Your sister bailing because she hurt herself is the actual whitest thing I’ve ever read in this thread

She didn’t even ACTUALLY get hurt. She manufactured a lie about getting hurt because her nephew or whatever was being a prick about wanting to leave

I swear I read that last confession in the r/relationships thread. I’d search it but I’m phoneposting. If I’m wrong, I’m not THAT wrong because it’d fit right in.

Yep. Too late now.

“Congratulations, you’re a loving rear end in a top hat and the fact that your fabricated allegations helped real victims doesn’t change that” doesn’t quite cover it because doing the right thing (admitting to the lie) would do way more harm than good at this point. Keeping a low profile and feeling guilty about it will have to do.

As long as you don't let this lie for long enough that a visit gets built up around your imaginary girlfriend, this is an easy exit. Tell them she left you some time ago and you've been trying to build up the courage to talk about it but you're not taking it very well and ease into the other poo poo from there.

I’m a little curious why anon made up this lie in the first place. I hope it isn’t one of those cases of a family judging their kid/sibling by weirdly arbitrary benchmarks of “success” because that’s always sad and definitely doesn’t help anybody that’s struggling actually change poo poo.

The “she left me” idea does work great here, though. It wouldn’t be the first time somebody got dumped, had a hard time dealing with the fallout, and fell into some bad habits food/exercise-wise.

That second one would absolutely crush me. I’m impressed you landed on “talk to her and not have the neighbour babysit” rather than any of the more extreme options.

Do you have a particular drink of choice before you do it?
Do you eat rear end on the first date?

These are all good questions, but a gentleman doesn’t eat rear end and tell.

Two episodes will stick with me forever. The basement that ate people and the alien girl left behind.

The ones that always stuck with me (provided we are still talking AYAOTD) are the Tale of Watcher’s Woods and this other one about a dollhouse that sucks you in and slowly turns you to porcelain. The latter was especially terrifying to me, at least conceptually.

Yep I remember this one. There was a terrifying porcelain girl wandering around the house as well.

Yeah, that was the whole thing, I think. This girl was visiting the area and her local childhood friend was missing. She (the friend) had been captured by the dollhouse and mostly turned into a doll, which she got lured into as well in the course of her investigation. They both got out at the end though.

I don’t know. There’ve been times when I’ve thought about sending stuff in and then I don’t because even though I’m a pretty infrequent and entirely unmemorable poster, I figure there’s quirks to the way I write that somebody’d figure it out if they wanted to which would be upsetting.

Paranoid? probably. Just saying I believe that kind of thing could be done if one were sufficiently obsessed.

Let me clarify my position: most of the things I want to anonymously talk about are too worrisome to post openly and so I chicken out.

But yes, I do find the idea of somebody meticulously running confessions and posts in this thread through the GREAT ANONYMOUS CONFESSOR IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM hilarious too.

Wall scrolls and swords tell a different story than framed puzzles, to my way of thinking. Mr. Sunshine’s got a point too though. I guess all I meant was that it wouldn’t present as the kind of red flag that renders the person unfuckable. It’s easily in “benign hobby I could see as cute” territory.

I don’t get the annoyance with the use of the term, specifically, but I DO get annoyance with people in general who insert their personal tragic history into every conversation. Like if I were to
go around being all “Oh, you hung out with your father at camp last weekend? MY DAD IS DEAD LET US TALK ABOUT IT.”

That said, what are you going to do? It likely wouldn’t be happening if she isn’t struggling with it and there’s no way that not acknowledging that fact doesn’t make you a dick.

This may or may not be a rural issue. (There’s a good chance it isn’t, but.) A few weeks ago, I took my son to get a haircut at one of the local places and the girl was like “what do you want to have happen here?”

“Short, just not too short; anything you think would look stylish on him is fine because we won’t know any better” really didn’t seem like the answer she wanted. She managed in the end, but with much trepidation all around.
