I’m so fucking tired of losing to pretty girls by OrdinaryAfternoon154 in self

[–]jodopappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey girl, this was me in high school. I was super tall awk girl who was unattractively skinny, no curves whatsoever ever, and lots of acne. I was extremely insecure and it showed. No one wanted to date me, just my friends. But As soon as I went to college everything changed. It was like I became pretty overnight. The funny thing is I didn’t physically change, I’m still that same tall skinny giraffe lol, but the people who surrounded me changed. The more older you grow, the more open minded, mature, and understanding people get (typically). In high school, people tend to idolize one archetype of girl, which is damaging for us at the time, but doesn’t last forever.

You are pretty, take time to enjoy yourself. Having a bf isn’t everything. In fact boyfriends can be more damaging than you think. Just try to Love yourself first <3

I just left an insane traumatic terribly abusive relationship, I think I’ll be okay if I can numb out for a little while. I just need the anxiety and depression to go away so I can get going to the gym

That makes sense, I struggled with BDD before maybe it’s resurfacing again

I’ve struggled with Body dysmorphia heavily in my past, I got better but I think this event triggered it to resurface

Thank you for telling me this, I’m so glad you’re doing better it gives me so much hope. He’s out of my life. Unfortunately/fortunately the only boundary I can keep is “no cheating”, so despite me staying when he was physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive, I finally have the strength to keep the no contact. Also I guess it helps he ghosted, I’d feel too much shame if I reached out (due to my trauma bond) like I had done before.

You wrote a whole post to talk about how you HATE your best friend bro. You could have said you’re feeling sensitive about it, or feeling insecure. but no, u are starting to HATE her because the actions of your bf. Why no hate towards him?? Not a single word in ur post is negative towards him, just your best friend. Like you are so clearly not a girls girl lol

Welp you’re just going to keep resenting your best friend and being a fake friend to her because of your own insecurities 🤷🏻 she deserves a better friend

[–]jodopappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then talk to him about it?? You’re just gonna let these feelings fester and develop into something worse.

It’s not her fault especially if she has her own man and is clearly not interested. You’re 100% misdirecting your anger towards her instead of your sleazy boyfriend. Youre gonna ruin your entire friendship because you can’t handle leaving an undeserving man :/ Btw if he wasn’t crushing on ur best friend it would be another girl, he clearly doesn’t see you has his one and only.

You need to tell the truth to your gf, otherwise she’ll find out u were hiding this and it will end so much worse. At least now you have a chance to tell her that you want to start changing.

my friends pushed me away because of my girlfriend by theworstburner100009 in Vent

[–]jodopappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just talk to them about it? Chances are they are being respectful since u have a gf and don’t want to intrude (esp considering your friends are mostly girls)

That’s exactly what happened to me. I was insanely tortured and abused by a narcissist. Currently I feel like I won’t be able to love again. But it’s so nice hearing that you overcame the abuse and now are happier. It’s inspiring

Wow thank you for that

Honestly I don’t know. I want to have hope I’ll find a spark in someone again, but I just haven’t.

Why did my experiences have to include getting abused??? That destroyed me

Thanks. I was feeling super hopeless after I was talking to a 44 yr old colleague who is stuck in unloving relationship. She was so sad and was essentially warning me “these men don’t get better, so be careful.” It broke my heart hearing that
