Don’t get descriptive but what was your most memorable intimate moment?
When I woke up today morning, I realized how much I miss it, being intimate with someone I love, when you just fall in love. It is the best. I am in a platonic relationship and I don’t see it improving at all. It is unfortunate but this is it for now.
One time I was waiting at a bus stop to get to school. And I was super hungry cause I skipped breakfast cause I was running late.
and this guy appears like sort of angel and walks up to me with a bag of McDonald’s and gave me a hashbrown. I’m still swooning. I love you mysterious hash brown guy so dreamy
Standing on Nottingham Ave one evening at age 14, big flaky snow coming down and a young beautful gal standing in front of me, with long blond hair, wearing a long purple hooded winter coat, 47 years later she still holds a spot in my heart, even though we are not together
I miss my best friend. we were really close, we would do everything together. when I was having bad episodes she would come over and help me clean my apartment, or help me cook and I’d do the same for her when she needed it. It was a lot of fun just joking around and dancing to music or watching movies and stuff. we were best friends for over 7 years and would talk on the phone till it would auto hang up for being on the line for so long.
unfortunately we don’t talk anymore… before I was diagnosed about a year ago I was constantly depressed and anxious and paranoid. I kinda shut everyone out but her and I think maybe she just couldn’t deal with me being so down all the time and relying on her. I think I was bringing her down and was a toxic friend and I could tell she was really sad about it but she stopped talking to me saying I needed to get my life together.
I still kinda hold on to the hope that we can be friends again some day
sitting on the beach with a guy nearly twice my age when i was like, 16 (dont lecture me about age differenceeee) at night just talking was like, magical and intimate
also when the guy who is now just my friend walked up behind me and started holding my hand, then when we got back to his house he wrapped his arms and legs around me and put her head on my shoulder and i almost died
@mermaid1 I don’t know as I have barely experienced mych psychical itntimacy in my life even the platonic intimacy is just and the little hugs they make me go crazy.
It sounds like a McDonalds commercial, but maybe someday the dreamy hashbrown man will ride up on a unicorn and take you to his kingdom! I’m just kidding, he actually sounds like a super nice guy. Maybe you will see him again, that doesn’t sound so far-fetched.
I think the best intimate moment is now how I finally get along much better with my husband. When we got married we were still strangers to each other though we were attracted to each other. At that time we didn’t have good knowledge to understand each other as we have very different personalities and beliefs. So we quarreled a lot and suspected that my spouse did not love me. We got separated. But when I got the diagnosis and was hospitalised my husband requested a leave from his duty in China and arrived at my hospital in Australia. He visited me everyday during my stay in hospital. This is something I value very much.
In the meantime I became less smart and less fit due to the side effects of antipsychotics. Suddenly I belong to the Sz group which is a group that were discriminated against. This position dramatically changed my view of people. I become much more understanding towards those who has limitations in making progress in thinking, action, socializing or communication. My husband is good at doing academic jobs but is poor at socializing. He has been less ambitious as I had been. Now I understand why. This is all about limitations. He has his limitation. So now I just smiled when I saw his short comings, no longer get frustrated. And I cherish his merits more.
This illness made me wiser than before in terms of human relationships including family relationships.
Mr. Star got sick with a 24 hour bug and was lying on his bean bag chair (his only furniture) holding his head. So I got him a cool washcloth and rubbed his back until I had to leave for work. That was the moment I knew I would be with him forever. I told him I love him, and he said it back right away, even though he could barely speak. He told me he has never said that to anyone outside his direct family.
It is a very wise way of thinking. People do have limitations I guess. I have my own limitations too. It seems I can no longer keep an everyday job right now.
But sometimes, I mean, I have expectations and needs? Like I don’t see how I can be any more understanding than this. It is a life I chose for sure and I am somewhat happy. But it is not fulfilling. I am filling my life with other things. I do love my partner a lot and I do see him as having limitations but I really also need him to change. I am and have been secretly hoping for a miracle.
I am MI so I don’t see myself as having any other future at all in any possible way. I am trying to learn how to be content with I have and I am working on changing my mindset around things.
My most intimate moment probably involves permission to fart in front of the other. That certainly took our relationship up to a new level of acceptance.
