parents always making you feel dumb about your interests

My dad's word for most things I liked was "dopey." Kids' books, houseplants, etc. And yet he was always expressing a wish that I become a scholar and/or a "scientist." My mother could walk into a roo…

I'm a Taiwanese-American scientist running for Congress in CA-32. Another candidate called me a Chinese spy and asked a rival campaign to act on it. Here are all the receipts.

I'm a Taiwanese-American scientist running for Congress in CA-32. Another candidate called me a Chinese spy and asked a rival campaign to act on it. Here are all the receipts. — **Edit 2**: The full unedited video of the forum I attended on April 8, 2026, less than two hours after seeing the March 5-6 texts from Anna Wilding is now live on YouTube. I showed up, I did my job, …

Daily sticky thread for rants, raves, celebrations, advice and more! - March 06, 2026

But had you said it to him multiple times during that time? Or were you waiting for him to say it first? I have to admit I can't imagine going a full year without telling the person I'm dating seriou…

Potentially unpopular opinion re: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

Same story with me. I could go down a rabbit hole trying to trace and piece together the roots of the generational trauma like a mad scientist... Or I can simply just come to the conclusion that I nee…

How knowledgeable are contributors?

u/MyDogFanny gave the general answer, but since it sounds like you're also looking for specific anecdotes: I'm an earth scientist. I've been studying Stoicism and philosophy more generally in an infor…

What's a statement from your parents that sounded good back then but has aged like milk once you realized your emotional neglect?

My dad's endless "encouragement" that I could be a great "scientist" who "discovered a cure for cancer." He didn't know what in bloody hell it took to "be a scientist." He was a high school dropout. "…

Anyone else feel like they need to move to find a person to date?

Sure. I'm a medical laboratory scientist. Rural areas/small towns aren't super great for us. At all. There's usually one hospital in a given area and it's small. Stitches, broken bones, sick kids in t…

Document everything has to be the worst advice

Yes, exactly that, screenshot plus carrier logs nails it. The problem is most people don't think to pull the carrier logs until after the fact, and by then the chain of custody argument is already wea…

Shouldn't I talk to these people ?

"None of this proves to you that what you experienced was not a hallucination/ inside the brain." I guess you know would never understand until you experience it yourself. The inner knowing you get, …

I’ve done near every regular psychedelic except dmt. Should I tick it off the list?

the trip is short, and often intense enough that you don't even have a chance to think about trauma, because your thoughts are just so damn altered. There were a few trips I did process some trauma …

What made you believe in a law of attraction?

When I was young, I used to be really into Japan. I know, very childish and silly. I was just drawn to Japan for some strange reason. When I was young, I also told everyone that I would like to be a s…

You’re right that this is par for the course, and that’s exactly the problem. We’ve accepted that racism is just what happens when you run, and then we wonder why more people of color don’t run. As fo…

How do I beat Lust?

You probably don’t beat it by hating yourself harder. What keeps a lot of people stuck is not just lust, but the loop of urge → act → shame → loneliness → urge again. Then every relapse starts feelin…
