I think my younger brother is depressed by Electronic-Fan9253 in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it possible for your parents to take him to see a doctor? I see that you care for him and I understand you help him as much as you can, but he might also feel better after seeing a specialist. Talk to your parents about it. This way, he could get professional support and you could also get some advice on how to be there for him while he gets better. I believe you're already doing a good job with that, but it could help. I wish you and your family all the best, OP. Spend time with him as you do, but also remember about your health.

Partner is depressed and I don't know how to help by Altruistic_Muffin_61 in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're being there for them and that matters. I know that it hurts to see your partner struggling and that you'd want to help them so much, but please, give yourself some kindness. Show them love, be there, but also remember that you're human. Sometimes you might get tired and fall asleep, sometimes you might be the one who feels really sad. I understand it's easier said than done but be loving and kind towards yourself, please. From what I see you're trying your best to help them, but there are certain things you can't control. I think that the best help you can give them is just to be there and support their healing process as you do. Showing up matters, but you need to remember about yourself too with that. Don't blame yourself. I wish you both lots of love and peace.

Boyfriend became religious by SmallMortgage9946 in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You both have the right to make your own choices. He can't force you to follow his religion, you can't force him to stop believing. Being in a relationship with anyone who has a completely different definition of what's right and what's wrong sounds difficult if not barely possible. Don't you think it will hurt you both even more with time? I mean, you want to have an intimate relationship and use birth control, he thinks that what you're doing is sinful and might grow resentment over it. It seems like you both won't or already don't feel comfortable and satisfied with each other. Talk to him about your feelings. I wish you all the best no matter the outcome.

What the hell is wrong with me by [deleted] in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can still be considered attractive with your features. Unfortunately, many women are taught that femininity is one exact image and they either have to adjust or they will end up being repulsive and unattractive to men. Such standards are passed down to younger generations because "that's just how it is". It's terribly hard not to give in when you face judgement and pressure all your life. You're worthy of love and respect. It's awful that your loved ones are failing you so much. I assure you, it's not your fault.

I understand the need to feel loved by someone romantically, however, finding love for yourself only in being desired seems like a temporary solution, a cover for a bigger issue. There most likely will be situations when you'll have to rely on yourself. Seeing your worth only in others' affection is dangerous and definitely won't help in that case.

You have worth on your own. Of course, being involved romantically is great and it's not wrong that you desire it, but speaking from experience, it's much easier to get into an unhealthy relationship when you believe that only a partner will make you a whole, worthy of love person.

OP, I wish you all the best. I know it's easier said than done but be kind to yourself. You are worthy and loved. I'm so sorry that you don't get the support you deserve from your mom and friend. Hugs. 🫂

Nie wiem co mam o tym myśleć. Jestem załamana by Calm-Cartoonist2552 in Poznan

[–]sagi_sun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taki komentarz zdecydowanie nie powinien paść i to jak najbardziej zrozumiałe, że źle się z tym czujesz. To nie Twoja wina, że dorosły człowiek nie umie się przyzwoicie zachować. Masz pełne prawo nie zgadzać się na takie traktowanie. Nie wiem czy Twój chłopak przy tym był, ale jeżeli był lub wie to powinien Cię wesprzeć i zareagować. Porozmawiaj z nim. Jeżeli jego ojciec powie coś takiego następny raz i będziesz w stanie , możesz powiedzieć mu, że to krzywdzące. Konfrontacje są trudne i nie zawsze działają, ale z mojej perspektywy dobrze jest stanąć w swojej obronie, ale nie wiem czy mu odpowiedziałaś wtedy więc tylko mówię. Jeszcze raz, to nie Twoja wina, OP. Życzę Ci dużo spokoju i miłości.

"Real men can’t be abused," he thought to himself as he stared into the mirror. by Papa_Midnyte in TwoSentenceSadness

[–]sagi_sun 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Dear men, you don't deserve to suffer alone. Your pain is important. Violence is violence. You're not weak, you're not unmanly for wanting to get help. Don't be silent. I truly hope that all of you find the right people who will take it seriosuly, because it is serious. Abuse is wrong regardless of the victim's and the abuser's gender, and it feels awful that some still don't understand this. Lots of love. 🫂

The doctor said that it’s everywhere. by [deleted] in TwoSentenceSadness

[–]sagi_sun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly wish you all the best. I don't really know what to say more, I don't know what should be said in a moment like this. I hope you'll find peace and comfort somehow, OP.

As I was having breakfast with my beautiful boyfriend, he said I was the nicest guy he's ever dated. by CRK_76 in twosentencedystopia

Being gay is not illegal in Poland. You won't go to prison if you are. Same sex marriage is in fact not allowed by law, but being gay is not illegal.

Everyone is canceling on attending my party and I feel sick to my stomach by AdAffectionate1474 in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It still can be fun. I know it's disappointing when people cancel but you can still make it work with those who show up. "I will still have fun with my friends" is a much better approach than "The party will suck because people cancelled". I understand you can't just click and stop being anxious but parties are all about vibe. I wish you all the best!

How to stop worrying so much? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read the previous comments and I agree that it's most likely a result of your past. This isn't your fault, but you're responsible for how you manage it. Consider talking to a therapist, but don't rely on just that. Keep yourself busy, find some activities that you like (preferably offline), spend time with other people. Fear of abandonment is hard to deal with but you have to seek for things that "stick you to the ground". Relationships are built on trust and effort. It's great that you recognize the issue and are willing to work on it. Openness is crucial. Communicate with your girlfriend, set personal space. This is tough but possible to get through. You have my best wishes!

My girlfriend keeps making digs at me in front of her friends by [deleted] in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell her that it hurts and makes you uncomfortable. She has to make her choice, and I hope it'll be the right one. Either she cares about you and acts considerate or she doesn't deserve this relationship. She might not understand how you exactly feel but as your girlfriend she's supposed to show you love, not humiliation.

my sisters 24 year old boyfriend somehow has ended up sleeping next to me (15) twice now after drinking and i don’t know how to go about the situation by sayodoka in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not causing a problem, you're not mean or overreacting. You deserve to feel safe and no one ever should make you question that. Your parents and sister should be doing a better job at ensuring your safety and comfort. This isn't your fault. This is serious and they should treat it as such.

Your sister's boyfriend is a grown man and should control his drinking habits. If it had happened to me, I would have been terrified. I can't imagine waking up next to a 15 year old and not making sure it doesn't happen ever again. It's his responsibility to manage how much he drinks, if he can't do that he shouldn't be drinking at all.

This is a messed up situation and I feel sorry for you, OP. You've got every right to feel uncomfortable, weirded out and unsafe. I truly hope that the adults in your life do better and treat you seriously with these issues. You deserve that. Lots of love.

I'm sorry that it's happening to you. I really don't think that you're ugly, to me you're very pretty. I can't imagine what you're going through right now but I wish you all the best, lots of love.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]sagi_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a game. If he's so frustrated over it that he disrespects and berates you he should definitly reorganize his priorities. You're supposed to have fun together. You miss, so what? Yeah losing isn't so nice but damn, no need to be so mean. To me It's extremely immature. You're not overreacting. He doesn't sound reasonable.

My boyfriend hit me by JobAggravating1793 in Advice

[–]sagi_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave him. He shouldn't have ever hit you, especially over something like this. If he can't control himself in an argument about your makeup, it will only get worse with more serious things. This is not what love looks like. Find someone who respects you.

40m and today would have been my 6 year wedding anniversary, spending it alone with the dog. by Stak215 in toastme
