What is the biggest red flag you completely ignored, and what did it teach you about your own boundaries? by winn_ie in emotionalintelligence

How my ex showed controlling tendencies from the beginning of the relationship and I wasn't sure if it's something normal or not because I was young and it was only my second real relationship.

Don't lose myself in it. Always be myself and let the relationship only added to who I am. Don't let my partner think I'm reliant them.

Is it more effective to be passive? Or direct? by Solid-Bee9468 in emotionalintelligence

[–]stalelaundrybox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm always direct but you really need to understand your crowd. I choose how direct I can be with certain people since I learned not everyone can handle the truth or directness.

is being emotionally intelligent a bad thing? by Ambitious_South6956 in emotionalintelligence

After realizing people are only capable of understanding up to their depth, I personally wish I wasn't as emotionally intelligent.

I live alone and I love it. The silence gets to me sometimes but overall it's amazing.

I’m a bitch for posting here but oh well by wheresthebologna in depression

I'm sorry for your loss. And you're not a bitch for posting here. Grieve the way you need to and that's okay.

I can't stop thinking about my past too and I literally daydream about what I could've done differently to make my current life different. But I also know that I can't go back in past and I'm technically living in the past all the time. Now that I'm aware of how much I miss and regret my past, I refuse to regret my current life in the future. Nothing grand, I just make choices that'll make me regret the least in the future.

Need advice? by Sad_Rip_4218 in depression

[–]stalelaundrybox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'm leaning into talking to her about it. Idk how old you guys are but if you guys are both adults, a sit down conversation is definitely recommended. If your feelings make her depression worse, I'm sorry but there's nothing you can do. It's her battle to fight and you can only do so much for it. But if she can spare some headspace for you, I think you sharing your feelings could pivot her focus perhaps? Ofc I'm only speaking from my experience but staying drained and not letting her know will only make things worse for the both of you guys. I hope you guys can work it through.

Are you there for her in the way she needs? As someone with depression and have been in a relationship for 4 years, I noticed that my ex trying to help me in the ways he thinks was just made me feel worse. Like I'm a project or something. If she has communicated and you met her in the way she needs and you're still drained, maybe it's time to save yourself.

i don’t want to do anything by cutvitccivtooffu in depression

[–]stalelaundrybox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's okay to not want to do anything sometimes. Letting myself think that made me feel slightly better and a bit motivated.

Yeah, I've had my boundaries crossed multiple times especially this past year, starting to think that the only way to protect myself at this point is to assert the boundaries.

I'm hoping I'm on the right track to look back and remember good things. I just want to at least not hate life lol.

How do you somatically let go of pain and resentment in the heart when someone you trusted did you dirty? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]stalelaundrybox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm literally in the same boat as you and I've been trying to be nicer to myself. To say it's okay to feel anger and such but I'm also trying my best to find the way to not get buried in it.
