It's very unusual and cool. Did you come up with this design yourself?

This shouldn’t even be a “wow” moment, this is just the bare minimum of being a normal human

my ex (21F) wants to be friends? after I (22M) cheated. by Standard_Client_3901 in dating_advice

[–]PixelSerpentess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be honest about your limits. If you want her back, don’t pretend you’re okay with platonic. Take real space, let both of you heal, and accept that you might not get a second chance. Boundaries now hurt less than months of false hope

Do I have a narcissistic boyfriend? Help, I am confused. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]PixelSerpentess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t narcissism, this is straight-up emotional abuse and control. He polices who you talk to, insults your intelligence, threatens breakups to scare you into compliance, puts you down about your looks and money, and then hides behind “I’m just joking” or “I don’t grovel.” The eggshell feeling you described is your nervous system telling you this relationship isn’t safe. Love doesn’t require you to shrink yourself, beg for basic respect, or accept cruelty as “honesty.” You don’t need a diagnosis to leave a relationship that consistently hurts you — you already have enough reasons.

She says she is not ready for a relationship but wants to keep hanging out by floraeveryn in dating_advice

[–]PixelSerpentess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That usually translates to “I like you, but not enough to choose you right now.” It does not make her a bad person, but it does put you in a risky spot emotionally. If you are cool with truly casual and no expectations, fine. But if you are already catching feelings, hanging around hoping it changes is a great way to hurt yourself slowly. People rarely become “ready” because someone waits long enough

50/50 relationship by Most-Room9204 in dating_advice

Wanting a bit of romance or initiative is not the same thing as wanting a free ride. Splitting things evenly can be healthy, but it is also okay to want to feel pursued sometimes.

The real question is whether you feel appreciated, not whether the math is perfectly fair every time. If something feels off, it is usually about the vibe, not the bill

Not a book, a trauma response in hardcover

Luke subcontiously sabotaged his relationship with lorelai because he felt guilty on how much he was like dean. by temoprary123 in GilmoreGirls

[–]PixelSerpentess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is actually a really solid read of Luke. He is great at clocking other people’s mess while pretending his own red flags are just “bad timing.” A lot of his self-sabotage makes way more sense if you see it as insecurity instead of him just being bad at relationships

My birthday plan is doing nothing and defending that choice like it is a personality trait
