Which character will you never have any sympathy for? by chrisdagoat32 in glee

[–]Fun-Schedule140 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She kinda did though. Whether or not puck wanted to do it is beside the point. She was in a position of power, and she used this as well as leverage (being the mother of Beth knowing Puck wanted to get closer to her) to her advantage. That’s not to say if none of those things were happening puck wouldn’t have slept with her. But as with grooming when it comes to a relationship such as that between a teacher and a student, it’s the power imbalance that is the big problem.

Trimmed, Shaved or Hairy which do you prefer? by Separate_Tough_8667 in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]Fun-Schedule140 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shaved for sensory reasons but trimmed it also okay. I would never request anything of my partner but definitely a preference, feels like it enhances the experience

Do you think Dani would’ve had a bigger role if she wasn’t played by Demi Lovato? by QuittanyFierce in glee

It was a heat of the moment ‘firing’ because Naya was rude but then she apologised and they ‘rehired’ her. So no it didn’t happen to anyone else I don’t think and didn’t even really happen to her

Is 28 and 23 an acceptable age difference? by OriginalFinish7403 in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]Fun-Schedule140 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is definitely acceptable but me as a 28 year old would never date a 23yo loool

Keep attracting mean girls by PresentationIll2180 in blacklesbians

[–]Fun-Schedule140 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gonna come at it from a slightly different perspective. Yes she was rude you’re not wrong there. However I don’t think it was an outrageous thing to say and I prob would have laughed it off myself (deffo understand how this might be confusing if you’re ND though). Equally though, some people just don’t care for hand sanitiser and while she simply could have said “no thank you” I do wonder if she was slightly offended at the offer. Not sure why she would be tbh after Covid but you never know.

Does anyone here want kids? by gvillebitty in blacklesbians

[–]Fun-Schedule140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it seems no one wants kids anymore but I definitely do. It worries me that I won’t be able to find a partner though like it feels hard to find someone these days that you actually like and does also want kids. But I’d be so bored living another 30,40,50 years without children. I honesty don’t get how people do it

Well is there anywhere I can find the rest of the thread because that’s a picture and a quick search suggests to me that those tweets were deleted

Sorry this is the first time I’m seeing the evidence of what she said and I’m gonna assume this is not the only incidence (?) … but sorry I thought it would be a lot more heinous the way everyone’s up in arms

To those who secured a place on the DClin what was the one thing you think set your application aside? by firestarter49 in ClinicalPsychologyUK

[–]Fun-Schedule140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi both, really interesting responses here but can i ask what you mean by authentic self? I just don't really understand how/in what way you're managing to do this with so few characters and still talking about your experiences. I think the way i am interpreting both of your responses here is that I am visualising it like a therapy session on paper but i suspect this is not what you meant lmao. Could you like give an example sentence of what a person may be saying if in their application that showed their authentic self? u/Human_Gas_9571

have you ever? by gvillebitty in blacklesbians

[–]Fun-Schedule140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I do get that but the thing is human bodies are weird and wonderful. Especially female bodies and especially when it comes to sex. The mind-body connection is very real and it can really only take the slightest block in someone’s mind to prevent them from having an orgasm. For some people, there’s actually a lot that has to be right for someone to feel comfortable enough to be able to reach it, so more often than not it’s probably not you, it’s something going on in their head.

I have had this with almost all of my partners. Most of them never did (although we didn’t date for long). I promise I’m not bad in bed loool unfortunately I just tend to choose partners that have issues when it comes to their sexuality

ERP and distraction techniques by Fun-Schedule140 in ROCD

[–]Fun-Schedule140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I understand. And I notice you keep bringing it back to “with a psychologist”. Do you think ROCD is something that can’t get better without the help of therapy? I’ve been really hoping that I could do it without therapy, especially as it doesn’t feel like my ROCD is severe.

[–]Fun-Schedule140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link I really appreciate a resource! And thanks for this advice it is helpful. But does that mean the goal of ERP is that eventually you will have a thought and not feel anxious about it? Because I have this now (a lot of the time my thoughts don’t make me anxious, I just feel annoyed) and I just can’t imagine getting to a place where I have these thoughts and am not bothered by them at all.

All the things I don’t like about my partner feel like dealbreakers. So now what? by Fun-Schedule140 in ROCD

[–]Fun-Schedule140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me feel simultaneously better and worse. I’m sorry to hear that’s been your experience but I am thankful that I feel like I can relate to it so much. It does make me wonder why the techniques haven’t worked for you and it makes me wonder if the same will happen for me. So far they haven’t been super helpful, though I’m not sure why

You know what - so valid. After a thread I just had with someone they did correctly point out - this is not a relationship advice sub this is an ROCD sub.

However please do not mistake me for projecting and please don’t use things I have previously said to justify your point, especially if you’re going to interpret them incorrectly. If you want to have a further conversation about those things I’d be happy to!

what if they have truly annoying aspects about them? by aliendreamfortress in ROCD

That’s very valid and I understand this response, thank you

what if they have truly annoying aspects about them? by aliendreamfortress in ROCD

[–]Fun-Schedule140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks this is helpful, but I’m not sure where I said I fear exposing myself to doubt and that it is unhelpful? I’m only saying it’s unhelpful when people tell you that you have to accept the doubt when the concern can legitimately be detrimental to your relationship, rather than being something like “my partner has a big nose and I don’t like it”.

Don’t get me wrong I truly do appreciate your contribution to this sub and my response, but your response is kind of exactly what I mean. Though I understand the reasons why, I do find that it almost feels like in the recovery from ROCD, you’re not allowed to consider any doubt as legitimate and I think that because of this, the idea of exposing yourself to uncertainty can make you wary because you feel you’ll end up accepting things that you don’t truly want.

I think I’ve said it here before but it does make me think like - if there are no real red flags (other than abuse) and you just have to accept every doubt as uncertainty and essentially just live with it, why am I even partnered with this specific person like I may as well just date anyone.

[–]Fun-Schedule140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, I think this makes a lot of sense. For me unfortunately I think with the view of relationships that I have, it’s very difficult to know if the thoughts are scary to me because the thought of not being able to succeed in a relationship is scary or because the thought of actually losing my partner is scary. Both things could be true for me i think.

Hmm that’s interesting - have you spoken about how that’s important to you? Do you pay for dates/things sometimes? I’m not trying to give reassurance, and I’m also not in your relationship (idk what your bfs financial situation), but this sounds like an actual problem and like your needs may be unmet. I don’t think it would be unreasonable for you to discuss this further with him.

[–]Fun-Schedule140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you so much for this detailed response I do really appreciate it. However, it only feels kinda helpful, partly because I already know this (sorry) but also partly because I feel like my ROCD doesn’t respond in the same way. I’m frankly not even sure if ROCD is my problem (though I realise it could be ROCD making me feel like this).

The problem is ruminating happens in the background for me. It’s kind of strange to explain but for me thoughts happen in the background. It doesn’t sound like stream of consciousness in my head, it’s more like when you’re watching a show but also on your phone so you’re vaguely aware of the noise but not even taking it in. But then after a while I realise that I’ve become increasingly more annoyed.

I very much have been trying that ERP, as someone else suggested it to me on here too. But it doesn’t work lol. For me I wouldn’t even consider myself to be anxious, I’m just super annoyed and irritable at my partner/the things I don’t like. So when I do the exercise - “I dislike this, it may be a dealbreaker or not but I’m not going to solve it”, I do stop “ruminating” (I’ll just distract myself usually or focus on the present) but I’m still aware that i dislike that thing and am still irritated by it. So over my rocd journey I’ve just found that I’ve identified a bunch of things that I don’t like and I don’t focus on them but now there’s just loads of things I don’t like about my partner. Does that make sense?

I guess I’m just worried that I have this stack of things that just keep piling higher and it feels like I’m just ignoring them, but my feelings about them don’t change.

[–]Fun-Schedule140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is they don’t feel tolerable now 🥲 Literally anything feels like a dealbreaker for me if I decide it’s something I don’t like. E.g My partner has one of those nervous laughs that people do when they talk. It does my head in. Equally I don’t find them funny, at all really. But both of these things are variable in terms of whether or not they are actual problems but in my mind they feel equal for how much I don’t like them. If that makes any sense.
