This is both venting abd asking for advice. I've been telling them about this guy since I've started talking and it has gotten to the point where I almost don't want to meet him because I don't want him to meet my parents.

My dad thinks he is s straight up scammer, even though he has never asked me for money and has even tried to send me money (that led to a big fight because I myself do not like accepting money from strangers). He says the guys background is suspicious, because this guy is a widower, and that is can find someone in town if i went out more.

My mom says he is probably making a sound proof room in his basement, and asking why he hasn't come out yet, even though I keep telling her I was the one telling him not to come out. This is also the woman who says men only want one thing and all men are the same. But, she believes his background a bit more. She would tell me to go visit him, but in the same day, say I shouldn't because he probably isn't the real guy. Nher comments make me anxious and I end up calling the whole thing off.

For note, I have talked to him on Snapchat and he has sent me pics and videos all the time. Hell, he even sent me his home address by accident at one point.

So what should I do? I want to see him next month, but now listening to my mom and dad, I want to call off the visit.

This is a little long, but i would like some advice.

So, like the title summarizes, me and this guy have been chatting for a year, almost 2 now, and we live across the country from each other. We have had our ups and downs, times when I was sure I would never speak to him again or I never wanted to speak to him again, but we always ended up talking again and pick up where we left off.

He has always talked about either me coming to see him, going so far as to offer to pay for the plane ticket and letting me stay at his place. I do not like people paying for my things and said no way to staying at his house before a first meet. He has also talked about coming to see me, and I have always said no, because i get bad anxiety and chicken out and make up an excuse, which I always feel guilty about.

He is finally coming out to see me in a month, and I am super nervous. I also feel guilty that he is spending all this money, taking time away from his job, and this might not lead to anything. I don't like the idea of him spending all that money, and I'm not going to put out and it might be a disaster.

How do I go about dealing with these feelings?

Pretty much all my life, I have people I don't even know tell me their whole life stories, and mostly about the worst parts of it. And they seem so relaxed when they do it, like they are talking about the weather. Meanwhile, I'm just standing there, no knowing what to say or how to really react in the proper way. And sometimes when I tell them I am uncomfortable talking about it, they get surprised looks, almost offended sometimes.

Is this normal for empaths or is it something about my empathy?

Feeling nauseous and can't tell if I'm running a low grade fever right now. Started last night after my dad made Philly Cheese Steaks. The issue is he left the hamburger meat out in the sun for a little bit, but insisted it would be okay.

Now my stomach doesnt feel right, I don't feel right, but if I say anything, my dad will get really defensive about blaming the sandwiches.

So, the episode where Aelita and Odd get into a fight and hate each other but then work together and save the day. There was a bit where Herb and Nicholas follow the warriors to the factory to catch them, and Odd and Aelita make them think they are making out in the elevator, as a prank.

My question is and the thing that has been bugging me: aren't Odd and Aelita supposed to be cousins? I know they aren't really, but nobody outside the group knows it.

How the heck did they think that was a good prank and what did the gossip mill look like the next day?

I picked virus, normal mode. I started in Argentina.

I usually don't let the disease get symptomatic until everyone is infected, but I went with cough, nausea, and insomnia when it mutated. I only made it transmissable with ships and rodents.

It took me two years. They almost got me with the cure, but the virus mutated and I just let it go there towards the end.

Kinda freaked me out a little how quick it spread.

Don't know what flair to out this under, but my legs are getting worse. These last few nights have been Hell. Particularly in my knees. I cannot stop trying to stretch out my legs, making them pop and crack. And I when I try to stop, they spasm so much, my muscles involuntarily contract, and my legs curl up, or twitch badly.

I don't know what caused them to get worse, but my legs hurt during the day and I am losing sleep because I am sure my legs are still moving while I sleep. It is just getting really bad.

Edit: some background. I'm 30, and have been diagnosed for about 3 years give or take a year. The only medication I have taken starts with an R and caused fluid to build up in my legs. I cannot take anything with benadryl in it or it is ten times worse. And food actually helps. If I eat something with carbs or caffeine, it relaxes my legs most of the time.

I feel like a burden to my parents. I am currently living with them, as a means to save money and going to school for a degree. I do not have a driver's license because I've never been able to test for one reason or another and I have anxiety while driving.

I have a job, I pay my own bills and groceries. My dad is incredibly stubborn and always makes dinner. And doesn't like asking for help, but gets annoyed when you don't offer help, so that makes me feel worse. I try to help, but he always ends up doing the thing anyway before I can even think about it.

I want to get out and stand on my own two feet, and have done it before, but it is the issue of getting out of this town, and then coming back. It is stressful on them, unfair to them, and I feel so guilty and ashamed.

And before anyone asks, no I haven't told my parents I feel like this, because I know I will get the "suck it up, i have problems and you don't see me crying, get over it" stuff. I love my parents and they love me and said they are proud of me and stuff, but I can't help but feel like a burden because they have to drive me to work and stuff.

I just feel depressed and a burden and alot of other negative stuff. Any advice is welcomed.
