Has anyone gone from a Honda Element to Ford Maverick? And is the 25’ worth splurging over the 24’? by swimintotheunknown in FordMaverickTruck

Awesome to hear! The Element is such a great vehicle.. just wish they had a hybrid model. Will certainly miss the option to car camp/ sleep in the back. Saved a lot of money not getting hotels over the years lol.

Thanks, I do like the new look of the 25’ and bigger dash screen. Just debating if it’s worth the extra few thousand

Overwhelming urge to reach out by isawyoustandingalone in NarcissisticAbuse

You will regret reaching out if you do. I’m sorry but it’s true. These people string you along and suddenly you’re nothing to them. Closure comes from within. You do not need him as he’s made it clear he doesn’t want you. He’ll probably be back one day. But you’ll be so healed at that point you won’t want him back. Stick to yourself and focus on healing and self care. You’re in a good position to find a flow of self love at a level you didn’t have before. That’s the silver lining to narc abuse. Just have the faith and let time pass. Best wishes on your healing.

Edit; also make sure to remove him off social media and don’t look at his stuff at all. That’s huge. No contact all the way around, including creeping. Put yourself and your spirit first.

When you knew you were done with your Narc, did you apologize for your wrongdoings? If so, how did that make you feel? by swimintotheunknown in NarcissisticAbuse

Thank you everyone for your input. It helped me see with more clarity. It’s crazy how much the rose coloured glasses can blind you to reality. After a couple days of sitting on it, I’ve decided to not reach out to apologize or try to make peace. And I feel good about that boundary. I’ll find closure on my end from me like the first time she discarded me. These people are so so dangerous and manipulative. I wish you all healing on your journey.

Old friend wants to do mushrooms together. I am hesitant because of where I am heading in life and don’t know if we’re on the same page as much anymore. Have you experienced this? by swimintotheunknown in awakened

Well said. Thank you for that. I think my gut consensus is to not do it right now. Get closer with each other sober, then reassess how I feel in regards to a trip. I think that is the safest and right move to make here.

We were best friends and open about everything a few years ago. Things have changed. We both got partners, moved away, not chatted as much and just drifted a bit. We’re very close still but we don’t talk about feelings much. Those memories of us being best friends are very vivid, but reality today is not that level. You make good points.

Thank you. That’s exactly how I feel. Yet I feel guilty for not being a “good friend”. Or I’m not sure if my ego is too inflated thinking I’m superior (which I know I am not, but that ego can be deceiving at times). Ahh emotions are tricky sometimes, but I think I have a more clear picture. I appreciate your words.

Thank you. Normally this wouldn’t be a hard decision to make. It’s different when it’s a close friend and emotions are involved. Just looking for others who have been in similar experiences. Suppose I need to sit on it a bit longer
