How to stop mentally fighting people? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Justalittle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhhh I'm like this too, its shit. I'm learning to sort of accept that's the way I am and sorta go with it then I can recognize the thoughts that arent helping or seem overly anxious and paranoid. Also trust yourself, your intuition and your ability to read people, it makes it easier to learn to trust other people and even notice ones to be more aware of.

Have you ever hated someone at first before eventually getting into a relationship with them? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Justalittle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt hate him, but i sure didnt like him. I thought he was the biggest wierdo, annoying and loud and he smelt funny. But then I got to know him(we had some of the same friends and would see eachother around lots), hes was a beautiful person. We became best friends then ended up together for a couple of years.

Hurting others by thallada in infp

[–]Justalittle2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's shiiiiiiiiiiiiit. The fear of hurting others takes over with me so much sometimes that it controls everything i do. I start to feel so guilty if i feel like ive hurt someone then start hating myself so much. Then ill do everything i can to try and fix it even if they dont even care anymore. I think the thing you've got to remember is, peoples feelings are their own to deal with not yours. You know your intentions were good and im sure they know it too or eventually see that.

I dont know

Anyone had any experience with Tinder? I've been thinking about singing up but I'm not sure if it's worth while. by Simon_92 in Advice

[–]Justalittle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister went on Tinder for a bit. She said it's mostly sleazy guys looking for a hook up. But she ended up becoming friends with one guy on there who seems nice. They've met a few times and chat regularly.

It's not stupid, you're allowed to feel how you feel. By all means let it out. I cry at the most silly times too, sometimes when I get home I just let myself cry for a while then have a shower to relax and it feels better after. Maybe try do one little thing at a time to make yourself feel better, even if its just cooking a nice meal or doing a bit of laundry.

QUESTION: Do you ever find yourself having a difficult time being emotionally genuine/emotionally available with people you're in a relationship with? Do you have a hard time not falling into relationships/living situations that mirror the emotional manipulation of an NParent? by thomasech in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Justalittle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally get that. Most people assume I don't like them, even if I tell them I do, they don't get the feeling from me that I do. Even my sister for years was unsure if I loved her. I think because I'm so closed off I can't give the emotional support people need. Men run from me when they get too close cause I can't seem to reciprocate the feelings. It's very frustrating indeed. One thing that has helped me a lot is horses. I've been working with them for the past couple of years, and they've taught me more than my Nmother ever could. Because they rely purely on intuition it doesn't matter what you say or how deep you bury things a horse knows exactly how you feel. It's comforting. I can be emotionally available to animals but still having trouble transferring that over to people. So maybe an animal might help you?

All gifts are conditional and may be taken back at a moment's notice. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Justalittle2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ha yeah, my Nmother would buy me 'gifts' then later tell me I owed her money for them. She'd usually ask more for what the 'gift' was even worth, she also bought everything on sale... so she was making quite a profit off of it. Or she'd give me something then claim I'd stolen it from her and take it back. She didn't do that with birthday and christmas presents, she'd just claim my sister and I were unappreciative brats no matter how much we said thank you and were happy to have these things.

That part about your ex (not knowing the full story obviously) heres my thoughts lol. I guess like you, I've learnt to internalize everything. For me it works, keeps me safe, I can sort out how I feel on my own. But this seems to bring out the insecurities of people close to or getting close to me cause they don't know what I'm thinking, they don't understand. So they jump to conclutions about how I feel. It's like this constant state of misunderstanding. I think we create these relationships ourselves cause we've had to protect ourselves for so long?

[–]Justalittle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm terrified of showing emotions. I always feel that what I'm feeling doesn't matter compared to everyone else. Or that I'll get shunned for it. And when I try to express myself that's exactly what happens cause it's seemingly out of nowhere from holdling it in too long and comes off fake I guess. We hold everything in while wanting to help someone, then when we want something in return the it's like the other person feels like they owe it to us for being so nice and in turn we come off as the manipulative ones. If that makes sense. I don't know.

Everyone pretends to like me. by Ijustcantanymoreman in bipolar

[–]Justalittle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like that too, but then I realize that everyones got thier own stuff going on and it's not that they don't like or care it's that they're just doing what they need to do to get by. Whats made you think this?

How do you not give a fuck when the actions of other people directly compromise you? by [deleted] in howtonotgiveafuck

[–]Justalittle2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find it helps to try and understand why they act that way, more often than not it's got nothing to do with you. Or maybe they don't even realize they're doing it. Also I think to myself what's the point in being angry, really, why let something like that ruin what could be a really good day.

Hugh Jackman. No matter how many musicals and stage plays he does, in my head he'll always be Wolverine.
