This happened to me as a kid when i went to go shower first thing in the morning. The door had an attached towel holder which i was using as a handle to slide it. One moment i'm sliding a door, the next moment i'm hold a towel bar mid air and my hand is bleeding from like a dozen tiny cuts.

Definitely not ideal when you've rolled out of bed 15 seconds earlier.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your words. I hesitate to call him a full-blown narcissist bc I agree that it is thrown around far too often, but he definitely had narcissistic qualities.

I’m sorry that you had to go through something similar, but I hope you have the same optimistic outlook that I do. I’m glad to be out, and I know I deserve better, so I refuse to let him have any more control over my life and/or emotions. Cheers to you, and best of luck in your future endeavors!

Don't beat yourself up about it. I went through something similar and made a lot of the same mistakes of ignoring red flags and questionable moments that I KNEW were bad because the good times were so damn good. "Narcissist" gets thrown around a lot these days to describe anyone who's an asshole but it's rare that you will encounter a true, clinical one. Narcissists literally care about nobody but themselves. Any concern or whim they display for someone else is a contrivance to manipulate them into doing something they want or getting something from them. They mimic emotion and romance and tend to be very grand about it. At first it makes you feel special and loved and wooed and all that, until like you experienced, it becomes apparent that it's all bull and they're doing all of this to manipulate you.

I'm sorry you had to experience the misery that is dating a true narcissist. Mine ended four years ago and I'm still dealing with the issues it caused with my sense of self worth and judgement of character. The GOOD thing about this is now you know what to look for and you escaped without any permanent tethers to him like a child.

Good luck OP, be kind to yourself, and be glad you're free of him.

I dont think its a good idea. It took me one year to more or less not think about her everyday. She cheated on me during the small three month relationship, and to hook up we need to plan it (she lives far enough) i know that at one point or another we will meet again (common friends) so i will probably use that time, if I still want to hook up, to do it. If I did it now with those conditions it would only fuck me over more, and make it too hard for anything further to happen. Even harder for me to move on.

She has something that makes it way harder for me to move, it's actually my first love so it's not easy for me to move on from everything that was so important

Shopkeeper’s privilege allows detention in or near the store using a reasonable degree of force in a reasonable manner/for a reasonable period of time with a reasonable and sincere suspicion someone has stolen or is attempting to steal

Chasing them out of the store and grabbing them is almost certainly unprotected conduct in this instance.

Oh I know 😂 what's weird is that I sat eating my soup and scrolling reddit for probably 45 mins with the gas on and didn't smell it. I took a COVID test that morning just in case, but I'm all clear and apparently just stupid, and no sense of smell

ETA it's weird but my family is actually less upset than I am?? Like, I checked those burners every single night for the rest of our trip, but they were all very unfazed for people WHO ALMOST DIED BECAUSE IM A STONED IDIOT!!?
