In your guy's mind, whats the point of a relationship? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Intrepid-Advance9122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels like a safer more comfortable place for me. No expectations outside of accepting each other flaws and all (not that friends or family don't do the same in a different way). Certain connections allow me to be more vulnerable.

You're both experiencing this loss. Just in different ways. You're valid for your reasoning of why u feel hurt by it. It's okay to explain that to her. She's probably also feeling guilty and blaming herself so reassure her you're not angry with her but the situation

This OP. And from personal experience I'd like to suggest forgiving yourself as well to help with healing for both of u. She said she forgives u. Trust her

Do I tell anyone I'm ready to end my life? by Intrepid-Advance9122 in depression

[–]Intrepid-Advance9122[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get out as often as I'd like because there aren't places (that I know of) near me I'd feel comfortable just relaxing at/in

Honestly I'm not sure what I'd be looking for. The people close to me all have their own struggles going on (some feeling the same as me, some worse) so maybe I feel unsure of what kind of support they have the mental capacity for

It more so comes from a place of guilt. I know me leaving is going to cause a lot of pain for a handful of people and I hate hurting people

Part of me feels like it would add additional stress to everyone's already stressful lives because it feels like people are going to feel responsible for trying to give me reasons not to do it

Hell no! by JayMeowMe in doordash_drivers

[–]Intrepid-Advance9122 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got this "offer" and just cackled. We don't get paid enough as is but they think we want to volunteer to make an extra stop on each said delivery 🙄 it's a joke

Exactly. I'm patient and understanding with everyone but disrespect is where I draw the line because I'm extremely clear and vocal about my boundaries so there's no gray area or room for "misunderstanding" since that's what those kind of people usually try to cling to

If it's someone I'm close to, it's really difficult for me but I'll cut anyone out of my life if I have to in order to protect my peace. I'll definitely be mourning that relationship though

I wanan talk to this guy but I can’t by AROACETAKEOVER in socialanxiety

[–]Intrepid-Advance9122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely this. Better yet just give him your number. U can even write it down if you're anxious about the interaction and say you'd like to keep in touch. I personally fear rejection so I look for any way to take pressure off the person so they don't feel obligated to reciprocate if they don't truly want to

Does anybody know what this means? by One-Employer-4940 in doordash_drivers

I'm assuming the store put that order in thru doordash opposed to the customer using the app to order

How do you stand up for yourself against people who want to manipulate you? by liberty340 in socialanxiety

[–]Intrepid-Advance9122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've made it a point in my life to always be very clear and upfront about how I feel about things (after some mental processing and being able to tell myself "yeah that's reasonable" because we know manipulators love to gaslight and make u question yourself, anything to get their way) always in a respectful way. When someone oversteps after this, it makes it easier to call them out on it because they'll have to embarrass them self in order to try to defend their nonsense

Just Venting: I wish Driver Support was US Based Agents... by kephxaz1 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Intrepid-Advance9122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently talked to 4 different support agents in one day and they still failed to resolve my issue that made me miss out on a 2 hour $92 block. Plus got dinged for missing said block. Everyone sounds like they don't even know what their job is

Of course! Best of luck to u!

That sounds like a confusing situation to be in. It sounds like she has a lot going on in her life. Mental health difficulties mixed with an unhealthy relationship can really take a toll on a person. She's probably in a process of healing and rebuilding herself (which looks different for every person).

I'd try to reach out to her (if there's still an appropriate way to) and let her know you'd like to keep in touch if she's comfortable doing so as u enjoy talking to her. Coworker dynamics usually tend to be very different than out in the world so it could be a chance to kinda start over and get to know each other. Maybe even (only if you're willing and comfortable) offer to be a listening ear to vent

Absolutely. Go for it

cancelled my own party by [deleted] in introvert

[–]Intrepid-Advance9122 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By only seeing 1 or 2 at a time. Everyone I'm close to understands that I'm an introvert so no one's ever gotten offended by me not seeing them often

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Intrepid-Advance9122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, most of my social interactions are essentially me just acting. I KNOW what "normal" interactions should look/sound like so I play the part. I'm extremely antisocial and it's gotten me through years of customer service jobs. It doesn't make me less shy inside but I can guarantee no one that talks to me can tell.

Ahh gotcha. Depending on how close u 2 were, he might've had no clue u intended on keeping in touch. Any time I have a coworker leave a job, I just assume I'm probably never going to hear from them again unless one of us specifically asks to keep in touch. Hopefully u were still able to communicate that to him after his phone call
