For context I’m 31, and my mom is 50. She has a friend who’s 39 that I met yesterday for 4th of July. My mom invited me and a bunch of her friends to hangout by the pool and then watch fireworks later. When I first met her I thought she was cute and she was really outgoing so we got along well. She would flirt me sometimes in front of my mom which was really weird for me but still thought she was cool. Eventually I got her number and towards the end of the night we hooked up in her car in the parking garage and then my house later. And I have to say that a big part of me regrets it. I haven’t been intimate with anyone in two years and haven’t had sex in 3 and a half and as someone who’s hyper sexual it has been hell dealing with it. And I wasn’t thinking clearly. I’m not going to tell my mom anything, but don’t know about her friend. This is gonna complicate things on so many levels and her friend also has a kid which is a 1000% dealbreaker for me. Also her being my mom’s friend. I feel dumb for doing it but also like I said I haven’t been intimate in years and have been so touch starved. I’m hoping nothing else comes from this and my mom and family don’t ever find out. It’s not all bad bc now I know:

- I still got it
- women are still attracted to me(older women too)
But these things kind of feel shallow. But for the last few years I’ve felt so undesirable.

It’s also helped me realize some things. Despite being hypersexual I realize that hookups don’t work for me(which feels like a cruel joke). I don’t want to have sex with someone if we aren’t dating or I don’t feel strongly about them. It just feels empty… to me. I don’t ever want to do something like this again.

I’m 30 and have come back here every year or so for most of my life to visit my nana and I absolutely adore it here. It goes without saying how expensive it is here and I’ve always wondered what people do to afford it. What do you do?

Hi everyone. I’m agnostic, bordering on atheism and lately I’ve been struggling with the idea of death and what comes after. I turned 30 recently and it’s led to me questioning a lot of things and looking at life through a different lense. My nana whom I adore more than anything is almost 80 and I can’t lie it terrifies me to think about life without her. I’ve never met a lot of my family besides my immediate so I’ve never really had to deal with death. It terrifies me and even more so the idea that if there isn’t an afterlife this is the only time I’ll get to know and I’ll never get to speak to her again. I’m beyond any organized religion. I respect people who are but I’ll never believe in it and it doesn’t hold much logic in my opinion. How do you deal existentialism?? I know that we don’t have any choice but the older I get the more it terrifies me and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Obviously it’s about beating loneliness but I’m wondering if depression was also in mind when writing it

Hi everyone. I’m 30 and thinking of going to school for teaching. This was my plan when I graduated high school and went to college for a couple years but just didn’t work out for me. In that time I’ve felt really lost when it comes to finding a career and what to do with my life. Teaching is the only thing I’ve regularly thought about though. One thing that’s really intimidating me rn is the student teaching required. It’s 600 hours where I am and I genuinely don’t know how I can do that with no pay and still work a normal job and make life work. I struggle with some mental things that make life already difficult. How did you manage to make it through student teaching?

Idk if anyone else has noticed but these last few days have been AWFUL. I can normally get anywhere from 20-$30 an hour on weekends. Today and yesterday I made at most $16 an hour. The offerings are horrible and I keep slipping back into gold status because they’re so bad. Even with platinum I’m still getting garbage orders. I’m hoping this is just a fluke because this is going to ruin everything for me if it stays like this. Has anyone else had it rough?

I have a 23 Toyota Corolla. Whenever I used to go into park the e brake would automatically set it self up but it hasn’t at all today and I’m hoping it’s nothing serious. Anyone else had this happen?

Matterhorn is the first ride I remember going on so it has some sentimental meaning to me but I’ve never seen anything merchandise wise for it. Why not?

I have reached a new pathetic low. I think I’m the loneliest I’ve ever been and I don’t see it getting better. I haven’t been Intimate with someone in almost two years and I’m losing my mind. Over the past year there were three girls I was interested and tried to pursue. One of them was not interested in me despite appearing that way and the other two had boyfriends. I just turned 30 and words can’t describe how alone I truly feel. I have been in a lot of situationships in my life but never been in love. I feel like everyone around me is dating or married and it’s like I’m cursed to where it just won’t ever happen for me. And I’ve been trying. I don’t care about hookups anymore and atp I just want someone for them. Someone that can have fun with and constantly be around. I wouldn’t wish this type of loneliness on anyone. I am so alone. All of the time. It hurts in ways I can’t explain.

Need to get some work done on my 23 Toyota Corolla. I used to go to one of the Toyota places here in town but they tried to charge me $300 for a new battery and told me mine was dying. Went to a couple different places to check and they said my battery was fine. So now I’m not sure who to trust. Who do you go to that you trust?

Hi everyone. I’m new to super 8 but really excited to start. I have a camera shop near me that quoted me $100 to get super 8 film developed in HD. I don’t know if this a good price so I’m wondering if it may be better to buy a film developer myself or to send in? Are there cheaper options for sending in and getting high quality digital files?

Hello everyone. I’m currently really struggling with getting through next payday and really am in desperate need of some help for my rent. My landlord is very strict and if I don’t have it in full by the 5th of this month(in 4 days) I will have to move out which I cannot do. I don’t have anywhere else to go so it’s really been difficult and stressful on a level I can’t even explain. I’m willing to provide whatever information is required and I do have a couple different forms of work that I do as well. Anything helps. Please.
