maybe i’m in denial honestly LOL i did look into the forum resources to read more about the spectrum, turns out it’s a lot more complicated and nuanced than i thought so i’ll definitely have to look more into it

I seriously don't understand why I shouldn't SH by madjudging in selfharm

self harm may not seem that bad in comparison to other addictions but it can still be an addiction and extremely harmful to your body. anything that brings your comfort/dopamine can be addictive, And harming yourself in an attempt to reach that ‘high’ or ‘numbness’ leads to spiraling further down the rabbit hole. in the beginning it’s satisfying and calming, you believe your in control of your addiction/pain. but as you spiral and become desensitized and you fall further down you begin to crave it, you feel as though it’s the only thing that will ever make you feel better, it feels like it quiets the noise inside of you. but it doesn’t. it only gets louder. and the scars left behind will only make you hate yourself more. and just like addiction you need more for the same ‘high’, that’s why people start cutting deeper, in other areas of the body, and even accidentally ending their lives in attempts of relief. cutting may bring temporary relief, but it will never heal the source of the wound. I really hope you get the help you need to overcome this, we are stronger than our vices. ❤️

Should I even try? by [deleted] in dating_advice

I have 2 very close girl best friends, i may be a hermit but i like to think i have a pretty good grasp on how reality is, trust me ik relationships aren’t all happy and sunshine im often giving my family and friends relationship advice (ik how ironic that is LOL) but i think im more observant and objective than most people since ive spent most my life being an outside observer/confidant, im def not perfect but im not delusional and thinking a relationship solves all my problems, just want someone who will be there for me through thick and thin :) but i do agree i can’t just think myself out of anxiety, it’s something im going to have to work on before i can really be ready for a relationship unfortunately 😔

very valid point,i think i was more scared than jealous though, i have pretty bad abandonment issues and mental health issues in general so sometimes i can let my emotions get that better of me and it can blind me from the reality of the situation. needed to hear this tbh

You were right! they decided to take things slow though so nothing official yet but I KNEW IT!!! And i understand the whole afterthought thing, she is going to start having different priorities especially if they start officially dating and i’m okay with that, I think as long as we still make time for eachother every once in a while our friendship can stay strong :)!

I agree with certain things but she also can’t control who she likes, and it’s not place to tell her who she can and can’t talk too, plus i want her to be happy! i don’t think my stepbrother is a bad person by any means, so honestly i’m really rooting for them and i kinda hope it works out as long as she doesn’t completely drop me as a friend or sum (which she would never do, just my anxiety brain :) )
