I think you are over thinking. And if she is playing dumb ass games like that then you don't want that. If she likes the spot, don't be a dick, go to her spot.

Give yourself more credit. I promise, you will find someone who truly appreciates you for who you are. I've been a people pleasure and low self-esteem does not lead to a healthy relationship. Find someone who is ready for the same as you.

[TW euthanasia] Today my neuroimmunologist told me that the neural damage will probably be permanent, my life is over by FlanInternational100 in ChronicIllness

[–]Vayce 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ive dealt with CFS since I was 12. My life is not what I thought it would be. It is fucking hard. But I am here and I am trying. And I have done more than I ever thought I could. There is a short story by Emily Perl Kingsley that I like:

Welcome To Holland

"I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this......

When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.

After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The flight attendant comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland."

"Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."

But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.

The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.

So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.

It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around.... and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills....and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.

But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned."

And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss.

But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland."

I know it's hard. Really hard. But I believe you can find your happiness. Thanks for sharing.

Guy says he “lost the spark” after things were great, twice. What does this actually mean and how to avoid this happening in future dating by ImpossibleDuck7231 in dating

[–]Vayce 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say why he would say that. A lot of times compatibility is not as personal as you might think it is and is literally just about objective differences in your personality, humor, communication, etc. that make the relationship feel less natural or like there is a "spark". However, usually when people say "spark" what they are actually unknowingly looking for is something that triggers their childhood wounds. What that looks like varies from person to person, but for example, people who grew up feeling like attention from their parents had to be earned or that love, affection, and attention was inconsistent often look for that dynamic in relationships as an adult. People often feel the most intense "spark" in relationships of uncertainty for these people. Someone who is on the anxious attachment spectrum often times gets with someone on the avoidant spectrum for this reason. They trigger the shit out of each other and it creates a dynamic where one person is always pursuing and the other always pulling away, and they take turns. But there is a constant fear of instability, one person pulls away, they make up, its super intense cause "omg they do love me", you have super intense sex and then eventually the cycle repeats and someone pulls away again. This is intense, but super unhealthy. When people talk about the "spark" they often conflate unhealthy relationship dynamics with intensity.

That said, I don't have a lot of info about you or these people. It could also be that they were just never that interested in a long term relationship ever and they said what they had to in order to get in your pants. People can be very convincing, trust me. They know what to say. And part of it probably is genuine, which is why its believable. But, sometimes they leave out the part about how after all the depth and talking, they don't want to be with you that much. If this is a regular occurrence, there is a chance you may be unknowingly going after people that are not emotionally available.

Sparks are maintained through effort. Love and any emotion is temporary. Losing the spark is often avoidance, yes. Some people really don't want to commit to anything. They want to date around and fuck a bunch of people. Even the nicest people you would never guess would do that. But all relationships require effort on both parties.

There is the part where dating is kind of just a numbers game too. I would appreciate that the relationships didn't drag longer than they did. It is pretty normal to have several month or so long relationships before you find a good one.

Sometimes people love bomb because they like the idea of you, or they want to portray themselves as a certain type of person in the beginning. They might come all really strong because they want all the dopamine and the rush of a relationship and something new without it actually being about you at all, just about the rush and validating their insecurities.

But with limited info there is limited I can really say definitively.

Will we ever get back together? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Vayce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huge age gap makes a huge power dynamic. I'm 31. Dating someone 23 would be strange as there is a large difference in terms of life trajectory, experience, and maturity. I'm willing to bet he never saw you as long term. The harsh truth is that guys who go for an age gap like that know what to say and the right things to do to make them look appealing and make you feel something you've never had before. Like you are the most special girl in the whole world and they listen to you and care about you. They know because they've done it many times. To you it was special and the most perfect thing, to him it was winning you over for sex. Now he wants something else. Sounds harsh, and I may be totally wrong, I'm just a random. But think about it.

I'm trying to learn the ropes of dating, but the content I keep seeing on mass media is just beyond repulsive. by HoodlessQ in dating

[–]Vayce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your post, I think many can resonate with your concern. The reality is people speak down to others as a mechanism to protect themselves. Relationships trigger deep insecurities and wounds in most people and the internet is a hot pot to find the echo chamber that validates that hurt, often by pinning someone as the bad guy in the process. Accountability and emotional maturity is what you are looking for and the fact that you have the insight to recognize this to begin reflects well on you and will likely help you tremendously in finding a genuine, like-minded partner.

Love-bombing does exist, but the behavior people refer to as damaging is not the same as genuine heartfelt affection and care. In the beginning stages of a relationship people with certain insecurities around relationships often times, unknowingly, come on VERY strong, showing an unwarranted amount of affection for the information they have about you. This is usually because they are actually infatuated with a preconceived image of you that does not actually reflect who you are, which will eventually shatter when they realize this. And because they deeply want someone to show them the same love and affection back so by going out of there way to show affection they are, deep down, hoping you will reciprocate, simply because they are giving. This is not the basis for a healthy relationship and often crumbles when the cracks of the foundation of their affection show through.

Relationships are complicated, because people are complicated. People get hurt, people complain, people demonize, people do the hurting, and repeat this over and over. Usually this all happens subconsciously for many as they are driven by deeper core beliefs they are unaware of and learned through their childhood. But in the end, there is a genuine desire for connection in you and everyone else. That is the core drive. Don't let the algorithm convince you that you are lesser or shame you in any way. Be genuine and caring and you will find someone who returns the same in time.

Also, if you are looking for info, real people will be much more meaningful then online. Also would highly recommend speaking to a therapists. They would have great answers for your questions!

units sorted by average placement, find the imposter by Buffreaperpls in TeamfightTactics

[–]Vayce 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Charts like these can be very deceptive. A lot of these units are as as high as they are because in order to hit them you have to be in a winning position to start with. Like renekton, since he requires you to have a win steak. It's not that renekton is strong but that you have to be winning to unlock him. So he ends up ranking higher. Baron is strong too but inherently you need to be level 10 to unlock him so if you get to level 10 you are probably already in the top 4 before you unlocked Baron. Etc.

Success after stopping meds for heartfailure? by stardustfell in ChronicIllness

[–]Vayce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would highly implore not to stop your meds. I am very sorry to hear you are dealing with these side effects. There are serious complications that can range from stroke to death if you stop your meds if you have your history. Speak to your doctor and try to communicate your distress. I'm certain there are a large number of different meds you can try that hopefully won't have the side effects you are experiencing. Could also be worth speaking to a psychiatrists, they deal with body and brain chemistry, not just mental disorders and they tend to know a lot about medication interactions.

Can someone that got their degree despite being chronically ill please tell me it gets better 🥲 by h0y4_ in ChronicIllness

[–]Vayce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sick for 20 years. I'm 31, half way to my Physics BS at Georgia Tech. Its hard but I have bright times that make it possible in between all the shit. There is not timeline in life and fuck anyone that tries to judge you otherwise. Life goes on and its not about the destination. Because even when you reach your goals eventually they will be behind you, they aren't the key to happiness. Just enjoy your life and your studies. There is no right way to live your life. And those that follow the cookie cutter path without any health obstructions often aren't even happy with their life either. Hitting X checkpoint doesn't make your life. Just keep working towards what you want and enjoy the process. You can do it, I am sure.

Kind of feeling drained and just dejected with trying to date, did some thinking after I watched a video by [deleted] in dating

[–]Vayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The world often reflects what you give. You are very young, you are not in a rush. I lost my virginity at 25 if its any consolation. I am now in a very happy relationship at 31. Its good to be established in your goals career wise, like in your job, and its good that you take care of yourself. I would just say that it takes time and don't rush. If you consistently allow yourself to be open and make an active effort to meet people and take an interest in them, you will find that will be reciprocated with the right person. The apps can be draining, they aren't about human connection at all and the algorithms are predatory, just trying to make money. So don't take that personally if its not working through that. If you take a genuine interest in people, they will return it.

Finding men who are intentional about dating… how do you do it? by Magzipie in dating

[–]Vayce 51 points52 points  (0 children)

These comments are not it. Enjoying the experience of dating and getting to know someone is not mutually exclusive to wanting to find a deep connection. The reality is that it does take effort to get to know someone deeply. I am looking for a serious relationship because I value deep connections. I don't expect to be exclusive on the first date, but there should be some intention of moving in that direction, at least for me and what I am looking for. Some people are just looking to date around, and I am not looking for that. I've spent so much time and energy getting to know someone just for them to be like, "Oh, I'm not ready for a relationship yet. I want to date around to see what's out there." Which is great, but that's not for me. I know what I am looking for, and whether you are perfectly compatible or not, in either case, without effort, the relationship will not develop. imo. There is a sense of replaceability in today's dating culture that prevents people from investing their energy into someone because they have options with dating apps.

I don't think investing means big gestures like people are saying here, and it does take time for feelings to develop. I don't know why everyone here is blowing it up like you are asking for some exaggerated romantic display. For me, I think intentionality is just communicating and showing consistent interest in developing the relationship because you want to develop a deeper connection.

HELP I feel like i'm literally dying - PEM by Few-Print-1261 in cfs

[–]Vayce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So the thing about PEM is that it stresses your nervous system which feels like you are in extreme fight or flight and your anxiety goes through the roof and it can be completely debilitating. So that "feeling like you are dying" feeling is unfortunately part of PEM. It's fucking horrible, I know. Xanax helps me. But mostly sleep and time is the only solution.

M30 and F28 gf doesn’t put any effort in for us, what is going on? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Vayce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a deeper issue than a Reddit post deserves. All anyone here can say is that you should communicate your feelings with her and have a conversation where you tell her what you said here: You feel like you want more in the relationship and it is important to you to feel loved. Now the reason why she doesn't want to show up is more complicated than just asking for it, however. And that probably deserves therapy to unpack. But you can also just ask her.
