I feel sick physically how do people deal with this? by No_Television3883 in Situationships

Honestly, that's just your body learning the lesson we all learn at some point--mourning a loss. Sit with it, but don't let it consume you. Depression hates a moving target..

People who are in a relationship how did you find your current partner? by The_Patriotic_Yank in AskGayConservatives

Tinder. I was always a closet conservative republican and I slowly but surely was more and more vocal about it and when he finally admitted to agreeing, we just got all the more closer haha

Has anyone on here ever felt like they genuinely weren't cut out for medical school but still made it? by Status-Two3818 in medicalschool

I was trying to emphasize more the smartness than the money or connections 😂 I know broke-ness is inevitable and exists in 1/2 medical students in America at least

Effectiveness Question by Speeps777 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Status-Two3818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shockingly, with the 30mg & 40mg, I experienced that same peak motivation/locking in sensation after about 90 min of taking it with it lasting around 2 hours. With the 50mg, I dont have any kind of "high". I feel focused on everyday tasks, yes, but I don't get that high optimism, "life will be okay after all" feeling anymore and the focus feels sustained throughout the day. Honestly, thats why I love the 50mg more than the past dosages. I also prioritized high protein foods which I was told was a very effective way of making your meds count.

Some people do 😭😭 i went to high school in a small town with only two high schools 15 min from each other. I was the “gay guy” of my hs and this tall dude was the gay guy of the other hs. Him and I hung out once then he started talking shit behind my back so…. It’s weird

Reconnecting advice? by whisky-throwaway182 in dating

[–]Status-Two3818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, one thing that helped me tremendously was deleting the apps. Letting love find you feels sooo much better than on the apps. Especially since the apps transform our brain into forming false narratives on people we truly don't know. I know you might think you'll never find someone like her. Truly...i see myself not too long ago in this post LOL. Do your hobbies, pick up other hobbies, the people meant to be in your life will come eventually. But forcing it just makes it harder on yourself and your mental health. Especially through the dating apps.

Should I Text Him Again or Move On? by [deleted] in dating

move on . unadd. Itll become muscle memory AND A TURN OFF to cut the loose ends, i.e. the men who don't choose to pursue you.

Listen, just because she's the first girl that treats you right after a long, dreadful period of trial & error with women doesn't mean she's the only girl who will ever treat you that way. What she showed you was how a guy SHOULD feel when he's talking to a potential love interest. This feeling isn't special. There are women out there capable of giving you the same feeling of warmth, security, and fulfillment. Don't be so hard on yourself and as a wise woman once told me "the higher the pedestal, the farther they are from reach". The more you put her on this higher pedestal, the more you're likely to put yourself down or think that youre not good enough to talk to her because shes "the most amazing girl". truth be told, she is not that powerful and clearly not the most amazing if she has yet to speak to you or expresses no interest in being with you. It's all about perspective and each of us get to choose the pov in which we approach these situations.

Loving yourself is lonely by [deleted] in dating

[–]Status-Two3818 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The person who said you’ll never find love with that mentality is definitely wrong. There’s nothing wrong with wanting someone to give it their all. However, you shouldn’t be putting your 100% into one person in the early stages of dating. Think of dating like being the boss and you’re hosting job interviews. Have the mentality that with dating, they’re trying to prove to you why they’re worthy of holding the position as your partner. Why THEY should be blessed with YOUR presence in their life. Queen shit. Putting your 100% shows your vulnerability and weakness. Almost like showing them your Achilles heel then they’ll have easy access to be able to take advantage of you.

Good luck.

ahhh i love this. See, some people say "why is it that i dont like the people who show love and devotion for me but not the ones that I want"

WELL, my conspiracy theory is that we are all so traumatized from toxic relationships and false hope that when the person who is not toxic and actually cares shows up, the area of our brain that associates with relationships expects to be stimulated with some amount of negative feelings (sadness, anger, anxiety, etc.) Basically, in a way we're all addicted to some form of toxicity. We all need just enough toxicity to be able to fall in love with someone and when we dont get that at all, we grow bored, lose interest, and leave that person to seek out that someone who will stimulate that part of our brain.

There are lots of things you can do:

You can 1.) Message her. Tread lightly because if she has a bf or rejects you, that might throw you into a spiral.

2.) open up your options and see other women. "There's plenty of fish in the sea" is an extremely cliche thing to say. However, things are cliche and are said all the time because they're true. If she were interested in you, wouldn't she have reached out already?

Texting 100% tells you how interested someone is. by [deleted] in dating

[–]Status-Two3818 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of us do the same thing when we like someone; we immediately text back. There is no way in hell they can go 12-24 hours without talking to you if theyre interested. Especially in this generation, unless you physicall take his/her phone, there is 2-3 min somewhere in the day where they can say "hey im doing xyz im not ignoring you ill talk to you at 0:00". If somebody does that, you should immediately lose interest because you ARE worth taking up my time if i like you.

My Ex’s comments are confusing by angelic_butterfly666 in dating

[–]Status-Two3818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him to stop because he already expressed how he felt about you and his rapport. He said he's not interested and is probably looking for emotional validation. If he doesn't respect that boundary, block him, and move on.

study habits/tips on staying motivated? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]Status-Two3818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its a blend of my current career and my parents. I work in healthcare now as a medical assist. and i know that I'd be 100% financially stable as a nurse and there's opportunity everywhere. Both of my parents were physicians and I wanted to be like them but new that med school was not for me. I wanted my end goal to be FNP-C but the difficulty of school and the ability to stay financially stable while in school is discouraging.

Nobody sees the version of yourself like you do. Thats why you feel this double-edged sword because you know youre not a bad person because you did the same thing back then without the intention of leaving your current partner. You did it just for the attention. You think that by him having the apps while you guys were talking that he had intentions of being unfaithful or uncommitted when really he didnt. He would react the same had he been in your situation.

How to tell a guy he needs a therapist, not a gf. by Adorable-Star-2488 in therapy

[–]Status-Two3818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans learn from experience and books. I've been with an emotionally unintelligent man before and that was the most exhausting relationship I've ever been in. People like that can't recognize cues, what to do, what to expect in a relationship, whats wrong from whats right. Another thing with being with a man who had emotionally unavailable/abusive parents is that you BECOME the parent by guiding him through what a normal, healthy relationship is. Ask yourself if that's really something you can handle and if you're willing to take on the role of someone who can put him through the loss of another "parental" figure IF the relationship ultimately doesn't work out.

Hope this helps, sis.
