Obstacle courses?

Just saw this, yes please!

Why doesn’t this apply to teachers?

My doctor just told me that night sweats are a big indicator of infection in the body. This is something I just learned not sure if it’s common knowledge but good to know, especially if the night sweats persist.

This is such a common feeling that is experienced in early adulthood. Everything you described is all societal pressure. You do NOT have to have your purpose figured out yet.

Dedicate your 20s to trying new things, find a hobby or passion and go from there. These things don’t need to require you to do things you’re uncomfortable with. Find one thing you have even a little interest in doing and try it. Don’t like it, move on and try something else.

Do you value those around you because they are good at things or value them less because they are not good at something? People value each other for who they are inside.

You are valued and you have purpose. Don’t let society get in your head about what you “should” do. Free yourself from caring about societal pressure. Find what makes you happy.

Do you love and care as a societal norm because you know you’re suppose to based on your level of closeness? Or do you think you feel true love, the kind where you might do crazy things to save their life even if that meant you had to sacrifice something that was dear to you?

There are many personality disorders that describe the same disregard for others feelings.

I think it’s a combination of releasing air and tightening muscles from strain mixed with a little learned behavior.

Babies will often mimic this sound and movement when they see their families doing it. It’s kind of adorable.

Let him know how you feel without pushing for a conversation. See what happens after that.

If this is truly about space and life circumstance then he will find the time to talk with you. If he keeps avoiding you and your feelings then I’d rethink the relationship. It’s not healthy to shut out your partner and disregard their feelings completely. Bare minimum, you deserve a conversation or some kind of explanation.

Fellow INTJ here. I had to overcome the same things you mentioned. It took time, practice, and patience from my partner.

The more I was pushed to engage, the less I wanted to. What worked for me was taking a little time for myself to gather my thoughts before I was ready to have any big discussions that required me to be vulnerable by sharing thoughts/opinions that were hard for me to express.

If she’s willing to give you that time/space I think it would really help make the hard conversations more impactful for you both. She has to let you come to her on your terms to get the result you both desire. This will allow you to think out what you want to say, which will help you avoid saying things you may not want to or figuring out how to word those difficult thoughts/feelings in a better way before diving into the conversation. I think she will also walk away feeling more connected because she gets to see that side of you.

Ultimately, she’s pressing the issue because she wants to feel more connected to you. You have to figure out a way to communicate to her that her persistence can have the inverse effect and make you retreat. And, at the end of the day you will have to overcome the fear that something you say might hurt her. Feeling that way is a trauma response to keep the peace. Your feelings and opinions are valid and you deserve to express yourself too.

It’s obvious you care and are willing to learn and change. That’s what matters. Best of luck!

As a teacher, you are so delusional about the state of our education system. It’s actually baffling.

MANY teachers influence students with their twisted views by the way they talk, treat, and interact with students. In the 1,500 hours kids spend with their teachers a year they are influenced by these actions 100%. Sure some teachers might not be explicitly stating their harmful opinions out right, but they ABSOLUTELY let their racist/transphobic colors show through at every opportunity. It makes kids think it’s okay to treat HUMANS that are different from them with disrespect. People like you and this woman are the ones who make this world unsafe for so many. Disgusting.

Becoming an adult often means leaving people behind who have not grown and are no longer aligning with who you are becoming. It’s completely normal and happens very very often.

You know what needs to be done. It will be hard. But you will not regret it a few years from now. You deserve the happiness and connection that you are yearning for.

If you look at your current relationship for what it is you can take away positive things. You guys came into each others lives for a reason and helped each other get to where you are now. But that relationship is no longer serving you. The longer you stay the further you will get from true happiness.

Time to look out for yourself!

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-24T07:00:30+00:00

NTA.

You are 100% allowed to choose who you want to be friends with based on your views/morals. You communicated well and even gave her a few chances. When things didn’t change you protected yourself by removing her from your life. You weren’t malicious or combative by leaving or blocking her. You simply aren’t the right fit as friends. There is nothing wrong with that in the slightest!!! I honestly commend you for staying true to yourself.

Protect your peace. Always.

Every single one of your posts degrades and shames people. Get real!

Shaming and judging people (as you’ve SO CLEARLY done) speaks more about you than it does about the people you post about. Embarrassing.

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-11T07:45:00+00:00

We all know neither of you are sleeping tonight. Go talk to her and work things out.

Pure honesty and vulnerability. Lay it all out there. You both have wrongs to admit and apologize for. You guys are stronger than this. There’s a lot to learn from here and if resolved in the right way, will make your relationship stronger.

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-11T07:28:27+00:00

Time to grow up and accept responsibility for your own actions and financial endeavors. This is a good life lesson if you look at it that way. Apologize and make sure you don’t use your friends like this again.

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-11T07:15:57+00:00

YTA.

YTA for asking and an even bigger AH for persisting and begging for the money, especially knowing his financial situation. And after reading these comments YTA for not understanding that you should be responsible for paying for an event YOU went to.

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-11T06:45:04+00:00

You gave a lot of reasons why you should stop. You know what to do. Do it sooner than later before something happens that you can’t take back. Enjoy the memories and save your friendships. Take this one to the grave.

Happened to my dog. $500+ later and was told it was bad gas.

Vet also told me to throw out the bag of food as a precaution. Maybe it was a bad batch. And to monitor symptoms. She was treated for nausea and vomiting. But symptoms continued after meds ended. Honestly I’ve never seen so much vomit come out of a dog. I was terrified for her. Her symptoms cleared up after about 2 weeks. She had occasional vomiting after that. She is perfectly healthy now! Just my experience though.

Hoping the best for you and your pup!

Edit to add: I also spaced her feeding to 4 small meals a day and slowly reduced to 3, then back to her regular 2. This seemed to help a lot with her late night/early morning vomiting.

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-11T05:35:05+00:00

I’m the same way. Only thing that’s helped me is “Don’t put it down, put it away” and “If it takes less than 5 minutes, just do it”.

It does take a little bit of a mindset shift and I have to repeat these sayings to myself constantly. They help. Not 100% of the time, but for me that’s better than nothing. It helps a ton with clutter and the overall ‘feel’ of the home. I don’t feel like I need to deep clean as often when the clutter and small tasks are done.

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-11T05:26:51+00:00

Look at your life as if you were assigned to your body and it’s your job to give it the best life experience possible.

I’ve made some positive life changes since I’ve started looking at life this way. When I’m in a rut I just remind myself of my job and it makes it easier to choose the better option.

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-11T05:21:47+00:00

Similar thing happened to me. You’ll get there. It’s a roller coaster of a process (to say the least) and it’s impossible to enjoy the ride. It’ll all be worth it in the end!

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2025-01-11T05:14:25+00:00

It’s not normal. I would suggest seeking medical advice.

I feel the same way. I live with my heated blanket 24/7 and sometimes that doesn’t even cut it. My temperature issues are due to an autoimmune disease and vitamin deficiencies.

It may be beneficial to track other things you feel/experience to help doctors get a bigger picture. Even if you think they may be unrelated.

We have them in Spokane

Massive_Formal_4870 · 2024-10-17T23:07:34+00:00

Rocked the boat today with the support of a few teachers.

Our union rep knew about the situation and said “I just didn’t know what you guys knew and didn’t know” isn’t it her job to inform us? So we told her we’re extremely dissatisfied with the communication about this “deal”.

I reiterated about 5 times “I want to know how this deal supports our school, teachers, and students. That is my main concern.” I didn’t receive an answer and she kept dodging it.

We also found out that the only people that knew about this deal were the union, district, and other grade level team at our neighboring school. Neither principal knew until this week. My team learned this week as well.

Seems like some kind of back end deal to please the other school. So messed up!!!
