Re: Flameful confession
I don't relate to others my age either.
Usually 10+ years older and we're good.
Very few around my age can understand what it's like to be young but have the need and ability to act like an adult.

Sorry I'm at worry and nesting from my phone.
Its a combination Of that and me feeling better about the situation by being the bigger person. I did cut my parents out for a year of my life and I was miserable. I don't expect anyone to understand. I put myself out there so I have to accept people judging me for it. I just hope people realized I'm doing what's best to make the situation ok for myself and people need to stop and think about the fact that they have probably done something they didn't want to do at one point in their lives.
I feel that way about another person on the board. I rarely read her posts and frequently side eye any comment made by her.
Name names, woman. It's a flameful

Agreed! Names!
I feel like I've been super whiny recently, with all the sh!t that's gone down but I'm pulling myself out of that. I let that situation go on for too long and got myself out. I'm sad that it's over, and I miss the person I fell in love with, but that's not him anymore. Time to move on and make myself happy.
I'm only 23 so I'm pretty young and I hope I don't come off like a stupid high schooler. I hate bitches like that. I used to work with girls who were in their 30's and they were constantly stabbing each other in the back and stealing each others boyfriends. And they were always pissed about something. Always, even dumb stuff. I don't get that, it's far too much drama for me.
I'm glad I've been around more recently, and I feel like I'm starting to know some of you ladies a little better. I'd like to go to a gtg one day, but there are people I don't really care to ever meet. But I think I'd still go even if I didn't care for most of the people, just so I could say I met SOMEONE from the board!
I agree with PP, this is a flameful.
I want to hear names of the people you don't think you'd like to meet IRL and why.
Well hell. You already named names and I was behind...
This thread is long! I'm impressed!
Also I'm really craving cheese, and sleep. Neither of which I really get to have... My nights sound similar to Ala's, in that I spend more time laying in my bed than sleeping. I also wish I were a snail...
I feel like that's fitting, because I see you being a very badass snail.
BIL usually does it when H is not in the room. Otherwise, I'm told (by everyone in the family, not just H), "That's just how he is. Don't take it personally." But it is personal because a) he shouldn't be calling people stupid and fat at 22 years old, b) he doesn't act like that with anyone else outside of the family, just me.
Food addiction is really the worst. I'm getting better about noticing my triggers and avoiding them, but I don't catch it every time.
What do you mean? I do a lot of volunteer work at a local animal shelter, so I'm off and on here during my reception shifts, but I do a lot of the evening/night shifts because people with kids (understandably) don't want to fill them in. I'm also training my dog to be a therapy dog, so I work with him a couple hours every day.

OMG! I literally loled. Thanks for that!
I hated my wedding dress. It was one of those "you get what you pay for" moments, but I paid for a few alterations, and they completely messed it all up. It didn't fit right, the red sash was attached at the sides and had to be wrapped around (rather than making a separate sash piece, like I asked), which is REALLY noticeable in pics. Ugh.
And this is precisely why I haven't mentioned my age. I feel I should be judged on my own (immature, ignorant, etc) thoughts/opinions without having the "you don't know what you're talking about because you're SO young" card thrown at me.
You're so pretty! And I love your dress! Sorry your pics didn't turn out great.
(Sorry, saw this late)
Oh, I'm not judging you at all. I was just curious, because your way of coping is so different than mine. Believe me, I completely understand doing what's best for you in order to be happy, even if that goes against what other people think you should do.
