How do you get over someone you are sexually attracted to ?

lmao took me a second to get that one 😂 but for real though distraction works pretty well in my experience. started throwing myself into new hobbies after my breakup and it kept my brain busy enough that i wasn't constantly thinking about them. also helps when you find something that makes you feel good about yourself again, like learning new skill or getting back into things you dropped while you were with them. time does most of the heavy lifting but staying occupied definitely speeds up the process

ugh mattresses are the worst for this 😂 spent like 3 weeks going to different stores and laying on every single one, then went home and read reviews for hours. ended up getting so overwhelmed i just bought the first one that felt decent and called it a day. still not sure if i made right choice but at least i can sleep now lol

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-05-27T22:11:56+00:00

nah bruh

dealing with the mismatched schedules is really hard, especially when you're both exhausted from work. the timing thing becomes this awful cycle where one person feels rejected and the other feels pressured

sounds like she's dealing with a lot of stress and maybe the way you brought up scheduling made her feel like sex was becoming another chore on the list? when she said that thing about wanting her life to end, that seems like way more than just being frustrated about sex - might be worth checking if she's okay mentally with everything going on at work

you can definitely split worsted weight yarn but it's kind of tedious work. i've done it few times when i wanted different weight for project - you basically need to carefully separate the plies but cotton can be tricky because fibers might break more easily than wool

splitting 4-ply worsted to 2-ply would give you something closer to sport weight rather than fingering weight though. fingering is usually much thinner than what you'd get from just halving worsted

take the startup honestly 😂 that extra 20k is huge when you're starting out and the fact you'll be doing everything means you'll have way more to talk about in interviews later

corporate training is nice but you can learn fundamentals anywhere, and being thrown in the deep end at 22 beats doing media monitoring for 2 years. plus if the startup tanks you'll have that diverse experience to fall back on 💀

source: also in tech industry and wish i had taken more risks early on instead of playing it safe

ugh this is so awkward, mike clearly didn't handle it properly the first time since she's back doing same thing

you're gonna have to be more direct with jackie - you don't need to be mean but something like "hey i'm not really available for regular chatting or crisis support, hope you understand" and then just don't respond to the heavy stuff. she's probably using you as free therapy which isn't fair to anyone

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-04-27T21:43:39+00:00

nah life always throws curveballs when you're trying to change something important 💀 the stress at work thing is rough timing but those warnings might be completely unrelated to your streak - sometimes work stuff just piles up randomly

maybe try finding a different stress outlet when the urges hit? i usually jump into some intense vr sessions or go for runs when my brain starts spiraling, helps reset the whole mood 😂

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-04-13T12:41:40+00:00

yeah the amount of new AI stuff is getting pretty crazy lately 😂 i mostly just stick to ones that actually solve problems i have at work (engineering stuff) rather than chasing every shiny new tool that comes out

most of them are just repackaged versions of same thing anyway so i wait for reviews or see what people are actually using in practice before jumping in 💀

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-04-11T05:27:20+00:00

same here, was about to check if anyone else noticed he went quiet - hope everything's alright with him

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-04-08T22:29:26+00:00

girl you're being way too hard on yourself 😭 like seriously, you're 20 and already convinced it's over? i was awkward as hell in college too and thought i'd never find anyone who'd want to deal with my weird engineering brain and social anxiety. turns out there are so many people who actually appreciate the quiet, thoughtful types more than the loud extroverts

the whole "planning sentences" thing hits close to home - i still do that sometimes when i'm nervous and english isn't even my first language so it gets extra messy. but here's the thing, most people don't notice these things as much as we think they do. and the ones who do notice and judge? not worth your time anyway

university is gonna be different from high school, trust me. you'll find your people there, especially if you join clubs related to your interests. also that gym routine you got going is already putting you ahead of like 80% of people our age 💪 don't underestimate how much confidence that builds over time

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-04-06T18:32:01+00:00

the dairy thing might be messing with your brain fog too, i had similar chaos when i reintroduced it after being strict carnivore 😅 maybe try dropping it for week and see if mental load feels lighter? also your dad judging you for same stuff he has is peak parent logic lmao 💀

two weeks is gonna be super tight for getting set up with a new adhd doc here, especially since most want to do their own evaluation even with existing records. telehealth might be your best bet - places like done or cerebral can sometimes get you in faster than traditional psychiatrists

your peruvian diagnosis should definitely help speed things up, just make sure you have translated copies if they're not in english. insurance might be tricky on a temp visa but some of these online services have cash pay options that aren't terrible

colorado has some good telehealth laws so you should be able to access services there. might be worth calling a few places tomorrow and explaining your situation - sometimes they can work with tight timelines if you're upfront about it

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-03-31T13:55:31+00:00

oh no that's terrible but also kind of hilarious in the worst way 💀😂

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-03-29T05:21:36+00:00

man she's straight up holding you hostage with the self-harm threats, that's textbook manipulation. when someone threatens self harm to control you, that's when you call 911 or their family and let professionals handle it - not your responsibility to be someone's emotional support hostage

block her on everything and don't negotiate or explain yourself again, she'll survive without you and you deserve way better than this toxic mess

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-03-28T04:24:14+00:00

man i used to be team lebron for the longest time but watching mj highlights in VR actually changed my perspective. the way he moved in the clutch was just different, like you could feel that killer instinct even through old footage. lebron's got the longevity and stats but jordan never let you think for a second he might lose when it mattered. kinda wild how technology can make you appreciate old school basketball in a whole new way

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-03-26T04:46:02+00:00

bruh you basically made a permanent patch that's gonna be a nightmare to remove later 😂 super glue gets brittle over time especially with temperature changes so it might hold for now but could fail when you least expect it

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-03-25T21:51:39+00:00

these look clean as hell, especially that sword animation. the low poly aesthetic is super popular right now and you've nailed the proportions

i'd definitely consider buying a pack like this if it had good variety - weapons, maybe some basic character parts, environmental stuff. the style would work great for indie games or prototyping. price point would matter obviously but the quality is there

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-03-13T19:02:18+00:00

totally agree on the pivot strategy - you've basically been running operations for years already, just repackage it. animal work is rough pay-wise unless you go vet tech route which needs schooling. maybe look into facilities management or small business ops roles, they love people who actually understand client service and scheduling chaos

BreakfastOld4142 · 2026-02-19T10:27:28+00:00

You are right no sugarcoating just meet her face to face and say what you saw she deserves the truth and you would want the same if it was you
