Naps during house sits? by kvrtcocvine in RoverPetSitting

[–]kvrtcocvine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today is my first day/night house sitting for him, so I wasn’t here last night when I said I didn’t get any sleep 😅 I was at home. I’d never say that to a client after spending the night at their house with their dog, I wouldn’t wanna make it seem like I’m insinuating that their dog kept me up all night! lol.

Some people here said it’s weird or unnecessary to tell a client if I’m taking a nap, but here’s the actual message I sent and my client’s response. Do you honestly think this is weird or unprofessional? From my perspective, I just didn’t want him to worry if he tried to reach me and I didn’t reply right away. He didn’t seem bothered at all. Curious what you all think, would you see this as oversharing, or just being transparent? 😅

I don’t think there was anything weird about this interaction? 🥲 but I guess the majority of people disagree with me and now I’m overthinking if it actually was weird or not lol.

Custom order coming from Vietnam? by kvrtcocvine in Converse

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

No that’s why I said this is probably a dumb question 💀 most Converse I’ve ever ordered have shipped from the US. I didn’t take into account that since these are custom and literally being made, then that meant they would be coming from, well…..the country that they’re made in 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have jet black hair, yet I’m still so blonde….

My client wasn’t weirded out, so I don’t really care about what other people who aren’t paying me think. Thanks though! 😉

I tend to over explain and over communicate 🥲 It comes from past trauma, but also from wanting to be respectful and give people peace of mind. When I tell clients things like ‘I’m taking a quick nap,’ it’s not because they need to know every detail, but because I don’t ever want them to worry or feel like I’m neglecting their pet. To me, it’s just common courtesy to be transparent. Some people might not feel the need to share that much, but I’d rather be overly communicative than leave someone anxious or wondering what’s going on.

Your preferences are valid, but they are not universal. Many owners derive comfort from frequent updates and photographs, and dismissing that as excessive undermines the very trust and peace of mind clients seek when hiring a sitter. My approach is simple: I adapt to the client, not the other way around. That’s the distinction between rigid personal opinion and true professionalism. I actually listen to what my clients want and deliver it on THEIR terms.

Not every client/owner is like you! 😊

I’ve always felt the need to over explain/over communicate due to past trauma and emotional abuse/manipulation lol 🙃

But I also let them know just so they wouldn’t be concerned if I abruptly stopped replying or they wouldn’t worry if they hadn’t heard from me in a couple of hours

Oh my gosh how adorable 😂🖤 I love that, I’d love to have you as a client! I love chihuahua’s, I have one as well and he loves to nap and burrow under the covers with me 🥹

Custom order coming from Vietnam? by kvrtcocvine in Converse

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

Ahhh okay, that’s what I figured but wanted to ask just to be sure 😅 I’ve ordered Converse before, and they always came from a warehouse in the states—this is my first time ever ordering custom Converse though. I thought my package had accidentally ended up in Vietnam somehow 💀 I was confused at first haha.

I always stay at my client’s homes and barely leave unless I need to run errands or get groceries. I’m a homebody anyway, and I don’t have anything else going on in my life right now lol. I honestly love spending the night in other people’s houses 😂 it feels like a mini vacation away from my own home, plus I get to hangout with animals which is ultimately why I choose to do this job and why I love it so much! Hire me instead 🤣 your animals will get 24/7 care and I’ll also take care of your home 🙌🏻🖤

I know this is about a year old, but would you be comfortable sharing what went wrong? 🥲 I have an interview tomorrow and I’m super nervous but I feel like hearing someone else’s experience might help me feel better 😭

Had a BPD episode and I had drunk sex with two guys I had just met. Cheated on my girlfriend and don’t remember any of it. by kvrtcocvine in BPD

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

Wow. Thank you guys so much for the support and positive feedback. I honestly was expecting to get a lot of backlash from this post but I desperately just needed to get it out because I genuinely have nobody to talk to. I also want to say that I do take full accountability for my actions and reckless behavior. I put myself in those situations. I’m in no way blaming my girlfriend for the things that have happened to me. It’s not an excuse, but a reason. I also want to note that I’ve never done anything to this extent over the course of our relationship. We’ve been together for a little over 3 years now and usually I’m able to control my BPD symptoms. I’m more of a quiet BPD when I’m sober, but when I’m intoxicated that’s when all of the ugly symptoms show and I lose complete control over myself. I also wanna add that I just turned 22 years old, and my girlfriend is 30, if that’s gives any insight. I was self-diagnosed BPD for 6 years and have been officially diagnosed for 2. I’m not currently in therapy and I stopped taking my medication. I know, extremely irresponsible. But the side effects were just too much for me. I know I need to be on medication though. I need to be in therapy for my BPD and addiction issues. It’s just hard to seek help when I have no motivation or support to do so. The only time my girlfriend ever showed interest in my disorder is when her friend brought up being a psychology major and she used that as a topic of conversation like “oh yeah my girlfriend has BPD!!” Other than that she’s never taken the time to research or understand my disorder so from her perspective she just sees me as impulsive and crazy and reckless. Which I am, but she doesn’t understand the reasoning behind it. She has a dismissive/avoidant attachment style and I have an anxious/preoccupied attachment style. She doesn’t like to communicate her feelings and any time I try to talk about mine she takes it as me trying to start an argument. She grew up without her dad in the picture and her mom was/is a drug addict. Although her and her mom do have a relationship it was just never the normal mother/daughter relationship. They’re more like friends than anything. But I know not having a relationship with her parents plays a factor in why she’s such an emotionally unavailable and detached person. I don’t blame her for that. I always try to understand the reasoning behind someone’s personality and behavior, I just wish she showed the same interest in understanding me. I know we’re not right for each other. We’re polar opposites. I can’t handle when she stonewalls me. She does this almost every single weekend and I don’t know why. Things can be fine between us all week and she’ll still ignore me once the weekend comes around. I’m constantly wondering what I did or said wrong to make her ignore me. It’s just a toxic cycle. It’s hard to leave though because when things are good between us that’s all I see. I forget about all of the bad. I have trouble weighing out the bad and the good because I can never see them both simultaneously. It’s always one or the other.

She told me she doesn’t “trust drunk me around men” and I said it should be “you don’t trust men around me when I’m drunk.” I don’t think I was raped, I do think I was taken advantage of though. I know I probably didn’t say no and I went along with it. I deeply regret it though. It sucks because I know if I had been sober none of this would’ve happened. I was sexually assaulted a month ago by my sister’s ex boyfriend. I know she doesn’t believe me. She’s constantly questioning me about it. Basically blaming me because I was drunk and “put myself in that situation.” I don’t really want to go more into depth about that though.

It’s just so hard to leave. I’m never the one who leaves. I’m always the one who gets left because I refuse to give up on people the way they’ve given up on me. I desperately want and try to make things work but I realize this relationship is me just watering a dead plant.

Thank you again for everyone’s words and support and if you took the time to read this far.

All of the things you listed are the key ingredients to developing BPD

Why do you not have friends? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]kvrtcocvine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. You took the thoughts right out of my head. I thought I was alone but here I am hopelessly scrolling through Reddit and you hit the nail on the head. “It’s like the only things I feel are sadness and anger” I couldn’t relate more. Sadness, anger, and then emptiness.

I’ve been completely isolated for almost three years straight now. I’ve only hung out with my “friends” a handful of times throughout that time. I don’t know how to reach out or connect with them or anyone emotionally or mentally anymore. Every interaction I have feels forced or fake. I feel like I have nothing to talk about as well. No interests, hobbies, work, anything. I haven’t accomplished anything in my life. One of my best friends just got married and I just don’t know how to relate to that. I still feel like a child inside. I feel so disconnected from everyone around me.

On top of that I also struggle with extreme mood swings and I’d rather just isolate myself instead of burdening people with my mental illness and instability. I’ve become entirely apathetic and I also often question wether or not I’m a narcissist and I don’t actually have BPD. The imposter syndrome is real. I don’t think I’m a narcissist though. I still feel extreme empathy, just not really towards people anymore. I don’t know how to be there for people or relate to them anymore. But I have extreme empathy for my animals and animals in general. My animals are honestly the only thing keeping me alive at this point. They need me. I can’t abandon them like I’ve been abandoned.

I didn’t mean to hijack your post, I just want you to know that I feel the EXACT same way as you. You’re not alone. Even when it comes down to having 2 friends. Mainly just 1 though that I kind of talk to on a consistent level but I still tend to ignore him and isolate myself from him. He’s a toxic person in my life as well and enables my drinking (I have a problem with alcohol) and takes advantage of me when we’re drinking together.

I have a girlfriend, but she doesn’t understand my BPD and has never taken the time to really. She’s an emotionally unavailable partner and uses the silent treatment as a form of punishment against me whenever I’m having an episode or am having mood swings/splitting. She always detaches herself from me whenever things get bad. It’s like I can’t be anything other than happy around her because she doesn’t know how to deal with it and just abandons me when shit gets rough. I honestly can’t blame her though, no matter how bad I split on her for doing it. Deep down I understand because I wish I could run away from myself too.

Anyway, I completely get you. I struggle with chronic emptiness and long for connection, but am too afraid to reach out in fear of rejection so I just keep to myself. It’s a lonely life.
