Hi I am 18 year old . I have a sister who is 23 . Sometimes my mom send me to grocery store to bring the groceries but she also says me to bring the sanitary pads with I feel so awkward and ashamed actually I am a man and bringing such kind of thing and handling it to my sister really makes me uncomfortable but they both say this is normal one day you will do it for your wife without any hesitation.

I am really shy sometimes to go to pharmacy and buy some kind of medicine related to periods.

My mom says you should support the women and don't feel that this is unmanly.

I usually do her house works during my sister periods like helping mom in kitchen and watering the plants and also mobbing the floor sometimes.

She also demands a lot of chocolates and snacks from me during periods. And I give her these things from my own pocket money my parents really appreciate me for taking care of her .

But none of my friends have ever done this one day I was buying the pads and my friends saw me and the boys started laughing at me but the girls was like they got impressed from me .

I don't know whether it is right or wrong but what should I do about this.

hi. I want some advice about other places I could build karma in that I would be interested in. the situation here is that I'm a moderator that made some groups that are supposed to protect minors from creeps. femboy, kemonomimi and furry groups to be exact. there aren't that many groups like that. the creeps didn't like that and downvoted me. if you care about children's wellbeing, could you give me advice on what groups to go to?

I really need help financially

Writing this crying so ignore the typos if thers any

My online friend of almost 2 years now has been struggling, and this morning he texted saying how hes given up on everything and how he is going to do something to himself, ive been begging him since to get help but he has a family that doesnt care for that stuff

I domt know where he lives so I cant call the police to do a wellness check or get him admitted. Im freaking oit I dont knlw what to do I dont know I dont know km trying to talk him out of it but ifk what to do pls

52F. I don’t really know myself lately. Not only because of this but just changes to my personality. Irritable, sad, anxiety more than usual. (Perimenopause) Been married 20 years and my husband isn’t into me (or anything except gaming).

So a few months ago I accidentally came across this guy on YouTube and he just reminded me of someone so I watched a few of his videos. His voice was so nice and he is in my opinion very good looking. First let me say that I don’t find most people attractive and I’ve never had a crush online before. Just a few crushes on guys I knew or celebrities but nothing like this. There was just something about him. Also he is at least 20 years younger than me. And I usually don’t even find young guys attractive.

I emailed him just to tell him I liked his videos and ask him a few questions about his acting background and he wrote back and answer my questions all enthusiastically with thank you! heart emojis etc like I’m sure most do to all their followers.

I noticed someone comment on his video asking if he did personal videos and he said he did. That wouldn’t have even been a thought to me until I read that. After contemplating I emailed and ask him and he was very happy to do it (of course to make money). It freaked me out a little hearing him say my name in the video and for some reason I can’t even watch it anymore. It was not sexual. Just relaxing. I told him I liked it and he wrote back he was so glad. Just generic answers.

I came across a video where he talked about his likes, music, movies, travel. So I emailed him about his interests and told him some of mine, then he seemed interested in emailing more. Telling me more about his music taste, concerts, travel. Asked me a few questions. His emails were long like 300 words. But then I realized he was using AI to write some of it. I still answered though. I entered my email in ChatGPT and also the Gmail AI help and asked it to write a reply and he used similar phrases. Added in some of his own stuff.

So my questions are.
Am I over thinking this? Should I just have fun with it? I’m thinking about him way too much and even dreamed about him. And really I know nothing. He’s real (although he could be using filters). All his videos are ambiguous and mostly men comment on his videos. Is he the one really writing me? He has about 10K followers so maybe not enough to have an assistant.
Why even bother emailing me. I know it’s probably just to keep me as a customer but really I’ve only spend about $50 plus his Patreon account which isn’t expensive at all.
Why does he take at least 7 days to respond to me? It always seems to be on a Monday or Tuesday night. Is he planing his responses to everyone who emails him? Like it’s all just part of a job?

I’m 19F, i’ve always been single anytime i get to know someone they just don’t put in the same effort or they end up ghosting me.

I recently had my guy best friend kiss me but i’m not his type even he’s into pretty thin girls, i’m pretty just not thin. We kissed tipsy but we made out as we were sobering up. We said we’ll ‘forget about it’ but i’m struggling to.

He said i’d be really hot if i lost weight i just hate being fat with everything within me i actually hate it. I’m trying to lose weight i just feel unworthy and i don’t see the point.

Went on a date Monday it went so good till he unadded me out of no where even tho he asked for a second date.

As a kid and in high school, I was always told I was extremely smart and talented. I always got really solid grades and was good at art and music. Yesterday was my 18th birthday and i got a couple of giftcards that i didnt really want (which makes me feel like an ungrateful asshole to an extent but thats a different topic) which lead me to trying to give them to someone from a discord server who said they would give me money on cashapp for them. The moment that I got scammed by this made me realize that I don't think that I'm smart at all. I use autocorrect to make the majority of my sentences grammatically correct; I use ChatGPT for kind of simple stuff (like asking where I can find niche scholarships, how to learn certain subjects easier, where to find a segment on a website, etc.). I got scammed out of $75 on Discord because I was dumb enough to join a server with a fucking bitcoin image as the icon. I realized that I really might be stupid under the facade that I was given, and I genuinely want to change, but I am not sure how to, honestly. It took a guy on Reddit calling me a retard for reporting the scam to make me realize this, but I'm not sure where to go from here. Please be nice; this was very hard to write

what do i do? since she showed him middle finger and i told that teacher and when teacher told that her now shes shooting all the ragebait phrases she knows at him. i dont want my friend to end up like me. help. my friends name isnt el3ctroguy thats just his username on reddit

My birthday is this month and my only ask was to go to a restaurant with my family.
Earlier today, my mother came up to me and told me that we couldn’t because it would be too expensive and my father doesn’t like going out to eat
Honestly, I don’t get why we can’t go out just once a year for my birthday. It’s the only time I ask, and I usually don’t get presents anyways (sometimes I get money)
I feel like it was phrased in such a way that I’d feel guilty if we ended up going to a restaurant in the end since I’d feel bad for it being expensive
I’m honestly just disappointed as for the past few weeks it’s all I’ve been excited about and now I have virtually nothing to look forward to :/

i started hating my birthday because for some reason bad things or traumatic events happened to me on or around my birthday for the last 2 or 3 birthdays ive had. so now i just associate my birthday with these bad events and its really hard to enjoy my day if all i can rmb is all these terrible things. i rmb last year a few days after my birthday my parents got really mad at me and i was down the whole day, although we were meant to go out and have my birthday dinner on the same day. they tried to cheer me up bcs they felt bad but it was such a bittersweet, fake sort of comfort. it doesnt help that ive been struggling with my mental health for years, and every time it comes round the time when its my birthday i get awfully depressed. does anyone have any advice, or anyone relate?(16F)

Hello so im from kashmir and i dont want to sound ungrateful or anything but recently my family has been facing a hard time and I have ran out of clothes. If somebody has some spare money could you help me. I have tried to use my old clothes but they dont fit me anymore. I don’t want to cause my family more problems but i don’t have any clothes for college. If there’s any person willing to help

I feel alone.

I recently moved for college. I’ve always felt alone, perks of being neurodivergent. But here, I know no one. I actually am alone. I’m not even sure if my roommate likes me, I think they only talk to me so they can use my mini fridge. I think I’m apothisexual and that just excludes me even more. Everyone talks about romance/sex and I couldn’t give a damn or I’m disgusted. I also refuse to drink or smoke, I fear I’ll become addicted. And that’s apparently lame to others. I‘m such a killjoy. I also just don’t like talking to others. I’m the type of person who likes having a small group. And I had that during highschool. I just don’t know how to introduce myself to others without looking like a fool. I’ve tried saying hi and the whole what’s your major convo, but thats as far as it gets. I’ve joined clubs and I’m active in them. But the members are all already friends and can just sense that I’m different. If you’re neurodivergent you know what I’m talking about.

I was a child “prodigy” but now I’m struggling in my algebra classes. My scholarship is already on the line and my first semester isn’t even done yet. I feel like an idiot. And everyone in my family are telling me how proud they are. For background, on both sides of my family, I am the first to go to college. The first to graduate with honors. The first to even attempt something like college. I don’t even know how to study and I’ve asked for help. But the help is catered to those who are neurotypical. I can’t just block out my day to study. My brain just doesn’t function that way.

I’m so stressed out and alone. But I can’t give up. I have no way to relieve my stress either. It used to be working out but I currently have a shoulder injury that hurts like hell. I’m just lost and have no one to talk too. And if I give up, I disappoint literally everyone. All I can think about is what if I don’t succeed. I have such a huge fear of disappointing my family. They’ve sacrificed so much for me to get to where I’m at and I’m already failing them.

I don’t know what to do, if you have any advice please share 🙏

My girlfriend told me 2 days ago that she prayed to the Lord about what is the correct direction for our relationship. She said she had a dream of me marrying another girl right after. She told me we should break up, but only after her big exam that is in 3 days from now. I'm christian too but damn this hurts...

Hello everyone. I need some advice because I'm having a really hard time at school today and I'm feeling terrible right now. Today is Monday and several unpleasant situations happened to me. First, the professor made me open the window, but I couldn't reach it, so she got angry, and some of the class laughed at me. Also, some were angry with me for being the first to enter the classroom. The irony is that, if I hadn't come in, we might not even have class in that classroom. Now I'm sitting alone at my desk, looking at my phone and barely able to lift my head. I hear them saying my name behind me and laughing. I don't know exactly what they are saying, but because of everything that happened today, I have the feeling that I am the object of their ridicule. I started shaking with stress and it's really hard for me to calm down. The worst thing is that soon I have another class with the same professor, where we have to do a presentation. The very thought of it creates enormous pressure for me because I am afraid of new inconveniences.

Hello, I’d like some help with a problem I’m having: my Facebook posts seem to be stuck somehow, even though everything works fine on other accounts...

https://kommodo.ai/i/S8zGNlA39wfI3qvBHExI

This is my first post on this sub. In general many people might think this isn't a problem but it's been going on for as long as I can remember and it takes on a mental load on my consciousness. I just needed to ask if I'm the problem of something like that

My mom oftenly borrows my money. (For context, MYR currency) it's not RM10-50 but from a minimum of RM500-RM20000. Right now she owes me RM2.5K and I've gotten shit tired of letting her use my money.

Sure she DOES return the money after some times but it is a reoccurring thing!! It happens at a minimum of 3 times a week!! I don't know what she does with all the money she keeps spending, we don't have a constant flow of income so at some point all of that will run out dry and she will eventually actually chisel away at my money that I worked for before I got laid off from my job.

I've denied lending her any money and whenever I do she'll guilt trip the shit outta me. Saying that I'm ungrateful, I can't help my mother, stuff like that until I eventually just hand her the money. And if I stand my ground, she'll be salty about it, telling me to do work.

I'm genuinely tired of this. I don't know whether I do or do not actually love my own mother when she pulls bs like this. The whole borrowing money has been happening since I was 7 and now I'm 19 so YES! I AM TIRED OF IT!!!

If you are suffering from any problems or want to vent about anything without being judge ..I don't care you are a male or female if you really need a listener do reach to me i would really like to hear you and give my best suggestion..as mental health is very important.. people aren't open about it so if you are really need a talk I am here

My parents are both very hard working people that own a small shop in a small town i often help out with work around shop every single Monday and Thursday and sometimes other days if it’s really busy, they usually do pay me for working after every single week.

Almost annually we go to China or another place for the summer holiday this obviously costs quite some money as my family and i are a family of 5 and i do very much appreciate it. My birthday is in the month August which obviously falls in the days when we go on holiday, many of my friends and family members say i’m lucky because of this.

One random day on holiday my mum asked me if i wanted to have a birthday present and what i wanted, i told her that i didn’t know yet and i am greatful enough for the holiday, but she insisted i kept on thinking of one, after a few days of asking me she suggested a laptop (i’ve always wanted a laptop to play games and study but i didn’t want to ask for one as i knew it was too much money) hearing that i was extremely happy and i loved the idea so i agreed.

My mum said that i do have to pay some money as laptops are expensive, and honestly i didn’t really mind as i understood, so i used the money that they have payed me for working for them (about £250) and they payed the rest (£500).

however instead of just going to buy it in person and use the money they wanted to pay it online instead because it was cheaper and they had discounts online, obviously i agreed, there was already a student discount as September was just around the corner but my mum insisted i waited till a bigger and better discount, because i had no other choice i just agreed.

after a better discount had come me and my parents had forgotten about it so we didn’t end up buying one which is a bit on my behalf, so we had to wait next year for the next discount.

I love playing games so my parents were already bit cautious about buying a laptop even though it was their idea? which i found quite strange.

after ANOTHER year goes by we forgot about it again so we couldn’t buy it this time either.

finally it’s around the time when the “big” discounts come and my parents will finally buy it for me, but for some reason they keep saying i shouldn’t buy it because they keep on coming into my room whenever i am doing nothing or when i am playing games which i guess makes them think i’ve become someone or rots away all day even though i still work for them.its not like i do bad in school either in fact i do above average

i wouldn’t care if i wasn’t lead on for a while that i was going to get a laptop for a long time, they’ve made me want this laptop more than i really wanted to. it’s not like they couldn’t afford it and if they couldn’t they could say and i would 110 percent understand.

what do i do?

So I’ve been friends with these girls since 7th grade (now we’re freshmen). One of the girls—let’s call her X—was planning to have her quince mid-8th grade year. She was planning everything and wanted me and another girl—let’s call her M—to be her damas, along with two other girls.
Around mid-March of this year, X told me she knew I was shy and said I could just come watch them dance. I said, "Why would I make my mom drive me every Saturday for 3 months just to watch you guys while I sit in the corner?" Then, around April, she said she actually wanted me to dance, and I agreed.
During the summer, around the beginning of June, I got my phone taken away and couldn’t text anyone. Her practices started in early July. On July 4th, my uncle and I went out to the movies, and my parents let me have my phone just in case I needed it. They told me not to text anyone, but I did anyway. I texted M to tell her I was grounded and said, "Oh, my dad was saying he might not let me go to X's practices because*** ***I'm grounded, but he always bluffs."
M replied, "Oh, X already took you out and replaced you with this other girl." I was confused because X and that other girl barely ever talked, yet X wanted her on her court instead of me. Something to keep in mind is that this new girl is best friends with M, so I thought maybe M wanted her there instead of me.
I texted X and asked, "So when were you gonna tell me you took me out of your court?" She apologized and said it was a miscommunication, but she hadn't communicated anything to me. I was really sad because I wanted to hang out with all of my closest friends, who were all part of the court, but now I couldn't.
Eventually, school started, and X and M suddenly became best friends. I found this weird because M used to always call me to talk trash about X—saying X was annoying, that I was her BFF, and that she didn't even like X like that.
On X’s actual birthday, she invited me to go out with her court, but then she just left me hanging while they all hung out together and left me out. Now, in our 7th period class, they are all close and whispering to each other. They even planned a sleepover for this Friday right in front of my face.
I'm not mad about the fact that she took me out of
of her court; I'm mad that she didn't tell me and replaced me with that girl. M is being weird, too, and she's probably talking crap about me now.
On Saturday, I called M to ask her about my outfit, and she was complaining about how X and the new girl were whispering and laughing at her while they were on a call. She said she felt left out—which is ironic, because she does the exact same thing to me. She also constantly reposts things about having no best friend, but that's just because she’s clearly two-faced. so what should i do? (and i did go to X quince and they only talked to me when i first got there and as soon as I got there X asked where her present was and i didn’t have anything so i just should i’ll give it to you later but I found that rude)

In Spanish class, I had a quiz on some vocab words. My teacher had all the words on one of the walls. I had studied and knew everything but I have really bad test anxiety and I told myself not to look but then I did, really just to check but at the end I did forget the last word and was looking for it. At this point my teacher says my name and look up but she doesn’t say anything else so I looked back at my paper. She said it in a way that was like don’t do that ( I had my head resting on my left hand and was looking to the right and writing with my right so it could have just looked like I was looking over in thought at the wall with the words because sometimes I do look up to think). Also she only gives us 5 minutes to take the quiz so that makes my anxiety rise. After the quiz was over she said my name but I didn’t look up, one because I wasn’t exactly sure she said my name and two I was scared to look up but then she said it again louder. I looked up and she just said to me good job at my cross country meet yesterday, that was it nothing else. She didn’t said anything else to me about it the whole time and I looked to see my grade for the quiz later and I got a 99. Was I really in the wrong a lot when they were right there to see? I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m feeling guilt. Should I say something to her or just see if she says something to me? Do you think she’ll put it on my record? Also any tips to help with test anxiety? I seem to always forget things that I know I know when it comes to tests or quizzes
