instances,

Was I ever in Love? Me (28) & He (27) — OK, this is my first Reddit post, so cut me some slack - I'm gonna talk to y'all how I talk to my bestie. And I'm kind of beating a dead horse here, so I'd rather not bother my bestie with this AGAIN.…

Uncertain of how or who I am — Hi, I'm a 16 year old who desperately needs answers. It's been 4 years since my identity problem became apparent, and gradually formed some personality issues too. I feel like I'm never myself anymo…

Seeking advice for feeling like I’m not being sexually heard by my longterm parter (22M) as a relative virgin (20M) — I was sent here from another advice thread! Sorry for the long post! How do I make my sexual discomfort heard by my boyfriend after multiple attempts to not treat everytime we have sex like it’s a…

The mental health industry is continually failing people with trauma — I am currently looking for a new psychologist and a new psychiatrist. I am 45M with CPTSD and 20 years of continual searching for further education and a relief to my pain….. I’ve reached a breaking…

I am AA, he is displaying avoidant behaviours. I don't want to speculate on his attachment style, I can only work off of what he says and does. The honeymoon phase was fast and intense, and it ended …

I just have a few questions: 1. If you go out on a date with someone and it goes well, you have fun, and you find out the next day that they aren't interested in continuing seeing you -- was the date…

I don't disagree. I would add, however, that sometimes people confuse honesty with disclosure. Just because a person has a thought that is truthful, doesn't mean they have to say it. In most insta…

I’m sorry. I have no answers, but a small question. When you say “future instances,” are you referring to “future experiences with the phenomenon” or are you referring to something else?

Two weeks ago I was discussing with my therapist that the one person who has ever made me feel truly insecure about my weight is my mother. Even as a teenager in the early 2000s when I was hit with a …

You would think that the deceptions and misdirections would fall away as you get closer to the truth. But in my experience, they remain, just morphing into the shape of something which is that much mo…

I guess I'm confused how he's so amazing, yet doesn't offer to help when you're sick. Does he offer help in other ways? And if so, why are you this upset over a couple of instances, instead of focus…

I'm really sorry to hear about your miscarriage... Happened to me last week. I don't want to be insensitive at all but please divorce him. If there have been other instances, then take this one as the…

18 years. I was going to say it was death by a thousand paper cuts, but they were more sledgehammer blows than paper cuts. In one of those instances, my mom had just had a major stroke and she was p…

Bro, I had the same experience. I was close to walking out on TFA. It was not for me, and killing off Han was a good indicator that this Trilogy was not for me. I saw TLJ on a plane. I couldn't …

you did say that rapists don't face consequences BECAUSE victims don't report. the "odds" are a big part of the lack of consequences, and the "odds" are not random. so instead of placing blame on the …

Maybe this is a case where you have both a bright side and a dark side and you can consciously CHOOSE which to enrich and focus on. IT sounds like the darker aspects are currently flooding your mind, …

I don't think you're wrong, I'm just unwilling to deviate from the main topic. I have thought about this thoroughly in other instances, though.

Echoing this poster’s sentiment. It’s extremely jarring when you hit the wall and cannot work because you’re so burnt out and mentally fried. Further, that level of burnout is not a fast rebound. It t…

You’re welcome! Thank you for reading! I’m glad to hear that your words aren’t as harmful as his. It actually sounds like you communicated your worries pretty well. I think it’s valid that you’re fee…

This only works in reverse land where women ask out men....which I'm sure happens in some instances, but 99.99% of the time, its the man doing the asking.

These comments are making me nervous because my partner is a little like this. We have two modes: constructive and non-constructive. When we are constructive we are unstoppable, have great communicati…

My ex husband was not great to me in a lot of ways (hence the ex) but he never got mad at me for period accidents. Honestly he didn’t say anything, it’s not like he gave me chocolate and doted on me o…

It sounds like there are other instances, if so, why don’t you edit your post so you can tell us about the other times?

Just wanted to hop into this discussion to add that I also havent seen greys in my dreams at all. I have nearly weekly interactions with them since 2024, multiple telepathic instances, everything you …

Completely agree. Want to add that re-processing that trauma will likely be childhood & adolescent stuff. You don’t have to remember specific instances, but try to re-parent yourself as a healthier fa…
