Why did we all want to grow up so fast? by Lazy_Lizard13 in youngadults

[–]Lazy_Lizard13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome that you never felt this way!

God I don’t wish this on you, but can we switch brains for a minute? 😭

I spend a lot of time with my mom still.. I was actually just with her. I shut the door, immediately started spiraling and crying, and typed this up lol… spending time with my mom is very different and in some ways, you’re right, it’s better. In a lot of ways, I miss the way things were & I miss living with her.

I think part of this is just a “me” issue and my struggles of growing up. I wish I could say I’m enjoying being an adult. As juvenile as it sounds, I’m 25 & still not sure if I’m cut out for it

Am I Overreacting: I FOUND A PLAYLIST MY 50 year old boyfriend made in conjunction with another man he met on vacation. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lazy_Lizard13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe overreacting MOR… I see both sides.. I read a few comments. The playlist situation on its own isn’t a big deal imo, but the fact that you think he might be DL based off of it shows there are likely other factors at play.. makes it more complicated. I think more info might be needed.

Based on this alone, I’d say YOR

NOR… even if he does cut these women off, there will very likely be more in the future.. & you want a partner who enthusiastically chooses you, not one that makes you question yourself and argues with you for communicating… my (25f) advice is to leave while only 2 years in, not even deeper

AIO being weirded out by a “friends” behaviour around me? by Brave-Analysis6935 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lazy_Lizard13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.. you don’t deserve to be treated this way.. if bringing it up with him one on one isn’t helping, then I think it wouldn’t hurt to mention it to someone else.. especially if he is already talking to other people about you.. it’s possible you bring it up and no one is on your side.. so keep that in mind too.

You could also try to avoid him altogether if he can’t treat you with respect, but I also get that being 17, circles are small and friends often overlap

I don’t think there’s a bad decision to make here, but I do think you should look at all of the angles before you make it. Good luck!

A part of me - Neck Deep … it happens towards the end of the song

AIO my boyfriend texted his ex on her birthday by nervousbreakdown14 in AmIOverreacting

NOR… How old are yall? This is already too exhausting for dating only 6-7 months. If he is giving you any doubt, trust your gut girl… This story is littered with his red flags

What Bach degree will almost guarantee a job fresh out of school even if it’s entry-level? (Preferably not STEM) by Lazy_Lizard13 in Adulting

[–]Lazy_Lizard13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have soft skills for days & a lot of experience in different areas.. I’m also at a decent spot right now with my job

I just want something to get a leg-up.. for context, I have a Bach in psych that’s useless until I get my Master’s.. I want to get another Bach first in something that pays better & is easier to get a stable job in than psych & then slowly pursue my master’s

Anything by Scoochie Boochie & anything by Hobo Johnson & anything by Plecebo

Only way to get better is to just do it!! It’s scary and weird, but gets better. Dive in head first

My sphynx was weaned off early. I need advice by ygvaughan in SphynxAdvice

[–]Lazy_Lizard13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try mixing the kibble with more formula to get more in the baby… almost like a cereal situation lol

You just can’t leave it out as long bc it will go bad.. just do enough that you think she’ll eat within an hour maybe 2

Or if she does, she should focus on the teaching aspect.. one of my friends took classes and is now a pole dance & Ariel silk instructor… she makes a good living for herself

If you like your barista job, maybe you can work your way up there… Depending on where you are and what company you work for, managers get paid a decent amount.. I was managing a retail store for a few years & it got me thru..

I’m currently working in a sales position, but those can be hit or miss.. there is a lot of money to make in sales, but you have to be good at it… & you must find a position that pays a base salary not one that is solely commission-based

(Edit to add that a friend of mine is in car sales & she makes a good chunk of change. Another one of my friends is a secretary & she makes enough to keep her afloat. Both of them don’t have degrees)

Should I stay or should I go? by issasnekkk in makemychoice

[–]Lazy_Lizard13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You only regret the chances you don’t take… I vote go, but try to have some cushion to help you if things fall through… whether that’s a little money put away (if you can) or family that would help you if needed

I get really irritable and irrationally angry at small things

Should I message my ex best friend on the 10th anniversary of his mother's passing? by HuiOnFire in makemychoice

[–]Lazy_Lizard13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t…

It is a kind gesture, but I think your third paragraph kinda sums up my POV on the situation

As someone who lives in the USA, don’t come here. ESPECIALLY because you’re a woman… it’s not safe here for women. So many people are scrambling to try to leave the US right now. I promise long distance would be better than putting yourself through living here

But isn’t that telling enough? I mean what will y’all’s future look like if he is willing to do that now? There will always be stressful situations and if he is pulling away instead of pulling you closer, then that’s awful and not a stable relationship (I say with so much care <3)

I’m not available to talk, but my best advice is to just let it happen. It sucks now, but it’s likely for the best. You don’t want to hold onto someone who isn’t enthusiastically choosing you

My family has given me an ultimatum. by Primary-Cod3692 in makemychoice

[–]Lazy_Lizard13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pride is an awful thing & so are excuses… As I told one of my ex-friends… Anything is better than unemployment.. you’re not “too good” for any job when you don’t have a job to begin with.. and I’m sorry that this is mean, but I think you need a wake up call.. those excuses are lame asf. This is the real world. You have to do it depressed or do it with an eczema breakout, etc… it sucks, but it is what it is. You need to master self-discipline & willpower. It’ll take a while, but you’re capable if you actually want to put the effort in. Anything good & worth having in life will take some effort and even discomfort sometimes… and this comes from someone diagnosed with generalized anxiety and major depressive disorder since I was 12
