I’m sorry for anybody living in the US right now. The only hope is that it will get better, in the far future, when all those billionaires will have transported themselves to Mars. Then you may find some peace, I guess.

Yeah I do that too. When I get really enthusiastic about something, I can talk about it for hours. So, it exists.

I was told it is apparently an ADHD thing. Because some people I used to meet, did the same thing, about their favorite topic each. So, it’s an ADHD thing, apparently.

But I’m glad you can bring up the mental energy to talk about a topic for a long time! That means you’re healthy :-) (imo)

reminds me of this:

Life is like a dramatic river flowing through the rapids.

I have gained so many things in life, and lost them again, and gained others, and lost them again.

I do not predict the future. Let’s wait and see.

May I suggest something?

In some countries (like Germany) they have special hotels which are essentially free or low-cost, which have the sole purpose of helping women or people in a difficult, abusive relationship gather some distance from their abusive partner. In German they’re called “Frauenhäuser” (women’s houses). Maybe such a thing exists where you live, too?

I’m sorry for your encounter. They were an asshole and it’s not your fault. Such encounters exist, but are rare. I hope you will be able to see that these cases aren’t the “normal scenario”, and not something that you will always have to expect. Hope that helps you :)

I just wanted to say I read the whole post with an incredibly southern accent.

Experiences: Why did you do it, how did you feel afterwards, did you regret it, did anything change in you afterwards?

Isn’t the internet anonymous enough for you?

I wanted to add that i really really really did not want to hurt her. I’m just that dense (even if you can’t imagine it) and my instincts told me that would be a fine thing to do.
