I (31M) was at the grocery store today and while I was checking out the man in front of me, probably in his 50s, got into a verbal altercation with the the person behind the register who was a tee... | Confrontation is hard, it's a difficult place to volunteer to be in the middle of someone's anger.

i feel like this is such a stupid situation.
hi, i’m a 16 year old lesbian. i have four main friends, let’s call them F1, F2 and M1, M2. (F being female and M being male)

Thank your mom later, and tell her how helpful it was. |
So I called the dental office before hand and told them I had a lip tattoo and not to mention it but if my mom does end up staying in the room to please try their best to block her from seeing it.
So the place we went to is a little office inside a drug store so I ended up telling my mom she didn’t need to come in. ... | glad it all worked out so well for you :) |
This sounds so fucking crazy. But basically my little tiny village from india (my dad's village we live in the city now) rarely has female kids. They either have passed away as new borns or ran away at a young age. Everyone believes that this because the place is cursed. I'm the only girl who crossed the age of 10 and ... | Ok so if this is for real then you might want to consider staying away from there. Right now they are all loving and worshipful to you but as soon as it becomes apparent your not sowing any blessings on them they may turn violent. Thats my serious advice.

Curious about my heritage, I submitted my DNA to two very reputable companies that asks you to basically spit into a little tube, secure it in a little zip lock bag and mail it out to them.

Okay so basically 20 minutes ago I was texting my girlfriend and she sent me one of those copypastas where it’s like a guy dancing but it’s made up of / and ( and stuff like that.

Everything's fuzzy, can't tell what's up or down, any extra breath was ... | Trauma like that can have lasting effects.
You're not *supposed* to feel any which way. What you went through was powerful. You went through the mental process of accepting death as it was potentially happening to you. Thats nothing to scoff at. Thats intense.

So, today is my 22nd birthday and no body has remembered.
I was expecting it but it's hurting a lot more than I realised. I haven't been this lonely before, really struggling in lockdown / over this year.
Not sure how to pick myself up or feel even slightly relevant to anyone.
Any advice here? | Honestly, if it weren't for Facebook I'd forget most people's birthdays. I'd probably try to spoil myself rotten today by myself, and maybe talk about it with people who're actually close to you still.

Last night my little sister texted me on her tablet. She said she was “sad and embarrassed with a mix of disgust” (her words.) I inquired why, and she replied: “i like my best friend and she’s a girl :(“

If you’re able to, I would try an see her in person or drop hints to your parents about LGBT things and see what they say (Ex: “did you know gay marriage was legalized in 2015?”) just stuff like that. If you’re not comfortable doing that, it’s okay b... |

My older sister stole my brothers motorcycle and sold it. Over 40 years ago. I never told my brother because I was afraid of my sister.

I fell into the trap -- more commonly known as the 'American Dream.' Got the good job, bought the big house, wife, kids, minivan. All of it. But everything is becoming increasingly more difficult.

Uhhh you know when you are insanely nervous or anxious through a matter (meeting a crush when you are younger, giving a speech in college or running a meeting at work) and you get that horrid feeling of "oh great, now my face is all red" and it makes you that much more nervous? And then there is always that one DICKHEA... | I have really bad social anxiety and I blush incredibly easily. Seriously, if more than a couple people have their attention on me, I turn red.

Around 7th to 9th grade, I was my school's choice for interschool quiz bees and such. I was a nerdy person back then and it made me feel special. In a bad way.
