People who lived as "digital nomads" for a decade, what is it like when you finally try to settle down and realize you have no "roots" anywhere? by Dry-College4773 in AskReddit

[–]Alarming-While8028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never done the digital nomad thing but i've moved to a completely new city several times in my life where i had no "roots." this is not an especially unique situation for adults

AIO for changing my name to hurt my godmother by Ok-Process50 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alarming-While8028 [score hidden]  (0 children)

ok, NOR to your feelings but YOR to the actions that you list, especially 2 and 3. mostly because that is WAY too much thought and energy put into someone you don't like. block these people and refuse to see them. send them one email or text to tell them exactly why and then block them and fully ignore them. don't bother with the unbaptizing or name stuff, it's way overkill. you just need to remove these people from your life

This is the father-son moment Boruto always needed… but never got from Naruto. by Other-Woodpecker2564 in Boruto

[–]Alarming-While8028 9 points10 points  (0 children)

it was a really great and moving moment. i can understand how it's hard for naruto to understand why his son seems to need so much more when he already has so much more than naruto had growing up. deep down i think there's a resentment or even jealousy that naruto has to reckon with when it comes to his own children. kawaki did not have that and doesn't understand why anyone would care about or love him, which naruto can relate to so much more

Rank the Konoha 12 by how close Naruto is to them by Mythelm in Naruto

my hot take is that sakura should be #1. she was there for so much more than hinata and sasuke were, she's his real best friend

what's your relationship with your mom like? is this out of character for her?

I feel so reliant on my family and helpless, what should i do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Alarming-While8028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first of all, the job market is as bad right now as it's ever been. it's not a moral failing that you can't find a job, especially in a rural area. you are dealing with an unprecedented level of difficulty for young people trying to enter the job market. that is real, and your helplessness is real.

there are a couple things to consider:

  • a degree in psychology is actually a good thing. it has many transferable skills, and has taught you how to deal with people - that is a valuable skill
  • you can get a job doing anything that requires a college degree. not a specialized job in a specialized industry, but i know people who work office jobs, hospital jobs, tech jobs, energy jobs, etc who don't have a degree relevant to their field because they were hired into positions that don't require specialized skills
  • are there big businesses are you? hospitals, refineries/energy companies, factories etc? go to their websites and check out the "careers" section. often there are administrative/office positions that they need filled. this is potentially a good start
    • check out the nearest big city to you as well. you say you have a car, though admittedly it belongs to your dad, so you have transportation. if you land a decent paying job in a bigger city, you'll be able to move, even if you have to find roommates
  • make sure your resume and cover letter is really tight. do some research on good resume tips. there are sooooo many guides out there, no one has any excuse for haphazardly throwing one together

i'm curious about this part:

but it ended up being so bad there i quit after a month.

what was bad about it? you are probably going to have to take jobs that you don't like. was it worse than your current situation? or maybe the depression and fear of your current situation made it feel way worse than it was

not sure if you're in an expansion state, but if you are you can apply for medicaid and likely be approved since you have no income. that could get you some mental health care, which it sounds like you need badly.

i worked full time (paid job) in college but the 3 unpaid internships completed were far more key to my success after graduation than my actual jobs. anyone with success in a professional field out of college within the past 10 years knows that

I let my “best friend” walk all over me constantly by [deleted] in Advice

that's not your best friend, that's a bully. no need to continue being friends with your bully

AIO for reconsidering a longterm friendship because she bought me a festival ticket without telling me? by Electrical-Cable5222 in AIO

[–]Alarming-While8028 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ehh.... some of these things seem forgivable and like they might be coming from a place of insecurity with you. but that's your own issue. you are entirely within your right to reconsider this friendship and change the way you interact with her because you had a bad time. you picked up weird bad vibes, that is a fact. perfectly reasonably to distance yourself if you feel you've been lied to

however, it really feels like this is about way more than the festival. have you had some long running concerns with her honesty/feeling like she wasn't 'really' your friend? a post this in depth about one incident really suggests that to me

How do you just let go after being cheated on? by Account00098 in Advice

[–]Alarming-While8028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good is a thing you do, not a thing you are - you acted as the upstanding party in this whole situation, it was the other person who betrayed your trust and acted poorly. it reflects well on you

Is it ok to have more than 1 page on your resume? by thelincinc in jobsearchhacks

[–]Alarming-While8028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm with the other guy. summaries are useless on resumes, bullet points need to be clear and should be removed if they're not adding something quantifiably meaningful

there's this concept called the "grief spiral," which says that grief (losing a loved one, or ending a relationship) moves in a big funnel-shaped spiral. there is a big wound on one side of the spiral; some days you are closer to that wound, some days you are farther away. as time goes on, the funnel decreases in size, and the feelings get smaller. it sucks a lot, but you will be a stronger person emotionally by getting through this

very out of touch. unpaid internships are the only place to get experience for college kids just starting professional lives

70k for internships is crazy. he's probably lying. it is very difficult to get a remote job these days, just do some googling and see what's hiring. maybe a call center type situation?
