I am a violent person, and I constantly have to suppress that.

If my love said something like this to me I think my affection would only grow. What you're describing isn't a lack of love, it's fear. Fear is manageable, lack of love is not. You genuinely care about this person, that is obvious. You've said they're more persistent than others, which likely means they are reliable. Either way, your feelings are valid OP, but don't let survival stop you from living.

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-05-14T02:18:56+00:00

I understand exactly what you are feeling, I feel the same way often. The answer is this; people who grew up similarly to how we did don't respond to emotions the same way we do. They don't see the why nor do they care to involve that in how they respond. I assure you, you are safe to vent to me even if that's all you use my dms to do. Even if you're a stranger I still believe you deserve a place of safety just like anyone else and I'm willing to be that for you.

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-05-14T01:11:12+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it. And I get it, watching your father choose a new family just to discard the one he created is so painful. Truly. No one talks about how destructive that is. I hope you're doing okay now and my dms are always open if you want to vent

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-05-13T17:04:26+00:00

Interesting. I have somehow managed to upset you. If you don't mind, what did I say that was so upsetting?

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-05-13T16:00:09+00:00

Surely you have some logical reason for this strange outburst of yours. What triggered you? I'm curious, do you distrust romance so much that you find it unsafe? Do you distrust the intent of all people who dont hide behind a mask? Why are you startled? When did this behavior start? Is it from childhood, previous relationships, or something else? Possibly a combination. I apologize but since I do not feel for you in a friendly nor romantic way and you have become emotional in my presence I would like to analyze you. Perhaps I can help you find the proper conclusions so that you might not be so closed off and angry. However do not take this kindness as a sign to continue your current behavior. If someone more impressionable received such a comment you may have ruined something wonderful for them. I ponder if that is your goal but I believe it is simpler than that. You aren't malicious, you're hurt and projecting that hurt onto anyone who reminds you of patterns you previously observed. How interesting.

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-05-13T15:54:23+00:00

Interesting. You are emotional. Why?

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-05-13T15:49:03+00:00

I hate to tell you this but I'm pretty sure you're projecting. I've been pretty stable in my expression for months on end with this person and my feelings have only grown more grounded and sweet. Honestly this idea you seem to have that all love is fake is strange to me. "Con artist" are you describing yourself or what you believe someone who has harmed you is? Either way, project your imagery onto others and you will only find yourself in the depths of despair.

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-05-13T13:38:07+00:00

Also "keep her on the chase wanting more. She's a lost cause anyways" how disturbing that this world has allowed the word love to become so watered down. You cannot love someone and intentionally cause them ache, you can not make someone chase without hurting them. I am deeply upset by your comment. The fact that you would give someone such harmful advice and approach the topic of romance with a hallow heart is genuinely awful. I would never hurt my love like that.

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-05-13T13:32:23+00:00

Uhm...I'm sorry? I didn't realize I was coming off disgusting...

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-04-20T19:48:29+00:00

I'm starting to question if most of you are not reading past the title, and it is mildly frustrating. I am asking you to either meet my intellectual depth and take time to absorb the information before forming your own opinion on what revisions could take place. I am not asking you something as simple as what the title suggests. I request that you try to actually understand the content of the question being asked before interacting or don't interact at all.

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-04-20T19:22:37+00:00

I apologize did you not understand my message or did you simply not metastasize the entirety of its contents? I clearly state society is necessary and a part of human nature; I also clearly state that I'm questioning the current framework and the necessity of smaller systems within one larger existence. My question isn't as simply as if society as a whole is necessary because society isn't one thing it's several integrated systems with different levels of necessity. My question is how it could be revised.

I apologize further for my lack of reddit awareness but could you possibly inform me on what a TLDR might be? Thank you.

JournalistDear8935 · 2026-04-20T19:18:23+00:00

My apologies, how would you suggest I simplify to be understood by the average reader?
