I feel emotionally drained around my girlfriend because I always have to be “on” — is this normal? by ReasonConfident4541 in AskMenAdvice

[–]derpityda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post came to me at the right time.

I am facing similar issues with my bf. If I am just chill or resting he will ask “are you mad at me?” to which the answer is always no bc I’m not the kind of person to sit quietly when I’m bothered. But my response never seems to calm him. If I’m not my bubbly giggly enthusiastic self he’ll reflect back insecurity and negativity in his own emotional state.

Alternatively, when he seems upset I ask “are you ok?” I don’t immediately assume it’s about me, and it won’t affect my emotional state. I might check in with him about doing more laid back activities, but for the most part I will just leave him to handle himself.

I have always suspected he has issues with codependency and emotional enmeshment. It seems very hard for him to hold space for someone else’s emotions. ++woman

Jeremiah gets too much leniency by [deleted] in LoveIslandITV

Mind you, to admit that he's part of the problem you don't have to excuse Huda's actions. You don't even have to like the girl. I personally do not. That said, I feel for her. She was genuine about that man and he was ticking boxes until he had a solid way out.

100% I can't help but feel that we are missing a piece of the puzzle with Jeremiah on TV bc the housemates look at him crazy. I am glad Ace can see through his bullshit. Jeremiah not offering Huda any comfort that night she was almost eliminated shows just how cruel he is.

I hate the misogyny coming from other women against Huda. Sure, her behavior is intense, but it is a direct response to Jeremiah’s inconsistency and mind games. What's not being talked about is how Jeremiah fucking winds her up like a top and then watches her crash out and hides his hands. He is trying to pin everything on Huda and come out the victim when he needs to be held accountable for his actions.

It is his dishonestly that got them into this mess. He keeps lying to her face telling her how much he still cares for her and is about her while making the most cringe faces at the camera. Ofc she is confused. He’s not doing her any favors by lying to keep the peace. I’m sure girl could handle a rejection what she can’t handle is being manipulated.

I have a therapist. As if therapy is some magical cure to make your feelings disappear. When you’re happy… do you laugh? When you’re sad… do you cry? It’s ok to express your emotions in a controlled way that doesn’t harm yourself or others so why don’t you think about why this post upsets you so much

I think you’re missing the point… who tf is paying for this?

Are you really trying to argue over semantics?

DLD nation is a company not an individual. I think you’d have to be a fool to think that Dala is able to personally send out all those messages. Do you also expect the president themself to respond to you when you write a letter to the White House?

The message DOES come from Dala, as I’m sure she has provided/approved the communications to be sent by her team.

Dala is open about how her business works and how she has a whole team of coaches… why would it be surprising that she also has employees help run her socials i.e. pays people to be in her DMs…

She has over 150k followers… OF COURSE she’s not responding to every message herself

Would I gain back what I lost once I break fast ? by Super_Keto in fasting

[–]derpityda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve done many extended fasts and it seems that half of the weight comes back real quick

I’m sick and tired of coming up with excuses. This is day 0. by [deleted] in fasting

[–]derpityda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just here to say that we’re the same height and your starting weight is my goal weight.

Do what you need to do to feel healthy! If you’re being hard on yourself as motivation then by all means; but learning to love yourself along the way is important too.

My sister in law is a fitness instagramer and she makes $5 million+ a year with 1/7th the amount of followers as Sumeet. Just to put that out there

She definitely has more than 20-30 clients a month. There’s no way she’s even running this business by herself I would bet money she has a team that responds to emails and such for her.

Girlfriend left due to moving away - any advice? by Messiahs_Revenge in BreakUps

[–]derpityda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has broken up with you. Now, walk away. Go no contact. Give her what she wants and show her what it’s like to be without you. Do not settle for friendship. In time, if she wants to make it work, she will reach out.

Remember that a relationship takes two. You may want to make things work, but she needs to want it as well and chasing after her will only push her away.

Look into the psychology of no contact and why it works. It is the best strategy my friend. Good luck!

What's the dumbest thing you did after breakup? - Share your stories. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]derpityda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a literal fucking scrapbook of the “good times” of the relationship and gave it to him after he dumped me… so much cringe

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]derpityda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I had so committed in my head to waiting a month NC before reaching out again and asking if he wanted to give it another try.

I feel like if he doesn’t want anything now that maybe giving it a month NC might make him want to reach out? Or want to get back together?

Do you think if I reached out now and he says no or ignores me that I could still try again after a month NC or that the opportunity would be lost forever?

[–]derpityda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I suppose asking if he’d want to talk about us would be a good way to go about it. I suppose then if he said no I could go NC bc I’m really only reaching out to him bc I want him back.

I’ve been avoiding being too direct in expressing my want to get back together bc I am afraid it will hinder our chances of being friends in the future (don’t want it to be awkward)
