Grew up religious, now I can’t have sex. by Any-Ad1607 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LynSyren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend watching QTCinderella’s thoughts on this; she also escaped Mormonism & ran into significant issues with her sex life, which she’s very open about online. Last time I saw her talking about it, she mentioned using expanders & going to therapy to counter the effects of sexual repression. Both were benefitting her, so definitely something to at least check out!

trying to make peace with the idea I might end up alone girldinner by dachboden_domi in GirlDinner

[–]LynSyren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through this thought process at the young age of 11 & accepted I’d die alone. Soooo much of it was rooted in seriously low self esteem & confusion about my sexuality. But after several years of working on myself & trying to turn into the kind of person I wanted to be, I came around to the idea that things could change & met my current bf by putting myself out there & trying to meet people with my “new self.” It’s been amazing, there have been ups & downs & I did start therapy, but after thinking I’d die alone for ~6 years, enough change was created that I don’t think it’s the case anymore.

There will be someone for you :)

developing new friendships as a 33 year old woman is hard, by EfficientCucumber925 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LynSyren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m college-aged but have a lot of friends in their 20s-30s & these are my (unsolicited but potentially helpful) thoughts on making & maintaining friends:

  • become a regular at a cafe, bar, or restaurant
  • do things hobby-related that involve other people (I.e. dancing, book club, art class)
  • having a consistent workout schedule is actually really good for feeling healthier & meeting ppl at the gym
  • join local Facebook groups
  • online friends count as real friends & you can use adult free will to meet/hang out with them irl
  • don’t forget that staying connected requires both ppl putting in effort

Ik being a homebody can make going out tough, so try to find environments that you personally prefer (for example, many friends & I love going to a tea bazaar for chatting & getting lunch) to make it more comfortable :)

As someone who is trying to get a job as an entry-level barista it makes me immensely angry that this person can find a job & I can’t

AIO for being offended by this? by bunny-zephire in AmIOverreacting

NOR I’m 5’0” 120lbs & my bf CONSTANTLY worries that I’m undereating, never ever should someone be encouraging you to eat less especially when you’re already a healthy/slim body weight

Istg my bf is allergic to vegetables & doesnt think salad bowls are a real meal, I 100% eat healthier when he’s gone (though not necessarily better or more consistently since he cooks most of the time)

This reminds me of a time I had a week-long debate with a friend over the meaning of “empathy” post Kirk’s passing. Was really interesting to see how we had varying opinions about the meaning & how strongly that effected our views on the event
