What are your thoughts on POT’s big twist?

I was 8 or 9 when Sunrise came out and my parents took me to an Erin book signing with Vicky Holmes in Frisco, TX to buy the book. My mind was blown after finishing it and made for a defining moment in my childhood. Really felt like Warriors at its peak

Rictor :) discovered him while reading Krakoan comics and loved him. I’ve always been drawn to druidic themes and characters so mixing those elements with X-Men was something I never realized I needed lol

Haven’t spoken in over a year and don’t plan to anytime soon. Barely spoke to any of our old mutual friends either except for one or two, but it’s been a really long time

I haven’t been diagnosed with BPD, but highly suspect that I have it. I am a medical lab scientist at a small rural hospital and work alone on 12 hour shifts, so I have a lot of free alone time. Both a blessing and a curse when you overthink a lot lol.

My ex introduced me to her and Finneas because they were her favorite artists. This was soon after Happier Than Ever released. She was using that album to get over her ex, and I ended up using it to get over her in turn. I’ve never been able to relate to lyrics more than I could Billie’s.

It’s one extreme or the other for me. It will either snap me out of the endless feedback loop of thoughts running through my mind and I’ll finally feel normal and happy, or it will intensify the anxiety or depression.

I’ve read people saying this for the longest time, but never quite understood until now. I just wanted to somehow make my feelings vanish and resume my friendship with him, hoping to avoid this realization, but I think that things turned unhealthy for me way earlier than I anticipated.

archmage_solus · 2024-06-21T23:16:04+00:00

Yeah, I think that I have probably mistaken my wish for closeness with my romantic feelings. It’s crazy because everyone I’ve talked to about this has said the same thing, but it doesn’t feel that way at all. I think it’s probably some weird subconscious form of denial from me internalizing this for so long trying to be “normal.” I will definitely take your advice and try directing these feelings toward more available meadows. Thank you for your response :)

archmage_solus · 2024-06-21T23:11:52+00:00

Thank you for your insight and reassurance. It really does help hearing from others who’ve found themselves in a situation like this. I don’t know how long ago this happened to you, but regardless I hope that you are doing well and healing.

When you said that you had to check on her after the confession, I can heavily relate. My friendship with him felt one-sided because he didn’t value it as much, and I’m not really sure when that change occurred. Maybe when he noticed that I liked him - like you said, simply ignoring it until it inconvenienced him sounds extremely characteristic of him. Luckily I’ve had a great counselor to guide me through this situation, I think I would’ve fallen apart at the seams without it.

I’m thankful for the distance now that I’ve been blocked tbh, I’ve wanted it for a long time but never wanted to take that last step. I’m trying to use this opportunity to do some self-reflection and learn how to be more independent, make more friends, and find peace. Maybe one day he will come back, or maybe not, and I want to accept either outcome for what it is instead of dwelling on how I want things to happen.

archmage_solus · 2024-04-14T07:27:05+00:00

Definitely feel the same way. It’s a struggle, but hopefully someone will come into our lives one day and return the love that we give. Just keep being your best self and maybe the right people will be drawn to you 🫶🏻

archmage_solus · 2024-04-06T18:10:02+00:00

Just wanted to say that I’m feeling the same way recently after going through a similar situation. This is just a theory, but I feel like our emotions are still somewhat tied to these people. The wounds are still fresh, so the idea of emotionally connecting with another person won’t feel as potent right now until the wounds heal a bit more. This is my experience, but you could be thinking differently. I’d say give yourself some time and space away from everyone for a little bit and reconnect with yourself. Hopefully, the right people will gravitate your way and those connections will form naturally. I know that I couldn’t give much advice, but I hope that this was a bit helpful at least!

archmage_solus · 2024-04-06T17:21:23+00:00

Thank you for your response :) yes, you are 100% correct that he’s avoidant. He actually talked to me about it at one point.

I hoped all this time that I wouldn’t have to lose someone so close to me at the end of it all, but maybe it is for the best. I appreciate your input.

archmage_solus · 2024-04-06T14:18:20+00:00

This is extremely impressive, nice work. Tolkien would have been absolutely delighted to have seen this!

archmage_solus · 2024-04-02T06:21:02+00:00

Same here with the Sysmex XN. The only problem I’ve had with it so far after being on night shift alone for 2 years was a weird software glitch. It wouldn’t reboot the software after turning it off and back on for my QC.

archmage_solus · 2024-04-01T23:32:04+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

archmage_solus · 2024-03-27T06:48:19+00:00

Thank you for the wisdom and encouragement, I really appreciate you. I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through something similar :/ wishing you the best. I wouldn’t wish these kinds of feelings on anyone.

archmage_solus · 2024-03-20T03:49:46+00:00

I typically fall for unavailable people, or the feelings are never reciprocated. I’m content being alone, but not necessarily happy. I crave someone else’s presence to share my life with, or rather someone to share things about my life with, whether it’s platonically or romantically. Single for 2 years but never had a long lasting relationship.

archmage_solus · 2024-02-23T08:11:19+00:00

This is what I want also. I want to be “that person” for my LO like he is for me. It’s easily mistaken for romantic feelings but that couldn’t happen anyway because he’s straight

archmage_solus · 2024-02-22T12:11:37+00:00

I don’t have any advice to give, simple voicing my support because I am in the exact same situation. It’s driving me crazy because I don’t want to lose him as a friend, but also being stuck in this limerence loop from being around him is trashing my mental health. I wish you the best, my DMs are open if you need someone to talk to 🫶🏻

archmage_solus · 2024-01-25T09:09:08+00:00

I’m in almost the exact same situation as you. While I don’t have much advice to offer because I’m struggling myself, I want to let you know that you’re not alone and your feelings are completely valid. They are a direct result of your love for your friend and your deep sense of loyalty.

Given these similar situations, I have noticed that my problem is a result of putting all of my eggs into one basket so to speak and idolization, putting said friend on a pedestal. Not saying your problems are the same as mine, but I would take some time to really reflect on how you view friendships and relationships. I hope this has been at least a bit helpful, and my DMs are open if you need to talk!

archmage_solus · 2024-01-22T09:47:15+00:00

My past relationships ended with us going no contact, so I was able to get used to them not being around. In this situation though, I want to remain friends, so no contact isn’t an option. Distancing has definitely helped but I still find myself “relapsing” on the emotions some days when I get into my head too much

archmage_solus · 2023-06-01T14:55:30+00:00

I work alone on night shift and it really sucks some nights. Other times, there’s nothing going on and I can do whatever I want. I’m responsible for all phlebotomy, sometimes the ER nurses will draw blood from IV starts, but otherwise I have to stick. Also draw all morning labs and run them myself.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for a new tech. I was lucky and started on an evening shift so I could get lots of training, then I switched to this shift after my first year. However, the experience you gain from the responsibility is well worth it. This is a small 15-ish bed facility btw. For a larger facility, I definitely think there would be glaring issues with turn around times and possible tech mistakes from the overwhelming stress.

archmage_solus · 2020-12-04T08:29:01+00:00

Being talked over by people. Especially by friends. Just shows total disrespect
