just bored rn and i cant fall asleep. its also really hot right now and my fan is barely helping me and i dont have friends to talk to

my parents have been abusive mentally and physically ever since my brother was born which was when i was 4 years old. im 18 now and my dad has changed but my mum continues to make my life miserable and i hate her more than anything and i just cant wait for the day i get rich and make her pay for everything. what hurts the most is that its only me, not my brother nor my cousins so nobody gets me or thinks im the problem when im not. my whole family has decided all together that im going to be the joke of the family and idk why they picked me but are able to treat my brother and my cousins like normal children. i can forgive my whole family for what they did but never my mother i will genuinely get my revenge idc, ive never seen more evil than ive seen in her and the fact that she wont even let me move out by myself for uni which i dont understand if she hates me so much. istg im not taking care of her when shes old and sick, thank god she has severe artiritis shes gonna be all paralysed and wish i was there to take care of her. the fact shes certain i will look after her when shes old just because im a "women" and that "women take care of their parents no matter what" like fuck no, i am longing for this day.

Just looking to meet some new people, have interesting conversations, and see where things go. I'm easygoing, enjoy getting to know different people, and I'm always up for a good chat, so don't be afraid to say hello :)

i feel like a year ago when i was in a relationship someone put a love spell on me, because i was acting insane and it felt like that wasnt me and i never act that way and i know that my ex's sister was really into spells and since i broken up with my ex, my life has went downhill. so what are some signs that maybe someone put a love spell on me or something?

The Genesis account raises a problem of human origins. Adam and Eve are presented as the first humans. If all humans descend from them, then their children would have had to reproduce with close relatives, leading to severe inbreeding. Genesis specifically names three sons, Cain, Abel, and Seth. If there were no daughters, then the only way the human population could continue would have been for the sons to reproduce with their own mother, Eve. If there were daughters who simply were not named, the early generations would still have required sibling relationships and therefore incest. This creates a tension with the later biblical condemnation of incestuous relationships. If incest is morally wrong, why would the original human population have depended on it?

Also, The birth of Jesus raises questions about why God chose that specific method. God is described as omnipotent, meaning he is all powerful, If that's true, why would he choose an innocent 12 year old girl to become pregnant with Jesus? According to Christian bible, Mary was around 12 to 14 years old. God created Eve from Adam's rib without pregnancy. If he has unlimited power, He could have created Jesus in a similar way using Joseph's ribs, or simply made him appear out of thin air through a miracle without involving Mary at all. Instead, He chose to have an innocent 12 year old girl carry the pregnancy, while there were other ways he could have done it. That choice seems unnecessary and raises ethical questions.

Furthermore, Parts of the New Testament promote ideas that many people today would consider misogynistic. 1 Corinthians 14:34 and 1 Timothy 2:11–12 tell women to be silent, obey men, and not have authority over them. If God is meant to be everyone's highest authority, why should women also be expected to obey men? In Genesis, God created Eve because he said it was not good for Adam to be alone and made her an companion. If Eve was created to help Adam, why do later passages teach that women should obey men instead of being an equal companion like Eve? These verses have been used for centuries to justify treating women as inferior or giving them less authority than men. That seems difficult to reconcile with the idea of a fair and loving god who values everyone equally.

Moreover, the problem of evil still doesn't make sense to me. Christianity teaches that god is all knowing, all powerful, all loving, and omnipresent. If that's true, why did he create the forbidden fruit, why did he create evil, and why did he create hell? I know the common answer is "free will" but if god knows everything, then he already knows every person's story from beginning to end. He knows exactly how the world will end, and he knows every choice we'll ever make before we're even born. It's almost like when he creates a person, he's already programmed and coded them with full knowledge of the outcome. He creates people knowing who will become good, who will become evil, who will go to heaven, and who will end up in hell. If he already knows our fate before creating us, then do we really have meaningful control over where we end up? It seems like our outcome was known from the moment we were created, which makes free will feel like an incomplete explanation.

Lastly, another thing that doesn't make sense to me is why god refuses to clearly show himself today. A common response from Christians is that God stays hidden because he wants to test our faith and that we'll meet him after we die if we believe. But if that's the reason, why does the Bible also say that one day he will reveal himself to everyone? If a future generation will get undeniable proof that God exists, then they won't be taking the same leap of faith that people today are expected to take. Doesn't that mean future generations won't be tested in the same way we are? If revealing himself in the future doesn't remove free will or make faith meaningless, then why not reveal himself now instead of expecting people to believe without the same evidence?

When my cousin and I were around 15, I went to his place for a party. He kept begging me to stay the night and was acting strange in general. I agreed, but only on the condition that we watch movies and play games, which he accepted. Staying over wasn't unusual because I've always been close to him and his sister, and we'd regularly spend the night watching movies or playing games together.

His sister fell asleep almost immediately, so it ended up being just the two of us watching a movie. At some point, he paused it and started pressuring me to have sex with him. I kept saying no, but for roughly 20 minutes he persisted, cycling between begging and getting increasingly irritated. At one point, he tried to take my clothes off and put his hand inside my pants telling me i'd love it and I had to physically push him away.

I told him it was wrong because we're cousins, and he tried to convince me we weren't blood related (which is not true). I also pointed out that he had a girlfriend and that this would be cheating. He claimed she was fine with it, which was also a lie. I was genuinely uncomfortable, and my hands were shaking.

Eventually, because it was late and I just wanted to sleep, I promised him I'd do it in the morning so he would leave me alone. He responded with "you better." The next morning, I woke up as early as I could, packed my things, and left before he even woke up. He texted me saying he wouldn't do it again and to forget it ever happened and he never tried anything again. I didn't tell anyone for years.

For a long time, I didn't consider it as SA because nothing actually happened and he didn't fully force me. Recently though, I started questioning that, and I told my mum. She was angry. I haven't spoken to my cousin in weeks, partly because my mum won't allow contact out of concern it could happen again. Despite everything, we were close before this but now I just feel very uncomfortable around him and think about what happened.

I want to know, does this count as SA, or am I being dramatic? And should I hold it against him, given that he was only 15 at the time and too young to think properly? I would appreciate honest answers.

is there anyone normal on here that doesn't take ages to reply, asks boring ass questions or ghosts within 2 day? why is it so hard to make friends these days?

like if you're gonna ghost me, at least have the decency to tell me why

also, why do people treat this subreddit like its a dating site? PLEASE stay on tinder or something

im 17 and my family has been both physically and mentally abusive since i was 3 and i feel like everyday im losing hope, i dont have the money to move out right now however in a few months im 18 and going to uni (i might move out) but in the meanwhile my parents have been getting worse and idk how to deal with it. i feel like its too late to call the cps as im 18 soon and they wont even do anything. i also dont have any friends/someone i trust to talk to this about because all i get it "theyre your parents they can do whatever they want". i just feel so misunderstood. my parents wont let me go therapy nor do i think it would help me. i feel so lost

i love movies, tv shows and cooking

so my mum never worked a job which is fine, but recently she also stopped cooking, cleaning, taking my brother to school (he's 11), which means my dad has to do most of it while also working as she doesn't want me picking up my brother. I've also been cooking everyday now when I get home from school. so she really does nothing which is guess is fine but she also starts fights with everyone (sometimes physically), insults everyone including me, my dad and my grandma. damaged mine and my dads mental health and it pisses me off that all she does is pick fights because she's bored so i yelled at her (calling her useless and telling her to get a job etc...) and she started crying and talking about ending herself and I feel bad if I've gone too far, did I overreact?
