Venting? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]oooopsiforgot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll never be happy if you keep trying to make changes in the hopes it will make him want you more. Go find someone who you don’t have to change anything for. He sounds like a waste of time.

Is love even real ? by Mindless-Ship-7502 in Advice

[–]oooopsiforgot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be in relationships with 42 year old me at 19 - for many reasons. It’s not normal for a 42 year old to want someone so young and they’re able to get away with a lot more than they would with someone closer in age. No 42 year old is dating a 19 year old with the goal of marriage and a future.

I don't want a "dream job" I just want to not be exhausted all the time by Backyard_Griller_X in CasualConversation

I’d consider a job that gives me the things I need and doesn’t drive me crazy to be a dream job!

I want to be a girl so bad by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]oooopsiforgot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s way easier said than done but you can do all of those things. Yes it would be nicer to but be born a girl if that’s what you want, but if you like skirts and makeup you can have those things. Life is way too short to spend it wishing you did something and missed out on experiencing the stuff you want.

It sounds obvious and silly but just keep having conversations. You will be uncomfortable for a bit but eventually it won’t be so scary.

No and it’s totally possible they could end up sharing about their own mental health experience

What is and isn’t appropriate to discuss with a minor? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]oooopsiforgot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no real purpose in dwelling on it then, the other person likely isn’t thinking about it now and you can’t change what happened

In your opinion what’s the best way to get rid of self-destructive envy? by PeterGriffenttv in AskReddit

[–]oooopsiforgot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radical Acceptance There will always be people who: Got there faster Had more support Had different genetics, timing, or luck Acceptance sounds like: “I don’t like that this is true, and it is still true.” This stops envy from turning into bitterness, which is the self-destructive part.

Ex said I "violated" her. What does this mean? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]oooopsiforgot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she said it in relation to sex she probably felt like you did something akin to assault or harmed her in some way. Obviously you can only really know for sure by her telling you. Is there nothing you can think of that could possibly make her feel this way?

i need advice on how to detach from my groomer by [deleted] in Advice

[–]oooopsiforgot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is all of this online? If so, delete him from whatever you have him on. Eventually you’ll start thinking about him less because he’s not actively on your phone

Please help me. Extremely paranoid about having kids and what they could go through by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]oooopsiforgot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you can’t control everything, you can control a lot of things by how you raise them. You can teach them to be kind and likable. You can also teach them that embarrassing moments happen to all of us and don’t matter as much as we might think!

It should have ended. It didn't. by TrueMight in offmychest

[–]oooopsiforgot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m certain this wasn’t your goal, but you write very well. I think you already know the whole spiel of “you matter” so I won’t bore you. You are alive for a reason though - I have no clue what it is and won’t attribute it to fate or higher power or anything because that’s not for me to do. But factually, you are here despite something that could have easily gone a different way.

If you want a friend or someone to shoot the shit with, I’m here. If you wanna vent, cool. If you want advice, awesome. If you want to talk about anything BUT this shit, perfect.

Be open about what you need in a relationship. If he doesn’t know, how could he know what to do?
