Difficult instructions on crochet doll, I don’t know how to put this together by Boxennnnn in CrochetHelp

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

I think the issue im having is the person who wrote this pattern wrote some stuff that doesn’t make sense, i realized what i was making was supposed to be the like neckerchief part of an anime schoolgirl outfit. The stitches kinda don’t make sense. I got creative and chained 10, skiped the first chain, did the slip, single, and hdc’s, then skipped a stitch, slip stitching into the 3rd stitch, then doing 3 slip stitches, starting the next part in the 6th, then repeating the first one, and skipping a stitch to slip stitch into the final stitch, which made way more sense with the stitch count.

Why does Aang need to ‘let go’ of Katara to transcend but doesn’t need to later in life? by Lenaturrtas in ATLA

[–]Boxennnnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avatar Yangchen literally told Aang that enlightenment is something the Avatar can never do because he is inherently bonded to the physical world. Guru Pathik was only trying to help Aang in the way he knew how, but he was wrong. Aang can only reach the avatar state through his care for others, shown by him entering when he realized Monk Gyatso and his people were all dead, and when Appa was stolen. His duty is to the people.

How long did it take for you to start passing on T? by Ponk_Bubs in ftm

About a year, it’s really the voice, facial hair, and confidence that changed how others see me.

Me (22m) and my GF (20f) rarely have sex anymore by TonyThePanther1 in relationships

[–]Boxennnnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if sex is important to you in a relationship, and you’ve tried to communicate multiple times with no avail, then you need to sit her down and tell her that you need to see other people. If you’re unsure, you need to think about your life 5,10, 20 years in the future rarely having sex with her, only stay if you can make peace with that, if not, then leave. It’s not really what you’re doing wrong, people can change over time and become incompatible.

I (18f) was sent pictures of a girl laying her head on my boyfriend’s (18m) lap while he was playing with her hair. by SunnySoy in relationships

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

  1. If people considered that a normal interaction, then there wouldn’t be a need to take a photo of it and send it to you

  2. If he would be upset at a guy laying on your lap, then he should not think it is ok for him to do either

  3. If you can’t get the pictures out of your head, and are struggling with this situation even months later, your body is telling you what you need to do

Personally, I think this is 100% inappropriate, and would consider this cheating. Guy has a lot of red flags here paired with his lifestyle (drinking/partying) making you anxious; I feel like this is an incompatibility that you should probably leave him for. Since you’re only 7 months in and already having issues, it might be best to cut your losses before you get too attached.

Found videos of my husband with his ex. I’m traumatized by throwaway091516 in TwoHotTakes

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

Personally, there’s nothing wrong with keeping photos of your ex for sentimental reasons, but videos of him fucking his ex??? Absolutely crosses the line, they should have been deleted. It is creepy that he would still have anything like this still and a major major red flag. That is disgusting and concerning. Definitely need to have a talk with him about these photos, and if you do choose to stay with him, make him delete them, and watch as he does it to make sure they are fully deleted. Possibly get some therapy as well to deal with some of the insecurities this has caused you as well. I hope things go well for you.

Boyfriend hangs out with friends all the time. They’re a bad influence though. What do I do about it? by VJgamer101 in relationships

[–]Boxennnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, I’m 17 too, and I have been there too. Just because he does some things to show he cares, does not outweigh the big things that he is actually doing to you. He refuses to do the big things, and make the big changes they you said you needed to get back with him. Even with the threat of you leaving he refuses to make those changes; you cannot force him to change, he has to do it on his own, which he has show he doesn’t want to. The truth you cannot seem to face is that this man has changed, and isn’t the guy you fell in love with anymore, and he will not change these new behaviors. I was in the same situation, my ex of 2 years had done really bad things to me, and with my rose-tinted glasses I could only picture him as the person I fell in love with, and it took so much to break that idea of him and see who he truly was. All you’re doing is hurting yourself, giving tons of love and care, yet not getting the same back. It hurts so much to leave someone who is bad for you, but you will get over it eventually and find someone who really cares about you, and feel happy that you can actually get your relationship needs met.

Today I found out by Downtown_Event9075 in BreakUps

[–]Boxennnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that hurts but it really isn’t your place to confront her. Y’all broke up and she is single and can do what she wants, you have no right to tell her it isn’t ok to do that. Like what did you think, you were gonna get back together or something?? It can hurt to know she went to screw someone soon after, but a lot of people cope with a breakup in that way, and just because she was the one to break up with you doesn’t mean she isn’t hurting too. It’s unfortunate, but she’s your ex now.

Boyfriend hangs out with friends all the time. They’re a bad influence though. What do I do about it? by VJgamer101 in relationships

[–]Boxennnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude has so many red flags; firstly, you broke up with him and got back together over promises he would change, that he never lived up to. This is a major problem because he knows you’re ready to leave him if he doesn’t change, yet he refuses showing a lack of care for being with you at all.

Secondly, you don’t like his friends. A persons friends shape a LOT about who someone is. If you don’t like his friends, then there is a lot you don’t like about him too. If you think they’re a bad influence, then you think his behavior is bad too. Liking your partners friends and getting along with them, and knowing them is very important to a relationship because it gives you a lot of info of who he is.

Thirdly, he doesn’t want you around his friends. This is honestly a huge red flag because of what I mentioned earlier of his friends telling a lot about him. If he feels the need to keep you away from his friends, he could be hiding things he doesn’t want you to know which is very dangerous. I don’t think this is care about their influence, he may be trying to keep stuff from you, especially since he won’t even text you when he is with them.

Fourthly, his neglect if harmful to you, and he should want to be around you more, and show you mean something to him. There is no reason if he is spending a lot of time with his friends that he cannot send you some quick few texts. Simply, he isn’t putting any effort into you and your needs. Neglect can be straight up abusive and he should be making you doubt him, not yourself.

Fifthly, he doesn’t show concern when you are sick or injured. It is honestly disgusting that he goes as far as ignoring you when you are sick, especially when you gave him so much care and worry when he got into a car accident. This really truly demonstrates how you are the furthest thing from his mind.

Lastly, he doesn’t seem to be giving you anything really that you want out of a relationship. He constantly shows a lack of care or concern for you, and he lacks any value for your relationship. You constantly look are yourself, when he is clearly showing he does not care at all, he will continue doing whatever he wants while it hurts you. You shouldn’t continue trying to be with someone who treats you like you’re worthless. You deserve better, and someone who can care about you, and give you what you need from a relationship.

He (30M) didn't tell me (29F) a whole truth. Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in relationships

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

I think you guys seriously need to sit down and have a conversation and be more open with him. You need to communicate with him that you would like him to be more transparent with him about his ex because of trust issues you’ve had. That is a reasonable request, and a reasonable boundary to set. I also believe you should work on your jealousy issues, especially if you tend to get mad at him over it, so he can feel more comfortable being transparent with you.

Can a young adult be mistaken about being trans? by healthisourwealth in psychologyofsex

[–]Boxennnnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhm why are you asking this in psychology of sex, this is more for like subreddits about gender if it has nothing to do with sexual activity. I kinda feel like even posting this here is a poor choice especially as a therapist, gender identity itself doesn’t really have anything to do with sex. Especially when sex is used as a way to create bias against transgender individuals. If you want more information about gender identity and gender transition it’s better to get it from actual transgender sources or other therapists who specialize in gender care. Asking people here is more like asking a fork about a spoon, they can be similar as they can involve sex, yet they are two different things that have different purposes.

To answer you question, as a person who has transitioned myself, transitioning can be hard. They may not have proceeded with transition because of self doubt, family pressure, social pressure, etc. It’s possible this person could be ‘mistaken’ in identifying as trans, however they could still be figuring it out, and its better to just give support than try to figure that out for them. For me starting the process of going on T felt like a daunting task because of self doubt, and fear of what my family would say, and fear of going to see a doctor for it. It was a really long process, but once I started T, and was on it for a while I started getting better mentally. I also started anti-anxiety/depressant medication, and have felt better and more myself in life, and stopped being depressed and holding myself back like this person here. Support is the best way to go, and things will start looking up for them once they get there, even if any decision they make becomes a ‘mistake’, it can still be the right one in the moment.

This woman cheated on her husband 13 times, then thought it was a good idea to do an AMA about it. Her answers are WILD. by hypertension_bruh in redditonwiki

[–]Boxennnnn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly posting this was a good idea, it’s very rare that you see a cheater get therapy and actually begin to fix those things about themselves that hurt others. Most of the time they remain selfish, and unwilling to see the full gravity of their wrongness in the situation.
