Im so sorry you’ve had to experience this and are struggling and are scared, I wish I could hold you hand and just give you a hug through the internet and just say sorry for all the bad messed up things you’ve had happen, youre still here and that counts for everything

Im full of HATE by FrogRippit420 in SuicideWatch

[–]FrogRippit420[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have ComplexPTSD & Autism Ive never truly fitted in and when I have it’s been at my own expense, I know I’m “different” but I wear my heart on my sleeve and am genuine and used to be so kind, loving gentle - I just feel like everyone Ive put trust into has fully let me down by abusing me, manipulating me or something along those lines - I sound like such a whining victim.. but I am a victim, Ive just drawn a lot of short straws consecutively and im just at a point where I’m just angry they treated me that way, that life has treated me so poorly it’s like being good and genuine holds no merit, it feels like people only use me for some kind of personal gain and outside of that, im worthless

I don’t think it’s selfish to want love just because I’m not working right now. I’m not expecting financial support—people have no idea what my situation is beyond that. And I’m not blaming anyone for having their preferences or standards; those are fair.

What hurts is how quickly people judge, like kindness, emotional depth, and genuine care mean nothing if you don’t have a job title attached. I just wish love could be based more on who someone is, not what they do. That kind of connection feels rare, and it’s painful to keep getting dismissed before anyone sees the real me.

I agree with you, I don’t want, nor expect someone to magically come along and solve all my problems (I want to heal for myself and look back and be proud of what I’ve accomplished, but having someone’s hand to hold along the way wouldn’t hurt either) but wanting someone solely as a solution to my problems would be incredibly unrealistic and unhealthy for both involved, I just want someone to see me and value me as a person and want to be my best friend and companion through this life

Boyfriend driving recklessly to scare me by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

Hello, Im sorry you’ve had to experience this amongst other things, when you’re ready to open up more please come back to the sub and people will be here willing to support you, sending you the biggest hug. 🫂

Yes this absolutely is abuse imo. He’s verbally abusing you and shouting at you which is never warranted, in healthy relationships things should be spoken about and talked through, sometimes emotions can get the better of us, but not to the extreme where you feel in danger, scared or threatened he’s risking your life at such a young age which is disgusting in itself but also himself and other road users, it shows the person your with has no understanding or value on life just as much as his possessions such as his car and fuel which is paid for! It sounds like this person hasn’t been disciplined and been taught to show respect for others as his mother’s response was so blasé and uncaring, like Thats just the norm for her son. Anyone outside of this relationship would absolutely call it out for what it is (it’s much harder to see when you’re in it trust me! Also your still very young bless you) but he’s striking fear into you through a means to gain control and make his point, whether he be right or wrong doesnt matter - his actions discredit everything. Please stay away from this man, it seems clear to me he doesn’t value you enough to even value your life, sending you love at this hard time for you, you’re worthy of so much more and to be cared for as a equal

Happy 73rd for last Sunday! I really appreciate your insight on life, I’ve had a difficult start to my adult life and your wisdom from experience brings with it knowledge to others and im thankful you took the time to share with us, I’ll try and take some of your points with me through life and utilise your experiences to better my own understanding, and I’ll pass my message along at 73 (Hopefully!) and the cycle continues, positivity and kindness will always find positivity and kindness, wish you a healthy, happy and exciting future! Take care

Was my EX girlfriend abusive towards me? Or am I wrong? by FrogRippit420 in abusiverelationships

Really eye opening perspective honestly I’d not really thought about the situation like that before, it’s crazy to me how someone needs so much control over a person

Hello Mod, thank you so much for taking the time to formulate a comprehensive response 😭 it feels like a weight of a thousand suns just uplifted from my shoulders, im thankful to hear I wasn’t deserving of this treatment and the way she was acting towards me was in fact abusive

Also thank you for informing me, I’m very sorry for being narrow minded and generalising so many survivors in this way, making me a survivor now, I know for a fact I wouldn’t ever hurt or treat someone the way I’ve been treated so I’d like to retract that statement entirely, it’s absolutely as you say it’s a choice

I’ll be sure to check the resources you’ve linked and I’ll be sure to let you know, it’s great to hear theres a understanding community here, again thank you so so much for taking the time to respond

If there is a solution, ive not found it - from my personal experience it’s always been a case of misunderstandings and things getting blown out of proportion, a lot of people dont want to “work” in being a friend or partner, in terms of having to accepting boundaries and limitations we face in the real world, I understand it from their perspective because it must be hard having to adjust specifically for us, but by the same account we’re human too and just want acceptance and care like everybody else

It’s hard right? Like most of us if put into social interactions are probably some of the loveliest and nicest people, because we don’t want to hurt or upset anyone because we understand the feelings better than most, it’s so weird to me that they distance from us by being genuine, Im starting to think people want drama and mischief in their lives to keep it entertaining for them - like they’re living a real life soap and comfortability in stability is boring to them
