If I had kids, I would take them seriously. Just because they’re kids doesn’t mean they don’t know how they feel or what they need.

Ich war so beeindruckt, dass man in dem Alter noch Joggen geht.
Schade.
It may not be possible to avoid trauma, but it’s absolutely possible to teach people about safe and less safe coping mechanisms for their trauma. This one is decidedly less safe.


Wtf they should be writing this stuff into the sky and spamming the net with ads for it.
My sincerest thank you for the post. Maybe Me-Time for women in the future won’t mean “I finally got time to do the Kegels” …


It is to a certain degree. You don’t bring your love for milk shakes to your “business attire only” office job. You may love Hentai, but you’re not telling the person next to you during an opera visit. These are aspects of you that don’t match the occasion, so you skip that. Most people do this naturally, they don’t spend much thought on it.
Then there’s “masking” as used by neurodivergent people. That’s an entirely different matter. More info an that is over at neurodivergentinsights.


You’re not dangerous, so no you’d not be locked up. What you need is decent boundaries, not a response.
You’re entirely separate from your mom. It’s unlikely that there’s a chip, so the question is how you can enforce that separation in a sustainable (for you) way. A simple “I don’t agree” would probably help you feel less submissive without giving her grounds for more debate.
Guilt is a part of depression, it’s built right into how you stay passive and sad. But you’re not guilty, you’re just struggling and that is - ask anyone except maybe your mom - really just part of the human condition. 90% of western adults have a depressive episode at least once in their life (stats by a therapist I used to go to), so you’re in good company.
In addition ask yourself this: If you had kids, would you think they owed you in return for your support? As a parent it’s something I feel you opt into when you decide to make babies. You don’t just pop them out and then make demands for the years you had to change diapers or drive them to school.
What your mom thinks or not ultimately hasn’t more or less value than your own thoughts and opinions. Let it go and focus on you and how you can limit your exposure to her opinions.


Hey friend, this has your email, name and picture in the images. You wanna set this to private.
Best of luck in your search!


Ich glaube es lohnt sich durchaus, den Artikel bis zum Ende zu lesen. Es erscheint hier ein wenig, als sei das vielleicht nicht passiert.
It looks to me like they’re trying to make the best out of a bad situation. There’s more tariff now on EU goods, but it may keep the US involved in Ukraine while the concessions made on the EU side aren’t massive in the grand scheme of things.
At the same time this deal says to everyone who’s looking “We try, despite our differences”, which makes it rather difficult to paint the EU as the bad guy if he reconsiders.
At the end of the day what the EU wants to be internationally is a reliable partner. That’s what trust is built on.


Unterwäsche und Kleidung vergesse ich quasi nie.
No, we do actually appreciate when people speak good German, we just know it’s an absolute pain and want to be nice.
I get teary eyed, but I rarely cry. “The penguin of my life” was my last big challenge, so mean. Great movie though.
And yes, at some point you really want Red to have his little piece of heaven.
I think I am more open for this since I’m older (40s), when I was young I would’ve never let myself be that open.


Ich bin freiwillig in der GKV, weil ich gesehen habe, wie Leute sich verrenken, um vor dem Ruhestand noch schnell wieder in die GK zu wechseln. Das kann aus meiner Sicht nicht sein und ist das, was unser System überfordert. Eine Versicherung für alle, vielleicht mit optionalem Zusatz (Chefarzt, Einzelzimmer, Zahnzusatz, Brillen, … ) wäre insgesamt funktionaler und günstiger, ohne dabei diese irre 2-Klassen-Medizin zu erzeugen, wie sie aktuell besteht (Hautarzttermine, super Sache in der GKV).
Eine Angleichung der Beitragsbemessungsgrenze ist ein Schritt, wenn auch nur ein kleiner.


I think I’d like myself as another person, but am still properly critical of myself as me.
Absolutely is. Had a colleague who also looks like a sad puppy when just looking normal/serious.
Hmm vielleicht bin das nur ich, aber da ich immer auch mindestens einen Freund hatte, der gern mal Röcke trug, war das für mich nie ein Thema. Wenn du dir das Teil über den Arm hängst, muss es schon ziemlich girly Farben haben, damit es als Frauending auffällt.
Aber jetzt mal ganz doof: Scheiß drauf, du stehst da mit den Klamotten, die dir gefallen! Meine Mutter musste noch um ihre Jeans kämpfen und ich erinnere mich an Jobs, die ohne Heels als Frau nicht gingen. Du bist mit deinem Rock Teil der allerbesten Tradition!


This is beautiful. Thank you.


Quit school (college level, but where I am it’s just another part of school) when I could (I had the right age to make it my business), without ever discussing the matter. Just came home and said I quit school.
Edit: Oh damn you wanted a reason. School was hell for me, I hated everything about it. I had spent about 6 months exclusively doing the classes I was interested in and nobody even took notice. I figured they weren’t gonna kick me out at that point, so I quit.
Wir hatten einen Roborock, der war wirklich gut, bis er nur noch Fehler warf (~1 Jahr). Wir haben dann geben ein Ecovacs-Gerät getauscht, das signifikant schlechter putzt, will es ewig die Mop-Findet verliert, aber trotzdem Stiftung-Warentest-Sieger war. Da es aber keine Fehler wirft, sondern zumindest versucht zu putzen, bleibt es erstmal da.
