I have fond childhood memories of playing Doom 3 with the lights off in my basement. Scariest shit ever.

Also Metal Gear Solid 2 stands out as a game that blew my mind.

Yea. That sounds like it’s getting unhealthy. You might wanna take a break on that. I’m not a therapist but i think the criteria for an addiction is something like:

• is it impacting your daily life if you can’t have it?

• is it causing issues with personal relationships?

• is it causing health issues?

Well are you using sex to feel better about things that are upsetting? Like people who are addicted to nicotine will immediately think of that the second they get bad news or feel anxious. It’s the first thing that comes to mind to use to immediately feel better. Do you feel that way but with sex? If not then you’re probably okay.

As a stoned person in their 30s, I have no idea what to say here. I guess I’ll try:

OP, I think you’re just doing what 21 year old kids do. You’re experiencing life and grieving a break-up. If you like banging this douche-bro and you’re safe, then I say keep doing it as long as you’re getting what you want. As soon as you’re not, break it off. And if you ever feel unsafe then end it immediately.

You’ll get over you’re ex and move on and have other relationships. Nothing you’re saying here sounds out of the ordinary or surprising. You’ll be aight. Just make sure you’re not using sex as a coping mechanism and maybe take some time to chill and just be single. See some friends. Play some games. Eat some fancy food. Just chill and re-evaluate things when you feel better.

Edit: Just checked OP’s post history. OP, you are absolutely not chillin right now. You gotta chill.

Right. But 0.08 is still very inebriated is my point. Regardless of if you feel it or not. I’m sure some people who drink a lot probably feel that 0.08 means they’re totally fine, however this is objectively false.

For me, 0.08 BAC would mean I feel drunk as shit. Other people may not feel it. The fact that people think it’s too low is baffling.

Haha lore-wise very true.

How in the actual fuck has no one said Face/Off?

The way you wrote this sounds sus. It sounds like you suddenly want to get back with him because he got a huge house in cali.

Nope. But I think it makes the communities feel fake and un-authentic. As I mentioned, certain pictures/videos are clearly designed to drive traffic to their onlyfans. It becomes about money rather than passion. Totally not sexy at all. Also many of these people aren’t even the ones posting. They have agents do it for them.

Why did you repost this? You posted this 9 hours ago here…

Money.

I just want to complain about how every single NSFW community on Lemmy is essentially a giant advertisement for Onlyfans. Every single OP who posts pictures/videos has a giant link to their Onlyfans in their profile. It’s such garbage. I’ve seen people censor their photos here as an obvious bait plot to drive traffic to their uncensored onlyfans. Unfortunately the mods of these communities don’t seem to give a fuck.

No but everyone asks it. So at this point I would assume it’s a standard question that you’ll be asked.

Lol wut? Like every company asks that question.

Idk why your post is getting downvoted. I’m starting to think people on Lemmy hate sex (except on nsfw communities.) I think our favorite is good old fashioned missionary. It’s always a hit.

Why are people up voting this blatently incorrect claim?

I feel like I’m cheating. I know it sounds dumb but I just have this annoying guilty conscience… I’m scared.

You’re obviously not cheating considering you’re not in a relationship with your ex. I think you know that you’re not. I will repeat though - take time to be single. You’ll know when you’re ready to date because you won’t feel guilt or shame. You’ll just be ready.

I’m sorry u got cheated on

It makes for funny stories tbh. My wife 's friends think my crazy ex-gf stories are ridiculous. They’re not just straight forward cheating stories. They have twists and turns.

I sound like a hoe or something but idk.

No you don’t. That’s a pretty normal thing people do. I did that too. I had my sleeping around phase. I’m not gonna tell young people not to have lots of sex. I think that’s something that can be fun when you’re young, if it’s done respectfully and safely.

Everything you’re describing is completely normal. Please believe me when I say that I was put through HELL with past relationships in my youth. 2 of the girls cheated on me, one of which I was absolutely madly in love with. One relationship was just absolutely toxic in every way. But you know what? I don’t regret the relationships at all because they tought me valuable lessons that I still use in my current relationship. I’m married now and I love my wife. It’s a great marriage. Things turned out fine. You’re gonna be totally fine! Just get out there and try to meet new people. Do whatever you can to meet new friends and potential partners. You’re gonna be totally fine.

Make sure you give yourself the opportunity to move on though. If you’re not ready for a rebound then DON’T date right now. That’s why I suggested taking at least a few months to be single. After my last relationship peior to my current one, I took 6-8 months off from dating. It was the best decision I ever made. I had to do a lot of self improvement and personal growth before I was ready to date again. I had to take care of my mental health. I had to take care of ME.

Make an effort to see the 2 friends you mentioned. Join some clubs maybe. Just do whatever you can to improve the situation. You’re so young! Enjoy yourself. Really, if there was one piece of advice I could give my younger self, it boils down to “you’re young. Stfu and enjoy your youth. Relationships at your age aren’t the most important thing. Self development and experiences are way more important.”
