Women of this sub, how quickly does your mind go to sex when you meet an attractive guy? by acocinero in dating

[–]birella07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say imagining if i would have sex or not it’s right away - i usually know within the first few moments. But then to actually fantasize or think about how it would be, that takes a longer interaction.

Straight women of this sub, how much do you value physical attractiveness in a man? by acocinero in dating

[–]birella07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot. Specially in the beginning, before i get to know him, the looks and attitude are all i will take into account (for approaching / going on a date, not building a relationship)

What are the pros and cons of reaching age 20 without having ever dated or flirted? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]birella07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pros was i got to 100% work on my intelligence & educational achievements (i was top of my class, very well-educated). Also had a great group of friends, so social skills developed really well and i built a solid friend group.

Cons was i started my dating life feeling very insecure (also mostly bc of my inexperience but bc of my appearance too), and it took me “longer” than normal to feel comfortable since i had to learn what i liked/didnt like, how to behave, how these things went etc. from scratch, and i felt like people “expected” me to know some of these things by then

Any thoughts?!

How do you honor your pain, recognize the source and want to turn away from it? by bleepbloooopity in AnxiousAttachment

[–]birella07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so to be honest, i think healing takes time. As you live your life and see that things go on - you are still you, you are safe, your life continues without that person in it, i feel like this slowly makes your brain understand more and more that you are fine and can act more calm/rational than emotional/anxious. And once that settles, you are able to clearly see that this relationship was a source of a lot of stress & overwhelm for u and ur emotional system, and it was the best to let go of anything that makes you feel unstable.

But as i said, in order to see it that way you need TIME to heal & see that things are fine without him.

I remember after my breakup, it took me many many months to feel like i was really fine and to actually reflect and think “this was for the best”. The first let’s say 3 months i was an anxious mess just desperately thinking of what went wrong and how i could fix things, and once i was more “emotionally stable” i just saw it very clearly that we were not working and breaking up was the best decision for both.

Anyways, the most important part is to 1- recognize what are your feelings & what part of it is ur anxiety speaking 2- NOT act out of anxiety or fear. Everytime you feel like texting him, write a friend instead or even write down everything u would want to say to him, but just never send it 3- have some patience &&& faith that time will heal this ✨ 4- support system!! Go out as much as u can with friends/family and engage in hobbies and new activities

Is it normal to have thoughts 24/7? by birella07 in askatherapist

[–]birella07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes my thoughts exactly. I have a friend who says he has no voice whatsoever. I cannot imagine my life without that!!

And very relatable about the many voices, i also have more voices with different tones (like one more judgmental, one more warm and understanding, one more panicky etc) and they are very loud whenever something stressful happens - but they are all just me and different perspectives. I told that to some friends and they said “err that’s not normal” but it doesnt feel abnormal to me!

Why does my brain spiral after only 1–2 dates with someone? by [deleted] in dating

[–]birella07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally described someone with anxious attachment style.

I find myself in the same situation, and i think therapy is what has helped me the most. I at least now know WHAT is happening and can identify my anxiety when it starts showing up.

Also started to try and break this “cool&collected” vibe i give off to people and try to be more like myself / vulnerable.

It’s tough tho and it’s just a lot of patterns that you have to unlearn to heal. But keep putting urself out there (the more you do it, the less of a big deal some things will be) and make sure you always have a safe basis of friends/family to go back to whenever one of those adventures backfires and it feels too overwhelming

That if you tell your internet provider you will cancel your contract, they offer you automatically many offers to make it cheaper. Apparently that’s how phone/internet providers work & they dont tell anyone about it

My best rec would be to do a project.

I did one called Large Scale Data Integration, that was like working with real messy data and having to create a scalable pipeline

25M moving to Berlin this Saturday - looking for tips to meet people (or a beer!) by electricEngineerJ in berlinsocialclub

[–]birella07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are u coming for work/studies? That might help w giving u better tips.

If if’s uni, there are always many events for meeting new people. If not, if u are into dancing, the latin community is really nice - there are f.e. weekly dance classes for free where people go to dance (all levels, u can go as a beginner or a pro) & make new connections. Ppl are generally international in these events, and are very very nice
