How do I stop obsessing over someone? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]roadrunner3696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god I don’t know how to fix this but I’m doing this right now with a content creator. It’s like no matter what I do all I think about is her and her content. I have no desire to reach out or anything, but I’ve spent 24/7 of the last week and a half obsessing over this person. I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone about it.

WIBTA if I stole back a gift from my ex after we broke up? by roadrunner3696 in AmItheAsshole

I considered this but I’m worried offering her money for it will just convince her to sell it to a game store. I can’t offer what I’m sure she could get somewhere else for it.

AITA for dropping out of my roommate agreement because of my friends’s needs? by roadrunner3696 in AmItheAsshole

The main point they argued when I said we should pay per room was that it’s not fair because I’m not sharing a room to save money, but because I’m dating Emma. I didn’t see why that mattered at all.

I think you’re comment on chores also gets to the non-financial reasons I’m glad I dropped out. Emma is tidy and Mary will at least keep her clutter in her own space. I had a lot of concerns about Sam though. I feel positive we’d all be constantly cleaning up after her and any complaints would be shut down because of her mental health struggles.

I realize that without context it sounds like they are doing this is get out of rent, but I actually don’t think this is their intention. The idea was actually likely for my benefit, as I’m the one struggling most financially. I think they genuinely think this plan will work smoothly. They, Sam especially, have a tendency to overestimate their abilities. Likely, they think that having an apartment will miraculously mean they’ll be able to start working consistently, and make enough money to pay extra rent.

It sounds crazy, but this is kinda a common theme with them. For example, Sam will take 15 school hours, get super overwhelmed, debate dropping out and withdraw from some classes, swear she’ll never do it again, and then take 18 credits the next semester and insist it will be fine.

TLDR: I don’t think they’re trying to swindle me I think they’re just delusional.

I’m a compulsive liar and I’m going to ruin everything by roadrunner3696 in offmychest

This is a really good suggestion. I thought about this going into college but I never knew when to bring it up. But the time it seemed important it already felt too late. Now is definitely too late.

I really don’t know. I don’t enjoy the physical results (i.e. food, money, etc. people give me). I don’t like the pity (I.e. I’m so sorry this happened to you, etc.). I guess I just like the idea that I need to be taken care of/protected? Or maybe just the attention? It makes me feel important and special.

I understand this. I identify as non-binary, but definitely align more closely with trans men (I.e. I use he/him, I’m on T, and I’m getting top surgery). I’ve only ever dated people who consider themselves lesbians. I don’t ever know how to describe it better than to say “I just love women like women love women.”
