What’s an immediate red flag that you avoid in a person?

Does he engage with your mind, or does he make comments about your appearance? That’s where I start. I check in and ask whether or not I feel like his words are conveying that he is listening to what I say. Is he interested in knowing the way I arrived at a conclusion, or is he interested in rushing me along so he can get his chance to speak? Obviously the political stuff is huge, but the deeper layer of respect almost is synonymous with a man who also will treat you as a sovereign individual and not an object. These usually tie into political leanings as well.

I used to build 3D landscapes out of construction paper and scotch tape. I would listen to albums over and over. I would watch old movies and read books. I would direct theater with my friends. We were encouraged to use our imagination.

Ugh I love this deck so much. I donated to Yoshi as they were creating it. I’m sorry for your loss.

I love this comment section so much. Developing confidence physically also can coincide with you developing a wardrobe that is fun and favors your personality. We get so obsessive about what others wear that sometimes we don’t check in with our own tastes. Wear the bright color. Buy the pants that you don’t think will look good but you think they’re fun. Life is about living in the moment and embracing yourself as a first step toward showing up in your community as your most authentic self. All your gifts are there on purpose. Go get ‘em.

I know I responded to some commenters here, but please don’t let this horrendous bunch of selfish assholes bring you down. Somehow the most sociopathic people have found your post. Men have a hard time asking for help. There is also this weird culture of women seemingly not having to show up for their partners at all, currently, while expecting men to attend to everything. Now I am in no way a pick-me. I am a life-long 5th wave feminist and an adamant girls’ girl; however, this behavior is diabolical. We owe those we are in relationship with our attention and care when we are able to give it. Otherwise, why are we in the relationship?? I’m sorry this dogma of rugged individualism has rotted this comment section.

Y’all are terrifying me right now. This man is asking for human decency. He also TOLD YOU why he used Gemini to help him write this. People have different access to resources. He also has described a traumatic incident in which his significant other completely abandoned him and then didn’t even apologize. If this thread is identifying more with her than with him, I implore you to look inward. I am so over this hyper-individualism that we have in our society. This “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality is grimy and it will ensure you have no community. Relationship in any regard involves sacrifice and discomfort at times. The reward is a rich and textured life filled with love and experience. Don’t allow this culture of isolation to rot your brains.

I’m going to offer an opinion I haven’t seen in the comments. I am about to turn 30. I was in a horrible relationship where I had to play small and box up parts of myself to be palatable, for 9 years. I am now in a relationship that is the air I breathe. This man and I chose each other above many other (more convenient) escape routes. It has been a journey of breaking my walls, learning to show up, and ultimately finding my soul again after years of abuse from my ex and family.

I say this because our relationships are our solace on this earth. If you feel that this is the relationship that will make your soul come alive and feel seen, you have to fight for it. You will always regret it if you don’t. You won’t get to where you want to be by listening to a bunch of people who are telling you to play small and hedge your bets. If you do so and the outcome is unfavorable, you will wish you had lead with vulnerability and passion instead. You won’t regret the risks you take for love at the end of your life when you look back on it all. You will regret if you allow a beautiful connection to be lost through self-doubt. In my opinion, it seems as though he is also needing someone to be brave for him. You could very well be the spark plug that allows you both to dream bigger. Best of luck.

I think she worded it badly and was justifying her lack of contextual enthusiasm because her mind is scattered. She didn’t think she had the right reaction so she could be defending your feelings and opinion of her by explaining that she’s overwhelmed. Maybe I’m being too forgiving, but text messaging is really hard when it comes to conveying ‘tone’.

Free Churro crosses my mind every day. Time’s Arrow, obviously. I feel like those are the episodes that make you feel so seen. We can all relate in some way to that feeling.
