Making millions, failing, causing global damage, then crying when people comment is quite nice and not at all hypocritical.

So close, yet so far…as once Elvis said

We believe you CrowdStrike, but what about Microsoft?

Mirroring is when you naturally match the other person’s behavior, imitating their gestures, speech patterns, and so on, but it’s not the same as copying someone. It usually happens when you’re comfortable with each other and often goes unnoticed by both of you. I believe it’s mostly a subconscious action.

It can have a romantic element to it, but you can also feel it with close friends. And mirroring alone doesn’t define chemistry, it’s more about the overall feeling, as I mentioned.

It’s clear that you made the right decision by sharing your feelings. You shouldn’t try to force anything. And don’t be too hard on yourself, this happens in many relationships. What you do afterwards is what matters.

When I was younger, I had platonic feelings for someone I dated, and I ended the relationship because of it. Eventually, I reconnected with her, and we became friends. I thought that having her in my life as a friend was exactly what I wanted since my love for her felt purely platonic. But I was wrong. Feelings can change and it’s easy to get them mixed up. She got married, and I went on to have a few relationships, but I always felt like something was missing. We stayed friends, and after she divorced, I confessed my feelings. We decided to try again and see where it goes. It’s now been almost a decade since we got back together and we are very much in love.

Every relationship takes effort to keep the spark alive. Feelings are complex and passion also fades. There are other aspects that are more important. In your case, I think you’re imposing this on yourself to avoid hurting or putting pressure on her. Referring to her as a sister might be your way of protecting her, perhaps from your own sexual desires. It seems like you turned off your sexual instincts out of respect and fear, which might have led to your relationship becoming platonic. Maybe your relationship could work if you’re both open with each other and work to break down the barriers you’ve put up out of fear, yours of pressuring her and hers of intimacy. Sometimes a break and a fresh start might rekindle the connection. After all, a strong friendship is the foundation of a healthy relationship, and it’s harder to build than attraction alone.

I just hope you don’t go through the same thing I did, because it’s terrible to be haunted by what if’s for years. At the same time, it’s not healthy to force something or someone. But love, in any form, is beautiful. It’s hard to find it and even harder to find a wonderful person to share it with, so don’t let that be wasted. Whether you stay friends after she heals, or you give it a second chance, I just hope you’ll be in each other’s lives cause you both seem to truly care.

It’s something you just feel, even if it’s hard to explain. Things naturally flow, and even silence isn’t awkward with the right person.

You can talk about anything, you’re in sync, you make eye contact, and sometimes you even mirror each other’s actions.

For me, it’s all about the feeling and the vibe, you just know. If you’ve spent enough time with someone, you’ll definitely sense if there’s chemistry there.

It is true that relationships require work, but they are worth it. It just depends on the choices you make. In the end, everything is a decision. Starting with the partner you want to share your life with and ending with the course of the relationship. We may not realise it at the time, but that’s the way it is. If you love someone, you have to make an effort to be with them.

A relationship isn’t all honey, feelings are complicated and sometimes you have to put things into perspective. But if you find a great partner and a healthy relationship, you’ll see that everything will fall into place.

A toxic relationship can be more intriguing than a healthy one at times. The last one may seem boring. So it all depends on the choices you make.

If you like being alone, that’s fine, but don’t lie to yourself. I did the same thing when I was younger. I believed that I didn’t require anyone or that I didn’t feel the way I was supposed to, but I was wrong.

Ultimately, most of us desire to have someone to come home to. It’s just up to you whether you choose a partner who will bring you peace or problems.

The best example of a terrible “rebranding”, but thank God, the platform is going down

Is that really a surprise? These big companies have always preyed on children and minors because they are vulnerable. It’s all about money
