Congratulations on being the least helpful comment on this thread. I’m not too familiar with posting on Reddit. Originally I made this post to distract me and try to vent, instead of message my bf or let it continue to build up and feel alone. After I did, I wanted to delete because of anxieties about people like yourself, but I thought “hiding” it would be better. I thought I could go back and look at it in the future to remind myself of how things hurt so bad, so I can do what needs to be done, but at least it would be hidden from everyone else. So I hid and didn’t come back to Reddit until the next day, to find many notifications. I learned that it only hides it from my profile. Well, I’m glad it didn’t get deleted because of everyone else on this thread. I feel like I received some good support, clarity, and perspective,because I don’t have any others here in my everyday life. It’s his and mine & I want him to feel valid, but sometimes it’s too much on my mind, body, and soul.

Why would I even try to be fake? I’m seeking guidance, not entertainment.
