Accidental awakening

> Ah! Thank you. Haven’t tried that yet. Maybe I’ll give it a go and see how it feels. My pleasure! Be well. TM requires a trained teacher, even to get consistent results with something as trivial as…

What are the signs to spot a DA or FA in early talking stage?

I disagree. Some avoidants will be good at hiding yes, and that's because in their avoidance + arrested emotional development, the initial playful energy will cause you to mirror and stop noticing the…

Why could I enforce boundaries in the first years of my relationship, but after 7–8 years I couldn’t do it anymore?

Maybe I am missing something but it seems like you are proud when you describe yourself as giving the silent treatment to him and say it's setting a boundary in the beginning of the post, but it's not…

In Need of Guidance and Advice

They would take care of their father. They would address why they're upset (you don't have control over the situation and it's frustrating you couldn't make him do what you wanted to do) and deal wi…

Men having rigid body type preferences

I don’t understand the dudes you’re dating. You sound EXACTLY like my type, most of my previous GFs fit that bill. Maybe that means *I* have rigid preferences? Perhaps. In fact, I’ll go as far to say …

I'm a rotten abuser and I can't forgive myself for it and I don't feel that I should.

I hear you. Like...I could have basically written the same post. My partner is the best man that could ever be in my life, like....painfully good and understanding. I do lash out for minor things, tre…

How to stop being attracted to "unavailable" people?

Without therapy and the tools it provides, a relationship like that can become self reinforcing. But therapy, including couples therapy, can help both people understand themselves and each other, and …

How I finally hacked meditation with an extremely loud inner monologue

First I've heard of a phonological loop. I'm curious how else you describe yourself/your brain. Are you neurotypical?

Can I get a profile review please. It’s just the text I need feedback on - see link.

I would instantly pass on this profile. The only thing I learned from it is that you like buzzwords, and can't describe yourself without relying on AI.

My 23M bf gets a panic attack every time i ask him to pick up after himself 22F am i the problem?

The Myers-Briggs personality typing is junk “science”, is rooted in racism, and serves no useful purpose. Stop using it to describe yourself or others. That said, you are not the problem. Your boyfri…

I (28f) am unsure of marrying my fiancee (m30) , what would you do?

This relationship is dysfunctional. You describe yourself as unhappy so why proceed? Do you think a piece of paper will make the problem go away? There are four possible scenarios: 1. Your fiancée i…

My (21F) bf (21M) says he liked being “manhandled “ what does this mean

It sounds like he enjoys being submissive in intimate situations, and you've already used the word dominant to describe yourself. Ask Google for the basics and then have a conversation about what you …

My fiancé (38M) and my (33F) different mental states when we wake up is causing friction?

I mean, as someone else noted, is it actually him "giving off this angry energy" or is he just NOT giving off warm, welcoming energy? I don't think you need to change your morning, but I'm also not s…

My (27F) partner (23M) is losing attraction to me due to weight gain.

My weight fluctuates so easily, I could gain and lose 10 pounds in a week just from normal daily activity and eating. It’s extremely normal to fluctuate a few pounds here and there depending on lifest…

41M, new to online dating. Looking for opinions and advice for my Facebook dating profile

You need to pick a lane. If you are mostly looking for friends, Facebook dating is not the best place for that. If you are looking for potential dates, you need to revamp the whole first part of your …

My illness made me self-centred and I want this to stop - advice please!

I think you're being much too hard on yourself, you can't help that you need to be looked after more than ever, and this means that there is a lot of focus on you whether you want it to be that way or…

I'm getting in touch with this and it makes me terrified

I'm gonna be honest, I've read a lot of people's experiences and am part of the discord server for the gateway tapes and there seems to be some pretty clear trends. Unless you are already in contact w…

My (27F) boyfriend (29M) makes me feel unattractive and I’m not sure what to do

Dump his ass, he's abusive. What he is doing is called 'negging' which is the continued use of subtle insults and derogatory statements to break down your self-esteem and keep to compliant and depende…

My son tragically was killed four days before his 21st birthday almost six months ago. I have not recovered.

Give yourself time. That is undeniably traumatic, and any parents’ grief would and likely should take a considerable amount of time. You describe yourself as having symptoms of classic grief, which is…

My bf (m19) is constantly rude to me (f18) because of hemorrhoids and I'm losing feelings for him. How do I know when it's time to leave?

If hemorrhoids affect his personality it’s because he is an asshole. Notwithstanding this, it’s been two years. The cure for severe haemorrhoids is a quick surgery (they staple them), eat more fibre …
