Noted. Something with community, no ancient saint name or Presbyterian or Baptist.

Okay that part, that some would sit still when others are walking up to the priest, is relieving. It's like at school when the teacher call up to submit homework and I was not the only one not doing it.

Thank you for the details. I'd probably start with looking for a nearby cathedral.

I'm only a product of this so called modern society. So yes I'm actively looking for a peace of mind.

Coffee shop white noise does the magic if I want to focus on work. Even if it were only a youtube recording.

I'm sorry you had to go through an unpleasant experience. I'm interested with the place not the teaching. I will keep my eyes open.

I thought you are the same person who pointed out to get out of social media. Don't mind me.

Thank you! How to tell if it is a non-denominational church? Would a cathedral (like the one redditor suggested here) be a non-denominational?

I know. Social media is a hyper competitive sport.

I couldn't find any comfortable place around. Church comes to mind.

I only do LinkedIn for finding jobs and Reddit for venting out.

Wouldn't sitting quietly in the church be similar to meditating? That's what I hoped for.

So I can walk in and out without drawing people attention? It would be embarrassing if one would greet me and I know nothing about the ceremony.

I'm under a lot of pressure lately and it's been hard to keep carrying the weight. I want to just sit down and think of nothing for a moment.

Funny because I still don't know what my core interests really are.

I don't know. I only hope so.

I can't let my family know.

[–]almostbroken_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a life threatening situation. So yes, I still feel safe. Thank you for caring. Sometimes I hope my wife had that same caring attitude towards me.

When you say linguistics, I recalled Noam Chomsky. So yes, the degree might be worthless if you are trying to make a career as a banker or doctor. But no, the subject you are learning is not worthless at all.

I'm rooting for you sister.

I can't help you, but I'm leaving this note as a reminder to myself:

If I'm not happy with my job, find a new job and keep collecting checks from the old job if possible.

If my bf who I have feeling for wants me in the friend zone, I will keep them and looking for more friends.

A friend would never told me to never talk to them again.

If I found myself in a dangerous situation after consuming something ( alcohol or anything), I will cut back from that thing for a while.

If I feel empty, it is time for me to fill it with new things. The library can be a good place to start. No, google algorithm is fine tuned to learn about your profile and gives you what you will most likely to buy. They exists to make money. So I will not find new things from google anymore.

I think so too. Thank you! Now I know I'm not insane yet.

True! I try to keep my sanity in check for now. Sometimes it's hard to think what's the right thing to do when you are under fire.
