I (26F) told my boyfriend (26M) I sometimes miss the freedom of being single and he broke up with me on my birthday

There IS a lot of joy in singlehood! Men tend to assume a single woman wants to sleep around. It’s got nothing to do with it. It’s just your autonomy, do what you want, when u want, how u want, or eve…

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

That was all the old you, that was your trauma acting, not your authentic self. Nobody deserves to suffer. You deserve to be happy and free. Love is unfamiliar to you. You do not feel safe. Who ruin…

Daffodils on a first date?

What matters more than any "rules" is that you present your most authentic self. If someone doesn't like that, or thinks you're "too much", then they're not for you. Chalant it upp as long as it's …

Why does it take years to realize you’re traumatized? And why does "standard" therapy often miss the point?

I had this feeling that I was stuck. I couldn't move forward with my life and my career because of this feeling. And I was always angry. The pandemic forced my depression out. I did 12 measly CBT sess…

Anyone else struggles to understand basic social skills, but can fake being socially adjusted?

Similar story here. My early childhood was incredibly isolating, I didn't get to see much human interactions; be it adult-to-adult, adult-to-child (I wasn't interacted with much unless it was physical…

Haven't been on a date in 15 years and I don't know what women my age wear on dates now

Any stories of people doing a 180 on their fawning/people-pleasing?

I become so selfish when I try and stop fawning it’s almost like I’m a narcissist lol. I would still feel remorse if I hurt people, but I lose %95 of my desire to do anything good or give for others. …
