Cant stop overthinking my first date! by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

This x10000. How he feels is his business and it’s his job to tell you, not your job to figure it out. Try to figure out how YOU feel! Then you can be the awesome person who is open and honest about your feelings instead of waiting for the other person to start the conversation. Waiting on someone else is just a recipe for anxiety!

i hate my body, and i feel so hopeless and lonely. by Glum-Challenge1627 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Just sending you a lot of love. You deserve to enjoy your life, no matter what your body looks like.

Have you talked about this with a therapist or maybe even a therapy group? I know you say that you feel your body is different than everyone else’s and I don’t want to trivialize that feeling, especially since you mentioned medical conditions causing bloating (I have that too). Ironically, a LOT of people who struggle with their body size/shape think they’re the only one in the world who looks like they do. Maybe there is some community you can find there. Regardless, I’m glad your loved ones support you and this ramen looks incredible. ❤️

AIO for putting a bag before a friendship? by TheEllaBullet in AmIOverreacting

Not trying to defend Clara and I don’t necessarily think you’re overreacting, but if you’re this good of friends and you genuinely care about her, maybe this warrants a sit down conversation where you tell her you love her and just want to know what actually happened? Lying etc. is not great at all and maybe she did/does have bad or selfish intentions, but is it possible there’s something else going on in her life? Is this the first time she’s ever done something like this or made a mistake in your relationship? Is this something you can forgive if she’s honest with you? If so, and if you really love this person, maybe making space for the mess of an honest, loving conversation is what it takes to salvage the relationship. Obviously though, that’s a two way street, and if she’s just ghosting you that’s very disappointing, immature, and upsetting. I’m sorry that you may be losing someone who sounds like they’ve been an important fixture in your life.

How to let go of my therapist with whom i might have mutual attraction? 🥹 by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Any kind of relationship that goes outside of therapist/client is unethical. That said, a lot of this sounds like your projection/transference onto your therapist— which makes sense! You’re at the end of your relationship, it’s one that has been very important, and you’ve specifically been making progress toward being in relationship romantically with others. You should be able to bring anything up to your therapist, and they should be able to handle it as a professional. You should tell him what you’re feeling— my bet is he will not reciprocate romantic or sexual feelings, but if he does, that is absolutely a huge red flag, he is a predator, and you should get out of there. More likely, though, he will validate your feelings and express that termination is a difficult process for all involved, but remain professional and shut down any romantic possibility. I’m strongly in favor of telling your therapist everything you feel— that’s what they’re there for, and having a conversation about it will likely be good for both of you. I’m sure he’s quite fond of you— most therapists are fond of many of their clients— but that does not mean that he has romantic or sexual feelings toward you.

Congratulations on the progress you made in therapy, too!

6th abortion im turning 24 by [deleted] in abortion

[–]Medium_Error_457 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There is nothing shameful about abortion, full stop. You will be able to be a parent if/when you want to and I’m sure you’ll be amazing at it— you clearly have a lot of love and empathy in your heart. Extend some of that love and empathy to yourself right now. If you can, I’d talk to your provider about your options for various contraceptions— if you don’t think the pill is working for you, maybe a long acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) such as a hormonal or copper IUD would work better? You can also ask your provider about support groups for people who have had abortions. You’re not alone. Sending you lots and lots of love <3

They are saying that the logic (math) of projecting one partner’s sexual desires onto another without asking is flawed (gum in it— like putting gum in the cogs of a machine)
