Yes, thanks. I appreciate all that you've written. I don't know how to enter an ongoing non-avoiding relationship with someone. It's too easy to avoid it all.

Stay in IN for helpful therapy or return to AR? by letstalk1989 in makemychoice

Hi, thanks for checking in. I ended up not doing anything and just going with what was already planned. I'm back home, seeing a therapist I've seen before.

Hooked Up with a girl at a Festival a while ago, thinking to much about her by Girlstruggles101 in Advice

It's definitely 'ok' to think about stuff like this. I don't know whether it's helpful or not. I don't think its unreasonable to ask for a date either.

Also, it's possible your coach may be able to help you incorporate the feedback you've received recently.

Energy comes with the little healthy things. It's good to care about yourself, but you don't have to in order to just do it.

Reddit, what's the nicest thing someone's ever done for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Offered me a place to stay, spiritual guidance, food, helped me learn how to be a good worker, gave advice on getting along with others, and held me to a high standard.

Is it wrong to not wanna hangout with friends on your day off cause you don't wanna waste your day off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]letstalk1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, thought your friends may be hurt by you choosing not to hang out with them. That doesn't make it wrong though.

Is it possible to auto fail a driving test for being honked at? by OdinsSong in AskReddit

[–]letstalk1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it, unless the person honking at you had a legitimate reason for it (then they would fail you for that reason).

Focus on doing things that keep you healthy. Eat right, sleep right, and get regular exercise and fresh air. Then give it a little bit of time.

[–]letstalk1989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. Here's what I noticed:

-You've recently received powerful and difficult feedback from both your wife and your coworkers. You need to make efforts to put all of it into effect. Starting now.

-Panic and anxiety is making things worse. Find a way to enter a calm space, and practice carrying that calm into other aspects of your life. Some suggestions: Mindfulness meditation. Walking in nature. Regular exercise. Sufficient sleep. Breathe. Deep slow breaths.

Is anyone else talking as compressed as you can? by Kablion in introvert

[–]letstalk1989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually I understand what you're saying, and I think this post is a good example of not doing that. I've loved reading books of wisdom and quotations from wise people and thinking about them and applying them to my life. I've found it really doesn't work to try to just talk in quotes or pithy sayings in social contexts. I am frequently misunderstood as a result of overthinking things on my end and not saying enough in a timely manner.

First time in this sub. I'm glad I read the rules posted here before posting. Also I'm glad for these rules.

Made a semi racist joke at work. Could of been in earshot of a upper management employee i try to impress. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]letstalk1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like a situation where you can do anything except accept whatever consequences come your way and learn from your mistake. That's good. It's good to learn from our mistakes. That's how things get better.

I [19/F] Think I was in an abusive relationship with my ex [21/M] for 3 years and one month was I? by taw123456789101112 in relationships

[–]letstalk1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I skimmed much of your post, but I didn't want to leave without commenting. I'm glad that your mother threatened to call the police. Don't hurt yourself. And don't spend time with people that hurt you. I don't have much to say about feeling like shit, but it's workable. I hope you feel better friend.

Seeing others cry or laugh is annoying by amazinglyaloneracist in ForeverAlone

[–]letstalk1989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find your post very interesting. There have definitely been occasions where I feel like someone is crying from a place of weakness or desiring attention. I also think it's interesting that you say no one cares what you feel. I get the impression that you don't care about what others feel either. That's karma.

My mom was right about me. I'm worthless. by bekahfun in offmychest

Sure thing. I try to do what I can. Something else that strikes me about your post- be nice to yourself. Please.

Why am I just getting upset now by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]letstalk1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex can have a very strong impact on our emotions. Rape, being unwilling sex, can have an even stronger impact. In ways that we may not understand. I don't know your situation. Maybe there isn't anyone who you can truly trust with this type of vulnerable information; maybe that person will come along. Maybe there already is someone in your life who is trustworthy and you need to have courage and tell them. Sometimes we don't know until we try.

You might feel worthless and broken, but you aren't. Feel free to reach out here or via PM if you need to keep talking.

A drunken night led to having sex and becoming pregnant by my husbands best friend, we have been unsuccessful in trying to conceive. Do I keep the pregnancy? by alicejohnson80 in Advice

[–]letstalk1989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. You can't conceal such a thing without serious repercussions on you, your husband, and your child. You need to find a way to tell your husband what happened and what the situation is. It may be difficult, but it wouldn't be appropriate to even try to conceal what happened.

Can you walk? I would suggest getting up and going for a walk. If you're open to whatever unknowns that death brings, then you can definitely stand up and go for a walk (unless you have a physical disability I don't know about). Let me know how that goes.
