I have, all my life, been an introvert and have had self esteem issues due to my upbringing. I, however, ended up in a highly competitive world of sales after school and I had to fake it (confidence) to make it in that world. So on the face of it, I seem confident and chatty in my work environment and I'm very good at my job, it's all a facade. The thing is, I'm not sure if people see through it because although I'm popular among my colleagues at work, no one really calls me or texts me. I also get invited to outings with my colleagues but outside of work, my false confidence doesn't work and I'm like a fish out of water. I just keep quiet and watch everyone else have a good time while I'm feeling awkward and out of place myself.

I make 'friends' easily enough throughout my whole adult life but in reality they're just work colleagues and I don't have any real friends.

Can anyone relate to this? Has anyone successfully gotten out of this situation and have gained real friendship?

I have the Tapo D235 but it's been making me play a game of 'Poo-do'. Someone keeps letting it's dog poo on my lawn on a weekly basis but the camera never seems to catch it.

It always seems to catch people walking left to right of the camera but nothing coming back (right to left of the image). So someone keeps letting it's dog (I hope!) foul on my lawn in direct sight of the doorbell but never seems to catch it doing it.

Any suggestions?

This is driving me nuts!

So I succumbed to the hype of Popeye's and tried it for the first time in the Manchester city store when I was visiting. I had heard amazing things online and how JayZ and Bey ordered it to their wedding etc, so I was hyped.

I ordered a multi piece chicken box meal and... It was awful. The chicken tasted like cardboard, literally, and the fries were meh.

This was a while ago and now there's one just opened near me and I want to give it another try but I don't want to waste my money if it's going to be the same, dry, cardboard tasting, small pieces of chicken again.

Is Popeye's bad or is it the Manchester branch is just shit?
