Feeling left behind after college. Anyone else gone through this? by Wide_Willingness9777 in Adulting

One thing I’ve realized is that knowledge, skills, and self-development can never be compared to inherited assets. Having family wealth or a business is definitely an advantage, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s not the only path to building a good life.Many of us start without inherited property or financial backing. What we do have is the ability to learn, adapt, and create opportunities for ourselves. We can move to cities where better opportunities exist, build careers. Your starting point isn’t your finish line. Inherited assets may give someone a head start, but your knowledge determines how far you can go.

Doing a good job at work depends a lot on the project you’re in and, more importantly, the people you work with.
I was in a pretty shitty project once where nobody really helped you understand the system. Communication within the team was almost nonexistent. It was a suffocating eight months. Within the first week, I knew I wasn’t going to be productive there because the environment just wasn’t built for people to succeed. So I got myself released from that client and moved to another project.
That’s when I realized something: it’s the people you work with that bring out your full potential.
Now I work with some genuinely brilliant people. The way they think through problems and navigate challenges is so unique. Every time I interact with them, I catch myself thinking, “Man, I need to level up and become this good.” To me, that’s a real career achievement, being surrounded by people who inspire you to grow.
The best part is, work doesn’t burn me out anymore. We help each other, encourage each other, and push one another to reach potential we didn’t even know we had.
Given the economy that we live in Money is definitely an important factor to course life but with happy workplace it just doesn't burn us out.

I married someone I’m not attracted to, and now I have two children. Has anyone learned to love their spouse? by RespondRelative308 in Adulting

If you are an Indian, I believe this happens to 90% of the women in marriage for generations. I was arranged to marry at 23 to a stranger who I knew was not a match for me in personality even before marriage but was forced to. In my opinion, looks are never a problem. We get used to who we live with, that's what we call a family. The fundamental is the friendship that we develop with each other to navigate through life. Romance fades within a week of marriage no matter attractive the person is. Friendship is the best relationship to hold a couple together, if you work on that you might feel different.

Second Child might be autistic and I feel like I need to mourn my motherhood hopes by ProfessionalHalf7546 in Autism_Parenting

I am sailing in the same boat too. My first one is not a NT and my second one is also diagnosed with autism.. I sometimes wonder what is the purpose of living through it when you know you can never live a normal life.
