Everything is in my control
Lipstick Apathy

quote:

I recently found out my girlfriend has a box of mementos from past relationships. I was a little bothered by it, but understand that those relationships shaped her to be the person she is today.

Well one day she was working late and in a moment of weakness I looked through the box. I understand this broke her trust, but what's done is done. The issue is what I found inside the box. There were the usual notes and pictures and whatnot. There were also multiple condoms, with a note card stapled to each one. The note cards all had a name, a date, and a number under it. I figured out the name and date pretty quick, but am still confused as to what the number means. Number of orgasms? Rating the guy? I don't know.

There was a condom for me in there and I realized from the date that it was from the first time we had sex. I'm guessing the other condoms are the same thing. And thinking back - we had sex in her apartment and I just threw the condom in the trash. She must have fished it out later.

This is serial killer type poo poo, right? How can I confront her on this without admitting I broke her trust?

Good luck trying to pretend you didn't do that and that you don't know what you know now and trying to play it cool whenever she brings up a past boyfriend and eventually thinking that it'll be alright to let slip that you looked through her personal stuff and her getting rightfully upset that you snooped and her never being able to trust you again and eventually dumping you.

Good luck with all of that

sorry about my word choice :confused: "snowflake" seriously, I didn't know Bruce Tinsley had an SA account

quote:

My extremely wealthy/borderline hoarder Dad died back in October. He had a good life and was a great Dad and his frugal nature and savings meant he sent me to college and paid for it out of pocket, and he also put the down payment on my house when I moved out. I never had an idea of how much money Dad had. He still worked every day despite never needing to, he just kept saving that money.

He passed away from a fast moving cancer. He found out he had it in August, by September we knew it was terminal. My dad shared his will with me, and he left me everything. I have no siblings, Dad never remarried after my Mom passed away, and he was a pretty private guy in general.

My dad left me my childhood home and his car, which are both nice but typical inheritance things. He also left me every penny he had, which amounts to a little over $26 million.

Since getting the inheritance I have sold the old house and everything in it and am keeping the car as a nice weekend drive and memento of my dad.

I have not told a soul about my financial windfall. I don't plan on quitting work, I guess Dad ingrained that into me. But it's incredibly freeing to know that I don't *need* the job, and could quit or be fired and have a safety net for some time.

Honestly probably the healthiest reaction to finding out you're a millionaire

I dunno if being so frugal that you save up 26 million dollars is really a thing, though, you'd still need an actual rich-person job. What did he do for a living?

quote:

3 weeks ago I took a combination of 300mg Robitussin and 300mg Benadryl (that's a full bottle of the tuss gels and like 12 pink pills). The resulting trip led me to thinking very deeply and clearly (though I was still high as hell so I'd get stuck thinking about the threads and the creation of my blanket or the combined lifespan of the trees outside my window, tangentially related thoughts like I think I'm doing right now?) about my life and and my upbringing (I lived with understanding and love, but I felt like a void) and my old habits and new ones and the anxieties I felt constantly and my fears about people, of being hurt and of understanding my place as a single human and the elasticity of the brain in being able to experience pain and move on. The thoughts connected and tied together way better when I was high but I'm sure you get the gist of it. I remembered bits of my childhood I had lost and the feelings I could feel back then that I hadn't felt in ages, purer love and joy and faith in myself and the world, and I had a new sense of how I fit in with the natural and the social worlds around me.

I'm missing an important part of my fesh here which I think would be a buried lede because you can't gleam it from the above ramblings. I've been depressed for the majority of my life and I grew up timid and semi-autistic, unsure and unable to interact with people most of the time because I would just not know how, beyond what I needed to roll by in school. By my teens I realized what I was slowly becoming (I'm 19 now)and tried to break out of my comfort zone and succeeded somewhat (got a girlfriend, tried to socialize more) but my brain was still stuck in its familiar routines of thought and I couldn't break away from them and genuinely experience things like I saw others doing. Around 14 I started experiencing a disquieting sense of unreality when I looked outside and at others too, which I still experience (but I'm better able to handle it) that made the world feel pointless to engage with and attempt to change. I knew I had to change myself and I have known it for a while, but up until my trip I was unable to process what that TRULY meant, like my brain was capable of understanding what was wrong but it was unable to execute any of it successfully (a Chinese room for my humanity). I was generally pretty autistic as a kid (stimming, sensitive to a few sounds/textures, unable to make eye contact, monotone speech, inability to understand different people accept different things in general) but not enough to where I couldn't understand I was hosed or understand I needed to adjust myself.

I think I'm rambling on too much about stuff I don't need to be, but I'm not in a rush to write this. I will try to pop out a nice summary though. All you really need to understand is that during my trip, near the end, and the day right afterwards, I felt like a true human being, like I had experienced what was missing in my mind's malaise. I could understand that I was missing out on my life, that I could truly connect to people and the world if I tried and that pain and joy are necessary experiences, and that I shouldn't fear so much, be so self-conscious, that I could persevere instead of failing and resigning myself to failure. I felt a sense of sublime happiness the morning after my trip, I still saw the color in the world in a truer sense, I felt connected and able to interact with people without struggling internally to engage with them or the world, I felt serenely calm, I didn't fear interacting with people, didn't fear failure, didn't fear heights like I used to. I felt like I had gained a missing piece of myself and I was resolved to not let it go. I'm just happier all around in my life and I feel like I can live it and grow into a real person now. My friends have definitely noticed I'm more pleasant and comfortable with things; when I wake up in the mornings (I can finally sleep at reasonable times) and go to classes or to hang out, see my friends at work or whatever I just feel so much more at peace, and I've noticed when I'm really enjoying myself it feels like I am wearing the smile of the Buddha, like I really understand something impossible to communicate but essential to feel.

It looks like I wrote a loving shitload and I look half-insane but I promise you I am in control of myself and living life happier and with true direction. Drugs can't fix poo poo FOR you but it certainly helped me to gain a deeper understanding of myself, though unless you know what you're doing I wouldn't try to cure your gooniness dropping acid or something. I'm still sensory-sensitive and poo poo, but I understand how to act like I'm not much better, and it helps that it feels like I'm not acting anymore, like I am a real human bean. Get the message, hang up the phone.

TLDR: depressed autist takes drugs; has transformative experience

I'm glad you're feeling better now, but honestly what I'm gleaning from this is that something is a little off in your baseline brain chemistry which these drugs interacted with, and you should probably be on psych medication of some kind. If you start to regress, I'd seek out a psychiatrist rather than self-medicating again. Slight variation on my usual :therapy: advice.

The timeline does add up, although he could have easily done what I did and googled "how long does it typically take inheritances to be processed", but the fact that he sold the house that fast still seems fishy. Maybe it's a lot faster if it's not contested and there is only one heir :shrug:

Anyway yeah what you're doing is smarter than going out and buying a mansion and some new sports cars and hookers etc but hopefully you're at least investing some of that money. I'd also take a lesson from it and do something with your wealth within reason, both in the sense of enjoying it and spreading it around to worthwhile honest charities. It helps nobody, including yourself, if you follow your dad's hoarding tendencies and just let it gather dust in your savings account.

With a well worded will and only one beneficiary things can move pretty quickly. I'm going to second the "donate to charities" and think you should also donate to some museums in your city that you enjoy. Also hire a CPA and look into some Financial Planners/Advisors. Depending on what the money is invested in, you should really speak to someone about how to invest it to match your needs/goals vs what your dad left you. Other than that I think just every weekend or so taking your dads car out for a leisurely drive is a great way to remember him. Sorry for your loss man.

Perhaps we could have some kind of centralized body that we all agreed to give portions of our income or wealth to on a, say, annual basis and they then used that money for the good of everyone, like some kind of "public" good. Like roads, or schools, or fire departments. Things like that. Then everyone could benefit and you wouldn't have to personally vet each individual organization you were thinking about giving money to and you wouldn't have to feel guilty for not giving away more than was required of you.

So start your own. What's the point of accumulating wealth if you don't do anything with it? He's a goon so will probably not have anyone to leave it to.

At least use it to try and become an entrepreneur, or at the very least travel the world and have some good times. Do something with it. Staying at your probably dead-end computer janitor job while sitting on tens of millions of dollars is basically the most depressing life I can think of.

The existence of corrupt charities doesn't mean people should just stop donating to any of them. Not all of them are corrupt, just do your research instead of picking whatever comes up on google for "good charity".

Yep. 1% of 26 million is 260K a year. If you can figure out how to grow it 1% more than it would appreciate sitting in a bank, that's worth X of your day jobs. Unless you love your job and want to do it forever, go learn money management.

It's semantics. The whole point of taxes is that we can pool funds to benefit the common good, be it through infrastructure development, public safety, or welfare systems. A charity that builds houses for the underprivileged is functionally no different than low income housing provided by the government through taxation (I mean yes obviously there are differences, but I'm talking ideologically and ideally).

If I had that kind of money I'd probably stick a large chunk in those Vanguard ETFs everyone jerks off about, and then go to a good business school and study finance to play around with a million or so.

That would be good if you're looking to grow it and not live off of it. Even going to school and getting your 7 and 66 isn't usually enough to start managing your own money. Get someone else more knowledgeable in investing to help you with it. Two eyes and minds are better than one.
