Ever feel like you're life's punching bag? Like, no matter how hard you try or nice you are, there's always someone there to knock you down or hold past transgressions against you? And the second you stand up for yourself you're apparently an asshole who can't keep his/her anger in check?

My dad apparently thinks the morning on the drive to work is a great time to bring up something that happened yesterday that wasn't even directed towards him, and instead of talking to me about it the day of or being upfront with me about it, he just throws out accusations and then acts shocked when I get defensive? I've done a lot of growing up in the past 3 years and I don't think he realizes that yet. I am not who I used to be but I'm also not going to let him or anyone disrespect me when I did nothing wrong.

I swear I just can't win sometimes.

Peoples opinions of us often lag our actions by a year or two.
There's a saying I like that goes like this: "You can't talk yourself out of a reputation that you behaved yourself into"

It's no good talking about how we have changed, we have to show people.
I have especially found this true and even more to be the case if my words or actions have hurt someone, unintentional or otherwise.

For clarification mom does not have Cvoid but from I have been told today she at the upper floor and no one is wearing a fucking mask and the nurses won’t say anything about it so if my mom do gets it because of those dumb ass then I am going to have a few words with their administrations.

Long story short mom is feeling better they were going to send her home but they find something wrong with her blood today that doesn’t sound good at all.

Went to the doctors to get prescription cream for my sunburn, after explaining I went swimming alone and did put sunscreen on except parts of my back I can’t reach....he tells me to wear sunscreen.

1. I’m not a contortionist and only a beginner at Yoga

2. The damage is already done!

Can we as a society eliminate the phrase "you can't miss it" because either I'm a hard-r or people are just full of shit. Never have I heard that phrase and found the spot easily.

My aunt admitted herself into a psych ward. My uncle is in jail for a domestic dispute. And now I'm wondering if my aunt could have set him up, all things considered. He has a temper but it's very much ooc for him to get physical with her. She claimed that he punched her in the face but yet my mom saw no visible marks whatsoever.

Meanwhile my 14 year old cousin is blaming herself. It's a shitty situation and im not sure who to believe or what to do.

You know what really grinds my gears?

When people know you have depression and insist you aren't yourself when you are actually having a good day. There is absolutely zero wrong with me this week past being really busy. On Tuesday and Weds I did over a million dollars in purchase orders each, yesterday wasn't far behind so I'm a bit busy.
Maybe I'm not as loquacious as usual, but that tends to happen when YOU ARE BUSY!!!!

My boss types to me this morning:

'I've noticed you haven't been yourself.'

I haven't?

'Let me know if you need to talk. You know I'm here...I can feel the difference.'

She can?

First of all, how can she tell the difference? We are working from home still and usually communicate via email or inter office chat. We all know tone is not always transmitted properly via text. So I tell her that I'm okay and that I appreciate her reaching out, then she calls me to make sure. I'M FUCKING BUSY LADY!!! So then I ask if she's okay because I figured maybe this is her way of reaching out. She insists she is fine, but is worried about me. Why? I'm FINE!!! At least I was until this conversation!!!

I appreciate her reaching out to me and letting me know she is there for me, but I do not appreciate being told how I'm feeling cause I 100% feel A-Ok this week. I even asked my mom and she said I am good and usually she's the first one who can tell when I'm 'off' since we live together.

I have a couple of friends who do this to me too. I get it. They were there in my dark times and continue to be there and I appreciate them, but a) just because I haven't text you doesn't mean I am in a world of darkness. I could just be busy, so maybe just ask that or hey text me first. maybe I'll respond, maybe I won't. Roll the dice. b) if I cry or get angry please don't ask me if I took my pill. I'm allowed to feel emotions. I SHOULD feel emotions. For months I felt nothing so yay, emotions are a big win!

Anybody else had this happen to them?

I think Wife accuses me of treating her like this from time to time. Honestly I think it just speaks to how ill equipped people are to discuss emotions and mental health. They've been taboo and stigmatized for so long, I think no one really has a robust tool set or mind frame on average to approach things well. And then you layer on top of those inabilities things like projecting one's own feelings or mental state onto others, insecurities around overreaching/getting to intimate, etc. I think the whole thing just more often than not devolves into a dumb mess that's better handled comparatively through simple avoidance.

How did I ever like snow as a kid?

Unbury the car every morning.

Salt everywhere.

And the floors at work look like shit from people dragging it in from their carts and shoes. And cleaning it is pointless because obviously.

At least they contract it out to be salted and plowed.

This is how a narcissistic woman in power covertly accuses you of not falling at her feet in the worship that she feels she is due.
Rather than realise she is needy, she is putting it back on you, which is text book gas lighting.

In Canada it's the middle of winter and a bloody pandemic, does she think each day should start with a musical number and a rose ceremony?

Here we go again mom is back in the hospital and they are keeping her again her white blood count so high she told me she passed out and the ambulance have to get her they do
believe the meds she is taking might be too high.

I went to see my doctor and told me My vitamin D is low so I’m more stress out right now which is not helping me either .

She doesn’t have Cvoid so there is that they move her back to the Er because her blood pressure was low and then later today she call me and tell me she is fine and they put her in the icu just to keep an eye on her I just visit her they only allow one visitor in the icu because I have to drop some of her things and she in good spirit

Glad to hear she's hanging in there pduh. You hang in there too.

People that use the term “chef’s kiss” when describing something over text need a dragon suplex on the outside.

Hey, wait... Doesn't Baker-man and/or Big Pete do this? If so, I can't abide by this comment.

Wrestling simply needs more dragon suplexes.

I think Fergus Ferguson should start using a dragon suplex as his finisher and dub it "The Kingmaker".

How are you going to win an election if you can't even win a match!?

I expect the President of a Kingdom to know how to politick well enough that certain jobs don't work for him, brother.

I think we're realizing that politics isn't a win and loss game. I mean just because you have the most votes doesn't mean you necessarily win the election...

Anything more annoying than bringing a pizza home and you have to redo the cutting because they only scratched the surface with the wheel?

My best friend died.  She called me and her sister last week and said if anything happened to her that it was the abusive asshole that we lived with that did it to her and to get her kid away from him.  I think she had COVID and the guy was refusing to let her go to a hospital or doctor.  Her sister thinks she was poisoned.  Police refuse to investigate.  I fucking hate Georgia.

Sounds like the GOP's America to me.

It sadly is. So pissed off right now. The whole story is really fucked up and I keep hearing more and more about what happened when I left the house last year. Taking me every ounce of will not to go down and cripple the fucker so he can live a long and miserable life.

That's tragic c, I am really sorry to hear it.

Just reiterates to me how important it is that I be a good Dad to my daughters and teach them to expect to be respected.

One of my wife's friends narrowly avoided being the victim of a murder suicide with her kids. Last minute the bloke decided to just off himself instead.

Things a grim. Talking to my friends sister she called three of us last week and said she thought something was going to happen to her and to not let her daughter stay with her dad. She could be melodramatic so no one took it seriously.

Wonderdad dumped the kid at the neighbors house the night her mom died and spend the night alone in the house without her. My friend's stepmom and sister are likely lawyering up and going to fight for custody. Somewhere in the Flordia courts is a paper revoking the father parental rights for abandoning his daughter for 10 years.

Monday about half a dozen of us are calling the police and child services. Kid had her cell phone taken away and is not allowed to speak to anyone from her family. Her stepmom was able to talk with her but it was on speakerphone with him listening and that was only after she called the police.

Fucking nightmare of a situation. After I do the interviews with the police and child service I am out. Love the kid to death, but shit I can do now. I doubt the police or child services will do anything since it is rural Georgia and he can lie his ass off.

Just had a bad argument with my longtime friend earlier tonight and kicked him out of my apt, the one I play music with...

Things you don't do to Rad:

1.) Tell me I'm not a man.
2.) Raise your voice at my girlfriend and I in my own damn place.

He's been denying Covid for months and was trying to argue on Trump's behalf but it was the constantly talking over, not listening and belittling me that actually did it.

Feeling down because I let him get the better of me to some extent. I've been making great strides with my anger recently but I couldn't take it anymore; I'm not going to be disrespected like that.

I'm sorry for your loss c, always here if you need to message someone and get anything off your chest.

I hope that POS rots in jail for eternity or worse.

Likely nothing will happen. But the kid is almost 14 now. In four years she will leave and never return. Likely sooner as her family will be suing for custody. He will have gotten to experience having the family he always wanted, then losing it.

Mom just went to the er again I swear to god the doctors here is a fucking joke
