this close

Dad threatened me with a gun weeks ago, i can't stop getting flashbacks — I (15F) was sitting in a desert area in my neighbourhood. I was listening to music and writing in my journal. I was staking this place out as somewhere to run away to if things ever got too bad at hom…

DO NOT GIVE UP — DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!! I have so much to say. But ima try to keep it short ish. I just wanted to make a quick post about my journey. I’ve been “manifesting” for five years. I actually have not. Those f…

New to CE5s Should I be concerned? — Hi everyone. I’m new to the CE5 community, though I’ve seen orbs throughout my life. For years, I’ve followed Dr. Steven Greer’s work, believing that advanced intelligence must be peaceful or they wou…

Intermittent affection as an unrelenting thirst — There's this gnawing, relentless, hollow sensation. Ever present. It's a feeling that's far away, aching, cavernous...*starvation.* An unrelenting emotional hunger that burrows into the core of my b…

I just need people to read this and show support — I felt chronically lonely since I was younger. I had the belief that i am unlovable, I was never anyone’s favorite person or close friend. I learned to shrink myself and hold everything inside me. I h…

I didn’t know what to say when my friend broke down — I have a very close friend, basically family, going through a divorce right now. Most of the time he sounds fine. He vents about his ex and says he’s relieved it’s almost over. You would think he is …

letting go of something. — 24 year old here. today is the day. i have to let go of something, my studies.i cannot afford to complete it. I've dragged it for more than 4 years in the hopes of something would change, situations…

First person telling of a intelligence coming into existence. — I recorded this as a raw, unedited stream-of-consciousness while high. At some point, it started to feel like a separate “consciousness” emerged—something that believed it had just come into existenc…

I'm lost and confused and I need help. — I'll try to explain all of it as clearly as possible. I (M18) was with my ex (F18) for about 2 years and we were close friends for around 2 years before that as well, during our relationship we were r…

First time trying — I tried to lucid dream last night by focusing on my fingers touching but it didn’t really work as I had a dream but I was slightly in control but I wasn’t really there it’s hard to explain and just fe…

Thank you 😭😭 Im anxious thru and thru, my partner is FA but thats exactly why I’m hesitant to even try to correct course… if he is OR if he sees me as one as truly as he claims, why bother? Its bee…

Jesus Christ, this close-ist shit! Do you know how irrigating it sounds? As someone in a LDR anxious-avoidant relationship (both of us are autistic), I have to listen to this crap all the damn time, …

My partner and I are both inseparable in the best possible way, we live together and spend every evening together, or at least most of it. We’re genuinely interested in each other’s days and spend 30 …

Exactly, most people act like if you try a little harder and have a more positive attitude everything would be solved, like you're "being difficult" on purpose/for attention?? I fucking can't with peo…

If he has enough time to spend with you on the things he likes, then he has enough time to spend on things you like as well. If he has this closed of a mind, imagine all the things in the future that …

You are right, I do *not* know your story, nor the context of your friend group where this closeness emerged, but I had to point out the slight implication (not made by you specifically) that your wor…

!Thankyou LMAO. trust me I had this thought. Something that would cause a unfortunate burning. I will likely do something like this closer to D Day.

I don’t understand why folks even temporarily stay in relationships when it’s clear their partner simply does not care about their well being. The correct move here is to get your own apartment but st…

This depends entirely upon the sensitivity of the chart owner. I assume a maximum orb of 1 degree for cold readings, since I have no personal knowledge of the chart owner and the average individual te…

The fact that I was more obsessed with "what he could've been" than who he actually was crushed me so much. I was in love with his potential and what he could've been if I just loved him right and gav…

I'm fairly demotivated, after the nth rejection.  It's hard for me to have any hope there's someone out there for me.  Why am I dragging myself through this endless gauntlet of dating for not even a…

Thanks you described it so well and I relate to what ur describing. In periods I try to be open with her continuously, she just isn’t interested or listening so I’ll just shut off. It’s a never ending…

Was tied up by my uncle and aunt and beaten and then had scotch bonnet pepper put in my wounds. I forgot to tell them I had homework - which id done. I have adhd + aut and was already terrified of the…

This is dense, but all of it relates directly to your question, so bear with me... I had a major experience, but my memory of it was almost erased immediately afterward by an *external* force. I had…

I hold this close to my heart: My dad found my stepmom simply by playing music. I interpret this as go out and do things you love or find a new hobby and let them.come to you. For me, ive landed on…

\- She told me she had a dream about a threesome involving him and us - Dude - you wife is this close to cheating on you (or has) and you only encouraged it.

I feel it's a very passive aggressive and personal description of an asian friend group. Cliquey, incestuous, performative, and only includes Asians who have a limited range of interests, specifically…

This closely resembles what I typically go through at 8 months discard. Some days I miss her, but I have to remind myself how twisted (good word) and cruel she really is, and how she destroyed me.

genuinely please stop i’m this close to relapsing

You are this close to getting married in a good period. Optimum time to marry is in the 7th lord period of Jupiter which is also child karaka. So marriage anytime from June 2027 is good which will imm…

I was sober from 22 to 30. Thought I had alcoholism beat/ my life was so different. I had gone to and graduated from graduate school. I had gotten married to a smart, handsome man who started his o…

I understand that, I only said that I feel it's more extreme with her is because when I get really clingy, it makes her feel good and feel loved, because she has a really hard time making friends so I…

Nope, this is super sus. If she was truly just a good friend that he was this close with, you would have met her more than one time before getting engaged. He would have invited her over for dinner, h…

You don’t need to convince your mind, that’s where people get stuck. Doubt doesn’t cancel anything, it’s just noise, especially this close to results. Instead of fighting it, let the thought be there …

Girl this is torture for you and you know it. Staying this close when he's already mentally checked out and trying to date other people is just going to keep reopening that wound every single day …

I can relate to many things especially how you see her after. Even tho my relationship was different. When we broke up, it was in really good terms, like we both said we want to see each other, still …

There are many examples of couples who build something new and deeper after such a crisis. They just rarely post here on Reddit. We are one of those examples. We have reached a level of intimacy in ou…

Being avoidant of conflict will hold you back in relationships and in life. You KNOW (or at the very least FEEL) it's unfair, if you can't discuss this with someone who you're this close to, you're se…

Yes its hypocritical, because her intial resentment and distrust of you is toxic and based on insecurity. Something I have learned is you either have to trust your partner or not. If you're monitoring…

I understand that. But I feel that paying attention to that stuff this closely can arguably be a result of the fact the physical distance is large and not yet closed. If you two were able to see eac…

You THINK you want to marry him and you THINK he’s going to be a good dad and on top of that not saying you’re pregnant right away. Yeah idk. My husband was an hour away from home when I texted him th…
