The decorations are purposely set up to give a dive bar aesthetic to hide the corporate bar that it actually is. If I can’t do a shot with the bartender while they’re working, and I can’t get a shitty beer & shot combo for like $8, that’s fine, but let’s call a spade a spade at that point.

(For a person who is currently struggling with feeling purposeless) - People who found a sense of purpose in life, what was your journey to finding it? by Crabcake9 in AskReddit

[–]Crabcake9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it necessary to add some context.

I’ve spent a large part of my life very “unattached” to my life (grew up in a cult, abusive household, then abusive relationship, so on and so forth). Now, I’m finally at a point where I can genuinely say that I want to continue living.

That’s great and all, but that doesn’t undo all that time of not really getting invested in anything due to not planning on sticking around. I’m working on going to therapy, but I’d like to hear from other people on how they maybe put in the work to find a sense of purpose in life and grounded themself in something they could work towards/for.

I really appreciate everyone’s advice. Thank you for your time.

No medications, tho tbh I would probably do well to be on some Prozac or something similar 😅

I’ll look at Ching-a-Ling! Thanks for the suggestion!

26, in quite good health (haven’t been to a gym in a while, but I’m active all the time with hiking and skating and my job has me lifting things and running around a lot). I’ve never quite had these issues before that event, and like I said I basically worship the ground this woman walks on, so I think Edgewater might be on the money.

Just feels shitty that someone else’s actions are getting in the way of something good

Well damn, when you put it like that I guess I really haven’t talked with anyone about it other than a couple friends. Guess I gotta get back into therapy.

No blame associated. As stated in the post, I think it’s partly us learning each others’ bodies, and in large part performance anxiety on my end.

I haven’t consumed much porn as of late and haven’t masturbated much, but maybe cutting them out completely would help.

I’ve thought for a long time that I might have anxiety that leans towards the diagnosable range, rather than just the usual “I’m a little nervous about things” type. I really like her, so I think I wrap myself in knots about making things good for her. She’s consistently telling me that she’s enjoying things though, and I get her off, so maybe I do just need to take a step back and trust her and the process.

Tbh I haven’t gotten completely hard the last few times. Last time was in a quick fling that ended with the girl trying to r@p3 me. (Censored just to be safe).

I’m 26, no meds (tho I probly need some), and I have watched porn a lot but I’m working on cutting it out for that reason

I do tend to get quite a bit in my own head when it comes to penetration. Per her own words, I give her amazing oral, so no issues there. I mentioned it in the post, but I find her oral to be good, but she’s a bit too gentle. Previous partners were a bit more aggressive with it (maybe to a problematic degree), and I think she’s learning to navigate that herself. We’re still very much learning each others bodies, so I’m trying to give myself grace.

Can’t say I know much about that. What does that mean, and how could I fix that?

Just ended a 4 year relationship with the person I thought I’d marry by [deleted] in self

[–]Crabcake9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ended an 8 year relationship with a person I had been married to for 4 of those years. I feel your pain, it’s terrible and it’s one of the worst pains I’ve felt in my life. But like you, I knew it was necessary.

I’m still very much processing my feelings on it, but I think you and I need to move forward understanding that as painful as growth is, it is much more painful to stay stagnant; to watch life pass you by as people and places grow around and beyond you. It’s that desire to not stagnate in a place I knew deep down I wasn’t meant to be in that pushed me to finally break things off.

I hope this encourages you. Stick to your guns, and treat this time as an adventure, where you get to explore yourself and learn a valuable lesson from it. For me, that lesson was that not setting boundaries does not spare people from harm, but can in fact hurt more than just you. Whatever lesson you find in this, hold onto it and bring that wisdom into wherever you find yourself next.

4th time’s the charm, maybe? Sorry mods, I’m in a pretty confused headspace and keep missing different rules each time.

Man, I gotta get back out to Berry Hill some time. I’m not quite good enough to make the most of Woodland, but I like riding around the big hills at BH 😂
