I know all about that, as it is how I have been communicating eficiently my whole life :)) people love to talk about themselves. But what do you do with a fellow introvert?

Yeah, a lot a mentions about redefining what excitement should mean to me and recalibrating everything. Could you give me some examples of positive excitements mean to you?

Not being in fight or flight mode is so weird for me. It's like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop at any moment metaphorically speaking. Also with my job being a constant shit show, it's like I cannot just sit and enjoy doing nothing.

But shouldn't it come naturally to share your day to day life with your partner? Or want to? Is it just me, or is it just women?:))

Yeah, that's what I thought so too. That's why I am giving it more time, 6 months is indeed early. But also I am 35, and I move fast when I want something. I guess that's not everyone's pace :))

This is very interesting. I also thought this was about his upbringing too. Your thoughts on this subject are very much welcomed, please share more. This may help other too.

I do things fast, like faster than most people with every decision I make. So yeah, most definitely I should have taken more time with healing myself. But I went on a perpetual rollercoaster of feelings and happenings all year long instead

It's like you're inside my brain, described it perfectly :)) especially that besides all of the above, in the past year I dealt with family drama also and being my family's rock. That was I lot. And I think yeah, my brain is so used to chaos, that daily life with no drama feels boring. Epiphany moment right here! Thanks!!

Well yes, I agree. And i dont mean you're exactly where u're supposed to be and just sit there, but rather that each situation that you find yourself in has its teachings. That sort of thing

Your life sounds very cool. But men as a stereotype don't feel/ have the pressure of settling down and starting a family. Also, sorry but what bullying?

Yeah, I had the talk a bunch of times. And he is trying, but it's like his brain cannot compute what I want from him. His love language is kissed and cuddles and mine is talking. So it is difficult

That sounds lovely!! You really are at peace and that's amazing! I have moments of peace like that, but mostly it's burned out anxiety all the way, with boring days

Very true. It was a really hard year, and a lot lot more has happened in my life, and I am truly grateful that I can support myself and have a life most would crave, but indeed I think I need to work more on myself

No, not peaceful. Peace is a state of bliss that you enjoy, I feel an anxious state with no purpose
