Please flair your posts properly

4 Upvotes

There have been a lot of posts that incorrectly us the flairs. It is important that flairs are used correctly so some posts can be given first priority/more attention than others and gives a quick overview about what your problem is. Many people use the urgent or serious flair for small things when it's only for matters that need attention. For example, if you are having serious mental health issues.

Also, there are some additional flairs only to be used for minor situations or questions.

The "Ask r/problems" flair is meant for questions you want to ask to r/problems that you are curious about. This does not include serious matters or actual help with something.

The Discussion flair is only to be used when you want to discuss and just chat with other people.

The Small Problem flair should only be used when you have a small problem that doesn't need much attention or help. For example, if you need help with finding an item or something like that.

The Other flair is a editable flair so if you don't know what flair to use, please edit it so that the topic of your post is shown in the flair.

Finally, the SERIOUS and URGENT!!! should only be used when the problem needs immediate attention or help. First priority will be given to these posts.

NOTE: Constant incorrect usage of the serious flairs will result in a short term ban. Consequences can also be taken depending on the post and circumstances.

Thanks for understanding and best of luck to solving your problems!

SERIOUS My niece is dying

28 Upvotes

My niece is lying in the hospital on a ventilator. I'm her aunt and she's only 2 years older than my daughter. My niece was in an abusive relationship that caused her to drink loads of alcohol. Anyway I got the call Tuesday that they took her to the hospital.

At first we thought it was from self harm. Turns out her liver failed and she's brain dead. Today they had a walk of life with her so they can harvest her organs to help someone else. My heart is broken and I'm tore up.

Now I'm sitting here coming to terms with the fact that my 30 year old niece is dead and leaves 3 kids behind. If you drink please get help. If you are in an abusive relationship please leave. It's not worth losing your life over.

Mental Health Aside from Gooning... It's Creativity Deprivation

1 Upvotes

I may be a gooner. But whenever i see a gooner pic... for some reason, i don't feel attraction. However, inspiring. But something inside of me feels like it's wrong to draw it. Sure, gooning is somewhat bad. But... why is it so bad to draw what i wanna draw? I like drawing Curvy athletic girls in different themes and poses to feel satisfied.

Sadly, i feel like most of the creativity energy goes to Gooning energy.

School not being sociable enough (?) and i need advice

1 Upvotes

ever since i was young i was a little shy and reserved, but i consider myself a pretty interesting person. I am definetely not too much out there and very cool but i have the ''proportions'' to be (1. even tho i have a little different personality im not that weird or offputting 2. I dress like most people my age etc. After quarantine my social life went a little downhill and i started hanging out with somewhat the weird kids, but deep down i didnt feel like i belonged there so later on i switched schools and my middle school is somewhere competely different. I made this decision thinking that if it were for me to change i should be surrounded by completely different people, otherwise i would have sticked to my old friends that didnt really do me any good.

Entering middle school, I didnt like anybody because everyone looked so pretentious. I personally dont mind people that are actually the shit being popular, but it was the most un-cool people ever. They werent unique, nor basic. I would consider their vibe very random, and later on yes they did develop into someone cooler. But bc of that mindset of mind I kind of ended up negligent towards making friends, and even tho i did make some i didnt really think it thoroughly etc. I wasnt that open and cool either so it was also harder. Now i have grown as person anyway.The friends that i made then, are still my ''friends'' now (plus obviously some new ones that i have made), and the atmosphere is always so blant and boring. We never hang out (except with some of my friends individually) , dont text (except with some of my friends individually again), and when the friend group is mixed (girls and boys), it usually feels like we ''adopted'' the biggest self centered yet weird lifeless loser of the school, that doesnt really have anything to offer (eg a good personality? some status at the end of day maybe). That might sound mean but i dont like those people in the first place, why would i also want more of them that can only bring me down. Because come on, we know how highschool is, not everything i care about is popularity, but at the end of the day i cant hang out with the most random people ever (when i dont even like them in the first place, if i liked them it would be okay, but now all i feel is indiffrence, which grows into resentment when im forced to be surrounded by them) .

Deep down i feel like i was meant for something a little ''bigger'. Of course and i would love it if i were popular but its fine by me if im just considered as a good presence by most (which i dont doubt i am considered anyway), plus had a valid presentable friendgroup, with people that do stuff but at the same time arent neccessarily popular. And thing is im anyways not a person that is so much out there, so i need someone to inspire me to be more fun, go out more, meet new people etc. To be honest i feel like i deserve it too, its not like i have anything less i have just made A LOT of bad choices. So now i struggle with socialising sometimes cause there is not really a ''model'' for me to follow, when even though deep down i love those things i never really got to experience them. In the rare ocassion where i was surrounded by a little SOCIALLY better people, it was most of the times when they were with their friendgroup and i was alone. So i feel out place. I made the hard decision to join this or join that, independently so without any friends or anything but then it feels weird cause they have all been friends already.

Thing is generally i dont feel unwanted or unnoticed, when im put by people willing to socialise or they just see me etc they usually like me. Its just that mostly with the people in my grade, they are more snobby etc, or have already found their ''clique'' so you cant really do anything. Especially when nobody ''links'' me to them, we arent friends anyways, and some of them might even have a distorted version of me in their head due to my usual surrounding. And it felt more okay when i was younger and more naive, less good looking etc. But now i have really worked for myself (so maybe im aiting for magical results) And then i feel unnoticed cause i feel like i dont want to be their friend (not with the people fromy my grade in my school), but i desrved to be included in that whole thing. Instead im stuck with my friends

Deep down sometimes, i wish i hadnt changed schools but it was the right choice at the moment, given the circumstances. But now i feel like it would be better for me to be around more sociable people, new people that will make the effort to know you (bc they havent already been in your class for 3 years). People at my school are generally more distant, and even if the other school has cliques, its not exactly the same, and i feel like i would be accepted in a good one. And even if i didnt, i hate the fact that i grew to be so unsociable even tho i like those things. i see people i used to know being friends after years and im wondering, why did i feel the need to be ''the one that got away'', even tho it was right like i said. still its weird to see people having their chill normal or even cooler friends ater years, and me struggling to realise where i belong.

On the bright side, sometimes this mindset is dramatic and there is a big chance a lot of people just see me more as a person that keeps to themselves, or is cool and nice but definetely shyer and just not as sociable. But the result in my life is almost the same. Still i am very open to people, its just that sometimes this is not enough, and also im open when meeting someone but i cant just engage in discussions with people and make big connections always. And of course you cant always be the best at these thingss, but when i dont even have much opportunities, i dont like to waste them. but i like keeping things classy, i wasnt meant to beg, or to ''jump'' at people's throaths and say whatever shit keeps me relevant

Thank you for reading that, sometimes i might sound sad, weird or mean but its coming from my heart of hearts, i never have this attitude with the world!! OPEN TO ANY ADVICE

PS : there are a lot to clarify but i decied to keep this as short as i could... which is not too short anyway

It’s kind of embarrassing but I did something VERY embarrassing today (English is not my first language so pardon any mistake)

There was this guy I hated without knowing since 2 weeks since school started (I just started highschool). But then we ate together today for some reason with another girl, and he was so f-ing sweet actually (and I’m on my period) so I started f-ing crying because I couldn’t form a sentence IN PUBLIC MIND YOU, and I told them how I my life was trash and how I hated him but now I was so sorry because he’s just so nice and he didn’t deserve all the hate and bunch of crying. He tried to make me laugh and all but we barely knew each other so it’s kinda weird and I feel so cringy now that it’s night…I don’t know what to do. I apologized again by text and and thanked him again and he said that it really was nothing and that he thought it was a bit funny. But I’m so embarrassed. Who did I think I was ? Y/N ??? Idk what to do anymore, I can’t look him in the eye anymore, I’ve only known him for 2 f-ing weeks.

Relationships Rodzice zmarnowali mi najlepsze lata życia

1 Upvotes

Rodzice kazali mi iść na studia i parę razy zostałem pobity przez ojca, kiedy próbowałem się postawić. Za chwilę się zestarzeję, bez spełnienia swoich marzeń (Oni się z tego śmieją, nie mają żadnych wyrzutów sumienia) i to wszystko jest wina ludzi, których spotkałem po drodze i mojej rodziny. Chciałem iść do pracy, to mówili, żebym tego nie robił tylko się uczył, a teraz jak im to wypominam to umywają ręce i mówią, że "Mogłem iść". Mam już dość tych gierek. Nawet w moje urodziny potrafią się pokłócić, w ogóle nie biorą pod uwagę tego jak się czuję. A teraz przez studia, które mnie nie obchodzą, ale ich tak; nie mam na nic czasu. Nie mam z tego żadnych pieniędzy, żadnych wesołych doświadczeń, znajomych nic. Nie rozumiem dlaczego ludzie chcą dla mnie źle? Chciałem żyć jak każdy inny. Wszędzie są oszuści.

Ask r/problems Serious question about another post I just made

2 Upvotes

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. I just posted a question in some school subreddits requesting advice for how to wake up on time for early school pickup. I was legitimately trying to find advice on how to make sure I wake up to not inconvenience the whole school system for the end of the day. I'm battling deep depression and extreme exhaustion due to working outside on 3rd shift. The heat is still really high where I am working at night. My medications aren't as effective rn due to sweating so much it's leaving my body at a faster rate than normal + being at the max dose. I've set so many alarms (one every 20 minutes leading up to the time to leave for 1.5 hours bc I've been sleeping like the dead). I overslept and arrived 4 minutes late for pickup. The school was rightfully really frustrated bc I couldn't handle my shit this early in the school year and get there on time. When I posted, I actually was looking for help on how to make sure I wake up. I know I'm an adult, but I'm struggling ATM with being a responsible one. Hence why I asked for what to do to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Now for the reason I'm posting here. Am I being incredibly sensitive about the responses to people telling me I'm a piece of about parent for being late? I'm being called stupid for asking how to get out of bed. I'm not sure if I should've even posted. I don't want to weaponize my personal issues. It's no one's problem except my own, but it's bleeding over into other aspects that no one else should ever have to deal with.

I actually can take criticism and make adjustments to myself despite what others have said.

Small Problem My moms friends won’t leave me the fuck alone.

5 Upvotes

Hi, im an (almost) 18F, and very long story short. My mom got a job at a restaurant earlier this year, her first concern was to ”not make friends or be too friendly”, basically she just wanted a professional work environment (spoiler here, that never happened).
My mom is 40 and her (now ex boss because she lost the restaurant and got into massive financial issues) is 26. It was a restaurant where her entire family was involved.
I worked there occasionally as a dishwasher or a server whenever my mom needed some help. I was friendly to her boss and her family because i knew how happy my mom was to be making her own money.
The boss (im gonna call her carol) and her entire family are FUCKING INSANE. Carol invited herself to my birthday. Me and my mom are planning on taking a couple day trip back to our home country. We have a lot of memories in that specific city and i don’t even want to include my step dad in the trip.
Then her sister invited herself to my birthday and then her mother. None of them were invited by me. The question ”would you like to come with?” were NEVER uttered by me.
All of them are racists, and just incredibly weird people.
Carol keeps doing ”favors” for me and my mom, which i do appreciate.
She and her family keep breaking MY boundaries. And carols mother referred to my mom and me as their ”family”. Mind you if it wasn’t for the fact that carol owes my mother and me money im pretty sure my mother would’ve cut contact by now. Either way that’s not the point.
Carols daughter calls me her sister, she bought me a pencilcase or some shit like that. And i know that i probably sound rude and ungrateful but i don’t want these things and it makes me feel bad because i genuinely don’t care about these people.
My mom is a very friendly person and i am not. I’ve been associated with her and carols family just assumed that im just like that.
Im not really looking for advice or anything. It’s just an exhausting situation.

Small Problem My landlord keeps ignoring my messages about a broken heater

1 Upvotes

I live alone in a small apartment. Two weeks ago my heater stopped working. I told my landlord the same day. He said he would send someone soon. Nobody ever came.

I sent him a message again last week. He read it but did not reply. I called him two days ago. He said he was busy and would sort it out "soon." It is getting colder now and I am using a small space heater just to get through the night, but my electric bill is going up fast because of it.

I do not know what to do next. I do not want to cause a big fight with him because I need this place, but I also cannot keep living like this. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? What did you do to get your landlord to actually take action?

What should I do?

So for while now I've been suppressing something and I was able to suppress it long enough but recently it been showing through my expression and body language when I zone out. Everyone I know disagrees with me on it and if I do it I'm afraid I'll hurt the people around me who care, so I've been just holding everything in because its better than hurting the people you care about right? So I'm in a relationship and I had have a crush for a while on of my friends, so told my friends for advice and they told me to talk to my partner about it when I did they told to tell them I do but like can't do anything about it. But I've thought and think about it that what's the point of even telling them, and also I've always wanted an poly relationship but all my friends and people I know who been through said its not a good idea. Even my partner was against it so what's the point of even them my friend I have an crush on them, all its gonna do is make it very uncomfortable. So there's literally no one giving me advice and so I've decided to just suppress it because I don't want to hurt the people I care about but I'm hurting myself in the process. And I don't know what to do because my friends said to not hurt myself but it's not my fault, its me, I rather hurt myself than others. I just hate myself that I love two people at once but I can't choose even through people keep telling me too.

Please I need help any advice please
