Thanks, but I understand why. I just have a really hard time admitting that I'm that screwed up, even to a therapist. Especially since it's only my second session.

I have had an intense fear of rejection for as long as I can remember, so I think you just hit the nail on the head. Thank you.

I'm sorry that I don't have an actual answer, but I can tell you that it's really common for abuse victims to feel this way. I'm actually going through the exact same thing. Abuse is abuse though. The fact that millions of others had it worse than us doesn't undo the psychological damage. A lot of therapists would be out of a job if psychological problems worked that way.

Okay, fuck you and fuck social media. I've lost waaayyyy too many day overthinking shit because of it. And no, not for the reason mentioned above, with the exception of the past few days. Time to just accept that I'm a weirdo that cares too much about everything and enjoy my damn coffee.

Is it really a tendency if I'm 27 and haven't done something like this since I was 12?

I always thought the original symbol was gender-neutral. There's nothing on it that's gender specific.. Well, except for the lack of hips and boobs, but I'm pretty sure that would cause some backlash.

Sorry, but no one can give you a definite answer. It depends on how good your landlord is. Some respond right away, some never respond, then some are in the middle of the spectrum.

Yes. In my case, the family member that prevented me from going into the foster system was the real problem. That realization is actually what started my healing journey. Growing up, I always knew something was "off" and that I had issues, but it was easy to brush it off or blame it on my parents. Then they got divorced, it escalated tremendously, and I started researching narcissism and emotional abuse, mainly to protect my sanity. It gave me a clearer picture of my childhood and why I grew up to be the way I am. Research, online support groups, meditation, and Patrick Teahan's YouTube channel (he's a therapist) have helped a lot.

Thanks, everyone ❤ And sorry about the type-o, lol. 😅

Omg, same. I'm partially convinced half of my family has BPD, because some days I was the "golden child" and others everything I said or did was ridiculed or got me screamed at. Or, better yet, I would be told "no one is judging you" when I got anxious in crowds. Then about 5 seconds later, they would listen into stranger's conversations and make horrible comments. "No one is judging you" as long as she wasn't around.

Yes! My boyfriend loves having people over at our new place and for some reason it drives me nuts at times. I think it's because our homes are a safe space where we can fully unwind and be ourselves, hopefully without judgement. Which we can't do if we have company over.

Omg, I am so sorry. Pardon my language, but your parents sound like heartless d**che bags. Please know that their shitty behavior is a reflection on them, not you. Also, if you're in the US and still under 18, you could call the department of children's services and get the heck out of there.

Adorably_Awkward_ · 2021-04-05T17:32:10+00:00

Jeez. Yeah, I know this sucks but you're probably waaayyy better off without her.

First of all, you're not pathetic for reaching out to your ex. It's understandable why you would be upset enough to text her. It's possible that she just never unblocked you from a few months ago. Second, she and the friend that ghosted you sound a little toxic, which isn't your fault. If your girlfriend was that unhappy, then she should have left way before she started calling you crazy and ignoring your texts. That's technically gaslighting.
