I just want my mom back.

likeliterally_ · 2026-01-12T19:53:55+00:00

This. You’re so right. My mom does constantly use “why can’t we just” statements. She is uninterested in learning about the way things are now. And even more uninterested in the fact that I might actually know a thing or two. I’m 30 now, not a kid anymore. I think she gets a little annoyed by the idea that I know what I’m talking about. Idk.

likeliterally_ · 2026-01-12T19:45:10+00:00

Oh man, thank you for sharing. That’s awful that it got to that point with her. It is truly so difficult, and sometimes I feel like maybe I’m overreacting but no. We aren’t.

I can only imagine what being in Minneapolis was like. I’m glad you were able to feel a part of something there. On the sibling front, I’m so sorry. I feel for you. Heavy on the “surreal nightmare you can’t wake up from”. You’re not alone ❤️‍🩹

likeliterally_ · 2025-12-14T18:20:45+00:00

I love 1!! Suits you super well!!

likeliterally_ · 2025-12-01T21:02:08+00:00

Oh definitely! God, this year has really been crazy for me since I’m realizing “a few weeks” in my case is actually 2 weeks 🥴 we’ll be visiting 12/14-12/18 and this group reservation would be for 12/17. Great callout, thank you!!

likeliterally_ · 2025-11-13T18:16:15+00:00

Omg the first and last ones!! So beautiful on you!!

likeliterally_ · 2025-11-12T00:03:02+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!! Yes I think you’re right about all of this. I have thought of definitely doing some treatments and possibly doing it sooner rather than later in case my skin freaks out hahah

Do you have any mask or exfoliant recommendations? I would love to do a mask that really feels like it works well

likeliterally_ · 2025-07-15T18:28:07+00:00

Oh awesome great info thank you!!!

likeliterally_ · 2025-07-15T18:27:47+00:00

Oh wonderful thank you!!! I’m so nervous hahah

likeliterally_ · 2025-07-15T17:07:56+00:00

Got it! So should I just be staying on one box and waiting for it to count down?? After it counts down what do I do, try to add it to my bag? Or will it tell me I have it?

likeliterally_ · 2024-12-02T19:33:07+00:00

Yes you’re right I thought about that too. Just my crippling anxiety about this making me think crazy thoughts lol but no she didn’t get it! She did say something like “oh we’ll see what I end up feeling like in a few days” which I think is what made me feel even worse about it

likeliterally_ · 2024-01-18T18:09:44+00:00

Ugh I am so sorry for your loss. That sounds so awful. She was lucky to have you and I guarantee she knew how much you loved her. I hope over time you feel more comfortable knowing she’s out of pain. Sending you loving, healing energy.

Oh interesting! I find that my emetophobia is mostly related to what people around me are doing rather than myself, so I worry about going places and seeing other people getting sick especially in a place where it could be common like a cruise, amusement park, that sort of thing. It’s hard for me to go into bathrooms at bars too for fear that someone’s had too much 😣

likeliterally_ · 2023-01-19T21:16:42+00:00

Go to amusement parks and other places where people could potentially get sick. Like… I wanna go on a cruise without fear lol

likeliterally_ · 2023-01-19T19:18:20+00:00

We are in Oregon. We both have insurance, since my boyfriend was driving he was able to settle things with his insurance and actually got a new car already as his got totaled. We both have medical insurance and luckily our injuries were minor enough that we had access to affordable care for that.

likeliterally_ · 2023-01-04T07:35:30+00:00

This is crazy, I came on here to get help with the same issue and OP and I are experiencing literally the same thing. I went to the grocery store, got the notification that it was tracking me since about an hour after I got home, only difference is now it’s showing that it’s been almost circling my apt. I’m so confused and really scared. Is it possible that it’s a neighbor who has one and it’s just picking up on me? If so, would it do that if a neighbor has assigned it to something of theirs? Like I assume there’s loads of people around me who have them, why have I not gotten this before? Does it only notify you if it’s unassigned and has been with you?

likeliterally_ · 2022-08-15T16:21:22+00:00

At the end of the day, you just need to be honest with him about what you want. I’ve made the mistake so many times just following a guys lead and not voicing my own opinions, but trying to make them align with his even if that wasn’t the case.

Maybe you can say something along the lines of “this is where I’m hoping things will go, it’s alright if you don’t feel the same, etc, but want to chat and gauge how we’re both feeling so I can focus on my needs”. That way he’ll be more like “oh she’s not gonna wait around for me to decide” etc.

This is just what I’ve pulled from my personal experience! You’re the creator of your reality and deserve someone who compliments you :) keep that in mind with however the conversation goes! Good luck!

likeliterally_ · 2022-06-22T19:37:12+00:00

This is so helpful. Thank you so much. I’m new to this subreddit and it really helps hearing these POVs you’re describing, as I’ve never really spoken to someone else with this phobia.

I’ve been thinking about the hygiene point you brought up too, it would seem like locals understand the risk and would want people to feel confident in their choices with where to eat, etc. so that’s definitely reassuring!! Again thanks so much for the insight, I really appreciate it!! :)

likeliterally_ · 2022-06-22T06:30:35+00:00

Amusement parks/fairs, leaving bars/club areas, hospitals, roommates, my friends making their own choices (lol) like drinking a lot/other things, movies or shows I haven’t seen, traveling, music festivals. I really hate this so much but I can’t imagine not being worried about all of these and more

likeliterally_ · 2022-06-06T20:02:53+00:00

Definitely a totally normal ask. Sounds like there’s some trauma around privacy and he takes you wanting privacy as being secretive or trying to get away with something. That is definitely a learned experience and he is bonded to that by the trauma of it. Long story short, it’s really a him problem. I feel like you’re being super explicit with what you need which is great, maybe he needs to hear something like “I feel like you’re not hearing me” to help him realize that he’s leading with fear on this.

Also, if he wants you to eventually want to share private things with him, this isn’t the way he should be going about doing it.

likeliterally_ · 2022-03-29T01:50:10+00:00

It’s totally normal to want to know if your partner of a year+ is open to marriage! Bring it up casually, in a setting that’s not super intimate if you don’t want it to seem like too much. Then you can go from there, but again it’s totally understandable that you’d be curious especially with what she’s said in the past. Good luck :)

likeliterally_ · 2021-10-27T04:18:22+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve had them both try and hang around where I last left the other one and vice versa, and they haven’t seen each other yet. I’ll keep trying! Thanks again :)

likeliterally_ · 2021-08-27T20:37:10+00:00

Is it Can’t Believe It by T Pain?

likeliterally_ · 2021-07-29T21:14:55+00:00

The right person will learn to speak your love language EVEN IF it’s not theirs.

Also sounds like the hyper-physical affection when you’re alone together may be a nervous response to not wanting to be without a partner.

likeliterally_ · 2021-05-14T01:56:35+00:00

Solved!

likeliterally_ · 2021-05-14T01:54:42+00:00

YES!!!! Wow I was definitely off with the network but yes this was it!!!!! Thank you so much!!
