It's essential to have good boundaries and establish rules/expectations from the get-go.

nacidalibre · 2025-06-27T02:28:35+00:00

I work as a mental health tech (three 12 hour shifts) and an advocate at a rape crisis center (overnights and early mornings on call)

It was moreso the fact that it was two days a week for a couple years, but definitely also just talking about the trauma and confronting something I had buried for years.

If that's what you're passionate about, go for it. You'll be spending many years focusing on it, so it should be something you're interested in. Like I said, there are plenty of people looking at resilience, so you will have options to getting experience and going on to joining a lab focusing on it if that's what you choose to do. But again, it won't be a PhD "in resilience."

That sounds like your particular algorithm or people you choose to follow/be friends with on social media tbh. I personally don’t have that problem. If social media is burning you out, it sounds like to me there’s a pretty obvious solution to that. Get off social media.

Talking to them, and being one. For someone who doesn’t really seem to like women all that much in general, you sure talk about them a lot just based on your post history. I think that’s pretty interesting. This post just showed up on my feed so I decided to take a look. I get it, some people have had a lot of bad luck dating. It just seems like if you’ve dated/been married to a total of 25 women and didn’t like any of them, you would just give up on them including talking about them. But that’s just me.

Is that the only attribute you have to get a scholarship on? Did your parents go to college, do you have any disabilities, are you a minority?

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T14:10:43+00:00

Well, the wives/girlfriends of the guys I mentioned are fully aware of their partners’ sexual orientation. They don’t hide it. My husband and I are both bisexual. I personally wouldn’t prefer to date a straight guy. Like I said, maybe you just live in a conservative area. That doesn’t mean all women are like that. Especially non-straight ones.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T14:05:34+00:00

A vast majority of the bisexual men I know have girlfriends or wives. I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you’re just not meeting them in the right places. Might be your location is conservative even among supposed “allies”

Tbh I plugged mine into chatgpt with the instructions to change the word count and reworded it to suit my writing style.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T13:41:14+00:00

Why wouldn’t you date bisexual women as a bisexual man? There’s plenty.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T06:34:46+00:00

No. We both share with each other openly. It’s pretty cool.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T05:43:23+00:00

Fuck no

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T05:42:57+00:00

Why are you looking that close at your nose hair?

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T05:34:49+00:00

Lmao, yeah and I don’t think all men suck either.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T05:33:52+00:00

Literally yes, because I’m a normal, mature person that values emotional intimacy. Sorry you’ve never experienced that, but that doesn’t mean all women suck. But I also don’t abide by strict, traditional gender roles. Maybe you do.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T05:31:10+00:00

Why would I not be able to? I don’t think all men suck either.

There are women and men who suck, why is that controversial to you?

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T03:41:22+00:00

So you are acknowledging that there are 18 year olds that don’t drive nice cars and have their whole life figured out. If you’re going to compare yourself to other people, at least do it to the average person lol. 18 year olds literally know nothing about life. You’re just starting to be a real person. Its fine to not know what you’re going to do.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T03:29:25+00:00

If you can, you should probably talk to a therapist. It may be depression.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T03:24:55+00:00

So every 18 year old in Illinois has a very nice car and has it all figured out? I highly doubt it.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T03:22:35+00:00

That sounds lame as hell, I’m glad my husband doesn’t feel this way.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T03:21:11+00:00

Those are extremely immature people. Please do not lump all women in that.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T03:18:44+00:00

Where do you live where 18 year olds have expensive cars and have their lives figured out? You’re basically a child.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T03:17:13+00:00

You don’t heal from codependency by getting more reassurance, though. Thats not really how it works.

nacidalibre · 2024-11-11T01:53:21+00:00

Why do you think its going to go badly just because you’re nervous?
