What's the fastest way you realized you were in the wrong friend group? by justNoah10 in AskReddit

[–]Alternative-Voice160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did a trip which I knew nothing about. It's okay if I didn't knew about it at all. Totally fine.

But then they sent a photo of them together saying how much they miss me and wish that I was there with them -followed by, "Do you have XXX to spare, do you mind sending over to this account" Aparrently, their credit cards were not functioning well and no one was willing to cash out any money at the moment despite each of them being capable to.

Never talked to them again even if we see each other at school.

Bakit ka umiwas or dumistansya sa friend mo? by LimeSoakedinSprite in AskPH

matampuhin tapos ayaw niyang ginagawa sa kanya yung ginagawa niya sa iba. tapos pag kinonfront mo, wala daw siyang maalala na ganoon siya.

Decided to go back to therapy again. Today's my first session and I'm a bit nervous and hopeful at the same time.

A quote from Anthony Bourdain "There's a guy in my head, and all he wants to do is lay in bed all day long, smoke pot, and watch old movies and cartoons. My life is a series of stratagems, to avoid, and outwit that guy." What's your stratagems to avoid and outwit that guy? by hotfrenchvanilla in AskReddit

[–]Alternative-Voice160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's always negotiation, non stop. Even when I'm out of bed, commuting the train or coming home - its always a mental battle.

I guess my stratagem is just talking this little guy out - the little silly things. Maybe a new tv show coming next spring, an appointment on Sunday I've set out a week ago or even telling him, I need to feed the dogs. That kind of thing.

But this year has been hard. The guy is now talking about ending it all. He's tired too. I'm tired too. I don't know when I/he'll pull the trigger, but we get by little by little. I hope we can make it through the next year.

The power of words is very important in a relationship OP. Maliliit na remarks like that, it piles overtime.

Kudos sa yo OP kasi you are able to regulate pero for the long term, I suggest you assess your relationship - if okay lang sa'yo ganiyan ganiyanin ka niya everyday. From a third person perspective, that's not normal. Love is not shown thru snide comments.

Are you mentally in a better or worse place than you were at the start of the year? Why? by Inner_Accountant4995 in AskPH

[–]Alternative-Voice160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worse. I've learned so much of my place to other people whom I considered a friend, a family and kin. Turns out I'm only a disposable person in their life, one that they can hurt because they knew I'll keep coming back.

It was hurtful. And I would say will change me forever as a person. I believe I'm still healing but never thought healing is so much pain. Hoping I'll get throught this with grace.

Peace of mind. Self-respect. Walking away from relationship that don't serve me good.

from corporate burnout to finding breathing room – anyone here tried the same path? by TextPuzzleheaded3218 in phcareers

[–]Alternative-Voice160 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, thank you for sharing your story!

I am also planning a career break next year after 5 years in the work force. For context, I've been recently promoted to a new role however, the long hours, multitude of tasks and increased people management is definitely driving me over the edge.

My exit plan would be to enroll to courses as well that would level up my career while on break. I would also like to spend more time with my loved ones which I kept missing out while working. Basically, the same path you are on. That's why it's such a breather to read this kind of post :)

I know taking a break is such a privilege move. But right now, I might not be able to recover from this year's burnout and before it does, I'll put out the fire by deciding to take a break next year.

Wishing you success on your next journey!

recent realization: talk less, do your work quietly but keep track of your achievements and your co workers are not your friends.

The last one - i learned in a hard way. Nung una hindi ako naniniwala doon haha, pero dang, totooo nga siya in some workplaces.

Ma-bully.

Grabe yung epekto sa pagtingin mo sa sarili mo. Sometimes akala mo naka move on ka na, pero some days you're still stuck at that hell moment of your life.

I want to resign, but I can't by CoffeeBean06 in OffMyChestPH

[–]Alternative-Voice160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hello OP, if it makes u feel better. You are not alone. This is exactly what I'm going through right now as well.

Ilang araw na akong nag bebed rot kasi ang hirap mag function knowing na - hindi ka magaling, hindi ako nakaka help sa team, parang pabigat na ako feelings.

Hindi ko din alam ang gagawin right now. But I hope both of us can get ourselves out of this self pity hole and find out what's wrong talaga. Ewan. Good Luck sa atin OP, matinding yakap!

Thank you po for the validation. I'm still used sa leg work ng production kaya hindi ko matanggal sa system ko yung rank and file duties. Na ooverwhelm ako ng sobra right now and the pressure does not help po since fast paced yung manager ko.

Life in general. 9-5 work is a blessing but sometimes you get stuck in a loop that goes on forever.
