The people comparing the corona related social restrictions to being Jewish during WW2 deserve to spend a week in a recreation of Auschwitz. I cannot fathom the lack of empathy one must have to be able to speak the words "This is what the Jewish went through during the German occupation!" and feel justified.

I’m a public health nurse and I have a lot of knowledge on this pandemic and the vaccines!! I’m serious when I tell y that NOBODY wants to put poison in your body!! It’s a safe prevention and has been in the works for decades! I got it and I trust it enough that all 4 of my children got it!! The nonsense that is coming from people with no knowledge base or expertise to be able to do any kind of research is astounding. They’re unaware of what research in-tales, and I just don’t get what they are doing. It’s the most unintelligible thing I’ve ever been a part of. Weird

I’m fed up with everything being so hard
Hard getting support to look after my youngest daughter who’s autistic
Hard to get help for my oldest daughter’s mental health issues
Hard to balance helping my oldest and youngest daughters without letting my middle daughter down
Hard to support my first responder partner who has seen too much and struggled with so much extra stress these last two years
Hard to get through the day with thinking of all the family I lost during the first lockdown
Just bloody Hard to get out of bed in the morning

Ironically going to get downvoted for this, but the comment culture on BoredPanda is getting more toxic. I've seen some pretty heinous comments lately with dozens of upvotes. Like telling someone to kill themself, or that they deserve to be harmed or abused over their demographic (sex, race, diet, etc), or that they shouldn't be allowed to speak because of said demographic. I don't care what your disagreement is, that's not cool. And there has been a surge in comments (and upvotes) justifying animal cruelty, too, and downvoting people for correcting misinformation. A lot of the threads have become a very disturbing place. One of the recent posts had two comments that were the same - one, from a person who often gets heavily upvoted, had dozens of upvotes and replies of praise. The other, from a person who often gets heavily downvoted, had two dozen downvotes and replies of insults and told to die. It doesn't even make sense - is it a clique mentality?

I’m not yet 40 but so f*****g sick and tired of a society where everyone seems to be offended by everything. It’s pathetic. We’re going to be so PC in due course, the safest course of action will be no interaction. We’ll all life in hermetically sealed bubbles with no connectivity to the outside world, so that we needn’t be offended but can continue to be as horrendously narcissistic as society is making the next generation.

This is something that still irritates me from a month ago, a girl in my homeroom asked another girl what ocd was she replied with “its a disease where you have to make sure everything is clean.” Not only does the fact she is spreading misinformation get to me but also ocd is not a disease its a disorder, second ocd is different for everybody. I do not have ocd but I see how much it affects people, everybody who is struggling with ocd is very strong.

I've said this to someone else on here, but it is basically inevitable that it will happen again. Just try to think of it as a blip and be defiant to go for long periods without self-harming. It's a bloody hard thing to get through, so don't expect yourself to be a superhero. It's good that you set yourself targets though as it shows you will fight this damn thing till you finally beat it. But again, it's tough and it can take a long time.

Moon, if you see this. People who ask for a risk check care about you. 2nd, get a crochet stick and color yarn and make yourself a scarf, this will distract you from touching your wrists. I did, and it triggered creative ideas instead of self criticism. Peace be with you

A neighbour of mine self-harmed; it was clear because his upper, left arm had numerous horizontal scars. But he didn’t hide them. I was proud of that and never enquired. I think it was because I emphasised with him, being someone that self-harmed as well. A tacit thing.
Pink Floydian Panda 3 years ago
Please try not to get mad at the kids who want to check your wrists. You say you are annoyed by them, but you must realize their hearts are in the right place and they are asking out of genuine love and concern for your well being. After enough time has passed and they are convinced you are in a good place mentally, they will stop asking. Then you will know you have won the battle, but also remember that the war can never be completely won. So be thankful you have people who care about you and are looking out for you. Look at how many of the posters here do not have that kind of support. Just the opposite, they have cruel vindictive people from school and even family members who laugh at their problems and tell them to harm themselves. You may think of it as a pain in the ass now, but really you owe them a ton of gratitude for caring.

I don't need to hear from people I don't really know what is going on with my ex. It's one thing for his mother, whom I have a decent relationship with and is staying in her grandchildren's lives to tell me what happened at a court date because it stresses her and I care how she is doing. It's a completely different thing for someone I've talked to twice to somehow either get my number or find me on some social media I forgot I had to say "Did you hear that his GF left him? Did you hear he got 5 years?". I DON'T CARE. I've gotten rid of that drama, stop trying to bring me back into it.

I’ve been starting to have suicidal thoughts and that scares me. I don’t want to commit suicide, it would tear my family apart and I know me sister would be heart broken, and it really scares me that I’m having these thoughts. But then what’s the point when the world might end either in my lifetime or my kids lifetimes if I choose to have them. I feel like I’m segueing with myself here and I’m terrified that I might commit suicide some time when I’m not thinking clearly or when I’m at a particularly difficult time. I’m scared to tell my mom anything about this because I’m worried she’s either not going to take it seriously or she’s gonna make me take medication. If medication would fix it, then maybe, but I don’t want to be treated like I’m sick. But I don’t want to think of this as something that needs to be “fixed” I never talk about feelings that way feelings need to be come to terms with and reconciled, not “fixed.” I’m just thinking aloud at this point but you see my dilemma. I’m having some suicidal thoughts, I’m scared of that, and I’m scared to tell my parents, and I definitely won’t tell my siblings.

I hate is when people scream because I have a blot of blood on my trouser or skirt during a period.

I sometimes wonder if I'm a sociopath. I would never deliberately do anything harmful to another person but i don't seem to have the same feelings other people do. I don't get jealous, sad, feel grief upon someone's passing (to me it's a natural process), angry etc. I have nothing in common with my family so choose to not be a part of their shallow "oh what the neighbors must think" kind of life. I do have my own chosen family of friends with common interests. I perform random acts of kindness, buying food for a vet, paying for gas for a single mother, helping stranded motorists etc because those are the only times i feel what must be a normal person's "happy"... But i prefer to do it anonymously.

I really want talking about periods to be normal. And talking about them in a really nice, supportive way. It happens to half the world’s population and still we feel the need to hide the fact they happen? And also not making them seem like not a big deal. Before I got mine I was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to do this, that, or that somehow I’d be different, but honestly they’re not bad. It’s not the end of the world. So normalising talking about them, yeah, I’d like that a lot, thanks.

I'm appalled with poor, rude phone mannerisms people have today. I am referring to businesses, especially.
Yes, I understand people text and email more often today. However, phone calls are still relevant and necessary today, and a bit of polite etiquette goes a long way to maintain a good rapport with clients and customers.
This is what I've witness and put up with, AT BUSINESSES:
Eating on the phone loudly and speaking with their mouth full.
Hangs up with no proper farewell, no replies to "thank you" or just a "mhmm".
Answers with "What do you want?"
Swearing.
Receptionists hanging up on people before knowing who is on the other line, or hanging up just because the caller has a wrong contact name without offering further assistance or information.
The list is long.
Even if the call is not wanted, or unexpected, they just don't know how they're rude attitude may be an impact on their business and the companies the business deals with.

So this happens this summer. It was a hot day out and I was hanging out with a friend for a sleepover and we decided to go to one of the local dollar trees. While we where walking there a man (over the age of 30 if I remember correctly) came up behind us and started cat calling us and asking us if we had weed or wanted any. My friend and I decided to ignore him and walk away he kept following us and at one point we split from him after a while he realized that and came back. That made us decide $/?& it let’s call the police. He got really close to us luckily we crossed the street fast but he touched my friend and continued to follow us. He moved away from us and we thought he left. We ducked into dollar tree to wait for the police. As we where talking to nice officer my friend and I noticed the man from before walking closer to us WHILE we are talking to the police. The police goes to talk to him, he gets arrested. This man is a homeless fugitive from Texas. This is terrifying to me since my friend and I aren’t even 15 yet.

Manners. Common or garden courtesy. Please and thank you. And stop using "excuse me" as a demand for attention. If you are needing someone's attention, try good morning/afternoon, or I wonder if you can help me? If you make a mistake or realise the item you were looking for is right under your nose, make it into a joke, laugh, whatever! If you see someone struggling with a high shelf, offer to help.

I'm sick of kids in my school being homophobic because it's "cool" to hate gays. The other day I was sitting outside the GSA room just chillin because I didn't feel like going in but i wanted to wait for my friends who were inside and a group of straight guys walked by and started very loudly talking about how gross it was to be gay and debating over whether it was fair that there was a group for gays but not one for just straights.
I got so mad but they looked like seniors or juniors (grades 12 and 11) and I am just a freshman (grade 9) so i didn't want to say anything and risk getting in trouble with them, I told the teacher who runs the GSA about it and she said she'd try to deal with it but she seems to be the only adult at the school who cares
And as i've gotten more open with my classmates about my sexuality/gender and stuff i have been finding more people who I thought were allies but aren't. I've never been bullied very bad before this but I'm afraid that's whats going to start happening if I continue to not do anything, but idk what to do.

I hear so many people say “ if I go somewhere else I don’t even need to learn any of their language because everyone in the world already speaks English.” Let me just say that even though English is one of the most spoken language, only about 13% of the world can speak it, and a lot of those people to a small extent. Americans are so confident that they don’t need to learn any language, but most people from other places would try their best to learn English for us! The places that speak English really well are Scandinavian countries, Netherlands, Ireland, UK, India, and Philippines. I think many Americans assume everyone speaks English because when they travel internationally, they don’t leave the tourist area where everyone has to speak English. But in reality, we should be supporting and giving respect to the the languages of people all over.

Hi parents:
1. I’m queer and you can’t just tell me to ‘forget about it’. It’s a part of me. Just like how I know medicine and caring for people is my calling. Why is one celebrated and the other shamed? I find it hilarious how I’m not allowed to even think about that pride and lgbtq s**t anymore. Mind control anybody?
2. No, I’m not ok. Just because you told me to ‘be more happy’ and ‘don’t think about it’ doesn’t and didn’t miraculously cure my mental illnesses. Why is that you tell me to talk to you when I need to about mental health, and turn and say ‘no, you’re making it up. We are having none of this crap. Don’t try to trick us. You are so privileged, you can’t possibly be mentally ill.’ when I try to ask them for help. They canceled my therapy sessions by the way - because I was talking too much about gender diversity. Also, please don’t invalidate my pain. Just because you washed your family’s laundry from age 5 or that you broke a mirror and you dad slapped you doesn’t make it okay to tell me ‘we had it way worse and we turned out fine’.
3. On a more positive note: I have been completely self harm free for 3 days! It’s been a daily thing since probably when I was 5 or 6 but I finally got 3 days. It’s been hard, but I am proud of myself. If you have a similar achievement, congratulations to you. I’m really proud.

Crop tops. I don't mean people wearing them- that's totally okay, you do you! Personally, I'd just like to be able to find more regular length shirts in stores ;u;. I don't wear crop tops myself so it's a little disheartening to find a really cute top only to discover that it's cropped. Of course, there are simple solutions such as thrift stores, online shopping, generally looking harder in a store, etc, but I'd love it if they had also had uncropped versions of things.

How inconsistent people are with "acceptance". My opinions and beliefs are not less valuable than yours. If I'm Christian and don't support your decisions, it's okay! Support does not equate with my view of you as a human being. If I decide to have a different opinion than you, I'm not automatically a bigot. If I don't want to affiliate myself with something, I'm not racist, -phobic, etc. "Safe space" means anything, right? So please, for the love of pizza rolls and anything holy, don't shut others down for their thoughts. Before you say anything, ask yourself, 'who is being stupid?' It could be you. "Acceptance" isn't just for the majority, "progressive" ideas. Acceptance is for everyone.

I used to stalk my now boyfriend's IG account. He was a stranger to me, and we didn't run in the same circles. I randomly came across his account and developed a huge crush on him, would go down the rabbit hole and look into his history, his exes, etc. I learned some superficial things about his hobbies. Two years or so later, to my surprise (and after my crush had lessened) I matched with him on a dating app and made my move. I never told him about my internet stalking.

Earliest s*icidal thoughts I remember were when I was 6. I legit can't remember a time pre-meds where I wasn't depressed. I've made so many suicide plans (never gone through, but I've come close). I'm on my third med. First one caused suicidal thoughts (screw you Prozac) although it helped my mood. Lexapro did nothing. My new med appears to be helping a bit, not as much as Prozac did in terms of mood, and while I am not suicidal I have troubles with s*lf h*rm. I probably have about 30 open cuts/scars. If I don't get better I may not live to see 20. If I had to guess what kills me I'd say myself. I hope I get better, but I'm not sure if I will.

I'm trying hard not to turn into a total racist. I'm white and I tutor Chinese high schoolers in Australia. I know that lots of non-Asian families put pressure on their kids to perform well, but by the time I see these kids at 16-18 years old there's almost nothing left of a personality, optimism, or creativity. They're exam-drones and I absolutely hate tutoring them. I have two PhDs and almost every day I sit at work trying to explain to kids why they can't just 'formularize' an essay about literature (if they want to get top marks - and they ALL want top marks), and I hate myself and I hate them, and I hate the home culture that has done this to them. I feel like I've failed in life to have ended up doing this, because I've got medical/energy problems and I hate noise so I've basically bombed out of working in schools and there are no jobs in universities.

What's old is new again...sucks. Vinyl sucks (it sounds better the first time you play it; after that, it sounds like crap). Rotary phones suck. Typewriters suck. I grew up with these things and lovingly embraced the technology that replaced them.
And another thing about modern technology: I was in a job interview, and the person interviewing me gave me a condescending look and asked, "Are you comfortable with computers?" Lady, I took programming classes in the 80s and saw computers sweep through the office scape. I was there for the first car phones, cellular phones, satellite phones and smart phones, and I could program a VCR/DVR/whatever else, thank you. I've been working with computers full time as a profession since 1984. Don't act like modern technology was invented by your generation--it came from mine! We aren't as mystified by technology as you may like to think.

I’m so sick and tired about how real life/world change is unreachable and never seems to come. So I always hope for a full blown anarchistic society to begin that even government can’t touch.

Because of immigration issues I have not seen my children or my husband in nearly 19 months. I’m fairly certain I’ve become a functioning alcoholic.

I’m starting to hate myself. I’m angry and confused and anxious. I had depression and anxiety two years ago and I thought it was gone, it even worse now. My parents don’t listen to me. I’m midway through a conversation and something else is more important. The only time they notice me if when they’re fighting, and they try to get me to side with one of them. I’m losing friends at school, all they want is the be popular. I’m suddenly the weird kid, everyone looks at me weird when I talk to them. I don’t know my sexuality. Three years ago I think I fell in love with another girl but I keep denying what I feel.
I’m hating myself more and more. I started hurting myself, I’m having panic attacks where I’m in tears and I can’t breathe. I haven’t had suicidal thoughts but I want to suffer. I feel like I deserve it.
What’s wrong with me?

People need to stop fakeclaiming systems because of fictives. Michael is a fictive in our (possible. Under 18 so can't be diagnosed) system and he's faced the most discrimination, fake memories and self-doubt than any of us. Fictional introjects (fictives) are real. It doesn't matter if they're super canon conforming or don't conform to canon at all. They're very real and very valid. Mike, we're proud of you. Remember, you're real dude! You matter so much to us!!!

In a couple of weeks I’m due to have minor surgery. I still have to be knocked out. Over the years, I’ve had issues with my bp. I do what I can to keep it in check. I’m still nervous about the surgery and my bp causing an issue to where I may not wake up or I could have a stroke. We tried once to do the surgery, in August, but bp was too high and had to post pone. It doesn’t feel like that big of a deal, but deep down, I feel like I’m kidding myself and and very nervous. I know that doesn’t help my bp either.

People over-apologizing. If you did something wrong, you need to say you're sorry once. JUST ONCE. I heard you the first time, I accept your apology. Put it behind you. Everybody bungles.

When I was a kid my parents got me a teddy Ruxpin I loved it until his eye fell out one night think he fell out off my bed I was gutted my mum fixer of all glued his eye back in so he resembled a stroke victim soon after that his other eye got knocked out again my mum glued it back in. His eyes would twitch and quiver like he was having a seizure and never fully closed. Creeped me right out! Can recall it vividly my mum thought she was doing a good deed and would never have told her any different but really teddy Ruxpin became the thing of nightmares.
