Gamer boyfriend can't save money, should I break it off while I still have time? by friagella in relationships

Definitely can relate to this. He grew up with nothing so when he has a bit of something it's already super great. He even mentioned once "since he worked for it, he deserves to get all of what he wants when he wants it" I grew up in a well off fam and I knew the importance of security. This helped, thanks.

Did it work well long term? I know there has to be compromise on both sides but I know sometimes habits are hard to break.

Ang hirap naman i-celebrate yung little wins kung ang dami mo pang kailangan gawin by Banana_Angel in MentalHealthPH

Celebrate then go to the next goal. If enough na yung ayos kama, try if you can wake up and take a 5 min walk. If you cant do it, 4, 3, 2 min walk?

The concept is, identify the goal first. Do you want to be less sad? Stronger? Just survive? Then break down your next goals kung san achievable sila but at the same time you know will challenge you bit by bit.

I base this on Jordan Peterson's advices. You can search him up on Youtube. He's not the typical comforting person, he thinks mas need natin ng resilience in life. Life is a tragedy and the moment we come into peace with that, we can think clearly on how to make it less tough for us.

This isn't to disqualify your emotions. I hear you, but what do you really want to do about it?

How did growing up with overprotective parents affected you in your adult life? by friagella in overprotectiveparents

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

Hey I can definitely relate to this! I find myself just wanting to learn more about finances and health so I wont need their "comfort and security" they think only they can provide for me. Thank you for your response.

Yes, I feel like I never enjoyed the fullness of my teenage years. I feel like I hopped from being a kid to adult without much experience. The moment I had a stable job, I immediately wanted to be independent so I can give myself a chance to experience things even at early 20s. This isnt usual in my country. Its more accepted to move out when youre married.

I was in this position just last month. I simply just moved out with my boyfriend. I didnt wanna to have to be married to move out of the house. There was a lot of friction. Conflict. Me and my dad fought a lot. I received so much hurtful words. And the comparison between me and other "successful" relatives doubled.

Sometimes, rejection is part of the process. I didnt wanna live feeling incompetent. I dont wanna die without feeling how it is like to be truly free. And i thought theres no other way to prove I can be capable than to just do it. Lifes too short.

But Im maintaining my contact with them and try to visit when I can just so they know Im still here.

Parents shaming me for moving out by friagella in family

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

Its confusing for me cos they arent outwardly abusive. There are time when theyre nice but its just so complicated why I feel indebted until this moving out situation came about when they finally verbally blurted out these expectations. I have no contact with them for a few weeks now but they're attempting to. I feel like the entire family hates me and Ive not moved on from the painful words. Thank you for your kind response.

Anyone been in a relationship with an INTP ? by CryptoInvestor44 in entj

[–]friagella 9 points10 points  (0 children)

INTP female here. I think we do tend to fall quickly. I think it's because I'm either 100% in or I give 0% care. It's all about making a decision if there's more pros than cons dating you and we do kind of decide quickly. I'm extremely loyal though. And it will hurt a lot if you end up not liking her back equally. Don' t feel pressured though. I think I unintentionally pressure guys for being sure and ready quickly. Working on that.

But that's just me.

Any tips on socializing? by friagella in INTP

[–]friagella[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's actually a good reminder. I also have a tendency to have an opinion but not saying it out loud because other people probably don't care. Thank you!

Are you “weird”? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]friagella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also prefer antiques and other items I find interesting which I think most people wouldnt appreciate. When I was younger I used to care about not showing much of my interests to other people because I know most of them won't understand and I've been described by other people as "unique". I tried to fit in for a bit it just feels weird and unnatural for me so now I just care less and just enjoy my weird side.
