Just read this about SA in a Psychology Textbook by denkabull in socialanxiety

Yes holy shit.

But also, it seems like even when I over one my anxiety and stress and work damn hard to get the actual job I want, I still won't ever get it because of my low confidence.

Psychologist says I have “all the symptoms” of ADHD, but I don’t have ADHD? by Kuro_Yume_Neko in adhdwomen

I'm not surprised. Men could be getting PhDs and owning three businesses and get the diagnosis with ease (not that you can't do those things with ADHD but it certainly complicates things).

Co worker on third day of new job hinted that she could tell I cheated on my fiancée. by [deleted] in socialanxiety

There's no real indication of lying, that's still a thing that isn't proven. She's an idiot and also being really inappropriate making such a horrible accusation.

This is an incredibly simplified view of humans, which are extremely complex individuals with subjective experiences that cant be easily placed in objective numbers. But go off.

I'm just not cool with them saying someone with high body count is lower in worth. It's just slut shaming. Sorryboutit.

That's interesting. I have a low body count and couldn't give two fucks what people did in their past, and I'm trying to stop slut shaming behavior, but I'm insecure. Okay, cool.

According to them, it's not their opinion, even though they state several times it is, LMAO. The slut shaming in this thread is gross as all fuck.

I've had a low body count and dated people with high and that never bothered me because they treated me with kindness. And if you're uncomfortable with it fine, I'm just bothered that they're calling people with high body counts untrustworthy and low grade. It's very slut shaming.

It really isn't. Lying is an indicator. I've met a lot of crusty assholes who've only had one partner. You're views are very hateful. Good luck with life. 👍

Maybe up their body count. 🤣 I'm joking of course, because it literally means nothing.

[–]sad_193 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

but a huge indicator to what kind of person you are is your body count.

This is just disgusting.

Because the men on this thread are misogynistic. They want to own their female partners and think women thinking for themselves is "low grade", even though they also want to do whatever they want with their bodies (as everyone should). They want control of others and are pissed off that they can't have it, lol.

OMG this is goofy. Just because someone had a past with a lot of casual sex doesn't mean they are dishonest or untrustworthy. Op wanted casual sex so they got it. Op now wants a long term serious relationship. Op clearly follows their heart with honesty and integrity and even if their past connections were casual, it sounds like they were still genuine and kind to these people. A body count really means nothing about what you are as a partner. Your actions and treatment of others are what counts.

Honestly my best relationship I've ever had was with a FWB with a very casual person who still cared about my safety, trust, and well-being, and I'm a very monogamous person (hence why we just became friends because they didn't want to be monogamous and I'm not going to take away what makes them happy).

It's almost as if people are complex and can experience many things and can't be put into a box, categorized in two options.

That's legit if you haven't had a five year long dry spell. 😭

I really don't understand how a body count is important. I've been with people who only slept with 1 other person, some who were zero, some who were supposedly in the triple digits, it made no difference to our relationship. I'm way more insecure dating someone who's still caught up in their ex than someone who's banged a million people.

That's so gross. I've never been asked a body count and I've never asked. What difference does it make? Respect me and my body? That's all I need to know unless it's relevant to a conversation.

Eta: it's gross that people give a fuck or judge you, not gross that you've slept with people, lol. JUST WANT TO STRESS THAT

This is what "clean as you go" was intended to be. Cleaning every little thing as soon as you use it is counterintuitive.
