#31245 With all the psychological shit I've gone through, losing close contact with my family since they moved away, losing all my "friends" from high school and somehow getting haunted by the bridge-burning conflicts that occurred in that process, tanking a number of classes, depression, the list goes on....

...some people are surprised I stayed alive - some people thought I was suicidal. At times even I've wondered how I'm still here. How, as broken as I am, how I'm somehow strong enough to not take my life.

It's doable. But, as many people underestimate, not as easy as it seems.

If your response to people complaining about how stressed they are is "just suck it up," or "you're just being too sensitive," or "dang, that's horrible, but your suffering isn't as bad as this one time I had..." you might want to rethink that. None of those kinds of responses help. It's hard to put yourselves in the shoes of people with immense mental and psychological stress, but it'd be nice if you could. Because it would be greatly appreciated.

#31244 I think the most painful thing ever said to me was by an ex. He looked me dead in the eye and said “no one is going to chase after you.” I don’t expect anyone to “chase” after me but I expect you to care. To fight for me. To support me. To make me feel valid. It was at that moment I realized I did the right thing by leaving him and my toxic friends. But it still hurts every once in a while. Sometimes I wonder why I wasn’t worth enough for you to fight for me. I hate the way I looked at you for validation. I hate it even more that you never once gave it to me for the one and a half year we were together. I’m learning I have to make myself stronger and love myself before I can get into another relationship. Everything happens for a reason and I’m learning to let a lot of things go but it’s days like today where it come back to sting.

#31243 To the girl I met in Windsor 4/2 around 6 o'clock. We were getting quesadillas when you said hi but I didn't realize you were talking to me. We laughed how sometimes your friends didn't notice you were talking. Then you mentioned you liked my jacket. I remember we introduced ourselves and for life of me can't remember your name. You were with your friend Kathryn I believe. I apologize for forgetting your name, I was shocked you approached me.

Confession: I have an obsession with puzzles like Rubik's Cube puzzles.

#31242 I have been dating my bf for 5 years now but still he doesn't want to talk about future. At this point i am ready to settle down but he always makes excuses whenever I talk about future. My parents know about him but his parents have no clue about me. I honestly don't know what is going on in his head. I feel like I should break up but its hard since we have been together for so long. Any advice?
