Search Results: How do you fill a void

I think so. My boyfriend does it because he likes it, but one night he admitted to me that he does it because he's depressed and weed makes him calm and happy. I only tried it twice but i never got high because i think i did it wrong and the first time i did it, i think i almost choked to death. It was not a good experience, and i've never liked it even before doing it. I always get mad when my boyfriend does it in front of me... I think there are better ways to calm down like running, the gym, hobbies...
Do you think people who smoke weed do it to fill a void?

I don't get it... I love my ex-boyfriend (we broke up over 4 months ago) but we don't work as a couple & it breaks my heart because that means someone else is going to get this great guy. I really do want him to find someone that makes him happy but I don't want to watch it happen.

When we broke it off, I said goodbye. He said, "No, we'll be friends." He knows I'm not an advocate of being friends with my ex's. I told him I didn't bring that kind of baggage into our relationship and I don't plan on bringing it in to the next one. Anyway he's totally disregarded my attempts to cut him out of my life and says he refuses to disappear.

I tried to explain that it hurts me to talk to him because I still love him and I need time to get over it. He said, "that's dumb, we can still chat about a basketball game..." I feel myself giving in but think I may be doing myself a disservice.

I miss being able to call him up and tell him about my day. He was my best friend! But how do you move on if you fill that void with the person who left it?

I would really like to know people's take on how it works being friends with the ex.

Before I say anything else: I don't believe that astrology has EVERYTHING to do with love or personalities, but I do believe they are a good base to start from.

He is an Aries, I am an Aquarius.

I really need some advice on this. Please be honest and please read through all of this.

I have been single for about a year now, and have had no interest in finding someone to 'fill the void' as one might say it. I was quite content being single.

That is... until this guy came along. Now he has me questioning whether or not I'd like to let him win me over, or just tell him that I have no interest. I won't lie, I never gave off the vibes of "I'm interested". I just tend to be friendly to everyone, so it was no different with this guy.

His interest in me couldn't have been any more obvious. How so? He came into class one day with a beautiful, fully bloomed tulip. Apparently, he had picked it from his garden. When he handed it to me, he told me that he had seen the flower earlier and that it had reminded him of me, but that my beauty was unmatched by anything he had ever seen before. I was shocked to say the least--a little confused as well, but flattered beyond words. I accepted his gift. Well, after multiple declines to go out on a date with him, he wore me down enough to agree to one. To be honest, it wasn't half bad.

He opened doors for me, pulled out (and pushed in) chairs for me, and slow danced with me. I won't lie--he is like a transplant from the Shakespearian times. He is very, VERY traditional. His good-bye to me? A kneel on the ground and a kiss on the hand.

He is also one of the smartest people I've ever met. He is fluent, and self taught, in 5 different languages. It takes him less than 2 months to learn a new language. It's crazy!

I am confused. I don't know what my feelings are for him yet. Should I give him more chances? Should I not?

I was talking to a guy for about 6 months or so. We met online & due to covid we weren't able to see each other, we got really close really fast. Things were good but then he began to have doubts at 5 months & talked about a break for a while until we could see each other. 6 months he officially said to go on a break and if i found someone it was okay. Things were good, we would talk, he would call me beautiful & said his dad asked about us. Mind you this was about 2 weeks ago. A week ago i texted him telling him i missed him and i got no response or anything. I waited and doubled texted and then triple texted a couple days later this past Friday, the 23rd, he posted a picture of him with a girl and the caption said "hot girl summer WHO? #datenight #couplegoals #covid_19 #romantic" I saw it when i opened insta and i liked it and he blocked me on everything. Days later he messaged me and deleted the picture, he said he didn't know what he's doing with himself. He also said "The one person i posted, like I don't know, they approached me and i was like hey let's give this a try i guess. I blocked you like an immature guy then boom it doesn't work, i reflect on myself and i feel like an idiot who feels like i do everythin wrong. I probably hurt you and probably ruined that chance. I get left for somethin stupid and now i feel like i ruined everythin this is why i have commitment issues and its my own damn fault." then he does on to say he is unhappy and insecure. tried to fill the void when he isn't happy with himself. He also apologized for blocking me. The things I asked for were to never block me & to please tell me if he ever found anyone. He did the exact opposite & apologized I've thought about this, he did bring up taking a break and told me what he did like he reached out. But i don't want to be an afterthought but have feelings for him, i can't fully trust but i want to be friends.. Let me know what u think
