Polls: Family & Friends

Let us say that your daughter is a lot like princess Charlotte towards both older and younger brothers, she is the boss she tells the boys how to play, what to play and what to do in general, one day your older son left the house bland writes a letter saying

" Dear mom I can't anymore, you do and say nothing as you watch how my life gets dictated by my younger sister, I left because you laugh and find it cute when she does these things Tobi's, don't bother looking for me. And keep your daughter away from me "

this is how she treats your son's the one son ran away from home because of her attitude.

In uppity dinner parties or even family events? I certainly dont want to see my mothers. But non family…have at it.

This is going to be a nerdy question with a lot of context. Im sorry about that.

I watched youtube all day today. And learnt so much good shit. There is gold on that site.

Something I learnt was something Jesus preached. Something fundamental Jesus preached. Which means it's fundamental to what Jesus lived like. Right.

He preached the sermon on the mountain as they call it. Thousands of random people listening. Like an amputheater, his voice reverberating upward. Everyone, even the dude on the back row hears his voice like he's sitting next to him.

The first thing he said. "Do not worry about what you will eat. Wear. Who you know. Who likes you." None of that shit.

"The richest man in the world wasn't ever better dressed than a flower. The dumbest buzzard in the world never ate shit. God provides."

This is so so so key. My half bro never worried about shit. He was so freaking manly. Thats what I dont get about Jesus haters. People thinking he was feminine. Jesus had to be a real man to say that.

There was another philosopher named Seneca who said a mind can be so clogged with irrelevant concerns that it causes an unfulfilled life.

It's the maslow hierarchy of needs. Its fasting and prayer. Its letting go of unimportant concerns. And it all ties together. Wow

• To become fulfilled basics have to be taken for granted

Do you agree

When can we no longer get away with it, living that life and are clearly not cool anymore? (If the number is more specific than my poll choices feel free to comment your own cut off point)

Be honest :p

So, my online friend and I have known each other for 8 months. We used to be very close, chat a lot, watch films together. But now, she always takes a long time to reply (like 2-3 days). It has become REALLY annoying. It's basically a pattern now. She apologized on her own a few days ago for being inactive (she said that she didn't feel so good these past days) even though I hadn't asked her if she was ok, etc. I appreciated her initiative, and she even started talking about a tv show that we both watch. Great. I replied as soon as I woke up... no reply. She hasn't read it yet, and it's been 2 days now. Yesterday, I double texted her and said that I'm here for her if she needs to talk and that I miss chatting/watching films with her, etc and that she is a good friend). I understand that she has a life, etc, and that she can't receive push notifications on the website that we use to chat... but COME ON! She used to reply at least once a day... I'm sick of being taken for granted. I guess I'll just disappear from the website for a few days... maybe a few weeks? She double texted me (like 9 days ago) because it took me half a day to reply. So, I'll see how she reacts when she sees that I don't reply within 5 days or so. I'm sick of seeing her being online on her social medias all the time (we follow each other on our personal accounts). I'm doing this because I wanna see how much she really cares and how much she values our friendship. Maybe she'll realize that she doesn't wanna lose me after all (especially after reading my text from yesterday).

Should I text this to my friend? So my friend has been acting a bit distant lately (takes a long time to reply, like 1, 2 or 3 days, she even left me on read once, etc). She apologized on her own for being inactive and not feeling good as well (well I think that's what she meant). I'm glad that she took this initiative (I hadn't double texted her nor asked her why she wasn't replying, but well, it basically took her 3 days to reply to my previous text). She still hasn't read my reply, though (which I sent as soon as I woke up, so a few hours later). It's been a day already (well 23 hours, but still). Now, I am thinking of sending her this text (maybe tonight):

"Hey (name), I hope that you are doing well! I don't know what you're going through but as I said yesterday, I am here if you need someone to talk to. You're a good friend, and I understand if you need space. Anyway, I'm looking forward to chatting and/or watching films again! Take care, (name) 😉"

So my online friend has been acting distant lately. Left me on read on Wednesday (though my message didn't really require a response tbh), then I sent another text on Thursday (about something unrelated). She replied on Friday, said that she had been busy lately (preparing stuff for the weekend because she was apparently going to some events). OK, fine. I reply to her on Friday, she replies exactly 24 hours later on Saturday. On Saturday, I reply again, then send another message (invitation to spend time together because we haven't done it in a few weeks). Still no response after 2 days. I told myself: "She'll not hear from me again 'till she texts me".

She texts me on the 3rd day and says "Hey! I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling really good lately" (she didn't word it like that, but I guess that's pretty much what it meant). Then, she says that she hopes I'm feeling good and she asks me what I thought of the latest episode of the tv show that we both watch. She texted this very early in the morning, so I replied like 3 hours later (when I woke up). She still hasn't replied. But, we text on a website that doesn't send push notifications, so that might explain why she hasn't replied yet. But I don't want to check if she has read it (or else she'll see that I was active not long ago and probably believe that I'm obsessing over if she has read it or not). Saying this because she knows that I pretty much only chat with her on that website. I just don't understand, she literally apologized this morning for being inactive and now she's back at it again.

Anyway, now, my question is (please vote in the poll): should I stop texting her first and not double text as well (even if she might actually not be feeling all that good at the moment)? And should I ask her if she wishes to keep contact with me (could explain that I'm feeling a distance in the friendship)?
