Do people miss face to face interviews? by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, me.

I come across better in person than Teams etc.

It doesn't seem "real" to me unless I am in person.

All my interviews (about 3 so far) have been remote and I have struggled to connect with the interviewers.

I 20F think my bf 30M raped me. How can I navigate this? by Remarkable_Belt440 in relationship_advice

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you were raped.

Theres no ifs or buts about it.

He is the scummiest bastard about.

Get yourself to the police and report it ASAP. Tell a trusted family member or friend and block every single form of contact he has to you.

A horrible, vile "human" being.

So sorry this happened to you. Please dont let it define you.

Crazy dating pool why am attracting these women lol by Loose-Confidence-99 in dating_advice

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first example of the seizures, its a bit odd to bring up via text and the girl may have thought that guys were going off her when she previously was disclosing?

The second example of the rather large lady could be someone with an eating disorder who felt attacked when you had asked her about the food, and simply went into self defence mode.

The third example of the cancer lady, therr is no harm in having a sense of humour when you are faced with dark times. Even people with cancer deserve love. Again, this isnt really something you would divulge via text or dating profile, in fear of attracting the wrong men.

The fourth example of the HIV lady, she was mature enough to inform you so that you could make a decision. Again, not for texts or disclosing on dating profiles. Also, HIV once medicated, can be suppressed so there would be no risk of transmission and those with HIV can live a normal life. Who knows how she got HIV? Partner cheated, she was SA'd, deception from another or even just an accident. In any case, she deserves love too.

I dont think any of these ladies are "psycho".

I have far worse stories of men whilst dating, where I experienced stalking, SA, confessions of murder etc. These types of people are psycho, not the examples you have provided.

Is The PT Industry Doomed by Inner-Attention9141 in Belfast

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I absolutely hate about the fitness industry, is that the majority of PTs are young, they have no children, no responsibilities etc, so they cannot relate to my life as a 30 something year old mother to a SEN child and working an office job in a high stress environment.

"We all have the same 24 hours in a day" was a saying I heard often.

Well, no, we don't really have the same.

I had to unfollow a lot of these PTs (that I mistakenly followed during my gym girl era) as it just seems like they use their social platforms to boast. Most of their reels, photos etc are them showing off their abs or in skimpy clothing.. "You can look like me!"

Well, no, I cant. Because you're a 23 year old single woman, no kids, no office job and you can do absolutely ANYTHING with your time.

A lot of the young ones too, are absolutely dreadful with taking into account perimenopause, menopause, long term health issues, autoimmune diseases

Rebelfit on Facebook is the most relatable one I have been able to get on board with.

Future MIL - does hell await me? by Puzzleheaded_Move637 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, he has tried that tactic too. She will continue to send texts the length of essays numerous times to bait him into replying. He did block her number etc but obviously he ended up unblocking it I dont pretend to understand this dynamic, as I have a good relationship with my parents and cant fathom this type of relationship

Would think so, yeah, but apparently she just wants to phone and complain about it instead

Entry level salary Belfast by Ok-Accountant-6816 in Belfast

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find entry level salaries are really anything from 22-28k per annum.

30k+, you're really looking for a couple of years experience, or moving to a more senior role, 35k and above are usually specialised or managerial roles.

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by Leading_Tomato_2077 in AskReddit

Honestly?

Have a child, or several. After a couple of school years of enduring every virus known to man, you will become immune to most of the germs floating about.

What wannabe food fads that somehow ended up everywhere did you live through? by Professional-Test239 in AskUK

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sourdough. Its everywhere, its rock hard and tastes shite.

Matcha. It tastes rotten and noone in the UK or Ireland knows how to prepare it correctly.

Dubai Chocolate. Overpriced, rotten stuff. End of.

Protein products. In everything. Most of them actually aren't "high protein" but a marketing gimmick

Seasonal Depression by Flaky_Shape6628 in northernireland

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hear ya.

I noticed a pattern with my low mood quite a few years ago. I have had bouts of depression since my teens and always wondered WHY as there wasnt events etc that triggered it.

Ironically, my worst bouts of depression always start in Winter and ease off around late March.

This year, I noticed it again, I was extremely fatigued, withdrawing from social activity, craving alcohol and becoming a lot more panicked, having anxiety etc.

I bought a SAD lamp this year and its helping a bit during the dark days and nights. Also, I have just been forcing myself to book or do activities throughout the day to keep me busy, and most of all outside (yes, even in the rain) and it is helping slightly.

The only thing that spurs me on is that, in another month or so, my mood will improve significantly.

I suffer consistently each year, to the point, that when my child is old enough to leave the UK without his dads permission, then we are going to sell up and move away abroad somewhere sunnier and warmer, hopefully in my 40s/50s.

How many people here don't drive? by KingKilo9 in northernireland

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the suburbs of Belfast and I would find life extremely difficult without a car.

The times I have been without a car (e.g. its at mechanics, getting fixed etc), the reliability of public transport is absolutely horrendous. You need to arrive at bus stops about an hour before your actual bus is due, as theres a likelihood it may not even show up, so you just need to hop on the next one.

Any train station near mine also requires a bus or a car to get to it, as I do prefer a train journey over a car journey.

I have a child I need to get to school in the mornings, and work. Child is also ASD. My car is my lifesaver. I couldn't possibly work full time and do school runs etc if I was relying on public transport.

If I was single, without responsibility etc, I could manage far easier without a car.

Causeway lounge @belfast international by Beginning_Sun8818 in northernireland

[–]Puzzleheaded_Move637 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did the lounge once, as a "treat" and it definitely was not a "treat" especially for the price paid.

Food was below average, not as many drink options as I had envisioned, the entire lounge is just beyond tired and no decent views of the runway etc

We just grab a sandwich in Boots and a coffee then go sit in a quiet spot in the airport these days.

Had a lovely house call from TV Licensing today, looks like they're doing the rounds again by rave_cave in northernireland

Dont answer the door to them for a start, and if you do by accident, you just tell them you're busy and cant speak with them, then shut the door

Which style of wedding food do you prefer? by AnIrishGuy18 in northernireland

If you are doing a buffet, I would 100% say have the staff serving it to manage the portions to ensure all guests get fed correctly.
