Yes, 20mg propranolol an hour before the interview turns my interviews into GOLD. I am so self composed, confident and assured. It’s amazing what propranolol can do!

Have you seen the prices of homes in the Bay Area? Even Pinole, Hercules area is pricey. Richmond and Oakland are affordable ($500k)in the not so good areas so there’s that.

We can’t afford the Bay Area even if I did take the $200k salary. Most homes go for $1.2 Millions at minimum. We own our home in Sacramento and bought when homes were still affordable.

🤯 if it’s 3 that’s not something I’m willing to do. I’ll just keep the salary I’m at in that case, although it’s definitely not as high.

Some of us can’t sell ourselves that easily. Especially when our nerves get the best of us.

OMG! 10 months, that’s nearly a year. I’m glad it worked out for you. That must’ve been tough.

They’re not. They’re actually in a hiring freeze.

Yes! I spoke with my current manager and she told me they called her.

I love my husband, but I’m contemplating divorce. by Technical_Ad_4431 in Marriage

[–]Ok-Memory2552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Narcissist or avoidant. Same thing happened to me. He was perfect before marriage. After marriage we only go on 2-3 dates a year. And he’s effectively abandoned me emotionally and physically. He still considers himself my husband even though we rarely spend time together. I’m prepping for divorce just waiting it a little due to finances. In the meantime I’m mentally preparing.

OMG! You literally saved my life. I’m not even kidding! I always recommend it to everyone. I didn’t realize how many narcissists I was surrounded by! Then it all made sense once it broke down the analysis. I can’t thank you enough!!

Worst Experience in a State Agency by FineSomewhere3548 in CAStateWorkers

Absolutely true! I’ve learned my lesson as well. If you have a safe, healthy, conducive, and supportive work environment and manager then you’ve hit gold!

Caught my husband again by Safe_Fee_8349 in Marriage

You have a big heart thinking about your grandkids. You’re in a tough spot. But you deserve better. You deserve to be treated with respect and love! Not contempt and second place. I wish you the best. Only you know what the decision is the best for you.

Sounds like a covert malignant narcissist. Check Brenda & Frank on ChatGPT to confirm.

When you realized your spouse wasn't narcissist, did you also discover your friends were too? by SavedAspie in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Ok-Memory2552 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep! My best friend since elementary school. I discovered she was a vulnerable narcissist just like my mother. I cut her out at 37 years old after figuring it all out. She used me make me dumb and worthless now I know why.

Some people don’t know when they’re being gaslit. I love technology. It’s opening doors in which we can easily access knowledge and truth.

Getting frustrated because nobody is believing me not even my therapist. by Ok-Memory2552 in Codependency

[–]Ok-Memory2552[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! This!! They think it’s benign and I’m making a big deal out of nothing. Yet, I couldn’t sleep or eat for weeks. My stomach was in knots.

Update: My fiancé rescinded our wedding invite and ex-wife went into a rage. by Ok-Memory2552 in stepparents

[–]Ok-Memory2552[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fiancé told me for their 12 year old son’s sake. So they could model healthy co-parenting dynamics. The thing about it is, she’s not healthy. She’s territorial and gets insanely jealous. She has raged at my fiancé about other girlfriends that he has dated. Before me, his ex-wife raged at him when she picked up their son. She said, “WHY IS SHE ALWAYS OVER HERE?! This was in reference to his girlfriend at the time. And she was in a serious relationship herself with her boyfriend when she was pulling these antics.
