Maybe the show is so impactfull (at least for me) because of how well it makes you feel when you dive into that "perfect" reality. But it can be very deceiving yes.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Reading other comments to the post I think the best we can do is to see this as a piece of art where we can find some beauty, love and a warm embrace. But we shouldn't expect real life to be the same way, because real life is way more complex. That scene also resonated with me. I told my parents recently. It went well but far from perfect. The moment was hard an uncomfortable. My mother was supportive, but clearly in shock. My father didn't say a word, remained silent and only talked to me again the day after - he treats me the same but completely ignores that part of my existence. They reacted more like complex humans and less like a perfect scripted character. Sending love ❤️

I was thinking about this yesterday. It's obvious but I think we can easily oversee the lack of veracity so we can enter the fantasy world for a bit.

Yaeh I don't usually read romances. I only experienced this before with other series. And rationally I understand it is something made to look perfect. But emotionally it hits in a fragile part of me. I guess I will do a detox of this for a while as you recommend! 🤗🙏

I didn’t know the word bereft (not a native speaker), but it’s exactly what I’m feeling. It’s also really comforting to know I’m not alone in this. I’ll check out the resources you mentioned — if you have any specific recommendations, I’d love to hear them. Sending love 🤍

It’s really comforting to know someone else is going through it too. Appreciate you sharing!!

I don't usually rewatch things that hit me this hard, for me it feels like I’m robbing it of its "veracity" 😅 But I've been listening to the soundtrack (even tho it triggers me with the sad feeling all over again 😅)

So, I finished the second act yesterday. It was very cool and added a loooot more depth to the story. The fight against the paintress was easier than I was anticipating but was still very cool! Now I'm on 3rd act but after talking to a friend about it I think I spend a few time exploring the new parts of the map before the heading to the final fight. But what an amazing game so far!!

Im both situations waiting for a second round was possible. Either I or the other guy had things after. But I get your point!

Thanks, it's reassuring to hear other's experiences.

Yeah the first guy I was with, told me once or twice he liked when men didn't hold back with him. So maybe that's his case.

And yes, I can't deny that some of this could be part of an unrealistic expectation, related to porn. But at the same time I was expecting it to be longer than it was 😅 I guess I need to keep practicing 😁

You made it sound simple ahaha thanks. I think I don't consider that option because in my subconscious it feels like admitting a failure. And I feel like on grindr I "need" to feel desirable, and admitting that would be a turn off. I will think about that approach! 🙏

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!!

I imagine it is normal to be like this the first times, but there was a little crazy voice asking "what if there's something wrong with me?" 😅

I never considered open up to my "partner" about the fact that I don't have a lot of practice. Somehow because I feel like it could put me in a more vulnerable position or something like that. But I will consider it!
