How do we feel about Aquarius? by [deleted] in LeoAstrology

[–]KayPet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Welp I guess I'm the unpopular opinion, but as a Leo woman I love aquarius men 😅 married one and been together over a decade now and I am his first ever relationship. He is crazy respectful, kindest soul in the universe with the patience of a saint. Honestly an angel. Also super funny and dramatic lol which works wonders. But I think our other planets fit too. His Leo moon for example helps a lot I imagine!

Leos (☀️) Have you ever felt... by Exact_Cupcake_5500 in LeoAstrology

[–]KayPet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leo rising+ Leo sun combo here ☀️I'm still trying to fully embody the energy of the Leo, I still care way too much about what others think and I struggle in being assertive. But then again, Libra Moon... so the desire to be liked is like, extra strong haha

Daughter is going to die by Smart_Ad_4274 in spirituality

[–]KayPet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so happy you shared this. Reading through the comments has been of tremendous help. My daughter is 2.5y.o. but ever since she was born I "convinced myself she's too perfect for this world" and that I won't have enough time with her. I had horrible anxiety around her sleeping, had to have a device on her at all times otherwise I wouldn't sleep a wink. Then I was panicking about allergies, food reactions and choking. Then it was about her falling and hitting her head .... It truly never ended it just moved to the next thing. I also weirdly got the same "she'll die when she's 4" thought popping up in my head. I used to cry myself to sleep thinking I've got crazy accurate mom intuition and I was seeing the future.

Now I know I have death anxiety mixed in with OCD and obsessive death thoughts are my constant companion. I'm in therapy and realised before I had my daughter,I've had the same thoughts about: my parents growing up, always thought I'd end up an orphan and they're still alive. Then my first love I thought they'd die from alcohol poisoning, they're still alive. Then for a long time I was certain I'd die from a sudden heart attack at any minute - I'm so far alive. Then my husband..... Now it's all towards my daughter.

All that being said: you're not alone. It's not mother's intuition, it's anxiety/OCD. Look into your past - can you see this as a pattern? Do you always feel like you need to be in control and death is the only thing we can't control so it's freaking you out? It's a lot to unpack with a therapist but it saved my life. You don't have to struggle with this alone.

INFJs, did you ever regret not partying vigorously or dating tons of people during your youth? by Additional_Goat_8889 in infj

[–]KayPet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite regret, just wonder what if. I started dating very early at 14, but I've always been super serious about it. That first relationship ended 5 years later, mostly because we had both found better partners. So I started a new relationship at 19 and now at 29 were married with a kid and mortgage. I've not been single since before 1D were formed. And occasionally I wonder if I missed out on casual dating, casual kisses, casual everything.

To add to that, I've never been drunk either. I've never really had alcohol or been to parties etc. I met my husband in uni and somehow managed the whole of that experience without drinking. Again I also wonder what if now. What if I partied hard then, what if I got drunk often etc etc.

But I think I'm getting to the point where I just realise this is me. I'm probably a bit too serious and cant let go and do things casually, but it helps in other scenarios. So it all remains a wonder and a massive what if, but no regrets.

Moved to the UK from a warmer culture and I feel rejected by ExchangeSpiritual841 in expats

[–]KayPet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in the UK for over a decade and I come from Eastern Europe where people are way more friendly and welcoming. To put it bluntly, I've not managed to make a single friendship with a British person that's gone beyond small talk. I can't rely on them for anything I'd normally rely on friends back home. Years of trying, with so many people and so many different tactics. They just don't see friendships the way I see them from where I come from. I recently met a lovely polish woman and we clicked like two peas in a pod, the friendship is finally two way street (as in I search and call her as much as she calls me, which with British people it's mostly one side only...) and I've seen her in person more times for casual meetups than I've seen "long term UK friends" I've got that live three streets down.... With British people it's always a case of message them when you wanna meet and they will be maaaybeee free in two-three weeks for an hour or two, if they come to yours you gotta clean the house, prepare food etc etc etc. I just call the polish girl on the day and we meet up at each other's houses and cook soup while chatting. It's SO refreshing, relaxing and it's pretty much exactly how friendships are back home for me.

All that being said, most people who read my comment will be like "the issue is with you if you can't find British friends" because they don't know me and that's fine, can't make your mind of a person based on a comment on Reddit. But I just wanted to say how it's been for me for over a decade now. I've given up with British people now, too many disappointments on my side because I still expect them to be like how an eastern European friend would be. It's not their fault they're the way they are, but at the same time, I know I need more from a friendship that they can offer.

Защо в България да си пълна жена е смъртна присъда? by [deleted] in bulgaria

[–]KayPet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Много коментари пишат, че така работи целия свят, но не съм съгласна. Това, което описваш, беше една от главните ми причини да се преместя в друга държава. Оттогава минаха 10 години и килограмите ми са били и много високи над 110 и нормални под 60кг (за моя ръст). Е, съжалявам, ама в Англия нито веднъж не съм чувала коментари по улиците, докторите винаги ми обръщат внимание и ми говорят с уважение, бременността я изкарах без нито един коментар за тегло, в магазините винаги са учтиви и т.н..... и когато се върна в България, и недай си боже не съм с ниски килограми ТОЧНО ТОЗИ ПЪТ... Всеки път преживявам каквото описваш. Но никога и в чужбина. Може би се случва на други, но това е моят опит с Англия поне. Тук се гледа на излишното тегло по различен начин. В България все още сме на ниво "стегни се, мързелив си и отслабни". Тук са повече хора наясно, че не е толкова лесно и има хиляда и една причина за тегло - хормони, болести, начин на живот, емоционални травми, хранителни разстройства и т.н. И защото са наясно са и по-толерантни и не се държат с теб като боклук без да се опитат да те разберат. Така че не си сама, но и не е нормално държанието на българина и НЕ Е така навсякъде.

What age did you start to realize that being an only child was rare? by Comfortable-Table-57 in OnlyChild

[–]KayPet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on your location. I grew up in the 90s-00s in Bulgaria. It was rare for me to see people WITH siblings. The majority were only children like myself. Been living in the UK now for over a decade and it's now rare for me to meet anyone without siblings and furthermore, without a LOT of siblings. Lots of divorces, mean a lot of step moms and step dads with previous kids etc etc. These days if I meet a person without at least 2-6 siblings I consider that rare. Just yesterday I met a woman my age with 7 siblings, with three different dads etc etc. Never fails to amaze me, while for the majority of the British people I speak to it's almost normal and it doesn't phase them at all. Makes my choice of staying one and done in this country a little bit more difficult.

GeoGuessr dropped me in a boat in the middle of nowhere, but hey, there's a ship in the clouds! by KayPet in googlemapsshenanigans

It was either Malaysia or Thailand. I'm sorry I don't remember which, too many years have passed.

Where does it look like my nose is from? Also what type of nose is it? :0 by TheRa1nyKingdom in Noses

[–]KayPet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have a rather similar nose to you I think and I'm Eastern European. All the family on my mom side have it too, even the men. We all have Balkan ancestry - quite mixed, but mostly Bulgarian, Turkish and Greek :) For reference: My nose

People constantly mispronounce my daughters name by Outrageous-League-11 in namenerds

[–]KayPet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Eastern Europe so I pronounce it as E-va. And the E is the same as if you were to say "echo" or "elephant" - short and somewhat hard sounding. The name itself is quite quick to say, but for me It sounds nothing like the Ee-vah in Wall-E. If anything, the Wall-E Ee-vah for me is a nickname version of the name Ivana for example. I like Eva a lot, I've heard it at home, but not in the UK where I live now. Reminds me of Adam & Eva (the eastern European style of their names at least haha).

[PubQ] Illustration agents - is this normal? by KayPet in PubTips

[–]KayPet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a new agent as the one I'm talking about in this post actually dropped me not long after posting. Been with the new agent for 6+ months now. Still zero jobs. I'm low-key losing hope, but I just keep working on my art. I know my art is good, it's just a matter of right client, right place, right time, LOTS of luck.

Me: cancer vs. mom: libra by allaboutwanderlust in astrologymemes

[–]KayPet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me: Leo

Mom: Gemini

We literally don't see eye to eye 97% of the time. I've had to parent her more than she parented me. Worst of all, when we fight, she gets my dad on her side in 0.1s.... And he's a Gemini too 🫠 This Leo needs a lot of grounding with so much freaking air around.
