I am the youngest of 6 kids, and I'm 21 years old. I was raised in very tradition Sunni Islam. Among many other restrictions, I started wearing the niqab at 14, and I'd been a hijabi since I was 4. I was homeschooled until ninth grade, at which point after much begging I was allowed to attend an all girls school.

Here's some other restrictions in my household:
\- Fully veiled when going out. Absolutely no pants, dark abayas only
\- No western movies/tv shows/games (watched behind my parents back)
\- No phone until I turned 18 (got one behind their back)
\- Not allowed to talk to boys for any reason
\- No music, ever
\- Arranged marriage at 18
\- Mom always kept track of my period (prayer is restricted during periods in Islam)
\- Basically didnt celebrate anything except Eid, like no birthdays, Halloween, Christmas

I moved away at the age of 17 years old, four years ago. It was always my dream to do so growing up. I never really believed in Allah as a young kid, even. I am the first in my family to leave Islam. My two sisters eventually did fight back a little (one divorced, one did not get married off at 18) but they're still Muslims. My brothers are deeply traditional Muslims and I have no contact with them.

I applied to colleges behind my parents back, and I now identify as mostly atheist. I don't really believe in a higher power, but I also do not have any strong beliefs in what happens after death. Feel free to ask me anything about my upbringing, its effects on me, how I'm doing now!

i’m in uk & i offer only select sexual services… i specialise in impact play.

I was traveling Thailand as a backpacker at the time. I was ordered to do a drug test during a night Police raid at the bar, which I refused, only to be arrested and forced to be invasively searched and tested at the station. I did not use any illicit drugs.

I tried it for the first time when I was 16, now I'm 19 and I had only 1 year of sobriety between 17 and 19.

I've done one of these before, but I'm bored and feel like talking. So, three years ago I was walking on the sidewalk to a bus stop from work when I was struck by a vehicle. The driver sped off and to this day has never been caught. I was living in a major city at the time and had to be taken from the hospital back to my small hometown by my father, who I didn't recognize at the hospital (I recognize him now, of course). Doctors told me that moving back to my hometown would actually be beneficial in terms of restoring my memories. I have a lot of memories that I remember "recovering" in sort of an a-ha moment, when I taste certain foods, see people's faces, see certain things, etc.

I know amnesia is rare, so I'm willing to answer any questions anyone might have for me.

Ask away

Yes she did it. Yes she deserved punishment. No she is not evil.

There was nudity, but nothing hardcore.
Ask me anything

invasive/possibly insensitive questions are cool but nothing sexual as im under eighteen 👍

I worked at a fairly busy Ross for four years. I mostly kept to the fitting room, stock room, and floor with only sometimes being on the register. You can ask me anything about working there and I’ll answer to the best of my abilities!

Lotta news recently about SCOs being dropped from retailers. I wouldn't know the larger industry trends or the corpo purchasing habits, but I do assist with selling and am the lead NCR Voyix FastLane technician/programmer for my company, as well as being generally around and knowledgable about our other Point of Sale systems.

If you've ever had questions, ask away!

flatulence

I'm an open book. Nothing is off limits, and if you prove me wrong I'll let you know.

It’s 1 AM, I’m way too caffeinated, and sleep is currently not on the agenda.

Figured I’d hang around Reddit and answer questions until I finally crash.

Hi reddit!

We first kissed at 15/16 and haven't look back since. Got married a week ago.

Love to chat. If you want you can ask questions to only one of us specifically or have us answer toghether.

We don't mind answering any questions!

Pretty much what the title says. I take care of the home and kids while she takes care of the money.

Ive been off H since like 3 or 4 years.

not sure exactly how long as counting days in the begining made it harder to stay off it so I never really kept track.

Ive had problematic relationships with a lot of substances but full blown addictions have been to H, alcohol, coke - at different times.

an explanation if you don't know what that is: essentially I feel little to no attraction like any description of aroace but out of concious will I can fall in love/feel attraction or lose attraction, it's like a light switch "how?" idrk I can do that in the same way I can move my hand I can sorta just..do it idk there's not much more to it. Actually for fun I like to fall in love with people and or characters because of the dopamine I can get from it.

I can't even begin to comprehend feeling attraction without choosing to, it's like trying to make up a new color.

It's even to the point of making me struggle with believing when people say they don't choose who they feel attraction too the whole trope of "ugh I can't believe I'm falling for that idiot!" doesn't make any sense to me, like just stop liking him??? I try my best to understand though.

(this sucks ik I'm one of the worst people to ask for an explanation) this microlabel is incredibly unknown so I'd like to hopefully popularize it a bit more as I literally cant even find a description for it when I search it, and there's only one page I currently know of that brings it up.

I really hope this reaches others who may feel the same way or a similar way, or maybe someone willing to help make it a bit more popular so I don't sound like I'm lying with every word I speak whilst describing it.

It took me a very long time to figure out it even existed.

I've found one other person who is similar to myself in a comment section from 12 years ago so thats the whole community welcome ig. Despite common belief we aren't mythical creatures and actually exist </3

I am very open to answering questions the best I can! (even if I'm pretty bad at explaining my feelings)

(link for the only instance I've seen it be brought up https://lgbt.fandom.com/es/wiki/Usuario_Blog:Andrea_Roma/Glosario_de_orientaciones_sexuales/rom%C3%A1nticas_(poco_conocidas))

i did not describe this very at all and i would love to have a wiki page for this because i genuinely cant describe ANYTHING to save my life

I'm 32, he's 67, we've been together for ten years. To cover some FAQs, i made more than him when we met, and five years in i convinced him to be a homemaker so i am the sole breadwinner. he has two kids from a previous marriage, one a couple years older than me and one a couple years younger. We were friends for a year before we got together, have and had a lot in common, aligned values and the same life goals. I had a good relationship with my dad before he passed, which was after i got with my partner. AMA :)

From peak of life to lowest in 3 months. The day I gave up on life is the day I was shown what the point of it all is and why it's a gift to be here. I was gone in that realm for years. 15 minutes Earth time. I spent months traveling as a spinning ball of energy to get there. Once there I was met by a guide. I was taught how it all works, I was allowed to ask questions, I was given time in the Hall of Knowledge, I met God, and I was introduced to my Mother who died when I was two.

I don't really know anyone who relates to this personally but I'm a masochist who's sex repulsed

I’m so stressed today. I’ve been consistently stressed lately. I’ve gotten most of my work done. Just one more lecture to look over. I’m so anxious that I’m in pain. My chest really hurts. I’ve decided to take a step back and go a drive so I can relax before the big day. I’ll answer messages when I park.

My interests are Christian theology (I’m an atheist), modern US history, back to the future, stardew valley (I haven’t played in a hot minute tho), Minecraft, baking, Disney (movies and parks!), Ghost the band, and writing poetry. I’m doing my senior honours dissertation on southern Baptist vs racism during the civil rights era. I also live in Scotland.

Ask away lovely people

Been living here since Tuesday. Still getting settled. AMA.

Currently sitting in my bathroom on a break. It’s my birthday party today (my bday is on Monday), and my friend pulled out of making my cake, so I made it myself last night whilst also trying to hand in an overdue assignment, tidy, do my washing, and eat. I only got home at 8pm, so it was a long night. I didn’t finish the assignment. I’ve been up all day finishing the cake, tidying the house, buying food (I don’t have enough so will need to order a dominoes), and figuring out who’s coming. I’m hardly getting any responses so I don’t even know who’s coming to my party. It’s in 2 hours. Im so stressed. I’m hoping my lecturer doesn’t mark my assignment until Monday so I can try and get it done tomorrow. My actual birthday is on Monday. I don’t have any food for my family coming over then either. Going to shower now and then get back to it.

Ask me anything.

Preferably to to my mind off stuff

I have diagnosed OCD, unfortunately this disorder isn’t known for what it is (in general, there’s constant stereotypes)

This disorder is mischaracterized by many mental health professionals too

Ask me anything, I want to spread awareness of how this disorder actually is, not constant perfectionism

I’ll try answering all questions, even those that could be months from now
