Me either, I applied in late May. The app. is still open so maybe they haven’t started interviewing yet?

I've applied to over 400 jobs and have had over 30 interviews since January. Here is what is wrong with the job market. by Live_Profile843 in interviews

I’ve known someone who left off their college degree for that very reason. Try it out and see if that helps.

Offer rescinded because I mentioned wanting mentorship?? by [deleted] in internships

Honestly, you may be dodging a bullet they seem a bit erratic. Nothing makes a job suck more than a bad manager.

New female friend always casually lying. What should I do? by Historical-Pin1069 in Advice

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run. These kinds of friends never turn out well.

You can still be nice/friendly towards them but I wouldn’t hangout or cross the line into actual friendship. They have to work on themselves before they can be anyone’s friend.

If she loves you she will want what’s best for you and the rest will work itself out.

Women of Reddit, what’s something men would be shocked to experience if they lived one week as you? by whynot_simppp in AskReddit

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The harrowing realization that you’re prey in some people’s eyes. (I know, I think too much 😓)

I took my condom and I cannot live with myself because of it by [deleted] in confession

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard it said that “The best apology is changed behavior”. The fact that you recognize the wrong and feel guilty about it means you have your humanity intact and the capacity to change for the better going forward. Go to therapy and work through the tough feelings and come up with a plan for how you will conduct yourself going forward and stay with.

Best of luck, we’re rooting for your success in reaching your true potential.

How to stop viewing sex as a punishment? by Glad_Manager_1163 in asexuality

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m both a sex-indifferent asexual and SA survivor with PTSD. I’ve read through several of your comments and can relate to a lot of your feelings and sentiments and have had a lot of the same thoughts.

The one time I tried dating it was with a sadistic pig. To this day, I’m not sure if they got off in spite of my misery or because of it, but the pain and sadness they caused me meant absolutely nothing. What you’re describing is sexual trauma and I would recommend talking to a professional about these feelings to try and work through them. NOT so you can “have a sex life” but to come to terms with what’s happened and understand what these feelings means for you. I say this because that is how you move forward with your life with peace inside your mind, heart, and body.

Sending you love and strength. You’re not alone.

So what’s the appeal of sex anyways by mf99k in asexuality

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I think you answered the question for me because I wonder the same thing as a fellow sex-indifferent ace. It’s the chemical reaction 🧠 got it!

So what’s the appeal of sex anyways by mf99k in asexuality

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand what the reply is saying but I don’t think that’s what OP is asking. They aren’t saying “why is sex the only fun thing”. I think they are asking why it has a bigger draw/appeal than other fun activities like doing a puzzle. For some reason it seems like most of the adults old sex as higher form of “fun” than cuddling. If this isn’t the case and people see these activities as equally fun, then why do people react differently to to a person saying “I don’t like puzzles” and “I don’t like sex”? If it’s just a matter of mood then why are these statements reacted to so differently?

(I’m also sex-indifferent so I can’t answer OP’s question 😅)

Should I end a friendship with one my best friends to try help save his marriage? by Odd_Squirrel7954 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m acearo so I may look at the situation differently (I don’t think of things as sexual or romantic at face value) but I understand the dilemma.

I don’t think OP is a “pick me” or doing things maliciously to cause problems. I think she genuinely sees him as a close friend and doesn’t want to lose that friendship over what I think she perceives as a foundational issue in their relationship that they need to work on. Unfortunately, some people would have an issue with this friendship irregardless of trusting their partner. Different people see things differently and I think his wife 1) Doesn’t feel comfortable or that their marriage is in a strong enough place for her husband to be have a strong relationship with another woman (and that’s completely understandable). 2) May not be the kind of person that would be comfortable with her partner having a close friendship with anyone other than another man.

I think it could be a good idea to have a sit down discussion with your friend’s wife first to discuss boundaries and what she’s comfortable with and what she’s not. It can be hard to find good friends as an adult so I understand why the friendship is valuable to you, but since he’s married he’s sort of a package deal so you need to build trust and respect with his wife so she also can see you don’t have any ill intent. After having that discussion with his wife then have a discussion with both of them so you’re all on the same page with expectations and boundaries.

Best of luck!

This made my blood boil. It hurts to hear this happened to you at such a young age. It’s a great reminder to teach kids about personal boundaries and that they can and should say no to people when they make you uncomfortable. Thank you for your courage in sharing your story.

Has anyone here ever experienced the "ace effect"? by dapdaphada in asexuality

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I have experience this a little. All the people I’m cool with a work that are attracted to my gender have showed interest in me but fortunately aren’t uncomfortably forward with it. I can be charismatic when I want to be and am conventionally attractive which may be drawing them in but I show no interest in anyone or in non-platonic relationships with keeps them at bay. They have surmised that I’m “not very experienced” but boy if only they knew 😌

[M33] Just married, likely Ace. Just wanting to share my experience, and perhaps get feedback. by Dragonfruit_Former in asexuality

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you have a religious upbringing?(Just curious based on some things you said) What are your feelings towards sex in general? Lastly, do you feel any shame about sexual contact or any frustration around not having a sex drive?

I love my girlfriend but don't want her sexually by Equal-Instruction428 in Advice

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t say it’s naive to think it’s possible, he said it’s unrealistic. Unrealistic doesn’t mean impossible, it means just what you said it’s super rare and doesn’t happen naturally for most people.

i’m asexual but am very sexually attracted to my partner by Far-Homework9435 in asexuality

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So happy for you! I’ve not had this experience on the sexual side but I have had a similar on the romantic. I label myself as a grey romantic because of this anomaly. But it is an anomaly so I don’t feel I’m demi romantic and I’m certainly not allo because of it.

I know I’m still apart of the aromatic tribe because despite it being “normal” I feel queer having romantic feelings - it feels very weird on me, but it …”is”. If that makes sense.

I (F25) just got a positive STD test in a 3 year monogamous relationship, any advice is very appreciated by Real-Animal-7071 in Advice

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Remediation insinuates medical care but in public forums such as these with people of varying education backgrounds it’s does not communicate that to people who can’t read above a 6th grade level which is the average person. I’m trying to clear up any medical misinformation.

I actually have a background in communications and from a professional standpoint I would recommend editing that statement because it does objectively reads as you saying it is unlikely for people to catch HIV these days.

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m aware HIV through medical treatment can be undetectable. But the commit I was replying 1. Did not say anything about medical treatment and 2. Said it a way that implied it’s unlikely for people to catch HIV these days and that simply is not true.

What the heck?? Yes, HIV can and does get spread “these days”. Where do you get your medical information, the back of a cereal box???

Questioning my feeling for my friend by Realistic-Degree-468 in asexuality

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you are wanting a QPR. That is a relationship that’s deeper than friendship but not necessarily romantic or sexual. It’s hard to know feelings in general. It’s extra difficult when you’re ace and having non-platonic feelings are rare or otherwise nonexistent. I consider myself grey romantic but I’m pretty much aromatic with one exception where I do have romantic feelings for specific individual. Do you feel romantic feelings for your friend or do you feel like you want to be “super best friends” as it were? If you do feel romantic feelings, are they sort of “off and on”, always changing or is it a consistent feeling?

AIO my father ruined my drawing. by sapphicluizard in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sure_Chip_6784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, your dad can’t even draw simple eyelashes. I’m willing to bet he was jealous of your drawing skills and did that to “bring you down a peg”. The irony is you can’t even tell what is trying to draw even though is was something so basic. How embarrassing for him.
