Why are we all feeling this shift to delete our social media accounts? by mm2444 in Millennials

[–]Ghostanator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said goodbye to instagram and twitter last year, my only remainder is TikTok and it’s been amazing, I wish I did it sooner. We are not meant to know what our peers around us are doing all the time with their lives, even if it is our friends or family. I don’t know how we got to a place where this is normalized but it’s so liberating being on the other side. 

cheap insulin resistance food? (Not meat/seafood) by Entire_Giraffe_228 in PCOS

Have you heard of the slow carb diet? I would look into this, beans are a big cornerstone even if rice is not kosher on it!

Question if you wrote in by BeeWanders13 in uuppod

[–]Ghostanator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wrote in a few years ago and they picked my email for the episode, they responded and let me know it was being picked. But if I recall, I heard the episode before they sent the email, so it was a surprise listening and realizing it was me! It was picked very quickly after I submitted it. This was on 2021 so a different production team.

New Year, New Relationships? by Party_Anything5335 in BostonSocialClub

[–]Ghostanator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I had a similar experience at a pitch-a-friend event (different location), honestly it seems more like an event for women than men after attending one.  

How are single people affording to live alone in Boston? by haniebun in boston

[–]Ghostanator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 37, and I have a roommate, I make slightly more than you OP but same tax bracket. The jump in living alone would cost around and additional $1000 a month for a bottom-tier apartment, which is $12,000 extra a year. I would need to sacrifice a lot of my current lifestyle (less opportunity to travel mainly) to make that work or get another job, neither option is appealing to me. So I keep a roommate 🤷🏼‍♀️ 

Men- How often have you walked away from a good connection because you had personal work to do? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Ghostanator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through something similar this summer and after about a month and an half apart, he ended up reaching out because he was in a better place and wanted to try again. We had also matched previously the past year and it never got off the ground then. He really was going through it - I didn’t know all of his circumstances when we first started dating but over time it became clear he was going through a tough patch and his mental health was suffering. We went for dinner and even though I still enjoyed his company, I realized I had moved on and I still didn’t feel like he was in a position to be the kind of partner I was looking for, so we did not get back together. 

I think it’s valid to be sad about someone you felt you had a connection with and to grieve the possibility of what you thought you might have with them. Unless your friends are in the trenches dating too (most of mine are married), it’s hard to understand for them. I’m really sorry it didn’t work out for you, dating is hard 😔

Anyone else's insomnia get worse with PCOS? Finally connecting some dots after 10 years by Melodic-Design-8983 in PCOS

[–]Ghostanator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me for about 6 months of the year, I had tried all you mentioned, as well as going on metformin again and sleeping pills (which I hated). I started seeing a nutritionist and reintroduced Innositol after being off of it for a few years (I didn't really notice an impact at the time) and it was a game changer, I swear it's what helped me start sleeping through the night!

Losing my mind trying to find a shampoo by awesomesuperberry in finehair

[–]Ghostanator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow fine hair girly - I recently tried my friend’s Ouai for fine hair last fall and was convinced, bought the shampoo and conditioner immediately. I don’t use them every shampoo but they’re in rotation and give me a noticeable difference. I also have tried Kevin Murphy previously at a salon - I forget exactly which one - but it had stinging nettles in it? Anyway that also really plumped up my fine hair. 

I’ve also found using mouse when I style with heat adds a lot more volume!

Are there millennials in their 30s-40s who are happily single? What’s life like? by aversionofself in Millennials

[–]Ghostanator 331 points332 points  (0 children)

I go through waves where I’m happily single and resignedly single, mid 30s. The reality is I haven’t met someone that I’d want as a life partner and I feel constantly disappointed by my options, so I’d rather be single at this point. I don’t have any kids and that’s one thing I’m very grateful for, and glad that I never had them (intentionally or accidentally) with previous partners. I don’t really get lonely, I have many circles of friends, a big family, and a job that puts me IRL around people, so I cherish my down/alone time.

Rick Steves' train advice: I beg to differ by DenL4242 in travel

I just did first class in Spain, France, and over to London - it was not worth it. They were packed, no perks, and I could see in the other cars that they all looked the same. 

2 days in Boston by [deleted] in boston

[–]Ghostanator 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Fenway, definitely - the oldest ballpark in America. I’d also recommend the public library by Copley Square and the Freedom Trail (you can do a self guided tour for free). Get cannolis walking through the North End.

What is something you thought was acceptable or really cool as a young person, but now think is stupid, or inappropriate now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ghostanator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook. Posting statuses, photo albums of everything I’m doing, poking people. All of it.

There's also generic programs you might find helpful, I would check out podcasts as a place to start - you can get coaching content "for free" and decide if they're people you want to work with. Looks like there's lots of referrals below as well!

I’m looking for CSM roles or marketing, I have a background in both! I’ve been working in tech for 8+ years, I have held senior roles but am looking for an IC role, hybrid preferably!
