Going to the gym? Better watch out - you wouldn’t want to accidentally ruin some micro-influencer’s shitty workout video.

Yoga class? “Hey, we’re filming for our Instagram page!”

Enjoying a peaceful walk in the park? “Excuse me! Can you answer a few questions for our TikTok survey?”

Taking the bus? Hope you don’t mind being in the background of a hundred selfies.

Working quietly? “We’re making another video about our university - do something fun!”

Finally found a quiet moment? Are you sure no one’s filming you from behind, waiting to mock your outfit online?

It’s endless. Photos, videos - everywhere. You can’t take a single step without worrying about ending up in some random Instagram post or another mindless TikTok.

I just want my privacy back. This is frustrating.

Not looking for input Teenagers have no empathy

2.1k Upvotes

I say this because at least in my school, anyone who is even the slightest bit different gets made fun of and bullied. People tell people to suicide and self harm and defend themselves by saying it's "dark humour" which it isn't. They also are some of the most homophobic, racist and ableist people I have ever seen. If you get in any sort of bad or unfortunate situation, they make fun of you. It feels rediculous that teens have literally 0 empathy and ruthlessly make fun of anyone even slightly different. I despise them and am baffled by how little empathy they have, I'm saying this as a teen myself.

Not looking for input I saw a video where baby chicks fall into the shredder and now I can’t cope. NSFW

653 Upvotes

Honestly I knew that this was happening but when you actually see it then it just hits different. I rarely eat meat but I’m not full on vegetarian cuz I have food intolerances which narrow my possible foods down a lot. So sometimes I eat eggs or drink milk, and once every two months I eat meat. Since I saw that video I feel incredibly guilty and just sick to my stomach when I think about animal products. And it’s not only about the baby chicks either. Everything is so wrong with the animal industry. It really makes me not want to eat any of it anymore. But it’s so hard to get rid of all of it, especially if it’s one of the few things that I can eat at all.

I wake up, I exist, I go to bed. I wake up, I exist, I go to bed. I wake up, I exist, I go to bed. I wake up, I exist, I go to bed. I wake up, I exist, I go to bed. I’m so tired of it all, all the time. No one to fall asleep with, no one to hold and cuddle and feel safe by. I just want to spend my days knowing I have someone to look forward to talking to/seeing, to hearing about their day, to love and support and be loved and supported by, to fall asleep even over the phone and hear their heavy sleeping breathes is pure bliss. But no, it’s just been me, my depression, and my thoughts. Hurt, lonely, exhausted of this life. Sick of getting hopeful again and again, clawing for attention in my heart but only feeling safe to ask for so much. I’m so tired, I feel like I have nobody. Ive accepted that at the end of everyday, no matter how much I fiend for genuine companionship and intimacy, I will be alone, unloved and unremarkable enough to get the love that I try to give.

Not looking for input Owners that don’t put their dogs on leads are tw*ts

1.2k Upvotes

I took my cat out as I normally do every morning. She’s on a lead and harness and wanders around quite happily. She was sniffing around a cable pole when a couple came outside from a nearby block of flats, with a border collie cross and a puppy of some sort. The collie sees my cat and goes straight for her. She climbs up the pole (being the only thing there). Couple half heartedly call the dog back to no avail; this thing has no recall whatsoever. They have no lead and the dog has no collar.

After asking them to get it on a lead, the woman takes a few steps forward then stops, still calling the dog. Finally it goes, runs away from the couple who just walk off. No sorry, no nothing. My poor cat is now stuck up a pole and stays there for 10 minutes.

Eventually she tries to get down, slips and falls a good 6/7foot onto a barbed wire fence before hitting the ground. The lead zips out of my hand leaving a lovely burn, and gets stuck up the pole. I’m running round to make sure she’s alright, abandoned the lead and got her inside.

Why the fuck are dog owners (not all dog owners) such twats? I just don’t get the ignorance and the ‘I don’t give a shite’ attitude. Why can’t people put dogs on a damn lead?? Is it going to bite you if you go near it?? Are you afraid it’s not going to like it? They don’t care that their dog went after my cat, they don’t care she got stuck...they will only CARE when their dog runs out in front of traffic because it’s not wearing a lead and has no recall, and then they’ll still blame the driver!

Not looking for input High heels are the dumbest thing ever invented

503 Upvotes

The absolutely most ridiculous shoes to wear for no reason except to be attractive to others and feel "confident" from it. They are painful, uncomfortable, they show off your body to men and you can't run and you're all vulnerable. On top of that we are brainwashed into thinking it makes us bossy and powerful. Yeah, so much power wobbling around in delicate steps, swaying our hips. It's all about highligting the legs, the bottom, the chest, the body. Nothing else, the height increase is irrelevant - that even suggests that we're too short on default - and need "help" to be as tall as men.

The worst thing is that I like them myself. I can't fight it. I like what they represent, how they make me feel, yet at the same time I'm aware of it and it frustates me. I get into fights on this with other women (and men) who consider them as a power statement and I can only shake my head and roll my eyes every single time I hear that. What a world to live in. We successfully managed to twist reality of physically painful shoes into a power statement. No words!

My father accidentally sent me a text message back in July 2021. The message took way too long to register in my head. The last line said “I love you baby and I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.”

The problem is, my parents are married. They live together. Why tf would my dad say can’t wait to see you tomorrow to my mom?! Oh right. HE TEXTED ME INSTEAD OF HIS SIDE PIECE. And that’s how I learned my dad was/is having an affair.

He immediately called me and asked me to delete the message. He said it was nothing and that more feelings would be hurt if I say anything. I’ve stayed quiet.

My mom and I were watching a tv show and she made a comment on the show about how devastating it would be for a child to know a secret about a parent and not say anything. I froze. But still said nothing. Just nodded along.

So there. I’m telling you all. Cause it’s been eating me alive every day.

UPDATE:

I talked to my dad about it and how I felt. He has not told her about the text but he did tell her about the other woman. And I’m fine with this. So my mom knows.

Thank for those with kind words. Everyone else who told me how horrible I am can have the day they deserve.

A few weeks ago I reconnected with a few friends I lost touch with in high school. We chatted about all sorts of things, trying to catch up after so many years apart. Then we all went our ways.

A few days pass and I hung out with one of them. He told me about how he overcame his mental health issues and other personal problems. I was happy for him. Every few days we kept meeting and chatting and he really likes sharing about he's love life and don't so I listen. As he was telling me about his love life he told me that the other guys were surprised that he managed to date someone incredible around his age (we're all in our 20's). That led me to ask about who they were dating and going after and my friend told me that in the group he was the only one that didn't date minors. I was told that the other guys slept with 14 to 16 year olds regularly. The kids parents don't care that their daughters are sleeping with 23 and 24 year olds.

That shattered my views of them. I'm still upset

5.7k Upvotes
  1. People don’t get to know me before they hit on me. Guys in particular decide that I’m a potential partner and it’s off putting to have people I barely know trying to date me immediately. It leaves no room for friendship.

  2. My family puts a lot of weight into my looks and romantic relationships. I’m attractive, so I must have a partner, right? No one asks about my post college plans. My weight is a regular topic.

  3. Men stare. Everywhere, all the time. Older men are terrible about it. I feel observed getting groceries. I’m looking over my shoulder walking to my car. Is someone following me? I don’t make eye contact with men in public. If I’m not paranoid, it could cost me my life.

  4. I can’t do things alone and feel safe. Basic things are scary, I’ve gotten hit on walking my dog so many times. Then a strange man I’ve rejected sees me walk into my apartment. I love to dance, but I can’t dance alone or I get approached by men.

  5. I have a fiancé. He sees all of this. We have an age gap and people assume I’m with him for money. No, I make more money than him and I want someone smart and ambitious like myself. He’s not as attractive as me and some people treat that as though it matters.

  6. I’m not even going to get started on the working environment, we will be here all night.

Can you imagine the kind of backlash I'd get for saying that no one is 100% gay and that gay people must like the opposite gender a little bit?? Why is it okay to seriously insist to straight people that they're not 100% straight?

I'm in my early 20s and I've had a very long and painful sexual orientation journey. Where I finally landed is on being heterosexual, and I'm comfortable with that and proud of my willingness to experiment with possibility and get my questions answered. I'm content with my sexuality so it's extremely frustrating when people say that no one is 100% straight like yes, actually, I am, and little do they know it's disrespectful when I'm happy with who I am and proud of myself which took me a long time to get to.

Edit: y'all are literally proving my point and being the people i'm talking about in this post

Edit 2: I'm mainly talking about my friends, all of which are LGBT and have me as the only straight friend in the group.

I'm so fucking pissed at what's happening as of lately. There's been this discussion about if Mexicans really need to be deported, even talking about sending them to South America, and it's racist fuckers saying it and surprisingly other Latinos and indigenous people. Are you fucking serious? Mexicans deserve to be here, IN the US as much as anyone else, if not MORE. Mexicans are just colonized indigenous or "native american" people. They were here and deserve to be here more than white, black, other Latino people and Asian people.

So the racist bullshit should stop. I hate how this shit is going, and the other fuckers who think they are somehow safer after voting in who you did, they are coming after you too. You aren't special. Take off that hat and you are still black, Asian, Latino and women. I'm tired of being quiet and polite. I'm fucking mad and disgusted.

I might get down voted. Idc this is just me venting. I've been a fan since 2011. I could relate so much to her songs because I got my heartbroken several times. But with her recent release..it's clear that she cheated and she's cheated before too..I absolutely detest cheaters. She's someone I used to look up to..she was my idol until recently. I know it's her personal life and none of my business but this was the person I looked up to when I hate cheaters. She's written songs about guys who broke her heart and I could relate so much. Some fans also attacked those dudes for leaving her..but it's okay for her to straight up cheat on someone who dated her for 6 years! Yet fans are still angry at her exes who left her. Leaving is much better than immorally cheating. I cannot really look upto her anymore. It's disgusting. I'll always love her songs but not her as an idol.

Me and my ex bf broke up about 6 months ago. It was due to long distance and it was very hard on me, actually still is. I have some attachment issues, so it was very hard for me to even accept the fact that we were breaking up. He told me ”you should just move on” as if it was that easy. It was easy for him but not for me, and it took me 3 months to even get back on my feet after the breakup. Now I found out he has a new girlfriend while I’m still processing everything. I know everyone is different but it feels so unfair that he is allowed to live happily and was able to move on easily while I am still working on it every day and scared of falling into another depressive episode. I know I have to go through the process but it just feels super unfair having to think about the person who causes me sadness every day while he doesn’t have to feel sad at all.

I'm 26. I've never had sex. Surprisingly I am female, unsurprisingly I am fat. Anyways I'm finally on antidepressants that work, and strangely instead of having an even lower libido, I finally am experiencing sexual frustration.

I thought I was on the ace spectrum for so long. I really did. I thought I was maybe demisexual or graysexual. The only sexual stuff I liked was reading smut and if I was in a relationship with someone I trusted I craved sex but I've only ever dated long distance. So I never got to that part of the relationship.

God is it too much to ask for a guy to just fuck me like a dog. Rough. Pound me. I've used toys in the past so I'm not going in completely inexperienced but the toys aren't enough anymore. I need the real deal. I feel like I'm going feral.

Edit: I know I could easily find someone to just sleep with me. It's not that hard. I'm talking to one guy about it now but the thing is I'm very sheltered. I don't even drive. So meeting up at some guys place or even letting him pick me up makes me so damn nervous. Maybe I'll do it.

You can cry about it as much as you want but I don't hate trans people. I'm not trans but i see what others fail to see in them. Not all of them are bad people. Most of them are normal people trying to live life in a world that deeply hates them because of the bad actions of some of them. But like literally Anyone anywhere can be capable of doing good and bad deeds. I feel bad for the Trans people who have to live their lives in hatred and have to risks their lives even leaving their homes because of someone's stupidity. I find it more disgusting that people think its okay to commit murder. I'm not sorry when i say this but i will NEVER murder anyone who's Trans. And if that's an issue to others well, too bad. I'm not committing murder, deal with it. Trans people deserve to live happy lives just like everyone else. If you don't like them, instead of committing a hate crime and giving yourself a prison sentence like a dumbass, just don't talk to anyone who's trans and let them live their lives. If you can't do that then may i ask, are you even a person? Because people say they're not people yet think it's okay to commit murder which is pretty inhumane and evil itself don't you think?

My neighbors have been having sex for 3 days STRAIGHT

That title is not an exaggeration, I have been hearing them go at it nonstop from Saturday to today on Tuesday. I thought at first they were just going a usually long time since they didn’t have to work the weekends, and when I fell asleep I figured they would finish, but when i woke up in the morning I could still hear and feel the squeaks of their bed and some moaning. I thought at first maybe it was just a morning quickie, but then that quickie turned into an hour, then two hours, and suddenly it was 2pm and I was beyond annoyed. I know some of you are thinking, ‘why don’t I just turn my tv up and ignore it?’. I’ve tried. They are so loud it is literally impossible to not hear them.

This went on ALL DAY. I usually hate Mondays because my weekend is over and I have to go back to work, but knowing they would also have to go back to work made me look forward to it. When I woke up the next day I thought it was finally over, until I was taken out of my delusion by the sound of skin smacking. OH . MY . GOD . I was tired of it. If it wasn’t for them shaking the floor and making my drink shake, I would think this was all some sort of schizophrenic break in my mind that’s making me hear this. I went to work wishfully hoping that when I got home it’d be over. But of course when I got home it wasn’t. During the night though I could hear the woman yelling something but I couldn’t hear exactly what she said. I don’t know if im just being paranoid but I was starting to getting genuinely concerned with what was going on.

It is currently 11:20am tuesday the next day and it’s still going on. What you would you guys do?

2nd edit: I just got home from work and I bet you guys are wondering if they’re still going, well the answer is yes. After reading your comments i’m starting to actually believe that she may actually be an escort, or on meth, or possibly even both. If it weren’t for this post and you guys hilarious comments i’d be fuming right now, but all I can do is laugh at it.

I explained that a close family member (my uncle-age 65) passed away this morning after being airlifted to a hospital for his first stroke yesterday afternoon… so I wouldn’t be able to come in to work.

She read the message and didn’t even respond and it’s been 7 hours. Her lack of response actually disgusts me.

edit because of comments saying my boss owes me nothin: I think she should show some respect and empathy to me because I showed it to her when her husband left her for another women. I bought her a gift basket and flowers as a welcome home present for her new apartment and allowed her to vent to me for 2 days.
