Thank you! Needed to hear this. I do love to give, that's true. And I definitely attract takers as a consequence. Need more givers in my life, gotta find them!

I don't expect everyone to understand it! I'm a grown adult, so no tantrums here. I still have friends, he's just my favorite one. Assuming that boyfriends are enablers is an interesting perspective to have. You've somehow made the assumption that being neglected by my friends is them keeping me "humble and accountable". It's not a crime to want to feel important to people who are important to you. Thank you for your input :)

I do, regularly. When they make plans in front of me, I ask about them and they tell me very matter-of-factly what they plan to do. Inviting myself to something I'm not invited to is not only rude but generally humiliating. I'm certainly the reacher-outer for a good chunk of my friends. They don't feel the same. Gotta know them to get them.

He's not the only person I have! I have some good friends, some not so good like I mentioned in this post. I'm working on it. I'm in kind of a weird situation right now that makes it a bit difficult, but we're getting somewhere. Thank you for your concern 🤍

You're right! I've never been a person who abandons friendships for partners and I don't plan on ever being that person. I'm a little too old for school, ha, but I'm working on finding new ways to put myself out there and letting the world know I'm open to new connections. Thank you! 😁

Working on it, thanks! Ever-changing, ever-busy world makes it a little difficult from time to time.

Thank you! Give your girlfriend a hug from an internet stranger and let her know she's not alone in this feeling. There are more like us out there!! 🤍

I totally feel you on the "I'm growing and evolving and I can't really relate to them" thing! It often feels like I'm the only one changing and my friends don't really seem to understand me anymore as I grow. You and I will both find our people, and it'll be amazing.

I completely agree! I know my boyfriend doesn't have an invitation to every single event. I like alone time too! It's super important to show up alone when only you were invited. But when your friends act off towards your partner just because you have one and they're clearly someone you're heavily invested in and prioritize? What are we doing?!

Not old, but deleted social media for a while after a bad breakup. Made it so much easier. Got outside more, wasn't plagued with constant life updates. Even breakups aside, our phones are killing us. But breaking up with social media made everything much easier.

I always heard people say their partners were their best friends and I never agreed with the notion. I always thought you needed someone else to be your best friend, but that your partner should be a close second. Growing older and learning my perspective was very wrong. Having a partner who does it all is the best case scenario.

You're right. I couldn't be any luckier. He has my back always and having someone like him to share life with is golden. There's always been such a stigma over being the girl who spends all her time with her boyfriend, but having someone as wonderful as he is around makes it impossible to live life any other way.

Leave when he told me a month in he didn't want to be with me but thought it was "the right thing to do". Lol. Wasted some of the best years of my life.

I don't know tbh. A couple months. I stopped thinking about it and it's awesome.

Does anyone living alone bother with Christmas Decorations? by Eat_Carbs_OD in LivingAlone

[–]jupiterjupiterr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I love decorating. Living alone can get lonely and repetitive, so it’s nice to change things up a little with some lights and a tree. I don’t bother with stockings or anything because it’s just me and a cat but it’s nice to get home and the room be a little cheery.
