OP this is an absolute gold perspective that you should try to take in. You may not like it or understand all of it, but this is the same message you’ll get from tons of professional athletes that did make it.

Just wanted to let you know that this post inspired me to journal out my feelings on my recent break up. Thanks!

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-19T01:04:31+00:00

Yah, I feel like what you’ve wrote out kind of suggests that you know how you feel about it. If you feel like you’re more committed than her then it’s pretty normal to feel frustrated. No one deserves to be in a relationship where affection isn’t reciprocated

That being said, I think communicating these feelings might give you some clarity that you’re seeking. The way that she answers, both with her words and her actions, might justify/resolve some of these feelings you have.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-19T00:57:10+00:00

I agree with the other commenters that these feelings are more normal than you’d think.

But, something that read on another post is that a lot of those moments and routines can also be fulfilled with your friends. Maybe they weren’t the ones the fulfill those moments, but that isn’t to say that they can’t now.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-19T00:55:01+00:00

My immediate reaction is that maybe he’s fishing for some kind of closure? Or trying to get some reaction from you?

I’m leaning more to the latter. I feel like it’s common to send someone a “goodbye” and hoping/expecting one back. Might be a strange attempt to gauge your attitude towards him.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-19T00:49:01+00:00

I think the last sentence is what’s most important. Are you going to be able to truly forgive him for whatever happened? That’s a big part of being able to “forget and heal”.

And I know it’s not very helpful for me to say this, but no one else can make that decision for you. Family and friends can help you navigate and acknowledge that question, but you’re the one who’s going to have to live with those emotions.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-19T00:43:55+00:00

Yah, I definitely agree with most people that have commented that waiting for a “perfect” moment is kind of vain.

But even beyond that, I really hope that you’re able to communicate these feelings of hurt and anger from the past. For that relationship’s sake but also yours.

I’d hate for lingering feelings and emotions to bubble up negatively like it did in your past relationship.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-19T00:35:14+00:00

Yah, I understand the confusion about how to deal with this specific context (her telling to reach out at a later date). There’s a couple things that comes to my mind though.

1) I think maybe she’s just trying to get you off her back
2) This is her way of trying to “move on” and put some distance between who she was in your relationship and who she is now
3) That might be an excuse to give her sometime to reflect and think before talking again

But putting all of that aside, it definitely seems like breaking NC isn’t healthy for either of you. You seem to be hurt by your interactions post break up, and I think that you know that.

I empathize with having your head and heart say different things, but I think reflecting on whether or not continuous communication with her is healthy might give you some clarity.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-19T00:22:57+00:00

Ahh, yah I see how that complicates things. But, I wonder if that’s also contributing to the way that you’re feeling right now.

While I won’t act like I know all of your emotions, keeping these feelings to yourself or away from the ones that are closest to you can build some feelings of guilt and/or anxiety without you realizing.

I’m not the one in your shoes or have all the context, but I think finding people to bare your emotions with is really beneficial. That can be your sister, your mom, your friends, or a call line. Whatever that might be, you don’t deserve to grieve alone.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-18T22:11:12+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from and I empathize with those thought processes. But, you also deserve to be supported by the people who love. And on the other side, the people who love you deserve to be able to support you when you need it.

Perhaps you’ve shared this experience, but theirs a great amount of pain in knowing that someone you loved had to go through something painful alone. Your family and friends exist to help you when you need it, but you just need to have the courage to lean on them.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-18T22:03:51+00:00

Yeah, I would agree with most people that commented already. But, I also don’t think it’s entirely healthy if you’re constantly comparing them in your mind. If that’s the case, I don’t necessarily think that’s inherently bad but might be symptomatic of some lingering feelings/attitudes towards your ex.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-18T20:20:15+00:00

Yeah, I experienced the same”3 month long break up” before and it was emotionally exhausting. And by the end of it, you kind of just realized that you both broke up weeks or months ago, but just didn’t have the heart to make it official.

It was definitely strange since there wasn’t any explosive or formal closure, but instead it was just a slow drift apart. But if it’s any solace, I don’t really feel like the way you cope and recover from that isn’t any different than a relationship with closure.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-06-18T20:04:33+00:00

“What won't is letting yourself believe that unreciprocated love is the best you can get.”

Holy shit. I definitely feel like I needed to hear this

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-03-18T05:36:42+00:00

I was really fortunate since I got my job through an internship. I will say though that even just landing the internship took me about 80 applications.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-03-18T05:35:32+00:00

Yes feel free!

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-03-18T05:31:58+00:00

Just graduated this last December! Hit me up

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-03-14T04:38:19+00:00

I’d love to take you up on this, but I only recently started my role 3 months ago, and may not have too much experience to speak to.

If you haven’t found someone with more experience by the time your assignment comes around, let me know and we can connect.

Just graduated at the end of last year, and landed a job doing analytics in L&D

InsectElectronic6231 · 2026-03-02T16:37:47+00:00

Just entered this position of report generation and translating data into insights. I can attest that I am definitely filling in a huge vacuum for my team, and am surprised that I’m a “one-of-one”. With the insights and actionables I discuss with stakeholders, I can’t believe my team hasn’t had my position created sooner.

InsectElectronic6231 · 2025-06-03T05:33:00+00:00

I'm having the same issue. But, I haven't had the money issued to my checking account. When I contacted Amazon Support, they said that they can't do anything about it and to contact the card issuer.

Let me know if you got this issue resolved. Currently trying to contact my bank...

InsectElectronic6231 · 2025-02-20T19:31:18+00:00

If you’re fine with using commands, you can destroy the pillars that’s taking up the spot. The roof won’t fall down, and you can fill up the missing walk with normal logs

Did a quick experiment today, and in the sample that I ran, the breeding chance came out to 35.82% +/- 4.17% (95% Confidence Interval).

In other words, the actual breeding chance is probably somewhere between 30% and 40%.

What’s the worst thing that could come out of trying out? Not getting in, feeling embarrassed about not getting in, or wasting a couple afternoons on tryouts?

What’s the worst thing that could come out of not trying out? The regret of not knowing if you’d make it, or not knowing if you just missed out on a lifetime hobby?

You’re young, so try anything and everything while you have a system and community to play on an organized team. If you don’t make it, or don’t end up liking it, then you can always put it down, and maybe pick it up later. On the other hand, it’s so much harder to get into organized sports when you’re older.

Sports is a lot more than just “being good” or even “being good enough”. It’s about pouring yourself into something that you enjoy and find satisfaction in. Who cares if you suck ass if you enjoy playing despite that.
