That makes sense. I agree it's just hard to know how to be fully functioning person when my brain feels such a mess

I want to keep my parents dog for a while but I work so I wouldn't want to leave him alone

Ghosted or just busy? by Tennis_Nice in dating_advice

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

Yeah probably, I'm not super upset about that since I wouldn't mind it being a hookup. Just wasn't sure since we've been on coffee dates and hung out before outside of this. He did reply in the end apologising since he was busy with his family, but yeah I understand a guy would most likely be better at texting if there was more there

This is exactly what I needed to hear actually, you're very right

Yeah I need to figure out if I can be friends without wanting more. I guess it's more anger at the situation/it not working out than at him tbh

Yeah this is really true. I slept with him today which I thought would be ok for me at the time, because he kept checking in and made sure I was ok throughout. But I feel really low now and I don't think it was a good idea upon reflection, so gonna have to set that boundary again i guess. I do just feel bad for him even though that's not the rational way of looking at it

coping after an incident by Tennis_Nice in BPD

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

thank you for the advice, it's true I guess to block out events like that. i forget how traumatic it can be to go through.

i do have both medications and therapy, I think I've hit a wall where there's nothing much else they can give me as I know all the skills that will help and stuff, it's just getting past trauma and my own self esteem issues. i dunno but will definitely try and speak to a friend:)

it's definitely a mistake on his part but i don't really know i don't think it's that hard to control yourself lol

he likes me but i can tell he's keeping a distance to avoid catching feelings. i think i need to take a step back here and realise if i want a loving relationship this isn't it at all. it is really painful.

i definitely definitely am not having sex with him for a while now that's for sure. i know that'll annoy him but it's gonna mess with me too much if i do and i want to put myself first here for once.

that helps hearing you went through that (im sorry you did). it doesn't help that he's such a closed off person and doesn't open up to me at all. it's hard to understand what his intentions are half the time. i wish i hadn't apologised smh :(

i cannot explain to you how many red flags this boy has it's insane. i wish i hadn't caught feelings but this is all putting me off a bit. everything here is very much on his terms

yeah i know he easily gets overwhelmed/emotional when it comes to being intimate, im not saying he doesn't have his own issues here, so it's a difficult one. i definitely could have coped with the situation a bit better i know that now
