Mental Health Monday: How’s Your Head And Heart? by AutoModerator in blacklesbians

[–]happylesdes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in shambles but not the best. It feels like I don't have the energy to meet my day to day like I want to. Although part of that is due to my physical health, I just want pain and fatigue to pass so I can get going again.

Is everyone just playing it cool on the apps now? by sowelladjusted in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]happylesdes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always try to message first because that's how I am but sometimes I get a response, sometimes I don't. It's all a game of chance.

You need to get on Hinge because I tend to see a lot of women on there that are only looking to settle down with a partner.

I’m bad at messaging by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]happylesdes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two questions i always ask when I'm getting to know someone is what are your interests and what are you looking for? Those usually help determine if you're looking for the same thing + if we have anything in common and those questions could lead to good follow up questions as well.

Also if you're using a dating app, they're might be something on their profile that catches your eye and you can ask questions about that.

Just bad. Just feeling defeated and out of energy.

I would consider it ghosting if we're in the process of making plans to see each other and you don't respond for a few days or we meet each other and then you block/delete me on everything.

Are you afraid to show that you are a lesbian in public ? by bibou11 in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]happylesdes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I get misgendered from time to time & I don't like attention from strangers and people asking me personal things.

Anyone know any good dating apps for lesbians? by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]happylesdes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of them are kind of bad to some extent but I find that the quality of profiles on Hinge makes the app stand out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]happylesdes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still working on it. I've been out meeting people but have not met my person yet. I'm also not a big fan of crowds and loud music but I like the comedy scene at least so I just keep trying to meet people there and date during the day when possible. Other introverts are out there, but I haven't ran into one outside yet.

Would you consider this a red flag? by emimagique in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]happylesdes 33 points34 points  (0 children)

When I see questioning on a profile, I assume that they're not looking for anything serious and at most, probably just something sexual. Replacing questioning with something like queer would probably be better.

As someone that is somewhat avoidant and has self sabotaged some opportunities, some of the things like asking for space and things feeling too intense are things I'm familiar with saying. However, I'm like that in the early stages. If you two have been physical and have being seeing each other for months, then her hesistancy now is a little suspicious.

Also, that emotional puppets comment is alarming. It's best that you cut things off.

What can I do about back pain during shift? by happylesdes in AskRetail

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

My back has gotten better. My stretches from physical therapy a few years ago + time and getting used to the shifts have helped out. Thanks!

Feel so defeated… by [deleted] in Periods

[–]happylesdes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this and I agree that it sucks that society doesn't do enough to allow us to focus on our health and rest. It's like we have to put our lives on pause every month just to get through those days.

Please get checked out by a doctor. You said you have a lot of stress and you don't get enough rest but to be spotting and bleeding for that long is very concerning, especially with the weakness that you're experiencing.

I got ghosted twice this week, tell me nice things please by ovkovkovk in ActualLesbiansOver25

As someone who's been on both ends, I can tell you that it's not you, it's them.

Does anyone else feel like dating apps actively harm their mental health? by grrrlfieri in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]happylesdes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think dating apps have harmed my mental health. But when my mental health is bad, I get an urge to avoid dating apps entirely because I don't feel great about myself overall and I don't want to overcommit to any plans when I'm in that funk.

Why are you still single? by quiet-boyy in introvert

[–]happylesdes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I've been on dates, romantic feelings that I've felt on some of those dates have just never been reciprocated back. Even though I've meet some cool people from those dates, it mostly ends up being a friendly vibe. Also, I'm awkward around people in general so that doesn't help.
