A confession thread + random thoughts threads + advice thread. Maybe change the subject

I had fandom friends I thought were the best ever, but looking back they were actually pretty shitty friends a lot of the time. Which puts a damper on some memories. :/

Haha, same here. :/

I believed in Santa until I was eleven.

... no idea why I chose this particular thing to admit, but there you go.

That's about how old I was too.

Wow, how did you guys keep from getting spoilered? Or did you hear the spoilers but just not believe them?

For me I think inwardly I really did know, but I also just figured people stopped believing as they got older. If that makes any sense?

AYRT. It makes sense - I was much younger, but I remember my dad asking quick! quick! did we see Santa outside, and OF COURSE we all did, because none of us would admit to missing him. And I saw my mom smirking over at my dad, and my wee little brain figured out something was not right.

I don't recall experiencing any disillusionment that I sometimes hear from older kids who find out; I just suddenly knew it was my parents.

That being said, I was always told not to wreck the secret for other kids, but there was always some smug little kid who wanted to yell "Santa's not real - it's your parents" any time it came up at school. So I wondered what it was like to find out later.

AYRT

I think I just refused to believe them, or I doubted sometimes but it seemed too incredible to me that my parents would get me all that stuff, some about the cookies and milk. I was also pretty gullible.

I've never even so much as kissed anyone, and yet I lie about how sexually experienced I am whenever sex comes up in a conversation so I can take part in it.

Are you me?

I really try to give of an air of sexual experience when sex comes up, though I usually keep it quite vague and rarely outright state anything in case anyone ever catches me lying about it, haha

I just don't feel as engaged with fandom as I used to and it's making me really really sad. I feel like I've forgotten how. :/

Yeeah. I feel this way too, anon and it's really getting me down. Sigh. :(

I had the stupidest pregnancy scare ever a couple of weeks ago.

It's stupid as I'm a virgin, but I had drank too much one night over at my friend's place during a small "party" (Just me, my friend, her boyfriend and her boyfriend's friend) and I had a blackout. So when my period was two-three weeks late (which it never is) I was so certain something had happened at that party and was so prepared to confront my friend about it, and how sad it would be if I lost her over something like this.

I also spent a lot of time telling myself how stupid this all was and simultaneously thinking about whether or not to keep the 'baby' and really just preparing for everything. I was about two days away from buying a pregnancy test before finally getting my period. I'm glad the 'this is so silly' part of my brain won out 'til then, as that saved me some money that would've gone to waste for a pee-stick (though that would've saved me some stress!)

so many hugs, Nonnie. so glad nothing awful happened to you while blacked out.

I am a married woman who is on birth control and I still get freaked out that I am pregnant from time to time. I have single-handledly kept EPT on the market over the years. LOL

Ditto me, married forever, two kids. Despite how much time and effort it took me to get pregnant the two times I knew I was pregnant, I still worried every now and again that I was pregnant if I was a little late, until earlier this year.

What happened earlier this year?

/curious

(tell me to fuck off if too intrusive)

Oh, no problem. I had an endometrial ablation because my periods had been too heavy for almost a year and I was getting too short on actual blood. I had discharge and blood for about 4 or so weeks after but since then, no periods at all, and my PMS symptoms are mild. I don't even get cramps anymore. :)

I read that the procedure makes some women sterile so the chances of me getting preggers again is nil. I'm okay with that. :)

I'm so glad your symptoms improved. yay!

Not to burst your bubble, but you can still get "your period" even when you're pregnant. It's known as spotting, and yes, it can be exactly as heavy/long as normal menses. If you're worried, get the test.

I really want to quit my job. My supervisor put in her 2-week notice today. I always felt like I'd quit before she did. She gets along with everyone and has a much better attitude towards this place. I'm stuck in a dead-end position no one else wants.

However, I don't have another job lined up, or any prospects. I'm looking, trying harder. Also, I want to put my efforts towards freelance writing. And writing YA fantasy. And various other artistic pursuits. I'd meet the world halfway and work part time for a little income if I could spend the other 20 hours/week making art.

I know I won't make a living that way. But guess what, I'm not making a living now. And I'm a stressed-out, self-loathing wreck for it. I want a break. Then I want to focus on making things better.

The only thing I stand to lose is my insurance, which helps pay for counseling, (in which I was advised, re: this situation, to do what I think is best), and possibly a roof over my head. But I can't go on like this.

What do, F!S?

I am amazed at how the human heart works. There is this co-worker who was my indirect supervisor of mine for 3 years. Now we just deal with each other mostly through email. We've always seemed to be compatible with each other emotionally and sexually. We've never went there but there's a lot of heavy flirting within our work emails and he appears to meet me emotionally in nearly every situation. Similar backgrounds and he gets my humor and totally matches it, and I trust him not to be a dick or to take advantage of me. Yet.......as much as I'd hit it, as much as I admire and respect the fuck out of him as a man and a co-worker, I'm not emotionally attached to him in the slightest, and when he looks at me, there's no connection between us. And I think that's the reason I'm able to be so open and honest with him.

And then there's this other man. He seems to have feelings for me but there are also times when he's a champ at keeping me at arm's length. He's never been even a little inappropriate with me, and even though there's the "alone time" we have where we walk and talk and laugh so easily, where he seems to search me out, he gives me so much less than the other guy, emotionally speaking. And we have some epic awkward silences because I don't think we know how to talk to each other. But he's the one I'm emotionally caught up in.

I just wonder...why? Why this one guy and not the one I'd actually have a shot at a long term relationship with?

What the hell is wrong with my brain????

It's probably the thrill of unpredictability and mystery with the second guy that keeps you around. He has moments of connection and then distance which probably keeps things interesting for you in this period of your life. His distance also creates an elusive nature, which can peak someone's curiosity. There also might be the thrill of chase going on for you, since he's not offering any relationship up so freely.

There's not really much to go on with this guy though. It could be that he likes to take things slow. Or he could be not that interested in a deeper relationship. But that's probably what adds the element of intrigue and guided attention to him from you.

You kind of already explained your reasons for the former guy. It's also probably due to waiting for so long. After a while, things become comfortable in not having a relationship

But I'm kind of talking out of my ass right now. I don't know you or how you feel. Buuut, this is what a lot of people feel when dealing with this sort of relationships.
