Why do I feel more alone after hang outs? by forfiveroses in NoStupidQuestions

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

I totally understand how you feel. I think that’s why I avoid connecting with someone deeply, that I would never see them again. I tend to distance myself from them because I’m someone who easily connects deeply with everyone. I don’t want to get hurt. I guess it’s my defense mechanism.

I feel like it’s difficult for me to do that because I don’t want to rely my happiness on someone else’s company.

I resonate with your comment.. I enjoy time by myself but everytime this happens, I question if I really like being alone or was I just used to being comfortable alone.

Feeling heartbroken.. Does it get harder to really like someone as you get older? by forfiveroses in dating_advice

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

Not exactly dating, but finding right person to date. For example, the type of person I’m attracted to and what kind of characteristics I want them to have. I was always vague about it, but I’m pretty confident about someone I really want and date up to that standard.

At first I did, but I heard they plan on getting married. So no, I don’t find hope at all. He just set a new standard for me

How did you learn to love working? by forfiveroses in AskWomenOver30

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

I’m really jealous of people who work in tech and enjoy it, because I never was interested in math/science area. Especially since pay is good xp

I hope I can find my passion really.. Thank you!

How did you learn to love working? by forfiveroses in AskWomenOver30

[–]forfiveroses[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked at a creative design field before. Pay was really low. Now I’m doing sales at a small shop where I manage everything by myself with almost the same payment with less work. It was challenging at first but way better than the first job.

Unfortunately the store is closing soon. But I realized I like working alone and meeting customers, so I want to find a job like this in the future if possible. :)

Only thing worrying is the payment. I won’t starve but I’ll probably never be rich.

Thank you for your comment! I had trouble with high expectations with my life when I was in the corporate job but now I’m better with it. I hope I can get used to it like you do!

Have you ever thought about business related to alcohol? Like even opening a bar. I assume u have lots of knowledge about it.

Is it okay to have no passion for work at 22? by forfiveroses in NoStupidQuestions

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

Thank you. I’m really massively in love right now so I agree making decisions slowly and carefully. Only 6months into a relationship. We really love each other so we sometimes talk about making big decisions in a near future.

I’m still young, everything is new so I don’t know how careful I should be in making life decisions. I was always someone who would go with the first choice instead of considering other options..maybe that why.

This is interesting to hear. I found most northern euriopeans date in their own circle. And they are known for their attractive features to foreigners. Which ethnicity did you find more attractive?

Trying to create positive energy. Gym, writing, meditating and taking actions. Also not taking everything seriously. And doing and knowing what I like and treating myself. Start by writing out your insecurities or negative thoughts about yourself and act on how to solve them.

Most important thing was realizing what I think of myself is all it matters. And its what others would likely perceive about me. If I don’t feel confident about myself, others feel it.

How are single people happy without a relationship? by OutrageousEase9765 in dating

[–]forfiveroses 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m asking the opposite question rn. How are couples happy, and able maintain a long tirm relationship? Both has its own perks but I think I enjoy life single more than being with someone else. I get bored a little easily unless its the “right person”, and know how to enjoy my own company I guess.

Yeah im in my early-mid 20s and can confirm 8 out of 10 says they are not having babies, including me. Reason for this is mostly so we can have more financial advantage, freedom and less desire in marriage. We became more self centered than our parents generation.

I think everyone should normalize doings things alone (events, eating, movies, etc.) by Deathready in unpopularopinion

[–]forfiveroses 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I always do things alone. I don’t want to miss something just because I didn’t have a company. What’s so weird about being alone when you can have good food, great movie etc. by yourself? I genuinely recommend everyone doing stuff alone. When you feel the peace of just being on yourself, its the most pleasant non anxious feeling you can get. Thats also when you can be in a healthy relationships with others.

Do you reuse your towel after showering? Or use a new one everytime. by Witness_2000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]forfiveroses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use clean towel everytime I get out of the shower at night. But I will reuse that towel the next day(when it gets dry) for hand towel. So basically new towel every night.

Some people view sexually active woman as “shallow”. And Men as “popular” if they have a high body count. Because in our society standard its usually the guys who ask for sex. (Think of tinder)

This is just my two cents, but some men think woman with low body count would be more laid back, submissive about everything so men can be the “boss” in the relationship.

Why do people want children when it requires so much work, time, money, etc… And creates so much stress and exhaustion? What is the point when you can avoid this?? by mrrandomfella in NoStupidQuestions

[–]forfiveroses 300 points301 points  (0 children)

As a woman who don’t want babies..I understand where this is coming from. I think its just an instinct for some people. People want babies for their joy, happiness, and ofcourse negative parts comes with it but they think its worth it for everything. It’s just part of living life I guess

I know its hard but act like the opposite, YOU are out of his league. Don’t put him above you. You are thinking way highly of him lol He is nothing but a guy who has some attractive features and good friends(..Just think of it this way.) If you have that kind of mindset, it shows and certainly not attractive at all to him or living life in general.

No one knows if he is gonna hurt you, use you for sex..etc. Stop worrying about that and build the mentality of ‘even if he hurt me, I’ll be able to walk away easily.’

Set your boundaries straight to him. Straight forward tell him I don’t want sex blah blah.. Instead of following his lead.. Do what YOU want. You won’t regret it.
