my transmasculine boyfriend is autistic, has DID, is depressed, and has several other conditions/disorders that make it extremely hard to function normally. his point of view on the topic of arguments is to prove that he is in the right, and to explain his point of view to the person he’s arguing with until they’re on the same page as him. i experienced this today, and i can’t get it through to his head that when im upset, i don’t need to know every detail about why i shouldn’t really be upset. i just want comforting and a sincere apology....my transmasculine boyfriend is autistic, has DID, is depressed, and has several other conditions/disorders that make it extremely hard to function normally. his point of view on the topic of arguments is to prove that he is in the right, and to explain his point of view to the person he’s arguing with until they’re on the same page as him. i experienced this today, and i can’t get it through to his head that when im upset, i don’t need to know every detail about why i shouldn’t really be upset. i just want comforting and a sincere apology. any apology he gives me sounds like, “i’m sorry that my actions made you feel that way, BUT..” followed by an explanation of why he is justified in his actions. what do i do??Read More

So and I r kinda in an open relationship, kinda not. We decided to focus on us since we r getting married soon. But SO has this friend they flirt with and text ALL the time. They reassured me this friend is just a FRIEND. But I'm still uncomfortable, ik I shouldn't be. I should trust my SO to respect our agreement but I'm feeling anxious. Also I have no idea how to talk to them about this bec when they thought I wasn't okay with the friendship and wanted to to stop (I didnt) they almost cried.

Also I have no idea how to talk to them about this bec when they thought I wasn't okay with the friendship and wanted to to stop (I didnt) they almost cried. I don't have an issue with the flirting, they flirt with their friends all the time, Idc about that. It's more just, now they seem to ALWAYS be texting this friend no matter what is going on and get upset if I say anything about itRead More

I recently found out that someone who I used to date died last year. Now I can't stop thinking about him. I hadn't seen him in over 25 years and have had serious relationships since then but I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I had stayed with him. When I was with him I thought things were pretty casual but then he said he loved me. To this day I don't know why I couldn't tell him that I loved him. We stopped seeing each other soon after that. He was a good man. Eventually he...I recently found out that someone who I used to date died last year. Now I can't stop thinking about him.

When I was with him I thought things were pretty casual but then he said he loved me. To this day I don't know why I couldn't tell him that I loved him. We stopped seeing each other soon after that. He was a good man. Eventually he got married. Meanwhile I am still single. What if I would have stayed with him? Would I be a widow now?Read More

I don't know if I have the ability to love someone. I have never been in love, I have never activley tried to find a partner like all the people around me. I want love. I want to prove to myself that I'm not like my dad; that I can have a healthy, loving relationship with someone. I can be selfless, I can take blame, I can stay, I can love someone the way I wished to be loved all my life. I haven't had the fortune to witness a happy relationship within my family. My mum and dad had...I don't know if I have the ability to love someone. I have never been in love, I have never activley tried to find a partner like all the people around me. I want love. I want to prove to myself that I'm not like my dad; that I can have a healthy, loving relationship with someone. I can be selfless, I can take blame, I can stay, I can love someone the way I wished to be loved all my life. I haven't had the fortune to witness a happy relationship within my family. My mum and dad had a rough time and divorced when I was seven. Then my dad had a relationship with my ex-step-mum which was incredibly toxic and horrible to be around. That lasted seven years. I don't have much faith in love. God, I don't even know if I like boys or girls, or both. I'm scared that I don't like either. I think my standards are impossible to live up to. And I believe they are so high because I'm so afraid of being in a relationship with someone like my dad. They say like father like daughter; and I have always worried that I am like him and that I will be emotionally abusive like him. It is my biggest fear. I don't ever want to be the reason someone goes through the sh*t that I went through. That is another reason why I am terrified to have kids. What if I do that stuff to them? I would never want to, but what if it has been drilled into me so thoroughly that I can't stop it. In short, I don't know if I have the capacity to love because I am so afriad that I will love like my dad, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Read More

I’ve been pretending everything’s normal, but the truth is, I’m in love with someone who has no idea. Every moment with them is a secret I carry alone.

Hey people!!!!! Good mood and good luck to everyone!!!!!

I’m scared of change. I know I need to move on from my dead-end job, but I’m terrified of taking that leap. What if I fail? I see my friends pursuing their dreams, and I wish I had the courage to do the same. Sometimes, I just want to scream, “Help me!” but I keep it all inside.

I once bumped into my teacher at a grocery store, and I panicked. I didn’t know how to act, so I pretended I didn’t see her. I felt so bad afterward because she was so friendly and waved at me. I keep wondering if she thinks I’m rude now.

My family has a secret that nobody talks about. My grandmother had a whole other life before she married my grandfather. I found some old letters and photos that reveal a side of her I never knew. I wish I could ask her about it, but I’m scared of stirring up old memories.

I have a message saved in my phone that I’ve never sent. It’s a heartfelt apology to someone I hurt in the past. I keep thinking about how much I want to send it, but I'm terrified of their reaction. What if they don't forgive me?

I lost my childhood pet a few years ago, and I still feel heartbroken. He was my best friend, and I can't believe he's gone. Sometimes, I talk to him as if he can hear me. I even keep his favorite toy in my room, just to feel a little closer to him.

I can sing, but I’ve never told anyone. I sing in the shower and when I'm alone at home. Sometimes, I even post videos online, but I always keep my face hidden. I dream of performing one day, but I’m too scared to show my true self.

I have a huge crush on my neighbor. He’s a few years older than me, and I’ve never spoken to him. I always find excuses to walk by his house just to catch a glimpse of him. It’s silly, I know, but I can’t help it. Sometimes, I imagine us having deep conversations under the stars.

One day, I found a note in my locker at school. It said, "You make the world a better place." I don't know who left it, but it made my day! I’ve tried to figure out who wrote it, but I haven’t had any luck. I just wish I could thank them.

I forgot my best friend's birthday this year. I was so caught up in my own life that I didn't even realize it until days later. I feel awful because she's always been there for me. Now, I'm planning a surprise party to make it up to her. I just hope she forgives me.
