Thank you for the link!

I’m with you, gonna have to wait and see how this develops

I can’t find a trustworthy news source on this. Please help me out, I would love to share this to a few people

I had a string of relationships in my 20s as well, but I don’t think any of them were healthy and I developed my own drinking habit to cope before realizing I didn’t want that misery for myself.

Dunno if you want any advice to consider, but I’ve lived alone for most of my 30s, and I have to say having a pet really helps. I have a cat and a dog, and the dog does provide more opportunities for conversations to happen just seeing the same people on the trails we walk every day. These are usually shallow conversations so it’s easier to avoid feeling like I’ve upset anyone (it still happens lol “why did I say good morning that way??” but it’s low stakes at least). But even having a plant to take care of helps with the loneliness, because you have this living thing that occupies the same space as you, and even if you can’t leave the house today you can still share being alive and existing with this plant or creature.

Anyway, I wish you all the luck with your move and your new future

Edit: I just realized we’ve commented to each other before, I was on a different account though lol. I’m glad your move date is so close now :)

I have AvPD, and I am sure there is a genetic link, but it’s hard to separate it from my mother’s issues and treatment of me. She had schizo-affective bipolar and was an alcoholic on top of that.

I’ve found therapy to be a bit frustrating, because I am able to cope with my fears and recognize when I’m slipping into avoidance but still unable to form connections with people. I’ve been released from therapy but still don’t have any friends or relationships because I still react to other people’s unpredictable emotions with fawning and then cutting them out of my life lol

It’s a very lonely disorder

Man that’s a weird photo. The lighting is strange, the shadows make the photo unnecessarily busy. Only one of the four has a natural smile. Melania is wearing a black leather dress for some reason? Why do most of them have weird hand positions? Also why are none of them touching their spouses?

I totally did. In my defense they are similar in appearance and notable conservative family members. And Megan endorsed Harris during her first presidential campaign (which was also brief)

This dumbfuck is who DNC toured with during the brief Harris Presidential campaign last year. Yeah, the party that pretends to be accepting and kind to all people like Fred Rogers was, paraded someone that thinks being accepting and nice is entertaining around like we’d all be good friends

That’s Jim Morrison. But I also don’t know what we’re telling OP lol

I mean, I blocked the sub after they asked me to send a picture to comment. I have no idea what their actual policy was, just what my experience was

I still can’t believe they wanted people to send pictures of their arms to prove they are a person of color before posting/commenting. Okay, maybe I can believe that. What I can’t believe is that anyone defended it
