Mind games f*ck me up..how to care less?

Discussion in 'Dating during a Reboot' started by Freedom is a state of mind, Jul 1, 2017.

  1. Hi guys! This is kinda off topic for this, but since I love this community I would be glad to hear your opinions on this porblem. I want some advice on how to care less and how to handle these mind texting games better.

    So the line is goes somehow his: Dating with a girl for 2 months now, amazing sex, amazing conversations, feeling amazing when we are together. But when it comes to the world of the internet facebook and the texting, these mind games are about to start. She has lack of self-confidence, I know that because she says acts like it and admitted it too. I feel that she loves me, she just doesnt want to admit. When we are together she doesnt let me go, always wanting to cuddle me and sleep with me tight as possible. She just doesnt want to admit it I guess, because she is afraid that I will hurt her. She had a pretty awful relationship in the past, and I think she wants to hide her feeling as possible, but she just cant do that in real life only online.

    I feel that she is trying to make me jelous, when she is about to party, I always say her that have fun and have a crazy night and I wish that with 100% honesty to her, but she just doesnt reply to this. Then you know, 4 snapchat and 3 instagram stroies goes up that how well the party is going and I feel like these are aimed to me to be a bit jelous. I might overthink it, but I know she has a gf who is a pretty big texting and social media "player" and I guess she just give her some advice.

    So basically I dont want to lose her, I just want to care a bit less. You know it feels bad sometimes that she pretend not to give a fuck and it makes me feel sometimes bad. Do you guys have some tips to it? I hang out with my friends ocasionally, and I can distract myself from this feeling, but I want to have a long-term solution for it.

    Yo Freedom,
    This girl is obviously important to you and you are important to her. To be honest with you I hate social media chicks and prefer to have a girl who isn't addicted to updating her "friends" as to what she is doing 24/7. If she has a friend who is a strong influence in her life then she is going to have some persuasion of her friend rub off on her. That old saying, "You are most like the 5 people you spend the most time with!" Is true.

    I am not sure if she is trying to make you jealous with her media feed. The important take away thing here is how often she is going out and partying with her friends. Nothing wrong with partying at clubs or bars, however if she is going 2-3 times per week then I would be cautious. Who is to say how many other guys are hitting on her friends and her during this time. She might not cheat on you but think about it like this.

    Since you care about her so much do you go out to parties multiple times a week with your buds and post on social media about it? Imagine how much attention you would get from women and would you feel comfortable with it knowing you had a 2 month, amazing sex, and amazing conversation girl waiting for you? Just relax for now but if she consistently continues to do this then be wary and start investigating. Good luck and best of luck in your relationship bro.

    Just dont look at it

    My current main is super big into social media and i just get triggered when i look at hers

    Its my best advice because im in a similar situation she hits me up 3 times per week to come over and fuck etc she says she loves me etc etc

    So best advice is to just ignore it and dont look at it cause you will get jealous

    Draw all your attention to another girl, so your focus on the girl you're dating with will be lessened

    Get a passion or hobby or something in wich you can enjoy you'self go out with friends
     
  7. I really suck at texting too. Never figured it out. I don´t need to. And you don´t either.
    I´ve set myself this rule, at least in the beginning of a relationship:
    Only use your phone to set up a meeting. And stick to that rule.
    Everything we text gets misinterpreted, because we can only convey 5% of what we acutally mean via text.

    The solution is to build your life and relationships with other people to the point where if you lose this current girl it doesn't mean your whole world has crumbled. Don't make this girl your life, make her a bonus addition to an already great life.

    I'm not saying that you won't be disappointed if you were to break up, but that you're not absolutely devastated if she were to break up with you.
     
  9. I am constantly trying to do this, but its really hard. Like its just happened that a girl invited me to a movie, and I had to say no ofc because I have this girl. Its really hard not to focus on just her while she is the only girl in my life.

    I also have experience this issue in the past.

    The main way to combat it is to actually ignore your messages, remove the temptation of checking your phone all the time, or actually be busy in a situation that you cannot check it.

    Work, studies, friends, family....nature even....place yourself in situations where it's not proper to check your phone the whole time...

    This current generation gets a dopamine hit from sending/recieving messages, which is an addiction and needs to be broken just like porn....as soon as you restrict yourself, you will learn better.

    This is honestly a great way to handle it. You don't want to see all the partying and stuff she does and that's fine. You wish her the best to have fun and all and you leave it at that.
     
  12. Thanks guys, I tried it lots of times. These tips are great, but I am still standing on the point that if you do not see it it wont solve this at all. First you cant ignore it all and secondly, if you see it unfortunately its a pain in the ass after a long time. I am always saying that if you dont see it, it doesnt mean its not happening. But I am really not here to debate with you, thanks for the tips, I will try to ignore them as much as possible!!

    Have you tried talking to her about it? Communication is the key in all relationships. All these texting and mind games are so stupid

    Quit it with the justification of everything

    Solve your own emotion and everything else will follow. Sure, that comes with maturity, but the sooner you start, the better.

    Don't be a slave to apps

    Control yourself dude
     
  17. You're just scared of losing her, but it's normal, been there, done that. It's fine, but if you want to have control over your emotions, do this:

    Meditate, meditate, meditate. Focus on yourself. Don't check her facebook, instagram, snapchat and etc. Try thinking about what you can improve in yourself, rather then thinking about her and what's she doing.

    And if you won't stop thinking about her after all this, then find other girls to focus on. This will release pressure and anxiety will go away because you'll have option now. Good luck ;)
     
  18. Hey guys!

    Actually I came with good news! I feel totally okay wih everything now. I am around 30 days of nofap maybe (sice I dont count I dont know) I am accepting everything that harmed me in the past and I feel like I can let go my bad thoughts easily. I dont want to count my chickens before they hatch, but I am feeling great now, despite the fact she still tend to play these games as far as I see.

    I would like to highlight one other thing..for the first time in my life I feel like I am loved enough. You know, in my past relationships i was thinking all about that my girl just doesnt love me enough, and despite it I couldnt say a thing what else they could do to prove that they love me. But now I feel like its gone.

    Maybe I am just in the up period with nofap too, but to sum it up, I feel a lot better! Thanks guys!
