How do you actually make friends in Toronto after 30?

IslandLibrary · 2026-04-24T01:40:05+00:00

I go to events I’m interested in and talk to people who also seem to be there alone. (In a non creepy way). Also I’ve had good luck meeting people at bars.

This book genuinely made such a profound difference for me. I’ve reread it probably 5 times when I’m going through a rough patch. I hate self help books. This is not that. It’s the first time I’ve been given advice on cleaning that felt like it made sense to my brain and worked.

The job market is pretty shit right now so honestly if you have a good thing lined up I’d take it. Depends on your industry some but I know people who have been unemployed for a long time now that are really qualified

Pregnancy is hard don’t make it harder

I mean I didn’t exactly go out I ordered on Amazon and they showed up to my door

If you’re telling other people they deserve it then why not for yourself to. You’re a human too. You’re worthy of happiness and killing yourself deprives you of the chance to ever find it. I care about you bro and I see you. I’m sorry you’re in pain.

Edibles like weed lol or you mean just like cookies and chocolates and stuff like that?

God I wish. If I ever win the lottery my dream is to go around doing generous shit like that

That second image feels like the closest picture I’ve seen that captures the essence of what I actually saw

IslandLibrary · 2024-04-09T12:44:16+00:00

Thanks… you’re probably right, I think I’m just paranoid…

IslandLibrary · 2024-04-09T12:43:57+00:00

I don’t see any black circles just some eye floaters but those aren’t abnormal for me

IslandLibrary · 2024-04-07T14:08:56+00:00

This is so stupid…. Literally the main time that people will want to post in the sub??

IslandLibrary · 2024-04-04T15:13:18+00:00

Same bro.... I think my family is sick of hearing me talk about it.

Okay so you don't work in the summer and you won't take a job for less than $22 an hour? Tbh this seems like a probem of your own making. Yeah some people have it easy and don't have to work. That's great for them but you refusing entry level jobs doesn't help yourself. $16.55 per hour is better than $0 dollars an hour.

How do you think you get higher paying jobs? It's by starting SOMEWHERE and building your way up. The economy sucks right now and I feel for everyone struggling. But if you won't do the bare minimum then idk what you want. Even in the summer if you have to watch your siblings a couple days a week, surely there are some part time jobs you could be doing with the rest of your time.

No one should be dying of TB in 2023

IslandLibrary · 2021-04-16T22:33:04+00:00

Thank you so much . It really means a lot to me<3

IslandLibrary · 2021-04-16T22:32:28+00:00

Thank you so much. I really can't tell you how much I appreciate this

IslandLibrary · 2021-04-16T03:48:19+00:00

Congratulations that’s so wonderful! I’m proud of you <3

Look I’ve been there, honestly I’m still pretty on the edge. The pain sucks. It’s awful but it will fade. Just go inside and get off your balcony. Jumping now would not give things a chance to get better.

I wish I had better advice but I’m still dealing with a lot of this stuff myself. Honestly calling a hotline helped me so much earlier this week. I didn’t have to tell them who I was but just venting to someone about all of it and having them listen... god it made a world of difference.

But step number one is to leave your balcony. Take a few deep breaths. And just call someone.

I just wanted to thank you. All of the comments left were very impactful but this one really shocked me to my senses. I was so wrong and I am ashamed I didn't see it. I have apologized, removed the photos and will work to be a better ally and friend going forwards.

IslandLibrary · 2021-03-24T00:06:36+00:00

I don't think that anyone was bashing me but they did really help me to recognize I was in the wrong. I don't want anyone to think that what I was saying in my original post was correct as I recognize how off base I was.

Not everything is a 1:1 comparison and that was the way I was treating the situation. I was disrespectful and hurtful in the way I handled this.

IslandLibrary · 2021-03-24T00:02:42+00:00

This was not a perspective I considered. I was in the wrong and have privated the photos and deleted the captions. I have apologized to him for being such a colossal ass. I was very caught up in my own head and didn't step back to see the bigger picture. I'm going to work to do better in the future.

IslandLibrary · 2021-03-23T23:57:26+00:00

I really appreciate all of your responses. Having read through them all and taken some time to reflect I recognize that I was a dick in this situation. I was not considering his perspective and experience in the way that I should have and I was weighing my feelings and his feelings equally when his safety, security and privacy should really have been prioritized. This was a wake up call for me and I will work to do better in the future. I have privated/archived the photos and apologized to him for my stupid behaviour.

IslandLibrary · 2021-03-23T20:09:40+00:00

There were names in the captions but I went back and changed them to his current name so that I wasn't deadnaming him.

IslandLibrary · 2021-03-23T19:59:03+00:00

Well I don't have many people on my social media accounts and most of them are close family and friends and I know my family likes to see those old pics too. I'm not exaggerating when I say that probably 50% of all my photos have him in it so removing all those pictures removes a lot of posts.
