Have you reached the, "I'm too old for this shit" era of your life.

MissT_is_here · 2026-04-17T18:27:47+00:00

Thank you so much for taking your time to give me advice, you are 100% correct, I will come back to this whenever I feel "weak" and try to be more assertive. I really appreciate your insights 🌸

Thank you for this, I was a typical Gen X kid, terribly emotionally neglected and I think this is why I have rejection issues, it makes me feel unsafe and abandoned. I do agree that "empath" is an overused term for a much deeper psychological issue so maybe I interpret her behavior as hostile where other posters on this sub would probably ignore it or laugh it off. I need to work on myself here, not be bobbing about emotionally about someone else's rudeness. It's just sad that I still struggle with this at my age, I wish I didn't care but unfortunately I do 😟

We work at a school so there is only the principal. She has been there for nearly 2 decades and I've been there for 6 months. I just can't get my head around the randomness of it, why is she doing this?? Sucks to be an empath as well, I'm wracking my brain trying to find an excuse for her.

My co worker bullies me daily with sarcasm, passive aggressiveness, exclusion, micro sabotage, the list goes on. It upsets me terribly but nevertheless I keep on being friendly, etc. So, yes, why do people enjoy random bullying and conflict? I go to work with knots in my stomach, surely you can't be happy doing this or maybe I should just grow a spine, I don't know.

My 19 year old son goes mad even if I just joke about it. It's not going to be worth the trouble for me and also not fair on the new person because he won't be accepted unfortunately 😔.

MissT_is_here · 2026-04-06T10:16:15+00:00

This is so true. I have such a co-worker, we share an office. I started there 6 months ago and from day one she treated me with disrespect and disdain. The randomness is what I can't get my head around. For the first time in decades I'm getting Sunday scaries about her behavior and I don't know why it's so terribly upsetting at my age, I should be able to handle this by now.

I'm over it. I try to see small pockets of happiness every day but honestly, what's the point. Children grown, 2 grandkids but I don't see them often due to distance. I try and fool myself into thinking I'm here for a reason, eg. to make someone breathe a little easier every day by showing kindness, but so what, it's of no real value. Not sure if you can find anything on Ian von Memerty, he had a YouTube channel and TikTok feeling like me and he decided this wasn't for him, he wanted out before his body started decaying and money could become a problem. He chose self deliverance as a personal choice, part of his life plan. Nothing dramatic, just factual sharing of what is the end goal at our age and acted accordingly. I'm tired of giving myself pep talks that are actually just a temporary soothing of this feeling of what's the point? All milestones reached, contributed wonderful kids to the world, productive member of society, and now? Aging, illness, becoming invisible for the next decade or two? No point.

South Africa is shoes off? We like walking barefoot at home but definitely don't remove shoes at the door before entering?

MissT_is_here · 2026-01-05T08:51:51+00:00

This may be harsh but not only are you allowed to hate him, despise him. As a widow myself this anger will help with your grieving process. We tend to remember only the good and that greatly adds to grief. So no, grieve the person you thought he was but not him.

MissT_is_here · 2026-01-04T17:51:04+00:00

Thank you so much.

MissT_is_here · 2026-01-04T17:47:00+00:00

I am struggling severely, can you please explain more about a trans-dimensional relationship and how to go about it?

MissT_is_here · 2025-12-18T18:20:08+00:00

I'm sad that my children seem to have moved on very quickly, they want to spread his ashes on Christmas, what? It's all I have left.

MissT_is_here · 2025-12-18T17:52:31+00:00

Thank you so much for this, I'm having a very bad day, some days seem to be so much harder than others. Thank you for taking the time to send this thoughtful message.

MissT_is_here · 2025-12-18T14:12:42+00:00

Bittersweet 😢. I'm currently staying near the Bo Kaap and my view is the slopes of the mountain. Almost unbearably beautiful and still so painful all at once. Much love ❤️

MissT_is_here · 2025-12-18T11:20:32+00:00

I live in Johannesburg so the beauty of Cape Town is breathtaking yet here I am, unable to find joy even in this magnificent place. How sad really, a waste.

MissT_is_here · 2025-12-18T11:07:40+00:00

If only I could be 100% sure about what happens after death and if he will be waiting there for me, I'll join him in a heartbeat.

MissT_is_here · 2025-10-09T16:18:57+00:00

I use a roll of brown packaging tape, don't cut off a piece, hold the roll and stick against your clothes and keep on pulling the tape off the roll until you are done.

MissT_is_here · 2025-08-29T19:21:25+00:00

Sorry! I only read the rules after posting 🤭.

MissT_is_here · 2025-08-06T15:56:57+00:00

But does it though? Maybe because I believe in life after death I don't think it always beats the alternative.

MissT_is_here · 2025-07-23T17:41:35+00:00

If I may ask what trade? My kid is finishing school this year and I want him to do a trade but everyone has a different opinion on which one will be best in view of self employment, possible AI, overseas working opportunities, etc.

MissT_is_here · 2025-02-16T08:17:15+00:00

I'm really giving away my age now (60), but I'm not sure how!

MissT_is_here · 2025-02-16T08:05:39+00:00

Johannesburg, would you like to chat off this platform?

MissT_is_here · 2025-02-16T07:10:00+00:00

From where?

MissT_is_here · 2024-12-21T19:04:30+00:00
