What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

Looking forward to Saturday night. (I have some fun stuff between now and then but Saturday night will be special.)
 
I don't know how to fix me. I feel like I try my best but somehow it isn't enough.

What is the fucking point?
We all are a little broken from past trauma and life. You don't need to be fixed, you need to heal. The point is healing and being just a little better than yesterday.


I know we aren't friends or anything, just a guy giving advice.
 
Apologies guys I was in a hurry and in my rush I left out some important words. I have edited my post to correct it.
In a "bookish way".

Given its from a story, or a book I haven't read I'd have to assume the motive of the complimenter. My guess is, the compliment had that sort of qualifier to build something later in the story.
I could elaborate, but that'd be awfully wordy. Lol. So I won't.

I don't know, is the best I have
 
Is being told you’re book pretty (pretty in a bookish way) a compliment or a back handed compliment? (No one said this to me it’s a description of a girl in a book).
Now that I've seen your corrected post, yes, it is a backhanded compliment. But it is still a compliment. I actually have that exact thought many times. And I do find myself thinking "wow, she's very pretty for her age." But I would never tell a woman that, because with the qualifier, it can almost seem like an insult.

Like with you, I think, "wow, she's so fun and funny and cute for someone so shy."

And in the midwest too sooooooo
 
The Body Book mobile ad creators are delusional if they think they’re gonna sell a diet book with their girl in front of a plate of 2 sad, cold, empty rolled up corn tortillas and a handful of grapes. Who the fuck eats plain corn tortillas and grapes together?!
Well it is a diet book🤷‍♂️

Way to ruin my corn tortilla and grape lunch meal I prepared today lol ;)

But like…if they want to actually sell it, shouldn’t it feature food combinations that actually taste good together? Any idiot can take two random, separate low-calorie foods and put them on a plate, but that doesn’t make it a good snack. They don’t work well together structurally either. Tortillas have about as much carbs as bread too, they’re just flattened to a higher density. Even grapes with cold cuts and sliced cheese like a mini charcuterie plate would have been better 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
I’m old. That is all.
You’ll always be younger than me 😉

Who knows what was going on in their head, but I usually err on the benefit of the doubt side and assume they had good intentions with a compliment. They were likely just trying to be descriptive or are awkward.

Personally, I would love that compliment! Books, glasses, and being smart are all things I love and value ❤️

Please stop it. I haven't eaten yet.
 
<snip>. And I get it, I know it’s a numbers game. I am just wondering if there’s anything more I can do in order to get that 90% to just like 70% lol. Thanks for reading. I just needed to vent a little.

Not really, because the problem isn't what you're doing. This falls squarely on their shoulders.

It's frustrating to say "not looking for anything like that" and be told "me, either!" Only for them to start pushing that boundary three messages later.

Be firm and don't tolerate it. If they do it once, it will continue. Save yourself the aggravation; ignore early, ignore often.

BFG, I actually sent @CincyGurl66 a PM a couple hours ago. So hopefully you will vouch for me that I'm a decent guy to chat with. 😊😘
