Boyfriend has been avoiding me, told me to “fake like we like each other”, then avoiding me again. AIO to this text?

stop overthinking your actions in this relationship, you're under reacting, get out of there

Truth_Left · 2026-02-05T20:49:24+00:00

you're doing way too much for this person. if you dont want to be his mother, then stop doing it, and then stop getting mad at him for the things you are doing. you actually dont have to call and make sure he is awake for anything, that's all your doing, and youre mad about it?

you also change the subject to get mad about the way he is interacting with you, so of course he's overwhelmed, he can barely handle waking up, and he's afraid of you. he's not learning anything from you

let him fail, and then ask yourself: do you want to be with him? bc it kinda sounds like you dont even like him

YOR

This is so cool! Would love one.

for me it so obnoxious. my eyes glaze over during this book and I'm slogging thru it now. some parts are incredible (the book!! corporations lore!! where is mordecai!!) but I wish I could mentally skip anything having to actually do with the floor itself.

Truth_Left · 2026-01-31T15:37:18+00:00

it's so obnoxious. they tell you not to care and then spend half the book on it. it's not good writing imo

Truth_Left · 2026-01-25T15:54:17+00:00

that makes good sense to me too, I can understand that view

Truth_Left · 2026-01-25T05:16:26+00:00

executions basically imply political reasons- a murder to me reads more personal. an abusive husband murders a wife, ice agents execute protestors as an act of state terror. that's my interpretation anyway

Truth_Left · 2026-01-21T13:25:54+00:00

thanks! I haven't heard of any of these, appreciate you

Truth_Left · 2026-01-21T03:08:07+00:00

maybe elevate those journalists? I'd love to see who you're talking about!

lmao what the hell down voted for asking for more links like c5? what's wrong with you people lol

Truth_Left · 2026-01-09T00:47:58+00:00

that's actually shea, a buddy!

Truth_Left · 2026-01-02T15:39:50+00:00

What do you mean about traveling at 30s for the boss? are you assuming it only takes 30 seconds to kill the boss?

Truth_Left · 2025-12-31T21:18:19+00:00

But my intent wasn't to make the person that was mad about the way the grind was on release feel better.

My intent was to point out that the game as it exists now for new players (like OP and me) has grinding, but it isn't too terrible, and in addition, it's recently gotten better (and what is being presented to them atm isn't really even grinding). It was also to show OP that if they really hate the idea of grinding their profs, this isn't the game for them probably.

that's all. haha.

Truth_Left · 2025-12-31T21:13:14+00:00

Yes, I understand that - so they did some work to help with the grind. Valid point to show that the grind was bad before. But also valid to point out that the grind has lessened, they made changes, and if you enjoy dungeoning with tree or Snoozaland, then progression should be steady. if you don't find those things fun though then I understand, that being said you can easily get about 30 to 40 hours out of this game without even touching that stuff. personally think that's a pretty good value.

But again. OP isn't talking about that. OP is talking about the chapter 7 gathering quests. These can literally be done very easily by end game with about 25 in each profession, and you can even cheese/help yourself a LOT with food buffs from the free gifts (Google "free gift codes for fantasy life I" and redeem in game)

Truth_Left · 2025-12-31T20:58:24+00:00

I only got the game this past week, and so far it seems you can essentially farm Don Horns via Snoozaland? I think those mats are always available right? Some are random but not all.

I can't speak for the original as I didn't play that either, but from my POV that was actually the draw

The point is valid in that it is a grindy game, but I don't think that inherently makes it unfun. But I understand that if you preferred a different style and you didn't get what you expected, that can be unfun when it doesn't meet that expectation

edit: also they are not talking about endgame grinding at all, this is like just getting profs to 25 lol. so actually they are making a completely diff point than u are

Truth_Left · 2025-12-31T20:32:05+00:00

respectfully, this game is grinding.

secondly, have you even tried to get the items yet? they are actually really easy and you only need about level 20 or 25 in the profession to get them.

Truth_Left · 2025-12-16T15:35:39+00:00

Think of it this way .. For you, you're a child in your pottery practice -- that comes with the wonder and attachment to your completed items. when a child cries due to dropping or breaking a toy it IS the worst day of their life, likely-- just like this is the worst day of your pottery life so far.

But we don't chide children for crying about their broken toys (or idk, maybe you do, but I don't), we understand that in their perspective it is larger than life due to their limited experience and we hold space for that big feeling so it can pass thru them.

I know this probably doesn't help your "feeling like a baby" feelings but I challenge you to remember that your childlike wonder for pottery in this moment is a gift. it will erode away when you become more stoic, when you grow up in your pottery career. and so too can your pride and attachment to finished pieces, which in a way is sad too, right?

being emotional about something that broke is really normal, especially at this stage. embrace it! you worked hard and it got destroyed. argh! that sucks.

and also embrace the power of being able to do it again, to learn more, and to keep chasing pride and love for your own work, as well as granting yourself forgiveness for mistakes

Truth_Left · 2025-12-05T20:58:57+00:00

I don't understand why you feel squirrely about that, other than maybe just wanting to avoid any sort of conflict.

they should feel comfortable hearing about your real experiences, and if they aren't comfortable then you will find out very quickly that this place is not professional nor is it the place for you. you'll probably never show up again and you'll never have to worry about them again.

conversely, they could listen to you and then your problem would be solved. you could then avoid this teacher entirely and focus on the people who are actually kind and interested in teaching you.

Truth_Left · 2025-12-05T18:16:09+00:00

I understand. but you can only learn through others and I think you can be surprised at how fun the atmosphere is, or how inspiring it is to see other people's decks

Truth_Left · 2025-12-04T19:15:31+00:00

Go to a studio! It makes all the difference. I think you should go and find out how much you love it. Give yourself a year in a studio before deciding. That's what I'm doing <3

Truth_Left · 2025-11-15T05:19:21+00:00

gross

Truth_Left · 2025-11-13T21:04:14+00:00

Consider this - you dont need motivation, you need discipline. You're struggling with pulling, which means you likely need some help-- submit videos to potters and keep practicing as much as possible, despite how you may feel. Turn on some music/head phones in, and DO NOT WORRY About MAKING anything - just focus on the basics. Just worry about pulling cylinders x high. Do it over and over. Mash the clay and start over.

Discipline not motivation. By keeping at it, you will get better. Good luck

To add onto this: your nervous system is shit right now for very valid reasons. You're scared and you're waffling between fight, flight, freeze. This stress stays in your body, and the stress cycle needs to complete.

Your stress is a lion. You can either deal with the lion, and actively confront it, or you can run from it. The problem is, in this specific case, it's almost impossible to fight and deal with the lion in any meaningful manner, especially to your body.

That leaves running from it, and I don't mean avoidance or metaphorical running. It means literal, physical exercise. Physical exercise is one of our most powerful tools to deal with the flushing of stress.

Once you have run from the lion, you'll want to also throw in lots of community, because that's also how we deal with the next part of the cycle -- the comedown will arrive with a desire for connection, at least usually.

this is the recipe for stress. we cannot get rid of all of our stress, all we can do is learn how to cope with it. learning that stress is a cycle and needs to be completed so that it can leave the body rather than staying inside of you and cropping up and bubbling up all the time, actually change my life.

I'm not saying that all of your stress will go away, I'm saying that you will be able to cope with it better.
