I'm a late 20's femanon with anxiety, anhedonia, depression and suicidal ideation. 2016 was my year in hell, everything went down for me, ended my LTR of years, moved to another city, became an existential bottom feeder, considered suicide, etc. I got out of that and got way better, therapy and other stuff really helped me.

In February 2017, going out with my friends I met this nice guy in a club, we instantly fell for each other but it started slowly through months, he was patient so my reluctance got dispelled eventually. We got into a relationship. He's a great guy, smart, funny, patient, likes the same stuff I do, the same music, most of the same geeky nerdy shit I like, he's older (I like older men), he's good looking, he has a job that he's passionate about but no obsessed, he's sporty, he's empathic, open minded, he does no drugs, no tobacco, a little beer sometimes, but he knows how to chill and have fun, he gets along with my friends, he speaks several languages (as I do), we're sexually very compatible (the sex with him is just amazing). Totes a keeper. He knows my secrets and I know his. He also knows about my issues since always. I'm kind of wealthy so I don't need him for money, I live in my own place, develop my own projects, etc.

The problem is I still get anhedonia from time to time, not full-fledged depression, sometimes a little anxiety, but certainly anhedonia. I'm making great progress through therapy, but I still get social anxiety and social anhedonia, I just couldn't get to contact him for weeks sometimes, I just could not, there's no way I could do it, and pressuring me to do it backfires all the time. My friends are used to me just disappearing for a couple of weeks then calling them back, but I think this is kind of tough for him, he's nowadays that not much pushy, but I still feel how it affects him my absence, but I do not do it to hurt him, it's just that I couldn't feel a thing + zero energy for romance, nor sex, nor socialization.

I know he wants to marry me, and have kids (I don't want to, and I have told it to him, prolly he thinks I'll change my mind), he he writes me some long kik messages and I just have no intention, nor the mood, nor the courage to answer them in days until I feel better. Then we see each other again and we have a great time together. I kind of feel like this will erode eventually, or it will become tiresome for him.

He's way better than my exes also, but some side effect from therapy is that I'm not that much prone to get into co-dependency with a guy anymore, so relationships are for me just worth of a little contact, and no totes overlapping. (Existentialist personality traits and that yabba dabba)

I'm just a zero jealous, zero attached gal, had never mourned nor craved for any of my exes, it's easy for me to keep going without them. Sometimes I fantasize that he marries to a wonderful woman and he's quite happy and have the kids he wants to have. That would make me happy and zero anxious and so tranquil. I had told this to my therapist(she's great), and she says I should not rush things, not getting married nor breaking up with him, and wait to get better eventually.

He had asked me if I still love him, and I do, but when I'm in the grey zone of anhedonia I couldn't get any feeling, and I just want to be left alone with my non-fiction books and my free time, but I know he feels hurtled for wanting to have it all with me all the time and me not giving it to him.

>TL;DR Not trolling, he's a dreamboat normie and I could get to feel zero for him when anhedonic.

Focus on how you feel, instead of how you should feel. Focus on what is going on, instead of what 'should' be going on. Focus on what you have to do, instead of what you would rather be doing.

I didn't read your whole post, but I read the main topic: "Should I break up with a man who loves me and sees a future with me?" Can you just reply to this post with one compelling reason to do so?

This hot new hire at my job has been jocking me hard for the last month, which was cool.
Then I learned she's been living with a boyfriend for ±5 years, which is not cool.
Been trying to ignore her because I'm a principled man and don't play those fucking games.

I'm of the mind she forcefully made me her 'Plan B', and I ain't nobody's Plan B.

How do I tactfully handle this shit? I have no past precedent for this situation.

It's not a case of being in a constant state of just one emotion. People's emotions are constantly changing, someone miserable today may be elated tomorrow. The thing that differs most is what it takes to make that persons emotions change, I can go from egotistical megalomaniac to depressed bitch boy in an instant if I were to drop a sandwich I was enjoying.

Living with two girls. One is a relative and has a boyfriend so that's off the table.

The other girl is this cute goth chick. I say goth but she might not 100% agree with that label. She's super thematic though with her clothing decor, a lot of purple and black, a lot of skulls and macabre, but it isn't like over bearing at the same time.

The thing is we barely talk, I barely know her other than very brief passing convos in the common areas. I think I heard my other roommate mention she had a boyfriend once, but I'm not sure.

I actually replaced her ex on the lease and I'm staying in the room which was his. She's very nice to me though, she's super sweet, I think we'd get along good if we just broke the ice a little more.

I'm just so lost as how to make the next move in getting to know her better and becoming better friends first before I try something as risky as making a move to fuck her or show any romantic interest at all. I'd hate to make things awkward for her seeing as it would probably make things awkward for both of us if she were to reject me, seeing as we live in the same house.

I was thinking of maybe just asking her to do something sometime together, but I don't necessarily want it to come off as I'm as I'm romantically interested.

I was thinking saying something like "I feel like we haven't completely 100% broken the ice yet. We should like do something sometime".

She's actually super into fashion design, and even has a studio in our basement. I have some button suspenders I picked up from a thrift store I can't use because I have no pants with buttons on the inside to clip them onto.

I was thinking of asking her if she can help me sew on the buttons as I'm sewing illiterate and she probably has the supplies and better know how.

The whole situation is such a tease. I'm really attracted to her. And our bedrooms are literally right beside each other. I think she might be a couple years older than me (21 m), but idk.

Give me your thoughts. thx

kinda empty. there's nothing wrong with my life, but there's nothing much exciting in it either. I have my hobbies and all, but maybe it's not enough.
since I started working and dropped uni, I also gave up the ilussion that life is a linear upward progress, and I feel trapped in my routine.
I can't help but being constantly aware of the transient nature of everything

Hey all in need of some perspective, I'm gonna try to format my this in greentext.

>Meet really cute introverted girl at dinosaur jr concert, we both like the same music/art/anime
>Ask her out, we start dating. Thinks are going great for a month
>She's 24 I'm 26, but with quite a bit more life experience, she's pretty shy, I'm very outgoing. I like the contrast.
>5-6 weeks of dating goes by, I start to escalate the relationship, I start feeling like I don't want to have to "plan" or meetups anymore
>Starts complaining about her stress at work, I tell her to come over when she gets off and I'll cook dinner
>radio silence, get a wall of text at 3:30am seeing she feels emotionally dead from her past relationship and can't invest in something, very apologetically and meekly
>I immediately tell her to go figure her shit out then, in a nice way, and that I'm moving on,

It's been radio silence for about another month now, and I really miss her, I've fucked around a ton since then, and she was the one.

What's my play here? Do I be upfront and have a grand display of my feelings? Do I go for something lowkey "let's hangout / startover", or is my best play to simply keep going on with my life and let her decide.
Sorry if this was kinda long winded, thanks so much for any input.

Do you know what her past relationship was like? What about her past in general? Good relationship with parents, siblings, friends, all that jazz?

I'm asking because when we have shitty relationships with people, they often make it feel like it's not safe for us to open up to anyone. As a result, we can keep ourselves distant, pretend not to have feelings or needs, and it might be that we've suppressed our emotions for so long that it's difficult to even find them again
>>
All I know about her old relationship is that it was very wounding, and she seemed to have a lot of hatred for her ex, I never wanted to hear about it. She's very close with her mother and her little brothers, not so close with dad. She lives at home still with them, She's a year back from college and hasn't done the real world living thing, she's a little sheltered. I'm pretty deep into my career.
>>
>>18591527
>I never wanted to hear about it
If you never hear how she was wounded, you'll never become aware of what her emotional raw spots are--those moments when she'll feel the relationship is threatened in some way and needs you to reassure her.

>I'm pretty deep into my career
She might've tried to reach out to you in some way, tried to express her need for comfort, but you weren't there for her. That can be emotionally draining

i'm sorta like you OP, but i realised it's no different to making friends when you're a kid. the more you talk to - and spend time with - someone, the more you will naturally connect.
it's the initial introductory phase that bothers me the most. it's the most important and yet the most boring part of making friends, since you're always asking and answering the same questions. but if you never grind through it then you'll never discover what you have in common.

Hello everyone, I'll make this short.

This girl I've been seeing lately lives in a 3-bedroom apt with 5 other girls. If we go to get busy at her place, I know all the other people who are home can hear everything, because I can hear every word they say. I know they know what we're doing, and totally hear everything. It freaks me out, and I'm having trouble relaxing into stuff. How can I get used to sex when I know a bunch of people are listening to every sound?

I just started using a credit card, and I'm curious how the billing cycle works.

My statement shows a balance of $25 and is due towards the end of the month, which I just paid off. What I'm wondering is, if I were to spend any more money this month, would I need to pay it off by the same time, or at the due date of the next billing cycle?

In the USA it's required by law that credit card companies give it like 25 days from time of purchase until when the bill is due to prevent interest.

So no it should be a different billing cycle
>>
>>18591354
Ah cool. Thank you so much!
>>
>>18591344
Look closely at your bill, probably the back. The billing month is from some random date (not always the 1st) to the day before in the next month (e. Jan 15-Feb 14). All charges that get to them in that period are listed. (Sometimes a store is slow and the charge doesn't get to the card until a day or two later).

You then have a stated time to pay the whole bill and not be charged interest. If you miss that deadline or only pay part of the bill, you'll be charged interest and maybe a penalty.

Every purchase after the bill date (e.g. February 15) will be on next month's bill

This was the first time i ever saw her, but it seems like she had seen me before, and somewhat liked me. Looking back at it, the whole conversation was just so beta and plain retarded from my end. I should have said something nice to her. Anyways, continuing with some green;

>A couple of weeks passes by and i tried to stalk this girl a bit
>I find out her name and that she is currently taking an electritians class
>"Thatskindacool,jpg"
>I keep thinking about her from time to time
>One random day she and a friend of her's frome her class come over to our classroom
>I glance casually over at her and her friend
>"They're probably here to talk to her friend from my class" I think to myself
>They slowly come over to my desk
>"WaitWut.png"
>"Hey anon, we're doing a project in our class where we basically have to be entrepreneurs, and we wondered if you'd help us?"
>"Of course" I respond
>"Great! So basically.."

She explains the whole situation to me and i agree to help. I'm enjoying just listening to her soft voice.

>She adds me the same day on Facebook so that i can join her and her friend's group
>We chat a little over messenger about stuff and interests, get to know each other a bit
>"Hey anon, feel free to come over to my classroom anytime you wanna chat :)"
>"Yeah, of course, I'll stop by some time!"

I think it's just a natural conclusion to say that I'm probably creepy...and I don't know how to reconcile this. I just want to hide for the rest of my life and not bother anyone with my unforgivable existence. Is killing myself a good idea?

You don't exist to please other people, so it's not important if other people aren't pleased by your appearance. Spend your time doing things you enjoy instead of worrying about other people.

No. Most women are just catty bitches who will hate anyone unusual to hide their own insecurity.
Find a creepy boy and buy a haunted castle or something. Start a grunge band. Eat fish from a can. What I'm saying is be creepy if you're creepy. You've got it, own it.

no, at least you still have both of your arms. It could always be worse.

College kids are a bunch of dumbshits, and as you grow older you'll find more people mature enough not to call people names because of how they look.

Your friend seems to really be trying to help you feel better and even if it's not working, you should be glad that she cares about you enough to keep trying still.

This is something that I hope helps some people, because it's something that has taken 40 years to find the right metaphor for, at least for me, even though I'm sure there are those with fractions of those years who already know. But whatever, here goes:

Everyone has an "Internal Audience." This is the crowd we imagine around us when we recognize we are in a position for which we might be judged (which is basically always). They are the imaginary friends we concoct who always fall into tropes, and whose complexity is difficult to negotiate. There's also this thing we do where we attach that Internal Audience to the external world, and map them to the actual human beings around us, and we measure and conform our image of them according to this algorithm of personality and expectations we hold them unto like a cloth to slip into. This is a thing I urge you to fight. Do not lose your internal audience, though - keep them, refine, them, add and adapt your understanding of them; they are your spirit guides. They exist within your reality as much as anyone... but do not ever mistake them for the bodies you encounter in the physical dimension of space-time.

They may be, sometimes - for brief moments, perhaps longer if you're really lucky - but never forever. The probability of someone literally existing who matches your conception of ideal so perfectly is so low as to break universal limits. It's why humans have invented ideas like Tulpas (check /x/ for more on that shit... it gets deep). It's hard not to do, but you'll find that once you try to really completely listen to and experience the people you are around - just try to experience the universe through their eyes - that you find yourself having to adapt your internal audience to fit the experienced world. There is a dialectic, and it is liminal, and there is an equilibrium. It's so hard to do; it may be enlightenment itself, but it exists. I guess it's the root of compassion, and ultimately leads to ego-death because you realize that you don't actually exist outside of the sum-total of the identities that others construct of you outside of a solipsistic bubble, but that's also okay. It's how you build a universe. You are eternal in your own universe, and quantum-immortal. So it's worth exploring, ya' know? Okay, rant over, /adv/. I'm curious to hear thoughts on this.

Do you guys have any advice for an insomniac like me? It takes like 3-4 hours to fall asleep, on worse days it goes up to 5-6. I just can't calm my mind. I tried to read before going to bed, or do some exercise. It only helps a little bit. I also tried weed right before sleep. That had the most effect, but I don't want to stuck on it.
I also don't really want to use medicine if possible. This is my 5th year like this, sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy.

Yes, both. ASMR never gave me the 'tingles', and it makes it even harder for me to sleep since somebody is whispering. Even if I hear a clock ticking in an other room, it keeps me awake even longer.

I once heard, if you have trouble falling asleep, you didn't work hard enough that day. Whether it be physical or mental, maybe a little bit of both, try to really strain yourself in some aspect each day. If the day is over, and all your work is done try exercising, but really exercise, break a real sweat, have a hot shower. Exhaustion is what puts you to sleep.
