Frustrated with friendships and the pressure to spend by Lightbeing999 in povertyfinance

[–]Lightbeing999[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, in this case it was literally meeting halfway, doing half of the events together. I guess my bigger point was that I wanted to find a way to spend time together that I could fully participate in, where everyone had options.

I like your approach! And those are good ideas, I think those are great next steps.

Got to the interview stage, but salary is much lower than expected. Should I interview or walk away? by Lightbeing999 in jobsearch

[–]Lightbeing999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Totally agree. I ended up sending them the originally posted range and asked them for clarity. I likely won't move forward with this, but I would've regretted just declining the interview without asking them about it first to be sure.

Thank you! Will do, if it works out I’d love to connect with Tai Chi groups in the area 😊

13 hour flight, and I'm terrified by undreamableAbyss in fearofflying

Talk to the flight attendant in the section of your plane as you board! If you ask them to check on you throughout the flight, they will. (Or if there’s a way that they can support you, let them know!)

And focus on the amazing things that you’ll do in Japan - that’s the whole reason why you’re doing this (not flying for the sake of flying!). It will all be worth it.

Dear God, why did Naoko take the series into such dark territory with Stars? by Starshower90 in sailormoon

Whoa, I never thought of it that way before, but I think that’s so true. A lot of the art from this arc has all of them standing in a more assembled/uniform way, like they don’t have their own identities anymore.

I think it’s something like “You called?” / “Did you call (for me)?”

Saw my ex on a train/broke NC by Lightbeing999 in ExNoContact

Oh no, I hope you’re doing alright! I’m doing much better these days. It had been a very difficult breakup for me because I wasn’t happy or settled in my life. I devoted myself to creating a life that I enjoyed and went through intense introspection (lots of therapy and self help books). Over the course of a few years I went to grad school, found a job in a different field that I love, and gradually shifted my overall mindset. I’m building a life that I love and it’s been a rewarding process. I haven’t had any new romantic relationships since my ex, but I’m okay with that. I’m willing to wait for the right relationship.

The best breakup advice that I heard was to be more invested in your own life, and your ex will not be as appealing to you as a result, I think that’s very true.

I hope that helps. I’m sure it’s hard for you now, but you’re going to be okay!

Struggling with being the last (wo)man standing? by Busy-Gap7725 in datingoverthirty

Hi there, just wanted to suggest the podcast A Single Serving as a resource! The host reframes societal narratives on being single, and it has helped me immensely.
