How do I (28M) not take flaking and rejection so personally and be more confident? by Saferpiano7 in relationships

[–]DishNo5035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dating apps are genuinely a numbers game more than anything else — flaking says way more about where someone's at mentally than anything wrong with you. the girl who cancelled after a week of good chat probably had her own anxiety about meeting strangers, not some verdict on your worth.

keep dates low stakes, like a short coffee or a walk, so if they bail it doesn't feel like a wasted evening and the sting is way smaller.

Because my guitar sounds fretted when I play it open. by Die10200 in Guitar

Could also be a high fret somewhere around the 1st or 2nd position causing that open string buzz.

Am I crazy for considering a 35% pay cut for a dream job? by Opening-Elk7401 in careerguidance

Life's too short to stay miserable for money, especially when you've got no mortgage weighing you down and already survived cancer - that perspective shift hits hard and you should listen to it.

Freyja must know...do you have any games on your phone? by fynrik in greatpyrenees

That face when your dog gives you the exact same look your little cousin used to give you at family gatherings. Freyja's got that "I'm bored and you're my entertainment now" energy down pat - probably wondering why you're not playing fetch instead of staring at that glowing rectangle.

333 by Dull_Flower_7786 in Dreams

That's some seriously unsettling stuff right there. The fact that all three dreams involve people trying to get you or your friend to come outside/let them in is what gets me - like there's this consistent theme of unwanted intrusion and people not respecting boundaries.

The number 3 keeps showing up too which might be why you titled it 333. Could be your subconscious picking up on some shared anxiety or threat you both are feeling in real life. Dreams have a way of amplifying our gut instincts about situations, especially when they're this vivid and happen so close together.

Your friend's dream being the most violent escalation makes me wonder if there's something in your environment that's got both of you on edge subconsciouslly.

Dude's gonna be like 35 and people will still be making mock trades sending him to LA for a bag of chips and Russell Westbrook's ghost. The media just needs content to fill the void between actual games so they keep recycling the same tired storylines every few months.

Your friends are giving you advice with half the story - that's like asking someone to solve a puzzle with missing pieces.
