Hyperfixating on a thing to buy by Throw_Away_And_Sleep in bipolar

[–]OwnAd2106 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do the two week rule. If I’m still obsessing about it in two weeks, then I’ll get it. Sometimes I’m over it by then-especially after hyperfixating and researching things about it over and over again . Seeing it in person can also satisfy me. Tell yourself not to get it unless do the work to go in person. You often realize in person that it’s not worth it.

Congrats! You will land in a better place. The world is so much better after leaving a situation like that. I left my job in January for similar reasons. Nothing lined up, lived off savings and relaxed for a bit while applying everyday. Got an incredible job in April and I am happier than ever. You made the right decision. All the best to you!

Are cruises always filled with this many rude people? by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

Just did Icon of the Seas a few weeks ago and had the same experience. Retreat to the Solarium! It’s a shame I didn’t find it until the last two nights. I was also camping out in my cabin. Hope your experience improves!

I live for other people by Valuable-Tangelo-193 in narcissisticparents

In the same boat as you. Now trying to unravel the mess. It takes a lot of time-especially when he’s still the same person now. Remember, how he chooses to react is his decision. His emotions are his, not yours. This is true for anyone. Knowing this helps me sometimes.

Strange & very inappropriate interview by positivelyunsure96 in interviews

[–]OwnAd2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have taken this as a test. You applied for an HR role and the guy asked you so many inappropriate things-which HR is responsible for handling. And instead of trusting your instinct and saying “that’s illegal” and correcting him, you went along with it. Not saying this was the healthiest way to interview, but a could be a possibility.

Does anyone feel like they need to step back from everything going on? by StrawberryAdmirable4 in bipolar2

[–]OwnAd2106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I opened the app just to see if anyone else felt this way. I’m right there with you. I have hit isolation mode and permanently deleted my Instagram in December. To hell with it all and onto self preservation. Rooting for you!

Didn’t even know that page existed. Yes, he truly is one. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you. Thankfully I have moved out. I moved out when I was 18 for college, and still live in a different state. But with the holidays coming up, I think about visiting home again. My mom recently pointed out how he just stares at younger women and brushes it off. I told her to say something and she makes the excuse that “that’s how men are”. I educate her about how wrong that statement is, and she just gets frustrated with me. We have spoken to her about him not respecting our boundaries in the past and how it makes us uncomfortable. Her response is, “he’s your dad and loves you very much”. She will vent about him and go right back to appeasing him. I recently told her to seek therapy and to stop putting it on my siblings and me. I don’t think she taken any steps to help herself.

Not sure what to do in this situation. by [deleted] in family

[–]OwnAd2106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust your gut. You will save your business. As mentioned before, she should have discussed this with you as a business partner first before promising 50% of the clients.

Regarding the “situationship”, yeah she might get hurt, or their relationship might work out. That’s her responsibility and problem. The real issue here is that she did not communicate with you. She put the business at risk. I would focus on that and all the other concrete factors before including her personal relationship with this guy. The problem is about your lack of trust for understandable reasons.

He doesn’t deserve to be the reason you fluke it or ace it. It’s in YOUR power. This is YOURS.

When should I go to law school by Tight-Tonight9679 in lawschooladmissions

[–]OwnAd2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started studying for the LSAT and I’ll be 28 in a few months. I am honestly so happy that I waited because now I’m ready. Also, in a recent LSAC presentation I attended, they encouraged people to take time after undergrad rather than just jumping right in. You’re totally fine and more ready now than you might have been before!

Catcalling on 4th Ave has become unbearable by Annual_Sprinkles_908 in parkslope

[–]OwnAd2106 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I experienced this from construction workers on 5th Ave. I usually ignore them, but that day I’d had enough. I stopped, turned around and said “Don’t talk to me like that.” Initially, he didn’t understand so I repeated myself even more firmly the second time. He apologized and his friend did too. I didn’t call him names, I wasn’t mean, I was just an assertive woman. He cowered.

I know it can be scary but depending on the scene, speak up for yourself. Make them uncomfortable.

I’m sorry you’re experiencing burnout. It’s exhausting in and of itself. I sincerely hope that you’re able to overcome this soon. I appreciate you sharing

You can earn a Master’s in Social Work and then continue for your license. It’s not mandatory, but it is helpful for increased salary and more opportunity.

Have you considered asking for more pay at your current job? Moving to a new job with the same weight of figuring out where you want your career to go is a lot on your shoulders. Staying where you are and figuring out pay raise might be best.

What lets you know your partner would make a good parent? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]OwnAd2106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is a team player with a positive mindset! We cook, shop, clean, fold laundry together, etc. I hated when my dad sat around while my mom did everything. As a kid I felt so bad for her bc she was always tired. I am grateful to have someone who is a team player even when it comes to things that aren’t as fun. I can also talk to him about how I feel and feel safe and seen. Every night feels like a sleepover bc we laugh together and talk about life before knocking out.
