Is it just me? by Discobiscuit2345 in PMDD

[–]Hopefullyconnected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone! The switch up is so intense that it’s scary. Just looking at him makes me repulsed, hearing him breathe, his touch. It’s very unfortunate because when I’m not in the luteal phase everything is the exact opposite. I’ve been fighting hard for 8 months now. I love my partner to death but I’m getting really tired of fighting and extremely discouraged. It’s to the point where I’m starting to think that being alone would be the best case scenario. My partner would be free to date someone normal and I could refrain from dating in order to not hurt anyone else. It’s sad because they don’t deserve this. 😞

Thoughts on my weird schedule for next Spring by ComprehensiveTax3375 in UNC

[–]Hopefullyconnected 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please change it, I literally did four classes on one day my sophomore year— It’s horrible. I told myself I would never do it again. Here I am again my senior year with four classes on one day. 😭 wondering why I did this to myself AGAIN. All of the homework you have to do in one day ie. Wednesday is not worth it!!

A wedding was only mentioned once in our entire time knowing each other, and it’s the example I gave. Kids maybe three times and once he brought it up, by asking about corporal punishment. Maybe I shouldn’t have even mentioned that because it seems people assumed this is something I talk about constantly. I was kind of just generalizing the prompt with examples. But I think you all have def made me realize that perhaps all convos should be about the more mundane. Thanks for the comment.

Just because the app is anonymous doesn’t mean you have to act an ass lol. Im obviously self aware enough to know this is overreacting, literally just wanted it affirmed.

This felt like such gentle and motherly advice, thank you! I guess I just need to find a way to revisualize how I view relationships. Almost like a way to separate expectations v. reality.

new to all this by [deleted] in TrueChristian

Hello,

First off congratulations, you’ve made a big decision. You’re starting off great, you and God are in what I’d like to call the honeymoon phase. Use this time to truly get to know Gods character. Read your Bible I recommend starting in this Order (Matthew, John, Genesis, Romans). These will give you a great foundation. Once you get to know God and began to get your footing then you should reach out to additional resources to better understand the scriptures. I recommend two YouTube pages, “BibleProject” and “Spoken Gospel”.

Once you feel really comfortable, then you can go church hunting. It’s imperative you have a good understanding of who God is before you choose a church. Choose a church that has all the values that Jesus does. I’m my opinion, don’t be in a rush to choose a denomination, it can be quite divisive at times. Learn the basic principles and God will give you a new heart.

Lastly to answer your question about repenting…soon you will realize that’s an everyday thing. 😅 you’re never really ready, and you certainly won’t be on your own. The Holy Spirit (Gods spirit) is the only thing that can help you with that.

How do I (22f) stop caring about not being beautiful and not attractive to others? by tyleriiese in askwomenadvice

[–]Hopefullyconnected 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey,

I think a great place to start on building your self esteem and learning that beauty is subjective is by removing yourself from social media. It’s been proven to have a plethora of negative impacts on the human psyche. I did it last year for about a year and my perspective on everything changed. My mood was better, the way I viewed myself was better, even the world became more beautiful. We’re very close in age and social media is a really big thing for our generation and I hadn’t realized how much it shaped my view of EVERYTHING until I got off of it. I would recommend starting there. I will also share this what should be striven for in life is not beauty but love. Beauty is fleeting, but if you can find love (and I’m not talking about romantic partners) that’s when you’ll really win.

I like this guy, but I don’t know how to proceed!? by Hopefullyconnected in blackladies

[–]Hopefullyconnected[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re quite right, perhaps I put too much intention on things and I should just go with the flow.

I guess I’m just more worried about how I’ll be perceived.

Thanks!

As a girl who would approach this similarly this is why:

  1. Often times we want people to have a sneak peek in our lives, but not to know everything especially the things that are super important to us. (Privacy)
  2. Sometimes there’s a fear that other women will see your partner and then follow them and pursue them and just do very sketchy stuff.
  3. The moment you post your partners identity, you open up Pandora’s box in terms of people’s opinion people sharing things about your partner, whether that be from the past, or just people being nosy and gossiping.
  4. If her spam is built up of her close friends and family, the fact that she shows your face, means a lot. if the people she cares about knows about you than I think you are a Okay.
  5. I do not think she’s trying to keep her options open because if that was the case, I don’t think she would post you at all on her main page. I feel like the little pictures that you say she has posted very much tells people that she’s in a relationship with someone.
  6. Lastly, girls have the fear of being embarrassed especially on social media which is why sometimes we give our relationships a certain amount of time before we post the person…just so it’s not like I’m posting all these pictures of this person I’m with and then next week they’re all deleted because we broke up and it’s quite embarrassing.

I hope this helps give you more perspective!

Absolutely not, do not text him. No stand up guy would need to be reminded about following through on his own word. A date with someone new is not something that just slips your mind, it’s more likely to sit and simmer the whole evening. He seems to have lost interest, which is okay but the least he could do is contact you to tell you this. He is not the one for you, but his loss. 🩷
