Yes you are right. I was addicted to caffeine for like 8 years since college. It began when I had to take these standardized exams for which I needed the stamina to sit and concentrate for hours during the practice exams.
I tired quitting multiple times but the withdrawal was too hard for me to handle.
Finally I did it though, but I do miss the caffeine high I get which is why I thought I'd go for it for the holiday.
Never again though. I might just drink a Diet Coke next time haha, which I don't even drink now. No caffeine at all.
Ok thanks for the suggestion. I was addicted to a drink that had green coffee extract. It tasted like grape juice so I used to drink it up pretty quick. All 400mg of caffeine lol
No.
I have no idea.
We have severed our relationship? That is, officially.
Ended our friendship? Officially.
Terminated our silly so-called romance?
Discontinued our explosive encounters?
Broke up, broke off, finally broke the circle of this endlessly repeating sorry saga?
Between one and two litres a day when at home; when abroad, at least three litres a day.
In the tropics, around four litres a day.

Exactly. Inquiring minds wish to know.

It's more than just "on". It's the next step with someone after the dating phase.

No. It's the next step after dating from the standpoint of commitment.

Btw, my doctor informed me that my newly onset of anxiety is actually from one of the blood tests she did that was slightly off. I just need to tweak one of my medications and that will fix it. So in a week or two it will subside. It has nothing to do with my mental health and I will not be needing any anti-anxiety medications etc. so that's good.
I would imagine the 400mg of caffeine after months of drinking zero didn't help though lol

Gosh.
Still blaming the coffee, are we?
Well, if "the next stage of commitment after dating" has now been reached, then, I assume that the next break-up, breakdown, wth a dramatic severing of ties, will occur presently with all of the inevitable predictability of a metronome.

Nowhere have I expressed the "hope" that you (plural) will break up; personally, I am utterly indifferent to the outcome, thus, the use of the verb "hope" is irrelevant and redundant.
So, as it happens, I don't "hope" that you break up.
Nevertheless, I expect (note that verb, and pay close heed to it) that you will break up, again, and again, and again.
Certainly sounds like you hope we do.
We haven't broken up since things got really good and we both changed (to her credit, she changed a lot first and I recognized that and said to myself I must do better as well). Last time I just told only myself I'd move on, but I'm not, bc I just overreacted and we talked about it.
She told me what bothers her and I told her what was bothering me and we not only settled it but are now even closer and more committed than before.

Not pessimism, rather realism.
No, just the experience of this reader, grounded in the (presumed, supposed, assumed) facts as they have been reported by this very thread.
Besides, as this very thread demonstrates, "new realities" can be transformed into former facts overnight.
In any case, I reserve "hope" for myself, friends, family, politics, socio-economic matters and stuff like that; candidly, the emotion I class as "hope" is not wasted on this thread, which instead, falls under the heading of light and ludicrous "entertainment" of the car-crash kind.
I think if you read the positive developments instead of harping on the negative moments we've had and hoping those play out, you're "realism" would be more accurate as to what will [hopefully] happen *knock on wood*
If you choose to believe the negatives you must also believe the positives.

I think that what the OP of this thread does not really understand is that those who have read many or all of the posts in this thread, perhaps even contributed a post or two or three along the way, are mildly interested in and perhaps even slightly amused by this whole thing, but in the long run whatever actually does happen, whatever the final outcome is, has absolutely no impact on other members' lives here..... What may seem of earth-shattering importance to the OP really isn't of all that great importance to anyone else. It's trifling, a brief, momentary blip in our overall consciousness as we progress through our own daily lives. We read the posts and then usually without commenting, move on to something else, the next thing that briefly catches our attention....
What do you mean "earth-shattering"? The OP has clearly stated that he is just "playing the game".
Yeah I would hope so. Surprised this even needs to be said.
Hopefully it works out for me though. It’s going good again.
I just had a Big misunderstanding
Your relationship is like a ping pong ball ricocheting all over the place. Having observed the continual ups and downs, if I was of the opposite sex, available and knew you, I might just be hesitant to volunteer for the drama.
The very thread title screams what you so quaintly describe as "negatives".
Not necessarily.
(And, from a philosophical perspective, to argue thus is bit of a logical fallacy).
Exactly and very well said.
Well, while you and I might choose to forego such roles, - not least because what we have experienced in real life is quite exciting enough, and personally, I like my private life generally bereft of drama and conflict and what is considered a state of "emotional excitement"; I'm content with kindness, and generosity, and wit, and intelligence, and good conversation and interest in the world, the arts, literature, culture, music, and so on.
No, I doubt very much that either you or I would fall into the category of the sort of Drama Llamas, Drama Queens and Drama Kings who might seek out starring roles in such productions.
i strongly suspect the OP is a magnet for this due to the circles he associates with and the specific types of women in those circles.
From what I can see, he seems to be a magnet that attracts "a specific type of women", but is also attracted to "specific types of women".
In other words, he chooses, seeks out, and selects these specific types of women, and values certain qualities while holding others in clear contempt.
