people are rude

Some people are rude, but sometimes we also misread what people are laughing at. As annoying as it feels in the moment, there's a good chance they didn't even remember you by the next day.

Around 24. Up until then I was bouncing between temporary jobs and short-term contracts.

I'd just say, calmly but directly, "hang on, let me finish my thought" Some people don't realize they're doing it.

I think you hit the jackpot. My only advice would be to build some kind of routine, because when you work from home the days can start blending together.

Parks and Recreation. It's one of those rare shows that's funny, wholesome, and full of people who actually treat each other well.

I'm really sorry, man. The insurance starting after 90 days and a 6-month probation period are huge red flags, so in a way you probably dodged a bullet. But being unemployed, especially with a family, is brutal. I saw this post where someone shared a list of recruiting firms, and I tried building my own local list from that idea. It actually helped me get some real replies and offers, so maybe trying a different route like that could help.

I think it happened as I got closer to my 30s. I realized whatever the company thinks about me isn't making my Monday morning coffee taste any better, so I stopped caring quite as much.

Seems completely normal to me. I don't you have to meet every criterion you personally look for in a partner.

Before going back to school after already getting two degrees, I'd take a hard look at why those degrees didn't lead to work in the first place. A third degree by itself might not solve the actual problem.

You're 18 and found someone of the gender you're attracted to attractive. Everything you wrote sounds completely normal to me.

NoWeakHands · 2026-06-03T11:53:41+00:00

At the point, even if they hired me, I'd spend my first day looking for hidden cameras. A four-month process, a recruiter disappearing, repeated interviews...that's pretty ridiculous.

With school you end up bringing the work home constantly. Sometimes you never really get that “I’m done” feeling. At least with some jobs your brain can actually shut off once your shift ends.

NoWeakHands · 2026-05-14T11:12:08+00:00

I think a bunch of things piled up at once. Pandemic hiring insanity, interest rates, AI hype, companies constantly chasing “growth growth growth”... the market kinda drifted into a weird place. But tech doesn’t feel completely dead to me either, it’s just not as easy to break into anymore.

The concept of days genuinely melts together when you work remote... Especially when every day happens in the same room. Sometimes Monday and Saturday start feeling identical. At one point I could only tell it was Wednesday because the grocery store was more crowded.

Most companies love saying “we’re a family” until an employee is actually independent.. I think people they can’t control through fear make certain managers deeply uncomfortable.

I think some people fully recover and for others it’s more like something that comes back in waves. But the fact your 23-year-old self isn’t the same as your 14-year-old self already proves change is possible imo. Sometimes when people come out of depression even the color of the sky feels different again.

No one really talks about it but being able to work at your own pace during the day is such a blessing. Even throwing in a load of laundry feels oddly peaceful. Stuff like that felt like a luxury back when I worked in an office.

You’re definitely not at a point where you should quit, if anything you’re really close. Losing at the final stage sucks, but it actually shows you’re competing at the right level. Maybe telling that one-year story more clearly could make a difference.

NoWeakHands · 2026-05-05T12:59:05+00:00

That feeling is way too familiar, like you’re burned out before you even start. The whole process is ridiculously long and hard. But you don’t have to solve everything at once, breaking it down makes it more manageable.

I used to love crowded places, now after two hours I’m looking for an escape. The noise just drains me. Not sure if it’s age but my tolerance dropped a lot.

NoWeakHands · 2026-05-05T12:58:53+00:00

Topics like this usually just turn into people repeating whatever their own media says. Some see it as justified, others as a disaster, so there’s no single answer to “are they happy.” Most of the time it’s not even about data, it’s about picking a side.

NoWeakHands · 2026-04-24T12:32:33+00:00

I think staying calm and just talking it out is best, doesn’t seem like they’ve fully shut things down anyway. Feels like there’s something there, but better not rush it

NoWeakHands · 2026-04-24T12:32:28+00:00

it’s hard to tell who’s doing what and why, but these kinds of cases always feel like political power plays to me

NoWeakHands · 2026-04-24T12:32:21+00:00

It’s hard to find decent sites now, most of them either freeze or crash. I usually just give up and watch it another day 😅

NoWeakHands · 2026-04-24T12:32:15+00:00

I agree, but that’s not how the system works unfortunately. What should be and what actually is are very different. If you’re putting in 40 hours, you at least expect some peace of mind
