[L] negative feelings towards my aunt

To give some background I am a 22 year old male who was raised by my mother and father who raised me very well. They were both gone working for a majority of my child hood before they divorced. I was 11 when they divorced and lived with my mom. When she was gone working I stayed with me aunt. My aunt was a licensed therapist who helped me through the divorce. I stayed with her a lot from the age 11-17. She was never like a mother figure for me but more of a friend. After a while around 13-14 I started to notice I was attracted to her. I never told anyone because I was scared. Fast forward to 18 year old I got in a relationship and didn’t have this problem any more. Now fast forward to present day I am recently single and my aunt is recently divorced and I’m attracted to her again. I hate these feelings and wish I wasn’t. I have struggled with the idea of telling her but am scared she will be mad. I love her (not in an inappropriate way) and she has always been there for me. I just don’t understand why I feel this way when no part inside of me wants to feel this. Is something wrong with me? Did my trauma cause this or what? If you have any advice feel free to share.

22m looking for long term friends

I work and go to school full time so I really don’t have time to go out and make friends. I have a few friends who I see occasionally when our schedules line up but it’s never consistent. Looking for people to chat with who aren’t gonna send a chat and then ghost me.

Hobbies - fishing, bjj, working out, cooking, golf, studying physics/space, reading

Interest - science, space, MMA, sports, engineering

Music - pretty much all genres but usually listen to grunge/alt rock

Books - any books related to self help, science, space and general knowledge

These are things I like but I love to learn so I am open to researching anything you’d like to discuss. We can talk about anything (with in reason no off the wall bs) and share experiences. Just looking for a good person to have genuine conversations with. Thanks.

Why Does Gravity Cause Time to Slow Down in General Relativity?

I recently finished a college physics course and became really interested all aspects of physics but particularly in relativity and astrophysics. I understand that gravity can cause time dilation, but I’m having trouble understanding the physical reason behind it. In general relativity, what is actually happening that causes time to pass differently near massive objects?

Beginner Physics/Astrophysics Book Recommendations for Someone New to Science Reading?

I’m looking for beginner friendly books about physics, astrophysics, space, and science in general. I normally read mostly self-help books, but I took physics in college recently and ended up loving it way more than I expected. Right now I’m reading Six Easy Pieces by Richard Feynman and really enjoying the way it explains concepts without being overly complicated.
