2024.05.14 11:33 Sweet-Proof2960 Am I (f28) over him (m28)
He (M28) broke up with me(F28) 7 months ago due to my insecurities. My behavior and my actions started to affect the relationship. I decided to go back to him and during 3-4 months we talked about what would change and what we would do differently this time. We dated for another 2 months and again, the resentment came in and ruined things for me. I’m now in therapy and have been trying to do the work. 2 weeks after the breakup I asked for another opportunity because I still loved him. He told me he no longer felt the same and I didn’t believe him. I showed up at his house and we talked . He told me he had a lot to think about . For 2 weeks I didn’t hear from him, I sat waiting on a response from him. I reached out again and this really hurt . The fact that he couldn’t just text me a yes or no… the fact that I had to reach out again. Anyways he agreed to a couples massage that I had brought up the day I met up with him at his house. I ask for a date to meet up and he gives me the run around . So I wait another week and we decide for this week… however , now I’m hurt . The way he made me chase him again, the way he made me double text him and the way he pushed me away these last 2 months . Idk how I feel now, I’m not sure if I want to go on that couples massage anymore . Am I over it ? Yet , I think about him and how much fun he’s having on his social media and I get angry . Shouldn’t I feel indifferent if I’m over him? 😣
TL;DR: Im feeling anger towards him and how he’s ignored me these last few weeks after the breakup. We are supposed to meet up tomorrow . Am I over him ?

2024.05.14 11:32 ssttuueeyy Self sabotage again... I thought i was past this
Hi everyone.
I'm a 41 year old man, diagnosed 2 years ago, medicated etc.. 3 years ago I went back into education to get a degree. Did a foundation year due to not completing school or having any A-levels (i think this is AP in the US), did well, completed 1st year, did well. now in my second year of my degree and I've completely fucked everything up. I got an extension for corsework on a module and still completely failed to complete or hand the work in. got another extension for another piece of work and did the same, wrote an essay that was half of the word count, handed in an incomplete presentation.
I don't know why. Now i'm spiralling and i can't even look at my uni email inbox. I've spent 3 years and god knows how much money on this. I love the course, my tutors are nice and I understand the work, but I've fucked it. It seems that 3 years is my limit for doing anything and then I have to find a way to ruin it for myself.
The university know I have ADHD and I have a SpLD (specific learning disability) statement, but it hasn't helped and I've been given bugger all support by the university.
I haven't told anyone whats happened, my wife thinks i'm doing well, so I'm a liar as well as a failure.
I'm angry at myself, i'm really upset and i'm ashamed and its eating at me. I don't know what to do or where to go from here (besides laying down in a forest and becoming one with the moss (although I'd probably fail at that too - "You're supposed to be one with the moss, why are you covered in lichens?!... OMG is that a fern?")).
So yeah... whoops-a-daisy... another chaotic mess of a failure to add to the giant collection.

2024.05.14 11:31 cathoderituals Do you push people away because you've convinced yourself that you're protecting them?
I was thinking back to some conversations I had last year where I practically begged someone to dump me and block me. Sometimes I've done this because I get really overwhelmed and stressed out by too much ambiguity, but it's generally because I think I'm too much for them to put up with or get the impression they think I am.
I ran across a chat with another friend last year where he was acting as an intermediary between me and someone else, and I basically told him that I wish that person would block me or tell me off so I could stop clinging to hope for things to get better, and to ask her to do so. He responded, "I can't control her. I asked her to block you or tell you she doesn’t want to speak to you again and she blocked you." I immediately felt terrible and sad, but in retrospect, it was like begging for confirmation of my negative self-talk about I decided that person probably felt. And maybe they did, I don't know because I pushed for it to happen first.
What kills me is that I do this kind of thing, but I don't actually want them to get rid of me or block me. I care about them and want them in my life really badly. It's just that caring about them is why I sometimes feel like I have to do it to protect them by trying to remove the stress I cause from their lives. Or so I tell myself. I guess I figure they don't get rid of me because they don't want to be hurtful, so I'll make it easier for them to get rid of me guilt-free by just getting ahead of it? I don't know.
In the moment, I think "This person would be so much better off and so much happier without me." I usually regret doing this stuff later, but usually once it's done, there's really no coming back from it or any apology that can make up for it and set things right again. It's not a routine thing I do, but has happened before with romantic relationships and situationships when I get scared and panic.
Does anyone else push people away like this despite knowing it's a really shitty and destructive thing to do, both to yourself and people close to you? Has anyone who's done this sort of thing managed to cease ever doing it again?

2024.05.14 11:30 Fthku Westerners' hyperfocus on the conflict vs other issues
Long rant ahead, pretty disorganized as well as it was initially a reply on another post before I decided to make it its own post. Apologies!
As an Israeli, it's absolutely incredible to me how this conflict, which has nothing to do with the Westerners' public, takes up such a significant part of their lives. There are countless other significantly worse conflicts, tremendously worse global problems (climate change, the lingering effects of COVID, resources dwindling for humanity as a whole, pollution, etc.), the heaps of domestic issues (especially in the US) - and this far away conflict in a piece of land smaller than some major world cities is the biggest focus of some of these peoples' lives.
This isn't whataboutism, I'm not saying people can't take an interest with issue X just because there exists a worse issue Y. The point is the amount of time people are spending on this vs. other issues, even if we put aside the fact that they are all ignorant, completely misinformed useful idiots.
These "activists" are fully investing their time in this completely irrelevant issue to them. I was just visiting the US, and I passed by a virtue-signaling house in Seattle. It had it all - BLM, pride flag, and others. All worthy causes. But those were all small signs on the side of the house, but on the front was a gigantic Palestinian flag with a gigantic "free Palestine" slogan as well. Really?! This is the issue you're spending energy on and bringing the most awareness to? Not BLM, not LGBT, both of which are incredibly relevant to you and your country? Do black people, your actual fellow countrymen, no longer face racism? Do LGBT not get harassed or suffer violence?
And let's not forget another big elephant in the room - none of them speak up at all against antisemitism. So what, human rights activists, but Jews Don't Count? Hell, forget speaking up - many of them ENDORSE violence against Jews (and as we've seen from many of their protests, they're just violent in general). Unbelievable hypocrites, so it's "Palestinians are not Hamas" on the one hand, but every single Jew on the planet is complicit in whatever blood libel you've concocted?
Like with Jews in general, their hatred of every single Israeli alive is also massively hypocritical and obviously vile and wrong. I've not seen a single people alive receive as much hate as we do purely based on our nationality. Even those other nations that experience such hate online, it'd usually be isolated to receiving it from whatever nation they are in conflict with. Are Russian immigrants expected to give answers about the war? Do Chinese immigrants get hate for their government's actions? And so on.
I'm 35 years old and a computer nerd, and pretty much since I can remember myself, I would receive hate and contempt online just for mentioning I'm Israeli. Whenever we would take a trip abroad, my parents would make sure to tell us to always say we're from some other country if asked. Do you have any idea what an impact this has on a kid, growing up knowing he needs to be afraid to mention where he is? How difficult it was to understand why people might harm us when I'm just a kid, never did anything to anyone in my short life?
The amount of propaganda out there is just astonishing. It is mostly driven by Iran, Russia, and Qatar. It is extremely hard to fight this with such a small country as Israel, especially when our PR is disastrous and more often than not, it's regular people who do the job instead of officials. And Westerners eat it up, as well as apply their local race politics (mostly Americans) to the conflict when it has nothing to do with it, not to mention how they're completely unaware that even if it was relevant, the majority of Israelis are Mizrahi Jews, "brown" as Americans love to say, and on the flip side a sizeable amount of Palestinians are white skinned themselves, hell a lot of Levantines are like Syrians and Lebanese. Druze are basically 100% levantine and are pretty white skinned. Anyway, yeah, skin color has nothing to do with it, which is probably head error-inducing for Americans used to making it all about race.
It's depressing. And it honestly seems hopeless to battle it, we can't stand up to the incredible propaganda machine working against us constantly. Couple it with people generally prone to fall for populist rubbish and be ignorant in general, it's a losing battle.

2024.05.14 11:30 Exact_Cause_36 My (41F) Ex/Abuser (55M) is baby trapping his new victim (26ish F) and I’m having so much anxiety. I need help dealing.
I posted here a while back (since deleted) asking if I should warn his new fiancé. Everyone told me it wouldn’t matter and somewhere deep down I now that’s true. But I feel terrible about it.
After we were married we got into a huge fight, and I nearly left but didn’t. Lo and behold I was pregnant shortly after that. I was on the pill but its not reliable for me, I dont know if its a weight thing or what but I would be spotty nearly 3 weeks out of the month, and we used condoms because of this. We also had a honeymoon planned to Puerto Vallarta (with friends, so it was an excuse for my ex to show off his “wealth”) he called it off saying we needed to save for the baby and I couldn’t be drinking or anything anyway. He always has loved showing off but it’s always been a façade. Driving a BMW but the mortgage was late, sometimes the water would get shut off, I had to budget for groceries, all the while he was convincing people we were well off.
So now, his fiancé is pregnant and they’ve called off the wedding (in Cancun where he would be paying for her family to go)
The thing is, she’s a “sugar baby” (their words) so she thinks he’s rich. She’s going to find out eventually that he’s one paycheck away from losing everything. She’s a content creator and all her content is about their relationship and her sugar baby status.
When we split up my attorney told me I should run. He told me that my ex was going to try to kill me. My ex threatened to kill me, but when people found out he was broke, not paying taxes and arrested for DV he left town. He keeps a house here in my neighborhood so he has somewhere to stay when he visits the kids.
He is now so far over extended that he is selling his house here. He’s put his relationships with the kids on the back burner and puts no effort into spending time with them even when he is here. They go to his house and sit in their rooms, but my youngest has had enough and hardly sees or speaks to him at all.
I’m so scared for her because he has sacrificed so much for that relationship. He’s made himself look like a complete clown on the internet, he’s paying off her family with gifts and parties, he’s taken her on the company’s private plane so she’s met his boss (the plane only flies with him in it), he has no relationship with his kids and once the house is gone he will probably never be back. This house is his only asset, the cars are all 10+ years old and the house he’s living in is rented.
I’m scared when she finds out she’ll try to leave and he’ll kill her. It’s 4am here and I can’t sleep because it just keeps playing out in my mind. I don’t think he would kill his fiancés other kids, but I think if he was going to kill her or himself then he would kill the infant too because he couldn’t imagine the baby being ok without him. It’s a baby boy.
I predicted him selling this house. I predicted him alienating the kids. I predicted the pregnancy and I predicted the wedding being canceled.
Now I know there’s nothing I can do but hope she never questions his web of lies.

2024.05.14 11:28 kirstenoze ex-boyfriend
hi! ask lang po sana for advice, birthday ng ex ko bukas hindi ko alam if dapat ko siyang i-greet or nah? kasi nag random send po siya sa‘kin nang reels sa ig (hindi niya usually ginagawa since last chat namin nag imissyou ako sakaniya tapos binalewala niya lang)
nagpaparamdam din kasi siya sa‘kin lately bale kabisado niya na ginagawa ko sa pang araw-araw since hindi naman ako nagbago nung nagbreak kami. 1yr tinagal nung relationship namin nagkabalikan kami pero hindi biglang nag usap parang nagka lost contact na lang walang proper break up pero we both know naman na end na yun parang inistop na lang namin itry pa, inunfriend niya na rin ako sa mga social media pero inadd niya pa din naman ako ulit, nagkausap na kami last last month lang ata and sabi niya kalimutan ko na lahat like i-blurd ko na lang daw nahalata niyang nagpaparamdam nga ‘ko sakaniya by sending reels sa ig kasi nga ginawa niya na sakin yun before.
dumadaan-daan siya dito sa lugar namin(super far neto sakanila as in) kaya masyadong mahahalata kung magpapansin siya dito since wala naman siyang ganap here sa amin banda dumadaan daan lang talaga siya paulit-ulit.
iniwan ko pa current boyfriend(we're currently friends pero ik na gusto niya pa din ako) ko niyan kasi super na confused ako sakaniya and feeling ko hindi pa ako fully healed kasi apektadong-apektado pa din ako hanggang ngayon parang isang tawag niya lang eh babalik nako sakaniya kaya ayoko ng may madamay
greatest love kasi siya lang talaga nakaintindi sa ugali ko, sakaniya ko lang naranasan yung ganoong kasaya kaya po hindi talaga ako makausad
please be nice.

2024.05.14 11:27 XGramatik Pepperstone: Nvidia Q1 25 earnings preview – will the Kraken awake?
 | https://preview.redd.it/ybyodya41d0d1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=65f143a855260b9d46e2ca165c58b8f798280f51 submitted by XGramatik to XGramatikInsights [link] [comments] Authored by Chris Weston Due to report shortly after market close on 22 May (typically 06:20 AEST / 21:20 UK). “The most important stock in the world” - That was the label given to Nvidia (NVDA) throughout February as we geared up for its highly anticipated Q424 earnings results. Where, at the time, the sheer number of articles written on the stock was incredible – when you are a momentum stock, you need this sort of attention to fuel the beast. Nvidia – story count (Source: Bloomberg) Since March though the hype has settled, and we see reduced news flow. In fact, we’re seeing an increasing number of articles directing traders away from Nvidia and towards other smaller names in the AI-semi space that could potentially see explosive moves. With the momentum in NVDA falling away since Nvidia’s last earnings, and with Nvidia lacking a near-term catalyst, amid some concern of an over-supplied chips market, market players have moved their attention towards quality defensive areas of the equity market and value as an investment factor, with utilities, energy, and materials all seeing strong outperformance of late vs the S&P500. We can also see this lack of momentum in NVDA’s technical set-up and price action, with shares rallying in a $205 range between $947 to $756, and now finding a fair value around $900. Traders remain buyers of pullbacks, where the trigger for long positions seems to be when the shares fall 10% below the 50-day moving average. https://preview.redd.it/yj7d1zof1d0d1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=da78d5e07cf496e03c1f7eb9db61642d9c7b0d8a Nvidia may not be the hot topic it was in February, is that about to change? For a short period, absolutely, with the eyes of the trading world falling once again on NVDA’s quarterly earnings. The options market is pricing a -/+8.9% on the first day of trade after earnings (i.e. the 23 May), which if priced correctly, from current levels, could see the stock trade into new all-time highs or see it closer to $820. With a current market capitalization of $2.260t, an 8.9% move would equate to $200b in gained/lost market cap in one day, which would essentially be larger than the market cap of 82 companies in the NAS100. We can also go back over the past 8 quarterly earnings announcements and that Nvidia has seen an average move of 8.5% on the day of reporting, with shares closing higher in 6 of the past 8 quarters. Many will recall the Q424 earnings (reported in February), where the share price closed +16.4% on the day and went on to rally a further 23.4% over the following 11 trading sessions. Earnings pedigree – few do it better Let’s not forget that few companies globally have NVDA’s form at beating analysts’ consensus expectations on earnings-per-share (EPS), revenue, or gross margins. Perhaps the bar is perennially set too low, but NVDA has beaten expectations for revenue for the reporting quarter, as well as on expectations for the upcoming quarter, on all but two occasions since 2018: Q32019 and Q2 2023 being the exceptions. https://preview.redd.it/qaih2bdn1d0d1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=97d65af3f0b9ea8f03a5adb34e8a1b985a391013 In the past 4 quarterly earnings reports, NVDA has beaten guidance on sales for the upcoming quarter by an average of 14% - remarkable form, especially when they have a CEO (Jensen Huang) who knows how to hit the sweet spot and say exactly what investors want to hear in the post-earnings conference call. Earnings expectations for Q1 2025 – will they beat yet again? Q125 EPS – $5.51 (Q2 25 guidance expectations - $5.96c) Q125 revenue - $24.58b (Q2 25 guidance expectations - $26.617b) Data centres revenue - $20.903b (Q2 25 expectations - $22.567b) Gross Margins – 77.01% (Q2 25 guidance expectations - 75.61%) Recall in the prior earnings call CEO Jensen Huang suggested AI was at ‘a tipping point, which was a big topic of discussion. Given that NVDA only recently held its GTC conference in March and explored the future across multiple touch points, this time around traders will react on news that isn’t already discounted into the stock - growth opportunities, maintain its monopolistic qualities, levels of capex, and future partnerships. Traders have found opportunities outside of AI-related semi and while many feel Nvidia lacks a near-term catalyst, the element of surprise is always there. The idea of ‘as goes Nvidia, as goes the market’ has dissipated, but it could make a return – and with big movement expected, this is a key event for equity and index CFD traders to have on the radar. Trade Nvidia on Pepperstone’s 24-hour markets and react and trade the earnings as they break |

2024.05.14 11:25 Open-Description9179 Polyamorous marriage
I(26F) am in a polyamorous relationship with my partner (22F). We’ve been together for about 6 months now. She lived in Korea for a year and that’s how we got together, and now she went back to the US. Because of me being in Korea, and her America, we decided to get married for visa reason. That would be easier for us to not be separated longer and have prolonged long distance relationship. I agreed to it, she agreed to it, and now I’m preparing the process to move to America. So here comes my worries. I’m quitting my current job, my future career that is kind of easier for me to plan for than in the US, my family and my friends, not solely because of her since I wanted to live abroad but also for stepping the step, a big chunk because of her. I had a boyfriend of 5 years and have broken up to be with her too. (She’s not aware I did this though I just did it because my ex was not open to polyamorous relationship) She’s the first woman I’ve ever slept with and been in relationship with. Also, I’ve never been in polyamorous relationship before, (it’s her first too) even though I do have polyamorous ideologies and was and am open to the idea of polyamory. It was through her that I first knew and experienced about this concept thoroughly, and have kind of thrown into a throuple situation too. I was aware of the situation and in my mind was okay with it. However, whenever she tells me about the girls that she “gets” or had sex with or just won’t stop talking about them and the details about sex they had, I can’t help but feel like she’s trying to brag about her other partners, and I can’t tell her intentions of telling it to me. Sometimes I wonder if she enjoys seeing me being uncomfortable or jealous and hurt, and it gets me upset. Maybe she just wants to talk about things openly, maybe she has sadist tendencies who knows. But I just have this vibe that she’s flaunting about it (e.g. “She told me I make her feel like a highschool girly”) she does have a playboy vibe, and maybe it’s just that Idk. Anyways, we have talked about it before that I don’t want to know much about her other partners, that seeing it in-person or hearing about it in details gets me uncomfortable, but whenever she gets with a girl she wants to talk about it. I just want to know the essential minimum, who is it and when they’re meeting. That’s it. I added another boundary today, being that when we finally live together, I don’t think I want her to bring other girls into our apartment. She can do whatever she wants outside, out of sight, but I don’t want her in sight with other people. I don’t think I can handle that far. She heard the boundaries and have respected partially, but also added that she would want to bring other people when I’m not at home. My point for telling her this boundary was that I want something at least sacred for just us. I also told her before that for me she is the primary partner, even if there are other people that I’m with. Emotionally. And it’s true. But I don’t think it is for her. Or that we have different type of polyamory. For me, I’d like to have a primary partner, which is her, and then comes other partners. We have signed the paperwork and we are legally married through proxy marriage. Now that we’re married, I can’t help but feel unsure and a little anxious about my future. A little more now than before when we were just dating. Even if it’s just a paperwork for me to be together. What if I go there, and she just finds someone that she wants to spend more time with and have deeper connection with than me, which it kind of feels like she already have someone in mind that she wants to do that in the future, and throw me off from the “primary partner position”. I’m going to feel like I’m stranded. She’s going to feel like I’m caging her or sth, but I would rly have no one there as I’m just moved in to a completely different country. I sound such a monogamous person but I do love the idea of having other partners. I have a few that I’m seeing rn as well. They are all wonderful people. Im just having a hard time finding the balance of respecting what she wants and what I want. She is a loving, caring person, and I love her a lot. But it just feels so unstable for me to move. I think I’m torn everyday feeling sure and unsure like on a seesaw. Knowing her and loving her I want to move right away, and also thinking of all the risks, I feel like I should pull away to protect myself. I feel like she’s going to want to keep push the limits. Adding another risk, if I petition for a marriage visa, and during the process if I get divorced, I won’t be able to sign for any type of marriage visa anymore. Also, if we get divorced after the visa goes through and I’m the US, I can’t get remarried for another 2-5 years, depending on when the divorce happens. Im not saying I’m expecting a divorce, but considering it’s a polyamorous relationship, and considering my emotional rollercoaster, I feel like anything could happen. I don’t know what to do or what to feel at the moment, but primarily I’m torn between moving to the US, or just stay in Korea cause if it happens, it has to happen within a month. Sorry that it’s long and kind of everywhere, but this keeps me up at night these days and I needed to make decisions quick so I thought I should ask it here. Thank you for reading my long story!

2024.05.14 11:25 Outrageous-Tree-9836 Really struggling with relationship, advice needed
I (26) have been with my partner (58) for almost 3 years now.
Before getting into the relationship I was very clear that a big condition for me would be having an open relationship with open communication. I like sex, and I like to go to saunas, cruising etc. I understand that open relationships aren't for everyone, so I told it to him as honestly as I could.
He said that would be fine with him but that he would like a few months of monogamy before opening the relationship. I said I thought that was a good idea.
4 months in, I'm still monogamous. He lets it slip that he hooked up with an old fuck buddy earlier in the week. I was upset because the only reason I was being monogamous was because he asked me. He said I don't have any reason to be upset because I wanted an open relationship from the very beginning.
More months pass, we slowly start having threesomes and going to saunas together, but any 1 on 1 open relationship stuff is out of the window still.
1.5 years in, I sit him down and say we need to have a serious conversation about the relationship. I tell him this doesn't seem like what I talked to him about at all. He gets upset but says fine, I can hook up with men but I need to 1. Tell him beforehand. 2. I can't bring them home. 3. He can't be home. 4. He can't even be in town.
So now I'm thinking, fine I have to wait for him to visit his family out of town or something. He's retired so he's almost never out of the house or out of town on his own. Regardless I tried to follow his conditions. I told him beforehand, he was out of town, etc. But when I came home we had an enormous argument. So I've really never tried again.
2.5 years in. Today he said he had to go out of town, so I asked him if it's ok if I hook up with someone. He got upset, and wouldn't respond to me. Eventually saying "fine just go do it! I don't care!". I tell him I think we're no longer on the same page about this, and I'm confused because this is very far from what I told him I was looking for before we first started going out. He got angry and stormed off.
I'm at a loss. I don't know if it's my fault that this is all happening. I feel like I was lied to when we first started going out. I really need advice.

Have a nice day guys!
2024.05.14 11:23 olls_9 I just feel so alone.
I’ve always struggled to make friends, and I’ve never really felt like I fitted in anywhere, but I’ve never felt as alone as I do right now. I go to work, come home, feel lonely, go to bed, then repeat. I can’t go through life spending the rest of my days feeling like this.
I’m in a completely different situation to where I thought I’d be at 23. In some ways, things have turned out better, but in other ways, they’re a lot worse. I’m trying to get on my own two feet, but my future feels pretty bleak and lonely with the way things are.
I work a minimum wage job in retail, which I enjoy at times, but it’s not something I want to do forever. Right now I think having a job makes me one of the lucky ones. A job is better than no job. I know my job is important, as I need to earn a living, but I have a non existent social life. I know that the answer is to try and meet new people, but I don’t really know how to do this. I’ve never liked drinking or clubbing, which is what most people my age like to do. An enjoyable day out for me would be something like going to the cinema, or taking a walk along the beach, but I’m not going to meet people by doing these things. Most of my hobbies are things I can do by myself, and even with something like video games, I prefer to play alone as it’s my downtime activity to relax. I know there’s sites like meetup that have organised groups to meet people, but I work shifts for my job, and it’s very rare I’m off on a weekend. I’m not going to be able to meet people I could eventually hang out with on an individual basis, who would make plans with me around work, if I can’t show up to the groups in the first place.
I’ve tried to make friends online, but as I’m sure a lot of you have experienced, ghosting is a common problem. I’m not giving up, but I’m trying to strike a balance between trying to put myself out there, but not spending too much time searching. I’ve spent too long on the likes of Reddit looking to see if there’s anyone like me, but then feeling awful and more alone because I haven’t found it.
I do struggle with socialising a bit, but I’m determined to not let that hold me back. I’ve always been a quiet and introverted person, until I get to know someone well. I think it’s a coping mechanism I’ve developed due to past experiences that I feel like running a mile when someone new talks to me. My brain convinces me that I’m better off on my own than being vulnerable with someone and getting hurt, but deep down, I’d love to talk to someone. The idea of walking into a room full of new people and introducing myself absolutely terrifies me. My job has forced me to come out of my shell to a point, and even just small talk with customers makes me feel like I’m improving my social skills. However, even with colleagues who I’ve now known for over six months, I’m still planning my next response in a conversation or worrying whether I’ve said the right thing or not. I tend to trip over my words, but the more I try to correct it, the more my sentence just sounds like a bunch of noises. I’m also someone who goes red the more someone stares. I’m scared I come across as this awkward, pathetic kid, and I’m conscious that some colleagues sometimes seem to be more laughing at me than with me.
I’m also a trans guy and asexual. The dating pool is therefore already massively reduced, which is made worse by me being trans. Being trans has been the most isolating experience of my life, and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. I’ve never been in a relationship, and despite being asexual, I would like some romance and someone to make some memories with. I also feel like the older I get, the more it will look like a red flag if I haven’t ever been with anyone. There’s no local groups for ace people, but I’ve tried online in various ace specific places. Despite being in the UK, which is small compared to the likes of places like the US, most people seem to be down south near London, whereas I’m up in the north. When you’re already part of such a small minority, it feels even worse when you’re then alienated from that community.
The problem is, you start to convince yourself after a while that there’s something wrong with you. If everyone else has friends and partners, and not you, you’re clearly the problem, right? The amount of times I’ve felt unwanted, unloveable, and invisible because no one has given me the time of day is too many to count. I try my best to be nice to people I encounter both on and offline, because I often think how nice it would be if someone just sat down and was genuinely interested in me and what I had to say.
I often wonder why I’m trying to build a life for myself. I don’t want to live if I’m just going to be doing everything alone. I know some people are perfectly happy on their own, and I respect that, but that’s no life for me. I’m getting pretty fed up of people saying ‘You’re young, you’ll meet someone.’ I have no one. I’m so scared I’m go to go through this life alone and die alone. I know I’m not very optimistic, but you start wondering after a while if things are ever going to change.

I’ve never been in a relationship, and despite being asexual, I would like some romance and someone to make some memories with. I also feel like the older I get, the more it will look like a red flag if I haven’t ever been with anyone. There’s no local groups for ace people, but I’ve tried online in various ace specific places. Despite being in the UK, which is small compared to the likes of places like the US, most people seem to be down south near London, whereas I’m up in the north. When you’re already part of such a small minority, it feels even worse when you’re then alienated from that community.

The amount of times I’ve felt unwanted, unloveable, and invisible because no one has given me the time of day is too many to count. I try my best to be nice to people I encounter both on and offline, because I often think how nice it would be if someone just sat down and was genuinely interested in me and what I had to say.
I often wonder why I’m trying to build a life for myself. I don’t want to live if I’m just going to be doing everything alone. I know some people are perfectly happy on their own, and I respect that, but that’s no life for me. I’m getting pretty fed up of people saying ‘You’re young, you’ll meet someone.’ I have no one.

2024.05.14 11:23 olls_9 I just feel so alone.
I’ve always struggled to make friends, and I’ve never really felt like I fitted in anywhere, but I’ve never felt as alone as I do right now. I go to work, come home, feel lonely, go to bed, then repeat. I can’t go through life spending the rest of my days feeling like this.
I’m in a completely different situation to where I thought I’d be at 23. In some ways, things have turned out better, but in other ways, they’re a lot worse. I’m trying to get on my own two feet, but my future feels pretty bleak and lonely with the way things are.
I work a minimum wage job in retail, which I enjoy at times, but it’s not something I want to do forever. Right now I think having a job makes me one of the lucky ones. A job is better than no job. I know my job is important, as I need to earn a living, but I have a non existent social life. I know that the answer is to try and meet new people, but I don’t really know how to do this. I’ve never liked drinking or clubbing, which is what most people my age like to do. An enjoyable day out for me would be something like going to the cinema, or taking a walk along the beach, but I’m not going to meet people by doing these things. Most of my hobbies are things I can do by myself, and even with something like video games, I prefer to play alone as it’s my downtime activity to relax. I know there’s sites like meetup that have organised groups to meet people, but I work shifts for my job, and it’s very rare I’m off on a weekend. I’m not going to be able to meet people I could eventually hang out with on an individual basis, who would make plans with me around work, if I can’t show up to the groups in the first place.
I’ve tried to make friends online, but as I’m sure a lot of you have experienced, ghosting is a common problem. I’m not giving up, but I’m trying to strike a balance between trying to put myself out there, but not spending too much time searching. I’ve spent too long on the likes of Reddit looking to see if there’s anyone like me, but then feeling awful and more alone because I haven’t found it.
I do struggle with socialising a bit, but I’m determined to not let that hold me back. I’ve always been a quiet and introverted person, until I get to know someone well. I think it’s a coping mechanism I’ve developed due to past experiences that I feel like running a mile when someone new talks to me. My brain convinces me that I’m better off on my own than being vulnerable with someone and getting hurt, but deep down, I’d love to talk to someone. The idea of walking into a room full of new people and introducing myself absolutely terrifies me. My job has forced me to come out of my shell to a point, and even just small talk with customers makes me feel like I’m improving my social skills. However, even with colleagues who I’ve now known for over six months, I’m still planning my next response in a conversation or worrying whether I’ve said the right thing or not. I tend to trip over my words, but the more I try to correct it, the more my sentence just sounds like a bunch of noises. I’m also someone who goes red the more someone stares. I’m scared I come across as this awkward, pathetic kid, and I’m conscious that some colleagues sometimes seem to be more laughing at me than with me.

2024.05.14 11:23 L0GANW4SH3RE im living a lie
I am fairly sure I qualify as a pathological liar and terrible person. Ever since I was young I have felt estranged and different from my family and used to make up stories about them and fake nationalities and backgrounds. This has evovled to the point where I now have a fully fledged fabricated family and childhood.
To my friends, teachers, the strangers I meet and my amazing and beautiful girlfirend I am a 17 Italian American immigrant from Brooklyn whose family is moderately involved with crime. The truth is I have lived in Australia my entire life and my accent comes from TV and an identity crisis when I was 14 becuase of my absent parents. My personality, dreams, hobbies, relationships, and love for my girlfriend is real but this lie haunts me and I am ashamed. I love my grilfriend and my identity but I dont want this lie or bruden anymore.
Im seeing a physcarist on this week and Im going to confess. A part of me wants to ignore the lie of my background and hope that I could get away with it but I just want to be me now not a persona.
TLDR: I have lied that about my nationality and childhood becuase im a POS

2024.05.14 11:21 Thr0way_666 At what point does your body give out
Ive been dealing with restrictive anorexia for the last 8 months. At first, i didn’t at all care for the numbers. As time went on, i became more and more obsessed with calorie counting. Currently my Bmi is 16 and it’s starting to worry me. I take supplements and stopped exercising, but i get dizzy when i stand up, my joints hurt, muscle cramps, side cramping, brain fog, headache, and I’ve been really constipated. Most of it has been normal to me, but starting yesterday, I’ve been rapidy losing weight and feeling worse than usual. I lost 4lbs in less than a week. I lost 2lbs just from today. Ive been making an effort to eat, but still too scared to ask for help or eat more than my limit. But im starting to get worried because i barely started looking into the physical effects of anorexia and now im scared my bodys too weak to function. At what point does ur body just give out? Considering how long ive been restricting, im worried that what im experiencing means my bodys shutting down. Are there specific symptoms? Please help Im too scared to go to the hospital for it.

- Silent Counting at End of Exhale:
- Continue the count silently, moving only your lips, until your lungs feel completely empty.

I work a minimum wage job in retail, which I enjoy at times, but it’s not something I want to do forever. Right now I think having a job makes me one of the lucky ones. A job is better than no job. I know my job is important, as I need to earn a living, but I have a non existent social life. I know that the answer is to try and meet new people, but I don’t really know how to do this. I’ve never liked drinking or clubbing, which is what most people my age like to do. An enjoyable day out for me would be something like going to the cinema, or taking a walk along the beach, but I’m not going to meet people by doing these things. Most of my hobbies are things I can do by myself, and even with something like video games, I prefer to play alone as it’s my downtime activity to relax. I know there’s sites like meetup that have organised groups to meet people, but I work shifts for my job, and it’s very rare I’m off on a weekend. I’m not going to be able to meet people I could eventually hang out with on an individual basis, who would make plans with me around work, if I can’t show up to the groups in the first place.
I’ve tried to make friends online, but as I’m sure a lot of you have experienced, ghosting is a common problem. I’m not giving up, but I’m trying to strike a balance between trying to put myself out there, but not spending too much time searching. I’ve spent too long on the likes of Reddit looking to see if there’s anyone like me, but then feeling awful and more alone because I haven’t found it.
I do struggle with socialising a bit, but I’m determined to not let that hold me back. I’ve always been a quiet and introverted person, until I get to know someone well. I think it’s a coping mechanism I’ve developed due to past experiences that I feel like running a mile when someone new talks to me. My brain convinces me that I’m better off on my own than being vulnerable with someone and getting hurt, but deep down, I’d love to talk to someone. The idea of walking into a room full of new people and introducing myself absolutely terrifies me. My job has forced me to come out of my shell to a point, and even just small talk with customers makes me feel like I’m improving my social skills. However, even with colleagues who I’ve now known for over six months, I’m still planning my next response in a conversation or worrying whether I’ve said the right thing or not. I tend to trip over my words, but the more I try to correct it, the more my sentence just sounds like a bunch of noises. I’m also someone who goes red the more someone stares. I’m scared I come across as this awkward, pathetic kid, and I’m conscious that some colleagues sometimes seem to be more laughing at me than with me.
I’m also a trans guy and asexual. The dating pool is therefore already massively reduced, which is made worse by me being trans. Being trans has been the most isolating experience of my life, and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. I’ve never been in a relationship, and despite being asexual, I would like some romance and someone to make some memories with. I also feel like the older I get, the more it will look like a red flag if I haven’t ever been with anyone. There’s no local groups for ace people, but I’ve tried online in various ace specific places. Despite being in the UK, which is small compared to the likes of places like the US, most people seem to be down south near London, whereas I’m up in the north. When you’re already part of such a small minority, it feels even worse when you’re then alienated from that community.
The problem is, you start to convince yourself after a while that there’s something wrong with you. If everyone else has friends and partners, and not you, you’re clearly the problem, right? The amount of times I’ve felt unwanted, unloveable, and invisible because no one has given me the time of day is too many to count. I try my best to be nice to people I encounter both on and offline, because I often think how nice it would be if someone just sat down and was genuinely interested in me and what I had to say.
I often wonder why I’m trying to build a life for myself. I don’t want to live if I’m just going to be doing everything alone. I know some people are perfectly happy on their own, and I respect that, but that’s no life for me. I’m getting pretty fed up of people saying ‘You’re young, you’ll meet someone.’ I have no one. I’m so scared I’m go to go through this life alone and die alone. I know I’m not very optimistic, but you start wondering after a while if things are ever going to change.
2024.05.14 11:21 danleeter Mobile app install count in web app !?
Hey. Can I get the total installs of my app or any app including iOS and android in mobile app and web app both ?
I've tried looking up, it appears Google does provide a way not sure using play-install-referrer. However, this doesn't sound like a decent solution.
Please do let know if there's a way to get the total download count for mobile app either in mobile app or in a web app. Thanks.

2024.05.14 11:21 olls_9 I just feel so alone.
I’ve always struggled to make friends, and I’ve never really felt like I fitted in anywhere, but I’ve never felt as alone as I do right now. I go to work, come home, feel lonely, go to bed, then repeat. I can’t go through life spending the rest of my days feeling like this.

2024.05.14 11:20 storabee Ugh rewatching I always have to skip aprils plot
I know there’s already people who hate on this storyline but when April shows up it’s always so annoying.. Most people say it’s because april is just an annoying character but it annoys me because Lorelei and Luke were pretty solid before she enters. I enjoy watching their dynamic, even when they fight, just because they are so natural together. I don’t think April is necessarily bad for Luke’s character development but I do not buy at all that Luke would want to bar April from at least meeting Lorelei.
Like before April shows up we see how Luke truly admires and loves Lorelei, like he would do anything for her and they’re literally engaged so why wouldn’t he want April to meet his fiancé? Even if they breakup I don’t see how it would really affect April in the long run because Lorelei wouldn’t be in a parenting role at all. Also Lorelei and Luke are already are familiar with this dynamic with Lorelei having Rory. Luke has been there for Rory but also knows his place and respects Lorelei’s authority with Rory (unlike max) so why would he be so weirded out about the roles reversing? I feel like they missed an opportunity where Luke could be vulnerable and lean on Lorelei for advice about being a parent.
She didn’t have to be around April in the beginning but what is the true harm of April knowing of her existence and being around her sometimes?
If I had it my way, Luke and Lorelei would have their bumps that they have to work through but their relationship wouldn’t be the core drama. Maybe they focus on Luke adjusting with fatherhood and it creates some stress but it makes Luke and Lorelei stronger because they communicate through it. Like I feel like there was more interesting ways to create drama without jeopardizing their relationship every two seconds due to miscommunication because their dynamic is so sweet and fun to watch when it’s good and I just wish they let it just be sweet and focus drama elsewhere.
