Think I just speedran destroying both my relationship and my closest friendship all in the span of one afternoon. AITA?
Hey. I’ve never posted on Reddit before, but I’ve hit a new low today. So let me know if this is formatted weird or violates guidelines or whatever.
Anyway, I (15M) flew to California to visit my girlfriend (15F), who I’ll call E, and my best friend (15M), who I’ll call W, for spring break.
For some (lengthy) context, W and I have been best friends since kindergarten. When we were in middle school, W went missing (long story) and was presumed dead until he was rescued about a week later. During the week W went missing, I met E. E had escaped from an abusive situation that I legally can’t get into - so she lived in my basement, and helped my friends and I find W. But when W was found, E disappeared (another long story.)
E ended up coming back and was adopted by a man (old as fuck M) who later went missing and was presumed dead. So E was then taken in by W’s mom (45F), who I’ll call J. They all moved to California together, as E and J were both heavily mourning H (who I believe J was dating at the time.) W and E are the same age, so J calls them her twins, even though they hardly look alike at all.
A lot of our friends argue that they could be biological twins, saying that E is quite literally the female version of W, and vice versa. I don’t see it.
Anyway, the summer before they left, my friendship with W was pretty strained. We got into a fight, and it was fucked up. W and I rarely fight. Ever. We’re best friends. We don’t fight like that. The fight started because I wanted to spend time alone with E, and W said I was ditching our friend group, and that I was destroying everything, which really pissed me off. I said it’s not my fault he doesn’t like girls, and then W biked away and seemed really upset.
Looking back on it, I was being an asshole (this is not what I need clarification on so don’t even fucking start in the comments). It’s just that sometimes, I have a hard time balancing both W and E. Like I said earlier, I met E when W was missing, and then E went missing right when W came back, so this was the first time I’ve had to balance both my best friend and my girlfriend, which is quite literally impossible for anyone to do. Sometimes I feel like when things are good with W, things with E are bad, and then it switches. It’s just hard for me to carve out affection for both of them, which I feel like is normal for any guy in his first relationship.
So when they both moved away, I got pretty depressed. I cannot call E because of government surveillance (don’t ask) but any time I called W, I got the busy signal because J was working this telemarketer job, and also because I’m pretty sure W didn’t want to talk to me. We made up from our fight before he moved, but I feel like we weren’t back to normal. I wrote E a bunch of letters though, because she’s my girlfriend, and I didn’t mail anything to W. I figured it would be fine.
Then I got to California, and W was moping and rolling his eyes the entire day. Every time I looked at his lips he was frowning, and I know that because I look there a lot. I was frustrated because W seemed so mad at me, and I didn’t know what I did. I hate fighting with W, because we’re friends, so it was bothering me.
I told W he was being a douche, because (as I said earlier) I was completely distracted by how often he was rolling his eyes and sighing. I couldn’t focus on anything besides W. I even tried to make a very witty joke about these ugly socks I bought at the roller rink to lighten the mood, and W didn’t even crack a smile. He usually likes my jokes, so I knew something was off.
Anyway, W told me I seemed like I had no interest in anything he had to say. I said that wasn’t true, because I actually really want to know what’s going on with W. The rest of our friends at home are great and all, but I feel like our hometown isn’t the same without him. I felt like I had no idea what was happening in his brand new life in California.
For example, I read in a letter from E that W, who is a phenomenal artist, was working on a painting for someone he likes. I was surprised to read this, because W is kinda shy, and never wanted to talk about girls or anything with the rest of our friend group back home. But W was so mopey all day and acting like he didn’t want to talk to me, so I didn’t ask about it. It also pissed me off that W didn’t tell me about his stupid crush in the first place too.
W told me he was upset that I didn’t reach out since he moved, and was mad that E had a book of letters from me when he didn’t have any. I reiterated to W that it’s very different because E is my girlfriend and W is my friend. It was probably the worst fight we’ve had in a while, and super awkward.
On the other hand, I thought E was totally good all day, but then she hit one of her friends in the face with a roller skate and broke her nose. Turns out, that girl (15F) who I’ll call A, was not E’s friend, and was bullying her pretty horrifically, and E got to a point where she was so upset that she snapped. I’ve been bullied my entire life for my appearance, nerdy interests, and overall awkwardness, so I was definitely upset for her and sympathized, but I had no idea E was being bullied. She never mentioned it to me. W then said I was batshit insane for not noticing the struggles E was having, and he got even more mad at me.
I was kinda shocked to see E break that girl’s nose, so I didn’t react as calmly as I probably should’ve. W, his brother, and his brother’s friend all comforted E. They told her that A would be just fine, and I was honest and said that she didn’t look fine. Because she literally didn’t. What else was I supposed to say?
Now, E is mad with me, as is W.
The following morning, I tried to discuss the events at the roller rink with E, and things got worse. I tried to empathize with her experience being bullied, and she said I couldn’t understand what she’s going through. E said she doesn’t think she belongs anywhere, which made me really sad, but I didn’t know what to say. For some vague context, E feels pretty isolated from other kids our age. She has some incredible abilities I can’t mention here that make her different from others. I told her these abilities make her a superhero. She never really seems to enjoy hearing that, which I don’t get. I genuinely do think she’s the most amazing person I’ve ever met.
She asked if I still loved her, and I asked her who said that I didn’t. E and I have a very affectionate relationship. We have been chided by a lot of our friends back home for PDA, so I don’t know who would’ve said anything other than that our relationship is great. I was confused why E would think I didn’t feel that for her, and reminded her that I do say that phrase. At least, I have before. Once.
E insisted that I do not say it, then brought out a stack of letters which I had signed with “from” rather than “love.” I told her this was ridiculous.
Now E is mad at me for the way I acted at the roller rink, and for not being able to say “I love you.” W is mad at me both for not reaching out to him and for my treatment of E. I feel like I keep losing both of them, and they are the two most important people in my life.
But seriously, AITA here?
EDIT: Stop asking why people go missing in my hometown, and shut up about the government.
u/Allthegoodusersaretaken • 12y
It sounds like both E and W needed you and you weren’t as present as you should have been. E needs to hear that she is loved and W def needs to know you still care. You sound like you care about them both a lot, you just need to show it. I’m going to say YTA but potential to be NTA.

u/grandtheftautumns • 12y
Have you thought at all about maybe why you can’t give affection to your best friend and your gf at the same time? It sounds to me like you put them in the same place in your brain, which isn’t normal. I’ve been dating my bf for 2 years and everything’s been completely fine with my best friend. It’s concerning that you can’t balance a romantic relationship and a friendship in your life ngl.
u/emotionalcheater64 • 12y
“Every time I looked at his lips he was frowning, and I know that because I look there a lot” there’s just no reason to phrase it this way
u/flufffanatic • 12y
NTA. That’s a rough situation. I’m sure you can work things out. Maybe tell W you thought he wouldn’t want to hear from you, and that’s why you didn’t reach out. It sounds like he obviously wanted to stay close after he moved.
If you can’t say I love you to E, try and find a different way to show it through acts of service or other words of affirmation. Saying ily is scary. It takes time. You’re good.

UPDATE - Think I just speedran destroying both my relationship and my closest friendship all in the span of one afternoon. AITA?
Thanks for the feedback on my last post. Here’s what’s happened since then.
W and I have agreed to be a team again. Best friends. I felt shitty for not reaching out to him, and admitted that I was afraid I had lost him or something. I thanked him for knocking some sense into me, and told him he didn’t need to apologize, because W didn’t do anything wrong. I was really happy we worked things out. It’s like this massive unbearable weight gets taken off of my shoulders whenever I’m with W.
W and I went on this roadtrip afterwards (long story, buried a corpse together lol) and he gifted me an incredible painting of our D&D characters (our whole friend group is really into that game). He explained that my character was leading the charge against the dragon threatening our party because I’m the ‘heart.’ I realized that without W and E, I felt pretty useless, like I had lost both of them, and therefore lost my purpose. So hearing that meant so much to me.
W said E commissioned the painting from him and told him what to draw (which is kinda hilarious, because E never seemed into D&D, so she did a great job of keeping it a surprise) and it was her idea for me to be the heart. W said E will always need me, and that I make her feel like she’s not a mistake. This gave me the courage to finally say ily to E when we reunited, and I think we’re going to be okay.
But for right now, E, W, and I are back in our hometown, because there was an emergency involving our friends we needed to attend to. I can’t give away a lot of details, but there was a natural disaster that placed our entire town on lockdown.
We’re going to be totally fine, but E and I still aren’t talking a lot. One of our friends, who I’ll call M, (15F) was injured in the disaster and is currently hospitalized. M and E are best friends - E had tried to save her, so she is taking all this really hard. I’m trying to comfort her. Our relationship still isn’t entirely fixed, but that’s definitely not the main worry right now.
With the lockdown, W is going to be living in my house for the foreseeable future. I’m excited about it, because we’ll get to spend some time together and hopefully keep patching things up. He still seems upset, and I think we’re both really worried about what this disaster is going to mean for our friend group.
On the bright side, H is back. Turns out he was kidnapped in a different country, and J flew out there to rescue him. E is so happy to have her dad back, and I’m really relieved for her. I’m lowkey scared of that guy so I was like shocked to see him again.
Anyway, everything with W is good again, and my relationship with E is pretty much perfect. Thanks for the help.
EDIT: E and I have since broken up.
EDIT: It was mutual.
EDIT: Fine whatever she dumped my ass is that what you people wanna hear Jesus fucking Christ

It was incredibly romantic. Can’t give a lot of details, but we were in a pizzeria. I was still kinda freaking out about it (and about other things I can’t get into without probably getting sniped by the government), but W was reassuring me, rubbing my back, and whispering encouragements in my ear, so I had the strength to say what I was supposed to. I’m very thankful he gave me that much-needed courage to fix my relationship.u/flufffanatic • 12y

I don’t understand what’s so funny. Jesus Christ. While we were with E in the pizzeria, I was still afraid to say it. But W reiterated (while comforting me) that I was the heart, so I was able to say it. It was a nice moment. I don’t understand why this is so amusing to you miserable people.

My best friend is avoiding me. Help?
If you’ve seen my (16M) account before, you probably know that I have a slightly rocky past with my best friend (16M) aka W. Ever since a natural disaster placed our town on lockdown, W (who was briefly visiting after moving to California) has been staying with me as he has nowhere else to go. This arrangement was totally good with me, because W and I have been best friends since kindergarten, and we’ve always been pretty comfortable in each other’s spaces.
But now it feels like he is constantly avoiding me.
I was hoping that when he moved in we would just share my bed, but he took the basement like, right away. He rarely comes upstairs, and never wants to hang out in my room. The other night, we were watching a movie with our friends, and I reached for his hand. It’s not weird, that’s just something we used to do sometimes. I thought W liked knowing that I was there for him, and that holding his hand would make him feel comfortable, but he instead just scooted over to the other side of the couch and I was kinda confused because we’ve never made things weird like that before.
We did fight recently (spring break), but we made up and agreed to be best friends again. Yet I still feel like things are tense. W spends a lot of time with his siblings, and we barely hang out unless we’re with our full party.
Did I do something wrong, or are we just growing apart? Any advice on how I can get him to spend time with me like we used to?
EDIT: I’m straight. How is that even relevant here.
EDIT: Do I have to spell it out for you fucking people holy shit I’m not gay

Plus, I felt bad that he had to sleep on the crappy trundle bed in my basement, and wanted him to be comfortable. Is that some sort of crime? Jesus. W also gets these night terrors a lot, and my basement is creepy as shit, not to mention far away from me, so I wanted to be nearby and ready to help if he needed me.u/mwtdfyfgate • 11y

Maybe W is just under stress from the tragedy in your town you were talking about. He might also feel bad that he’s taking up space in your house. Maybe reassure him that things will be okay, and tell him that you are glad to have him around/that it’s not a bother for him to live in your home. I’m sure a little reaffirmation and a kind heart to heart with W will go a long way.

I think my (16M) best friend (16M) was flirting with me, but I can’t tell.
My best friend and I were walking in this field together, just joking back and forth, but I was getting kinda flustered by what he was saying. Which is crazy, because we were just talking like normal. I’m trying not to read into anything because I’m a little confused with myself right now (don’t ask, I’m not gay but like I said, I’m slightly confused) but I thought for a second that he might have been flirting with me.
I won’t get into specifics (he doesn’t use Reddit, but some of our friends do) but I thought I was picking up on something from him. So naturally, I started leaning in. Then he put his hand on my chest and literally shoved me away from him. Then I felt weird about the whole thing and stomped towards the woods just to get the hell out of there. I’m worried I overstepped or something. Our friendship is strong, but I don’t want anything to ruin it.
Did he shove me because he saw I was leaning in, or am I delusional? Or was he flirting?
u/rainbowships7 • 11y

Did I (16M) fumble my best friend (16M)?
My best friend, who I’ll call W, just came out to a large group of our friends and family, and also this random 56 year old man who hangs around us sometimes. I guess I wasn’t super surprised to hear it, but I had never suspected before that he was gay. Guess I didn’t really think about it much, but in retrospect, he never wanted to talk about girls or kissing or anything like that with the rest of our friends.
Anyway, W stared directly at me when he said he used to have a crush on someone. I’m used to W looking to me for reassurance during difficult times like these, because I’m his best friend, so I was trying to show my support. But was he looking at me because I was the crush, or was he just needing reassurance from a friend?
W said he got over it because he knows his crush isn’t like him, which I’m pretty sure means he thinks the guy he liked was straight. Which is true if he was in fact talking about me, because I am straight. I actually dated W’s adopted twin sister for several years (I lowkey fumbled that too but that’s not relevant here.) Anyway, we’ve never talked about our sexualities though, so I don’t know how W would know what I am. If that makes sense.
W also could have just been talking about/looking at our other friend (16M) who was sitting right next to me, because he’s honestly a good looking dude, so I can’t be sure.
That isn’t where I think I fumbled though. W and I were talking a bit later and I apologized for not being as good of a friend as I should have been when it was clear he was going through all that heavy stuff alone. But I botched the whole thing because I kept stumbling over my words, and everything I said came out wrong. When W asked if we could still be friends, I replied, “Friends? No thanks.” Then I paused for dramatic effect and said, “Best friends” which I thought was solid and also pretty clever.
But now that I’m thinking about it, if I actually was W’s crush, I probably just fumbled. Can I come back from that?
Let me know if this posts. I’m surprised I have any reception down here. Or up here. No idea where I am.
EDIT: To clarify, I’m not gay, but if W had a crush on me, I would definitely like to look into that further.
EDIT: Oh what? A guy can’t be curious anymore? He’s my literal best friend and you people don’t know shit. Enough.
EDIT: Can’t read comments right now. I’m in an alternate dimension the actual color of piss so just hold the fuck on

If you were his crush, he probably would have confessed to you directly, and not in a group that large. If you aren’t gay and you’re not interested, let it go. Don’t drag out his pain just because you’re curious. Not worth it.

UPDATE - Did I (16M) fumble my best friend (16M)?
Hey, sorry for no update. Dropped my phone in that alternate dimension I was talking about, and it shattered and got all radioactive and shit. No idea why I brought it there in the first place. Anyway, I forgot my Reddit password and had to guess it like a hundred times before I could get back into my account.
My friend group went through a lot the past couple years, and one of my closest friends (17F) nearly died that night, which was really scary. My other friend (also 17F) was in a coma for a long time and just came back to us, so I’m trying to spend less time on my phone and be present.
Not addressing any of the comments here. Decided not to look into it further. Just grateful to have my friends all together again.

Me (20M) and my best friend/roommate (20M). I recently discovered that I am homophobic.
For context, my best friend and roommate, who I’ll call W, and I have been best friends since kindergarten. We’ve been to hell and back together, and I wouldn’t trade him for anything. He’s the best guy I know, a super talented artist, and genuinely the nicest person you’ll ever meet. We ended up at the same college and got an apartment together. We’ve lived together for almost two years now, and it’s been great.
Now, I’ve known W is gay since we were 16. I was kinda surprised when he came out, but didn’t have any problems with it then. I’ve questioned my own sexuality a little bit before, but since I’ve gotten older, I know I’m straight. I think W might have had a crush on me when we were teenagers, but that was forever ago and I never asked about it. Didn’t seem like my business, and I wanted to focus on being best friends.
Regardless of this, W and I are totally comfortable around each other. We joke about it sometimes and pretend to flirt with each other. But sometimes with the fake flirting, I have a hard time telling what’s just for the bit and what’s not. On some occasions, it feels very real to me, which I definitely don’t mind at all, but I can never tell if W is kidding. Either way, I don’t feel threatened by it or anything because we literally grew up together, and because I’m *decently* secure with myself/my masculinity/all that other crap.
Jesus Christ. Anyway.
Thing is, W’s been through a lot. He had a horrible childhood. He deserves to be happy, more than pretty much anybody I know. I want him to be happy, especially because we grew up in a super conservative small town, so he should get to live his life however he wants in college. I’ve been told before that I’m too protective over W, but I’m that way with a lot of my friends. I just worry about W a lot, and I like to keep an eye on him and make sure he’s okay. Our friends say I’m being obsessive, but I don’t think that’s the case.
W is an attractive guy, I’m not gonna lie. More than that, he’s genuinely very pretty, like, gorgeous - which I say both as his closest friend and as someone with functioning eyeballs. He was really quiet when we were younger, but now that he’s made friends in art school, he’s come out of his shell a little more. He’s always been super kind to everyone, so people often mistake that as something else, because literally anytime we go out (which isn’t really my scene, but sometimes he brings me and I go) there’s always some random dude trying to get his phone number, which I thought was crazy because I didn’t imagine W would be interested in that stuff at all. I was kinda weirded out, but it wasn’t a problem then.
It became a problem when W started bringing dates to our apartment. I know it’s not my business what he’s doing, and he’s super discreet about it anyway, like, I usually never hear or see anything.
But one time, I came home from class early and there was this guy on our couch with him. While he and W were just kissing, I freaked out. I didn’t even say anything, but I’m sure I wore the shock on my face, and I felt kinda sick. The guy (who W told me he wasn’t dating, which kind of made things worse for me, because if they weren’t dating, was that guy doing all that? Like did he even take W out or anything?? Kinda wanted to ask but I was already pissed off) left, probably because of how I reacted, so I felt guilty about it.
I could tell W felt awkward/annoyed about the whole thing. He thought I wasn’t gonna be home until later, and I told him that he had every right to do whatever in his own apartment, and apologized for my overreaction and for being (probably) rude to the guy he was with. And it was fine between us after that.
But the way I reacted has me panicking. I never thought I would be a bigot, and I’m pretty disgusted with myself to be honest.
I’ve walked in on people making out before. Two of our friends had a phase where they physically couldn’t stop sucking face because they had been separated for a while (super long story, apocalypse, coma, et cetera). And yeah, that was gross, but it was still funny. I’ve also walked in on one of my friends making out with my ex which was immensely awkward, but even then we still joked about it later. But I couldn’t laugh it off when I saw W making out with that guy. I’ve reflected on it a lot, and realized it’s because I’m a homophobe.
I really don’t want to be homophobic. My older sister literally has a girlfriend and I’ve never had a problem with them. But the reaction I had to W and that guy was so visceral that I now know for a cold hard fact that I am homophobic. I’ve been looking online to try and find ways to get better, but I’m still just so repulsed by the thought of W and a guy that I can’t shake it.
If you look at my post history, you’ll see that I’ve posted about W before. We’ve had arguments in the past, but our friendship has never been better since getting to college, so I’m afraid my sudden case of homophobia is going to ruin that. But I can’t control it. I overheard W on the phone making plans for a date with some dude this week and I broke out in hives all across my arms and stomach.
I’m ashamed. I want to be a supportive friend, but I’m so physically averse to anything related to W’s love or sex life that if I start thinking about it, I get sick.
It’s starting to affect our friendship. W usually never blows off our plans, but he’s been going out a lot more and rescheduling our plans to hang out. He’s started spending the night out, and when I asked him why he wasn’t coming back here, he said “thought you don’t want me bringing a guy here” which was true. I really don’t want him bringing anyone back to our apartment because I’m not comfortable with it at all. But even when he goes out, I find that I’m still upset.
Any advice on how to fix this? I’m hesitant to tell my sister that I’m homophobic now because I think she would genuinely shoot me dead, and so would her gf. And I don’t want to ruin my friendship with W, or damage his romantic prospects.
Help.
u/lauralostland • 8y
Are you sure the weird nauseous feeling you get isn’t just jealousy? If you don’t have a problem with the other queer people in your life, you’re probably not homophobic. You might just be jealous of W or maybe jealous of the guy he’s with for taking his attention away from you.
u/MWpaladin • 8y
Yeah, maybe. I guess I get jealous sometimes, but I still get plenty of attention from W when we hang out so I don’t think it’s that.u/Blueyellowfan • 8y
Are you disgusted by W himself or is it just the guy he’s seeing?u/MWpaladin • 8y
Of course not. I can’t imagine myself ever being disgusted by W. I just resent who he’s seeing. It’s still normal between us, and hanging out with him makes me really happy. It’s only whenever he leaves or brings up somebody he’s seeing that I get disgusted.u/lauralostland • 8y
Like you said, with W having all that trauma from your guys’ childhoods, you might just be looking out for him. Maybe you’re upset by him seeing someone because you’re worried W’s going to get hurt. You might just be too protective, and definitely need to back off.u/MWpaladin • 8y
That makes sense. Thanks.u/Sweater_Paws • 8y

OP, I’ve looked at your post history and you’ve been homophobic before. This isn’t new. In this post from several years ago, you said you told W “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls” which is objectively homophobic. You’ve never treated him right so don’t act like this homophobia of yours is “new” in any way.
u/newcokeisstillgood • 8y
Nice internet sleuthing! How’d you dig that up past his nine million posts? Def a bad look but I don’t think you’re taking the context into consideration, Northern_Gothic. Clearly W wouldn’t live with the guy/still be his friend all these years later if he was actually homophobic I feel like?
u/_gh0stinthemachine_ • 8y
Honestly, you need a fucking therapist. There’s no good reason for you to be so disgusted by your buddy seeing other guys, especially in this day and age. If you aren’t going to support him, then you don’t deserve him as a friend, period. You gotta get on board or get out. He can do whatever he wants. You don’t get to decide what he can and can’t do just because you’re pals. Seek rigorous therapy, OP.

u/podracingfan • 7y
Wait, what happened?
u/MWpaladin • 7y
I talked to my sister about it. She was encouraging me to go talk to W, and I wound up spiraling and spewed out that I’m afraid I might not be as straight as I thought, and scared I have feelings for him. She honestly didn’t seem surprised. We talked a lot about what to do while I tried to wrap my head around all of it, because I didn’t think I was gay or anything. But I probably am and that’s an issue for another time tbh idrc.Anyway, after talking it out with my sister, I went home and was honest with W. I said I’ve been upset over how I reacted to him seeing somebody, and that I was afraid I was going to ruin our friendship. I just kept talking and talking and talking, and I was pacing all over our tiny shitty apartment, and W was telling me to calm down. I was panicking that we would get into another fight, because fights with W always suck ass, and I blurted out that I’ve been super confused, and that I thought I was homophobic but I was really just stupidly jealous. No idea what happened. I just sort of word-vomited everywhere and it was embarrassing. W was laughing, and he seemed kind of nervous, which is crazy because I haven’t seen him be that way in a long time.
He assured me that we would always be best friends, which is usually such a big comfort to me, but it just made me upset, and I told him I want us to be more. Pretty sure I said I'm in love with him or some shit which is batshit insane probably, but I genuinely don’t want to remember what I said. Anyway, I learned that I was right, and W did have a crush on me when we were younger, but it was much deeper than that. I couldn’t believe he never said anything, and that I never really noticed.
I could tell he was nervous, because we both tend to ramble on when we’re anxious, so I blacked out and just kissed him while he was still talking. Never kissed a guy before but I realized I had wanted to for a really, really long time.
Honestly, I still don’t know how to be brave about this at all, but it’s been almost a year of us being together and I’m so stupidly happy.
TL;DR: Turns out I don’t have a problem with other guys kissing W, if that guy happens to be me.

Am I too into my boyfriend?
Throwaway account because my friends are assholes. I (24M) know this sounds weird, but I have been with my bf (24M) for nearly four years now, and I think I’m way too into all of it.
Since we’ve been together, I’ve always found him attractive, but recently it’s been all-consuming. I feel like I can’t even be in the same room as him without staring and stumbling over everything I try to say. I’m well-aware that he’s wildly out of my league. Lately I’ve been getting super nervous around him - not in a bad way, just in an excited way, I guess?
Sometimes I’ll get lightheaded and have to sit down if he even looks my way, which is dumb we literally fucking live together. He’s all I ever think about. I’m getting even more obsessive and I don’t know what to do about it. Things have gotten to a point where I am struggling to find the words to describe the sheer level of adoration and obsession I’ve hit, and he probably thinks I’m fucking crazy.
Is this normal? Is this a medical issue? Do I need to do something? I tried looking for help online and couldn’t find anything, and over my dead body am I going to my family/friends with this concern. Thanks.

I did, but I don’t think he grasped the full scope of it. He’s in Denver for this art exposition this week and I miss him so much that I want to put my forehead through drywall. I don’t think he understands just how badly I want him, and it’s killing me.u/Red_pandas_88 • 5y

Hi. No kids. Closest thing to that is a cat who fucking despises me and only listens to his other dad.

Pretty much anywhere. People I see in bars. Graffiti. Ugly billboards. My friends. Bad music. People on the train. Other people’s art. My cat who hates me. Whenever I’m stuck, I always have someone to bounce my shitty ideas off of, so we can sift through the pyrite together, which is always helpful.But I still get most of my inspiration from a painting I was gifted when I was 15, and I’m pushing 30. I pass by it every single day, but I notice something different about it each time I see it. I’ve milked that painting for all the magic it has, yet it keeps finding more.

Hi! Big fan. How did you get started? I’m trying to get into it but it’s hard to find the time. I am a nurse and realized in my forties that I wanted to change my career. But I feel like it’s way too late, especially since I didn’t go to college for it. Advice on getting started? Do I need to go back to school?
AMA | u/MichaelWheeler • 6mo
Hi. I technically started writing when I was really young by creating D&D campaigns and making up stories for my friends. I went to school for it, but you definitely don’t need to do that. Honestly, it’s ridiculously expensive and you can learn a lot by just trying it yourself instead of listening to some old guy wax on for hours about stuff you’ll never use.I got stupidly lucky right out of college when I signed a really shitty contract for literal pennies on a short story. But to be serious, a lot of it is luck of the draw, especially in the fantasy genre, and you have to be able to deal with a ton of rejection and keep submitting manuscripts until something sticks. I agree that it’s extremely hard to find the time, but if you’re really passionate about it, you’ll learn what you can sacrifice to make it work. When I was in school, I did a lot of writing on napkins and stuff like that while I was bussing tables. The writing in question was horrible, but it’s always bad when you get started. Just make it bad, then you can make it better later. And it’s never too late to start, you still have plenty of time. I would love to read whatever it is you end up making.
u/magefan_24 • 6mo
Kinda similar, but why did you start writing?
AMA | u/MichaelWheeler • 6mo
Some bad stuff happened and I was too lazy to kill myselfAMA | u/MichaelWheeler • 6mo
I’m kidding, that was a joke. Should not have said that. Forgot I was on the professional/businessy account. For the record, that was a joke. Uh anyway, the real answer is that writing was a good outlet for me to organize my thoughts when I was younger. I also started because I had a lot of people in my life who inspired me, and I wanted to keep them around by writing about them. While the characters have all grown and changed from how I originally outlined them, I still see them as my friends. Which is corny and gross but true.u/Lucas8BallisLife • 6mo
