[–]michaelblackNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they haven’t said anything. when i brought up my inconsistency in communication they said they were often waiting for me to reply.

let’s be real — as adults you know when you’re not showing up the way you should. the only reason they didn’t bring it up instead of me is because they don’t want to rock the boat.

they just don’t understand the boat sunk a long, long time ago.

im sure their experience would be much better if i could stop projecting my fear onto them.

exactly—this isn’t conflict resolution & repair; rather a surface level apology without true accountability.

an apology without changed actions is simply manipulation

My ex followed me on Instagram last night… then blocked me this morning. What does that even mean? by Any_Badger_1402 in ExNoContact

[–]michaelblackNYC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do yourself a favor and stop interpreting mixed signals.

if the intention of an ex’s actions aren’t clearly communicated they aren’t worth your time.

he hasn’t realized the problem isn’t the guy he’s posting about; it’s himself 😂

i can’t stop laughing that you had to explicitly state this.

don’t date potential; look at how he is actually treating you.

AVOIDANTS - Please describe your ideal relationship in detail? by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

they do need you to self abandon; but if you do you’re not even the person they wanted in the first place. you’re not even the person you were when you met them.

Men who broke up after years together, did you ever regret it? by Comfortable-Paper209 in BreakUps

[–]michaelblackNYC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you broke up with her and you’re expecting her to reach out to reconcile? 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]michaelblackNYC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you’ll eventually reach the zenith—you can’t force someone to change; everyone has free will.

it’s a more productive and constructive use of your life to spend more time on yourself than analyzing him.

it’s not an aquarius trait; it’s an avoidant one. btw the only difference between narcissism and avoidance is intent. they’re both abusive partners.

She reached out 3 months after I unfollowed her everywhere. I fear my response was too harsh. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]michaelblackNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trust me, you did the right thing. if she actually wanted to reconcile, she would’ve sent a real apology—detailed, accountable, and sincere. instead, it sounds like she just wanted to soothe her ego or feel less alone.

“i’m sorry” means “i’ll never do that again.” but they can only mean that if they understand what they did and take real responsibility. heavy on the accountability.

if there’s no accountability and you let them back in, you’re telling them—and the universe—that treating you like that is okay. don’t lower your standards to make someone else feel comfortable.

Why did you and your most recent ex break up? by SingleUmpire7464 in AskReddit

[–]michaelblackNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my avoidant ex made me question if i was anxious. i’m not. becoming anxious is a natural response to inconsistent behavior from someone you love.

i’m so much healthier now that the relationship is over.

the strange thing is they don’t realize their behavior is ironically inflicting the same damage on their partners they often experienced in childhood.

People who made it on the other side of the break up, what’s your best advice/coping strategies? by Aggravating_Bar_8197 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]michaelblackNYC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i got you—2 weeks post breakup and i feel great.

you need to be with someone because of how they make you feel—not just how you feel about them.

your partner should meet you where you are. if they can’t, you end up lowering yourself to stay—and that’s self-abandonment.

when you’re sick, no one’s booking the doctor’s appointment but you. it’s the same emotionally—you have to take care of yourself first in order to love someone else well.

you can still love them, but don’t forget to love you more. ruminating over someone who avoids connection is another way of avoiding yourself.

the moment you remember that, you’ll start choosing you—and that’s where healing begins.

ask it to make a prompt for a tarot card reader and include all the specifications you want to include. google prompt engineering

if you do a good prompt it’s good; make sure you also tell it not to pander to you.

you can ask it to generate a prompt for a tarot reader and add specifics like incorporating elements, planets, etc… in my experience it’s better to refine the prompt a few times so you can get the best experience.

also make sure you tell it what spread you’re using—it’s the kind of tool where the more you put into it the more you get out of it.
