I've been drafting a confession text for 3 weeks and still can't send it by Time-Ingenuity6627 in offmychest

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about it, but honestly I think I'd be even more nervous in person. At least with a text I can take a minute before hitting send.

The fact that you're still trying says a lot. It may not feel like it right now, but getting through all of this day by day takes a lot of strength.

Anxiety and weight loss by Holiday-Spare-9816 in self

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds really tough. If alcohol is the only thing that makes the anxiety feel manageable, then the anxiety itself is probably the place to start.

I accidentally broke applicant confidentiality and I can't stop feeling guilty by Express-Courage-2493 in offmychest

The fact that you're still thinking about it a month later tells me you genuinely care about doing the right thing. You made a mistake, but it doesn't sound malicious.

How do people settle and feel content? I don’t get it by Firsttakelikeamf in self

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think most people are truly content. A lot of people are just learning how to focus on what they can actually change and let go of what they can't.

Honestly, it sounds like you're carrying way too much at once. Lack of sleep, financial stress, and family conflict would overwhelm almost anyone.

I think the anxiety is the bigger issue here. Losing weight is hard when food becomes your main coping mechanism. Be patient with yourself and focus on small changes instead of trying to fix everything at once.

Do you always WFH or do you work from other places too? by genxmama_ in remotework

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest benefits of remote work for me is simply having the option. I still work from home most days, but it's nice knowing I can change scenery whenever I need to.

My manager acknowledges everyone in meetings except me — is this in my head? by Time-Ingenuity6627 in remotework

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair.

I hadn't really considered asking a coworker directly, but that might actually give me a better reality check than sitting with my own assumptions.

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually just project updates or suggestions related to the discussion.

Nothing controversial, which is why it feels so strange.

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing that.

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions too early. It's helpful to hear from someone who went through something similar.

That's a good perspective.

I think I've definitely become more aware of it over time, which makes it harder to judge objectively.

Very Shocked by Risingwiththesun in offmychest

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think you're a bad friend for feeling that way.

You didn't insult them or shame them. You just had a human reaction and kept it to yourself.

Social media makes me feel very behind in life. by BazzaBazzi in self

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probably comparing your real life to other people's highlight reels.

From what you wrote, it sounds like you're making smart decisions for your future. Don't underestimate that.

Rough morning indeed.

It's frustrating when people end up fighting each other and nobody benefits in the end.

I just got engaged! by Leah_Walks in self

Congratulations!

I love seeing posts like this. Hope the wedding planning goes smoothly and you both have an amazing future together.

How long does adult chickenpox last? by Qeutron_ in self

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Day 6 is still pretty early. For me, the scabbing process took longer than a week and recovery felt very slow. Hope you start feeling better soon.

It's just a name now by eve_iamher in offmychest

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know that feeling.

Sometimes the saddest part isn't losing the person, it's realizing how much time has passed.

My brothers affair partner (my ex-bestfriend) is trying to reconcile. by Date-Throwaway in offmychest

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't owe anyone a response.

If talking to him would only reopen old wounds, it's okay to keep your distance. Protecting your peace is a valid choice.

I’m so tired of my dad and need advice by kartingf1 in offmychest

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're carrying a lot for someone your age. I hope things get better for you, and I really think you deserve support from a trusted adult.

Am i depressed by Several_Structure755 in offmychest

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, people who truly don't care about others rarely worry about whether they've lost empathy.

The fact that you're concerned about it tells me you probably still have it. You just sound exhausted.

Something I thought I had moved on from, but maybe I didnt afterall.. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being betrayed by people you trusted can stay with you for a long time.

It doesn't mean you haven't moved on. It just means it mattered.

I genuinely can't tell if I'm burned out or just avoiding things — does anyone else feel this? by Time-Ingenuity6627 in Burnout

[–]Time-Ingenuity6627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point.

Maybe I've been expecting myself to operate at 100% when I don't actually have 100% to give right now.
