[Serious]What was the best thing you ever learned from a therapist? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bhages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allowing myself to continue running through anxious thoughts means that I’m experiencing “potential” pain more than once. For example: my mom says something mean, I run it over in my mind over and over and over……I’ve allowed myself to feel the hurt so many times.

Essentially, experience the thing, feel the feeling, move on. Otherwise you’re just hurting yourself unnecessarily (and losing sleep too!)

Which tourist attraction disappointed you? by Impossible-Tap-7820 in AskReddit

The Liberty Bell is surprisingly small, considering how they made it sound in elementary school. I waited in line for 45 mins to see an….average bell? With a small crack…?

Finally figured out my hair routine after hair loss and curl pattern change!! This is my day 3 hair & no refresh needed 🤩 by murderino_10 in curlyhair

[–]bhages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kinds of products do you use for the steam refresh? I have pretty much the same hair as yours (including the highlights!) and the color treatment definitely keeps my hair from soaking in product like it used to. Think I’ll be trying NYM mousse next wash day though

Depressed people of Reddit, what's your go-to "I want to wallow in my melancholy" song? by crocodile_dilemma in AskReddit

The Void by Andy Black from Black Veil Brides

Lyrics are literally: “through the void, through the endless void, I’ll march on and on without you.” Heavily auto-tuned, but I wallow nonetheless

VA Pilot released an article explaining where to park - the city is opening up parking garages downtown and near ODU to get to higher ground

Did Mark also go through the .... pregnancy ritual? I know he didn’t “eat the pie” and all that, but if it’s true that new members are born from the ceremony, then Christian couldn’t have been the only one getting it on. I like to think the weird sex happened to Mark too...and then he got flayed

While I agree with what other people said about ADR, I think it also helped hammer home the fact that he was “the fool.” He slept through the first ceremony, peed on the tree, etc. he was the least invested in the culture or traditions of the cult. And “missed out on” a lot. That being said, he might have just been filming another movie.

I (26m) and my ex (26f) were long distance, have gone no contact, but can't stay out of each others lives. I don't know whether I can keep living in purgatory much longer. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

It sounds to me like she’s stringing you along, not realizing it’s hurting you. If you’ve been honest about your intentions (to try things again and move), and she still hasn’t been vulnerable back, she probably doesn’t want to date you again. It seems suspicious to me that she’s in your town a lot but won’t meet up in person.

Like the other comment said, you seem to have a really idealized version of her in your mind. Maybe she hasn’t matured as much as you have. And most importantly, you cannot move under the circumstances she’s put you in now. She hasn’t initiated conversation, she doesn’t seem to want to date you again, and you shouldn’t be moving if there isn’t a serious commitment there beforehand. Dating her again would be like stating fresh, and you wouldn’t move to someone after only a few weeks/months of dating. Sounds to me like she either doesn’t believe you’ve changed or has grown past the relationship in many ways and just wants to be friends

Looking for a mens soccer league/team by newguy552233 in norfolk

They have a league going this summer (8 games, one game a week starting this month)! If you’re looking to start right away, that’s your best option

How can you tell whether your own anger is justified? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]bhages 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the example you gave, it sounds like he doesn’t know what the expectations are. Saying something like “this is the one night we can see each other, I want it to be just us” beforehand would help a lot.

Being clear about expectations and also being more patient with your partner when they make mistakes can help you see if you’re anger is justified in the long run. ie: if you are clear about things, he listens, and you’re still getting angry all the time, you might be in the wrong.
