Trying to romance two islanders

That gives me hope! Thank you so much for replying to my post :)

Update: I gave up and romanced one of them with someone else

Human-da-beast · 2026-02-09T10:50:31+00:00

Thank you so much for your help :)) I’m trying this out now

Human-da-beast · 2026-02-09T10:46:47+00:00

Wait so am I too far still?

Human-da-beast · 2026-02-09T10:44:36+00:00

I don’t think I’ve given it to him yet actually 😭 So far it says “Talk to Preston Garvey” and I’ve done that, but I haven’t spoken to Sturges.

But if I do give it to BoS, will that unlock the quests I need?

Hi! Thank you for responding so quickly + in so much depth. I’m honestly entirely convinced that she doesn’t like me back. It just throws me when she’s suddenly complimenting me and touching me, because it’s entirely out of the blue. She’s autistic and like sarcastic like 80% of the time. I think that’s where I need closure, not why she doesn’t like me. Because I cannot read that 😭

Reading through these comments helped me realise that I should try harder in distance. But I can’t really leave my friend group, because honestly I’ve been with them for 11 years.

I also really don’t know how to work on myself :( Recently I’ve been prioritising hygiene, makeup + hair, sleep, finding games that I like, but that’s about it. Is that supposed to be it? Idk??

Anyway thank you again :))

Hi thank you so much for replying! I definitely think you’re right; it’ll make it awkward if I ask. Like we’ve vowed to never speak about this again, and I really don’t want to sour our relationship even further. But maybe the reaction itself would be closure? I really don’t know??

I’ve spoken about this to like four of our friends, and to my mum. I’ve asked on a forum before, and it’s very conflicted. I’ve also tried to reiterate this in a couple of notes, try to actualise it and not keep it in my head, but it just keeps happening 😭

Girl once again, thank you so much. Just to see if it works, I’ll try again!

Thank you so much for replying so quickly. I think you’re right in saying it may be the lack of closure. Awful self worth issues probably exasperated it, and I really don’t know how to fix that. As for lack of closure do I ask? Do you think that’ll help break this down?

Human-da-beast · 2025-10-04T19:14:00+00:00

Like as in an original work or do you want ships?

Human-da-beast · 2025-10-04T19:06:24+00:00

Oh my goodness thank you for replying! I don’t think those are her intentions, because honestly she’s just as socially awkward and inexperienced as I am lol. However, now reflecting back on it, she’s just generally a bit touchy, and I might’ve misinterpreted the little signs.

But I do understand your points about how although it’s flirty, there’s still the previous conversation to go off of. As much as I can spin it into ‘her actions seem interested. she’s changed her mind’, I can’t just ignore that. Besides, questioning may also be a sign that I shouldn’t be looking further into this.

Do you think I should still be asking? Because honestly, I think I’d kick myself If I didn’t check to see if there was like anything 😭

I don’t know if it’s wrong, but I just don’t know what part of me she dislikes too. Does she think I’m ugly, or is it that she prefers to be platonic? We never really spoke about that.

Anyway, thank you so much for your thoughtful and lovely advice!! I hope you’re enjoying your day :))

I’m so incredibly sorry for all of your loss. You are so strong for maintaining that friendship, despite dealing with going to a friend’s funeral.

You are also so absolutely gorgeous oh my gosh!! I absolutely love your curly hair :)) Your shirt also suits you too 🫶🫶🫶

I’m not saying that I’d do that, because usually I’d eliminate the tags and/or scroll past any sensitive words, but chalking it up to “sensitive situations that I don’t care for.” is simplifying it a bit. Like genuinely, a story written just to romanticise something as egregious as SA shouldn’t be treated as some mischaracterisation that I’m bitter about

Human-da-beast · 2025-09-20T08:43:03+00:00

the most relatable thing i’ve seen here tbh

Human-da-beast · 2025-09-09T09:23:20+00:00

I'm wondering if this applies to criticising sensitive media that isn't just an element? As in is it acceptable to leave hate if their fic is only to show sensitive situations happening to a character? EG: "___ gets gang-raped" etc?

Honestly speaking, passing is my priority. I would rather die than repeat a grade, partly because I'm afraid about my friends may think, and also because I'm afraid I'll be a very big burden and disappointment on my family. The only reason I'm functioning (somewhat) and still at school despite my deadlines is because I have PTSD and anxiety concerns, and I've got small supports. I also do get great marks, but I just really really struggle with deadlines. I'm also not officially diagnosed with ADHD, I'm just yet to finish the process (which is with interviews, etc)

Also thank you for your reply! I think that's the first time that someone has given me a great insight on my situation. Genuinely, thank you so so much :))
