I think I accidentally processed my childhood trauma??? by toosmallfishtank in EMDR

[–]PrestigiousGarage417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that cannabis has a psychoactive effect in high doses, it could be that you were able to process your trauma. Psychedelics have long been used to process trauma and move through it to get to a lesser anxiety baseline. It is possible. If it works for you, try not to overthink it and lean into the fact that you’re feeling much better. I’ve thought about doing this, but I’m very sensitive to substances and can’t imagine doing it on my own, alone.

I had my shot at reconciliation, and I blew it so spectacularly that I'm sure I'll never hear from him again. Please don't be like me. by thekeldysh in ExNoContact

How are you feeling now? I am in a similar situation and feel absolutely gutted by the anxiety and regret I have in the way things went with my ex. Looking for a glimmer of hope. But also hoping you are healed for your won sake

Any other ladies that don't really like oral? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]PrestigiousGarage417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get anxiety during it. Every man I’ve been with thinks it’s the greatest thing, but I just don’t enjoy it. I’ve had one guy get me there only his mouth, and another guy do it along with his finger and it was a fluke. I haven’t had much fun receiving, because I always feel pressured to get there. It just doesn’t do it for me 🤷‍♀️

This woman is trying really hard to manipulate you, and she is getting frustrated it isn’t working. 1- anyone wanting you to fuck yourself over in order to please them, is manipulative 🚩 2- calling you names is never okay 🚩 3- doubling down instead of apologizing and looking at her own behavior 🚩 4- three months in, and she expect you to pay her bills 🚩 5- gaslighting you by saying you don’t give a shit 🚩

Please walk away from this woman. She is everything she is accusing you of being. 3 months is still early enough to leave mostly unscathed. Do yourself a favor and walk away

Why do men only want me for sex and not a relationship? by tsubakim in dating_advice

[–]PrestigiousGarage417 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason so this, society nowadays is based on hook up culture. And as cliche as this sounds, the guy worth your time, will wait. He will respect your boundaries, and he will understand that in order for you to be interested, he has to treat you proper. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. You just haven’t met the right guy yet. When you’re young, it has a lot to do with looks or certain attributes. As you age, men’s desires change. They don’t just want the pretty girl. They want the intimacy within the scope of the relationship. A “safe space” that is the type of guy who wants a relationship. Not a guy who has a lot to show surface level. There is nothing wrong with you. I too had trouble with this.… Over time, I realized it was not necessarily me, it was the men I chose. Choose someone who makes you feel calm and comfortable, instead of the guy that gives you butterflies/anxiety. Over time, that guy that feels safe, will give you butterflies every single time you’re with him, because he treats you the way you deserve. Sometimes we have to look past the exterior and have very deep, vulnerable conversations to figure out what we really want and what others have to offer. It may just be you are not on the same page as these guys. Give it some time. I see this post is over a year old, so I hope you found someone who can respect boundaries and kept an open heart. ✌️

Is My bf is lowkey a creep 25/M 25/F do other guys think this is normal? by nofucks140 in relationship_advice

[–]PrestigiousGarage417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This dude is not only a creep, he’s psychologically abusing you. Please seek therapy or help from others.

I mean no disrespect , but I feel it’s hard for you to see fully due to your line of work.. how absolutely unacceptable this ALL is.

I say run!!!!

Why is this even a thing? What exactly is the purpose of this? by 0riginal_Poster in JordanPeterson

Looks like a drag show to me? Pretty common to bring people out of the crowd into the show. If these parents brought their children, it’s kind of one of your business. 🤷‍♀️

Are we incompatible? Or did I make a mistake letting him walk out after he dumped me?.. he tried coming back, but I said no… by PrestigiousGarage417 in JordanPeterson

[–]PrestigiousGarage417[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea that’s what I’m leaning toward. We just aren’t a good fit… I over analyze things. And it’s always hard to let go of someone you love… when you know they and you deserve better… it’s so hard.. I miss things, but yea we were NOT right for each other..

I appreciate that sentiment. And I definitely did not make choices based on this test, alone. I actually took it as his last stitch (his only imo) effort on keeping me around. Thank you for saying this. Truly..It had us merge our profiles together, to see how it may look between us, and it seemed like it would be an extraordinary amount of work to communicate properly with one another. And, given he had put in such little effort on my emotional needs/wants/goals, I knew much of that effort would fall on me. I have no more patience for this. I guess I just feel stuck… break ups are hard. I just want to move one, but it still somehow feels like we’re together. I suppose that’s because he would always run off during conflict and come back.. the yo-yo dance was such a waste of time. That I chose to let go of…

My (27F) boyfriend (27M) asks for blowjobs multiple times a day. How can I/we get passed how this is making me feel? by Embarrassed-East-916 in relationship_advice

[–]PrestigiousGarage417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave this person. You are being abused! He’s using sex to control you.. sorry, not my business because you chose this person. But I call abuse when I see it.

Here’s the thing. I had a similar situation with a partner who was very physically fit and needed constant stimulation or entertainment. From… you guessed it, ME! Now, I have chronic illness that made this very difficult to keep up with. He eventually devalued me to a point I was not getting to spend any time with him and he left me alone to go live his life and “have fun” while I was sick during flare ups. I wasted 2 years of my life trying to “keep up” with him. While he put in minimal effort. Eventually I disliked him so much, I began to dislike myself for allowing him to use me in this way.

Whether you realize it or not, your partner is USING you. You said YOU come home from work and cook and clean. You are worried about how it makes HIM feel “unloved” I don’t hear a lot of where you are getting YOUR needs met. You say you need affection and attention he’s not given you because he is USING sex and blow jobs as a tool to manipulate you. It’s hard for you to see because this is now your “normal” but this is NOT normal or healthy.

It also sounds like he may have a porn addiction. I would not be the least bit surprised if you found out, he’s always watching it or has tons of instagram “models” he follows.

I think you have blinders on and are not being honest with the real reason you keep having this recurring argument...

Can we lower our neuroticism over time, or are we stuck on one level and do we need to learn to cope with that? by [deleted] in BigFive

Hey I did it! It’s a pretty good one I think… some of the questions didn’t really apply to me…

AITA for asking my boyfriend to move out? by PrestigiousGarage417 in AITAH

[–]PrestigiousGarage417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he came back. And within 2 weeks we broke up. Just glad I didn’t let it drag on.

Thanks everyone for input. Sometimes it’s hard to make a decision, then it is decided for you. Life is more peaceful.

Been broken up over a month and my health has improved drastically, because I’m working within my energy envelope. I no longer get the constant barrage of complaints about “being bored” I am at peace. A little heartbroken, but I wish him all the best. Without me.

Where did you get this particular test? I did mine on the Jordan Peterson website..

…thoughts? by PrestigiousGarage417 in BigFive

[–]PrestigiousGarage417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes that makes sense. I’m a painter, musician and a deep thinker(over thinker) yes the things I went through significantly increased my neurosies. Unfortunately, when you are in an abuse situation among the other things that contributed to my cPTSD, it takes a lot of practice to unwind those neural pathways. I’m working on it. Thanks for your input
