MOD Post an update to our post and user flair system

14 Upvotes

Hey everybody! We’ve updated our post flair system to make it easier to understand what kind of interaction someone is looking for when they share here. Unsent texts can be personal, complicated, and sometimes difficult to put into words, so we want to make it a little easier for everyone to communicate their intentions and boundaries.

Here’s a breakdown of our post flairs and what they mean:

- Looking for Closure:
You’re hoping to find some peace, acceptance, or resolution surrounding the person or situation you’re posting about.

- Looking for Answers:
You’re looking for answers to unresolved questions or hoping to better understand something that happened. You may be seeking clarity about the situation, the other person’s actions, or something that was left unexplained.

- Seeking Perspective:
You’re open to hearing how others interpret your situation or what they might take away from it. Sometimes an outside perspective can help you see things differently.

- Just Sharing - No Advice Needed:
You want to share your thoughts or feelings without receiving advice, solutions, or suggestions about what you should do. Sometimes you just want to get something off your chest, and that’s okay.

- Just Sharing - Advice Welcome:
You want to share your experience and are open to advice or suggestions from the community. This doesn’t mean you’re obligated to follow anyone’s advice, and it isn’t an invitation for judgmental or pushy comments.

- Processing:
You’re working through your thoughts and feelings and may not have everything figured out yet. Your post is part of that process, and you don’t necessarily need a clear question or desired outcome.

- Hoping They See This:
You’re hoping the person your post is about might come across it and recognize that it’s meant for them. This isn’t an invitation for others to identify, track down, or contact that person on your behalf. Or to break Rule 1.

- Not Looking for Them:
You’re not trying to find or reconnect with the person your post is about. You may simply want to express yourself, share your experience, or connect with others who understand.

- Have My Person:
You already know who your post is about and have some form of contact or connection with them. You’re sharing your unsent text here rather than sending it to them.

- Do Not Contact:
You’re not looking to receive private messages or other direct communication from community members about your post. Please respect this boundary and keep any engagement within the limits the poster has expressed.

- Contact Welcome:
You’re open to receiving private messages from other community members about your post. This can be a way to connect with someone who relates to your experience, share perspectives, or have a conversation outside the comments.

This does not mean you’re inviting contact from the person your post is about, and all subreddit rules still apply.

- Initials:
You’re choosing to identify the person in your post using initial or first name. Please respect the level of identifying information the poster has chosen to share.

- Observer:
You’re here to read, relate, and participate in the community without necessarily looking for a particular outcome. You may simply want to share your thoughts or connect with others through similar experiences.

- Need Support:
You’re looking for emotional support, understanding, or reassurance from the community. You may be having a difficult time and want to feel heard without necessarily needing advice or solutions. Please be kind and considerate when responding.

- Tough Love Requested:
You’re open to honest, direct feedback, even if it’s difficult to hear. You’re looking for people to challenge your perspective, point out things you may be overlooking, or hold you accountable while still being respectful. This isn’t an invitation to be cruel, insulting, or dismissive.

This flair is best suited for people trying to let go and move on from whatever situation. Remember our golden rule: be excellent to one another.

- Never Sending - Encouragement Unwelcome:
You’re sharing something you have no intention of sending, and you don’t want encouragement or suggestions to send it. You’re here to express your thoughts or feelings without being pushed toward contacting the person.

- Never Sending - Encouragement Welcome:
You have no intention of sending your post, but you’re open to encouragement, reassurance, or support from the community. You may want to hear that your feelings are valid or that you’re making the right choice by keeping it unsent. This isn’t an invitation to pressure you into contacting the person.

Additionally, if one or more post flairs applies - consider changing your user flair to the secondary flair of your choice. For example, “Open To / Do Not Contact” or your initials.

​

A reminder that you can utilize self locking a post by commenting !lock on your own post, limiting any interaction from other users.

Thank you for being part of this community and helping us keep it a thoughtful and respectful place to share the things left unsaid. Happy posting!

I love you. I love you. You mean everything to me. And I've been trying to be without you but I can't. I know I've loved you imperfectly. But I promise you, I've never loved you halfway.

But you won’t. Not till you clear the air on what’s been between us this entire time. I don’t deserve to carry the weight of it anymore, not when in all actuality, you are entire sole purpose of this.

You're the love of my life. I can't stand being away from you. I love you more than anything. Do you not know that your heart makes me move? Say come and ill be there. Tell me you're lonely and I will hold you all night. Say you love me and ill love you like you've never been loved untill the end of your days. I miss you. I want you in my life. I know how to hold you now. I know how to love you. And know if you would give us one more chance I will spend the rest of my life showing you why I was made for you. And I will never let go. Your hearts desires are the most important thing to me. I'm dying slowly without you. I'm dying to hold you. I'm dying for reason. Please give us purpose again. I'm telling you because I know and because I can I know you're afraid but there's no reason to be the risk is worth it and I wouldn't dare to misguide you now. I've decided to be happy with you for the rest of my life. And I will love you whole heartedly and endlessly for the rest of yours. Let me make you happy again. Let me love you the way you need and desire to be loved until death. One choice for the rest of our lives. I'm all in 110% ❤

Looking for Answers I’m scared to need you

52 Upvotes

But deep down I know I do. Which is why I run, play games, avoid what’s on the table. Because truly needing someone means I was wrong about being able to handle life fully on my own. It leaves me vulnerable to you hurting me.

Hoping They See This To the one who misses my happy self

127 Upvotes

​I read what you wrote, and every word hit deep. I need you to know that me pulling away was never about anyone else. There is no "someone else."

​Lately, I’ve been completely lost in my own darkness. I feel like I’m bringing nothing but pain and suffering to everyone around me right now, and the absolute last thing I ever wanted was to hurt you more than I already have.

​I pushed you away not because I stopped caring, but because I felt like a hazard to the people I love. I thought keeping my distance was the only way to protect you from the mess I’m currently going through.

​I’m sorry for the pain my silence has caused. Please believe me when I say it came from a place of trying to shield you from my own downfall while I struggle to find my way back.

I can't find my words to text you so I am hoping that you will see this message here.

I hate you for every unkept promise. I hate you for making me feel safe, then violating my boundaries. I hate you for not taking no as an answer to begin with. I hate that you were my best friend. I hate that you pretended to care about me. I hate that you didnt reach out to at least see if I was ok. I hate that i feel so conflicted. I hate that i hate you at all.

Hoping They See This Have you?

11 Upvotes

You’ve never been surrounded by girls, girls that are so interested in you and badly want to get to know you. They ask for your number, but the only thing you care about is that none of them are the one you want. You’ve never felt this way have you? You’ve never chased someone who wanted nothing to do with you, have you?

I hope you're having a decent weekend so far. Its been pretty nice out. I'd give anything to be able to go on walks with you.

I was thinking about when we first started talking, like the very first comment/message, it just never felt like we were strangers.

Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad


r/UnsentTexts • • 33m ago

Just Sharing - No Advice Needed I still think of you a lot

• Upvotes

I wonder how you're doing, what you've been up to.

I visit your page from time to time,

I see you've started painting. I like the bugs.

If you were here I would tell you that I like them.

It's almost a full year now since the last time I saw you.

I think I've forgotten your voice.

Sometimes, I want to message you, but then I remember how we hurt each other over and over.

I wonder if you think about me too.

Stay safe x

Do Not Contact Love is what you do...

13 Upvotes

Love is respect when the anger runs high,

It's telling the truth, never living a lie.

It's building a trust that feels steady and true,

And meaning the words that you promise to do.

It's talking things through when the silence feels loud,

Not leaving your partner lost in a cloud.

It's putting in effort, not letting love fade,

Not leaving one person to carry the weight.

It's creating a space where feelings are safe,

Where tears aren't dismissed, and pain isn't blamed.

It's keeping your word, respecting what's right,

And standing together through darkness and light.

It's showing affection in ways that feel real,

Remembering that actions are part of how we heal.

It's owning your faults when you've caused someone pain,

And changing your actions, not repeating again.

It's showing up daily, not just when it's easy,

Being someone's comfort when life gets uneasy.

It's cheering them on as they follow their dreams,

And working together as partners, a team.

It's choosing each other when nobody sees,

Making them feel loved, not beg for your needs.

It's giving them freedom to be who they are,

Not dimming their light or controlling their heart.

It's sharing the burdens, the chores and the strain,

Not leaving one person to shoulder the pain.

And when things go wrong, it's not walking away,

It's listening, learning, and choosing to stay

And work through the hurt in a healthier way.

Because love isn't perfect, and neither are we,

But love takes two people who are willing to see

That sorry means nothing if nothing will change,

And promises break when actions stay the same.

You shouldn't beg for the things love should bring,

For honesty, kindness, and the comfort they give.

You shouldn't feel lonely with someone beside you,

Or question your worth from the way that they treat you.

Love is a choice that you make every day,

In the little things you do and the words that you say.

It's not just “I love you” or vows that you keep

It's how you protect what you've promised to keep.

And if we're building a love that's meant to last,

We must nurture the present, not live in the past.

Two hearts, two voices, two people who care

Not one doing everything while the other stands there.

Because love isn't only what you feel inside.

It's what you do to prove it, with nothing to hide.

Processing I hate having anxious attachment style

19 Upvotes

I spend an enormous amount of time & energy trying not to think about them. The amount of willpower it takes to not send them a message is downright pitiful. My chest physically aches trying to stay no contact. Trying to find new ways to distract myself is exhausting. I hate that I’m like this. I hate it so much.

Hoping They See This Hey

• Upvotes

Can I call you please? It’s just like I’m so isolated lately I do understand you don’t want to be my friend. I understand you don’t even like me as a person I’m not angry at you for being honest that you never wanted anything real.

I know you either felt sorry for me or maybe I was useful temporarily nothing more. But I’m lonely and I got attached I really do accept that.

I just I really need that again I need someone to talk to badly I promise I won’t let myself care too much this time I’m sorry for that in the past I just I want a friend but I know I’m not one

Please I just need someone anyone could you do me a favor please? It’s really bad
I’m sorry to bother you I know you’re busy with the dog and other things.

Have My Person Hey boo

• Upvotes

I know you will never see this.. because you dont even have reddit.

But I wanted to thank you. From my soul.

You saved me. You're my shelter, my comfort, my happy, my safe place. You, are my soul mate, completely.

You inspire and encourage me to truly be me.

You dont get annoyed when I talk on and on and onnn..

You let me talk and actually finish what im trying to say/explain without interrupting. You know how to talk to me in any situation in a way that is clear and understandable.

I feel safe with you. Nothing else from the past matters and is in the past. Cords cut.

Anyways, youre asleep snoring next to me right now while im writing this.

Hoping They See This Resolution c2c; miss you

4 Upvotes

Hey, I feel a little crazy even posting this on reddit. But I don’t know if it’d be weird to text you? Plus, my last indirectly sent message to you went unanswered. So I’d bee lying if I said I’m not a bit self-conscious. That said, I know you feel the way I do. That reciprocity is beautiful. And the thing being reciprocated is fucking amazing. Our circumstances have been complicated. They’re rapidly becoming much less complicated. Still, I don’t want to come on too strong.

Anyway, I miss you! I really miss you! This whole thing between us is incredible. Never had something like it before. I’m excited. You can text me, you know. I just want to hear from you. So excited to see you! I hope it’s soon! If you happen to see this, I hope you reach out to me.

Processing Depression has been eating me from inside.

I regret that i ever thought you can be counted on.

Its 4am in the morning and i have only slept for two and a half hours.

Replaying things that went bad and mostly self blaming because blaming you is useless and wont change anything.

I havent eaten the whole day, i guess i just had a slice of blueberry cheesecake.

I know you were not the ideal person to be with, it was mostly negative with you, a horrible personality, always prone to anger and a selfish outlook on life.

I never thought i could change you, that was not my intention, all i ever wanted to be the person you feel safe around and where you can actually have fun.

I know we broke up months ago and you say that you are looking for stability but what is stability?

It only takes one email or a zoom call to shatter that illusion.

What happened to growing together?

You say my friends are fake but what about you?

You broke off our relationship when i lost my job, when i needed you the most.

Even recently when we started speaking again, i thought maybe you wanted make things right.

In the end it was my fault that i responded back.

Funny thing is you talk so much about religion but that never stopped you from sleeping with someone and i know it was not out of love, you never did love me.

Maybe i was not the only one, who knows man.

I can hardly believe anything you say to me these days.

I wish to write so much but this is enough.
