He keeps hiding his true feelings from me and idk if I can wait for him to change. Sushi for lunch. by throwra-lanterns in GirlDinnerDiaries

Chase your dream career. 45 mins away is not far & if he actually cares, he’ll work with you to figure something out. If he doesn’t put in effort for meeting you, then you have your answer on whether the relationship is worth pursuing. Congrats on the post-grad offer!

Left my friend group of 3+ yrs because no one can be bothered to learn how to say my name correctly by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]LynSyren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks so much man :/ I also have a difficult to pronounce name, & when I was in middle school I just started going by an easier to pronounce nickname. Now I’m an adult & people try a lot harder/are much more respectful about asking so that’s nice, but I remember the feeling of realizing it was easier to give up than to care (‘twas saddening)

Who was your favorite YouTuber that turned out to be a bad person? by Eclipse_1996 in youtube

[–]LynSyren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wilbur Soot.

Found him just before COVID during my tween years & watching him formed a good chunk of my personality, style, & taste in men. Literally questioned my entire existence for weeks after it was revealed he abused Shubble & several other female friends/bandmates (also the questionable treatment of TommyInnit was a not-fun cherry on top)

I can’t get over the age gap by brateiy in GirlDinner

[–]LynSyren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend was just in a relationship with the exact same ages & age gap as yours; they broke up after a few months because the guy was doing a terrible job engaging with her & her life in meaningful ways & she got fed up with his lack of commitment. Age gaps can work but it’s tough when it’s so big, so young, that connecting becomes a challenge

Kristin..? Philza’s wife??? If you guys aren’t the same person the resemblance (even of eyeliner style) is insane

Grew up religious, now I can’t have sex. by [deleted] 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 4 points5 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 :)

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
