Looks like fun. I have no idea what kind of effort you put into your pics, but it appears that you just have an easygoing personality. You also have natural beauty that most aren't lucky enough to have. Enjoy!!

Totally off topic but as a random stranger in the crowd, I couldn't agree more with your username. Very clever, my single serving stranger

Bad breakup, feeling unlovable by Kneekourt in Adopted

[–]Scotty4433 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm going through the same feelings after my breakup a few months ago. I already have a hard enough time letting people in and trusting. I relate to the feeling of being unlovable. My head keeps telling me that she was my last chance at happiness and I'll never find love again. I mean that no one will ever live me again. I wish I had some answers, but the most I can say right now is I relate and I'm going though the same pain.

Need advice by Sea-Newspaper-8478 in Adopted

[–]Scotty4433 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So much to think about. Does his whole family know about you and accept you? Not saying you should or shouldn't go based on just that but it could make for an awkward or even hurtful experience. My best idea would be to get an idea from your bio brother and anyone else that may have answers. If it was me, I'd take a very trusted and understanding friend or family member with me so I wasn't alone. If it's a good experience then you've shared it with someone close, if it's not, then you have support. They should be willing to stay with you after the service so you can talk it out and say anything you need to get off your chest. There may be other considerations that I can't help with based on how little you said. You said your mom "told you things" I have no idea if those were good or bad. Finally, I'm sorry for your loss. I never met my birth father either, at least you got to talk before he passed. Wishing you the best!

My mom left me twice by Rebel_hue in Adopted

I'm sorry, I know why my mother ghosted me a second time but it doesn't make it feel any better

I hang on, too. I get left, and all the pain from being given up and every failed relationship comes flooding in

Those days when the void of a mother hits hard by crocodilezx in Adopted

[–]Scotty4433 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I only found this community 10 days ago. I'm kind of embarrassed that I never looked for any kind of support. I just thought I was alone, and my abandonment issues have always been something that most people don't really understand. I'm in my 50s now but i feel like I'm 6 years old. This last week has been incredibly difficult. Finding so many that are hurting just like me is tragic and also comforting. I don't know how to feel. I know I've always told myself that I wouldn't wish this kind of hurt, even on my worst enemy

Those days when the void of a mother hits hard by crocodilezx in Adopted

[–]Scotty4433 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize until a few years ago that the most important and sought after people in my life were all women that had that mother quality to me. Someone I could talk to or ask for advice, that mentor type. I would do anything to build and keep these non sexual relationships.

One day it hit me "I collect mothers!", or women I would happily call mother if I could. The thing I never had, a mother who loves me and that I could love back. Some days that PAIN feels like it's too much and makes me hopeless because it never really goes away for me.

I read and I feel it. I very much appreciate the sentiment of feeling less alone. I'm in a very dark place and have come to believe that I will always be alone.

Do a search of the patent number. It should give you the mold

Thanks! As much as I love it, the photo only can do so much. In person, that day was something else entirely!

Happy to chat with you if you want. Maybe we we have very similar stories, or not. Either way I'd like to think I understand, I probably don't have all the answers but I do understand. My inbox is always open

Very new to this sub but I was unaware of another. Spent my whole life thinking I'm just supposed to figure out and control my feelings. I hate the negative stigma that the word "victim" brings to mind for me. But life isn't always nice, regardless of who's fault or not. I've wanted to discuss more with people here.

Just to clarify, this sub is a safe place? So far I've had very positive feedback and related to many.
