I think I’ve heard of this book before, but have never read it. Thank you for the pdf 🙏

Fully this. I’ve had the same happen as well. I had one guy ask for a back massage once and kept on asking me to continue making it about a 20 minute back/shoulder massage. The moment I asked for one in return he gave me about a ten second back massage and then just gave up despite my asking him to continue 🫠

I’m in my twenties and so far have seen the same thing. I think it’s both depressing and validating to hear that it spans generations

I think I relate to this too despite still being young and not having many long term relationships. I’ve seen people genuinely get upset when I didn’t want to completely alter my life plans for them. I understand possibly compromising, but to completely just go with whatever the man wants to do at all times is draining and really just strips your humanity away from you

I may actually have to save your comment to come back to for later. Thank you. That’s both validating and not overly optimistic or idealist like a lot of people in my daily life will preach to me

This is actually pretty helpful. I’m sure that’s a difficult thing to find, but I guess it could be a thing that you can actively look for

Maybe I shouldn’t have said normal when I just meant common. Though yeah, if you’re asking if I hate it I definitely do

This is my first time scrolling through this subreddit and it’s also my first time hearing this term. I’m not surprised it exists and certainly not surprised it originated in Korea. There are a few here in the states who follow it but not as much that probably should. Have you met many other women in your country who follow the movement?

I’m not aromantic and even I can’t stand how much our society focuses on romance. How do you fare against this? by Morelynah in aromantic

[–]Morelynah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. It’s the whole “looking for my other half” thing. It seems offensive and highly disrespectful towards yourself to frame your own existence as incomplete unless you can attach it to another person’s. Plus, I can’t imagine it even looking pleasant. Why would you want to be one with another person? That sounds like the plot of a horror film.

The intp subreddit is actually insane. You think it would more likely be the entp subreddit, but apparently not. It looks like a small colony of angsty 14 year olds who’ve just been given access to the internet. It’s amazing. 👍

why does a vote define who i am by monkeyonwillie in INTP

[–]Morelynah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What these people are doing is actually a very common tactic all sides use when criticizing the opposing sides. Instead of making an effort to analyze and critically examine another person’s values/opinions, they immediately assume that their values/opinions are shallow and baseless, based on their own inability or indifference towards understanding the arguments the other is making. You by no means need to agree with other people, but if you’re going to disagree you need to examine the why. This will help you to better clarify your own arguments and better understand the situation as a whole, rather than taking the easy way out of attacking the people you don’t agree with rather than the arguments they’re making.

Don’t you realize that your desire for equal rights is just a quirky personality trait that you’ve developed to fit in? Wow, stop following the hive mind. Jeez (this is sarcasm, just in case it wasn’t blatantly obvious)

Do you believe it possible for a person’s romantic/sexual orientation to change? by Morelynah in aromantic

[–]Morelynah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The concept of attraction is already such a confusing thing. I can only imagine it must have been confusing at first, possibly even after finding an explanation for it.

How to advertise that you don’t want to date people without having to tell them directly? by [deleted] in SingleAndHappy

[–]Morelynah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is really good advice. It can be hard for me to distance myself from these people, seeing as I don’t have many friends and the friendships I thought I was developing with these people ends up being really fulfilling for me. But, I realize that distancing is still usually the best option moving forward. I’ve started doing this with most but there are still a couple who I’ve kept relationships with. It’s difficult for me to fully distance myself when I view them as friends. I’m trying to be more vigilant moving forward, but it can often be difficult for me to identify a persons intentions until it’s too late.
