I (21M) have survived two decades of severe physical, emotional, and financial abuse from my Indian parents. I'm finally exhausted and need to tell my story. I am not free yet. — # TL;DR: I'm a 20-year-old only child in India who has endured severe physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse from my parents since toddlerhood. They have beaten me, medically neglected me, …

Am I Overthinking the Name? — I’m in the planning phase of starting a fashion accessories brand, mainly leather goods to begin with. I’m definitely a chronic overthinker, but I can’t seem to come up with a name that feels right. A…

Feeling conflicted, I don't know if I don't love him and I am settling or if I love him and the "cons" are avoidant deactivation? — I 33F have ve been dating this guy 32M for 8 months. He's chased me for years and eventually recently I started to feel attraction back, he figured it out and kissed me. For some months I didn't feel…

Life's expectancy for life & love — Unfortunately, I think for the rest of my time on this planet, I will carry a quiet fear. Even in the midst of real, full-blown love, I may never truly trust that one day I won’t be lied to, cheated o…

Understanding Infidelity — Last year, I (25M) broke up with my now ex girlfriend (26F). We were together for 3 years and were living together at the time, but I discovered that she was cheating on me with a coworker of hers for…

Should I cut contact completely? — Hey there! Hopefully you guys can give me some help here. There is a woman that I've been in a relationship for a year. We parted ways at the end of last year but stayed in contact, only got a real …

Are Asians really that short, or is it just a racist stereotype? — Today a post asking why white women/Asian man couples are far less common than the opposite pairing blew up on the NSQs sub. Many, MANY of the replies state that it has to do with how Asians are short…

Something about manifestation that most people get wrong (probably you do too) — There is a version of you three months from now sitting somewhere quiet, maybe with a cup of something warm, and that version of you is not excited. They are not jumping. They are not screaming into t…

Wife (29f) of 3 years has become increasingly anxious about my (29m) safety during her pregnancy. — My wife has become increasingly anxious about my safety during her pregnancy (5 months in).

How can I (20NB) bring up relationship issues to my (20F) girlfriend? — I (20-NB) have been dating my girlfriend (F20) for a little over 2 years. She has supported me through having gender issues and mental health issues, and I have supported her through family and mental…

Avoidants might seem less irritating, but they have far less chance of ever being happy. They don’t want to change. They think their partner having basic needs is “needy.” They blame the anxious partn…

This is not a competition who is far less irritating or who is more evil than the other. Its about both parties should be taking accountability. I am more than agree with you that AP’s biggest challen…

Fluctuations, yes. You're talking about the fluctuation toward 80% being the anomaly, and that the normal amount of time would be far less. And, no, there are plenty of secure people who enjoy greate…

> Question: Does Symfony block concurrent requests by design No. PHP applications run concurrently on each child process of the php-fpm interpreter, starting with a request and ending with it - unles…

I'm definitely not a philosopher by any means, but here are my thoughts. The article references previous research by Monroe & Malle (2009), where it's said that people's concept of free will consists …

I think skepticism is always warranted. But I would make the case that psychological processes like cognitive dissonance and projection are likely magnified in insecure attachers.   Plus some peopl…

Yep the world would be a better place with far less conflicts and misunderstandings if everyone could have a common understanding of what words mean! My "be with somebody" and their "be with somebody"…

Let me preface this by saying there's a lot of overlap to all these labels we give ourselves. That said based on current attachment theory I'm FA-leaning avoidant becoming more securely attached. I …

Nothing, honestly. When I found out I was DA, I changed my own behavior, which I think is healthier than expecting my wife to accommodate me. Since I changed myself, I see no more protest behavior on …

I’d say time is far less relevant that what you feel. Say it when you feel ready, and don’t feel pressured before that. To answer when the clock starts, I suspect that’s different for everyone. I’d s…

Colorado, USA - it seems to be incredibly common especially in more liberal/progressive spaces like large cities, it is also dominant in LGBTQ+ culture. Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs - the septum …

Thank you! I've been told that before about the selfie - good advice. I lack photos in general, and I've been trying to focus on that more and take more. I just took my first selfie 4-5 months ago, so…

I get where you’re coming from but it has nothing to do with the ex or the breakup. I thought about the pillow just a couple days ago because the loft was perfect and I could really use that exact sup…

Epigenetics is the biological mechanism for genetic divergence. Environments chemically modify gene expression, meaning each twin's body and brain develop differently based on unique experiences, even…

Seneca's Epistle 1: A "Historical Restoration" for Modern Practitioners (Lodge/Gummere Synthesis) **The Content:** I hear you on the translations, u/Fragrant-Point-4328. I've been working on a rest…

Far less than 1/1000. As has been said of MDMA, which is less safe than mushrooms, taking mushrooms is safer than going horse riding.

I am offering my thoughts in hopes that something somewhere might help you see things in a new light. This will be long and I will take no offense if you don't read it. >Unfortunately, I think for th…

2nd gen. Kids growing up in white dominant small cities or towns, it’s just natural because of lack of much of in your face ethnic cultural stuff and far less Asian peers, it’s just harder to integra…

I think it's because of two reasons: 1. A lot of the shifting community leans young, and young people are often naive. I think a lot of them genuinely want to help, but don't understand that repeatin…

>I have found a lot more useful info in the astral projection/OBE/gateway tapes communities. While this isn't the same thing as shifting, you can shift from it, and there's far less LOA in those commu…

If my husband accused me of this, I’d be so desperate to prove it wasn’t me that I’d do just about anything. A brain scan would be nothing. I’d be beside myself the minute you left for your parents’ a…

Well... At least you received a lesson you can heal from. There were many MANY others that would have been far less benign to deal with.

I am analyzing far less than i would have if we were together. I think this is bevause im not longer as invested as I was while together. I have given thought to some of the things we discussed when w…

Thought I replied to this, sorry. Basically I have witnessed people, including myself, do what I can only describe as overthinking. If the term didn't exist, I'd reinvent it out of the accuracy of wh…

By every  metric we live in one of the safest times times in history.  Probability wise you are far less to die in war than all of past centuries . Look up 'the Cuban missile crisis' to see how close …

Completely get it. Raised by two attorneys with the intention to be something important - an animal rights lawyer, a Senator's wife, an Olympic softball player. I applied myself, was kind and loving i…

A hysterectomy and getting your tubes tied are not the same thing at all. A hysterectomy is a pretty drastic surgery to elect for merely birth control. Tubal ligation would be the easier option. That…

I think he just figured if they clean them more often than his non-brushing won't matter. It never made sense to me though. The dentist is far less pleasant than just brushing your own damn teeth, and…

A lot of this impression comes from selection bias. The anime that travels -- fantasy, action, isekai -- tends to use ambiguous character designs and settings. The culturally specific shows like Sazae…

Well that’s upsetting. lol. Makes sense though. I dream far less when I smoke.

So men typically receive far less positive affirmation than I believe most cis women can appreciate. Not only do we struggle under the patriarchy, I feel society at large has not advanced for men wh…

My mother had all these entitled requests of things I would do at her funeral, sing...do some of the interpretive dance coordinated with sign language that I used to do as a teen at church. The past…

This bit! Dude in his thirties dating a college student who goes too slow, then too fast, just happens to be a virgin (that of course had no bearing on him wanting her in the first place…) who he’s wa…

>But yeah, everything I read online said it was pretty rare for two long term monogamous people to suddenly "open the marriage" successfully without at least one person getting badly hurt and ending u…

Embrasse this / certainly not doomed, but in my opinion is far less important than all the extra time you have for your 7 year old

We discussed it again today and he claims that he said it because I implied that no one liked him, so essentially what I had said was construed as an attack and rather than asking for clarification or…

I tried making it clear that I only have a "common sense" understanding of the philosophy, and I came here to discuss a specific phenomenon that was new and interesting to me. I don't expect myself to…

This might get shouted down, but the most important thing you can do to appeal to average straight male preferences is keep your weight down and look slim and athletic. Makeup is far less relevant tha…

C’mon dude you’re in China. Women aren’t gonna reject you just because you’re Asian. In the US, Asian men are the least matched of any race on dating apps. A Russian or black woman chose to live in Ch…

tl;dr: nourishing, balanced diet that is psychologically beneficial to me, movement that is pleasurable, SLEEP omg I need at least 7 hrs, 80-100 oz daily water, skincare (just the basics, I use a lot …

Because your mom knows EXACTLY what to say to press your buttons. As a former pregnant person- prioritise your peace first! Mom can come only sporadically and with time limit. You gotta train yourse…

Is it possible he is doing something money wise like trading or gambling that he doesn’t want you to know about? Because this sounds too similar to when I was doing something similar as a young man an…

I’m not sure what name to give it but whether doing a 25 minute seated meditation or just doing any activity during the day, whenever I notice myself thinking, I just say “I am thinking about X, and a…

It is likely he cheated. In a far less likely scenario, he had it when you got together. But due to safe sex practices, him being asymptomatic (which men are often), etc., you did not contract it un…

Even within the same language there can be huge differences in formality depending on the culture though. In Spain “usted” (formal “you”) is far less commonly used than in Latin America, and Spain has…

I am in no way minimizing the trauma this caused you, but I would have been totally into this and turned on. My point is that everyone responds to different kinks, and I would find this far less intru…

Can an adult manage 8 kids simultaneously? Yeah, they're called "teachers". Okay, now that I got that joke off my chest, this is probably less stressful than you're imagining. The kids aren't all 5 …

Aw... dont use big words you dont understand. You mean conflated... not amalgamated. While they do have similar meanings, they have different connotations... one more appropriate for your intended m…

I don't think its a waste of time and the financial risk isnt even the biggest issue. The risk to me is that pursuing your hobby as a career turns your hobby into a chore and just makes you hate yo…

I am what I believe may be termed as a borderline narcissist. Never really grandiose, but I was certainly a jerk to my wife in quite a few ways. After my wife had me served (I had no idea why) we we…
