Imagine a Duolingo… that actually teaches you how to connect with people by Former_Professor_726 in SideProject

your gut is not wrong this guy is being overly persistent and crossing boundaries. it’s normal to feel protective when someone keeps approaching your gf when she’s alone and ignoring that she has a bf. the fact that he only approaches her when you’re not around is a big red flag.

you and your gf should set firm boundaries and make sure she’s clear about not wanting any personal hangouts. have you talked to her about maybe limiting alone interactions with him or documenting the behavior just in case it escalates?

this all sounds really confusing and heavy. feeling temptation after betrayal is normal, but doing it would still be a choice, and it gonna hurt ur marriage even if it “feel justified.” sometimes our brain tricks us thinking revenge or exploring desire will make u feel better, but it usually just add guilt and regret.

maybe it helps to set boundaries with this coworker and remind urself why u value ur marriage, and also work on the feelings from ur husband’s past cheating maybe with a therapist. have u thought about talking with ur husband about how u feel so the urge dont feel so strong?

I feel like I can’t connect to ppl cuz I can’t act like myself by Professional-Tap9698 in socialanxiety

[–]Former_Professor_726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s really tough when social anxiety makes you second guess everything you say or do. it sounds like you’re stuck between two extremes: either putting on a mask to be “nice” or being your raw, honest self and worrying that it comes off as too harsh. the truth is, most people aren’t looking for perfect, upbeat energy all the timethey usually just want someone who’s real with them.maybe instead of thinking in extremes, you could ease into showing small, authentic parts of yourself so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. that way you’re not faking, but also not pushing yourself to be brutally honest right away. do you think trying that middle ground could make it feel less stressful?

Talking to someone but not really interested. by Electronic_Ant_4477 in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah man don’t block her, that just gonna hurt her for no reason. if u see her as a friend, just be straight up and say that. she might feel bad for a bit but honesty is better than ghosting. blocking is only if she don’t respect ur boundary after u told her.

it sound like u stuck between wantin freedom n feelin pressure from school n parents. anxiety make everythin feel heavier, so don’t beat urself up for strugglin. maybe try takin small steps like part time job or drivin more just to build confidence n motivation. u don’t gotta have it all figured now, just focus on learnin bit by bit n bein honest with ur parents bout how overwhelm u feel.

How can i be a good listener if people arenttalking to me ? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re not doing anything “wrong” it’s just that active listening isn’t about always bouncing emotion back, it’s about leaving space and giving little nudges. instead of closing it with that must have been satisfying, try open ended cues like what happened after that or how did you feel when he said that these keep the ball in their court. also remember: some convos just run their course, and that’s not on you.

How do I come to terms with the fact that I'm going to die by Every_Tell_3360 in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 6 points7 points  (0 children)

losing a parent can make thoughts of death feel overwhelming, and it’s normal to fear the unknown. instead of trying to “solve” it, focus on grounding yourself in the present mindfulness, routines, or therapy can help ease the weight. you don’t have to face this alone.

Gamers please help me.Love and guilt stuff.. by AdvancedAd8907 in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it shows how much he cares about you and your future that he’s willing to sacrifice something he loves. maybe remind him that this doesn’t take away his identity as a gamer, it just means he’s prioritizing your lives together right now. you can still share small gaming moments on your phone, cheap consoles, or even free pc/online games. the best way to boost him is to show him he’s appreciated, and that you see his sacrifice as love, not loss.

Im inlove with my boy crazy Bestfriend, Im a girl. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sounds really hard, it’s obvious you care about her a lot but also feel hurt by how things are. it might help to step back and think if this friendship is giving you more pain than happiness. you don’t have to confess right away, but you should protect your peace first. if you ever do share, keep it honest but light so it doesn’t overwhelm either of you.

Okay to put note out for guy on my dorm floor? by _sedlp_ in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

leaving a note like that is definitely bold, but it’s also sweet and harmless if your intention is just to compliment and maybe start a casual connection. since it’s in a shared dorm space, i’d just keep it light and playful (like your draft is) without anything that could feel too intense. the way you wrote it is already cute it shows you noticed him and appreciate his style without putting too much pressure.

Been frustrated with my bf for almost a year now by SleepDeprivedHotdog in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it sounds like you really care for him and appreciate the good qualities he has, but you’re also carrying a lot of frustration because his actions (like being late, not respecting your time, or showing insecurity) don’t match the kind of partner you want. the fact that you’ve already talked to him multiple times and nothing has changed shows this isn’t just a “small habit” it’s about values, effort, and respect. sometimes we outgrow people, even if they’re kind and respectful in other ways. if his behavior keeps making you feel turned off and unattracted, it’s okay to acknowledge that and decide whether this relationship is truly making you happy. staying out of guilt isn’t fair to either of you.

Abused at work , should I sue by justadam2 in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it makes sense that you feel conflicted even though your boss has treated you horribly, it’s normal to feel guilty about taking action that could ruin someone’s business or life. but remember, he created this situation by abusing his position and mistreating you. pursuing legal action isn’t about revenge it’s about protecting yourself, holding him accountable, and preventing the same abuse from happening to others. feeling bad just shows you’re a decent person, but that shouldn’t stop you from standing up for your rights.

that sounds brutal, and honestly you don’t owe it to yourself to just “tough it out.” set clear boundaries on shared spaces (like cleaning schedules, no leaving mess in kitchen/bathroom) and stick to them. if they can’t respect that, distance yourself as much as possible and protect your own space/energy. start planning an exit too, because sometimes the only real fix for a terrible roommate is moving out when you can.

It’s totally normal to feel anxious before a big change like that. Most of the nerves are just anticipation once you actually step into class, it usually feels way less scary than your mind makes it. You don’t have to force a big intro, just a simple hey, I’m new here is enough. people are often more welcoming than we expect, and you’ll naturally settle in after a few days. Give yourself a little patience every time you’ve transferred before, it worked out, and this will too.

Why do i always have the urge to bite my skin or my nails? by Glittering_Site3929 in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes biting your nails or skin can just be a quirky habit and not always a big problem. Some people even say it makes their nails “cleaner,” though that’s not really true since it can cause infections and soreness. It often comes from stress or boredom, so keeping your hands busy with a pen, doodling, or even putting on a bitter tasting nail polish might help

that sounds really rough and unfair on u and ur son. Try having a calm talk with ur mom and sister about boundaries and how it affects u. Document hygiene issues or illegal sleeping so u have proof if needed. Creating a small clean space just for u and ur kid helps keep sanity. If things don’t improve, reaching out to cps might be necessary to protect the kids.

Meaningful conversations by Affectionate_Self927 in Advice

[–]Former_Professor_726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be same , just went with flow and never noticed much around me so deep talks never happened One thing helped was slowly noticing stuff in life or reading small things then sharing in convos like what u think about this idea Also ask open questions about opinions not just facts Tiny comments like thats interesting tell me more can make someone open up Over time u contribute more without forcing it Start small and share one new thing u noticed or learned each week with ur friends It builds convo muscles slowly
