I will be defoeing from my family this weekend, which was last weekend.

0:05.5

My parents know I want time to heal and go no contact, however they think it's temporary.

0:11.5

I think the truth is that I want to immediately cut contact permanently once moved,

0:16.3

so I know they're out of my life forever.

0:18.8

I'm not sure if this is very Russian rational, but if they

0:21.8

were to die tomorrow, I would have no regrets, alongside having had no desire to spend time with them

0:27.5

for a couple of years already, excluding obligation feelings and using them for resources.

0:35.0

I am not even sure if permanently defuing is the right thing to do. The people

0:40.4

pleasing has improved a lot since we last spoke, however still significantly, really significantly

0:47.5

affects me on a day-to-day basis. For example, I keep choosing bad men and creeps. Maybe creeps is a wrong word, but I keep choosing bad men and creeps. Maybe creeps a wrong word, but I keep choosing bad men.

1:49.2

Yeah. Okay. So regarding men, I've been, I've spoken to a few men.

1:57.9

So I had a relationship from December to July last year, and there was a completely dishonest relationship.

2:08.7

He was less intelligent than me, still intelligent, and it was sort of like a safe haven.

2:14.7

I was with him for the sake of being with someone, so I was using him.

2:18.9

I then broke up with him because I realized, oh my gosh, we have nothing in common, there's no deep

2:24.2

conversations, this is as dead as it humanly gets. And then after, my friend introduced me to a guy
