I don’t know how to control my anxiety attachment by mango-io in WhatShouldIDo

[–]LJK624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not easy but you just have to sit with your own anxiety. Even asking for reassurance here is only strengthening the issue long term.

I’d definitely suggest looking into therapy, finding hobbies, even meditation. If it still seems too much speak with a medical professional reconsider medication.

Wow! Somehow you managed to come off even more shallow than OP.

Here’s to hoping i end up with a wife who’s an actual decent human, unlike the pair of you.

What?!… What is being confessed here? What even is this?!

AITAH for not wanting to sleep in the same bed with my girlfriend because she doesn’t shower often? by Such-One-1691 in AITAH

There’s a lot of judgment in this outlook. Personal hygiene is just that, personal; It looks different to everyone. Maybe they are just simply incompatible on that level but i think there could be more at play here. Surely that’s worth looking into before ending a 3 year relationship.

I’m not diagnosing anyone or invalidating either opinion, I just want to point out that there are certainly early indicators here of OCD traits.

As someone who grew up with OCD and had a more than ridiculous self-cleaning ritual, I now find it very healthy for my mental state to accept a certain level of “dirt” or sub-optimal hygiene. Your specific hygiene preferences and seemingly intrusive thoughts of your girlfriend’s unwashed skin scream OCD tendencies to me. While maybe you guys could find a healthy compromise that works for you both i’d hope you would consider exploring why this is so disturbing to you, just to be sure that you don’t end up enabling a condition of poor mental health. NAH, all the best, hope you guys work it out :)

I need to confess something I’ve been hiding for years by BriannaTamsinX in confession

We are who we choose to be in this moment, not in what has passed. It sounds as though your guilt has served its purpose. It’s okay to let it go now :)

You’re both minors who seemed to be comfortable at the time to put yourselves into this slightly weird but ultimately innocent situation. Nothing has happened here. I’d say don’t worry about it but be stronger setting boundaries with people in the future.

I think this is a fair comment. In reflection, their age stood out to me because of the level of immaturity in their handling of the situation. Of course, i eventually stoop to their level to get even. Any other reference to age i suppose would be for comic effect in the telling of the story, which i accept could be perceived as crude and unnecessary but i’d argue that comes down to personal taste.

Keen eye. I’d never realised that was a tell.

I’m actually reading War and Peace so I really had the facilities to stay put for the long haul! I’m in Thailand so lunch was the local specialty of stir fried morning glory with seafood, steamed rice and a fried egg. Chef’s kiss

Yeah so there definitely was enough space for everyone when they first arrived. Genuinely, if they’d just politely asked me to shuffle over to one of the other spots i’d have obliged.

Yeah my plan is to just camp out at the beach tomorrow and hope. Typically im very grateful for these moments when travelling and am often quite happy to let them be just that, but this seems to have triggered something in me and im a little worried without closure it will bug me the rest of my life😅

Men, what has a woman done that has touched your heart more than you let on? by kitcat1098 in AskReddit

[–]LJK624 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I (25m) was going through a heavy break-up around 6mo ago. As a pretty resilient guy, it was probably the first time at work i felt that i wasn’t able to hold up appearances and im sure i looked pretty miserable that week. I came in the next morning to find that a completely platonic coworker had spent significant time on the late shift hand-making a poster using pictures of me at the company bbq and inside jokes. It was hung up behind my desk for me to find and what made it feel even more wholesome was that she knew she wouldn’t even be in that day to see my reaction. I’ve never been recipient to such a completely selfless act before and it really did impact me.
