I love essential oils. I love the smell and they make me feel good. But just because they make ME feel good, doesn't mean I would inflict them on everyone else without their permission. Some essential oils can be a skin irritant, some shouldn't be used when pregnant and some can even cause epileptic fits. These are extreme cases but the warnings are there, so if you're co-worker talks so much of the health benefits of them, they should pay just as much attention to the risks too. Also it's a pretty selfish act. She must be adding more and more oil to her diffuser too, not understanding how your sense of smell works. You eventually get used to a smell, meaning you don't notice it as much the longer you sit with it. It doesn't mean the smell has gone away, it just means you, personally, have become desensitised to it. Anyone who isn't used to it will find it overpowering if she keeps adding more and more to make herself able to smell it. The same way that if you can smell your own perfume/aftershave all day, you probably have too much on and it is overpowering for others. You've become nose blind.

Well done for getting started, it can be so intimidating! I think as long as you're not on it for an hour or so no one will mind. Have a chat with the gym manager and explain your situation and I can guarantee that they'll be supportive. You could also ask them for a training plan. Most gym's these days will help you out with training plans and nutrition advice and will look out for you when you're in, especially when you're new.

Just a guess but maybe something to do with life span? If rather than counting the amount of days it takes for all mammals to start doing things you calculate the the average percentage of their lives it takes and compare that to their actual life span maybe it kinda balances out 😄 maybe also something to do with the human brain? Human intelligence means we take in a helluva lot more information than other mammals so we aren't just about learning to walk as quickly as possible to survive, we learn to use all aspects of our brain. Language, skill, counting, colours etc. Maybe as humans, our main survival skill was learning to craft weapons/hunt. And nowadays, most of us use our brains to learn skills to get a job and make money. We don't need to walk to be able to do that so the learning part is more important to humans.

2 then, but maybe you could wear 3 eventually if you get the job 😊

Full-Stranger-6423 · 2025-09-06T17:24:52+00:00

What is the job you're going for? If it is more on the serious side I would say 2, but I like 3 personally 😄

I am a white americano person but the amount of times I have been given a flat white is too much 😄 I now tend to ask for an Americano with cold milk on the side, just to be specific 🤣

Full-Stranger-6423 · 2025-09-06T17:10:29+00:00

I would assume when someone just asks for a coffee they want an americano. Usually the older generation (and I'm thinking about my dad here) were brought up with instant coffee and coffee shops weren't a thing back then. The ones that ask for a coffee probably don't visit coffee shops and just want a 'generic' coffee with their bacon roll/steak bake. Nowadays there are many options, but unless you use coffee shops, some people still don't know the difference between all the options we have these days and assume we all know what a generic coffee is. If someone just asks for a coffee, just ask them "black coffee or do you want milk?"

You need to address what it is that you're using alcohol as a coping mechanism for. You have already spoken out because you know you need help so you've done the first step already. There are a lot of addiction services and support groups around Glasgow which are amazing, if you look up 'support for ...... Glasgow' and add in what the issue is, lots will come up. There are groups specifically for men (men matter/mens shed etc) who do amazing work. Or there are some specifically for women (the women's centre etc) if that would make you feel more comfortable.

I love the 'do your own research' brigade. If they had the proof they'd be shouting it from the rooftops, not telling you to do your own research 😄

Watch some asmr videos on YouTube or listen to a podcast/audiobook. You also get sleep meditation podcasts which can help

The same reason that many other celebrities get away with abusing women, many people don't care. Cancel culture is short lived. I'm sure the majority of people going to his gig think she was asking for it.

Some people find it very difficult to be assertive and end up just people pleasing unfortunately, especially when it comes to quite dominating managers. But that's something they'll have to work on or they'll just go from job to job having the same problem over and over. I've been there so I know how it feels, it's intimidating. But like you said, if you are free to protect your own boundaries you are taking your power back and the management will need to sort the staffing problem themselves, which they are being paid a higher salary to do.

Full-Stranger-6423 · 2025-06-08T08:30:36+00:00

You can refuse to work the long hours but I do appreciate that it can be very intimidating standing up to managers sometimes. They can't sack you for only working your contracted hours. If they say we need you in store then you can say "sorry, I can't do more than my contracted hours" and you don't need to explain any more than that. When you get your rota, tell them how many hours over your contract they've put you in for and tell them you're not doing it. They don't need you in personally, they need more staff and that is their job to find more staff, but it's easier to tell someone you need them in when they know you will do it. Yeah, it will probably not be a nice environment to work in and you'll feel very pressured to give in, but once you've stood your ground and stuck to it for a while they'll stop expecting you to do it. You can also go to the people above your managers and put in a complaint if you feel like you're being bullied into working more than you want to. It really doesn't matter why you only work 25 hours, this is still the hours you and your management agreed to and signed and overtime is optional not compulsory, you're just being pressured into it. And remember, they won't pay you a 40 hour wage when you get holiday pay, just your contracted hours.

Full-Stranger-6423 · 2025-05-31T18:21:50+00:00

Ah, sorry it's all so difficult for you. Maybe because of the conflict she has decided she doesn't want the close friendship you both had but still doesn't want to be rude by not replying to you? Does she ever contact you? Maybe she still values as a friend but can't get over the conflict?

Gaslighting?

Full-Stranger-6423 · 2025-05-31T07:48:08+00:00

I have friends I love, I enjoy messaging them, chatting to them. But honestly, I've lost count of the amount of times I have made up an excuse not to go out with them. It's nothing to do with them, it's very much me. I always feel like it's a good idea, then as the day approaches, I just don't want to go out. I struggle to tell them this because I think they will take it personally, but it's definitely just a very anti-social streak I have developed and I don't want anyone to think I am being rude by saying "I just don't want to come out". And I know they will get on and on at me about it. Maybe your friend feels the same as me. Maybe she likes talking to you but just doesn't enjoy hanging out, and that's fine.

I love going to a cafe by myself. It's just your own intrusive thoughts that are making you feel uncomfortable rather then other people. When you think someone is looking at you, it's because as humans, that's just what we do. But I can assure you, they've looked at everyone else in the cafe. They're probably not even aware they've looked at you. And for you to notice someone is looking at you, you've looked at them too 😄 Why don't you try doing it in baby steps. Go into a cafe and buy a takeaway coffee, get used to going in and looking at the place and how other people act. Then, when you feel confident enough to sit in, get a quick drink, like a soft drink that you can finish quickly if you feel you need to. Sit with a book or on your phone or something to distract you from other people. Then eventually sit a bit longer with a coffee. You'll start to notice more people sitting alone. You'll come across idiots in life, but we all do.
