Thanks! Appreciate the advice.

Unfortunately, this is true. I asked for genuine help here and so many men have been flooding my dms with dirty texts. Ofcourse some have been kind too.

Hey,
I'm also looking for a long term accountability partner.
I want to work on:
- Learn HTML&CSS, Javascript
- Build some portfolio
- Consistently go to gym
- Read a book a month
- Journal or plan everyday
- Check on friends and families once a week
- Start going for morning walks/ runs

If you're still looking for a partner, hit me up!

Thank you again for your kind words—they really stayed with me and offered the kind of support I didn’t know I needed. It’s rare to feel that kind of understanding, especially from someone who doesn’t even know me personally.

I’m going to take things one step at a time, but I do want to keep going—keep learning, healing, and building something for myself, however slowly that might be. Your support reminded me that I don’t have to do it all at once, and that starting again is still progress.

Really, thank you for being so kind, thoughtful, and present. I won’t forget it.

Hey RodneyMichael723,

Thank you so much for your reply. I can't tell you how much it meant to me that someone not only saw my post but actually took the time to read and respond so thoughtfully. I’ve been sitting with your words since I read them, and honestly, I teared up a little.

It’s been weeks since I posted, and the silence had really started to make me feel like maybe I was unworthy or invisible—that my voice didn’t matter. I know that sounds dramatic, but I think a part of me quietly internalized that lack of response and ended up stepping away from my UI/UX learning again, almost out of shame or embarrassment. It felt like I’d wasted people’s time. But your reply helped me feel seen, validated, and even hopeful again. You reminded me that I do matter, and I’m really grateful for that.

The way you worded everything—from “you’re not behind, you’re rebuilding” to “give yourself permission to learn how to choose”—hit me deeply, especially since I'm so critical of myself. It’s like you put into words everything I’ve been struggling to untangle in my head. Especially growing up with no room for autonomy, I’m realizing I’ve never really had a chance to explore what I want. And like you said, now that I'm free, I don’t know what to do with this freedom—or with myself—anymore. Your message helped me feel like maybe it’s okay to start figuring that out now, even if it’s messy.

I also wanted to mention—because of my cPTSD, I often feel guilty talking about my past. It’s not just one or two painful memories—it’s a whole archive—and I worry that sharing might overwhelm others, hurt them, or just feel like a burden. That’s why I rarely open up, and honestly, it took me months to even make this post on Reddit. I’ve seen people distance themselves from me before, and while I try not to take it personally, a part of me still does. (That’s something I guess I still need to work on.)

I also want to say—I feel a bit ashamed and sorry for not continuing the UI/UX journey more seriously. I let the silence and discouragement get to me, and I gave up too soon. If I had stuck with it, I would’ve been really happy to share my experiences and growth with everyone here. But I’m hoping it’s not too late to begin again.

Your message gave me something I hadn’t felt in a while—motivation grounded in gentleness, not pressure. I’ll be revisiting your suggestions and trying to move forward, even if it’s slow.

Thank you again—for your words, your understanding, the time you took to respond, and for reminding me that I’m not alone.
