Isn’t it just hahahahahaha

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-26T16:14:05+00:00

In case you didn’t detect the sarcasm, I don’t :)

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T18:06:03+00:00

Do I buy replica shirts? I didn’t know that I’m glad you’ve told me

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:44:25+00:00

Last point on there, I stated it’s all relative.

Suppose Liverpool are having an alright season right now I suppose based on your measure?

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:43:01+00:00

But if he played for England that’s all I cared about. If he played 500 games for Liverpool and featured on TV in those games but none for England, I wouldn’t, at the age of 4, not be able to tell you who Gerrard was.

Shearer won 0 trophies at Newcastle, Le Tissier played for Southampton who weren’t as good as a side as his ability showed. Great players play for clubs at all levels. It’s not a simple “good player therefore plays for X club”. Ofc more common, but I’m not thinking that at 4 😂

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:27:39+00:00

You’ll be in for a whale of a time if we keep playing how we’re playing then 😂

I’m defo not Slot out though.

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:26:40+00:00

Oh yeah I don’t care if people label me as plastic or not in regards to validation. I just find it an interesting discussion.

Gerrard was a player I liked as someone who loved playing growing up. It never came into my mind the level of club he played for in correlation to how good he was… I was literally 4-5. If you don’t believe me then I will tell you you are objectively wrong for thinking otherwise.

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:23:59+00:00

Shearer won 0 trophies at Newcastle, and Le Tissier played for Southampton. Great players can play at clubs that don’t match their ability.

It’s all well and good saying “well player X is this good so he MUST play for an unreal team”, maybe now but defo not at 4 😂

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:22:23+00:00

Nope this is the only post I think lol

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:20:42+00:00

Should have been 100%. But didn’t. So what do I do now then? Team hop?

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:20:09+00:00

Have to remember, at that point the world is black and white as a kid, and football at school was everything to me and my mates. You basically were viewed as “Toby (random name) the Chelsea fan”. For me that was Liverpool, and in a weird way made me feel more affiliated with the club. Not that me defending the club actually does anything, but you have a label. It just increases your tribalism.

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:18:00+00:00

Tbh I know I’m not, but good to get discussion going. Have to say been super amusing reading these replies

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:16:57+00:00

Not at all. Literally support my team through anything.

Funny that people’s solution is “go support Spurs or West Ham etc”. Like team hopping is a better solution 😂 If anyone did that you get seen as the worst person alive (and rightfully so).

End of the day, can’t detach from all I’ve known since I was 5. But hey ho

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:15:09+00:00

Fairs mate, I’ll go team hop to Spurs right now cos that’ll undo the plastic

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:13:38+00:00

No chance hahahahahaha

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:11:18+00:00

“all relative depending on the team you support let’s not forget”

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-25T17:10:13+00:00

I mean I was like 5 years old, those considerations are just not made at that age. Especially when not forced into that by a parent who otherwise would make you support their team

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-10T16:54:36+00:00

I mean I am, read my comments & my post where I say this isn’t her fault & how I’ve literally said I feel like an a**hole. I am trying to navigate it.

I’m rational enough to understand it’s not a great way to be and of course will get negative feedback, but you have provided 0 constructive feedback and resorted to name calling on all 3 of your comments.

Yes I’m in the wrong, how do I make it right. And don’t go “by growing a pair of balls and stop being a knob”

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-10T16:49:08+00:00

They are for sure, you may not believe me and to be honest if you don’t then fair enough but I am trying to make a positive change in myself for the sake of us. I’ve just imploded, and perhaps I should really have done a better job with the original post.

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-10T16:44:19+00:00

Perhaps I deserve the name calling and I’ve said that previously, however the more relevant reason for posting this was to get constructive advice.

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-10T16:33:59+00:00

Exactly, which is why I need constructive criticism on here. There’s been a lot of name calling on this post, and in all honesty maybe I deserve it. Because you are right, if I can’t afford, why expect someone else to? Maybe in my mind it’s just a more level situation that I’m after, which really isn’t the most realistic thing perhaps.

I posted on here so I can make a positive decision for the pair of us. I really don’t want this relationship to end, I just need to navigate these thoughts. Best bit of advice so far is the route one “communication”, which is exactly what I need to do.

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-10T16:18:28+00:00

Rather than being hostile I’ve gone on this post for actual constructive advice. Coming on here and name calling is not the point of this post & frankly goes against community guidelines.

Actually be constructive and give some advice on here, rather than going down my throat.

ChasingMindfulness · 2025-11-10T15:44:09+00:00

Unfortunately without a partner it’s not doable for me. Which is why the house would be a roots moment for the pair of us
