Omg that's horrible. The articles about "yellow fever" shocked and disappointing me as well, and not just because I'm half Asian.

Very interesting point! I wonder if they want to blame someone for their failures and they convince themselves it's the Jews fault since they control Hollywood. ( just to clarify this is NOT my opinion just thinking out loud).

Not just health benefits but free counseling for the whole family if they're going through a rough tiime, marriage counseling, mental health etc. It's completely confidential so it can't be held against you. They also offer free legal advice for things like divorce, bankruptcy, you name it. The kind of work I do, I…

That's terrible.

That's awful! Did you guys sue? Sorry to hear that. My hate now grows stronger.

Wait what? I want more details on this because she does seem awful.

Your experience very much spoke to me, every aspect of it. I just started a book called "will I ever be good enough?". It's been helpful for me just to have my experience validated. My dad was the exact same way. I'm 32 and we still haven't acknowledged it.

They are! They are like people without any conscience and WAAAY stronger.

What are these potato cakes in which you speak of?

Your lasr line was great. Bravo. Haha

I think this shows how insidious rape culture is, and the absolute sense of entitlement.

I don't often comment but you compelled me to do so. I wanted to let you know you're not alone. Once I admitted to myself I had this issue, it was so difficult to seek help. Therapists often didn't take me seriously and there wasn't much literature on it. I'm much better now, and I, sending you Internet hugs.

Same here. My bf has always told me admirably that I don't take shit from anyone and I speak my mind. This is something that he really valued, and he is not a "weak" man by any means.

I'm right there with you! Like what would the small talk be beforehand? Wouldn't someone feel left out? I would inevitably start laughing inappropriate ly.

Haha I feel ya girlfriend! I sometimes put my lighter in my bra, and even that isn't very well hidden!

I mean who's to say? I decided all while ago, that I'm not that exceptional of a person, and let me explain myself. I think I'm a great person, to my friends, family and community, and to me that's what matters. I'm not going to be a CEO or cure cancer, but I still think Im pretty fucking awesome. As weird as that…

Sounds like you guys need to talk. Maybe he has no clue you feel this way? Don't worry about being a nag or upsetting him. If he cares about you, he will want to know these things. And if he is dismissive or rude, then it is time to dump the mofo.

I totally agree! I actually get disappointed when I get dismissed!

No prob! That's definitely the misconception, but it's usually for shoppers who feel lost or overwhelmed. And something I learned after working about a decade in high end retail, the truly rich usually order tons of stuff and get it shipped. Guess they're too busy doing whatever super rich people do!

The walking out gets easier when you get older and realize the choices you make now aren't LIFE OR DEATH. That's why I didn't tell you to break up, because people have to figure out this kinda stuff for themselves. I just want you to realize that you are good and special enough to be someone's priority.
