Feeling smothered by an AP friend…

Not a dating situation though 🤔 I’ve done brutal honesty with the boundaries. What’s so hard is it deteriorates the friendship. I’m here for them, I need them to stop checking; stop forcing it.

'guess im just the worst moth-' yes, yes you are

Positive forgiving experience

This is a years long and incredibly intense psychological journey, likely the most challenging process I have ever experienced. Because of that, I cannot provide a simple tutorial or a quick set of in…
