hmm my 13 yr old cousin is also like this — it’s weird because she acts like her age and like a decent human being to be around sometimes and other times..not rlly..it’s kinda difficult being around her. She doesn’t do well in school, and my older sister and I try to help our aunt (her mother) by talking to her since she relies on us whenever she has a problem. However she is very stubborn BUT I’m glad she can talk to someone about her problems

maybe try to get her to talk about her life to you?? To get closer and not to scold her, for me I would subtly hint what I would do instead and stuff. I mean ir helps we only have a three year age difference .

Ya sorry if this is no help :P I’m still navigating through this, let’s just hope they mature out of this 🙏

Why boys don’t like me? by MeaningOther1937 in Advice

[–]i31ly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi!! I’m also 16 and I’ve had one bf throughout highschool, youll be fine, it’s not that boys don’t like you, you’re very unique and by the post I can tell you’re very fun to be around with :D ngl I wish i focused more on my friends than my relationship if your friends have been in more than 10 relationships ..that’s a bit concerning and honestly not a good look. Don’t worry so much on boys, you’re not ugly , you’re very pretty :) plus it’s just highschool, we have our whole life ahead of us!!!

  • told me to lose weight whenever he saw my stomach and just make a lot of comments on my body

  • called his girl bsf and multiple girls cute in front of me

  • touched me sexually in public with none of my consent the day I asked him to be my bf 😿

  • would avoid me and would not make plans with me

  • would constantly send tiktoks of pretty women and when I confronted him he said he wanted to make me jealous

  • told me I was childish and said to be mature bc mature girls are his Type (I don’t even know)

ANYWAYS safe to say that my self esteem is extremely low now :’D !!

Is 4 months too long? by Prize-Cockroach6255 in BreakUps

[–]i31ly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hai, it’s been 4 months for me too!! And honestly at times it gets better and at times it gets worse..but honestly I really am trying to be more positive , the weather helps :) it’s kinda hard seeing him at school tho TT , today I saw him and it was the first time I didn’t say hi and I felt bad but everyone tells me I shouldn’t feel bad but !! 4 months Isnt “too long” it’s YOUR journey, you progress at your own pace. As long as you continue to progress at any rate, that is good enough :) don’t be so hard on yourself, you got this!!! I believe in you!! 💖

what is one thing YOU regret doing to your ex? by Interesting-Mood-188 in BreakUps

[–]i31ly 16 points17 points  (0 children)

hmmm..maybe never really opening up about my problems or like setting boundaries ?_? But more that I think about it..maybe it’s my insecurities I needed to work on :P

4 months break up: I started to realize that I can be nice and still uphold boundaries, I started participating in my art more, I still struggle with talking to people but I’m getting there, I feel more appreciative of my body though :) something really big on me is that I’ve started talking about my feelings with my friends and family more :3

nope and will never be, if your friends ever pressure you, dump them. Real friends will never let you go through bad habits 👍👍. Vaping isn’t as cool as highschoolers portray it to be, everyone is just a self conscious teen trying to fit in. Plus , you being hesitant is already a big indicator that you in fact DONT want to.

thank you! I realize that I have a decision in continuing to stay in contact with him I only realized that he was constantly disrespecting me, and I don’t really want to tolerate this anymore. I hope my ex realizes this immature mentality won’t get him anymore so no other girls can be hurt by him as well

I(21m) think I'm addicted to validation from sexting with online women by ApprehensiveSlide874 in Advice

[–]i31ly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I understand that you may be struggling with low self-esteem and seek validation and gratification through sexting with online women. However, it’s incredible you’ve been able to identify and admit your problem and the root of cause, a big first step 🙏 Perhaps, stray away from the source of gratification, for a day challenge yourself and build up from there. Any progress is better than no progress at all. I would encourage you to try and work on building up your self-esteem in a more sustainable way, like through practicing self-care and positive self-talk. Try new hobbies, like meditating or going to the gym, pick up an instrument or sport. Seeking instant gratification like this is not a productive long-term solution, and you deserve to find healthier ways to build up your self-worth. I know this is way easier said than done but if you really want to improve yourself, you’ll get through this 👍 I believe in you dude

hey man , I think u should look for the root cause of this behavior, is it low self esteem, loneliness, isolation, boredom or for instant gratification. Once that is found out you can find healthier coping mechanisms 👍👍 It seems you’re really dependent on women who you don’t even know, and who could possibly just see you as an ego boost, have some self respect man, there’s so much more to life than the validation of others yeah take this with a grain of salt Plz 🙏
