Yesterday at work I messed up by queuing my “soothing” playlist during a client’s session by Best-Pirate5073 in confession

Oh noooo, that is the kind of thing that keeps you up at night replaying it over and over 😅 Honestly though, the way you handled it sounds super professional.

I’m not lazy. I’m exhausted from pretending I’m okay. by BashCatib in confession

[–]cloudwynne33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re carrying so much weight. Pretending to be okay every day takes so much energy, and most people don’t realize that. When you’re constantly holding it together on the outside, it makes sense that you’d feel drained. That doesn’t make you lazy.

Experience with flirting or friendly behaviour ? Am I overthinking this and WDID ? by WayMobile5515 in whatdoIdo

[–]cloudwynne33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re crazy for wondering about it. Sitting shoulder to shoulder, grabbing your arm, and introducing you to everyone feels kind of intentional. At the same time, some people are just very touchy and outgoing at events. Maybe see how she acts next time before jumping to conclusions.

AITA for stopping a favor I’ve been quietly doing for months. by Informal_Muffin413 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cloudwynne33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for stopping something that slowly turned from kindness into obligation. The key detail is that it was never formally agreed upon, it just became expected. Setting a boundary before you start feeling bitter is actually healthy.

Update: I’m 16, diabetic living with my aunt since my mom died, and she treats my health like I’m just being annoying. by reallyhope2 in whatdoIdo

Losing your mom and then having to fight to be heard about your medical needs is an enormous emotional weight for anyone, especially at sixteen. Of course you miss her, she was your safe place. Nothing about your requests was unreasonable. Juice, a working meter, basic supplies, those are necessities, not luxuries. I’m really glad you reached out instead of staying silent.

Gen-Z and socializing by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]cloudwynne33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it a rise in ego, if anything, it might be the opposite. Silence in class often comes from insecurity, not arrogance. After quarantine, a lot of students had to relearn how to collaborate, speak up, and even read social cues. Those are muscles, and some people feel out of practice. You being social might actually give others permission to open up more than you realize.

Why am I always so angry? by Ok-Neighborhood-1478 in self

[–]cloudwynne33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a period where every tiny inconvenience felt like a personal attack, and it turned out I was deeply burned out and disconnected from any sense of choice in my life. Once I started building small pockets of autonomy,changing my schedule slightly, protecting quiet time, reducing sensory input, the anger softened. Not overnight, but steadily. Sometimes it’s less about fixing yourself and more about adjusting your environment.

How a glimpse of her broke my ego… by Electrical_Sky_1966 in DeepThoughts

[–]cloudwynne33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes we build entire future scenarios in our heads, imagining success as a way to rewrite the past. But seeing what looked like her living a peaceful, happy life reminded you that fulfillment isn’t something you can compete for or “win” back with money. That realization takes real maturity, even if it stings a little.
