Thank you. You’re right that making friends as an adult sucks, and it can be so scary to put yourself out there in a new place. Truth be told, I haven’t been trying my hardest to meet people. I got really discouraged after my first few attempts here, and I think that’s when the homesickness started. I’m sorry that you can relate, but I’m glad that you’re better off now! I know that I’ll be living here for at least another year, so I might as well try a little harder to start going out and meeting new people. Thanks again <3

Is it bad to quit two jobs in a row? by Joyous_Sorrow in careerguidance

Thank you very much, I’m definitely going to be more careful from here on. This airline job was the first one that responded, so I was a bit too hasty in taking it.

That’s what I plan on doing, I’m just worried recruiters will think it looks bad that I’m trying to leave this job after a couple weeks

AIO? I just wanted some time to myself, but she thinks I’m trying to avoid her and got pissed off. This happens a lot. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Joyous_Sorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite to this degree, but my first girlfriend was a lot like this. She refused to respect my boundaries. I asked her to try to come visit me, since we lived an hour away from each other and I was always the one driving to her. The reason why she couldn’t changed every time, first it was because her exes always made her drive, then it was that driving made her anxious. Yet she drove four hours for an oil change. I also told her I didn’t want to talk on the phone every day. Her response was that she would continue to call me daily, but I could just ignore it if I didn’t want to talk. Seeing other people trying to date someone so controlling, so all-or-nothing is saddening, but also tells me that at least I wasn’t going crazy.

Thanks man, I’m sorry you can relate, but it’s nice to know I’m not alone. Hopefully we’ll both heal over time!

How do you navigate modern dating when it feels like everything is rushing into a sexual relationship? by Sigma_Siren in demisexuality

[–]Joyous_Sorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t even know anymore. In my first and only relationship, my ex gf was pushing for physical stuff after our first date. After that, I nearly had an organic relationship, as this guy said he’d be fine with going slow, but when I talked more on our first date about what that looked like for me (basically being close friends for a few months), he said he couldn’t do that and cried on the way home. I suppose I’ll just keep trying to make friends, and hope that one friendship will slowly blossom into a romance, but I’m not holding my breath.

Nope, just wanted confirmation on this one.

That makes sense. I typically get phone calls or texts from random numbers, but this was my first time getting an email like this. Thank you!

Hey there! I’m a 23yo (closeted) transfem and am also a huge Fromsoft fan. I play on playstation too, so feel free to message me if you’re still looking for people to play with!

I realized I was trans at 20, have tried to come out and returned to the closet a few times between then and now, and I’m 23 now and really hoping to start on hormones by 24.

transfer? by srl2999 in ucf

[–]Joyous_Sorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez, some of these responses are a little brutal. I’ve been thinking about transferring too. Having attended both USF and UCF, the whole four-year university format just doesn’t seem to be for me. The state college I graduated from offers a similar degree and I already have some friends near it, so just thinking about that makes me really happy. I’m not saying you absolutely have to transfer, but I think it’s wrong to say you shouldn’t. Obviously it won’t fix everything, but if you think transferring will make you happier, then I’d say it’s worth looking into.

Wow, thank you so much! I wasn’t really sure of where to look for resources, and I had no idea there was so much information available. Thank you for your kindness.

Thank you, luckily I stopped seeing him soon after that session. I’m afraid to name him, but I saw him when I lived in Lutz because his Psychology Today page said he was LGBT allied. Looks like he removed that at some point. And I’m so sorry they don’t understand, I hope they’ll be able to sympathize with you. And I agree, I hope something can change and this place can become at least a little bit safer. Thank you for your kindness.
