More pseudoscience from you (the first being that gravity is attractive- gravity is a warp in the space time continuum as it responds to mass, and only appears to be attractive to the uneducated). No…
No, it is not. People talk a lot of nonsense. The only demons people get possessed by are by their own egotistical psychology or some other fantasy 👍 I'll also paste an answer I gave to someone a whi…
I mean I know you want to feel superior. But why would your silence eat them up? They made a choice. The likely thought about it for a long time and were confident in their decision. They knew it was …
Seems like a classic case of unbelief. They fell for dumb loaporn nonsense. Of course it didn't work. Because they weren't taught to condition their SM.
Let’s not turn attachment theory which is scientific in nature into some zodiac nonsense. If the non traditional attachment styles you speck of aren’t backed by peer reviewed theories it’s nonsense. …
This is just someone regurgitating some LOApornstar nonsense about how important it is to give yourself a "mental diet" by forming a routine based in conscious thoughts with the hopes that your subcon…

Dude do you think this subreddit is your personal relationship diary? This is the kind of immature nonsense that turns attachment theory into a joke.
You’re welcome. A lot of people in these communities shut down questions and are quick to say “you’re not doing it right” which is just nonsense. Of course you can change people. There are infinite …
What I've done after being discarded by an avoidant was literally change up my requirements for the sort of man I'm looking for. My ex had a brilliant mind, but also deep insecurities, anxiety, childh…

Yeah I totally hear you on that and how it can all feel disconnected from what we are experiencing here. This also may sound like nonsense to you, I know it did to me until I started practicing it. B…
I mean maybe I misread, but that's how it sounded to me. Like maybe he is an uneven communicator, but he probably just doesn't like her and is spouting nonsense. That's the stupid part. I think she j…
Well I’m glad you got yourself out of that situation cause you deserve way more than that nonsense. I’d say go out and take yourself on a date and have a great time. Whatever it is you wanna do, it!…
It means you need to find people who are on the same wavelength. In my case, I can't stand small talk. I go to meetup events and force a grin through all of the silly little icebreaker questions. I w…
In my opinion, a lot of people seem to be waiting for love to sort of "happen" for them, like something that just falls into their hands and they get zapped with "ILY" feeling. Sounds like a bunch of …
This is a nonsense example, but please try to glean from it the underlying point. Suppose you lived in Nigeria, and you were very strongly of the opinion that the West African Slave trade should be r…
I'm at my wit end with the misrepresentation and villainisation of avoidant people. My current tiktok feed is sometimes suggesting an annoying idiot who "found" the solution to make avoidant love you,…
Idk if it’s the on/off nonsense I’ve been dealing with with my ex but I just had a date over the weekend that I wasn’t too hyped about, but the guy was. He was nice and we made plans to meet up agai…

Lots of venting (as I started writing this I just spiralled into journaling I guess) I am only venting as obviously I am doing things wrong. On Sunday, the guy I was / am seeing and I had a call for…
As before my issue with the comment and with this post also is that you're attempting to project and push your personal preferences onto the rest of society. You're moving things from "this is what I …
I just got out of a very similar situation myself. Me and my bf broke up less than a week ago. Exactly what you described. The fun moments, drives, late night food trips, friends houses, all of it. I …
There's no way I'd deal with his nonsense. I have absolutely 0 pity and would tell him I'm not even interested in friendship at this point. I'd tell my friends I'm not going to hang around someone who…
These are old myths from the pre-internet days. I used to hear this nonsense all the time in the early '90s. Here is a diagram from a 2009 British study assessing drug harms by a team of addiction sp…
No Bullshit, straight down the middle : you’re not ‘undateable’ but finding yourself someone compatible isn’t going to be easy. The apps aren’t exactly great for people like you TBH. You might get l…
I think there’s two things to consider on this topic… For one, being an experienced shifter doesn’t only mean “fully” shifting and spending a long period of time in your DR. Some people (myself inclu…
This is also something ive been going through, 6 years with somebody I grew up with for almost 20 years. Close family and friends, unfortunately the respect ive given to her was not enough for a recip…
I remember these kind of posts getting taken down in here because it didn’t fit the positive vibes or some self-hating nonsense.
I don't even think we necessarily need to start with successful shifters; even people who haven't shifted yet volunteering to try something & report what happened would be better than nothing. There'…
This was so mild compared to all the other nonsense. (And thank you, I’m glad they’re not subjected to him every day any more either)
This is nonsense btw. AP is a purely mechanical thing. Not a reflection of your spirituality. Plenty of terrible people can do it, and saints that can't.
Totally agree. It's the AP way - focus on how mean your ex is and act like a victim with no self-reflection or accountability. And every time an AP is broken up with or ends a relationship, their ex…
You need to hang in there and understand this nonsense won’t last forever. The court will resolve the house issue by forcing the sale of the home. You need to inform the court of his constant harassme…
That's actually very thoughtful of you; I had totally forgotten about the important papers part. Well my dad won't fully sabotage me alone because he himself want me to go abroad to study for my bac…
As an experienced shifter myself, I wouldn't be so hasty in writing-off the subject of clones as nonsense. There's a *lot* more going on 'out there' than many may be aware of, a lot of it really dar…
Well that's what I already do by now. My current social media have no family members following me except for one cousin who had a similar situation, and now she lives in Poland by herself. And when I …
It’s interesting that you talk about 'accountability' while completely dismissing the 5 years of effort I put into this. You want to talk about the 'AP way'? I didn't 'label' him a DA to feel better…
I'm not entirely sure if I have full aphantasia but I'm definitely close. Like I don't really understand what it means to "see" something when you try to visualize it, for me it's really only a vague …
Never huh? Yeah ok. Get that nonsense out of here
I agree with this. I would love to hear about people who lucid dream often and the types of experiences they have. I’m sick of the “how do I have sex and I flew” nonsense. Would love a daily post f…
nonsense. she could be a knockout in her 40's like Selma Hayek was, like Jennifer Alba is, like many other women. Everybody is different and some ppl are invisible their entire lives no matter the age…
I see my kids 3 days a week. I don't see the need to text her that they ate potatoes for dinner. That's not co-parenting. To each their own, and just because I don't feel the need to blow up her ph…
