    Why does Dawson's Creek look so old now ?

    Thats because it is haha. My point being, for anyone who was a teen in the 90s, or even early 2000s. It is weird when you get older to watch shows you grew up with and see how actually old they are now. Really though, on Dawsons Creek, i never realized how they were able to just turn up and...

    Dealing with a close friend with delusions

    Didnt know where to put this. Ive had the realisation that (altho I knew) 'Rugs' ( yes the guy I go on and on about - my ex, my friend..) has a delusional disorder of grandeur. Its quite heartbreaking for me. Having social phobia as many here know, means you cut yourself short socially. At...

    Over-doing it with people

    This is just a curiosity if others do this too?

    How would u react? (not intended to bully or persecute)

    Ive been spilling my beans all over this forum for awhile - all caught up in this toxic relationship. He has schizophrenia and the things that come with that are all so over-consuming for me in such stress. When someone acts in ways that disturb you. When there are no boundaries to their...

    Rant/ So sick of feeling like people around me being disrespectful

    Lately, I've felt like I martyr. That (not online/in-person) That Im going out of my way in my job, my partner, my family... and do not get anything back much in return. And I do know that I give back to me- and not rely on others, but when they rely on me all the time. Ive been in a...

    Being social overwhelming?

    I don't know if it's the history of social phobia or not, but I find that I can only really cope with being social with just one person at a time. I have issues with boundaries and assertiveness and feeling for the other person (compassion) together with motivation to help them, that I end up on...

    BF in a rut with no initiative to help himself

    It's just driving me crazy. Aside from my own issues with him as his GF- it's his own self that I am concerned about. He seems so unhealthy physically and behaviourally more than usual lately. In the night times, all he wants to do is go to sleep. He gets so tired. He says he doesn't like the...

    Need an opinion

    So my partner plays electric guitar and tells me he has been playing for 15 years and one of the best in the state. I think he is good, but I'm no guitarist. I cannot tell if he is really good -but not great, good or good-good. I will likely take this off later as I feel it's kinda wrong to put...
