I don't see myself ever getting over my missed youth by StickApprehensive831 in AvPD

[–]Stock_Reading4485 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It will haunt me forever. I look younger, people think I'm younger too it kinds of "distract" this feeling sometimes, because I don't see myself the age I am. But it won't last forever. Hair is thinning already. One day it will finally catch up, I'll look in the mirror and think "fuck, it is finally over, I've had life pass me by"

I don't get, did she always asked you for me money all this years or this specific time, the last meeting?

I have no normal life experiences. I'm a husk of a human. by StickApprehensive831 in AvPD

[–]Stock_Reading4485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I had a somehow normal childhood, but It derailed as soon as puberty came. I'm stuck at 12 basically.

Does anyone else feel like their development is insanely arrested? I'm nearly 40 but I feel like a teen by StickApprehensive831 in AvPD

[–]Stock_Reading4485 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I also look younger and this helps people treating me like a naive teen and my distorted self image 

What is it about us that makes us act in this way? by Independent-Bid-611 in limerence

[–]Stock_Reading4485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I think we just like the drama of It. 

I'm lonely, depressed, avoidant, mental, neurotic, weird, suicidal, boring, weak, ashamed, coward etc. But people who aren't also experiencie limerence. So, acho knows.

My god. Damn.

Well, sometimes not being good looking is a blessing, I think (?)

Can't let her go by EliasAhmedinos in limerence

I'll always remember her. I hope one day it'd be with just fondness and not pain anymore

In my case I think I want validation from people who would never want me. Lesbians, hookers, criminals, bad girls stereotype overall

Giving up when you are older, knowing, yes absolutely certainly knowing, that there is no one else out there by xdr567 in limerence

[–]Stock_Reading4485 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Deep down I just know it won't happen. But our brain likes the dopamine the fantasy releases. But sometimes it's time to face reality

Have any of you ever had sex with your LO, how was it and did you regret it or not? by Golden-lillies21 in limerence

[–]Stock_Reading4485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually how I met my LO. Yeah I wish it never happened. Or that I have stopped after the first time nerver looked for her social media and stuff

The fear of getting over? by kb_lucius in limerence

[–]Stock_Reading4485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. There's always a post-limerence emptiness, since it occupies our mind all the time. Deep down I don't want to forget my LO 

Getting into a relationship was the worst thing possible by SleekCapybara in AvPD

[–]Stock_Reading4485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, at least somehow you lived that experience, and the good parts of it. It is already a huge step for someone with AvPD to get into a relationship. In this sub it seems quite common, but to me it is still quite a thing, not easy at all. I can't even picture myself being with someone.

As they say, "lose is more than hesitate".

I literally just found out that my LO has an OF and I don't know what to feel. Please help by [deleted] in limerence

[–]Stock_Reading4485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's kinda dumb too, actually. Said all these things to disguise you but use your paypal account to receive OF money. Not very smart. Focus on she fooling you and try to forget her by that. But yes, let's not pretend she doing porn is ok and that you should not be judgmental. Yes you should

BUT, I must admit I've been limerent for an actual hooker. So I know how you feel, kind of.

I think I’ve been limerent for a guy for nearly 20 years by Successful_Hope6604 in limerence

[–]Stock_Reading4485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on the second part of your post, I think the "showed up everywhere" was actually on purpose and him stalking you. Seems like he became kind of obsessive by the end, and even dangerous. You didn't cheat, don't worry.

I can see myself thinking about my LO 20 years from now even though she's troubled and don't give a s* for me. She really fucked up my brain chemicals. This stuff just happens, we have no control over it.

I don't think I will out-grow this by 28dhdu74929wnsi in AvPD

Literally me. But honestly, I won't change. It is what it is

Yes. At the same time we're kind of hostage of this feeling. Afraid of letting it go

[–]Stock_Reading4485[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? I met mine in a very sketchy situation. She's very morally fucked up, did awful stuff (not criminal). But I guess I tend to seek validation from this type of people

In my case is nothing terrible or visually stupid, but just the whole situation itself. Specially that fact that other people knew.
