2023.05.29 13:44 anonraa My friend has low self-esteem and idk how to help

Please excuse me if i made any mistakes, i’m not native. My friend(22f) and I (21f) have been friends for 9 years now. For a little context, my friend has always been a little chubby and she always struggled to lose weight over the years but with no luck. Since life can be hard sometimes, we always have therapy sessions together. In our therapy sessions we don’t look for solutions, we just need to talk and let everything out and just sit together comforting each other silently. She talked a lot about how she doesn’t feel beautiful (even though she is!) and she’s self conscious about her body and hates herself. I tried a few times to say something on the matter but she’d tells me “please don’t” and i close my mouth. Now she’s graduating from university and her graduation ceremony is on June 21st. I asked her what she planned so far and she told me she’s not really excited. She didn’t look for a dress bc she thinks since she’s overweight that nothing will look good on her. She compared herself with her other “skinny” friends and how everything looks good on them. I tried telling her that there’s nothing wrong with her body but she stopped me saying “I don’t need this i know how my body looks”. Not only does she think she’s not beautiful, but she also doesn’t have many friends and this is affecting her badly. She’s not looking forward to her graduation because she knows no one will throw her a party or celebrate her and it’s sadly true. Nobody will throw her a party (maybe her family but i’m not counting on it). But i told her i’m here!! I already bought her a gift, decided how her cake would be, and planned a day for her only. I really want her to be able to attend the ceremony whilst being happy. She once told me she wants to skip it and I can’t let that happen. How can i help her? I know this is a delicate matter and I don’t know how to find a way to approach her without making her feel bad or worse. I’d appreciate any advice and suggestions.

2023.05.29 06:44 EnergySilly193 Should I sign up with a therapist? Or is this normal?

Some quick details about myself, I'm female, In my mid 20's, and I was diagnosed with ADD (which i believe is now referred to as ADHD) and Bipolar Depression when I was in middle school. I got therapy and was on medication for the depression for a few years but eventually I didn't need them anymore. I graduated high school and entered college thinking I was fine.
Fast forward to now, I've noticed my ADHD getting worse over that last few years and have debated getting put on medication for it, I didn't end up doing it because I want to manage it on my own like I've been doing. However, over that last few months my anxiety has sky-rocketed due to certain events that have happened and I've had a few anxiety attacks that I've delt with then moved on from. I'm still trying to heal but my anxiety is still really bad. Today I realized it might be more than my anxiety, and that my depression might have made a comeback as well.
I had a really great day overall, I went to work, got called pretty a couple times and someone even said I look like a princess. (I barely did my makeup today lol) my friend who works down the street brought me a free Starbucks drink and a cake pop. Literally made my day, I was tired from work but even then nothing could ruin my mood... until I got home. I was suppose to game with a friend that I had been gaming an ungodly amount with today after not gaming with each other yesterday. When I got home he told me he was tired from hanging out with family and needed time to recharge his social battery. I was fine with that, I know some people don't really hang around people too much because they get mentally drained. I have a low social battery with people I'm not close friends with, so I get it. However, that didn't stop my brain from repeatedly thinking he was tired of me specifically ,and that I was the problem.
In my mind, we didn't hang out yesterday, and probably wont hang out today, and if he was too tired to hang out today he was def going to be too tired to hang out tomorrow. It makes me feel like I did something wrong. Like I'm the problem when in reality I know no ones the problem and that there isn't any problem at all. I talked to him about it because I wanted to be transparent about my feelings, as I am with all my friends, and he reassured me that there was no problem and that he wasn't going to "disappear" he just needs a bit of time to recharge.
But I still have my doubts. The first day we didn't hang out was because he made plans with other friends. (which is normal) Then today he was hanging out with family, and tomorrow he will be too. He says I'm not the problem and that he's not tired of me, specifically he just has no social battery at the moment. Yet he's hanging out with other people still. I wouldn't be surprised if after his last family reunion tomorrow the next day he would have other plans with other people.
I just want people to be honest with me. If they need space from me. If I'm too much for them I just want them to tell me that, and not jump through hoops of "oh yeah I need alone time" only for me to find out they were hanging out with other people this whole time.
Anyways, after we got done talking, I cried (which I don't usually do) I feel like everyone hates me and I'm the problem. This thought has been growing in my mind more and more over the last few months and the one person that made me feel like I wasn't a horrible human, that no one liked, now wants distance from me as well. Am I tired, and hormonal, and over exaggerating, or should I schedule an appointment for a psych eval on Monday?

2023.05.29 04:35 Ok_Key5750 My boyfriend (21M) pays much less than I (20F) do because he says wants to save money and give his tuition fee back to his family. And he recently started splitting the bill with me because he’s not working any more, even when I still buy him lots of food. What can I do?

When we first got together, he would pay for our dates, and he said he thought men should pay for all dates. But I never asked him to pay for everything during that time. I would pay for our drinks or coffee, and I often invited him to my house to cook for him. We've been dating for three months now, and since the second month of dating, we've only gone out once a month. He paid for dinner once in the 2nd month because he told me I made him dinner the night before, and bought train tickets and museum tickets. On our second date in the 3rd month he said the bill was expensive, so I split it with him.
But I don't think it's fair, because most of our dates are at home, where I buy groceries and cook (I often buy expensive, high-quality steak or lamb chops), and I often go to his house and bring him cakes or takeout. He often told me he is poor because he didn't want to spend too much money from and he wanted to pay all his tuition back to his mother after graduation. He's graduating and he can't work part time, so he's recently short on money. In fact, his mother gives him a lot of money every month (his family is very rich, much richer than mine), but I have a feeling he doesn't want to spend it. Every time I buy him something he asks me how much it costs and keeps saying it's expensive. Every time we go out to eat he looks at the menu and says it's expensive. That's why I'm afraid to ask him out on a date. Every time I go out with him, I feel his financial pressure. I feel like I'm forcing him to spend money. But I thought I had done a good enough job, and now it seems that I spent more money than he did.
I want to go out to dinner and movies with him. I think that's what a normal couple should do. I think ideally we should go out two or three times a month. What should I do? I don't think he can change if I ask him, and I don't have the right to change his lifestyle. But I know he likes me a lot (though now I realize he probably likes money more than me), and I like him as well. And he usually treats me well except for the financial related stuff.
TLDR: We rarely go out on dates. When we do, my boyfriend always says it's expensive and wants to split the bill with me. Because he wants to save money and give the money back to his family. But usually I buy him lots of stuff, I think it's not fair

2023.05.28 22:38 SnooSprouts6852 How do I get out again?

Idk if this is the right subreddit, I don't use reddit often; I just want some sort of advice, or maybe just to rant, or both...
I'll try not to give my whole life story, just the basics, I'm sure you all know how it goes.
The TL:DR; version is that I (31f) just moved back in with my dad after living abroad for 5 years, I lost my job and had to leave the country/return to the US and now have nowhere else to go.
I'm kind of a chronic failure and still struggle to live properly as an adult even after all of these years, but I do not want to stay here! I feel like a spoiled ungrateful teenager but my dad is super controlling, treats me like a problematic child and as though if he takes his eyes off of me I'm going to become a drug addicted serial killer (side note the most "rebellious" thing I've ever done was sneak down to the basement and play a video game for more than my allowed hour a day, or spend my allowance on junk food), and says things that freak me out sometimes; he's also gone into fits of rage in the past over the most stupid things that lead to him getting violent, and giving outrageous punishments in the name of "tough love". He says he's changed but I think the only thing that's changed is that his wife and daughters have all left him so he hasn't had anyone to take out his issues on...until now. I've only been here two weeks and have seen red flags and I already want to get out.
I sent an email to the department of human services yesterday asking for help but I'm wondering if anyone else here has any ideas or experiences.
Now for the rant section;
I'm on the autism spectrum, I may have adhd, obviously have been dealing with depression/anxiety, and have been given a c-ptsd diagnosis before as well. I think my upbringing may have messed me up too because my parents never married, broke up before they had me, and basically passed me back and forth my entire life like a hot potato. My half-siblings all grew up to be fine, self-sufficient individuals; I'm the only failure and have never really felt like I fit in with either family.
I'll skip to adulthood; I was constantly being put down and treated like a burden by both families for not being able to find a job and move out after graduation. My mom's side couldn't help financially with school, and my dad's side could, but wouldn't because i didn't seem "serious enough" (couldnt get FAFSA because both sides were well off enough). Eventually I met a guy online who promised to take care of me and ended up going to live with him out of state, which pissed them off even more. That was ten years ago.
I broke up with that guy, and ended up couch surfing for years before becoming completely homeless and living on the streets at 23. Thankfully I found a homeless youth support system who helped me get back into school, which led to a temporary teaching opportunity oversees that I managed to get into. After that was over I came back to the states to finish my degree but it wasn't going well at all, and I wanted so desperately to go back overseas. I decided to try to get into school there instead and poured myself into language studies.
At this point my dad said that he could help me with the financial part (because he could see that I was "serious now"), which was weird, but a blessing. I managed to get through school and even managed to land a job as an illustrator in a good company when I graduated, which was huge! Until that point I had only worked retail jobs that never lasted more than a month or two, and the temporary teaching job which lasted 4 months.
The problem is that I completely struggled at this job too, and after my year-long contract was over, they decided to tell me one week before I needed to renew my visa that they wouldn't be renewing the contract because I wasn't performing to their standards. I honestly dont blame them though, I was struggling with so many mental and physical health problems and definitely had trouble keeping up with all of my coworkers.
My dad (who has since gotten divorced) told me I could come back and live with him in one of his spare bedrooms, and that I could take as long as I needed to figure things out, and that he had totally changed and wasn't "crazy" anymore. I'm not so sure.
For starters, ever since I got back he's been monitoring everything I eat, checking the calories and telling me what is "good" and "bad" and refusing to let me get anything that he deems as "bad" (anything with oil, sugar or carbs basically). He gave me an earful about how I was killing myself and that I needed to make better choices because I wanted a blueberry muffin. What he does deem as "good", he'll only get in small amounts and tell me if I'm hungry and out of food while he's at work, I need to "just sleep it off"; meanwhile he'll load the fridge with his pre-made meals. My mom was going to come up to visit me before I got sick, and he said "don't let her buy you a bunch of food".
This is the man who used to sit down in front of the TV and eat two large pizzas by himself multiple times a week, and would go through weird diets regularly (like eating nothing but green shakes until he couldn't handle it anymore) in an attempt to be "healthy". Even after he "cleaned up" he's called me while I was overseas and told me about how he's getting a donut or how he likes to get three large cookies from a particular store and eat them in one sitting.
On the one hand I know I let myself go over the past ten years (after being ruled with an iron fist over the first 20...go figure), and that he just wants to help me be healthier. On the other hand, I feel like he's projecting his past insecurities onto me and trying to force me into only the "good" parts of his new lifestyle, without letting me balance it with the same indulgences he gets.
I would go shopping for myself (not that I have any money, I did apply for EBT though), but I've always lived in cities with good public transportation, and since I have terrible situational awareness I'm terrified of driving and never learned (no car either). This was fine when I could take a bus, but now I live a 40-minute walk away from the nearest bus station or shop, and another hour by bus into the main city. I have had some snacks delivered from grocery stores delivered by uber eats while he was out with what money I did have but I was so scared of him finding out that I ate them all in one sitting and gave myself a really bad stomachache...anyway, enough about food.
He doesn't want me to see any sort of counselor because "all they do is keep you dwelling on your bad feelings so you'll give them more money" even though he sees a counselor. I've been really sick the past week but he wouldn't help me get to a doctor because "what are they gonna do, poke you around a bit, give you some pain killers and send you back home? You'll get better on your own" (turns out it was covid btw). I asked him to get some cold medicine on his way home from work one day but he didn't because he "didn't feel like going to the store". Fair, but I'm sitting here feeling like I'm on my death bed my guy, and you won't let me just get it delivered because you "need to do things your way"? Ghghghghghghgh
Medicine in general, especially psychiatric, he says I shouldn't be taking at all and that I just need to make better lifestyle choices, even though one of them is for an underactive thyroid which I can't really do much about...
He's been asking me weird things like why my sister won't talk to him (I have no idea) and for me to help him be on better terms with her, or what I think about my mom, what I do and don't like about her, etc. He keeps telling me that he's trying to hang out with my step-mom (the woman he divorced while I was overseas) and complaining that she keeps turning him down and asking me what I think he should do and if I've talked to her and what did she say, etc.
The icing on the cake is that yesterday he asked me to write down Maslow's hierarchy of needs with examples, twice because he wanted a copy too, and no I can't just send him the image because "inconvenience is good for you". He wanted to "have a talk" about them, told me about how he will provide the bottom row, and at the end he said:
"I just don't want you to run away. Like I don't want you to go off and live with your friends, or your cousin, or your mom. I'll still love you if you do, but it will be hard to."
Am I the only one who thinks that's basically a huge red sign saying "get the fuck out of there"? He always talks about how he didnt get enough love from his mom but is he that desperate for female attention that he wants to trap his adult daughter (the only one who still talks to him regularly) in his house for the rest of his life? Isn't the group of five or so girls (including my mom) that he calls every night before bed enough...?
I want to get out of here so badly. This is just some of the stuff that's happened in the past two weeks or so that I've been back in the states. I have dozens of stories about how he's flown off the handle and gotten violent, thrown a bag of dog shit at me while we were out walking the dog together because of a conversation that started about me not liking salmon, ridiculous tantrum behavior that I had managed to push down while I was gone but is starting to resurface and make me scared. And the fact that he seems to want to trap me here makes it even worse.
I do digital illustration work that I would love to do to try to save money (it was literally my job for the past year) but he hasn't let me set up my computer at all yet because he says I should "take time to process" and that "it will only be a distraction", saying that I'm just going to use it to play games all day. I feel incapable of doing any other kind of job because a) the transportation issue and b) I've never had success being employed in the past. I'm afraid if I do set up my PC he's going to smash it in a fit of rage one day and leave me with no outlets. He gets mad about the weirdest stuff, like the aforementioned salmon conversation, or how I keep apologizing or thanking him for helping me with things etc. (what? My mom always got mad at me for forgetting to say thank you for stuff, I'm so confused, my autistic brain cant wrap itself around this)
He's expressed disapproval with me getting any help from the government aside from health insurance, so I've been trying to contact the DHS secretly but I don't know how much help they can honestly provide. I've been told that I definitely qualify for disability benefits (SSI) but I've also heard that once you get on them, you're basically locked into a life of poverty which I also don't want; I want to be self-sufficient and make my own money if I can, I just don't know that I'm capable of it right now, or at all in the long term. I also hear that it can take years to get accepted into any financial aid or affordable housing program, but I don't know if I can stay sane for years... does anyone have experience with these kinds of things?
Sorry for the long post but I feel panicked and like I need so much help getting somewhere..

The Best Guide on How to Feel Confident in a New School and Appeal to Others
Throughout everybody’s life, there are situations where they need to adapt to new social circles. The transfer process often comes with anxiety and unexpected challenges. Unfortunately, low self-esteem sometimes makes it harder to leave the comfort zone successfully. That is why learning to feel good even under such circumstances is beneficial!
How to Boost Self-Confidence in a New School
Without a doubt, moving on to new work or study places requires both mental and physical preparation. Whether you are an adult who changes occupation or a student enrolling in a school or a college, building confidence is necessary. Usually, high self-esteem allows people to build positive relationships with peers. Moreover, recent studies have shown that confident students demonstrate better academic results.
Several factors can stand in the way between a new student and their integration into the group:
  • Low self-esteem
  • Derogatory self-talk
  • Negative past experiences
  • Lack of the communication skill
Sometimes, a person cannot stop overthinking pessimistic scenarios with low chances of coming to life. So how to be confident in school? Don’t worry about it anymore! Our experts from the write papers for me service have gathered the best tips. With these helpful instructions, anyone can gain confidence in a school or a college.
Things to Focus on Before High School
https://preview.redd.it/da918mwjjl2b1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ddc331ad07c352647e1c9f1ef941ae2f8564f05
Feeling that your confidence is high, even among new students, means that you have prepared for the fresh life chapter. Suppose you think that learning to gain courage takes years. Breathe out. Many easy confidence tricks help you develop a strong backbone quickly. But, in the long run, the skill comes with constant practice.
For this reason, our custom research papers service has collected the tips you may employ daily. If you are interested in becoming a confident person, here are the most important things to know before high school.
Prepare for Possible Challenges
Are you stressing over the beginning of the school year? Take a deep breath and focus on the preparations instead of pointless worrying. Indeed, planning is perfect for building confidence in students before school and college classes. A confident student knows that they have everything necessary for their studies. Some people ask their parents for advice, while others search online for tips. Your preparation plan should include:
Finding info on education in the school or college
Indeed, you have to know the specifics of the new place. Try rummaging through their website or talking to people who went there. This way, you can learn whether their classes and extracurricular activities fit you.
Preparing stationary and clothes
Do you want to wear your favorite outfit on the first day? Before that, study the school’s dress code policy. Maybe, they require purchasing their uniform or wearing only specific colors. After that, ensure you have all the stationary needed for your studies, like books, pens, and art supplies.
Getting acquainted with the area
If a person enrolls in a new place, most likely, they recently moved to this area. To avoid confusion, learn the right direction to the college or school. If possible, find out the location of every classroom. Remember, a prepared student is a confident student!
Meet New Friends in Your Study Group
Besides the standard high school tips and tricks for academic success, new school and college students must develop soft skills. In other words, improve your communication ability to gain new friends. You’d be surprised if you knew how many benefits a positive mindset brings to you. A positive attitude is characteristic of confident people, and it helps them form a good first impression.
Write how you want to introduce yourself to potential friends, just in case. Approach people without hesitation and show a genuine desire to communicate. Besides, asking for their social media profiles raises the chances of your success.
Work on Self-Esteem to Be More Open
You probably know that people are either extroverted or introverted. So how to be more confident in school if you are naturally a quiet person? Don’t worry, because any person can achieve success and present themselves as a confident person in the new school. Remember the following statements:
  1. Everybody makes mistakes in communication, so take it easy
  2. Giving yourself a pep talk before entering the classroom helps to build confidence
  3. Replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations
On top of everything, your new school or college friends try to talk to you, not to test you. So act warm and welcoming to form a good first impression.
Practise Online Communication
If you think you can only build confidence in the classroom, mind that going online is a great method too. Additionally, it allows students with social anxiety to come prepared and boost self-confidence before going to college or school. Learn tips from our service to become interesting:
  1. Join the chats to participate in important class discussions online
  2. Talk to your new friends online to feel confident in the classroom in future
  3. Always remind yourself that networking is as crucial for your future as education
Overall, once you master online communication, real-life conversations can seem easier. So train your self-confidence using your favorite gadgets!
Participate in School Life
Education is much more than answering questions in class and doing homework. When you do adequate research, you might stumble upon the new school's versatile activities. One of the options for spending leisure time is a school club. If you are an open-minded student, you can be interested in the most unusual hobbies, from cryptocurrency to pottery. Luckily, modern educational institutions have options for everybody! Here are several tips for choosing the after-class activities:
  1. Choose a club depending on your interests, not because it is popular
  2. Gain skills that can assist you in your future life, especially in college
  3. Continue to visit a club even if it feels challenging and you make mistakes
  4. Instead of joining too many clubs, boost a couple of skills
In general, remind yourself that all after-class studies are for your joy and entertainment. Besides, such activities give students extra self-assurance.
Develop Your Academic Skills
Although entertainment and socializing are exciting, becoming a good student involves additional challenges. The whole point of school is studying everything from writing Heart of Darkness summary or a process paper to mathematical equations. To be confident in your knowledge during any test, seek advice for high school students:
  1. Be consistent with your homework to avoid academic debts
  2. Be confident in your skills despite making mistakes
  3. Keep your head clear by having enough rest
  4. Avoid being late to class
  5. Try to answer teachers’ questions every lesson
Remember that you must write a statement of purpose for graduate school before becoming a college student. In other words, you should know each subject well enough to choose a preferred degree. One of the most common student mistakes is jeopardizing future success by being an irresponsible student. So let your mind lead you away from making impulsive decisions.
How to Become an Interesting Person?
One of the unattainable characteristics of a confident student is that they make others interested in them. When people sense an unusual personality, they naturally gravitate towards the newbie. What is the secret of success, then? Somebody might think that only legends like actors or astronauts can interest and lead people around them. But, this statement is wrong.
In reality, anyone has a chance of becoming an interesting person, regardless of their background. You are a blank sheet of paper for people in your new school and class. Hence, it depends on your effort whether your classmates can find you engaging. Let’s talk about useful tips and tricks for becoming more interesting!

Become Interested, Tolerant, and Funny
Surprisingly, the most reliable method of becoming an interesting individual is to become curious about the surrounding world and people. In this case, a new school is the perfect source of fascinating acquaintances. Boost your confidence and come up to other people in the class to have a chat. For instance, ask them about:
  • Favorite subjects and hobbies
  • The preferred places to spend time in town
  • Local holidays and school traditions
Generally, students gladly show new people around. Besides that, be as open-minded as possible to the new place and people, although it might be hard initially. With time, every newcomer gains more confidence and becomes more open to fresh experiences.
Finally, boost your sense of humor to spice up every conversation. However, avoid offending anyone with your witty remarks. To make things easier, watch stand-up shows or comedies to borrow jokes.
Ditch Self Doubt and Show the Real You
Whenever you wonder how to be more confident in school, an important recommendation is to be yourself. Yes, it is easier to say than to do. So the first thing on the list is to distinguish the real you. Most of the time, a human’s personality soaks up other people's notions. Therefore, you must rethink your opinions on multiple matters to figure out the real you.
The next stage is to fight the temptation of copying popular kids in the new school. Indeed, mirroring them can boost your confidence temporarily, but merging with other students’ personalities is damaging. Still, you can follow their example partially. Finally, be confident enough to express your thoughts out loud. Then, even though some might disagree with you, you can befriend like-minded people.
Practise New Skills
Have you ever seen how a group of students surrounds somebody who plays guitar or sings in the school hall? Indeed, such a stunt is a piece of cake for a confident student. Granted that you want to win the hearts of your new classmates, ponder over developing a new skill. Listen to the following advice:
  1. Confidence is high when you practice something that inspires you
  2. Pick a unique hobby that nobody else in the class has
  3. Always improve your skills since perfection has no limit
The additional bonus is when you can show off your talents on the school stage or stadium. This way, you are multiplying the chances of gaining new fans from the audience. However, even if you are keen on hiking or maths, you always have an interesting discussion topic.
Gain Knowledge Through Books
Another excellent method to be confident in conversations with people is reading books. Frequently, society associates reading with nerds or homebodies who lack communication skills. Spending time with a good blog or a novel makes a person more eloquent. Mind that a large vocabulary is an underestimated factor that makes someone a good speaker.
To be confident in your literature choice, turn to reliable lists of top books where experts mention high-quality works. Moreover, such books allow people to travel in space in time while sitting in a coach. Hence, you discover something new even with a limited budget.
Be a Good Listener
Among other easy confidence tricks, scientists recommend becoming a good listener. Why does it matter? In brief, people like it when others show compassion and understanding in response to their stories. For sure, listening requires practice and a high level of emotional intelligence.

2023.05.28 20:57 ThebakingRN L’Oréal hydraperfect powder discontinued:(

It’s finally happened, L’Oréal hydraperfect was finally discontinued, it was my holy grail. I’ve had a feeling this was coming. Walmart was the only one still getting me through and I would by two at a time when I was out but that supply is dwindling. Now I need to find a replacement product!
I loved this powder. It was truly translucent. It didn’t have to be caked on to achieve it’s finishing goal. It would leave my skin looking hydrated with just the right amount of matte finish. It didn’t settle into lines and wrinkles. And it was $11!
I travel all over the cost spectrum of makeup and skincare, but would love something under $20. I really only like loose powder and I’m pasty AF so I like translucent, but not necessarily the all white powders (I didn’t love the makeup forever white powder). Most of all I would love it not to migrate to my developing lines and wrinkles and feel light on the skin. I’m currently using Skin Better Science sunbetter tone smart as a foundation (a bit thicker than a tinted moisturizer).
Any product recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I started doing some research today but got overwhelmed! Thanks so much!!

2023.05.28 18:36 Single-Court-9946 How did I get here

No need to say anything dating related. I’m married and happy and lay pipe on the reg to my thicc juicy wife.
That being said
Why am I getting such thirsty notifications from so many children such as yourself? I assume you, the reader of this post, has the mental capacity of an HOA-approved house plant since you’re asking Reddit for relationship advice.
My main comment is; how about y’all stop being so thirsty? I bought a Cake Stroker from Walmart for $10 and it relieved more anxiety than any thumb twiddling you cretins do on here.
This is meant to be taken very seriously, as I know you Reddit mouth-breathers like to key up anyone who isn’t sex-positive like a Roman orgy. You people disgust me with your thirsty genitals. Burn in a fire, Reddit scum

2023.05.28 16:19 Ok-Introduction-8640 I really strive to become a financial advisor.

I just graduated with a bachelors in business administration and a minor in finance. I currently work for Walmart as I have had for four years. I would consider myself extremely financially literate as I have many instances where I’ve helped people increase their credit, help making good financial decisions, and the importance of money. I am 22 and work my tail off every shift working 50+ hours a week and I really need a change in atmosphere. I’ve been told that I should apply for a financial advisor role at a large bank, but unfortunately these rules require many licenses and certifications that I was told in school would be provided during the training. Is it really worth paying out of pocket to receive these? How should I approach becoming a financial advisor? Should I start as a teller ,a relationship banker, a personal banker. I would really prefer a job that pays at least $25 an hour that would benefit me becoming a financial advisor in the future. Any and all help would be appreciated.

2023.05.28 11:30 secret-accoun-t I won’t make it to my 18th birthday.

For the past three years I haven’t felt entirely real, I guess. Every day is the same. Wake up, ????????, go to bed. I don’t know who I am. I don’t know anything about myself and no one knows anything about me. I don’t have any friends. I don’t have anyone to talk to about this.
I hate myself. I hate every single thing about me. I’m ugly, I’m annoying, I’m “weird”, I’ve been bullied since I was old enough to get to kindergarten. I have no idea what’s going on in any of my classes. I’m not going to graduate in time. I don’t know how to make doctors appointments I can’t make phone calls I can’t talk to anyone that doesn’t talk to me first. I still break down if I have to do presentations.
I hate birthday parties. No one ever comes. I make my own cake. I don’t get presents, which is entitled, I know, but I dont fucking care. Christmas is just a reminder that no one knows who I am. I hate being expected to hide any signs of mental illness. I’ve been doing it for years. I’m a pro. It’s just getting tiring. It’s getting very hard to pretend I’m happy everyday when i really just want to put a bullet through my skull.
I’m a joke. No one is better for having known me. I’m a black hole. I’m nothing. I’m worthless. The only reason I haven’t killed myself yet is because I just don’t have the energy. I hate that my very existence is being called into question and then being labeled as “politics”. I hate that I was born in the wrong body and I hate all these ugly scars on my thighs.
I wish i was pretty. I wish i was worth something. I’m tired of being “funny”. I’m just tired. I don’t want to keep going on like this. Something had to give before I do.

2023.05.28 04:09 Subie2k18 Nobody believes this is a movie since I can’t find it.

Vulgar - I watched this movie more than a few years ago. It starts with a younger couple who go out to a cabin to stay. They’re fairly close to a lake. They arrive at this cabin/house/motel. They go inside to check in & meet an older lady. This same older lady than takes a bath with a spoon. She puts this spoon in a place spoons don’t belong. She then bakes the couple a cake/food and brings it to them: setting this spoon on the plate.
This is a terrible, low cost production film. I’m almost certain it was in a $5 collection from Walmart. I’ve tried googling it, I’ve asked friends, nobody knows what I’m talking about.
Someone please tell me I’m not crazy.

2023.05.27 23:19 Humble_Rope5958 I made an anonymous report about everyone/every thing happening at my job

There’s been a lot of consistent issues happening at my Walmart, but the tip of the iceberg was yesterday when a boy who I’m friends with told us that he requested off four months ago for today and put the reason being is,because he graduates today. They denied him his request of time off three times when he reached out to our coach about it over OGP she told him just work until you have graduation and then you can put ppto to cover for the hours you need off during that shift
They have high schoolers being the only people to close by ourselves, and it’s only four of us. When the days that we need off for senior activities such as cap and gown receiving,and graduation rehearsal we’re denied because they are short staffed. We also have a Team Lead who is damn near in her 30s who is so inappropriate to the boys that work there.This Team Lead she came in late one day and some of the boys asked her where she was and she decides to fix her lips and say I was with my man and I was getting fucked. Yes, I kid you not she told a bunch of 16 to 17 year-old boys that’s the reason she was late was because she was getting fucked like ma’am you’re grown as hell. These are kids you are a lead you’re supposed to be over the department when the coach isn’t there and that’s how you talk to kids.
This job cares very little to zero about any employee,my coworker almost passed out from having to wear pants in the heat and they told her “get a bottle of water ,and go sit down for a couple of minutes and then come back to work” 😒. The temperature gets up to at least 102 degrees without. The store manager, Ronnie told us that we’re not allowed to wear shorts,but only men are allowed to wear shorts women can wear a long skirt that comes down to your ankles which is just as hot as wearing pants I’ve had enough of working at this Walmart.
Edit: I know the sentences were terrible I’ve fixed them
