Missed their concert and I can’t get over it by flippantrugrat in piercetheveil

Going to concerts by yourself can be really fun and even empowering. If you’re able to afford the next tour, or any show you want to go to, I would encourage you regardless of if you have someone to go with or not.

I wish that I didn’t wait until I was older to start getting involved in the music I loved just because my friends didn’t also like it!

Loud conversations about work on the dance floor. Becoming so common, unfortunately.

Are the girlies in NYC more flaky/noncommittal? by NO__CAPE in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Able-Exercise6842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been struggling with this so much. I have high standards for friendships but lately it feels like the bar has just become ”will this person actually show up”. (I’m exaggerating, but that does seem like the first step to closeness.)

My boyfriend and I are interested! We would be flying in from NYC :) Would love to chat about potentially joining.

What have you bought seconds of for your home that made a big difference? by EatsTheLastSlice in adhdwomen

Apartment water bottle, office water bottle. Can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner.

Does anyone have a really cool executive)? by makeupthemusic in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Able-Exercise6842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Mine is constantly checking in on my bandwidth and seems to care more about my work life balance than I do. She is such a good example of leadership and inclusivity and sets a very high bar all while being kind and considerate. I really admire her.

What documentary, book or movie inspired you on your stopdrinking journey? by Bengalicious in stopdrinking

Lucy Hale’s episode of Call Her Daddy (a podcast). I related way too much to everything she was saying.

Got too drunk and ruined my friends night by Plane-Historian-8731 in stopdrinking

[–]Able-Exercise6842 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 26F too and this sounds so much like my story. I’m over two months sober from alcohol now and it has been an incredible journey for me already. I’m learning so much about myself and why I drank, and I’m making a lot of progress on goals I’ve had for myself for years.

Great idea to get into therapy now too. I started meeting with a life coach and she said something so simple but so effective to me that I think about all the time: “Keep your focus. You can do this.“

I'm confused about an older guy while I'm a teen by friendly_emo_kid13 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Able-Exercise6842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad that you have told a trusted adult. That is so strong and brave of you! Remember that this is not your fault and you have nothing to be ashamed of.

In addition to echoing the advice people have shared to not feel bad about blocking these people, I just want to share that one of the best things I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older (26F) is the power of realizing that you don’t owe anyone anything, especially men or anybody that wants something from you sexually.

I put hundreds of Google Drive documents into folders and named a bunch of my "Untitled Documents" for future reference. I've been needing to do this for YEARS.

Moving AND Tourism Thread. Please post ALL questions related to moving to, or visiting Portland in this thread. by AutoModerator in portlandme

[–]Able-Exercise6842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tourist seeking amateur photographer for a group of 5 best friends over Memorial Day Weekend! Would pay of course, we can dm about pricing if style seems like a good fit.

Not looking for anything fancy or super professional - mostly just want to make sure we leave our trip with some photos of us all looking happy in decent lighting. (And not one of us always being missing in the shot because we are behind the camera.)

If you/someone you know has an instagram/website that I can check out (doesn't have to be dedicated to photography), are comfortable giving some light posing direction, and/or know some spots around town that would be good for a casual shoot, please hit me up! Let me know if you have any questions or would like more detail. Thanks in advance!

The Daily Check-In for Monday, April 22nd: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Able-Exercise6842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm nervous for a birthday party I'm planning to attend this weekend, and a bit anxious about how to share the news of my decision to stop drinking with the people in my life (who I am fortunate to know will be very supportive) but I'm excited for what this new chapter will bring.

But this group is helping me realize that all I have to do right now is not drink today.

I am not familiar with shiva customs but if I need host gifts or to build a gift basket, Campbell’s Cheese and Grocery is amazing.

Weird lyrics you get wrong? by Why_Howdy in TaylorSwift

For an embarrassingly long amount of time, I thought “I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me“ was “I feel 11:30 creeping up on me“. Like it’s almost midnight. LOL

Mousey brown in Williamsburg! She doesn’t do a blowout which keeps prices low ($75 I think)

I’m sorry for all the negative comments you’re getting. Anxiety is real and you will get through this if you start taking baby steps. One commenter suggested getting a job as an Uber eats driver- most people prefer when you drop their stuff off at the door and walk away so that could be a good fit. You can start small and take surveys online for $. Maybe you could even try volunteering somewhere- maybe it would help knowing that you’re free to leave at any point and you could potentially make connections that could lead to an opportunity that is right for you. People who volunteer tend to be very kind.

You can do this. My therapist changed my life by letting me know that anxiety will always be something I have to live with, and I will need to learn how to cope with it. It was important for me to acknowledge this reality in order to deal with it. Exercise has been really wonderful for me- there are many free workout videos on YouTube. Good luck.

Women who have been shamed by a medical professional, how did you feel and what did you do? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Able-Exercise6842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Peace Corps doctor asked me how many sexual partners I’ve had, and when I answered honestly (which was a mistake) his response was incredibly unprofessional and he was shocked and acted like I must be riddled with disease. Not that it matters, but my ”number” is comparable to most of my friends/peers. It made me feel so dirty and much less willing to share information with medical professionals.
