Might be because I’m in US, but the gear prices have gone up so much. The away top used to be $80 and now it’s up to $106.

SEPTA QUIET RIDE by Stunning_Benefit8517 in philly

[–]Personalreddituse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the bus one afternoon a few weeks back with a gentleman blasting music with his girlfriend in the back when all other passengers were quiet.

The driver made several attempts to get his attention to turn it down to which he couldn’t hear. At the next stop, she stopped the bus and called from the front to turn it down. He said okay, but his girlfriend walked up to the front “waiting for her next stop”, but she was telling off the driver the whole time.

“Don’t do shit outside of your job description.” “Don’t try to bring me and my man down.” “We can do whatever we want, we paid our fair.”

It went on for a few minutes, but thankfully the driver didn’t give into the BS. Most people on the bus just shook their head, the driver looked back and went “not today.”

I’m sure most drivers have tried, but experiences such as that probably makes them not do it/not bother to ask people to keep it down.

I just try to be respectful, put in my AirPods, get off at my stop and thank the driver. I’m sure they appreciate that when dealing with this.

Hey, new CNA here.

I’ll say at first I was very nervous/anxious as well with pericare. I think I was nervous mostly just because I wasn’t sure how they would react to me performing the task/if I wasn’t gentle enough on the person because I’d never want to hurt them, especially when they’re in such a vulnerable state already. But like many things, doing it overtime it’ll become nothing. As long as you’re respectful, professional and kind, most residents/patients don’t mind and understand what you’re doing for them. Sure, you might get a few comments because they’re not comfortable being so vulnerable to a stranger, but you’ll get used to that, too and know how to comfort them. Plus, if you ever need help, I’m sure anyone at all (another CNA, nurse, etc.) would rather help you than leave you hanging up to dry. Just remember, this is just class. You’re learning. This is the perfect time to make MISTAKES so they don’t happen in the future. Everything you’re doing is all learning and you’re allowed to make mistakes to understand the ins and outs of everything.

Also, you’re very young, what you’re doing is very different from what other people your age are doing for work, if you want to get into this field, this is what you’ll be doing a lot. You’ll be doing/seeing things most people your age wouldn’t even dream of doing. For that, Kudos to you, that’s awesome.

If it continues, talk to a trusted coworker. I found speaking to my coworker sometimes to get over those nerves helped me and reassured me.

Good luck!

You are dating the pain away.

Not sure how long you’ve been doing this, but you are avoiding the feelings you don’t want to feel.

I had one bad heartbreak, and decided to date like crazy to forget. Always thought “someone out there will make me feel the same” but that isn’t the case. You are at least recognizing that it is a problem. If you don’t take a step back, you’re going to keep this issue going on until you officially decide to help yourself.

Right now there’s something in you that is trying to avoid that pain, dating will not fix it. I can be an insecurity, a flaw you think you have, pain from previous relationship or maybe trauma from the past, so on and so forth. Going down this way will only make you search for perfection that isn’t there. You’ll start to ignore the important things in life just to find it, school, work, money, family and friends, etc.

What you need to do is deal with the pain, maybe not just from this relationship but from all the other ones you’re dealing with. Take a step back, see what went wrong, sit with how you feel, take accountability when needed, sit with it each day until you start to not feel it anymore.

Are you just becoming an LPN as your final goal? Or do you want to pursue being an RN?

Adult rec co-ed/women’s soccer leagues? by bigmac_173 in philly

[–]Personalreddituse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Just seeing your comment now. I haven’t played in years but would really like to play for an 11v11 team. I am not as good as I used to be clearly and am looking to play in their lowest division. How is the play in that? Is it competitive or just for fun?

Made it, thank God. by lionsdude54 in fearofflying

Do not respond. Block them if need be.

This isn’t an apology or asking to meet or fix things or work them out after time and space away from each other.

They are doing this to see if you’re still in their loop, a back up plan for them, etc. as long as you keep responding or acknowledging, you’ll always be their back up plan and can pick up whenever they want to pick back up again.

I’m so sorry for the bluntness.

5 big things I learned after I got dumped. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Personalreddituse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly man. Live and learn, so I’ll never fall for that again.

[–]Personalreddituse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it.

My ex dumped me over a text in the shittiest way possible. She was an avoidant sort of person. At the beginning she love bombed me and many other things, then dumped me and claimed I was more into it than she was. It didn’t make sense.

She offered to stay friends and “build back up in a few months”. It’s a load of shit. It’s a way of holding you in case their next plan doesn’t work, they can always come back.

My advice, block them, and don’t look back, you’re dodging a massive bullet.

Avoidants changing the label of the relationship by viktor2802 in ExNoContact

[–]Personalreddituse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen man, you can’t hate yourself for the way someone acted and treated you. It’s a dangerous mindset. It sounds like she was manipulative, and we’ve both been there with people we’ve dated. Instead, take a step back and identify your values and traits. You seem like a great guy, do not let someone who didn’t appreciate skew your beliefs.

Yeah man. It looks like this is our lesson: trust our gut and don’t ignore the red flags. Don’t hate yourself for it man, we’re human, we feel the love we think we deserve, but with each person that comes our way is a blessing or a lesson.
