2024.06.02 09:18 romaki PSA: staff unfreezes banned accounts

After a discussion on PC I sent in a ticket to get my banned account back and they actually unfroze it.
For the record, the account was banned about 7-10 years ago, maybe even more. At the time I used a cheat to help me get game avatars and got the ban hammer immediately. Now the ban message said "frozen for scamming other users out of NP or items", I assume that's just the general "cheat" message but I explained in my ticket how that was not the case and what actually happened. The response was just "I unfroze your account, have fun playing!", either they removed some avatars and most (not all) trophies or I'm confusing accounts.
But either way I got a "banned for cheating" account unfrozen yesterday and I wanted to let you guys know that the new staff might give you a second chance if you ask for it.

2024.06.02 09:17 Melodic_Reflection85 I finally snapped at my (23F) narcissistic ex (27M). Did I overreact and how do I move on?

My ex (27M) and I (23F) have had a very toxic on and off friends with benefits thing that has been going on for 4 years. We officially dated for 2 months last year but he went overseas and cheated on me and I broke up with him. When he came back in Feb we started seeing each other again.
I've told him that I am not interested in a fwb situation, I want a relationship and only want to continue having sex if we're going to officially date and him commit to me because I obviously liked him and couldn't handle the uncertainty of being used anymore. He said he doesn't want this. Despite setting this boundary, he has continued to initiate sex with me and coerce me into doing sexual stuff after me saying no countless times - which is practically sexual assault. Along with this he's been going out at night with countless other girls, watching movies with them in his bed and posting pictures of their 'dates' on his instagram story to show off to his friends that he has 5+ girls around him at any given time. He never posted me (he claims this is my fault because I've told my friends what he has done to me in the past).
He invited me as a plus 1 to his housemate's bday party last night and his housemate and all his friends are polyamorous. They asked him if he was also polyamorous too and he said he was open to it? in front of me? He later said he only meant open minded to the idea of other people being poly but I think he was just trying to cover up what he said. His female housemate was also there and he put her lip gloss on? also in front of me which I thought was a bit inappropriate.
After being called a child for being mad about the above two things - we went to a light show tunnel and half way through he disappeared with this female housemate to take pictures, she was taking pics of him, he was taking pics of her and I was standing there alone awkwardly on the side as I knew no one else at the party. This went on for about 5-10 minutes so I just walked up and when he finally did acknowledge my existence again I told him to f off and kind of blew up at him. I had a few drinks so I think I wasn't as good at concealing my true feelings as I usually am and on top of everything else that's been happening I think I just snapped. I went home alone and sent him texts calling him a lot of names. I'm usually pretty composed when I tell him why I'm upset but not this time and I finally got the courage to block his number.
Do you think I overreacted/made a bigger deal of it like he said I did? If it was with a guy who hadn't cheated and didn't have the history we had I don't think I would have freaked out but on top of everything else I just lost it. How can I build back my trust in men so I'm not paranoid that they're all going to cheat on me and use me for sex?
TLDR: I finally snapped at my (23F) narc ex (27M) whilst drunk and ended things in a dramatic blow up. Did I overreact? How do I trust men again?

2024.06.02 09:15 AccurateCall6829 How can I (F28) convince my partner (M27) that I’m not cheating on him?

My (28F) partner (27M) is a wonderful person with a good heart. He’s also quite emotionally intelligent, more so than most other guys I’ve met his age, and I really like that about him.
He is unfortunately also very insecure, which I put down to some childhood stuff and probably past relationships. He really seems to think I am going to cheat on him at the drop of a hat. I have never come close to cheating on him or considered it. I have no interest in it. But he is constantly looking for evidence that’s it happening, or questioning minor actions of mine that he considers suspicious. He is currently overseas for work for 6 months so I think this is making his anxiety about it worse.
I don’t go out drinking very much at all. Most of my friends are in long-term stable relationships. I don’t have dating apps on my phone and I have always been happy for him to look at my messages (it’s so bland I’m almost embarrassed). I work extremely long hours and am currently living away from home in a regional area for work.
I do have plenty of male friends, but I always have, and these people are either married, people I’ve known for a decade or ex-housemates or the likes. If there was any desire to explore things romantically or sexually with them, it would have already happened. There is not, never has been and never will be. I don’t hang out with my male friends very often, and if I do I’m not secretive about it. He knows about all of them, but hasn’t met them - I am keen for him to when all our schedules align.
He’s not a controlling partner in any other respect. I want to know how I can make him feel secure about the cheating thing. I think I tell him I love him enough, and I feel like I show my love as best as I can - I’m not the warmest person, but I’m not super cold either. I have also talked to him about it and assured him I would talk to him if I was having issues with the relationship before anything like cheating. Obviously when it comes to not cheating, saying “I’m not cheating!” is not really helpful.
It’s actually doing my head in and it’s kind of insulting that he doesn’t trust me. So how can I get him to chill tf and trust me?

2024.06.02 09:12 Maatjer How to Address My (23M) Relationship Doubts Due to My Girlfriend’s (32F) Past Infidelity?

Hey,
I met my girlfriend three months ago, and it’s been tons of fun. However, I have some insecurities and doubts about our relationship that I need to address. Since I’m new to dating and this is my first relationship, I wanted to write it down and get some feedback.
For context, I’m 25 years old, and my girlfriend is 32. We’re in a long-distance relationship. She’s had relationships before, but not in the past five years. In one of her past relationships, she cheated three times with different guys during one-night stands. When I asked her about it, she said she was in a happy relationship but was drunk when it happened. She mentioned that she felt sorry for the guy she cheated on but didn’t fully regret her decisions.
I would appreciate any advice or feedback on how to approach this situation and communicate my feelings effectively.
This is the text message I want to sent her:
—————
“I need to share some things that have been weighing on my mind. I believe that loyalty is incredibly important in a relationship, and it’s hard for me to date someone who has cheated in the past. What makes it even more challenging is when there doesn’t seem to be regret for that behavior. Without regret, how can I be sure it won’t happen again?
I wouldn’t be as worried about this if I felt reassured about your commitment to us. When I asked about being exclusive, your response of “yeah, for now” left me feeling uncertain. Why couldn’t it be a definite “yes, of course”?
I understand that you left past relationships because you wanted to be alone. While I respect your need for personal space, it also makes me feel uneasy about our future. It’s hard for me to feel confident in our relationship when there is this pattern.
Another thing that’s been on my mind is that during the three weeks I spent in in your hometown, we didn’t have any sex together, which has been bothering me. You’ve shared that you’ve been with about 10 guys, including 3 strangers before me and that you enjoy sex, so it’s confusing for me that we didn’t share that connection. This has made me feel a bit uncertain about our relationship.
I want us to have an open and honest conversation about these things because I care about you and our future together.”
—————
Fell free to ask for any more information! Thanks.

How To Keep A Conversation Going With A Girl Over Text (9 Tips)
https://preview.redd.it/lplxt6x4z34d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a56e3b47ff046793ee88af85efa9c4046834f211
Keeping a conversation flowing smoothly over text can sometimes feel like a daunting task, but with the right strategies, you can make your conversations engaging and enjoyable. In this guide, we'll walk you through 9 tips for keeping a conversation going over text with a girl. If you want to take your text game to the next level and ensure your conversations lead to real-life dates and more, check out Magnetic Messaging. It's a complete guide to mastering texting, even if you've only just met her. You can get Magnetic Messaging here.

1. Ask Open-Ended Questions

To avoid dead-end conversations, steer clear of yes/no questions. Open-ended questions encourage more detailed responses and keep the dialogue flowing. Instead of asking, "Did you have a good day?" try, "What was the best part of your day?" This invites her to share more about her experiences and keeps the conversation lively​ .

2. Listen and Respond to Her Cues

Pay attention to the topics she brings up and use them to guide your conversation. If she mentions being busy with work, ask her about her job or a recent project. Showing that you listen and care about what she says will make her feel appreciated and more engaged in the conversation​.

3. Use Humor and Light-Hearted Topics

Humor is a great way to keep the conversation enjoyable. Share funny anecdotes, jokes, or memes that relate to your conversation. Keeping the tone light-hearted helps prevent the discussion from becoming too serious or dull.

4. Compliment Sincerely

Offer genuine compliments, but don't overdo it. Compliments about her personality or achievements can be very impactful. For example, "I love how passionate you are about your work," is likely to be appreciated more than generic compliments about her appearance.

5. Share About Yourself

Conversations are a two-way street. Share your own stories and experiences to keep the dialogue balanced. This not only keeps the conversation going but also helps her get to know you better. For instance, if she talks about a hobby, share a related experience you had.

6. Be Present and Engaged

Show genuine interest in what she’s saying. Avoid distractions and focus on her messages. Ask follow-up questions based on her responses to show that you’re truly engaged in the conversation.

7. Use Emojis and GIFs Wisely

Emojis and GIFs can add a fun and expressive element to your texts, but use them sparingly to avoid coming off as immature. They can help convey your tone and keep the conversation light and playful​.

8. Know When to Call Instead

Sometimes, a topic might be too complex or sensitive for texting. In such cases, suggest a phone call. This can make the conversation feel more personal and help avoid misunderstandings that can occur over text​.

9. End on a High Note

When it’s time to end the conversation, do so on a positive note. Express that you enjoyed the chat and look forward to talking again. For example, "I’ve got to run, but I’ve really enjoyed chatting with you. Let’s catch up again soon!" This leaves a good impression and sets the stage for future conversations​.
By following these tips, you can keep your text conversations engaging and enjoyable. Remember, the key is to be genuine, attentive, and fun.

2024.06.02 09:11 WoodpeckerOk160 Should I do anything further about this situation?

2 years ago I reached out to a guy on Facebook who was advertising a place to rent. It didn't fit and that was the end of that conversation.
Later he reaches out after seeing me join a Facebook Dating Group for this area. He sees a d reached out asking me on a date to his house BUT adds "and possibly hook up" at the end. That line completely left me in disgust, so I declined.
He kept sending me messages for a few months and I ignored all them.
Tonight at 1am he sends "come over," which made me mad. I texted back
"I'm not interested in hooking up."
He says what if we continued or did FaceTime to get comfortable or if I took control over him and ends it with "try me."
I send back because at this point I'm in disbelief over this man's massages and say:
"I am not driving to a Facebook strangers' house at 1am"
He says I can "come there to vibe me out then leave no harm no foul"
I send back "you are a Facebook stranger." Talking to this grown man with kids like he a toddler.
He says he is normal and "aren't you curious? I'm interested in unleashing you with your possible inexperience" 🤢
I send back "No I contacted you 2 years ago about a place to rent not for sex"
And he says "I understand" finally.
I then blocked him.
Do I need to do anything else? Is that exchange a reporting offense?

2024.06.02 09:11 A_Nasty_Mind__ Have you ever had a Coldsore on your lips? 🔥👄

I am a young gay Top with a Serious fetish for men with Coldsores. I never get Coldsores myself & have even tested negative for the Herpes Simplex 1 / HSV1 virus (the virus that causes coldsores) but I have always had a fantasy of having a man with a coldsore on his lip perform Oral Sex on me & infect my Penis with his coldsore virus while i'm sniffing on a fresh bottle of Poppers. I REALLY LOVE HAVING MY PENIS SUCKED TOO but also to know that the coldsores on my penis came from his mouth have always aroused me. Like a slight common nussiance for him would be a dirty secret for me & the fact that a guy can infect me with an STD without taking his clothes off (he could even be a virgin himself!)
  1. Have you ever had a coldsore on your lip?
  2. if so, How long have you been getting them?
  3. Do you like sucking penis?
  4. Have you ever passed on your coldsore to another man's penis?
  5. How often do you get coldsores?
  6. Where on your lips do you usually get them?
I haven't lived out my Coldsore sex fantasy yet, but I'm looking for a guy who gets coldsores a lot to keep in touch with... who knows where it'll end up leading.... (you don't have to show me your face ever, just your lips...)

2024.06.02 09:07 Umitsbooboo Success Story!!!!

Successor : u/Typical-Foundation94
GUYS...I did it, it finally happened for me.This is going to be such a long post but I promise you it's worth it.
First of all thank you admins for deleting my post a few months ago, thank God I don't have it saved anywhere to see how pathetic I was probably.
Background:
I met this guy after a terrible break up from a long term relationship and he was everything I ever wanted. Actually, I know I manifested him to start with because I was imagining us together and I just "had a feeling" he was into me even when I was in the long term relationship (towards the end of it).
He was crazy about me just as I imagined. Until he wasn't. I started being all paranoid and insecure that him moving cities will be the end of us and no matter what he would tell me I just knew that we weren't going to last. I was heart broken when he actually told me he can't carry on and that maybe we can cross paths again in the future but he had too much in his life at the time (I don't want to go into detail but to be honest, if I was him, in those given circumstances, I would have said bye too, especially when my mind did this).
Anyway, the break up happened. I was literally devastated. Not because I loved him, I did have feelings for him, but we only dated for a few months. But because I wanted it to be him so badly. When we started dating, I told myself, he will be my husband, no matter what he is the one. So I stuck with that.
As embarrassed as I am to admit, I went all crazy into psychic readings and ended up in so much debt from taking on loans to get the most expensive readings. I would probably do 10-15 readings a day. Spells too, of course. We all know that level of desperation...it was bad. I cringe looking back at myself. I would do all possible spells and mantras I found on tiktok and scripting and everything. Nothing was working!!! I did that for 4 months. YUCKS, I KNOW. It drained me. However, I know for a fact he "would come back". I knew this from the moment he can't do this anymore. Because one thing about me, they ALL come back and I never lose, ever. I am stubborn as shit. So I knew I had to do anything to get this man. But again nothing was working..all the psychics telling me he'd be back by this date got it all wrong. I still had hope until I lost it all.
Around January-February I came across this community and I began reading it like desperate. I found Neville Goddard. I read it all. I started binge watching all the youtube videos, Sammy Ingram, Roxy, Joseph Alai, Missy Renee, Amanda from Create your Future. I watched it all!!! But that was all I was doing it I was watching it. I did not apply shit.
End of February I decide to get coaching with Sammy Ingram (really don't recommend it at all..huge waste of money and it was nothing like I expected it). She gave me a list of affirmations so I started affirming all day everyday. Somehow, things started moving a bit and I was gaining confidence. But it wasn't enough. I was saying those affirmations like I was trying to change something outside of me, it was all so so exhausting. 1st of April we meet face to face for the first time since the break up and I was so so confident I am on the right path. We met at work but he was lovely, I could see he kept trying to gain my attention and he was complimenting me. Then it stopped. I spiraled badly, I gave up sooooo many times but somehow still persisted. What was I doing wrong? why did all these people get their SP but I can't seem to get shit.
April was pretty bad - I kept pushing through though. Not a single day I stopped affirming and believing that although I feel like absolute crap, this will work and I will get what I want, sometime in the future. But boy, it was a journey!!!!
May-June I started talking to a different guy and he was literally parotting all my affirmations back to me. Everything I wanted SP to tell me I was getting it from him. I was so frustrated. He was an amazing guy, but he was not my SP. I even thought giving up on SP and taking the new guy seriously but no, that was not my end goal. I still did not understand why was this new one telling me I would be an amazing wife, I am stunning, I am so confident, he hasn't met anyone like me, he wanted to spend all his time with me, literally everything I wanted SP to do/say.
Throughout all this time, actually mostly from May onwards I kept testing the law, with small things, just to build my confidence. From manifesting avocado to show up in my fridge (yeah I know, but I needed something weird), to a pay rise (stupidly I manifested the exact amount, had I known I would have gone 10k more LOL), changing friends' minds, a free manifesting session with one of the coaches from Create your Future, etc. I needed something to make me feel I am truly God. So I thought, let me do what I know best, get my insecurities in the way of a relationship. I started telling myself that things with the new guy are going too well, that he isn't interested, that he feels there is something missing.
That's when I knew...I did it. A week later he ghosted me, for a day. So my thoughts created. I text him and he replies saying he just isn't sure of where things are going and we might be better off as friends. I read his text and I said "oh no darling, you are so gutted this is ending, you don't know what you are saying", so he replies back to my text saying he actually feels pretty sad this is ending because he really had high hopes and could see this going somewhere. It was at this moment, I knew it. We stayed friends though, I am happy to have him in my life as a friend, I never wanted anything more long term anyway.
But it was not enough. By this time, I was feeling my affirmations natural to me. I could feel I am truly the love of my SP's life, I could feel I am the only one he wants. But it was all "going to happen in the future". I didn't feel comfortable with that but it was somehow ok.
Beginning of July I get really drunk and I text SP. I thought about texting him for weeks before but I was stubborn and didn't want to do it. I didn't do it from a place of lack. I did it from a place of "whatever, I don't even care if he doesn't respond or what he thinks, I just know his heart will skip a beat when he'll see my text". I simply could not understand why I did not have any anxiety or fears and trust me it was not just the alcohol. I just wanted to do it and didn't think about it twice again. I texted him really late at night saying "I miss you". I got so drunk I completely forgot I texted him but oh well I woke up the next morning with a text from him saying he misses me too. I mean...I knew it, I wasn't shocked or anything. The conversation keeps flowing and flowing with him texting me instantly and telling me he got really drunk too and that I deserve the world and he can't come any close to that and he loved everything we ever had and it was so hard to let it go. I got annoyed and I said oh whatever pretend it never happened then. He then turned around and said he doesn't want to pretend it didn't happen, he misses me too but he is scared of us getting hurt because of the distance. So I then just played it cool.
That's when I started spiraling again. It was HELL. I thought none of it worked, all my time was wasted, all I ever did and prayed and affirmed was in vain. He proposes we meet the next time he comes down and speak about it in person and he kept saying I don't seem to care about us. I replied and said yeah ofc let's do a drink. Left of delivered. For 2 weeks.
Not a single day I stopped affirming. Then one day, I let myself cry my eyes out. One thing during all these months, since the break up, I did not let myself feel anything or cry. I refused to be weak or to acknowledge any fears. So I looked up in the mirror and I let the tears roll, I was screaming how I need to let it all out and get back on the train now or never, I kept telling myself I never lose. I decided to go back to Neville. I read Feeling is The Secret again. I read it again and again and again. IT CLICKED - IT FINALLY CLICKED FOR ME. Guys, when Neville says there is no one to change but self, I wish I was better at explaining stuff, but please only take this and let it marinate. You are not changing your SP with your affirmations, you are changing you. I realised ALL these months what I was doing was thinking OF my desire, instead of thinking FROM my desire. I knew my desire was a promise to me but something was missing. I started affirming as if I was already in the most beautiful relationship ever with SP. It felt SO natural!!!!
I had a vivid dream one night after trying to do SATS (I could never do it, until that night, when I fell asleep as if I was already his girlfriend, because in my mind, I was, and what other reality is there than the one I create?!) and he came up to me from behind kissing my neck and telling me "what, you thought I would let you go again this time?". GUYS it felt so real...the kiss, his words, everything. I had never had a dream about him before and I always had this belief, that once you dream about them...they are on their way back to you.
I was still on delivered though...I didn't care. In my mind, I was with him for a year, having the best relationship ever, being loved, cared for, cherished, etc.
He texts back and we meet up, finally. WORD BY WORD...everything I have been affirming all these months. How proud he is of me, how stunning I am, how I am the only woman he wants to be with, how he doesn't care about the distance and wants to be with me, how he never had this connection with anyone else.
I DID IT.
Did I think it was possible? HELL YES. Did I doubt? HELL YES. Not that I would have it though, but when. Time was my biggest issue here. I was a slave to the time.
When it clicked for me, it all unfolded naturally. I realised after so long my desire is not separate from me. I don't affirm to get him back to me, I affirm to CHANGE MYSELF and become the version of me that has that relationship. I read this probably 10,000 times, I never got it, until it all clicked. I could have had it anytime, I was the only one delaying it.
GUYS PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP! please go back to Neville and get off the forums, get off youtube, and do the work. Once you do the work and follow Neville, it is inevitable. You are your desire. You can have your SP anytime you want now. Feel like you are with your SP now, live your life as if you had your SP on their knees in front of you yesterday. Live from that scene, don't think of it!!!
Please try this even for a few days, it will change your life. Never doubt the law, it works.

How To Text A Girl You Like - 9 Key Tips And Strategies!
https://preview.redd.it/7fy4l9xvx34d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82e79975c0778dbcb14086a3f64879bdf9826e19
Texting a girl you like can feel like navigating a minefield, but with the right approach, you can create engaging and meaningful conversations that capture her interest. In this guide, we're going to walk you through 9 tips to texting a girl you like. If you want to dive deeper and truly master your text game, Magnetic Messaging offers a complete guide to getting a girl out on a date and into bed using texting—even if you've only just met her. You can get the complete guide here.

1. Use Her Name

Using her name in your texts makes your messages feel personal and shows that you're paying attention to her. Avoid using pet names too early; stick to her actual name until you've established a deeper connection. For example, instead of saying "Hey baby," say "Hey [her name], how was your day?" This creates a more genuine and respectful tone​.

2. Start with a Strong Opener

Your first text should be engaging and memorable. Reference something funny or interesting that happened when you met. For instance, "Hey [her name], I had a great time meeting you at the party. You made the night a lot more fun!" This helps her remember you and sets a positive tone for the conversation.

3. Balance Questions with Statements

While asking questions shows interest, too many can make the conversation feel like an interrogation. Mix in statements about yourself to keep the conversation balanced. For example, "I had a great workout today, what did you get up to?" This invites her to share without feeling pressured​.

4. Keep It Positive

Avoid complaining or bringing negativity into your texts. Instead, share positive experiences and ask about things that make her happy. For instance, send a cute pet photo or talk about something fun you did recently. Keeping the conversation light and positive will make her enjoy texting you more.

5. Use Emojis and Voice Notes Wisely

Emojis can help convey emotions that might be lost in text. However, use them sparingly to avoid coming off as childish. Voice notes can add a personal touch, making your communication feel more intimate and authentic. For example, a voice note saying, "Hey, just wanted to hear how your day went!" can be more impactful than a text​.

6. Avoid Over-Texting

Texting too frequently can make you seem needy or overly eager. Let the conversation flow naturally and give her space to miss you. If she doesn't respond immediately, don’t bombard her with follow-up messages. It's important to respect her time and pace.

7. Compliment Her Thoughtfully

Compliments should feel genuine and not overdone. Focus on her personality or something unique about her rather than just her looks. For instance, "I love how passionate you are about your hobbies, it's really inspiring," can make her feel valued and appreciated.

8. Mirror Her Texting Style

Pay attention to how she texts and try to match her style. If she uses a lot of emojis, feel free to include a few in your messages. If she responds quickly, try to do the same. Mirroring her texting style shows that you’re in sync and makes the conversation flow more naturally.

9. Leave Her Wanting More

End conversations on a high note. This makes her look forward to your next interaction. For example, if the conversation is starting to dwindle, you could say, "I’ve got to run, but I’ll catch up with you later. Have a great day!" This leaves her with a positive impression and anticipation for your next chat.
By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to mastering the art of texting a girl you like. Remember, the key is to be genuine, respectful, and engaging. For a deeper dive into crafting the perfect text game that can lead to a date and beyond, check out Magnetic Messaging. It's a comprehensive guide that can help you transform your texting approach.

2024.06.02 09:05 StunningWeekend Long-Time iPhone User After 72 hours With Android (Pixel 8 then Samsung S24 Ultra) - My Reflections So Far

(Note: I posted this on Android but I wasn't sure if I did something incorrect because it was removed by the bot immediately, and I don't know how to get it approved. So... if you see it there too, then it must have gotten approved at some point and that's why. Just trying to find a home for this discussion and I promise I'm not trying to spam!)
After a decade with iPhone, curiosity finally got the better of me and I made the switch to Android. My trusty iPhone 13 Mini is still there just in case, but I really do hope to sell it soon. I wanted to document my journey over the last 72 hours with Android in case it helps someone else sitting on the margin just looking to dive in.
These 10 things are simply my opinions and reflections! I'm sure my feelings will continue to evolve, but here's where I'm at after 3 days. As I started typing, I did not expect this to be so long, but I had so many things floating through my head. Sorry for the long read and I'd love to hear others who have made similar changes.
1. Sloppy first impressions: I started with a Pixel 8. Got it for $390, in like new condition during eBay's memorial day sale, and just couldn't pass up that deal. The look of the phone never really attracted me before, but after a few hours it really grew on me. However, I really started to get annoyed at the experience and polish. For example, I had a lot of screens where the text was cut off or folders where the text was cut off. There were system pop-ups where I was expected to approve something that disappeared within a second before I could even read it - was it approved or was it declined?! But what really was upsetting was that there's no way to sort notifications by time. The phone would beep and then I'd have to spend a few seconds trying to figure out what the heck the notification was amidst the long list. Half the time, the time stamp doesn't even show and I'm left wondering if I missed something. This was exacerbated when I started not receiving notifications I would expect, because my iPhone (which was still on WiFi only mode) was getting notifications for new Gmail messages for example, and the Pixel just stayed quiet. That was unacceptable and I decided to return the phone.
However, my significant other has a Samsung, and she mentioned never having these issues so I stuck it out and tried again. This time, I figured - go big or go home - and I got the Samsung S24 Ultra.
2. Much better second try: I read a lot of bad experiences about the UI of Samsung coming into this, but frankly it's a lot more polished than the Pixel. It's like there's a nice coat of paint over all the underlying workings and as an iPhone user, I appreciate that. Everything looks great and while I've been toying with some of the themes in the Galaxy store, I have gone back to the normal One UI each time.
3. Smart Switch works great. It took about an hour to transfer all my settings and applications over to the Samsung. The only thing that took a little bit of figuring out was how to get 25K+ iCloud backed up photos onto this phone. Fortunately, there's an official Apple method for transferring iCloud files to Google Photos, and I initiated that. It's still not done but assuming this goes to plan, the transfer process wasn't that bad at all. I pretty much plopped my iPhone sim card into the Android, spent an hour waiting, and then all my old applications, wallpapers, and even placement of icons was there. Then, I just spent about half an hour signing into everything that I needed to (1Password is hugely helpful!) and I'm off to the races.
4. Settings galore: I am not used to this many settings! It seems I am approving or declining permissions all day long. I have multiple Gmail accounts setup, and I have to go in and adjust each account's notification setting when I just want all of my Gmail messages to have the same setting. I thought I would like this level of customization but it's been a little frustrating finding everything, or trying to figure out what I'm even approving. I find myself on YouTube looking for videos for how to change things such as the lock screen shortcuts. I am hoping that once I get through this initial difficulty, then I'll be cruising. And the biggest thing - Samsung lets me sort notifications in chronological order! That's huge (for me).
5. Navigation bars on top. Why?: I had a small iPhone Mini so one-handed navigation was never a real challenge but I still appreciated how all the menu bars (Facebook, Safari, etc.) were on the bottom of the phone. It made navigation really easy. With all the customization I mentioned in #3, I just assumed this would be an easy fix on Android and I'd be able to change this for any app. I was wrong! Other than Firefox, I have not figured out how to do this in Chrome or Facebook (as an example). I really do not understand why the iPhone version of Facebook would have this on the bottom but the Android version would have it on the top! For a phone as big as the S24U, that would've been a really nice option.
6. PhoneLink is pretty good: I had gotten rid of my Macbook a long time ago. I basically live on my Phone and also have an iPad for when I need a bigger screen and a Windows desktop for professional work. Integration b/w devices was never a big deal to me but I put I setup Phone Link and it's been pretty good. I don't have any real complaints so far - I can transfer files and get all my notifications and respond directly from my computer.
7. Dex is really cool but also buggy: The dream of having only to carry around my phone and never having to open up a laptop, tablet or desktop would be amazing. This phone is definitely powerful enough for the applications I use for work - Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc. But Dex has some weird quirks that make it a little unreliable. For example, every time I open up an image in Gallery on Dex, the screen goes black for a few seconds before coming back on. Close the picture? Same thing! The cursor scroll just isn't as smooth as on my Desktop machine where I can customize the DPI settings exactly on the Logitech app. These are small things but build up into a less than perfect experience. But when it works, it works great and it's so close to a dream realized.
8. Face unlock is pretty bad, and the fingerprint reader can be hit or miss: FaceID on iPhone was a pleasure to use, except when it's not - i.e., I'm lying in bed. But for most situations, it works pretty good. For those moments I do wish I had a fingerprint reader so it's really nice to have that on the Samsung. But with that said, the Face unlock is horrendously bad. It works about 3/4 of the time in good light and then never in low light. I think the fingerprint reader is 80% successful on the first try for me but that's still lower than I think it should be. Perhaps I should re-register my finger. (Also, what's up with the super bright fingerprint reader on the Pixel 8? I feel like I was staring at the sun every time went to activate it! That said, it does feel like the Pixel's face unlock is better than Samsung). And on the topic of security, I think one of the biggest things I miss is Apple Pay. Some of my favorite go-to restaurants locally let me order online and pay directly using Apple Pay. Now I have to memorize my credit card number....
9. This thing is super powerful. I think people who choose Android chose it for two primary reasons: customization (which I mention in #2 and #3) and power to be productive. It has been very cool to be able to export files from one app directly into another app, edit it there, and save it as a file and then transfer it to my desktop. On iPhone, it was never a certainty which applications I'd be able to import files directly into but on Samsung it seems everything is available. There's always a workaround or solution or a method to doing something and that's been pretty cool. The Snapdragon processor is quick and the screen is beautiful. It's a great media consumption device and I hope it continues to be as snappy as it is now, because 7 years of updates is a very long time!
10. But the size of this phone is kinda insane. Especially coming from an iPhone mini, this thing is so big! It literally does even fit in my pockets when I am sitting and I've had it slide out a couple times onto the floor already because so much physically hangs out of my pants when seated. If Samsung made a smaller Ultra version of the phone in the same size as the S24, then that would be perfect (kinda like how Apple has the Pro and Pro Max). I think if there's a reason I end up going back to iPhone, it's because of the size of this thing. I want something as powerful as the Ultra but in a smaller package, and I haven't found another company that makes something like that. I don't have a case yet and maybe a more textured case will resolve this.
I'll keep this experiment going as I want to make a real effort to switch. Looking forward to continued learning!

2024.06.02 09:03 bellabananas12 What should I do??

I’ve been dating my girlfriend for a year and half. She’s Bi and has never dated a girl before me. There’s been a lot of ups and downs and we are also going through college together. She likes to party a lot and I don’t. I feel like i need a lot of reassurance and it’s a lot on her. Well I know it is because she brought up taking a break and we worked out a system without taking a break just texting less to have lives outside of our relationship. I don’t know why but I can’t stop thinking about how she wanted a break because it’s something no matter how hard I never would want but I understand. I just want things the way they were, but I feel like i’m too clingy and had a hard time with trust when it came to her always partying with her friends and random guys. I know it’s an insecurity I’m just wondering how to save my relationship because it’s just been me putting in the effort to text and hangout really. I know she still loves me but things feel different and I’d do anything to change

2024.06.02 09:03 Maggielove22 How do I ask my friend to change their behavior?

This is going to sound douchy. I am ok with that.
I have a super annoying friend. She lives and breathes Anime. She's admitted to being "feral" (idk what that means) about anime men. She talks like a Reddit nice guy. Think "Heh...I guess I deserve it." The other day, she patted me on the head and called me a "lil' bean." She's somehow millennial and tragically online at the same time. I dread being in the same room with her sometimes. But other times, she's amazing. The life of the party. Kind, compassionate, smart, resourceful, and hard-working. She's admirable. Sometimes.
I need her to change her behavior. She consistently texts my friend GC about hating herself, wanting to d1e, wanting other people to suffer, etc. I know that sounds bad, but I comfort her every time. I am there for her when she needs it, and I lift her when she hits rock bottom. I try to be her rock. I know what it's like to be trapped in a cycle of being depressed and being happy. It's rough, and I don't want anyone else to experience that. But I can't deal with it anymore. It triggers my bad/intrusive thoughts and my depression, and it makes me genuinely uncomfortable. Some of the things she says about other people, or what she wants to do to other people, are genuinely horrifying, and I don't know how to deal with them. Whenever someone brings up that it makes them uncomfortable, she spirals back down into thinking she's a horrible person, that she deserves to d1e, and that other people around her deserve to d1e and suffer. I don't want to make her feel like that, I love her too much. I want to tell her as gently as possible, but I don't want to hurt her.
She also makes hurtful comments about Autism. I have Autism. She probably has Autism. On my birthday last year, I mentioned her being Autistic. She immediately got defensive, and eventually ended up saying "If I was autistic, I would hate myself". Ever since then, she's gotten comfortable saying she "doesn't want to be autistic", that she would "intentionally change her test answers on a test to avoid being diagnosed", and that "being diagnosed as autistic would be a curse." I don't care if she feels that way. But I used to feel that way. And it triggers something in me when she says stuff like that. But, again, if I tell her those comments make me very uncomfortable, she would spiral.
TLDR: I don't know how to address any issue I have with my 18F friend, because she spirals into depression and self-hatred whenever someone tries to tell her that she's making them uncomfortable.
Someone, please help, I'm not sure what to do

2024.06.02 09:00 Omologist What is Storytelling in Marketing?

What is Storytelling in Marketing?
What is Storytelling in Marketing?
Understanding Storytelling in Marketing
Storytelling in marketing is a powerful tool that leverages the art of narrative to convey a message, stir emotions, and build a connection between the brand and its customers. It is through these stories that brands can differentiate themselves and foster loyalty.
The Role of Narrative in Brand Messaging
The narrative forms the backbone of marketing storytelling, providing a framework for conveying the brand's message in an engaging and memorable way. A well-crafted narrative gives context to the brand's offerings and helps consumers understand the values and visions behind the brand. The brand narrative should be consistent across all platforms, reinforcing its persona and helping it stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Building Emotional Connections with Customers
Emotional connection is paramount in ensuring that the brand's message resonates with the audience on a deeper level. Through storytelling, a brand can tap into emotions, fostering a sense of authenticity and trust. This connection can turn passive consumers into active brand advocates, amplifying engagement and strengthening customer loyalty.
Components of a Compelling Brand Story
A compelling brand story is constructed of several key components:
Authenticity: The story must reflect the brand's core values and mission.
Relevance: It should align with the customers' interests and needs.
Emotion: Integrating themes that evoke feelings can make a story more impactful.
Simplicity: Clear, concise narratives are often more effective than intricate ones.
Structure: A solid structure with a beginning, middle, and end helps make the story coherent and complete, allowing the audience to follow the brand's journey.
By weaving these elements into a narrative, a brand can effectively articulate its message and foster emotional connections that inspire and engage the audience.
Strategies for Crafting Engaging Stories
In marketing, the ability to weave compelling stories is instrumental. A well-told story can touch on various emotions, establish memorable characters, and leverage scientific principles to remain etched in customers' memories, fostering stronger relationships and driving action.
Leveraging Emotions for Stronger Customer Relationships
To forge deeper connections with customers, marketers should focus on emotional storytelling. This involves creating narratives that resonate personally, sparking feelings like joy, trust, or anticipation. For instance, incorporating elements of suspense can keep an audience eagerly awaiting the resolution, enhancing engagement. By consistently delivering emotionally charged stories, brands can cultivate customer loyalty and strengthen relationships over time.
Using Archetypes and Characters in Marketing
Employing familiar archetypes and relatable characters allows customers to quickly identify with the story being told. Characters that embody common virtues or struggles can make the audience feel understood and represented. For example, a hero figure overcoming adversity can inspire customers and evoke a strong sense of empathy. This familiarity can be a powerful tool to anchor the brand in the audience's minds.
The Science of Storytelling: Impact on Memory and Decision-Making
The science of storytelling unveils the impact well-crafted narratives have on an individual's memory and subsequent decision-making. Engaging stories are more likely to be remembered and shared, as they activate various brain parts associated with sensory experiences and emotions. When customers recall a story vividly, they're more likely to associate those positive feelings with the brand, influencing their choices. Utilizing storytelling techniques based on scientific research helps deepen marketing messages' impact.
Implementing Storytelling in Marketing Campaigns
Successful storytelling implementation in marketing campaigns hinges on strategic channel selection, cohesive narrative integration across customer interactions, and rigorous effectiveness measurement. This tactful approach ensures a brand's story resonates with the target audience and encourages action, such as service inquiries or product purchases.
Choosing the Right Marketing Channels for Your Narrative
Selecting appropriate marketing channels is crucial for disseminating a brand's narrative. One must consider where the target audience frequents and the nature of the content. For example, social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook are ideal for visually-driven stories, while blogs and content marketing may serve in-depth narratives better. Each channel's unique features and user demographics should steer the marketing mix, aligning the message with the most receptive medium.
Visual narratives: Instagram, YouTube
Text-driven stories: Blogs, LinkedIn articles
Audio storytelling: Podcasts, Spotify ads
Integrating Storytelling Across Customer Touchpoints
The user journey should match the brand's story at every touchpoint to build customer relationships and reinforce messaging. Integrating a coherent narrative from initial ads to post-purchase follow-up promotes trust and loyalty. For instance, an advertising campaign might introduce the story, which is then expanded upon during the service experience and echoed in subsequent customer support.
Initial contact: Advertising campaigns, social media teasers
Engagement: Interactive website content, customer service script
Retention: Follow-up emails, loyalty programs
Measuring the Effectiveness of Storytelling in Marketing
To assess the conversions and impact of storytelling efforts, tracking and analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) is essential. These could include social media engagement metrics, click-through rates on ads, and sales figures post-campaign. Surveys and feedback can also provide qualitative insights into how the narrative affected the target audience's perception and actions.
Engagement metrics: Likes, shares, comments
Conversion metrics: CTR, sales data
Audience perception: Surveys, testimonials
Success Stories and Case Studies
Storytelling in marketing has proven to be a powerful tool for brands like Airbnb, Nike, and Coca-Cola. Each uses narrative to create trust and foster brand loyalty. These success stories showcase the product and build an authentic brand image that resonates with consumers, often leading to increased sales and word-of-mouth promotion.
Analysis of Successful Brand Campaigns Using Storytelling
Brands often leverage narrative arcs, such as the Hero's Journey, in their campaigns to captivate their audience. An analysis of successful campaigns shows that when consumers see themselves reflected in a brand's story, they're more likely to form a personal connection with the product. This strategy turns mundane items into elements of a larger, relatable story, which audiences are prone to share with others, contributing to a brand's word-of-mouth appeal.
Impact of Authentic Storytelling on Brand Loyalty
Authentic storytelling helps in knitting a solid relationship between a brand and its consumers. When a brand's narrative is honest and transparent, it fosters trust. This trust is a crucial component of brand loyalty, as customers are more likely to return to a brand they feel understands and reflects their values. Over time, this loyalty translates into a steadfast consumer base and a competitive advantage in the market.
Case Studies: Airbnb, Nike, and Coca-Cola
Airbnb: By sharing real stories of hosts and travelers, Airbnb creates a platform where every listing tells its unique story. This personable approach transforms the concept of accommodation from a transaction to an experience, promoting the sense of a global community and belonging.
Nike: Nike's marketing often features stories of athletes who overcome adversity. These narratives inspire consumers to associate Nike with perseverance and victory, aligning the product with the very essence of sportsmanship and determination.
Coca-Cola: Coca-Cola's campaigns frequently focus on happiness and shared experience themes. By portraying their product as a catalyst for joy and human connection, they weave the brand into the fabric of personal memories and moments, thus driving emotional engagement with the beverage.
Innovations in Storytelling Marketing
Storytelling in marketing has evolved with technology to create more engaging and immersive experiences for audiences. Brands are leveraging new media trends and cutting-edge tools to convey their narratives in a way that captivates and motivates their audiences.
The Rise of AR and Immersive Experiences in Marketing
Augmented Reality (AR) has revolutionized how marketers tell stories by introducing an immersive experience that blurs the line between the digital and the physical world. Giants like Disney have adopted AR to enhance their storytelling, creating magical experiences that resonate with audiences by bringing their characters and worlds into the consumer's environment. For example, through AR apps, users can visualize products in their own space before making a purchase, giving them a unique and personalized story with the product.
Furthermore, brands like Guinness have created memorable marketing campaigns by allowing consumers to participate in stories that augment their reality, resulting in a form of word of mouth that feels organic and genuine.
Social Media Trends and Storytelling Techniques
Social media platforms have become a hotbed for innovative storytelling techniques. With platforms like Instagram, brands don't just sell products; they craft engaging stories that drive interaction and foster community. They captivate their audience by using visually-driven narratives and features such as Stories, Reels, and IGTV. Companies ensure their message resonates with their target market in the ever-competitive marketplace by employing creativity and consistency.
Use of Instagram Stories to launch a sneak peek of a new product.
Introduction of interactive content (polls, quizzes) to personalize the story.
Future of Storytelling in the Evolving Marketing Landscape
The future of storytelling in marketing depends heavily on technological advancements and consumer habits. As the digital landscape becomes more crowded, the challenge lies in creating a narrative that cuts through the noise. Brands must continue innovating and adapting to new platforms and mediums, such as virtual reality (VR) and interactive film, to keep their storytelling fresh and relevant.
Additionally, with the increasing demand for authenticity, marketers will have to craft stories that not only sell products but also create real connections with their consumers, turning them into brand ambassadors through positive experiences that are worth sharing.

2024.06.02 09:00 KPsingular My girlfriend broke up with me after seeing photos of my ex on my phone

Me and my girlfriend have been together for 1.5 years. Everything was going smoothly but one day she saw some pictures of my ex on my phone and in one of them I was kissing my ex. That is such a screw up I have done. She contacted my ex and asked her to call me. She called and asked how I am. I didn't knew what two of them had planned. So my ex talked to me n I told her that I love my girlfriend but also shared that my girlfriend is pissed because of those pictures and those pictures were there because I still miss everyone who were there in my life whether it's my childhood friend whom I don't talk to. She recorded everything and sent it to my girlfriend. My girlfriend broke up with me. Blocked me from everywhere. I tried to contact her but there was no response. I called her from another number 3 days later. She said she doesn't love me and has moved on and is going on dates. She asked me not to contact her again. I said okay and didn't contact her after that. 3 days later she messaged me asking how I am. I said okay and asked her how she is. She was furious and was saying there is no chance we are getting back together. I said okay. Later that night she sent me a screenshot showing she is wishing someone else goodnight. She said I destroyed her life and ruined everything. I said goodnight. A week later she asked my friend how I am and he told her to contact me directly. She called me and we talked for 20 minutes. Later that night I asked her if she wants to get back. If not then she shouldn't ask how I am. I realised in morning that maybe I was rude and apologised. 4 days later she again contacted my friend asking him to find a new girl for me. He told her to repair the relationship rather than replace it. She said ok. He told me to text her. I did with a brief that I hope you are okay and I believe you wanted to know if I am ok. She responded with ok. In morning she said I destroyed her life and she will remember this and god will punish me. I sent a short message with apology and said I am working on myself and said that we can talk when she is comfortable. She replied with shut up.
All the stuff that she is going on dates was a lie to test how will I respond and she wanted to see if I will reveal any secret relationship I am hiding.
She reached out yesterday with an emotional message where she was felt hurt and betrayed. She said she is all alone she couldn't take it so she texted me. I talked to her and told her that it's okay if you feel you don't wanna get back. I told her if you do we can fix things. In the end of conversation she said that I can text her whenever I feel like. In the morning I texted her that I am there for her, she is not alone. All she replied to the text was "no". She is very angry she said in her last text.
What should I do now to get her back ? Should I do no contact or should I try talking to her ?

2024.06.02 08:57 Prakash127_0_0_1 LLM doesn't include the context from the vector database, and hence the frontend gets the generic response. The second run, which includes the context, produces the desired output but doesn't reach the frontend.

I am creating a chatbot for my portfolio website. I am using Next.js, OpenAI API, Vercel AI SDK, Langchain and AstraDB.
As I hit request my route, LLM runs twice. The first run of LLM contains no context that I provided and the answer is just simple with no information of mine. But the second run contains the context I provided from the AstraDb vector database and I get what I want.
For example: I write 'who are you', the first answer is 'I am a language model AI designed to assist with answering questions and engaging in conversation. How can I help you today?' and the second answer is 'I am Prakash Banjade.........'.
But on the frontend, I get the first answer which is not relevant.
Here's my code:
// route.ts

2024.06.02 08:57 Strike_At_Karkand69 What do you think about feeling salty towards a friend who disappeared after getting into a relationship?

For context I'm a guy and it was a purely plantonic friendship. We're both 26 years old
We were great friends and she recently got into a relationship, I fully understand being infatuated with the new person, but I am just texting to check in, see how they are doing overall. Nothing harmful, inappropriate, etc.
Ignored. Girl fell off the face of the earth. The worst part is I just know she's on her phone scrolling through Tik Tok.
Kinda annoyed that they don’t even put forth the literal zero effort it takes to text a friend. Anyone else think it’s rude or is this just the way it is and I should just suck it up?
tl;dr: Friend disappeared into a relationship, I feel pretty annoyed at the zero communication

2024.06.02 08:54 Notdoinggreat1 AITA For storming out of my own party because my friend brought someone I told him not to?

Hello, this is a short situation but I just have to know if I’m the A-hole. My friend (let’s call him Mk) has another friend (let’s call him Creepy) who I’m very uncomfortable around. In the past Creep hit on, leaned on, and followed me around during our parties in the community room of our dorms while heavily intoxicated, not to mention every time without fail tried to ask fotake my vape even though I’ve told him no time and time again. He was never invited just showed up and we couldn’t kick him since it was the community room. Lately I’ve become decent friends with Mk and about three times he’s invited creep to join us in card games in my room, which I’ve caught creep staring at my ass and more. When I told Mk he was not welcomed to our events if I am the host and relaid the things he’s done he said “I don’t think any of that’s happened but ok” but then two nights later he invited him and had him apologize for the things he’s done and said “I don’t remember doing any of that and I’m not sure it actually happened but I apologize” which I did not take because it truly felt like he did not care about how I felt in that moment.
Flash forward to tonight. I spent hours prepping drinks and baking a ton of food for a Harry Potter themed party for our group. Mk asked if he could invite creep since he “apologized” and I said “I’d rather you not.” And he shrugged. An hour later he calls someone on the phone and walked out of the community room. Moments later he walked in saying “Look who I found!” And creep walks in behind him. Mk then says “Listen Op I know you don’t like him so if you wanna tell him to leave you can” I didn’t want to seem like a jerk because Mk was the only one tracking what creeps done and I didn’t like being put on the spot so I just said “fine”.
Not even ten minutes later after everything has passed on Mk says to everyone but looking at me “I don’t know why you hate him so much it’s a little ridiculous” and all I could say was “I don’t hate him just, can you drop it? It’s over let’s just have fun” and Mk says “I’m just saying you’re being silly and it’s not that big a deal”. I again asked if he could drop it and just stop continuing the conversation in which he proclaimed he wasn’t continuing anything and repeated him self once again ask why and I just got so frustrated that after hours of cooking and prepping this was the treatment I was getting, forced to hang with a creepy guy and being morally interrogated in front of all my friends. I decided to just get up and leave saying “I’m done, I can’t even have fun at my own party”
Mk messaged me saying it wasn’t that deep and I needed to come back but I’m just done, he didn’t even apologize for what he did. I’m also mad none of my friends stuck up for me by telling him to stop or even came to check on me. So AITA for storming out and refusing to come back?

2024.06.02 08:52 Illustrious-Yam-7175 How to get over something?

How do you get over ur husband lying to you when you used to be boyfriend and girlfriend. He lied about a girl texting him. He change her contact info because he said I would get mad and have a bad reaction anytime I saw a message notification from her on his phone. He says he was young and 18- didn’t know how to deal with a gf that would act jealous anytime she texted so he thought it would be better to lie. He sowed me messages nothing bad but he also was looking at her Instagram. It’s been 6yrs I still randomly think about it. I know realistically nothing happened he was with me like every other day but I think he at least had a crush on her. Im tired of bringing it up to him it’s the same argument over and over

2024.06.02 08:49 tunamomo Gweneth "Gwen" Apuli Appreciation Post (Long Thread)

Hi guys, it's your virtual bisaya Tita again. Ay charot. So, as I promised last time na I will create appreciation posts for each member not for attention, but for people to get to know the members more and share interests and reasons why I love them SO MUCH.
Let's start with Gwen.
Gwen is a essential member of BINI in my opinion. The silent type, ang taong may disgust button, one of the Poganda members, and sometimes the pinakamabilis tumatawa. Why is Gwen essential sa group? (Note: This post is not a hate but the other way around) Opkors, may mga explanation din ako.
  1. To have balance.
  2. To show a different perspective sa fans.
  3. Gwen is a type of person na her mind runs so fast that her mouth can't keep up
  4. Simple person
  5. Person who can do both.
"To have balance" - One major reason is kind of obvious. In their interviews and social media interactions, Gwen is not afraid to showcase who she really is (Like Colet but in a different way). Not all of your idols are talkative and willing to share their private lives. This group are divided into subgroups named OA and NONCHALANT. Gwen is the leader of the nonchalant group talaga. Pili lang talaga yong mga days na ang loud ni Gwen and promise mga ka cyst-ers and brawl-thers na sobrang saya ko talaga pag may videos akong nakikitang loud si Gwen. I already have a treasure box with links ni Gwen na tumatawa. Balancer si Gwen in a sense na as a member ng BINI, mare-realize mo talaga na "Ah, there are really famous people who loves the romance of silence. Just doing their job and the things that they love to do."
"To show a differnt perpective sa fans" - It's kind of related sa taas. But to expand, Gwen as an PPop idol always showcases an aura na "Oh, I have a boundary ha. Don't overcross it" which fans are willing to do so. Not until recently about dun sa recent teaser video niya. There are fans saying "Yun na yun?" or "Ba't wala pa?" Ay hala, di pala kayo close ha. These comments might not sound too negative but it can have negative impact sa perspective ni Gwen. Let's not make any unnecessary noises that can break the moral of our girls. They gave us inspiration and motivation through their songs and activities. So, let's do the same as RESPECTFUL fans.
"Gwen is a type of person na her mind runs so fast that her mouth can't keep up" - Beh, kadaming interviews na akong nakikita na umaagaw ng mic si Gwen sa members at sobrang excited siya sa isasagot niya or ishe-share niya. Pero most of the time, di niya talaga tinutuloy kung anong gusto niya sabihin. Hambebe, I still love you for being that person because it always brings me Joy. Natawa pa si Stacey one time kasi inagaw ni Gwen yung mic pero walang sinabi LOL. So, I always think, her mind or thoughts run so fast na biglang dadaan sa isip niya pero mawawala agad. What I don't want Gwen to think in those time is "Ay wag na lang di naman importante" Beh, gusto din namin marinig perspective mo. Lalo na ako na umakyat ka na sa list ng Bias ko beh. It might be stupid or foolish thoughts or answers, Beh gusto ko pa rin marinig side mo. Ay charot feeling close ko dito LOL. Pero bitaw beh.
"Simple person" - Gwen is a type of person (as how i look at it) who tends to love the simpler things around her. If she's not the main bias ng fans, that's fine. If she's not the most favorite sa group, that's alright. She gives this simple person energy talaga. I bet if nagbabakasyon yung isa sa kanila tapos nakalimutan siyang bilhan ng pasalubong, okay lang sa kanya (Pero perspective ko lang to ha) Basta, she gave that energy.
"Person who can do both" - Dito ako pinaka excited mag discuss, sa topic na to. Asan na pop corn niyo kasi ang taas talaga nito. LOL, joke. Beh, ang gwapong bata ni Gwen. And ang ganda rin. SHE CAN DO BOTH. SHE CAN BE BOTH WORLDS. Take a look at this video (Gwen walks like a poganda president) Sorry talaga sa words pero tangina talaga beh, di ko naman alam na 8 hours pala ang video na to. Di ko na nga namalayan na dinner na pala eh kaninang breakfast ko pa to tinitignan. On going pala to at may season 2 pa. Para siyang Poganda version ni Arcie Muñoz. Hatak na hatak talaga ako ni Hambebe kapag naka black tshirt at taka cap sa mga dance videos nila. Beh, hatakin mo lang ako ng hatakin. Magpapahatak naman ako. No problem LOL. Pero beh, bahala kayo jan. You're welcome sa video.
Guys, let me share something that I learned from one of the international actresses na sobrang na addict rin ako sa kanya. This works for me to separate my imagination to reality. I hope this works for you as well. She said in an interview "When somebody is talented or is doing something that you like and admire, you tend to think that the artist is the person - and I think it's very important to separate that" - Stefania Spampinato. Basically, what she meant by that is as FANS, we need to entirely separate our very own versions of our idols to their reality versions. If you write Gwen as ganito ganyan sa mga AUs niyo, or jowa niyo siya sa imagination niyo, let's not be super delulu na talaga na magagalit kapag di nag uupdate si Gwen sa inyo or nag rereply sa inyong messages personally. Again, that's very different in reality.
Let's be respectful fans. We, as fans also represents BINI. Alam ko we super love them, but let's not forget to not cross the lines. May boundaries din sila and we need to respect that para HEALTHY and relationship natin. Give and take ba. Let's be their walking Rainbow and Green flags.
I LOVE YOU POGANDA, GWEN!

2024.06.02 08:48 BRaD_237 I've kinda just made myself alone

I didn't keep any of the "friends," I made in high school really and only moved on with my ldr gf. Well we broke up shortly after and remained friends now 3 years later we haven't talked for 2 weeks. Our last big conversation was really heavy and I said things that I didn't really know was something I was ready to say. Currently I don't know where her opinion is in me, she texted a few days after like normal but I was short and it ended quickly and now I'm just left on seen on a meme I sent a day later and not the message where I was checking up on her. There's a lot of mixed emotions I'm having on this whole situation because of how complicated the past few years have been between us. I've only made one other friend who's also online but we haven't really talked because of how much school work she's doing, if that's even true, not really sure what to think. I don't really have the best social skills I've come to realize and when it comes to dating don't even get me started. I just don't really know what I'm doing, I go to bed each night unhappy because I just no longer have someone to talk to about stuff. Granted it's not like me and my friend/ex were all that close anymore, but I could at least feel something. All of this just combined with the fact that suddenly 4 years have passed since highschool and I'm not really in any better of a position.

2024.06.02 08:48 Zhencion0717 I had a dream

Dearest Amore,
So I became convinced that you might be on here. There were a couple people that I've seen on this subreddit that their words, their descriptions fit close enough to you that I had hope. They all spoke of wanting to reconnect but stated they felt like it was up to their person.
So last night as I went to bed I prayed to God and asked for a dream to tell me if I should try and reach out to you. I said if it is a dream of you needing me, or wanting to be with me then I will take that as the sign. But if it is just a dream of us hanging out then I will take that as a sign that I need to stop hoping for romantic reconnection. I pray to the judeo Christian God and I prayed to Morpheus God of sleep and dreams.
Funny enough I did have a dream. In that dream you called me up crying saying "I need you. I need you to stay on the line with me. I need to know you're there." You then proceeded to call a crisis line talking about how you feel like you're a failure, that you feel like your kids hate you, that nothing has been going right for you. All things you have told me you were worried about.
In my dream I'm rushing around looking for my car keys, I finally find them I grab them shove them in my pocket and I'm running out the door. And that is when I wake up I am halfway to standing up from my bed to run out my door for you. Because you needed me, and there was nothing that was going to stop me from being there for you.
I took that as my sign. I reached out to you today to try and talk, I didn't say it was important I don't want to use that as an aspect to "force" you to talk to me. You said okay that you would see about coming over after work, and you let me know that you were tired and running out of mental spoons so there was a chance you wouldn't be able to. I had only hoped that if that were the case you would have messaged me to let me know.
I spent an hour and a half sitting downstairs waiting for you to pull up. Then I spent 30 minutes waiting to see if I got a text, my answer was silence.
I don't know if you felt you had to say yes because if you didn't I might cause a scene. I hope you know that's never the way I would be. I love you immensely and I try to respect every request you've made. But it's been a month since you said I don't want to talk about it. I guess I was hoping that enough time had passed to allow some small conversation.
I can hope that I might receive a message from you going "oh shoot I'm sorry I'm really tired I forgot to let you know I was going home would it be okay if we talk later?" I also hope nothing is wrong with the kids but that you just needed to get home to them. I hope I still mean something to you, and that I'm worth more than just a stranger.
I do still love you, that's never going to go away, I want to wait for you to be ready. I want the future we dreamed about laying/cuddling in bed talking about what we wanted to do how we wanted to spend our life together.
I love you with everything I am.
