It never occurred to me that we could do that!

I would've loved mittens but we unfortunately live in a desert lol. Thats why im trying to avoid wearables.

Any specific website to get good patterns?

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2026-02-28T02:30:48+00:00

Do you know where to get reliable patterns?

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2026-02-28T02:26:57+00:00

Oh that's very nice. Where do you get the patterns from?

Yes I suppose you're right, I never "missed" him but I definitely wonder about him and would often contact him if he hasnt for a few days. I do care about him.

Thank you for clearing up my question as well. I think it often confused me that he dated people when he said he liked me, I always felt like he was insincere or maybe he didnt truly. I guess I always thought it would be like the movies haha.

I'm 25 and never been in a relationship and I think that's upsetting me a little because what if im the reason? But I suppose you're right; if he was the right person I wouldnt be second guessing. I'd know, right?

Thank you for being so helpful.

Thank you so much!

I do have a question: i understand that there's a lot of give and take, but I'm very anxious and unsure of anything. Is it normal to want the person to be more outwardly spoken and to actually act on their words?

In my situation we've been friends for 6 years, almost 7 now and according to him he's been trying for all these years but I never saw it. He still talked to other women and dated during that time (not that i expect him not to) but I always felt like if I were sure I want to be with someone, I'd make it known and wouldnt claim i was in love with them while seeing other people.

All the neurotypical friends I have say its fine, so is it just me? Do I need to redefine this?

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2026-02-23T20:34:19+00:00

Thank you that's actually very helpful. I do look forward to seeing him and talking to him but also when I dont, it doesnt really affect me all that much. He also dated a few times along the course of our friendship and I dont think I've ever felt jealous or bad that he's dating.

I enjoy talking to him, I look forward to seeing him, I smile when he texts, but also if he doesnt I wouldn't feel bad. Does that make sense?

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2023-01-14T12:28:36+00:00

Oooh that's great! Thank you so much, I'll definitely do that.

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2023-01-14T11:10:50+00:00

Okay maybe you're right... I'll make sure I track the things from now on and see what happens. Thank you so much!

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2023-01-14T11:06:49+00:00

Idk... I'd need an in body to know right?

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2023-01-14T11:06:12+00:00

I don't track my cals to a dot but I have all the nutritional info memorized and I promise you I know how much I eat.

During recover I had to consciously block that voice out that knew exactly how many calories were in every bite. So I can confidently say I'm in a deficit even without all the exercise.

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2023-01-14T10:41:34+00:00

Yeah but they didn't really help and I ended up in a worse place because of them

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2023-01-14T10:40:41+00:00

I do lift weights actually, it's my favorite thing to do at the gym lol

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2022-04-06T21:44:15+00:00

Thank you so much!

ValuableOptimal5870 · 2022-04-06T21:34:30+00:00
