Hay c*nts,

Just wanted to drop by and let you know that you get DOUBLE COINS TRIPLE COINS from votes during the birthgay event (for three days)! For people bad at math that means instead of getting 1 of something, you get 2 3! OMG.

anyway "#marseyjump: have a good night !metashit

I'm in love with a character I made in my head and it's making me depressed because I know I will never meet someone like him. Maybe once there could have been a chance, but it's gone now. If I can't be with someone like him or at least meet someone like him, just once, I don't want anyone at all. I've loved this character for over a decade. He's basically an "invisible" friend/boyfriend. I pretend he's here and talk to him every day. Even though I never seen him, only in my mind's eye. I wish I could see him, and hear him, and feel him there. I have a memorabilia relating to him which I keep next to me at my bed, and a plush which my dad made of him which I hug at night. I actually had a lucid dream about him last night, and I kissed him and stuff. It was the first time this happened. It still didn't feel quite real or right just because since yesterday I have felt really depressed and down and a loss of hope. Because I know I will never find someone like him, ever. Or even meet someone like him. It's impossible because of the specific traits he possesses which I am only attracted to. Other than someone like him I don't even find people attractive at all, if a guy is not like him I feel the same way towards them as I do to girls - meaning I'm not attracted to them at all. If I was with someone they'd have to have something "special" about them as in, they relate to one of my special interests in some way, like my character I'm in love with, otherwise I'm just not interested. I'm crying because I just wish he was real. Or that one day I could meet someone just like him. But I don't think that is possible now. It feels like the roses I held that once bloomed vibrant and bright, have all now withered and died.

Everyone I know knows about my character and how much I love him, it's not like it's a secret. But I would never tell a professional about this, because first they would never understand, they'd laugh and if I told them exactly why I am upset, they will ask me why it is so important to me. This character is so special to me and important to me. I just wish I could have some kind of proof I met someone just like him one day. But I know this will never happen and this is why I am crying right now.

I used to find joy in him and hope, and was trying to actively work towards my goals which would bring me closer to my dream. I found myself mirroring his admirable qualities, such as bravery, perseverence and an upbeat attitude even in bad times, finding joy in the small things and never taking things for granted. Always trying to work hard, like him. He was an endless source of inspiration for me, I would write countless stories about him and our adventures, and draw many pictures of us together. But now I don't feel like doing anything at all. I don't feel like writing any stories now or drawing pictures of him because it reminds me that I'll never meet someone like him.

The reason I'm so upset now is because I found out that no one exactly like him exists anymore. It's stupid, but it feels like he's died. And it's crushing me inside.

Does anyone else have imaginary people they are attached to?

i have been daydreaming since a kid but it got worse since the pandemic...i created this fake world, fake situations filled with fake people who have extensive backstories, personalities etc...i feel absolutely pathetic that they are essentially my only friends. They pay attention to me, support me and i have become so attached to them that they are the only source of any 'happiness' i feel. I'm nearly 20 and feel embarrassed that i have to resort to this still...if anyone has overcome this, please do share how<3

Helpful advice from other users:

I'm 30 and have had 22 years of being with someone who is essentially imaginary. You are valid OP. And learning to accept that it's okay will be healing. I learned to accept and love that part of me with my Fictional Other

Thank you Chessa, the way to heal is to double down and spend all day on fictional love subreddits ☺️🤗

Hi :) often these vivid daydreams were the only way we survived our childhood with our dignity in tact. Not trying to dx CPTSD but this is a very natural coping mechanism for a child. Imagine how hard it would be for a 4 year old to understand and accept the deep pain of being discarded by their guardian. We rely on that guardian for everything. Shelter food water. So to survive in the world where we don't feel safe but need to get our basic physical needs met - we must suffer immensely. The only escape is the daydreams because it removes from the world where we are forced to be isolated and alone.

Can tell ur a special person and this is a gift. The maladaptive part is understanding how to make your body understand it is safe to use your imagination to empower self <3

Yes, being an obsessive daydreamer because you're too much of a loser irl is a GIFT. Thanks for your advice, e-steph 🥰😘

A slightly more real (and much sadder ) collection of takes can be found here

Ive been alone for as long as i can remember. No one has ever given a darn about my existence. My presence really hasnt ever impacted anyone. I have never been loved by anyone, not even my own family.. Loneliness has really aggravated my MDD , and now this disorder is raging...but i also owe my life to it, without having the ability to daydream i would've perished. It's really sad that most of us on this subreddit conjure up people and stories in their heads to feel loved...

😔😔😔

My made up family, friends, and lover are one of the few things in my life keeping me from yeeting myself off a bridge honestly.

I understand MaDD can be toxic in how it keeps us from being apart of reality, but when reality is against you(broken family, financial instability, health issues, etc.) It really helps keeping me sane more than anything. I'm sure if I could afford medical help, and had more emotional and friendly support id be more apt to quit it.

"Made up family, friends, and lover" 😳😳😳

Has anyone else ever thought they'd do well in solitary confinement because of their MD? I mean, we'd just be labelled the "crazy person" talking to themselves, right? Technically we'd be alone, but not really.

Sweaty wth 😬😬😬

I think about this a lot. Without it, I feel like I would've gone insane (also from child abuse, seeing a pattern I dont like), but now I feel like constantly daydreaming, pacing around, making expressions and sounds as I daydream definitely doesnt make exactly make me seem sane.

This guy might be onto something, maybe the people on this subreddit are, after all, NOT sane??? 🤯🤯🤯

So they're talking about people in the past (ie our time) and one of them expresses shock that back in the day, if two dudes were in the woods alone, they wouldn't have s*x with each other. And he says that it must demonstrate that they had extreme levels of self control, and the other is like nahh, it just shows how bigoted they were against gay people. Like obviously if your in the woods you have a bro shag, that's not about extreme self control, that's just common sense. And these guys back then (ie now) hate gay people so much that they force themselves not to. Like it seems kind of evil doesn't it? Like imagine if you were black and met a racist, and even though you were in a tiny cabin in the woods he demanded that a separate door be put in so that he didn't have to use the same door as you. It's like that, a psychopathy that just goes out of its way, beyond all reason, to hurt its victim.

I think heinlein would write something like this

So, anything with black in the title is automatically considered a minority owned business? Edgar Black Sr. Started Black's BBQ in Lockhart, TX in 1931 or 1932. It's a family owned business that kinda started out of a cattle farm. (-11)

They should be forced to change the name of the store, I would try suing on grounds of false advertisement to push them in that direction.Once you win thr lawsuit, we need to shame them into changing their last name too. No room for names that propagate racism like that in this day and age. I'm disgusted (1)

AITAH for telling my husband that I'd rather have divorce than go back to being monogamous even if I want my next relationship to be monogamous

My husband and I, both mid 40's have been together for 25 years. I love him very much and our lives are intertwined. Economy, family, friends so when he told me that he still loved me but wasn't sexually attracted to me anymore (I see you as my best friend and companion) I understood where he was coming from. He didn't want to lose me but he wasn't attracted to me.

We have our house and an apartment in the city. So we agreed to open the marriage and we had some set of rules like no relationships and no fricking in my marital home. No dates, spending money on the women or taking them for vacations etc. all relationshipy things are just between us and he can meet people for casual s*x. Same for me (although it is different since men do take me to dinners and hotels but I don't pay).

This has been going on for a year and I had very difficult time in the beginning and I cried all night when I knew he was in the apartment with someone else. My best friend recommended that I download tinder and at first only talking to new people did it. With time I realized how there are so many other people out there and I started to feel attracted to men other than my husband(I didn't realize I could be turned on without love) and after some months, I started to meet guys. I slept with my first 2 months ago and we still see each other sometimes. And I have met two more.

My husband started wanting me more since he started sleeping with his gf. I don't know how to explain because logically it should have been the opposite shouldn't it (can someone explain why?) but before we opened the marriage he wanted s*x maybe a handful times a year and it increased the more he met other women and now we have s*x regularly. Like once a week.

Yesterday we were having a lazy morning in bed with Netflix and he said that he didn't want this anymore and that we should close the marriage again because we have great s*x now and he loves me and thinks that I am the sexiest and most beautiful woman he knew.

I had a panic episode tbh because I don't think he has come to a realization or anything. I feel that he likes me and wants me now because of the open marriage and not in spite of it. If we close it he will go back to being unfulfilled. I have done much research about open marriage and the goal of it is to strengthen the existing relationship and this happened to us. I said no. He was very unhappy but I said that we can divorce if this didn't work for him anymore because I have done everything in my power to save our marriage and I feel that I succeeded. I don't want to go back to when we almost lost each other.

He asked me if we got divorced and I started dating, would it be open/poly relationship? I said no. I would want a monogamous relationship so he said that I was an ah who did want to give him the same decency as my hypothetical future partner

//

Idk if this is a !foidmoment or !moidmoment but I'm leaning moidmoment since he started the whole thing

Anyways Redditors are tired off hearing these failing relationships

Wow, two people that are so far not on the same page that they are in different books. This is likely heading to divorce anyways.

Never heard of a good thing from "opening a marriage/relationship" that started monogamous. Usually it's just prolonging its death. This sounds like OPs husband wanted to have someone else, but got jealous when his wife actually starting seeing someone else.

Lol, he was cheating on her and wanted his cake at home and his side-piece at the apartment.

Yeah, spending the first night you know your partner is out with someone else sobbing in bed is not the kind of mental state you should be in for an open relationship to work, what the heck. Opening a formerly closed relationship rarely works, and in the exceedingly rare case that it does, it's because the relationship was in a good place to start with, and not lacking in anything. OP's relationship was lacking, and so her husband sought fulfillment elsewhere - it was never going to work when that's how they started out.

Totally agree, it was rough at first. But sometimes rocky starts can still lead to positive changes. They found a way to make it work and reignite their connection. Every relationship is different, and this setup seems to be what saved theirs. 🤔

Ain't no way?

>nepo baby that self doxxes on their reddit profile

Yep the exact kind of person to say some dumbass shit lmao

Y'all are both AHs. He asked for this, and is an AH. In certain respects, his wounds are self-inflicted. You refuse to admit you love the new attention and now falsely proclaim the only way to keep him interested in you (with a spark) is for you to frick other men. You're an AH too. What a mess.

Have you guys tried marriage counseling? Sounds like you don't want to keep the open marriage because you actually like being able to sleep with other men, you just like being wanted and that it's caused your husband to want you again. You can probably still have that with your husband, in a monogamous marriage if you guys put the effort you've been putting in dates into each other. If you really don't want to close the marriage though I think that's understandable. He's the one who asked for it and you reluctantly agreed, despite the initial pain it caused you. Now that you're happy with the arrangement it's not fair of him to be angry you don't want to go back. These are the consequences of his actions.

Sis this is well past counseling

So you can go on dates, but he cant? YTA 100%

I'm glad he figured out the issue so quickly lmao

Anyways there are literally thousands more comments to laugh at in the thread

First is the pic of the Jebel Irhoud fossil reconstruction. It's the earliest fossil of a Homo Sapiens found so far dating from 300 thousand years ago.

These are Homo Erectus

Smithsonian Magazine made a lof od reconstructions going back to Australopithecus.

I hope Abbott fricks over football and infuriates his rural hick supporters.

At 0:48 I feel like that guy with curly hair whipped out a gun super fast and it kinda looks like a gun in his hand also the motion he makes

Edit: and its the same guy shooting at the end of the video. streamer says its fireworks but thats not true lol

You are correct. The first shots sounded so far, I have no idea what he is shooting at, there must be dozens of people between them.

If you see any other video of shootouts like these you see mfs just start blind shooting in a general direction Frick whatever is southwest of me

Bro, what is going on with America

A shooting at a prom is already insane, but then the next guy next to the camera pulls out another gun that he just CASUALLY takes to prom... What the heck! If you are caught with a knife here you are basically already done for

what kid of prom is outside in what looks like a massive parking lot? such a strange situation, hopefully no one got hurt.

Absolutely crazy how in one single clip you can see underage drinking, nicotine vapes, and literal teenagers with straps and switches. At least the silver lining is that Dabo and his gf are in a safe location, but it's safe to say that white shirt kid has no future prospects after this ends up in the news… !boozers misia

From a little dive i just did on his channel that girl is some girl with 1M ig followers who flew in for his prom

who is this kid, he's a 2k andy, he must be big on tiktok

edit: she's friends with ice spice tf

edit2: she's a minor

edit3: drake's dad follows her

Lmao Drakes Dad following a minor is right on brand.

It's wild how these kids got guns, that kid just straight up pulls out a gun and peepees it.

Now Some drama

Schools and public places will always be open pvp until politicians stop valuing lobbyists' money over innocent lives getting caught up in these shootings. Hope they're okay.

in the US* I went to school in the UK and fricking south africa and never once felt like my life was in danger. (

Most American school students never experience or feel their life is in danger due to a gun or shooter at school. Try again. (-10 already)

I wouldn't call it far fetched to say that the vast majority have definitely been paranoid about it at least once though. It's quite a significant issue, especially when you compare the rate at which it happens in the states versus any other developed nation in the world.

It is far-fetched because the majority haven't felt their life in school was in danger due to gun violence. Ghetto schools aren't the majority, yet. Its really not that significant or prevalent of an issue it only seems like it is because of media. Like Covid for example. Blown out of proportion. Also no shit America has more guns than most any other country in the world. We already know this.

It's disingenuous to say that it's not significant or a prevalent issue when the US ranks higher than any other high income country when it comes to gun violence, 3x more than the next closest country https://www.healthdata.org/news-events/insights-blog/acting-data/gun-violence-united-states-outlier . When you're such an outlier on such a preventable cause of death; yes, the media is bound to report on little kids being murdered; which yes, will cause student populations to at times feel uneasy about their safety in a school environment. It's such a significant issue in fact, that gun violence is the leading cause of death for American children and teens: https://everytownresearch.org/graph/firearms-are-the-leading-cause-of-death-for-american-children-and-teens/ .

!chuds this will clearly help pass the anti-gun laws. good lucK!!

UPDATE

3 charged with murder in Fort Worth prom after-party shooting

https://www.fox4news.com/news/fort-worth-after-prom-shooting-arrests

https://usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2024/05/08/rage-rituals-women-screaming-woods-why/73595511007/

'As part of the retreat, Banducci held a rage ritual: a ceremony in which participants scream and beat large sticks on the ground in the woods. Participants are encouraged to think of people and experiences that have wronged them and to scream and swing the sticks for at least 20 minutes, or until they can no longer move their arms.

Banducci has led rage rituals for several years and began doing them first for herself, then for friends and, eventually, as part of her days-long retreats, which include other activities and can range in price from around $2,000 to $4,000. Her one-day version, she says, costs $222 per ticket.

Rage rituals have garnered attention on TikTok'
