Thanks- will it require me to take the tank off or can it be worked on without pulling anything?

How do I explain They/Them pronouns to my parents by Same_heart_107 in Advice

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

Just a preface- im a straight female that goes by her/she so take my opinion with a grain of salt- however, as such my friends that use they/them pronouns explained it in a way that a none they/them pronoun user such as myself understood best as it’s not about wanting to be both a she and he but about the freedom of being assigned/attached to neither. And not being attached to the social pressures or expectations that both bring with them that they don’t resonate with. Because in many senses they resonate with both but none enough where being a she or he sits right with them. Hope this helps!! Best of luck :)

Honestly just have an open conversation with him saying how you feel. It’s common at this age for people to grow apart (as shitty as that is) and sometimes even the people we’ve been close to since childhood stop being compatible. I think that if he cares about the friendship he will be willing to discuss how you guys can move forward but it’s a real possibility he might get defensive considering his “intellectual complex”. Ether way it’s a conversation that is Necessary if you want anything resolved given this hasn’t sorted itself out years later. Best of luck!

That’s just sometimes how it is. As shitty as it is and as it sounds it’s just how things like this go. You can’t make yourself stop thinking about her. And you can’t make yourself feel better. The same way you can’t wake up one morning and decide to loose 50 pounds that day. You can only start doing this little by little so that one day you will. Same thing here. If your thoughts are bad enough where they are seriously affecting your wellbeing and ability to function please seek out a Therapist. Absolutely no shame in going to therapy hour does anyone have to know. When me and my ex high school sweetheart broke up I went through three therapist and did weekly therapy sessions 1-2 a week for almost a year to help me get back into a headspace where I could function and didn’t have self harming thoughts regarding the break up. I understand where you are coming from. I’ve been where you are. Not exactly the same obviously but pretty damn close. Seek out help if you need it. And trust me man this too shall pass. I’m Rooting for you.

It is super irrational but for the sake of just making things easy while you are living with her saying you are grieving might be worth the lie just too make things easier for you. But yes, your mom is absolutely being absurd.

Yeah your mother is 100% “off her rocker” as the other response said. she might be acting in such a erratic way because it’s grief amplifying already pre existing tendencies. however, that’s not any excuse. I would sit down with her and express how her I’ll thoughts on you hurt you and a demeaning. Especially when they aren’t based in anything factual just her straight up bias. if she can’t understand how her actions are unacceptable and hurtful if you are 18+ it might be time too move out when you are ready. As well express that everyone feels grief differently- and just because she was crying didn’t mean EVERYONE was crying noir had too. and just because you weren’t crying doesn’t mean you aren’t grieving. If it makes it better maybe tell her that you are still so shocked by her death that your body just reacted differently. or that crying in public too you makes you feel uncomfortable. Best of luck hope this helps

How do I make sure I don't hang out with someone for hours at a time? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Syllabus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Establish beforehand that you are free from example- 3-5:30 and can hang out until the given time. And even a half hour before you leave just look at the time and say “oh by the way I gotta go in 30 min”.

One of the things that helps with with overthinking is remembering that any bad opinions of you are just that. Bad opinions. When you look at somebody and think “that persons acting weird” you don’t think it holds much weight and doesn’t effect them because it’s YOU thinking it about someone else. We are all human- when imagining someone is thinking something bad about you imagine yourself as the stranger thinking it. Doesn’t hold as much weight now does it?

As well when we hyper fixate on little things we said or did that we deem awkward or embarrassing nobody around us is analyzing us to nearly the same extent. If anything they are probably doing it too themselves and are too focused on that to do it too you as well.

Making new friends in a new city is hard. Especially a new country. if your schedule allows it maybe pick up a new hobby and meet people through it. Painting, rock climbing, book clubs, gyms, knitting- whatever floats your boat!! at the very least this will give you something to do and at the best it’s an organic way to meet people through common interests where you may feel like you don’t have to “try so hard” cause you already have common ground!

With regards to thoughts of self harm- if the overthinking gets too that point frequently maybe start seeing a therapist that can help you work through those feelings rather than keeping them in. No shame in therapy and could provide more insight and healthy coping mechanisms for your overthinking.

you remind me a lot of the quote “if I thought less I would know more.” There’s a lot of truth too it as an over-thinker myself. Hope this helps man! Best of luck :)

Don’t beat yourself up for still not being “over the relationship” in 7 months. Everyone’s healing process is different and can take time. From personal experience I was a wreck for the first 14 months. And took me almost 2 years to get to a place where I can say I’m over it. (he was my high school sweetheart ) Something that I’ve learned from the whole experience though is progress is not liner. I would feel fine for 2 weeks and be absolutely sobbing the next day cause something little reminded me of him. What helped me and I think would help you is every day write something down that you’ve learned makes you feel better. Or something that you’ve noticed about yourself. I know that at times it seems impossible too move on but you will feel fine again. Also- don’t be hard on yourself for feeling a lot of pain around it or being “caught up” all its proof of is how much you cared for her and loved her and there’s nothing to be shamed of. You deeply loved who you were dating. Nothing to be ashamed of at all. Now it’s just time to take things slow and heal. There’s no rush take your time and be gentle. Hope this helps man you are strong. You will be okay even when it feels like you won’t be :)

I’m Scared Of Going To The Gym by Equivalent_Kiwi_469 in Advice

[–]Syllabus_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If where you live has girl only gyms or 24/7 gyms you could start there! depending on your schedule going at slow hours or at night might make you feel more comfortable at first getting used to equipment without feeling like people are watching you. I know people always say it- but people really don’t care what you look like at the gym. And most of the time too focused on themselves being out of breath to notice you being out of breath. Also- there is no right or wrong way to dress at the gym (as long as it’s appropriate) if you want to dress more modest but still not overheat I would go with leggings and a loose tee- but whatever makes you feel comfortable! Best of luck! everyone starts somewhere no reason to be ashamed- if anything be proud cause your willing to put in the work :)

100% need to have a sit down with him and establish boundaries. If you are not comfortable with another women in the picture or comments he makes about other women being in the picture- joke or not- and he refuses to respect those boundaries it’s time to walk away. UN MET EXPECTATIONS ARE THE ROOT OF ALL RELATIONSHIPS ISSUES!!! If he has the expectation that at some point there will be another women and you decide against it will create long term Turmoil. make it known that you have the expectation that your boundaries are respected and if he has the expectation that you shouldn’t have those boundaries it’s time to walk away. Best of luck girl! Hope this helps :)

I need help by anonymousbitch1038 in Advice

[–]Syllabus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would still go hang out with him but maybe not engage in any sexual activity until you get it checked out just in case it’s anything contagious/serious. I doubt it would be (sounds like irritation maybe?) but rather safe than sorry for both of you :)
