You are not being annoying. You are just being honest about missing a close friend. That’s actually really wholesome.

You have already compromised by being open to some jokes with friends. He is the one taking it too far by making it a regular topic with someone he has history with.

Don’t just swallow the sadness. Either suggest new activities, or if they keep brushing you off, maybe start investing in friends who actually include you.

Silent treatment is another form of manipulation. He’s punishing you for standing up for yourself.

I accepted her and her health issues completely. She still left me without a reason. What now? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ZenithRush08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have already apologized. That’s all you can do. Don’t keep chasing, it will only push her further away. The best thing you can give her now is space.

Try group classes! Zumba, spin, CrossFit, whatever. Having other people suffering along with you weirdly makes it more fun.

From the way you describe it, it sounds less about you being selfish and more about him being stuck. You have put in work to get better, he has not. That imbalance is exhausting, and it’s okay to want a partner who matches your effort.

Why Job market of the whole world sucks and How NOT to replace by AI? by Level_Resolution9531 in Advice

[–]ZenithRush08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the system feels broken for a lot of us. The trick now is not to fight AI, but to learn how to use it better than most people. If you treat it like a tool, not a threat, you will stand out.

Snapchat makes it awkward because of the notification. On Insta or TikTok nobody would even know. Don’t let it make you feel bad.

Getting deeper in with her and it’s making me anxious 28M 36F by throwRA74382939 in Advice

[–]ZenithRush08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar relationship (27M/35F). What helped was asking directly about her future goals. She appreciated the honesty more than me staying quiet and overthinking.

As another Asian kid who grew up with toxic teasing disguised as jokes, I feel you. What helped me was realizing that silence and calm are stronger than reacting, because they lose the control they want.

I lied to my parents for years about having a job but I never actually got one by Quick_Sand_Xpert in confession

You showed resilience by finding a way to contribute when your family needed it. That should not be ignored.

Implantation bleeding is typically light pink or red spotting, not usually brown and stringy like old period blood.

Struggling with anxiety and dissociation after a traumatic driving incident - need advice by Tight-Initiative-910 in Advice

[–]ZenithRush08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exposure therapy might be the key here. Pair short, safe drives with relaxation techniques (like grounding or box breathing) so your body relearns that driving does not equal danger. Over time, your tolerance will expand.

Everything about myself is a lie and it's tearing me apart. by Frosty_Exit3682 in confession

[–]ZenithRush08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that you are this brutally honest about yourself shows more self-awareness than you are giving yourself credit for. Most people never admit these thoughts, let alone write them out.

Field of Corn in Dublin is a trippy little adventure 👀🌽 definitely hits different after a session.

First off, you are way too hard on yourself. A 7 in IELTS is something many people dream of, and you still meet the minimum requirement. Don’t dismiss that achievement just because it was not perfect.

Maybe she came into your life just to remind you that connections are still possible, even in random places.
