I looked it up and one of the first results was a picture that related perfectly. It was a child trying to get the attention of her mom and her mom couldn’t deal with it so then later the child is an adult and feels like other people don’t want to deal with her either. That makes sense and...

She used to text me at different times of day just when she was awake and free and then it suddenly switched to what seems like specific clock times only. Obviously that’s fine and her decision but personally if I get a message and I’m not doing anything or sometimes even if I am I will look at...

She did say that I could call her that though but I try not to even though I do want to. I’m sorry I’m not completely sure what you mean about the expectations. Do you mean that the issues I have might really be to do with my bio-mom? I do have issues with my bio-mom but these specific issues...

I used to do that and I think I figured out my reasons for it. 1 I didn’t have anyone to talk to about serious stuff so if even a stranger would ask a question they would get a probably TMI answer 2 I’m a literal kind of person so if they didn’t want to hear the answer it’s sort of their own...

I (19M) have a friend (43?F) who is really important to me. She’s like a mom figure and because of that it seems to throw up all kinds of problems over small stuff. So for example I text her something the other day about how I was feeling (just a short thing because she asked- I wasn’t doing a...

One of the reasons I thought it was a bad idea for her was because it seems like she has an addictive personality. Medication should come from the doctor. I’m not wanting to be judgey about it. I just get so upset and I can’t think straight.

Thanks. It helps to know I’m not the only one. The post wasn’t here It was on another website. I wouldn’t have made this post if it was because that seems rude.

Sorry. I’m not very good at explaining things so I’ll try some examples. My dad was (is) an alcoholic and a drug user. I recently became friends with someone who is a recovering alcoholic which was fine but I think I was triggered the other day by something she said about having had a drink...

Do these make anyone else really uncomfortable or am I just weird? It seems like nobody else thinks it’s a big deal. I don’t want to say anymore in case I upset people. :/

That makes sense. Thanks for your reply.

My friend is trying to get me to practice Teflon mind but I don’t understand the difference between that and just pushing everything down. How do you know when to think Teflon thoughts and when you should “sit with it”? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I don’t know you but I’d like to.

Chocolate milkshake.

Scared that it’s happening all over again.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot this afternoon. It really doesn’t happen that much anymore outside this kind of situation. I have in the past though when I have needed to so actually you could be right. I just never really thought of it being my go-to thing until now. It’s weird though...

Thanks for sharing. :) Sorry. I’ll give you an example. I was playing a board game that I don’t really know how to play that well but everyone else did. I asked a question that was apparently stupid and Was told as much. Maybe it was the shame aspect. Thanks Thanks for your reply. :) shame I...

None. I just didn’t know it was that bad. I did tell my mum at one point and she didn’t do anything so I never even thought about telling anyone else.

I have noticed that feeling stupid causes me to dissociate but I think that’s the only trigger for it. The part I don’t understand is why that is because although that feeling is a trigger in general, it’s not anything that I remember happening as a kid. I don’t remember being made to feel that...
