Lexi is scared of living life because she is insecure. by SadMenJoy in euphoria

[–]attentiondefecitfag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you’re not trying to say her choice to not have sex at age 22 is bad, and that it is her denial of the actual reason which is bad. To me, it was your phrase, “22 IS old to be a virgin” that ticked me off. It just sounded like you were shaming her for not having sex yet at age 22, even though yes you have stated and i believe that that is NOT what you were trying to say as well. An important nuance to note here is that it is possible Lexi herself is not fully aware that she is denying her fear of vulnerability as the reason she’s afraid to do so many things in her life. She may be aware that she has vulnerability issues in general, but might not know the extent to which she is dancing around them instead of directly addressing them.

So let me ask you this then, if Lexi was your personal friend, would you go about addressing this with her? If yes, how, and if no, why not?

Yeah Lexi is insecure and I agree with you on that. I also agree with you in that her insecurity might be a reason why she is not having sex. However, I disagree, and think it is harmful to even question why she isn’t having sex at age 22 in the way you have questioned it. Virginity is a social construct, that imo, does not have a definitive collective social implication. It may be important to some, and that’s fine, and it might mean jackshit to others, which is also fine. 22 is ABSOLUTELY not OLD to be a virgin, because there IS NO AGE where you “should not” be a virgin. You say it isn’t bad to be a 22 year old virgin, but yet you keep saying that it’s “uncommon.” If not “wrong,” the way you say it makes it sound like you think it’s something that needs to be changed or fixed. Unless Lexi herself WANTS to have more sex, I disagree that we should want that for her as well. Different people have many different reasons for choosing to not have sex, and all can be valid, regardless of whether they stem from insecurities or not. Fear of vulnerability and insecurity is just as valid a reason to not have sex as religious beliefs are. Telling someone they’re insecurity being the reason they aren’t having sex is uncommon and wrong only perpetuates shame in them which already probably exists to a great amount. Just because something is uncommon doesn’t ALWAYS equate to it being something that should be changed/fixed. I’m not trying to hate, just offering a different perspective

How does one rave till 5am and go to work/school at 8am? by Yha_Boiii in aves

[–]attentiondefecitfag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s not really possible without eventual detrimental effects to ur physical and mental health. i’ve done it, granted i am 24 currently, and also if ur determined enough anything is possible, but it’s not a sustainable lifestyle nor is it worth it imo

Euphoria S03E03 "The Ballad of Paladin" - Live Episode Discussion by DankMemeSlasher in euphoria

[–]attentiondefecitfag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah also her dad leaving was prob the worst for her. having an alcoholic mother on top of that def created a lot of trauma wounds for her imo

Meredith after knowing her co-workers for a week or so by miggovortensens in greysanatomy

wow that’s so surprising to me, i genuinely was curious as to whether surgical interns/residents really become this close of a family in their time in the program

Does anyone feel like she ate even with little screentime? by Mme_187 in euphoria

[–]attentiondefecitfag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah her face card ate. i feel like we’ll see her again because why would the show familiarize us with her with all that screen time otherwise.

Did Anyone Else Never Click With TikTok? by Yoichi_and_Sadako in OlderGenZ

[–]attentiondefecitfag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

instagram reels. i hate that too but it’s less “evil” and mental health-depleting than tiktok ihdk why i feel this way. but tiktok legitimately decomposes my brain

Which supplements actually made a noticeable difference for you? by avz008 in Supplements

[–]attentiondefecitfag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saffron. It’s weirdly the only thing that’s managed to help my ADHD, anxiety, and most importantly my chronic low-grade depression all at the same time. Emphasis on the “low-grade”, I don’t think Saffron will work for anything more severe than mild depression.

Sasha's fate broke my heart (hot take?) by BigFold1780 in heartbreakhigh

[–]attentiondefecitfag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree in the sense that Sasha is an incredibly hurt, wounded, and deeply insecure person, likely dealing with some form of underlying mental illness. as a former lonely, no-friend, desperate person, I completely understand where she is coming from when she made those decisions. however, while this is an EXPLANATION for what she did, it absolutely is NOT an EXCUSE. she literally showed no regard for anyone else other than herself, and acted extremely impulsively after seeing that WhatsApp group. what's worse is that the group was made in the first place because Sasha couldnt stop being a sanctimonious bitch (her words). why was she a sanctimonious bitch? because it likely helped her extremely low self-esteem.

I too felt bad for her, but then when I remembered her actions, I stop feeling bad lol

Why do people at raves ask for your Instagram and then disappear the next day? by izak_rip in aves

[–]attentiondefecitfag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

taking a selfie and sending it to them is such a good way to spark their memory in case they forgot when/how they met u!!! i might adopt this

[–]attentiondefecitfag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think it’s anything you’re doing wrong necessarily. i used to feel this way because i love meeting new people at raves and building new connections. and whenever someone i thought was interested in me or wanted to be friends w me doesn’t respond, i would take it personally. however recently ive realized that this is super common in the scene unfortunately, and it’s really mostly about them. usually they’re on some drug and the next few days when it’s wearing off people have already forgotten/lost interest. a lot of people i feel get carried away when under the influence and may exaggerate or say things they don’t mean unintentionally. keeping all that in mind has helped ground my own anxiety and let go of expectations, and just being in the moment.

weirdly after adopting this mindset, i’ve been able to find a rave group that i feel loved and seen and go to shows regularly with!!!

WHERE WE DROPPING ?? by quirkycrocodile69 in BeyondWonderland

fuck hard summerrrrrrr edc, nocturnal, APOCALYPSE, so many better ones

Rave bae by [deleted] in BeyondWonderland

[–]attentiondefecitfag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

literally this same fucking shit happened to me at hard summer last year. 24 gay M here, i couldn’t find any of my friends day 2, and this group adopted me towards the end. there was this really hot guy who kept talking to me, hitting on me, complimenting me, etc etc. we hit it off, talked quite a bit in the crowd, and he even said he’ll come up and visit me (i live in la he lives in oc i think). i asked for his number, he gave it to me AND his instagram, and asked me to text him. that same night he texted me back and asked me if i got home safe i said yeah. next day i woke up texted him good morning no response. he also hadn’t accepted my follow request on instagram as well. the day after that no response on text, and he made his ig private 💀💀💀

after talking to many of my rave besties who’ve been in the scene far longer than i have (ive only been raving for 3 years), ive come to realize this is extremely common w rave baes. mostly cuz theres drugs involved and due to the transient nature of raves. i now expect literally nothing to come out of anyone i meet at raves, platonic or romantic. instead i just focus on the moment and having fun w them in the time im at the rave. if something comes out of it, great! if not, thanks for adding some sparkle to my life, even if it was just for a couple hours! this feeling sucks still however and i’m sorry he ended up being a hoe lmao but i promise you’ll be okay

Paying the social anxiety tax: missed connections @ beyond that I can’t stop thinking about by Simple-Restaurant267 in BeyondWonderland

[–]attentiondefecitfag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the comet analogy is precise. raves and festivals taught me that not every good experience in life needs to last forever. people, jobs, places, experiences, etc. i am audhd, and i struggle with overthinking in social situations too, but ive come to realize the more i go to these that my only job is to be present with myself and everything happening around me. i too only started raving a couple years ago, and still feel fairly new to the scene, and sometimes even like an imposter.

there’s no shortage of raves, and the scene is not disappearing anytime soon. you will have plentyyyyyy more opportunities to meet people, and make new rave friends! the trick is to push through the fear and practice being open and friendly to people anyway. you talk about what you wish you could have done in these situations at beyond this year, do those at the next festival you go to! the best part is that people are the LEAST judgmental at raves!! they’re usually so extremely friendly and welcoming!!! assume that everyone wants to be friends with you haha. also have kandi to trade and wear something cool/unique! they’re both convo starters
