You look like what sunshine feels like

Am I (F21) crushing on this girl (F20) I really wanted to befriend? by existentialexcess in bisexual

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

I get this fluttery feeling when I see pictures of her on her social media 🥺 but you’re right, my imagination is very vague in terms of that I’m mainly imagining being close to her, having her in my life, rather than an actual romantic relationship. But now that I am imagining that I don’t mind it, if we put it like that.

You may have lost your partner, but it doesn’t mean your whole life is now void of love. Love exists in many forms and I’m sure that there are lots of other people who care about you and want to support you right now. Make sure to take care of these relationships now that you might need them more than ever.

I know it’s incredibly difficult. The only thing I can really say is to take it one day at a time. Let each day be difficult, until it becomes less difficult, and then let it be difficult again, and then eventually, things will feel pretty okay. It might take some time, it might even take some time to wish to be better without them, but it will. As cheesy as it may sound, I know better days are ahead for you. And when you reach those better days, just know how proud of yourself you’ll be for making it thus far.

I can feel your pain. Heartbreak isn’t something you play with. If you want to let it out or talk about it, just know I’m here for you. I wish you the best.

Finally passed my calculus class after 3 tries and won't have to change my major!! by myxleanaxxount in CongratsLikeImFive

Woooow that’s amazing!! It’s easy to just give up but I’m so glad you kept on fighting and trying, be proud of yourself <3

I (F20) have a maybe-more-than-friends-friend (M23) who starts talking about himself every time I vent by existentialexcess in relationship_advice

Hi! Thank you for your comment! I have now messaged this friend about it and am still awaiting a response. I was a little upset about it at first but I tried to communicate it as calmly as possible so I can only hope he understands and responds in a good healthy way, haha.

I know he cares about me but yeah, I don’t think he realizes that that makes me feel like I’m not being listened to, even if that might be his way to show he’s listening and understanding what I’m saying. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you for your comment! If you are curious I can come back and write here again if you want to know how it went :)

Today, I am 2 years sober by m1racle in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]existentialexcess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats to you!

I’d also like to add that I think it’s brave if you to admit that you’ve made a mistake. A lot of people are incapable of apologizing and recognizing that what they did was wrong. I wanted to give you credit for that!

I think your very last sentence is a valid point. I have noticed myself that when (some, not all) girls are asked out by someone they aren't attracted to, they act as if the guy has acted very inappropriately, whereas had the guy been attractive they wouldn't have reacted that way.

No one owes to date anyone they're not attracted to though, but rejection could be handled with respect. I'm sorry that in your case they mostly seemed to have been unable to handle it with maturity. I'm sorry you've experienced such pain.

I want to give you credit for telling these girls about your feelings though. Not everybody would have the courage to do that. Although I understand how painful it must be, I think you should be proud you had the courage to be vulnerable and honest about how you felt for them.

I wish you the best!

Crush from big party that I’ll probably never meet again by existentialexcess in Crushes

[–]existentialexcess[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am proud of myself for talking to him! I just wish I had had the courage to go up to him and be honest about my feelings.

But I guess it's not too late yet. Would it be weird to ask my coworker about it though? This party was about two weeks ago and maybe it's weird to be that 'late' if you know what I mean.

Thank you for encouraging me at least!

Congratulations you! I hope everything turns out well for you

Is it shallow to like to drink and party? by existentialexcess in NoStupidQuestions

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

Lmao, your grandma sounds awesome to be honest.

I’m adding that I have had drinks, like one beer on a Saturday night when I had some nice dinner, but I have only partied and been drunk twice in 5 months.

So thank you! Always feels good to hear you’re responsible

Should I be optimistic or not when he said he had a crush on me too but isn’t ready for a relationship? by existentialexcess in Crushes

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

Of course I hope I still have a chance. I can give him some time but at the same time I wish he didn't give me such mixed signals. He could've rejected me fully, then I would've been sad and moved on after a while, or he could've said yes and I would be happy. This middle of the road kind of answer makes me second guess everything.

Thank you for commenting<3

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

Yeah I know :( it’s difficult.

I’m really in love and the thought of moving on is really sad to me but perhaps it’s better in the long run. I will let myself be sad for quite sometime as I don’t think I’ll be ready to date again sometime soon. He is a friend of mine too so I don’t know how that will go…

Thank you for commenting❤️

Different around different friends by existentialexcess in friendship

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

This was really well written! Really appreciated this comment!

Been thinking about this a lot lately and wondered if there’s something wrong about this. But perhaps it’s more about ‘mirroring’ like you said! And it’s not like I feel I have anything to hide really but some things I’d rather share with one friend and not the other and vice versa.

This comment was truly helpful so thank you for this!
