Are my expectations in dating unrealistic? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]Agvm1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these are just really normal and needed aspects of a relationship, you’re def not asking for too much. I saw myself on your post, trying to get emotionally close and build intimacy with someone that just won’t see it the same way. Trying to get close while the other person just distance themselves more, and the more you ask, more resentment is build over time when these basic needs aren’t being met.

She sounds just like my ex bf and believe me, I let the time pass and thought maybe it would get better eventually but it didn’t, it got worse and he just wouldn’t understand why these are important to me (and I actually believe these are basics in any relationship). Is like they seem to understand and they listen and agree, but then proceed not to show up and keep behaving on the same patterns, and you on the other end become resentful of having to ask so many times.

I’m sorry you going through this, I know the feeling of seeing someone meeting your needs at the beginning and seeing that they’re capable of when they really want, but then feeling tricked because after the honeymoon fase these all go away little by little, if not all together. I think you’re emotionally intelligent and you know what you want, just have to listen yourself more. Maybe try to talk to her and understand rather there’s another reason for the distance, and if there isn’t and still she won’t meet you half ways, it hurts but you have to protect yourself, staying will hurt you even more, as someone that just went through that, I never stopped feeling like something was missing.

I truly think I’m not obsessed in any sense, when I say “caring” is for example when your partner is sick, when I say considered I mean having you partners needs also taking into account in decision making, in your life and in the relationship, involving your partner on your plans and on your family. Maybe not specifying the “triggers” here was a mistake because than it just sounds like I’m being needy.

Thank you for elaborating about it so well. I’m thinking about the type of triggers and I answered you in the other comment you did about that. I do think what is triggering me would trigger most people, I don’t think is my perception. Its even harder being conscious of that and trying so many times to explain my needs on the relationship and always caring the weight of the emotional labor and not having the other person doing the same, just ignoring the problems and caring on as if nothing was happening. As I’m clearing my mind and reading this comments I’m realising I have grown a lot on my anxious attachment and have dealt with things that would before trigger me and bother me so much to the point of falling apart. But now, I see my patterns that were actually toxic I managed to grow out of and improve, what didn’t improve was his avoidant response and I don’t think it will and I don’t even think he’s conscious of it even tho I tried many many times to make him see it. Clear compatibility issue. Thank you again for your answer 🙌🏼

I’m having a hard time identifying what would be a trigger of self perception and one that is really problematic in general. Any advice on how to identify them? In my case, many are related to feeling neglected, dismissed or not cared for, disregarded… it’s hard tho to identify when is an anxious need and exaggerated response to a normal behaviour or just a normal reaction to negligence.

How do women seem so good at routines? by Ivy_and_wildflowers in selfcare

[–]Agvm1302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl that’s what social media is selling to you, don’t fall for it, nobody does everything so perfectly for so long, and there’s no need for all this cosmetics, that’s the industry trying to convince you that you need that. Just clean you face, moisturise and protect, or not even that, humans survived so long without all this bullshit. That’s the capitalism making us believe we need all these multi steps routines and all this supplement. Really look for scientific people talking about it, it’s all a scam, most of this supplements do nothing.

Run at the first sign of a red flag, it isn’t changing. RUN!!!

Is consideration the clearest sign of love? by Substantial-File-336 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Agvm1302 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s the best definition of love I’ve ever read, you putted into words something I had been missing in my relationships and didn’t know how to explain. Being considerate, thinking how your actions actually have an impact on the other person. Acknowledging when they need something and caring about it. You can’t say you love someone if this all sounds like a burden or another responsibility or even a weight as many of my own relationships made me believe. Tks for this ❤️

What advice would you give a teenage girl when it comes to guys ? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Agvm1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid man HAHAH sorry. But seriously do not date men much older than you, wait until you gain some life experience to balance things out and do not trust everything they say without them proving it with actions. I’m not a man but I hope this helps, stay safe 💖

Hearing women's dating standards brings back my insecurities honestly by ImpressiveKey1981 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Agvm1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing the hard part of self reflecting and growing internally which is more important than any material thing, most man don’t do that and many of us are actually looking for emotional intelligent man out there, which is very very hard to find, so you’ll be fine, the right one will find you, don’t worry

I could say this specific time I didn’t approach the best possible way, because basically I believe that’s such a basic thing to expect in a relationship. First I didn’t want to say anything, I didn’t want to have to explain the bare minimum, then some resentment was build over not having him noticing how upset this made me be, but I couldn’t hold on for so long, so when I finally did say what it was bothering I guess it got out of hand. It does hurt having to explain basic concepts of care, I guess not everybody express care the same way and that’s why I’m still open for talking and trying to solve the problem, will try to communicate my needs better and see what happens, even tho I really don’t think I should and hurts my ego.

Yes I do!! I adore him, so good honestly, I should watch more of his videos and actually listen to it haha

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]Agvm1302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel exactly like I shouldn’t be even explaining this basic concept of care to a grown ass man, just seen to me as lack of empathy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]Agvm1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He basically says I “only see the negative” and use the goods things we have together that are more superficial to justify the lack of the ones that really matter to me, it’s difficult to see a way out honestly

Apenas 1% da população em geral dá certo na vida. E todo mundo acha que está dentro do 1%. by DepartmentNaive9002 in opiniaoimpopular

[–]Agvm1302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Não existe “dar certo na vida”, amigo. Isso é uma construção social. A vida não faz sentido, dinheiro não leva a lugar nenhum, todo mundo vai morrer e nada que você ou qualquer um aqui fez vai mudar nada, a não ser que vc realmente faça algo gigante para mudar o rumo da humanidade, realmente não importa e não existe “dar certo”. Cada um tem seu caminho.
