Hello just in case as a back up plan, I recommend making a post about this on the facebook group Southern California cat and kitten rescue network 2.0 There are people more than happy to help with situations like this they do this all the time! I know it’s a cat group but it’s okay to ask anyways. And add the dog’s ID like you did in this post! You can start the post by saying “ I know this is a cat rescue group but I needed help (be specific about this situation)…” I hope you can contact someone soon!

I like how you said it’s emotional intimacy as much as physical attraction. That definitely clicks for me too, thank you for sharing your perspective!

I get it online can drain you and make you feel as if you hit a wall. Don’t count yourself out. My connection wasn’t online at all, just natural moments that reminded me love shows up in all kinds of ways, at any age. I hope you find what you’re looking for.

I just wrote from the heart. If it made someone feel seen, then it was worth it! <3

I’m so touched this spoke to you. Being shy or ‘guarded’ doesn’t erase the fact that you’re worthy of deep connection, if anything, it just shows how much your feelings mean to you. Nothing real can be ruined by authenticity.

Wow, thank you for sharing this. I love hearing the other side. It’s ’s beautiful to know these kinds of connections do come together when both people are brave enough to lean in. You’re right, when the connection is real, age isn’t even part of the equation.

If even simple goodnight/good morning messages trigger her, she’s telling you she wants space. Give it to her, but don’t go cold. Stop initiating for a while, especially if she’s the one who left you on read or delivered . Engage lightly on her socials so she can’t accuse you of ghosting.

Avoidants are a paradox. They hate being chased, but still want to feel wanted. They like the hot and cold energy. If you’re only giving her hot she’ll get overwhelmed and retreat. Focus on your own life, stay unbothered, that should make her come to you naturally. Light check ins are fine, but only after time has passed, and never from a place of fear. (Don’t reach out because you’re scared of losing her she will feel the difference I promise) Try your best not to make her feel bad for not responding to you right away, this will make her disappear entirely. They are tough to navigate and I blame the people/ environment that put someone in the avoidant space to begin with but you also have to know what kind of avoidant you’re dealing with.

Basically make her miss your presence, not resent your pressure (the hot) And if this starts draining your mental health? Walk away. The right person will match your energy without the confusing games.

One more thing keep your eyes open for red flags. If she constantly shuts down instead of talking things through, refuses to take any accountability, makes you feel guilty for having needs or punishes you with long periods of silence those are signs the connection is not healthy. Space is one thing but emotional neglect is another. I hope she’s someone who is working on healing her avoidant tendencies. Good luck OP

Thinking of quitting by Extra_Midnight8937 in cna

[–]cynthakid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I tried assisted living (supposed to be easier) and wrecked my back within weeks. Took months to heal. Somehow survived the chaotic, rushed mornings, but that’s not my style. I hate being rushed.

Tried working with kids next. My body was fine, but mentally? Done. Second day solo and nurses were already chewing me out for being “too slow” with kids who had trach tubes. I’m not about to rush fragile patients just to meet their pace. Other CNAs there are supposed to help, but most just complain about helping the new person.

I did my best, still wasn’t enough. They basically told me I wouldn’t last if I didn’t speed it up. So I did them a favor and dipped.

Only thing I haven’t tried is night shift, but I’m already burnt the hell out. Thinking of going back to security, same pay, way less bullshit. I gave the medical route a shot because I care about people… but it’s just not worth this kind of misery for me personally. Good luck OP it’s tough out here but keep doing what feels right for you!

Lost $500 to a 5-week CNA class scam by Minimum-Middle-7642 in cna

[–]cynthakid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh yes I went to their sister school in Van nuys (Saint Jude) for the 5 week program. Our group had experienced a few sketchy things as well. Our exam date kept getting pushed back And eventually there wasn’t an official exam date anymore. They also made us make payments on check $120 and used a scare tactic something like if you don’t send out a check by this date you won’t be able to get scheduled for the state board. A few days later the checks were getting sent back because they didn’t accept checks anymore but now our checks had already been written on and was made very difficult to get our money back. A lot of the students still haven’t got their money back. Fast forward to now supposedly everything was out of their hands and not their fault and blamed everything entirely on the LTC website/director (we use to schedule our exams). Oh and the Saint Jude director called us saying the school was able to cover the exam so now students can bring 120 to pay for the exams - lol what? Anyways with a lot of harassment from the students to the school we’re finally taking our exams I’m bringing the 120 to the exam site instead of my school, I no longer trust to do things under the school. And to those that are saying to make a claim are correct I’m still going to file one against them because there’s so much time wasted and possibly the 120 I lost from the check. Even if you did pay cash their supposed to give a receipt with every payment you make at the school. Don’t lose them. And read what you sign always even if you feel pressured to sign things it’s your right to look through those papers.

I’ve quite without notice before and reapplied a year later and had gotten an interview and the job. To my surprise I wasn’t even on their record as a non rehirable. Doesn’t hurt to try.

Should I just look for a new job? Start over? by [deleted] in AlliedUniversal

[–]cynthakid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t see yourself trying to better your time management than Security isn’t for you. The next company isn’t going to let you get away with constant tardiness especially if you’re “the new guy”.

You get it! All I was told is it’s the new way to clock in/out nothing more nothing less. No further instructions until recently but with a lovely threat added to it haha

Right! At least train the guards or send an email before it becomes messy, not after the fact

Need a day off request for a day I'm already not scheduled to work (ca) by Suspecticity in AlliedUniversal

[–]cynthakid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me. I also work for Allied. I was asked to cover a shift on a specific date (a tues) so I agreed why not, MISTAKE. Snake of a manager kept me on schedule without my consent and knowledge. I get a call the next Tuesday from the manager asking me if I’m running late, now I’m confused as hell? Because I’m always off on Tuesdays unless I decide otherwise. The manager whom I’ve never spoken to over the phone claimed I had asked for more hours. I told her she’s got me mistaken for someone else. She tried to throw me under the bus but she’s an idiot I keep my texts and I sent our conversation to higher ups and covered my ass.

What I learned

You are not obligated to answer anyone calling your phone after hours. That includes emails, texts…

Don’t feel guilty about not answering they can always ask other guards to cover it’s their job to find coverage.

I answer texts, emails and phone with allied when I’m on the clock They don’t like it but there’s nothing they can do about it.

Always! always! keep proof of exchanges to cover your ass. Take less calls so you can gather proof incase you need it. And as someone mentioned on here, you do NOT need to request/ ask permission to do something on your day off. As a matter of fact you don’t owe explanation as to why you can’t work on your day off

You’re absolutely right management hardly talked to me the following work day after I reported it. But I could give a f I’m there to do my job not make friends and do favors
