ECO

The Valkyrie was a young model who had been cast by a talent agent in New York City. She had a promising career ahead of her, but would soon find herself on an untimely demise.

Case File

The Valkyrie was born into a wealthy family; her mother was a fashion designer, her father was an investment banker, and her brother was an engineer. Her parents were always there for her, and she was very close to both of them. They were all very supportive of her decision to pursue acting.
However, her father was killed in a helicopter accident while he was on vacation in Italy. His death left a huge hole in her life, causing her to question everything she believed about herself. She felt like a failure, and she began to lose touch with reality.
One day, she found herself at a bar, where she made a friend named Fodder. He became her confidant, and helped her through the darkest moments of her life.
Together, they would make a name for themselves in the industry. They would go on to win awards and accolades for their work. They would be recognized as the most successful couple in Hollywood.
But then, they would part ways. The Valkyrie would move back home, and Fodder would move to Los Angeles. They never saw each other again, though they remained friends.
The story of The Valkyrie is one of love, loss, and redemption. It shows how one person can change the world, if given the chance.

ECO

The Raven was a beautiful woman. She was tall, with long, dark hair and eyes. She was kind, caring, and intelligent. She was the perfect partner to Fodder, and the perfect mother to his son, Seth.
But something happened during one of their many trips together. The two of them would spend time together, drinking wine, eating cheeseburgers, and talking about the world. They would laugh and joke around with one another. But then, one afternoon, The Raven would disappear.
Seth would search everywhere for his mother, but she would not return. The police were unable to find her. They could not locate any trace of her.
The next morning, Seth would awake to a note from his mother. She had written:

Dear Seth,
Today has been hard for me. It is so sad to see you missing your mother. But I am proud of you for standing up for what is right. You have my support. Love, Mother

Hey, I hope everyone is having a great day/night.
About me:
I am a recent college graduate I just moved back home to Los Angeles. I'm kinda nerdy but in a socially competent way. I spend my weekends playing D&D with my friends and I just got into Baldur's gate 3, but I’m always down to hang out in the real world too. My favorite shows at the moment are The Boys, Invincible, Regular Show, Adventure Time, and SnowFall. I've been wanting to rewatch Naruto too so if you haven't yet watched it or also want to rewatch it I think that'd be super fun! Eventually, I want to create my own animated TV series but right now I’m just trying to improve my animation skills. I'm trying to get into comics but I have no idea where to start so I'm always down for recs! I like skating but I'm not very good at it. I really like making Spotify blend playlists so be prepared for that. And I full-heartedly believe that oatmeal raisin cookies are a top 5 cookie.
Other Stuff:

• 6’0”
  
• 420 friendly (I'll cook/bake things for you) but no pressure.
  
• Leftist
  
• Lil anxious
  
• Monogamous
  

Who I am looking for:
I'm looking for someone to go on cute dates, participate in shenanigans, and go to concerts with! Ideally, I'm looking for someone around my age range of (21 to 25) if you are a bit older that's fine too. It'd be awesome if we already shared some common interests but if you're open to exploring new activities I am too! Not really interested in a LONG distance relationship so if you're in California that would be great. I try not to take myself too seriously so if you don't either or are cool with that I'm sure we'll get along! Physical appearance is not something I'm really concerned about – what matters most to me is that you're easygoing and enjoyable to be around.

I apologize in advance because this might be lengthy.....I 21F am deeply in love with my 22NB ex... I use ex lightly because we dated for maybe 8 months when I was 13. At the time, they used female pronouns and they were my first everything. We broke up for stupid reasons, I mean we were just kids. We never really lost contact and have always been "friends". On multiple occasions, we have sorta tried to rekindle our relationship but for various different reasons it just never worked out. Our relationship has never been platonic though, it is very obvious we are not just friends. Over the past year and a half, I have been pushing to move our relationship forward... I am so sure this is the person I want to marry and spend the rest of my life with and according to them, they feel the same way. We talk about our future together all the time, how our wedding is going to be, what kind of house we will live in, even down to how many kids we will have and what we will name them. The problem is they don't want a relationship with me right now, they state they need time to figure themselves out and heal from past relationships and trauma, etc... which I can respect. A couple of months ago I was having a horrible roommate situation and I desperately needed to move out, they happily offered for me to move into their spare bedroom and of course, I took them up on that offer, this is where everything started to get very confusing for me. We don't live like roommates or honestly even friends, we are like a couple that doesn't sleep together. We pretty much do everything together like we are dating. We go on "dates" where we hold hands, flirt, and talk to each other like a couple would. We cuddle on the couch and take naps together. They will kiss my shoulders and back and open car doors for me and pay for my dinner. We go grocery shopping together and cook dinner together. I will bring them lunch to work and do their laundry. I will come home from work and get in their bed and we will just hold each other and talk about our days and even fall asleep together. Everything just feels so natural and right, and they have even stated that. They invite me to all of their family things and we seem like a couple, even their family gets confused and questions it. And this eats me alive because at the end of the day, we aren't together.. we are just "friends." The real kicker is, that they see other people... a lot. They will take girls on dates and bring them home and stay the night with them. They will tell me all about their dates and the sex they have and even ask me to pick them up from their one-night stands. But it's okay because I am " the end game" and this is them "figuring themselves out"???? It's really starting to fuck with my head and I just feel crazy at this point. I have tried to bring up how I don't understand how this is them healing or working on themselves and somehow they just spin it all around. I feel so used at this point. I need to know, am I stupid for still believing they actually want to be with me and this is them just 'figuring themselves out"??? Lately, I have started to feel resentment for this whole situation. I feel like maybe I deserve better? I would drop anything and everything to be with them and that is clearly not the case for them. I find it so hard to understand that they are so in love with me and that I am "the only person they could see themselves marrying" and yet they don't want a relationship with me anytime soon. I want nothing more than to just be with them, and I love them so much that I just keep sucking it up and telling myself that eventually, we will be together. I have voiced that this is hurtful for me and that I don't understand any of it and again they somehow spin it around. I guess I just don't know if I am in the wrong for questioning them... is this normal? Am I being an asshole for thinking that maybe they aren't a good person for doing this to me? I love them more than anything and it would absolutely destroy me to be the one to step away from this relationship and move on, but do I deserve more? I am just so confused and emotional. I know that I should have more boundaries with this all but it's so hard. I just need outside advice because I have no one to talk to about this and I am starting to see things in a different light. I apologize if this is hard to understand but honestly I am distraught at this point. Please help.

disclaimer I’m just ranting so please don’t flag this for SH or SI content, I’m chillin lol.
Can we start a dating page on here for people with HS or something? I literally don’t know what else to do but I also don’t think I need to explain this feeling to anyone on here. I’m sure you’ll all understand, and especially those of you who, like me, suffer with really bad HS. What the hell do I do as a young woman entering their mid-late 20s now? I was with one partner for my entire adult life who also had HS. Mine went from being mild/moderate to getting progressively worse & worse while his stayed about the same. We’ve been broken up for some time now - don’t want to give too much identifying information - but he has a new relationship now and I’m sincerely struggling to cope with this. I’ve been distraught thinking about the fact that we might never reconnect in the future if things get serious with them and that now I’ll either be alone, or I’ll have to show this side of me to someone new. Frankly I don’t know which option is more terrifying.
I know some of you on here are super confident and don’t mind being intimate with people despite having HS, but I just do not have that in me. I physically cannot bring myself to try and date anyone else because I don’t want anyone else to know my body. I know good guys exist but I don’t care how good of a person someone is - no one who didn’t have this disease would look at my body and think I was sexy anymore or want to sleep with me. Doesn’t matter if I had the worlds best personality, prettiest face, or bangin body. Doesn’t matter if I had all the money in the world. Having these boils all over your most intimate areas is gross. They hurt and they smell, they just aren’t fking cute and keep getting worse. I hate my own body and wish I was somebody else every single day, so why the hell would anyone else love that if I don’t even feel that way about myself? I can’t even sit here and say that I wouldn’t hate if the roles were reversed. I’d understand if people hated me and rejected me because if I’m being so real I’d probably run for the hills too if I didn’t have HS and met someone who did. I fkin hate myself because of this disease.
I’m not perfect and definitely have my issues, but know I’m a good person who deserves love and to have a family, so it sucks. Just being a good person unfortunately doesn’t cut it these days, if it arguably ever did. It especially isn’t gonna cut it with something like HS, and that’s worse if the other person doesn’t also have it. I just feel like I would be on top of the world if I didn’t have this disease and it’s slowly rotting me from the inside out having to pretend like I am a normal person every day when I am in agony every second. I’ve been robbed of my youth and of experiences. I know I’m not a 10/10, but I’m objectively pretty f-ing cute and am for the most part content with the way I look too, apart from what’s hidden underneath my clothes. Might not have been valedictorian, but I’m highly educated and just finished my graduate/doctorate program. I’m just entering my career, am going to be making good money, and will have stability in my life in many ways other than just financially. I have a roof over my head and I still have most of my family around. I have pets and so many amazing friends who care about me around me, so I really have so much to be thankful for. It’s all overshadowed by this monster of a disease. This should be the most exciting time of my life and it’s been robbed from me entierly.
I DEEPLY feel for each and every one of you on here who might relate to what I’m saying even a little. I’m so sorry. 💔

Im from Utah County and non-Mormon, so you can see the obvious fun I have dating /S. I'm not making this a sob story; the real reason I'm posting here is that it feels a bit more personal than most dating apps. I'm a pretty cheerful, confident guy. I can be a massive smartass and yap a lot, but I can have serious conversations and value communication. So, if you need an ear, I'm game, but do expect the same in return. I tend to be out and about a lot, usually doing stupid stuff and trying not to get hurt or in trouble while doing it. Most of the time, I'm a pro, but there are quite a few stories where I fumbled, lol.
I like to work out. I mostly do calisthenics. I'm admittedly fairly skinny but decently toned. I've also taken up running, but I'm not Usain Bolt, lol. I also play video games, mostly military simulation games like Arma and OHD. I also play platformers like Mario and Sonic, with Sonic being my go-to for my neurodivergent self. I'm big into history, mostly WW2 and the Cold War, and some WW1. I'm actually working on making a Cold War-themed board game.
On top of being a nerd, I do have a sensitive side. I know some of you have probably rolled your eyes, but hey, I like to write poems, and I'm a huge flirt when I warm up to someone. I'm looking for a sweet, caring person around my age and preferably living in the USA. I'm not picky, it's more important that we click, you know?

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.

Disclaimer: THIS POST IS VERY LONG!!!
Other disclaimer: This is a post I made on a website a month ago but no one responded unfortunately. So when you read stuff like “a week ago” and see the dates don’t correlate to now, that’s why.
Background information: I had two friends, one a guy and the other a girl. We were all online friends for years, me and the guy were friends since I was in elementary school.
Starting with the guy who from here on I’ll call Blake (not his real name of course) me and Blake were the best of buds, we played the game basically every day, and regardless of our different lives and us only being online friends, I actually liked Blake a lot (as a friend). But Blake had a tendency of bullying me, which didn't bother me too much when I was younger, but as I got older, I did. For example, I told Blake one time that I failed/got held back in first grade, and he would bring that fact up whenever anything intelligence-wise come up or just bring it up out the blue. “N word, you failed the first grade” or “ok…flunky” and other variations. He would say all that…even though first grade was a million years ago (I’m a senior about to graduate high school, and I haven’t gotten held back or struggled with grades since.) (I’ve graduated high school now!). Like I'm about to graduate and he would still make fun of me with that fact, saying stuff like "you would've graduated soon if you didn't fail the first grade" and if I tried to rebuttal saying how I do well in school, he would say "well you did the first grade twice so of course you'd do better. you've done it twice".
He would constantly compare his life to mine, making fun of how I’m a virgin who never done anything with a girl, my social anxiety, me being a loner, how I don’t have as much money as him, how my parents are not as laid-back as his, how I didn’t have as much money as him, make fun of the type of girls I like, my music taste, and more.
He was controlling while we played games. He would always decide what games we played, and he would bitch and moan when I wouldn’t get onto a game he wanted to play with me despite valid reasons like it being too expensive. He would always be on his phone or just be otherwise distracted for long periods of time when we're playing, and then he would expect me to wait for him. He was especially very controlling when we play a game like R6s, he would be in my ear after he died ordering me around and telling me what to do and where to go, expecting me to get kills when I’m completely trash at the game, then he would complain heavily when I would of course die. Note: he was a frequent rage quitter and frequently switched games, which was very annoying
There is way more things he would do but if I typed them all out, I would be typing all damn day, so I’ll stop here.
Next is the girl, who I’ll refer to as Amber.
Amber was not so bad, she was annoying at times, and she would sometimes mimic the things Blake did but overall, she was alright. But she did contribute to the situation I’m in as well as Blake did overall.
For the last year, It got to the point where I would be so fed up with them, mostly with Blake, that I would ghost them, not talk or play with them for a few days to basically recover before interacting with the two again. I would even groan in annoyance when either one of them would call me. I would either ignore their calls or make up a lie of me being busy with other things so i wouldn’t have to play with them.
Now I know what you guys are thinking, "why didn't you tell them how you felt about their treatment of you???", well, I tried, but I would just be met with being called a "pussy" or "soft" and the behavior wouldn't change.
Now: Now let’s go back about three weeks ago, April 1st, my 19th birthday, Amber called me up and told me to hop on the game, I was in the ignoring them phase, but I decided to hop on because they wouldn’t be mean to me, right? Wrong, they told me to install rocket league, a game I’ve never played in my entire life and when I was able to join their game and we got into a match, I was obviously performing very very poorly, but that didn’t stop them very berating me and telling me how trash I am…even though they been playing longer than me.
Then we got on Roblox, and I was having technical difficulties because I was using the Microsoft store version of Roblox as I didn’t know that there was an actual Roblox client and launcher. when the two found out that I was using the Microsoft store version, they proceeded to berate me and belittle me some more, calling me stupid and dumb and questioning how in the world did I not know about the Roblox launcher and just basically making it feel like I just committed a cardinal sin. Then we play some Roblox, and somehow someway I kept on doing things wrong and games were playing because I kept on getting berated and belittled. Eventually, I got off.
I didn’t talk to them on the second, but I did talk to them and play with them on the third. We ended up playing Roblox again and just like last time I was getting berated and belittled because I would do things that they didn’t like. And after a couple hours, we eventually stopped playing Roblox and it suddenly goes into Blake diss tracking me. He would find random rap instrumentals on YouTube and then he would rap over them dissing me. He then told me to diss him back but I didn’t want to cause I was already in a bad mood, and I’m not good with words so I would make a fool of myself. And despite me saying multiple times that I didn’t want to rap, they both kept saying that I had to rap, eventually I just unplugged my mic and said that my mic was broken, which caused Blake to be like “if you don’t want to rap just say that dude, you don’t have to do all that”, like, bruh, I said I didn’t want to rap multiple times…
Eventually, I left a discord call and went to sleep because I had school in the morning, and when I woke up in the morning and checked my Discord, I saw that I had a message from Blake and the message said “pussy”. After that, I ignored them again until the 6th. When I took my phone off chill mode (do not disturb which I have specifically to hide text and calls from Blake and Amber) I noticed that Blake unfollowed me on Instagram and that he kicked me out of the discord server (it was of course his server as he liked being in control of everything). I was like "damn", but I just went on about my day, Amber was still following me though.
Now today, the 25th of April, I realized that Amber unfollowed me on Instagram as well, and that they both blocked me on Steam. So, I thought our friendship was over, so decide to unfollow both of them on Instagram, Discord, Steam, and delete both of their contacts from my phone.
I wasn't perfect in the friendship either, but I never berate or belittle either of them, bully and make fun of either of them constantly for their struggles in life or interest, and I never made either of them feel inferior. Never...
Part of me feel relief that I no longer have to deal with them anymore, but another part of me feels sad as they were both my only friends. I don't really know how to feel or if I should try to reach out to them somehow and apologize for ghosting them.
As I’m sure a lot of you can gather, I’m not a very confident person nor I’m I one that does conflict. But I feel like if I tried harder to preserve our friendship, maybe we’d still be friends? Like, maybe if I was more adamant and forceful about them stopping with their behavior? I just feel like I should have tried harder to preserve the friendship like reaching out to them both instead of just blocking them…
Am I The Asshole? For not trying harder?

I don't use the word lightly. I've tried countless times to be the person someone else can love. I'm still alone.
My father never loved me, and made it clear my brother was his favorite. While he would go out of his ways to spend time with him and even call off of work some days, I would be lucky to say good morning to him and receive one back. He died 5 years ago now and his last words ever spoken to me were him yelling at me while I was throwing up. Those words still echo in my head every night.
My mother makes it a bit less obvious but to her I'm a workhorse. She doesn't take interest in anything I do, only if it's something that would prevent me from helping her. Recently she's been asking for all my free time since she is moving, and when I had to leave early for an event she had called me the next day to berate me for not getting enough work done.
My siblings couldn't care less about me, they are kind when I'm around but I don't think I've talked to either outside of family events or gatherings in a year
My friends don't want me around. I'm always the one to reach out and start conversations. I'm always the one inviting them to play games online or go grab something to eat. When I'm around them I feel like a burden, someone they deal with rather than hang out with.
Any romantic attempts have been shot down quickly. Always excuses and nobody just telling me they don't want to be around me. I had one friend who said they were aromantic when I asked them out and then the next day told me about a person they want to date.
I'm truly unlovable.
Don't worry about me internet strangers, I'm coming to terms with it and I won't be doing anything crazy. Just another night I'm reminded of how I spent the day alone and end the day alone. My 'friends' don't like it when I open up to them like this so I've resorted to this.
I don't believe I've done anything to deserve this. Maybe in a past life I was a real asshole and this is karma catching up on her paperwork. She seems to be the only person who checks in on me.
Goodnight random reader, please take care of yourself.

We are doing a destination wedding and had planned on the ceremony being a nice boat ride to a cave then to dinner. The venue was to handle flowers, photos, travel, decorations, officiant and license. Well… they have done nothing. I keep asking questions about what to expect, a timeline, anything. It’s been over a year and I’ve only ever spoken to the coordinator assistant, not even the real coordinator. I know I never should have let this go on this long, but they are a reputable company and I thought it would be okay. It just hit me that things are not ok because 2 days ago they emailed me saying they can’t do our rehearsal dinner on the date that I requested back in February.
So we found an elopement company that will provide a photographer and officiant. It’s basically a 5 minute ceremony and it’s over. I’m looking for ideas to make this ceremony seem more substantial. We have 17 guests and our original ceremony was 2 total hours of boating and a 15 min ceremony. A 5 min ceremony is kind of disappointing. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks.

I've been wanting to date but worried. I've never had actual feelings for anyone, so I would just be going through the motions hoping they show up.
Flirting also seems strange to me, like a language I can kind of read but not speak. I don't know how turning a person you are supposed to care about into a game to win doesn't make them seem less human.
Even if I was successful I risk hurting another person the second they try to move into my life in any real way. My one real relationship ended badly due to this.
Anyone else feel this way.

How is this my life?! Finally got through divorce and got everything stamped by judge this past week. All of this due to affair.
Supposed to have Quitclaim Deed done within 14 days and I thought they would move out by then. This would have meant around June 14th. The timing of paperwork needing to be done is called out on divorce paperwork but no actual move out date. So the 14 day timeline shouldn’t be a surprise.
Now it seems early July is the earliest they are agreeing to move out from home. We have a kid, so it’s hard to literally kick them out. Since I don’t want my kid to live in a dumpster fire 50% of the time just because I want other parent out of my life.
But wtf! Since there was no move out day on divorce decree I can see this being dragged on for another 3 months, after a 7 month dragging out of the actual divorce process.
This is after a year of infidelity, and by the way they are still in touch with AP!!! So I literally want to scream “get the fuck out of my life” but technically can’t.
I don’t even think they’ve looked at an actual apartment in real life. I just want them gone! And not to have AP hangouts rubbed in my face while they’re still here.
This is bullshit and I am sick of having to interact with them everyday. Ugh why?! Any tips to survive the last mile of this marathon?

When my ex and I were dating, we both became friends with a woman 7 years older than us. After our breakup, she and my ex became close friends. We talked occasionally, but she would often become unresponsive, making it hard to maintain a consistent friendship. Meanwhile, she and my ex played games together and talked daily.
One day, she messaged me, saying she felt I wasn't moving on and waited for me to reach out to her for advice. I didn't reach out, so she reached out on her own accord. She then told me about one of the girls my ex messed with, claiming she was trying to help me move on and she knows him so well. She mentioned his abandonment and commitment issues and said she would find out more about his mental state. She mentioned how well he treated her, sharing that he called her his twin and how similar they were
During our 2 hours convo, I told her about my new guy best friend and how he reminded me of my ex in positive ways. She shrugged it off and continued talking about my ex, even saying she felt like she was my replacement. A few days later, she texted me more information about another girl he had been with and gave me updates on my ex. She asked if he had spent money on me, and when I said it was just small things, she laughed and listed the things he bought for her. I told her my guy best friend also spoils me like my ex spoil her, but she ignored it and continued talking about my ex.
Tbh I thought she was trying to help, but a couple people said she wasn't being a real friend by sharing all this. It made me wonder if she was socially unaware or just actually being shady. I mean, I'm thankful to know my ex is a cheater, which helped me move on. But some comments were unnecessary and felt like she was rubbing it in. I'm gonna tell her I don't want to hear about him anymore because he's dead to me next time she brings him up
I'm not sure of her real intentions. Maybe she has good intentions, but if she's telling me all his business, she might also air out my business to him.
TLDR: After my ex and I broke up, a mutual friend grew very close to him. She shared unsolicited details about his life and often compared my relationship with him vs her relationship with him. She claimed she did this to help me move on, but her actions made me question her intentions.
