Conversations ideas

...See more Hey guy! I hope you’re all doing great! A few weeks ago I started a mentorship program. I meet my mentor once a week, but honestly, we don’t have much to talk about. I feel a bit bad because he’s 74, rides his bike to see me, and volunteers his time to help me. I’d really appreciate any ideas for things we could discuss or fun activities we could do together!

A little life update

...See more Hi guys! I just wanted to come back here and give you a little life update. A while ago, I wrote to you about my problem I was being pushed into a relationship with someone I never really wanted to be with. At that time I felt so stuck and unhappy. You were all so sweet and supportive to me back then, and your kind words really gave me comfort when I needed it the most. 🫶 Luckily, everything came to light and worked out in my favor. The truth showed itself, and I was finally able to end that relationship. Now I’m free from it and honestly, I feel so much happier and lighter. I just wanted to say thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for being there for me. Your support truly made a difference. 💖 Sending you love & hugs ✨

Tired of being judged

...See more Hi everyone 🤍 I’m not sure how to say this, but I’ll try to keep it real. I actually like talking to people deep conversations, meaningful moments, just feeling understood. But the people around me always seem to judge or ask things that feel too personal. They make me feel like I have to explain myself all the time. Or worse, like something’s wrong with me for wanting a little privacy. So I end up staying quiet, not because I don’t want to talk but because I don’t feel safe doing it with them. Does anyone else feel this way?

Living a Lie

...See more I’m writing here because I don’t have anyone who truly understands what I’m feeling. I’m going through a very difficult experience being engaged to someone I don’t want, simply because he gained my family’s approval. They decided he’s the right person for me. I believe I’m partly to blame for where I am now, because I gave up and stopped trying to convince them but all my attempts were useless. I can’t hide the sadness on my face. I try my best to isolate myself just to avoid conversations I don’t want to hear. What hurts me the most is seeing how excited my family is about the engagement, while being upset that I’m not even interested in looking for a dress I like. How can I prepare for something that ties me to a person I don’t want? How can I show happiness when deep inside, I’m crying?

My Biggest Fear Came True
Relationship Stress / by iixic

...See more Being in a relationship without wanting to that was always my biggest fear. I used to think, “No matter what happens, I’ll always have the choice. I’ll say no. I’ll protect my peace.” But somehow… here I am. Stuck in something I never asked for. Pretending to smile. Pretending to care. While inside, I feel like a stranger in my own life. They say love grows with time. But what if there’s no space for love to grow? What if all you feel is pressure, guilt, and silence? I didn’t imagine my life like this. I didn’t picture myself waking up every day feeling like a passenger watching my life be decided for me. This isn’t what I wanted. And I don’t know how to get out without breaking everything including myself.

I feel like I’m being pushed into something I never wanted
Relationship Stress / by iixic

...See more Hi everyone, I just need to let this out somewhere because I feel like I’m completely alone in this. A man proposed to me through my father’s friend. From the start, I had this strong gut feeling — something didn’t feel right. I didn’t know him, and everything I learned about him made me even more unsure. I tried to explain to my family that I wasn’t comfortable, but no one really listened. They just kept pushing me, telling me it was the right time, the right man, and that I’m lucky. Eventually, I gave in to the pressure. I thought if I added certain conditions, he would say no. But he accepted. And now, they all think I agreed and I’m okay with this — even though I’m not. Tomorrow is the “engagement meeting” — and I’m expected to smile, act fine, and go along with everything. But I feel like I’m dying inside. I can’t talk to anyone about this. Every time I try to express how I feel, they say I’m being dramatic or ungrateful. I didn’t expect this part of my life — the part that’s supposed to be happy and full of love — to feel like mourning. I just wanted peace, freedom, and the right to choose my own path. But it feels like no one cares what I really want. Please… if anyone has been through something like this, or has any advice, I’d really appreciate it. I’m not looking for judgment, just a space to be heard. Thank you for reading.
