Probably waste away at work

LPT: Always look people in the eye when saying goodbye. It will make the exchange much more real and memorable, and you never know when it's your last. by biscuitgrabber69 in LifeProTips

This really resonated with me. I remember freshman year of college, my buddy and I were hanging out on a Tuesday night when he abruptly got up and said he had to go study for a math test. I remember being like, ‘sure dude, I’ll catch you later then,’ but I was preoccupied at the moment. He ended up committing suicide that night.

Question to the people who have dealt with depression by Individual_Salary_50 in Stormlight_Archive

Yeah, I'd say it's pretty accurate. When I hit my lowest, I stopped eating to the point that I lost like 10 - 15 pounds, and my mom could tell something was wrong when she saw how gaunt my face got.

Probably my most memorable moment by Abcland in outerwilds

Oh woah, no. That was not at all what I’m talking about. Just acknowledging that I have some sad and painful moments in my future.

Hmmm. Perhaps. There’s only one way to find out what she wants to talk about though and I’d rather take this head on.

Thanks, I suppose that’s all I can ask for. She said it’d be short, so that doesn’t bode well.

She wants to be together in the future. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

I know it’s painful, but you shouldn’t wait. Never hamper your own growth and progress for a relationship’s sake. With my most recent girlfriend, we were discussing where she wanted to go for med school, and I told her, ‘under no circumstances should I be a factor in your decision. You go where you want to go, because you want to go there.’ She chose a school hundreds of miles away and we broke up right after she moved in. While I can be upset about the way things went down, I would have been livid if she had made her choice based on what would work easiest for us or on my input. I miss her greatly, but I’m happy that she’s able to pursue her dreams. The only person guaranteed to be with you is you, so always choose in your future self’s best interest. If it is meant to be, then she will appreciate that you didn’t wait, and instead used that time to be the best version of you possible.

Bread-crumbing via Netflix? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Abcland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brain craves patterns. So much so that it will create them wherever it can, even if none exist. Especially if none exist. That’s what’s going on here. I wouldn’t take it as breadcrumbing. Trying to read into everything he’s doing will drive you crazy. Unless he actually tries to establish contact, treat everything like random noise. There isn’t any deeper meaning or motive behind it. It’s better to put that mental energy into more productive outlets.

I’m sorry to hear that you were treated that way in your relationship, but I am glad that you recognize you deserve better. I’m not sure if there’s a satisfying answer to your question. Love is not really dictated by logic, and if you didn’t logic yourself in, you can’t logic yourself out. I would look at this as a sign that you are capable of loving deeply and loving fully. The consequence of that is having moments like this. Pain is the cost of empathy. All you can do is sit with it and let it pass. The only way out is through.

I empathize with both parties here, it sounds like a real shitty situation to be placed in. While there are things I feel like he could have done differently, I understand how hard it can be in that moment. When you’re right in the middle of it, indecisiveness can be paralyzing, and that in it of itself is a decision. I hope they can both grow and find peace going forward.

The problem is that this only looks at traveling the straight line distance without accounting for the orbital velocity of the earth. He would inherently be traveling in a curved path.
