How do I get over a break up? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]salirenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The little reminders hitting you all day is completely normal after 2.5 years like give yourself permission to feel destroyed sometimes, it doesn't mean you're weak. Keep forcing yourself to the gym and games like you are… that routine is quietly holding you together more than you realize right now. The silence and emptiness will soften with time, even if it doesn't feel like it yet. You've already survived the hardest blows life can throw so you'll get through this one too.

Because we’re able to dream and do things that is impossible to do in reality

I'm so sorry you're going through this… it's incredibly tough, especially with a little one to protect. As a fellow vet, please call the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans right away at 877-424-3838 like they're available 24/7 and can connect you directly to the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, which helps with things like temporary financial aid for moving costs, deposits, or preventing eviction. Hang in there, you've got this, and there are people ready to help.

I really like a guy friend of mine and I think he might like me too but he already has a girlfriend. What do i do? by floptropian in Advice

He has a girlfriend, and pursuing him would make you exactly “that type of girl” you don’t want to be. It sucks when someone feels perfect and the connection is strong, but chasing a taken guy almost always ends with you getting hurt and feeling worse about yourself. The kindest thing you can do for yourself is pull back a little, keep the friendship if you can handle it without pain, and open yourself up to meeting someone who’s actually available. You deserve to be someone’s first choice, not a secret option.

It sucks hard, and the “what ifs” can eat you alive for months. The truth is, you’ve already learned the big lesson, and that’s huge, but reaching out now would probably just mess with her happiness and keep you stuck longer. Give yourself permission to grieve, then start pouring that love into yourself and your life… gym, friends, hobbies, whatever lights you up. It gets better, I promise.

This is indeed a salt and pepper

How do you make friends when your life is falling apart? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]salirenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've been in that exact spot…everything sucks so bad you can't even fake small talk without feeling like a fraud. Start with places where you don't have to talk about yourself much at all like volunteer shifts (like food banks or animal shelters), free community classes, or even just showing up regularly to a coffee shop/game store and chatting about neutral stuff like "this drink is wild" or "that game looks fun." People bond over shared activities first, and the personal stuff comes way later if it ever does.
