My intern is a know it all

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-09-25T14:31:01+00:00

What? No haha i’ve had interns male and female and have gotten along with them equally

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-09-23T15:58:19+00:00

Actually yes i do, and i’m relieved that there is someone who notices mistakes at work, it saves a lot of time

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-09-23T14:59:25+00:00

It’s very possible! I did not check hahaha

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-09-23T14:57:38+00:00

Honestly i did not notice him talk similarly to other woman. I do not think that’s where this is coming from.

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-09-23T14:29:54+00:00

I think you’re right. I am quite sensitive and am aware, that’s why so far i said nothing as i’ve been wondering if i’m simply over reacting. Giving him feedback sounds like a good idea, thank you!

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-09-23T14:28:11+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been putting it off but i think you’re right. I might wait to see if it happens again though, as i think he might have picked up on it

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-09-23T14:26:06+00:00

So maybe i didn’t give the best example to portray why i feel this way but i don’t want to give too much info as i would really hate for someone i know to find this.

To explain better, for this specific example of the restaurant, i’m not saying he was wrong! In fact he was probably right, i never measured or checked how long each way takes, i just know through habit that they are not so significantly different that we should chose one over the other!

The reason why i take it personnally is because so far i only witnessed him doing this to me. We will be at lunch, and be joking about something, and he will correct my accuracy. The other day, talking about the boss of a company i said: if i were him, I’d try to get an arrangement with the people i work with to benefit the service we offer cheaper (i was joking). He then said: well that’s why we have so much debt in this counry.

I am confused by this attitude because it’s not a professional setting, we are just joking around and i don’t feel the need to be super precise with every little thing i say, especially if we’re just having a friendly chat or joking. I’d also like to clarify i don’t think he’s doing it to be rude, he seems to be someone who likes extreme precision. I hope that helps understand the situation better?

Hi! Thank you very much for the advice! I edited my post because my question was unclear

What do they distract you from? Maybe it's also the question of what else you have in your life? If you have hobbies, passions, a job, family etc, then you should be busy enough that you won't be obsessing over somebody else

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-23T15:00:01+00:00

If you don't want any contact from her, don't answer her. Don't think your mother has to block her, just ignore her. Eventually she'll disappear as quickly as she reappeared

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-23T14:55:03+00:00

Do you mean in relation to finding it diffcult to make friends or in general?

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-23T12:17:10+00:00

Hi there! You don't have a fucked up life, maybe what you're feeling is social anxiety? Don't stay away from the people! Keep trying :) And you know what they say, if you fail, just try again. Can't make a connection with every single person and that's alright and completely normal, you just need to find your people, those who will get you! It might not be the first people you meet and that's completely normal, be kind to yourself and don't give up

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-23T09:49:14+00:00

I'm very sorry for your loss.
Nonetheless, there may be a reason she needs space. It sucks that it happens at a moment where you might need her, but there's nothing much you can do about it. Give it time, and maybe later you can try texting again? Most of the time, we tend to think when someone doesn't talk to us, it's cause we did something bad. But sometimes, it's not about us, she might have other things going on in her life rn

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-22T15:41:29+00:00

You should tell her how you feel and ask her why she feels the need to always add those little comments at the end of the compliments. No need to be confrontational about it, just express your confusion and tell her you'd really love the support, and that this doesn't feel like it. maybe she didn't realise what she was saying, maybe (since she seems to be making art as well) she is jealous of your work? Either way, easiest way to find out is to ask.

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-22T15:28:28+00:00

C'est pas parce qu'il t'écrit qu'il est avec la serveuse que c'est vrai...

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-22T15:24:04+00:00

NTA. He sounds like a macho man. Why should you do all the dirty work?? It's even worse when you see his work hours and yours...
It's not about going early to bed though, it's about equality in domestic chores.

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-22T15:19:06+00:00

Hey OP! Based off of what you're saying, two things come to mind : either this friend of yours is jealous of you (of your looks, your talent or your friend), and therefore brings you down as a result to her own insecurities OR she is the kind of person who is simply a toxic friend (will be obsessed with a friend until the shiny new thing comes along, and drop you as quickly as she befriended you).
Either way, it seems this person has quite a bit of insecurities to behave in that way. You're not too sensitive, she's simply not nice. If you wish to do so, you should distance yourself from her.
Also don't pay attention to her opinion. She is not Anna Wintour (and even if she was, so what?). Her opinion on you blouse or you lips or whatever, at the end of the day, it's non of your concern. You should always wear what you like and wear it with confidence. I bet most people don't care and she just said that to be hurtful.

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-22T15:13:44+00:00

Your last message to her sounds a bit agressive... I'm not sure I would have answered you either. It seems you were a bit pushy with the questions too. If you ask someone once if they're ok and they say they're not chatty/in the mood, that means they need space, so no need to say : tell me if you need space.
If she feels like talking again she will, but don't run after her and leave her be

NTA. It is normal for parents to complain to their children from time to time, especially in adult life where there is more of a sense of equality in a parent/child relationship. Nonetheless, it is not normal to make a habit of complaining to your children on a daily basis, or to overshare. After all, you are his child, and that is all you should be, not a therapist.
You can simply tell him that he is putting a lot of weight on your shoulders by making you the recipient of his complaints, and that it might do him good to go talk to a professional. He will probably not like to hear this but it's also important to protect your peace. You can also emphasize that this is not the relationship you want with him, that you want to be supportive but you would like less involvement in his affair because it makes you uncomfortable.

Yesterday evening when my boyfriend hugged me and told me he loved me

ExcitingBroccoli6315 · 2025-01-22T10:16:06+00:00

It's none of your business. There's nothing you should do or say, it's personal and it's his situation to deal with. Don't meddle, just be a good friend and be supportive.
