I’ve been friends with this girl since college, and over time I got really emotionally attached to her. She also used to be very attached to me, and honestly, it felt like we were more than just friends. I don’t know if I should call it a situationship, but that’s probably the closest word.

Last year, I found out that she had a boyfriend. What hurt me the most was that she never told me about him.

So I started keeping my distance. For around 3–4 months, we barely talked. She was with her boyfriend and I was just trying to move on.

After some time, I told her that I knew she had a boyfriend. She completely denied it and said she didn’t have one. But I was pretty sure she did.

I got frustrated and said some harsh things. I told her that maybe she only talked to me because she liked the attention she got from me. After that, she disappeared for some time.

Then randomly, she started replying to my Instagram stories and slowly started talking to me again. The confusing part is that she started giving me the same kind of attention she used to. Sometimes it felt like she was trying to make things more than just friendship again.

And honestly, I don’t understand why.

If she already had someone, why did she come back to me like this? Does she actually have feelings for me, or does she just want the emotional connection and attention I give her?

This whole situation has messed with my head more than I expected. Now I find it hard to trust people and I keep questioning whether someone's attachment to me is actually genuine or they just like having me around.

I know I’m not completely innocent either. I probably handled things badly when I confronted her and said those things.

I just want some genuine advice from people who have been through something similar.

What do you think she actually wants from me? And what would you do if you were in my place?

I currently work as a Performance Marketer, but I’m trying to build an additional source of income outside my job.

I’ve tried freelancing on platforms like Fiverr and Upwork, but honestly, I haven’t been able to close a single client. I’ve also tried reaching out to people directly, but the results haven’t been great.

I know I have useful skills in Meta Ads, Google Ads, lead generation, etc., but I’m struggling with actually turning those skills into extra income.

For people who already have a full-time job and successfully built a side income, what worked for you?

Should I keep trying freelancing, focus on getting clients directly, build a personal brand, or try something completely different?

Would really appreciate some practical advice from people who have been in the same situation.

I’m currently working a job and recently switched to a new one because I wanted to grow and do something better for myself.

But honestly, lately I’ve been feeling completely unmotivated.

I don’t feel like going to the gym, learning something new, working on my skills, or even doing things that I know are good for me. I come back from work and just want to relax or scroll on my phone.

The weird part is that nothing major is necessarily wrong with my job. I just feel mentally stuck and don’t have the drive I used to have.

Has anyone else gone through something similar after switching jobs or during a career phase like this?

What helped you get your motivation back? I’d really appreciate some genuine advice or things I can try.
