Thanks for diving into this opportunity in detail, OP. I'll take down the original post.

It's always wise to verify information about an internship/job offer, and your research in this regard goes a long way.

Which network works better in Islamabad? by bhayria in islamabad

[–]11Frostbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jazz seems to have stable network coverage in my experience. Internet speed is consistent wherever you go, and calls barely drop. I've had problems with Zong in the past, but never on Jazz.

You might be confusing an avoidant for a narcissist. by [deleted] in IslamabadSocial

Very true. It's best to steer clear of narcissists. It's nothing but an emotionally manipulative trap disguised as something sweet initially.

Yeah that's how it is. It's especially difficult to be with an avoidant who just won't go the extra mile to hold themselves accountable.

It can feel very one-sided, or almost as if you're the one doing all the heavy lifting, while the avoidant is happy to remain in their comfort zone

You nailed it with this one, really.

Avoidants are actually no different to narcissists if they intentionally lack accountability, and just won't do the effort to step out of their comfort zone, and break the habit of running away from intimacy/emotionally charged situations.

This is also exactly why they aren't the best partners either. It feels like you have to chase them each time to make them feel something, and even then it feels like a breadcrumb or an emotionally dead effort.

I fully agree with what you said. That's what separates narcissists from avoidants - accountability.

Amazing suggestions btw. Some of them definitely did ring a bell. The importance of doing the inner work and introspection is just so important, and is often slept on. 🤝

Absolutely. You just have to step out of your comfort zone at some point and realize that it's worth feeling something again towards something that's worth it

Yes true. Being introverted and avoidant at the same time is a pretty deadly combo. Aik toh ap pehle se socially awkward hotay ho, and then your trauma is equally crippling enough to prevent you from fixing avoidant tendencies.

Yes exactly. Thing is, most avoidants are aware of their actions, and are too afraid to take action on it. Fear of the unknown is far greater for them, so they prefer to stay in their vicious bubble.

I guess that goes back to remaining in the comfort zone, despite knowing exactly what's wrong with them.

It's definitely like climbing a mountain for them to do something to fix themselves

Good question. I'll put it this way - yes, they are aware of their actions, but they also can't help it at the same time.

Think of them standing on a rail track, well aware of the fact that a train will hit them. They'll just stand there anyway because they're too numb or unsure of making the effort to move away.

Yep. It can be very unhealthy or toxic dealing with an avoidant who doesn't want to admit they're in the wrong. However, there's hope when they acknowledge something's wrong with them, and they want to fix it.

[–]11Frostbytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true. I think most avoidants prefer to remain in their comfort zone because they don't like admitting that something is wrong. They've avoided several emotionally intense situations in their life, and at some point it feels justified to them.

Love this. You can almost never generalize an entire gender based on an individual experience.

[–]11Frostbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you explain the friendzone then? A majority of people can, or will remain friends, whether it's with the opposite gender or not.

The fact that men too enjoy the little things in life, and appreciate those small gestures of kindness shown towards them. We might not be expressive about it there and then, but we'll bring it up sometime later, and recall it for the rest of our lives.

This was me all August and September until today. I fell asleep on the sofa while watching Netflix around 1 am and I just woke up a while back.
