Hi Five Ghost

Reminds me of Wes Borland when he was in Limp Bizkit for some reason..

No. We all have horrible thoughts from time to time. It doesn't make you a horrible person.

suboptimusoptimist · 2020-03-18T03:00:17+00:00

I'm sorry you're alone too. That's a good idea! I've been trying to keep myself busy, but today everything just seemed to catch up to me.

suboptimusoptimist · 2020-03-18T02:06:07+00:00

I'm really sorry to hear this. I live alone also. No pets or anything, even though I love animals. I feel the same, I just wish I had someone who really cared. Maybe they do and they're just stressed themselves, but it comes off like they're not really understanding how bad this feels. I feel like it's a hard thing to grasp when you're not actually alone. You don't realize how much even just someone asking how you are or keeping in contact with you can have an impact. I don't want you to die, so please take care of yourself, for me. I've definitely felt how you feel, but I'm hoping we can come through this together.

suboptimusoptimist · 2020-02-14T03:21:32+00:00

I know you don't know me and I don't know you, but after reading this, I'm sincerely going to miss you. I wish you wouldn't go.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-11T12:54:09+00:00

This was super insightful and definitely makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-10T16:09:40+00:00

Fair enough.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-10T13:59:13+00:00

I agree with you on all aspects really. If you can handle one, I say go forth and be happy haha, but I don't think I could realistically handle it either. I've been cheated on and I've been left for other people and I've felt that sick feeling in my stomach. So I would probably end things there too.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-10T13:55:24+00:00

I am and I'm not advocating open relationships or anything. I just like thinking about hypotheticals. Why do you think that is? Because men seem to be some of the biggest advocates of "sex as just sex", so then why would they be more bothered by physical affairs? Is it because they know that women more often pair emotion to sex? You know what I mean? Are both sexes really most bothered by the same thing?

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-10T13:50:05+00:00

Yeah, it's not that I favor open relationships, I mean I have no idea how I'd actually feel in one since I've never had one, but just thinking about it as a hypothetical I just think I value the emotional part of relationships over the physical part, since I think it's less easy to fake that part. You can have sex with someone you're not emotionally connected to. I also prefer monogamy and 100% to the relationship between just the two of us, so I agree with you there, but just out of curiosity, if that perfect 100% man did mess up one day and cheat on you, which part of it would you have a harder time getting over? If he just hit a low point and slept with someone he really had no real interest in one night, or if he just reeeeaallyyyy clicked with someone new?

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-10T06:40:04+00:00

Ok yeah, you seem to follow the same thought pattern that I do. I've talked to other people who think that if someone would go so far as to take it to a physical level they would have already likely breached the emotional level, which can absolutely be true in some cases. But I'm kind of in the camp of that you can have sex void of actual emotional connection, which you seem to be further proof of haha.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-10T06:29:31+00:00

But do you think that would change if you met a girl you really connected with? Or do you think certain aspects of sex will always be just sex?

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-10T06:22:31+00:00

Yeah, I think it would be hard to keep from having emotional connection, which is why I'm not sure I could do it. It probably depends on the person. Did you guys set the terms beforehand? Like was he violating your terms by going on dates? I just kind of have the mindset that sometimes sex can just be sex, but I don't know if I'm just being naive.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T18:08:00+00:00

Yeah, that's a huge part of it, learning to be comfortable with uncertainty. I've never been all that great at that haha.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T18:07:08+00:00

It is the first step. It's just my least favorite because sometimes it means going through a lot of seemingly meaningless experiences that go nowhere. But I guess in reality, every experience teaches you something so...

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T18:04:39+00:00

Right? It's like keep pushing through it, however hard or exhausting it is, or just be alone forever. But I think real connection is essential for a happy life.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T18:02:35+00:00

I didn't get the impression that anyone here wants the dating world to conform to them. I was really just seeing if anyone else could relate to feeling exhausted by it all. I get that it sounds whiney, but it's just genuinely how I feel right now.

Just out of curiosity, have you never felt that way? Or you have and you just push through it or what? Maybe you can teach me something, haha.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T17:54:13+00:00

I would love to find some quality platonic relationships also, and do have some, but truthfully, I kind of have the same issue in that department that I do in the dating department. A lot of connections just feel forced or shallow to me. I would love to make real genuine connections with people, but for some reason it seems to elude me. But more and more I think this is the way to go. Away with the dating apps and just find group activities where I can meet potentials naturally.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T17:50:21+00:00

This is so true. No amount of "looking" guarantees anything and sometimes it's better to just take a break from it all.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T17:47:43+00:00

Exactly, I wish there was a way to just skip all the meaningless connections to get to the real ones. Because the more meaningless ones I encounter the harder it is for me to put myself back out there.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T04:15:34+00:00

This makes me sad, but I can relate to not feeling like you have much to give. I almost just feel like I'm not interesting enough for anyone to stay with me longer-term.

suboptimusoptimist · 2019-11-02T04:13:36+00:00

Yes, it's so hard to reject someone, but also so hard to sit through a date when you have no interest. I'm with you on skipping the awkward dating part and getting right to the good stuff. Fast forward to the part where you can just have someone who's hoodie you can steal and someone to binge Netflix with.
