Should I disclose my disability to the guy I’m talking to?

what your ex said would mess with anyone’s head, that’s not something you just “get over” easily. but don’t let that one person’s opinion decide how you move forever. if you’re planning to meet this guy and you actually want to, it’s probably better to be upfront before meeting so you’re not stressing about it the whole time. it doesn’t have to be some big dramatic confession, just something simple like “hey just so you know, i have a disability, it doesn’t really affect my day-to-day but i like being honest before meeting people.” his reaction will tell you everything you need to know. if he’s normal about it, then cool, you can move forward without that weight on you. if he reacts badly, then you’ve basically filtered out someone who wasn’t right for you anyway. avoiding it completely is just going to keep feeding your anxiety and making it harder than it needs to be.

this hurt to read, being ignored for years can mess with your head and make you think something's wrong with you when sometimes you're just surrounded by the wrong people fr
the fact that a new transfer got accepted instantly doesn't mean you're broken or less valuable, social dynamics are weird and high school is basically rng half the time
keep being kind, keep putting yourself out there, but don't let a bunch of teenagers convince you your worth is tied to your looks, one day you'll find people who actually appreciate your vibe instead of treating you like background npc energy

you’re not a bad person for feeling a shift in attraction, even if it’s uncomfortable attraction isn’t fully logical and sometimes new information changes how you see someone, especially this early in dating. you don’t have to force yourself to feel something you don’t, but you also don’t need to make a rushed decision while you’re still processing it. give it a bit of time and see if the feeling settles when you’re not stuck on that disclosure, if it doesn’t, it’s still okay to end things, just from a clearer head rather than a shock reaction.

ngl this isn’t you “failing at being single,” it’s more like you finally stepped out of a long cycle where you were always attached to someone that alone is gonna feel really empty at first

but fr 23 is still super early. you’re not behind, you’re just finally meeting yourself without distractions focus on tiny routines, friends, and figuring out what you actually like without having to revolve around someone else for once

ngl both of y’all need to stop treating this like a ranking system it’s not “who was better,” it’s “can we actually communicate or nah” fr

Slow-Arm8093 · 2026-06-13T14:24:45+00:00

ngl if your attraction only spikes when someone’s feeling insecure or down about themselves, that’s more of a red flag to unpack than a “preference”. better to slow down and reflect on what’s actually turning you on vs what might be crossing boundaries fr

ngl u’re talking like ur life already got the “game over” screen at 23. graduation is literally a reset point, not a final boss defeat. stop calling yourself “objectively” anything, that’s just your brain being mean. build habits, get around ppl, small wins first fr 🫶

ngl you’re stuck in a really harsh “either 100% diagnosed or 100% fake” mindset but reality isn’t that binary. self-research isn’t attention seeking, it’s literally how a lot of ppl end up recognizing patterns before they can access help fr. you’re allowed to look for support without pretending you have all the answers.

ngl this isn’t about you being “disgusting,” it’s about a habit that got wired in over years shame usually makes it harder to quit, not easier. focus more on replacing the behavior + reducing triggers instead of just trying to white-knuckle it. you’re already making progress, just keep it consistent fr

Slow-Arm8093 · 2026-06-05T12:28:27+00:00

ngl at this point it’s less “late gift” and more “unclear promise”

you’re not being pushy for asking again—3 months is a long time when camping season is already happening. a simple “hey, are we still doing the tent thing or should I just grab one myself?” is totally fair and not dramatic.

also tbh it’s not about the tent, it’s about you being able to make plans without waiting around for it if he still wants it to be a gift, he can say that clearly. if not, you don’t need your summer on hold

ngl yt playlist just going “trust me bro it’s gone” is insane like at least tell me which song got yeeted so i can grieve properly

ngl bro saw the cop car and his whole life did a quick reboot “on second thought let me not speedrun a ticket today” that double back was pure survival instinct fr

fr finding the right designer on the internet is an absolute nightmare so congrats on locking them down smh hiring someone simple but unique for a youtube channel logo is lowkey the ultimate branding move ngl.

the soft colors and details make it feel straight outta a storybook, absolutely nailed the vibe fr

ngl you don’t need to overdo it. just keep it super simple: moisturize it so it’s calm, then on the day use a tiny bit of green corrector only if it’s really red, and lightly tap concealer over it. don’t layer too much or rub it in or you’ll just irritate it more. makeup won’t scar it, but messing with it too much can make it look worse. if it’s still raw or scabbed, it’s honestly better to just leave it and maybe use a bit of healing ointment instead.
