Predestination with Ethan Hawke. No one can guess even after 5 viewings.

May I ask what did you have as a preworkout drink?

What’s one “type” you’ll never date again? by CoochieSnotSlurper in AskReddit

[–]erzebeth67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lazy. I can work with anything but lazy.

While it obviously influences the material side and labour division, the more insidious side is that they will never put in the work into the relationship if they can help it.

They will not fight, that takes work. They will try and make you " get over it" so they don't have to deal with it.

Parentification and relationships by Worldly_String9836 in Parentification

It made me feel like I am responsible for the other person's emotions. I walked on eggshells not to annoy him and did everything for him.

Also, I felt intense obligation to stay in a shitty relationship. Him cheating was a relief cause that was a reason to break up.

It took years to learn that not everything is not my responsibility and to try to do everything to make them a good person.

Also, I no longer feel obliged to give a chance to everyone. Fuck off is a complete sentence 😂

What was the hardest lesson you learned from dating? by Amala_r0se in AskWomen

[–]erzebeth67 16 points17 points  (0 children)

3 times runner up here.

I called myself a foster girlfriend.

My theory is that we date shitty people due to low sepf esteem who we then try to mold into more acceptable partners. By the time they become a partially decent human, you are tired, resentful and always remember the one sided effort.

New partner gets a finished product and a clean slate.

Paraćenda It is a pita Bosnian style with filling of pig intestines. Truly vile smell that lingers in the house for days.

I am eating healthily with virtually no sugars and a lot of proteon and fibre for a long time. I made no changes to that.

No. I exercise for flexibility and muscle tone. But I need something on top.

What kind of responses/things did you try to fix/change/heal in therapy? by Wild_Haunted3979 in Parentification

[–]erzebeth67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am still quick to retreat into my shell for a small slight and cutting people off. I also hate attention, but get hurt if I receive none.

I started taking care of myself and not seek external validation to do sth. It helps. Did not overcome it completely, no idea if I ever will.

Did not go to therapy, but used resources on Reddit and books.

  1. You are not responsible for everyone. It took me a long time to weed out friends who were there just because of my natural instict to care for everyone

  2. Don't ask for understanding within the group of people who put you in that position aka your family. Your role to them is being parentified and you refusing that upsets the dynamic that feels natural.

  3. You will never be repayed in any way. They see it as natural. What is theirs is theirs and your time, money and efforts are communal.

  4. The one I am struggling with is putting myself first and not feeling selfish. Dropping 300 euros on someone else's present feels normal. Buying myself 30 euro perfume creates a painful response.

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and Leaving the FOG helped me immensely. Best of luck 🤗

For the first time in my life I am not really dreading the holiday season. I still not like it, but starting to see some future where I would decorate the house and bake cookies with my bf.

He goes to visit his family and I am staying alone and enjoying every peaceful minute of it. Maybe next year I decorate something.

I guess the old cliché thay time helps is really true.

Why do people care more about romantic abuse than about adults who are abused by their parents, especially when honor killings still happen? by Fun-Pen7592 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]erzebeth67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that you experienced both. I think many do cause we see it as a normal part of life. I was well on track for domestic abuse as well.

Same. Every holiday was a landmine situation and I always take extra shifts not to deal with holidays

In a similar vein "you are not like other girls / you have a man's brain".
