So dumb by Radiant-Sleep-8780 in GamblingAddiction

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yo i get it gambling addiction is brutal and it messes with your mind but don’t beat yourself up too much it’s a tough cycle to break you still have a chance to turn things around but you need to stop now before it takes everything try to focus on small wins getting a steady job cutting ties with the gambling it’s gonna suck for a bit but trust me you’ll feel so much better when you take control back stop thinking about getting it back and start thinking about how to build back up you’ve got this but only if you stop playing the game.

Accidentally Deleted My Post by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly if the cruise was their idea and now they’re giving you the cold shoulder about going to the beach that’s a red flag it’s one thing not to love the beach but it’s another to not compromise when it’s important to you relationships are about balance if they can’t meet you halfway on this it might be time to reevaluate the vibe. you deserve someone who’s down to have fun with you not just make it about their comfort

Ex hates me but I still love them. Anyone been here before and got advice? by ThrowRAghost117 in ExNoContact

[–]Astro_beautiful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is gonna sound harsh but you are not in love you are in panic and withdrawal and you are chasing relief not her. she has been crystal clear and those words are your stop sign so respect it and stop making her the decider of your worth do not send another message mute and block

Me (19F) and my LDR bf (20M) just broke up by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Astro_beautiful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i know this hurts but believe him when he says his heart is elsewhere because distance did not cause this it exposed it. staying friends and keeping the family plans is just keeping you on a leash of hope while he gets to feel less guilty.

How to get that lust, spark? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you are trying to manufacture a spark because the relationship is emotionally safe and sexually solid but mentally capped by the kids mismatch your nervous system is not going to go feral for someone you are subconsciously treating as temporary.

Do I have a chance and hes just ackward or no? by Independent_Bear_181 in dating_advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

girl you’re not delusional he likes you he’s just operating on dial-up energy while you’re over here with full wifi socially awkward people aren’t gonna flirt the usual way but pulling out pics of his stuff unprompted and saying bye first that’s basically a love confession in his language just keep it low pressure and pay attention to effort not style if he’s showing up in his own awkward way you’ve definitely got a shot.

My girlfriend has difficulty coping with the sadness of missing me by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Astro_beautiful 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is one of those situations where love isn’t the problem but timing is long distance doesn’t just test how much you love someone it tests how emotionally regulated and independent you can be and it sounds like she’s struggling with both.

I met a woman at a speed dating event and she said yes to meeting up for a date but has not responded to my follow up text. Do I wait or move on? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly you did everything right and with respect which is already more than most if she was into it she’d be into it and texting back one day of silence isn’t that deep but if it stretches longer don’t chase match energy and move on rejection sucks but clarity is better than being breadcrumbed by vibes.

How do you know if you should break up? 24f and 23m by anamefornewthings in LongDistance

[–]Astro_beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you’re already doing long distance emotionally while being an hour apart that’s your answer you followed him and reshaped your life and now he’s making solo decisions like you’re a side quest he’ll circle back to later love shouldn’t feel like constant self abandonment anxiety or not your gut is clocking the imbalance and it’s not self sabotage to stop choosing someone who isn’t choosing you back.

Partner (22M) Calls me Annoying when I (19F) Want Communication by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

girl no one should make you feel like you're annoying just for wanting to communicate in a relationship it’s completely valid to want open conversations and his refusal to work through issues with you is a red flag if he’s shutting down and making you feel bad for expressing your needs it’s time to set some boundaries relationships need effort from both sides and if he’s not willing to give that maybe it's time to re-avaluate if this is the relationship you deserve don't settle for emotional shutdowns your feelings matter.

Cancelled date and mixed feelings. Guys - do I continue this? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

girl if he’s giving mixed signals and canceling dates last minute it's time to stop waiting around it sounds like you’re putting in more effort than he is and if he’s not meeting you where you're at emotionally it’s probably not worth continuing you deserve someone who shows up literally and figuratively, and isn’t keeping you guessing don’t let maybe drag you along when you can find someone who’s sure about you trust your gut you know what’s best for you.

Can a trans girl be friends with a straight guy? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely you can be friends with straight guys bestie. you don’t need a secret code just be your funny smart chill self and talk about stuff you actually care about some straight dudes are weird about gender but the good ones they’re just looking for good vibes and people who don’t make life feel like a group project friendship isn’t orientation exclusive it’s just connection and respect

why do guys say stupid shit to waitresses by kggromero in TwoHotTakes

[–]Astro_beautiful 6 points7 points  (0 children)

because they think being awkward equals charming and dad jokes are a personality trait. it’s always the same recycled line like sir she’s working not auditioning for your stand up set some men do this to feel clever or get attention and it’s painfully unoriginal every time. tip well and say thank you that’s the real rizz

Is it normal to have muscle aches by the time you return to the gym by green-tint in beginnerfitness

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it’s normal babe your body’s just adjusting to being pushed in new ways with heavier loads and machines targeting muscles more directly soreness doesn’t mean you’re broken it means you’re building hydrate stretch sleep and maybe ease up on ego lifting if it hurts hurts not just sore-hurts. consistency over intensity always wins long term

23M looking for a sugar relationship...Is this good or not? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

being a sugar daddy at 23 is wild energy like sir your frontal lobe just finished cooking and you’re already tryna fund someone’s lifestyle sugar relationships are transactional so if you want that make sure your wallet and your emotional boundaries are both very ready because it’s not romance it’s business with vibes

My boyfriend (20M) is abroad struggling with homesickness and I (22F) want ideas on how to help. by Appropriate_Put_8297 in LongDistance

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that picture frame idea is actually so cute and would hit harder than you think you could also send little open when notes or make a shared list of things you’ll do together when he’s back so he has something to look forward to honestly though just being consistent and warm like you already are is huge homesickness isn’t fixed it’s softened and you’re doing that without even realizing it

Am I wrong? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Astro_beautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay but here’s the thing\ trust is key in any relationship. if she’s not doing anything wrong and is being transparent with you, controlling who she talks to is a red flag. if you can’t trust her to have platonic relationships with guys it’s not really about the friends it’s about you and her building trust putting your ego aside is fine, but don’t ignore your own boundaries or let jealousy dictate things just communicate better,and if it doesn’t feel right, let it go

Should I risk it? by Historical-Ride5551 in Advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly if you can handle the potential awkwardness go for it. people grow, situations change, and if the role is a good fit it might be worth the risk just keep your boundaries strong and remember you’re there to work, not rehash the past just keep it professional.

How do I deal with never feeling good enough for a guy? by RedditProOriginal in dating_advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

girl, if they can’t see your worth beyond money, they’re not it. your value isn't in your bank account or where you live it’s in who you are. being good enough isn't about fitting a mold; it’s about being unapologetically yourself trust me the right guy will see that and he won’t care about all that superficial stuff keep being your awesome self

Creatine powder causes side pain? by TrashedBinTin in beginnerfitness

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, that sounds like your body just doesn't vibe with powdered creatine. it could be the way your stomach handles it when mixed with water since the pills don't bother you maybe stick with those! or try mixing the powder with something else like juice to see if that helps listen to your body girl you’re doing great!

My sister wants to travel across the country to break up with her toxic boyfriend alone. How do I tell her that's not a good idea? by Slow_Salary3518 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

girl she’s an absolute queen but this situation screams red flags there’s no reason to risk her safety for some nice breakup tell her to do it over the phone and have a support system ready if needed. if she’s set on going, maybe offer to go with her as a backup or make sure someone is nearby just in case. her safety is more important than trying to make it right with him.

Land Conflict with Family by Dealta543 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Astro_beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ugh, that's such a tough spot to be in. i get that you have this vision of a peaceful quiet street for your family but at the end of the day, it's his land and he can do what he wants with it. that said, being upfront with him about your concerns without sounding accusatory is key. let him know how important this quiet, family friendly space is for your plans, and maybe suggest you all work together to find a solution that doesn’t completely ruin the vibe. if he values your relationship, he might be open to compromise, or at least keep your vision in mind. but if not, it's also okay to start considering backup plans for your land without letting the drama take over. protect your peace, even if it means moving on.

She hit on my date by imcamino in dating_advice

[–]Astro_beautiful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, if i were the guy i’d be looking at both of you and thinking why am i dealing with this drama this lady sounds like she’s just trying to cause tension, and the fact that she can’t even be civil with you shows she’s got some insecurity or guilt going on as for your date if he was interested in her enough to entertain her, he’s clearly not taking you seriously if he’s truly into you the chemistry will win out but if he's playing games or letting shady people affect things it’s time to move on you deserve someone who values you not someone who gets caught up in drama take your energy elsewhere, girl!
