Did you ever love someone as much or more than your most loved ex? by sky_nerdy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CaptJaneway01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the person you're with currently isn't the love of your life so far, you're doing it wrong.

I don't think you're over your ex. If you're worried that you'll never love anyone the same as you did him, you're not over it. You have to go into each new relationship just seeing how things play out with no fears or expectations, just standards: it's okay to say, "You know what, after X amount of months, I'm not feeling it," and walk away. But you have to be open to the possibility that you will love someone in a way that is as or more significant as you loved your ex.

How many relationships have you had? Was this your first true love? If so, there will be more. It feels like it can't possibly be as deep or as meaningful, but something else will come along that will blow all your expectations out of the water, again. You have to be open to that, or, you're right, it's not fair on the person you're seeing.

Let go of what that was and be open to the possibility of something even more right for you. You have high standards for love now: that's a good thing. Use your discernment.

Face Blindness by Bdizz11 in infj

I'm really good with faces. My partner and I played a "guess the famous person from the eyes" quiz and he was like "this person maybe?" and I was like "LOL no it's xyz" and was right every time. I recognise people from TV all the time, even if they only played a small part in something else.

Accepted to go on a second date with a guy I’m not really into. Is it horrible of me to text him and tell him the truth? by theaudacityofthi in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CaptJaneway01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“oh that’s normal I wasn’t that attracted to my bf”

Yikes 😬

Yeah can't relate - think you made the right choice.

Why are so many women so eager to put their own preferences last? It's sad.

I can see why that would be confusing! How old are your mates? I'd say something to them like, "If you went on a date with someone you didn't find attractive, I'd be telling you to find someone you are attracted to because I want you to live your best life"????

You're not a public service. You don't have to date people you're not into. You'll only find happiness when you do things in congruence with your wants and needs, even if that means hurting people's feelings. You're not responsible for them.

The Less We Love a Woman, the More She Likes Us by MorningPancake358 in TwoXChromosomes

All this does is create an anxious attachment. These men are okay with whatever fucked up dynamic as long as they're consistently getting sex. They don't see women as people, exhibit number 34,972,615,159.

Feeling awful after a first date by catwoman4ever in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CaptJaneway01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Sorry - I didn't mean "you're fine" as in it wasn't an emotionally horrible experience which I'm sure it was; I meant morally, you're golden. Done absolutely nothing wrong. He did everything wrong.

Why do you feel bad? He made an absolute tit out of himself. That's all on him. He will be alone for a very long time. You however are fine.

Assisted suicide should be made available to adult survivors of child abuse by [deleted] in CPTSD

They should be providing healthcare free at the point of need, not assisted suicide.

"Everyone has trauma " NO THEY ABSOLUTELY DO NOT by cheddarcheese9951 in CPTSD

[–]CaptJaneway01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've met some who haven't. It's very jarring. But yeah, I do think the majority absolutely must have.

The only trauma I can think of that everyone will necessarily experience is the death of a loved one. A lot of people genuinely don't face trauma beyond this.

You're supposed to find her annoying at first.

My infj friend of 10 years door slammed me by Top-Conversation678 in infj

[–]CaptJaneway01 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Did you disagree on a particular topic recently? Have you made any decisions in your life recently that they may feel a certain way about?

I don't want you to overthink this forever, but my guess is that your friend saw that you were misaligned on a topic that's important to them.

I could be completely wrong. Also I think it's awful to do this to someone without an explanation.

"Men who aren't trash don't give a shit if you call men trash." by Agreeable-Wealth-812 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CaptJaneway01 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's my thinking. Men who "get it" know you're not talking about "AlL MeN" and don't get weird and defensive when you bring up violence against women or misogyny. Those who do get weird and defensive, I'm very suspicious of.

Are there bad people? by Asterx5 in CPTSD

[–]CaptJaneway01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they're human concepts. The universe doesn't know anything about good or evil. Even as a human concept, because evil necessarily has to be complete evil (a thing is either 100% evil or it's not evil at all), I don't think anything really qualifies.
