How lenient is hot topic when it comes to doctor’s appointments. I’m about to start working part time. And I just want to know if I can let them know I have a doctor’s appointment the same month I start? Or would that make them consider me as unreliable? I’ll re-schedule my doctor’s appointment otherwise to a later time so I can keep this job.
Am I bad person for no longer wanting to build a relationship with my older sister? I used to growing up but now it feels like I’m tired like trying feels draining. I made friends and figured out who I am without her and came to the conclusion that I just don’t want to be her friend or force a relationship I don’t feel. I feel conflicted about this because now after all these years she’s trying to make a sibling bond. And my mom keeps asking me if that’s what I want. And I know my mom desperately wants us to get along so I keep lying. It just feels like a chore like I have to. But I don’t want to. It’s not really her fault she’s trying now but I’ve changed and I don’t feel a connection or joy like I was grasping for at a young age. I feel bad but I don’t think the guilt is of wanting to be her friend but the worry of how this would affect my family. I don’t want everyone to hate me or ice me out for my decision. I don’t think they would but I also feel like they would. And that’s literally the only reason I still communicate with my older sister. Because of everyone else.
Are men in their mid twenties-thirties in the big 2026 looking for romantic relationships that lead to marriage or is it a lost cause? I feel like my generation has less date to marry men and I’m not trying to be a one night stand or anything. I want a genuine relationship where I can grow old with a man who loves me genuinely. Not a toxic marriage like some people my age are in. Are there men who are generally normal and actually want a good 50/50 relationship?
I’m 25F my sister is 27F and she has done things to me in the past when we were younger that I consider sibling abuse but was always told it was normal sibling bickering. As an adult and growing up she has/had become a major manipulator. I can’t say I don’t want to do things or ‘no’ to hanging out without extreme guilt tripping to the point where I actually come to the conclusion that I don’t actually like her. My heart rate spikes when I’m in the same room as her, car as her, and even just building as her. Like the fear she’s going to ask me to do something and I can’t say no. She gives me the since of dread and fear I can’t control even on a good day where she’s nice it feels like a trap. I want to move out but apartments and houses are expensive. I just wanted to vent because I don’t think I can handle forcing myself to keep going in an environment like this. I start therapy soon and I’m hoping I can get some help, guidance, and ways to cope or relax around her. I should add I have ADHD which could factor to the fight or flight I constantly feel since ADHD is known to enhance emotions too much. And sadly all emotions I feel are negative. Her manipulation tactics are telling me things like “I know you don’t like me.”, “I know you don’t want to spend time with me.”, “I just want to try and bond.”, “Don’t you want a relationship with me?” I wouldn’t consider it manipulation if it wasn’t always said in a way where she can corner me. She does it in a confrontational way rather it be in front of family, friends, or in her car with no escape. The more she does it the more I do actually hate her and wish she was gone or wish I was gone. My sister is also very nosey. I don’t do anything wrong like drugs or sneaking in boys I do pretty much nothing but I also would like privacy. I can’t order an amazon package without looking over my shoulder in fear or checking her location because why does she have to know every single thing??? I constantly feel like I can’t do anything without being questioned like I smuggled something evil. Want to snack on crackers “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”. Want to eat ramen??? “What are you eating??.” Want to simply exist in your own room and be left alone in silence “What are you doing?” The day I actually get to move out I’m blocking her from everything. My location and all so I can finally not feel suffocated and BREATH!
Been looking through this hot topic reddit. Seeing what I need to know for applying and such. First I would like to ask can I ask a time that I would prefer to start working to a Hot Topic Manager? And after applying I seen some Hot Topic workers in comments saying if you don’t get a call or message you can go to your local store and ask to talk to a Manager about getting a job. Which leads me to my next question. When would be a good time frame to go up there? I am very eager to work at Hot Topic. I adore the store and like the vibe I get whenever I go. But I do not wish to go up there too early and seem more annoying than eager. My third question is; when should I apply for a different job after applying to Hot Topic just in case they don’t contact me back or anything? Because I’m willing to always apply again but apply elsewhere in the meantime while I wait. In addition, how many times can I apply to Hot Topic without being annoying and spamming?
1am 25F. I really want this to be my year. I really hope this year I finally find someone in my state who will love me as I would love them. I want someone to run away with me. Take me far away from my troubles and create stories together. I want someone who maybe willing to one day move out of state with me. I want to be someone's whole world and I want them to be mine. I'm ready to date and grow old with someone. I want to go on adventures with someone.
Spend summers either on vacation or just at home together watching movies in matching jammies. I only dated once in my life last year and it didn't go well.
But I finally gained some experience and I'm able to know what I want out of a man. I want a man who will defend me, listen to me, understand me. A man who can also cry to me when he has problems and let me be the shoulder he can cry on. I don't want to wait any longer and I want this to manifest for me. I want to manifest the one for me this year.
I’m 25F with severe anxiety. The other day I went to my sister’s 27F friend’s graduation party. I got socially warn out and was about to quietly sneak away to relax my mind and make myself comfortable. But my sister suddenly drew attention to me for no reason. Asking me where I’m going and if I wanted to talk to her. Mind you she was playing spades with her friends and the last thing I wanted was to be there to begin with. Everyone was looking at me and I felt stuck, uncomfortable, and wanted to cry. So I stayed in the room I didn’t want to be in. My mood gone. How do I get to a point where I can put myself first without worrying what others might think? I don’t even like or want to be friends with those people. Would I have been a bad person if I did put me first and walked away?

I’m looking for a gaming chair/office chair that still comes it pretty colors but lasts. That gives comfort and can recline a bit. Because sometimes I just want to be lazy and draw on my digital tablet in a chair and it would be nice to recline while drawing.
My doctor told me to take half dose 3 nights and then switch up to 25mg. I took my first night of 25mg nothing serious. Woke up early to my heart racing like I ran a marathon and then total numbness. I feel nothing and I can no longer cry on command. Idk if this effect is supposed to happen especially so soon. And I worry about emotional numbness but hopefully it will pass. I have no joy or sadness and no motivation to draw. I can’t even imagine the story I made up in my head anymore. It’s weird and I don’t like it.
I’m just starting Zoloft(sertraline) and I want to know from other’s perspective when it kicks in for the folks that have already taken it does it help you feel less guilty and more strong on saying no? I keep getting invited to trips I don’t want to go to but I always feel guilty for not wanting to go to said trips and am usually made to feel guilty by other’s attitude. I want to finally not cry myself to sleep because I didn’t say no. Or spend time leading up to the trip feeling like the only out is to wish something would make me disappear. I want to feel good about how I feel and feel confident about it without feeling like the world will collapse otherwise.
