of chess, I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be and will probably lose.
Anyway, a bot I knew about sent me a DM with a very descriptive marriage proposal. At the time, I was mostly done giving these comments and messages any attention because there were too many for me to reply to them all, but this one caught my attention. I decided to reply to it and keep an eye on things, then reply to some of u/MartinFromChessCom's comments with my trademark exaggerated aggression. It went okay at first, but things began escalating from there. Martin's creator messaged me on my main account making sure everything was okay, and I explained to him that it was mostly just theatrics, and I thought a "war" between subreddits could actually be pretty fun as long as nobody took it too seriously. He posted a screenshot from our conversation a little while ago, so feel free to take a look. I will also say, please do not send a any hate or harassment his way. I am on good terms with Martin and there is zero genuine beef between us. It was all just to put on a bit of a show.
Regarding my "ban" from AnarchyChess, I was never actually banned from the subreddit. I added a filter in the bot's code to make it ignore any posts from that subreddit because my presence there seems to have only caused trouble, and I do not want to cause any headaches for the moderators there. Additionally, please do not send any harassment towards the moderators of AnarchyChess. They have not wronged me in any way and have actually made statements trying to protect me.

Hello everyone, I'm a 25( F) and I've been in a relationship with a guy, 24( M) for almost a year. Since I moved abroad for a short period things have been going up and down, normal expecially considering that long distance relationships can be a challenge. After being spending time together here in the UK for a month he left and went back to italy. Everything was going perfectly fine. At one point he started being more and more distant. I asked him what was going on and he would tell me that he wasn't feeling himself and that everything felt weird. I asked him if it was about our relationship, he said no. He started telling me how stressed he is about getting his masters degree and how his boss has been areal pain the you know what. As a supportive girlfriend I completely understood the situation and left him his space. After a couple of days I noticed the situation became even more weird. I would tell him I love you, send him cute pics, but yet I felt as if I was annoying him even more. Again, I try to understand whats going on and again he tells me it's because of work and school etc. Therefore, I started thinking " maybe it's just me. I'm just an exaggerating overthinker ". My friends agree with me because they all know him and know how hard he is with himself. Fast forward to 3 days ago. He calls me telling me that we were in danger because one of his aunts back in Lebanon , he is originally from Lebanon, but was born and raised in Germany, was trying to commission a woman to do a spell on us. Fortunately this woman knew his other aunt and told her about it. At that point she called his mom and told him about what was going on and that they would take care of it with the help of one of the uncles. She told him to cancel every single picture of us together from his social media and also told me to put private the tik toy's I had previously posted of us. I asked him about this spell and he told me that it would affect only him. Jm sorry to say this, but I'm finding myself in a difficult position. I know in the middle eastern people do practice black magic, but at the same time it's sad to say, but I don't trust him. Honestly I have know idea what to do. Sorry for the long paragraph...

Hi friends!
I’m finishing grad school and am headed into my first school this August. Yay!
But the downside… I’ve known since middle school that there is a relatively popular adult film actor who shares my first and last name. It’s very clear that this isn’t me (mostly because they are dead now), but I am worried about the implications on my practice. Especially a middle schooler, I could see them googling my name and sharing those cursory findings with parents and peers, who, without context, could assume this is me.
I feel like I only have three options at my disposal, but was wondering what ideas/thoughts/opinions those out in the schools might have.
Option 1: Change my last name entirely Option 2: Use my middle name as a last (unsure if this is allowed in public schools) Option 3: Tell admin off the bat and just face questions as they come up.
TIA for your thoughts on this! I don’t want to get off on the wrong foot, nor overreact if it seems minimal to outsiders. :)

Hey guys,
I just want to say in advance that I’m not trying to make this post a humblebrag, but this has been weighing on me recently. In middle school and early high school, I felt absolutely empty and isolated myself. Since then, I’ve somehow managed to turn myself into a functional INTP at age 24.

• Somehow, I became an athlete (varsity sports, calisthenics, and martial arts became part of my daily life), achieving the strength, skills, and physique I always wanted as a kid.
• I have a stimulating job that I enjoy (as much as I can enjoy a corporate job) and make well over six figures out of college.
• I met my best friend early and got happily married.
• I have a tight group of loyal childhood friends.
• I travel the world often.
• I went from being born into religion > atheist > agnostic > to coming back to religion to ground myself.
• I read every day (philosophy, literature, non fiction) and it keeps me sane
• I went from being the bad kid in the family to having great relationships with them and being looked up to from my siblings

My family and friends think I’ve made it, and believe I’m not the same nihilist druggie from my younger years but I can’t help but realize that, after everything, I still feel empty. It’s weird because I’m truly grateful for how life turned out, but at the same time, it feels like nothing has changed from when I was a kid in middle school with a void.
I’ve tried therapy and have done DMT, mushrooms, and LSD. Yes, they have helped me immensely, but they didn’t snuff this feeling.
I’m wondering if anyone feels the same and how they’ve combated this feeling of the void.
On paper, I might seem like a healthy INTP, but I still find myself unable to escape this feeling or self-destructive cycles. I’m back on nicotine addiction, and every week I spiral out, having a day where I barely sleep and just isolate myself, doing nothing. Novelty loses its touch all too quickly in new endeavors. It’s as if I’m always seeking novelty but it always never lasts. Honestly, I don’t even want advice—I just want to know I’m not alone here.

I've been reading about liar's paradox and its responses. I like Graham Priest, fantastic philospher and proponent of dialethism.
Graham argues that liar's paradox is solved by claiming that statement: "This statement is false" is both true and false. In another words, there are true contradictions. He argues that law of non-contradiction doesn't always hold bringing about new logical system called paraconsistent logic. This logical system had more success and popularity in ancient India. It was known as tetralema and used by Nagarjuna (Buddhist philospher and founder of Madhyamaka philosophical school).
Tetralema means that statement can be either true, false, both or neither (four options). In the classical logic (Aristotle), latter two options were not considered to be true (law of non-contradiction and excluded middle).
To me, it seems that liar's paradox can also be solved by saying that statement is neither true or false. Not all statements can be prescribed truth value. They simply don't have this value.
This brings me to the point where both dialethism and the other option are solutions to the paradox.
What are your views?

Sorry for the long post but I need to vent and no one in my life cares enough to listen. I M(23) on paper should be having a great life. I grew up middle class, never missed a meal, was a competitive swimmer (those who swam know it’s an expensive sport), went on vacations and had all my needs taken care of. I graduated college and have very manageable student loans; I work a decent paying job, with great benefits, where I can save a lot for my future because I live at home, I’ve had trouble with my parents in the past, but we have worked through our issues, so it hasn’t been awful. From the outside I have the stereotypical middle-class upbringing, I am very thankful that my parents have provided me with everything and on paper I should be thriving, I work out daily, eat healthy and take my dog on a walk, but I am fucking miserable.
I’ve had depression since I was about 16 and it’s been on/off, in high school it was bad but high school just sucks anyway. When I went to college, I thought things would be different, but I was wrong. I had a good time in college and made good memories, but I was a shell of my former self by the end. I would do anything to help others not feel how I was feeling, which lead to everyone saying they “would do anything for me” or that they “loved” me, it was all a bunch of bullshit, no one cared about be, no one was worried when I would go quiet or not show up to gatherings. My coaches didn’t care either, they belittled me daily, told me I wasn’t good enough or that I need to be more like the better people on the team, they gave up on me when I needed help. I spent months in therapy talking through my problems because of them, a coach who breaks you down to nothing can really mess you up. I quit mid-season of my junior year because I couldn’t take it anymore, I was horribly depressed, I resented everything and everyone. All through high school I was told that I wasn’t good enough, all through college I was told I wasn’t good enough and it brought me to tears daily, who the fuck tells a young kid that they aren’t good enough to succeed????
I thought graduating college would make my life a bit better but boy was I wrong. I got a starter job out of school for a decent company but they never gave me work and the pay was shit, I got told I was doing most things wrong but “they just loved having me”. This job really starting hitting me hard because I was stuck in an office with no windows and couldn’t really go outside and the work was depressing. My depression has been prevalent since my senior year since I lived in a shitty situation with roommates. I was breaking down and couldn’t stop, therapy wasn’t helping, my parents had no idea what was going on and my friends just ignore me when I’m low. For some background my romantical life doesn’t exist, whatever it is women want I just don’t have, I’ve been ghosted countless time and have been told that I’m not a catch. My friends however love telling me about all the women they have been on dates with or had sex with, then they always make fun of my inability to talk to women. I am saying this because I was doing ok for a while and trying to work on myself and manage the job trying to make it better, but I made a stupid choice (yes I know it was my fault and I have no one to blame but myself) and got sexually extorted. Just my luck that the one person who feigned interest in me was just extorting me for money. I lost a good amount over it and was ready to off myself because I couldn’t stop thinking why the fuck did this happen to me, of all people why me? What deity did I piss off so much that they decided to fuck with me like that. They eventually released my pictures but thankfully no one has said anything to me and that was months ago.
Since that incident I have been living in a fugue state where I am so disconnected from reality that I have no idea what is wrong with me. The last time I was truly happy was when I got my dog and he is the only thing that makes me smile anymore, I have no joy or passions, nothing excites me. I’m irritable all the time and just not a joy to be around. I’m constantly told how much money my friends make and how much sex they have and that they have better jobs and how my degree is useless (marketing). I don’t fit in anywhere and my new job is ok, but I have zero work and don’t fit in. I feel useless and feel like I am constantly making the wrong decisions, because I am being told how successful my friends will be compared to myself. Even my therapist ghosted me, and I haven’t been to another one because I don’t have the energy to set up the appointments, I feel like the end of the road is coming quick and am losing hope for anything getting better. I mean who wants a below average looking guy with no hobbies or passions working a middle of the road job? I try doing yoga and meditation daily, but things aren’t getting better, everything that I have dealt with is compounding into one big issue and I just don’t have the strength to fight anymore.
Sorry for the long post but venting helped a bit. TLDR I am miserable and things aren’t looking better.

Hi all. I'm a STEM teacher at a middle school and have been looking to revitalize my content. When I was in high school tech ed class, I was given the option to try my hand at MSFS (Windows 95 version) and I really enjoyed it.
My school already has decent computers (leftovers from an esports initiative), and we can get the licenses, but I really want to make this realistic for the kids, but we are not a wealthy district. Can anyone direct me to equipment that will help with the realism but won't break the bank since we will need at least three sets of them? I'm leaning towards sticks over yokes as they tend to be cheaper and it's easier to practice on helicopters with them as well as a throttle and (maybe?) pedals? I really don't know what's best. These will be used by 13-14 year old kids.

So my current GPA(Fordham) is a 2.9 and that will be the GPA I will have for my application. After my final semester I will probably have a 3.0 though. What are the chances of me getting accepted into SPS Graduate School? Note I am a veteran and my low GPA is also due in part to me being deployed to the middle during two semesters in which I continued studying online. Additionally, I will have some decent LOR’s.

I am long term subbing in middle school art (5-8th grade) art through the rest of the year because the current teacher had a baby. She has also decided to be a stay at home mom and is not coming back to teach. As part of my assignment I was tasked with end of the year cleanup of the room. I have been slowly cleaning and organizing everything in the room for next years new art teacher. The room is incredibly messy with random supplies in just about every drawer and cupboard. How much old art should I purge in an effort to clean up. I am taking this rather seriously because I personally would hate to take over in job where everything is a total mess. I have already taken several good examples of each art project and organized the few lesson plans I have found in different drawers (sometimes different parts of the lesson plan were in different drawers around the classroom!!) I have also handed back as much art as l could but there are entire drawers filled with art that was never handed back, most still in the class folder! What would you want if you were starting in a new classroom/school? Should I take off the posters from the wall and put them away so the new art teacher can make the room how they want? What do I do? Any advice is very appreciated.
As a side note I would like to say that I just graduated in January with a Physical Education/ Adapted PE/Health/Coaching/Outdoor Adventure degree. While I do quite a bit of art in my free time I don’t know what sort of environment is normal for a new teacher to step into.

the title, the first one is about a failing musician getting called by his parent to help in their izakaya he met with a middle schooleelementary schooler I can't remember they just bond together like normal person unlike that certain usagi manga, the mc have 2 love interest his ex girlfriend who still have feeling and highschooler helper at the izakaya.
the second is about a office worker girl that have some problem in her work place, she got traumatized and become a neet shut in, the manga have some comedy and serious tone overall oh and the girl have white hair
the third one tells a young woman whos running her own bar(idk sometimes its a bar and a cart) named "satelite" she pretty sleepy and good at making drinks but the story is about a girl that make drinks for some costumer and bond with her fellow bartender friend. you can think of it as foodwars but about drink instead and there is no sexual foodgasm.
edit: sorry to add more but I ask this one another time I will defintely forget, its about a school getting a new girl janitor, the student would occasionally get help from but since the janitor only a human she would help her best. this is explored in one of the chapter where one of the student getting groped and the janitor help her, the student in awe because she saw that the janitor hand also shaking with fear but the janitor still go in and save her

After an 8 year relationship I’m back on the dating market and slowly realizing I REALLY suck at this.
I’ve taken decent enough care of myself so I think im lacking more in my chatting/flirting abilities than anything else. I’m admittedly pretty clueless about how to show a girl I like them at this point, I feel I might as well be back in middle school lol.
How are people so smooth on dates? I feel like I’m just constantly floundering with my conversations?

Well, forced move number 13 here I come. On the heels of my gramparents dying, in the middle of trying to find love as a trans woman, while debating on if I should go personally rescue this kid I know from a dangerous situation, during I time where I can't decide if I want to either run away and never stop or sleep for the next quarter of my life.
I'm so scared to ask for advice. I'm afraid that I can't change, that I'll always be this lazy fuck with big dreams and no ambition. I'm terrified of my lack of care towards my own death. I'm too bitch ass to end it myself but i find every day permeated with the desire to no longer exist in any capacity. All I want is for endless sleep, because I am just so endlessly tired.
I've been dragged around my whole life, always moving from one place to the next, always being neglected by my parents, ostracized at every school, always the weird new kid, and never there for long. Deeply jealous of the obviously better treatment my younger brothers got. I only had myself. No wonder I went crazy huh?
So many voices bouncing around, so many images dancing in my eyes, such ghostly fingers always groping my skin. The only solace, the voices in my head that hated this shit as much as me.
And yet I still live for the chance at love again. I've tasted it. From my ex, my gramparents, my 10th grade french teacher. 4 whole times, so SURLY I can find it. Well... I thought that when I thought I was cis, anyway.
I've been thinking a lot about love and death lately. Perhaps too much. But it floods my mind these days from all around. Two deaths, another move, a child in need, a stagnant career, all containing both deaths and loves. Deaths of loved ones, moving from a dead town to somwhere with more loves like mine, the love for a son bringing death of an old life, a desire to lovingly craft laying dead in the mud of executive disfunction. Or, maybe I'm just letting my poets brain go wild with that one. I don't know.
I don't know what to do. And I'm afraid I'll never be better. I want to run away from everything I know and never look back, but I'm even too scared to do that. I'm too scared to do anything myself. How could I not be when I was raised to understand my life was a mistake from the get go?

Hey guys,
I am in middle school and need to do a presentation about cyber-intelligence, my topic is about ransomware attacks on reaseach facilities, I searched for hours but coulnd`t fight case studies, I would gladly appreciate if you could give me some or show me, where I can find detailed case studies.

(sorry for any mistakes, english isn’t my first language) So I (19F) met a friend(18F) through work. Since then she joined our workfriendgroup of 10. I wouldn’t say we are particularly close since the two of us don’t really hangout outside of work, but she and i have always been able to talk about anything and helped eachother through past relationships and breakups. i recently started texting with a guy from my school. we really hit it off and have been in a talking stage for the last 3 months since we are both busy with exams rn so we agreed to actually start seeing eachother once they’re over. last week, she and i started talking about boys again and i brought him up. i was talking very enthusiastic about him until i said his name. she told me he used to bully her in ‘middle school’ and that she despises him because of it. she told me i shouldn’t date him. this really set me off because i really like him. he hasn’t shown a bad side of him to me and has been really nice and supportive to me. it has been 5 years ago and i feel like people go through big changes in those teenage years. however i feel like she will dislike me too if i do actually start dating him, since she expressed that she has so much hate towards him. i don’t know what to do, please help me
