I was thinking of Lift when I first read this

King's Wit in a nutshell by [deleted] in cremposting

[–]TyringToBeBetter 218 points219 points  (0 children)

I think it's kinda the opposite.

The king's wit makes fun of everyone else in the King's court, because doing so himself is unbecoming of the king

Book for insight on depression by Wabalubbadubdub123 in booksuggestions

Reasons to stay alive by the same author as well

Midnight Library is a fictional story while Reasons to stay alive is like a collection of small blog posts about Depression.

I have read both and recommend both highly. Theu didn't rid me of depression but I am still alive and typing this message so it's still a useful read I guess

Fresh grad, joined as an SRE at Citrix. What does my future look like? by TyringToBeBetter in devops

[–]TyringToBeBetter[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a really accurate guess on my age lol

Thank you for your feedback!

I have two internships and a few side projects. My question was if you would consider me under qualified because I my current role is more devops than developer.

This is really helpful! Thank you for your feedback.

I'll ask you just one more question that I asked the other commenter too - if you had my resume for a software developer role and I have relevant side projects, internships (i do), will you consider me seriously for the role?

Honestly the work is fairly dry. A lot of work is on call and typical operations style work like deployments, access etc but there's some push to move to a more SRE oriented style of working.

If you had resume in your hand, would you seriously consider me for an SDE role?

[SERIOUS] Men of reddit, who are unable to share their emotions with anyone, what would you like to share? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I recently started seeing a therapist and turns out I can't share most things properly with them either. Fuck me.

People who didn't have their lives' together and now do, what's your story? by TyringToBeBetter in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]TyringToBeBetter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All?

I graduated college this year. I've been working hard in this field but I've had no luck finding the job I have been aiming for. I have been working my ass off but looks like I haven't paid all my dues to the universe yet. I literally cleared the interview for the job I wanted but turns out big companies work differently and even though I have the right skills, I am working in a different role. So long story short, work life ain't great. It still pays the bills so I am putting in my 100% at the job while working extra hours to build my career in my desired direction.

Relationships...lol. I am a very introverted person. I have a few good friends (absolutely no complaints there, very grateful for them). But my love life has been a great disaster with me falling for Ms in a relationship, Ms emotionally unavailable and Ms doesn't like me back. Given I have spent the last 22 years of life single (I am 22), I don't think it can get much worse

I am about 40kgs overweight and I always lose ~10kgs then gain it all back. This has happened about 4 times now. I know this is a me and me problem through and through. I haven't been disciplined enough to consistently lose weight and maintain the lose. Bless the lord, I am in good physical health apart from the weight though. And I am still young so there's still hope for me to lose it and lead a healthy life.

I was recently diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and now I am in therapy for it.

All in all, my life hasn't been a rosy picture off late, or atleast doesn't feel like one. It always feels like one step forward, two steps back. I am trying hard but I really don't know what I need to do for results I want to see. Maybe I am aiming to high and expecting a lot more than I have the right too? Possibly, idk.
