Has anyone with abandonment trauma been able to recover or find a partner who understands? Submitted December 30, 2022 at 01:13AM Has anyone with abandonment trauma been able to recover or find a partner who understands?

/u/Lyn-nyx on what is something you think non asexuals will never understand?

Ima flip the question. I don't understand why people care so much on how we identify our sexuality. Does it really bother you that a bunch of virgins (#notall), made a sexuality for themselves so they can potentially find other people who feel the same way? Like truly, why does us feeling little to no sexual attraction really bug you so much that you feel the need to argue with me that we don't exist? I'm not you, this is my life. Kindly, mind your own- to anyone who has done that. December 30, 2022 at 12:23AM

/u/austenaaaaa on Nobody pays attention to this huge factor: INDUSTRIOUSNESS

For all my issues with the guy, he literally is, and if he's the professor in the video OP is mentioning then he's also talking within his area of qualification. Jordan Peterson knows what he's talking about with psychology and he does give a lot of good general self-help advice, he just dresses it up in gender-essentialist pseudo-intellectualism that rubs a lot of people (myself included) the wrong way. Like all self-help advice, it communicates the same basic principals in a way that 'speaks to' some individuals and not others (in this case, some aimless young men and women [but mostly men] who identify strongly with their gender and benefit from having a clear map of how to perform it within society). He's just an idiot about everything else, and he has a habit of speaking as an expert on things he's not an expert on by drawing parallels to psychological concepts cherry-picked to support his philosophical beliefs and particular political agenda. It so...

Can this be salvaged?

I’ll try to make this short: I (33F) am struggling with feelings for two different men. I’ve been doing the dating thing, and over the last 2 weeks I’ve been torn between a man (34M) who lives in my neighborhood that I’ve been getting to know for a couple months and a man (33M) who just moved back to my hometown an hour away after 10+ years of living across the country. The 33M I’ve known since I was in middle school, and we used to have a thing for eachother, so we have history. While I was getting to know the 34M we stopped talking for 2 weeks because he didn’t want a relationship. During that two week period, the 33M had sent me a message saying he was back in town and was wondering if I wanted to catch up. I go see him and the sparks were instantly back. We ended up getting intimate and I told him I was looking for things to go into the direction of a relationship. Long story short, I realize I rushed him into something with me. A couple days after he and I were intimate and being...

This girl I’m interested in accidentally called me “bro”

This girl i’ve been talking to called me bro on a few occasions. Each time she apologized, said it felt weird, and said that she wasn’t going to say it again. I assume this means that she says it to others but didn’t want to say it to me, is there a meaning behind that?

/u/Neat-Dance-3652 on Am I really demi-ace?

I looked into aegoromanticism and it’s not a match, I am very into romantic stuff and I like being in a romantic relationship except for the sex part if I don’t have that strong connection yet. Aegosexuality does resonate with me a bit, though I do think that I want to participate in sexual stuff with a person I really trust. Ace-spike sounds like me but my situation is only towards one breathing person. Demi Ace-spike? Demi-aegosexual? December 29, 2022 at 11:21PM
