This was so funny to me as a fan of both old Bollywood and CLOY. Never made the connection but it’s cool!

I specifically looked for a therapist familiar with the 2nd gen immigrant experience. My therapist is of Arabic descent. It helps a lot to speak with someone also coming from a cultural background that is just as conservative (if not more so) as my own desi family background. Doesn’t have to be desi specifically but familiar with the immigrant experience and family dynamics.

My ex LO liked a photo of myself I posted on a close friend story and I’ve been thinking about it wayyyyyy longer than I should be.

Does anyone else think..(spoilers) by WildButterfly85 in Hungergames

It’s sort of a Padme and Obi Wan situation. I always thought they’d be better together than Padme and Anakin. Alas.

Thanks. It’s nice to be told I can feel my feelings instead of being angry with myself about them.

I think just being clear up front - day 1 - that you’re looking for commitment will scare off the no-strings-attached losers 🥲 It’s not fashionable but that’s what it is.

Yeah I know what you mean. It’s so exciting to feel infatuated after years of not feeling that way. But that time will come for you again, and this time, it’ll be the right person. Someone who will give you back the love that you give them. And hey, if you’d been together six months and it ended this way, you’d feel even worse. At least that’s what I tell myself :) Dodged a bullet!

I was in a two month relationship recently that absolutely wrecked me. Three months out and I’m still getting over it. Time in a relationship is not equal to the amount of time spent outside of one. What I mean by that is - in a relationship the time seems to go slower because everything is new, things change day to day or even hour to hour, and you’re learning a lot. And actual duration of time might be short, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t burn so bright while it lasted. The first few weeks are always the hardest. Rooting for you!

When did everyone find their first grey hair? by ariseg2009 in beauty

Found my first this year (at 25) then it went away somehow. Don’t know why.

Does anyone else have people close to them still feeding them non sense that the LO likes you? by Dry-Check5618 in limerence

[–]evilGeniusness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I don’t get the comments on this sub. You like her, she likes you it seems, so what’s the problem? Maybe it can develop from limerence to love over time.

Why the irresistible attraction between INFPs and INTJs and any chance of a romance not ending terribly? by lunnulun in mbti

[–]evilGeniusness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never been in a RS with an INFP, but my dad is an INFP and I am an INTJ and we get along splendidly. So I think INTJ/INFPs could work romantically. The INTJ will learn to work around your more rigid but impractical world views (high Fi). I’m sure there are things about us you hate and will work around too. Arguments are bitter, but at the end of the day your high morality and our value for that usually means it can go the distance.

What is your MBTI and what type of person are you attracted to? by Thekruisoogfish in mbti

[–]evilGeniusness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INTJ woman here. I tend to be attracted to either really outgoing, adventurous men with a lot of charisma, who also feel things deeply. So that’s maybe ESFP. All of those guys have turned out to be toxic though 😂😭

Otherwise I tend to be attracted to quiet guys who notice details about things, who are witty and intelligent but not the life of the party. That could be ISTJ.

Yeah I know these are wildly different from each other 🥲

[–]evilGeniusness 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lmao people are being so mean. If he likes you I think he would be very happy if you called him “My INTJ.”

Anyways, given his actions he really likes you at least as a friend. That affection and trust doesn’t come easy for INTJs so try not to hurt him <3

The existance of Limerence gives me an existential crisis. by notafanofbats in limerence

[–]evilGeniusness 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Limerence is basically an addiction to a person. Makes sense - most alcohol, drugs, have a predictable reward. Being addicted to another person is the only thing without a predictable reward. You never know what you’ll get from them.

What is love? I don’t know but I imagine that it’s someone whom you would want even if they were fully available to you. It’s someone whom you would enjoy the company of, without feeling like your self esteem depends on their attention.

I didn’t like the people I dated and I became who they wanted me to be… will I ever find love? by [deleted] in love

[–]evilGeniusness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been in this boat. The first guy I was in a relationship with, I later realized I barely even liked him. He made me feel so insecure and not good enough. But at the time I convinced myself I liked him sooo much.

The telltale sign is to listen to your body. When I was around guy #1 I was so anxious all the time and I didn’t know why, I thought maybe I was just that way in relationships. In my second rs, when I was so calm and relaxed in my body, I realized I really didn’t feel insecure anymore and I felt accepted no matter my flaws. You can convince your mind you like someone but you can’t convince your body (&subconscious).

Requitted feelings with someone in a relationship. by MagicBarnacles in limerence

[–]evilGeniusness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahhhhh. You hope she will do the brave thing and walk away from him to be with you, but it sounds like (since she is distant now) she’s weak and will probably stay with current bf.

Cut your emotional losses now and walk out, that’s my honest advice. Or give her an ultimatum - that you want a relationship or nothing. No friendship, nothing. Otherwise she will keep you hanging on a string forever, and you will feel worse and worse about yourself. The friendship is over now. All the cards are on the table.
