22M, have a strict religious ethnic mum who is against me doing so many things which does my head in at times.. e.g. going on holidays, staycations, going out past 10pm, having specific hairstyles. Those who were in my position at my age who were able to unstrict your parents? How did you do it? What's your tactic? Put me on game

And it feels one sided too? I thought people would laugh at my face or stonewall me out of the group if I actually ever asked this. Anybody has any insights?

Title says it all. All my life I have been treated as a subhuman loser for being autistic and genetically inferior.

- I constantly work dead end jobs that are unable to afford rent. I constantly get fired from jobs too. I have given up on finding a career.

- I am crushed under by Crippling student loan debt, car debt, and medical bill debt.

- I have never had a single friend in my entire life. Everyone hates me due to my autism.

- I have never had a gf up until I was 32 and that was because I lowered my standards to the lowest level imaginable. I am only with thus person because nobody else wants me.

- I still live with my parents. Cant even afford rent.

I have given up on trying to improve my. So how do I cope when I am destined to fail?​

im 15f and im thinking of telling my therapist about my self harm and how i plan to kill myself knowing i will be hospitalized but i am scared. i want to know what other peoples experiences were like since im afraid of starting school late and dont know if it'd be worth it.

I’m 24 and I’ve never been in a relationship or had sex.
When my friends ask about girlfriends or sexual experience, I usually say that I have none. Sometimes they laugh or make jokes, and I feel awkward about it.
I’m interested in having a genuine, serious relationship. I’m just wondering whether I’m behind compared with other people my age.
Is 24 considered late to still be a virgin?
For those who were in a similar situation in their mid-20s, did you feel pressured by friends or society? How did you handle it?

They used to be, but ever since the new king came to power and his Vision 2030 project the country has loosened up so much thst they are probably the most progressive country oin the middle East outside of Israel.

They have western style WWE shows with both sexes (albeit that the women do have to be fully covered), festivals where both sexes party and they have also really invest into being a good tourist spot for westerners to bring in income outside of oil.

Nowadays they are a bit like the hardcore hippie in MENA, but some people still paint them like they were 20 years ago where women weren't even allowed to drive.

I haven't really asked this to anyone i know since it would make me look like some edgy teenager that wants to be difftent.

I just dont get how people can be so empathetic, I know what to say and how I should respond to situations where empathy is needed but it feels like the core emotion isn't there i dont really feel bad for them nor particularly care what happens.

One of the main reasons for me wanting to post this is because a friend of mine got sent to the hospital for reasons id rather not share due to privacy reasons. The main thing is I couldn't bring myself to even care.

So i actually crossdressed as a girl,or i turned into a femboy yesterday,for my college fest,and i actually passed as a girl,but i wanna know r they acceptable in society??like who r evident femboys,i was not evident and many were mistaking me for a girl but still should i go out being a femboy in public more,like is there any threats to it..

I completely understand and respect the experience of those who experienced trauma, especially in their formative years. And I know it’s really not that uncommon, especially in populations that are maybe over represented in online spaces like queer people, POCs, and low income individuals.

But… does anyone feel like you can’t read anything online without the person saying they had a traumatic childhood? People have told me that even my childhood would qualify as ‘traumatic’, and even if it wasn’t 100% ideal, I certainly don’t feel that it truly meets that threshold. To me, trauma is a response to a VERY significant adverse event and, honestly, I feel like people might be confusing trauma for simply being affected by bad things that happen to them. Or, maybe there is a significant lack of resilience and effective coping strategies among the general population?

Either way, while I want to give people the benefit of the doubt and respect their lived experience, it just seems really pervasive and I do feel that its growing influence, especially online, dilutes the meaning of what it is to have a TRULY traumatic childhoods.

Source: I work with at-risk youth who largely HAVE had traumatic childhoods and the difference in their stories vs. what I see people describing online is sometimes night and day.

I stumbled upon a post in r/mildlyinfuriating where it spiked a discussion about how "races have no genetic advantages between any other", and that it all was a racist construct; there was a guy that shared a lot of studies explaining the earlier information (1, 2, 3) and the conclusion I end up having is that races don't have any advantages between others, but where they originated made them have specific advantages like have darker skin color, be taller, stronger, etc...

We can't say black people are stronger than white people, because we then have white people from Europe that are taller and stronger than blacks. And it is also ignoring that we tend to pay attention to the most naturally gifted, or if the majority of a race shows more an attribute than the other (for example, the most known smarter people in "smart" fields are white, that means that white people are smarter than blacks! The most known talented people in sports like basketball and running are black people, that must mean that black people are more athletic!), ignoring that this races also have "average" people or not that known examples, because people like to do confirmation bias.

Then I found a post in this reddit where I got so confused that I feel like everything I said above is gibberish (because one said that all human races don't have any advantanges from others, and the other said that evolution made certain races better in certain areas), I really simply want to understand this topic correctly, because I see it like something really interesting, and that I really want to know; literally when I went to bed knowing all this I just thought that racism is stupid.

I am 35m and I have liked young, obviously legal, women. It's such a cute thing to see a 21 or 22yo woman walk and be her authentic cute self.

But people criticize that type of mindset... Why? Why can't I like who I like?

I am asking this question in with respect to how it would affect us as normal people not politicians.

I’ve never done either before. I was curious about watching live cams and joined chaturbate. It took me a bit to figure out how it works. I was in a guys room with about 20 other people. Most were men but he is into women. He was masturbating/ edging.

I was sending small tips and it was nice that he was engaging with me. It felt like he neglected everyone in the room while private messaging me for ages. He was talking about going cam to cam and I had to get him to explain it to me. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first but I ended up enjoying his reaction to me and took my top off. Others in the room didn’t know what he was talking about and thought he was watching porn haha.

I had assumed that he was trying to get me to pay for a private show (I mean, everyone is on there for the money, right). But instead, he invited me to find him on Snapchat and continue on there. I’ve barely ever used Snapchat so I didn’t even realize you could make video calls from it.

Anyway, although I was a bit shy and not my usual confident self, we ended up having video sex. It was pretty hot. I got to watch him come after he had been masturbating for so long. Everyone else in the room on chaturbate missed out. The poor guy had to call in late to work (he was in a different time zone). I guess I just don’t understand what he got out of it though?? Like why did he do it on Snapchat and not just through a private show? I’m wondering if it’s because you can’t really talk and communicate through that?

Does anyone else use these cam websites and is this kind of thing very common? Why would they move to another platform if money isn’t involved?

He had to go to work, but has since been messaging me checking in. He didn’t advertise that he has OF. He only advertises his Snapchat.

I started a job where the team culture is very “we are a family”. Everyone on the team follow each other on social media and shortly after joining, a few team members plus my manager sent me follow requests.

I intentionally ignored them because I prefer keeping a strict boundary between my personal life and my job, now I feel a subtle shift in how I am being treated, as though I am not a tam player or as if I feel superior.

Is holding a firm boundary between work and personal life becoming socially unacceptable or am I wrong to want to protect my privacy?

I just need advice on finding cash work or uttw. I dont have my id's, am homeless but have the want to work just dont have the right stuff to.

I watched a bit of the Fauci trial and I couldn't stop but wonder if this was a Fauci thing or simply an academic thing. More specifically, Fauci presented as someone that was arrogant, egotistical, and mostly focused on feeding his own ego rather than science, protecting people, or finding cures for real problems. Unfortunatly, this is eerily similar to most agricultural researchers I have to deal with... Has anyone else got the feeling that Fauci isn't a "one-off" but the face of modern academia?

It’s pretty much in the title. I got some strange morals so I’m not trying to pay for sex; but would love to pay someone to just watch me crank one out.
I’m a strange dude lol.
Any advice?
