Afraid to play xbox due to homophobia and toxic people?
I know everyone has encountered toxic people on xbox so you can understand the issue I'm faced with ...
I am a homosexual male so I am always targeted and ridiculed by straight guys for no reason . they can usually tell because of my voice , I guess because my voice is a little softer , so they assume im gay.
All it takes is one guy to point it out , or to make some kind of a homophobic remark and then the rest of the party joins in on the ridicule .
I don't know what to do, every time I play xbox I encounter these guys and they ruin the entire game for me. I like talking to people and making friends in the xbox community but it's hard for me to even turn on my mic anymore because of the toxic people.
I haven't touched my xbox in weeks because I can't seem to find the interest to play the game anymore .
8 AnswersVideo & Online Games2 years agoWhy did he call me for no reason?
So there is this guy I know , and I text him once in a while to see how he's doing. Usually he just responds through text, but this time he called me .
I missed his first call , then just ignored it thinking he called me by accident or something. Later he called me a second time and I answered .
He had nothing to say , just "hey how are you?" and I was like " good and you?" ... then that was it ... he said he had to go and I was confused -__-
I texted him a day ago , and he didn't respond. apparently he didn't read the texts because he said so during the call. I don't understand why he called me without reading my texts first.
it was just weird but kind of funny. what does it mean when a guy does something like that? seemed kind of clumsy , like I felt he wanted to ask me something but then chickened out. but who knows. he might just be dumb
1 AnswerSingles & Dating2 years agoScreaming kids at Mummies of the World exhibit ? should there be an age limit?
it was such an honor and a privilege to see artifacts and remains from past civilizations but the screaming kids completely ruined the exhibit for me.
I left the exhibit with a severe migraine, and want to see the exhibit a few more times but these screaming kids and their lousy parents are ruining it for everyone.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to avoid screaming kids at the exhibit ? should there be an age limit?
the kids screaming were even touching the displays and trying to climb them. isn't this dangerous to the mummies and artifacts?
I feel like some of the kids in the exhibit were too young to be there, and these are dead bodies so maybe it's not appropriate for kids up to a certain age?
these are human remains, they were once people . they're resting and I don't think it's a place for screaming kids and lousy parents who can't control them
4 AnswersParenting2 years agoShould I call off for a Once In a life time opportunity...?
I ve always wanted to see mummies. I ve read about them for years and am fascinated by them. There is an exhibit near me , I just found out today, it just opened a couple months ago and I just found out about it. I m panicking because there are 40 mummies and many of them I have read about and it rages me that i didn t know allot it sooner.
I need to see them in person immediately but I work tomorrow. I love my job and feel guilty calling in, but I m so desperate to see them, I can t wait. I just can t . I m paranoid something might happen and the exhibit will get cancelled. I know it s irrational but I can t help it. I m also scared if I call in sick for a day my managers will frown upon me.
Please help me, I m torn apart and stressed. I have 30 hours of sick time and haven t missed a day since starting in November. Should I call in before my shift and take the day off, or should I wait until I m off?

2 AnswersMental Health2 years agoFirst Date Red Flags?
we met online and made plans to date at his place, but one evening he spontaneously asked me to come over because a "friend" of his flaked.
I don't care if he is dating other people but I feel he mentioned this to make me jealous ... .
also, felt like I was being called in like a last resort booty call because his first choice didn't work out .
this guy also lied about his height ... his profile originally said 6ft3 but now it changed to 6ft1 . not that height matters to me anyway.
I tried heading over to his place even at the last minute, but apparently I took too long to drive up there and he cancelled. I took 30 minutes ...
we are going to meet tonight as we originally planned but I dunno if I want to go. I feel like he doesn't give a **** about how I feel in the long run and will step all over me . he already seems to have a "friend" , so I dunno how to feel about that either .
it seems to early to be feeling this way . what do you think?
5 AnswersSingles & Dating2 years agoSister Is Threatening To Kill Mother And I Over Student Loans ?
I've secured a contract with my lenders to make timely negotiated payments for the remainder of this year. Once the year is up, my sister will no longer be the liable co signer of my student loans from over 10 years ago.
What bothers me is My mother has cancer. She also has a very high death insurance policy and owns 2 homes, something she spent her entire life building. My mother has requested in her will that all the funds, and properties be forwarded to me and that my sister is restricted from her funeral proceedings . My sister does not like this and has threatened to sue me in court after my mother dies for a piece of the death insurance and one or both homes.
My sister states she will use the student loans as an excuse to sue. claiming her credit score was effected by them and that my mother and I are to blame. She wants to "make up " for her losses and the "emotional suffering" she has undergone . My sister believes the courts will side with her because she is a woman with children , and I am a single white male.
My mother is afraid for me after she passes and wishes there was something she could do to protect me from her , but what? even after i get my sister off the loan contract, she still wants to sue me . These student loans are a nightmare. Is there a limit on how much she can take ? i a 5 grand student loan with her , could she take two homes and most of the death insurance money ?
that would kill my mother and I emotionally if that happened.
9 AnswersFamily2 years agoIs my sister a whore ?
My sister has 3 kids from 3 different fathers . She used to be a stripper and that's how she met all three men. She knew the men for less than a year before becoming pregnant and getting married. After divorcing them she filed for child support , got government aid and went to college, withdrawing thousands in loans.
She was living the good life for a while , until she was reported to child support. teachers suspected the children were being abused and filed police reports. When CPS arrived at her filthy house they labeled the conditions unlivable. Before the children could be seized , she fled to Wisconsin where their jurisdiction could not reach. She continued to keep the children , receive child support and government aid.
While hiding in Wisconsin , my sister was living the high life.on a typical friday she'd be at the bars, getting drunk and fine dining with her male co workers. while her kids fended for themselves in the pigsty she called a house.
Now that my sister's children are adults , one has run away and has not been seen in 4 years ; another frequently lies, is lazy and has no ambition ; the youngest still cuddles with mommy now that he is over 18 .
My sister once worked for fox news , but after discovering photos and negative rumors about her on a popular website she was fired . Now she works at starbucks like a typical person with a bachelor's degree and has sex with her co workers .
4 AnswersSingles & Dating3 years agoHow to deal with a psycho co worker ?
I was working a job a while back and a lady there hated my guts. she would frequently say things like " what are you doing !!?? " or "you have ALOT to learn! " or " am I making you uncomfortable yet ?!"
I didn't think she was serious so i would laugh and joke with her but she'd always give me this angry look , like what i said threw her off because she wanted to upset me...
later I found out she was talking negatively about me to co workers in the office . I felt kind of bad for her because she's one of those over weight call center blonde stereotypes and i thought maybe she hated me because I was in shape and better looking (not trying to toot my own horn)
eventually she started saying things to my supervisor and would always report me whenever i needed help . i was still in training so i was obviously still learning.
I was not offended by anything but it did concern me and I thought "what is a person supposed to do in this kind of situation??? she's my boss so obviously i can't say anything , and she's been here longer than i have" ...
I ended up leaving that job for a higher paying job but I still think about it sometimes and wonder why she hated me so much
3 AnswersMental Health3 years agoWhy are some people so aggressive at the grocery store?
I was walking through a narrow isle at the grocery store at a moderately fast pace. This woman entered the isle after I passed her. The woman was still a little ways behind me , but then suddenly she started running towards me. The isle was very narrow but despite this she tried to run around me anyway. of course, she bumped into me and said "excuse me!" really loud and then ran off ahead of me.
just a few days ago the same thing happened but the woman was pushing a cart . she ran towards me from behind and hit me with the cart . I fell to the ground and she tried to go over me but since she couldn't she instead went around very quickly. I laid on the floor for a little bit trying to process what happened, then slowly got back up and left the store
7 AnswersPolls & Surveys3 years agoIs it offensive to compliment a black woman on her skin ?
I bumped into my black neighbor today and she is such a sweet lady. I noticed that her skin was really bronzey and glowy in the sun- so I complimented her and said "you're skin looks really nice. it's so glowy and clear" . She looked really surprised and laughed.
She doesn't know this but I compliment alot of people on their skin and I hope I didn't offend her . I know that skin tone is a sensitive thing some people struggle with .
4 AnswersSingles & Dating3 years agoshould i take my mom to the aquarium ?
I've been wanting to take my family to the local aquarium for months . I finally have enough money and arranged everything with my nephew and his fiance so we could all go together .
When I surprised my mother with the news , that we all were all going to the aquarium tomorrow she wasn't happy. she said that it would be too much money , that she has bills to pay , that my nephew would probably leave early because he wants to be with his fiance instead of us , that it would be cheaper if we just went without her , that i would starve if i took us because it would take all my money ( which isn't true )
I was very sad she said this . I was having a very good day , and she made me feel so stressed, disgusting and unhappy . Im not sure what to do , I want to take her still but I'm starting to think i should just go alone . It makes me feel very depressed and I feel ashamed of my mother because she does not want to make happy memories with her family .
after i told my nephew I wasn't sure what to do because she was acting up, he became upset because he thought the things she said were "harsh" and that she was "putting me down" for wanting to do something nice for the family . Overall I've been depressed, I feel very stressed and don't know what to do
could someone please help me ? any suggestions ?
3 AnswersFamily3 years agois complaining to the HR department worth it anymore ?
when i complained to human resources about office harassment they instead defended my supervisor , lied to me, gave misleading information and were biased .
i am not going to go into deep detail because it will make this question too long but , i had videographic evidence of my supervisor yelling at me, pointing at me, slamming papers and books on my desk , and i even had video evidence of my supervisor chasing me out of the office / i even had a witness testify to seeing all of this...
despite all of this hard evidence , they still attempted to make some phony excuses for her . they never talked to her and instead spoke to me . even after denouncing their fake arguments i cannot help but feel like there is no interest in resolving the issue or seeking the "truth" .
should i just shut my mouth now and work ? complain about the human resources department to corporate ?
or is it all just going to be a shitty loophole.

3 AnswersLaw & Ethics4 years agomy mother makes me cry, how can i get through this ?
My mother is a very negative person who complains, and yells often but i always respect her enough to let her be without conviction. I sit and listen to her whenever she has something to say.
on days when i feel like my life has some sort of meaning, i can always count on my mother to make life seem meaningless. sometimes, i will quietly walk into my room, lay in bed staring at the ceiling feeling the tears fall down my cheeks . i m not sure what to say, i just lay there quietly and let myself cry in the silence of my bedroom.
i know my mother will never change . if i tell her how much she hurts my feelings, she will walk away and ignore me.
i ve attempted suicide a couple times. i am on medication now, and i go to therapy regularly and try to take responsibility for my mental health.
i want a happy relationship with my mother i just don t know what to do anymore at this point. i feel like i ve tried everything .
3 AnswersFamily4 years agoshould men and women work separately?
im a business owner and the women always complain about male employees sexually harassing them, and I've had a few say they were raped. i'm getting tired of it because most of these are false accusations. Should i have men and women work separately?
I've had men and women working separately at my business for a while now and i haven't gotten any more complaints from the women. i am genuinely worried about women and think they should work separately from the men for safety reasons.
should other businesses do this practice?
8 AnswersGender Studies4 years agoWhy are women so ANGRY ?
This is speaking very generally and is not meant to offend all women. however, in many general encounters I have with women I ve noted that they are quite angry. for example : just the other day I was grocery shopping and a white woman tried to run me over with her shopping cart. she bumped me and i was lucky enough to get out of the way before i got hurt . She looked back at me with an angry look on her face and walked off.
this is just one instance of many where I ve encountered a woman. so for those of you who assume i m generalizing the subject based on one experience will look moronic when answering this question.
the basic surmise of my observation as a gay male is that women are angry , they take it out on other people and then start fights. Is this behavior normal of women? Do they get angry about something else that does not involve me and feel so emotionally driven that they must take it out on the next guy in order to feel better about themselves?
1 AnswerGender Studies4 years agoConfession: I've had thoughts of killing my mother and feel guilty and afraid for it?
my
My mother can be very cruel sometimes...there was a dark time in my past where she was yelling at me in the kitchen and i had this thought... "what if i killed her right now?" ... I was chopping vegetables at the time and my grip tightened around the knife. It didn't even feel like it was real, i almost felt like i was dreaming and i wondered what would of happened if i just stabbed her in the stomach and told her to shut the f**** up.
I love my mother so much , i really do.
Luckily i didn't act on it, and instead sought help from a psychiatrist. they prescribed me some medication for depression and i don't have those thoughts anymore. I still feel guilty though, and the fact i came so close to actually stabbing her scares me because I never want to think like that again.
my psychiatrist wants to lower the dosage of my meds because he thinks im better now , and my body has been suffering a ton of side effects. I'm a little scared and that's why i'm typing this. do you think everything will be okay? how can i cope with the guilt I feel and how can i avoid ever having thoughts like that again? Is my mother partially to blame for these thoughts because of how mean she is to me?

1 AnswerBirds4 years agohow can i forgive my mother for never naming me and taking my independence? 10pts?
my mother raised my sister's brothers and i. she has a reputation among everyone for being irresponsible . im not going to go into detail about the ways she screwed us all over but ...
my mother never taught me to drive and refuses to teach me until this day. I have gotten my permit a couple times, and my mother simply refused to teach me so i could pass the test and get my license.
not only can I not drive, but I am also not named. When I finally got a job that would pay me enough to live independently ... i found out my mother never named me . this resulted in me losing the job, going to court for 3 months to fix my name, and paying about 400 dollars in court fees .
the hospital tried contacting her, but she refused to fill out the paper work . now it has costed me and i must pay the price for her mistake.
the truth is , I'm mad at hurt and i wish this never happened. i wish i had the job i wanted , i wish she taught me to drive.
all of these things i know will come together in time. i just need to learn to forgive my mother because i still feel resentment for her for keeping me from becomming independent.
