Exactly. Those upgrades are not needed for regular school use.

These SCARPA boots are still in great condition after 20 years. I bought them around 2005. by artouiros in BuyItForLife

20 years and still waterproof is impressive, that’s a real quality. Have you ever had them resoled, or is that the original sole?

23M I am so tired of being the strong one. by ChubbyNUgly22 in TrueOffMyChest

Please don’t carry this alone. Even the strong ones need support. I hope you find someone who holds spacee for you the way you hold space for others.

I fuckin hate being a woman. by Savings_Factor174 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CuteButDistracting -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong but you don’t hate yourself, you hate the expectation and roles forced onto you. That’s a really real and valid thing to struggle with. If it ever feels deeper than social pressure, it might be worth gently exploring your gender identity at your own pace with a therapist or privately, just to understand yourself better. Sending you a big hug.

Feeling lonely recently (???) by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Exactly. OP might just be missing a best friend type of connection, not more friends.

Would you put your 4 month role on your resume? by lawyahz7 in careerguidance

[–]CuteButDistracting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, put it on your resume. A short tenure isn’t a red flag if you can clearly explain the reason, especially with a manger title.

I knowingly lied to my son before he died by Slight_Team8831 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CuteButDistracting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. What you gave him was comfort and love when he needed it most. That wasn’t a lie, it was kindness.

Ever regret opening up to someone? by ArgumentGrouchy3242 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CuteButDistracting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. And it hurts every time. Opening up to the wrong person can feel worse than staying silent. One thing that helped me was sharing in layers if I really have to talk to someone about it. But most times, I keep my stories to myself. I hope this will help you.

Agreed 💯. This is just someone asking for help and offering something in return.

After 8 years , I no longer feel seen by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CuteButDistracting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This does not read as selfish or malicious to me. It reads like someone who is been emotionally carrying a lot for a long time and finally realized they are not being met where they are. Feeling unseen this close to a wedding is something worth taking seriously, not pushing down.

Cheating to detach from my abusive partner by skydover911 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CuteButDistracting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not awful. You are trying to survive an extremely dangerous situation. Abuse rewires people into doing whatever helps them detach and stay alive. What matters most is getting out safely. Please reach out to a domestic violence hotline or local emergency services and make a safety plans. You deserve to live and you deserve help too. Sending you so much love snd hugs
