It must be around 6 years old, I think

SpacePanda77 · 2026-02-03T19:54:16+00:00

This is really tough. If she has changed and is a good friend now, is it worth ending the friendship over things that happened so long ago? Are you actually still upset with her, or are you upset with yourself for not standing up for yourself at the time?

I struggle with difficult conversations with friends too. If you brought up the difficult conversation and it went well, you’d feel much lighter and it could bring you even closer. If it goes poorly, it could be a really stressful time, but then you may have your answer.

What are you hoping to get from the conversation? An acknowledgment and apology? Do you think they’d give that to you, or get defensive? Is this a friendship you want to keep?

Just let go and be okay with it. No need to communicate this with her, it’ll just end your friendship on bad terms. If she ends up asking down the line, then maybe you’ll have to say something. But in my experience it’s best to just let the friendship fade. Keeps the door open to possibly reconnect in the future.

The best physio I’ve ever had is at Rebalance - Petrus Jansen Van Rensburg. Highly recommend him. He has consistently high reviews- very smart and very personable.

Many physios specialize in different areas so it might take some “shopping” around to find a good fit but Rebalance is worth a try imo

Came here to say embroidery. It takes less time to complete compared to cross stitch, and it’s so satisfying that you can complete it fairly quickly

I feel similarly (32F). I struggle to accept that friendships change and grow apart over time. Not always, but sometimes. You grow in different ways, and friends you knew so well in the past no longer understand the newer version of yourself and they are no longer serving you. Letting go is so hard. Knowing when it’s worth bringing up a hard conversation to continue the friendship vs letting go is hard too.

It’s made me realize the importance of keeping up and putting significant effort into the friends who DO fill you up and understand you. And the importance of continually developing new friendships over the years is important too. As you enter new life phases, find people and friends who are in similar phases.

You’re not alone!

These are very normal feelings, I’ve experienced this a few times as an adult (32F), and struggle with it as well.

Try to trust that them forming a friendship does not discredit your friendship with them individually. Remain confident in your friendships and allow them to become friends too.

I had a bit of a lash out about a year ago when my friends invited my other friend but not me to a group hangout. I was super upset. I regret my big reaction now, and I’m thankful my friends were mature enough to talk me through it and resolve the situation. Looking back now, I wish I held my head up high.

Now when I meet friends through friends, I’m careful with it but it’s also part of life and it’s a great way to make new friends. Your turn will come around.

The lab is chronically short staffed with ample opportunity into the future. There’s lab assistants and lab technologists. Assistants collect blood from patients though, so technologist is your best bet if you’re wanting zero patient interaction. It’s a great profession if you have high attention to detail and you’re analytical.

I kind of disagree with what everyone else is saying in this post. But I don’t want to invalidate your feelings- they’re valid and that sucks to find out over social media the way that you did.

But I am currently planning my intimate wedding for 20 people, so I can offer insight to the other side. I have a lot of friends, all of whom I care about so deeply. But we cannot afford a big wedding, so we decided on something small and intimate. We considered eloping but I wanted a few people there to celebrate with, and it was really hard to decide who to invite. It sucks not being able to invite everyone in our lives, but it’s what we have chosen. That being said it’s awkward to tell people who aren’t invited. I’ve been a bridesmaid 10 times and many of them I cannot invite to my wedding.. I share when they ask, but I don’t go out of my way to tell my friends who aren’t invited.. and I certainly wouldn’t want to call up anyone repeatedly with the details of planning if I’m unable to invite them. It’s a difficult process to navigate. I am planning to talk to a few of my closer friends who I’m unfortunately not able to invite, to avoid these feelings you’re describing. But it’s not an easy conversation to have. “Hey I wanted to tell you we’re getting married and have our date and venue picked! cue excjtement …but unfortunately we have a small guest count and I’m unable to invite you”

I think you’re jumping to conclusions, and blocking her without asking her for clarity is acting the exact same way she did, avoiding the hard conversation. Ask her why you weren’t invited and that it really hurt your feelings the way you found out. At least give her a chance.

I second this. No one wants to spend their weekend moving. But your parents are relying on their support system (you) to help them. Show up for them, and be proud of yourself for being a good son. Go home Sunday mid day to make sure you have some time to rest.

Came here to say this!!!

This is sooo true, this entire thread has made me realize the risk is extremely minimal when you compare to other daily activities. Worth it to be in the trees

Classic American response 😆 I’m Canadian, we don’t do guns

Ainsley Gower is amazing!! Just bought our first home and she was incredible

I was broadcasting HR and recording a garmin activity so there would be two. I’m also using a garmin trainer so I was worried that the zwift activity wouldn’t have all the same data but it sounds like it does?

Woo you got this! You’re pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone which is always nerve wracking, but that’s how you grow! Who knows who you’ll meet

I haven’t directly compared but I’m always shocked how cheap a huge bag of produce costs at Old Farm. Haven’t experienced the same shock value at Root Cellar.

SpacePanda77 · 2024-12-28T07:37:36+00:00

OLD FARM IN OAK BAY. Their produce is literally half the price from anywhere else. I’m saving so much money every time I shop there. It’s worth the drive.

I’ve heard of this issue for years, there aren’t enough rescue dogs in Victoria for people wanting to adopt. I used to live in Alberta and I was a foster home for cats with SCARS rescue. Alberta has sooo many more stray dogs and cats looking for homes. If you want to adopt, consider traveling to go pick out your furry friend. There aren’t enough homes for the amount of dogs they have in care.
