You're not trying to text them. You're trying to soothe yourself. There's a difference and it changes everything.

You're not trying to text them. You're trying to soothe yourself. There's a difference and it changes everything. — Every "just checking in" text. every perfectly worded message rewritten 20 times. every "I just want closure" conversation you've rehearsed in the shower. it was never really about them. it was about …

Other attachment styles

I think the attachment styles in place work well. I know it was studied exhaustively on thousands of children in the 70s/80s/90s and had there been more definitive styles we would have caught them bac…

What Platform Engineering Really Means (and How It Differs from DevOps and SRE)

Hey. These titles are often interchangeable but can mean different things for different organisations, depending on their role responsibility expectations, product/services. As such I wouldn't focus…

You know what sucks about being in the process of healing your attachment type? Dating someone who has no idea they have an insecure attachment and you're just wasting all that hard-earned security on someone who doesn't care

The thing is the more I have aged and worked on myself getting higher self esteem and confidence, the more I have self reflected and become more aware of myself, the more I have slowly recognised the …

Success Story: FA/Disorganized Attachment Healing Roadmap, Resource Recommendations

I appreciate how much time you put into this. It’s well written and you’ve got some genuinely interesting ideas here. That said, it’s important to add some context so people don’t mistake this for set…

Bf of 14 months hasn’t said I love you

Was looking for this take. OP is really rushing and placing way too much weight on a phrase that’s simply not even as common in Spanish as you’d think. I’m Mexican and Te quiero holds as much value as…

Daily sticky thread for rants, raves, celebrations, advice and more! New? Start here!

Wow, I just took a screenshot of this to bring up with my new therapist next week. "I'm turned on by the 'I can't believe this is happening' feeling" resonates with me SO much.  I don't have anythin…

DA’s - Do You Know When You’re Deactivating?

They’re interchangeable terms, deactivation is detachment. The brain deactivates the attachment towards the attached figure. And as for what triggers this, it is subjective. DAs have been conditione…

Daily sticky thread for rants, raves, celebrations, advice and more! - March 05, 2026

This side thread is making me question what I knew about (romantic) love. At some point, after so much headache wondering if I was aromantic, I decided to make it easy for myself and decided that "I …

One of the loneliest things about being single is no significant human touch.

Physical touch is a heavy part of my love language too from as little to hugs to all the way to sex. And it’s sorta interchangeable for me. Well maybe not let’s say a hug for sex. But let’s say I st…

Men having rigid body type preferences

When he started banging his kids' stepsister, Woody Allen said, "The heart wants what the heart wants," but I think the concept of having particular, especially physical "types" is... a negative actio…

Does the intellectual chemistry ever get better?

Listen to your gut intuition here- I dated someone similar, I had a child and he did not. He rarely asked me anything about my life or showed interest- he just wasn’t interested in who I actually was …

New method *Forceful- lucid dream

how is being scientific interchangeable with being spiritual? many, many spiritual views conflict with conventional science and vice versa. also, you shouldn't say that the LDs people normally have ar…

​Husband (46M) keeps "helpfully" rearranging, hiding, and disposing of my (46F) stuff--what tactic or wording can I use to stop it?

The amount of extra work, physically & mentally… over decades? Absolutely not. Having to search for things that you put away or are in the process of getting rid of? No. Doing it multiple times? A…

New method *Forceful- lucid dream

the point I was trying to make was in the phrase "scientific or should I say spiritual" as if those are interchangeable or similar modifiers

Whats the most hurtful thing a parent/caretaker has said to you?

“I wish I would have left your mom the first time we split up” and I respond, “but then you wouldn’t have had my brother and I”. His response, “yes I would, you’d just look different.” So kids are i…

Mine absolutely got worse, and I’m pushing 50. I have yet to hear of parents with genuine narcissistic abusive qualities ever mellowing out with age. Feeling less desired, needed, empowered, and h…

I have yet to hear of parents with genuine narcissistic abusive qualities ever mellowing out with age. It almost always gets worse. Feeling less desired, needed, empowered, and hopeful (all that whi…

Cbt is humillating

Somatic based interventions and mindfulness based interventions are what I have found effective. CBT feels pretty archaic but it’s treated like the bread and butter of interventions. We should just re…

Anyone else here a Christian?

Gnostic Christian. Non judeo. Non church attending but if I could find the right type of church, I wouldn't be opposed. Dead Sea Scrolls, Book of Enoch, Nag Hammadi scripture, Marcionite Bible, Emeral…

Entities who don't understand humor (or don't care for it)

I don't think all greys are in the same exact spiritual stage of development, nor are humans. It's like saying "the chinese", as if 1 billion people think exactly the same and are interchangeable. I t…

You are replaceable

This whole notion fundamentally collapses if you’ve ever experienced a relationship that was not just functional, but formative. There are people who don’t just fill a role, they reorganize you. They …

You are replaceable

Well in my opinion you can replace a 'function' or a 'need,' but you can't replace a person or a shared history. Every connection has its own language, its own inside jokes, and its own growth. Saying…

Time is fake; there is nothing but you.

You are replaceable

I get the sentiment but I think replaceable is the wrong word. People move on. Relationships end. But the specific way you existed in someone's life doesn't get erased just because someone new shows u…

Sidelined by my (F34) fiancé’s (M38) groomswoman (F37)

Especially if he considers her family to be his family. He knew she’d be a problem for her. And the “she” and “her” in that sentence are interchangeable between OP and the friend.

I (19M🏳️‍⚧️) think I fucked up with an online friend (19a)

It's normal to have moments in a friendship where you say something stupid or culturally insensitive. But, as I'm sure you know now, going in on the interchangeable Spanish/Portuguese bit was likely a…

You are replaceable

You can be their "world" & their "everything" & do everything you can to make them happy—& they will still replace you with the first person that gives them a bit of attention & tell them all the BS t…
