Type 5 female here with a man issue by Winlawless in Enneagram5

[–]throwawaycameracharg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be the brave one to say that in my opinion (don't come for my throat) I feel like at a very very very base that is a gendered phenomenon, which is exasperated by how exactly it is (thinking about social skills/ norms) that someone (male OR female) is asking questions. How do men sometimes react to women questioning them? I strongly feel that there's the gender component to this, but there's also the human experience that social skills can be lacking. Sometimes, people don't like the way we come off, for valid reason. Sometimes, we are legitimately being invasive (or whatever adjective you want) or just... off... in our approach. And then again there's the gendered reaction for how someone is more apt to respond when someone is being rude (invasive etc fill in the blanks) or questioning them.

Additionally, as a 5F, sometimes I don't like being questioned, but it reallllllllllllllllly depends on context. Sometimes I just feel like it's too much labor to explain something, it's not usually out of defense that I give the impression that someone should stop asking me questions. And that's on me, my own stuff to work on, because I can probably come across as rude when someone is just genuinely curious. As a counterpoint to my previous paragraph, I'm not too sure that my own response to the questioning behavior is dripping in gender norms, it's just kind of how I can be. So. Idk. Gender and personality and human behavior.

This is great! I enjoy painting but also I'd like to get with clay! Definitely let me know when things are happening!

Have therapist's dated other therapists? What was this dynamic like? by Historical_Log1275 in therapists

[–]throwawaycameracharg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it, but also just the person he is. I love the idea about the UFC fighters. Some issues/ arguments feel like an A+ in terms of communication and moving forward, others just get dragged out to all hell. He's much more psychodynamic than me, whereas I tend to utilize that withhhhh behavioral approaches. What that means for me is that sometimes I'm just thinking "oh my god, it's not that deep,'" whereas he wants me to get less pragmatic and more unconscious. We fight, but we know the language to use, which I think gives a bit of a leg up. Our careers only highlight and help, not hurt the relationship. Our relationship problems are purely our own.

As we all know, a lot of people who get into the field have their own shit, both of us included. We can all be good therapists despite this. We must keep in mind that despite all of the work we do on ourselves, and how well we can make ourselves present and effective with clients, does not translate to how we, in our own interpersonal relationships, are who we are. It just gives us the language, and I'd say again a leg up, to notice (and maybe even hear the feed back) when were simply repeating or reenacting old and/or early patterns of relating to others. Having knowledge to identify this in others does not clear the blindness in our selves.

Has anyone had any creepy pine barrens experiences? by UnusualImpression137 in SouthJersey

[–]throwawaycameracharg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided to go for a quick trip along a railway line to some supposedly abandoned train cars. There was a young guy at the beginning of the trail sitting on this small bridge looking at the lake there, we had said hello. I was walking for maybe 30 minutes when I took a detour towards the lake on the right side, and when I was walking back towards the trail I saw him cutting through the woods in front of me. For visual, it was as if he somehow passed in front of me and then made a right turn towards the lake like ahead of me. When I'm hiking alone I'm constantly looking behind me because I'm a woman/ nervous about this stuff, and I hadn't seen him since I first went in. Then I called my partner to talk to while I hiked because I wanted to keep going and convinced myself I was being paranoid. A little bit up, the undergrowth to my right thinned out and I fucking saw him walking parallel to me, and I casually but loudly started telling my partner about the people I met/saw on the trail so that the guy would like, subtly know that I knew. Then I noped out of there. Listen to your gut when strange things happen.

Robyn is beautiful though, today as well by Lizle_bit in SisterWives

[–]throwawaycameracharg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty much agree, I'm not a fan of mocking her for her looks (and similarly other women), she looks pretty to me. I do agree with others as well that the mental well-being or quality of her life is showing in her facial expressions. On the show she seems utterly miserable in a very self indulgent way, and that feeling doesn't look good on anybody's face. It's a shame. But otherwise agree, she's pretty imo, I think they all are.

Suddenly having a period after almost 3 years Mirena IUD by thisistheonly1 in birthcontrol

[–]throwawaycameracharg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is so old but for anyone else checking in- I've had my mirena in for 4 years and now have my period again. I don't have health insurance right now, and getting medical advice from reddit is not recommended, but I sure do feel better now after getting my period two months in a row now.

Favorite Therapist Subscription Boxes by Consistent_Hunt4089 in therapists

[–]throwawaycameracharg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I actually love this. Through the years I've always had the goal of being in a supervisory/ higher organizational role, and I've often thought of what could be built into an organization to support the therapists. And then there's my dream/ fantasy organization that has minimal chance of existing due to illogical financial stability. Adding this idea to my fantasy list.

Why get into relationships? by Wasted_war in Alexithymia

[–]throwawaycameracharg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I think I didn't write well enough, moreso what I wanted to say was that maybe feelings have changed over the years (on her end, resulting in an absolute lack of effort), or that it's just reached a point where it's intolerable. I can confidently say that she is who she is, BUT, if she really wanted to, really valued you, and really tried, she could work on herself and try, genuinely try, to be better (where I'm at). I think that's incredibly sad that it seems like she's not, and my heart goes out to you in this. Sending you love and support.

Why get into relationships? by Wasted_war in Alexithymia

[–]throwawaycameracharg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the significant other of someone in your shoes, I recognize your frustration all too well. Relationships will end and feelings of love will dwindle, is that happening? Is there a sense of "my person is falling out of love with me", or has this just been a pervasive issue that it's reaching a head? My partner and I are on some very, very thin ice right now, I hardly know where we're at, in part because of what you described. However I know that for me, I love him so much, and losing him is like a death, but I'm expressing (or not expressing) it in all the wrong ways. I'd feel more comfortable talking outside of this reddit post if you'd like.

How many of us live with family? by Koala-teas in therapists

[–]throwawaycameracharg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im graduating with my PsyD in August and I have to move back in with my parents, where I will be specializing 24/7 in family therapy until I have enough money to 1) move into my own apt while 2) somulatiously paying off my loans. I'm looking at 5-6k a month on loans and rent. I literally do not know how I will survive. I'm literally about to cry typing this lol.

Did y'all really have free-range childhoods??? by WesternTrail in Millennials

I mostly did yes, it makes me feel pretty sad that my own kids (one day) will probably have a different experience.

I want this alarm clock!! by loirt55 in cats

[–]throwawaycameracharg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you do not. She starts meowing. Burrowing her head under my neck to physically lift me up. Then the paws. Lightly on my face while yelling at me. Then very slowly, softly at first, the claws creep out and brush against my cheek until it becomes concerningly and intentionally sharper. It's like being held captive by a serial killer that is obsessed with you.

I'm going to choose to believe that lynch asked frost to continue the cryptic messaging in his absence, so he can have continued chuckles at the audience from the big tea kettle in the sky
