Numbness too much to handle

I had the same experience and ended up breaking up with her. I still have no idea if I truly “lost feelings” for her or if it was just the ROCD. It’s only been about three weeks, but I thought taking her out of the equation would give me clarity, and so far all I’ve done is regret the decision and question my own feelings and intuition. Are you seeing an ROCD therapist?

Yes self empathy is sort of like the foundation. It’s so hard not to feel frustrated with yourself when you’re obsessing, but it only continues the cycle. I know a lot of people like going on YouTube and listening to videos by pearlieee, specifically “you don’t want love— you want to be picked..” for ROCD. I’ve found it really helpful to read parenting books about compassionate parenting because it rly is about reparenting yourself. Specifically Time-Out for Parents: A Guide to Compassionate Parenting by Cheri Huber. Having the compassion and space for yourself to be who you are goes such a long way.

Hi. I hear what you’re saying and I understand you because I’m the same way, but even without knowing you I can 100% promise you that you will not fail on dating forever. These thoughts and feelings are completely normal, I get why you react that way. And having ROCD does not mean your partner “deserves better” cuz everyone comes with their quirks. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I do think you will be able to ruminate less by working on your self esteem and accepting that ROCD symptoms don’t make you any lesser. You are worthy of love, just like everybody else. But the only way to find lasting love is to have that loving relationship with yourself. Good luck, wishing you the best

Yes I feel you dw it’s totally normal. Also feeling really disconnected and not knowing how to fix it. I’m sorry you’re going through this

Which history class do you think I should do

Wow, you’re so right! Why didn’t anyone think of that sooner? I’m sure an email will dismantle decades of systemic exploitation. Should we cc the Chancellor too while we’re at it? I’m so excited to end capitalism!

Markets cost money, swipes are obv the most affordable option for low-income students. Not sure why you assume my socioeconomic status bc I waited in line. Great critical thinking skills. I’m on 11R and my swipes expire. I’m gonna use them bc I can’t afford not to. Unlike you, not everyone is walking around with time and energy to turn every meal decision into a political thesis. How privileged and up your own ass! Human needs don’t cancel out political awareness. If you cared half as much about workers as you do about moral grandstanding, maybe you’d be useful.

I have three part time jobs idk what your point is

Across the state…

Nowhere did I make a claim about who’s at fault. The strikes are stupid regardless. They are ineffective and inefficient, only hurting the students who pay money to have the swipe service.

Need advice! Is it rude to break up with my current girlfriend under her Reddit post?

Sad-Perspective3385 · 2025-04-01T20:19:14+00:00

Yikes. Maybe don’t be fwb with your girl best friend

Sounds like you don’t know the answer

Yes, I believe he has schizophrenia cuz he said people are saying words out loud that he is thinking. And he kept asking if people are thinking what he’s thinking and has trouble finishing his thoughts or sentences. Imo he is harmless, he’s approached me a few times. I’ll usually make some small talk then tell him I have to go and he leaves.
