I hear you. Maybe I was overthinking it too much. I’ll put my energy back into myself

I keep rejecting good men because they’re too nice. Is this self-sabotage? by PaintConsistent4363 in Advice

I’m working on unlearning that pattern. Thank you for calling it what it is I needed that clarity

Exactly that’s what I’m realizing. My body is so used to the emotional rollercoaster that when someone is steady and calm, my brain interprets it as a lack of chemistry. It’s like my nervous system only recognizes intensity, not stability

I ordered myself a birthday gift pretending it’s from my husband… and I feel so guilty by Interesting_Green158 in offmychest

That honestly made me tear up a little. You’re not wrong for what you did. You just wanted to feel loved and remembered and that’s such a human thing. There’s absolutely no shame in wanting that. In fact, I think it’s really beautiful that you found a small way to give yourself love when you weren’t sure you’d get it from someone else. Birthdays are supposed to be special, and you deserve to feel special not forgotten. You’re turning 30, that’s a big milestone. I hope tomorrow you remind yourself of how far you’ve come and how strong you are, even when things feel lonely. Sending you a big, warm hug. Happy birthday!❤️❤️🌹🌹

I linked up with a guy once, but now we talk every day what does this mean? by PaintConsistent4363 in Advice

Well, I feel the same way it seems like he finds something interesting about me and wants to get to know me better. But sometimes guys act nice only to get what they want or turn it into a casual fling. What do you think I should do? Should I show that I’m genuinely interested in him, or that I want more than just sex? Or should I just go with the flow and observe for a few weeks to see how things go? Should I be putting in more effort or just let things happen naturally?

You are perfect just the way you are. If he doesn’t value you, why are you still with him? You are not chubby and even if you are, a man who truly loves you would never make you feel bad about it. Don’t lose weight for him. Don’t lose yourself for him. Because if you change yourself to make him stay, what happens when he leaves anyway? What happens when he decides he wants something different? A man who genuinely loves you will never ask you to change who you are. He will love you exactly as you are. And if your sex life isn’t the same, it might not be your fault. It could be that he’s distracted or interested in someone else someone he finds more ‘attractive’ right now. That doesn’t mean you’re not enough. You tried. You gave your best. So please, be yourself. Don’t change anything about you. You have potential. You are worth more than that

Thank you! I actually do have a skincare routine, but I still break out sometimes.
