Search Results: platonic relationship

I was in a relationship with a guy and we had a mutual friend, more his friend (even though he knew her through me but that's another story). She called him kitten also when I was around and I hated every second of it. Platonic he said but I didn't like it.

The word I think to me has a very sexual/lover connotation when you call someone else that. It's not a name for a platonic friend in my silly opinion. This became a whole thing as I had to bring it up multiple times but he said it was just a nickname and it wasn't a big deal, for me it was just too much and if she called him cat or whatever I wouldn't have cared. But kitten? Come oooon.

It's been months and I was wondering what people think of this. Am I being too insecure or is it just... not good?
Please share your opinions and vote if you got some time to spare? Thanks!

(We've broken up awhile ago. This is just a "I wonder what people think of this because am I really insecure or is it not that common.")

29F & I’ve known a few people throughout my life that just hate doing things alone. Whether it’d be those people that jump from one relationship to the next or those people that just need some kind of company when it comes to doing everyday things (getting lunch, going shopping etc). I’m not sure if I just feel this frustration for those kinds of people because I wonder how they’re capable of just jumping into new relationships so easily, some kind of jealousy? At the same time, I wouldn’t feel happy with myself if I just disliked my own company that much & constantly needed someone there to fill that void, whether it’s romantic or platonic company. I’m very much a loner & have been single for pretty much my whole life, I feel like I’m at the point where I’m so used to it that a man will REALLY need to knock off my socks in order for me to consider dating him. In other words, I’ve done everything on my own including living alone etc, will adding a man to my life be that beneficial? This isn’t meant to sound feminist, I feel like I also question these kinds of codependent people because my mom may be one of them, yes she’s independent but even she’s admitted that she hates doing things alone. Thoughts? And when I say they’re *weak*, I’m talking specifically about this aspect of their life & not overall.
