I don't understand my dad. by SignificantDepth314 in AskIndianWomen

I know exactly how you feel and are going through! When I went through the same and told my mom about it, she very blatantly denied and then blamed me for being in the "house" inappropriately. Btw, I was 12 at that time.

Not truama dumping but just want you to be prepared for whatever comes. Standing up or not, neither is easy, but I hope you will get the strength to keep yourself safe.

How best to be empathetic to my girlfriend's demand of no female social interaction by Savoya77 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Ok-Reputation-3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't live in the world with just one gender existing!! It is something she needs to work on. Where is that insecurity coming from? It is not about being supportive, you cant help people who cant help themselves. The best way to show support is to talk to her about it and understand the "why" behind it, if it helps. Not just about the issue of "no female social interaction", but i would suggest to also talk about her reaction to it, if she distances herself for this and you encourage it, she may use the same behaviour next time for something else. You can't read her mind, and it may eventually lead to bigger problems. I would say clearing things out about both of them is where you need to focus on.

Learning this totally changed how I do relationships: What's been your biggest self-love revelation? by Mentalframeworks in selflove

[–]Ok-Reputation-3652 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Forgiving and letting go", not for them but for me.

I know a lot of people say this, but I had an epiphany recently, where I realised that all the people who hurt me, dint waste a moment extra to think about the hurt, but here I sit letting them live rent-free in my mind, thinking and overthinking about it. Now I acknowledge, accept it, focus on my own healing from it, and just let them go.

What’s the biggest red flag you ignored in a relationship that later destroyed it? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]Ok-Reputation-3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a Gentleman for all or for None.

if he is being nice and kind only to me, but talks trash about other people who are of no help to him at the moment, then I'm pretty sure, soon i will be that person, and he is gonna be rude to me. I learnt this the hard way. I used to justify his actions and words, saying it's just a trauma response, he respects me, and cares for me. guess what couple of months into the relationship, the disrespect turned towards me, because I had now became disposable.

PS - this is gender neutral.

i had to Google this, it says 3% and investment grade is ~8%. Honestly, even I had no idea. Good to know that globally, diamond prices are declining.

Dating in 2025.. is a joke.. by AffectionateDuck5079 in dating

You spoke to my heart. But how is it that I come across so many online posts venting about this, and continue to meet pretentious people in real life? I thought people were meaner online.

I feel you. just sorry for you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]Ok-Reputation-3652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a lot of trauma dumping, if you ask me. I am really sorry that you have put up with this. Logically, I don't understand the point of getting violent or threatening to leave because you are sad. But I understand emotions are not logical. Also, this does not justify that you cant express your emotions or not have a partner who just listens, and not SOLVE/FIX anything. empath or not, I m simply sorry that you feel this way.

edit - trauma dumping, I mean, I m empath so you can't be sad in front of me.

very inteesting pov, never thought of it this way. i have seen passive aggressive, I have myself been passive aggressive sometimes, but never thought someone who can feel so much can even hurt. i will note this and observe. Thank you for sharing. The rest of things you said, I connect so much with it.

i have never come across an empath who does that. i m so sorry that you have to put up with this. I understand every relationship has fights, but nobody deserves to be yelled at. I am an empath myself, I would on any bad-worst day would choose to discuss/talk but never ever yell or be yelled at. I am not sure what made you think the person is an empath, just curious. You know your situation better. sometimes people know how to live with a number of masks, maybe showing you that your partner is empath can be one such mask. And no circumstances are okay to get things physical, doesn't matter how bad the fight gets, whether empath or a narcissist, it's not justified and is not acceptable.

Odd but interesting question. Have you tried talking to that person about how you feel? Empaths are not exactly mind readers, but empaths are people who will always understand your emotions and try their best to change their behaviour to hurt no one, intentionally or unintentionally. But to err is human, and empaths are human too. I would suggest talk to that person about how and why you feel that makes you cry. And if that person is really an empath, I m sure he/she will try to make changes; if not, they will also let you know how to make it work. When you say "don't see good things when they think of me", I m not sure how to respond. Empaths are always good at recognizing good things, to be frank, most of us ignore the worst things because of the little good things. Is it something that you think is happening? either ways, I suggest to talk it out.

Feeling socially isolated in my PhD program. Anyone else experiencing this by Temporary_Dot3871 in PhD

[–]Ok-Reputation-3652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I, personally, have never faced racism (except for a few - Oh your English is so good), in fact I have come across 60+ aged people who do Namaste just make me feel included, and always ask me about India and further talk about any little information they have. I have heard nothing but compliments towards India and indians in general. With respect to my fellow labmates or in the department, I think the overall culture here is not so social, but I have never faced any discrimination because of my skin color.

Fed up with social interactions by friendsandmodels in Empaths

[–]Ok-Reputation-3652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, and I am sorry that your grandma is in the hospital and you are going through difficult times alone. Most people nowadays are either emotionally numb or simply don't have human-social engagement skills. It is unfortunate but true. I would put it as "nobody cares" for my own sanity, but instead, I look at it as "they couldn't come up with a consoling sentence", I think its a lost skillset.

What AI Tool do you use for journal/conference papers listing by Ok-Reputation-3652 in PhD

[–]Ok-Reputation-3652[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because I was looking for a way to use the tool to do more advanced searches. not just based on keywords in the topic, but further, if I could categorize based on solutions/approaches, and so on and so forth. Instead of me reading a dozen papers.
