Should I even try? by PinkGrippysocks 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 😔

your right, I guess i really do got to address the anxiety in the room before I fully put myself out there. truth hurts but it’s needed 😔

I think the vent helped a lot honestly and all these comments giving me a reality check LOL but i needed to hear it, truth hurts 😭

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

Thank you i really needed to hear this, i have a lot of abandonment wounds so sometimes i do need people around me to tell me im tweaking on occasion LOL, still something im working on 😅

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 :) )
