I stayed up late Saturday with my ex when we broke up. It was mostly mutual but it was rough. The short version is that I realized that the whole time we’d been together I just never felt pretty. And when I brought that up to him expecting him to just say “of course you’re pretty” he didn’t say that. He said something a lot worse and yeah, we broke up.
Yesterday I posted a selfie on reddit just sort of looking for validation and to my surprise I got it. I got hundreds of messages and chats and people were nothing but kind to me. I wanted to delete the post because it was making me a little anxious the amount of people that were messaging me.
But it was also kind of exciting. I’d never had that kind of attention before, or at least not that much of it. I liked answering the messages and seeing some of the hilariously cringey things a few people said.So I kept it up and went over to a small work gathering. Just people from my pod (group of desks). We were watching that new dune movie and just drinking and stuff. I keep talking to people and started to get some rather kinky messages as the sun went down.
