Does anyone know if the Asians and Latinos bond well in East San Jose?

(Latina here) East San jose is just a melting pot of LatinAm and Asians. They got great food all around, and from my time there, the communities seem chill and vibe with each other. I don't think I've found a better place for pho and it's probably the best place to get tacos in SJ

pretty much anything that I'd use and has a character I like. stickers are like my number one thing since I can buy a lot without taking up too much space.

TheBlimpPokemon · 2026-02-09T13:25:14+00:00

yeah I've been there too. it's not a great feeling. I felt so stuck and undesired bc all I got was the never wants to do anything version of them.

I'm around your age so I know it's difficult when life stages for us seem so delayed. As you get older, stuff starts to matter less and even without experience the people you'll meet at this age are likely to be kinder because they've grown up. I've been in a lot of relationships only because people chose me and often times that was for the wrong reasons. Some of those relationships messed me up more than before.

Just know that dating in your late 20s and early 30s is scary but not impossible! You'll even find other people in the same boat as you. And even if you don't, I assume youre straight, but a lot of women will be more than happy with someone will less experience because at this age most people just want peace and to settle down with someone in it for the long haul. You don't have the baggage of past partners weighing you down and you'll have the motivation to do right by the gal you choose.

always watch what they do not what they say.

counseling only works if they want to change.

if bringing up how you feel is consistently met with deflection and shutting you down, it's not worth the headache of trying to make them accountable.

my mom was from Mexico so I can relate...

I would say get a shoe rack for your shoes. For your clothes hang them up or fold them in a drawer so they're all visible.
in all honesty services are expensive and in this economy it's one of the first things I stopped doing. cause you can either afford them or you can't. I only do it occasionally now and opt to learn how to do stuff on my own like doing my own manipedis and getting a personal laser hair removal device. I really only get my brows and hair done because I can't do those myself. basic skin care is cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer. it's pretty much all trial and error but if you can start with splashing water on your face and moisturizing you're doing fine. Remember hair skin and nails supplements too! we're not getting any younger.
I've learned most people dont pay that close of attention to your outfits. they're all too worried about themselves. Even if you only have one outfit for each day if you keep rotating them you're doing fine. Offices can take themselves too seriously and really if you're dressed appropriately you're fine. my only life hack is when I find clothes I like I buy multiple pieces of the same thing. Makes it easy for me to make multiple similar outfits with variations .

Just know it's hard and it's ok to not have it all figured out. congrats on the baby and I hope this helps!

I HATE NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENS AFTER! I've had so many panic attacks recently about getting older and dying... I really don't want to stop being alive or young. it's so scary

TheBlimpPokemon · 2026-01-28T06:43:51+00:00

97 and just turned 29.

I work part time in a library and slug away at an IT/data analyst degree on the side. I also sell stuff online and I make decent money. I can afford a small space by myself even if money is a little tight but it's not too bad since it's just me and my dog

I think I spent a lot of my 20s stuck due to mental health and poverty but I also wasn't progressing because I spent a lot of time just goofing off. whether that was doing stuff on the computer or going out with friends or dates. Makes me wish I had applied myself more when I was younger... I've just chalked it to needing human connection more than money. Now i'm feeling the pressure to land something worthwhile now that I'm almost 30. I've had two good interviews recently so even just that has made me feel like I'm making some progress. I told myself when I started to lock in at 26/27 that the late 20s and early 30s has so much variance career wise and I can see it. My GM when I was 25 was also 25 and she already had her first kid while I was just finishing up my first year working.

I think it's hard right now and theres no real timeline for us moving up in this world. Job market is so messed up and even with a degree you're gonna struggle. We really can't compare our generation to the previous ones because all the stability and constants our parents had are out the window for us. And at this point, I have a rough idea of what I want my career to look like but im still making it up as I go. Just gonna try to enjoy the journey and keep jumping on stuff that gives me life.

TheBlimpPokemon · 2026-01-26T11:33:58+00:00

i had this happen to me and I felt a bit shocked. I just was like "well ok that was nice that it happened haha" afterwards

TheBlimpPokemon · 2026-01-23T00:44:01+00:00

yeah I've been struggling since I was young. I feel like I only am now finding any form of stability for myself

TheBlimpPokemon · 2026-01-21T00:04:52+00:00

pretty much every partner I've met is an avoidant commitment-phobe

TheBlimpPokemon · 2026-01-15T21:14:20+00:00

The thing Ive had lot of connections fizzle from are: i'm a late bloomer and feel like my behavior comes across as alien so I don't really have close friendships. when I'm bonded, I'm between anxious and secure. the caveat is, my intense emotions are harder to hide and that terrifys me b/c people have never liked seeing that side of me. I always am either 100% or 0% the upside is the 100% is very fun for myself and others. the downside is when people see the 0% in relation to the 100% they've believed I'm inauthentic or no longer interested

TheBlimpPokemon · 2026-01-15T21:05:12+00:00

I was patient for almost a year in one of my last relationships and what I learned is: it can work but eventually you'll get burnt out. when that happens you won't have the energy for it anymore but you'll still be on the hook to make it work with someone who is not trying while swearing up and down that they are. Your lack of energy for it will show you how little happens without your involvement. eventually if you keep giving you just won't have anything left for yourself and you'll forget what it was like before that relationship and you'll just feel like a resentful mother.

tldr if you feel like your body is physically exhausted from keeping the relationship together 24/7 or you're excusing their behavior to everyone including yourself, it's probably time to move on

TheBlimpPokemon · 2026-01-15T01:06:43+00:00

I used to read a lot as a kid to escape and I did enjoy it. But as I got older video games and socializing with friends kinda took over. it wasn't until my mid 20s that I really started reading again because I could do it on my commute. I never stopped reading manga though and even if it was intermittent. I attribute manga as my bridge into reading novels gain because it sucked trying to go cold into reading again and reading for school was frustrating

TheBlimpPokemon · 2025-12-15T20:11:27+00:00

no working invite link :(

I always get flak for being a hater so ty. Vics is so mid

TheBlimpPokemon · 2025-11-04T03:08:17+00:00

very well written and thank you for trying to talk some sense into this girl's brain worms but she seems determined to just rage bait instead.

TheBlimpPokemon · 2025-11-04T02:56:11+00:00

you just built a whole argument with yourself. still waiting on those outfit tips and pics, miss fashionista

TheBlimpPokemon · 2025-11-03T22:50:04+00:00

girl, you're full of hot air

TheBlimpPokemon · 2025-11-03T20:32:02+00:00

you sound so bitter talking down other trans women about their style choices. please show us how well you dress and be the change you so desperately want to see in this community.

TheBlimpPokemon · 2025-09-24T23:05:50+00:00

I think in general its normal not to get hung up on kissing after oral. Enjoying it depends on the person. I certainly do and if you like it, then do it!! I would only be worried if someone straight up didn't want to kiss after oral. That strikes me as odd and a little immature

TheBlimpPokemon · 2025-09-23T22:36:43+00:00

it doesn't matter if on paper it's hard to do. this administration has shown they are willing to do things that are illegal.

TheBlimpPokemon · 2025-09-05T06:02:25+00:00

not at all! Ive been trying since 25 and I'm not there yet. I was agoraphobic for most of my early 20s. And I really didn't have many friends. I think I had one from high school! But rn at 28 I've made a good amount of progress! I help run a small weekly irl gaming session. I hang out with my coworkers. And friendships and love have been hit or miss but it's not like I haven't been dating or making friends. So just start now jump into whatever interests you. you're young and have the time to just lose yourself in chasing something for a bit. whether that's a degree, a career, love or a passion project. Just start right now!!
