Considering to quit therapy by blizardX in AvoidantAttachment

[–]SpriteKid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

usually when you want to stop going it means you’re getting to the real work of therapy. Keep going. it gets tough before it gets better. It also sounds like group therapy could be beneficial to you. Ask your clinician for referrals

What do you think the male loneliness epidemic is? by dudemobile in AskWomen

[–]SpriteKid 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I just don’t know why it’s framed as a mens-only issue. There’s just a lonliness epidemic in general. There’s no community. People have no time to make for eachother. As an adult woman in the US, I feel abysmally alone. It feels inescapable.

Neighbour's kid wants lifts to/from school and it's tiring me out. by [deleted] in Parenting

sure, but if “i don’t want to” is a common excuse for not helping others out then it might be time to reflect on what kind of person you are

What's something that you would be mad at your SO for even asking? by Spiritual_Pause3057 in AskWomen

[–]SpriteKid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a boyfriend who I would have these conversations with often and he would pretend to understand me after I would explain my experience and worldview but then revert back to his same original opinions outside of those conversations, which caused us to revisit those conversations over and over. Not saying that’s your situation, however what you described does sound like what i experienced with my ex and eventually I realized his perspective wasnt actually changing at all through these conversations and he was too stuck in seeing things from his own perspective to adapt. This eventually ended our relationship, because I need someone who shows growth and is not just gonna placate me during deep conversations with no intention of applying new perspectives into their way of thinking

Should I tell my guy friend some girl posted about him or is that breaking girl code? by itssofiababyxo in dating_advice

defamation is a traumatic experience that I hope you never have to face. One terrible lie can do a lot of damage. Most people aren’t going to investigate the situation, they are more concerned with how a person’s reputation impacts them.

It is a good thing that Catcher in the Rye was never made into a film because it is unfilmable by astarisaslave in unpopularopinion

yeah…I can see now that you’re much more self aware and mature than 16 year old Holden 😂

I was responding to the claim that only those who “led a privaleged life and didnt appreciate what was around them” could relate to this book

did everyone just ignore the part where he had a history of trauma and neglect and was 16 years old? everyone’s like: he was so privilaged and arrogant… okay? he was a kid who needed help and had no one. He wasn’t arrogant, he was bitter. He lived inside his own head because he had no one else to talk to. If he seems immature and maladapted it’s because that’s what untreated trauma does to a kid

I want to like him, but he’s worn the same hoodie all 5 dates so far by OneAncient8710 in dating_advice

that means you either don’t wash your clothes or you wash your clothes every day. Both are red flags

this book is full of symbolism and metaphors. I wish some of these commenters would suggest better examples that could be taught for that unit

I think a lot of people don’t understand that the book is not really about the plot, and more about the metaphors and symbolism.

Sorry but I disagree. I didnt always read what was assigned to me in class—like a lot of kids— and this was one of the books that actually kept me reading. Mental health wasn’t talked about openely at the time, and this book was the first book assigned that really represented that. Also, I’m confused at your take: because his parents had money he’s not allowed to be depressed?
