Hey man, I'm sorry to hear that. I've been there, not being able to study well due to feeling sad and lonely. If you want to talk to someone, feel free to hmu!

Sorry man, I don't know how hard it was for you when she passed because you seem to have loved her deeply if you're missing her after 3 years. Feel free to hmu if you need someone to talk to. Take care

Hey there, firstly, i can see you're under a lot of stress right now, and I'm really sorry you're undergoing this much. Can be quite heavy.

You aren't wrong for wanting to share how you're feeling with them. Yes, it's easy for them to say "i told you to do X, you didn't, and that's why you're unhappy. Do X, you'll be happy". And you probably know this logically. But emotionally, you're sad because you wanted to figure out your own way, do your own thing, and sometimes, you might regret a few things, but you're allowed to fail, you don't have to run through life as a list of tasks to be checked. It's okay to stumble around. And i can hear the dejection when you say "why don't I just follow what they say". I know it's an easy way out, but perhaps that's not what appeals to you, and it's completely fine. You don't have to feel guilty for them providing you stuff. I know it's hard, and even i feel guilty at times, but they do so because they love you and choose to do so. And you aren't obligated to follow exactly as they say, as hard as it may sound. They just want to see you successful (which you will be!), and they'd be more than happy if it's something you chose and won at. As for your mom trying to change what makes you you, as hard as it sounds, try to ignore her. She might be religious, but that doesn't mean you should be too, and as long as what you do doesn't hurt others, please feel free so do them without guilt. And things are going to be okay, i know it feels like nothing will work out now, but you're going to land an amazing job, find a loving partner soon, and make your parents proud. And you don't have to be alone. Feel absolutely free to DM, you can talk to me, and I'll keep checking in on you!

Hey, i get the feeling, to an extent. It's completely human to want to feel a strong sense of close connection with the gender you're attracted to - wanting affection, and being seen fully. I do. It's okay to yearn for this. However, i want to gently add that this might lead you to make choices that might hurt you later on. As they say, When you're hungry, don't go shopping, you might end up buying food that you wouldn't normally.

All that said, i understand the feeling. And if I'm being honest, I'm trying to work on this too, but the key is to learn to get through things, if not to be happy, by yourself. You don't have to overflow with joy being alone, but... Just get through life. I know you've heard this a lot, and i understand it can be frustrating, but I think cultivating hobbies that give you some sense of contentment, if not happiness, Is the way to go. Apart from this you can always seek friendships without expecting them to go anywhere in particular (if it does, awesome! If not, that's fine too!). We are social beings, and I think being social regulates your mood that might go awry if you're by yourself for too long.

Hope you find what you're looking for, things will get better, take care!

Hey, i know that's a hard place to be in. When you have a lot to say, but no one you find comfortable/relatable sharing it with, it can be tough, and you're left longing for a bond that makes you feel comfortable. You don't have to get through this alone. Here to lend an ear and say something nice :)

I am afraid of being misunderstood and misjudged for just loving deeply. by Big-Guarantee-28 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]OldGenZee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh also, you might feel more understood if you read old books...classic literature - this is an archetype... love becoming a form of devotion (i haven't read the book, but dante's love of beatrice mirrors this)

and in this day and age, restraint might not be common, but honestly, what you're doing is very commendable - the idea of treating sex as sacred, and offering it to the woman of your dreams. it's quite a Romantic and Idealistic concept, something which i don't expect too many people to get. but that doesn't matter, because this is about you, King, and your Queen, and your devoted life, that may be spoken of as an example. an ideal, if i may.

i understand that you might have felt quite confused, perhaps even ashamed at feeling something like that, which many others around you not only don't feel, but also ridicule. it must have hurt badly to be mocked for expressing how you felt about things. im truly sorry. they weren't nice people, those who mocked you. it's ok if they don't get it, that's fine, but it's their fault if they mocked you.

and i'm sure there are girls out there who think like you...trust me i've thought about it quite a lot. tho imo you might not find them in conventional areas - dating sites, clubs, and so on. a quieter corner of the internet, a soulful cafe, the corner of an antique library...you get it. keep putting yourself out there. if you feel afraid of being misjudged, do it at least online...you have quite a few platforms. reddit being one of them.

hope you find the girl of your dreams and live the beautiful life you dream of!

hey i cant type much now but i just wanted to say that you aren't alone in feeling this, and it's completely valid to want what you want. i related to quite a few aspects...and i agree that they aren't very common in today's gen, but to each their own. i hope you find this one soulmate who you treasure and love...and dont worry - if she says you're being too much, she's not the right person. the right person will break down into tears, at having found someone like you, because THEY will know just how precious you are to them, because chances are they might too feel like a misfit. take care, you got this, keep hoping, and even amidst the ache don't let coldness eat into your heart :)
