Regardless of our age or life experience, we all want our privacy. For some people, this wasn’t an opinion growing up.

She and her boyfriend have saved up, and now they’re going on the vacation of their…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In any healthy relationship, your feelings should be respected. You should be able to put clear boundaries where needed, and to share your feelings, however vulnerable, with them. If you feel like you can’t even speak up about your basic desires, wants, needs, and feelings, then there’s no point in continuing the relationship. It will never go anywhere if you feel like you’re silenced, or your feelings aren’t respected. In this Reddit thread, i…

It’s a common coping mechanism to deflect one’s wrongdoings in an argument and not take responsibility where it’s due. In this…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Entitlement seems to be a personality trait at this point. Growing up with jealousy and envy towards a sibling is never a good feeling, but ultimately the person needs to be mature and handle their own life instead of focusing on someone else’s.

In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman whose wedding was ruined by…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. There are certain things in life that we feel possessive about, and rightfully so.

Our belongings and our spaces should never be intruded upon, no matter how much audacity someone has. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who lives his stuff, his privacy, and wants people to respect hi…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. As children, sometimes we just don’t know any better. I truly believe some children are just born to be naughtier and more mischievous than others. Regardless of how much a parent may try to reel their kid in, make them behave, and teach them lessons, the kid may rebel anyway. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman whose daughter has a 16-year-old grudge against her cousin, and OP supports it. The cousin let the daughter’s c…
