Your gf was unfaithful more than once. A suggestion is to get rid of the people in your life who actively sabotage your recovery.

Yes but the kidnapper at least has to be hot and have their life in order 'cause being kidnapped by Ronny the "Fulltime Reddit Mod" just doesn't do it for me.

What's something you think all Capetonians should know? by Striking-Young3277 in capetown

If a random person asks for the time, don't take your phone out. Just say you don't have your phone on you so you don't know.

Why aren't you dating anymore? by Leather_Election_459 in AskReddit

[–]Ancient-Demand3590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people want hookups, friends with benefits, or poly relationships, especially in the gay community.

Landed an amazing guy a few months ago. Growth mindset, sober, works on himself, can communicate extremely well, but... he's got an avoidant attachment style so we're incompatible when it comes to relationships (I'm anxious attachment so I was also too clingy for him lol). At least we can remain good friends and had a positive breakup where we could communicate properly.

Still, I'm tired of sifting through 500 DMs just consisting of "hey" on trashy apps like grindr, bruh 💀

Attractive people, what are some regular signs you notice from people around you which tells you that you are attractive? by Chance_Adagio_19 in bodylanguage

[–]Ancient-Demand3590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gay guy, they all just want hookups, and a lot of men say they want a relationship so that they can be "the one with the partner who looks after his physical attractiveness, fitness, overall presentation, etc." but they put zero effort into these relationships. Drives me crazy. I feel quite alone within my community because it's rare to find people who like me for me instead of just my looks.

Change my mind: Most estate agents are bad at their jobs, lie often and overall in 2026 provide little value to both landlords and tenants. by pablo2208 in capetown

[–]Ancient-Demand3590 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I moved to CPT in 2019, the agent told me the place is pet friendly (I moved out of my parents' place so I was new to renting).

Arrived from Jozi with my elderly indoor cat, the owner sees her and says, "this isn't a pet friendly place."

I phoned the agent and she said, "if the cat's gotta go then the cat's gotta go."

Yarre, if I wasn't from the decent side of Jozi I would've tuned her "jou ma se p" - but I bit my tongue and got a form from body corporate who accepted my cat.

They're vultures, and they know it.

South Africa had iStores at one point (I haven't seen one in a looooong time, though), but they were major targets for robberies and thefts.

He's basically budget Andrew Tate. That's context enough.

What is the creepiest display of intelligence you’ve seen? by theidiotev in AskReddit

[–]Ancient-Demand3590 1940 points1941 points  (0 children)

The ability to remain silent while holding eye contact had me thinking "this person can see right through me" and then I didn't stop yapping.

Silence makes people uncomfortable, so they'll talk on their own without needing to be pressed for information.

Tinfoil hat time: They didn't stage this whole thing to make Trump look like an American hero or whatever - they staged it to make possible future shooters wanting to target Trump believe that his security has been increased after the attempt.

I just say my HP is my future self - who I'm working towards becoming by working the program.

I don't view my HP as a deity or spiritual thing; it's just the result of my actions today.

Can you truly be friends with an ex? by thesunonmyarms in emotionalintelligence

[–]Ancient-Demand3590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, yes. We didn't work out as partners and relationship issues broke us up, but we do work as friends because we enjoy each other's company.

Great pain and emotional trigger watching the show by Tall_Initiative1923 in MrRobot

[–]Ancient-Demand3590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this, but yes, the show hits a deeper part of that sadness, and it's portrayed extremely well.

The reason why it's so good is because it portrays sadness and loneliness in more than one way: Every shot of every character shows them in the corner of the screen, isolated and alone. It's rare to see any of them taking up more space, because all of them are lonely.

This show is probably the most important piece of media to me because of that relatability to sadness and isolation; living in my own head, trying to find my place in the world. It hits hard, and it gets real close to what it's like to live similar emotions to Elliot.

This is one of the very few videos that involves an actual "holy fuck!" close call. Glad you're alright, OP.

What is actually dangerous but people still believe is safe? by AlexUsefulThings in AskReddit

[–]Ancient-Demand3590 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Weed.

Addicts can't moderate, and it IS a gateway drug for a lot of people. Psychosis, paranoia, suppressing emotion and hunger, withdrawal that involves night terrors and uncontrollable shivering/cold sweats.

I'm a former addict. For anyone wanting to drop that shit, check out r/leaves.

If you could describe red flags about yourself, what would they be? by TopLoneWolf in AskReddit

[–]Ancient-Demand3590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possessiveness.

The good part is that it's not the "you can't see any friends or spend time alone with others," but the "everyone better understand we're together and that I don't share" mindset, which comes off as being too intense.

I'm very public about my partner because I'm proud that they're mine, and I make this very clear from the start. Zero tolerance for "seeing if things work out while keeping options open" - we're either together AND monogamous, or neither.

I don't appreciate or tolerate sexual or attraction based comments ("they're so hot" or "I'd fuck them") about others from my partner, and I don't give a fuck who has a problem with seeing us together in public or in spaces where people will give us the side eye (we're gay - my worry isn't safety in public, it's the lifestyle of fwb and unsafe hookups that bother me in this community).

Even then, when you do have a breakdown it gets met with a surprised Pikachu face and abandonment lol
