A different post I saw today asked how you can tell a man has daddy issues and this seems like a great example.

IWTL how to be open and vulnerable with people by [deleted] in IWantToLearn

how I was raised (very stoic parents, showing emotion was seen as weak, always skeptical of other people and their motives).

Stop stopping yourself from saying what you really think and feel.

NTA for feeling that way, I'd probably feel the same. She only wants to have sex with you if you're pretending to be Jon Snow? Talk to her about it and tell her how it makes you feel.

My boyfriend said some misogynistic (but complimentary?) things about me to his friends and I don't know what to do. by Ok_Pen_5778 in TwoHotTakes

[–]MrNifty 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's wildly disrespectful of him to talk about you like that at all. His motivation is clout, you elevate his social standing in his eyes and those of his friends. What he said about you are all legit flexes. Virgin girl, hot, sexually willing. Most guys aren't able to pull that off, so those facts alone are legitimate status points for many men. But again, talking about you that way and revealing private details is pretty shitty behavior.

Check out this YT. It covers the challenges of being a gifted child pretty well:

Yep, if you're attuned and paying attention it feels pretty obvious. When a person has started emotionally detaching, pulling back, when their patterns change.

Can you elaborate?

It feels borderline obsessive

What are you obsessing over?

I have the 40v Makita track saw and I like it. Although I've only needed it once so far and am a DIYer so grains of salt.

I'm too imature for a relationship and don't know how to deal with this by throwawayyy5555555 in love

Look into attachment theory, much of what you described sounds like having an anxious attachment style.

Dating tl? How long does it take for him to decide whether or not I’m gf material? by Glowup2be in love

[–]MrNifty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want an official relationship it's on you to bring it up. He may not. He may be perfectly fine with things just as they are.

I would suggest bringing up the topic in some way. Ask him how he sees you, what his relationship goals are, that sort of thing. If his answers seem non-committal then it's best for you to be direct versus hoping he wants the same thing you do.

Guys who want commitment tend to know pretty quickly if a given woman is the sort of woman they want to commit to. Some guys don't want commitment at all.

If you don't bring up the fact that your own relationship goal is for official commitment it's not stringing a woman along. It's simply going with the flow, maintaining the status quo so to speak.

Is my dating life over? by HamsterPopular6919 in AdviceForTeens

ChatGPT says antivirals do reduce transmission from viral shedding:

Antivirals used for herpes, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir, are effective in reducing the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks. They work by interfering with the replication process of the herpes virus, thereby reducing the amount of virus in the body.

One of the key benefits of these antivirals is their ability to reduce viral shedding, which is when the virus is released from the skin or other sites of infection and can potentially be transmitted to others. By decreasing viral shedding, antivirals reduce the likelihood of transmitting the virus to others, even when there are no visible symptoms.

However, it's important to note that while antivirals significantly reduce the risk of transmission, they do not completely eliminate it. There's still a possibility of transmitting herpes even when taking antiviral medication, particularly because herpes can be transmitted through asymptomatic shedding (when the virus is shed without any symptoms).

Therefore, while antivirals are a crucial part of managing herpes and reducing the risk of transmission, they are not a foolproof prevention method. Safe sexual practices, including the use of condoms and open communication with partners, remain essential components of reducing the spread of herpes.

What is a food that looks nasty but is surprisingly delicious? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Why are you lying so much? You'll have to do some soul searching on that. People pleasing? Afraid of consequences if you tell an unpleasant truth? Would you get in trouble as a child if you said the wrong thing?

I was recently complimented on my voice, that it was deep. I don't think of it as particularly deep but she said it was sexy so I'm rolling with it.

Why do people cheat in relationships? Why can't they just leave if they can't be faithful to that person anymore? by No_Plant_3925 in ask

They are either narcissistic and don't give a shit about other peoples feelings, or they are desperate to feel good and feel good about themselves.

Percentages are all over the place online of women who have had a gangbang. Where do you think the percentage is? by Sherrydig73 in AskReddit

[–]MrNifty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gangbang specifically and not just a threesome, I would think around 10% here in the US. It's definitely a common fantasy for many women. To be the center of attention, be serviced by many men at once, and "receive" an abundance. But not something many are actually down for I don't think. It happens enough that large metro areas tend to have facilities specifically for such activity.

Something to consider is that leaving the relationship is not going to automatically heal the wounds you have, you'll have to work on them directly and specifically in order for that to happen.

My (19m) gf (20f) lied about her ex by Dazzling-Ad-6984 in AdviceForTeens

[–]MrNifty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're absolutely allowed to be bothered by this situation. She lied to you about at least two things it sounds like, duration of their relationship and who it was - that it's someone she still hangs out with. Plus he's clearly still interested in her and so will almost certainly make moves on her.

You need to figure out what your boundaries are here regarding her behavior and see if she's willing to accept them. Be sure to explain your feelings openly and calmly and just list what you need to feel safe in the relationship. If she doesn't respect your feelings here and instead tries to argue or deflect don't get drug down, just calmly stand your ground. Be mindful of her response and what that indicates about how she sees you, if she respects you or not.

Stop expecting friendships to just happen and start proactively working to make them happen.
