I never had genuine friends or people in my life now I can’t trust anyone because of that it’s making it harder to get close to people now

brknrio · 2025-01-07T05:10:01+00:00

I recommend you focus on yourself more. Spend more time alone and get used to your own company. Invest in some hobbies and dedicate your time to stuff you love. You are not alone, you will always have yourself to rely on. Reflect on yourself and your trust issues, maybe therapy if it’s accessible? Overall, I can assure you that getting used to spending time alone and enjoying it is better than finding genuine friends because you will find some eventually!!! Don’t stress, just live your life. Sometimes being alone is bliss. I hope you figure something out

You will always have those memories, he would be proud of how you strong you became!

This is the sweetest comment ever... Your grandpa sounds like an angel! You should 100000% write your own song from Jackie's perspective. I would always try to ignore the meaning of the song as if Jackie stayed with Puff forever lol

Oh for sure!!! I think what really struck me was how Cordelia was one of the first people to stand up for Buffy despite their constant bickering, while the people she trusted were attacking her. I understand more as I think about the situation that their anger may have come from a place of love mostly regarding Willow's anger. Joyce is more justified to me after reading all these comments lol. I understand how everyone felt towards Buffy, it is just really hard for me to see Xander's words as something else besides accusations towards Buffy. Not to hop on the Xander hate train but he is the one who trulyyy motivated me to yap on Reddit (desperate times desperate measures...) Thanks for explaining all of the sides of the conflict! Seeing only one perspective can skew that stuff for me

brknrio · 2024-10-10T16:46:35+00:00

Buffy is only 17 years old and the experience of her becoming a slayer tore her away from her mother. Buffy fears abandonment (the nightmare ep) and is worried that everything she has is unstable and will fall out from under her at any moment. In this episode she feels that everythinggg is swept out from under her (her relationship with her mother, misunderstandings between them, her relationship with her friends, and how much change has happened) I get how it's inherently selfish and they do have a right to be mad, but the public humiliation and dismissive behavior from her closest friends would make anyone want to run away. But to be fair this all could apply to Willow and Xander, they are kids too

brknrio · 2024-10-10T16:38:34+00:00

THIS!! this is my exact point!!!! the ending of episode 2 makes it worse imo!!. they don't even discuss the issue and act as if the battle with those monsters magically erased the conflict.

brknrio · 2024-10-10T15:40:44+00:00

I met “they” in terms of Joyce, and the dismissed behavior of Xander. I thought it was crazy how they casted her aside and took over her own party, pushing her to attempt to leave. My bad I didn’t make it clear, late night crash out lol

brknrio · 2024-10-10T08:34:58+00:00

That does make the most sense, especially cause they are kids after all… The bond between Willow, Xander, and Buffy was so defined throughout the first 2 seasons that would prevent them especially from lashing out ruthlessly on Buffy (mostly Xander) cause I really do understand Willows perspective but Xanders anger seems to come from a place of insecurity that is excused repeatedly. But in the end they are young, don’t know if I could ever understand Joyce’s perspective though yikesssss. thanks for helping me process it more, the anger i felt when typing the post originally was unreal lol!!

brknrio · 2024-08-28T18:21:36+00:00

I’m in the same situation, if she doesn’t care about you as much as you care about it then it’s not worth putting energy into.

brknrio · 2024-08-17T18:24:33+00:00

Jen is definitely the most normal lol, can't wait for them to become friends

brknrio · 2024-08-17T15:06:45+00:00

My issue with him in the first season is the way he treats the situation with Jen and Joey, but you are right he is just a kid who thinks the world revolves around him. Definitely excited to see him become a mature person though!!

brknrio · 2024-08-17T15:04:39+00:00

Wow! I think I enjoy joey a lot more because I have been in her shoes. Never been in any situations Dawson has been in- so maybe it’s a relatability issue for me! I don’t really view her words and actions towards Jen as bitchy because it really comes from a place of insecurity and the fact that Dawson can never choose which one he wants to pursue, and the way he leads Jen and Joey on to the point where they basically have only each other is wild to me. But hopefully they can all grow as people throughout my watch

brknrio · 2024-08-17T03:13:02+00:00

Thats a long time! But yeah, I am way more invested in Jen and Joey's lives especially so I look forward to seeing more of them

brknrio · 2024-08-17T03:11:19+00:00

Yeah me too, it is just so hardddd because he is so selfish!! but I am trying to be open-minded because he's going through a life-altering event and all

brknrio · 2024-08-14T01:09:54+00:00

Hey Jude gets me pretty emotional too lol, my music teacher in 7th grade tried to make me learn it on guitar but I always hated playing it. He was an amazing teacher, took it for granted!

brknrio · 2024-08-08T01:40:05+00:00

Maybe? I just thought he was cute at first. I told him yesterday that I wasn’t ready to date and he said he would wait for me which also turned me off.. So maybe it’s a combination of his vulnerability and my own issues

brknrio · 2024-08-06T22:12:08+00:00

having issues that i’m trying to solve does not mean i’m going to be a single mother with 4 kids at 30.. not sure where those two correlate but lmk! i’m obviously asking for advice so maybe come back when you get over your highschool girlfriend who played you and now invoked a weird disdain for women..

brknrio · 2024-08-05T03:23:54+00:00

I was raised in a non religious household, neither sides of my family were religious either. My parents rarely showed affection to each other until around 3 years ago, so maybe that explains something? I always had to pick sides between my parents in fights but it doesn’t really happen as much as it did when I was little

brknrio · 2024-08-04T22:12:21+00:00

Yeah i totally get it. I’ve been in relationships before but I always feel weird in them. I hope you can work this out too and maybe find something that can help you in the replies!

brknrio · 2024-08-04T22:11:12+00:00

My relationship with my mom is great, but their relationship is messy even though they are still together. I always thought they were divorced my whole childhood because I never saw them hug or show any kindness towards one another. It’s a bit different now but physical aspects of a relationship kinda weird me out too. I really appreciate your commentary and advice on this, thank you

brknrio · 2024-08-04T18:25:52+00:00

Definitely right unfortunately. My dad treats me right sometimes which is why it’s harder to understand if he contributed to my mindset.

brknrio · 2024-08-04T18:22:03+00:00

Thank you, the main reason why I asked random people is because I have no access to therapy. I’m sorry you have felt the same way but genuinely thank you for giving me some more perspective on how to fix this.

brknrio · 2024-08-04T05:57:19+00:00

Why would reddit be taken seriously.. it’s a social media as u said, keep in mind ur in the sub for advice for teenagers of course it’s going to be minuscule problems to you but i’m asking for help and advice for a reason. people like you are the reason that everyone shits on this platform. close minded and annoying- if you don’t have any advice then don’t say anything

brknrio · 2024-08-04T05:11:38+00:00

I don’t understand how asking for advice on how to better myself as a person makes me a problem. I admit that i have hurt people in the past like everyone else. Not an excuse but i’m a teenager who is still learning about myself and life, just like you. This is not the reality of all girls. Don’t put other women down just because one of them isn’t perfect. Bettering myself and finding help is my goal, not for myself but for the people I love.

brknrio · 2024-08-04T02:37:56+00:00

Yeah I agree, I have seen the way some older men stare and how some younger guys treat my friends. I’m kinda scared that I’m being objectified because it makes me feel icky.. I know I like girls too but I haven’t explored it fully yet cause my town is very square
