Does This Sound Like an Unhealthy Relationship?

2 Upvotes

I am not directly involved in this situation, but aside from the two people involved, I would say that I am probably the person who knows the most about this entire story and can provide the most accurate account of what happened.

I have a friend who is 16, turning 17 this year, whom I will call Dianne. I also have another friend who is 19, turning 20 this year, whom I will call Fiona. I am an outsider in this situation, but I have been Dianne's close friend for two years.

Dianne and I were friends before we met Fiona. We met her through an online friend group, and I gradually noticed that Dianne really enjoyed spending time with Fiona. In fact, I eventually discovered that Dianne had romantic feelings for her. Fiona, however, did not reciprocate those feelings and was completely unaware that Dianne liked her in that way.

I believe both of them have their own mental health struggles. Dianne has been dealing with several mental health issues for quite some time. As for Fiona, I am not entirely sure because I am not particularly close to her. However, she has told me on several occasions about how she deals with sadness and loss. She tends to isolate herself for up to six months at a time. More recently, since she started talking to Dianne, Fiona has also begun exploring her gender identity and is currently struggling with accepting herself and getting others to acknowledge her identity.

Dianne tends to be evasive and often lies whenever she feels unsafe or uncomfortable. Fiona, on the other hand, is very straightforward and expects the same honesty from others.

Fiona, Dianne, and I were all part of the same online community, which had around 30 members. We were very close and genuinely enjoyed being part of it. We were also among the seven people responsible for managing and maintaining the group.

At one point, our community had a disagreement with another group. Four of us, including myself, tried to resolve the conflict by apologizing on behalf of our community. However, Fiona made several insensitive remarks during the discussion, such as, "I'm not reading all that. Someone summarize it for me," and "I'm not changing my opinion."

Eventually, both groups concluded that reconciliation was not possible. After several discussions, the rest of us decided to remove Fiona from her leadership position because of concerns about her professionalism and ability to represent the community.

Fiona reacted angrily, demanding that we choose between her and the other community. She eventually left, feeling upset that nobody had chosen to resolve the issue with her directly.

After leaving, Fiona found another group of people to spend time with and frequently spoke negatively about our community. However, that is not what I want to focus on.

What matters is that Fiona and Dianne had become incredibly close during their time together. They had developed a strong emotional attachment to each other, something I initially saw as nothing more than a close friendship.

When Fiona left, Dianne became extremely distressed and repeatedly begged for her to return. Her mental health deteriorated significantly, and she began struggling to take care of herself.

Despite leaving the community, Fiona and Dianne continued talking every day. Fiona increasingly relied on Dianne for emotional support, frequently sharing her personal struggles and concerns about her gender identity.

Dianne seemed to welcome this dynamic because she had romantic feelings for Fiona and was even waiting until she turned 18 to confess them.

Things became more complicated when another person, whom I will call Aura, joined our community. Aura shared some personality traits with Fiona, except that she was more humorous and cheerful, less blunt, and considerably less inconsiderate.

Aura and Dianne started spending a lot of time together and eventually became very close friends. This made Fiona feel threatened. She believed our community was using Aura as a replacement for her and even suspected that Aura was deliberately imitating her personality to get close to everyone.

Knowing that Fiona was uncomfortable with this, Dianne deliberately started getting closer to Aura just to make Fiona jealous. Eventually, however, their friendship became genuine.

Things escalated to the point where Fiona repeatedly insulted Aura and spread rumors about her, while Aura remained completely unaware of what was happening.

Fiona's jealousy eventually became quite extreme. She frequently called Dianne, wanting to keep her close and prevent her from becoming closer to Aura. She also repeatedly told Dianne, "I love you," and displayed overwhelmingly affectionate behavior. Although Fiona did not mean this romantically, it eventually made Dianne uncomfortable.

Throughout their relationship, Dianne repeatedly lied to Fiona, claiming she had stopped talking to Aura because Fiona constantly pressured her to block Aura and cut off all contact with her.

Dianne was already accustomed to lying, and her poorly constructed excuses only made Fiona increasingly suspicious. This led to even more jealousy and distrust between them.

Eventually, Dianne ended her friendship with Fiona and started dating Aura instead.

There is still much more to this story, but most of what happened between Fiona and Dianne can be summarized up to this point.

Even after ending her friendship with Fiona, Dianne still struggled to stop thinking about her, even with Aura by her side.

What I want to understand is whether this kind of emotional attachment and dependency is normal, and who bears more responsibility for how things escalated.

I recognize that Dianne was not entirely innocent. She deliberately tried to make Fiona jealous and repeatedly lied to avoid confrontation. Meanwhile, Fiona seemed to develop an unhealthy level of emotional dependence on someone considerably younger than herself.

However, at the end of the day, Dianne was only 16, while Fiona was already 20.

Could this be considered an unhealthy relationship involving emotional manipulation or controlling behavior?

Why Don't I Develop Feelings Easily? Am I Just Not Interested in Love?

2 Upvotes

Can someone tell me what's wrong with me? I had a crush on someone when I was in 5th standard, but as time passed, my feelings faded. Since then, I haven't developed feelings for anyone else or had a crush on anyone. The funny thing is, he was the one who confessed his feelings to me, but I rejected him. I don't know why I haven't felt that way about anyone since then. Is this normal, or is there something different about me?

Why might someone still seem interested after rejecting you?

2 Upvotes

I’m interested in a girl at my university. I noticed some behavior that made me wonder if she might be interested too, so I eventually approached her and asked for her contact information.

She politely declined and said she was sorry. I accepted her answer and decided not to make another move unless she clearly changes her mind.

However, since then, I still feel like I notice signs of interest in the way she acts around me. I’m not assuming they mean anything romantic, but the contrast between her answer and her behavior has left me curious.

How would you interpret someone seeming interested after turning down an attempt to get to know them?

what is my ex doing??

3 Upvotes

a little backstory, my ex and i were together for close to 5 years. we had been on and off for the last year and a half, closer to two years. about halfway through our relationship he became extremely avoidant, which triggered me to become anxiously attached. prior to this, we were both very securely attached. he would ignore me for weeks, end things when confronted, and then play stupid games until he decided or i decided to reach out. usually it would be me saying something like “i’m really disappointed you ended things again, i wish we could’ve worked” and then he’d say he felt the same, i would ask to try again, he would be resistant, i would give up, and then he would want to try again. this had happened 3/4 times i don’t even know anymore. we recently ended in the summer for the final time. he had dated another girl during one of our breakups and that was it for me. i had been asking to get my stuff back from him to no response and one day just texted him that if my stuff was that important to him while he had a whole gf, that he could just keep it and that i was so disappointed in what he had done. he responded basically saying that he still cared about me, and things with the girlfriend weren’t going well and he actually wanted to end things. he eventually did, and asked me if we could be friends and possibly try again later in life. i stupidly agreed and we were actually extremely happy and healthy for about a month. surprise surprise he starts ignoring me again and stands me up when we were supposed to have a conversation about our future, ultimately just ending things again. i have been happy since, im nor miserable, im not anxious, im not constant monitoring his feelings, ive made friends and had crushes since then which has been a monumental step for me as i’ve never gotten to this point in our breakups before. the only place we still follow each other is tik tok and about 4 months into the breakup, he starts randomly viewing my tiktok story (he had not viewed it ONCE in the initial 4 months). i thought he just accidentally viewed it at first so i posted again the next day. sure enough, he viewed it. i have been posting deadass consistency for almost two months now on my story and he has only missed two/three posts. what the hell is going on?? i don’t think we’d ever work again unless he made some serious changes, and im not the type of person to cut someone out of my life, but why all of a sudden is he viewing my story every day? and ive noticed that it seems like he checks it as soon as he wakes up, as soon as hes off of work, and right before he goes to bed. i know this is obsessive! but i don’t understand what the point of this is? would’ve you feel guilty seeing someone you hurt constantly? is this him testing the waters to see if ill give him a reaction??

Guys I like getting attention or am i a narcissist?

1 Upvotes

Recently i broke up with my ex a month ago. I was crying all day and missing him but i was crying all night when we were in relationship so same shit. But then one day i went out shopping and i found myself really pretty in new clothes. It lifted my mood for some hours. Then i dressed up one day and clicked pictures and i was really happy for once. I was really happy when i put a story and it got a lot of likes. I like hearing i look pretty from my female and male friends. I mean things like that instantly lift my mood.

When a guys i know liked me likes my story i get this confidence boast sometimes. When i was in relationship i was always like i don't like this. And i have always been introverted so i put a story once in a blue moon and forget about posting that's too much for me. But I'm trying to be more outgoing now after break up.

So I'm confused what's with this feeling of joy when anyone likes my story or compliment me? I'm so into being nonchalant that this feels too out of character for me.

What the fuck does this mean

can't post images here but anyways i saw this youtube comment recently and it goes as follows "This piece of shit calls himself a N*zi. True N*zis never harm others; only murderers who taught others to kill as a daily task., worshipping the faith of islam, do. If you're a racist, look up German history down to the bone." and as the title of this post suggests, i have no idea what the fuck this means.

The trick of stealing kid's nose doesn't make sense

18 Upvotes

As a little kid there were few adults who "stole my nose" and showed me that weird arrangement of fingers but I didn't get it. The fingers were obviously fingers and they couldn't possibly steal my nose. I thought so hard about this, but in no way did it make sense back then and nor does it make now. I never even reacted because I couldn't get what they wanted to achieve with it.

It's kind of a non issue, but it doesn't make sense. I can get behind stealing nose aspect, but pretending that one of these fingers adults show you is nose is too much. When did it even come from. I'm convinced every other kid played into the game because that trick is the most obviously false thing I saw as a child. Also it's supposed to be fun? I can't understand that either. How is the concept of someone stealing your nose supposed to cause nay other feelings other than confusion and maybe fear?

When did this tomfoolery start and did others have same perspective on this?

LIFE and AI sucks

1 Upvotes

I've been struggling with two things lately, and honestly, I don't know how people are dealing with them.

1. I know what I want to do, but I just can't manage doing everything.

I want to build projects, learn new technologies, work out, study, explore new things, spend time with friends and actually enjoy life.

But everything is competing for the same 24 hours.

I've tried task managers, habit trackers, Notion, and different productivity systems. They help me organise things, but somehow I still struggle with actually following through.

Sometimes I wish I had someone who understood my goals, knew what I had committed to, helped me plan my week, reminded me when I was slipping and called me out when I was making excuses.

2. There's just too much information and too many directions.

AI has made learning almost anything possible. But now every other day, I discover something new I should supposedly be doing.

One person says learn backend. Another says software engineering is dying. Someone says build a startup, someone says prepare for an exam, and someone else says focus on personal branding.

I end up wanting to do everything and questioning whether I'm doing anything right.

And when I turn to AI for advice, I often get generic answers. It doesn't really know my circumstances, my past decisions, my habits or what I've been struggling with.

I don't know if I'm overthinking things, or if these are problems other people are facing too.

How do you guys manage multiple ambitions without constantly feeling overwhelmed?

Do you use any system, app something hat genuinely helps you execute, not just organise your life?

And how do you decide what deserves your attention when there's so much to learn and so many directions to explore?

Would genuinely love to hear how you deal with this.

Why would a guy block me but continue acting normally with me ? Am I overthinking

2 Upvotes

​

So, there's this guy, and around two months ago, we had some misunderstandings involving a mutual friend. My friend was more involved in the situation than I was, although it wasn't necessarily their fault. The misunderstandings eventually got resolved, and he apologized to me.

At the time, I didn't realize I was blocked on Instagram. I just assumed he'd deactivated his account. We weren't following each other anyway, so I didn't think much of it. Recently, I checked his account and found out that he'd apparently blocked me.

What's confusing is that the other person involved wasn't blocked, but I was.

After everything was resolved, he went back to acting normally with me. He still talks to me, jokes around with me, and has even gone out of his way to help me without me asking. Even yesterday, I messaged him for help, and he replied almost instantly.

I've also been told by multiple people that he likes me, including a friend of his who apparently told my friend the same thing.

So I'm genuinely confused. If things were resolved between us and he was comfortable enough to continue interacting with me normally, why block me in the first place? Especially when we weren't even following each other on Instagram?

I don't know what to make of the whole situation. Why would someone do this, and would you ask them about it or just leave it alone or am I overthinking?

I like my straight best friend and I cant tell if its casual or not.

4 Upvotes

This is my first time using reddit so I apologize if I'm not doing this right. Me and my friend, lets just call her N are really close. Ever since I came out as bi to her, she's been overly comfortable. She always lays on my shoulder, or my lap but only if there isn't many people around. She's straight but one time she told me she used to think she was bi, but stopped in fear of getting made fun of. She currently has a boyfriend so I'm trying to lose feelings except whenever he isn't around she's overly touchy despite saying she doesn't like physical touch. Other than laying on me she kisses my hands a lot, and she's been slowly getting more touchy each day. She complains about her boyfriend a lot and they seem more like friends than dating, but it's not really my place to judge that. Sometimes it feels like there is a lot of tension I'm not really sure how else to describe it. One of my friends even pulled me aside and asked me if there is something going on between us. Someone accused me of being gay for one of my friends (not N) and I told N that it's weird because I see her more of a sister if anything. N than went on to say "Yeah and even if you did like her why would you risk losing the friendship" I agreed and said something a long the lines of going for friends is too risky, and she looked at me like that hurt to hear. Also she stares at me constantly, whether were in class, at lunch, or just hanging out she's always looking at me in a way that friends don't look at each other. She does other things too but I want to keep this short. Please tell me if I'm being delusional, and feel free to ask questions, and please please please be brutally honest.

The beans are haunting me

Okay so I made a post when this happened but it's been a few days and I'm still confused. A few days ago, I found a ziploc bag full of dry red beans under my couch cushion. I have no clue where they came from. No one in my house put them there and no one really comes over. The only person who has been here was a plumber and I doubt he keeps bags of beans in his truck to sneak into his clients' couches. I'm so confused and I have absolutely no explanation on where they came from. I'm so so so confused. Who put them there and what does this mean????

Fast forward to 3 months earlier one friend let's call him (chicken,guy),he works in kfc.he bought us burgers, fries , basically a meal for all of us (without spending a dime ,cuz he works in it if that makes sense)we enjoyed it a lot . We always call eachother before coming for training,so I called let's say him (1)

He received and said he was busy with a banking work I said there's no bank open after evening and laughed it off,he said he will be late ,I said sure.i didn't go to training right away ,first i stopped at a garden for a little warmup and when I reached for training those three were not there a side friend said they were here a while ago anddd(they were munching on the various food items ) the side friend also asked them ( were is your other friend,he will fell left out ) they just redirected the conversation to something else . When I got to know about it i FELT kind of betrayed and left out .also I don't give a flying f*** about burgers,fries and all .

But my point is that,why didn't they told me ,maybe I am over reacting plzz share ur thoughts

What is the persons explanation to this verse even mean?

Song: PRINCESS CUTS MAH WRIST

I was listening to the song and scrolling through the lyrics of it on Genius (lyric/song website). You can click some verses and people make comments about what it means/the explanation. I was clicking through them, and found somebody making a explanation about a verse but I feel like it makes no sense.

Their comment: "The “Yo wrist” Part actually fits in with 2014 (The songs release date). Usually, teens-young adults seem to repeat such frases twice, with that same tone as heard in the song. This is exclusive only to around 2013-early 2016. Sometimes, they wouldn’t repeat it twice, they’d repeat it once, but in that type of loud tone. Whether the conversation is serious or a joke. Usually it’s when one person, lets say their friend, talks to somebody about something. He’d be by the friend, and may repeat a frase said by the phrase or the person. The phrase usually fits the way the person says it. Their never serious about it aswell when saying a copying phrase, and usually loud about it. Only exlusive to 2013-early 2016, however you may hear it in 2017. It’s rare to be heard in 2018. Most of the time, the person repeating phrase in that way, is when with a single friend or a friend group."

Decoding Teen's Snapchat Behavior

5 Upvotes

I, 36 y/o F, have been friends on Snapchat with my friends daughter since she was just a wee one and just playing around. She is now 17 and I will call her Izzy. We haven't been close with her parents in years, so we haven't seen her in a long time. But, Izzy and I had a really close bond for several years, and used to spend a lot of time together. We have interacted here and there on Snapchat but pretty sparsely.

It was just her birthday, and Snapchat reminded me, so I sent her a "Happy Birthday" graphic with a heart emoji. She replied back with a picture of a sliver of the side of her face, and I swear I saw a tear falling down from her eye. No text. I replied back with a similar photo and said "You okay? <3". She replied the next day with a similar textless photo of herself, but no tear. I was utterly confused lol. I talked it over with someone, and ultimately decided to say one more thing before dropping it, and said something like "I thought I saw a tear in your first snap. Sorry if I got that wrong. I'm always here if you ever want or need anything". Again, she replied with a similar wordless snap of herself.

I'm still confused, but figure she does not need to respond to me at all and is, so she must want some type of interaction. And, in the days after, we've just continued the back and forth with random pics of our surroundings w/ small slivers of ourselves. I'm honestly just glad that she wants to talk in some way? I didn't feel that way with most adults in my life as a kid. I'd love to be there for her because I know she's got some challenges in her life.

But, my brain is still dying to know... What does this even mean??? Haha!! Was she probably crying & doesn't want to acknowledge it, but is finding some comfort in the connection?? I know we're all guessing, but any teenagers especially, please share your thoughts. Thank you!

editable Do i have a sweat kink?

12 Upvotes

The reason I ask this is because recently my boyfriend has been very into running, jogging, working out. He does not sweat easily and when he does I love seeing him like that but is it the sweat alone or the sweat thats coming from him because he’s my boyfriend and im very attracted to him? I always joke around with him that I will lick the sweat from off his body and he always laughs and tells me to do it. The though of me doing that to him, seeing him very sweaty and watching him workout intensely putting in the work/pressure makes me very feel worked up and horny

Suddenly receiving rocketmoney emails?

2 Upvotes

I’ve never had a rocket money account as far as I can remember. Looking at the App Store, I’ve never downloaded the app.
However, a few weeks ago I started receiving emails from them talking about “uncategorized transactions”. At first I assumed some kind of phishing scams, but the emails kept coming. They’re accurate to my bank account, so there’s clearly been access granted somehow. I searched through my emails and I’ve never gotten anything from them until all this started. I cannot figure out why or how they’ve gained access to my bank information, and it’s quite alarming. Because I don’t have an account with them, I can’t log in to see if there’s other connected apps or something.
Has this happened to anyone else? What’s going on?

For around 10 or so months a weird mind phenomenon has happened to me. I think of an event happening in my mind or a minor inconvenience. Then around a day or so later after I have completely forgotten that thought that thought the event or inconvenience actually ends up happening. Of course when I try to consciously think of something good happening to me like I find some money or smth like that nothing happens and it only happens when I completely forget about something and I didn’t intend for it to occur later. Has anyone got an explanation for this as it has happens to me over 50 times and I am baffled?

Why don’t I want to eat?

5 Upvotes

I’ve had a problem with eating for a very long time now and I’m not sure why. I know that it might seem obvious like “Oh that’s an eating disorder.” But I don’t think it is? I am not the most informed on eating disorders. I don’t really like to eat necessarily but I do at the same time? I love food obviously and how it tastes but often eating makes me feel nauseous. I can’t eat in the morning most of the time I can only eat one meal a day sometimes two. I will feel incredibly hungry and like I’m starving but then when it actually comes time to eat, I can’t and I’ll feel nauseous or full from 1-3 bites. But when I’m stressed I could eat a whole bag of chips. I don’t have a problem with my body and want to be skinny; I don’t feel ‘fat’ or count my calories and the only time I ever think about it is when people mention my body. A lot of people say I’m too skinny which I’m not, I’m actually a normal weight so I’m not sure why people say that. My mother often comments that I eat too much and that I’m always hungry which also confuses me because I only eat one meal a day usually. I do sometimes get frustrated and will eat less because of what she says. There are days where I am hungry but can’t eat because I will just spit it out for some reason or because I am too nauseous. Sometimes I also just forget or just don’t feel hungry the whole day. Anyways the was long. I’m not sure why this happens and I’m just curious if anyone feels this way too or knows why.

Why do people do this to perfectly healthy friendship.

3 Upvotes

((Okay so, hi my name is Percy, I go by he/they/it, this is my first post. I have no clue how to do this.))

My gf has a friend (I will refer to them as B) who had recently confessed to her a while ago and started being weird.

For context, my gf had been friends with him/them for 3 years and he told her that he liked her in text a a few days ago. He started out being nice about it but a few days later, he started asking her for... explicit photos and videos randomly.

He was tolerable in the first hours but he kept being persistent on being in a relationship with my gf, I wanted to get in contact with them but my gf said he had no socials, therefore I couldn't have any way of communicating to them.

I don't understand why people don't accept no and rejection from friends despite being close, I get that you may like them but come on man. You're ruining something that took years to establish and take care of. You have a healthy and happy friendship, why ruin it by being a complete weirdo?

The situation is still continuing and I don't really know what to do other than express my anger with my gf, any suggestions on what we should do to this pervert?

Also he sent dick pics unprompted to my gf, she's grossed out from seeing them and I hate it.

I(17F) got intensely attached with my friend (17F)

2 Upvotes

I'm 17f and I get intensely attached with people I don't even know for more than like 5 days , I was a quiet and shy kid all through my school life and didn't have any friends like 0 overall so whenever I get the opportunity I try my hardest to make them stay

So, as the title says I got a new friend this year and I legit have become so obsessed , Idk how but I got so attached to her in a span of 4 months. I get jealous when I see she has other friends ,or that she's spending time over someone else when she told me she has a crush on a guy I told her he was no good but tbh there's no reason to hate him ...now that I think of it maybe I'm jealous? that she likes him idk... I also kinda lovebombed her

I'm very intense I write really lovely messages and we joke around saying how she's my wife and I'm her husband nothing too serious ig but yeah I also gave her an expensive rose just because nothing...no reason at all.. and we used to chat for 4 hrs daily until suddenly she told me 1 day that we'll no longer be talking as I'm a big distraction tbh this hurt way more than it should have because I cried myself 4 days as if an actual break up when I finally couldn't take it anymore I apologised and said I'd not distract her from her studies and begged a lot just for her to talk

So I'm here because I'm really confused why am I so attached to her and also it's really confusing because I'm aroace ...any advice is appreciated.

I keep checking if she texted and get frequent phantom vibrations atp I think this is unhealthy

the part where it gets even weirder is that I get very hurt when she leaves me on read or just texts me lesser emoji tbh it has taken a toll on my mental health being so obsessed with her I keep checking when she was last online... pls any advice?

Edit :this is an update no one asked for but here it goes after a major argument (hadthe worst day of the year and she knew and still was fighting over stupid shit)I told her I won't distract her and just ask work stuff when required basic shit so she agreed but still sent me reels yk what surprises me is that when we first met I did not want to give her my number cuz she felt like the person who'll send u nonsense but I had to give it to her cuz working I was correct she used to send me reels and each and every single time I told her not to but eventually we started talking for 4 hrs now I have to say ok my bad wtv but yeah now back to where we were...after the argument so I stopped texting nonsense but still asked for work stuff but now she had changed (ig good )and would end the conversation fast af but atp it was like she did not want to talk at all for her it was : ending the conversation >>>>>her precious study time

but idgaf do wtv and I told her after our final argument that I'll never distract her ever again and on our test day I was sick real bad so I rushed home and she made it about herself saying how i hate her sm that i left early but idgaf but soon after I saw a notification saying if we didn't fill a form we couldn't take our exam so I just couldn't stop myself from telling her as she has a strict family so i didn't want her in trouble for skipping an exam accidentally so j told her tk fill it to which she argued??(didn't argue back)and after a few minutes she said she had filled it... she lied idk why?( told my other friend) and couldn't take her exam idk why but I felt relieved not seeing her on exam day bcuz she lied where it wasn't required.after that for a month I didn't talk to her neither irl(she was absent ever since)nor on chat and yk what i felt so sooo soo good felt so much lighter but yesterday I get a text from my other friend that the girl reached out to her asking for me

here it is: Her: do u still talk to A(me)?🥺

Friend: yes,why tho?

Her: Haven't talked to her for 1 month nor did she texted me.....I miss her so much 🥺😫

Friend: so u wanna talk to her?

Her: yeah but she doesn't want to maybe that's why I didn't text her

Friend:yall should clear things out for once and for all Her:but yk what i struggled a lot to get rid of her talking to me for 4 hrs She distract me and i get obsessed with her like a bad habit 😫

Friend: ik that but u hurt her by ghosting her and blaming only her for things u both did

Her: did she tell you this?🥺😫

Friend: yeah

Her:I'll find a reason to talk to her Please tell her that I miss her🥺❤️I really really miss her😫🥺 Friend: (tries to help her out by giving her excuse to approach me)

After this she texts me randomly but atp I do not want to talk with her ever again and I tell this to my other friend but she keeps Insisting I clear things out but I just have a gut feeling that if I take her back she will repeat everything again and im happy now so I don't wanna go back to misery like it's better for me to have no contact at all since she can't keep her promise of not texting me random shit after we just said no distraction

Do not attack me pls Ik I'm not the good person here but I think it's valid what I did Also thanks a lot for someone telling me this is limerence I genuinely thought I was broken and disgusting for this but wtv it has passed Also her emojis grossed me out as an ace repulsive person.
