Fyi there's a lot of evidence supporting that CPTSD and Autism can present VERY similarly in people. You aren't screwed and it will probably actually get easier as you age. Highschool is when we form…
Humorous tweet: Singaporean woman needs no passport bro! — [https://x.com/Harumi\_Minnie/status/2033079459801379066](https://x.com/Harumi_Minnie/status/2033079459801379066) Last week I saw this hilarious and sad Twitter conversation in which a Singaporean wo…

"You have to be hungry enough for your desire" — Well, I can bet many people here are NOT HUNGRY enough for their desire. When Neville expressed his desire to go barbados... He straight told Ab... "I have a *burning* desire to go barbados this time…
Self isolating for 40 years. I'm more at home when I'm alone. — I have worked almost entirely alone (and at times completely alone) for the entirety of my working life and home life has been much the same. My childhood was marked by isolation and emotional negle…
Anyone else feel like they're not made for this world? — I thought when I escaped from my abusive childhood home that I would finally feel some peace and safety. I could not have been more wrong. The world we as a species have created is overall so cruel an…
Girl, no, absolutely not. Is "strict" a euphemism for "downright controlling"?! Unless you're leaving thirsty comments on IG and French kissing male friends in carpools, this guy is utterly insecure.…
Careful... The young ones are *thirsty*
Right?? 😿 I'm feeling a little embarrassed by it all cos I'm so tired of unreceptive attempts without appearing I'm more thirsty than I am. 😩
Dang, and here I thought not being too thirsty was a good thing. I wasn't gonna drag out the conversation or anything, but still... dang. Sounds like I pretty much botched this whole thing because I …
Should I make the next move? For context: I'm a 35 yo, cis het woman living in nyc. I recently (about 1.5 weeks ago) went out with a guy (also 35, cis het male) I met on bumble. The date took a bit …
LMAO NOOOOO this man is thirsty for attention but like a dog that looks away from you and still expects you to pet their back
Speaking from personal experience: it's not as simple as that Love means different things for different people, but all of them are based on what they're capable of. Speaking plainly *and* figurative…
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I could have written this myself. When I was around 5, I was wandering around the neighborhood(Gen-X) on a hot Summer day, and became very thirsty. I went t…
I see this as akin to criticizing a thirsty man, walking alone in the desert, for drinking sparking instead of regular water. When sparkling is the majority of what he sees, and requires much less wo…
The “feeling” you chase for is neutrality. When we feel neutral, or content, it means our needs are met. We’re not hungry, thirsty, tired, etc. The same concept applies to what we want. We want to e…
Why are people so thirsty for conflict? This can’t be healthy…
Well, a $50 bouquet when somebody has already expressed that they don't like flowers is the exact opposite of what I said would be appropriate. Kroger always has a cute bouquet for $10. And you're …
Sounds like the therapy Is working and your doctor is on your side. Those are HUGE wins. Your mom was expecting to be told what she’s always assumed to be true, but it’s up to her to do the work to fi…
I have a very distinct memory of drinking from a puddle in a neighbors driveway when I was about 5 or 6. I was completely alone and knew I shouldn't, but I thirsty and decided I didn't care and knew I…
The patriarchy has been around for longer than any of us have been alive. There was no "different", human society has been under a patriarchy for the majority of modern times. There's only been a few…
So, I know that ancedotally, I was regularly neglected in my pre-memory; and it's also such a consistent thing that probably 80-90% of my childhood memories include neglect of some sort or another. M…
Just echoing what most people are saying here: if he doesn’t want to be with someone with boob surgery then that is totally within his right. You are totally within your right to want it too. Personal…
For what it’s worth, ChatGPT’s environmental impact may not be as big as initially reported. In 2023, a buzzy paper estimated that a chat with 20 questions would consume a 500 mL bottle of water. But…
Your marriage sounds like my marriage. I definitely didn't want that to happen again, and tried to cautiously have the conversation OP wants to have. *Every guy* insisted that they had a "super high"…
I think you're right, he gave you good sex and now he's keeping you thirsty for it. As if he's the only man in existence. Sounds like he's got some mental health issues that he needs to work on. Glad …

If you think ending it with someone that had no problem gaslighting a loyal chick that loved him good and bad when he wanted to entertain some thirsty ex that knew he wasnt single and neither was sh…
My wife sometimes acts offended if she finds evidence around, and maybe even tries to act more interested in sex for a week or two. But she’s very particular about when she wants sex, or is open to wa…
Are you engaging, asking questions, showing depth in your conversation? If the answer is yes, you are probably doing better than most. A lot of times men will try to use diminutive terms like babe, et…
There is a lot of unhealthy communication in this from both sides, but mainly his. Him laughing at you and walking away, telling you you are overreacting, calling you lazy and geberalizing your forget…
BPD certainly complicates matters, as you are more vulnerable towards narcissistic people like him. It's likely a struggle for you to be on your own and he is probably your favorite person. And that o…
I’ve gone through years where it’s hard for me to muster the strength to get up and drink water. I’ll be thirsty, maybe even have a headache, and I still won’t get a drink for myself. I don’t understa…
I used a similar strategy in the past and tried to conceal my body shape. My thinking was that it would deter the thirsty men from liking me. Wrong. Thirsty men like every profile they see. The only t…
White men get used to a lot of leeway from thirsty divestors.
Some guys do want marriage but most women are taught they dont need/want men and marriage is a binding of slaves, that the subject gets dismissed too easily and frowned upon. Guys have to act casual, …
I read for women it like being thirsty in an ocean and for men it’s thirsty in a desert. I think it was that anyway lol
2 Epiphanies I had very recently. Hopefully it makes it easy for you. 1. I was on a walk, listening to really good music. I was truly happy and was feeling light. I was enjoying my own company thoro…
Your problem is that you only count compliments about your appearance and only if they come from women you want to have sex with. If you started counting compliments about your effort or skills or …
I am experiencing two types of sleep pyralsis. The first is paralysis, it's scary. Normally this happens when I am sleeping or if I have a strange dream then I feel as if someone is pressing my throat…
True to that. I think the social media presence and these thirsty dudes over inflate some of these people. I see it like when people started with social media and they were bosting about their "frie…
I'm technically not a DN, but I move around a LOT and dating under those circumstances can be challenging. If I wanted to do so casually, as I've done in the past, then it's easy. Some people like the…
I know your a battle because I will wear cut off jean shorts and I have nice legs but a 30-year-old friend of mine said I'm too old to be wearing them. I also like wearing knee-high boots with a dress…
Voicing any of my concerns or needs was always labeled as “complaining”. I was mocked for things like being thirsty and asking for water.
43M, I don’t think you’re being unreasonable. I think you’re noticing a real pacing mismatch that a lot of people feel but don’t always say out loud. I have a love-hate relationship with dating apps.…
