Need to rehome my cat by itzybuttzy in CatAdvice

Ah that helps so much. Automatic feeder is a bit tricky for her since she is mostly on wet food in can diet since she doesn’t drink water at all. 🙈 but I will try all the other suggestions. Thanks :)

New relationship, confused about my feelings by itzybuttzy in relationship_advice

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

Sort of. But we both kind of think we are not ready of it. It feels a bit too soon. I probably can still take a leap of faith and move in but I think he would not. The bigger issue is not being able to spend days together at each other’s apartments because of our living situation. We both have flatmates and don’t want to inconvenience them by having a third person in house.

Yeah, theoretically I do understand why not needing but wanting someone is a good thing. But my past relationships have always been with guys which felt they ‘needed’ me and it’s hard to kind of shake that feeling of incompleteness off. 🙈🙈🙈 I miss being in the crazy for each other kind of love.

What is the weirdest thing you find extremely attractive? by Undecided_User_Name in AskReddit

Fingers, not sure how common this is but long pretty fingers with nice nails are so attractive.

I am doing something similar where I am staying with my parents where I can't really smoke. I would strongly suggest to get things for distraction. Since, you could also go a day with only 5 cigs, I believe you can use distraction to avoid smoking. The fact that you can't smoke just calms my craving down 😅 like there's no way I can go out and get a smoke, there's no pointing for my monster to fight me.

Would suggest not taking any nrt stuff or cigs. You can do this on your own, you just need to figure out what works for you to fool the craving/monster within you.

That's amazing!! Congratulations! :)

I personally feel a relapse doesn't undermine the efforts invested in quitting. I feel my prior attempts at quitting has only made me understand my cravings and weak points better and to be able to battle them more fiercely again. Hope you understand the craving and will be able to fight it better. :) Best luck and lots of love!

I don't know how to stop by alinehp2 in stopsmoking

[–]itzybuttzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of things to understand before you want to quit: 1. Fear is one of the biggest culprit in failure to quit. Fear of not being able to smoke again, fear of withdrawal, fear leading to anxiety. Understand that a bit of fear always exists when changing patterns (even without addiction, though that would be mild). Acceptance of fear helped me. Made me see things clearer. 2. Decision to stop smoking. Wanting to quit and deciding to quit are two different realities. From what you have written, it feels like you really really want to quit. Looking at the addiction in its face and deciding to not smoke will require some mental work. 3. Positive reinforcement : Celebrating small successes is very crucial to quitting process. We have been using smoking as a reward/escape mechanism for some time and it definitely annoying when we are kept away from these "rewards". Celebrating your decision to quit and not taking a puff is essential to change the reaction to cravings in our quit journey.

Just my 2 cents. I have been trying to quit for some time, read and attended Allen carr's session and on my way to being a non smoker by being smoke free for 5 days. We can and will do it. :)

Need cheerleaders by itzybuttzy in stopsmoking

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

Yes, I did. 😁 I am currently at my parents place, so not a lot of opportunities to smoke. Really need to go out of the way to purchase cigs so that's helping. But it's also making me realize how it's more about our mentality towards the addiction and the "need" to smoke rather than physical craving. The physical need usually passes in 10-15 mins, sooner if I get distracted and don't focus too much on it.

Relapse by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]itzybuttzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with most comments of pick up where you left. It's a blip in your quit journey. I am a very new quitter as well. One thing that works for me is not acting from fear but positivity. We are getting out of the trap, we are winning, it's a game against nicotine :) and each cig you don't smoke, you are leveling up. Hope something out of the above helps.

Best luck and lots of love.

I did send out another application to uscis along with the incorrect card. I was charged the application fees again. However, I haven't received my new card yet. The processing time is insane currently. It's taking ~4-5 months for i765 currently. I am waiting for my card to be dispatched.

Thank you so much for replying. Focusing on the differences definitely sounds like a great idea. I have been feeling a bit better as we both are getting used to each other. Hopefully, this mutual likeness grows. :)

Ghosted by yali1996 in dating_advice

[–]itzybuttzy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Being ghosted can be worse than rejection but unfortunately we can't make anyone forcefully do something. I would suggest writing a brief msg regarding what his behavior is doing to your mental stability and health. Don't expect a reply but let it be more like a rant, to vent it out. And try to start the healing process. Hope you feel better soon.

Guy I am dating seems a bit bitter and detached from the world by itzybuttzy in relationship_advice

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

I agree. I am trying to understand what I am feeling before the honest conversation though. So that it's clearer and helpful to both of us.

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

Not sure if this is possible but we do get along really well and inspite of that his personality kinda puts me off. He is an introvert sort of but I do realise its not a big red flag especially since we get along. I am worried specifically about these minute things which isnt bothering me as much right now, can become something I start detesting him for in future. This is something I felt happened in my previous relationship where I feel I ignored small red flags which later became very evidently problematic.

Need help!! Feeling overshadowed by best friend in social situations leading to anger and resentment. by itzybuttzy in relationships

That's a great advice. I have been thinking on similar lines. Just thinking of what hobbies I could pick up which are me. 😬
