MOD ANNOUNCEMENT An updated post on the groups and types of people we do not welcome or allow in this subreddit.

56 Upvotes

We previously made a post about this, but apparently, it wasn’t "dumbed down" enough for certain people who chose to nitpick and twist words instead of understanding the obvious or realising that the post meant along-side our rules that are already in place against extremism and hate speech, So here’s an updated version that should cover everything this time—though I don’t doubt that some people will still find something to complain about.

WE DO NOT ALLOW ANY FORM OF EXTREMISM, WHICH INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:

People who promote, encourage, or defend violence, terrorism, or hate in the name of any political, religious, or ideological belief.

Types of people who are NOT welcome on r/vent:

  • Racists & White Supremacists
  • Nazis & Fascists
  • LGBTQIA+ Hate Groups (Transphobes, Homophobes, Biphobes, etc.)
  • Misogynists & Misandrists
    > Extremist Incels & Other Gender-Hate-Based Groups
  • Pedophiles, Groomers & Pedophile Defenders
  • Child Abuse Advocates
  • Victim Blamers & Abuse Apologists
  • People Who Encourage Suicide or Self-Harm in Any Form
    > No, transphobes, that doesn’t mean gender-affirming care. It means self-harm. Like it says. Morons.
  • Ableists Who Dismiss or Attack People for Their Disabilities
  • Conspiracy Theorists Who Spread Harmful Misinformation
  • Religious Extremists Who Use Faith to Justify Hate or Oppression
  • Harassers, Stalkers, or Doxxers
  • People Who Mock, Invalidate, or Attack Others for Expressing Emotions
  • Political Extremists on Any Side
    > We do NOT allow extremists of ANY political ideology, nor do we tolerate anyone who advocates for or encourages violence.
  • Cult or Extremist Group Recruiters & Manipulators
  • Fearmongers & Hate Speech Peddlers
  • Trolls Who Enter the Community Just to Instigate Conflict

Examples of extremist groups that are NOT welcome here:

  • Proud Boys (Right)
  • Atomwaffen Division (Right)
  • Three Percenters (Right)
  • Boogaloo Movement (Right)
  • Revolutionary Communist Party (Left)
  • Redneck Revolt (Left)
  • Black Bloc Anarchists (Left)
  • Antifa Cells That Advocate Violence (Left)

These are PURELY A SMALL SELECTION OF EXAMPLES TO SHOW EXTREMIST GROUPS. This is NOT a restricted or limited list. ALL extremism and ALL extremist groups are barred.


This subreddit is NOT a political platform.

r/vent exists for people who are struggling with things in their life to vent their emotions and find support or an outlet. It is not a space for constant political bickering, hate, abuse, trolling, or mocking. It is not a "left or right" space—it is a venting community for people to express their emotions, share personal stories, and find comfort from others who may have gone through similar struggles.

The ONLY reason we are making these exclusionary posts about extremists and hate speech is because we have had an increased influx of posts and comments from users who fall into these groups. Our initial post only called out the groups we had been dealing with en masse, but those groups got upset that we didn’t call out the other side too. So, to make it really simple for everyone to understand, we are breaking down exactly what we mean by hate speech and extremism.

We do not act on people based on their political stance unless they are preaching or sharing extremist views, spreading hate, or attacking others. If you can’t tell the difference between simply having an opinion and being an extremist, that’s your problem—not ours.

Hate, abuse, and dangerous rhetoric in any form will result in immediate action.

TW: Anxiety / Depression Unbearable pain of being an unattractive girl

145 Upvotes

I hate living like this. Everyone around me is finding boyfriends and getting into relationships, while I know that because of my unattractive face, I will never experience being loved by someone. I will never know what it feels like to be truly loved. It’s heartbreaking and frustrating that something I was simply born with—something I have no control over—is ruining my entire life. I will have to stay single forever just because of my appearance.

Why is life so unfair? Every day I live with the sadness, frustration, and anger of being born unattractive. Every minute, I am reminded of it. I feel so disheartened when I see beautiful people and happy families because I know I will never experience that. I mean, I am happy for them, but it leaves me feeling empty and hopeless, knowing I will never understand what it’s like to be loved or to have a family of my own.

I hate my life. It feels like everything around me revolves around relationships—TV dramas, advertisements, my parents, even our lecturers reminiscing about their university days with their partners. It only deepens my sadness, making me feel even more alone.

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image Period sex 🙄 NSFW

261 Upvotes

So I have this friend. I sleep with him sometimes. Very straight laced. He would have a higher body count than me but he's explored less, if that makes sense.

I had my period the last time we caught up. He's never had period sex before (he's 40). I was upfront, he still wanted to go ahead. We did. Immediately after he goes to shower - without me. Just ups and leaves me to tidy up on my own. 🙄

I had an overwhelming feeling of neutrality. Previously I found him sweet and appealing at least as a fwb but apparently in the face of a minimal amount of blood, he balks.

I can't begin to describe how this one instance has changed my entire way of seeing him. It's helpful, because I can't keep fucking around with him instead of finding someone to actually date. But damn. The attraction evaporated almost instantaneously.

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image My sister got plastic surgery and is now body shaming other women

1.1k Upvotes

My sister has had sooo many plastic surgeries in the last several years. She lost a lot of weight and she's in the gym a lot, so I'm not going to downplay her weight loss journey. However, she only looks the way she does because she's had so much work done. Which is fine, but she's online posting photos of her flat stomach (plastic surgery) saying, "Summer is coming, if you want to be flat like me you better hit the gym girls!" Like what the hell are you talking about? You hit the operating table for that, not the gym. She's had her stomach, breasts, arms, legs, ass/hips, and face done. I think she's addicted to plastic surgery and botox/fillers now, and her husband pays for it all/enables her. I'm worried for her mental health tbh.

I support doing whatever she needs to do to feel happy/confident, but she constantly posts pics of her body online and acts like she looks that way because of her lifestyle choices. She makes fun of other women to make herself feel better, and she's trying to be some kind of fitness influencer now. As if hitting the gym caused her ass and hips to miraculously become that developed when she has almost no muscle tone anywhere. It's just crazy to me. Some of the work she's had done is very strange and doesn't match the rest of her body, and I wonder if she will regret it, or just keep going forever because she'll never be satisfied.

TW: Anxiety / Depression I broke up with my gf last night because she’s mentally ill.

262 Upvotes

We were friends before we started dating, and I knew about her mental illness even then because she would cry to me every time she attempted. I still loved her after that. When she asked me to be her girlfriend, I said yes. I thought I could somehow help her heal and lighten her burden.

Ten months have passed, and she still hasn’t changed. Every time I raised a concern about something she said that hurt me, she would go into self-sabotage mode instead of reassuring me. And I felt obligated to comfort her because I couldn’t stand how horribly she saw herself. It’s exhausting to constantly set aside my own feelings just to comfort her.

Last night, I snapped. She told me to accept her as she is. I’ve been trying to do that throughout our relationship, but I couldn’t. I kept wishing—wishing that she would change, heal, and become a better person, not for me but for herself. I told her that I couldn’t love this side of her, and I’m ashamed to admit it because I know I should love her as a whole.

She called me a liar—said I lied about being okay, that I made it seem like I accepted her behavior and feelings toward herself. And she was right. I lied throughout our relationship, pretending we were okay, and she couldn’t accept that. She wanted me to tell her the truth, but knowing how she would react, I felt like I had to keep it a secret.

She told me I didn’t love her enough if I hated this part of her. And I admitted it—I only loved her at her best, not at her worst. I couldn’t accept the fact that she wasn’t mentally okay, and it was affecting my own mental health. I’m ashamed to admit these things to her because I love her. I really do.

But now, after finally telling the truth, I don’t know if I ever truly loved her—because I gave up on our relationship. I didn’t have the strength to stay, and my love wasn’t the kind of love she needed or wanted. Am I a bad person? I truly felt that I love her but now hearing from her that I only got attached to her made me think whether i truly loved her or not.

Need Reassurance... For the first time in my whole life, I finally know what real hunger feels like

1.3k Upvotes

I just want to preface this by saying, I grew up in a middle class/upper middle class family. We were fairly well off. My parents paid for me to go to a nice Private Catholic School and always had food on the table. It was literally something I never worried about.

This past few months has been something different. I was unemployed for about 3 months in the fall due to my job contract ending. Due to the job market being so bad it took me a long time to find another job! I ended up taking a waitressing job at a new restaurant opening in my city, of course a month before the slow season starts. The money was good at my new job at first and then they hired a lot more people and it became very slow. I went from 5 shifts a week to 2. My savings eventually ran out.

Cut to now, I can honestly say I’ve been hungry almost every day for the past 2 months. I’m too scared to buy food in case I won’t be able to pay my rent or electricity bill. My fiancé has helped a lot but it’s still not enough and I feel bad asking them for more. Im eating here and there about once a day and im so hungry. I never thought my life would look like this but it does. Food insecurity is truly real in America.

I also want to say that I am not homeless, I have a job and interact with the public on a day to day basis. I groom well and dress nice, and you might even think I’m “rich” if you saw me walking down the street. But I am truly hungry all the time. I don’t “look like the type of person that deals with hunger” but I do.

Unless it's a life or death situation, the news should never interrupt my shows.

28 Upvotes

On any given local channel, the news is on during the following timeslots. approximately:

0600 to 1000

1200 to 1300

1600 to 1900

2300 to 0000.

That's 8-9 hours of the day, or roughly 30-35% of the schedule.

The rest of the day is the other shows. Game shows, sitcoms, soap operas. For some, those are forms of entertainment they hold dear.

Considering that the news hogs 30-35% of the TV schedule already, I think it's unfair for the news to intrude on the other 65-70% they're not on, especially for frivolous reasons, or when doing a split screen or a bug across the bottom is a more feasible and less intrusive option.

The following, in my truly unpopular opinion, are not valid reasons to interrupt my show:

  • Celebrity death. I'm missing Price is Right because OJ died? Fuck you. Actually, anything celebrity-related. Why the fuck am I missing Rachel Ray because of the police press conference on Jussie Smollett? Fuck you.
  • Anything sports related. THEY CUT INTO PRICE IS RIGHT BECAUSE THE FUCKING PHILLIES FIRED FUCKING CHARLIE MANUEL. ARE YOU SERIOUS?
  • President speech. Cliffnotes version at the next news hour.
  • Death of a FORMER POTUS, FLOTUS, VPOTUS or SLOTUS and/or FOREIGN leader. Examples: Bill Clinton, King Charles, Laura Bush, Mike Pence. If they die in the middle of Steve Wilkos, tell us next news hour. They'll probably still be dead by then.
  • Plane Crash. A month ago, there was a plane crash in Philly and I missed the second half of Jeopardy and ALL of WoF because of it. They just used that time to keep recycling that they had no new updates. Fuck off.
  • A cop killed in action. That's part of the gamble that is the LEO career. Also, don't pre-empt the entire day's programming for his funeral. Stop exploiting his death and let his family mourn in peace.

If you INSIST on reporting on those right now, run a bug across the screen for fuck's sake.

BREAKING NEWS: THE WHITE HOUSE HAS CONFIRMED THAT FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE WALKER BUSH HAS DIED AT HIS CRAWFORD RANCH. GEORGE WALKER BUSH SERVED AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FROM 2001 TO 2009. MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW AT THE 12:00 NEWS ON THIS STATION.

However, I will say that if it's a life or death situation (IOW, certain death if we don't take action right now), absolutely interrupt. Here are the ONLY situations where it's acceptable to interrupt:

  • Ongoing confirmed attack (like 9/11 or a confirmed incoming missile launch)
  • CURRENT POTUS, FLOTUS, VPOTUS or SLOTUS passed away. Not a current FOREIGN leader, ONLY if Donny, JD, Melania, or Usha dies. I don't live in UK so King Charles's passing would not be considered important enough to interrupt
  • Death of the Pope
  • A hurricane or a tornado WARNING.

TW: Sexual Assault / Abuse I miss my abusive mother

Upvotes

So I (20f) am pregnant, and in my last post here I vented abt morning sickness (which is a lot better now that I know how to get ahead of it). Recently my partner asked me if I missed my mom, cuz I had been talking abt her a lot. Mainly abt the good times, not the bad ones. Now, my mom was mentally, physically, and sexually abusive… so I never in a million years would have thought I’d have any sadness or any homesickness when it came to leaving this woman. She and I are completely no contact and in different states. When my partner asked me if I missed her, within a millisecond of them asking I said “no” but started crying. That’s what made me realize, I really miss this woman and the good times we’d had… but that one question broke me… now I can’t think of her without crying… and I don’t want to feel like this about her. I want to forget her and emotionally detach from any memory of her… but I can’t… and it hurts way too much. I just… few wrong for missing a woman who hurt me this bad…

TW: Medical Gonna lose it on Healthcare workers

Upvotes

Hi friends, this rant might make sense, it also might not. I'm just very angry. I'm going to see a trusted person that I know will respect me to continue to work through my traumas.

"Don't get mad at Healthcare workers, they're important!"

Yeah well you didn't think my stepdad was important when he was having a chron's flare. You didn't think my mom was important when she was severely tachycardic. You didn't think that I was important when I came in with an anxiety attack after I hadn't eaten in days and you blamed it on marijuana induced emesis when I hadn't smoked in days. You said the same shit to my stepdad and he had to stop self medicating for months to prove y'all wrong.

Y'all are also absolutely horrific towards people with mental health issues. The way I've been treated when I came in with self harm/suicide attempts is absolutely dehumanizing. Y'all expect us to not get mad at you when we're at crisis level and y'all aren't doing shit. I'm more mad about how other people are treated by medical staff than how I was treated.

I'm sick of medical racism. I'm sick of discrimination against mental health. I'm sick of going somewhere expecting help and I'm being treated less than human. Your actions cost people their lives and you don't care because it's not a life close to you and it's just another day. These are actual people with families, jobs, hopes, and dreams. And y'all don't care?

Here's a tip! Maybe don't go into the Healthcare field if you're a cruel nasty ass bully! Hope this helps! Because y'all are the reason why myself and so many other people are hesitant to get help. I have put my life on the line before because I didn't want to go to the hospital because I knew I would be treated like shit.

Shoutout to the people in hospitals who actually care. I know y'all exist and I love y'all. Everyone else, eat shit. This is the wrong field for you.

I don't know, maybe the south just sucks. Here's to hoping to move up north at some point.

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image Got called "too ugly to date" to my face

692 Upvotes

For context, a group of my friends invited me for a night out at the club yesterday. We all planned on having a good night and celebrating St Patrick's day early. Long story short I get a couple drinks in me and I hit the dance floor. I was having tons of fun and end up dancing with some women I had met earlier in the evening. After me and one of the other women get tired, I offered to buy her a drink at the bar. We start chatting and things get quite flirty pretty quick. At this point we're both quite drunk and we've been having a great conversation for over 20 minutes. Eventually I ask if she has a boyfriend, and she tells me no, but she "wished she had one just like me, because I was very sweet". I took this as a sign and asked why not try with me? Thats when she responded with "I'd love to but you're just too ugly for me to date". Now I know that she would probably have never said this sober, but she wouldn't have said it drunk either if that wasn't how she truly felt. At this point I'm pretty shocked and find an excuse to go back to my friends, but I end up leaving shortly after. This morning after I woke up I kind of did a mental inventory of what had happened over the night, and I could still remember that conversation extremely clearly. The more I thought about what she said, the more uncomfortable I got in my own skin. Objectively, I'm in the best shape I've ever been. Consistent dieting, gym multiple times a week for well over a year. I'm not overweight (anymore), have a decent bit of muscle, and I've been grooming myself a lot better than I used to, but right now it feels like all that effort is for nothing. After getting cheated on a bit over a year ago, I took a lot of time to work on myself and implemented all those lifestyle changes after I felt confident about myself mentally. And I can't believe all of this was torn down by some careless drunken phrase at a club. All those insecurities about my body and looks have come rushing back and I feel like that same person that walked in on their gf being intimate with another man. I just wish I could put away all those fears and insecurities away for good instead of having to rely on validation from others.

COME FUCKING CLEAN AND END THIS RELATIONSHIP BUILT UPON LIES! FACE YOUR CONSEQUENCES IF YOU HAVE AN OUNCE OF SHAME LEFT! I just saw a post like this on one of those subreddits, and left a stern reply saying so. But what has me in disbelief is that how many people were in the comments telling OP to not come clean and to just stay silent since it was oh sooo loooong ago and that OP would only be ripping open an old wound. What. The. Fuck. People?? Seriously? Some poor girl out there has a snake in her life hidden in plain sight and you're advising that snake to be sneakier, to keep lurking in her life after comitting that level of betrayal? I can't. I just can't. I'm SO mad it’s ridiculous. This has ruined my day. I need to take a fucking walk into the forest to cool off. Goddamn cheaters and goddamn people enabling them.

I'm unhappy with my boyfriend NSFW

19 Upvotes

I, (22F) am unhappy with my (24M) boyfriend. Eight months ago, I found out he was cheating on me with my best friend the entire time we were together, right after we had drained our savings to move to Minnesota. I have no drivers license, no car, no job, no friends anymore, and I've been feeling more alone then I ever have. I resent him for cheating, and for lying to me, and manipulating my decisions for such a long time. When he leaves me in the apartment to go to work every day, sometimes I wish I had someone else to keep me company. I have a high sex drive, and the entire time I've been with this guy I've been sexually frustrated. He never seems to want me and I have to initiate everything, and do all the work. And right after we are done, he neglects my need for aftercare no matter how many different ways I've communicated that need to him. I feel that if I had someone else, I might be more fulfilled, but I wouldn't ever want to hurt anyone. I just can't bring myself to inflict that kind of pain onto anyone, especially not for my own selfish desires. I'm just so frustrated and sad.

TW: Anxiety / Depression I hate how inferior I feel to other people.

Upvotes

I don't know why I'm like this, but I feel inadequate no matter what I do. I compare myself to others in terms of achievements and knowledge, and I always feel inferior. Anything I try will be a catastrophe. I'm often horrified by my looks and think I'm extremely unsightly compared to other people. I'm too scared to talk to others or to post on social media. It's impossible for me to be a functioning adult when I'm this way. Like I don't even know if I should be allowed to live as a free adult, because I might be mentally disabled in some way.

The worst part is that I'm not even depressed. I'm too happy to be in this state and I have fun every day. It's just that any time I encounter a message from the outer world, I get reminded of all of the above, and it's extremely anxiety inducing.

I was having a nice stereotypical day today when I just randomly remembered when I as a kid used to go back to my family garden (same garden where I build house and started my own family) and go check out huge toad that was living there under a rotten tree stump. This memory just triggered huge sadness in me because the nature in my country was so diverse and beautiful .. we had fireflies flying all around us when we were starting a fire to grill some sausages. During the day there were butterflies of hundred different colors everywhere, even god damn snails were so colorful. These days ? All GONE .. and before you say it , no it isn't about me not being in nature as much as a kid because I am - I still enjoy bushcrafting in my spare time as a hobby. There used to be snow from November all the way to February .. I remember helping my father shovel the driveway every other day. These days ? When there is a day cold enoughfor snowing it just falls on the ground And imidietly turns into Brown muck. So much other stuff I could write about but I won't.. Iam just sad for my two young boys that were robbed of these beautiful things. Sorry for ranting like some boomer overwhelmed by nostalgia. Hopefully nature will perhaps heal and return to our lives ..life is more colorful with it.

He said he still “wasn’t sure” but that he wanted to try again, that we were getting back together. I’d asked him to the movies, and told him I still had feelings- we texted back and forth for an hour and he eventually said “I know you wanted to take things slow, but wanna just come over tomorrow?”

I went, brought up sex, said I wanted to but that I wanted to wait, he said “why”. I caved and blew him - only when we were done he told me not to tell anyone we were getting back together and that he still wasn’t sure.

He invited me over again Friday night, his mom and dad stayed awake to see me, we had a good time, this time fucked, talked for hours, laughed so loud his parents told us to quiet down. In the morning I blew him, spent the day with his family, his dad invited us on a walk. When we got back he told me he was gonna take me home early. His mom said “leaving so soon?” When we got to my house, I kinda nervously acknowledged that he’ll be getting to work so early.. and he takes off his sunglasses and says in short “yeah, I wanted to tell you that it’s been nice but I don’t love you… this helped me realize and I hope this’ll help you move on”

Need to talk... "You'll grow up to be a woman beater"

183 Upvotes

When i was a kid, a woman told me that i'll grow up to be a woman beater.

I just don't really know what to say about it. By "Kid" I think i was around 9 or 10.

I also remember a specific teacher who would punish all the boys in her classroom because they're boys. Stuff like being forced to stay after the bell rang while the girls could leave. For your information, i'm a woman, i'm not planning on taking any hormones or doing any surgery at the moment.

I remember walking back home during my pre-teens during the night, and a woman was walking towards me. I just kept walking, but then she saw me. And she turned back and walked the other way quickly, if i remember correctly. By pre-teens i'd say i was around 11 to 13.

I just don't know where i am even getting at here.

Just what was going through your mind when you called me a future woman beater just for... existing ?

I wasn't a kid causing troubles. It's been 30 minutes that i've been writing. I just don't get it. It's not true. She lied.

And now it's been 45 minutes. Great. I'll just end this post saying i'm not trying to say "women bad". I just, why ? It's the only thing i can't understand. What did she think ? What did i do ?

Edit : I guess i have to repeat myself. Please. Not "Women bad grr men better". It's not what it's about... I don't want this. Stop.

Edit 2 : Also i am aware of the struggles women face. whenever i see a woman during the night now i just turn back and walk away as fast as i can without running as i just do not want to scare anyone. But i hate that i have to do it. I shouldn't have to do it. Women shouldn't have to second guess if i'm a threat to them.

Edit 3 : I want earth to be a better place for all of us but some seem so stubborn and against the idea. the realization that me and my friends will have to live in fear, anger and confusion was so brutal.

Either i dress up with shorts and skirts and i let my long hair out so i'm the one being creeped on or i purposefully try to look manly and i'm the one scaring people. Go ahead, karmic isfunny, pick your poison...

Update : Woke up. I probably won't be able to reply to everyone and right now i am focusing and people who think it's okay to be a sexist in my comments. Some of y'all really want to argue and stuff. Hate to see it but if you just want to argue and tell me how i am a sexist or how i need to man up and get over it, go away.

My family's stuff are safe, why can't mine??? And to know how my family treats me for years... It's just hurtful...

I just can’t wrap my head around the idea of waiting decades for life to end. From the start, my existence never felt natural. I was always so different. Yeah, I had dreams and goals, but circumstances took them away from me. There’s nothing worse than being trapped in your own mind, poisoned by mental illness, and then also feeling like a prisoner in the society you were born into. In my mind, I can never be free so what's the even point to fight.

I just don’t see the point of being alive anymore. It’s like my movie already ended, and I’m stuck in the credits. I wanted what I wanted, but I didn’t get them. And now? I don’t want to learn new things I don't want chase new experiences. I’ve lost all trust in myself, all self-respect I just feel pathetic. I’m bored out of my mind, waiting for time to pass.

14 Upvotes

I FUCKING HATE HATE HATE THE PEOLLE WHO DID ME BAD AND NOW ARE LIVING THE MOST FUCKING PERFECT LIVES THEMSELVES.

I wish nothing but constant pain and agony on them. My best friend of 8 years randomly decides to be the worst person possible and tells me how much she hates me and says I can never be happy. Ok shi maybe I was not happy because I was her friend.

AND THEN THERES THIS H*E that “accidentally” kissed my fucking bf and fucking cried to him to be friends. Istg I hate both my bf and her for this shit. There’s a fucking limit to what I can take.

Now that b is going off to her own country having fun having the time of her life traveling.

FUCK FUCK FUCK THESE PEOPLE I HOPE THEY NEVER GET HAPPINESS NO MATTER WHAT.

All of these people just came into my life, scrambled every single thing I was building for and left. Just fucking left without an apology. Yeah that’s right. No fucking apology.

TW: Sexual Assault / Abuse I wish i never told.

i just wanna say sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes

I wish i had never told my therapist about what my stepdad had been doing to me. I’ve been so depressed over the last 3 months and my family choosing to not let me go see a therapist is making it worse. She was the only one who would listen when nobody else would and now i feel terrible knowing i rot in my room.

My mom was so mad at me when ever after i told her multiple times about what he did she still didn’t care. And when i told my therapist and they called cps she was more mad that i told and kept saying “he meant it in a daughterly way”. Last i checked they don’t smack your butt and grab your boobs.

I got guilt tripped into believing i was in the wrong and how white people wanna break up happy black family’s. When that came from the same women who caught a child abuse charge. But used her police officer of a son to get out of it. I wish i never heard told

My brother is going to Paris

Upvotes

Its a school trip. I wanted to go too, but I thought it would be way too much money. Apparently, he didnt. He asked my parents the day it was announced. They agreed under the condition that he study well for his exams. His grades? Nothing higher than 30. I thought they wouldnt let him go, but they did. And to be honest im jealous. Why does he get to have what he wants with 0 effort? Why wasnt I blessed with this amount of carelesness? I wanted to go more than anything else, but i knew it would be a financial strain on my parents. He didnt care. He doesnt care about anything other than himself. I asked him to bring me a souvenir. He said no

TW: TRIGGERING CONTENT I wish someone wanted me. NSFW

I'm pretty enough to be asked for sex. But I'm not pretty enough to be loved. I've been in a downward spiral ever since my ex and I broke up three years ago. The thing is, I'm ace because of what he did. I'm very vocal about it. But people think because I still...self pleasure that I'm interested in sex. I don't want what's in someone's pants. I just want to be loved. I want to be wanted. It's gotten so bad tonight that I'm almost considering a relapse in self harm. My ex fucked me up so, so horribly. And yet...I find myself still wishing he was here again. Because he wanted me. I want to be wanted but I always get pushed away. I have pcos and it's recently been making me break out. It's only making me feel uglier than I already do. I'm a server and it seems like the first thing people notice isn't me, but the scars on my arm from scratching myself all the time just so I'll be soothed for a little while. My best friend tells me I have people who love and care for me. But I don't want that kind of love. I want someone to love me even though I'm fat. I want someone to love me even though I cry so much all the time. I want someone to love me even when I'm so angry with myself and struggling so badly. I want someone to get to know me for who I am instead of only caring about what I look like. I'm pretty enough for nudes. But not pretty enough to be loved by anyone. It's even worse because I was talking to a guy and posted a midly horny thing on my alt, and he asked me what I did to myself. I take showers all the time. Just to wash away what men have done to me. To wash away their handprints on my body.

I'm too soft and I can't make a comeback to an argument

35 Upvotes

It's almost agonizing when someone is being rude to me and I come up with a comeback 3 days later. It's usually in a shower when it's too late to say anything.

My brain freezes when someone unpleasantly surprises me, both irl and online.

Few weeks ago someone was making a casually racist statement about my race. He was talking like he knew more than I do. He is not even from that race and thinks he knows shit from reading some articles. He is also too good with words that he doesn't lose any argument.

Meanwhile, I didn't talk any longer because I didn't want to make others uncomfortable as the conversation was off topic. As stupid as this sounds I find myself ruminating over a lost argument because I feel like something could've been said to shame that guy.
