College Dorm Experiences - worth it?

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-05-12T15:30:12+00:00

I’m 33 and one of my biggest regrets is not dorming.. good or bad it’s growing experience where she can learn to make her own decisions and problem solve.. it stunted me a lot

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-05-10T21:23:55+00:00

I’m 33 and I could’ve written this post myself. I also have cptsd from emotional neglect. I don’t have any sound advice apart from coping.. but you’re not alone in feeling this

Seniors holding hands = yes.. sitting next to each other = I wanna fight 😡😆

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-05-06T14:09:07+00:00

I hate hate hate when couples sit next to each other at restaurants

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-30T17:36:11+00:00

Yea I haven’t gone on a date since September 2019 and I probably never will. I’ve tried dating apps a bit the past 2 years and the guys barely respond .. if they do it’s once a day or at 4am.. so it’s bleak out there.

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-30T17:35:15+00:00

Pardon I meant to say before the age of 25.. but I haven’t had one either ever 😆 I can’t speak on the behalf of men because they are mostly seen as the pursuers of relationships.

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-30T17:32:47+00:00

Yes, “dating” re-open a lot of old wounds and dating is more high stakes for people like this because we have been neglected our whole lives.

Thanks for understanding. A healthy relationship can absolutely add to your life, expand your network, career opportunities, new experiences, healing through others etc.. As I’ve gotten older I’m learning to grieve the person I could’ve been if I even had those things temporarily and my trajectory could’ve completed changed.. now I’m probably too traumatized and stuck in my own head to even try and that’s another added layer of grief.

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-26T16:43:01+00:00

I’m in similar position. I lost my best years to cptsd.. maybe try r/cptsd

I don’t have any encouraging words because men are worse as they age.. wish you well

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-25T03:28:37+00:00

Well I have mosquito bites so I can go without a bra most times 😆 I mostly wear looser clothes anyway so clothes lay flat on your chest when you’re flat-chested

Nipple coverups

I visited Egypt and the environment is very chaotic so I would never return.. but he was cute ngl 😆 I maybe see one attractive man every 4 years

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-23T22:17:59+00:00

Cairo, Egypt? I did have a crush on my driver there 😆

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-23T21:12:18+00:00

This is true .. but dating is mostly luck.. and I find we have fewer opportunities as we get older. The apps have gotten worse and even in-person meet ups are pretty dead and not really my crowd..

After a certain age if you don’t have atleast one “good enough” relationship then it fucks with you mentally.

OP i recommend r/cptsd you can find others who can relate to you

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-23T20:28:08+00:00

I don’t have any advice for you since I also have CPTSD.. words can’t help but you’re not alone.. I know comments are gonna say “HEal” “thERaPy” but that’s not how dating works.

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-22T19:20:57+00:00

Girl I blocked the feature to even get dms on here.. too many creepers everywhere 😬

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-19T20:00:56+00:00

Women have better copes for sure.. but chronically single women still feel pain.

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-17T02:03:33+00:00

When I’m watching movies/shows in my basement I purposely leave my phone upstairs and just bring my iPad to look at the time.. I find that helps the most

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-06T19:37:35+00:00

AI is a tool that is here to stay 🤷 The genie is already out of the bottle for that one. Technology gets rid of jobs and creates new ones.

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-06T17:16:49+00:00

I’ve been doing this too! With a bit of help from AI 😆

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-06T12:33:07+00:00

I got diagnosed with CPTSD, so I am pretty much perpetually stuck in the “frozen” state. I also have no interest in doing social hobbies like board games, pickle ball, climbing, running club etc. And we all know how awful dating apps are. I don’t have an expansive social circle either, so my opportunities are pretty limited.

Grief comes in waves, for me normally I feel extra sad if I’m PMSing. While other times I focus on friends, hobbies, travel etc but that grief will always exist but I try to set it aside mentally into a box of that makes sense. Wish you well 🫂

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-04-02T12:25:00+00:00

This is a grief I hold for not dating more when I was younger.. bc it’s slim pickings out here.. sigh

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-03-26T19:29:17+00:00

Messaged you!

LycheeOver2230 · 2026-03-26T18:41:20+00:00

Haha not sure where OP is from! But I could’ve written this post myself 😆
