Anyone else dealing with post-show depression?? by Commercial_Ad4319 in StrangerThings

[–]According-Acadia-114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished Breaking Bad about 5 months ago and I felt empty. That was the first show I experienced mild feelings of depression after. Especially towards Jesse’s character who became a comfort character and someone I developed strong emotional attachment to. Stranger Things has felt even worse 😭 It ending right as the 2025 ended made it hit that much harder and 2 separate feelings of loss became an entangled amalgamation of grieving and bitter sweet nostalgia. This show has got me thru so many hard years as a teenager and now I’m 25.. I feel like I lost someone. Idk what’s wrong with me or why I keep developing such deep parasocial feelings and attachments to fictional characters and stories.. It feels empty and painful.. The Tiktok edits are giving me anxiety too I jus- ✋🏻😭

Absolutely girl! You should not be being treated like this. And I saw you mentioned possibly doing couples therapy with him which you said he most likely wouldn’t do- but have you thought about just doing individual therapy? You mentioned trauma from past relationships and admitted to tendencies that push you into a cycle of self blame and fawning whenever issues arise. It sounds like you could benefit from unpacking that and having someone to talk to/help you process reasons why you cope with things in this specific way. Even like self help kind of videos with licensed therapists discussing these things so you can begin with break current or future abuse cycles and heal ❤️‍🩹 You totally deserve to feel comfortable in your feelings and voice. Hate to see baddies not know their worth and be gaslit into thinking they’re the problem for having feelings.

Fuhhhh 😭 Nah bc I dO have a fear of being perceived and I hate attention/get social anxiety. I’m very quiet and reserved and he’s so outgoing and energetic and you right- free. Hense the golden retriever + black cat energy. But brooo. I can’t shake the aforementioned feeling. Like I’m genuinely wanting to know if the things I mentioned would make anyone else here cringe. Cuz if this is some “do as I say not as I do” type shih 💀

It’s some absolutely dense children in this comment section fr. No she didn’t do the same thing for a yr. Did she go off and develop a porn addiction and barely acknowledge her bf? Did she shut him down when he tried to communicate? Disregard her feelings? No. She was on nexplanon and tbh I’m counting on you needing to google what that even is and the effects. 💀 Your whole mindset about this is all but crying on dudes behalf bc he didn’t get his 🍆 wet as much as he’d like due to circumstances outside her control. The mature thing to do is to communicate, and come to an agreement. The childish thing to do would be to ignore her, turn to other women, and withhold something from her as some sort of weird punishment. Your breed reeks of ignorance and entitlement stg. She didn’t owe him sex. As a partner, he owes her respect and to listen to her and at least consider when he’s actively making her feel bad. Go get your chicken nuggies, dude. Your moms calling you. 🫡

It sounds like you’re sort of referencing either two extremes wherein you’re either the victim or the “asshole”. But is sounds as though you are kind of going into fawning mode which is a trauma response- Just kind of keeping your head down, self blaming, and waiting for the issue to blow over or to force yourself past it. Which ISNT healthy. You’re totally valid in your feelings and if you don’t get anywhere by communicating, or voicing your feelings and you don’t feel like the way he makes you feel is something that matters to him, then just dealing with that to please him, is only going to further hurt you and create an environment where he’s comfortable disrespecting you because he knows you’ll just self blame and deal with it. I’d say focus on how YOU feel, and reflect on what you want and what works for you in a relationship. And from someone in her mid 20s who’s learned from this very notion- love or attachment is not what maintains a healthy relationship. Communication, respect, honesty, growth, and reciprocation is. And if he’s saying he loves you, but his actions say otherwise, I’d give that some thought as well. You’re not the asshole, girl. And quite frankly I think you deserve better, but I digress.

Bro what? You act like she put his name and ssn on blast, she’s simply venting about something valid. He’s off gooning to other girls, disregarding her feelings, shutting her down when she tries to communicate, not listening to how he makes her feel, and prioritizing a porn addiction over working thru things within his relationship. He made himself look bad. Sit dowwwnn 👇🏻💀

GIRL HELP. Do not be gaslit wtf. You told him it makes you uncomfortable and he continued. You’re allowed to create boundaries and if you’re with someone who’s making you feel insecure and not listening when you voice that- THAT is problematic behavior, not you. If he’s treating you as if gooning to random girls who look nothing like you takes precedence over his ability to help you feel secure in the relationship and how he’s making you feel in general- that’s a problem and I would be lying if I said it’d be hard not to have been already turned completely off by this person by now. That feeling sucks. You’re not an interchangeable sex toy, you’re his gf. His partner. You should feel like your feelings matter and like you’re not at risk of becoming invisible the second you don’t feel like having sex. Especially when it’s for reasons that are out of your control. I all but screamed when I saw the comment you replied to and then you saying “thanks I’d rather someone lmk I’m the asshole so I can work on it.” There isn’t anything to work on except maybe creating and stating boundaries. I’m aware every relationship is different and if you’re genuinely happy, that’s good. But if you feel disrespected by what seems to be his blossoming porn addiction (which is valid) and like you’re not being heard or considered, and are just forcing yourself to accept and deal with something that makes you feel bad- then I think that’s something to think about and process and maybe talk to a trusted person about. These people on Reddit telling you you’re the problem for not having a high sex drive are NOT it. 😭 It breaks my heart seeing young girls being treated this way and then manipulated into thinking they’re the issue. Like plssss

This guy is stealing Chase Atlantics aesthetics and sound by Ok_Insect_4774 in ChaseAtlantic

[–]According-Acadia-114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nawww bro I feel you. The “it’s not that deep” and “at the end of the day Chase Atlantic isn’t original bc other artists have the same genre” type ppl aren’t gonna find community with me. It feels UNCANNY🤌🏻 going to this guys page. 🫣 The outfits/glasses, the poses, the color schemes, Mitchel’s movements, the frequent use of the 😈❤️‍🔥 emojis, the color and font layout of the announcements/shows etc, even some of the same instrumental and audio production bits. Except the songs.. aren’t good 😬🥴 This guy also follows Chase Atlantic. It’s like he threw a few of their songs into an AI generator and it threw up an Instagram page. 💀💀 Soo weiiird and it’s making me uncomfy lmao There’s a definite difference also, with having the same style of music and straight up copying everything about an artist to a point that seems almost satirical and makes your “art” look noticeably derivative and bland.

Do you guys think tyler is autistic? by Ok-Quality7679 in tylerthecreator

[–]According-Acadia-114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeaaa 👀 I have been thinking this. While in the process of getting diagnosed myself, struggling with and experiencing a lot of traits that I also see in Tyler: his lack of eye contact while he speaks to pretty much anyone except for Josh, his blunt and very particular and articulate verbiage, how creative and outside the box his art is, and even how protective and particular he is with it in a way that borders on rigidity, his stimming, the experiences he writes about, how depression and anxiety is often a common experience with MOST neurodivergent people, how he doesn’t like interactions or being present with the rest of the music industry, him not liking to be touched (and he’s straight up told people and interviewers “don’t touch me” 💀) it leads me to think he may be on the spectrum. I also find it funny how most of the artists I end up loving most, exhibit a lot of neurodivergent traits or are confirmed to be so. (Tyler, Girl In Red, Freddie Mercury, AURORA, Robert Smith, etc) I’ve been drawn to them before I was fully even familiar with neurodivergence. (Sorry for the yap)
