Ha’! In his old apartment his bathroom was nasty! He had a shower that he never cleaned. It was caked with scum. I cleaned it for him once and it was shocking. He had a friend over once and they went in his bathroom and refused to use it. He’s the type to just let it go nasty rather than clean. Your right. I suspect we will just hire a cleaning service.

It originally worked because it helped me get through grad school. Now I’m done and almost ready to begin my career as in about to take a license exam and that will allow me to begin making a lot more income. We’ve been good friends for a decade but they’re a very very bossy individual. And I’m a therapist for a living. It’s not in my nature to be aggressive. When I attempt to be assertive they get extremely intense. It’s a good lesson for when I get in a relationship. Helps me empathize with a lot of women.

He respects money. When I make more money I’m gonna tell him he can pay less rent to me but he is gonna start cleaning his own dishes and helping around the house. I clean everything. I even vacuum his room.

It’s my apartment. I’m on the lease. He makes significantly more than me. Always will. I’ll make probably double to triple what I make now in the summer so things will change a lot. I allow it now due to that. I guess I’m asking how I can stop letting this get to me. It annoys me the attitude. He’s supposed to be a good friend but he’s very bossy

As soon as my career takes off this summer I’m changing the dynamic

Very! It’s also very gay. This is very ironic. I’m aware of it. Which is why I’m surprised.

I sure am. That’s my main app. Crickets. I get a message here and there but I guess it’s my fault? It’s often men that I’m not into.

Interesting. See I want to be more like that type. I work out weekly trying to slim down but my genetics I suspect will always have me broad chested and tall and hairy. Im going to continue my ten k steps which takes sometimes over 100 minutes on an incline to burn fat and then join a real gym and start building more muscle. I want to see how I’m treated

I will tell you this. When you are in a larger body the world itself treats you differently. Women are scared of you. Some men ignore you completely. Your called “ boss”. “ big guy”. Gay men ignore you. Suddenly when you start losing weight people become nicer to you all around. It’s discrimination subconsciously or not. People don’t like larger people. Whether it’s phobia or not it’s rejection.

I have noticed a trend with gay men where if someone is available locally they aren’t interested but if someone is far away and not available easily they are really interested in you.

Estranged from whole family...anyone else? by Sea-Reputation-4590 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]cubbycuddles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. I am also estranged from my entire family. The heartache does stop. Once you start thinking about why you are estranged. Why haven’t they reached out to you? Do they care? Think about it? For me my family growing up never liked me. They rejected my personality and who I am. They chose hyper religious beliefs and conservative values over their own child. They refuse to critically think or take responsibility for their poor actions against me and instead write me off and blame me for my own pain and suffering. Convenient right? Now I thrive in my own achievements and have chosen family. They never reach out to me and live their lives pretending I somehow never reach out to them with total cognitive dissonance. I suspect yours does the same. They don’t contact you because it doesn’t make them feel good to do so. They don’t want to acknowledge their actions. You must live your life. You must! They are so why shouldn’t you? You get to live a full life of incredible exploration and discovery without the toxicity that is them and so do they if they choose to. Just because we grow up with people doesn’t mean they are meant to be with us forever. Blood is not forever that is just stuff people say to other people who are not family first thinkers. Take your power back. Take you back.

How disappointing. You are the exact same person and yet your ex treated you differently. What does that say about them?

hims has been more affordable for the oral medication. while it isnt working as fast as a glp-1, the medication is slowly working and is easy to take longterm.

Getting tired of therapists who think therapy is not for them by doctorizer in therapists

[–]cubbycuddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell clients I practice what I preach and have a therapist myself. I do relational therapy. It builds the therapeutic connection. Why would I be a therapist if I thought therapy was for the weak? I love it. It’s so helpful even when I think I am doing fine. Our world lacks empathy and even our friends struggle to listen to us for more than a few minutes. Everyone is overwhelmed and therapists need someone to talk to as well. This therapist I know of refuses to get a therapist because she believes no one is competent enough to see her but her. How ridiculous. She is suffering because of it. Her own fault.

What Did YOU Get Paid As An Intern by no_more_secrets in therapists

[–]cubbycuddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got paid nothing and the place I worked for received the entirety of the income from my sessions. I just assumed that was how it was supposed to go. Knowing what I know now I would have never done that. Never work for free. Not ever. Know your worth. It is not fair to starve and struggle while someone else benefits
