ConfusedParticipantHello anita
I dont sleep well in the past 2 months but im trying, i hope u did!
Hmm, i seem to enjoy emotionally available partners so far, unavailable cause me to lose interest instantly (if it’s in the beginning)
My sisters are younger so they didn’t experience her like i did. Things got a bit calmer after but they still got into fights with her, nothing like me tho. I honestly can’t connect the two (my experience with her and me growing up)
I felt responsible as in, not anger them so they won’t fight each other/me.
Oh that was kinda the same for me with mine. I was always alert regarding her feelings, not wanting to upset her and so on.
ConfusedParticipantI really cannot consciously relate my mother to any of my romantic interests. Its really weird because people say that u seek in relationships the kind of relationship u had with ur mother but i really dislike conflicts..
I can’t remember if i ever felt like my love for her was a burden, was yours for your mother? How would you describe it?
Yes i’d wish that too, but i guess we had karma from previous lives haha
At times i also felt responsible for my parents feelings.
I am off to sleep aswell, talk soon 🙂
ConfusedParticipant@thomas168
I really want to feel again, i am not quite sure yet but i am exploring.Hey anita
No no im not leaving yet haha, if i do so it will be for me to clear my head of all this 🙂
Tell me, what exactly do u want me to explain further?Yes i think that’s exactly how i feel like. When people make me responsible for their feelings i dont feel that good.
But i didnt feel it consciously, only a little bit perhaps. Do u think it was all a fantasy that blew off for me?
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 🙂
