hello. earlier today in class, i had taken off my sweatshirt, which revealed my scars on my arm. it was really hot, and that classroom's AC doesn't work. so i had taken off my sweatshirt and immediately i noticed my friend staring at my scars (mind you, he's literally seen them before). this made me a bit uncomfortable, obviously.

but THEN, at the end of class, my friend pulled me aside and was like, "can you please cover your scars around me? they're really triggering."

i was just kinda,, stunned? i didn't respond outside of saying "sorry, it's hot" and walking off after the bell rang.

what should i do about this? it's literally summer, and i can't hide my skin forever around this friend.

Hello. I'm in a bit of a predicament with my friend.

So basically, it all started about three weeks ago (yes, only three weeks) when I was eating lunch with my friend (we're in high school). I was eating some pretzels really fast (I have a bad habit of kinda shoveling food in my mouth when anxious), and he made a comment about how I looked like a pig doing that. I told him to please not make jokes like that towards me, because i'm trying to recover from an eating disorder.

He said, "oh, I didn't know you had anorexia." and I told him that I don't, and that I have bulimia. He didn't know what that was, so I explained it to him. He just kinda apologized for the joke and didn't bring it up again.

The week after that, he started telling me he was 'on a diet' and fasting. It made me feel really insecure because I kept eating, but that's beside the point. Then, he started randomly talking about how he probably has anorexia. This made me a bit uncomfortable, because he seemed proud of it?

Anyways. A couple weeks after the start, he went to a mental hospital. Before he went, he told me why he was going and made a comment about "I keep throwing up everything I eat". I felt extremely guilty, because I feel like I brought that concept onto him.

Moving on, when he got out of the hospital last week, he started telling me about how he 'can't stop purging' and now has bulimia. I again, felt extremely guilty, and it caused me to start b/ping again.

Now, almost every day, he's been texting me when he eats saying 'are you proud of me?' and I'll tell him yes, i'm proud of him for eating. Then, he'll text me saying he purged. He keeps texting me every time he purges and also keeps talking about his excessive exercise and fasting as of recently. This is INCREDIBLY triggering to me.

I don't know how to ask him to stop bringing up these topics to me without sounding like an asshole. I feel like he only started purging because of me. I also feel like he might be trying to size me up and act like he's better at having an eating disorder than I am—he keeps bragging about how much weight he's lost.

Any advice..?

TL;DR — My friend started purging after I told him I have bulimia, now he messages me everytime he eats and purges, and keeps bragging about his exercise and fasting, along with how much weight he's lost. It's very triggering. How can I ask him to stop without being a dick?

What do you guys think of this episode? Personally, it's one of my favorites by far. I don't know why it sticks out to me so much, but.

The concept of a little kid being murdered (rather brutally) by his own brother is horrific. Especially with how the parents try to cover it up and blame it on the perpetrator in a pre-existing case. There's like, this whole feeling I get throughout the entire episode that something just isn't right, like they're not on the right track, even though they found the child murderer. I don't know. What do you think of this episode?

Also, JJ is exceptionally gorgeous in this episode but that's beside the point.

one of my favorite snacks is banana peel dipped in ketchup. i don't like the banana itself, only the peel. and i don't like ketchup, only with banana peel. they're very yummy together. okay, that's it. byebye.

what character(s) personality do you think changed the most from the beginning to end of the show?

like, what're the episodes that you just cannot watch again because of creepiness/how disturbing they are, etc?
