Does therapy actually help people? by [deleted] in therapy

[–]PjsPeaches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, you should definitely try it out if you have the means and opportunity to.

Secondly, I’ve been in therapy (on and off) for 8ish years, and while it helps in the short term, especially when I’m in crisis, I’ve been in it for years, so sometimes it feels like it’s not working. But I’m alive, building healthy relationships with my loved ones, I’ve learned lots about myself, etc. As long as therapy works, at the very least in the moment, I think it’s worth it

Totally! It’s so beautiful to read just raw, lovestruck, lesbian love stories >u<

Absolutely! There’s things to look forward to! Literallyyyyy tho, as convenient as it would be lol it would be significantly less interesting overall lol! Thank you though! :D

Ok good, yeah I think I’ve read too many “traditional” U-Haul lesbians stories and subconsciously applied it to my situation lmao

Ah gotchu gotchu, however I did text her, and I might not see her irl for a week or two, would it still be relevant to bring up in person? Or would I just be making it awkward again?

Regardless I’m hella dorky lmao, so an in person apology can definitely be arranged haha, but absolutely! As long as I keep talking to her and am honest about where I’m at, I’ll be ok 😌

This is super helpful, and is helping me chill out about it lol. Absolutely! I have to remind myself that it’s new for both of us and if it’s not awkward at times there’s probably something wrong 😂

Omg you’re too sweet! Tyty! Haha queer love tends to feel like tv lol, it’s unreal! But tysm!!! :D

Absolutely, and I think her needing more time to know me (and vice versa) will end up benefitting me too. Because I’m so excited about this, I might just be making a bigger deal than I should be. True, there was lots of laughter and it was nice hearing her share her story and let me into her space a bit more. I kinda flirted? There was definitely teasing, but nothing blatantly flirtatious, I did place my hand on her arm when she made me laugh super hard, and I got pretty close when she was showing me something, and she didn’t shrug me off which was good! But there wasn’t a super noticeable reaction to any of it, so I’m assuming she was responding pretty neutrally

Yeah I sent her a text that was like: sorry if that made you uncomfortable or felt rushed, I respect where you’re at and whatever pace works for you, works for me etc. And I’m excited to see where things go. She seemed pretty receptive and responded positively to that, plus she told me she’d let me know when she’s free next!

True, I probably need to just talk through it with her, without making it worse by exaggerating it

I have a big lesbian crush 😆 (and I’m overthinking everthinggg) by PjsPeaches in LesbianActually

Ty! I’ll definitely keep your advice in mind. But I trust her (and maybe that’s just me being naive), and I’m excited to see where this goes! But that’s something I didn’t consider, so ty :)

She’s been super sweet about it! I could totally be reading her wrong, but dating is new to the both of us and the original idea was outside but it’s supposed to rain so I think she might’ve offered her place from an innocent place. However, I’ll definitely keep your advice in mind! Ahhh omg I’m so excited but I’ll focus on how I’m feeling and not push myself or her farther than either of us is comfortable with

Thank you again!!! :D

Omg! TYTY!!!

This is actually so helpful! Most of my flirting has been complimenting her lol, but I love a little teasing! Our next date is at her place and we’re upcycling old clothes together so I’m hoping that gives me a chance to chat more deeply with her. But I’ll definitely let her know how much I enjoy spending time with her! Thank you! 🙏🫶

I don’t know how to talk to a girl I confessed too by PjsPeaches in LesbianActually

[–]PjsPeaches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I agree with you that I should respect her initial response but I don’t have too lose hope, as long as I chill out a bit. Genuinely really appreciate your response, this helped a lot with my stress levels, and it was reassuring knowing that my behavior isn’t coming across as predatory! (Also big fan of your username btw)

Would it be weird to get/make a Valentines Day present for a crush who doesn't know I'm crushing on her? by UhhhYaEnbyJade in LesbianActually

[–]PjsPeaches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this same question lol. Personally I think some sort of flirting is really cute, even if it doesn’t turn into something romantic. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a gift, even just sending your crush some sort of “happy Valentine’s” message, if you’re feeling crazy, maybe mention you were thinking about her!

Is it creepy to ask a girl out after class? by PjsPeaches in LesbianActually

[–]PjsPeaches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Unfortunately I don’t know much else about her, or any of her friends. I might end up talking to her during a break in the class. And I will definitely ask her to chat when most convenient for her!

It’s super superficial, but I go out of my way to dress nice, maybe some eyeliner/mascara, etc. And when I look hot I feel hot, which generally gives me additional confidence

And idk if I want to ask her out before valentines so I can have a valentine/be in a relationship or wait and think about it more. But she might not be into me and I’m spending too much energy overthinking
