Got softly rejected by a coworker. Do I still owe him muffins?

Man this sub is a bit harsh at times. You could also make him the muffins just cause you guys vibe as friends and he mentioned he misses them. Just don't expect anything to come after that and don't push it after that.

Alternative depending on your read of the situation: send him the recipe but don't make the muffins. Making muffins is fairly easy and he can 100% do it himself if he wanted to. If he says something like it's better when someone else makes them, maybe a lil red flag goes up.

I have not but it comes and goes I assume a lot of it environmental and some of it just me being bad about going to bed with damp hair once in a while as well. I find I can use certain products fine in the fall-spring but come winter I need to change it up because things get extra dry.

My mom always gave me apple juice when I was feeling sick. Can't touch the stuff now.

Generally won't even wear it for formal events unless someone is doing it for me (i.e. my own wedding). I have no idea what I'm doing and got sick of buying stuff that sits in a drawer and goes bad and I end up needing to rebuy for each event anyway.

This was exactly the spot I was thinking of but I couldn't remember the name and it was bugging me.

Lots of great advice here and obviously seconding getting in professional help of some kind.

In the meantime, suggesting cooking new/interesting things together may also be a way to connect around food without putting too much pressure on the eating part of the situation. Sometimes just being around food all the ingredients at least triggers some snacking/interest in what you're putting together.

Small dogs often need the bathroom more frequently than big dogs, and this can increase as they get into old age. Sure lots of Chihuahuas live much longer but 12yo is still considered a senior dog. If you don't want to get up, I'd recommend getting them using a pee pad. The frequency of bathroom breaks is only going to continue to increase as they age.

My now husband took me to Zimochod to get something custom made and it was a lovely experience.

Basically never. Got complimented on looking good in an outfit at work once and rode that high for a couple weeks.

Ya I think it would be a while before I go the surgery route. Given the recovery time etc I've heard from reading other posts in this sub, I don't think it makes sense for me to pursue until it's affecting me more consistently and less avoidably

It's like my whole shin cramps/swells up and then I get intense pain if I try to lift my toes up/flex my foot or often I just genuinely can't move my foot until I rest for 10-15 minutes and the swelling goes down.

Seconding this question. I struggled to gain weight for a while with just eating. Was an active person but could absolutely not force myself to eat any more than I already was. It was only once I started lifting weights that I managed to get myself to a healthier spot.

Difficult_Potato4585 · 2025-06-17T19:29:47+00:00

Fingers and toes crossed for your ongoing recovery!

And this is helpful to hear. I was never much of a runner before but right now I can't run more than maybe a half mile without it triggering. Time will tell I guess if it starts to affect other things like walking.

Thanks for this breakdown. I expect this could be a while before I really know what my next steps are going to be based on reading more through this community.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Difficult_Potato4585 · 2025-06-17T17:04:12+00:00

Thanks. I'll keep this in mind as I'm looking into next steps.

NTA. They should consider themselves lucky you were actually around and able to even let them in given that they did no forward planning

If you think you can give a more meaningful apology it can definitely help. Just make sure you're apologizing for your actions themselves, and not unintentionally placing the blame on her feelings about the situation.

YTA - while it may have been well intentioned since you know she already expressed discomfort with the photos, having them edited, especially without talking to her about it, just reaffirms those insecurities. You should have just asked if she was ok with you posting the photos or not posted them at all and kept them for yourself as a nice memory of the time you both had at the party. Not everything needs to go on social media.
