Hi! I'm likely being paranoid about this, but if this job is real, it could really help me get out of a hole I've dug myself into. I can't find whatever business this is because it's only labelled as an 'independent contractor'. It does have a hyperlink, but it doesn't take me to any specific business; there are reviews, and the earliest is from 2022. It's likely some kind of small business.

It has its salary listed as 51,000-62,000 per year. It's an entry-level position with paid training, and it's a remote job. I've only worked in fast food since I've been able to work, so this opportunity sounds great if it is a real offer! I got a response from them on Indeed saying that they want to have a Zoom meeting with me for an interview. However, the response was very robotic. It very well could've been an automated response from the company, but I don't know if Indeed does that? I've never had someone respond to me in that way on there. If anyone could ease my anxiety on this, that would be great 😭

TW: For mentions of abuse

Recently, my friend group held an intervention out of concern for me. They told me they feel like my partner of a year and a half now is abusive to me, not intentionally, but still abusive nonetheless. This has been a debate since July of last year, I believe, and has caused friends to cut me off for deciding I wanted to stay with them.

Extra info: them cutting me off left me with nobody else to rely on, so it's been my partner and me since the cut-off.

Recently, some of those friends decided to reach out to check on my well-being. After a conversation, they think it would be best not to be with them and distance myself. I did have a conversation with them about it, and we both agree that we aren't in a good place mentally. I don't know if I wanna cut them off completely because I do care for them a lot, but at the same time, I think staying together may stunt any effort that could be made towards improving.

Another tidbit I don't know where to fit in: my friends insist on moving out of our apartment, but I can't afford to live by myself, and don't think I even can. I work a minimum wage job, and I live in low-income housing, and they are in a severe apartment shortage for 1 bedrooms, so getting another apartment in the same complex would be practically impossible. My partner and I work in the same place, but they work more hours, so they make more than I do.
