If a man has no self control he is a weak man. True high value has nothing to do with looks, how much or little money you have or how tall you are. If he doesn't have self control, he's a liability to you and your (future) children. If you accept his unacceptable behaviour he knows that he can treat you badly. (Full video)

It’s been on my mind lately how men seem to be more infatuated with the idea of me rather than who I truly am. They’re enamored with the fantasy they’ve built around me. But it struck me – am I guilty of the same thing? Whenever I develop feelings for someone, I find myself drawn to the idea of them, crafting an image in my mind that doesn’t always align with reality. In my imagination, they can be anything I want them to be. Yet, once I truly get to know them, I often find myself disappointed and losing interest. What does this say about me?

This self reflection has led me to wonder why I behave this way. Perhaps I yearn for perfection or shy away from vulnerability, leading me to create idealized versions of men. These fantasies might serve as an escape from reality or a way to fulfill unmet desires. Furthermore, idealization can build emotional walls, obstructing the path to authentic intimacy.

In my journey of self-reflection, I’ve also looked into astrology and my birth chart. Venus, the planet of love and attraction, along with the Moon, which represents emotions and nurturing, has provided insights into my approach to romance and emotional fulfillment. Additionally, examining Neptune’s influence on idealism and fantasies, as well as the 7th House, which governs partnerships, has shed light on my tendencies in relationships. Furthermore, exploring the 12th House, associated with hidden realms and subconscious patterns, has uncovered unconscious motivations that influence my interactions. Integrating these astrological insights with my personal reflections has deepened my understanding of my relationship dynamics and offered avenues for growth.

In essence, my journey of self-discovery teaches me that true fulfillment lies in embracing my authentic self and both attracting and building connections based on mutual understanding and acceptance. I long for true love, for someone who can embrace all my seasons and truly see and love me for who I am. Likewise, I aspire to be that person for them—a companion to grow with and draw closer to, navigating life’s journey together.

We should hold each other more while we are still alive, even if it hurts.

When there’s no intimacy with someone the connection of talking deeply and about everything together, communicating genuine feelings and thoughts doesn’t exist. When this doesn’t exist there’s always that feeling of awkwardness like you just met them. There’s no knowledge of each other past basics. It feels empty, it makes you feel empty. You miss little things about each other like simple knowledge of each other, you miss the mark on what kind of birthday they like best. A true friend would know all the little things about you. Would know what kind of clothes to pick out for you, or maybe if you like this or that. Real love MUST have that natural connection, MUST have that natural instinct and drive to help them or give them affection or do something for them like fill up their gas tank for when they have to go to work in the morning even though you’re not driving that car, and in no way does it benefit you in the slightest; THAT’S real love, and can it only be love; love is when you do things for the other that benefits you in no way. Without that natural desire and drive to do these things for them, love doesn’t exist in the relationship.

I can relate a lot to everything in the infographic about depersonalization and most (not sure of some) of derealization, but I don't feel anything when I'm talking about my past... It's just weird, sometimes it seems so far away that it is almost like a game I once played or like reading a story in a book.

My memory is so fuzzy that it feels like my brain has filled in MANY gaps in my brain with imagination, leaving only what logically happened.

And memories are hard to tell if they affect me or not... I don't really know what it's like to feel emotionally connected to a memory, really. This is weird, right? ^^'

I don't know why I feel this way, but I would be happy if y'all could explain a little bit about what it's like to feel "emotionally connected" and "emotionally disconnected" from a memory. It's ok if y'all don't, I just needed to tell :)

Sure.

So we used to have this dog. She passed away a few years ago, but she was my very best friend. When I look back on memories we shared together, I feel emotional. I miss her, I feel nostalgic, I feel joy recalling fond moments, and pain when I recall how she passed. In this way, I am emotionally connected to the memories I have of her. I can remember the emotions I felt in the past when I was with her, and I feel emotional simply thinking about our lives together.

Conversely, I have tons of other memories I feel completely disconnected from. I’m cocon often, so I can remember a lot of what happens in our daily life, but those memories don’t ever feel like mine.

A few weeks ago, Margo had to deescalate a situation with a customer at work. The guy had his hand on his gun and was shouting because a different store had messed up his order. She was able to effectively get him to calm down, no one was shot, and he got his order and left. I guess in the moment we were scared… but when I look back at that memory, it doesn’t feel scary to me. I don’t feel anything at all. It’s like I can watch a memory that belongs to someone else, without feeling anything that was felt at the time, and without having any sort of emotional reaction to it.

When dealing with symptoms of depersonalization and derealization, it’s common to have a fuzzy memory. It’s common to think of your memories as something you’ve heard from someone else, read in a story, watched in a movie, or played in a video game, rather than something that actually happened to you.

My memory is incredibly spotty, and like you, I also have huge gaps that are filled in by my imagination or what I believe logically could have happened. I don’t feel emotionally connected to many of my memories at all, but there are a select few that I cherish or can’t escape from, which I’m extremely connected to.

If you deal with DPDR, it’s not weird to be unable to tell whether or not you feel connected to your memories. I feel like many of us in the system encounter that when thinking about our past. I have a strong emotional connection to memories of our dog that passed, but that’s not shared with many of my alters - even those who interacted with her daily and loved her when she was alive.

I wish there was more I could say or another example I could provide, but it’s weird for us too and I’m struggling to think of another memory I’m connected to in order to share 😅 most of my memories feel like they belong to someone else.

But maybe this could help you somehow? Idk sorry if it can’t. We’re not a professional at all and I may be doing a bad job of explaining. It’s really confusing for me too, and I’m honestly still struggling to understand my own memory and how it works. I’m sorry.

The Path to a Healthy Relationship: Essential Guidelines for Nurturing a Loving Connection

Love, with all its complexities and subtleties, is an ever-evolving journey that requires continuous nurturing and understanding. The foundation of a healthy relationship is built on mutual respect, open communication, and a commitment to growing together. Here are some essential guidelines to help you nurture a strong and loving connection:

1. Practice Open and Honest Communication

Candid communication is vital for building trust and understanding in a relationship. Be willing to express your emotions, needs, and concerns openly, and encourage your partner to do the same. A willingness to be vulnerable can deepen your connection.

2. Be an Active Listener

Listen attentively to your partner's thoughts and feelings without judgment or interruption. Validate their emotions, offer support, and demonstrate that their words and experiences matter to you.

3. Embrace Compromise

Differences are a natural part of any relationship. Instead of allowing conflicts to create a divide, seek mutually acceptable compromises that reflect the needs and perspectives of both partners.

4. Value Individuality

While a shared life is a beautiful aspect of a relationship, it's equally important to embrace and celebrate your individual identities. Encourage one another to pursue personal interests and passions and to grow as individuals.

5. Keep the Flame of Romance Alive

Intimacy and romance play a key role in maintaining a strong connection. Surprise your partner with a heartfelt gesture, plan a romantic date, or simply spend quality time together enjoying each other's company.

6. Cultivate Trust

Trust is the cornerstone of a stable and fulfilling relationship. Be transparent, reliable, and true to your word. Address any concerns that may arise with understanding and empathy, and avoid behaviors that may erode trust.

7. Speak Their Love Language

Understanding and expressing love in a way that resonates with your partner can deepen your emotional bond. Learn their love language—be it acts of service, words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, or receiving gifts—and make an effort to show your love in a way that speaks to their heart.

8. Grow Together

Life is full of changes and challenges. Embrace them as opportunities to learn and grow together. Support each other through life's ups and downs and adapt to new circumstances with grace and empathy.

9. Seek Support When Needed

It's okay to seek support from trusted friends, family members, or professionals if you're facing challenges in your relationship. Couples counseling can provide valuable insights and tools to help you navigate and overcome obstacles together.

10. Cherish the Small Moments

The beauty of a relationship often lies in the simple, everyday moments. Whether it's a smile exchanged over a cup of coffee, a heartfelt conversation, or a shared laugh, cherish these moments and the love they represent.

A healthy and loving relationship is a partnership that requires continuous effort and mutual respect. Remember that love is a journey, and it's the small acts of kindness, understanding, and love that create a lasting and fulfilling connection. Embrace the process and enjoy the journey together.

I saw this and I'm not sure I totally agree with the order, and I think they are all needed. Lacking in one can make for a terrible game. What do your think?

Quote

There are two ways to think about kindness. You can think about it as a fixed trait: Either you have it or you don’t. Or you could think of kindness as a muscle. In some people, that muscle is naturally stronger than in others, but it can grow stronger in everyone with exercise. Think about kindness as a muscle. You have to exercise it to keep it in shape. In other words, that a good relationship requires sustained hard work. “If your partner expresses a need,” explained Julie Gottman, “and you are tired, stressed, or distracted, then the generous spirit comes in when a partner makes a bid, and you still turn toward your partner.” In that moment, the easy response may be to turn away from your partner and focus on your iPad or your book or the television, to mumble “Uh-huh” and move on with your life, but neglecting small moments of emotional connection will slowly wear away at your relationship. Neglect creates distance between partners and breeds resentment in the one who is being ignored.

In the realm of past, present, and future, two souls entwine. Time's fabric unravels, revealing their hearts' design. Love transcends temporal bounds, an eternal dance in the cosmic wind. This fleeting moment, a touch, a whisper, their fates forever intertwined. In the depths of time, love blooms, a testament to destiny entwined.

My father was always emotionally distant, like yeah he could do things you’d consider compassionate or help me in regard to a physical issue, but he wasn’t emotionally empathetic or present in my childhood. There was an emotional connection lost on his end toward me. And I noticed that both energy wise and I just noticed it… he was never “there”, there was always a wall up of some sorts between us. Emotionally he faked things sometimes but I could tell as a child I was being lied to. There was no emotional love. This caused me great anxiety issues growing up and attachment issues and me and my father have no relationship nor have we really ever had a relationship.
