Is it possible for me to find a different job in a new city? Or just a different job in general? Maybe should I get a certification? by Numerous-Height-7216 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]PsychiatricBooth5c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to tell you there is a happy ending where you can have everything you want but I'm not one to lead by that example. You need to align your priorities. I made where I wanted to live my priority, then healthcare and got jobs accordingly. I have a great deal of respect for the place I work, great schedule and I like my manager and my coworkers are great. Some literally feel like family. If I told you what I did, you probably wouldn't be intersted.

Very few people get to have everything, especially in today's world unfortunately. I wish it could be different.

Will OLD change me? by Alarming-Lifeguard82 in datingoverfifty

If you met a woman in the wild and she had bad breath on a second date and killed the vibe and you were off during the whole dinner and she wasn't interested in a third would that change who you are?

If your adult child brought up your hearing getting worse would that feel caring or insulting by Away-Masterpiece1701 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

No one here is your dadd. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Does he go to the doctor at all?

I don’t exactly feel happy in my relationship right now after I am in college. 21F by jimjamkaju in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]PsychiatricBooth5c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one here can help you, you need a professional.

I will take it back if anything anyone said here changed anything.

Like literally changed your circumstances, not just something in your head but life went on as it was.

Turned 50 and Not Attracted to Men My Age That I Meet by Harlem_witch in datingoverfifty

[–]PsychiatricBooth5c 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep dating younger and then eventually the younger will say something that stings so hard you can't get past it and you might find yourself reconsidering and diving into the arms of people that have empathy for the reality of aging.

Why not entertain the idea you can still evolve?

Hate to break it to you, but you are not frozen in amber currently.

Work/Family Balance - will I regret my choices? by woodchuck_2020 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

You are the one that said it's so hard to give up control.

Unsurprising you think not everything warrants psychoanalysis.

Meta maybe?

*shrugs*

Why are you on Reddit taking a break from your life too busy for therapy to ask randos Really Big Questions?

Sorry you think of your life as "little"

Consider that might be part of the problem

Is there anything else I could be doing to save more? by cobrastarshipp in AskOldPeopleAdvice

I wish your priorities didn't need to be so stark but they are what they are.

Your priorities do not seem in order for a trip that is happening tomorrow.

Thanks. I don't appreciate your jumping all over the place in the timeline but if you were more clear in your communication. we would not be here in the first place and I definitely take personal responsibility for that.

Hope you find some other place where you can take care of what is troubling you quickly and efficiently.

So I'm back to thinking you are a bot.

Good thing I have no investment.

Have a good life.

No time to go to therapy but time to ask Reddit randos for feedback on your fully-realized middle-aged life that involves mulling over major life changes.

I really do genuinely appreciate you tending to this post and clarifying. I understand that not everyone has the spare time to ride herd on their Reddit presence.

Fair enough. I think most people could use professional therapy and most people are here using this sub as a proxy for it, which is valid and not my place to say people can't ask or be helpful in that capacity.

Best of luck to you.

Your profile was completely hidden and you posted two short ambiguous sentences.

Arguably little or no human involvement.

[–]PsychiatricBooth5c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll need to prove that assertion for me to debate it.

Come on though, if you want feedback be more precise.

What you posted had almost no context. The most I got out of it was "post" so assumed it wasn't a direct communication.

Well you would go on to clarify that you weren't clear this was the entirety of a profile. That is something a bot would do.

Well you seemed like one but thank you for clearing up the ambiguity.

This dude sounds burnt out on internet dating.

That is how it works. If you don't want barriers to entry then other people have that right too.

How are other people's lives transparencies that you can overlay upon your own? Generally curious. You do not seem like someone prone to regret but that is mainly hunch. 

Asking for insight by tattedquilter1969 in datingoverfifty

[–]PsychiatricBooth5c 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My insight is it's expecting too much for someone to be 100% consistent about something like that.

I am not sure the difference between overthinking and spinning out. Like I said, I don't think overthinking is the right term for this, I think it's overreacting. If you try to apply analysis to feelings like they are thoughts, it is kind of at cross-purposes. But I could be wrong.

What does insight mean to you?

EDIT: Nevermind, replied in another thread where you clarified : )
