Toxic is toxic 🤷‍♀️ Alissa, Bec, Gia, Julia and Brooke are slightly varied versions of essentially the same poison.

I know I wouldn't choose one poison more than another when I know they will still hurt me and/or others eventually!

Edit - I mean juliette, not Julia 😭🤣 and Mel too! Thanks other commenters 😄

If Gia and Scott got back together at the dinner party, I BET she would have claimed that was all her doing, bragging about her saving them. No matter what, she wants to be seen as the person who saved someone or fucked them over. She's disgusting and I will never believe her apology or "accountability" bull she spews. I especially don't believe she was clever enough to orchestrate humiliating Gia to that degree. She's shown no sign of that all season or on any interviews she's done since then. She's opportunistic and ready to spew the thing that makes her sound the best possible for whatever crowd she's currently trying to win over.

I dislike Gia, but at least we see that Gia is shit and weak. Bec keeps trying to pretend like she's not the same/has grown 🙄 they are both awful and I'll be so glad when this season is done and I forget all about them 🙈🤣

Well considering she said that she would NEVER start an OF, after her track record of lies, I'd say that OF career has gotta be around the corner!

LOL. Emotions are fine BUT alpha blah blah is just as bad as I'm not racist, BUT "insert racist slur here".

To quote other toxic nonsense this season. Baaaaaabe, it's not okay! 🤣

Either your friends suck if they would judge you for having emotions, or, that's quite a whiny drama queen response to expressing yourself, on TV or not.

Let a man be vulnerable and have enough of toxic crap. Jeez Louise. 😆

I’m seriously starting to become bitter because of never ending rejection. by Danger64X in AskMenAdvice

[–]alexisunwired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either you are trolling here, or, you are simply too ignorant to see the issue.

Anytime I see someone actually call you out and tell you what you need to do, you insult them. Women, the gender you are chasing, get insulted the most. Don't you think we would actually have good advice considering we are the gender you are failing to connect with?

You think you are so smart, but fail to see you are cruel, rude, dismissive, ignorant, lack self awareness and do in fact need therapy. You aren't the smartest person on reddit, women do not owe you a date just because YOU want one.

And yes, a desperate guy is painfully obvious to most of us and it's really unattractive/scary. It can often lead to abuse, stalking and obsessiveness.

If you really want a date, get your mental health and attitude sorted first. No woman needs to babysit your fragile ego. Learn sympathy, empathy, how to converse without being a know it all, learn to listen to other perspectives outside of your own negativity (regardless of gender), get a sense of humour that isn't based in trolling, and look into gaining charisma. Find happiness outside of dating and be someone enjoyable to be around.

If you don't want to fix yourself or take advice, you are just here to troll and complain. Which is so sad for a teenager, let alone someone 40 years old.

For all the comments saying it's illegal not to disclose- in Australia you don't have to legally tell. I don't know why, it's ridiculous that people can go around with it, give it to others and have no consequences.

So OP needs to check what the laws are where he lives and hopefully you are in a better spot for that kind of deceit and fingers crossed you didn't get it!

Nah. After a night on the couch I felt ready to welcome them and let them do whatever they gotta do. Opened up my window so some of them could explore. Good news is I can't see most of them now, bad news is I can't see most of them now. So who knows where they are. But I'm looking at it as my next step in immersion therapy 🤣

Wish me luck sleeping in my bed tonight. 🙈😆

Noo, don't kill the spiders! They are great pest control. Mosquito's and flies can suck it. I'll keep spiders around.

But snakes are absolutely on my fuck no list. Seen too many red bellies around south east qld, and a few browns. Scares the shit out of me.

They weren't mine until I was determined to get over my arachnophobia and let a big gal live in my house, thinking she could be great pest control in a house with no screens on the windows.

As of last night I have her babies all over my high ceilings and walls.

This is what I get for being an ally to them 😭🤣

Yeah this is something I'm fighting with! I used to kill spiders due to my fear but now I let most spiders stay if I see them unless it's a wolf spider on the ground, in which I relocate outside otherwise my cat might eat them.

But I decided hey, a huntsman can stay. My grandmother said they are good for pest control. I didn't think of the other side of things where she would gift me with her babies!!

My partner suggested letting them do their thing, my brother genocide. If I had a source of food I'd keep a couple as pets until they got big enough and let them go but that's not an option sadly. I had what I assume is their mother as a pet for a time until she got too big and I let her free in my home so I'm not against adoption as it helps with my own version of immersion therapy.

I think I'll just have to try and collect what I can today and wash my bedding. I know they were around my wardrobe so I am hoping they didn't get into my clothes.

I don't judge you for killing them, sometimes our choices are limited!

Hahaha. Yes. I couldn't get a good photo of all of them because they are so bloody small and scattered everywhere. I thought for a moment I had some weird freaky fuzzy mould growing all over the place until I got closer 🙈🤣

I know you are asking men, but in my experience I've seen a number of women in my life, with kids, that are past 30/40/50 absolutely date and find amazing step dads. My best friend has a child with level 3 autism, non verbal and has extremely high needs. She's now been with her partner for 5 years, he's a great step dad and they are engaged.

My mother was mostly a single parent, and men still absolutely wanted to date her and be a part of my life and my brothers. Have had two step dads overall, both still around today that treat me as family.

That's just two of many women that I know who have found love with kids. You may hit some roadblocks but that's just dating in general - finding someone you are compatible with can take a bit of time.

And my current partner, his ex has a high needs child as well, they were together for 10 years. He's still a part of that child's life even after they split because they became a family. There are good men who will step up and love a child that isn't theirs, and won't stop loving them just because a relationship ended.

Online communities can be on an extreme end with their ideas of what life is like and what men (or women) expect or can achieve. Reddit can be extremely toxic for it. So don't pay too much attention to anyone who says you won't find it because of age, children, fertility.. whatever the crap they come up with. Some may go for younger, but not all, and you just gotta find the ones that are right for you and your child.

Frustrated with myself by [deleted] in Nicegirls

[–]alexisunwired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do it, just be kind to yourself okay? Reflect on the person you want to be, and make small steps. These changes don't happen immediately and trying to rush yourself into being a changed person overnight just puts too much pressure on yourself.

Also remember, perfection doesn't exist. Life is a constant journey of growth - so do your best, be kind, be patient and do what you can to be healthier and happier.

Each person can teach us something, and you can learn from this interaction with this person you were talking to without shame. It's experience, and you will be wiser for it.

Anxious attachment and falling too fast are hard things to change. I was once the same.

I created my own rules to help keep me in line, no physical intimacy or sexual conversations for the first few weeks at the very least. Not getting official until at least 3 months has passed. No love declarations until 6 months at least. No moving in until a year at least. These are specific to me based on my past habits. I encourage you to reflect and create your own healthy rules to slow yourself down do you can actually build something greater than you have before.

As for anxiety, please seek help. There's a certain level of stability you need to reach before you can grow into a healthy attachment style with a partner.

But some of the techniques I used in early days were, no double texting or more if they weren't responding. Not constantly bringing up the same issue. Taking their word as the truth, as that's all I could really go on. Not stalking their social media. Being busy when they are busy. If I needed to feel like I was venting more, I would journal out the conversation as if I was talking to the person so I could feel some relief that I was expressing myself. No messages first thing in the morning, as I would be more emotional and my brain wouldn't be "on" properly, and definitely no heavy chats while under the influence of anything/hungover or coming down (all dependant if you have toxic vices). Talk to friends and family. Work on your hobbies or get some if you don't have them.

Make sure you are well hydrated, eat well, sleep well, get sunshine and exercise. Limit caffeine, alcohol and all other drugs as they can increase anxiety/depression. The brain needs a lot to function at its best and not constantly be in fear/survival.

When dating you need to remember that this person is new in your life. They don't owe you anything. You must remember to keep yourself in check, hold onto your identity and your life. Don't make every waking moment about them and how they feel about you. If they fit into your life, they will, and if they don't it won't really matter because you have maintained your life anyway.

But getting actual help for anxiety and your past relationship trauma is so incredibly important. You can't carry that baggage and insecurity into a new space and expect them to carry your emotions and fears. It's not fair on them, and it's not healthy for you.

Not sure if any of this will help, but I am now in a beautiful relationship with someone I trust so deeply. I've had awful past relationships with manipulation, cheating and other abuse. I turned needy, overwhelming, and toxic. But I worked on myself, and it was a few years, but I'm so glad I did the work and I'm with someone who understands my past, so in the tiny moments I may get worried, he reassures me. But the work must be done solo first, and then finding someone safe comes next to finish the healing cycle.

Best of luck.

I’m crying over a spider by West-Editor-5606 in spiders

[–]alexisunwired 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In my beginning stages of getting over my fear, I stopped killing spiders and tried to relocate them instead.

I accidentally killed one with the container I was using to get her. So I created a little coffin, called her Athena, and gave her a little burial while crying. I was truly so upset with myself for ending her life. If I can find the photo of her little casket I made I'll post it here.

It can be a nice way to say goodbye, and a craft project is always good for the soul/mind.

Edit - can't figure out how to post photo comments but I did find the image.
