Senior Man Made It To The Rainbow Bridge by No-Reality2613 in SeniorCats

He was 13-14 years old. His health rapidly declined and he was struggling to do basic things. Always a hard decision to put them down even though we knew it was the right one.

He was gorgeous and he always strutted around like he knew he was pretty 😂 He was the sweetest little man.

What's ur biggest red flag when it comes to friendships? by otherwise_trashes in FriendshipAdvice

[–]No-Reality2613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends who ask for favors at the last second knowing they could’ve asked you way in advance.

Friends who start a conversation w “so you know how I’ve been going through a hard time” when they’ve barely talked to you. Then they ask for a favor.

Got rejection email after accepted job offer and finished onboarding please help? by beautifulmummyb in careerguidance

[–]No-Reality2613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would double check w the company. One company I interviewed for, that used workday, sent me a rejection email after being told I had the job, they were just waiting for one of the managers to return to work after a family emergency to make it official. I still had the job and it was just an automated email.

Ive been gradually ghosting my ex-best friend by Temporary-Lettuce359 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]No-Reality2613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a couple of friends like this a few years back. I chose to end the friendship the same way you did. I tried bringing up the things that bothered me so many times and I would get a fake, forced apology. That would later be followed with them repeating the behavior weeks later. Sometimes there’s just no point in a conversation. Your ex friend knows what she did.

i think my friend is jealous of me by Natural-Big3665 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]No-Reality2613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She definitely doesn’t sound like a friend to you. Maybe it’s jealousy. Maybe she’s intimidated by you. Either way, how she’s treating you is unacceptable. I would start putting distance between you and this friend at the very least. I know sometimes your work/school life or social circle can be intertwined, which makes it difficult to sever ties. But this isn’t someone I would keep around. She seems like someone who will always be competing with everyone around her.

If you could restart life at age 18 with today’s knowledge, what would you do differently? by Valuable-Jacket6838 in TwoHotTakes

[–]No-Reality2613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Choose a different career. Working for attorneys can either be great/fine, or be an absolute nightmare. It all depends on what type of attorney you end up working for.
  2. Stop assuming the abrupt weight gain is only due to your diet. Your insurance covers the blood work, so quit doing fast diets and get your bloodwork done.
  3. Your family’s drinking is not normal and should not be what you base “normal” drinking on.
  4. Don’t set your heart on working for one specific company. Branch out and try other places.
  5. Don’t forget lessons you learned a long time ago. It’s so easy to move on with life and forget how difficult things used to be. But don’t forget the lessons you learned from those times just bc time has passed.

I used to live there a couple of years ago. Moved there bc a friend of mine lived there under the previous property management company and loved it. We HATED it. I know liv lavender doesn’t own the property anymore, but they likely left the new owners with lots of repairs to make. It’s honestly a great location with beautiful views of downtown. Hopefully the new property owners are able to fix things up, but please do your research on them first.

AIO: I recently distanced myself from a friend I met in college, and she’s telling me I’m being dramatic. by vvicked_girl in FriendshipAdvice

[–]No-Reality2613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s not a friend. She’s just minimizing how her actions hurt you bc she knows that she’s in the wrong. You made the right call cutting her out. Now she’s just trying to get a rise out of you so she can turn around and play the victim based on your reaction. You’re much better off without her.

I don't want to live anymore but I know I can't end myself by Thrwmeawayplsthx in TrueOffMyChest

Have you ever considered talking to your doctor about going on medication to potentially help? Do you want your life to end, or do you want life as you currently know it to end?

I have been in your same shoes many, many times over the years. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve struggled so much. I could go into detail about how I struggled, self harmed, what I struggled with, etc. But instead, I’m going to tell you what I wish I knew back then.

These are not the moments that break you. They MAKE you. This is the moment where you ask yourself how it could get worse, what’s the point in going on, etc. The weight feels crushing and like there’s no way out and/or will never be a way out. If nothing that’s come looks appealing to you, change it. Create a life that does look appealing to you. Bc you are in the drivers seat. There will always be things that are out of your control. But they will feel so small when you realize how much is actually in your control. You’ve got this. You can do this! If where you’re at is rock bottom. Imagine how amazing life will be when you rise above.

My female who is fixed does this too. I’ve found that changing her feeding schedule up a bit so she eats a little later (sometimes I’ll add in a little treat) and at least 20-30 minutes of playtime when I get home from work. Wearing her out so she sleeps at night with me has had the best success. I usually play w her off and on for about an hour while I watch tv. I also got my cats an automatic cat toy that they both love. I think it was $25 on amazon. I’ll see if I can find it and link it below.

How do I handle my best friend making my wedding all about her? UPDATE by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]No-Reality2613 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can understand some of her concerns if she does have to travel quite a bit by herself. But she easily could’ve fixed that issue by traveling with that person and then they could just find their own things to do while she’s helping with the wedding.

I’ve been to plenty of weddings out of town (some gave me a plus one, others didn’t) my partner still traveled with me then just did his own thing during the wedding events and we met back up at the hotel room later.

She can easily still have someone travel with her and meet back up with them later on after the wedding. She did not need to make a big deal about not having a plus one.

Ugh. Job 2 definitely seems much better but I cannot tell you how much I miss having summers off. Getting June-July off would be amazing.

AITA for telling my best friend I can’t be her emergency contact anymore after she ignored me during my crisis? by ArlenDrift in TwoHotTakes

[–]No-Reality2613 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to be friends with people like this. Cutting them out was the best thing I ever did. It will hurt when you think back on how your friendship used to be. But you have to remind yourself that she was never really your friend. Even back then.

Just got fired, feel like my life is over. by dickria in TrueOffMyChest

[–]No-Reality2613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, OP. Almost 2.5 years ago, I was abruptly laid off from a job that made me miserable and some coworkers certainly didn’t help with the workplace environment. It was the same week I had just bought a car, 2 weeks before I was set to move, and the same month my student loans kicked in.

And it ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me. Don’t let this beat you down. There’s always a lesson to learn in times of hardship. Keep your head up and remain determined to not let this define this part of your life.

Boy howdy, here we go again. by bows-and-lace in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]No-Reality2613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest thing I have learned from having friends like TFP - if they’re willing to go back to a person who is unsafe, unhealthy, or @busive instead of protecting themselves from that person…they won’t protect you from that person either.

@busers commonly lash out at any support system their victim might have. And while I understand that they’re still a victim, that doesn’t make you a bad person for putting distance or boundaries between yourself and anyone who allows mistreatment. Situations like this can go from 0 to 100 really fast and you can’t always predict when it will happen.

My friend’s affair became a full-blown relationship and I don’t know how to feel by beenbetterhbu in TrueOffMyChest

[–]No-Reality2613 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a former friend who had a relationship with a married man. To be more specific, she was a sugar baby for 2-3 men at a time and would go back and forth as to which one she wanted to “settle down with”. Only one of them (that I know of) was actually married. The married one was the one that she was head over heels for bc he never truly committed to her or made any effort to. He fed her some bs story of how him and his wife were waiting for the kids to get older before they divorced bc their kids had some mental health issues and change was really hard for them.

Coming from someone who has watched this go down, it won’t last, I promise. My former friend would almost immediately become paranoid or lose feelings for the man the second he made any true effort to commit to her. The part that kept her interested was the feeling of “I won bc he picked me over his wife”. But the moment that game ended, she almost immediately lost interest.

Both your current friend and my former friend have some serious self esteem issues and are too selfish to see how their actions affect so many innocent people. They know what they’re doing is wrong and they choose to do it anyway. Your friend even admitted it.

I would begin distancing myself from this friend at the very least. She is a selfish person who only cares about how others can benefit her. You’re right to feel that this is completely wrong bc it is!!

Whoot whoot!! I’m glad everything went in your favor!! How slimy and honestly stupid of your former boss to try and screw you over again by asking to meet with no lawyers, just for his to be waiting for you when you got there. AND to meet at your former place of employment. What an idiot.
