I can always get them printed out and paste them on my wall but still, if there is a specific store for it, I would love to browse through it. Thanks in advance 😊

It finally clicked for my ndad that this isn't a phase or a trick im pulling. This is serious. After almost 1.5 years of no talk. Took them long enough and I still don't think they understand how firm I am in my decision.

This is the text I got last night. Emom and gc (people i once wanted to save) still haven't really checked on me or tried at all to see why i went nc out of the blue. This is why, looking back, it was the right decision to do it without explaining my decision. They really are that low effort and ignorant. I have slightly spiraling since last night but nope, never going back.

Any advice how to stay strong? and focus on my current life?

I mostly find postings for on-site jobs or fully remote jobs, rarely hybrid, so trying to see if they are a thing anymore?

Basically, what the title says. I'm getting to reminding people that I do not function at the same capacity as them and why that is. It feels like proving myself over and over again. I'm getting tired.

What the title says, basically. I feel a lot of "friendships" are based on having very similar lives. Which is cool but not exactly inclusive. What has been your experience?

I'd prefer 27 inches, 4K and mostly need it for basic day-to-day work. Emails, reading, Netflix, and so on. My budget is $200-$350. I have done my research but would appreciate input from this sub, especially if it is based on personal experience. I'm looking for specific brand names. Thanks in advance!

I have renovated my place a bit, moved my furniture around and will be arranging my stuff soon. My life and this place have been stagnant for a couple of years. Had to do a lot of inner work. Dark night of the soul. So this is sort of a new beginning for me.

I plan to mop the floor with a bit of salt water. Is there anything else I can do to bring abundance and ease into my life? I'm mostly focusing on my bedroom and home office.

thanks in advance

I know a lot has to change in my life for me to live a better life. I need to change jobs, cities, need to find new people and maybe even date but I keep telling myself that there is actually no point in trying. "I live an ok life and all the pain that comes with change is not worth it."

I know it's my fear talking, thanks to coming from a hypercritical and unsupportive family. I have been living the same day over and over again for years now and things need to change or else I will die having never experienced what living comfortably is. A life where there is love and community.

Any tips?

I don't have a solid foundation. Most people have at least one or two areas of their lives locked down. Could be career, health, love whatever. But when everything is up in the air because you are deep in survival mode, you can never enjoy downtime, hobbies, or vacations. At least I can't. There is this need to be productive all the time but there is no way out. So the panic never leaves.

I think actions follow a mindset shift. Basically, I'm asking what prompted that inner shift in you before the outward changes became apparent. How did you get there? Just wanted to clarify, I'm doing this for me and only me. Thanks in advance!

It's so exhausting to think of the worst-case scenario in every freaking situation. I know I should stop, but I can't. It's so discouraging. It's the fear instilled in me since childhood. Has anyone broken out of this pattern? How?

The hours between 4 pm and 8 pm just slip by me almost every time I work from home. There is so much I can do during that time and the tasks pile up! Anybody else stuck in this kind of ADHD-fueled loop? What helped break it?

whenever someone is curt with me or passive agressive, I try to match their energy because in my head I think that would empower me but instead i feel shittier. Anyone else? I guess this is the price you pay for knowing your real self since you were a kid

Every Friday, like clockwork, my boss asks me and others what our plans are for the weekend. Sometimes I lie or keep it vague but my god, can we not? he also keeps asking follow-up questions or he would ask about it on Monday. I am all for small talk but do they not realize that a lot of us are freaking TIRED? We are doing mundane household chores and sleeping during the weekend. He is on the older side so maybe he doesn't get it. Pretty sure his life is far more comfortable than ours. He is a boomer.

idk i just wanted to vent. I'm tired of this interrogation. Mind you, this all happens in the main team channel, where literally everyone can see everything. UGH!

ETA: he never shares what his weekend plans are. He simply pretends he didn't see the question and moves on to a different topic.

It's getting hotter and I don't have air conditioning at my place so I'm looking for breathable clothes to chill and sleep in. Preferably oversized and cooling. Thanks in advance! 🫶

I know we are all tired of hearing about AI, so if this post makes you uncomfortable, please keep scrolling. Trust me, I get it 😊

I just genuinely want to know if your employability is being impacted by AI or is susceptible to it in the short-term? Say a year from now. Please share what industry you are in or similar details for better understanding. Thanks!

Recently, I found myself getting a bit softer. I think I saw some social media posts around Mother's Day and eventually started thinking maybe it wasn't that bad.

Now, a few days later, I recalled how damaging it was to see one parent criticize your existence while the other stood there and watched. Anddd with that, my anger is back and that's ok. I'm accepting that there will always be a bit of back and forth, I just need to keep going forward and not let guilt or anger take over completely.

Just wanted to share this because for a very long time I viewed anger as a bad emotion.

Feel free to share similar experiences 💛

I have had a pattern of having extremely controlling male bosses. Is there a spell to break out of this pattern?

thanks in advance!

I either find job posts that say something like "1 year to less than 3 years" or it's "minimum 10 years"....what about the middle lot? 😭

I guess the real question is, do you apply for jobs that you are apparently overqualified for?
