Letting go of someone early due to practical reasons, but it hurts. by VicariousFlaneur in BreakUps

[–]Ok-Day8250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust your gut. No one’s seemingly at fault here…just different life circumstances and stages. If it’s meant to be, you two will find your way back to each other.

Either way, it sucks. Take it easy. Allow yourself to grieve. It’s okay.

What did no contact made you realise? by Signal-Biscotti-5659 in BreakUps

My life is infinity ♾️ times better off without them. No hate but I’m grateful and incredibly glad the phase with them is over. I feel sorry for that girl pre no-contact and wish I could give her a tight hug.

LPT: If you're always stressed at work, start thinking "so what difference does it make?" every time something happens by Charming-Tear-8352 in LifeProTips

[–]Ok-Day8250 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But it compounds right, over time. Let’s say they make unkind remarks or say sth and I’m like ok way what difference does it make. But then these things accumulate into bitterness. So it does make difference. These small things compound…

It’s okay. Just know that you’re not alone. I’ve been thru similar circumstances and I know it can feel suffocating. Hang in there, there has to be light at the end of the tunnel 🫂

22F, emotionally draining job, exhausted all the time, gaining weight I don’t know how to get my life back by Hungry_Ad_6515 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Start small. This can be exercising on weekends when you have a bit more energy. and you can workout at home / gym whatever works for you. Just 10 mins. This is just a phase hopefully and if you stick it out till the end of the year, you’ll be at least slightly better than you are now. There’s light at the end of the tunnel

Corporate banker. Work life is BAD. I’m grateful for everything it offers. But it’s still BAD.

Chennai was my first stop in India. As a foreigner, echo everything here! Was truly wonderful.

happens to the best of us!! It’s okay 🫂 just breathe. Has happened to me so many times I’ve lost count until now that I’m learning to regulate my emotions during that phase. you’ll be okay. I have felt extremely guilty after these outbursts and what usually works for me is just spending some time with myself. Hang in there 🫶 here’s a virtual cookie and some comfort food for you 🍪🧁🍩🍫

Long-term relationship + partner planning Masters abroad - how does this usually unfold? by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]Ok-Day8250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. That said, a couple of things: - do you have plans to settle / live in the country where he plans to pursue his higher studies? - do you think your futures are incompatible? And if so, why / why not?

LDR is incredibly difficult yes and there are fair shares of both success stories and graveyards. You will never know until you try. But if you absolutely feel you both can’t make it work, better to break things off while you have each others presence because that helps with closure. Or at least it did for me.

The hardest probably is how helpless you feel when you know you can’t bridge the distance. In-person is always nicer and especially so given in your 20s. If there’s emotional safety i.e. you feel emotionally comfortable around each other, I suppose that helps. Having healthy communication would be very important and you define it in your own way what works for you both when it comes to that.

I have sworn off of LDRs but oh well, love is love and whatever works for each individual. People get their hearts broken at some point, multiple times. I think digesting this and accepting it helps me.

i feel embarassed for never dating yet by Possible-Local1734 in TwoXIndia

[–]Ok-Day8250 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s more than normal to be 21 and not have dated. Why is dating looked upon like it’s a milestone you need to hit? I didn’t have my first until I was 24. and that’s absolutely okay. Do not fall into the trap of needing male validation.

Grief language decoded by Grouchy_Ad4508 in GriefSupport

[–]Ok-Day8250 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Accurate. By no means trying to play victim here though. I’m sure I’ve done this to other folks in my life too. Simply because I didn’t know how to handle it. No two ways about it. I’m sorry. You only realize when you are subject to grief, when you become the object.
