To double text, or not to double text? That is the question I haven't asked myself much lately because I really don't care that much. I might feel a little embarrassed if I double/triple text my crush 20-30 minutes after sending the initial text, but what's life if you don't engage in embarrassing behavior once in a while? 

I don't have any qualms about double texting my parents because they do not adhere to strict texting rules that have burdened millennials and Gen Zers for decades. They aren't afraid to use an em dash while texting, nor will they hesitate to send a bitmoji that perfectly describes their feelings. Unfortunately, not everyone has parents who can text in a normal way. Some parents will send novella-length diatribes to their children and said children would screenshot those messages and post them online for all to see, reveling in their absurdity.

    I (21F) got into a fight with my mom after she locked me out of the house last night. I went out with my boyfriend, who's the sweetest guy, and she wasn't happy. When I got home the doors were locked and I assumed it was an accident. I called my dad because he usually picks up on the first ring, but he was sleeping. I didn't want to trying call my mom and wake her up

    I went into my room to decompress after this fight we'd just had, and she starts crying outside my door and asking me to open it. When that doesn't work, she tries picking the lock. I was holding the doorknob so she couldn't do that. She left and I thought it was over. Nope, she comes back with a whole axe and starts breaking my door down.

    4 January 2025 You are putting yourself in a category that will ruin your life. This is simply a stupid idea by dull people who convinced you that you can be different from your biological nature. You are a woman, your chromosomes are trying to behave like a man is like trying to milk a bull. What ever medications on earth or operations you think, is never going to change you from being a woman. May be a better approach is to think what do you hate about bring x Roman and work on it. Many women

    Who do you think you will find love with? A woman? Are you really into the same gender? Do you feel attracted to women and breasts..etc like what normal men do? A man? Real normal mind men will avoid to get into relations with those thoughts? Another trans? A woman trying to be a man? And you think that is what will satisfy you with love? You are a great person you are my Princess and I always love you for ever. Doing everything in my hand to give you a better life and future. It's painful and h

    Work with us, let's go through this together and find sensible approach, let's read good books, written by true scientists not those who are simply trying to prove a point to themselves by gathering more idiots around them. If you want we can consult a psychiatrist as this could all reflect a completely different issue. You lost your peace and got triggered into this anger and revenge.. this is not the way forward. Part of this is due to your teenager hormones, this will all calm down and you wi

    001 DO to do so. Numbers are never a prove. Every member of those won't be honest enough with themselves or with you as they don't want to face the fact that they damaged themselves irreversibly and will want to drag you to the same hole. Filling your mind with words of those people will tighten the trap around your neck and won't be easy to wake up or see the truth. Using your feelings only and not your mind at this stage of your life is not enough and is dangerous as this stage your emotions a

    I had to suspend your kindle subscription as I noted you are tripping into putting yourself under those writers shoes who can play with your mind inserting those weird thoughts of confusion in your already confused mind. I will activate your account again but we will need to be careful with what you read as you are at a critical stage and to follow a sensible scientific approach you need a clear mind away from the influence of any group.

But to see my precious clever intelligent daughter getting trapped into this !! don't think so, you are far more intelligent than this, even if you don't want me involved, use your mind, read, search, watch outcome of those who destroyed themselves, don't seek approval from those who are already trapped and destroyed,they won't help you, they will drag you. You can start again, you are not damaged yet, it's just thoughts inserted in your mind and can all be challenged using the co

    The shocking fact about all that is that you allowed group of thecos who failed miserably in basic life skills to overtake your brain, through their garbage into it to convince you that you can chose to be anything in life, a table, a shelf, a cooker, a car, a dog .. really? Is that how far your IQ can travel? Can't you see how much they are abusing your mind for their personal gain just to prove a point to themselves and their community!

    Focus on life, establish yourself, succeed, enjoy succeeding, use your available tools. We are behind you to support you as to one day you may find yourself without our support. Sadly people outside don't care. Prepare yourself for that. Live a full life and don't focus all your experience on that gender issue. You are young, life will teach you, you will develop and evolve, don't be just a tool others use to gain validation for some decisions they made.. you are not that stupid and you are not

    Your tears and regret won't help when there is nothing else you can lean on, no success and no life as all exhausted in one ares. All what we want from you as loving parents is to help you to evolve, flourish and be happy and we will always be there for you. Sit, think and write your goals. Use your tools and help yourself, it's heavy at the beginning but one you taste success and life you will realise the trap you were in with idiots dragging you down to fail all your life just for their own go
