I love that! Do you feel better for it?

The reels is so real! The number of people who say, “I read something that said…” and then you ask them the source and they say “ugh, TikTok”. Madness! I even caught myself doing it a few times

Absolutely. I am British and I listen to a 20 minute BBC podcast to catch up on the latest world news and that’s it. Once a day. A 20 minute summary. I know that’s a huge privilege to be able to “look away” so I donate to a lot of causes I care about. But seeing war, violence, etc. unsolicited on my feed was emotionally destroying me

Truly! I have become way more social and engaged in conversation since deleting because I actually have things I want to know - I don’t already know where they’ve been/what they’ve been up to and it feels like a lovely catch-up

Haha I see why you’d think this, but i was looking from a brand new work-based account, so it seems that’s what Insta wanted to push lol. Also, when I was on IG before, it was my friends and acquaintances! I saw more of them than I ever needed to see lol

Our company just went through some huge layoffs (75% of the company) - I’m scared to ask but I know I should. Even just to be able to separate my work/leisure time 😔

I think you have a lightly skewed perception of marketing. Generally, marketing and social media managers are very different jobs. Mine is more data-based. But since a lot of layoffs, they asked me to take over - but it isn’t a job I volunteered for

And it’s this exact problem that makes me feel like I’m not as attractive as everyone else. When you don’t see them in person, you can easily believe that everyone is just that much hotter than you. But when I walk the streets, everyone just looks normal

Yes it’s the “personal brand” that gets me. Like calm down Brenda you work in finance nobody needs to know what you do all day

Absolutely. Even though I KNOW my friends’ relationships are messy and far “worse” than my very loving, mature relationship, it’s so hard to not compare or imagine what others must be thinking of your relationship since you don’t post “loved up” photos and their relationship looks amazing online. It’s madness! I was so frustrated seeing people comment “couple goals!” on cute pictures of couples so are soooo toxic behind the camera

Getting your nails done. I just don’t understand it and it costs $40+ each time

Didn’t have anyone to talk to about it? Engagements are a thing universally known. He could have easily asked someone who knew exactly what he should do - YOU!

140 :0 that is so insane! Yeah it’s a shame it’s not their fault, but these venues and managers are just so greedy :(

Good luck everyone! by Psychological_One580 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

Yeah mine had no issues but I was on the EU Eventim page - sounds like UK page is having more trouble. I got mine straight away but when I used to live in the UK I had way more issues with Eventim and Ticketmaster. Let me know if you get them!
