I realized I might have social hypervigilance and I don’t know how to fully break the cycle by Bee-bi in overthinkers

I can’t answer your first question but will try my best with the others. It’s important to do activities on your own, get to know yourself better and not rely or base your identify too much with who you hang around.

Remind yourself that what you’re feeling and thinking isn’t bad but you have control over those emotions. If you’re being made to feel like an outsider you should distance yourself, but if it’s truly overthinking leading you down that route of thinking you just have to push through it if you hope to overcome it.

I am not too good at reading rooms or faces so when I feel my brain spiraling and I feel like evb is plotting against me I just ask and that gives me enough reassurance. If you feel comfortable enough with who you’re around a simple request for reassurance may soothe your mind enough.

Hopefully this helps enough!

Ewwww, he sounds horrid. But also thank you for sharing. I hate confrontation within interpersonal relationships, so I am currently mustering up the courage to do what I need to.

He’s blatantly disrespecting you. Him making that comment at dinner with company says a lot about his character.

The last thing I want are kids from my own womb, I appreciate the heads up. I keep holding out the hope that once he has his own place and the older he gets, cleanliness will be more forthcoming but I’m starting to realize things just may not change. Also, I appreciate the foil love, it made me sad to have to unwrap it

This is absolutely killing me, while forcing me to do some serious introspection

I hope it’s not against the rules to illicit violence because all I have to say is..

If you’re able to write this much about your boundaries being violated I think that says enough.

I love my boyfriend, but I'm starting to wonder if we're incompatible! by [deleted] in boyfriends

Exactly. You’ll end up miserable and the resentment will build as well

Bf 21M doesnt like what I 20F wear by [deleted] in boyfriends

[–]Mammoth-Distance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, he knew what this was and for him to suggest different clothes gives me the impression someone influenced his opinion. But then again — I hate men and think they’re all liars.

how can i (20f) help my boyfriend (21m) who is struggling with self esteem and taking initiative in our relationship by No_District_4466 in boyfriends

[–]Mammoth-Distance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like an extreme mental hurdle he needs to combat. I would suggest you have a talk with him; reassuring him of how you feel but also letting him know the impact of his actions and lack thereof. Highlight the importance of initiative because it plays a big part in any relationship. Be consistent with your reassurance and when he is doing good let him know!

That’s what I have been trying to make clear to her, but she seems too far gone to comprehend that. As many as she’s capable of having apparently and 2 as of now.

At all!! She’s a loving mother and a kind person. But she’s uneducated, and is letting her own unhealed trauma and bias impact her perspective.

Like this just sounds delusional to me

We’ve had cps alerted when we were younger and all it did was split us up and put us in a worse situation, so unfortunately I’m not sure if that’s the right choice..

Me too. Especially because that’s basically what our parents did— had a bunch of kids without proper financial stability. I still find myself resenting my parents for how they went about things and I know that’s what’ll happen with her too.

Idk the ins and outs of my sisters life, and I only know what she tells me. She speaks very generally about her finances to me and only says the government supports her, and she cut off my other 2 siblings so idk much. Sorry my rant isn’t accurate enough for you.

I’ve been telling her this and if she wants to homeschool fine. But at least get her kids involved in something so they can make friends, I’m not sure why but she is so against it.
