I grew up through most of high school into uni people pleasing, which lead me to not show when I felt uncomfortable.
I was in high school and a friend of mine drew a small picture of me laughing and labeled it with a title. I’d been gaining a lot of weight that year and was a bit insecure about it. He titled it “greasy pig” and showed it to...... 1 reply

But today I woke up knowing it was a Friday, skipped my classes (cant be doing that shit) and went on the walk in the sunshine y’all. THE TREES WERE LOOKJNG AT ME LIKE I WAS SOME KINDA MYSTICAL CREATURE AND ...... reply
I have a fear of being looked down on by people who I'm close to. And I didn't even know, it was just something that I felt and didn't realize. It sounds so simple to the point that it could be rephrased "well yeah no one likes being looked down on by their close circle of friends or family". But I was internally always afraid of it and stressed ab...... 1 reply
I realized I’m a travel cheater, or at least I fall in “love” easily when travelling.
Something about being in a new environment away from home, the excitement makes staying close to people I find slightly attractive A LOT more attractive.
1. Travelled with a friend group, me and friend’s boyfriend get flirty
2. Stayed with another frie...... 2 reply
Found my old post again and I’ve got an update years later :>
I left them and it immediately opened my eyes.
TLDR: I left my friend 1 year after my original post. Best decision of my life.
It was a pretty unhealthy relationship for me. They consistently made me walk on egg shells, guilt tripped me even when I wanted to help or apologized, ha...... 1 reply
Let go of some bad relationships, got a boyfriend, did school for a bit and finished itヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
now I’m just trying to enjoy the day to day
it’s feeling kinda intimate coming back here, like a little reunion. I remember times when these forums had an absolute GRIP on me

TLDR: Are these just the low points with some friends? or am I in something toxic?
Hello again. This is another post passing by asking anyone for possible input into friendships. I need more perspectives to consider
I have this friend. Over the course of our friendship, conflicts naturally occur. I don't exactly think that they happen too often but honestly, I can't tell what's considered "normal" in terms of frequency either. But I consider conflicts to be an opportunity for growth
And the pattern usually goes like this: something wrong happened, we talk about it, we resolve it. Except the "we talk about it" phase often makes me frustrated or sad. Sometimes the conversation is constructive and wholesome. That's the dreaaaam
But most of the time, I'm getting a really aggressive approach from them. And by the time we resolve it, they touch on how they were aggressive or apologize for it. But I still get really scarred from how they came on in the conversation
I'm also not sure if that's just something that I need to work on letting go because they take accountability for what they say too.
I'm getting the idea that they're working on themselves so maybe it's just a process for them to be a bit aggressive but realize it later. And it'll probably get better over time. But I'm also worried that in future conflicts, they'll be aggressive again, even though it's a process that they're working on.
I don't know how to feel when our future conflict resolution becomes aggressive and deep, instead of constructive and deep. Is this just someone who's having a hard time going through how reactive they are to stuff? or am I in something toxic that I should consider leaving?
I've known them for a while, so my life with them is a habit to me. I really can't tell. Memes are always welcome ty
I had mangago all up in my DMs. I felt special. Mangago even listened to me. They wrote to me about how the questions that got took down also took down my answers. And you know what they did?
They wrote my answers back for me to see what I missed (● ̄(エ) ̄●) they wrote back every single one. errmaagosh I could've cried of happiness
And then a thread popped up and I found out I was just a side hoe bc they were all up in other people's DMs T-T
Then a while after we stopped talking, mangago messages me again and quotes my answer for the question that got removed. Oh no you guys... I'm feeling special again. My feels. Just tell me if I'm a side hoe again ╥﹏╥
