I'll keep you around to regulate me but I will never ever be close to you again. I will never be vulnerable around you or allow you to touch me again. Keep thinking I forgave you but I'm actually gonna use you like you use me. And no matter what you promise I know you will run away again but I won't chase

my dear I miss you so much

It's been almost half a year since we last talked. Even longer since we were friends. I know you still like me. I can hear you start to talk louder when I'm around at school. During geography you avoided eye contact while bringing me my test but I could see you smiling. I was smiling to you too. You follow me every so often on spotify. Changed your bio to send me messages. You're so endearing, I wish you weren't so shy.

I know it is kind of my fault things ended but I couldn't keep waiting and only texting online. I want real contact. I think you understand that too. I was always planning efforts to talk to you, for example before exams. A shame you kept coming in late and had to sit in the front.

I miss your humor. You were so fun to talk to. Sometimes I read back our old, now ancient, conversations and find myself smiling. Somewhere I also think I might've took you for granted. I didn't see your spirit at the time. Now I see how sweet you were to me.

I wonder what I have to offer to you though? Looking back on our messages you were mostly carrying the conversations. I feel like I am too,, mentally ill. You are shy and have no experience while I've been in too many toxic relationships- though you don't know that yet. I'm afraid you might not be able to handle it, and support me right. I don't want to "infect" you either. Sometimes you skipped school after I did and it felt really shitty because I don't want to influence you like that. And what if you are just in love with the idea of me or the idea of having a girlfriend? Would you be okay not having sex? It is my greatest fear. I am too afraid to share all of my history with you- but that should be a part of having a partner.

I don't know. I also don't want myself to keep making excuses and not try anything due to my fear of abandonment and pushing people away. I mean, I'm not (yet) scared you'll leave me but more so, that we wouldn't work out and both end up very hurt. There's lots of "practical" reasons why we are "too" different to work but I still feel so strongly about you- that I wonder if I should just give it a shot.

I am planning on making more contact with you- just you wait. But you need to stop being shy. I hope that if you see I like you too- you have more courage to be direct.

When I can't sleep at night I think of you. I fantasize about us finally talking, going on a date. I want to hug and kiss yoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Stop blaming me for being "selfish" and "overwhelming" when all I did was message you occasionally and tried to help when you threatened to kill yourself in my inbox. You're the one who preyed upon me when I was in a bad place, at a young age, yet I still chose to forgive you. But you're just so miserable you can't grasp that people can care about those who've hurt them. Honestly, I think both of us are pathetic.

Hi. I'm not sure if you know this, but when you view my tiktok profile I get a notification of it. I don't think about you at all, but still get triggered seeing your name, and seeing your name checking on me scares me. After all I've done and subjected you to, you still checkup on me. I appreciate it, because it makes me feel cared for, and I want to let you know I care for you to. Nobody's perfect, I fall into the same loop I've fallen into so many times, even this much later. I still sometimes think you were the one, the only one. But then I think, Im probably just having a depressive episode and am extremely horny.I miss talking to you and I hope you stay safe in this political climate. Thanks. Bye.

Why are you in love with a pedo?

Anonymous 129920

>>129911
If you know he’s going to dump you, you have to dump him first. Paradoxically that’s the only chance you have of getting back together with him, provided you’re able to mentally let him go.
Right now, he associates you with the negative experience he just had plus the burden of having an uncomfortable conversation. Every time he remembers you he feels this pressure, and since he’s a coward that can’t just say what he thinks, he will try to avoid thinking about you to stop stressing.
If you break up with him calmly but firmly, you take away the burdens, and then if he starts thinking about you again he’s more likely to start remembering the good things.
Just make sure to not leave more negative feelings in the breakup convo. Idk what happened during your episode, if you have to apologize for something then do that, but do not have a long heart to heart with someone who’s decided to leave you, even temporarily. Don’t blame him for the break up but don’t blame yourself excessively either, and ideally tell him that you’d like to remain friends and on good terms, and then never actually contact him, or meet him if he wants to hang out. He might want to just check up on you because he’s like, omg I have totally broken her heart (because I’m so awesome) let me see if she has survived - well fuck that. He might be also just reaching out because of residual guilt, fuck that too, once gets over that he will actually be thinking about you with no baggage attached, start remembering all the good times and missing you. So if he eventually starts trying to talk to you casually, always ignore or blow him off, otherwise he will satisfy his curiosity/guilt/whatever and move on. Only give any response if he actually wants to talk seriously or get back together (which there’s a reasonably high chance of if you do all this, but it depends on your previous relationship).
Just remember: it is always better to break it off in this type of situation, because even if he stays with you he already feels like he’s settling/resenting you and you will not be happy, in fact the relationship is guaranteed to get worse. And if you just wait for his decision, you will feel worse and worse every day, because you’re basically giving away control of your life to someone who doesn’t even love you enough, and you’re not respecting yourself. If you break up and he never wants to getPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I've gotten to the point where I've become such a touch-starved femcel, I've started to envy and hate pretty girls who have been SA'd or stalked by men before. Instead of feeling sympathy for for them, I get to the point where I am annoyed and disgusted hearing their stories where they had that one ex boyfriend that just "couldn't let them go" or having had a man in their life obsess over them. That has been the stark opposite of my life. As a femcel I have been ignored by men my whole entire life, and the exes I have managed to have had all wanted to ghost or abandon me, none of my exes were ever obsessed with me. None of them blew up my phone constantly or begged for me. At this point, I see women talking about obsessive exes as nothing more than humble bragging, especially Stacies, complaining about how "oh so hard" it is that they've had an ex obsess over and stalk them. They don't understand that the life of a femcel is much worse. I would take their life over mine in a heartbeat. Being a Stacy where I have men obsessing over me, stalking me, and wanting to grope me versus being the touch starved ignored femcel I am. It's easy to see their life is easy mode of people doting on them all the time (their life) versus a life that is absolute hell (my life).

It took so long to remember just what happened
I was so young and vestal then
You know it hurt me
But I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise
Got my hands bound
And my head down and my eyes closed
My throat's wide open

Do unto you now what has been done to me
Do unto you now what has been done

Tool- Prison sex. The latter half of the songs explains how abuse comes full circle, the abused become the abuser. Abuse like this leaves a hole in you that only seems to be filled when you hurt others. But you never truly get your power back.

my bfs porn addiction makes me want to cheat Anonymous 129689[Reply]

my boyfriend’s porn addiction is making me lose my mind. I first found out about it in early August but I keep finding out things he’s lying about. At first he framed it as just watching a random video then closing. Then, I found out he used to pay for OF while we were together. after this, I found out that he was doing this shit the entire time before I found out and he had a twitter account for OF egirls + bought an anime porn game. He first blamed his problem on our relationship issues before I found out he was doing it the whole time.
He said that what I sent him wasn’t “enough to look at” compared to porn despite him literally being overweight with a receding hairline (quickly apologized but still).

After I found out about the OF stuff, I started cheating on him online. I was a very popular cosplayer and used to make lots of money off of my looks, so it feels weird and makes me feel resentful because I feel like he doesn’t admire my looks like this. Flirting with girls/guys online feels like an escape from feeling like I’m ugly + feels like a gotcha. It makes me want to show off my body and for a while I even thought of doing gravure work when I move back to Japan. I feel horrible for doing this. I used to hate male attention, but I feel relief when a cute moid hits on me. it’s like a “atleast someone appreciates my looks”.

He’s been a great partner and has been treating me amazingly since but I still feel this way sometimes and I feel like a horrible person. What should I do? Am I a bad person?

advice to you or anybody that has problems with their bf that they feel they couldn't resolve.
Break up.
Simple.
Never ever ever cheat, you immediately lose your argument if you do. Why cheat and stay in a relationship anyway if you don't like him anymore? Break up and finish it.

Do both of yourselves a favor and leave him. If hes lying about porn usage what else is he lying about? cheating is not good either and if youre vernting your frustration that way, why not just cut off the source of it rather than "dealing" with it?

Anonymous 129814

If you're as skinny and pretty as you say you are, then what are you doing dating a balding fat porn addicted, erectile dysfunction having moid? I don't even feel sorry for you at this point because from what you say you apparently have the access to get a much more decent moid who's actually handsome and doesn't jerk off to porn all day. Skinny women should never settle for fat men, they're disgusting, smell bad and have ED. Plus you're in the cosplay community, there are tons of model looking men who are in the cosplay scene. The world is your oyster when you're a skinny woman and you can have access to 90% better looking moids. You're only shooting yourself in the foot.

I'm manic and can't stop thinking about all the abuse I went through as a kid.

I experienced extreme abuse as a toddler and it shows in my day to day life. The average person just thinks I'm autistic or something if they don't see my episodes.


A while back I was groped in my sleep my partner at the time and it really set me back.

I want to hug someone without it feeling sexual, I wish I didn't have sexual thoughts about friends I make. I want normal relationships.

I've always been eccentric and weird but it feels worse now, everyone can tell I was abused as a kid right?

I'm currently living with my untreated mentally ill mom who treats me as her therapist/husband.

I'm so burnt out, I raised my siblings growing up and I can't keep going.

I've been waiting to reply to this while the site was being spammed. I'm really glad its over and I'm so sorry you got those awful replies from some weird pedo. I'm not going to lie to you and say "it gets better." My life is so similar to yours, but there are steps I have taken to make it a lot more bearable.

My first tip is move out! I get it. it's hard, but these people will drag you down. If you have relationships that are contentious but you still want them in your life, that's okay. They will improve with some space. I was heavily abused as a child too and I only really get along with my dad who I love but failed to protect me many times when there is a lot of space between us and my social life is active. Anyone you don't want in your life block asap. I don't know where you are, but most major cities have tons of boards of young people trying to meet people to get a roommate, this is also true of colleges if you are still in school. Consider renting a room rather than a whole apartment too.

>I've always been eccentric and weird but it feels worse now, everyone can tell I was abused as a kid right?

I often wonder the same thing. Try to think of it as separating the wheat from the chaff. If someone can see this on you and it drives them away, you don't want them in your life anyway.

I'm sorry about your awful ex. My ex did something super similar about a year ago and because he's still in my space this has become a prolonged Title IX battle. The fortunate thing is, this man doesn't seem to be in your space. Keep him out of your space, get rid of all the things that remind you of him. Maybe a new phone or mattress.

>I want to hug someone without it feeling sexual, I wish I didn't have sexual thoughts about friends I make. I want normal relationships.

I don't think this website is great about sex, so I recommend finding a space where traumatized sexuality (especially the oscillating between horny and self disgust) are better understood. Sex is a raw, biological thing. It's okay to have those feelings and I've found that the best thing to do here is a sort of radical acceptance of your own sexuality rather than repress it. After my assaults I often wished that I had no sexual feelings, had no body to be judged sexually and felt like my experiences made mPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Wow this is actually really helpful, thanks sm.

I'm at a "supportive independent living" facility at the moment.

My head is kind of spinning, my main goal is to get a nice backpack and all my belongings gathered up somehow.

I obviously need a job, I'm gonna try and get somewhere that's understanding if I can.

I should've figured my family would abandon me tbh, They're making me out to be deranged and inherently dangerous and it's making me feel like a monster.

Honestly not sure if I can have a relationship with my mom, I just wish she hadn't done the stuff she did recently. She has untreated bpd and the constant splitting episodes were too much and broke me.

I'm going to see if I can get a ptsd diagnosis, I'm pretty sure I have it at this point. I'm praying that I get a good psych or whatever, I'm supposed to get a call for a mental health program tomorrow or something.

Talk to an advisor in your school about this and they will definitely help you

>I obviously need a job, I'm gonna try and get somewhere that's understanding if I can.

Since it seems you're still in college, try working at somewhere like the student center, women's center or personal counseling in your university. If not i'd be shocked if your facility didn't have options for getting people into the workforce.

>I'm going to see if I can get a ptsd diagnosis,

PTSD is an easy dx to get, but I'm also going to recommend you go through an autism test if you have the means to do so. Since you mention that people perceive you as autistic it is probably worth it regardless. A lot of this is to avoid a BPD misdiagnosis, which is really common with the combination of autism x ptsd. Request a woman!!! I can not stress this enough. Because I don't see male mental health providers I've almost never been labeled some stupid bullshit outside of scenarios in childhood where they only saw me with my abusers in the room. Maybe try the RAINN hotline as well? They are usually able to connect you to free mental health resources within your area.

There isn't a university where I live unfortunately.

I'm diagnosed autistic and tried applying for disability with it but was denied because I was diagnosed too long ago. I do often tell people I'm diagnosed.

Thanks for the advice about male providers.

Unrelated but every spring most of my family gets manic and they get really scary. Like none of them admit they're bipolar and it's bad. Since they know I'm diagnosed they end up projecting how they feel onto me and it gets weird, vent over.
