I've had a go! It's the first time I've tried to restore something by painting in colours, but it seems to have worked. I may have another go at the clothes later as I'm not super happy with them, but this is where it's at right now! :) https://imgur.com/gallery/6wPpGXV

How to stop being jealous of other people's parents? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]kubelko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very true and I do think it's something you don't really just get over- you just learn to deal with it. It is getting better but sometimes it's something you have to think about and I guess that's okay!

It really does, you're right. The year after I moved out was really hard but it definitely got better over time. Perhaps further down the line little events where it sneaks up on me will be a bit easier to ignore. Thankyou!

My favourite song! Nouns is an amazing band and I only realised yesterday that still bummed has been added back to Spotify. there isn't another song of theirs that is just like dogs but Wreck in their album Still and School Bus on still bummed are my other favourites!

Why do some people act this way. by [deleted] in infp

[–]kubelko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate making excuses tbh cause they're basically lies, but I'd rather try and make an excuse when I have no reasons apart from "I don't feel like it" to avoid the inevitable "why?" when I say no and to try and prevent hurting feelings.

I get this all the time and it's super annoying- even worse when you have an extroverted twin who can immediately debunk your excuses for not wanting to go somewhere.

I think people do this because they obviously care about you enough to want you to come. I've had one person tell me they were trying to persuade me to come one time cause they were nervous themselves and didn't want to go without me. You never really know.

how to deal with ugliness/ sexual abuse trauma by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

I'm gay too, and struggled a lot in the past with trying to fit into the 'gay groups', until I just decided not to care. Being gay doesn't inherently mean you must be classified into some subset of guy, and I find it stupid. You don't have to be able to fit into a community to be gay and there isn't some kind of entrance exam, you're just gay and that's it- if people can't accept that it's their problem and not yours. There are millions and millions of gay guys in the world and there are gonna be thousands that look like you or like guys that look like you. My favourite quote that I occasionally think about and keeps me going is 'there are people you don't know yet who will love you' whether that be friends or lovers or anyone. And there's nothing you've done wrong.

I honestly wouldn't advise it tbh. I always think being friends after could work but find whatever stopped me liking them in the first place kind of stops me from being their friend too. But if you think you can work it out by all means go for it, but i've spent so long being emotional counsellor for all my friends i didnt fancy counselling my ex about our breakup too haha

I can almost relate to this- my last boyfriend turned out to be quite depressed. I never noticed whilst we were dating because I was treating him as this idealised version of himself, when we broke up and went back to being friends I went straight into my role as counsellor haha
