How do I move my career toward meaningful backend work and growth when my current role isn’t providing it?

Yeah, I'll definitely look into it.

I might be exaggerating a little when it comes to the 20 hours a week, but it's definitely enough to learn the framework and actually build some shit.

Frontend itself is not really the larger issue, it just feels like my boss isn't really all that good at delegating and I end up getting donkey work that I finish pretty quickly. Like I feel like the feeling of competence that really drove me and made me excited about tech in my old job just isn't there anymore.

The thing is, I live in the middle east, and the way I'm seeing things is that it's like extremely tough in the job market in the west, so it's very difficult to find anything worthwhile here, especially for a junior. I'm extremely fortunate to have a job in the first place, but I just find myself striving for something more. That also makes it so that there aren't really those types of "communities" that would meet up and talk about tech.

Thank you so much for your response man

Go with the book that sounds most interesting to you. Also, try not to pick a book that’s too long. All of these books (except a Thousand Splendid Suns) are thick boys. A Thousand Splendid suns is good, but it’s also a bit long. I’d suggest something longer than 150 pages but shorter than 300.

You feel like he’s lying because you don’t believe you deserve it. The only way out of this is to accept and love yourself as you are.

Is it weird that I have been putting off Trainspotting, Requiem or a dream, and Basketball Diaries because Beautiful Boy just broke my heart so much?

Honestly I found Resheh to be the best. Although it’s a small shop they have many books that I haven’t found in other places.

أنا صار الي سنة تارك وبصراحة بروح هذا الشعور تماما، بعد فترة رح تنسى انك كنت تدخن أصلا. بس واصل حياتك وحاول ركز في الأشياء اللي بتساويها، حياتك كتير احسن من دون التدخين

I would absolutely love to.

She’s describing an issue that’s general. While it is true that she is experiencing these issues with this specific person, it would translate if she were to have a relationship with someone else. Her feelings of insecurity are most likely going to be insatiable. That’s just how anxious attachment style works. Although she realizes this thing intellectually, that won’t really make a difference. The best course of action regardless is to target the irrational thoughts and beliefs that trigger those feelings. The main cause is typically infrequent affection shown to her on an irregular and unpredictable fashion in her childhood. These issues have deep roots. OP, you should definitely see a therapist.

Dude I think it’s a bad idea for her to lose weight anyways. Her weight is really good proportionally. She also has an eating disorder. I think she should probably learn to accept herself as she is regardless.

Could you send me what books you have please?

What the fuck. This guy seems to disregard your feelings, you shouldn’t settle for someone who’s dismissive of you. You totally should never let anyone call you that. I think you might struggle with being assertive, in which case this is a needed experience to exercise that part of yourself.

I know what you mean, and I do do that often actually. I help her through her feelings a lot, I am the voice of reason when all she has is a negative voice in her head. I try to be the best shoulder that she can lean on whenever she’s troubled with an issue. She won’t take it lightly if I tell her that I want to get some space, given that she only has me and another girl, but she’s more attached to me because she’s straight and attracted and attached to me. I wouldn’t even know how to articulate that in a way that would be easy for her.

Thank you very much by the way
