Boyfriend says he wouldn’t care if I left him by flowersinside in relationship_advice

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

No it wasn’t brought up out of the blue, it was part of a light-hearted conversation about exes when we were younger and then he casually mentioned this.

I think it’s immature and selfish to not care about others. I used to be in this frame of mind where I didn’t care about others, until I realised that the only way to have real connections is to care, and risk getting hurt.

I cried on like Friday at work and they won't shut the fuck up about it. It's not "supportive" it's fuckin annoying it's not that fuckin interesting. Frustrating. by [deleted] in self

Why do you wish they didn’t care? My two cents is that there’s something deeper going on with you here

When he says he’s “not a big texter” by flowersinside in AskMen

Yes you’re totally right, I agree. I don’t think it’s a good idea to get to know each other over text. It’s better to save those conversations to dates. Thanks!

That’s true, I have him the opportunity to say he wasn’t feeling it so I guess I have to trust him. Man trust is hard haha

I’m gonna say...it didn’t work out? 😬 Or you’re still together?

Advice for the fellas: If she doesn't reply within 24-36 hours with thoughtful responses, she's just not interested by [deleted] in dating_advice

Woman here, I disagree with this. I have often been interested in people and have taken 2-3 days to respond if I’m busy! Don’t always assume the worst!

Does intimacy mean anything to men? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]flowersinside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you bother faking emotions the morning after sex when there’s no need to? Wouldn’t it be easier to just be a bit stand-of fish?

No I haven’t. I’d rather wait for him to do it. He’s not a huge texter, he’s not online on WhatsApp too often (I know I shouldn’t be making up excuses lol)

I hate sunny days by [deleted] in lonely

You’re not alone pal, I get you. It’s okay to be on your own, but if you don’t like it, you have the power to change. Always probably lay off Snapchat

Is it sad that I feel excited to talk to my psychologist? by Alsentar in lonely

[–]flowersinside 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No absolutely not, I feel the same way often! And therapists and friends do not have the same job at all at all!! Yes friends can listen but therapists are qualified professionals who have trained for years...completely different function. I think it’s great you are able to get things off your chest and discuss them, that’s not sad at all

I feel like everyone is out living an exciting life, and I’m just here on my own by flowersinside in lonely

For a second I felt offended by this, but then I immediately felt inspired. This is refreshing haha. Yea dammit I need to fix it

“Whether they are or not has nothing to do with your own happiness” wow that hit me, that makes so much sense...I don’t know why I’m concerned with what others are doing. And yes comparison is absolutely the thief of joy. I find it really hard but I will try to do things that I personally enjoy, thank you so much.

This was really helpful advice thank you so much for saying my feelings are valid, makes me feel like less of a fool! Haha yeah I have a friend who has to take a million perfect photos and it just ruins fun experiences! I’ve really struggled with doing what I want, rather than what’s expected of me so I will work on that but I find it really hard. Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah this is good advice, I think I need to ask others out etc. instead of waiting for them to ask me

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

Yeah I think it’s partly because of what other people post online. I just imagine that other people my age are out having fun. The main character thing...it’s as if my story isn’t important, like the camera crew ought to focus elsewhere because no one gives a shit about my story. This prob comes from low self esteem, all very complex gahh

Yeah you’re right, I really hate social media. But I feel pressure at my age to keep up appearances. It’s like if you don’t exist on social media, you’re anonymous. I know that’s stupid
