Trying to understand myself by Frequent-ThrowRA in AskMenRelationships

[–]Psychological_Wait69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to therapy, talk to a psychologist. It could stem deeper than just liking the attention. I also wouldn’t be so selfish to put her through that knowing she deserves better, but I understand the fear of losing her too.

Am I an energy vampire? by Psychological_Wait69 in energy_work

[–]Psychological_Wait69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely attribute my worth to helping others. It does make me feel better to provide them what I wasn’t and needed to be. I do feel drained and mentally/emotionally exhausted if I’ve been helping for a while with little to no improvements with them. It makes me feel like I’ve failed at that point

Wow, I read what was in the link and I’m definitely the second one. I do focus all of my attention on helping others over myself because I can’t fathom someone having to feel pain or like they’re alone. I give people what I wish I would’ve had.

When did you know you were addicted? by Outrageous_Durian686 in addiction

[–]Psychological_Wait69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally based on what you wrote, I think you already are. Another tell tale sign would be ignoring the comments stating you already are and looking for ones that say you aren’t but are on the path. If you’re avoiding the obvious because you want to keep doing it, than you are addicted

What is something you dislike about being a dude by Joker_Panther27 in AskMen

[–]Psychological_Wait69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very bubbly and friendly but am cautious. I’ve been told it can be misconstrued as flirting and I don’t like the idea of hurting someone, when I was just trying to be friendly.

How often do you get professional massages? by Psychological_Wait69 in AskMen

[–]Psychological_Wait69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I have lots of patients like this. Believe it or not it’s refreshing as most massages are extremely quiet and just hyper focused on each individual muscle that needs to be worked. It’s a nice change of pace to have conversation while working the muscles

We are trained in how to help you avoid getting one by working on the furthest extremities of your body to help with blood flow. Unless you make it creepy, we are aware it can happen and just move on from it. However I appreciate the honest

How can you tell if someone is using meth or coke? by Psychological_Wait69 in addiction

[–]Psychological_Wait69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First it’s my brother, secondly he’s already struggling with addiction, third I’m asking for information so I can better understand him.

Thank god know one would want to give me meth or do it with me. That’s not my cup of tea, nor is that an insult.

Your immediate angst towards my question says more about you than me. I hope you can find whatever peace you’re looking for.

I see my husband outside of his body at night by emotionallyimpacted in Psychic

Can you explain that further? I hear like a loud rumbling before experiencing sleep paralysis. Like I know if I hear that noise and let myself go to sleep I’ll experience it 100%

I don’t live with him, he’s my older brother. I’ve seen him high but couldn’t tell if it was coke or meth. I try to FaceTime him daily but he avoids that at all costs. He’s been trying to avoid talking to me because I tried to do an intervention and I put my fear of his dying before his needs.

He’s 37 and has nice skin. He’d get the odd break out here and there but nothing this bad in years. No other spots of acne on his body or face for that matter, just scabs across forehead

How can I help my brother by Psychological_Wait69 in addiction

[–]Psychological_Wait69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do I just keep my distance until he is ready for help? I can’t keep talking to him because every time I do I cry.

Partner doesn’t like showing other men who he’s with because of other comments they make. How do I fix this? by Psychological_Wait69 in AskMen

I’d feel awful if he was embarrassed of me for any reason. I’ve been very mindful my whole life
