> No I didn’t. I dated her for 2 months till she dumped me 😂

so the person you reference on hinge is the party girl from the OP.,,ok then..maybe learn your lesson this next time

>Actually, I find it really hard to make friends.

sounds like all you have to do is offer them some coke and they will hang out..Then mysteriously, when you dont have the party goods, they dont want to hang out? very confusing on why, must be your haircut or something, maybe sprinkle some coke on it and see if the style change brings them back....anyways, maybe make some friends that are into other things than just partying. I assure you they exist

Look up zero sum approach to relationships. Does it sound familiar?

Okay I found an article for you. This is not exactly what he is doing but in a way it actually is. Its within this framework of thinking and seems as destructive as straight up zero sum thinking. Basically it’s the idea that if one person wins the other has to lose and losing is not an option.

It almost sounds like he is trying to avoid this so much that he’s creating it to avoid it. Anyway the article should say more and more accurately. Its not sustainable though.

It sounds like what OP is trying to say is that he's disappointed that his sickness is affecting his sense of taste and he's trying to get sympathy points with his girlfriend who just gave birth and is having serious hormone swings.

And is Surprised Pikachu when she doesn't make the connection.

She is just being realistic with you. But you both also need to realize that there are no guarantees in a relationship this young, regardless of your age. Even if she's gotten somewhat better I think your GF is still struggling a lot with her past traumatic events, did she ever recieve any therapy for what she went through?

They’re super weird with each other and she’s always wearing the tiniest clothes. Is it abnormal for me to sexualize their relationship when I don’t think I could be that comfortable being nearly as naked around my brother unless I were at the beach? In combination with their super close attachment and constant touching, sexual jokes, and sharing food? Like am i really that wrong for hating the dynamic because it feels incestual to me?
