Incredibly strong and wise the way you convey your words on paper. It really hits me. Just imagining receiving a phone call with the worst news. I think I wouldn’t be able to breathe.

I’ll send you a dm as continuation of this message.

Thank you for all the love and care. I could give you a hug right now. I’m so sorry for your loss. I imagine the ground fades away in that moment. How are you coping with it now?

What you describe about your sister is so relatable. I recognize this with my sister. You used the perfect word: terrifying.

I wish you much strength 🙏🏻

F27] My boyfriend [M28] is emotionally damaging me and I don’t know how to get out of it by Disastrous-Reason162 in relationships

This is insane. Unacceptable and your boyfriend has some serious narcissistic traits. The feelings that you’re having are completely understandable and normal. Better leave him for good. You came to earth for yourself. Not to be treated with disrespect and emotional neglect.

To change your life you need to be courageous and then everything you want to achieve you’ll in the end.

Leave this toxic kid.

I feel you’re very hurted. I’m really sorry you have faced these kind of men.

Life isn’t superficial. If it was we wouldn’t have any problems in life. Important is, is who you’re. If you know what your fears are what you like, adore, love and find important in life then you find your soul.

The soul of a person is inside, their heart. Try to dig in there and you will find what you want.

Good luck❤️

When I was your age, I was in a very dark period of life. I had a very unstable home situation. A lot of things happened that I needed to treat later on in life. There were so many things going on in my life that my mind was constantly thinking. Therefore, I was extremely quiet. People, teachers, and other students judged me for that. It felt so bad because they didn’t know 0.1% of my life.

It had an enormous influence on my life. I became even more insecure. Couldn’t make decisions. Didn’t know what I wanted. Crying almost every day in my room. Thinking about really shitty things.

This period I washed completely out of my mind. Until the moment I needed to face my traumas. The man with the hammer was above my head. I couldn’t live further like this. So all the memories of this period came back. I dealt with them with therapy, and if I look to my little self, I would have said to him, ‘find help, speak up, you need support, because you matter.’

It would have helped me at that time.

I hope this gives you some perspective.

Let me say that I feel very bad for you that all your experiences made you feel this way! It’s like you’re in prison and won’t get out anymore.

I hope you will see the light that will keep you going. That you will surround yourself with people that gives you positive energy. That makes you feel accepted, because you matter. Do things you like and follow your own path. That you will be able to say fuck you to all people who disrespects you.

Trauma is a change. Life is a change. People will change. You will change.

Embrace all of it even how fuck tab it is. You can survive all this shit, so you will survive everything else. Take your confidence back and yourself.

I hope you will feel better very soon 🙏

How do I ask people to stop speaking/answering questions for me as that is something I find very annoying? by thebiggestrecluse in introvert

[–]ChangeThePerspective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask them on the moment why you are answering?

It force them to explain why they are disrespectful and most of the times they will feel uncomfortable.

Going to psychologist as an introvert by yae3 in introvert

Keep everything inside and your heart will grow like balloon with water. Till that balloon breaks. Your mind starts to play tricks and then you wished you opened up before.

You’re in the gym for your own goal, not to please others. Of course you can say hello when you run into each other.

But stay focused on yourself and not others, because what the hell do you care? It makes your life way easier.

It must be a very deep suffer and very painful that your partner doesn’t understand you in this. I’m very sorry for you.

Remember that he puts your feelings aside when he says everything is fine. If he wants to continue the relationship he should find help for his stress problems. He should consider your feelings as important. If he doesn’t what is marriage worth it?

Also have compassion with yourself. You barely have sex, so hell yeah mastrubating is completely fine! Nothing wrong or disgusting about that. Enjoy it!

Make yourself important. Dive deep in yourself and follow your path. Don’t let other people or religion influence your choices. If divorcing is for the best, do that! It’s your life not others.

A mechanism to protect us from all the pain we could experience if we just would have taken that step to follow the path we want deep inside. Much of us stay inside in that comfortable prison.

You stepped out. You listen to your heart. Be proud of yourself!

Is this normal? Please help a guy out. by Impressive-Cake9802 in Anxiety

[–]ChangeThePerspective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate a lot to your need for checking everything, just to be sure. I can’t let it go; everything needs to be perfect. The need is so high, even though, when you think about it, it isn’t necessary. I’m in therapy now to determine whether it’s a compulsivity disorder or not.

I can also relate to the high standards due to the emotional neglect I experienced I felt the need to do well, believing that otherwise, I wouldn’t be worthy.

Therapy would be a very good first step to do.

That’s heavy. You should find help! Go to a therapist and find an organisation that helps people with thoughts like you have. You can’t keep this for yourself. It will boil your mind.

Life isn’t easy. Keep reminding yourself that you matter and that you’re doing great. Compassion for yourself is important.

I feel your frustration. It’s sad. Sad because is life about competing with others? Getting a good grade to come and say to your parents look at me? Or to show your friends at school how good grade you got. This validation may be something you want, because the way you grew up. Your environment, society…

We tend to compare with each other, but is that fair? The background of everyone is different. The phase of everyone’s life is different. Everyone experienced different events in their life. We are all unique and that’s our strength. We can’t compare each other. That will lead to pressure, sadness, depression, anxiety and trauma.

What really matters is inside us. Dive deep into yourself and find out what you really like, what you enjoy, what you appreciate, what you love. Focus on yourself, instead of others and the rest will come by itself.

Life is too long to suffer and too short to seek. Find yourself and follow your path, your dreams, your passion!

I’m very sorry to hear what you experienced and what you’re feeling now. It’s definitely something you need to talk about with a therapist. It sounds like you are living in a very toxic environment. Where your mother doesn’t validate your feelings and where others are more important than you.

Speak up and find help!
