‼️like mild ish emotional neglect/abuse tw?
I'm not really sure where to start since i’ve not really talked about this to anyone at all but i need to get it off my chest somewhere so, uh, I'll just start.
I had been talking to this guy for quite a few months (like November 2025 to May 2026). We hit it off instantly, or so id thought. He was sorta mean, but in the sarcastic, endearing way, so it didn't raise much of a flag for me at the time. But as we continued talking, he progressively seemed to get super agitated with me and would straight up just not interact with or even message me for days on end.
I had expressed to him on multiple occasions that I didn't feel good when he did that, or I would just mention that I didn't like something he said or did toward me. The only type of response he would give me was getting upset that I even brought it up. He would completely misconstrue the words I said and jigsaw them into something fully different, ending with me apologizing for even asking.
He was only ever nice to me when I'd show myself or pictures of myself to him, but he asked for a lot of stuff outside of my comfort zone. So a lot of the time I said no, which resulted in him getting upset and leaving for a large period of time. I eventually got so unbelievably drained from talking to him that I finally cut him off completely, but I still can't stop thinking about him, and it's been months. There was genuinely no redeeming quality about him, yet he's always on my mind no matter what I do. I don't want to have him on my mind, and I especially don't want to be missing him, but I don't know how to get over it, i know it’ll get better and i’ll get over it with time but it just doesn’t feel like it’ll happen anytime soon it feels suffocating.
anyway im having snap peas, mini sweet peppers, random typa meat my dad grilled, and a homemade caesar dip.
