Tim Apple’s origin story

Yes, he made her feel so uncomfortable that now she's here posting about how much she regrets not going out with him or at least taking his info. Lol

That’s ok it’s just that I would never have done anything with either of my grand mothers’ collections of pornography (if I thought it remotely possible that they had such things). [Learn to have a laugh at yourself]

You yourself must be a father lol

girl I've been speaking to is doing the same thing to me. She's telling me now that she regrets it but Idk if I wanna do this anymore.

She said she had to go somewhere else. If he would have followed her that would be creepy. But he didn't. He let her go "somewhere else".

Not everyone is looking to fill out their friend roster. Sometimes people are looking for something more, and that's ok. No one owes their friendship to anyone else. Just like she can turn down his romantic advances he has every right to withhold his companionship.

He certainly made her feel uncomfortable and lost interest in her pretty quick. I like in the real world too.

Then it sounds like you are experiencing underlying stress. These hallucinations tend to take forms of your worst fears or generally terrifying situations. The brain is a cruel mechanism.

Is there any evidence he had a "strong reaction" ?

I mean op can clarify, but wanting to keep your distance from someone who just turned you down isn't weird, especially if you're a dude and you don't want to come off as a weirdo. She didn't say he freaked out on her, just that he kept his distance, which makes sense considering he was probably embarrassed.

its okay to date broke guys

No clue! There was nothing on the floor

I've had them for about six years. They get worse and better depending on stress level

Speaking as someone who was once ruled by his regrets, allow me to share this advice I was once told: Every regret holds you back from a better future. Regrets are our past tripping us up and preventing us from moving on. Finding a way to shut down your regret response is not easy and it takes patience but the more you try the better you will get at ignoring regret.

My therapist and psychiatrist just tell me to practice better sleep hygiene and that should solve it.

This is ridiculous/you have no idea what you're talking about. Was the guy supposed to act the same after being turned down and come off as clingy/creepy?

I think being on the internet too much has led you to forget how the real world works, you see someone you like, you start a chat and if they show interest the dynamic continues, if they don't you readjust and act accordingly in order to keep them from feeling uncomfortable around you.

There was absolutely no bum behavior showed by this guy.

Soon Tim will be putting name tags on coins to claim money for candy

From my past experience, it sounds like she found someone else and is just trying to find an excuse out of the relationship. She's shifting blame onto you as the cause so she doesn't need to feel guilty about ending the relationship and live with being the asshole that ended the relationship without a reason. I may be completely off here as there is only so much I can extract from your blurb there but as someone that was in a similar situation in a long term relationship with an ex that also had the intention of marriage, children etc. When she wanted out of the relationship she brought up something from months ago that was not a problem at the time and used it as an excuse to end the relationship. I tried to work it out with her but in the end decided to break things off with her as a way for the two of us to have some space and see how things go after awhile. When we broke up she claimed she would not date for a very long time. But soon after she started getting closer to a previous guy friend and lo and behold, a few short months later, I find out she was dating another guy and the years that followed she basically jumped from one bf to the next, she might have even slept around with a bunch of random guys for all I knew. The break up wasn't the most painful part, its the betrayal and the lie that she spun that ate at me while I blamed myself for the cause of the relationship to end which turned out to be a lie that killed me the most. So don't blame it all on yourself. To me based on what you said.. it sounds like bs... you guys were not expecting a child and she did not carry it long enough to form any bond with it.. so why is it such a big deal? She knew you were struggling too so why is this suddenly all your fault? It seems like she wanted attention, attention you weren't able to give her because you were struggling and she found someone else that gave her the attention she wanted during that time you guys were on a break. Now she wants out and is using the miscarriage as an excuse to do so. Like I said, I may be completely off base and I'm only this pessimistic due to my previous experience. As other's have said.. talk to her some more but don't fully blame yourself, don't let that eat away at you like it did me in the past.

Don't be afraid to talk about it with friends and family and try to look inwards to find why you turned him down. It might be a difficult thing to do, but you'll feel grateful afterwards

A concert is a sketchy way to meet someone ( ok you like similar music tick) but he was hitting on you. Hence he cold shouldered you when you nixed him. If he was genuine he would have settled for friend. As it was he avoided you because you wouldn't give out immediately to a stranger. He was a bum. You did good. This is your subconscious speaking

This is a normal part of being alive. It happens every now and then.

Is it… Really such a bad thing to have been given a bunch of free food? Freeze it, spend the food momey for the next week or two on other things.

I don’t get it. Is it shameful that someone that clearly has much more than they need shared some with you? That’s very nice of them!

Even by personal experience, I’ve woken up to the vision of my mother repeatedly slamming my door shut in a terrifying way only to realize it was a horrifying hallucination. This is normal, think of it as your dreams “blending in” with reality upon waking.

This is definitely an overblown response. Hallucinations upon waking up happen to over 10-12% of people and seeing a visual hallucination only reinforces the normality. OP take this with a grain of salt and take comfort that alarming hallucinations upon waking up are extremely common.
