@Thrasybulus thoughts?
I was already typing but still needed a bit of time.click to expand

Yup, I go through this process every time I like someone but never seem to learn mich from this.
Just when I thought I had everything covered through reflections from the past a different setup comes up in which all my concepts are meaningless or non applicable.
The point of what is reality is always the hardest one.

Yeah I try to check myself on the boredom thing, that gives me second thoughts about whether I have a genuine curiosity for the other. but less and less second guessing nowadays.

Yes absolutely. The reason could be many of things but at the end it all boils down to self-control and discipline, no?
Lol you're probably right but that sounds like you're being way too harsh on yourself.click to expand

Yeah... how do you just sum up your teachings and experiences to help make better decisions and perhaps control/console your emotions better.
I think it's not about controlling them but actually feeling them.
I try to find a peace of mind for some time while thinking about and if the feelings stays or even grows I'd consider them real or at least have a higher probability to be real.
After that question of what is the best way comes but that's a lot easier because it's about actually doing or planning things.click to expand

Sometimes when it comes to love interests I just feel like i have zero self-discipline.
But where is the fun in selfdiscipline?!
I really relate a lot to everything you are writing. It's a relief.click to expand

Posted by stillstillwater
But deep down you know the reality... what's the reality? The reality is may be you're bored or being needy or may be too into them. Just doing it wrong. And it feels wrong. How do you handle it?

ok so what's your game plan then?
Oh god so sorry. Have absolutely none.
All I try to think is: does it make me happy? Then do it. And happy on a longer basis, not just short term. But I am quite lost. Sorry. That's why I found comfort in your posts🙄click to expand

I threw almost everything but the kitchen sink at the problem. Didn't work. Hard lyf for a day followed. Np.
Then i finally started to figure out that if the cunt doesn't want the best sex this side of the Alps and be driven in a fancy shyte car it's her loss.
Honestly, bending backwards over someone that doesn't reciprocate in the slightest is a fool's errand. Grow a spine, get on with your life, someone will like you back and you won't have to jump through hoops to get what you seek.
Tbh i think you're just horny (i know cap women and their need to be sexed regularly). Get a Hitachi Gandalf stick (wand). Hug it.

@Stillstillwater
Get to know them first before u get thirsty, that usually cuts away on the awkwardness.
Not that I follow that advice 100% of the time myself, but that MIGHT help u out.
Unless it's a Virgo. They thrive on awkward.

I am just imaging your crush walking by and overhearing you repeat to yourself "deep breaths, self-control, discipline.."
"wat?"
"nothing."

Have you ever liked somebody so much but just held yourself back because you know that you're just doing it all wrong. Like may be the reasons why you want to talk to this person doesn't match their interest in you...and you're just all nonchalant and want to make excuses to chat it up like "im not that into them", "this is just fun", "i don't really care".
But deep down you know the reality... what's the reality? The reality is may be you're bored or being needy or may be too into them. Just doing it wrong. And it feels wrong. How do you handle it?
i'm trying to throw any article and any distraction my way..anything except actually being productive that is because that'd just make it all more torturous.

i have probably zero emotional intelligence when it comes to love. Many times people are like what?? You liked me? and similarly i'm like what?? You liked me?
I'll chalk it up to being a visionary and never paying attention to details.

I hold myself back all the time. I try not to repeat the patterns, so it’s so hard making sure you don’t fuck up again. Holding back doesn’t seem to work so well though. Then they think you don’t like them, and you do! Wth.. lol
I do know I refuse to walk on eggshells anymore, I need to be myself and you probably need to get my attention to get me to pay attention to you. I know I suck lol.
Live and learn. Take the lessons with you. It’s a lifelong process but there’s always hope 😄

Nah, I just go an tell the person directly. It works most of the time and when it does not - NEXT

oh man i wish i saw this a few hours ago...i want her soo bad, because she is the modest, sweet lonely heart, most amazing beautiful girl ive been seearching for my whole life, yet i hold myself back because i dont have my shit together, and the world has become a very hateful, judgemental, racist place, where color, culture, race, has become a major part of our environment, i now ignore her trying to get over her, trying to let go, and i handle it by drinking, yet its making me sadder, and then happier... and my ups and downs have me thinking i can, or cant. LOVE IS FRIGGING RIDICULOUS, but is it love or just an obessesion? i have quit smoking weed, been excersing so much i lost over 30lbs now! yet i fall back to my knees...well now i became vegan, so still taking it 1 step at a time i believe...yet i assume soo much dumb shit..past few days i was like its never gonna happen, just ignore her and carry on, and again these hours im feeling like i can still persue my happiness...i want her so bad! i dropped alot of my productivness the past week and gave up, then i get back on it?! what in the flying fuck!moon phases? bi polar? lyme disease? hell i was about to jump in front of the train cuz my vision on this reality is getting to me! shit is torture? wtf are you a pisces like me?click to expand

Well the thing is though I've made my intentions REALLY clear like cant' get more clear than that. ANd he just kind of went "skurrrrrrrrrrrrr" like dismissive curve.
But ends up flirting and telling me they miss me...i'm just like "NOPE, not today satan!"
This is a cool line though: I need to be myself and you probably need to get my attention to get me to pay attention to you.
What the hell is with that? Maybe Its commitment phobic guys, emotionally unavailable? That sucks! Like push & pull...
The Libra is acting weird now.. he doesn’t like that line much. I think it’s my sag sun, always a little oblivious lol. Or 12th house lol. But the guys I’ve been in long term relationships always did that. So is it being a Libra you want it to be equal or you just are losing interest? Or getting butthurt? Think my Cap bits are so hesitant. Like show me you want to be here. And he’s acting like he doesn’t know if I want to be there, same as the Cap did.. I seem to scare them all away except the freaking Leo who has no right to try and be there.
I figure I have no choice but to be me, you know? Personal growth and this is where I am? Ugh I’m getting tired. We were having so much fun too..click to expand

Oh no! Shit... we need that answered. Like Libra board needs to step up and have answers for these weird ups and downs.
My issue is still with that Libra dude too.
What makes you think you're scaring him away? I did read this book that said guys get really close to you then they like to distance themselves because they don't want to feel their happiness depends on you. And during this time you just need to ignore it and be happy without them. But when they come back welcome them back with open arms?
But it's a little early on for him to be distancing himself, no?? This should be a honey moon phase.
I've never had a guy want to distance himself from me within the first year of dating. Are men confusing? Or just Libra men?
Well we keep having an issue with him wanting me to make decisions like so he knows what to do.. and him thinking he knows what I should do, and not agreeing with how I function 🙄 we are both compromising and we do communicate through the miscommunication. But then he gets all butthurt thinking I’m thinking something bad about him when I’m not! He seems to want me to show him I want to be there, but then he acts all sensitive. Like it’s okay if he teases me, but I can’t?
He has not wanted distance, we went out Saturday & he texts me morning texts and we’ve been texting everyday. So I don’t know if he’s going to figure it out or disappear at this point. It definitely is a different vibe in the last two weeks, like he’s butthurt about something.

I guess I'd like it if a guy let me make the decisions!
Lol!! I always ask him what he wants to do. Probably from long term marriage to an Aries 😳 but you know I don’t really give a fuck if he makes me scrambled, over easy or over hard eggs for breakfast!!! And why is that such trauma just make the damn eggs.. so when I ask if he wants help there’s a fight about I didn’t make a choice? That I got distracted by the conversation we were having & he didn’t tell me he wanted an answer NOW.. oh and well sometimes I didn’t know the choices because he didn’t tell me. I was just suppose to notice what he was unpacking from the store? Like how did I know what things we’re options for breakfasts& what was for later 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄. He didn’t say a word.. just was having a convo about something important like medical tests. ( eggs fight was a different Sunday morning).

Your thread is just something i need right now. I want to kick my stupid ass. I started something that i kinda regret, but im also curious so whatever.
Background: we are not exclusive, no physical thing happened btwn us but now kinda emotionally attached. We havent seen each other in 3mos and still cant.. anyway, last month he asked me about a "massage" that he was curious about. I understand from reading here that some people cannot handle going without sx for a long time so i said try it coz im also curious and there are bigger implications down the line that i want to realize. It wasnt a big deal at all in my mind. But now of course the script in my mind flipped but i didnt ask to abort mission because my twisted sense of curiosity is already engaged despite the activation of my shark brain (and hyperventilating) atm
Wth am i thinking sometimes i dont know ((scream))
Edit: i was all rational about the "massage" because it will be done by a "professional" and is legal in that country

Yes he went ahead with it and told me about the experience. It doesnt make sense for me to get jealous but i felt what i felt and told him. But now im thinking... is he going to do it in secret next time?? 😒😒😒
Anyway, i learned this from my friends gemini mom (bless her soul). Their cap dad was a ship captain and was away like 90% of the time so they had this understanding.
I had to find out what that felt like. I have to be honest i cant relax here while someone is touching you! 😖click to expand

@Tiziani I have to call you out, Tiz. You said Capricorns are one sign you don't see where they're coming from at all. Is this true? Is there anything we need to work on?
*confronting a Libra...part 2*
Yeah I have no idea.
Honestly I don't even see a problem there.
Even with the talk you and Roosagicorn were having, I do not see a big problem there either. It sounds like just one of those getting to know each other phases, where gradually you both learn to choose your battles and not sweat the small stuff. (though it did sound like the Libra guy was being pedantic).click to expand

Your thread is just something i need right now. I want to kick my stupid ass. I started something that i kinda regret, but im also curious so whatever.
Background: we are not exclusive, no physical thing happened btwn us but now kinda emotionally attached. We havent seen each other in 3mos and still cant.. anyway, last month he asked me about a "massage" that he was curious about. I understand from reading here that some people cannot handle going without sx for a long time so i said try it coz im also curious and there are bigger implications down the line that i want to realize. It wasnt a big deal at all in my mind. But now of course the script in my mind flipped but i didnt ask to abort mission because my twisted sense of curiosity is already engaged despite the activation of my shark brain (and hyperventilating) atm
Wth am i thinking sometimes i dont know ((scream))
Edit: i was all rational about the "massage" because it will be done by a "professional" and is legal in that country
what were you curious about? That you might get jealous? And was he asking for permission?
Yes and i egged him to try it. It is easy to have a rational perspective on things if it actually isnt happening yet.. but yeah i got jealous.
yes true. so he went ahead with it and now you're jealous? How are you handling being jealous...will you be able to forget and move on?
Yes he went ahead with it and told me about the experience. It doesnt make sense for me to get jealous but i felt what i felt and told him. But now im thinking... is he going to do it in secret next time?? 😒😒😒

Well what could work in those understandings is don't ask don' tell policy you know.click to expand

Well you know the background but recently I got the courage to tell him what I want which was to give us a real chance. And he just dodged the convo entirely. Not saying yes or no.
But then the next day has no problem flirting with me and telling me he misses me, recounting our time spent together, asking me when I'm visiting him etc. I was strong and didn't condone nor encourage it.
So i've kind of gone on the defense where I'm just trying my damn hardest to not fall for the flirtations and just keep it friendly. I fucked up today but tomorrow is a new day.
I told my Leo/Sag Moon guy friend about it and he was like , "Promise me you won't go after this guy."
Like I just have a nutcase on my hand I think....
Ok, well personally I am extremely biased against avoidant behaviour right now since I've been surrounded by that recently and have little patience for it. So I'm more likely to come down hard on this guy than even you lol
But what really takes my attention there is what makes you say "I was strong and didn't condone nor encourage it."?
This kind of mirrors a conversation I was having with Acsquarepluto yesterday and I'm wondering why the focus would be on condoning on encouraging anything because that puts all the focus on what he wants, rather than what you want and what you're getting out of this.click to expand

I guess I'm trying to be un-bothered.... like it doesn't affect me. I don't know how else to communicate that it's a real issue regarding what he's doing. It's definitely not okay. Either just be friends or take the step.
What is he doing that's affecting you? Is it the getting in touch with you? I'm asking to understandclick to expand

i'm trying to throw any article and any distraction my way..anything except actually being productive that is because that'd just make it all more torturous.
