    Ghosting has nothing to do with you it's their immaturity and not willing to do life as an adult😮 Just do you and live life to it's fullest!! 🎉

    I love videos like this as I can relate to anxiety and I find that multitasking exacerbates my anxiety. Breathe! Hug Tika! Exercise! Let it go and don't let someone else cause you to feel overwhelmed- they're not worth your energy. Yes to extensions definitely since you have not done so in a while. I like when you share your thoughts as it helps me deal with my own issues and anxiety. Enjoy Austin and hugs to adorable Tika! And if no one tells you everyone here appreciates and adores you!!!! We care!!! 😍☺️🥰❤️😊🌴☀️🦩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    Date multiple people. Keep things formal in the beginning and don’t get hung up on anyone in particular. Let them be the ones to pursue you & work hard to prove their value to you. Once I changed my perspective from “this guys has potential” to “what has this person shown me so far with his ACTIONS”, everything changed. Men will tell you anything you want to hear, but their actions will tell you everything you need to know!! ♥️

    I got ghosted about three weeks ago after the best first date I’ve ever been on. Such a bummer. I was torn up and constantly thinking about it for a week, and now I’m over it. It’s such an annoying cycle. I definitely don’t think because your hurt it means it’s “not ready.” Your brain is just grasping to whatever you knew and coping. It’s hard out here!

    The fact you posted this video today when I needed to relate to someone going through a couple of uneasy situations- involving a trip, personal friendships & getting my period and being super emotional is wild. Appreciate you being real and sharing- and trust you are not alone. Anxiety sucks and as much as we all know not to give other people the power to control us- its SO much easier said than done. Hopefully next weeks a better week mentally for everyone 😂

    Dating is the worst. I got divorced at 27 and getting back in the dating pool again was not fun...guys in their 30s are so hot and cold and some are just absolutely disgusting and atrocious, BUT I did meet a few great guys in the mix and ultimately ended up meeting THE one not soon after feeling like I wanted to give up. We have been married 5 years now and have a sweet baby boy together and life is amazing, hard still at times, but so good! So, don't give up! Good things can happen, I promise. But, keep taking care of yourself and finding that self love because that is so important!

    Thank you for always sharing your emotions - it's truly so helpful. I also got ghosted and it was a lot harder to get over than I anticipated. It's difficult to not take it personally even though it's obviously that person's loss and immaturity. But it's just defeating to start all over again! Your person is out there and they won't make you wonder or question how they feel about you!💜

    The fact that you're giving this random person power over you if he doesn't text back tells me that you are not ready to date. No judgment here whatsoever. I have been there trust me. Fill your cup up first, You are doing amazing. You are so beautiful. And always remember the universe will never let anything pass you by that is meant for you... that is universal law. So anything that is forced is not for you. You will never have to chase. Breath and enjoy your beautiful life with tika. Much love. ❤

    I dont normally comment but this comment is absolutely ridiculous. Her being upset about being ghosted is completely normal and not saying she's not ready to date. In actual fact it's showing she is ready. She's ready to commit to someone and find that one. Getting upset about wanting something to work and then being upset about being ghosted, something you have no control over is so normal. We can't help there are still peoplenput there who do this. If the guy isn't into it, thats okay, and he just needs to be upfront rather than play her like this. Sorry but seriously.....
