Besides what anti anxiety meds are they gonna prescribe, benzos? At that point you're probably better off just having a few beers at the party.

In what world is two drinks enough to "get a buzz going?"

like thirty pages ago there was a derail about avg. alcohol consumption - basically if you dont feel two drinks you're either an alkie or have problem drinking because the majority of people don't drink at all, or maybe one drink a month, and those people will definitely be feeling looser after two drinks. if you're a drinker most of the people you know and hang out with are probably also drinkers so it's easy to overestimate how much/many people drink

The cheapest and arguably safest thing to self-medicate with is food, but we all acknowledge it's a problem when people self-medicate with that.

Alcohol is fine but you shouldn't need it for a party.

Seems kind of like a pedantic derail, I mean when someone says they need it are they saying they strongly prefer it or are they saying they'll roll into a ball and not speak to someone the entire night. If you only ever drink at social functions you probably do not have an alcohol problem.

Yeah, this. There's little difference between popping a prescription benzo and having a couple beers, only with the beers, you have a shot at not blacking out and acting completely insane.

With therapy, you can overcome the most severe symptoms of social anxiety, but it still clings with you. Guess what? Alcohol...is popular...because it loosens you up in, get this, social situations.

Here's something sort of cute

quote:

Me [25 F] with my lifelong platonic friend [25 M] ended up being much more and now need to figure out how to tell our family's

We literally have been friends and neighbors our entire lives. There are photo's of us both sitting naked in a tub taking a bath together at the age of 2.

We grew up together and not once, EVER, did we cross any line of anything other than just being the best buddy's in the world. In fact I'm sure both of us on more than one occasion would say "ew gross" if someone else asked us about each other in that way.

We both went through all of high school and college with several different partners. I one time held him in my arms (like a sister) when a girl who he had dated for 2 years cheated on him and he cried like a baby with me. He has been there on oh so many nights listening to me complain about whatever my latest boyfriend would be doing that I did not like.

Then about two years ago he moved away for a job and I honestly felt like a family member left. We kept in touch at first but as months passed we texted less and less and eventually it was just every now and then.

Then back in October he came home to visit his parents and I saw him pull up in the driveway. His parents were gone at the time, he didn't know that. So I ran out to say hello.

Well hello became a hug, a hug became a looking into each others eyes, looking became a kiss, a kiss led to the most intense sex I've ever had in my life, intense sex led to me now being almost 3 months pregnant. Yes, I have no idea what either of us were thinking because protection just never even came up and after the first time it just seemed dumb to go look for protection the rest of that day.

Anyway it wasn't just a one time thing. We have been spending almost every single day with each other. He had a chance to get a job here and has been here since the last part of October.

It has been nothing short of heaen on earth for me. He say's he feels the same way. We have talked and both admitted that this was very unexpected and that neither of us had been holding a flame for each other all of these years. But it just seems so natural.

When I told him about the baby I was deeply afraid that it was going to be a no go for him, but to my shock he was thrilled.

On Christmas he proposed, yes I know people are going to say we are moving way to fast and I would normally agree but this case is different. We don't need to get to know one another, we already know one another.

We both want to be married when our baby is born.

Here is the kicker though. Just simply because of awkwardness we have not told our parents we are a couple. They know we have been spending a lot of time together but this is not new as we would see each other every day for the previous 23 years of our life before he moved away.

Our parents both love each of us. However they have never known us to be anything other than friends. Now we have to tell them but it won't just be "oh hey we are dating". It will be "oh we are engaged and btw your going to be grandparents".

I just don't want them thinking that we had been doing this all throughout our teenage years together.

Anyone ever dealt with this before and any advice would be appreciated.

tl;dr: lifelong friend and I recently connected romantically. We are now pregnant and even though the romance is new (less than 3 whole months) we have known each other forever and have decided to marry. We now have to tell each others parents and we are not sure how best to do it.

I bet the parents have been expecting them to get together for a long time, too.

The longer they wait the worse it's going to be though, if she is 3 months preg then she will start showing soon if she isn't really fat and hiding a pregnant belly can be done but hiding a baby in 6 months is going to be a lot harder.

I could either spend hundreds of my own out-of-pocket dollars on a psych who might possibly not be a piece of poo poo, who potentially takes anything I say seriously, and maybe gives me a prescription for whatever that could do me some good (and will likely also cost me a small fortune in upkeep)

OR

I could buy $20-30 of delicious beer a week. Gee, I wonder which sounds like the more feasible solution?

It's pretty average, but insecure guys are used to girls being around their height at best and typically shorter.

As a 6'2 guy, I actually end up caught off guard by women who are around my height because I don't notice their height at first. I think my brain inherently sees people at my eye level as "normal" and it's only later that I realize that they're towering over all the other girls.

A quick look at Wikipedia (lol) says the average American man is 5'9" and the average American woman is 5'3.5". I was gonna guess 5'10" and 5'4", so I wasn't too far off. So yeah, a 5'10" lady at least has a front row view of the Amazons over in outlier territory.

Who knew I was slightly above average at something? I'm a couple inches above... oh my stars and garters! I think I need to sit down and breathe some thicker air. This is all so sudden

E: average height for men and women varies by region, race and things like wealth and diet, too.

EE: the French lost an inch or two for a while because of the Napoleonic wars. Tall mans up front!

WAY TO GO WAMPA!!: Oct 27, 2007

here's a content posted on a non-fake account with lots of activity

Me [F17] with [M25] I met online a few days ago, should I enter a side chick type relationship with this man?

quote:

So I met this man on a (secure) website. After messaging back and forth and moving to texting I found out that we're pretty compatible. He doesn't live where I live, but he visits a lot and basically he is looking for a side chick of sorts to hang out with (both sexually and non sexually) while he's here. He has a girlfriend back home.

Now I have no problem with the fact that I would be the other woman in this situation. And I'm not here to suffer people's wrath or judgement about that aspect of the situation. I just want some advice as I'm pretty young and I want to make sure there isn't anything I haven't though of before entering this type of relationship. Maybe someone with experience can offer advice.

What bothers me about the situation is that after I told him I'm 17 he was so okay with it. Their is a big age disparity between us and he was excited about the fact that we'd have to sneak around. Is that normal for someone his age? 17 is the age of consent in my state so what we're doing wouldn't be illegal.
Also I'm a little scared because I might be meeting him for the first time tomorrow. (I have hung out with guys that I've met on this site/app in the last though. I think I'm just more nervous because of his age) I don't have a car so he would pick me up from my house and the plan is to go get a quick lunch. If I want to hang out with him further he said that'd be great but if I just wanted him to drop me off he said that's completely fine too. This guy seems normal enough, just a college grad looking for what I'm assuming is a sugardaddy type arrangement. I'm just not sure what I'm getting in to as I've never done anything like this. Should I go for it? Is there anything I haven't thought about or has anyone been in a situation like this?

TL;DR. I'm 17, met a 25 year old man and I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into. Plans to hang out tomorrow but not sure if I should follow through with them. Could use some perspective and/or advice.

quote:

I don't think I'm a bad person. I don't always do the right thing, but I'm not a bad person.

quote:

Because I just don't care. Idk, to be honest I don't understand the big deal. Obviously cheating is a huge no no on this sub but I guess I've just formed different values and morals as I've gotten older. That's really the best answer I can give you.

Only at this:

quote:

Edit 2: I'm going to add this simply because I feel like you need to hear it: You already know the answer. Simply by asking the question you KNOW you shouldn't be doing this. If you did you wouldn't be asking strangers for their advice. You knew that this would be the response, so take the advice and listen. You already KNOW this is dangerous and leads down a rough and dangerous road. You can avoid it today by not going any further. You already KNOW where this goes. If you pursue it, yeah, you might get laid but there are a thousand other ways to get laid by someone who is worthy of respect and you will feel better about the next morning. Please do the thing you already know is right... and be safe. This guy sounds like the worst kind of guy.
One more thing: Imagine your best friend was this dude's girlfriend. What would you think of him then?

did she for some reason realize it's a bad idea
