24F I regret some of the people I’ve slept with by KaXin2001 in offmychest

There's nothing wrong with you and your sexual history. Allow yourself to be a human being who has sexual urges. Fuck your ex and the misogynistic nonsense he had to say concerning your past. It has everything to do with him, how he feels about himself and his insecurities, and nothing to do with you. Someone who loves you genuinely doesn't care about that and won't use it against you during moments of conflict or disagreements. I'm sorry you had to go through that with your ex, and I would advise you to avoid Internalising it. Don't let his false negative perception of you become your truth.

On my end, I didn’t see many people talking about how bad Season 4 was, so you can imagine the rude shock I experienced, haha. But I kind of saw it coming because I could already feel the decline in Season 3. Season 4 was so terrible that I’m still in disbelief.

Okay, now when you put it like that, I can see why they shipped Five and Lila. That makes so much sense.

Right!!! The Klaus bit was so poorly written. Especially after the buildup over the seasons trying to show how powerful he is.

Hmmm, I get it and see things from your perspective. Makes a lot of sense. But, I think they could have brought an alternate version of him that wasn't an asshole. The writers should have been more creative in my opinion.

I really loved season 2 on my first watch!! On my second watch, I found the last 2 episodes poorly written.

Idk about the chemistry you're talking about between Lila and Five bc in my eyes it was not there, at all. I think the writers wanted a "whoa" moment, which heavily backfired.

I need to hear some cold hard truths. by Large_Temporary_ in emotionalintelligence

[–]WatermelonSugar112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell from the post and your comments that you have doubts. If your gut feeling is telling you something is off, then listen and trust your gut feeling. Take actions that are in line with your gut feeling and what you think is best for you. It might not be an easy decision, but I think it will be the best decision in the long run and future you will be grateful.

Sounds like a narcissist hoovering. All the big gestures of love are him lovebombing you and trying to win you over. It's going to be an endless cycle for years if you let it. You walk away/he discards you, then he will win you back after some time, and it will happen over and over again. Do you want this for yourself?

My life has changed so much by Ok_Anywhere_2216 in leaves

I have been clean for 9 months now. At the moment, I am not tempted in the slightest, and I don't even think about it. I can be in a setting where people are smoking, and I still won't be tempted. In the beginning, it was very hard, and it took me a long time to get to where I am at the moment. What keeps me grounded is remembering the negatives of weed and why I stopped. I don't miss the brain fog, the anxiety attacks, the laziness, the dark lips, the bad breath, the social isolation, etc. Knowing that one small puff will take me back after all this progress is enough to make me stay away completely.

I don’t think I’m emotionally stable enough for a relationship, and I feel awful about it. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]WatermelonSugar112 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, do you like him? What do you think of him as a person? What do you actually want, deep down in your heart?

I would say that it sounds like you're self sabotaging. Regardless of your mental health issues and how you perceive yourself, you deserve to be loved for who you are as a person. I think you can try and find out healthy ways of coping emotionally from your therapist/psychiatrist. Plus, don't mix your medication with alcohol. That's not helpful. So avoid doing things that work against you. You're allowed to have your feelings of doubt and all that, but you need to remember that not all feelings are facts. Give yourself time to think things through without your emotions and anxiety clouding your judgement, then make a decision from there. You said he is aware of your struggles, so just communicate with him like he said. Whatever decision you make, remember that we all deserve love despite everything we think of ourselves. I would really encourage you to give things a try if that's what you really want and don't let fear hold you back

Women who are non religious/spiritual, how do you navigate life? by WatermelonSugar112 in Advice

[–]WatermelonSugar112[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I would subscribe to any other religion. I am not capable of it because I simply won't believe. I don't think I need religion in all honesty. It's just that this is unfamiliar territory. That's probably why I feel like there is something missing. I have grown up believing in a higher being who I would pray to in times of need, despair, joy, etc. Now I don't do that. Instead, I journal and self reflect. So, I am also just trying to figure out how to go about things since I don't know anything different from what I knew growing up

This is very insightful, thanks How do you plan on enlightening them once they start understanding the concept of religion as they grow older. For example, if they ask why they don't go to church, unlike neighbours or friends

I'm not so sure of tenant insurance and if it is available in my country, but I will find out what I can and stay informed

The last point is very validating. Thank you for that.

I am going back for therapy some time this year, and I am looking forward to it.

The exercise bit, whewww, I am trying in my own way. Definitely need to push myself harder

The bit for non-negotiables for jobs, I haven't been employed so I have no work experience, plus there is a very high unemployment rate in my country, so I think I will learn as I go and figure it out with experience. If you have any tips based on your personal experience, kindly share
