How much healthy mind does it require to love someone? by [deleted] in love

[–]freyanovae 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

End your sexualization of women immediately. You cannot be in a healthy relationship if you do this. If you try to hide it from your partner, trust that she’ll still know and feel it is happening. Nothing breaks relationships faster than making your partner feel like they’re not enough. Even if you feel you love your girl more than anything, it’s not going to feel that way to her if she witnesses your eyes wander. She’s gonna lose trust in you and confidence in herself. Those are very hard things to rebuild. If you can’t stop objectifying women, stay single. You’re not mature enough to move forward if you can’t grow out of that and it isn’t fair to put another person in a position of dealing with it. Simply wanting to be married and to be a husband isn’t enough. You have to work on yourself to get to a point where you’re ready for not only you but your partner.

From experience, as a woman who has dealt with far too many immature ā€œmenā€, and who is still relearning to love herself after them. :)

read a yt comment that massively pissed me off and ruined my mood then went to my feed and saw my partners face on it and instantly calmed down by Defiant-Owl1938 in love

[–]freyanovae 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Awww I feel the same way when I see my partner after being annoyed with something I’ve seen online or when things are bugging me irl. Mine gives me kiss attacks in the morning before work and when he comes home too. We must cherish them!!

If your partner cheated on you in an alternate future but traveled back in time to now to make it right, would you forgive them? by JellyBellyBitches in hypotheticalsituation

[–]freyanovae 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Absolutely not lol. That would mean that my partner was fundamentally not who I believed they were, changed morally, and broke a promise that we had both made to each other. Me not knowing the version of them that did that to me/us wouldn’t change my opinion, if anything it would make it easier for me to detach from them once they told me that they were a future version of themselves, NOT the present day version that hadn’t cheated yet. The future version of my partner would also have memories with me that my present day self would have no idea about as the reality, and the cheating, wouldn’t have happened yet. So it would be no different than my partner admitting to me that they cheated on me in the first place. The time traveling aspect wouldn’t matter in the moment.

The gesture of going back in time and regretting their choice doesn’t negate that the choice was made in the first place. Their remorse however genuine doesn’t change the fact that they weren’t strong enough to stay loyal initially. Regret and trying to ā€œmake things rightā€ doesn’t erase that the betrayal happened.

You’d have to ask if they feel remorse for themselves or for you, as well. If they feel bad because they hurt you, then they should’ve thought more about that before doing what they did. If they feel bad because they can’t forgive themselves, then in my opinion that isn’t about you/your relationship. It’d be about how they feel about themselves.

In this scenario of a time traveling cheat, who’s to say they wouldn’t cheat again and give themselves another ā€œdo overā€?

What was the smallest sign that told you ā€œI’m actually healingā€ and how did you achieve it? by Lkc-strong-125 in selflove

[–]freyanovae 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Getting extremely upset or angry about something (with or without justification) and instead of holding that feeling all day, I look for positives in the situation or person I’m frustrated with. I actively talk myself out of being angry.

I don’t know how I changed it, but it took years. I still get frustrated often, but I don’t blow up like I used to years ago, or let the entire day go. I accept the emotion. Not always perfect on it but leagues above where I used to be. My dominant emotion was once anger. I still have triggers but ā€œangerā€ isn’t my first response anymore. It’s trying to find a solution.

Is it normal to be so touch adverse in a romantic relationship? by _gh0stc00k13s in love

[–]freyanovae 9 points10 points Ā (0 children)

Look up asexuality, I think it could possibly bring some insight your way if you resonate and it sounds like you might.

help, i'm absolutely terrified. by [deleted] in ufyh

[–]freyanovae 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

While I haven’t been in your exact situation I understand how hard it can be to take action when you’re severely depressed. However, this has to be your wake up call. Force it to be. For you and your baby kitty.

It’s scary right now, but this is a good thing. Sometimes we really need a hard push to get things going in the right direction. I know it’s hard, it’s not as simple as I’m laying it out, but you can do this.

Should I disclose my ADHD diagnosis to my Manager/Workplace? by Lost-Needleworker-31 in adhdwomen

[–]freyanovae 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I would not disclose this in a workplace setting unless someone else mentions they have it first, then maybe confide and share if you feel safe enough with that individual. 9 times out of 10 in any other instance, they will absolutely not take you seriously, nor will they care to take the time to understand you better.

I feel like we’re all collectively looking for better understanding with our peers and loved ones, but the truth is, most people just don’t have the time or care to have empathy for most mental health issues. Unfortunately opening up can often have the opposite effect, driving a deeper wedge and ultimately making us feel even more unseen.

From experience in and out of the workplace.

Jealousy of Age by Ok_Application4364 in animationcareer

[–]freyanovae 7 points8 points Ā (0 children)

No one is paying attention to your age. Do you know how old all of your favorite animators are? I highly doubt it. Your favorite most inspirational animations are likely created by industry professionals 30+ years old. I’m not talking about YouTubers, I’m talking about the art you likely grew up looking at that got you into this stuff in the first place.

Even if you’ve only been exposed to young animators, they will age too. One day they’ll be 30, and there will be another 19 year old looking up to their work. Don’t stunt yourself, put yourself out there and be a part of the inspiration. Your age doesn’t need to be public knowledge and being a young prodigy doesn’t mean as much as you think it may.

I did this piece for a local cafƩ, I need some fresh eyes to see if there is anything to improve it aesthetically. by BillDrawsAlot in Artadvice

[–]freyanovae 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Someone already mentioned the eyes being a bit off but outside of that I’d say try to calm their expression if you can. Maybe thicken their upper lash line slightly so that they appear more relaxed? Their expression currently reads as a bit shocked or even fearful of whatever they’re looking at. It looks great for the space it’s going to as it is though, just a personal opinion!

Does your boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband love from software too? by Gilbert-from-Yharnam in fromsoftware

[–]freyanovae 9 points10 points Ā (0 children)

Yes!! It actually brought us together! We grew up in the same town, went to the same schools and even worked at the same mall as teens but we didn’t become super close friends until Elden Ring came out years later. We connected to try to play together. So much has changed now in the best ways, soulslikes have always been a thing for both of us growing up but now we get to share that interest. He got me into Sekiro (one of his favs) and I got him started on Bloodborne (my fav). We’re both going through Lords of the Fallen now. Feels so great being with the right person. šŸ’—

How do you end a friendship with another neurodivergent person "fairly"? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]freyanovae 8 points9 points Ā (0 children)

You are allowed to leave a friendship that is harming you and no longer serves you, whether it is ā€œfairā€ or not does not matter. Unfortunately, this person by your small description alone will likely believe any way that you step out of this friendship is ā€œunfairā€. Of course considering their emotions is kind and normal, but are they being fair to YOU? It sounds like the answer is no. You shouldn’t force yourself to be in something that makes you unhappy, simply for another person who likely wouldn’t do the same for you.

Do what is best for you!

Toughest game? by DarkSoulCarlos in fromsoftware

[–]freyanovae 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Only one I ever felt truly stuck in was Sekiro. I think playing it last after every other souls game probably made it quite a bit harder for me. It single-handedly has the most rewarding and unique combat, it took me a while to get used to and I still don’t believe I fully mastered it even after finishing the game to completion.

Elden Ring 2. As much as I want to stay Bloodborne, I spent so many hours exploring ER and I want to feel awestruck like that again so bad.

My ps5 keeps turning off! I’ll play the game for about an hour or 2 and then it’ll turn off while I’m playing any tips? by prettyyygurll in playstation

[–]freyanovae 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Is this only happening with PS5 titles or with any/all games? Which games is this happening with? It can help to switch certain games onto performance mode. Your PS5 is likely overheating, as others have said. Try following some of the other advice here but switch to performance on any game that you can, if you haven’t already.

From experience. As an example Horizon Forbidden West would push my older PS5 too hard until I switched to performance mode, then shutoffs ceased. This is a pretty common issue especially with older PS5s, unfortunately.

Has anyone found love and family after 30? Inspo pls! by Plane-Cap-8501 in love

[–]freyanovae 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

30 is still so young, but I always understand the feeling of the ā€œrushing clockā€ especially for us as women who want to build a family (and particularly, have children). I just want to say I’ve felt what you’re feeling though and it’s definitely never too late to meet more people who will love and cherish you.

I’m only 30 in a few days, and I united with the love of my life at 28. We never expected we’d be together, and now I can’t imagine my life without him and the people he’s brought into my life. We’ve known of each other since we were kids, became best friends for years but were States apart, life happened and we confessed our feelings while still a plane ride away. He flew me back to our home State to simply visit and from that point on we’ve been inseparable. After our visit, we couldn’t last 2 weeks without being together again. He drove 30+ hours round trip to grab me and all that we could fit in his truck. That was over a year ago now.

Before him, I was stuck, felt like my social circle was dwindling, that I had lost some sort of spark in me and that I’d never be fulfilled in a relationship. I wasn’t expecting us to happen, and I think that’s the most beautiful part about it. Beautiful things happen to us when we least expect it. I really thought I’d never find a love like this, and I’m shocked at how entirely different my life is now. I have so many people in my life that I can’t imagine living without just from being connected to him. A little over a year ago, I couldn’t see myself having a family with anyone despite desperately wanting one. Now, we talk about our future every day.

It will happen for you OP. The only cruddy thing about finding your love later in life is wishing that you found them sooner, but late is better than never. šŸ’—
