I hate that I miss him.

I understand. I hate how much I understand. My ex was the greatest love I had ever known, I would have protected him with my life. Then after he slept with me and told me he wanted to spend the rest o…

Am I overreacting or is it time to call it quits? — My partner of 10+ years and I are on a “let’s try again” phase after a they had broken up with me a few days ago and I begged to give it another go. When things are good, they are pretty amazing, and…

I dont know what to do now after breaking up with someone I truly loved for once and she left me

I dont know what to do now after breaking up with someone I truly loved for once and she left me — For context, my ex and I broke up a little over a month ago. The main reason was that I was emotionally unavailable, which caused a lot of friction in our communication. The relationship did not end o…

I (19M) Told my Friend (18F) “Did You Think I Had Feelings For You All of These Years?” — Ok, so this happened a few months back and I just got reminded of it and I am just as bewildered now as I was then. Let me give some background info to help paint the full picture. I have this friend,…

Does anyone else feel trapped in a life where every problem hooks into another one?

Does anyone else feel trapped in a life where every problem hooks into another one? — I’m sorry I have no idea what flair to use :( posting here because this feels a lot more trauma-shaped than “just stressed” or “just heartbroken,” and I’m running out of moves. I’m a fighter. I’ve b…

Haha being an FA is fucking weird

The lol is more of dark humor - all of those relationships happened over a 10 year period. Only on the recent 6 month one did I really start to see the full picture. With women that didn’t draw the an…

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

This is definitely not true. You can still get attracted to them. Especially avoidants tend to be very charming, successful and if the person is smart or you share a lot of common interests, until the…

I’m genuinely confused by the adverse effects since starting to do the programming

This would be very valid if the relational baseline and emotional part objectively didn’t shift as much when compared to how it was before for months. This was just for the context which is not the fu…

Looking for advice on how to stop being an avoidant

Attachment is a spectrum so I wouldn't suggest having strangers labeling you! We also don't have a full picture (not for us to know) but I definitely recommend therapy!

I miss him.

It wasn't an act, it just wasn't sustainable. He loved you I'm sure– to the extent he was capable of. Unfortunately, love cannot survive the psyche of a shame avoidant person. A way of thinking that…

Why do I not resonate at all with my ascendant sign?

Because you're focusing too much on the sign of the Ascendant and missing the full picture. Your Ascendant ruler is Leo Mars in the 10th house- Leo is not guarded, closed off, dark, or mysterious. And…

Has anybody found awareness to be functionally unhelpful?

Yes. Sometimes I feel like "halfway to enlightened" is worse than "ignorance is bliss." I don't mean halfway to enlightened literally, of course, but I mean transitions can be rough. Change is uneven,…

Being forced to become smarter than them because they are dumb as hell

It's always those who are the stupidest, think they know everything. The ego, narcissism and pride get them in the end. I feel the same way about my family. They come from surviving the Vietnam war an…

my boyfriend always talks about my body as if he’s settling for it :( (20M 20F)

I don't get stereotypes and their relation to Sun signs?

You're actually on the right track with this. In Eastern astrology systems like the Chinese birth chart, there's no concept of a single "sign" at all — your chart has multiple elements interacting, an…

You cannot build a future with someone who is incapable of repair

I think accountability goes both ways. The hard part about relationships is that it can feel like you’re either constantly apologizing or constantly forgiving, and I don’t know if I have it in me to d…

Do zodiac compatibility charts actually work in real relationships?

shifting with LOA is intolerable as an autistic person

Yes, my brain is stubborn in a similar way. But, with persistence, I think it is very possible to correct our ''logic.'' For example, reminding ourselves that our perceptions are likely to be at least…
