Just found out last night while talking to my 20f sister and I’m 21f that my parents made her owner of a car she never agreed to own — Ohhh where to start. The rage I feel towards them and the sense of justice I am craving for her is immense. Long story short my parents have always chosen their feelings over ours growing up. To pro…

The reason “just start” doesn’t work and what the research says to do instead — I think a lot of self-improvement advice fails because it misunderstands how motivation actually works. The standard advice is: set a goal, break it into steps, build discipline, execute. And for som…

I’m FA. I hate people I cared about a week ago, yes. If they hurt me on purpose or they are revealed to be a manipulative or disingenuous person. Then the love I had for them has nowhere to go, and tu…

Ahhh, I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for your sympathy : ) How did you handle no contact? I found the short, sharp disconnect (after something that had initially seemed so promising) extremely diff…

I feel you... with my emotionally abusive ex, we would talk until the morning, we actually would need to put alarms to go to bed. I don't think mine was a liar or a cheater (who knows though) but he w…

I don't know that there is any making sense of it. People are just... people. Time does help. I'm in a really happy relationship now, but I'd be lying if I said I don't look back on those years wit…

Ok. I am sorry for spamming here. I am just doing unwell coz of the breakup. So I just made a little recap in my head about all my relationships. And I am very aware that I am putting myself into tr…

Yes I totally get your point, I think that it's very different from say depression or actual illnesses when you don't know what you're doing and you're experiencing phases of dementia. Actually my mot…

First and might I add the most important, leave them or get them out of your life. It's a big thing, huge even. It'll feel like ripping half your life away but that's what a parasite does. Gets attach…

Stop taking shortcuts. The quick-fixes serve to hold you in place. You can't go on lying and stealing and thinking that a ritual forgives it, it doesn't. To demonstrate growth you have to cease lying…

So sad for the young men out there. Clearly, these men have not been taught how to talk about their feelings with a woman. They are desprerate for strong, kind smart role models. some ideas 1. We…

He tricked you into loving a version of him that's not entirely true

Dude, it's pretty simple. A lot of people are just not curious. I would wager 60% of the population doesnt really think deeply about the meaning of things. They just cant abstract things, life is blac…

I was tricked into it. I got a job that required me to work with my hands constantly. It also made me have to wake up early and get straight to work. Working with your hands is a great way to manage…

What difference does that make? “Friend” was looking for that material. Whether he was tricked by a sting or not, he’s still a s-x offender and a PDFile.

It's also a coping mechanism to being conned. No one likes the feeling that they were tricked or manipulated so they really have to pretend that the abuse was shockingly well hidden - not that they we…

Yeah, I don’t recommend trying to deal with that. Had I known how much work my ex had to do on this front I never would have gotten involved with her. I felt almost tricked in the relationship if that…

My mom has gone to therapy and *lied* for 20+ years. I went with her sometimes, and she was so enraged that the therapist "took my side" every time. She would say, "You charmed him!", like I tricked …

Been there. I had a full on emotional breakdown. She backed away from me when I was begging for her to hold me. She wouldn't because someone has done that to trick her. She still won't discuss wh…

You were tricked into consent by a F-Boy. Look up the 'Canadian Dating Coach' on your socials. You'll find some useful ways to weed these a-holes out next time.

That may be how they experience it, but the fact is the astral plane =/= the material plane. You're not actually seeing the "real" world when you AP and find yourself in your bedroom. You're seeing wh…

This idea is more practical than forcing your kids to share bedrooms with kids they essentially don’t know. Seriously unless you can afford a home with eight bedrooms I honestly see a lot of content…

Good luck! Two and a half years I’m still dealing with the guilt of bringing someone into my life who was such an absolute piece of shit. I felt tricked, but that’s part of their game. The bricks star…

Well.. you’ve put together a really compelling case, and I genuinely appreciate you bringing the Nature Communications study and the Harvard piano research into this. As a psychiatrist finally I foun…

Like others in the thread have put, I've realized that when you grow up used to constant mistreatment and unpredictability from people who are supposed to love and take care of you, it's all you end u…

This is very helpful thank you. ❤️ I would like to add that in my case, this was true, AND there were also some pretty scary long-term complex conscious deception and exploitation strategies. I think …

I struggle to accept and respond to compliments *partly* because of the reason mentioned in the article - the expectation that it's only transactional and will be followed by some demand. But also:…

People are usually angry when they feel tricked into anything. 

I see you deleted your post saying that people don’t like to be tricked. I’m not tricking anybody. I always have it on my profile. I’m pretty cute and it is usually something that comes up since I put…

You used quotation marks for "tricked". I recognize that you disclose, but you seem aggravated about it. 

I was over him… and now I love him more than he loves me. I feel like he tricked me. Do you think this will happen again if I go no contact? A random “you were the best thing that ever happened to me …

Yeah don't get me wrong I'm comfortable with it and I love dressing like Adam Sandler any chance I get, even in public. I'm talking about for like events where I want to show somebody a little bit o…

He tricked you into intimacy under false pretenses that’s some serious bullshit

You act like she’s some evil succubus that tricked you into having sex with her 😂

My mom tricked me on going on a date once, but that's about it. My goal right now is to start dating in a year.
