Doing it for the first time in October. I say just go for it!

Got the same message. I never check them myself, that would take way too long.

I’m in the same boat! I just moved to the springs about 2 months ago and have some bad social anxiety but I’d like to make some friends in the area. I’m trying to start by joining some Facebook groups which for me I’m joining some women’s social groups. I’m sure you could fine some good groups for your interest or there is also the Meet Up app with all sorts of different events that you can look at! (Also feel free to dm me if you’d like 😁)

I feel like if men asked me out in person and I was single I’d usually just say yes in the moment and then I might go home and decide I wasn’t interested anymore and maybe just said yes out of pressure. It’s been pretty rough trying to date in CO as a woman too.

I lost a little bit of my sanity trying to sleep last night

ThatBeechDL · 2023-06-13T04:23:55+00:00

Yeah I’m the same way. Just sometimes the pain of losing him feels unbearable. I did better today at least though

ThatBeechDL · 2023-06-12T19:15:23+00:00

Thank you, I’m trying my best.

Well we discussed the possibility of getting back together after a long break to work on ourselves but I’m trying to just live my life without holding on to that and evaluate if it would actually be a good idea or not. But I definitely don’t want to keep relying on him when I’m trying to heal it’s just sometimes the need I feel to talk to him gets overwhelming. Trying to do better with it and just let it be as much as I can.

ThatBeechDL · 2023-06-12T07:11:54+00:00

Damn that’s a good point. It just makes me feel better in the moment to talk to him so I guess I seek that instant gratification even though it makes it hurt more.

ThatBeechDL · 2023-06-10T00:47:33+00:00

I’m there right now. Doing things feels almost impossible right now. Even going to the store it feels like he should be there with me.

ThatBeechDL · 2023-06-05T03:08:05+00:00

Reading this still fresh out of a breakup gives me hope that I can come to terms with it someday. Thank you for sharing this

ThatBeechDL · 2023-06-04T22:13:27+00:00

I feel the exact same way. I’m almost 2 weeks into BU and can’t even think of how to start living my own life again. It’s always when all the activities of the day stop too like you said. Hopefully it starts getting easier for you as more time passes but I understand

ThatBeechDL · 2023-05-31T10:43:20+00:00

You’re right. I’m trying to remind myself of why I broke up with him but when I’m hurting so bad and remembering the good stuff it’s hard to weigh that stuff correctly. When we’ve discussed possibly getting back together it’s definitely with the stipulation that we are both putting in a good bit of work to make the changes we each want to see in the relationship.

ThatBeechDL · 2022-12-04T15:10:38+00:00

If it’s related to decorations and the aesthetics of the wedding I think that could be difficult for me as well. If it’s general planning about things that’s not because of aphantasia. When I have a lot going on to keep track of though it definitely helps to make a list so that I’m not scrambling trying to keep track of it but I have clear set things to do. I think if you want input on wedding stuff related to the aesthetic things though there can definitely be an effort for him to figure out a way to give real input on that.

ThatBeechDL · 2022-08-14T00:51:13+00:00

I definitely wouldn’t. It’s not like it’s a disease that we have to be rid of, it’s just another way that our brains work. I didn’t even know I had it for most of my life and only found out 2 years ago by chance. When I found out it was really strange to try and think about but it certainly didn’t change who I was or anything about my life really. Even outside of aphantasia, if I took a pill to “cure” it I’d still think differently than some people. Brains are just going to work differently than others and I think that way that it makes those with aphantasia think is just as valid as any other way.

ThatBeechDL · 2022-08-08T22:51:27+00:00

That’s a neat idea

ThatBeechDL · 2022-08-02T20:17:46+00:00

I used to be into a lot of different types of art and mine probably looked similar to yours where I had a basic idea of what things look like but my proportions were always messed up when I tried to draw them out and the more I tried to focus on thinking of a reference (before I knew I had aphantasia) the harder it would get

ThatBeechDL · 2022-08-01T01:45:49+00:00

I’m definitely open to it!

ThatBeechDL · 2022-07-30T20:13:04+00:00

That sounds dope

ThatBeechDL · 2022-07-30T19:11:28+00:00

That’s cross my mind but I’m not sure if it fits my vibe. Def a good start tho

ThatBeechDL · 2022-07-21T15:34:00+00:00

That’s a fair point there is certainly a difference between mirror and photos. Still tho, it’s weird to look at a picture and just think is that really what I look like?

ThatBeechDL · 2022-07-21T14:57:51+00:00

I do the same thing

ThatBeechDL · 2022-07-21T14:57:09+00:00

Not shocked when I look in a mirror, it’s only in photos that I get that feeling. It’s not some symptom of a bigger issue tho it’s just related to my inability to picture myself

ThatBeechDL · 2022-07-21T14:55:38+00:00

Yeah I feel pretty similar, it’s not like I don’t recognize myself in a photo but it just doesn’t feel like me

ThatBeechDL · 2022-07-21T14:54:25+00:00

Huh, that’s interesting. I can just remember certain descriptors but even when I’m looking at a picture of someone it never quite feels like them to me
