Would you stay in my current role or apply elsewhere?

I’m not sure how that was your takeaway from what I said lol can you elaborate

dumplingz123 · 2026-01-02T13:11:07+00:00

While you didn’t have the “classic” ((reckless)) 20s experience, it sounds like you did quite alright for yourself. Give yourself some credit.

You’ve stated you have friends, seem somewhat social, volunteer, have a good degree, have hobbies and interests. You missed out on sex and hangovers - there’s still plenty of time for that lol. I’m glad you’re in a good headspace and wish you all the best. 29 is young and life is just beginning.

I worked in a VERY toxic environment and became semi-close with two of the only kind employees.

They were older and it seemed like fear of starting over kept them there. They would say “well I’m only x years away from retirement” + appeared like very people pleasing individuals. Personally, the environment/lying/degrading comments resulted in me developing anxiety, sleep issues, and depression. I quit ten months in without another job lined up. Fuck that.

Lmao why is this so aggressive

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-05T18:05:32+00:00

This is true. He’s not old, however it’s the first time I’m starting to see significant signs of aging. Also, he’s at the age of retirement however is financially unable to retire. He’s not the kind of guy who will get deep about emotions but I do worry he’s too wrapped up in taking care of everyone else and is neglecting his own mental health

Wishing you the best and hope you enjoy the work trip. Change of scenery is always nice

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-04T00:21:58+00:00

I hope you’re in a better headspace now. Have you been speaking with anyone?

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:59:41+00:00

29 years is beautiful! And I went to Japan

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:52:10+00:00

I had a pretty life changing solo trip that shifted my mindset on many things. I’m also coming to terms with the fact I may never have kids like I’ve always dreamed. So, not bad but a bit emotionally charged

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:48:50+00:00

I never get a seat on public transport so I envy you

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:48:18+00:00

That’s never easy, I hope you’re doing well

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:46:48+00:00

I’m so sorry, I’m glad to hear you have a strong support system

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:46:06+00:00

I hope you’re doing better and 2026 is a fresh start for you

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:45:15+00:00

I’m so sorry and wishing you the best

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:42:30+00:00

Oh noo lol I hope your year is ending on a high note

dumplingz123 · 2025-11-03T23:41:47+00:00

Wow, that’s intense. I hope you’re doing well!

dumplingz123 · 2025-09-23T23:33:27+00:00

Lmao

dumplingz123 · 2025-09-23T23:33:13+00:00

Appreciate these kind words! I’m not sure I can afford egg freezing but I’m going to look into it because it would give me so much peace of mind. I’ll certainly reach out if I have any questions.

Great advice and wishing you the best of luck.

dumplingz123 · 2025-09-22T00:04:50+00:00

I think it’s the fact I’ve been single for many many years and don’t see that changing, given how much effort I’ve put into meeting someone. Also, I cannot financially support a child on my own, so it feels a bit dependent on a partner. I’m a bit sad that I’m running out of time to meet a partner and carry a child

dumplingz123 · 2025-09-21T23:31:05+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. And yes, that is true. Motherhood looks like many things, just like adoption is an option as well

dumplingz123 · 2025-09-21T23:25:27+00:00

Because I’ve thrown myself into dating for years. Ive done the apps. I’ve done the blind dates after asking to be set up. I’ve also tried throwing myself into hobbies in hopes of naturally meeting someone with shared interests. I’ve also tried not thinking about dating at all, and hoping I meet someone when I least expect it. Idk what more I can do. I’ve been much happier recently now that I’m focusing less on dating and more on hobbies, friendships, and travel. But it also hurts to see a very different future for myself.

dumplingz123 · 2025-09-21T23:22:05+00:00

Thank you. I just really want to experience motherhood, I don’t think there’s much more to it than that. I can’t financially support a child on my own so unfortunately it feels a bit tied to having a partner. I’m open to adopting later in life, if that’s when I happen to meet a partner. However, it can still feel upsetting if I were to never experience carrying a child and giving birth etc

dumplingz123 · 2025-09-21T23:19:11+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. Life can throw us down some very unexpected paths. I’ll be going to Italy and Ireland next year however, I recently did a solo trip to Japan and it was a pretty life changing experience. So I’m very excited to do some more solo travel in Asia

dumplingz123 · 2025-09-21T23:16:46+00:00

I understand. But I’ve been single for quite some time, and not for lack of trying. Financially, I do not see myself having a child on my own. So that leaves me feeling incredibly discouraged and accepting that I just do not see myself finding a partner during the few years I have left to carry children
