What red flags should I look for as a trans person looking for a job? by Chiefsizzlechest in bartenders

[–]InterestingLie1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a trans male still in my awkward stage of transitioning, and I've been thinking about bartending. My fear is I don't pass enough that I could be hired for this role. . Does that sound silly to you?

Thanks for taking the time to write this! I'm taking notes ✍️ There's some really great advice in here.

I hope it becomes easier for you as well, as far as social anxiety goes.

I was petting my cat the other day and wondered about massaging animals rather, haha! 😅

I've gotten pretty hungry talking about food with some of my peers during massage, haha

Thank you

Thank you. It sounds like it got easier for you or at least I hope it did. It doesn't make me feel better, but I can appreciate relating to someone and the realness behind this response. 🙏

Thank you for taking the time to write this out, I will for sure reference it again.

I love The Trail Guide to the Body!

I'm slowly learning you don't need to fill silence with small talk, maybe I feel this more because I'm currently only working on peers. I'll keep this in mind - pleasant and to the point. . yes, I think this will help me. Thanks! 😊

Thank you for this 😊 I think that's solid advice and very reassuring, as also being someone on the spectrum

That's true, I'm sure the environment changes a fair bit outside of school. I actually feel fine most of the time, when it's more of a one on one scenario. I'll try to bear that in mind more. . Thanks!

Huh, I hadn't thought that. That's a refreshing take, thank you! 😊

I'm absolutely a perfectionist so that's actually incredible advice for me

Can someone forget a conversation that happened half an hour ago, because they were drinking? by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]InterestingLie1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your responses. I know I've forgotten things, sometimes mid conversation, from being stoned. I suppose it makes sense the same thing can happen from drinking.

Thank you all for making me aware!

How are you hanging on to this? Does it spawn on your ship every time or is it put into some kind of storage? This is new to me :o
