i'm loren , i hang out with like 15 friends at once and yet i rarely feel like any of them understand me. Yeah we laugh and have fun but i can't seem to find that deep connection with someone who i can relate to. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and shit but it genuinely seems like their lives are too perfect for them to understand my struggles , considering my life is a sack of fucking dog shit. Also like i feel like most of my friends tend to keep a distance from me just because i guess they don't wanna deal with my b.s , like OmG dONt brInG YouR isSuEs INto mY lIfE yUcKy . whatever . I just hate being lOneLY bcz i have legit nobody to talk to about the ACTUAL things i wanna talk about. All my friends wanna talk about is Oh HEs So HOt or Did YoU sEe WhaT hApPeNeD lIke OMg WtF , sure i mean i cant deny gossiping and gushing over boys is fun ngl i'm not a saint , but sometimes i just wanna talk about struggles or like fucking life or depression or my insecurities or whatver but my friends never seem to understand that. ANYWAYS so bottom line is i need fucking help and i need friends rAwR !! Oh and not to mention that my love life is a fucking mess considering i have trust issues and push away almost everyone. Legit broke up with the love of my life (took me 13 months to get over him LOLOLOLOLOOOOOLOLLO) just because things were going so well and i didn't buy that shit since nothing THAT good ever lasts or seems to be true so i just expected life to come in at any time and pull a "SIKE" on my ass , therefore i ended it lmao. ANyways i talk too much , think that may be one of the reasons im struggling out here oOpS
Hi all, nice to meet you. I'm Kris. I think I'm caught up in a toxic addictive relationship with my ex. It's very hard to understand myself and my feelings and why do I let myself being mistreated like that.
@kindOak6393 Hello. I think your awareness of the situation you find yourself in is something to take the exta steps from. I can relate that it seems impossible at times, taking even a small step towards being who you want to be is a celebration.. Relationships can be hard sometimes!
@mija123 thank you Mija123😊
Having found myself in total social isolation, I would really appreciate ideas on how to start reconnecting to the world. I suppose this is one small step :)
@mija123 this might seem very locigal and way too easy said than done, but go and look for meet ups or workshops or something for the interests you have. Just give yourself no obligations or stress to do anything or interact and talk to a certain amount of people; just go. And see where that leads.
@kindOak6393 Okay, so my last message may have sent it by accident. I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for the last 4 years and he means a lot to me and we do have arguements over my lack of communication. I've constantly gotten angry and defensive when he has brought it up and it's just brought us into more conflict. I believe I've come to the realization that I may be toxic to myself and to my boyfriend and that I have no control over my emotions. I have also come to realize that my boyfriend let's me vent to him, but when he vents to me, I get distracted and I dont even pay attention to him and of course that leads into an arguement because i cant realize how wrong i was and how disrespectful I'm being. I came to 7 cups so I can get some help to work on myself so I dont lose the man I love and so that he is comfortable venting to me.
@kindOak6393 Thankyou. My challenge is social anxiety and agoraphobia. But I have started to reconnect online with places like 7 Cups.
Hi everyone, Ive been in a relationship for nearly 8 months now but the last couple of months have been rough. Weve been fighting a lot over the smallest things and its so frustrating. Weve tried talking but it still leads to fights. Sometimes well be grand and well laugh and everything but its so on and off lately. Im not sure what I want to do. I tried thinking of the whole relationship and what I want to do but I just dont know. We took a break recently but it was so short but it was probably the best wed got on in recent times. We were able to joke and laugh without getting offended but as soon as we got back together we went back to fighting. He can be really mean when hes mad and say really hurtful things but he was a sweet side too and the start of the relationship was so good. I just dont know what to do.
