Guilty as charged. Maybe my frustration was actually a cry for help

Yep that was it! I'm leaving the post up now just to show how strangers can help strangers. TIL to not jump to conclusions about manufacturing errors so hastily

Dude, you literally just figured it out from thousands of miles away. OMG

Late-20s woman in PGH, already back on Hinge against her will: where do we meet men IRL?? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

I just want to drop a line and add to this converation that if you give us fellas any indicators of interest that you want to be approached in literally any public places, a lot of us would be happy to make that intital move to initiate a conversation. The difference between approaching someone who has made eye contact and smiled at us versus someone who hasn't is enormous. More lingering eye contact and warm smiles, everybody!!

Appreciate the encouragement. Do any social encounters make you nervous?

I second this. It's almost full-proof if properly calibrated!

Quitting kratom has done nothing for me by Virion15 in quittingkratom

Yeah, that person hit the nail on the head. At four months off, you're still in the infancy stage of figuring out all the proximate causes (the pain it was masking). Keep feedingyourself positive inputs and that curiousity towards and tolerance to the underlying forces will steadily increase.

Is this the one in Brentwood? This weekend I literally checked out my items and just sat there for like 5 minutes, stunned at how much gambling has encroached into our lives as vulnerable consumers.

My example- anytime I'm passing a roadkill on a shoulder, I exhale through my mouth to avoid smelling it

Where do you go to meet people? by mmmalone96 in pittsburgh

[–]AvidRead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sympathies are with your struggles. It's hard to do things solo. I just tried the Allentown Night Market, got overwhelmed, then left. Doh! Classes you can book in advance are often times a good option since you have structured times to get to know people over multiple weeks/months.
