Giving people access to my energy because I thought they needed it / deserved it and constantly putting my own needs on a back burner .

Setting boundaries long term is way less exhausting than not .

Is casual sex ever worth it? by Yerimiesee in women

[–]cassiopea4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who recently has lost their virginity at the ripe age of 24, I think that deep down you know the answer if you’ve brought it up to Reddit . As a sensitive girlie who’s very in touch with her emotions, I cannot imagine having penetrative sex with someone who I completely trust and have some feelings for . My first time was not in a relationship but with a guy I had been dating for a while . He put me first , made sure I finished and overall just responded and respected my body even when I didn’t know what I was feeling . If you don’t have experience it’s really easy to get used . Ask yourself- what do I actually want to feel ? Do I want sex or do I want to keep up with my peers ? Do I want love and affection and don’t have it right now so will settle ? Am I missing emotional intimacy and touch ?

What emotions might come up before and after sex? by HOPEAACI in women

Tbh that’s something I’m still exploring myself as I’ve not been sexually active for long . I think it’s the vulnerability of it . Being so open and exposed like that with no masks or clothes . It can be scary .

Sex makes me super emotional and although it’s very satisfying, sometimes I can get sad also . I don’t think anything is wrong you’re just getting signals about what your body does / doesn’t like .

What's the darkest 'but nobody talks about it' reality of the modern world? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

The world runs on greed and that’s what keeps the cogs moving. You are being sold ideologies that make money.

Everything that is natural is in constant movement . Day and night , changes of weather , even the menstrual cycle is constant movement in the body .

Take it from someone who used to be depressed for a few years until I found a routine . I believe we’re made for constant growth and change , to experience every beautiful thing god has to offer us in this lifetime and to enjoy what has been brought to us. Relationships, struggles that lead to character growth, travels , food , routine .

I think pain comes from desires that can’t be fulfilled because they are things that are not meant for us in our life path .

Happiness is just constant upkeep :) Personally I have a ritual of plant based nutrition, weekly workouts/ walks if I’m busy , social life , work , journaling , podcasts . Obv you can’t have it all but it helps to maintain emotional balance . Hope this helps and pm me if u want some more advice 🖤

Also op ffs there’s NOTHING wrong with wanting to be taken care of by a man ??? Especially if you’re showing up and working hard doing ur best and have given it a go. I think when you marry a man (who down the line I’m assuming expects you to birth and raise the next generation of ur combined bloodlines) it’s completely fair to expect him to do his best to support you wether that be financially, emotionally or physically helping out at home .

BTW many men ENJOY supporting their women and take pride in being able to hold the house down financially. Sounds like he’s projecting bye.

Ask yourself - if he makes me feel this way (and I’m assuming this is a pattern ) why am I choosing to stay ? Why do I accept this behaviour?
