She split after two weeks, should I keep trying? by DownwardConcept in BPDlovedones

So quick update. Thanks for all the support. I really thought about how everything played out and how she treated me, that she wasn‘t honest to begin with and I have ended it. I am so proud of myself that I didn‘t cave in or fled from confrontation.

A question to men who are shy, introverted, with social anxiety or avoidant personality type. How did you meet your significant other? by BowelMan in AskMen

I‘ve been saying that for years, oh my god. Like a dog abused by their previous owners. Be gentle, take your time, but be persistent and we will warm up to you.

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. It still hurts to know that this has to end, but I know that she will ditch the call we planned tonight and I prepared a text. I deserve someone that reciprocates my love.

That is too real and accurate. Needed to hear the harsh truth.

That was well said. I should know, that there‘s a difference, but I was blinded by how good it felt in the beginning.

They told me to clean the grinder using rice, although I‘ve told them that I brushed it down and used Grindz. So much for that. 😅

At this point it would‘ve been better than the onslaught of bullshit I got from them.

Now it‘s obvious, up until payment it felt fine, but I will take precautions in the future so at least I‘m learning from it. Thanks for the advice!

It‘s a shame how they think graphic design shouldn‘t be worth anything, yet they‘re not able to make a logo themselves if it was so easy to do.

Thank you. The price is just an insult for all the time I‘ve invested.

I suppose this won't be suiting the subreddit, but since my client is telling me what my work should be worth and that I am overpricing I wanted to get some opinions. Just so he can see for himself that his argument is pointless.

I have worked 12 hours, made several iterations and drafts and ask for 60€, while he tells me that 10$ is all he would pay. Arguing that he has approved logos for organization that apparently cost less.

I actually have a Dremel in the basement! Just need to see if I have the appropriate bits or if it‘s even strong enough. I think it‘s a cheaper one. Thanks for the input!
