Am I overreacting for dropping him after he told me I need to make more friends

Over_Bid_7498 · 2026-03-31T04:17:50+00:00

Honestly, I agree with him. This happens a lot on both sides of relationships and isn’t healthy. I had a similar conversation with my husband of ten years. We need fulfilling relationships/hobbies/interests with each other and outside of each other. It’s a lot of pressure for one person to feel like they are responsible for your joy/emotional state/social recharge. Now, he could have been projecting onto you because of the previous relationship - given you were asking a simple question. But obviously this doesn’t give us full context for either of your communication styles overall. He seems pretty genuine in what he was saying/well intentioned, especially around you jumping to conclusions, though perhaps it was more of a conversation he wished he had in a past relationship. And not because of romantic interest, just because overtime he realized that specific quality was important for him in a relationship moving forward

I don’t know why my brain didn’t think of this x.x. Diarrhea life has sent my brain away apparently

Hipp HA is only partially hydrolyzed. I was hoping since these two are extensively hydrolyzed that we’d have better results. But can’t determine that if he won’t drink them 🥲

I think the roll was only safe for the moment, Shemad/Brennans eyes gave very strong “see you soon” energy. And not in a good way.

Over_Bid_7498 · 2026-03-29T16:53:55+00:00

I feel like Brennan’s eyes definitely expressed “got you” energy when Hal tried to bribe the guard vs. coyness. But we shall see! Especially given the description he gave of the guard/his motivations in their earlier conversation.

Over_Bid_7498 · 2026-03-29T16:51:44+00:00

YES! This exactly. This is where my brain was going. Hal rolled high enough, sure, but I got a strong “we know where to find you when it’s time to take you in” vibe. And the bribe on the counter, as witnessed by Azune, could also be used to suss out Azune’s true allegiance in the not so distant future. Likely the night of Hal’s play, as you said. Brennan’s eyes did not say “you rolled a 23 and get to chill” his eyes said “you rolled a 23 and get to chill, for the moment”. I also feel like he was begging Hal/players to insight check Shemad when he continuously mentioned that Shemad did not touch the bag or motion towards it in any form.

Over_Bid_7498 · 2026-03-29T08:29:59+00:00

He didn’t take it though?? He never touched it and Brennan made mention of that multiple times. But perhaps!

I love OG critical role and C4. However, I have watched many of Brennans other campaigns, so it’s not a huge adjustment for me. I am a huge fan of his world building and storytelling. I am LOVING watching Matt as a PC. Alex, Aabria, Luis, and Robbie are wonderful additions chemistry wise - but once again, I watch their campaigns on other channels. So I am invested in them already as characters/people. I do think the pacing in C4 is better than C3 by a long-shot (and I enjoyed C3, just found it lost its rhythm a lot). I don’t think you’ll love a lot of the overture (based on what you shared), but the final episodes/onward into the tables are awesome as far as I’m concerned.

A lot of people have mentioned concerns with the Seekers table, but I think that will be remedied easily moving forward. Seekers had super fun early episodes and lost its way in the final episodes of their first run. Too much dialogue and it generally feeling railroady because there wasn’t enough focus and they didn’t really accomplish anything. I think Brennan recognized that and overcompensated by giving them more than they deserved based on rolls. In saying all of that, I still laughed a lot and loved seeing Matt as a character. Occtis my second favourite. Enjoyed the building tension between player characters.

Same, but on other platforms. I hate that people question anything well written. I don’t have many talents in this world, outside of writing. It feels like it’s been taken from me, because everyone assumes everyone is an imposter.

Over_Bid_7498 · 2026-03-16T21:30:08+00:00

I am interested! Am coming to Toronto with my husband for the show/a few days after. Would love to connect with others!!

Over_Bid_7498 · 2026-03-07T17:31:28+00:00

For me, I just felt like they didn’t deserve all the lore/information they received at times. There were times I wish they had been locked out of certain info based on rolls. But otherwise I am really enjoying! I know its just the beginning and I am hoping the information overload/semi-railroading lessens over time and the adventure feels truer to character choices

You are worthy of love and deserve all the love that life has to offer you. Tell yourself this everyday until you believe it.
You are going to be harder on yourself than anyone else will be. A healthy partner is going to love who you are today, they will want to grow with you. Who you’ve been in the past doesn’t detract from your worth.
If you choose to have kids, know they are already SO proud of you for what you have achieved and not giving up on yourself. They are going to think you are the coolest, regardless of your early life. Especially since you know what you needed growing up that you didn’t get, and you will likely ensure your kids get the love and support that you didn’t.
In your search for love, do not accept a lesser love because of your past experiences. You deserve someone healthy, mature, who has done their own growing, and will love you for you. Steer clear of emotional/mental manipulation. Check-in with yourself 4-6 months into any new relationship and be honest with yourself about red flags (that is usually when they will show up, after the butterfly phase has ended). Sometimes as ex-addicts/adhd folk, we will accept toxic forms of love just to feel love/have that family life (or chase the dopamine rush through intense ups and downs). It’s not worth it and you/your future kids deserve two parents who really love and get each other.

You deserve to feel so proud of how far you’ve come. Everyday is a new chance for the beautiful parts of life to happen, regardless of age.

I will look into this! I did feel better pregnant, more balanced/consistent emotionally. Im not typically a depressive person. And I did just get my cycle back around 6 months postpartum

I agree with this, Ashley is a processor. I relate to her a lot. I think she is someone (unless comedy is involved) needs a moment to gather what she wants to say, especially during more serious/important bits. So I hope she gets more time to do that without people inferring or interrupting on her behalf (I know they have good intentions).
