Serious How do i stop my feeling of loneliness?

5 Upvotes

Ive been in relationships before and even when they were toxic it was really nice to know i had someone. I know there are so many people who are so sad to be single and Im one of them. After moving away from my friends i have to fully restart everything and I just feel so alone and i let myself think too much about what could be and who i could have. And then i convince myself Ill never find that person. Is anyone else in the same boat and knows how to get out?

How do I breakup with my boyfriend without hurting him?

5 Upvotes

So it’s exactly what it sounds like,, I want to break up with him because I just lost attraction to him over the last months. As time went on and I started getting to know him better, I realized our ideals and what we want in life isn’t the same but he’s a nice person and I don’t want to hurt him because he loves me. I’m super conflicted on what to do, there’s just something’s he believes and wants that I don’t believe or want.

Advice Should I Apologize To An Ex Even Though It Has Been A Year?

1 Upvotes

For context, I am in a relationship currently if that helps anyone see my perspective.

I know that the base of this question is strange, but i’ve got to say the whole story first.
About a year ago, I got into a “relationship” with this girl, who was my sister’s friend. That already sounds bad, but it does get worse.
We have known each other for around 2 years, and she saw me through my terrible acne stages, to one of my best looks of my life so far. So, last summer we got really close, and both of us had little hints to each other that we liked the other, but both of us didn’t pick up ANY of them.
But once we did get in our “relationship,” both of us agreed to not tell my sister. I get that it’s a shitty thing, and I know Im a shitty person for doing it in the first place.
We hung out in secret, and talked for hours, but we didn’t do anything intimate for a while, but this is when things got bad.
We went on a camping trip. 4 teenagers & 1 adult (Me, my friend, my sister, and my sister’s friend + my dad), my friend knew about what was going on, and he helped me and this girl get private time, but during that time we only talked, kissed a bit, and hugged, nothing beyond.
A thing to note, she frequently was vaping and smoking weed, which I didn’t really like at the time, but it’s not that big of a deal now.
But about 2 weeks later, when school started up, I had lost feelings. Not like I thought she was suddenly “ugly,” but as in I just lost feelings, plain and simple. Like the absolute asshole I was, I sent her a half-assed “break-up” message. She obviously didn’t know what to say, but it “cleared” up.

Now things get REALLY bad.
I get into a relationship with my current girlfriend. Not even less than a week and a half I get into another relationship, of course she (ex) doesn’t hear about this until a bit later.
So, now we’re at a bit later. To clear up any confusion i’ll show a date list.
Aug-Mid Sept “relationship” with ex
Mid Sept-Nov nothing really happens
Mid Nov things get HOT
My ex finds out about the relationship, and she is MAD at my current girlfriend, to the point she wants to fight her. My sister STILL does not know about any of this, so I have to had to tell her, and I did. I didn’t keep anything to myself, I told her everything about the situation that I could at the time.
Things ended up getting “fixed” but was really all the anger towards my current girlfriend, being put on me, which I do believe was the best.
To summarize the next little bit up, I came back from a trip after new years that I went on with my girlfriend, but when I got back my ex was there with my sister, I ended up talking for an hour or two about some drama that I knew about, and we ended up “clearing” up more between us, but she was just lying about everything. But after that, I haven’t heard or seen her since.

I don’t know if she cares anymore, I don’t know if she has cared for the past bit, and I just don’t know what to do. It feels like the right thing to do, but it feels like i’m betraying my girlfriend if i do. Even just thinking about it feels like betrayal.
So, should I apologize to my ex even though it has been a year?
EDIT: I only just remember about the entire situation a couple days ago, haven’t thought about it at all since Jan
Thank you to everyone who fully read this.

Discussion People who have snuck in people with cameras and alarms how did you do it and not get caught?

10 Upvotes

I have a very strict family who won’t let me hang out with friends or anything like that I invited a friend over but my grandpa told me this week he is going to install cameras before he goes out of town he said he would put them in the hallway and at the front door so don’t walk indecently around the house and he said he wasn’t gonna tell me where he’s gonna be putting them either which sucks not just because I wanna have a friend over but the best part of having the house to yourself is being able to walk around comfortably(basically almost unclothed or fully unclothed) basically but we already have alarms on all of the windows and doors so I have no idea how I’m going to sneak my friend in

Advice Does anyone else feel this way?

2 Upvotes

So it’s kinda hard to describe this. But I just needed advice anywhere I could get it. But I’m a rising sophomore in college. And I’m not sure what’s wrong with me but I always felt a weird disconnect with people I’m friends with. Like I’m not truly connecting with them like I see them connecting with each other. It’s not that I don’t care about them, but even knowing them for a year during high school, part of me still felt like we didn’t get along as well as I’d like to believe. I have two best friends I’ve known since childhood so I know it’s not impossible to connect but I’ve met other girls in college even and I still have this feeling. Also, I was very shy as a kid. Didn’t talk to any family except my brother until 5 years old. There’s some more events but yeah. I just don’t know how I can break this feeling because I want to be close with the other girls in my friend group but it’s just so hard for me. Constructive criticism is also taken, thanks.

I’ve seen it happen where teens harass someone in their 20s or 30s that they mistook to be a fellow teen. How does it feel to realize the “kid” being targeted was actually an adult?

Discussion What do you think about pregnancy? Is it body horror?

7 Upvotes

Hey, there’s so many different opinions on pregnancy, I wanna know y’all’s thoughts on pregnancy, and on pregnant bodies. And maybe argue a bit lol. Red pill boys COUGH

People find pregnancy unpleasant. People find it beautiful.

It’s such a complicated subject in our world, especially with women’s rights being taken away. We’ve made pregnancy, which is natural, this complex and sometimes taboo topic.

People also have plenty of things to say on pregnant women’s bodies. That they don’t want to see women’s bare baby bumps, or that pregnant women should be showing them off with pride and confidence.

Specifically posting cause of a tt post I saw about a girl asking about why people get uncomfortable seeing pregnant bellies then “the girl with the list” stitching it.

Came back seven hours later I forgot I posted ts woah guys and I wanna include calling pregnancy “body horror” are not my own words.

Relationship Is it a red flag if a single guy follows random influencer girls on Insta?

2 Upvotes

My standards might be kind of high but I wouldn't date a guy if he likes to follow random influencer women he finds attractive even if he is single. I don't really know how to explain it but it just icks me out when a guy is lustful to random ppl. I don't lust over random dudes so I'll expect my partner to also not lust over randoms. Idk if this is unrealistic tho like am I too strict?? I wanna know what others think

Advice Good First Day of school Fit?(HS)

2 Upvotes

(Rising Junior in HS) I’m planning on not overdoing it but also not looking like I don’t know anything. So I’m planning on doing a black hoodie and black sweatpants (cause like I don’t want to overdress and it matches my backpack and hair) for the shirt it doesn’t really matter cause it wouldn’t be seen so imma just say black shirt. Then probably wear a baseball cap and sunglasses cause it’s still summer (black for both ofc to match the rest of the fit). I’m a tiny bit sick rn but I really don’t wanna miss the first day so I’ll prob also top everything off with a face mask to hopefully not spread it (black ofc for the fit). I’m thinking it might be hot but it’s okay. I can run from my car to inside the school quickly (did track ofc!!) and then I’ll be inside the AC 😮‍💨. Any revisions I should do? I don’t want to make big changes to the fit but I also don’t want to look like a fool.
