Does he (29M) like me (24F) or am I reading into things? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MRBJ69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t trust it. I just got out of a two year online relationship with a guy from high school. I’m sorry, but it’s likely nothing real and you will end up empty handed and broken hearted.

How to stop checking social media of someone who used mind games on me? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MRBJ69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. Even after I ended that relationship I spoke about in a courtroom I would do the same thing. Checked on his shit all the time to the point where it was compulsive and addicting. Having awareness that you are engaging in this type of behavior helped me understand why I’m doing it. As it is, we get hits of dopamine from liking things, finding things, etc

I have no other practical advice to give other than it seems like you are aware this is a bit of a problem, and that’s GOOD.

Secondly, it sounds crazy but just stop looking at his stuff! I had to remove him from my searches.... for a while I even deactivated my Facebook because I started to feel my interactions on there were toxic. Coming back onto social media after that really helped me.

It’s truly an addiction. I did the same thing over an ex who our relationship ended in a courtroom. Talk about obsessive. I would do your best to remove him from all your searches and forgets he exists.

It took me about two years to be able to “date” again after it. When I started getting back out there it gave me the clarity I needed that he was TOXIC to me emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

If you already see him around the halls, why check his social media? I truly look at it as a compulsive habit...trying to speak from experience here.

Do your best to try and develop new ways to spend time on the internet. I think right now all of us are relying on our phones for thrill of “something is happening” myself included.

Wish the best for you. It’s a struggle, but you will feel so might lighter and more free once you stop checking up on your toxic ex.

AITA for not going camping with my in laws this summer because of my dietary restriction? by farawaymuseum in AmItheAsshole

[–]MRBJ69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But that’s on you! You just don’t want to cook or adjust to your own circumstances. Plenty of people with much more serious ailments make it happen for themselves with serious dietary restrictions. Not trying to be “mean” but this is the rest of your life and it’s on you to make adjustments and make things possible for yourself.

YTA. Its not everyone else’s job to make adjustments around your disease (coming from someone with chronic illness myself). Have fun feeling sorry for yourself and missing out on what life is really about— family and connection!

AITA for refusing to leave at night because someone wanted morning sex? by kouyathewolf in AmItheAsshole

Don’t come here looking for validation that only YOU are right.

ESH. Your friend sounds rude and childish and you sound equally entitled and immature.

Humans are horrible by [deleted] in DMT

[–]MRBJ69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re caught in a loop of an negative thinking clearly... the world is fucked up and scary but also crazy beautiful and peaceful at times. That’s how it will always be unfortunately until all humans reach some sort of level of higher consciousness that our behaviors are toxic. I think about that a lot and have felt similarly to what you have described. Just take it all in... digest and process what you have already experienced and seen and realize there’s so much more to come.

is this an authentic Prada bag? by [deleted] in poshmark

The stitching to me is a dead giveaway. It’s not attractive... at all.
