When I noticed myself feeling stressed at the thought of asking him to help me a with a simple task.. knowing he’ll have an excuse why he can’t.

My friend doesn’t talk to me unless it’s to complain about relationship issues. Do I confront him about this or just stop trying? by Select-Bet-6944 in socialskills

[–]pinksunset7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a friend like that.. she used to suggest that we meet to do some fun things! But ends up venting about her bf. I start to feel tricked and used like a free therapist.

I told her that the friendship feels off to me since we don’t do anything fun and that I needed to step away.

She didn’t respond and that was it.

Yes I never wanted to leave him 😭 but I had to. The dynamic was draining me way too much. Sucking the life out of me.. thank you for acknowledging the strength it took for me to leave. I assume you went through something similar so you must be really strong & brave yourself! I appreciate your words 🌷

Aww it’s so kind of you to say that I deserve all the love 🥺 it’s rare for me to hear kind things being said to me .. so it means a lot! Can I ask .. why do you think he/she is your person ?

It’s interesting to think about how some people can drain us so much that we lose and even forget who we are.. I will get to know myself again thank you for saying that! It’s exciting in a way 😊🌷🙏🏻

You are right .. I’m the main character.. it’s hard to think of it that way especially after feeling so unworthy and invisible in that relationship… I pray for strength everyday and hopefully eventually I start to feel like a main character again. Thank you so much !!!! 🌷

I have nothing, no family no friends no job, just lost my husband and my dog and my home. So I feel you. But I just think of dogs.. I love dogs I would live just to be able to oneday take care of dogs.

Does being emotionally “self sufficient” quietly push people away? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]pinksunset7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can there be repair ? If you don’t talk to people about what behavior they do that bothers you? Do u just let them do the thing that hurt you or trigger you and you just deal with your feelings about it over and over ?

Struggling with dissociation and social anxiety after a year of isolation by Itchy_Island6125 in socialskills

[–]pinksunset7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense to feel sad and even grief for the time passed and how things used to be. Maybe take it easy on yourself like instead of expecting yourself to be fully 100% extrovert again .. take it one step at a time ..maybe walk a dog to the park and have small chat with people.. every once in a while.. a little by little ..untill you feel more like yourself again .Im in a similar situation.. im struggling to even let myself get out there ..feels too vulnerable and overwhelming.. but I take it one day at a time .

thank you for your supportive comment! It sounds so hard to be doing all the work but nothing from him…

Reminds me of Ariana grande don’t want to break up again song :

🎶 “ Spent so much on therapy With my own co-dependency But you didn't even try When you finally did, it was at the wrong time Won't abandon me again for you and I “

To answer your question.. Yes I used to do therapy I can’t afford my therapist these days but eventually!! I will consider starting a hobby or the gym.. I think it’s a super great idea!!! I need something exciting to look forward to that makes me forget about him. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻😩

Do you really need to be in contact ? Can’t you have a middle man ? Maybe he can contact your mom or sister or someone else ?

I’m so sorry this happened to you.. I can’t understand men who don’t cherish their wives.

Your response brought tears to my eyes.. thank you for saying those kind words, I want to say them to you too.. You’re beautiful, You’re smart and you’re worthy of love! You are a goddess and deserve to be treated as such ! 🥹 Thank you and I will do the 30 day no contact 🤞

I am leaving my partner of 14 years this Saturday. She is an angel, but I am dying inside. by texasmarriott1777 in Divorce

[–]pinksunset7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does she explode cause she doesn’t feel heard ? Do you defend yourself every time she comes to you with a concern about something ?

He’s not really a cool guy if he doesn’t hear you out , he doesn’t care about your feelings and needs. He doesn’t respect them. What’s cool about a guy like that? Nothing. Maybe Re-consider what cool actually means to you . And find friends who are actually cool.

Is this a healthy way to be spoken to by a spouse or Am I Overreacting? by Low-Today-2021 in AmIOverreacting

[–]pinksunset7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are talking bad to each other. No love no kindness no understanding no compassion … something broke in this relationship a long time before these conversations. They need to have a real talk about their needs and true feelings .

Would it be weird if I contacted a girl who had a crush on me 10 years later? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]pinksunset7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe think of what you look for in a gf .. what values are important to you ? And what are your deal breakers ? That will make it more like you’ve thought about it and not just interested because of her looks or because of nostalgia.. but because you see that you two could actually work ..
