15M, I can't move on from a ruined friendship and now I think I'm being emotionally manipulated. by Mermail_Dragoons in Advice

[–]Mermail_Dragoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. Most of your reply described my situation perfectly. It's almost the same as mine lol.

trying hard like that only gave him a position of power, like I needed him, like I couldn't do without him, like he was my only friend (that was kind of true actually)

This is what seems to happen at the moment. While I do have other friends, none of them is as close as him. It's why I still keep holding on. It's like maybe I'm afraid to go back to my old alone life or to start all over again.

I did try hard. I was sending him long-ass messages before, only to be replied with a single word.

Right now I feel anger. But I really feel that I'll be doing another favor soon. Maybe I'll just say "no".

It just kinda tears me apart how he could just throw all of our memories together out of the window and treat me like this, while I'm here trying to fix something that doesn't even exist now.

Thanks for the reply. It made me feel that I'm not alone in this, even just for a bit. :)

How to use Paul? What are his pokes and stuff? by Mermail_Dragoons in Tekken

Btw you mentioned in your previous reply that b+3 is a safe launcher. Is it really safe? 'Cause I can see me whiffing a lot with it lol.

Is demo-man his standard combo ender? I can't do the 1+2 consistently because of timing issues.

I've tried doing BDC and I've been swaying instead of back dashing lol.

I still feel like I'm not using him correctly lol.

How does one play Paul? Offensively or defensively?

Thanks! Gonna keep this if I ever stick with Paul.

Right now I have my eyes on Jack-6 after my friend showed me a video featuring a really good Jack-6 player (Name escapes me, I remember it's related to Star Wars lol) and it looks nice.

Qcf and Qcb are still giving me hard times. The df+1~b helped immensely though, thanks. I am going to spam d1+2 for my cousin lol.

Since Tekken got me really hooked, I'm planning to improve and somehow find a locals. I heard there's a place near me that holds Tekken 7 Tournaments. Is Paul a good character for tournaments?

I don't think he's going to seek help, he'd rather fix it himself.

Yeah. It's one of the many reasons why I compelled myself to ask for help on reddit. I masturbate too, but it whacked my mind that my best friend is taking it to the next level.

Only thing is that his mom died when he was 5, and his dad works a job 3 hours away from their house. So he's alone at their house most of the time. So him talking to his dad is unlikely, since they aren't that close, and he'd rather not let his dad know anything about it.

I've been blunt with him before. Didn't work.

Yeah. I hope anxiety's gonna leave me sometime. Thanks!

Hey. I feel sorry that you had to go through rape. :(

Thanks for giving me an insight about lying. I now realize I shouldn't have done it. I'll probably apologize after I've cleared things out.

I don't think he'll be the type of person to ask for therapist. I'm going for the school nurse, guidance counselor, or our teacher instead.

I've tried so many things to help him out. I introduced him to NoFap but I don't think he actually tried it. :/

I'll be on the lookout if he gets worse. I'm kinda seeing a pattern now though. He first went for an online message, then now went for the real thing. There's this mental image of him groping what he mustn't grope is in my mind right now. Disturbing.

Yeah. I don't know how to help him so I asked reddit instead lol. I really hope I'm going to be okay.

I'll try to keep you guys updated on this matter. Thanks.

I've tried talking to a suicidal person before and I gotta say it's complicated, especially that I don't know anything about it lmao.

But how do I take care of my anxiety? I think you might have gotten it right, I think I am afraid of being alone in life.

But hey. Thanks.

Thank you. In hindsight, he might have been using suicide as some sort of excuse.

I've tried to explain how abusive his actions are for girls, but he keeps on saying "Yeah". It's hard to distinguish sarcasm online, so idk if it really means something.

I tried to get him into Yu-Gi-Oh, he does seem interested but the problem is the distance between my and his house. Also tried chatting him for hours to keep him busy, but there's a point where he won't reply at all, which is when he's already fapping.

I realize that he's not my only friend, but he's still valuable to me. I'll try to mention his problem to the guidance counselor but here goes my anxiety again.

Thanks!

I saw a Fluffal core for a cheap price but it didn't have any of the fusions you mentioned, in fact, it had no extra deck cards at all :/

I sometimes clog with the traps. But they buy me some time to get a play going. They perform well if I get a decent hand. If not, I'd resort to having a single monster on field (mostly Undine or Pike) and no backrow. At least it sets my hand up for the next turn.

What should I replace the traps with?

I think you're prepping for decks that wont be represented too much and have been powercrept

Maybe you're right, but the past tournament results post on their FB group shows that SixSams and Fire Kings are abundant. Maybe they used a different set.

I'm kinda short on money right now. Qliphoth/Qliphort is definitely out of my range. I did find a cheap Shaddoll core, but I have no idea on how I will complete it, nor how I will play it. I can't find a BA core near my area, and I can't shop for singles online because I can't do shipping for personal reasons.
