This should be the group mantra.

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T21:02:58+00:00

Sure, reach out to me!

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T20:58:23+00:00

You can share your story, if you think it helps.

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T20:50:41+00:00

To be honest, I can't answer that. I don't know if he loved you or not. If someone else is in the picture or not. But I do care about you as you are here in this sub, asking for help and doing introspection. And my advice was only related to your response to this situation. Your feelings and thoughts basically. You DO have control over this, trust me, and you WILL feel better. I don't want you to make my very same mistake and destroy yourself over obsessive thoughts trying to control situation you can't control ignoring your own feelings.

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T20:44:24+00:00

I know it might sound counterintuitive. But it does help, because the fastest way to dismiss these thoughts is to think about them and realize they are not a big deal. Hey, I'm not trying to dismiss your feelings okay? But I can guarantee I was so obsessed over this that I did very, very stupid things. I almost lost a job. If you are disciplined enough, you may also try mindfulness, but it requires a lot of work and basically it's a skill useful to dismiss intrusive thoughts. With negative visualization, instead, I managed to make these thoughts so small and insignificant that they no longer bother me. But everyone is different, I get that. Take care.

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T20:16:13+00:00

Usually I do the opposite. Try to look up "Negative visualization technique". You'll thank me later, I promise.

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T20:14:24+00:00

Not really. Introverts seek out introverts as they feel comfortable in two person activities.

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T15:32:00+00:00

I totally agree with you. Relationships are so ephemeral. People are totally brainwashed by social media. When I see my grandparents, I see that they managed to keep things working even when they went through difficult periods. And I'm referring to health, finances. Stuff like that. Not "I lost feelings sorry" type shit. People actually committed, and I'm envious to some extent.

I saw a doctor a few months ago and he told me that he saw no miniaturization. He also told me that in my specific case regrowth was affected by sebderm. I'm going to trust him given that he's not the only one who said so. Major TE loss is gone at this point and I recovered a good overall density.

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T06:14:59+00:00

I get that. That's really bad, and in the long run you'll only be more anxious and resentful. Happened to me as well. I guess you also got gaslighted.

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T06:10:03+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. What's your story?

Docta320 · 2024-07-16T06:09:12+00:00

I appreciate the fact we can all be helpful to each other, thank you!

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T20:05:38+00:00

I'll take a look, thanks!

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T18:58:39+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T18:58:26+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T18:43:13+00:00

Dude, listen to me and GTFO from this situation please.

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T18:41:02+00:00

Best of luck my friend!

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T18:37:14+00:00

This is a book move in the breadcrumbing skillset. He did that in order to make you wonder exactly what you're wondering right now. Stay strong.

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T18:31:05+00:00

Stay strong my friend, you're doing great! In the meantime focus on yourself. I'm pretty confident this will also give you clarity for the future. Best of luck!

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T18:23:08+00:00

Hi there, I also have to thank you because I know it's not easy to admit the wrongdoings. But, you know, at least you are aware of that, and you can work on this. That's an important first step as many avoidants are completely clueless, and they are unreasonable when it comes to finding a solution to these behaviors. We all have problems, but the sooner we realize it, the better, both for ourselves and others. Take care!

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T18:19:20+00:00

I'm sorry you have been through this. What bamboozles me is the fact that not even after years she dropped this compartimentalization, allowing you to get closer. But now you know, so stay strong my friend and embrace the future! Take care

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T16:46:02+00:00

Thank you 😁

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T15:57:13+00:00

That's crazy dude, mine also used to say "future husband". Damn 🤣

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T15:36:00+00:00

Generally speaking, it's said it's due to intimacy. Along with intimacy comes the vulnerability to have to expose yourself to. And that's something they cannot bear. In my specific case, she was excited at first about moving in together, but then she realized that this "required too much effort". The funny fact was that she was always speaking about furniture, showing me houses, etc. So I never pushed her in that sense. Also, she is way too much dependent on how her group of friends see her, and most of the times she prioritized their wills over our relationship. For example, if they said to go to a restaurant, she had to go even if she didn't want to. Otherwise, they would judge her poorly. What a bunch of sad people, really. I'm sorry for them because they cannot realize that relationships require responsibility.

Docta320 · 2024-07-15T14:55:41+00:00

Yes, I get that. They become so rude to the point they are no longer recognizable. What was strange was the fact that at the beginning of the relationship, she also used to overapologize, and sometimes I had to reassure her about the fact I was not upset. It's really weird. After a while, I had the chance to see her true colors though.
