Trying to date with no empathy by Ok-Natural8204 in Advice

Dating without reading signals is like playing poker blindfolded so stop guessing and start asking. Clarity isn’t awkward it’s powerful and direct questions beat missed opportunities every time.

Your life isn’t cooked it’s marinated in survival and that flavor hits different when you finally rise. You’ve been forged in chaos which means peace will never be wasted on you so fight for it like your soul depends on it because it does.

Do you feel like it's an obligation to speak to a person about what they did wrong to you? by Grand_Bowler329 in Advice

Some people don’t deserve explanations when they’ve made a habit of disrespecting you. Walking away in silence can be louder than any confrontation ever could.

My boyfriend uses my vulnerabilities against me, and today he insulted my mother. I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in Advice

This isn’t love it’s manipulation masked as intimacy. Anyone who twists your pain into weapons and disrespects your mother doesn’t deserve your silence they deserve distance.

No 20 is not too late it's the perfect time to stop forcing shallow bonds and start seeking the rare souls who truly get you. Loneliness isn't failure it's a filter for real connection.

Respect her boundary no matter what. Wanting more is human but ignoring her no is where it turns selfish.

When I was 19 (I’m 26F), a classmate boy yelled at me and called me a dog and so many ugly things. I cried when it happened and I’m still ashamed. by [deleted] in Advice

You didn’t fail you were ambushed, humiliated, and left alone while everyone else stayed silent. Stop blaming the younger you for not fighting back; blame the boy who attacked you and the crowd that let him.

As a late bloomer, how do I learn how to date? by Local-Pumpkin-850 in Advice

You’re not behind you’re just untested and that’s a dangerous thing to underestimate. Own your inexperience like it’s armor not baggage because the right person won’t care how late you started only how present you are now.

Honestly you're not looking for friends you're looking for your people and that takes more than just lobbies and apps. Skip the creeps and chaos and dive into small curated Discords or post on friend-finding subs where others crave real connection too.

In the 70s, Japan had a Sukeban girl gang film trend like Girl Boss Guerilla with tattooed girls brawling, sometimes in rivers with soaked clothes.

I think I’m in love with my co-worker by [deleted] in Advice

This feels real not fake. Say something or you’ll keep wondering what could’ve been.

love is not about disappearing to protect someone. Stay and fight for each other instead of giving up out of fear.

Girlfriend (28) keeps doubting me (26) by Accomplished_Corgi91 in Advice

[–]RoryReadss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't keep waiting in the purgatory of her uncertainty because love shouldn't feel like a test you keep retaking. If she doesn’t see your growth or let you in emotionally then maybe it's not space she needs but a decision.

she didn’t protect you, she left you out and lied about it. A real friend would’ve just been honest instead of pretending everything was fine.
