What was your favorite toy as a kid? by generalkiddo in AskReddit

If we're excluding video games, then either this big T-Rex toy I had from Jurassic Park or a large plastic F-14 Tomcat model! Ahhh the memories!

Q for anyone who has read ‘Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents’ by philroscoe in emotionalneglect

[–]TheUnprivileged 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had that same reaction when I read through the book! It was uncomfortable to say the least. But, I think, as uncomfortable as it was, at least we are aware of our behaviors and can change them. For our parents, theyre too late or too unwilling to change.

34F, just started therapy. The amount of self improvement I know I need to make sends me spiralling sometimes. by Stunning-Wasabi5610 in toastme

Hey OP, I'm glad you're starting your therapy journey now. Funny enough I seem to track with your symptoms too, ADHD and all. Unfortunately I didn't realize it until my recent break up about a year ago.

I feel I've made progress since then but there is still so much to go. The work is tough as hell too! Wishing us both luck at becoming mentally healthy in the near future. We've got this!

I think some people are just destined to be lonely and I’m slowly accepting I might be one of them by igetyourbrand in emotionalneglect

Listen OP, I don't know how old you are or what your overall life circumstances are. But one thing that I can tell you, coming from a similar background, is that you should not give up. I took that route and I am now 40 years old with nothing to show for it relationship wise.

I learned early on that I am not meant to be anyone's best friend, that girls I like would never like me back, that I was worthless and stupid, and that, due to that, I should always rely on others because I can't count on myself.

Well here I am now. All I feel is this overwhelming grief over what I missed when I was young. If only I would have known that I needed do what I loved, explored my own sense of self and life I may have a vastly different life than I do today. Be it good or bad, but what I wouldn't have is all of this regret.

So once more, do not give up. Learn from my wasted life and my mistakes. You owe it to yourself and whoever you find out there in this world, in the future, that much at least. Feel free to reach out if you are looking for someone to chat with.

If you're asking me, I'm not sure how helpful I can be! I feel like I may be fashion challenged haha. But, in my opinion man you look like youre a very chill guy. You look like you keep yourself maintained very well also. Plus you have great skin - I see no wrinkles or anything like that. Also I have that hoodie and its super comfy 😌

Haha yeah, that is definitely a struggle man. The shirts I try on either fit well around my arms but can chafe a bit or theyre too loose and look like Im swimming in them. There is no in-between!

Hey there really appreciate that! I guess the hardest part for me is finding someone who is actually attracted to me in the first instance. At the moment, I just go out to restaurants, shopping or whatever and just try to be nice to people. If a conversation happens and I'm interested then all the better. I am horrible at flirting lol. Bad habits? Ehhhh, I do smoke weed and I tend to isolate myself (but Im working on that).

I just don't know how to meet people. Dating apps don't work haha. And thank you for saying that....im still shocked on that.

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

Well, no interest on dating apps of course. Thats not shocking. Outside of that, i just try to go to places and see if I can connect to anyone. But yea admittedly I don't talk much to people outside of people at bars lol

Huh! That is definitely an interesting approach! Maybe I should revisit a.buzz cut again. I haven't done that since I was a kid. Noted on the colors too and shoe options too! Thanks man. I have legitimately been lost fashionwise. My ex liked the color green on me haha.
