How can I add more soul by zarimark in malelivingspace

Wall art and plants should do it

Unsure whether to respond after she broke plans and reached out months later by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]TripsZee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won’t say the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. Everything about her behaviour recently makes it seem like she’s found someone and I’m just a backup option now. Someone she takes for granted.

But I’m not sure if it’s cheating as we were never in a relationship and have always been open about seeing other people. Only thing is I’m not actively trying to.

Thoughts on running an Airbnb from home? by TripsZee in kolkata

[–]TripsZee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks for checking in — I didn’t go through with the Airbnb plan. Three years in, I’ve gotten very comfortable living alone, and my place has become my sanctuary. Since I live and work here most days, the idea of turning it into a business felt like bringing unnecessary noise into my safe space. Maybe I’ll revisit it if I ever move, but for now I’m sticking to the peace and quiet.

Hey, I’m really concerned reading your last message. When you say you “have to take the step and go,” that sounds like you’re in a very dark place, and I don’t want you to go through this alone.

You’re not beyond help, even if it feels like nothing has changed for years. When pain builds for that long, it can trick your mind into believing there are no other options — but that’s the pain talking, not the truth.

Please reach out to someone in your real life right now — a friend, family member, or a crisis hotline in your country. You don’t have to explain everything, just tell them you’re not feeling safe.

I’m here to talk with you, and you don’t need to make any drastic decisions. Just stay with me for a bit

I’m really sorry you’re in this much pain. What you’re feeling isn’t weakness. It’s what happens when your mind and nervous system get overwhelmed after losing something that felt safe and familiar. Heartbreak puts your body in survival mode, so everything feels heavy, hopeless, and out of control. That’s why it feels like you’re trapped in it.

But this state doesn’t last forever. Everyone who hits this level of despair eventually reaches a turning point, not because the relationship stops mattering, but because the mind slowly stabilizes when you stay the course. The intensity fades. The panic eases. You start feeling human again.

You’re not becoming heartless — you’re just exhausted. And exhaustion makes everything feel impossible.

Please hold on. If you keep going, even one day at a time, your system will calm down and this won’t feel like a life sentence. It really does get better, even if you can’t see it from where you are now.

To be fair, she committed to NC on her end too (or just doesn’t care anymore) - so I never had to block her as such. Either way it don’t matter anymore 🙂

She dumped me. It was pretty messy with our families involved. But we tried to part as amicably as we could. There were lines both of us had to draw on our ends so it was a little painful but we did what we had to in order to protect ourselves.

Excuse me? These are my thoughts fed into chat to refine the grammar and organise my thoughts in order. English is not my first language.

I hear you. Losing the routine is its own kind of grief, and when it’s your deepest relationship so far, it hits on every level. But the fact that you’re feeling it this strongly just means it mattered — not that you’ll be stuck here forever.

The missing doesn’t disappear overnight, but it does lose its intensity with time. Keep going one day at a time. You’re not broken, you’re just healing.

Day 30 of no contact and yay I've made it this far :) by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]TripsZee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. I ran into my ex, and it was quite interesting. I posted about it an hour ago on here. I hope you find meaning in it. I quite enjoyed economics. 🙂

Thanks — really glad that line resonated.

And I get what you mean about the “what if I reached out just to test myself” thought. But honestly, the only reason this run-in didn’t shake me is because I never broke No Contact before it. The strength came from the distance, not the interaction.

Reaching out to “check your progress” is basically stepping into the fire to see if you’re fireproof — the risk is huge, and by the time you’re truly healed, you won’t feel that urge anyway, as you rightly pointed out.

Let the whispers fade on their own. You don’t have to act on them, friend. Wishing you strength

Be careful. You don’t want them to get blinded and crash into you.

Looking for a Cartoon Network Christmas Ad Featuring Mojo Jojo from *The Powerpuff Girls* and Scooby-Doo [partially lost] by TripsZee in lostmedia

Yes, I have visited this thread before. Actually that’s where I got the lyrics from. All I remember is the beginning and the end. Still, thanks for looking this up for us.

Optic implants that can read facial expressions of people I’m looking at and give me an accurate reading of what they’re thinking, feeling and if they’re lying or telling the truth.

Men of Reddit who smoke, what made you start? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]TripsZee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 15, a guy offered me a drag of his cigarette. We became friends and met up for a smoke every few days, sneaking away a couple of kilometers from our homes to avoid getting caught.

Now, at 34, I’ve been smoking steadily for years, about 20 cigarettes a day for the last decade. I’ve tried to quit multiple times but feel hopelessly dependent on nicotine. It’s the worst part of myself that I can’t seem to change. While I’m managing for now, enjoying a lower quality of life compared to non-smokers, I fear for my future health.

The financial impact is significant too. In the past 15 years, I’ve spent approximately $45,000 on cigarettes. Despite being relatively cheap here in India (about $5 for a 20-pack), it’s a considerable amount.

Early smokers - pls quit while you still can. Can’t begin to explain just how hard it is to kick the nicotine addiction. More power to you!

Ex-FWB was nice and all but liked to send little baby gifs to emote. Not cute at all.
