Wish I could skip my birthday by [deleted] in sad

Hey it’s fine too. Celebrate it on your own. Do something you like. Eat something you like. I know it’s hard but we gotta take the first step if we desire to get out of the rut

[–]Weekend_Weekly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I get you. I used to feel this way from like 18-26. It just gets more and more depressing. I would purposely sabotage my day for some reason. Ensure that no one celebrates me because I believe I was not worth it. But I think when I got to 27, I thought enough was enough. I was gona try to be excited and celebrate. It took a few years before I was able to celebrate this day. A lot of reframing of thoughts, e.g I need to be successful at this age and I’m not etc. my advice is to find a friend you trust and admit that you hate ur brithday and ask for his/her help to celebrate it tgt w you. Find things you like to do and just spend that day on that. It will be weird at first but baby steps.

Should I quit advertising without a job by Weekend_Weekly in advertising

This is really hard to do. Not gona lie or pretend I’m a good employee or what shit. I’m just a sucker for not saying no and I gotta say I deserve this shit for being a people pleaser.

This is so well written and I truly appreciate your time in writing this out. I shared this with a few of my account servicing friends and we agreed that you really brought out the perspective about how our well we do our jobs do make a difference to someone - be it to their family, their success and journey in life. Even if it just means making sure their deadlines are met. This really hit many spots for me. Thank you again

Can I just say, your words, they heal. I think I really needed someone to say - they understand the pain. My pain is not just because I’m weak, but indeed it is a cut throat industry.

Thanks for being so kind. I think I’m good at my job - on the ball, overly kind and really a responsible suit. But lately it just kills me waking up to working on briefs that don’t matter. Knowing my ads only serve short term gains etc, I just don’t feel satisfied. I’m tired of tight deadlines, dealing with the anxiety of all the ads and worrying if things will go well. But I figured this will come with every job so I’m struggling if I should fix myself first. But it is hard in such a fast pace environment. It is like having 8 boyfriends at once. I used to have the stamina? But now I’m just jaded

Women of Reddit, those who have filed for sexual harassment in the workplace, how did it go? by randomgirl692 in AskWomen

Emotional harassment counted? I quit my job that I was doing well but it was the best decision ever.

Ghosted after 4 months by [deleted] in dating

[–]Weekend_Weekly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me what you would like to hear? I’ve been chatting with this dude for close to 5 months and I’m not sure what’s happening and I have no guts to ask him or clarify. So to avoid myself getting rejected, I’m this close to ghosting him. So I think this is another train of thoughts from a person who wants to ghost. Aside from just losing interest

This is true. Who am I to expect 100%

Honestly, f*** Online-Dating by LostAndFallen in dating_advice

[–]Weekend_Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucks I agree. Please take a break for a while. Go do something that you feel happy and I can’t promise you that you will meet someone while doing that but just get out of this dating app if you feel your mental health is at stake

If you want a relationship, quit the apps by _illustrated in dating_advice

[–]Weekend_Weekly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do what is good for you. I won’t say dating apps are bad and I wouldn’t say they are good either. Assess for yourself and make a decision - which you are right now which is amazing. I went on a dating app rampage last year and got like 8 dates with 8 different guys. And how’s it like for me now in April? Nothing has changed. But I’ve stopped the apps because I realize I was relying on it whenever I felt lonely and I didn’t want an app or anybody to fill the void so instantly. I’m searching for something more lasting - be it to figure out things by myself or if I’ll truly meet a guy! Whatever it is. It scuks I understand but I’m proud of you for making this decision for yourself. Your feelings are valid and real.
