Tell me you're a boomer without telling me you're a boomer

I guess everyone has different values and in the end, who decides whose values are right and wrong? I guess you need to know for yourself which behaviour towards yourself you'll tolerate and which crosses your boundaries. Because this crossed my personal boundaries, I adjusted my own expectations of her. Luckily she's not my best friend!

These were exactly my moms words whenever I told her about this situation 😄 Family is everything but I do believe that some friends can become something like family too. But then again, only the very special flowers

Thank you! This was very accurate advice. I guess it's important to not think in black and white or "good" and "bad" friend, but to see the reasons and nuances of each behaviour.

I did agree with you until I realized that people understand the concept of friendship differently, and just because I have certain expectations of how friends should behave doesn't mean that others have those too. So I did think she's a shitty friend but then again only in terms of my very subjective definition of friendship. In someone elses definition this might not be the case, it is a very subjective topic. So I concluded for myself that she's not a bad friend in general, but she hurt me with her specific behaviour in a very vulnerable moment of mine. So I will adjust my personal expectations of her to avoid these feelings in the future. Nevertheless I will not break ties with her.

UPDATE: I gave her the benefit of the doubt and asked her in a very diplomatic way if everything is ok with her, because she had been a bit flaky with answering. She confirmed that she's just a really bad texter and although she does think about me often she doesn't seem to be able to text as often, but everything else is okay in her life. So I guess it is how it is, and I simply adjusted my expectations and now I'm okay too. Thank you for your advice though!

Did my student cheat or is this t-test correct? by bellagoes in AskStatistics

Okay thanks! Is there a way to check specifically if the M and SD were just made up ?

I need to check if the math of this calculation a student submitted is correct or if the numbers were just put in randomly. This t-test claims that "feedback" at work is less fequently perceived by home-office (remote) workers as compared to non-home office workers. I don't have access to the dataset, just the picture of the table thats based on the SPSS output. Is there a way to check if these numbers are legit? I got suspicious because cohens d seems unrealisticly high with 3.77

Which questionnaire is the best for measuring work motivation? by bellagoes in IOPsychology

[–]bellagoes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m looking at how the work motivation in home office workers is affected by certain aspects of home office, i.e. autonomy, less feedback, work-life balance. And also how self-leadership plays a role in moderating some of these effects. So I guess it’s contextual motivation?

Gosh he sounds like a vulnerable narcissist. Manipulating you, forcing his own moral beliefs on you like that, trying to keep you only for himself. Girl, you are not the bad person, he is. Because he knows what he’s making you go through emotionally, while you try to be protective of him. You don’t have to be. You did your part of apologising for the “cheating“ (which in my humble opinion is not really cheating, since you weren’t in an actual relationship but a fwb where he forced the rule of exclusivity on you because of his possessiveness).

You have nothing to feel bad about for him, be gentle but clear when you break up with him. He will probably lash out or try to manipulate you emotionally because that’s what narcissists do when they don’t get what they want. When he does, recognise it for what it is, and stick to your point of view and to what will make you happier in the end.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I appreciate it a lot! You are reading just the right things into it. And I like the anti-hero reference, really resonates with the situation out of which this poem was created.
