    I worry about dementia and Alzheimer's. Had to take an additional training course for work about that subject and it is just heartbreaking.
    I confess my dad has dementia. It's really heart breaking. It hurts when he can't remember who I am.

    sometimes I just go along with whoever he thinks I am that day because it seems to make him happy.

    A spare heart. <3

    Yes keeping things positive and stress free and non argumentative is a good way to approach that type of thing.

    Thats very true. :) Plus another spare heart. <3

    I confess I don't think I can handle any more emotional pain. I am well past what I thought was my breaking point. I just want to disappear for a while.

    You'd be amazed at just how much "more" you could actually take.

    Hmmm, I consider cute about a 5.5, but to me, handsome is more like 7.5-8.5. Perhaps how a person uses it depends on if someone uses it as a name, just as "baby" or "sweetie", or if someone is genuinely complimenting you.

    I confess I despise being called "handsome".
    Like nails up and down a chalk board. I have always considered it a "you're cute" comment. Like "hey you're a 5.5-6.5-ish but there are better options out there."

    To further compound my spite for this label the first time I let a woman call me this openly she broke my heart into a million pieces.

    So now every time someone calls me that it reminds me of her and reopens a wound.

    The end.

    Well *kitten*....how's stud muffin work for ya.. :#

    Yup. Always cute or handsome. Never hot or holy *kitten*. I hear ya loud and clear brother.

    I always say good-looking or handsome or "you look great" as a compliment
    I would never call anyone hot or hot as fork or sexy unless they were a celebrity or stranger or, or someone I know (but behind their back, lol) or my significant other 'cause I wouldn't want them to feel sexually objectified...I'd wouldn't want offend them or make it awkward

    Oh, sad sad. Telling someone they look handsome is one of my favorite compliments to give men (whom I have the right rapport with). I don't think it's on the same level as "cute". Cute is for boys, handsome is for men.

    Hearing handsome = "You're good looking for a not hot guy."

    Ducky was handsome.

    No....do I need to?



    And you are quite handsome (sorry-nails on a chalkboard) and have a great smile. Someone who is hot AF is intimidating and seems "out of reach". IMHO :)

    I confess I sometimes wonder if by responding to people on a thread called "true confessions don't judge" I am kinda judging, just by posting a reply and giving my opinion about their confession.

    This confuses me a bit, lol. I am now looking up the word judge and I can't decide. I think it may be a bit judgey, even tho I don't mean any harm.
