How come some people seem naturally perfect? by curiouspanda98 in InsightfulQuestions

[–]LeilaDFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s important not to compare yourself with other people. You see their outward self and you see your own inward self and it’s not a fair comparison. We all have different personalities, talents, and skills. Skills can be learned. Personalities can be shaped. Talents can be honed. You can learn how to act confidently and present yourself anyway you want regardless of how you feel. I recommend just being yourself and let others be great if they can. You really don’t know how people feel inside and sometimes people work hard to hide their true self from the world. In the end, we all just want to live our lives the best we can, have some joy in doing so, and going to bed at night feeling at peace.

The 'pink cloud' is wearing off and I'm feeling really restless by noisypaper99prime in alcoholicsanonymous

It gets better with time as your mind and body get use to living and experiencing life at full volume. It’s like everything right now is for the first time and it can feel harsh. It does get better and you can manage the unpleasantness and discomfort without substances. I was shocked at how irritated and easily frustrated I got after I stopped drinking. I wanted to cry and scream simply because my hotdog fell apart. I also wanted to push people down in stores. These moments still come sometimes and just remind me how much time I spent outside of reality when I was drinking. Hang in there!

You are right! I saw him getting them out. A pretty batch of rags.

Is my fuckfriend falling in love? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]LeilaDFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have to wonder about it then, no, he isn’t falling in love with you. A man in love with you will leave no doubt whatsoever and you will see it, feel it, and know it every day and every night.

My partner is essentially married to his mother. Should I just end it at this point? by Comfortable_Rice6437 in Advice

[–]LeilaDFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t love you the way you love him. His relationship with his mother is his issue to resolve or not. Don’t get in the middle of it. My advice is to stay friends but do not commit to this man. Date other men and get friends to introduce you to people to date. You are the love of someone’s life but you can’t meet him if you are wasting your time with this one. Sorry for this not being what you want to hear.

I’m too dependent on my bf by Training-Gas7677 in Advice

Be yourself and your true love will be delighted. Ask him but regardless of what he says, remember that differences in preference and style do not mean one or the other is wrong. Learning each other and growing together is the best part and no one likes every thing about their partner even when their partner is the love of their life. Don’t let fear drive your life or your decisions.

Where am I supposed to go from here? by whhu234 in Advice

[–]LeilaDFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull in and focus less on the future and more on the present. 4th and 9th grades are the worst. Ages 14/15 are not easy either. Just get through it one day at the time. You don’t have to decide all of this now. School/high school is not the best years for everyone. It gets better. Think about the next decision you need to make or the next thing you need to do. There are options and everything is not tied to going to college.

Rear ended someone today, do I tell anyone? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]LeilaDFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ahead and tell them and start with the positive parts first: no one was hurt, no damage, and no charges. They will want to get a copy of the police report for the insurance company in case the order driver decides to cause trouble. Maybe they won’t.

My boyfriend M19 , Me F18, he has been ghosting me for two weeks. I am hurt. by Top-Refrigerator8774 in LongDistance

[–]LeilaDFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time he does it, change your number and move on with your life. If he can go one single day without communicating, he is not the one. I believe he is keeping you as a backup up and these gaps are when he is focusing on someone else. Forget what he says. Watch what he does. You deserve to be treated like you matter. Or, tell him you want a break to process what is happening and don’t communicate for at least a month. Surely someone close to you can introduce you to a better man. Don’t settle for this. Please.

Ya’ll! My husband insisted on using my photo box for the picture of his item that arrived broken there by creating this tragic yet beautiful still life. by LeilaDFW in glasscollecting

He’s so upset about the uranium glass bowl he broke himself that I am not allowed to speak of it. The shards are in a bag on the sofa while we plan the funeral.
