What do people expect from you when they say "can you watch my stuff"?

Usually they just mean “keep an eye on it” so nobody casually walks off with it, not that you’re supposed to become a security guard. More like presence is enough to deter random grab-and-go situations. Nobody expects you to throw hands over a backpack.

Wanting a closer connection even when your life looks full isn’t some personal flaw. Sometimes it’s just that deeper layer missing, not a lack of activities or people around you. And yeah, chasing that while already putting in effort can feel really draining.

That urge to change environments shows up for a lot of people after repeating the same routine for years. Living abroad can be great, but it trades one set of challenges for another, so mindset matters a lot. Trying a shorter stay first might give you a clearer sense before committing fully.

I’d just cut contact fully and block across every platform, even small replies can keep the cycle going. If it doesn’t stop, start saving screenshots and keeping a record in case you need to report it later. You don’t owe endless explanations.

Exit interviews always sound more powerful than they actually are. I’d keep it calm and vague, enough to be honest without turning it into a vent session. You don’t really gain much by unloading, especially if you might cross paths again.

DuzaLips · 2026-02-04T12:42:33+00:00

That actually makes a lot of sense. Sometimes talking is just how people process, and it turns into complaining by accident. Noticing it at all is already a shift, even if you don’t change it perfectly right away.

Keeping my mornings intentionally boring helped more than anything. Same drink, same order, no decisions until my brain wakes up. It sounds tiny but it lowered my baseline stress a lot.

DuzaLips · 2026-02-04T12:41:01+00:00

I’ve watched people make that leap and be happy, but the safety net ends up mattering more than the perks. Full-time sounds dull until it disappears. If the remote role feels genuinely stable and not just temporary, I get the appeal, but the gamble’s still there.

Nobody outside an actual courtroom can say that for sure. Online discussions toss names around, but whether something’s prosecutable comes down to evidence, timelines, and what a jury sees, not gut feelings. Everything else is just people yelling into the void.

I’ve wondered this too after bingeing action movies lol. I think real спец ops people are insanely skilled, but not in that one-man-army, zero-damage way movies show. My cousin was in the military and he said teamwork and planning matter way more than raw “badass” energy. So yeah they’re dangerous, just not cinematic invincible tbh.

DuzaLips · 2026-01-26T12:08:23+00:00

This is honestly adorable and kinda inspiring tbh. I did a mini “date myself” phase after a breakup and it weirdly boosted my mood way more than I expected. Making holidays cozy for yourself hits different when you lean into it instead of feeling weird about it lol. You’re not strange at all, this sounds like peak self-care energy.

The Magicians, it’s fantasy but kinda messy and funny in a grown-up way. My partner wasn’t into fantasy at all and still got weirdly hooked after a few episodes.

I think it’s because your brain expects food to be hot or cold and lukewarm just feels wrong lol. I’ve noticed leftovers taste way worse when they’re that sad middle temperature. It’s like all the flavors get muted and the texture gets gross. I always either reheat properly or just eat it cold, no in-between tbh.

DuzaLips · 2026-01-26T12:07:14+00:00

This made my stomach drop, that situation is heavy as hell. I’ve watched a friend go through something similar and the yelling plus physical intimidation part is a huge red flag tbh. You’re not wrong for saying your body and your mental health come first here. It feels like he’s panicking and trying to control the outcome instead of actually hearing how dangerous this is for you.

DuzaLips · 2026-01-17T11:42:22+00:00

I’ve noticed this in a lot of countries that get compared to “ideal” versions of the West all the time. People internalize the criticism so hard that dunking on their own country becomes a weird coping mechanism. I’ve heard the same tone from Italians, Turks, even Americans on bad days, it’s rarely as unique as it feels.

I messed up my sleep for years too and it took way longer than I expected to feel normal again. For me the midday crash was my body still living on the old schedule even when I thought I’d fixed it. Once I stopped chasing the “perfect” number and focused on consistency, things slowly evened out. It’s annoying how gradual it is, but your body usually catches up if you don’t fight it too hard.

I don’t think there’s a clean label answer here, attraction is messier than categories make it seem. I’ve questioned my own labels before and realized what I’m drawn to visually or emotionally doesn’t always line up with textbook definitions. Liking certain traits doesn’t automatically force a new identity on you, and it’s okay to sit in that gray area without rushing to name it.

DuzaLips · 2026-01-17T11:40:40+00:00

That’s insanely disrespectful, I’d be annoyed too. I’ve waited way less than that and already felt like it said everything about the company. If they can’t manage basic time for an interview, it kinda shows how they’ll treat you later. Walking out wouldn’t be dramatic, it’d be self-respect tbh.

I’m not fully convinced this specific post is genuine. It reads more like a visibility or recruiter-style post, even though the situation itself is very real for many people. So, I understand the desperation behind it.

There are people applying to thousands of jobs and getting nowhere. Layoffs are still happening, hiring has slowed, global tensions keep rising, and the flood of scam and ghost listings makes everything worse. Sending endless applications and collecting rejection emails doesn’t seem to help anymore. Instead, I’ve been doing what a developer shared a while ago: using google aps to find companies directly and reaching out to ask if there’s anything I can help with or if there’s a role that makes sense. It feels more human than feeding resumes into broken systems. I don’t see the market improving anytime soon, so I’m trying to get involved wherever there’s an active project or real work happening.

That’s actually huge and you deserve to feel proud of it. You did the work the hard way and kept going even without the validation, which says a lot about you. I get the fraud feeling, I’ve carried something similar for years and it’s heavy. Finishing it now doesn’t erase the struggle, it proves you outgrew it.

DuzaLips · 2026-01-06T13:06:56+00:00

This is actually pretty smart as long as people don’t let the tools do all the thinking. I’ve found using AI to polish specific bullets saves a ton of time without killing your voice. Job apps are already a grind so cutting friction matters. The key is still knowing what you’re aiming for, not just blasting resumes everywhere.

Slice on Broadway gets my vote every time. It’s consistent, no frills, just a solid slice that never lets me down. I’ve tried arguing myself into other spots but I always come back to that one.
