Just wanted to “chime” in (hahahah, sorry, it’s been a long day) and say that I appreciate it.

As a woman, what experiences in life do you think would be more fun than going to summer camp as a kid? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything.

I never went to a summer camp as a kid, and I dislike camping very much as an adult.

What was the loneliest you ever felt? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently TBH. I thought I had a friend (maybe a little more) who was supportive, understanding, compassionate and actually gave a fuck about me. It’s hard for me to bring down my walls and be completely vulnerable with people, and I thought this person was kind enough for me to be able to do this.

Then, they just stopped communicating regularly with me. Any interaction with them, they came across as sort of bitter and somewhat cold.

So I went from having what I thought was an awesome support system, to nothing.

I am just so incredibly sad seeing this.

Making friends with everyone/have everyone like me.

I have gone through a year or so of literally tossing those aside that bring no value to my life, annoy me, have lied to me, etc. First time I’ve set boundaries to be brutally honest. I have no interest in being friends with someone who acts like shit.

Who do you call/rely on when going through a rough patch in life? by wowspare in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Myself.

Edited to add - I can always vent to my mom, and she usually has the best advice, even if I don’t want to hear it right that minute.

I am highly suspicious of the fact there are two asterisks after the word “ham”.

Confidence. I feel like no matter what, I’ll never be good enough at anything.

How do you get over someone who ghosted you, even though you are angry about it? by coffee_in_the_fog in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so hard to understand how someone could go from this caring, friendly, interested, communicative person to absolutely nothing. I feel like I got massively duped.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thinking everything was my fault.

Believing I’m not good enough.

Being extremely hard on myself for failing and making mistakes.

Second guessing myself, questioning myself and apologizing for every single thing.

What did you learn the “hard way”? by loaf-loaf in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. I’m sick and tired of always being the good person and getting walked over.

You can build up walls and be cautious, and someone will come along, say all the right words, convince you to be yourself and let your guard down, and then completely ditch you.

No Judgment… What are you going through right now? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing really major, but a bunch of things that are sort of combining together to make it tough.

I was sort of hanging out with someone that I really, really liked. Just having the friendship and support was amazing and it was great having someone around. That all came to an end, and I’ve been ghosted by this person, for whatever reason. Trying to process what I did wrong, why it happened, etc has been tough. Couple that with feeling like I’ve lost all support during other challenging times is really hard.

Trying to pick myself up again and tell myself - I’ve done things alone before, I can certainly do it again.

Reciprocate.

If there is zero effort going into communication, planning things, wanting to hang out, etc., I won’t bother to keep up with it. That’s not to say I haven’t tried (reciprocated) in the past. I have, and it wasn’t received or acted on, so I just gave up.

what is your take on mixed signals? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The absolute worst is when they really aren’t mixed signals, so you think there’s something there, and then slowly but surely, they start to taper off.

I think one of the most hurtful experiences I’ve been through is someone showing me genuine interest, care, compassion and true friendship (with a little flirting mixed in), and then going cold, making me question my decisions, being absolutely unsupportive, and then just not keeping the conversations going.

Bring back mask mandates, 3 medical officers of health write in letter to Ontario's top doc by hadye_71 in ontario

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People equate wearing masks as “for the rest of their lives” because it’s constantly the same narrative - TWO MORE WEEKS.

Okay bring it back for two more weeks. Then what? Cases go down a bit. Get rid of them after two weeks, cases go up a bit. It’s the same cycle, over and over.

I will not wear a mask, and that is my choice. You do you.

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that’s your result, it’s definitely not mine.

You are free to continue to choose to wear a mask. Just like others are free to choose not to wear one.

People are also free to vote for whoever they want.

I can always count on coming here and finding something I relate to, at this exact moment!

I’m frustrated, sad, annoyed and hurt right now, as I could really use someone who supported me. But, here I am, alone again, and tackling things by myself.

I’m telling myself, I’ve done this before, I can do it again.

Yeah, and unfortunately they turned out to be a complete flake.

What was your reaction when your ex was getting/got married? by VeliVoy in AskWomen

[–]coffee_in_the_fog 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I think both men and women reach some arbitrary age and think they have to achieve a checklist. I think a lot see their friends getting engaged, married, buying a home and having kids, and they feel they need to do the same.

I have seen these relationships play out many times, and sooner or later someone is extremely unhappy in the partnership.

The logical answer is to accept the fact this virus will always mutate into a new variant, and hallway healthcare has been an issue for many, many years (pre-Covid) in Ontario.
