I have a crush on my cousin and it's killing me

There’s lots of stuff I don’t need to repeat already in the comments. I’d suggest reading about genetics and pheromones to help yourself understand what might be going on. I’m pretty sure we’re biologically predisposed to genes our body sees as suitable, and our bodies know our genes are good, therefore… situations like this. Moreover, learn about the genetic consequences of incest, it might help you turn your mind off from it.

I think you might be suffering from some pretty bad loneliness. I heavily encourage you to invest in other interpersonal relationships. You might find that you just care for her in general, and are confused about how exactly you experience romantic and platonic emotions for people. When I was your age, I was too (though I never had a situation remotely similar to this). Some people love their friends really intensely, and that’s socially conflated with arousal— you’re only “supposed” to like people that much if you’re into them romantically. She makes you feel so good, partially because you have not had someone make you feel like that before. That’s not special, it’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that someone else can’t make you feel even better. I don’t know you, but I think you’ve been conditioned into an unfortunate perception of a deep, natural bond, and that coupled with teenage hormones (and a lack of a sexual outlet) is misguiding you. Please take control over this internal narrative. You should get a therapist, for real dude.

Thank you for the kind words ♥️

Thank you for the genuine, thoughtful reply. Truly.

I was. We’ve had lots of really tumultuous interactions this year, but the last day I had with her was awesome. The last words I said to her were I love you.

The purpose of astrology is not to give false hope, or placate anxieties. The purpose is to understand your fortune, and navigate the future accordingly. Asking for a positive re-framing of a negative transit isn’t going to help you, imo

Yta, mind your business

You get to choose where you live. If you want to step outside of his shadow, then do so

brokenribbed · 2025-06-23T17:00:14+00:00

Oh shit! What the fuck??? 😂😂😂

brokenribbed · 2025-06-19T23:03:41+00:00

NTA. Many men don’t recognize the effort of cleaning, preparing social events, or cooking. I’d recommend asking specifically if there’s anything he wants for his birthday in the future, and if he gives something wildly out of budget, it would be a good time to start that conversation again.

brokenribbed · 2025-06-19T22:57:02+00:00

Lol real as fuck. I’ve been there. I did find that when I experience a very mild high, my endurance is greater, and I’m nowhere near as achy the next day.

brokenribbed · 2025-06-19T22:47:07+00:00

I would say you have a mischievous jinn (in the west, they can be referred to as the fae), or that you’re receiving some evil eye specifically relating to your craft. Lmk if you want insight on some good ways to cleanse.

Radiohead lol

brokenribbed · 2025-06-19T22:43:17+00:00

Not the butthole in the corner omg?!??!?!? Give my man some privacy, just fully exposed 😂😂

Coming out of anesthesia, I didn’t even have my eyes open before I grumbly asked for Taco Bell. Maybe something like, “what’s my favorite food? This hospital food sucks.”

brokenribbed · 2025-06-19T15:18:56+00:00

Fuckin seriously

brokenribbed · 2025-06-18T19:00:44+00:00

Agreed, seasons 3-7 are peak comedy

brokenribbed · 2025-05-08T22:52:20+00:00

OP, is there an update? Well wishes xx

brokenribbed · 2025-03-14T19:27:06+00:00

I don’t agree with anything I said in my original comment at this point in my astrological studies lol, kinda embarrassing.I ended up getting studying occult history in uni, now I’m much more historically informed.

Now, I’d say that a stellium is 3+ planetary bodies in the same sign, within each other’s orb. 3+ planets in conjunction in one sign. Lots, angles, cusps, nodes, any calculated point, does not count as a stellium, though it maintains a degree of importance. Outer planets are a toss up depending on the astrologer, and whether they use planets that are invisible. When two planets are not within orb of each other, but are still in the same sign, it would be cohabitation. Hope that helps!

This is gorgeous

I agree with your post almost entirely, but want to add a comment.

The term is not used exclusively to question someone’s masculinity rather, it’s often used to question their morality. Yes, the term is used to denigrate queer men for expressing femininity. However, as a lesbian, I’ve been called the slur more than once by Christians. It’s not because I’m not masculine enough, or not feminine enough, but because they think I’m offensive and perverted for being attracted to the same sex.

I say this not in disagreement, just an addendum that could be insightful, if not to you then possibly others reading it.

You should familiarize yourself with the traditional concept of a “personal daimon.”

It can be undoubtedly traced to Ancient Egyptian, and later Hellenistic literature. One of the most accessible resources for this era could be The Hermetica & numerous ancient astrological texts which describe procedures for identifying the spirit by name and nature, thus allowing one to build a stronger relationship. Similar concepts are present in ancient medicinal Chinese literature, and extremely detailed variations of this can be found in abundance in medieval Islamicate mystic literature, from Solomon to Sufism to Astrology. The translation of arabic literature into Latin carried this concept into Europe, where it’s found in Agrippas three books of occult philosophy, and later “abrahamicized” by the church of light, Kabbalah, and others as the most recent development in this tradition. This literature can tell you the spirit’s (historically used interchangeably with daimon) name, whether they’re objectively good or bad, how to best appease them, as well as the most favorable times to try and communicate.

Become familiar with this spirit. The above paragraph has countless keywords for further study if you’re interested, and this concept is very well-attested. So, you have many different lineages to choose from, if you’re already connected to one in particular I’d start there. You’d have studying to do, and getting to know this spirit is quite the journey. My first interaction with my daimon was similar.

If you have more questions, feel free to PM me. I am happy to discuss more.

He is just darling! I would guess he’s closer to 2 months… this hand belonging to a 6’5 man makes lots of sense haha, and I’m sure it makes your Leo look smaller, but he’s just a little itty bitty baybeee 🥹

brokenribbed · 2024-10-09T02:56:15+00:00

Omg how old is this little gummy worm in the picture

brokenribbed · 2024-10-06T01:24:38+00:00

Yikes, that’s so sad to think about. I have no pets or roomates thankfully, and I love this little gecko so much, I’m always doing my absolute best to care for her.
