School people

7 Upvotes

i'm pretty dumb, but i've had a lot of stuff happen to me thorought my life and i consider myself someone that has above average emotional IQ, in other words, i'm mature, and OH MY GOD people with low emotional IQ are actually insufferable, going to school or anywhere in public feels like hell and i hate having to interact with these people, and to be honest, i actually feel bad for them, because i used to be one of them and my life sucked a lot, but then i matured and i stopped having to deal with the consequences of my actions, the problem is that these people are ACTUALLY like this 24/7 and i hate it so much, at school i get bullied for having long hair as a man, other boys my age tell me i have "girl hair" even though my hair doesn't even get past my shoulders and i have one of the most common hairstyles for men with my hair length, i love my hair and i'm still growing it out, but sometimes those type of phrases hurt my feelings a lot, they also like to pull on my hair to make fun of me and it's genuinely so irritating for me to have these people around me almost everyday, i started skipping school just to avoid these people and interactions like that, but when i do skip school i feel lazy and ungrateful because there's people all around the world that don't have the money to get education and i'm over here skipping school almost everyday, does anyone have tips on how to make them stop doing this type of stuff? ignoring them doesn't work, they just do it more and more until they get a reaction from me.

Discussion Apparently I dont know how to keep a chat...

4 Upvotes

I have noticed that when I DM people (who post that they want someone to dm them) most of the time we exchange like 5 messages at the best, and ofc my message is the last so I am kind of "left on seen" but on reddit. Idk, we start with Hi and the how are you stuff, then after that it just stop... i am personally interested by most of people will call "old stuff" (classical music, history, politics to some extent) but trust me I am not boring, I can have a convo with you if you want... what do people even talk about?

I have a crush, we used to talk more often a year ago, but the "talk" was just sending tiktoks to each other while having small "commentaries" on them, and that's how it ends each day. Now we talk less, a long story behind this, but anyway...

I am 18M, people might think I am a Nerd obssesed with education and stuff, but i am actually very rebellious (like in personality) i am just introvert, because again, people dont have convos with me, I actually will talk to anyone and will not leave them on seen, weither in real life or on internet, unless they are rude, but the opposite happens to me a lot...

SERIOUS i sincerely hate being a woman

3 Upvotes

(for context im 15f)
this generation especially online is continuously growing to be more misogynistic, the more i see posts about feminism and womens rights the more i genuinely despise being a woman to the point i cry at night.

its come greatly to my attention that sexism is deeply embedded into our society and will never fully vanish. the smallest of actions and words can easily be deemed as sexist, the gesture being small but the impact lifelong. since childhood girls are told that if boys hit them, they’re simply flirting and showing affection. seems harmless, right? no. this is one of the reasons men feel okay to physically harm women. the tiniest phrase said to little girls and boys at young ages easily shape who they become as they grow up, men are taught to be misogynistic and women are taught that its normal. I also believe this can be a reason why men are heavily overrepresented in sa and dv crimes (sexual assault& domestic violence/abuse).

and i will admit, i am a misandrist, righteously so, or atleast in my opinion and experience. i myself have been a victim of sa and mental abuse in an relationship, ive experienced the cruelty of men and their intentions multiple times from young. i was 12 the first time i got assaulted, by a boy i liked. it was stupid, yes, but even then boys as young as him at the time thought of women as only sex symbols. he openly asked me multiple times to do things with him, which i always refused until he forced himself upon me, i tried to push but he overpowered me and kept his hand going up. luckily from that and a few others i learnt to recognise what their true intentions are by the slight change of their tone when not being in physical contact. that being said, older men online when i was 13 also tried to pressure me into doing things for them, these men were in their 20’s, they tried to doxx and extort me, endlessly threatening me for what they wanted. ive witnessed and personally experienced a lot of men that i wasnt ever with try to do sexual things with me, whenever i rejected they always resorted to degrading and insulting me in various ways, quickly getting emotional. i have never met a truly genuine man. i dont think i ever will. ever since my first sa i have always been scared of men in public, everyday when id be walking to school or a friends house and id see a man, id immediately think the worst and run away as fast as i could, that also goes for the present. every day i live in fear of men, i watched them destroy my family and myself, i dont think ill ever be comfortable with one. but these aren’t my only reasons.

sometimes when ill be scrolling ill swipe past a reddit story or i think its quota story?? itll be from a womans account about her experience with whos usually her husband. ive seen so many stories explaining how they’d cheated on their wives while they would be carrying their child, ive also seen many where theyd rape them directly after labour, or barely help with the baby after labour. my point here is that men lack sympathy and fail to understand what pregnancy does. im 15, ive never experienced a pregnancy, but yet, its not hard to show sympathy. womens bodies are ruined after pregnancy and put through 9months of torture after. it takes a woman up to 5 years to recover from a pregnancy, but men being the creatures they are they lack the brains to understand this. many go on to stress and use their partners after and during pregnancy. men also dont always love their child unconditionally unlike women. women have maternal love, men dont, its highly unlikely for a man to love his child as much as the mother does. that’s why so many children today are without fathers and with single mothers.

men will never understand what its like to be a woman and live everyday fearing sexual assault and rape. i hate being a woman but id also hate being a man. men lack sympathy and more or less all have the same intention. im really sorry if the grammar or wording of the sentences is wrong or dont make sense this was written at night in a rush of anger. does any other girl feel like this? how do i stop??

Discussion Is this how domestic workers usually find jobs in India?

3 Upvotes

My mom works as a cook. Whenever she looks for a new job, it's almost always through agents, other cooks, apartment security, WhatsApp groups, or word of mouth.

I've noticed there isn't really one place where workers can browse multiple nearby opportunities, and they usually don't know much about an employer's past hiring history.

Is this how it works where you live too? If you've worked as a domestic worker or hired one, I'd love to hear how the process usually happens and what the biggest frustrations are.

Small Problem YouTube keeps auto-“clicking” to the next video in a playlist.

1 Upvotes

When I click on the first video of my playlist it shows that it’s playing the second when in reality it’s playing the first. In playlists like these it leads to it only playing the first video when I set the playlist on repeat.

Im not good at this stuff, I literally just made the account for this, but I really need help please, it’s really important for me that the order of my playlist stays the same as long as I’m listening to it.

This only happens when I click on the first video. I’ve tried deleting the app and redownloading, but it didn’t work.

If it helps, I’m on an iPhone 7 right now.

Discussion Has anyone found a reliable way to reduce last minute no shows at events?

1 Upvotes

One of the biggest challenges in event planning is dealing with guests who confirm attendance but never show up. Even a small number of no-shows can impact budgets, seating arrangements, food orders, and the overall experience for both hosts and attendees.

While researching different approaches, I noticed that services such as Rizz Invites focus heavily on reminder systems and RSVP management to help organizers stay connected with guests before an event. It raises an interesting question about whether proactive communication actually reduces no-show rates or if the issue is largely outside an organizer's control.

For those who regularly host events, have reminder messages, follow-up confirmations, or other strategies made a noticeable difference in attendance rates? What has worked best in your experience?

Problems with parents

I'm 13 and having problems with my parents when I try to talk to them they use the problem I'm talking about as a excuse, like when I'm trying to explain the truth they use my problem as a excuse, now I have my own room to have privacy, me and my brother used to sleep in the living room and it has a camera I didn't mind it but when me and my brother finally got a room they are going to add a camera I can't tell them that I'm uncomfortable with them putting a camera since I'm still growing and need privacy my brother also is annoyed with the cameras, they always bring up the bad things that most kids do nowadays even though we always listen to them and don't even do the same things, like they bring up those school shootings and those gangster wanna be teens, they always say they paid for everything for the room they did all the work, and they said the cameras are needed for monitoring us because we might do the same things that kids do nowadays, me and my brother are working hard at school always listening to their requests, but when I complain they always use the excuse "do you see the things kids do online? What if the same thing happens to you two?" And they always compare us to those smart kids online and always agree to those Ai stories or fake news. I just wanted to vent these issues out because my parents won't listen and always use the same excuses.i though privacy was something a child needs, they won't even put cameras on my grandpa's room even though they always tell he has mental issues even though they always take his side and in the middle of the night he brings random men. If you are currently reading this i wanaa ask, how can I prevent them putting a camera and respecting personal spaces.
