ConfusedParticipantI am gonna answer later or tomorrow, didnt use the PC much today 🙂
ConfusedParticipantHi anita
Yes because of the connection i felt and i can feel she’s an honest and sensitive person. Even though i started wondering if i have ADHD (because many of my symptoms match) and combined with an insecure attachment style, i got in this predicament.
No no, it’s a fear in my mind, i think for the most part i was great to her, its just my own insecurities that get the best of me.
Because i know it’s my thing to “fix” and i feel bad when i turn their love down. I accept it and move on. I think i feel the same with you 🙂
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
I honestly cannot recall any of this about me (my feelings and trust being broken), i think its mostly a fear of being inadequate and not let her down. I was so anxious about hurting her, she felt precious to me.
Yeah he hugs and kisses us (me and my sisters) all the time. I know many people would long for that, but sadly i cringe with affection. I only want it from my girlfriend and maybe a little bit from some friends.
ConfusedParticipantI didn’t pay much attention to that at first, because i am romantic and i like those things. But the truth is, i have only known how to be the one that is more invested in a relationship, never experienced the opposite. And with her i felt like i am “responsible” for something fragile (her feelings and trust) and i can’t handle such pressure/responsibility (responsibilities drive me away like crazy) because eventually i was afraid i would let her down. Also that being the one that invests more, kinda lets me “control” the situation a bit and if things go south i can’t be blamed. I know it sounds nonsense but i think this is how i feel in a way.
Weirdly enough, i didn’t feel cringe with my mother/grandma hugging or kissing me. I feel it strongly now with my father (he expresses his love every day, very intensely) and when my sisters hug me, i freeze and feel like i want to push them away. They know that i have this thing so they find it funny haha.
I have never had any issues with going all-in with the previous girls, but it has never been this deep connection like the one with the current girl. I guess going all-in includes being vulnerable with them (which was the first time i did now, never did i share my fears with anyone else). You mean like the shadow self or the inner child? I think thats what they call it. By pulling back u mean ur feelings got suppressed and u became blank/empty like me? I am glad things worked out for you, i wish i could say the same 🙂
ConfusedParticipantCould also be related with me feeling cringe/ick when anyone of my family expresses affection towards me.
ConfusedParticipantI think it could be, because ive never moved in with another girl before (just staying for vacation) and i know that i am kinda strict on needing my space in the house. Also the first time flying out of the country aswell.
Therapist said that i have a lot to untangle, it goes really deep, and its just our 2nd appointment.. She asked me if i find it strange that i lost feelings days after the girl confessed hers to me and i felt that she is more into me than i am into her.
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
Thats how im still feeling sort of. I dont know if that was the reason entirely, i think its more complicated than that.Could be me having commitment issues that i wasnt aware of. Well my reality wasnt bad before i met her, just a bit repetitive and sometimes boring, but it was fine. I am not sure because i really wanted to meet her, that was what i was thinking about for the past 3 months, meeting her and do things with her, have a great time. I had imagined it plenty of times, so i dont think it was because of this, it would have happened sooner.

Thank you for your reply. I wasnt planning on this to happen and it has never happened to me before, thats why i am losing my mind over it. What do you mean a seperate peace or piece?
I am into therapy currently trying to work on it. I thought i found one and this happened..
ConfusedParticipantI think i am afraid to lose the potential that i didnt get to explore with her yet, the dreams, the plans. Also a caring, trustworthy and deep-feeling person that i saw on her. I dont wanna be left with the “what if” because now im numb.
ConfusedParticipantIts probably because of the girl that i feel guilty about and i dont wanna lose like this 🙁
ConfusedParticipantAlright i will try that when the rumination gets strong. But i dont know why it happens
ConfusedParticipantI am not good with arts (poems-painting) but what u said reminded me of my childhood when i was doing stuff with nature. Planting-cutting grass-watering it, it was very grounding and calming indeed, i might have to do that again. Its kinda cold here now (0 and below some days) but its sunny so i can do that too.
Thats what ive been doing for the past 2.5 months.. Ive seen the thing with the senses that u are talking about, but always was too lazy to try it haha. Gonna definitely try it when i get stuck in ruminating again. Im trying to focus on things i see and hear outside mostly but it doesnt rly help
ConfusedParticipantHello anita, i will get back to you soon, got to go for now 🙂
ConfusedParticipantI know and i hate that things turned out this way..I guess i might be using the ‘in love’ feelings to give color to my life, but i have to find that within.
How do we do that, anita? 🙂
ConfusedParticipantYeah i guess thats for the best. Until i figure my own things out..
ConfusedParticipantI know this is what i should do but i cant get her out of my mind. She feels emotionally drained aswell and we agreed to take space to focus on ourselves again.
