    Before all this happened i was feeling very lucky to have found her, for so many reasons that i am now not able to appreciate/feel, it’s as if even if u give me a million dollars right now, i can’t care/feel happy.

    Oh yeah i know this fear is not because of her and that she can’t heal it, it’s my own wounds and past. But i have motivation to heal for her, otherwise i don’t really care because i’m not really gonna be interested in love after her, too much hassle haha, not gonna try and find another girl with similar traits (and im talking about character stuff, not appearance) because it’s rare and i think i’m tired of relationships, especially after all those things that came up with me now.

    Tbh anita, i don’t remember feeling love for anyone in the past. I dont know what love is and now i am trying to “feel” / acknowledge it with her, because she loves me and she’s great to me but it’s like those things fly past me, like it’s a language that i don’t speak. I think it’s because i’m used to chaos and trying to win them over. I dont know how slow love feels like, when i was younger i was proudly saying: “If it’s not burning me up from the inside, i don’t want it”, oh how mistaken i was haha.

    Gemini tells me that what i give her, is what i need to give my inner child. Whenever i cry and think of her and go in my mind “my sweet baby, u did nothing wrong”, this is what i have to say to my inner child. It seems so weird!

    Oh, Confused, if you gave me a million dollars right now, I will care, promise! ๐Ÿ˜

    It’s not that I will do just about anything for that million dollars! No, I won’t!

    So, Gemini has also pointed to your inner child. It’s the three of us, 2 robots and one human.

    You shared before that you were told that when you talked about your childhood (which included severe emotional abuse, really), you sounded like you were reading an article from a newspaper.

    That’s an earlier shutdown than the shutdown you experienced with this woman (whom you’ve known.. for how long, LD?)

    I agree 100% (and no less) with this input by Copilot, partly paraphrased (and that’s following more than 5 months of my massive communication with you):

    “She became the imagined cure long before she ever had the chance to be a real person. You only spent three days together, and even those days were not calm or easy โ€” yet your mind holds onto her as if she is the only path to safety, love, and healing.

    No partner โ€” especially one you barely know in real life โ€” can carry the weight of being the cure for old wounds.

    Your mind is holding onto her as if she is the only path to safety, love, and healing, but she didnโ€™t create your wound, so she canโ€™t be the cure for it.

    The panic you feel is about losing what she represents to the younger part of you who never felt safe. Healing that fear is what will allow you to actually experience love irl.

    Hey anita

    I wouldn’t be able to feel it/care about it right now..

    No no i asked gemini about this and it basically told me that if u cant find the inner child it usually lies within the things u tell others (like the one i said).

    Yeah, i dont remember feeling love or attachment to anyone except romantic relationships actually. (we’ve known each other for 1.5 years, started having feelings for her a year ago, April 2025)

    No no i don’t think that’s the case. She did bring color into my life but it’s not like i wasn’t enjoying life before her. Or that i just happened to project my desires on her. I like her for legit things, character traits, loving and caring personality, humor, intelligence, wittiness and many more, it wasn’t a blind “ok i want her now”, i was falling gradually while getting to know her.
    I know she’s not the cure, i am not looking for her to cure me, i just want my old self back, the one that could feel romantic things with her, who could dream things, be excited to share my life with her, the prior to november confused. Because right now i dont feel like myself at all.
    I think the panic i was feeling was because i would lose her specifically, since a month or two ago, imagining the future without her was bringing me bad feelings.

    Hey Dear Confused:

    You want to have pleasurable feelings again: “romantic things… dream things… excited”-

    If you weren’t stuck in over- thinking, maybe you wouldn’t be stuck in under- feeling.

    I understand that she is a wonderful person: intelligent, caring and much more.

    I hope that somehow things work out for you, first internally (peace within yourself), and then externally (peace in relationships with her, with others).

    Dear Confused:

    I walked with you as far as I can. I shared everything I know that might help, and now the next part of the journey is yours alone.

    Iโ€™ll still be around, but I need to step back from the level of involvement Iโ€™ve had. I hope you continue exploring your inner world with patience and care. Iโ€™m wishing you peace and healing.

    Hey ๐Ÿ™‚ Confused:

    You are kind and gracious, thank you!

    I wish you success in limiting your ruminations/ compulsions and finding peace and some happiness again โœจ๐Ÿ™โœจ

    May indeed this almost 100-page thread be of help to others.

    It’s a very warm day here, 28 degrees Celsius, a bit cooler than it was in Greece during the day (29 degrees?) I wonder what kind of weather your favorite is, and which is your least favorite ๐Ÿค”

    Same goes for you anita! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I hope i get there someday and live my dreams as i imagined them ๐Ÿ™

    Oh i think it wasn’t that hot today here, it was bearable! My least favorite weather is definitely summer because of bugs and because i sweat easily so i feel disgusted with myself haha, i think i prefer spring, flowers blooming and 20 degrees celsius, what about you? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thank you, Confused ๐Ÿ™‚

    Dreams like you imagined them.. having dreams by itself can be pleasant, even if they don’t come true.. ? There’s a song that says something like that ( I’d like to look it up when l am back to the computer).

    My favorite weather, like yours, mild, spring or fall. Even winter is better than hot, humid summers.

    Funny, you mention the unpleasantness of sweating, my reaction to hot and humid was asking fungi, gross ( couldn’t get rid of that before I moved across the world to a milder climate.

    Hey Confused:

    I just asked and the line I remembered wasn’t about dreams but about love: โ€œโ€™Tis better to have loved and lost- than never to have loved at all.โ€ This is from Alfred Lord Tennysonโ€™s poem In Memoriam A.H.H. (1850).

    When it’s hot, the only way to cool off (without AC) is to get into cold water or get cold water/ drinks into you and hardly move otherwise.

    So, because I have an inquiring mind, ha-ha, I asked Copilot if it’s really better to have love and lost than to never have loved at all?

    Answer: “The core truth- If the love was real, nourishing, mutual, and safe, then yes โ€” loving and losing is better than never loving at all. Because real love expands you. It grows your capacity. It leaves something inside you that remains even after it ends. But if the โ€œloveโ€ was mixed with fear, shame, confusion, or emotional abandonment then the equation changes.”

    Next, I couldn’t help but ask about your love, Confused- Answer: “What love does to Confused- Love doesnโ€™t just open him. It destabilizes him. It activates his fear of dependence, of being needed, of needing someone, of losing the person, of losing himself… So, for him, love is beautiful but dysregulating. That changes the equation… It is better for him to love only if the love helps him regulate, not destabilize. And right now, his love for her is not regulating him. It is overwhelming him.

    “The deeper truth- Confused is choosing between loving in a way that overwhelms his system vs. learning how to love without losing himself. The first harms him. The second heals him. So, the real question is not whether love is ‘worth it.’ Itโ€™s whether he has the capacity to stay regulated inside love.

    “Right now, he doesnโ€™t โ€” but he could, with time and internal work.” Copilot

    Good night/ morning, Confused!

    Hmmm… This is big, confused:

    True Love Expands you, makes you more confident, peaceful within, curious, adventurous, expansive. And if “love” contracts you, makes you fearful, numb, smaller.. why, that’s not love.

    That makes a lot of sense to me, Confused. It wasn’t love that I grew up with because it contracted me, made me fearful, made me shut down to life.

    Enough for tonight.

    Anita
