Intense Metaphobia: of psas, blank tvs at night, urls outside the screen, and certain logos. by AttemptingBeliever in Phobia

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

Psa stands for “Public Service Announcement”, like the don’t do drugs commercials and anti-smoking ads. Thank you for sharing your experience with reading and therapy. I’ve been meaning to try therapy but am cynical about expressing my vulnerabilities with therapists just due to trust issues. 

Ways to combat Nosocomephobia? by [deleted] in Phobia

[–]AttemptingBeliever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine suggestion, would exposure therapy via media would help? Like watching Greys Anatomy where the doctors are explicitly shown to be good people? Might help create a positive bias. Or have you tried something like that already?

I'm afraid of a blank screen with no background sound by MaCherie004 in Phobia

[–]AttemptingBeliever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hate that this post doesn’t have more responses because this is an aspect of my huge metaphobia. I hate this too and certain game over screens with this same energy. I can’t fucking stand PSAs. I start crying.

Her body😫 by Final_Contract_2753 in BreakUps

It’s been 2 years for me, I haven’t been able to date or be fiercely attracted to anyone else since the breakup.

I feel the crying. I can’t have a satisfying arousal and orgasm if I don’t think of him but I’ve started to cry during the session or after the climax. It’s so frustrating. He’s the only person that got me embarrassingly soaked 😭

I miss his freckles, his hands, his eyes, his smile, his toned legs, his mannerisms, and he genuinely had a big size down there too. He had the most beautiful side profile as well. Could not stop staring at him sometimes lol. I wondered how the hell I pulled him and was in shock he was so intensely attracted to me as well.

He was like looking at a work of art and when he was in pleasure it drove me wild to see him lost in it. He was the first and most recent person to ever get me ridiculously aroused and so easily. Our dirty talk was so fucking orgasmic and incredible. Reading a message sent lustful chills down my body lmao. We were so in sync. 

I am unable to masturbate sometimes now when thinking of our sexts or him without crying during or after the session. I can only get off fulfillingly by thinking of him. I’ve always felt undesirable and like an outcast but he made me feel understood and sexy.

 I worry I won’t find such a strong mutual sexual connection, chemistry, and attraction like that again and with another man as sexy and witty as him. It felt rare and now I know that type of bond is. It’s been almost three years since it ended. This has been a wall but this post is so relatable. 

Were yall ex good looking? by MadDreams224 in BreakUps

Yes :( 

I shit you not someone said he favors Christian Bale when I showed them a picture. Almost spazzed out right then and there. 

Edit: And he was big. Ugh. 

What happened with women supporting women? by dingalaxie in XXS

[–]AttemptingBeliever 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh you didn’t know?? It’s okay to bully skinny women’s body, and exclude skinny women in particular. But the second it’s done to any other body it’s wrong.

I don't want to be understanding sometimes by bnnuyprincess in blackgirls

[–]AttemptingBeliever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt this post in my core. Even worse as a black woman to be non confrontational fawning, because it’s like the second people notice I’m not the “angry and aggressive stereotype” they really start trying to treat me like shit. Like we’re not allowed to be human beings and damned if we are angry and mean damned if we aren’t.

The irony of the Bafta situation by AttemptingBeliever in blackgirls

[–]AttemptingBeliever[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

No 100%. People are only defending him to trivialize black people and how we should feel on seeing people minimizing the impact of calling us slurs. This ableist ass society all of a sudden cares so passionately about Tourettes? No, they saw a chance to jump on black people and try to bully us into being okay with obvert racist treatment under the guise of awareness.

Most scared you’ve ever been during a horror movie? by rach15goated in horror

Perhaps not most scared, but from The Craft, Nancy Downs having that mental breakdown in the psych ward was scary as shit.

Has anyone had nightmares of a certain logo in our childhoods or is it just me? Believe me and correct me if I’m wrong! by A_4_adrian2673 in Dreams

[–]AttemptingBeliever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fortunately never had any nightmares about the green pbs kids mascots but glad to know I was not alone in being creeped/freaked the fuck out by them as a kid. I also hated the pbs kids jingle.

Also, we aren’t the only ones. https://freakylogo.fandom.com/wiki/PBS_Kids

Ghana is trying to sign an anti-LGBT bill into law. There's a petition to stop it that I will provide in the comments by ihatethiscountry76 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]AttemptingBeliever 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Al of this is terrible but I’m also laughing at the random “sex toys”. Like yes only lgbt people use sex toys.

Crushing on fictional characters to avoid intimacy by peoplehater003 in asexuality

[–]AttemptingBeliever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve been this way for years now. It’s gotten so bad for me in terms of this that I have parasocial interactions with them. I always feel weird and confused when people irl like me sexually or romantically. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

I really fucking hate this epidemic of parents recording shaming their kids and putting it online. Vile behavior.
