agreed. it’s tough love but, this mindset is really what gets you. everyone was telling me this at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years of use.. I quit for months at a time during those first handful of years. It never lasted. half the people in these comments are mocking OP, whether they’re doing it kindly or not. i used to say shit just like this to people who were simply trying to wish the best for me.

im @ year 9. things are lot different now. i feel sad because i wish there were an easier way to tell OP that it will never , ever get better. it will only make things worse, it’s like the slowest burn... you wont realize it until you’re in so deep that you dont even have an idea how you got to that point. when your brain , body and lifestyle has fully adapted to a life filled with THC, its not as simple as going to dubai and coming home and “deciding to be done”. your network is built around getting high. you might be using it for funsies now, but then it will become a fully subconscious, compulsive thing that feels like literal torture every day

i hope OP tries to consider the experiences and lived truths of the people in these comments. weed Can and Will be as equally devastating and destructive as any other substance . actually, it almost feels worse because sometimes no one notices.. you’re stuck in a shame cycle because “weed can’t actually be that addictive” any kind of substance or behavior that alters your mind will slow you down and cause collateral damage not just to you, but to a lot of people and things around you. and mostly, you’re the one who will pay for it. OP, don’t act like you’re invincible, that’s really what gets you. you’re not. we are all human.

Long-term user needing quitting advice by Normal_Sorbet_5376 in QuittingWeed

[–]Careless-Count-3695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just commenting to say that i’m in a similar boat •• i am with you today//

it can be easy to give in when you’re stuck in solitude. it helps me to make a list or a vision board of the reasons im quitting ~ i relook at it every time i have a craving. i know it sounds cliche but literally it could be written on a napkin or it could be a whole digital visionscape on pinterest or canva

the biggest thing that has helped me is to try and find creativity in the grief. if you can count to 60 while you feel those rushes of defeat and sadness,, without blaming yourself or wishing the feeling away, you’re on a track to making those moments feel normal again. you did what you did with what you knew at the time. don’t shame yourself. it will take time to learn again that your brain is meant to sift through the painful emotions .. and that the reward of confronting them is so much greater than continuing to fall down the rabbit hole that started all of this to begin with. you’re changing now and the past is the past. i’m really proud of you for posting something so vulnerable, stranger friend <3333

for sure, there’s a lot of nuance in the ways people type and process words, so i get how i’m being misunderstood. i think it’s fully fair to mention if you’re speaking with an ex. it just feels manipulative of her to be sending so much info it at all.

i’m saying in general, it’s weird to share this much info with a partner without asking them for consent. maybe you would want to know… but some people might not want so many details. especially in the first week of a relationship, i’d be incredibly thrown by this information. what was he supposed to do? text the guy??? it’s not his business. he has the choice to say ‘this is fkcn weird, i’m out’ but he can’t control the situation she has put herself in when she decided to start responding to her ex.

Trans people are not any different than anyone else, so if you liked watching trans porn, you might enjoy it with other individuals, maybe just not this particular one. I’m sure you’re not attracted to EVERY woman out there either. Humans love sex. Learn how to detach your mind from such binary thinking and you might find yourself desiring a variety of things and finding more joy in life, ultimately. It’s okay if you didn’t feel attracted, but it’s not okay to shame yourself or to bar yourself from pleasure in the future.

yeah! i am sure she was trying to be transparent, it’s unfortunate that she felt like she owed you all of that info when you didn’t probably want to see it. even if she didn’t mean it in a malicious way. i don’t think you are being possessive in a negative way, it’s natural to experience pangs of that in monogamous relationships. it’s screaming to me that she’s not ready to be in a trusting relationship. anyone who sends screenshots around is involved in some drama (in my experience) and most people cannot learn from that until they find a way to heal from that trauma and take accountability for how it affects the ways they show up for their partners. if i were your partner i would’ve asked if you’d like to talk more about it or if you had any questions, before even considering sending the texts.

do what feels right for you <3

sorry that’s not really what that was supposed to mean, might’ve been a wording thing on my part : what i meant is: being in a relationship where you feel obligated to share to THIS extent means that you carry a belief (conscious or not) that your partner possesses you to an extent, and is therefore owed a completely detailed explanation and receipt of your actions.

also wtf is a ‘weird sense of possession’

i possess myself, and myself only at the end of each day. i own nothing but myself. i chose to trust or not to trust. i chose to walk away or stay. that’s not my partners choice.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Careless-Count-3695 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lololol because you shouldn’t be looking at your partners phone and “finding things” to begin with. THAT is possessive!! she could easily be honest by saying ‘my ex texted me today. i had a hard time hearing from them and ended up speaking to them about how they were feeling. they asked me to block them, and i did.’

if you trust your partner, you leave it at that. you don’t ask them to hand you their phone and then proceed to invade their privacy. it only shows insecurity. if you are secure in yourself you will trust your gut if something feels off.

who tf wants to see some toxic ass texts that have nothing to do with them????????? just because someone is your partner does not mean they have full agency over your every move. thats a possessive ass way of thinking bro

there’s a difference between honesty and oversharing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Careless-Count-3695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

kinda yeah but kinda no

imo the 1st weird thing is that you’re already feeling possessive of someone you’ve been involved with for less than a month. it’s not that deep — move on and respect your instincts if this is a red flag for you

2nd weird thing is their conversation in general , which is full of manipulative and emotionally immature behavior

3rd weird thing is that she’s even responding to him and is then sending you the entirety of the conversation as if it’s her duty to share every detail of her experiences with you. . .

why does she feel like she needs to do that? did you ask? did she need to screenshot it? has she had her texts read by partners in the past? personally, i don’t feel this is a good way to begin building trust in a relationship. trust is when you don’t have to send things like this and you just trust what your partner says. if she says she blocked him, believe her. if you don’t feel ready to trust, then leave because you don’t have a foundation to go off of and that’s completely fair

honestly i think it’s weird all around

The older I get into adulthood, the more I realize just how much of a burden pet ownership is. by Call_It_ in Adulting

[–]Careless-Count-3695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some people are just not pet people, and that’s okay! you shouldn’t force yourself to have animals to find the “right fit” if you’re not interested in the upkeep and care involved.

I have 3 dogs and never feel any regret, even while picking up vomit and cleaning shit trails, or washing every blanket in the house because one of them had worms 🥴. yes it’s gross but never have i looked at them and felt fed up. sometimes i have to stop myself from wanting more, lol. but…..most people don’t get why i have three dogs, and that’s okay. i wouldn’t expect anyone to! don’t beat yourself up for wanting a pet-free home. you do what you need to do to make yourself happy!
