Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?
Telling someone who says they don't want kids that they'll change their minds is INFURIATING and ENRAGING. It's condescending, patronizing, and it treats them as if they don't know their own mind. It takes away all agency. Just say OK and keep all opinions and arguments to yourself, please. And whatever you do, please don't do that BUT WHYYYYY thing? You're not asking to understand; you're asking to start an argument where you undermine another person's reasons. "I just don't want to" is a reason.

I’m a recently out lesbian with a pretty unsupportive family, about to head off to a private christan college for the next four years where I will, yet again, go back into hiding. :’) (Also my cat is sitting on my chest and if she does not get off soon I’m going to pee myself before I can hit “publish”) (now I need to get THAT off my chest)Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?
I don’t normally enjoy unpacking myself on others but I’ve held this in for far too long. My Mom is a wonderful woman, she loves and cares about me but something’s about her bother me. For starters she has a strong belief in science and uses this to tell me I’m not valid and I “scientifically” can’t be what I am. Then she compares me to her younger self listing all my differences as imperfections. I love my mother and don’t have anything against her but it bothers me that she puts science in front of her child’s happiness.Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?
My parents say I stay in my room all day, but I only do it because whenever I talk to them they insult me and yell at me for not being happy enough. They are good parents and very proud of me, but in everyday life it can get exhausting to always be stepping on eggshells.Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?
This will get buried I am a minor (this will help you understand) My friend was acting weird and then later asked me out, I said yes because they are manipulative and would of hurt me if I said no, and knowing I have autism, still asked me to kiss them after I said my brain stopped me from doing things like that. She later got mad at me for not looking at her. I’m still dating her but I hate it to the point I’m scared to hang out alone with her, as she might do something (she is 13 and had same gender sex but told me all about it 😖). Soon after I trusted her again and accidentally put my self harm scissors in my bag, which she looked through and stole them and wouldn’t give them back until I shouted at her (the next day) and they were broken. I am too scared to break up with her I don’t feel right, I like being biologically female but it feels odd and I hate having pronouns or a name (it’s not my name that’s the problem, I could have any name and it would be the same). I use they/them and that feels better, but no one seems to care I go through things where I am either overexcited or having suicidal thoughts and I feel like nobody likes me, or knows me and I’m crying while typing this because nobody cares and I’ll get in trouble for telling people these things because “nothing bad has happened so you are faking for attention” Sorry you had to read that Nobody else knows any of this but I feel a bit better getting it off my chestShow All 8 Upvotes

My friend's been abusing me. I thought I was overreacting, but the things he's done are actually really harmful, both mentally and physically. I blocked him on most websites, but he keeps trying to find ways to talk to me.Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?
Hmmm well I guess that I found out one of my friends husband was cheating on her. I don’t know what to do as she’s already been going through a lot and I don’t want to pile more on her. He’s always been a sweet guy. Should I confront him? Tell her? Do nothing!? I’ve been losing sleep over this!Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?

I don't enjoy hanging out with my friends anymore, except for one person. I can't tell my parents that I'm pagan, or that I use neopronouns and want to change my name. I'm terrified of being a financial burden on my family.Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?
i have depression and i'm not straight like my parents thinkHey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?
I feel like the Democratic Party has been really crappy lately, but since the Republican Party decided to be fascist and everything, the Democratic Party is by far the one to vote for, and its wrongdoings are nothing in comparison, but still, the worse the Republicans get, the more the Democrats use it as an excuse for their crappiness, and voting Democrat kind of feels like voting in a one-party system since voting Republican was never even remotely an option.Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest?
I am so not straight. I am pansexual. And no, it is not the same as bisexual.

He said it's authentic American pizza and it's how everyone eats pizza over there. I told him I'm from America and I've never once seen anyone eat that... He told me i was wrong and it's how all Americas eat pizza Y'all are crazy tooShow All 24 Upvotes

Despite there being an obesity epidemic, there are many MANY children who are hungry. Unfortunately, the foster care system is a worse outcome sometimes. We have many, many hungry children.Arik_the_Bruce reply
