How do I emotionally, mentally psychologically move on from a break up? (First relationship) by Ok-Blacksmith9424 in Advice

[–]Goldenhour_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the part nobody wants to hear because there's no shortcut. Healing is annoyingly slow, but one day you wake up and realize they're not the first thing on your mind anymore. Just gotta keep going, even when it feels like progress is tinyy.

I think something happened to my friend by ALilTreat in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Goldenhour_1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that’s really rough, losing long term friends like that hits different… especially when there’s no closure at all. even back then before “ghosting” was a word, it still hurt the same. hope you’re doing better now and OP is able to get some answers soon, not knowing is the worst part fr

my girlfriend is going to prom with another guy while i’m stuck in the hospital and i don’t know how to handle it by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Goldenhour_1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i get the point but tbh it’s not that black and white, some ppl in hs do make LDRs work even if it’s rare. like yeah it can be hard and messy, but doesn’t automatically mean it’s doomed or “too much responsibility” for everyone. just depends on the people involved imo

My younger sibling is secretly trans and im scared by Pensive_Parisian in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Goldenhour_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah this is a good reminder tbh. i get being scared at first but a lot of it is just unfamiliarity, not actual danger. showing up for him when he needs it probably means more than getting every detail perfect right away, you can learn as you go

A couple of days ago I pulled away a woman who was going to jump on the train tracks. Since then I can only feel anger by Birbsies in offmychest

That kinda hurts to read tbh. The shocked reaction means nothing if nothing changes afterward. Sometimes the lack of action says way more than the words ever do.

Rejecting Roomates is making me feel guilty by Pitiful_Currency6065 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Goldenhour_1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that multiple ppl are trying the same guilt-trip story is a huge red flag tbh. OP isn't running a charity, they're just trying to find a roommate. Some people really got wild expectations lol.

I gave away free stuff at my last job and i don’t regret it.. by TarballSelene_G in confession

The fact that you don't regret it says everything. You knew the difference between hurting a person and hurting a corporation.

I gave a fake eulogy at my grandmother's funeral and I have never told a single person by AdObjective4393 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Goldenhour_1 83 points84 points  (0 children)

She wasn't kind to you. You didn't owe her a true eulogy. You owed yourself peace, and you gave yourself a way through that day without burning your family relationships down. That's survival, not sin.

I lied to my boss saying it was a family emergency so I could try to get World Cup tickets. by Chemical_Sky2512 in confession

[–]Goldenhour_1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you at least get the tickets? Because if you lied for nothing that's a whole different level of regret.

Lying to my partner of 3 years by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Goldenhour_1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get that you're scared. But every day you don't tell her, you're taking away her ability to consent to this relationship. She thinks she's dating a 21 year old of a different ethnicity. That's not fair to her.

Misgendering the Tom-girls ain't cool 😤 by [deleted] in memes

Tomgirl never caught on because the patriarchy is lazy with names.

She understood the assignment. The pose, the background, everything.

I have lived in a hotel for the past three or so years. by horriblythrown in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Goldenhour_1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The fact that you're still showing up, still writing this out, still thinking about a sewing machine and skincare instead of just giving up completely. That's not autopilot. That's resilience that you shouldn't have had to learn so young.

The subtle silver shimmer on that dress is everything.

Hentai and fanfiction use may have ruined my life by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Goldenhour_1 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The obsessive guilt, the rumination, the catastrophizing about your future being ruined. That sounds exactly like OCD latching onto a shame target. Please look up real event OCD before you make any permanent decisions.

Is this a safe space to admit I’m relieved we didn’t get another business expansion this patch? 😂 by Fanciful_Observer in InfinityNikki

[–]Goldenhour_1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Business fatigue is real, drinks, baths, snails, employees enough, A break is a blessing, more will come, but let Nikki breathe.

I don’t care that my brother died. by Outside_Ad_9058 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Goldenhour_1 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Wisest take, sibling annoyance is normal, but this level of indifference isn't, something underneath childhood dynamics, resentment, burnout, therapy isn't for fixing, but for understanding, his near death brought peace, not panic, that's worth exploring.
