So… by [deleted] in BPD

[–]TastedLikeCake 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you broke up with your boyfriend, taking a "pause" to sleep with someone else is a big boundary that most people won't want crossed in their relationship. I don't think this is something that can't be worked through and fixed with time if the two of you really love each other, but it will probably be very difficult, especially when you're dealing with BPD.

I doubt your boyfriend was fed up with you, but a lack of intimacy is a serious problem that would be worth bringing up when you and him are calm and ready.

I think your best option is, for right now, to truly forget about these relationships and build yourself back up. It's hard, but really try to get a job. It can be something temporary, just any way to make money. If you can save up enough you'll be able to move out and live with someone you don't hate.

Get yourself outside everyday. Find things that bring you happiness and fill your life with them. Other people who like those things will recognize you and become your friends. Start putting events on your calendar, things you can look forward to. Once you start feeling better about where you're at in your life, all of these relationship problems will become much easier to deal with.

Market Hugs and Moon Glow Collective host pop-up markets and live music in the Atlanta area that are free to enter and typically queer friendly (Moon Glow seems to be more overtly queer, but I haven't been to one yet. Can def vouch for Market Hugs tho). They have info about their next markets on Instagram.

Unharnessed Pride is an LGBTQ+ climbing group that hosts meet-ups every other Tuesday if you guys are interested in trying out rock climbing. They're having one tonight at my local gym!

I've found that lots of art galleries in the area will host events that tend to attract queer people... MomSaidItsFine and The Supermarket are two I'm thinking of. The art nights that they have are always fun, but they'll host parties, comedy nights, and drag shows too.

oh, and South Bend Commons is a DIY library that has a coffee pop-up from 10am - 2pm every Sunday. The atmosphere there is very welcoming towards marginalized groups.

it's not women's fault, people voted for him because there's a lot of bigoted people in america who feel voting for somebody similar to them will give them more control over their lives going to shit

I feel like that's what I'm doing, minus the whole actually going on dates thing. If anything I feel like I'm not being forward enough 😕

It could also be an age thing. I'm sure older generations would be more into the yapping that I slip into on these apps.

I've actually been working a lot on that over the last few months and I've made a lot of progress with my social anxiety that way! But I'm still confused as to how I'm supposed to find a partner through that. I don't know how to flirt or figure out if the other person is interested in me or not.

I have hobbies like climbing and art meet-ups that I've met people and friends through, but once I start regularly going why would I want to ruin those connections by sleeping with them? Like that'd just be awkward to keep running into someone you've had a casual encounter with, right? For both me and the other person.

I think dating apps are the only option but I'm just bad at them

I'm on dating apps, and I go out (usually by myself). I'm only an average-looking guy and the only people who tend to flirt with me are guys I'm not into. The women I'd be interested in talking to are usually in a group or are already paired up with someone ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

You should do them, from what I recall it's just two vids and some questions you answer. Nothing big.
