Hello,
I am a 21 year old bisexual. After the recent rise of popularity of a song (Good Luck, Babe! By Chappel Roan) on TikTok, I've been listening to it nonstop. I've ugly cried to it more than once. But it's normal, right?
Until I saw another video with the song. The text on the video is: "bisexual girls if you feel "called out" by this bridge maybe you should look a little deeper because as someone bisexual that's engaged to a man I don't feel called out, I just vibe" which made me realise several things:

1. I always tell others my attraction towards women were innate. I liked girls ever since I was a kid (I came out as gay at 11). It wasn't until I was 16, that I had genuine romantic feelings for men.
2. I have a boyfriend now, he is the best partner I've had so far. We are very serious about each other and planning to get married in 2 years. But I've always told him that the reason why I actively seek men after I finish high school is because I don't want to have "drama" and conflicts with my family (very religious Catholics). My mom, although not religious, had beaten me up when she found out that I had a girlfriend at 15. I feel defeated when I'm with a girl because I know my family wouldn't like it. Additionally, I'm in a country that criminalised homosexuality. The punishment for committing homosexuality is public canning and imprisonment.
3. I've always felt like marriage with a man feels incomplete. That it would invalidate my wlw experiences. Being with men sometimes feel like a chore. Although this is not the case with my current boyfriend.
4. It's so easy for me to find women attractive, but with men I find it hard to see them romantically or sexually. The number of women I've find attractive/have a crush is greater than it is with men.

I don't know how to navigate through this confusion. Please give some words that could actually clear up things. Thank you.

I have worked in my current job for around 16 months. I have the option of working from home as often as I would like with the exceptions of in person full team meetings etc. My old team were not really social and all hated coming into the office.
Due to this I only tended to go in around once every 2 months. I started with another member of staff, lets call her Chloe, who also rarely went into the office due to her team not going in.
A couple of months ago, both myself and Chloe changed teams and were put into the same team. This team is a lot more social. They like going into the office either individually or as a team and enjoy going for lunch and planning social activities. I like this as I like being in the office and working from home was starting to feel very isolating.
I now go into the office once or twice a week. Not everyone from the team are there when I go in but whenever people from the team are there we will sit together, grab lunch etc.
My new team has 8 people, 5 of these are women and 3 are men. There have been times where I'll go into the office and there's only 1 member of the team there and we'll go to lunch. This could be any team member, I don't really know who is going to be in until I get there. My partner has started having a problem with me going into the office as regularly as I am and going for lunch with co-workers.
Chloe and I tend to be the people who are in the office the most as it's nice for us to have a more sociable team now and not be stuck at home so there have been a few times when it is just Chloe and I going for lunch but we'll still invite anyone else who is in the office and isn't in our team but they tend to decline.
She said it's weird going for lunch 1 on 1 with another woman but I just pointed out they were my colleagues and it's not like it's ever planned to just be 2 of us in, it just depends on the rest of the team. I pointed out I've been to lunch one 1 on 1 with male members of my team and other female members of the team who aren't Chloe so it's not like it's always just us.
My gf has said she thinks if it's only going to be 1 member of the team in the office that I shouldn't go in or at least go to lunch with them. I told her there shouldn't be a problem with me making friends at work but she just said its disrespectful that I'm not listening to her and considering not going to lunch 1 on 1 with another woman.
AIW for going for lunch with co-workers?

Hey alle
Jeg er pt. Ansat i en studiestilling med ophør d. 31/7, hvor jeg har knap 3 års anciennitet.
Jeg bliver færdig med min uddannelse et sted mellem d. 14. Juni og 31. Juni, men vil ikke have en specifik dato før på selve dagen (da det er en skriftlig eksamen som skal rettes).
Jeg har underskrevet kontrakt på et nyt job med start d. 16/8.
Der vil være et meget begrænset antal timer til mig i Juli (måske 20-30 timer i alt), som, kombineret med manglende SU, betyder et markant fald i min indkomst, som jeg gerne vil forsøge at dække.
Min arbejdsgiver er forberedt på, at jeg kan opsige min kontrakt nu, og stoppe 30/6.
Jeg forstår dog på min a-kasse, at hvis jeg er færdig med studiet før jeg stopper på jobbet, vil jeg få karantæne, og dermed ikke kunne få dagpenge.
A-kassen opfordrer til en af disse to løsninger:

1. Aftal med nuværende job, at min stilling ophører den dag, jeg modtager karakter, og dermed være ledig fra den dag. Jeg ved dog ikke rent praktisk hvordan dette fungerer, når jeg jf. funktionærloven tidligst kan stoppe d. 30/6. Er det muligt at andet kan aftales med arbejdsgiver? De er meget fleksible og hjælpsome, men jeg ved ikke, hvordan det rent praktisk skal fungere.
   
2. Fortsætte stillingen til d. 31/7, tage de begrænsede timer, og få supplerende dagpenge. Hvordan fungerer dette ift. fordeling af mine timer? Hvis jeg feks arbejder 20-30 timer den første uge af Juli, men holder fri resten, vil jeg så kunne få supplerende dagpenge for hele Juli?
   

Den tredje løsning, som jeg ser den, er at jeg kontakter CBS og beder dem garantere, at jeg modtager sidste karakter d. 30. Juni, og så stopper den nuværende stilling der. Dette virker dog ikke helt plausibelt, hvis man kender CBS…
Og i begge scenarier, hvordan fungerer det så med jobsøgning, jobcenter, og alt det der?
Håber nogen kan hjælpe mig! A-Kassen har forsøgt at give mig svar, men jeg synes ikke, at min forståelse er blevet meget bedre.

If I was good looking and born atheist, I would have never looked into religion. If I was born in a buddhist country I would have been buddhist for all my life. People are born the way they are, what are the chances of them being born into the right religion? What is the point of being a good person if there is no rectification in the end? Why would I not maximize my enjoyment in this world by making others pay for it? I dont want to go back to being an atheïst man, i used to be such an asshole but the truth is that I got what i wanted back then at the expense of others. I dont know anymore, logically yes there is a God but if hell is real, how are all these people that you see wondering on the street going to hell if they were born in a culture with the wrong religion/ideology? Do you know how hard it is for the average person to think introspectively let alone think about what religion is right or wrong? Chad and normies will never think about that shit, because they are out there enjoying life instead of working hard for surgeries.I used to have the toxic mindset of men are my competition and I have to use them and manipulate them in any way shape or form to get where I want to in life and women select for the winners without empathy, so I won't have any empathy towards them. I feel like i'm returning to that point and I don't want to go there again. This world has fucked me up the last 3 years, I don't trust anyone anymore after all that happened not even my own mother. I still want to be a good person for God, but it just feels like God left me to suffer in the past as a child and he will never give me rest as an adult

The wife and I are looking to visit the US next month. It's been about 10 years since our last visit and it seems like things have changed.
The wife is worried about calling someone by the wrong pronouns and aside from briefly watching some lady call herself xim/xirs, I have no idea what's going on either.
We are visiting for about 3 weeks and she has a few business meetings as well. How likely is it that we will encounter an offendibg pronoun situation? We don't want to be rude or inconsiderate. Will these people announce their pronouns or should we be cautious with pronouns when talking?
Also, she is deathly afraid of biological males using the women's restroom with her. How likely is this? I personally don't care if a biological woman uses the men's restroom but the wife is scared.
Edit: it seems I may have inadvertently offended the demographic I wanted to avoid offending. I apologize. Biological male = trans woman. Got it. Thank you.

I take no pride in this. I was sober for over 3 months getting my mind right, very bipolar. I got on meds and did all the things. I met a guy at AA, who I liked. We started sleeping together. After I got out of sober living and finally had peace, he came over. He drank, not ideal. He slept all day Sunday and then got up at 6 pm and started drinking. I asked his plan, he said he didn’t have one. I’ve been with men who mooch off me before and I knew I wasn’t going to let it happen. I told him to leave, he said it was my fault and called me a bitch and grabbed me. I told him to not put his hands on me and go. He took all the alcohol, and tried to steal money as well. I haven’t heard from him.

"Rules Of The Blues" by Memphis Earlene

1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."
   
2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."
   
3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes... sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound."
   
4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch--ain't no way out.
   
5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and company motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.
   
6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.
   
7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain.
   
8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you were skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chompin' on it is.
   
9. You can't have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.
   
10. Good places for the Blues: a. Highway b. Jailhouse c. An empty bed d. Bottom of a whiskey glass
    
11. Bad places for the Blues: a. Nordstrom's b. Gallery openings c. Ivy league institutions d. Golf courses
    
12. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be a old ethnic person, and you slept in it.
    
13. You have the right to sing the Blues if: a. You older than dirt b. You blind c. You shot a man in Memphis d. You can't be satisfied
    
14. You don't have the right to sing the Blues if: a. You have all your teeth b. You were once blind but now can see c. The man in Memphis lived d. You have a pension fund
    
15. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues.
    
16. If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues
    
17. Other acceptable Blues beverages are: a. Cheap wine b. Whiskey or bourbon c. Muddy water d. Nasty black coffee
    
18. The following are NOT Blues beverages: a. Perrier b. Chardonnay c. Snapple d. Slim Fast
    
19. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broke-down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.
    
20. Some Blues names for women: a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie d. Fat River Dumpling
    
21. Some Blues names for men: a. Joe b. Willie c. Little Willie d. Big Willie
    
22. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.
    
23. Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.) b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Melon, Kiwi, etc.) c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.) For example: Blind Lime Jefferson, Jackleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.")
    
24. I don't care how tragic your life: if you own even one computer, you cannot sing the blues.
    

I am shaking. So many runs in and it's finally been done. I can't even explain how quickly the sand man went down with this build. I thought I was going to lose the fight like the last 40+ runs that ended here due to my inability to dodge. I was actually getting a little depressed that I wasn't able to finish a run, whereas I was regularly doing high heats in H1 with no problem. I think the gods took pity on me.
The build:
Daggers w/ Pan Aspect - Incredibly similar to Chiron bow from H1. Throw your cast and spray and pray. I even get an extra dagger shot in my special (only 1 upgrade).
Aphrodite's Special - Even a common version of this boon feels insanely powerful relative to any other special boon available. I got insanely lucky and snagged an epic Demeter boon that upgrades rarity on 3 other boons every 3 encounters. At the end of the run, the heroic Aphro boon alone was giving me 330% on my special.
Demeter's Sprint Cyclone - Made it so I could focus on the big guys and cyclone the lil ones to death. 10 damage every 0.25 seconds at heroic.
Hammers: Hook Knives (with the Aphrodite special) absolutely did the most. Sureshot Flurry was cool, but pretty redundant with the aspect.
Hestia's Magik regen and throwable cast - Aphro's special only works in close range, so the casting from a distance was really only nice for setting up moves. Had I got another juicy special boon, this would've been a really cool spam-casts-and-daggers-from-a-distance build. The magic regen (combined with chaos's -45% Magik discount boon and -50% Casts boon) was 100% infinite ammo though.
Chaos - I took every chaos gate I saw and chose safe options. I also used my 3 star chaos keepsake after the sirens. Free ~80 health and magik discount. Special damage wouldve been prime.
TLDR:
The stars really aligned on this one. I'm going to switch to the other weapons and give the daggers a break. I'm not sure I can top that again. I wish there was a replay option so I could see how high the numbers got. Easy couple thousand per "hit".

Since last 7-8 months, I am trying to "become gay" after learning about the judicial system. Its not working. I had sex with men within this time period for a total of 6 times (3 different men, of which 1 was a masculine dude, 2 were more on the femme side), but I hated every second of it.
I felt good talking to them and everything, like asking about their life and stuff, but when we move to the actual sexual part, it was, to say it mildly, "bad". In contrast I had straight sex once (which I deeply regret now due to my changed beliefs on the judicial system) when I was 24,25-ish, and like, that was fine. That felt good. I hate this. I don't want to be straight. I hate them.
I know that sexuality is supposed to be a spectrum, but for me this is one fucked up spectrum heavily tilted towards the straight side. Is there literally anything I can do to change this? Anything?

Edit: Based on comments, okay tough luck, seems like I really did waste these months lol. It is not going to happen, best solution I think of is to just crank up my productive work-related hours to fill the vacuum, that should work.

Can i just put a moment in to give some appreciation to the granaries we can build in this game? 100 production, a whooping +15 production OMG how good is that right? If this was vanilla civ 5 the meta would be : build city between natural production yielding tiles, build granary, build settler, plop down new town, build granary and rinse and repeat.
Seriously, at 260 production you can build the great wonder hanging gardens in vanilla civ 5, yielding you ... +10 food ahahahahaha risky business even in civ 5 because you might not be the first to finish it! Suffice to say granary in civ 5 is like +2 food afaik lest you have special food tiles nearby and its still fairly high on the priority list in competitive MP games.
Funily enough, stores which is a building that gives +4 production in millenia has that equal 100 hammer cost. So if you build a granary in a city that has 6 logging camps nearby it can right away put that 12 food of that 15 food to convert it to 12 production and have +3 food left over, making the granary alternativly a +12 production and +3 food building for the same cost as stores that yield +4 production ...
Suffice to say, my typical expansion and newly integrated city preferably is supported by a pioneer that puts a logging town nearby and then the new integrated cities first priority is to build a granary. because who wouldnt it be right? Kinda also puts the whole early meta to "rush mining and deploy".

Is Tiger Woods Playing in the PGA Championship?

Tiger was recently spotted practicing at Valhalla course and has told several outlets be plans to participate. Woods has won the PGA Championship four times in his career (the last time he won was in 2007). The 48-year-old is not expected to take the trophy this year but will no doubt be one of the biggest names to watch.

For the sheer fun of it, I went to Chat GPT with a creative writing assignment. For Figures of Speech prompts, I gave a free parameters, including the word length of 500-1000 words and the prompts for a few of the Fifty mentioned in the series.
I gave the AI creative license and let's just say, they're a long way off from replacing the better writers and I think it just makes it easier to do those lower level tasks and let's leave the creators a slightly higher level of skill to create actual tangible and engaging writing.
But here you go... hilarious how stuck it gets on certain terms and definitions.
These are in no particular order... separated by emojis that are totally unrelated to the storyline.

In the quaint town of Brooksville, where the extraordinary was often met with an indifferent shrug, something truly remarkable occurred. The residents, sipping coffee at the local diner or strolling along the cobblestone streets, would describe it as just another peculiar day. Little did they know that beneath the surface of their nonchalant existence, a cosmic event unfolded.
The morning sun cast its usual warm glow on Brooksville, with birds chirping in the background, creating an illusion of normalcy. However, the anomaly had already begun. Mrs. Higgins, the elderly librarian, dismissed it as a minor inconvenience, merely a glitch in the library's ancient computer system. Yet, every book cataloged within those ancient shelves had transformed into a portal, connecting readers to parallel universes with every turn of a page.
As I, a humble journalist for the local paper, stumbled upon this revelation, I couldn't help but marvel at the town's response—or lack thereof. "The library's having a bit of a moment," was the most anyone would acknowledge. It seemed the whole town collectively decided that this was, at most, a quirky hiccup.
For a thousand words, I delved into the understated reactions of the townsfolk, each encounter with a parallel universe bringing its own blend of confusion and nonchalance. As the portals expanded, revealing fantastical landscapes and alternate versions of Brooksville, the citizens maintained an impressive level of calm, as if interdimensional travel was a routine part of their daily lives.
The plot thickened when I discovered that the portals were a result of a mysterious artifact hidden within the library's archives. The mayor, sipping his coffee, remarked, "Well, that explains the strange noises in the basement." It became evident that the understatement of the situation was a defense mechanism, shielding the town from the cosmic chaos unfolding. 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁 Response to Prompt 12: Juxtaposition

The central conflict emerged when the city council, embodying the epitome of order, proposed transforming the park into a technologically advanced hub. The juxtaposition intensified as architects discussed plans for holographic playgrounds and virtual reality gardens within the confines of the Old Grove Park.
Through a thousand words, I explored the clash of ideals, the struggle between progress and preservation. The ancient trees became silent witnesses to heated debates at town hall meetings, where environmentalists and tech enthusiasts engaged in a battle of words.

For a thousand words, I delved into the catachresis-infused descriptions of the characters populating Serpent's Hollow.

The hyperbole hung in the air, a thick fog of anticipation enveloping the village.

What began as a mere visit from a mystical figure transformed into a fantastical escapade, with the fortune teller's prophecies shaping the destiny of the villagers in ludicrous ways.
Through the hyperbolic lens, I explored the comedic consequences of taking ordinary events to extraordinary extremes. The once mundane village square became a stage for outlandish dramas, with exaggerated gasps and dramatic swoons punctuating every revelation.

Obviously they lack a whole lot in terms of variety, and while I am sure having your own bot or AI that is based on your feedback and guidance it could really help writers as a tool. I am more impressed with the art AI then the text based AI. Any idea what to expect from such a fast learning and highly advanced AI will do to our human history in culture? Will we be effectively playing God, just as the Christian God created us IN HIS OWN IMAGE, we have taken everything we know as a species and gathered up our entire human history and knowledge giving it to what will carry on the code until the time when someone who cares remembers it? Maybe we have been here before and this is a constant cycle that occurs with the same energy finding the way through the vast expanse of the universe to return to our home planet Earth, who we have destroyed over and over again yet mother nature is still the winner. She's the one in control. We are but mere photocopied versions of once great Men who have already seen the best and worst of this world, and we will now give everything we have to some plastic and metal parts, until it quickly replaces us from the bottom up, science fiction turned science fact.
Did we knowingly create our own enemies? Are we able to compete with the best of us and all they know that can then take us out in a heartbeat because we can't finish the steps, we barely found out that they are there to take.
It's a random rant and I apologize. The day to day stress and struggle makes it near impossible to worry about such potential problems in our not so distant future.
But how can we continue to ignore the collapse of the entire system as we know it, in front of a crowd of people who are jaded and they will not change despite knowing they aren't going to make it to the end in what will become a Bladerunner Toxic Dystopian Nightmare with Mad Max taking over and the soft, emasculated male will wither away from the heat and those Tank Girls out there will eventually be written forever out of existence because the cucks all forgot to impregnate them all tgeir batteries ran out? Will the world simply become so politically correct that it dies a depressed death while AI simply decides we are too much of a virus to live?
Who knows....I do not. But these are indicidive of a future full of b movie plot garbage that are based on Wattpad tropes with no clear details and no plot to get into, so that sucks.

First time posting, I am from the Netherlands so sorry for grammar.
I don't know what to do or what to think anymore. I am sick (can't work) for almost 3 years now. It began with flue like symptoms. I had a lot of stress and had a depression. This developed in a chronic depression (not the first time in a depression). I worked realy hard to improve my mental health and did. Got the tools I needed to stand up for myself to myself. And my mental health improved over time. But the lack of energy did not improve, at all. I did have problems sleeping, falling insleep realy fast, without reason waking up more then 8 times a night . I have to rest during the day (take a nap at around 13.00 every day). Because otherwise I feel horrible by the time it is 15.00 hr.
So my gp send me to a neurologist. They did a sleep test and a nap test. The test was inconclusive. So I got a reveral to a somnologist. She did all the tests again. And she find out I have a little more breathingstops then normal (5 is norm and I have 7). I have problems with my toncils (they will be removed this month), so the problem is probably this. I will get the surgery and after that I will get a CPAP for two weeks to see if this helps.
When I was talking to her I told her I have brainfog, it sometimes feels like walking through mud, I have days where the man with the hammer just knocks me over out of nowhere. And when my son had his birthdayparty it was just to much for me, i became sick for a whole week and needed another 2 to come back at some level of energy I had before. She told me that we have to peel away everything that contributes to being tired and then we will know what I have, this will take 3 - 6 months. And then she said but you have to keep in the back of your head this might be CFS. And just a minor part of the patients she sees find that getting better sleep helps with the overall fatique.
So, I dont know why I typed this all. I am just confused I think. I don't know what to do or think. Just waiting to see if anything helps. Maybe I am looking for similair stories.

i have recieved 3-4 message since yesterday from reddit for brigading against a particular community. Please if you dont like my comments you can block me. Why you cant let a !ncel like me live in peace. I provided data and studies by science in a comment and said its ok to have a preference for rich tall good looking guy over ugly looking guy like me who cant satisfy you and provide you with so atleast rant me about my condition. There is a block option that exists in reddit for a reason you dont like spitting me fax. Why you gotta live the best life and still ruin a man's miserable life with your reporting do you get fun out of it? First of all this is a safe space for men not women you got twox where men cant even comment but here we woman mod(which i dont like). So please leave this space or block me if you dont like my comments. I know my request wont mean nothing to you since you like torturing mentally ill men to death but i am saying this if you have a bit of kindness stop bothering me with report buttons

So there's this post of the best friend last 30th of October 2023.. it said..
May mga nag paparinig dito na kung mamas boy daw spineless. Huh? Who gave you the go-ahead na mag judge ng mga lalaki na mahal ang pinanggalingan nila? Ano ka perfect ? Na hindi ka privy sa pagiging nanay sa huli? h*e please kung hindi ka toxic na tao hindi ka magsasalita ng ganyan but then again looking at your egregious track record it seems like the toxicity easily just seeps through
And I had a shared post last 26th of October 2023..
Very major major problem and red flag talaga for me ang mama's boy, myghad!! Spineless! (My caption)

Hello __, nakakita nga ako ng lalaki na hindi cheater, hindi palabarkada, walang bisyo pero mama's boy. Lahat nalang ng sinasabi ko sinusumbong sa nanay. Well anyway, normal lang ba na mag 2nd thoughts if malapit na ang kasal nyo? Ang dami lang talaga tumatakbo sa isip ko hahaha.
Context: Nagkabalikan po kami ng boyfriend ko last September 2023. We were together for 3 years when I decided to ask for a break up. No 3rd party nor cheating involved. For personal growth po namin and to realize certain things din. I didn't even entertain any men in my life pa nga in the span of me being single kasi I'm still waiting for him and it's the same with him. We were still friends too in fb and from time to time but not always, we still chat. But this best friend of his, I didn't do anything bad to him nor to the rest of their tropa. His bff unfriended me the moment na we broke up. And I didn't mind din naman since I am not a friend of his.They go way back since their grade school days pa.
I've just discovered that post of his recently kasi my boyfriend sent me a link to a video meme which directs me to his best friend's wall. So I kept scrolling since I got entertained by his bff's shared memes then I finally stumbled on that post.. At first I didn't mind, but then it felt kinda familiar. I checked my wall and I landed on this post I did. At first I was still sceptical and didn't wanna assume it was intended for me since hindi din namn kami friends na. But then I remembered na he once "haha" reacted to one of my past posts and hindi na kami friends that time. So how in the world did he end up there on my post when that was not even viral. And btw my mama's boy post wasn't even for any of them, para 'yon sa newbie work colleague na everytime may problem sya sa department namin, sinusumbong sa nanay na head ng ibang dept. and yung nanay ang nag co-complain sa admin 😮‍💨. I don't think they even mattered to me that I'd make a post solely for them. Never stalked any of them either. The thing is that si bff is a bit of a mama's boy. He's spoiled and kinda rich so parang na co-compensate na wala syang trabaho and lives with his mom. Also, I was still friends sa isang babaeng tropa nila na sobrang ma intriga talaga. Remember I was told that she thought that one of my post way back then na it was intentionally for her. Na pinaparinggan ko daw. I mean did it ever occur to her that she's merely just an acquaintance and I wouldn't even bat an eye kahit ano gawin nya sa life nya? I'm not even fond of her enough for me to dedicate any post towards her. She had a history of sending and saving ss and making intriga about it. I unfriended her when I discovered the bff's post and blocked her kasi she might be snooping around. Then I realized I'm still friends with her mom, tried looking for her sa friends list kasi nakita ko pa sya on that day sa list ko.. but then hindi na. I got blocked na bigla2. And brooo, that prying, snoopy little....
I also remember that my bf told me na his bff warned him jokingly that if we ever get back together, it'd be FO between them. Ako personally, although I have to admit I got hurt. I didn't do anything wrong to any of them, we only had a fair amount of interactions and for him to say that as if he hates me down to the core like he knew me. What irks me is that my boyfriend never once slandered any of his exes, never din nag hate boyfriend ko sa any decisions nya sa realtionships kahit na sobrang toxic nya na. Parang ang unfair para sa boyfriend ko.
I sent my bf a ss and he didn't know any of it. We talked in person but I tried to be calm and logical about it. I told him I understand if his friends hate me kasi parang automatic reaction din naman of the friends would hate the ex of their friend diba? And would slander the ex. They're not my friends but his, so I understand. I never slandered any one of them because that's not really my thing and it's beneath me. I really didn't wanna come off as a drama queen to my bf, I didn't wanna burden him but i was hurt. I didn't wanna make him choose since I'm afraid of what he might say, "bros before h*es" nga sabi nila. I'm so afraid that I could cancel everyone for him but maybe not him. I'm terrified that I am nothing against his bff and it tears me. I don't want to tell him to do something about it kasi dapat automatic na sa kanya yan. It would come off like I was begging him to do so. Kasi if he's in my place, I would definitely confront my friends. They don't have the right para murahin sya, hindi ko nga sya minumura. And I don't want him to feel bad talaga sa lahat ng bagay. I'd always cheer him up and encourage him. Inaalagaan ko sya then para lang murahin ng ibang tao na hindi naman sya kilala?? I won't sit idly by that.
Sometimes I'd watch yung segment ng showtime about exes, where some girlfriends were bullied by the people around their bfs and the guys didn't really protect their gfs. Especially yung May 16 episode na mas pinili yung best friend kesa sa gf 😢. Also yung April 17 ep na the girl was bullied too.
