I can't keep this up!!#is this the norm for adulthood? :(#& on one level I don't want to bother people or be clingy#but on another level I'm baffled that they don't get lonely too#the news has not shut up abt the Loneliness Epidemic since 2021#but if it's true why do so many people take so long to reply when I reach out? if they reply at all#I'm not going anywhere w this. idk#just one of those days#everything so fuck everybody suck :(#boomers got it right w the whole showing up unannounced at people's houses for a social call with a pound cake#now I have to go through 5 layers of bureaucratic bullshit to see a friend#assuming they don't cancel the day of ofc (((((:#I just wanna be like hello knock knock I am here. tell me abt yr life today & listen to mine & eat this cake#& the worst is when people are like 'I'm cancelling bc I'm tired xx'#OK A) u knew we had these plans for two weeks#but B) I'm tired too!

Another request💕💕💕 hurt/comfort 💕😭
Male reader x Adam were reader feels like he isn't enough for Adam and all ways flinchs, he got that from his parents who were abusive ( you can skip this if you not comfortable) 💕
Who will Adam react?
If you can thank you 💕💕💕
I've got you hun! This is basically the headcanons but I turned em into a story, hope that's fine by you, xoxo/p
Lonely Eyes
pairing: Adam x male!reader
warnings: language, mentions of past abuse, trauma response
note: not beta read bc fuck you I don't have beta readers
It was quite hard for you to believe he actually loved you the way you loved him - you weren't saying he was lying to you, he was acting too kind for that, but it felt like every second he could see someone hotter than you, someone more attractive than you and leave you for them. Because in God's holy name, why would someone as handsome, someone as cocky date someone like you? You didn't know, there was no way that made it make sense.
You were constantly drowning in thoughts that told you you weren't enough, that he deserved better than you, in hell's seven rings, he couldn't even touch you without you flinching away. No hugs, no cuddles, no casual touches like having him wrap his arm around you. You always flinched away from his touch, no matter how soft it was.
It was a very obvious trauma response from when you had been alive. Your dad had been abusive, the man had hit you whenever he could, if there had been no reason, he had made one up.
Adam knew about that and he understood, well he did to a certain level.
-
“Y/N,” Adam said as he entered the living room, you looked up from the book you were reading, “I wanna talk to you about something.” Oh fuck. That was it. He had finally had enough of your bullshit and was going to break up with you now. “Let’s get this over quickly,” you sighed, sadness washed over your entire body language and Adam frowned in confusion, “What?” You looked up at him, “You wanna shatter my fucking heart and break up with me? Do it quick.” You tossed your book to the side and got up from the couch. It had only been a matter of time after all, better sooner than later, it would make the pain more bearable.
“The fuck are you talking about, babes? No one's gonna break up with your fucking ass,” the brunette stated as he walked over to you. His hands slowly came up to cup your face but he stopped right before touching your warm skin, he wanted your approval. You slowly leaned into his big palm and smiled a little when his thumb caressed your cheek. “No?” you asked, completely drowning in this sweet sensation, “Are you sure?” Adam looked baffled, then responded, “Am I sure? Am I sure? Babes,” he moved your head a little which caused you to open your eyes and look at him, “I’ve never been more sure about anything in my fucking life. I fucking love your ass, babes, ain't no way I'm giving you up.” Words of affirmation seemed like a lie to you, well they usually did. But with Adam? He seemed to be honest about it and while you still didn't understand how he could love someone like you, you chose to enjoy his company, love and affection for as long as he intended to stay. It was simply the best thing you could do.
“So the thing I wanted to talk about,” the first man brought up the original topic that conversation was supposed to be about, “What would you say if I told you that I got us a table in that fancy ass restaurant you like so much?”
Your eyes beamed at him.

When I first got my tarot cards and began practicing readings on myself a few cards kept on popping up and I would give them some extra attention, looking deeper into them and trying to understand them more. One card I would bypass though, I knew what he meant and what he could potentially mean but I would shrug him off and move onto the next card. I guess now as I think on why I ignored him it sorta baffles me as, The Hermit, is a very me style card, he crawls into the corner of his room away from everyone and reflects on life and his actions. Maybe that's why I ignored him though, because it's not anything too new for me. I enjoy hiding away from the world in bed, staring out the window lost in my head. It took so long to feel safe within it that I sometimes never want to leave it.
I knew that pulling that card so many times meant a hibernating period, a bit of a longer one. I remember thinking 'Well there is no surprise there, we're all currently chained to our houses, I'm sure everyone is feeling this card' when he first made an appearance. I also remember when Sunni pulled that card when she had come by with her deck that one time. Although she dug a whole lot deeper explaining why she pulled it at the time. She was channeling 'Past energy' though *Insert eye roll here*.
I felt myself slip into that hibernation though, I noticed myself pushing my friends away and just hiding away. Char and Ads would roll by here and there, Char was the sweetest when she realized my head head was in a funk and she had some miswording and then came by. Of course Mark would randomly appear too, I will say I started to get a little frustrated with him popping by unannounced. I understood he would get lonely or something but sometimes I really don't like people and need them to not exist in my face for 2.5 seconds.
This funk wasn't any different though, I of course had some learning to do from it but I didn't dive down to my lowest or have any huge revelations from it. I just hid away for a month or so and shoved everyone out.
At one point in one of my readings a topic came up of cutting off old friendships that don't fill me anymore and making room for new ones as I would be having more connections coming into my life. Of course I feel connections are constantly coming and going within everyone's lives but when I pulled the 3 of cups I had hoped this meant stronger connections, more long lasting ones as the ones I had been making so far felt so short term and not as filling. I noticed my walls getting thicker over time, not trusting new friends as easily as at this point I'm used them not sticking around for too long, not in a negative way towards them, but just that sometimes people are only meant to be in our lives for a short amount of time.
When Char had come by for a reading I noticed she pulled the 3 of cups as well, when I told her the meaning about it she smiled and said that the card was me for her. I then did a reading on myself and pulled the same card and I said the same of her. We both laughed and enjoyed that moment of finally finding a real solid friend after a while of not having one. When we met I knew we would have a good friendship, we quickly deemed each other as best friends and we bonded over so many things from our hippy ways to just connecting on the same wave length mentally. We also both have plans of moving to Portland and we've talked many times about moving together if things go well with me moving in at the end of the month. I hope it does, I explained to her my fear of moving in as I value my friendship with her more than my want to move elsewhere right now. We both agreed on open communication and keeping each other in the loop on things. We've had numerous talks of how to approach things and boundaries which makes me feel more comfortable. I know that they're messy but I get the whole top floor to Ana, future cat and I which means my own bathroom and 2 rooms (Which I don't need two rooms but ay future roommate maybe? Make rent cheaper which equals pay off Ana bills moreee) so I don't need to worry about that too much.. aside from the kitchen but I can deal with that. I understand we've both had shitty roommates in the past and we've both learned from that so I have high hopes!
New connections though, they have entered my life recently and I accept them with open arms, walls still up though. Trust is earned, not just given from me. So while I love Ads and Char, they don't get my trust right away. They get my love though, quite a bit of it and appreciation. From being at Chars family's house ziplining across the backyard and having a wicked water balloon fight then going to my future home and unwinding with a bowl with my soon to be roommates, they bring out my fun/childlike side and remind me to not always be so serious all the time. I genuinely love and appreciate them. I can only hope that these are long lasting connections.
Mark is another connection though, he's not a new one, as we met on New years, but he has been a good friend since and I appreciate him as well, especially after he was really there for me after Artie's passing. He's been a hard one to place though. I noticed that he had feelings for me so I took a step back as I don't feel them back for him in anyway on that level. He's a great guy and for some time I almost wished I did feel them back as I know he's a damn good guy and he would treat me like a queen, but you can't control your feelings in that way. I know he noticed my distance though and I didn't know how to explain myself to him. I especially didn't know how because I noticed him being seriously affected by the BLM movement. When I went to the meet up at City Hall I had tried to reach out to him there but he ignored my messages, I believe he was ignoring all messages though. I spotted him in the distance and made my way over and sat with him during the speeches. I could feel how drained he was. I could feel the sadness and pain rolling off him. So I sat there quietly next to him to remind him he wasn't alone. I watched people of every age and race come together to take a stand against the inequality. I didn't understand the people on the sidelines joking around and having a fun time together when this isn't meant to be fun. I wanted to judge them but I stopped myself because at least they were there helping take a stand for what's wrong in the world right now. I also reasoned that maybe these friends hadn't seen each other since before Covid and maybe they were reuniting for the first time since. It still seemed so wrong to me that they were laughing in the corner while my friend of color was next to me holding back tears as they read of the names of those who passed simply because of their skin color.
We stayed quiet the whole time as we watched the speeches come to an end. Watching a sea of those dressed in black fill the streets again as everyone went their seperate ways. I couldn't help but think how it looked like a funeral, how it felt like one. I felt myself holding back tears as I thought back to the list of names of those who passed away for reasons we shouldn't have to still be fighting in 2020. For reasons we should have never had to fight for, ever.
Mark and I started the walk back home, stopping at Perk on the way to pick up beer. I tried to make a few light hearted jokes on the way, a few I got a laugh from others just a 'Hmph'. I told him I could make my way home from Perk if he wanted to just head home but he insisted on walking me all the way. I hated feeling the pain of someone I cared for and not being able to help him. Not being able to help the pain that surrounds me over injustice and inequality.
I never understood the hatred for a person or a group of people simply for who they are or how they look. When I was with R and I saw and felt the pain he felt when someone mindlessly or intentionally misgendered him it completely baffled and angered me because I genuinely don't understand how people can only see things so black or white- no just white, not even black, just white- with no in between. How people can have so little care for someone simply because they don't understand or even tried to understand something different from their views and/or how they were raised. To take the time to understand what's different about someone else is to allow yourself to grow and you are NEVER too old to grow. Some people refuse to accept that, but those speaking out and taking a stand are demanding us to grow and like it or not we will. I can only hope that we don't lose more of our proud soldiers in this fight but we will chant their name and refuse to allow them to be forgotten if we do. Those that refuse to change their views and grow up will fall behind and be forgotten.

(1/?)So, i have a really weird thing (topic?)I wanted to ask you about. It's kind of cringey and I understand if you don't answer this. I am a shy, social anxiety-filled fifteen year old that, much like yourself, is obsessed with the Hales, Teen Wolf, and a lot of other fictional t.v. shows/books. I'm also very overweight (trying to work on that though but lmao it's a process), and I'm also Christian. Honestly Idk why I am writing you with this but I've followed you for nearly a year now
(2/?) and I went anon because this is kinda aweird thing to bring up, but anyway, on with the point: my best friend, whoI've known for ten years now, has a boyfriend. They've been dating for roughlya year, and they've been having sex. She just turned 16 in December. I wasreally shocked when I found out. I knew that they had sex at least once a whilebefore this, but she told me that it went badly and that she changed her mindhalfway through it and that she felt like she was being forced (3/?) into it and all this other stuff but shestayed with him anyway. Anyway, Friday she told me they've been having sex fora while now actually and of course I always questioned why she was still withhim after that first time because why the heck would you want to stay withsomeone if you feel like they forced you into sex but it's not my life so whatever,at least they're using protection. Okay, further on to the point. There are alot of girls in my grade having sex. I took a vow of (4/?) abstinence a while ago because even though it seems to begetting harder and harder these days to wait until marriage, I saw a meme withJesus in it and a guy and a gal, they both had talk bubbles saying "Iconsent!" but Jesus had one that said "I don't!" And I guessthat got to me because the next thing I know I'm promising Jesus to wait untilmarriage (I'm being serious. I'm not trolling you right now. I'd find the memeand send it if you could do that on this) and I don't judge other (5/?) people if they choose to do different for the same reasonI don't judge people who've had abortions or people who participate inrecreational marijuana use: it's not my body so I'm not going to act like Ishould have an opinion over it. I've also never had a real relationship. Likeyeah, I had those stupid middle school relationships of convenience that lastfor like a week or a month and you where you kiss on the lips every once in awhile and yada yada yada, but never one where you go on (6/?) dates and change your Facebook status and actually developfeelings for the other person and I used to think it was because I'm fat, butI've realized that being fat does not make me ugly, so I started thinking it'sbecause I'm shy and started pushing myself to be more open and that stilldidn't work so finally I complained to my best friend (who I mentioned earlier)and she says it's because people know I don't "put out" and that it'salso because I'm smart and sometimes being pretty and (7/?) smart can be intimidating to people so, in her words,that's why I'm single. Even if it is why it still kind-- scratch that, REALLY,gets to me. And I know a lot of high school relationships don't last and thatthe real stuff doesn't happen until college but I've been feeling really lonelyfor a while now and I'm tired of no boys (or girls) ever taking an interest inme. I'm not saying I'd be the perfect partner in a relationship, but I know I'dtreat the other person with respect and give (8?/) what I have (minus my virginity unless they want to goahead and put a ring on it because I love Jesus), so why the heck is it thesetrampy girls who only care about updating their next Facebook status (I don'thave Facebook, I deleted it a couple months ago) always have boyfriends andgirlfriends and I'm over here spending my Saturday nights reading Teen Wolf fanfiction about fictional characters in amazing relationships and having to hearsecond hand about how amazing it is to (9/?) be in a relationship. And I'm not trying to sound like oneof those boy crazed teenagers whose lives revolve around being in arelationship because I know I can live without being in one. I know it's notthe end of the world if I never find a guy or gal or just don't until later inlife. Life goes on. The world keeps spinning. I just keep hearing about sex andboys and relationships from all these other girls and it makes me jealous andfrustrated and even more lonely all at the same time. (10/10) I am so sorry to flood your ask with my teenage angst haha.I didn't mean for it to turn into a rant and end up being this long. I guesswhat I'm trying to say is, from one Christian gal to another, can you relate?From what I gather you're only older than me by like four or five years so youmust remember what it was like to be fifteen and surrounded by girls like theones I've described. Any advice would be much appreciated but I understand ifyou don't respond. God bless xox
Wow, what a question haha! In all seriousness, I do hope that what I’m about to write can actually offer you some sort of comfort or reassurance or something along those lines. I’m about to pour my heart out, so be prepared!
First, a bit on the sex thing. WHY ARE PEOPLE HAVING SEX SO YOUNG I DON’T UNDERSTAND???? Like, how do you even know what everything is and where it goes and how it works and just.....what?!?! I have NEVER understood that! It completely baffles me. Especially after having sex! 
I was 17 when I lost my virginity and (due to many complicated things that have happened since) I wish that it hadn’t happened, but I’m also grateful it did because I learned a lot and my life has taken a path I never quite imagined that it wouldn’t have otherwise. But God has really put abstinence on my heart in the last year and I have dedicated my life to that now.
So please, DO NOT DO ANYTHING YOU DON’T WANT TO DO. You CAN say no! And if you feel called to a path of abstinence, then you follow that path, darling! I think is wonderful and amazing and it really makes me so happy to hear. 
However, I know how hard it is when everybody else around you seems to be having sex. Sexual temptation is hard, so hard to deal with. But God won’t give us anything we can’t handle! 
Now...
I can honestly relate to so much of what you are saying on such a deep level that it is a little scary. Throughout school I struggled with my weight and my looks and I’ve always been socially awkward and kind of the ‘weird girl’. I’ve also always been rather smart, the top of my class, always got great grades and cared about my work, blah blah blah. Guys didn’t notice me, and the few that did weren’t ones that I necessarily reciprocated feelings for. 
So, I know exactly how lonely, difficult and disappointing that existence can be. Especially when you see all your friends or just others around you getting hit on or dating people or in what seem to be amazing relationships. 
But then came Ethan. 
He and I were together for three years. That relationship was toxic right out of the gate. We were so off and on it was ridiculous. He used me for sexual things. He practically cheated on me, multiple times. And yet he’d tell me how much he loved me and cared about me and couldn’t be without me in his life. And I just took it. All of it. 
Until one day I said, ‘I’m a human being and I deserve to be treated with respect and love’. To keep from boring you with all the gory details, I ended up breaking up with him several months after. And a lot of that breakup had to do with the fact that he was a major temptation in my life and God was telling me basically ‘hey, time to stop doing sexual things and start saving yourself for marriage!’ 
So trust me, relationships aren’t all they seem to be cracked up to be.
And now here I am, trying my best to be a single Christian girl in a world that seems to go very much against all of that (being single and a Christian). And it is tough. So very tough.
I am lonely. Hell, I was in a relationship for 3 years! I’m not used to this whole single thing lol so I completely understand. And all of a sudden it’s like nobody notices me again. I’m back to being that invisible girl, too shy to speak up and when she does it doesn’t seem to get her anywhere. Somewhere between pretty and not pretty enough, always stuck in the in-between of everything. Smart, but not quite smart enough. Skinny, but not quite skinny enough. Blah blah blah.
And it is SO frustrating to see all these people that look superficial or shallow or whatever getting all this attention when you know that you have so much to give. I feel that way all the time! 
So I completely, 100% understand. I do! 
But the most important thing to remember is that God loves you. He will always love you. You will always be His child, His beloved, made in His image and beautiful just the way you are. 
I know it’s hard. It’s so hard. But let the Lord guide you, and I promise He will never steer you wrong! 
You’re right, not having a partner right now isn’t the end of the world. But it does suck sometimes. And when those feelings settle in, turn to God for comfort and guidance. Let Him fill up that part that seems to be lacking. Because He’ll do it better than anybody ever could.
Honestly, honey, the best advice I can give is to just keep your chin up. Hold your head high, know your own worth, and don’t compromise it for anything. I know it sucks, I know it’s hard, I know it’s lonely. But one day, one day it’ll pay off. Trust in the Lord, He will provide! He will never give you anything more than you can handle. And He will always love you.
I hope this helped at least a little bit! Please feel free to message me privately if you feel comfortable or send in another anonymous message :) I will always be here to talk and try my best to offer advice and love!!!
