How do you deal with your closed ones giving your critics / are not satisfied / frustrated ? I’m kind of exhausted of people always giving me remarks on how I live etc. They say I’m close minded because I take it personally but it’s honestly exhausting and annoying. Any advice ?

I agree with you. They can learn to be less annoying no less than you can learn to be less sensitive.

True! Thanks I’ll keep this as reminder.

I have learnt to limit disclose of information thats a trigger. I've also learnt the art of diversion. I'm very sensitive, but I manage how much people know and the topics discussed. It might be rude but if a family member starts to give unsolicited advice, I interrupt them and say I have to go somewhere, if they persist and say sorry I'm so bored with talking about me and then I pick a hot topic for them to rambling on. Finally if they are super close to me and I have a one on one explaining my trigger topics. It's worked wonders. Best of luck!

Maybe I’m biased due to having poor luck, but why is dating so hard? Everyone just wants the next best thing and no one is ever satisfied. One argument and people sprint for the door instead of reconciling as they have “options.”

People on dating apps seem like they’re only on there to validate themselves to feel better when they get “likes” or “swipes,” but will not respond when messaged.

I honestly don’t think true love is a real thing.

Additional Posts in Depression/Anxiety Talk

Wanted to share smth I found recently. I felt like it was pretty darn accurate. I’ll provide the link here but there’s a screenshot I took that I feel I can relate to quite heavily. https://pairedlife.com/love/infatuations

I’ve struggled with so many heavy infatuations before and a friend recommended this. Hope it helps anyone else out there who’s gone through this or may be going through this right now.
