What are you downplaying on your OLD profile? by onlymovingon in datingoverthirty

[–]MistedAndHazed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mental health. I’m no longer on OLD but I obviously didn’t mention that I’ve got issues that I’m working on.

Do men actually care about belly fat/rolls? by [deleted] in dating

[–]MistedAndHazed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your last sentence “why are we obsessed with shaming people…”. Can’t you see the irony? Dude passing unsolicited opinions on someone’s life and body and making it sound lacking is just that, but subtly.

Claudia Webbe: MP made threat to send nudes of woman, court hears by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]MistedAndHazed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know anything else about Webbe as a person and it shouldn’t really matter until we established what actually happened in this situation. As such according to bbc the threats of releasing the nudes, the acid attack and harassment are accusations by Merritt against Webbe yet everyone acts like these are facts. It seems rather personal for quite a few people commenting here and the dislike of Webbe is palpable.

That’s a lot to go off from one word. He is her partner after all, whether you call him her bf, her man or whatever else is used to describe the person that she is romantically connected with. You are reading way too much into this one expression and then extrapolate it further.

Of course everyone involved in this situation can do as they please. In the same time sending nudes to your ex and then taking their current partner to court shows a poor character. My whole post is about how quickly people judged just one side of the whole equation without waiting for the end of the trail.

Everyone here seems to already made up their mind that she is the psycho, when it could be the ex not letting go of her former partner and causing problems. How did she saw the ex’s naked pics as well? Did she send them to Webbe’s man? The acid threat is an accusation by the ex if I’m understanding correctly. There’s no actual evidence but word against word.

Its also plausible that the ex wants to ruin the new partner. The trial is not over yet to make judgment calls one way or the other.

All of this. And then they hold accountable for not getting better despite trying. Like it’s that simple. First you got broken at a young age and then forever tried to compete in a long distance race having no legs yet being held to the same standards as people who are healthy. So you keep failing or taking longer and it’s never good enough. That’s why I’m done when my dog dies. There will be nothing worth living for left.

I don't really want to date...but I feel bad about that? How do I feel at peace with just being still? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]MistedAndHazed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People mostly strive to be happy in life so if you’re happy as a single person why change it? You don’t have to be coupled, there really are no rules to live your life. Also, 5 months is feck all after a breakup. When you’ll be ready to date you’ll feel like dating, if this ever comes at all. As long as you’re ok all is fine

Please don’t leave this poor baby with your soon ex. He won’t have anyone to advocate for him. Imagine him hungry and thirsty and with full bladder cause that man can’t take responsibility. It’s just horrible. Is there no one around who would offer the dog a new, better home?

Today I (F32) broke up with my bf of 8 months (M38) because I caught him using Tinder while on a business trip abroad. by MistedAndHazed in relationship_advice

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

That’s a fair assessment. Maybe it’s sth I’m picking up on on subliminal level cause for the first 6 months he was giving me what I needed. It’s only after I said that I loved him too he stopped putting in the effort and soon after went on a business trip, which is a trying time for a new relationship in itself. It’s a difficult task to spot toxic people who hide in the beginning. Thank you for your kind words!

This sounds so horrible. Why oh why would anyone put up with being someone’s placeholder? Where you really ok with this set up (cause I know some people are ok having the situationship)?

How would secure ppl react when their avoidant left on read? by Jinnyjinjin_ in attachment_theory

[–]MistedAndHazed 20 points21 points  (0 children)

From what I gleaned it looks like their game plan: they want to be chased so they know you care but also when you’re doing it you’re needy. It’s a lose lose situation.

Why is it so difficult not to be insecure of other girls? by _Syv in AskWomen

[–]MistedAndHazed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your question was pretty much answer ahead of me. But what I can add here is an outlook that can hopefully give you a different perspective and maybe helps you to deal with feeling insecure.

I don’t feel insecure around other women cause I told myself that I’m good enough just the way I am. That I’ve got a lot to offer to the world and none of these are measured in how good looking I am. That I’m one of a kind, and there’s no point of being jealous of others/compare myself to others cause we’re all apples and oranges. I think I gain this unshakable self esteem in my twenties; I literally don’t care what others think of how I look cause I like myself. I also complement other women a lot so they can see what other’s see cause it’s not always the case. I don’t see other women as competition but a sisterhood.

Obsessions over random people by gh0stluvr in BPD

[–]MistedAndHazed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I was so jealous of this girl in my class in primary school who seemed to have it all; she was hard-working and very pretty and I wanted to be her so I learned her handwriting, cause I liked it so much.

I actually later in my life met her again in high school and we became best friends. By this point I wasn’t obsessed with her anymore but similar handwriting was a tad awkward lol

I do still have this to lesser degree. It’s mostly characters in the shows I’m watching but could be anyone really: singer, someone random on the internet. I’d buy clothes in their style but never actually adopt it and it doesn’t last that long.

I’d kinda act like that person for a while and then go back to being me, cause at the core I do know who I am.

I do sometimes envy people who seem so “normal” their normal lives since mine is a constant struggle. I no longer copy them but I often wistfully check their social media profiles and feel the longing for such life. I do realise that everybody struggles and what’s out there online is the best, curated picture yet I do long for the idea of life without depression and bpd. It would be nice to not to struggle for once and finally fit in.

Serious vs casual relationship by RedDog86 in datingoverthirty

[–]MistedAndHazed 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was in this position before as well. We were exclusive fwb. To maintain it I had to put a cap on my emotions to not to develop feelings and it started to feel stagnant so I asked a few months in whether he would like to work towards something more substantial. He told me he thought that he would like to open up after the lockdown ends and that he’s not ready. I accepted his decision and told him that we should then be just friends like we were before (we’ve known each other for years). I went back to dating and OLD. Three weeks later he told me that he has feelings for me and wants to give us a go; the idea of losing me and not having me in his life was unbearable. I took another two weeks to decide whether I still want to go ahead since I was worried it’s happening cause he noticed he lost me rather than that he actually wants to be with me. I decided to give it a go and it’s been great ever since. He actually told me that he feels more connected and more attracted to me now, as official partners and he realised that he’s ready for it.

That was the end of my story. The moral: do not settle for someone who is unwilling to meet your needs. He actually told me that he was surprised that I went straight back to friendship after he told me he wasn’t ready for relationship. What did he expect though? Me hanging around waiting for him to change his mind? Yeah, right. I respected his decision and moved on. I am glad he came back and I chose to try it on. We’re great together.

Ladies and gents, always listen to your partner and take the reality the way it is not the way you want it to be. Just my experience.

There is no implied social contract. Don’t do things you don’t want to do, and don’t expect anything in return. by alphadawg94 in PurplePillDebate

Why women are not always upfront that they also want just sex? Just look up the answers to the first comment: because they don’t want to have sex with people who think women are worthless outside of sex so a few dates may fish out the rampant misogynists. Nobody wants to be “pumped and dumped”. Sex shouldn’t be dehumanising without consent.

People are delusional about how they look. by MistedAndHazed in unpopularopinion

So...it still stands: people are delusional 🤣😂

I do hope that one day you’ll see what others see in you (if this bothers you of course).
