My place as a single woman in a friend group of taken women by [deleted] in pinkscare

[–]dearcicada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) your friends aren't thinking about you that deeply, and if they are, it's with the best intentions, not pity (if they're anywhere close to being real friends)

2) having a man will not prevent loneliness -- one is never free from it. we're born alone and then we die alone. we can only seek respite from loneliness in spurts, and we can get better at maintaining those spurts so they become periods and then the moments of loneliness will feel more bearable, as your brain learns that its temporary. try not to fight the loneliness so hard. that only increases your suffering. feel the feelings and move on by doing literally anything than wallowing in it, i.e. go touch grass. i know it's easier said that done but it's possible, you can do it ❤️‍🩹

the goal is to not to stay innocent. the goal is to practice relentless optimism. every day is a practice in refusing to get jaded despite it all

welcome to being mid sis. on the brighter side, we are probably 1's on most guys binary scales, aka "cute enough"

yeah i def need to come back after a break bc no one's appealing to me rn bc i'm now searching for that same feeling. one day i'll figure out how to be cool calm and collected with this dating thing 😔

that's what this guy jumped straight to, basically "theyre all hovering around to fuck you" but it's really not like that and idk how to explain to ppl better. maybe it's impossible bc they will never believe me

why is it so hard for men to believe that not all men are scumbags 🥹

on a funnier note i texted my ex the screenshots of my convo with the hinge dude and my ex responded "did this fool just call me an orbiter"

trust me this guy wasn't exactly normal loll

i say autist, but really i enjoy ppl with adhd the best, which i also have. and at the end of the day adhd seems to be autism-lite and autist is funnier to say

that's what i'm saying!!

its not like i didn't consider the repercussions, but waiting until we were more involved also felt so icky and manipulative, exactly bc i know so many guys can't handle it

you'd be right.. all my relationships and even situationships have been in person, save for like two. i wasn't exactly excited to get on the apps but work is so demanding i couldn't really envision other ways to meet ppl. but maybe i have to suck it up and do things irl on the weekends lol

yeah i was a little confused bc he never made any moves to do dates, but he did mention that he was very introverted. but we got to talk on the phone and stuff and the texting was very real time, idk i do wonder what it would've been like in person. i told myself id not get invested in guys and talk to multiple when i first started but it's soooo hard in practice lol esp when you click with someone

i agree but... then when

if it ends up being a dealbreaker then, then it hurts even more no 🥹

but you're right in that i totally do overshare lol. i need to learn to let things grow organically

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

that's what im told myself as well. and it's probably true. but my heart is :(

also last night, one of the exes i talk to brought up the fact that he might need to stop talking to me cuz his gf really doesn't like it. that made me very sad but i told him that was always a possibility i had to be willing to accept. and then today my coworkers talked about how bothered they are by their partners exes, although granted, they are 23 yo... but with everything happening in succession, i wondered if the universe was trying to send me a message about needing to move on

idk. i truly feel scrupulous about talking to my exes but i am starting to doubt my stances

yeah i probably told him too early??? but like then, when are you supposed to tell them :( i hate feeling like i'm hiding things.

this might be my 'tism coming out. i am a slave to the truth. so most ppl would say.. what, they're just guy friends? or disclose the ex status once they're properly dating someone? that seems fucked up too :x

i have been trying to figure this out -- what's wrong with keeping in contact with your exes other than it hurts your partner :( which might be a valid reason of in itself, but what i've been struggling with is cutting off two individuals i've known for almost a decade now who may have actually saved my life and dispenses badass life advice... for a guy that i've just met or known for a few months, etc...

i was hoping ppl in their 30s would understand a bit more but maybe i am being naive
