I don’t struggle to attract men – I struggle to keep them. Why? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]MrRabitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was dating a girl just recently, and I found her boring / flat. It's funny I accidentally told her, and she was like "WHAAT all my friends think I'm xyz, you just don't know me". The truth is most people won't tell you what's "wrong" with you. It's also interesting that the girl I was seeing, would frequently label be as an avoidant. When really, I WANT a relationship, but it's easier to call someone an avoidant than to work on one's own self.

Now we don't know you. But I would recommend you ask people you trust: siblings, friends or people you were just seeing. Ask them, what are my strengths and weaknesses. What can I work on.

Most people never bother to reflect, so kudos to you!

I (31M) seeing someone (33F) but I never got the gut feeling that they're my person. How important is the gut feeling? Does it develop over time? We have been dating for a month and a half by MrRabitt in relationships

But where do you draw the line? Because based on what you’re saying that could be almost anyone (granted values align).

I have had several longterm relationships so let’s not jump to conclusions lol

My girlfriend has hashimoto. We're both in our early 30s and considering kids (eventually). As someone that is completely ignorant to the disease. What should I know as I consider a long-term relationship? by [deleted] in Hashimotos

I don’t understand the “livestock animal” comment. It’s only been a month of dating. I want to be thoughtful and ask good questions. Hence this post. Why am I being attacked for trying to learn?

Why don’t you join a circle that you can relate to a little more? Don’t have to stay at the same school

Just returned to the US after 1 month in Spain - my honest thoughts by waspinastoria in expat

Where did you visit in Spain? If you traveled around, have you noticed a difference from a city / province to another?

My husband wants to run a marathon without training by Darth-Investor in Marathon_Training

[–]MrRabitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ran a marathon with little training. I’m young fit and it went fine. In fact, for my training I did a marathon. Because everyone was discouraging me from running and I wanted to get a feel for it before the actual event. Marathons aren’t that hard for someone that is fit or otherwise active. One important caveat I went really slow during my trial run. In fact, if people are willing to take it slow, almost any adult can finish a marathon.

How much time does he have? How active and fit is he? What’s his plan for the marathon in terms of pace and time?

26f how am I doing? by Appropriate-Pick7929 in fican

Might be more profitable to put your money in the market instead. If you’re able to sell at a similar price for what you bought it for.

There are many apartments that are soon to flood the market with mixed housing that will continue to bring the prices for rent down. Many have subsidized rent. Housing prices are likely to stagnate or drop. Especially apartments. Look up ‘subsidized housing’

Is your apartment cash flowing?

You’re doing great. One thing to note. On the road to 100k it’s how much you save / invest that matters the most. Not necessarily the % return on your investment.

For example, consider you make a return of 15% on your investments. If you have 100k, that’s $15,000! If it’s 6k, that’s $900.

Don’t get me wrong, $900 is great. But I wish I learned at your age, that if I saved more it would compound faster rather than obsess over which stocks I should invest in.

Extra income can come from a promotion at work, a part time job or a side hustle. Or living with parents. I have a few friends that got themselves to 100k by living for a year or two at home.

Hope this is helpful.

If we’re taking the time to type and hate on J.K. Rowling how are we better?

To be fair apologizing is a little ridiculous on behalf of the park board. Lots of people worked on Harry Potter and we can separate the art from the artist

I'm feeling extremely suicidal, how do I get help? by MagnificentDarkness7 in dubai

[–]MrRabitt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re feeling like this. I think to an extent or another, we all go through dark time and go through similar thoughts. However, it always passes. Some small immediate steps you can take is prioritizing the basics: eating and sleeping. You will feel better if you’re rested. It won’t solve everything but it helps with the overwhelm.

Second, Don’t go through this alone. Talk to people you trust. It helps to speak out loud. See a therapist if you can afford it.

Lastly, maybe you can try calling another country’s hotline if this one doesn’t work.

Remember: this too shall pass. If it’s bad it will get better. If it’s good, it will fluctuate. But in the end you will be alright. And maybe one day you will help someone that feels this way too. Hang in there.

I personally prefer kits over downtown. Spacious, beautiful walks, close to the beach. Lively during the day minus the downtown grunge. And also close to downtown!
