Gaf is no friend.
Gaf would sell their mother to have a pun quoted a couple of times.

I don't get the mistreatment of OP. Everything was in accident and he's a victim. OP, explain your situation exactly as you've told us and I'm certain people in real life rather than gaf will understand. Go on now, break a leg.

I lol'd.
Listen GAF is just trying to teach that popularity on a forum is more important then ones own mother. What better life lesson is there to be taught . Gaf is just getting you prepared for the real world like a good friend.

Makes sense why you got junior'd.
Take some time away and really get yourself help, OP.
Mental illness is no joke.

I was honestly just looking for advice. She's telling people all this stuff about me and it's disconcerting. The fact that it's true kind of overtook the the thread.

You started on the completely wrong foot asking for advice on rumors, when those rumors happen to be true. That is why the thread devolved into what you see now.
Now asking advice on how to handle people talking about the crappy shit that has happened, that would be better.

But I mean, its true. It's not a rumour, unless she's embellishing the story.
Can i ask you an honest question?
Are you the type of person that ask for advice but never listens to it and just shrugs it off until they hear what they want to hear?
Isn't this literally every person who posts any sort of "looking for advice" type of thread on GAF?
I'm sure the dog you killed thinks this whole thing is hilarious as well

I would look into posting things like this or things similar to your previous threads in the mental health OT especially if you want serious advice/help.
my own personal advice is to prioritize getting help for your mental illness, disconnect from outlets that keep you in any way connected to your ex or any other negative bodies, disregard rumors (fact or fiction in this case) entirely.
Focus on growth, op. Don't hold onto negative shit. Rise above it and be better. You can do it and you know you can.
You know what your 100% correct. I withdraw my question

By the way, why put the dog down for a broken leg? They confuse it with a farm animal?

She couldn't afford to fix it I guess.

It depends. A lot of the actual advice on this thread has been good. The advice on my akaicon thread was mostly people misunderstanding on what/when/where things happened so I didn't really take most of it into account.

FTFY.... best proceed with caution.
Sorry OP but I have a hard time believing they put the dog down because of a broken leg.

Well I just received it. Said it was a culmination of a few of my threads.

No, no, no, OP, do NOT explain exactly what happened. Especially given the bit that you couldn't afford to fix the dog's leg and went with the cheaper option of euthanasia. Even more so with complaints about "threats of sexual violence, expressions of a desire to rape, requesting sexual favors, attempts to damage interpersonal relationships of others for personal gain, boasts of illegal sexual deviancy, and I promise you, this list doesn't stop there" floating out there. You really don't want to get in to a five minute discussion about your animal husbandry.
"She's making it sound worse than it was. I was playing with the dog and it accidentally got injured. The vet's recommendation was to put it to sleep. Obviously, I feel horrible about it."
Then shut up, you've explained yourself fully. Don't give them the opening to ask for more information. If they do push for more information, just say, "I feel horrible about the accident and would prefer not to talk about it." and then go all Iago ("From this time forth I never will speak word.") on them. It's a horrible memory (even if it's not all that horrible to you, pretend that it is,) and you have a right to not have to re-live it.
And while I'm on the topic, if someone brings up your fetishes in a negative light, adapt that phrase to address their concerns. "Look, that was meant to be private, it's something that I only do with fully consenting and willing partners in our own private bedroom."
Yeah, because you made it seem like the comments came out of nowhere and she was just talking bad about you to be spiteful.

Concerning your akaican thread.
People will only respond to the information you give them.
tearsofash
Member
I think I'll take this advice.
But did the dog consent to be lifted by its legs? This is important to decide if OP was roleplaying here or not.

From OP's thread about animal abuse:
OP, I'm telling you this to save your life even though you wouldn't pay to save a dog's: Don't let Pein read this thread. Don't let Pein find you, OP.

YOU MONSTER!!! "Don't stop" and "You make loving fun" are beautiful songs. "Songbird" is boring, I'll give you that. Good thing you learned to appreciate them. What a fantastic album, definitely their best, along with Bare Trees and maybe Behind the Mask.
A shame. Your threads were always...interesting to read.

OP you really need to be telling this all to a psychiatrist and not an internet forum. if you feel the urge to make a new thread please consult a professional.
I wouldn't bother with the latter. If being juniored doesn't dissuade her from wanting to make new threads, nothing will.

My grandparents live in town, but they don't approve of me being transgender and don't want me contacting them.

Poor dog. Man, I just want to cry. Sorry OP...I'm siding with your ex. You killed a dog by mistreating it. I'm sure you didn't mean to, but you did, so there's not much you can do about it other than just explaining that you're not good with animals, and that you're striving to improve.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I kind of sympathize with you OP, beyond the fact that you're trans like I am one time I was handling a friend's guinea pig and accidentally dropped it when it scratched at me---luckily it was okay, but I felt horrible for weeks afterwards. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you felt even worse about what you did, though I do think picking a dog up by the legs sounds odd.
But while it's admirable you're rolling with the punches about your previous thread, which I think a few people are being a bit rude bringing up, I don't think a thread about killing an animal is a good place to joke about being into sadism.
