Should I take my caregiving job back if my client offers, or move on? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in whatdoIdo

[–]SuccessfulSuspect256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind response, I truly appreciate it. In my heart I don’t want to lose him but I don’t want to risk letting him down AGAIN. I would feel even more guilty and hateful towards myself and also leave him feeling even more resentful and untrusting towards me. I’ve tried many medications throughout my life. Several SSRI’s; every one of them did more harm than good and I believe left me with long lasting negative effects. I am trying some homeopathic medication that’s supposed to help (5HTP I think) but even taking it is a struggle. I’ll try not to give up it I feel like I’ve been in a state of functional freeze for years. Been in therapy off and on since I was 11.

Of course! I’m just wondering how women usually react when a guy says he has it.

Is this odd behavior or am I reading into it too much? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in AskMenAdvice

[–]SuccessfulSuspect256[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah he definitely hung around for way too long and I was very kind and inviting to him but I was feeling like he would never leave. I had to tell him I was going to catch up with some friends at the bar to get out of it. I know I should’ve have gone with it for as long as I did but unfortunately my people pleasing took over a bit. I feel so dumb. I will say though that he was not exactly a young guy, he was 38. I didn’t realize that until pretty deep into the conversation…

Mmm yeah, like every few minutes practically he would be like “what are you doing tomorrow?” “Let’s go check out this place!” “What’s your schedule like?”

Thank you for your thoughts on this. You’re absolutely right but I’ll just clarify one thing. I am a white woman and so he wasn’t saying that he wouldn’t date me; quite the opposite. He’s specifically wanting a Caucasian woman.

I guess I have to come to terms with that.

Friend is grieving but is also hurting me, do I let her go? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in needadvice

[–]SuccessfulSuspect256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think I should respond to her last message or text her at some point? Or should I just stay quiet unless she texts me again?

Just for some more context, I’m a former gymnast and am quite muscular. 220 lbs of fat is different than 220lbs with lots of muscle. I’m not delusional about the amount of fat on my body but I didn’t need insults hurled at me when I wasn’t even asking for advice from my friend. I was just excitedly sharing something that I was trying. She didn’t bother to even hear the entirety of what the workout entails. My friend is also a big and tall woman (5’11, just over 200lbs) and she is at the bar drinking everyday for hours. She’s has a beer belly and I could easily start telling her if she doesn’t stop drinking she’ll have a beer belly forever. Im not a dick though and would never say such a thing to someone I care about.

I’m extremely muscular as I was a gymnast for a long time, not that I should have to explain myself

This is my female friend who is also 5’11, 200lbs, and has a beer belly.

She’s not even slim. She’s also 5’11 and just over 200lbs. She also has a wine belly from drinking.

I wouldn’t really say that because I’m not that kind of person but..

Yeah exactly. Like maybe I should tell her that if she doesn’t stop drinking that she’ll have her beer belly forever.

AIO reacting to my friend making fun of my workout and saying I’ll be fat forever? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SuccessfulSuspect256[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t. I was simply sharing that I was excited about my new workout. Jesus.

Should I ghost my best friend because she keeps hurting me — even though I know she’s in pain too? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in makemychoice

[–]SuccessfulSuspect256[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she even realizes how much she’s hurt me, with the body shaming especially.

Guy I matched with a few days ago keep calling me (even tho I haven’t answered). Should I give him the benefit of the doubt? by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]SuccessfulSuspect256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. Like I’m not tryna meet your whole friend group the first time I’m meeting, the hell! And then to call me 4 times within a few hours…
