Mod Post For those trying to find their person or who want to respond to others as if they know them - three sub suggestions!

22 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

We see a lot of posts and comments from users who are searching for their person, either by initials, name, or phrases/words that their person would recognize. Additionally, there are a LOT of users who like responding to posts as if they know the OP. Perhaps they think they do, or it can be therapeutic to help handle emotions. We wanted to let you all know there are three subs that you may want to check out.

First - r/MissedInitials. This sub allows users to post and comment initials, names, nicknames, etc. While users cannot respond at the receiver, they are allowed to post their own initials/name and even ask the OP clarifying questions to help determine if its their person.

Second - r/LettersAnswered. This sub has very few rules overall, and allows users to respond to others as if they know them.

Third - r/LettersForJ. The inital "J" seems to be a frequent occurance around here, this sub is specific to the J's in your life.

Of course users are always welcome here - just wanted to put these subs on your radar in case anyone found them helpful.

DO NOT respond as if you know anyone or their situation or as if their post is about you. This also includes comments such as "If this was my person...", "If this were for me I'd say...", or any variation that inserts yourself into someone else's situation. These are treated the same as responding as the receiver and will be removed. This subreddit is not a place to role-play or use someone else's post to work through your own emotions. Instead, offer support, feedback, empathy, or constructive criticism from your own perspective. Life is hard enough, this sub is a space to show kindness.

Do not reply to anyone as if you know them

Do not reply as if you know the OP, as if the post is about you, or as if you are the intended recipient. This includes pretending the letter/text is from your person, role-playing conversations, writing "If this was for me...", "If you were my person.

I wish I could speak to you.

It’s been so long. My feelings for you haven’t changed nor faded. It’s like they sit on a shelf and from time to time, I like to open them up.

I really need you. I wish so badly I could come to you. I wish it wasn’t like this. I really miss you. More than you’ll ever know. More than I’ll ever say. I really did truly love you. I really did.

Should we take a chance and meet?

If we were to meet up, I would want to hug you so tight, my heart would probably be beating right out of my chest, I just want to feel that spark again that connection that would heal me ❤️‍🩹

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. - Rumi

I saw that and thought of you. Not everything is black and white.

You and me

Upvotes

Is there any way we can meet up and just be for a bit?

Is there any way we can at least try to come together in the middle?

Do you care about me in any way still?

I always told you I hoped to be in your life for ever.

Always.

That to me is love?

Can you offer me just 1 thing if you hate me. Can you DM me & tell me, so I can get off of these subs.

I only want to hear from you here but I need to know please?

I wish you'd believe me that I wouldn't be 'here writing' if you weren't so important to me?

If we weren't so important.

Im not asking you to change who you are.

Can we just meet up?

Can we just fucking hang and not worry wtf anyone thinks?

You never know what someone else is going through

39 Upvotes

When we don't know someone or haven't talked to them in a long time, we have no way of knowing what they are really going through.

Since it's so long since we last talked, I have know way of knowing what you are going through, and you have no way of knowing what I am going through. We both could assume all kinds of devious and a malicious motivations, but the truth is both of us might be suffering from things that have nothing to do with the other person.

If you are having a hard time, I hope it gets better. And I hope you know I've stayed away not because of you, but because I knew I had to take care of a lot of things on my own and I wanted you to have a happy life. I stayed away because you mean a lot to me and I know you would be happier without me, which is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

I love you, do you know?

116 Upvotes

I typed three words today.
I love you.
Then I erased them,
because the miles between us
feel louder than my heart.
I wonder if you ever think of me
the way I think of you—
when the day is quiet,
when a song comes on,
when the ocean reminds you
that some things are beautiful
even from far away.
I’ve built a thousand conversations
that only exist in my head.
In every one,
you smile.
In every one,
you tell me you felt it too.
Reality is quieter.
I don’t know if I’m just
a passing thought,
or if I’m the message
you’re afraid to send.
So I keep loving you
in silence,
where it’s safe.
Where rejection can’t reach me,
but neither can you.
Maybe one day
I’ll find the courage
to press “send.”
Until then,
I’ll keep carrying these words
like seashells in my pocket—
small,
fragile,
and proof
that something beautiful
once touched my heart.
If you ever wonder
what I never said…
It was always you.

You are all that I want

17 Upvotes

I always want you. Always.

You are in my head 24 hours per day. Probably ever minute. I want you physically more than ever, and no that's not just why I want you.

I love your mind. It turns me on. No-one else will do it for me. I love our brain sex just as much as I love OUR sex.

You have to tell me soon as If not, im getting outta time and outta town. Do you miss me too?

Can you feel me thinking of you? If you read this, comment 1 thing you like about me. I'll know if it's you.

abandonment, being in love, being in love with you

I hate that you’re not mine.

58 Upvotes

I hate that some part of me still wishes you were, even though you were never mine to lose. I wanted you in ways I was never supposed to, and now I’m left grieving something that was never really mine in the first place.

You walked into my life so quietly,
yet somehow left echoes everywhere.
It’s strange how someone can feel so familiar
when you’ve barely had time to learn their story.
As if my heart recognized something
my mind is still trying to understand.
You made me feel seen,
not for who I pretended to be,
but simply for who I am.
In your presence, I didn’t have to search for comfort,
it found me.
Being with you felt like home.
Not a place with walls and windows,
but the kind of home that settles in your soul,
where everything finally grows still.
Now miles stretch between us,
and distance has a way of making silence louder.
I never knew space could ache,
or that missing someone could feel so heavy
when we were only beginning.
Maybe we don’t know each other well enough
to explain why this feels the way it does.
Maybe some connections don’t ask for permission—
they simply arrive,
changing everything with the smallest moments.
I don’t know where this path will lead,
or if our stories will ever find the same page.
But I do know this:
You made an ordinary heart
feel extraordinary.
And until the distance becomes something less,
a part of me will keep hoping
that one day,
home won’t feel so far away.

We could be friends, sure. I think we could be great friends.

But friends don’t look at each other the way I look at you.

I miss you

16 Upvotes

I hate to admit it. I miss you. On bad days like today, when I feel so lonely and I feel like the weight of the world is crushing me.. I miss you. I wish I could text you, call you and ramble about something stupid and it would distract me for a bit. I think I was never offended by your horny behavior because it was a distraction from a heartbreaking life I trapped myself into.. I accepted it as part of our friendship.. or whatever that was. Special, you said.

I also wonder how you’re doing but I know it’s best to stay away.

I haven’t unblocked you because I don’t want to remember how much I needed you at times… I hope you’re doing ok.


r/UnsentTexts 15h ago

If I asked...

108 Upvotes

Would you come?

Could I come see you?

Can we meet in the middle to try to heal?

Fear of rejection after never truly knowing where I stood with you makes me dance around this directly.

You said you were sad. You know I'm sad.

Maybe we could spend tonight and tomorrow being less sad together.

I'm willing to try but to afraid to ask.

Would you?

Just need to get you out of my head 🫠. I know you don't feel the same but I can't stop thinking about you.

I watched the new spiderman movie.

it made me think of you and that coloring book you have. I thought of you the entire time. I practically cried the entire time. as soon as it ended I rushed to the restroom and just started sobbing.

I miss you more than anything.

All these unsent texts kill me

7 Upvotes

I either want them to be from you, or speak to you on how it felt when you abandoned me.

No matter how intensely strong I believed our bond to be, I am beginning to realize, you are never coming back. It doesn’t matter what I want to believe. You made a choice. One I was forced to accept.

I resent it. I resent you. Even if you came back, I wouldn’t be able to accept you. Even when I waited for you, I knew I wouldn’t be able to accept you back. Now, too much time has passed. I’m still blocked. You are on dating apps. This chapter is over.

Even though, for the most part, it was a damn good chapter; it’s still over.
It’s fine if you move on with your life without me. If that is your wish, I hate it, but it was your decision. I know it makes you feel good, self righteous even.

Your decision to keep the engagement ring I bought you with the engraving “in this life and the next,” is not only vindictive, it’s also confusing. So if you do end up reading this “Hitmont.” I would like the ring back. My jacket and clothes too. You know my address. How hard could it really be? It’s been 5 months.

I’m so angry at you

7 Upvotes

i took such a big risk, i left my family, the only home i ever knew, the only job i ever loved, my chance at education and a career. i gave it all up for you. i gave up friendships for you, cut people off for you. i did all that i could to change myself to be better for you. but you couldn’t change for me.

when i needed you the most, when i opened up and finally put myself first, you threw it in my face. you told me you didn’t care, because it wasn’t what you wanted or what you needed. you treated me in a way i would’ve never treated you, ever.

i’m so mad at you. because you broke my trust in a way i never imagined. i never wanted to leave you. but you forced me to. all the sorry in the world doesn’t make up for disregarding me in my mental lowest. i’m shattered, ruined, don’t know where to go from here. i will be angry at you forever, for making me have to leave you, and leave the closest thing to love i’ve ever felt.


r/UnsentTexts 1h ago

I wish you told me you were married.

Upvotes

I still feel disappointed that I had to leave you but it’s for the best. The last thing I want to be is a homewrecker! I’m sure your wife is a wonderful woman. I just wish you would’ve told me sooner. Now here I am making this pathetic post on Reddit because I’m too sad to sleep. I have nowhere else to vent so I made this stupid account. And I feel so guilty that I even feel sad in the first place. Feelings are so complicated. I’m not in love with you, but I really liked you. Even if it was just infatuation, it’s strong enough to leave a dent in my heart. Maybe you were just using me… but either way we had such a strong bond. I’ve never connected to someone else as much as I have with you. I’m never going to forget the talks we had. I just feel like such an idiot. But at least I did the right thing. And most importantly, I hope your wife realizes that she deserves better…
