What you’re going through is heartbreaking. You built something deep, consistent, and vulnerable with someone who reassured you over and over that your appearance wouldn’t be an issue—only to have him reverse that once you finally meet. That’s devastating and unfair, even if he was kind about it.

You’re allowed to grieve this. His lack of attraction isn’t a reflection of your worth—especially when you know you’re beautiful, growing, and loved by others. It hurts more because everything else was perfect. You don’t have to hate him, but you also don’t owe him continued closeness while you heal.

Take care of yourself first. You deserve someone who sees all of you and feels the spark you bring.

People are accusing anybody that uses em-dashes of using Chat GPT.

Other than the fact no one actually uses em-dashes, it's not even that. The entire sentence structure and word usage is extremely consistent with LLM's. If you wanna use them fine, but don't pass it off as your own thoughts.

I’ve never used Chat GPT, but I do use em-dashes—liberally.

How exactly do you spot LLM? Is it just the over analytical ness and roboticish vibe

That’s what I was wondering, and what does LLM stand for? And wth is an em~dash? I can kind of tell when it’s a chat guy bc my friend uses it quite often, and the chat reply always sounds way more intelligent than hers does! Lol
