There was no reply because you asked a stupid question.
What are the actual steps for someone who is doing this for the very first time? Pls reply
a) law of assumption, not law of belief. And where did you get the other descriptions from? I've been on Neville sub for a while, literally noone describes the law in those words or speak in a spiritu…
Another ex messaged me today. The thing was I'm better off alone. I'm contemplating whether to reply or not. I've been left with no contact for months. 🤷🏼♀️

Can’t believe i am replying to this after a 4 week fling and my SA did a 180. Connection felt real but was way too fast (Red flag). Trying to come up with ways to continue were just ploys to avoid f…
No Contact does not mean literally no communication. How unmannered and uncivil it would sound if a person asked you "How are you ?" as you were exiting your office, one evening after work. You should…
Thank you so much for this! Actually, also 12 years and my husband had an affair 6 months ago and a new one now that I discovered right after a very sad (for me) Thanksgiving. So I get what you’re say…
Late reply, but FYI for anyone reading this from here on...every two hours will change your rising sign and rotate your whole chart another 30 degrees. So while all the planets will still show up in t…
I needed this pinned post today. When I don't reach out, I am kind of ok.. if I cave and she doesn't reply, the pain is absolutely unbearable..
From my experience the way he described it was the confusing part, especially considering the dozen translations there are of this book. Personally I think that a few things he is not right about w…
Thanks for your reply! Roughly how long did it take for your eye colour to change? Seeing as it’s such a deep-seated belief you have to change, was it a difficult mission?
Waiting patiently for a reply on bestcubs comment while people from your sub have started to delete their comments on this post. How odd.
Yup you’re the one I was trying to reply to on that post about the lottery. You think things should only look one way and can only be manifested in one way and that’s a fallacy and a limited belief. T…
I had a quick glance at this on my break and will chip in more later, just by point 1 alone I see you haven’t grasped it, feeling is the secret indeed. But the feeling isn’t emotions. 2 That knowing…
I did what you did.. except correctly 🫨 Not every one is drinking the koolaid. You’re attributing a few things you’ve seen on REDDIT OF ALL PLACES to a whole group of people. The silliness. There’s …

OP, you ended off your post above with the following words : "This post is kind of all over the place and I'm probably forgetting a few key points, but I really wanted to get this out." Is there…
This is a very silly reply. Any idiot knows that faith is essential (and unwavering faith is not, just 51% sunconscious faith vs 49% subsconsious unbelief) to LOB success. That is not the point of t…
Hey, thanks so much for your reply. I can’t find a way to translate this page into English, nor can I find any other information on this person when I type his name into google. If you have the time, …
Thanks for the reply and guidance, which is welcomed. Yes, I'm actively working on my anxious behaviours as I'm fairly self-regulating. I'm just concerned that my DA partner isn't even self-aware 🫣
Thanks for the reply, and yes…. I appreciate it… The part about being deserving of love (and for me without performance)… is one of the most recent and most powerful realizstions. Yesterday I went to …
Why would you post this topic in the attachment theory sub? This is dating 101. I see you’ve been dating for a while now - what’s stopping you from realizing people don’t have to reply back right away…
It's amazing how small changes can completely reframe your view on things. "But" is restrictive, AND opens doors. Same for Yes and No. Love your reply, thank you for the positive words!
>I am not a millionaire because that wasn’t my goal. What a foolish and dishonest reply to my earlier point, thus proving that you have no rebuttal. Banned 60 days. And covid ended 2 years back and …
Your word choice is really interesting. As someone who has an anxious attachment style, constantly wanting to contact your therapist sounds to me less like anxious attachment on a personal relationshi…

It ended with “you can’t always read their mind”. Sounds like the original commenter is similar to me or has been through stuff. But if you happen to be disorganized and also have bdp (I don’t think…
Agreed, a therapist is incredibly helpful. Appreciate your reply. I’ll check out those resources. Thank you. Hope you find your forever match soon!
Yeah. Several people ended friendships with me for needing time and replying slowly. And I can’t really blame them. If it’s not okay with them, if my communication style is painful for them- then it’s…
I can say absolutely the same about anxious-attached people, but you don’t see me doing that? You ripped my words out of the context. Do I know that I’m avoidant? Yes. I used to be real bad as a teen.…
So instead of replying individually and repeating myself, I'm just going to make a comment addressing it all. Firstly, it was interesting to read all these perspectives. I see where some of its comin…
Taking a few hours to reply is ok. Taking a few days is questionable. Taking a few weeks is unacceptable if it repeats. If my close friend does it, I wil call him. But it’s not something I will sweep …
He was definitely avoidant and also very emotionally unavailable so maybe I’ve confusing the two! I also like to take things slow, and hate rushing into anything as I’ve gotten older but there’s slo…
You’re spot on with this observation and I didn’t realize how it impacts other people at all. I am extroverted and love people but when I’ve had enough, I turn off like someone flipped a switch and I …
Thank you for your insights, but how exactly is the “allow the space” - not texting and/or replying to their chats? We are actually back together, but the communication has dropped, the distance is …
By not chasing and instead matching their pace. Absolutely reply when they text you, and match the energy if you can. Ideally you’d want to be perceived as safe, so when they text you should be detach…
There's no reason anyone needs to know that you see a therapist. If you don't tell people, they won't know right? Depending on your health insurance, a session usually only costs a copy ($20-40) fo…
Me ex said he was “anxious attachment”, he proceeded to panic and freak out after he got me pregnant and dump and abandon me. Any time I talked about moving the relationship to the next level, or plan…
Excellent reply! Everyone should read and understand what you have said, including your first line where you state, 'primary attachment style'. The other important aspect is the fact it can take m…
Indeed, this is a great reply. The answers people get online are rarely precise. What is more, I bet plenty of people lie to themselves to protect their self image or because they genuinely believe th…
i dont think you should reply. the apology seems pretty off too. no mention of what he did specifically. just a generic "i apologize for how i was at the end"
This is called “hoovering”, it’s a known technique for toxic individuals. They’re saying whatever they think will suck you back in to the scenario. Note the expansive, emotive but oddly totally no…
if you have time to spare, talk to them and take your chances. if you dont have time for trial and errors, let them know and dont start talking again. i think people who say don't reply are wrong, no …
If it will help for closure, you can absolutely ask him to tell you what went on. But please be so damn wary about this again. What could have possibly changed in the last two months, that would make …
Good god, serial abuser!? I don't need to read the rest of the comment to know we're not going to agree about this at all, if that's your take based on a single text and the post from OP. And no, I do…
