I clearly tried to change the topic to her work out multiple times and she refused to let me do so. I didnt want to get super deep into my issue, but she pulls me in and then rips me to shreds because I was vulnerable to her, I guess?

Terrible idea to unload on a stranger as your first interaction. Makes you seem weak and needy, not vulnerable and sensitive. She is right, fix yourself before you put yourself out there again otherwise you are going to hurt others and waste their time.

Yeah I would have snapped on you too. You cry "woe is me" so she offers solutions and you act like a little bitch.

She's right. You don't know how to handle your emotions.

Even if that's what happened, she still showed an amount of immaturity at the end that I wouldn't want to explore myself . You'd be dedicating your time to someone with no patience for people

I didnt want to talk about the goddam thing in the first place. She asked how I was, and I was brutally honest. I didnt ask for any goddam advice, or her input, none of that shit. I tried to get her off the conversation because I didnt want to talk about it any further.

Tbf, lots of people don't actually care what you're doing when they ask that. It's a formality for most people now. They're just waiting for their moment to talk after. Which, just accept that. Because it is how it is and you won't change it

Shes right even if she doesnt have the emotional maturity herself.

IMO You should have said, "You're right, thank you, that's a great suggestion" or something like that to disentangle yourself from that.

Instead you rebuffed her.

Generally a bad idea to unload personal issues with strangers, but she's the bigger yikes tbh.

Personal experience: man, woman, doesnt matter. The kinds of people who get offended that they made you uncomfortable are bad news. Your worst sin was an akward as hell opener. She doubled down on trying to play psychiatrist to a stranger she just met and mocked you when you werent receptive to that. Even if this hadnt come up that kind of thing was gonna bite you eventually so it's best to dodge this bullet. >_>

Why did you offer it up in the first place? That's fucking weird dude. You unloaded on a complete stranger within minutes of making first contact.
The proper response is "I'm doing great, thanks for asking. Just laying in bed enjoying the evening".

You sound like a teenager whose parents just asked them how school was. Rein in your emotions and understand that no one actually gives a fuck how you are when they ask that. It's a polit conversation opener, not an invitation to use them as free therapy.

Yeah I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just so inept at social interactions that you didn't know how you'd come off with your "brutal honesty." Cause if not you're just intentionally being an asshole.

The TCs always lose with this board but the fact is unless someone asks for it nobody wants your advice. You are not a certified therapist. If someone dismisses a suggestion you put it aside and keep the conversation moving.

She is socially awkward as fuck.

Brother, you're the one that's socially awkward if you don't understand how taboo it is to unload on people when they didn't ask for it as if you think they're a therapist and then dismiss any feedback you get.

I'm not saying he should have did so, but that after his doing so it's best to move on. He was perfectly civil and she was increasingly aggressive. Him answering the questions occupies a lot less text than her being an obnoxious clown.

If you really didn't want to talk about it you wouldn't have started talking about it. She was rude but she was probably right. You really do come across as if you were just looking for someone to listen to your "woe is me" stuff and to make you feel better. Bumble is a dating app. Not a stranger's shoulder to cry on app. They're looking to start a relationship or get laid. None of them are there to get some stranger's broken heart stuff dumped in their lap.

Sure, you try to change the subject. Sort of. But not really. Because you keep reaponding to her comments about it and that keeps it on that subject despite your weak attempts to change it.

And that's not a sociopath. You basically started off the pool party by dropping a deuce in shallow end. Of course she's annoyed by your behavior.

This tbh, rereading this it seems like when she said "you got this dear" she was giving you an out to change the subject. Then you responded with "I'm not good alone" which other than being needlessly self depreciating also most likely comes off emotionally manipulative to girls who have dated dudes like that before.

I'd bet that's why she snapped on you.

So you felt like it was necessary to just unload all that, said you didn't want to cry even though you know it'll help, then when they rightfully point out that you're not handling your emotions well you get mad and insist they're the one who doesn't know how to communicate.

@Ankha I think we both would have the same thoughts on the matter and who is to blame for this entire conversation in the OP.

TC, it's okay to let yourself be sad.

I dont think being a man is the issue here TC. A few women have unloaded on me before and I was like WTF? I thought it was weird that they talked to me like I was one of their girlfriends, and I didnt know them well.

Btw, nothing wrong with unloading your emotions onto a friend or family. Its healthy to do and a good friend or relative would be supportive. But not onto a stranger.

Bruh, get off of dating apps you're not ready for it. The truth of it is, you're projecting calling her a sociopath when, it's in fact, you being one. Work on yourself, get over your ex, and come back when you're ready. Use Betterhelp if you have to. Pussy will always be there.

She wouldn't have got that rude and brutal if you hadn't accused her of ridiculuing you when she was trying to give genuine advice

I guess like, look at it from her perspective. You made attempts to change the subject, yes, but only after divulging you were super sad so she probably would have felt weird just talking about her gym sesh after that

You can't just accelerate the seriousness of a conversation and then slam the brakes on

Its weird to me that being called a grown ass man is so frustrating to TC that he takes that a mile to mean he cant have emotions. And I only point this out because TC has brought up that phrase multiple times for some reason.

But I guess I should shut up now.sigh
