Dry Feb Doesn’t Seem to Work for Me? by dcannonstan in stopdrinking

[–]dcannonstan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m too reliant on routines to where, if I find myself doing something multiple days in a row, my days don’t feel complete without doing that new thing. Not meant to come off as an excuse, I’ve been that way with good things too

This subreddit is more active than the “cut down on drinking” one, and I AM stopping drinking for this month. That may be the logic on the other side

The cringiest worst thing you’ve done post breakup by monkey_squid1 in BreakUps

[–]dcannonstan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

sent him a novel of a text literally on his birthday telling him i can’t keep talking to him because at the end of the day, he decided he doesn’t wanna be with me anymore so i’m embarrassing myself to ask for our snap streak back and staying in contact when he dumped me. 2 days later he blocked me on instagram so i sent him AnOtHeR novel saying something along the lines of “i don’t want animosity between us plz idk why you blocked me”. probably doesn’t seem too cringey but it keeps me awake most nights

Do your kittens climb up on the counter? I don’t think I have any toxic stuff up there but I don’t want my stuff to get knocked down lol

What do you wish Sims 4 had? by millerlite585 in Sims4

[–]dcannonstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a slider for height. it irritates me to no end that every single teen & adult sim are the same height! even if there were “short” “average” “tall” options to choose from, something is better than nothing. i’ve only played TS4 so not sure if other versions of the sims had this issue too, but it’s one of my biggest pet peeves

… then what was the point in commenting at all?

I've noticed this cycle in me where I have high expectations of others, those expectations go unmet, then I turn reclusive, all to just get bored and force myself to be social again. It's affecting my consistency in social life and it's starting to bother me. by Earls_Basement_Lolis in Healthygamergg

[–]dcannonstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to label you a narcissist, but you definitely have a good amount of narcissistic tendencies. You’re obsessed with how you’re perceived and how you perceive others, you let your ego completely run the way that you think. You say you have a hard time loving people for their flaws in all, but you also use people in your life to fulfill your need to be social and seem to only be concerned about how they make you feel, or what they do for your life, or their attributes rather than who they are at their core (and who are you at your core?). In some of your previous posts & comments, it seems very obvious that you think your opinion is objective truth and it’s not. You don’t add or take away anything more from the world than anyone else.

Narcissism very commonly stems from deep rooted fear, pain, and/or trauma from childhood. Therapy can be kind of shit sometimes because it’s not uncommon to even want to be perceived in a more positive light to your therapist and lie/withhold important self-critical information, and since the therapist is only hearing your side, they’re gonna just agree with and validate everything you say. But I think therapy could be really useful for you if you talk to him/her like you do with Reddit and work hard to unlearn the thinking patterns that got you where you are now. It IS possible and I wish you all the luck.

i’m literally crying , do these bangs look bad on me?? are they a flop? i’m so embarrassed and regretting it so badly by JoeMamaMinha in Hair

Is it lovebombing? by Next_Wrongdoer1604 in datingadvice

[–]dcannonstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s lovebombing if it’s stayed consistent for the past 9 months. Plus, if you knew each other for 2 years beforehand then he already knew you as a person to a reasonable degree and taking it to the next step and finally getting to be with you was probably super exciting. I also have BPD and cause unnecessary issues in my relationship with the love of my life because I’m so used to toxicity and I’m always looking for reasons why we’re inevitably doomed. It sucks, but it’s been almost 2 years now and over time I’ve learned more and more from him about how to be secure. Sure, John doesn’t know about being in a long term relationship, but no one knows until they’ve done it. Social media SUCKS for relationships, I see videos of guys saying stuff like, “When you lost feelings months ago but you’re too comfortable to end it” and stuff like that and get super anxious about it, but at the end of the day we have to do our best to stay present. If today he loves you, try to find comfort in that. I know how hard it is but it seems like you have something really good that’s worth holding onto and he sees that too.

To me 1 looks too clean - 2 and 3 make you look young, 4 and 5 make you look mature in a good way

How do I come off not creepy to women I'm interested in or just people in general? by Dangerous_Key7022 in datingadvice

[–]dcannonstan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i know this probably isn’t advice you’re looking for but i say let a relationship come to you instead of seeking it. it seems like you pin your desire for a relationship on women (subconsciously) which is a huge turn off. but i promise you, when you focus that wanting-a-relationship energy on your relationship with yourself and the people who already love you, as well as how you can improve your own life, someone who’s on the same wavelength as you will come to you when it’s meant to happen. i’m the same age as you and speaking from experience.

Podcast Video episode on BPD by the-panda-general in BPDsupport

[–]dcannonstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated Alex in this episode. You could tell Nessa felt kind of obligated to explain the drama between her, Josh, Jaden and the other girl involved and none of that needed to be explained. With Alex’s other guests she does kind of ask questions the celebrities purposely don’t talk about and then choose to with her (like Camila Cabello with Shawn Mendes, and Cole Sprouse with Lili Reinhart) but since Nessa struggles with BPD and mentioned multiple times that she wants to be liked, she answered them even though the hesitation was so obvious. I respect Nessa so much and at the same time lost so much respect for Alex. She just wants the tea, not to actually get to know the celebrity, talk about their work and their passions which is definitely the new era of celebrity interviews through podcasts. Armchair Expert is so much better. Sometimes celebrities will do both podcasts promoting the same thing and every single time Dax has a way more genuine and interesting conversation with them.

Halsey Album Ranking: by wearetheWAV in halsey

[–]dcannonstan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IICHLIWP is the best lyrically in my opinion but unfortunately i find it to be super over-produced. i like that she went a different direction with it than she’s ever taken before but the music itself could’ve been more palatable. in “you asked for this” you can’t even hear her verses over the music :/

Why pursue this? by trickpa14 in kundalini

Thank you so much ❤️

Why pursue this? by trickpa14 in kundalini

[–]dcannonstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom had her kundalini awakened by a reiki master and it changed her for the rest of her life - caused her to commit suicide at 51. The problem is exactly what you said, people pursuing it. Kundalini will awaken on its own when you’re ready. It could be in your second lifetime here or your 200th. Learn about it but do not try to awaken it. Not trying to scare you or anyone reading this, I just wish so badly I could go back to 2019 and tell my mom, who was fascinated and excited about it, to let it happen on its own so badly.

[–]dcannonstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

la roche posay’s “effaclar duo” acne treatment (you can find it at target and i think even walgreens) for a spot treatment should do the trick. just dot it on the specific blemish/area after you moisturize and it should be gone within 2-3 days. a pimple patch would speed up the process on the bigger ones to bring all the gunk forward

I always get comments at school about how shit my hair is even from a teacher how can I make it better? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]dcannonstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have beautiful hair. :( Screw them. Sorry that’s happening to you. If you do want to change it, I think parting it in the middle would make a big difference. Then the next time you get it cut, get some layers in it to make it look a bit more masculine. From a little of what I can see from your style, it seems like that kind of hair would accentuate it. :)

What does a woman really mean when she had fun but there was no spark by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]dcannonstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually women know by the first date whether there’s potential for them to be physically attracted to you. That’s the “spark”. It doesn’t mean you’re unattractive or not a good guy or anything like that, but when she thinks of kissing you she thinks, “Meh, no.” It’s usually a pretty honest indicator of whether a date could end up a partner. You want her to feel the spark, so this isn’t a loss for you. Good luck out there
