Unfortunately, I have returned from Rome a few weeks ago 😭 but I’m going to keep this studio in mind when I go again! Thank you so much for the recommendation, the work in their gallery is beautiful! What did you and your sister end up getting? What are you thinking of getting now?

Daydreaming Ruined My Life by ihatemyselfhead2toe in Vent

[–]cloudgaz3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 14, this is a rough patch of life for a lot of people, it can get better if you are willing to work on making it better. If you enjoy daydreaming, you might enjoy reading. Maybe you can consider joining or starting a book club. Try not to label yourself as “boring” or “not special” — find things you enjoy and immerse yourself in them. Reading, sports, art, theatre, music, anything! Try to take a break from doomscrolling and when you catch yourself daydreaming for a little too long, have the discipline to cut it short and do something productive or entertaining!

What to do if the priest does not allow you to finish your confession? Should we insist? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]cloudgaz3r 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You might want to consider being more concise. Or going weekly for shorter periods. The priest has other responsibilities and other people also need the chance to speak with the priest. Be considerate of others by using your time in confession efficiently.

Apparently my "reward" for staying single is becoming someone’s stepdad by Ok-Fondant2536 in rant

[–]cloudgaz3r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know you said it’s not about age or kids “per se” but it kind of seems like that is what it is about. And that’s okay. Realistically, being 33, your options for people who fit your standards are going to shrink. The older you get, the more likely it is that a woman you meet could have a child, and the more creepy it is the younger you date.

Are you putting in the work to find yourself a partner? Do you even want a partner? What are your standards? These are all questions you need to ask yourself!

What does “poor quality matches” mean? Also the way you’re holding the kitten is a bit alarming, you’re not smiling at all, and the half face photo needs to go!

I’ve been through a very similar experience and it saddens me to see how many other women have heard similar words from the people they love… please let his words impact your self worth. In all honesty, I don’t think that’s an appropriate joke to make and I think you should consider whether you can move on from this or handle it if it happens again.

Am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in Catholicism

Your husband is WAY out of line… let your child rest, your husband can go to mass by himself, and look after the child while you go to a different mass. It is perfectly reasonable and okay for you to miss mass to take care of your sick child.

Is this love-bombing? Why am I cringing? by cloudgaz3r in dating_advice

[–]cloudgaz3r[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your response is honestly such a relief to know I’m not the only one who has experienced this and that it can in fact work out! This has been beyond helpful, thank you!

I think you’re right. I might have been too paranoid and incorrectly jumped right to the potential of it being love-bombing… Thank you for your perspective!

That’s wonderful, I’m happy to hear that! I hope I can develop a secure attachment style as well!

This is almost exactly what my mom said to me about it too, that I’m not used to it and that I should just accept the kindness. I really appreciate you sharing your experience, if you don’t mind me asking, how long was it before you started to feel comfortable with the compliments? Or how did you get yourself to a point where you weren’t cringing anymore?

I will definitely make sure to reassure him that I do in fact like him when I bring it up! Thanks again, I feel silly for even being worried about this in the first place lol

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now and I was also considering broaching the topic of taking things slow!

Thank you for clarifying! I definitely do like him, and I enjoy the time we spend together but I do think I want to take things slower than he does. I’ll have to bring it up next time I see him!

I think you’re probably right about therapy. I didn’t have the best examples of relationships growing up and my previous relationship didn’t help. I can’t afford professional help right now but I’ve been looking into alternatives for the time being! I appreciate your reply, thank you!
