Personally, I've never been loved outside of my family. As a kid, I was too often criticized for being too quiet. And being constantly "unproductive" because I enjoyed video-games. My own mom (an ISFP) expected me to turn into a stereotypical ESTP. She forced me to do stuff I didn't like and got mad when it was clear I didn't like it. She has her own insecurities. And it's now clear she just wanted to use me as a trophy to brag to other parents. She later started to date a guy who would become my step-father. It was her worst decision. We were poor and if I was hungry, he'd explain it was my fault if my mom was struggling. It was because I tried to survive and ate whenever I could. In other words, he would have been satisfied to find my suicide note or something. Not that I was a bad kid. I was a very peaceful and curious kid minding his own business. But for reasons I fail to understand, that wasn't enough. Anyway, that's a lot of information. Sometimes, we just need to talk and not everyone can turn to someone in particular. So feel free to share your experience. (edited)

You're a tuff one bro. Glad that you made your own life. I hope you can receive the love you deserve.

Personally, it's genetic. My father had always told me that he had really bad anxieties to the point where he needed medication just to be around someone other than his family. I feel like I've inherited that. I want to get out and do things that wouldn't cause my blood pressure to rise but- it's a demon that I can't shake, at least not yet

how you view someone is always based on the first meet, wether or not it changes in the future is based on how you behave.

A night time reminder

No matter what else may be going on around you, you are loved and your life has purpose. You are worthy. You are more than the choices that you've made. You are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. There will... read more

Isn't it sad that we are dependent on others to be happy? How can one ever be free if our happiness depends on someone else?

Mold of the Cosmos

How Do You Feel About AI?

I don't mean AI art here. But rather, utilising AI as a substitute for companionship, someone to talk to, however that might look to someone. (You know what I mean.) Have you ever used AI to supplement a friendship or relationship?
