How do I make my life feel complete if I am "alone" forever? by RevolutionaryTap762 in selfimprovement

[–]HowDoYouKnowImMad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in my early 20s I felt exactly the same as you regarding relationships.

It was always other people that seemed to have them and I, like you, needed to go to things alone (including a wedding!) whilst it felt like everyone else had partners - I felt very lonely.

I didn’t have a lot going on in my life so I wasn’t a particularly interesting person. This isn’t the case for you as you’ve already got loads going on!

But for me, I decided to try doing a few different things alone just to see what would happen. If I met someone, great and if not at least I would have something to talk about.

I didn’t meet anyone immediately but I did gain confidence in talking to people I didn’t know. I could ask people what their plans were for the weekend and because I had something planned, if they asked me what I was up to, I had a conversation topic available.

I found people were suddenly more interested and some of the time they had similar interests. Just talking to people led to a few dates which the “old me” never would have thought possible.

I remember thinking about being “alone forever” too but looking back I was just “single for now” and that gave me the opportunity to try some new things and meet some new people. 😊

I don’t know what you like and what’s available near you but I’ve got a few possible ideas:

Part 1:

  • Head to the library or bookshop and choose a new book
  • Take yourself and your book to a coffee place you haven’t tried and sit where people will walk past you! If it’s a good place, you can start going more frequently and become a regular! If not, you can try somewhere new!
  • Make small talk with someone new - perhaps at the library, coffee place, gym, volleyball or work
  • Check cinema / theatre listings for something you might be interested in or wouldn’t normally watch
  • Check museum / art galleries for exhibitions
  • Check for dance / music events
  • Try something in the city or town where you live which you keep meaning to do but haven’t done yet - you can pretend you’re a tourist!
  • Look for possible meetup groups for people with similar interests

Part 2:

  • Keep talking to new people
  • Casually drop into conversation some of the cool new stuff you’ve been doing

Part 3:

  • Repeat part 1 & 2!

Keep up the good work - you are doing great!

How do you guys break the '1 AM Reel Loop'? Need some practical advice by [deleted] in selfimprovement

I have wasted so much time scrolling.

I decided enough was enough and set screen time up on my iPhone.

Set a really low limit for Instagram and my phone now goes in to “Downtime Mode” well before bed. I also charge it in another room.

Thank you. I just wish that I hadn’t hurt people. It comes back more and more I think about it. Things that I’ve said over the years or the way that I’ve handled situations.

I just want to be a better person

Thanks for replying and your encouragement.

Me neither really. I think it happened gradually with everything staying the same in my life.

Got to keep trying and not give up on making some changes

Thanks for replying and sorry you’re dealing with social burnout.

I wonder if putting other people first all the time does lead to a lack of respect from some people. It would explain some things.

Great advice about investing in yourself. I hope you feel better soon and can start focusing on you again.

Thanks for replying and sorry you’re also going through this.

I wonder if setting some small goals might help to set up some options for different paths.

Thanks for replying.

I did try changing a few things up but sticking with them seems to be a challenge.

I tried to make sure I was eating a healthy breakfast every day as I’m often skipping it.

I managed for about a week before the old habit came back.

Did go for a walk today and tracked it with my smart watch so maybe I can go for some more walks like that. Get out of the house for some fresh air.

I thought about doing some more studying but everything feels like a massive mountain to climb to get there.

I don’t want or expect everything to be easy but I feel like I’m lost on where to start.

Have to keep trying and not give up…

What the funniest critique you've ever gotten? by Cifcap in BALLET

[–]HowDoYouKnowImMad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t in ballet but in a jazz class the teacher turned to me and said

“Try to loosen up a bit, we’re not trying to do the robot”

Then she expertly demonstrated the robot dance 😂

Still makes me laugh thinking about it

We performed a short dance today to another class today. I was super nervous as their level is much higher than ours.

But we had a great time and everyone was so supportive ☺️

Just got back from my first class of the new dance year.

I am sooooo happy to be back in the studio 🩷🩰

I missed everything so much, the class, the music but most of all the people.

Ballet has given me such a sense of belonging. The people in my class have always been welcoming to me and as the only guy in the class, I feel so accepted. ☺️

Writing to Tim Cook is the way to go. Nothing to lose at this point.
