They Won't Believe Me Puns

I know where he works as I have found the company for a logo on his shirt. I know he’s lied about who his family are.

I had my first emotional flashback when i was 18 years old now i'm 26, i just can't seem to be able to make myself safe enough to feel that i can trust, and expand my energy. At that first flashback i got that '' what did i do wrong this time'' feeling which is shame but i also felt guilt, rejection, abandonment which i later on realised are emotions from my childhood that were postponed to now.

So my main point is i'm still stuck in this '' i better not trust '' kind of mentality, and it's preventing me not only to trust others but myself. The thing is i would really like to trust again, i've moved away from narcissistic mother about 8 months ago into this dorm flat and i noticed i have a really hard time trusting roommates not only with who i am but who they are. It's like there's this feeling or a voice in my head that's picking up on all sorts of little bitty clues from the outside, and these clues are people can't be trusted, you aren't safe. And i'm like waiting for something from outside to tell me that i can relax, be me.. but i'm also aware that even if that were to happen, i would be dependable on that source which is still not - ME TRUSTING BECAUSE I WANT TO.
What can i do? I've been to therapy for some time, i told therapist that i have very hard time relaxing and she validated that, saying that this is absolutely normal because as she phrased '' there was something tossed at you all the time''.. It really sucks feeling like this, so inferior like everyone can trust themselves and other to be who they are, not me though :'(

They won't believe me unless this gets a strong response, so can I get some community help on this? I want to make sure I'm using the right tactics in PvP

My first and probably only post I’m gonna make on reddit, I have no idea what to do anymore.

I’ve got a lot of issues I feel like I should have therapy for— general anxiety (I get sensory overload and panic attacks often), maybe depression, and trauma from one very specific incident that I feel nobody will believe me about because of the nature of it. And I won’t blame you if you don’t believe me— I don’t even believe me either.

There was a guy I liked in school a couple of years back, and for the longest time we hung out a lot and he told me he enjoyed being with me and that he liked me too. And then after a while he would ignore me— flat out pretended that I didn’t exist— and then one day act like nothing was wrong and go back to talking to me. This happened for nearly two whole years— this shit and then a bunch of other things that I later recognised as emotional manipulation and gaslighting (I’m still very wary of using these terms because I think I’m just crazy at this point). My friends managed to find out that he was just doing this to mess with me because “he liked seeing my break” (in the words I remember at least). Not only does this make me feel like a complete idiot but also made me doubt that everyone is just out to mess with me, and I’ve thought about this every single night without fail for the past 2 years since my friends told me this.

I feel so embarrassed typing it out because it really does sound absolutely ridiculous! It just sounds like a dumb “””boy problem”””, and honestly, I feel like I deserve it, and because of that I just pass it off as overreacting or being too soft, and I’m afraid that other people I talk to about this would think the same way. But at the same time I’ve had too many sleepless nights, nightmares, and panic attacks over this for the longest time, and I’m honestly tired.

I’ve opened up to my mom and teacher before about my general anxiety stuff and not being able to do things, and I’ve just been brushed off as being “selfish”. These, and a few other factors have just turned me away from wanting to seek help even though I really really want and need it. I’ve also heard too many stories of therapists not believing their patients.

TLDR; People I’ve talked to don’t believe me about my problems, and there’s one specific event that sounds so ridiculous I know that no one will believe me, I don’t know what to do.

I'm almost 14 and have felt depressed for years now. It's been like this for so long that I can't even fully remember why I began feeling this way. My life isn't terrifically awful - sure, I'm ugly, but I have food and shelter and a computer and things of that nature. There are people who have it a lot worse. But, if anything, that just makes me feel even more bad, like I'm an asshole for being depressed. That's another reason why I'm afraid to talk about this with people, that and the titular problem. Like I said, I'm young and I'm certain no one would take me seriously if I said that I felt constantly depressed and there wasn't a day, nigh even a minute, where I did not genuinely consider killing myself.

(I'm going to space this out now because my shaky text is probably already making it hard to read.)

I imagine myself sitting in the chair next to some hick therapist who only listens because they get paid $20 dollars an hour. Where would I even begin. I said before that there are people who have it worse and that I don't have any major problems that guarantee me to live a crippling life, but I have a lot of little things. I'm unattractive, I often find myself subconsciously pointing out the flaws in everyone I meet, I get upset too easily, I have a relatively short temper, I worry about too many things that don't matter in the grand scheme of it all, I find that I can't relate to many people I'm around, and I can't for the life of me decipher why I still think that anyone in the entire fucking cosmos would ever in their right mind ever want to be in a relationship with me, etc., etc. Separated, those things don't seem to be that huge of a deal. But, when they and many other problems start piling up, that's when you get the coal slurry abomination that is my complex.

I'm going to backpedal here and make this infinitely harder to read by listing some things that trouble me. There was this one time, only a couple of months ago, where a teacher said to the class that she'd hope our lifespans would be well into a century due to medical technology. And that may be one of the scariest things I have ever heard in my (hopefully short) life. I'm 13 years old and I already feel like I have lived for way too fucking long. This shit should've been over when I was 8. The concept of living like this for another 100 years makes me wince. Or even waiting a few years, just hoping that everything will get better and then it doesn't, is just terrifying. I get the feeli

My BMI is 22 so I'm a healthy weight, and I feel like I won't be taken seriously because I'm not withering away :(

I won't forget you guys once I become a millionaire.

I was having a conversation with my friends about weigh loss earlier and while I tried to debunk their fat logic, they wouldn't listen to me because it was two against one. These are the points that they keep insisting:

• The kind of food you eat matters (e.g. friend A claims that she tried dieting before but her weight was yoyo-ing, but when she tried a mostly protein diet, she lost more weight)
• You shouldn't eat much at night because your body won't be able to process carbs after 6pm
• You need to eat a lot the entire day because your metabolism slows down when you stop eating
• Some people are really skinny because of their metabolism and ~genes~
• Genes are a huge factor in weight loss
• You need to exercise and diet to lose weight, because if you only diet, your body will reach a plateau and you will no longer lose weight
• "I can keep eating anything I want and lose weight as long as I exercise" (she claims she burns 1000cal when she boxes and does muay thai)

While I know that you need to chose your food to be healthy, but if you only want to lose weight, all you need to do is count your calories and not overeat. It was incredibly frustrating to talk to them because they got angry when I said that genes are what fat people use as an excuse to lose weight. They're both a little overweight and I really want to help them lose the excess pounds but I just wish they'd listen to me.

Anyway, they said they'll believe me if I provide scientific journals/studies to support my claim. I'm in the midst of collecting research but if you guys have any sources to disprove their fat logic, it would be helpful!

Was putting women up on scaffolds ever an actual practice? Does he mean it metaphorically? Or is it just a nonsense verse?

I have a light fever, I feel queasy, and I have been shitting on the toilet for like 2 hours. I almost shat myself cause I thought it was a fart. I think I should call in but I’m afraid they’ll accuse me of lying. I don’t really sound sick.

Not everywhere takes contactless, especially over £30. Good logic there Barclays. Not only do you not support more open standards such as Android Pay but you also wish to restrict access to my money entirely through your app that only works about 40% of the time.

At least your online banking is better than Nationwide's. That looks like it's from the Internet Explorer 6 days.

I [M21] started to really realize that I was bi at 18, but there were definitely signs before then. Part of the reason it took that long was because I am predominantly attracted to women, but I eventually realized that not “everyone is a little bi” as I’d always assumed.

I’ve sometimes thought about telling my family, but I know if I do they won’t even believe me, which is in its own way worse than them rejecting me for it. My sister once told my brother and I that she didn’t believe girls could really be lesbians because “that’s not how girls feel attraction” (as though the very definition of lesbian didn’t imply that they don’t feel attraction in a different way than most girls). My brother and I argued against her on that occassion, but some time later we were talking again and my brother noted that - while he was with me on the lesbian thing - he didn’t believe guys could be bi.

I could have perhaps pulled a trump card there, but considering the fact that I’m mostly heterosexual, I know that they would have just discredited my experience and told me I was really straight. My brother’s comment in particular was hurtful because I thought he out of anyone would understand.

Being mostly straight, it’s a pretty easy thing not to act on the small part of me that isn’t and hide it, so I may never tell them. I do have friends who I’m out to, many of whom are bi themselves, so I do have community and support on this, but I wish my siblings could accept that my experience in life may not fit their preconceived notions.
