What I meant is avoid uncomfortable texting at first if you wish to avoid getting bombarded by a triggered person. This is of course in the beginning of a relationship when intimacy is not yet fully established, the other person can detect any sign of profanity, even minor rude insults or words can be very triggering to strangers. Once you're deep into a relationship and quite intimate on a level, that's where what you say doesn't matter much and you can easily work through miscommunication. Don't expect this in the beginning though. Most people are uptight and keep a guard against someone they text the first couple of times and it can be a stressing situation making them wanna easily quit, block or even go on a massive rage text. Yes, anger issues probably. But a lot of people get out off or annoyed when they meet a rude stranger. Your first impression should be unequivocally empathetic to impeccable levels. Your outbursts or complaints can be reserved for later in the relationship when a certain comfort is reached on both ends. Don't jump at someone who could be unsuspecting. Judging from your text, you're easily triggered and cannot handle a critique. Don't take that same energy into your first dates and texts.

You shouldn't call someone weird. That can be insulting. I have met people who are strange in text. Yet I control my temptation to call them weird. It can easily hurt sentiments and is a direct attack on self esteem. Avoid all sorts of profanities in text, even minor, unless you're angry and rage texting which can be explained later. Just general thumb rule, avoid uncomfortable texting. Her behavior is fine. Lots of people talk about serial killers, gore etc. It's only "strange" when she is taking it too far to the the point of unbearable or overbearing. And there's too little you'll know about a person just through text. You gotta have more substance, like a compilation of six months conversations to be able to semi-accurately analyze a person's entire personality. A bunch of texts is never enough. Also it's the vibe you communicate. The same person who is being an asshole to you can be nice to many people. Too easy to jump to conclusions. The same persons offline are just normal and chill. Take it easy and be nice.

Dude, getting the first girlfriend is no big deal either way. Everyone gets their first at some point quite easily. It's hard when you have to find "the one that sticks." And why do you take Leo word to word. And yours is barely a week. How are you so confident?

Omg. That's too much. I'm scared of the whole leatherface chainsaw. Imagine being chased down the street by someone with a chainsaw. -
I once saw a UFO in my dream. It appearee like a big shining saucer that was wobbly mid air. I panicked lol.

Why will they torture you? -
Online dating is a scam. People inflate themselves and you're mostly engaging with someone whose intentions aren't fully clear.

Most narcissists will be diagnosed with NPD. -

Are we really looking forward to another debate between the two? -
The polls are quite close. The possibility of someone becoming president still looms large. Even if not, such circumstances raise too many questions. Biden ahead of Trump by a meager 5 points. Yo. Boo! Trump nation once again honey boo boo.

I'm a narcissistic idiot. Score - 38/40

Something similar happened to me. Not comfortable discussing. I consider it sexual abuse. It can take years to heal. It can cause weird stuff. Messed up psyche. But eventually it gets ok.

Ironically Trump gives me hope. If he wins, I don't have to worry about evil anymore, every other evil isn't worth sweating over. Hillbilly smokes! -
You're a sweet angel. I just love your posts.

I'm always drawn to other beautiful things in life. Adventure, travel, reading, meeting people of different places, not so mundane stuff. Exploring, diving, spending time in nature. I've found that dating consumes significant time and is very time draining activity unless you're already with someone who you really consider a jewel, someone who is with you all along or has been your foundation rock The idea of dating, pickup, approach, dating sites, it doesn't look appealing to me. Seems like a delusional way of living and wasting time. I'm sure there's a lot to learn. But still. It looks like a high energy chase. Always giving it so much of your energy and time and then ending up feeling like it all went to shit. I mean it builds you socially. Where do you go next from there? I'm an introvert so maybe I feel it doesn't fulfill me. Yet I have tried being extremely social and the yield in terms of growth was good enough yet at some point I had to cut myself off of it because it got satured and I felt I wasn't getting anything new out of the same old grind. The same attitude, the same mindset, the same kind of people you run into. Nothing extra ordinary. Now for someone who is completely socially isolated this can work and be a boon. But once you've been out there and tasted the flavor of it, it gets old and you realize it's never going to be anything beyond mere entertainment and daily maundering. You gotta save some time before you waste anymore. And then I see other people constantly talk about their dating plans etc and it takes me back to the drawing board and I'm left wondering if I'm odd or a misfit sort that I don't like it want it as much as others do. What's the mystery? Is it only social pressure we endlessly succumb to? Is it craving we cannot put a lid on? Is it something so essential we cannot live without? I see it as a waste of time, time I could invest in developing myself and building my own body and mind and just enjoying the moments as they come. I'm not in a dilemma. But I don't want ANOTHER FICKING TRAP Thanks.

I won't agree with him wholesale but he has some nuggets like - expressing yourself without wanting social validation. He is a mixed bag - some good things and some shady shit. Had it not been for the wave of scandals rocking his boat, he would have made it really far, motivational speaker deals and probably a TV career or book deals. He was clearly very successful. He squandered his chances by deciding to compromise on illegal shit. He has an empathetic approach to his audience, less substance, more gimmicky but self assuring, this is great for those who looking for a short term dose of encouragement. I understand his appeal. It will work for traumatized people who think nobody cares about them. He is virtually their superman comfort guide. For an exceptionally tough person, his charm is unflattering and at best superficial.

Funny indeed.

That's why I called him feminine. His posture was feminine. He doesn't realize a dick is a dick at the end of the day. Most men replied woman woman woman. It's obvious. No heterosexual man would want to date a trans no matter how hot, it wouldn't make sense, he doesn't realize what he is talking, Megan fox with a dick is still a dick. That man made a perfect point, his advice regarding motivation is good, his advice regarding dating is immature at best.
