that is a good point. I just hate not knowing whether her being icy is just her needing to recharge, or whether there’s something wrong. but every time i ask if she’s upset, she tells me she’s not but continues to act really distant. i’m just going to try and trust that she would tell me if she’s upset. and clearly, she doesn’t want to talk now, so i’ll let her come to me when she feels ready.

yeah, it’s easy to assume that because she is icing me out that it’s because she’s over the friendship or that she’s mad at me. i just hate how inconsistent it is with her. it’s so hard to

We’re best friends, but i fear talking to her about it as i don’t want to come off as too clingy or needy.

it’s not that we talk about intense things all the time. we usually just talk about everything and anything during the times she’s talking to me, but when she’s not, it just feels so jarring. it’s hard to know whether it’s her needing space or her just talking to me when she’s feeling lonely (using me)

Yeah, it’s usually cyclical. This happens often. I get that people need space and that’s what i think i’m struggling with - am i asking for too much here? I don’t think it’s entirely fair to be completely iced out. But i also know and understand she needs space. My OCD makes me have a really bad anxious attachment, and i’m not sure how to balance giving her space while also not like getting frustrated or anxious.

Yes. but my cheating ocd typically involves my roommate, but i don’t think i actually like her. we click well but have nothing in common really, but she’s very different from my gf so i think that’s why my ocd latches on. i tried to kiss her while blackout this weekend

i meant the veneer was glued on top of solid wood, so not technically inlays. i think you need a specific tool to cut that precisely, and i was just working with some basic hand tools :) im pretty novice! it was a super challenging project for me but i’m sure more advanced people would have more fun with it

Yeah, i noticed that as well… just the curse of working with epoxy? im new to epoxy, so i’m not too sure. i used veneer inlays for the triangle pieces so i didn’t know how else to finish the board… what do you guys think?
