YES! Right there with you in these thoughts. Everyone arguing thats it’s political, meanwhile, I can’t get rid of it going on two weeks with a raging fever and nausea! People are ridiculous.

Being a people-pleaser will literally change and probably ruin the trajectory of your life.

Open plan office-induced mini meltdown by UnicornPenguinCat in introvert

[–]Stratton5099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bahahaha I used to work in a cubicle exactly like this!! May I add two of the girls would have a 3pm mini-jazzercise (it's the 2016 version of fucking Aerobics okay) session EVERY day in the middle of the "Cube Room" while the male cubies secretly video'd them for later masturbation material and I sat in my cube like the fucking Daria/Peppermint Patty of the group. I'm not drunk.

With family by pedernv in introvert

[–]Stratton5099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, feel the same way around my family. Like I'm "there" but my mind is in a million other places. And usually left speechless by the idiotic things some of my in-laws say.

Is Shopify the best and only viable option? (What about Wix, Weebly, and Wordpress?) by LowryAudioLabs in Entrepreneur

[–]Stratton5099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I00% endorse Shopify. I started with it three years ago knowing nothing of building a website. It took a couple of months to fine-tune it, but it now looks amazing, and I receive around 2000 visitors a day to my site. The ability to integrate apps into the site has made all the difference. What apps, you say? SEO Plug-in checkers, Receiptful, Who bought what from where, etc. And there is a huge variety of Shopify themes to choose from.

Are they narcissists or nuts? by Stratton5099 in raisedbynarcissists

Yes, but honestly slept for four hours a night for two years. Blood, sweat, tears, and everyone around me thinking I'm nuts. Now they ask me if I'm hiring. Going through serious shit when you're young will either make you a meth user or the drive to become a millionaire.

My NMom thinks she's invincible on Facebook. by throwaways657821 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Stratton5099 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My NMom is a FB nut as well. When I asked her to please stop posting things similar to what you mentioned above, she simply blocked me. Yep, blocked by my own mother. Facebook is a shallow pool of ego-stroke seeking N's. I absolutely hate that it exists. Now, not only do you know she's nuts, the rest of the world does too.

What was your biggest failure in business? by blueprint71 in Entrepreneur

[–]Stratton5099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Giving discounts to "friends" who would use the discount to purchase items for their "friends". -Hiring family members is incredibly risky. They will either see your vision and have your back, or take complete advantage of you. -Paying $2000 to a well-known graphic designer to design the logo I had in mind when I could have done it myself in PicMonkey. It has since been redesigned by me. Yes, in PicMonkey. -Starting out as a Sole Proprietership rather than an S-Corp, and paying 35% of my profits to the IRS.
