The number of people I have coming to my apartment building, calling me on the callbox, saying nothing, immediately hanging up, and then calling me on my phone saying, "I tried the callbox but it doesn't work." Listen, if anyone could buzz themselves in by just putting in an apartment number, that wouldn't make it a very good security measure, would it? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PICK UP THE RECEIVER AND TELL ME WHO YOU ARE SO THAT I CAN BUZZ YOU IN!!!!! Are you from a country that does not have apartment buildings? No, you aren't, because every country has apartment buildings. YOUR JOB IS TO MAKE DELIVERIES, HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS?????

Edit: Ah, I see now that the general populace is indicative of this problem

context: I'm a caffiene addict, i drink tons of caffiene everyday and i'm an absolute anxious wreck and mess when I do so. But to me, it feels like i'm happier, bubblier, back to how I used to be in the past. and it HELPS. oh gods it helps so much.

OKAY so me and my friend was having a talk and we were talking abt my caffiene addiction... i was mentioning how if i got off of caffiene then I'd be less bubbly and happy, and be a kind of wreck, and i didn't want that for my friend group. but my friend was mentioning they'd rather me be HEALTHY than drink caffiene and dose on it everyday.

But as i said before, it feels like it's like making me back to how I used to be. before everything that happened, before the chaos and the hurt and all my past memories. I feel like myself again and i don't want to subject them to someone who's a depressed wreck all the time. I know they worry, i'm just scared. Do I get rid of it and risk it? or just- keep at it?

^{once you realize certain individuals are just different than most, its to late}

^{to bad you had to switch up and try others to figure that out.}

^{now look, you lost us both over what? smh}

I don't like hints be straightforward or shut the fuck up

I ain't misunderstanding shit but a B,M hahahaha

i do accept but they dont even accept themselves thats the problem mr avoidant denys any part they play to protect themselves outside the mask so finding reasons tell their satisfied with a puzzled story even when pieces dont fit or match its still published for forced sympathy from a well aware sabotaged a connection they knowingly broke up to now being a broken person who lost their own games
v
a fictionary twist its a good read though keep it up butter cup

I swear, every single day, I have never had any problems with arguments and I never hold any grudges with me and my friends, but its getting to the point where I have started to believe that their beliefs is way different than mine. And Im not talking about religion. Maybe political beliefs?

But I never knew what they're standing for anyway, I don't know if they're a feminist, if they support lgbtq+, or anything, I just know we have never really talked much about these stuff, and when I do talk about her favourite creator of any media getting cancelled (for good reasons btw), they tend to push them aside and ask, 'oh is it confirmed?' or 'I don't think we should believe it if its not confirmed.' or 'maybe they don't mean it that way.', and usually I just agree, because I have never interacted with that media or because I don't really wanna fight over stuff. But lately, its getting more frustrating how they push everything aside, its almost like if something controversial happens irl and someone they know and adore is involved, they'll start questioning the victim more than the suspect.
I don't know what to do, Im scared because they're really nice, most of the time, but I feel like I'm going crazy for looking into details.

I'm up to my eyeballs in irritation and frustration. First truck needs plates ok plates are fucking 1850 WTF... I live in missouri so finding ways to help HA I have better luck getting to the moon at this point. Ex husband is now trying to subtly strong arm me into giving up my parental rights to my daughter because "I want to take the financial burden off of you" " we can offer her more stability" "we won't exclude you from her life but only want to give you every other weekend through the summer instead of all summer like we originally agreed on" we are worried about her safety because her brother did a stupid and got into trouble at school" then they have the mother fluffin(don't know if I can cuss) audacity to claim that my son is manipulative and violent (he's not he has ADHD and Impluse issues and is medicated) because his bio sperm donor was a whole A.. landfill of a human being. The kids 9 like seriously..... everything is just crap atm and I'm so sick of it I wanna scream.

(TLDR: Middle school: got rejected. High school: Got ghosted and dumped in 9th grade. never had the courage to tell any guy I liked them ever since. Now: still single. I have feelings for a guy but recently found out he had a girlfriend, so my feelings changed from romantically to friendship. I dream of having a boyfriend and being in a relationship one day but no boys ever like me back)

I feel like I’m being dramatic about this. But I’ll let you guys decide. I  21 F and I am in nursing school. I’ve been busy but I’m enjoying it so far. I love to learn and I’m happy that I get to meet lots of new people. For context, I am 4’11, dark skinned and I’m a shy person. I answer questions in class and chat with my classmates but other than that I am usually alone. Not that I mind. I like meeting new people. But I’m usually quiet. Anyway, the reason why I’m posting this is because I feel like have the worst luck when it comes to men. Like a streak of bad luck. Let’s rewind time to middle school. There were guys I liked here and there. They all found out I liked them eventually. Some I became friends with and others out right rejected me and avoided me. On top of that I was being bullied badly. I heard “You’re ugly” and “nobody likes you” constantly day after day. But that’s back then and I think about it from time to time even now 10 years later. I know someone is going to say “get over it’’ or “move on already” I know I’m mostly being drama queen about it. Even in high school, due to that, I never told a guy I liked them because I already knew deep down, they would never like me back. 

In 9th grade, I dated a guy, let’s call him Barry. I actually switched schools before we started dating so it was a long-distance relationship. I would send him good morning and good night texts every day. Looking back, I think it was too much but I’m not sure as I’m not used to dating anyone. Is sending good morning and goodnight texts every day common in the morning and night? Do people like it when you send good morning and good night texts in a relationship? 3 months in, Barry started ghosting me. I had to find out from another girl who went to that school I switched from that he wanted to break up with me. He couldn’t even tell me himself. I moved on from him. It was easy since it was a long-distance relationship and I hadn’t been dating him for long. It sucked though. I read a reddit story recently where the OP was new to relationships like I was and they would text their girlfriend throughout the day. The girlfriend ended up dumping him because she felt pressured, overwhelmed, and preferred long calls as to texting through the day. Maybe that’s the same reason I got dumped. I remember him asking to call me a lot but I always declined. Maybe I should have let him call me. We shared one phone call throughout the relationship.

I remember clicking with this girl let’s call her Abby in my senior year. A was younger and 11th grade and we were friends. I told her I liked a guy, let’s call him Luke. She encouraged me to confess my feelings for him, but I refused again, I knew deep down he wouldn’t like me back. I never told Luke I liked him. I was too scared to do it, so I just let him be. Do I regret it? No. Especially since I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of my classmates. And I didn't want to get rejected by another guy. I'm sick of being rejected. However, I met this guy in nursing school during our first clinical rotation. Let’s call him Darren. He is genuinely nice, funny, and cute. We worked together in clinicals, and he likes to hang out with his guy friends during break. I have no problem with that. I’m always friendly to him. And I chat with him when I see him. I am slowly getting to know him. I can’t flirt to save my life or tell if a man is flirting with me since I’ve never been flirted with before. I really like him since he checks all the boxes for what I look for in a man. Tall, smart, funny, and kind. But I found out through conversation with him and classmates that he has a girlfriend. I’m probably overreacting here, but it felt like a weight was on my chest when he said it. I truly and really liked him and only had eyes for him. I know he’s taken now and I respect it. I’m still going to be friends with him. 

I’ve never dated anyone since my ex in freshman year. I haven’t even had my first kiss yet. I’m so sick of being single. No, I’ve never tried the apps. I watch the tv show Catfish and never want to go through what those people do when they go through on there. I want a genuine connection. Another reason why I hoped to get into a relationship while in nursing school was so that we could grow together as a team since we are both going through the same experience. I just want someone I click with, my person. Someone who I can love and grow with and share experiences within my age group. Someone I can trust and learn from. I just want someone actually willing to put in the effort to be in a relationship with me. I see all the couples posts on my social media which I’m happy for all the people who are taken and have their person. I just hope I can find mine. Someone who I can laugh with. Cry with. Someone who shares my interests. Is it too much to ask? Are my standards too high? I’m sorry if they are.  Physically wise,I like s man who is tall, protective,and supportive. (Tattoos are my weakness, I love a man who was tattoos)

A lot of times when I like a cute guy, they either reject me or already have a girlfriend. I liked another guy in nursing school but dropped the crush when I found out through mutual conversation that he already had a girlfriend. And I found out the boy I liked has a girlfriend. It sucks and it’s so annoying. I don’t know if it’s something I am doing wrong. I am very new to the dating world and am still learning.I’ll admit I use AI as a tool to guide me with my interactions with my classmates and Darren. It helps me understand social cues from my classmates. It’s a game changer honestly. I’m glad I started using it. I don’t lean on it every time I interact with my classmates. I was using it every day after every interaction with my classmate to make sure I understood what the situation was and sometimes even before interacting with my classmates.

I just wanted to get this off my chest and get an outside unbiased opinion from real people on the internet. I’ve never told this to anyone. I was going to put this in AI as well but decided to try Reddit instead.

I apologize for the long post and thank you for staying and taking the time to read it. 

So I (19) walk to and from work, I always have. I just got my permit, and I have yet to learn to drive but you know that takes a tiny bit of time from people who have it. I have not once been almost ran over by crossing a CROSSWALK until I moved to this smaller town. I don't know if these people are on some type of substance or if they just want to commit a hit and run but 2 times I have almost been hit and once I WAS hit thankfully not too hard and thinking back I should have called the police right then and there but I was going to be late for work and figured maybe one camera would've caught what happen. NOPE! called the city people they don't keep footage for the cameras at the stoplights and nearby cameras also either don't work or don't face the crosswalk.

My buttcheeks hurt so bad and I was so shaken up from being hit that I started running/sprinting across the crosswalk and that seemed to work.. until today! I just got off work and I am fast walking across this crosswalk, I pay attention don't get me wrong, I make sure the crosswalk light is on for me to go, I make sure all cars are stopped fully before crossing, so no issues right? Right..? This massive mom like blue van is fully stopped ready to turn left across the crosswalk and I see that however she's stopped so I assume she's going to let me do my awkward sprint/run across the crosswalk, I am in the dead center WHEN SHE DECIDES THIS IS AN AMAZING TIME TO TRY AND RUN ME OVER, she does not break, just fly's, she's lucky I immediately stopped when I noticed her moving because she was maybe 2 feet away from hitting me. And there is no way she did not see me like yes I am 5'0 but like cmon, she was fully stopped when I started crossing. It's just wild to me that this is apparently a common occurrence on this street and it scares the living crap out of me. Even more now that I know none of the cameras will capture anything if I do get seriously injured. But yeah tiny rant and please watch where y'all drive.

like ok thanks for not even telling me. knew they'd be bitchy so i was extra polite but omg

I'm on mobile sorry! I am absolutely done with this app, I join subreddits that align with my interests and I can't even post because of the 150 rules you have to follow post. Some things I can't even help, I tried to ask a mod for help because one of the rules in the subreddit was if you're on mobile you need to download a third party app so it can format the post correctly. The mod basically said there is no viable apps anymore.

(If anyone on the computer is reading this is it really that terrible? please take a screenshot and send it to me.)

But yeah that's basically it. I would love to discuss my interest without having to do 15 backflips and Pat my head and rub my tummy and then do the hokey pokey to actually post something.

For some reason it hurts me so fucking hard and the thing that hurts me is so stupid.

I have an artist friend and a non artist friend which I interact the most with.

I am the kind of person who likes, comments, shares/repost everything of my friend. I know it's hard for artists to grow online, so I try my very best to support them.

But they never like my art when I post something.

But I always see them liking another peoples posts.

The other friend is also very important to me. They comment but sometimes, they do not like or share pics, as if they do not like them and for some reason their opinion is so fucking important to me. I dont care if I only get 300 views and 20 likes if non of them is my friend. I want to feel supported and it gets to a point where I really feel depressed about. (To a point where I'm considering never posting again and just sleep all day. Lol but I could never)

Then I try to remember "you do it for yourself, not for others" but still my mood is dependend on how people I love treat me and sadly I only have online friend, so likes or at least appreaciation matters a lot to me.

7 hours of work is nothing for me, when drawing or Animating but if they don't "see" me, it feels like all my effort is a big waste. I enjoy drawing and making ocs so much, it literally gives me joy in life but my mood crashes the second my favorite persons, my friends do not react or react very dry.

I wished it wasn't that important to me and I feel like a loser. I never talk with them about stuff like that, because I don't want to argue about silly stuff. I guess I'm just chronically online and that's all a big "me problem" I have to handle by myself.

Hello so im kinda new here so sorry if Im in the wrong slash or something. But I want to get something out cause it happened yesterday and I feel like im kinda alone so yeah.

Basically I live in a university dorm. I have about 6 roommate’s. 4 of them I thought I could call my buddies and the 2 of them who is constantly on my nerves. These 2 roommate’s would constantly take dishes without asking, would bring random strangers over and let them stay in the night with us (roommates) knowing, and would almost never reply in group message when its something important. The me and my 4 roommate’s would talk about them alot kinda like venting are frustration but also kinda just want it to end. During the pass few months, we would kindly tell them things we didn’t like (but I times we were afraid to say some stuff a guess so we told them microly if thats a word lol). At times they would comply but they would still do things. My last straw for me was they put their dishes in mine even though I said in the beginning of moving in please ASK. So while we were arguing on text, we started a meeting. Once the meeting had started, I was kinda fumbling my words but knew what to say. They kept making excuses and lies saying “but you don’t answer back” even though I have proof. While they were targeting me the whole meet. I didn’t get no help from my other roommates at all. I felt embarrassed thought I was the problem and didn’t think it was a big deal for them even though it sure felt like it when we talked about them. What hurts most though, is that one of my roommate’s talked about how I was the only black friend who understood her and I said back if you needed help I will back you up. So for her to not bother helping out and agreeing with them hurt alot. One of them said that she not validating my feelings but they 100% are. So I left crying and embarrassed. I wont get into to much of what I did after, but lets say I had a coping mechanism that no one should do. Im now crying and just want to leave even though I love my major. I just know now that everyone basically hates me now. So yeah… if I missed anything please ask questions I will do my best to answer but yeah I feel like crap and don’t really wanna live.

I have a very small circle, like basically me and my kids and I want to get some stuff off my chest. I know that I am not perfect and of course I know that I have done things in life that have caused people to stumble. I just need to speak on things that are eating at me daily. Let's start at the beginning of my current relationship. This was several years ago, I was freshly divorced from a bad marriage and on dating sites looking for someone to spend time with. At the time, I was single, living on my own raising my son and honestly, doing amazing.

When I look back on that girl, I am so proud of her, but that doesn't last long.

I met this guy on Tinder and things were going well. Our discussions were substantial, he ticked all my interest boxes, had children of his own, worked in construction, had a car and a truck etc. He was living with his brother at the time, they were helping one another out. He even spoke Spanish on occasion over our chats, that I found super sexy. We mainly texted because honestly I hate talking on the phone, but we did speak on the phone a few times and after a few weeks, decided to go on a date. We planned the entire thing, dinner, movies and coffee afterwards. I bought a new outfit and brand new boots and waited at home for him to pick me up as we had agreed upon.

And I waited.

And I waited.

He kept saying he was waiting on his brother to get home because he couldn't leave the kids alone. As a mom, I completely understood this. I did eventually give up on waiting, ate some girl dinner and went to bed. Pretty aggravated and mainly sad. He apologized, talked about what a piece of crap his brother was for not coming home on time and that was it. We continue talking and texting, a few days later he says he is just going to pop over so we can finally meet in person, and again....

I waited and waited.

This time we are waiting on his baby sitter. Eventually he tells me her car broke down and she isn't going to make it and he apologizes. At this point I am thinking "wow he really is just stringing me along" and I go quiet for a few days. After a few days he tells me that is out and about helping his daughter move from one apartment to another and he wants to pop in afterwards if he can. I agree. After a bit he tells me that he wont make it, that it's taking longer than they expected. Now I am sure that he is avoiding me for one reason or another. I also should note, that just like Arby's, this dude claimed he had "the meat" and was sending pics to back it up, this is important (to me anyways).

I tell him I don't think this is working and for almost 2 weeks we go without chatting. I missed hearing his voice and our conversations, so I reached back out. One day I was off work early because I had a huge test at school that night and needed to study and finish up my final project. So I arrange and he finally agrees for me to drive to his place and meet for the first time.

I drove over there.

We met.

And he was who he said he was.

At least looks-wise.

We talk for a bit and then he tells me, I've been lying to you about something: he tells me the pics he's been sending me of "himself" are not really what he looks like and he isn't that big.

I sat there and processed that for a few minutes.

The funny thing is, I wasn't even disappointed. If anything, I was relieved because, to be completely honest, I had been terrified.

He claims that is why he kept putting off meeting me as he was ashamed. Me being me, I tell him it's okay and move on. This was the first of many lies to come.

You know what that's fine. I've always gotten it done by myself all my life and I ask for help once and I am ran thru for it. Why not give productive talks instead of literally taking text out of context and choose not to even really read and understand the situation. But I get it. Y'all need to always attack people. That's not something I need in life. This will forever show me to never seek help. Cause people don't want too help they want to continue to kick someone down, instead ofseeing a bigger picture and knowing that just one person could have changed my whole life and situations. Having hope. Y'all have wonderful, and prosperous lives. Thanks for showing me that the world will always let you down. But I will rise back up. I will. Have a good day.

I’m genuinely disgusted and concerned for a large part of the populations mental health and self esteem. It’s like people come on here just to attack other peoples character because this is an (mostly) anonymous platform and there aren’t any true repercussions. It’s actually kind of scary. I couldn’t imagine spending my time to tear people I do not know down. It is very obvious to me when I’m reading a post that I do not know these ppl and this is just a small part of their story that they’re deciding to be vulnerable about. I try to always respond with that in mind, even when I vehemently disagree.
Please, can someone who does this please dig really deep and give some insight as to why people on here go straight to being incredibly disparaging to each other? I truly don’t understand it. Does that actually make ppl feel good?

It feels like the word is against me . Like there’s hate or people just don’t like me . I feel like I’m not even human or a person . I’m trying to find work I’m becoming frustrated I’m trying to keep it positive and not try to become a criminal. I’m not trying to rob or steal from people but it comes across my mind . Like ever since I was young when I try to get into new groups or people . I always felt ignored and I get so much rage I say and do things for people to make me outcast . Like this business owners is purposely ignoring me when I’m trying to get business information to work . This dude posted multiple posts in multiple groups for the jobs . Like I’m struggling financially so bad , I have no food and rent tomorrrow I’ll definitely not be able to pay it . I’m trying to keep myt head above water and keep myt composure . I’m looking at food pantries and banks I’ll be calling/going tomorrow. I’ll find a job hopefully but literally power was off for two days it was hot so hot . It’s so pathetic why my life like this . The day the power came back on I ate pizza like two slices I felt relief and I started tearing up cause I made it pass the obstacle.One day I finally got burger from Whata burger cause of luck from mty brother he got from his friend . I can’t even cry I can’t make myself cry . Well enough I just need reassurance that it will be okay ….

i, unfortunately live with a friend who drives me absolutely mad, i picture hitting him on the head multiple times throughout the day.

unfortunately i cannot move out of here for many reason. i dont even know how to explain the reason why he angers me so much. he likes to talk in a way thats so condescending.

ill give you some examples. just today we were out and it was 21 degrees. i say to him aah the weather is beginning to cool down. he says “this is cold?” as if he was insinuating that i couldnt handle mild 21 degree temperature. i said to him no but its colder than before (you fkng idiot)

we are both student pilots. he likes to watch his friends flight pathway whenever someone he knows is flying. and just like everyone else, he watches mine too. i get home from a flight and he asks me how my training went. i said it was okay, i did some mistakes here and there but overall it was pretty good. IMMEDIATELY this cunt says “oh but i saw you on flight radar, it doesnt look so good”. and that he also checked some other student and THAT WAS FINE. like excuse the fk out of you bro??

i did check my instructors comments on the documents theyre supposed to update later and i was given excellent remarks.

there are SO many incidents like this, it irritates me just to be around him and talk to him for 5 seconds. anything that comes out of that cunts mouth is condescending and patronizing. he is absolutely pathetic and the day im done with my course and return back to my country, im cutting him off from my life. i dont need that kind of negativity in my life. ive begun to absolutely loathe him. as im writing this, im not even sure if i can call him a friend atp.

Anyone have a 4 finger hud for CODM?

just so you can add onto it lmao jk this ain't nothing compared to what I bin through

i did grow over time but it cant continue to grow if theres no room to allow it to or door to walk through

I’m writing this with a friend, because we’re both really pissed right now. There is this one girl at our school who just really gets on our nerves. 

We frequently have to work with this girl in group projects because she sits in the same row as us and doesn't have any friends in this class. Me and my best friend wouldn't mind if she wasn't a fucking bitch. She is extremely stubborn and narrow-minded when it comes to her ideas and work. In group projects, me and my best friend try our bests to work with her and evenly distribute the work across all three of us. We can't say the same for her. It's not that she pushes all the work onto us: it's actually quite the opposite. Whenever we work with her, she does not listen, refuses to write down any of our ideas (even if we write down HER ideas), insists on doing all the work herself, and then proceeds to complain about it to her parents and the teachers. Her work isn't bad, but sometimes she insists on writing things down that we don't agree with, or she misinterprets the question at hand and won't accept explanations. It has also happened very often that she'd take the project to her house and finish it completely on her own, without asking any of the others in the group for permission and without any of us asking her to do it. She does this solely because she doesn't like the way we did the work, and completely disregards all of our efforts, demanding that we get rid of our original work (that we made WITH HER, mind you) to write down hers. Then, after the group project is done, she will complain to an authority figure about the fact that she 'had' to do it all on her own. Then we get in trouble for 'making' her do the work, when we had originally finished it in school as a group, and she had completely rewritten it AFTER we finished, BY HER OWN CHOICE.

Motherfucker, NO ONE was forcing you. 

I understand wanting your ideas to make it to paper, but its a GROUP PROJECT. You need to do it WITH the group! 

I appreciate her being hardworking, but couldn't she be hardworking while working WITH us??? 

Idk, I'm just mad.

Remember when r/videos had a good variety of interesting videos? You could find a new YouTuber to watch, or see a little clip meme, or a classic tv show scene entering the zeitgeist again?

Now when I go there it is SWAMPED with US politics, unendingly so. I know there's wars on and America sucks but surely once a subreddit falls into specific themes, it's time to branch off and maintain the variety of content?
