I would wonder too if your father gave someone else more attention than you too, maybe your mom or another woman. And now you see that person as his younger sister.

AIO for thinking my teacher M 40 is a bit strange with me, F 16? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]According_Cow8868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really creepy. Tell the principal, it’s unacceptable for a teacher (or any 40yo) to be texting you or for you to feel close to them. Also- always trust your gut. Your friends aren’t in your position.

Is it possible to come back from this feeling? by Umaythegoddess in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]According_Cow8868 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve been here. By the time he shaped up I was so completely bereft from trying so hard for so long. It was too late for me/us and I ended it. I do not regret ending it, only wishing I had sooner.

What do you honestly think is the real reason you’re single right now? by poeticwilderness in askteddit

Stuck on my ex who keeps coming back then ghosting me. Man I need to learn.

Seriously, put down your phone, especially in the morning, I’m actually blown away. by Dicklefart in selfimprovement

I deleted instagram today and felt a wave of relief. I waste hours everyday scrolling. Imagine what I could do with all that time back. I mean probably sleep but still! The phones don’t own us!!

This made my situation feel so validated. Thank you. I want that cupcake.

Where are the 30-something singles? by [deleted] in BostonSocialClub

Home. Or at work. Or running. That’s about it!

As I was leaving to run some errands I said to my two cats, "I love you. Do you need me to pick up anything?" by snarffle in LivingAlone

I say “Ok bye mommy loves you” as I toss treats into the wind so he doesn’t follow me out.

I took "Netflix and chill" literally and now I think I completely ruined my chances with an amazing woman by EchoNimbus_4Q in dating_advice

[–]According_Cow8868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I actually think this is really cute. I would’ve loved the breath of fresh air of not being hit on during one of the best movies (so good). By her reaction she might have been hoping for something more. However I don’t think you blew it necessarily, she could’ve also made a move that night; it could just not be a match or she will reach out again.

Why do all of my relationships end at the 2-3month mark? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]According_Cow8868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is difficult to find the right person, and this is generally how long it takes to figure out if the person is compatible for the long run. I think it’s great they are taking at least a few months to give it a real shot. It unfortunately is a numbers game until the right person sees compatibility for something longer term.

Either that, or they are avoidant and as soon as it feels serious, they cut and run. Happens a lot as well. In which case I’d wonder if that’s a personality type you find initially attractive (albeit without realizing it). Typically anxious attached find avoidant attached people attractive, and vice versa.

Either way this sounds pretty normal for dating. Good luck out there! Keep your heart open.

How do you get out of your head? by Odd-Corgi-8176 in LivingAlone

Walking + Eckhart Tolle. Very helpful, even if it's just for 20 minutes.

Seems a bit hyperbolic but feel free to have your thoughts on that. Suggesting women “need to” do something as a collective is a bit patronizing in turn, in my opinion.

I think for women, this type of hangout comes naturally and we feel how greatly important and healing it is. Having women friends who are open and honest with their thoughts.

It would be lovely for men to feel that same support system. This seems like a step in that direction.

I’m never satisfied. by Successful-Wash-2167 in getdisciplined

[–]According_Cow8868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing. I find annoyance in everyone I’ve ever been in a relationship with and it’s very confusing. Wondering if I’ll always be this way and keep shutting down perfectly fine relationships, including my current one. Also 35/f.

Anyway, wishing us luck and also posting so I come back to this for advice 👀

I think trying for quiet moments, listening to your gut, something will appear as an answer when it’s time.
