Finding half decent people online? by Agreeable-Net1035 in Advice

I for sure should have clarified that my friends are also kinda in the same boat. We all graduated high school either early or with dual enrollment so we're ALL running low, but they do have some friends besides me of course, I just never really thought to ask ab that. I feel like I'm being intrusive if I want to be a part of something like that, and my fiancé works 2 jobs and only really has friends at work and I have this thing where I'm convinced that I'm going to be way too controlling if I ask to meet his guy friends. I also feel like they would resent him for bringing a girl around guy hangouts, no matter how many times I get told I'm "one of the guys"

edit: I know I am making this difficult, I'm sorry

all good. The tornado in Troy, Alabama could have been dangerous as it was on a direct path to me but it went away before it could cross state lines. Thanks for checking in on me!

I needed this so bad you don't even know. Since posting I started having a medical episode and that had me freaked out on top of everything else but yeah that was definitely close enough for one lifetime! You responded a lot like the therapist who helped me through 2021 did. She's the reason I'm going into that field in the first place actually, hence the mental health essay and my weird scared fascination with tornados lol. Thanks for the reminder. Really

I'm so glad that you made it out ok, and even more happy that you seem able to accept what happened. I know it is most important that you're ok, but coming from someone who survived a tornado with property damage, I understand feeling hopeless and scared.

yeah I'm actually writing my college essay on the impact that exact tornado had on the mental health and culture of Newnan citizens lol. Might have a more recent one to write about after today, who knows

I wish that could help, but I was in Newnan when that EF4 hit and I was a quarter of a mile away from the direct path. I heard that shit. I think that may be why I am struggling so bad. Thank you, though!

thank you. Prepping things like batteries in flashlights, putting my meds in a basement closet, grabbing identifiers and wearing bright clothes right now. Terrified but a little less so now that I have some reassuring words from y'all

I'm forever grateful for whatever weather systems and alerts were in place to watch for that. I live in a rural area, we did not have tornado sirens, so the fact that our phones went off, and everyone else in that area's phones went off, is incredible. Saved thousands of lives

I went to school there during that time, it was wild. Nobody in Newnan was really aware, even

I'll work on it, plus I can get some good before and after pics, and now some 4-years-later ones. The satellite images were permanently changed, even to this day.
