What are the odds it's an incest thing, and baby bro has jerked off into his sisters undies?

Jerking off is one thing he might be doing with his sister's underwear.

When I came home, a bunch of my stuff was missing. Stuff like my perfume, some clothes and lotion.

He was in the kitchen when she arrived, so I answered the door. And it was like looking in a mirror... After she left, I asked my brother if he had noticed how much she and I look alike. He rolled his eyes and told me that I was just being weird.

But if he was dressing his girlfriend up in them, I think that might actually be creepier

Oops totally missed that the unschooling post was done before.

Me [23F] with my SO [23M] of 3 years claims he is now possessed by a demon and is acting a bit weird

I'm thinking brain tumor or head trauma with the "pressure in the right side of his head" thing and personality changes.

It's also possible that the ritual OP's BF went to could have been expressly planned for him, and this was the intended result. Bind a daemon to your noggin to provide co-processing power/positive thinking/whatever. It seems like an interesting method of getting your poo poo together.

Me [22M] and friend [20M] are touring Europe and I'm starting to wish I came alone

quote:

Friend and I decided to tour Europe for a few weeks and it's been mostly a blast. But we have some critical differences in how we view the world that are starting to really grate on my nerves. I feel bad because I'm finding it almost impossible to be friendly with him any more.

He is very Internet-savvy and semi-ironically subscribes to the belief that most people are "normies" who are always being "basic" and doing stupid, pointless things. He's not as much of an rear end in a top hat as he sounds, really, but he's just very antisocial.

What kills me is that he thinks it's "cringey" to take things seriously. We tour some massive, ancient cathedral and he's making jokes about "eh, it's alright" "yo look at Jesus, he doesn't give a gently caress" "what do you think would happen if I just drank the holy water?" Part of me appreciates his constant skepticism; our mutual ability to take everything lightly is what made us good friends. But when I'm in the Sistine Chapel I really just want to appreciate it and marvel at the artwork.

When it's 10:00pm in London, I want to go to pubs and meet people. But everyone at pubs is a stupid normy and drinking is so cringey and basic. Even if I convince him to go, he wears a dirty pair of baggy shorts, a white tee shirt, doesn't shave, has terrible bed-head, orders water because "beer is gross", is painfully socially awkward and spends the whole time quietly making fun of everyone. I'll note that he goes to the gym and is reasonably attractive, but is so socially unaware that he's completely unapproachable.

He really doesn't understand why I'm not partaking in his constant joking anymore and why every evening I'm bored out of my mind. I can tell he's starting to get desperate because he's always glued to my side and endlessly trying to be ironic. At home, we mostly talked for a few hours at a time over Skype while playing video games, so he's not used to the "normie" side of me. I feel bad because he's clearly starting to feel isolated and confused, and he tell I'm disappointed in every social situation but doesn't get why.

But I want to enjoy Europe! I want to act like an adult and experience the culture! I want to marvel at artwork without having to make sarcastic jokes about it. I want to go out drinking and not feel guilty for being generic. I want to have positive experiences with new people, instead of confusing them with ultra-negative irony and Twitch/4Chan references

he clearly has self-confidence issues but I don't know how to enjoy this trip the way I want to without hurting his feelings. If I try to go do something alone he's going to be shocked and confused and will just sit alone in the Airbnb all day

TL;DR

Internet-culture friend is too ironic to sincerely enjoy our Europe trip or meet new people. I don't know how to enjoy myself without hurting his feelings, he thinks I have the same views as him and is confused as to why I'm acting like a "normie"

Antisocial means more like exploitative, mean to people, mean and/or aggressive and manipulative to your gain and their detriment. that's what antisocial personality disorder is (kinda).

You sound like you just enjoy alone time, which is fine and normal.

Me [30 M] with my Wife [32 F] Am I wrong to feel this way?

quote:

I feel pretty upset / like a total slap in the face and here's why.

I have spent plenty of money on Lingerie and my wife always declines to wear it. Says its to small or she is to big. She refuses any sort of sexy time fun photos even with the offer of not having her face show due to privacy concerns or them ending up on the internet.

Her idea of a gift for me was a very (like $500+ when I asked her) expensive boudoir photoshoot / photo book.

In my mind she has now worn several outfits for some random person to photograph her in. To then share these photos with other people in order to create a photobook and has no control of the images now that someone has taken them.

This whole gift just seems like a lovely slap in the face. Am I wrong to think this way?

tl;dr Wife has totally missed the mark on this gift.

I think it sorta depends, like if you travel with your SO and you're both on the same page it's good. If you're the kind of person to travel with a whole group of friends/family and huddle yourself into an isolated bubble then it's p much a waste and you might as well just gone to domestic beaches instead, but then you can't constantly talk about how enlightening your trip to spain was for the next 6 months so maybe it's worth the extra fees.

I can sort of understand the emotional issue this dude is having but the reality is that as long as she found a professional photographer that person couldn't give a gently caress about her state of dress and is way too focused on everything that goes into a good photo to be ogling his wife.

If anything it's a great gift cause she actually gets to look good in the pictures rather than homemade stuff that makes her feel even more self conscious as it highlights all the features she's sensitive about.

Yeah, part of it was that I was a late bloomer, and once I actually started working out and not dressing like a putz, I still had issues to work through. Also, I was super career focused in grad school.

OTOH, I've had friends who stayed in crappy relationships way too long because sex is fun and being lonely isn't. Is it really more admirable to go out for a year than it is to go out for a month or two then stop because you see the writing on the wall?

It's also easier to see that choppiness, for better or worse, due to people's lives typically being made much more visible.

I had this exact thing, like several solid relationships of mine ended entirely because I had no roots and so when one of us graduated or found a job it was like "well do we try to make this work or do we just part ways?" and the latter was so much easier.

I think if I had the option to just go college->job->family in same area and it was more consistent I woulda probably had kids years ago. Not that I'm unhappy with my situation just even my first job after grad school was technically temporary with a "well we mayyyyyy hire you after after your post position ends, but honestly why would we cause gov pays half the salary of people like you".
