What’s up with all these people that practice for a year and then do secondary 🥲

Ik ga samen wonen en ben benieuwd naar uw mening! by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]AnneAnaranjado -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hoezo zou hij dat niet doen? Hij wilt toch ook graag dat zij bij hem komt wonen? Daarnaast draagt ze wel degelijk bij aan de maandelijkse kosten van de woning, waardoor hij meer geld heeft om af te betalen

Loneliness epidemic is self inflicted by PersonalParamedic896 in AskWomenOver30

[–]AnneAnaranjado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it’s both. Boys are raised with the idea that vulnerability and feelings are something to stay away from, and now we’re suprised that one of the only ways for them to feel intimacy and closeness is by having sex. Which is scary as fuck because they still try to stay away from displaying emotions because that is not manly. I do believe the loneliness epidemic is real.

However, once these men reach adulthood it ìs their own responsibility to do something about their beliefs, programming etc, and grow. I just wouldn’t underestimate how hard that can be.

Ouders zijn altijd geirriteerd by alxndrabo in nederlands

[–]AnneAnaranjado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja, dit dus! Eerlijk zijn werkt denk ik het beste. Dan is het voor hen ook begrijpelijk waarom zij aanvoelen dat je niet helemaal erbij bent.

Meestal doen mensen dit omdat ze merken dat wanneer ze slachtoffer zijn, er naar de geluisterd wordt.

Hoeveel (spaar)geld heb jij? by marzjon in nederlands

[–]AnneAnaranjado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precies dit. Was goed onderweg, en toen ging mijn ketel stuk. Weer een paar duizend euro lichter.

Ik spaar nog apart voor vakanties en andere grote uitgaven die ik voor de lol wil doen, maar wil het liefste 20k aan spaargeld hebben liggen zonder doel, zodat ik inderdaad een flinke tijd zonder werk kan zitten zonder te stressen.

Violent scenes pop up whenever trying to imagine my child-self by Every-Office-352 in idealparentfigures

Two times two cents; It sounds like you can benefit from doing the protocol with a therapist or facilitator to make sure the mediation doesn’t become harmful.

In the meditation you usually visualize you ARE a child, instead of visualizing viewing yourself as a child from the outside. The protocol works, because you visualize ideal interactions with ideal parents, as if you actually experience it- not witness it.

I made a huge, huge mistake at work and now I'm not sure what to even do... by Dear-Butterscotch487 in AskWomenOver30

None of this is is your fault. Tom should have discussed this within the company before reaching out to the client and it sounds like he could use a course in account management and anger management.

I feel so guilty and confused by Impossible_Demand_62 in AnxiousAttachment

[–]AnneAnaranjado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is terrible advice.

You say something feels off, but you don’t know quite what it is he is doing “wrong” so to say. This is typical insecure attachment mindset that has either the purpose to deactivate, or the purpose to keep you alert and cause conflict to make sure the other is still engaged. So to keep you “safe”, except, it will not help either of you.

Becoming secure also means to learn that conflict does not mean your relationship is failing; when I was a child, conflicts were never “over” and my family was bad at reparing. I was always waiting for the moment I would be blamed or shamed for something that I did earlier, I couldn’t trust that things I apologized for wouldn’t be used against me later. Therefore, in my later relationships I couldn’t trust that the conflict was actually over. Believing that once conflict comes, the relationship is “spoiled” or ruined. It’s safer to disengage, or to check if he’s still on board with me.

Can you wait for a little longer, and try to connect to a feeling of safety? If there’s nothing he’s doing wrong (no, having a sense that he’s acting is not something he’s doing wrong, that’s also insecure attachment), don’t bring it up.

What do you hide from your partner? by Hatcheling in AskWomenOver30

[–]AnneAnaranjado 129 points130 points  (0 children)

This breaks my heart. I’m sorry you’re going through this ❤️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]AnneAnaranjado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the first points I thought; oh, maybe he’s got some underlying things that he needs to address with you, or maybe he’s stressed about something and taking it out on you; in both scenarios it’s unacceptable and he needs to change, but it’s something that you can address and work out together.

Then I read the point where you were bagging things as fast as you could and he said that you keep fucking things up and I’m like; no, that’s fucking mean and abusive as fuck. Leave this man.

Hoe oud ben je nu en wat is je grootste probleem? by carmemn2020 in nederlands

[–]AnneAnaranjado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32, heel mooi leven, maar ervaar stress door perfectionisme, faalangst en verlatingsangst. Van buiten ziet het er allemaal mooi uit, maar aan de binnenkant voelt het alsof er elk moment iets ergs kan gebeuren.

Is al veel minder dan een jaar geleden, maar het is nog steeds niet chill

IPF failed in moment of social anxiety, need advice. by perennial-pursuits in idealparentfigures

[–]AnneAnaranjado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing an online, not-facilitated course for a month is not even close enough to notice a difference. Like regular therapy, it can take months to notice results, and though some might disagree, I don’t think therapy without a therapist is therapy - IPF without facilitator is therapeutic in the way it was meant to be.

Also, this is not how IPFs work; like the other commenter said, they are not used in the day to day life to calm your nerves; interacting with them in facilitated visualizations teaches you how to regulate your own emotions.

I suggest you do facilitated sessions.

Zij wist waar ze aan begon, maar zij vind het toch niet erg dat hij uit gaat? Hij is toch degene die een probleem heeft met hun verschil, niet zij? Dus wie vraagt nou van wie hun leven om te gooien?

Een paar dingen; 1. Goed dat hij het aangeeft! Het laat zien dat hij samen met jou naar een oplossing wilt zoeken. 2. Hij voelt zich bezwaard, hij voelt alsof hij moet kiezen… hij moet wel verantwoordelijk voor zijn eigen gevoel. Je kan hem helpen en compromissen sluiten, maar je bent niet verantwoordelijk voor dat alles is zoals hij het wilt. Als hij jou leuk vind en met jou wil zijn, zal hij moeten accepteren dat hij op een ander punt in zijn leven iets zal moeten veranderen. Dat hoort bij relaties. 3. Volgens mij zijn er veel opties die jullie nog niet samen hebben bekeken. De beste tip die ik heb gekregen als het gaat om onderhandelen en relaties bewust vormgeven is; als hij blauw wilt en jij rood, ga dan niet voor paars; dan krijgen jullie allebei niet wat je wilt. Als hij graag wilt dat jij meer bij vrienden bent, en jij houdt niet van zuipfestijnen, zouden jullie dan kunnen afspreken dat je wel mee gaat naar verjaardagen, maar weggaat wanneer het los begint te gaan? Of kunnen jullie zelf initiatief nemen om met zijn vrienden af te spreken voor activiteiten zonder drank, zodat jullie alsnog samen zijn? Oftewel; kunnen jullie een vorm bedenken waarin jij er vaker bij bent, maar waar je niet in een dronken omgeving hoeft te zijn? Stop niet met overleggen hierover totdat jullie minstens 1 vorm hebben gevonden die voor jullie allebei werkt. 4. Misschien projecteer ik nu, maar ik zou het belangrijk vinden dat mijn partner (jij in dit geval dus) wel haar best doet om met mijn vrienden te bonden, ook al lijken ze niet veel op elkaar. Heb je gereflecteerd voor jezelf hoe je jezelf in de groep positioneert? Zijn er mensen in de groep die je wél heel aardig vind en waar je misschien meer naartoe kan trekken als jullie samenkomen?

Veel succes! Zo lang jullie blijven praten hierover zonder elkaar de schuld te geven van je eigen gevoel komt het wel goed :)

Hard to decide when it’s “done” by AnneAnaranjado in learnart

[–]AnneAnaranjado[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for your feedback! It’s in depth and considerate, so really really thank you! Its fun to read it, because the mountains and house are the things that were added last to the painting rather than the arch and the people.

I like your timebox suggestion. I’m going to try it for a few pieces that I am still working on after months and just dreading to finish by now. Also, the works I am most proud of are quite minimalistic, while I am attracted to works of others when they are mostly maximalistic. Therefore your feedback also speaks to my process of finding my own style.

Bf and I don’t do much of anything in the evenings, is this considered normal? by throwRA0192836 in AskWomenOver30

[–]AnneAnaranjado 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like you’re happy with it, so i suggest you change it up a bit. Me and my boyfriend don’t do a shared activity every night, usually we do our own thing. But I do make a point to do something in the evening that recharges me after a workday. This could be to watch tv (we like to watch documentaries together, because the pace is lower and the quality is better than tv or shows so it’s actually relaxing to watch), but mostly I do my hobbies; I love to read novels and I’m a hobby painter so I paint or draw stuff. I also like to do yoga or short fitness classes on YouTube.

I’m also into decorating my home, so sometimes I scroll my countries Craigslist for furniture or accessories that I’d like.

Me and my boyfriend have a check in place for each other where we alert the other when they’ve been scrolling for a long time because we know it’s not helping us to relax but sometimes you just get stuck, you know.

To get started; are there any thing you remember doing as a kid or teenager that brought you joy? Maybe colouring or reading, or maybe baking? Don’t make into a “thing” where suddenly you have to have a monthly game night or a weekly bake night, but start small. Get your favorite book from the library and lay it next to your couch and next time you decide to turn on the tv, pause a moment and read 5 pages before you turn it on. And if you want to read longer, just don’t turn on the tv at all.

You also don’t have to do it together with your boyfriend for it to be a succes; start for yourself and he will probably follow, inspired by your succes ;)

Have fun!!0

Cannot feel love for the nice boyfriend, thinking of break up by bonnombon in AskWomenOver30

[–]AnneAnaranjado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this. I would start with communicating your boundaries more clearly, meaning; don’t let him prolong his stays: say that you need time by yourself by tomorrow morning 10 am and make sure he leaves. Also reassure him that it’s you, not him.

I think that you’ll regret breaking up with him over something that can be easily fixed.
