I hope this is the right place to ask.. the other subreddit hasn’t had any activity in a year and i’d feel embarrassed to ask a question in there knowing it’s a ghost town in there.. I have an interview for Five Below next saturday and this will be my third retail job if hired.. I’m 16, but I’m unsure of what questions they might exactly ask😓!

I know they’ll ask the basics like tell me about yourself, previous work experience, availability, why should we hire you, etc.. but is there anything i should prepare myself for? Thanks in advance💔

on a serious note this has taken a toll on my younger self & it sucks that it took years for me to realize the severity of the situation i was put in. i hope i used the right tag, remember everybody’s situation is valid & i hope you all are doing okay.🧡

so it all started in January 2025 when I had met this guy who we’re gonna call M in this long venting story. During this time period, I was bedbound and couldn’t go to school so I had downloaded Wizz to talk to people and just to pass the time. I had met M between the hours of 9-11PM and we kind of clicked? He started off pretty freaky which is usual for guys on an app like that. I had told him I was eating and he had replied with, “eat me next?” I found it funny so I gave him my snapchat and we chatted there. I thought I had finally found a cool online friend but sometimes I wish I hadn’t met him. Our conversations were pretty normal until he started dropping little hints that he found interest in me.. need I say we had only been talking for 2 weeks at that time? I know some people fall in love fast, but 2 weeks is insanely fast in my opinion. I started to dismiss it because

1. I don’t online date & 2. we had JUST met and i wanted to only stay as friends. But I guess he kept pushing and pushing for a relationship. I kept dismissing it and we continued talking. Fast forward to February, thats when he got weirder and weirder. He even began sending me explicit photos that I did NOT ask for. I remember being flashed by him out of nowhere and broke down crying in the shower because not only did I find it weird, but it was crossing the boundary I had set for this guy. Yes I know some people are going to say block him, but thing is he had other accounts to text me off of so it was no point of blocking if he was going to be able to contact me again and again. I had initially told him it was weird but he continued doing it until he FINALLY STOPPED days later. In total he sent me 4 photos.. it was gross. Then on Valentine’s Day he got mad because I didn’t ask him out?? Then days later he started saying we were dating without even allowing me to give my say in it? Even with me telling this guy that we’re not dating he still called me his girlfriend and everything?? Let me dare even utter the words that we aren’t together and he’d go on to be mad and threaten himself🫩. Of course 15 year old me got scared because I didn’t want to be responsible for anybody’s death, so I went along with it knowing I had no feelings for this guy. Yes, I did feel bad for allowing things to go this long but I didn’t know what else to do.

In March of 2025 I met my real life boyfriend S, who I’m currently still with to this day, so I knew I had to drop M out of my life. I began acting differently and distant just so he’d get the idea that I didn’t want anything crazy with him, but that didn’t do much. He’d go on to tell his friends about me and they’d talk shit about me which was weird since.. I don’t know you guys?? What was even weirder was, even though M had told his friends about me in a mean manner he would defend me and almost ended an 5 year friendship OVER ME?? By March I was already planning on how to leave M and get him out my life for good. By April, he got worse.

Now, I love to joke around with people I’m close with. Yes, I know when and when not to joke. But if you make a joke about me of course I’m going to make a joke right back? And so thats what M would do. He’d call me fat and constantly joke on me, but when I called him fat back he’d “fake cry” and tell me he’s going to stop eating for weeks on end which i found unfair because.. I allowed you to call me names but when I do it back jokingly now you’re mad at me? I would apologize of course, but he’d just tell me that he was never sad in the first place and would only act sad to get me to apologize. Is that not gaslighting?? Or manipulation?? WHICHEVER. I did start getting tired of it so I lowered my jokes to a minimum. Even weirder thing was, he’d go on to call these celebrities his boyfriend which didn’t bother me because I had no feelings for this guy and we weren’t on the same page of love. But when I did it just to test the waters, he’d get mad and stop talking to me for HOURS??? Of course I wouldn’t expect him to not be mad, but you can’t do something and when I do it now all of a sudden the world is ending.. He would even want me to send photos of myself in explicit ways but I don’t even do those kind of things so I always declined which led to him getting mad and felt “rejected” which I found the weirdest out of everything he did.

I was scared to tell S about M because I wasn’t sure how he’d react + like I said.. I never had feelings for M and looked at him like a friend so I figured it wasn’t all so bad? But thats not all M did that was weird to me. He even went out his way to tell his mom about me? Sir.. I’m LITERALLY finding ways to block you out of my life and end things with you for good and you told your mom about me? Why?? Once I heard that I ended things by Easter of 2025. I had pretended that my new lover was on my account and texted M, and blocked M. I thought that I finally got him out of my life and went on to enjoy life with my actual boyfriend, S. But oh my gosh I was wrong.

M came back a week later TEXTING MY FRIEND ON HER INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT. He must’ve went through my followings because no way he found her account.. She showed me the messages and he began talking shit about me and calling me names he would’ve never dared to call me before.. I guess it was well deserved since I did block him without any explanation. Then in May of 2025 while I was at my grandmas house, he emailed me? I am so unsure on HOW he got my email since I never shared that information with him. I responded to the email and he texted my phone number which again, I’m confused on how he got it. We began to argue and I was getting tired of it so I said my last words and blocked him. I thought that’d be the end of it but he came back in July of 2025. He texted my friend once again and started begging for me back?? He showed her our messages and wanted her to help him win me back, but every attempt failed. I was happy with my real relationship, and didn’t want to go back to him at ALL. Then once again in August of that same year, he got his homegirl to email me and she began emailing me his photos as if i lost somebody important?? I ignored the email and continued on with my day. Then once the new school year started, thats when he became persistent. Every 2 months since August, he texted my friend to try and win me back. Every time it didn’t work, he’d get mad and leave for another 2 months. I don’t know why he thought leaving for 2 months and returning on a random school day would make me change my mind.. then i found out why he wanted me back. Since I had blocked him in April of that year he had started rushing into new relationships. Whenever one didn’t work out, he’d beg for me back. One day I was tired of it and unblocked him to tell him I didn’t want him back, then blocked him again. I guess he didn’t take that too lightly. It was another time I forgot to unblock him again and he had got mad and randomly messaged me saying, “block me.” okay?? thanks for reminding me I guess… He even got mad at the people I was following.. WE AREN’T TOGETHER? — when 2026 started he finally somewhat stopped begging for me back after a long conversation we had. I wanted to talk with him but he kept saying that he wants me back, that he told his mom about me, and that he wants to make things work. I figured why not, and only chatted with him for a week before I blocked him again. Why? Because he didn’t change. I don’t know what I expected, but it definitely wasn’t that. He was worse than before, and then got mad when I had acted cold with him. That time, I blocked him for good and never unblocked him again. Just today he texted my friend asking about good colleges near me, right? Now, it did shock me because we were born in the same year but we’re 4 months apart. I was born in November, he was born in July.

I was shocked to hear that he’s going to college meanwhile I’m going to be a Junior in highschool. So, my friend had told him to go to a local college that was in Texas & he had got mad because I live in Texas and he’s all the way in Michigan, but planning to move to Texas for College.. I don’t know if that’s coincidentally or not. He had told my friend, “fuck. Now I can’t go” ?? Why are you letting me stop you from getting your education? I found it weird, but my friend is hesitant on blocking this guy even when I beg her too. I’ve been dealing with this guy for an entire year now, and I stopped giving him my attention when I got with my current boyfriend out of respect. I thought it’d be weird to have an actual boyfriend who I can see meanwhile I’m texting some dude that’s all the way in Michigan who I don’t love in the same way anyways.. Even if I didn’t have feelings for him, I still felt like I was entertaining him which was weird. Even if I didn’t meet my boyfriend now, I still would’ve done anything in my favor to get rid of M since like I said.. I don’t online date. & I felt bad for leading this guy on just to make him happy so he wouldn’t threaten his life every second of the day. I hope he finds better even after all he put me through. I just wanted to vent this story out because this guy is still finding ways to get into contact with me even a year later. What do you guys think?? I feel like I’m stuck with this guy still by my side even when we’re no longer in contact. It’s like an endless loop, he disappears for 1-2 months then comes back on a random day and acts as if everything is good and fine.

i just need someone that doesn’t have shein or hasnt purchased anything off of shein in a year to click my link🥲 i can click back with anything you need in return

(i have an android device without tiktok, temu, etc)

For context, my chest has been hurting since last week and last week it was just the chest tightness with that “not enough air coming into my body” feeling and that was about it. Now this week it’s been weirder sensations in my chest, chest tightness + aches, random body aches, back pain, same “not enough air” feeling, tired sometimes, and just out of breath all around. I told my mom about it and we deemed it as anxiety at first, but it kept progressing which led to us going to the doctor.

We went to the doctor and she took my blood to check my iron levels and they were good but they are wanting me to make an appointment with an cardiologist to see if it’s an heart problem, then I’m assuming after that I’d have to check in with a pulmonary doctor? — and I also have to get bloodwork done too. Am I nervous? Absolutely. But I don’t exactly know how to prepare for this or what to really do. I’m 16 so I’m unsure if that changes anything😭, has anybody else went through this?
