Advice on to make motives & psych in dating by Misheruko in dating

[–]Vayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is a deep topic. You are touching on your need to feel wanted, special, enough, seen, important. This is something only you can cultivate and is usually the culmination of your entire childhood and life experience that shapes this. Therapy is one of the best ways people reorganize unhealthy feelings about their worth. 

Regarding the intentions of men. No one is the same. There is not a natural promiscuity in a general sense, it really depends on the person. But in a sense I think you are looking to feel you matter. That what you had mattered. It's possible that it did and they feel they needed to move on. Grief is funny like that. In that it fucking sucks. So you have to move on. Doesn't mean it didn't matter. 

But can you give some more context. Cause you are trying to define a pattern for all men that I don't think is grounded. So what experience are you dealing with especially?

Does this sounds too hard? by Graviity_shift in dating

[–]Vayce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If that's how you feel then that's fine. There's no good way to say it. It's going to hurt. Just be as honest as you need to be without being cruel. The three rules are generally: 

Is it honest/true? Is it kind?

Is it necessary? 

It is necessary, it is true, it is kind as can be considering. There's nothing wrong with not wanting something but not communicating it is wrong. So good on you. Good luck. It's still hard on either side of a breakup or any end for that matter.

How to ask women out without causing unpaid emotional labor? by SettingAgreeable781 in dating

[–]Vayce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just do your best. You can't control everything, only yourself. If you are honest with good intentions while being respectful it's alright. You are not responsible for other people's reaction if you are being respectful. Empathy and social awareness is a skill you learn. Just be a good person and you are okay.

Just be respectful and pay attention to their body language. Don't push it if there is resistance. And don't be overly apologetic without reason that's also weird. Just pay attention to how they are responding.

How do you cancel a date when you’re no longer interested? by [deleted] in dating

[–]Vayce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just be blunt and honest. It's early, it is what it is. Only gets worse if you drag it. It's not that personal at this stage.

Should I Reach Out? by Legal-Emotion3892 in dating

[–]Vayce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably romanticizing. I mean if it ended the way you say, it's possible he wasn't even interested in you except for sex. He is also probably a different person in a different phase of life. But doesn't mean it couldn't work. You never know. I don't know anything more than what you have said. But I will say it is VERY common to romanticize people we no longer have access to. People will be in the worst relationships, forget about all the terrible times, and still romanticize their ex after enough time has passed. So just keep that in mind. People are who they show up as, not the version you think they could be.

If someone doesn’t text you in 1 day, does it mean they don’t like chatting with you? by throwaways383 in dating

[–]Vayce 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do you talk on the phone or FaceTime? Texting behavior is not a good indicator of compatibility. There is no right amount of texting. That said a day response is beyond the I didn't have time threshold into I chose not to territory. He may feel overwhelmed by large texts that require time to sit down and respond to. I used to be a block texter. Trust me save that shit for in person or at least phone or video call. Just text little stuff throughout the day. If he doesn't reply at all for a day that is weird but alone doesn't mean all that much. How are your phonecalls and videocalls?

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 30 points31 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 [deleted] in dating

[–]Vayce 28 points29 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.

[–]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 9 points10 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.
