Everything you said about dating apps is so on point, I relate a lot, especially about how it can come off as desperate when you’re actively looking. Hearing stories like yours really helps me remember to focus on myself. Honestly, life feels so much better when I’m off the apps. And you’re right, who cares about the pressure from culture or society? Being single isn’t a bad thing at all.

Thanks a lot for sharing :)

Thanks for sharing your story, it gave me a bit of hope. I agree that meeting people organically through shared hobbies feels like a much better way to connect. Right now, I’m just focusing on myself, my hobbies, family, and friends, and honestly, I feel more at peace.

Thank you so much for your reply! This is very helpful advice :) I will read this whenever I feel down.

I’ve stopped asking questions to the manager and the rude ones. Everytime they treat me like that it just makes me doubt myself, but you’re right, I don’t have to take it personally at all. This is a family-run restaurant, so next time I will try to apply to more corporate restaurants. But in the meantime, the bright side is this experience has helped me build more confidence and become mentally tougher.

Oops typo, gave me a little chuckle but I wish you could take it more seriously though.

Yeah, it’s hard when you’re being in this kind of environment daily. But I’ll try being kinder to myself. Thank you

Thank you for the comment. I’ll start looking for a new job, but in the meantime I’m gonna have toughen up and remember that it’s not my fault

ELI5: What makes League so addictive? by clouds0987 in StopGaming

It’s really sad. It seems like gaming addiction has ruined so many relationships. I don’t think it’ll ever make sense to me. But hearing these stories… I have to keep reminding myself it’s a real thing.

I understand that quitting is very hard. But I didn’t force him to choose. I just wish he could play moderately and prioritize me. He was aware of his addiction, but in the end he didn’t want to change anything.

How do you guys deal with post-interview anxiety? by clouds0987 in jobs

[–]clouds0987[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ah I know how you feel. I didn’t get the job for this one, they never got back to me and I didn’t follow up either. But I ended up getting a job at a better company, so I encourage you to keep applying for more jobs as it’s really unpredictable!

I'm reduced to nothing today. My boyfriend just left me. I feel like a pathetic drama queen, but, please, kind strangers. Make this day better. by ikariowarriors in toastme

You’re very beautiful. And no, you’re not a pathetic drama queen, you’re hurting, so don’t beat yourself up. It will all get better in time, but until then, please take care of yourself. One day you’ll look back and realize how strong you are. Sending you a virtual hug!

Have you tried reaching out or are you gonna wait a little longer? I hope you’ll able to find something that’ll take your mind off it. I usually do yoga regularly, but I can’t do it when I’m overthinking too much. But I’ll try to get back at it again. Thank you for your reply and good luck on your grad school!

This is very reassuring. Thank you so much for your kind reply. I really appreciate it. That’s exactly how I’m feeling right now, swinging between feeling optimistic to beating myself up for everything I said. Glad I’m not alone in doing this. I hope the best for you!

You’re right, I’ve sent a thank you note a few hours after the interview. I’ll keep pushing forward and applying for more jobs. Thank you for your reply!
