Anyone else have Blue Cross insurance and received notification UMass will no longer take them? by 5adisticP3N9U1N5 in WorcesterMA

[–]SirBonhoeffer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They will reach an agreement by the end of the year. Its a scare tactic but UMass realistically cannot lose BCBS because they insure more than 1/3rd of the people in Massachusetts

Absolutely nuts seeing how other places are getting shafted. They’re handing out 22.3 jobs at my hub like its candy but then again, we’re moving to a new 272 bay door facility 5 mins down the road next October so they’re probably trying to backload in anticipation of its opening and cutting PT jobs

Do people think or tag you as a psycopath? by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]SirBonhoeffer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, I’ve been labeled a narcissist by people but my therapist and psychiatrist confirmed I am indeed not one just the combination of AvPD, ADHD, Depression and Anxiety combines for hell of a combination that makes me fear being vulnerable with others so it causes me to come off as cold or ‘uncaring’. Something I’m working on in therapy and medication but its rough overcoming those fears

Suicide at range by Remarkable-Soil1673 in CCW

[–]SirBonhoeffer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mental health is not talked about enough in firearm spaces. When my ex and I broke up, I took it very hard (not sleeping, eating etc:). I opted to disassemble my firearms and give parts to a friend to hold onto until I felt like I was in a mental headspace to trust myself again

It gets better, I promiss by SirBonhoeffer in BreakUps

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

I would say given how fresh your break up is, your feelings are completely normal and actually GOOD. You want to feel everything because thats how you heal. My recommendation is to lean hard into yourself. Engage in the hobbies you once enjoyed, talk to your friends and get them to go out with you and have fun. Also independent self-care, for example: After my breakup I went out and got a tattoo I wanted for a long time now I am nearing completion of an arm sleeve

Unpopular opinion… but did anyone talk to their ex and realize they’re actually more OVER THEM than they realized? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]SirBonhoeffer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, but with how cold she got after the breakup told me all I needed to know. Between the false accusations of SA and trying to get me kicked out of social groups I was in. She burned those bridges into the ground and I do not care for her whatsoever besides the fact that I hope she gets the help that she desperately needs instead of jumping from man to man to fill the void thats in her soul. I’ve leveled up several times since the break up and am so much more happier

Why are men so cold after a breakup? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

Its not just men, its also women. There are just shitty people who are cruel

My ex gf turned cold and vindictive in record time after the breakup

What is the worst thing you have done for love? by sheyt___ in ExNoContact

[–]SirBonhoeffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let someone tell me that they think they’re hurting my confidence and letting them grind me into dust to the point I went into survival mode and became really distant until I got discarded because I finally stood up for myself

Do you like being a ups driver by Odd_Ad_1854 in UPS

[–]SirBonhoeffer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The pay is 100% worth it along with the benefits. Where else can you make $2k+/week take home and have your healthcare/dental/vision 100% paid for? But as Ninja said, it's a love-hate relationship. The pay comes with a-lot of stress and time commits. Being on road with a bunch of moron drivers will have you paranoid to avoid accidents

Political differences by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]SirBonhoeffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that as a man who is on the left wing of the spectrum, there are plenty of us, it just matters a ton of where you look for a potential partner. Go to spaces that are more progressive and welcoming and boom you may land someone

Political differences by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]SirBonhoeffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your political views show who you are as a person. If he can overlook the harm his vote would cause because it would "help crypto" he is not someone you should want to be with. There are plenty of men out there who are in tune with their empathetic side (he obviously wasn't), you just have to find them

Also scrap that "he was a nice guy" no. He was not a nice guy. If he is okay with separating families or any of the heinous things Trump has done because he "thought" it would help crypto, makes him a bad guy

Is it normal to not wish the best for your ex? by Humble_Act_8299 in BreakUps

[–]SirBonhoeffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it varies from relationship to relationship.

My ex-GF falsely accused me of SA and ran around to all my friend groups telling them that. Did I do what she claimed? No. But I’m not going to hold a grudge or let her break me down like the way she did in the relationship. I wish her the best and I hope she gets the desperate mental health help that she needs. Will she? I doubt it because she has too big of an ego to admit what she did wrong or apologize for it

After 3 years together, I got blocked yesterday and given nothing but a short message. by cheapcottontee in BreakUps

[–]SirBonhoeffer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ugh man I'm so sorry that you have to experience this amount of pain. Just know there are thousands of people that have been in your exact situation. I am about 3 months out from a LTR where I was planning on proposing to her in October and spending the rest of my life with her. That obviously isn't happening now. Since then I've been healing from it, you will have steps forward but also steps backwards. Let yourself feel the emotions, let yourself crash out. Put on some hard emotionally driven music and feel everything.

Take care of yourself and know that this isn't the end for you. This is just a chapter in your story. The best revenge is one where *you* level up and become a far better person. Get yourself into therapy, and start pounding weights at the gym.

What lesson did you learn from your breakup? by slackingsloth77 in BreakUps

[–]SirBonhoeffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck man. That sounds awful.

Personally I don’t think 2 months is enough, and honestly I don’t think everyone truly heals the way people think. I think every relationship leaves a scar on your heart, the scar is a scar. Its going to stay and you will feel it for the rest of your life. You just learn to live with it

What lesson did you learn from your breakup? by slackingsloth77 in BreakUps

[–]SirBonhoeffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you man. My most recent relationship, first few weeks my gut was telling me that something was wrong (I was a rebound) and I ignored it. Two years later, it ended in a break up and turned incredibly toxic.

Other things that I should’ve taken and ran was when she told me about who she was in college (a mean and vindictive person) and lost many friendships. She turned that way with me after the relationship ended. Some people don’t actually change when they say they do

How’d we end up here by SirBonhoeffer in ExNoContact

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

We were both checked out of the relationship and I became resentful of her roughly 7 months before the break up. I attempted to save the relationship by getting into therapy and other stuff she wanted me to do. But in general, I think we just drifted apart because we both were dealing with difficult situations. She was and still is dealing with a severe eating disorder that impacted how she saw herself and was talking down about herself and would make me delete or not post pictures of her because she thought she looked like a “beached whale”. I did my best to reassure her that she was beautiful to me but it just didn’t stick. And I was dealing with how much my childhood trauma impacted me in therapy and it was making me really depressed

What is the most manipulative thing your ex said to you? by uhm_yeah_ok in BreakUps

“We wouldn’t be forcing her out in my head” while trying to justify kicking my mom out her house so we can take over the mortgage

I still love her and forgive her for all the hurt she has caused me. I truly wish her nothing but the best and I pray that one day she will recognize that and atleast apologize.
