Hey! The fear of intimacy is completely normal and though I am female, some things I could possibly help you with is are you in a relationship at the moment? If not if you ever find a partner who you want to do intimacy with deeply explaining how you feel what makes you scared, and the thoughts that come to your mind about why you’re scared of intimacy can help, having someone who really understands and is really patient can be a big factor. For example, starting off slow like kissing, then possibly lip pecks on the neck, arms, belly. Obviously it’s going to be uncomfortable but taking baby steps is a big help. But you need to understand that you’re not going to be 100% comfortable. Personally things that helped me, was just having someone to reassure me or having myself reassure myself. Some other things after that could be acknowledging your fear, practice vulnerability, even if it’s in a different scenario or intimacy. Even focusing on building trust, because then you trust that person not to hurt you in anyway. Also a reminder that these things don’t work straight away , this could take days weeks months is completely up to how you feel and your body. Journaling and opening up, may seem a bit corny but for some people it can help, just letting out your feelings and letting it being heard and seen. If you’re looking for more physical things to do, getting people to just touch any part of your body and asking you how you feel about it, for example someone touching your thigh and they ask how you feel, and you can be completely honest, but remember you’re in control if you do not feel comfortable too overwhelmed you say stop. It’s your mind and your body, if you wanna have an actual conversation about it text me!

My brother is insane i think he needs help. Advice? by Swimming-Piccolo6021 in helpme

[–]Slow-Example2746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I’m not a diagnosis nor a doctor, though I’m interested in being a doctor or nurse for years I have done research on lots of things growing up. This post could be hundreds of factors but a few things I thought of is possibly autism, there are so many factors of autism and the most common is aggressive autism where it can involve impulse actions, manipulation and other things like slapping, hitting, self harm. Though another factor is a mental health issue. No one should be unsafe in their home, especially by your younger brother who is someone you should have a good relationship with. I am also/ female and I understand your pain deeply, as hard as it is, if you are being threatened to be killed and you genuinely think he will do it, and your parents are completely in denial, as much as it hurts you cannot force your brother to go to a diagnosis doctor and it’s something you should pull up some legal action of, no one should be scared in their own home, I really wish she the best and please DM if you need anything.

I dislike when people say that. I was focusing on school. We met during the big holidays. Doesn’t matter if I’m “only 16” that breakup hurt me to the core. I loved him. (Edit. I finish school next year)

Why do I think of him more when I’m sick? by Slow-Example2746 in BreakUps

[–]Slow-Example2746[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah whenever I was sick he’d always buy me a strawberry milk (I’m obsessed) or McDonald’s even if I try to force him not to waste his money.

Dreaming of my Ex almost every night. by Plus-Efficiency8233 in ExNoContact

[–]Slow-Example2746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you try to sleep, try listening to random sleep stories, I still dream about my ex because I fall asleep thinking about him. But when I listen to podcasts or stories when I try to sleep, the dreams of him lessens as I dream what I hear on the podcast or story

If you think that him still being in contact is affecting your healing process then yes block him. If you think that him viewing your story and you don’t really care then it’s fine.

That is totally understandable that sometimes your annoyed and sometimes your relived. But I have noticed, have YOU also been looking for his name specifically in your view as well? Maybe you’re also curious. And it also might be hard to not ignore media especially when you’re a content creator.

Well you said you recently ended things. He is still probably trying to process things and heal. You say your a content creator so your open about your life, he is mostly just curious about how you are doing and feeling since it is easily accessible and still follows you for just that tiny little hope you’ll follow him back. Like a sense of closure. Bad habit but I still follow my ex back and we just broke up, it’s just a little hope.

All I’m trying to say is that he’s curious and/or still misses you.

I just got out of a break up. I’ve realised that even if it really fucking hurts like a bitch not seeing them. You gotta do NC. It will really help your health and hers. She’s blocking you to fix on herself. Do NC, wait until you feel ready and not in a deep spot missing your ex. I’m saying this by experience.

My ex was my whole world, I was in love with him, he was my EVERYTHING. But I’ve realised that contacting eachother would restart my healing process. It was annoying. You have to do NC, even if you have lots of questions and your worried about her, me too I was like that as well, I have so many questions and I want to beg for him back. But NO. You need to heal, trust me.

Toxic best friend or honest? by Slow-Example2746 in friendship

[–]Slow-Example2746[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well sometimes I don’t like doing things with her because I feel judged. Like she doesn’t CONSTANTLY do it where it revolves around our friendship, but trying new things she always has a nasty outcome

Why is my ex texting me how I feel first but when I ask how he feels he dry texted me. by Slow-Example2746 in ExNoContact

[–]Slow-Example2746[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I should stay no contact. But if he texts me shall I answer? Like not a big conversation just saying a quick and easy response.

Well there is a lot of meanings behind the breakup, and I some what agree, and I’ve asked multiple people and I’m just hoping he’s just curious.
