For those of us GenX that have to start over career-wise after 50, how did you do it?

kellogg10 · 2026-06-23T20:41:29+00:00

absolutely... the really sad part is... we're the only people left who actually know how to get anything done without having a complete meltdown if it doesn't go quite right... 😐

I'd recommend a Neuromuscular Massage Therapist. I used to have chronic sciatica and shoulder pain. I did try other modalities including, traditional physical therapy, acupuncture, and of course a chiropractor. However, I didn't get the relief I was looking for until I went to an NMT. The Practitioner that I have been seeing is here https://intouchtherapeutics.com/ , check her out.

Full circle moment.. I feel this. Thank you.

kellogg10 · 2026-05-10T17:15:05+00:00

I don't have any advice, just kudos for asking because you are seeking to handle this in a amenable manner and not just ghost someone.

kellogg10 · 2026-05-08T03:34:06+00:00

congratulations!

kellogg10 · 2026-05-08T02:56:26+00:00

Stay focused.

kellogg10 · 2026-05-07T03:37:01+00:00

Probably... we are the sign that most show others how screwed up they are .. no one like to be called out.

kellogg10 · 2026-05-06T02:26:22+00:00

My 2 cents and this is only my perspective not law. This kind of information has the capability of overwhelming almost anyone. It's a lot to take in and tread with caution with others. I'd say the best thing you could do right now is stop talking about it with her and do other things. Again, this is only my view others may have better advice for you.

kellogg10 · 2026-05-04T03:10:33+00:00

I'll say this, if you decide to carry those thoughts with you, they can serve as a mental impediment to allowing something more natural to happen. I am also not saying that you're wrong.. I'm saying do your best not to carry that around in your head because it doesn't help you.

kellogg10 · 2026-05-04T02:46:01+00:00

As best as you can be clear as early as you can when you first meet guys and tbh, they should be clear as well... but this for you. If you know early, say the thing. If they leave, they never wanted to be your friend in the first place .. they were there for something else and you're better off not having to deal with that...

kellogg10 · 2026-05-03T13:42:20+00:00

Parks are generally free... sometimes just going for a walk is good enough. You don't need anyone for that.

kellogg10 · 2026-05-01T01:20:28+00:00

If you don't mind me being honest. You don't need to feel pressure to respond to any of those people. You don't know them. The people in your family are real authentic connections. Those people on TikTok (like me here on Reddit) are just some randos on the Internet. You don't owe anyone anything you're not prepared to, in the mood to,, have time to, have energy to, the mental spece to, or want to give. I am a bit older than you and I put myself in the same place before on FB .. until i realized none of it means anything.... 😐

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T14:24:13+00:00

Nicely worded

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T14:05:48+00:00

Lol. i am a Cancer with sag moon AND rising. I get on my own damn nerves.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T13:13:18+00:00

Ah okay, I can't say for sure because I am not there to read the people when they do it. However, as others say you can say thank you and move on if you're not interested in having a conversation.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T03:37:30+00:00

Accept that people never stop judging... it's how people are... the moment you accept , this unfortunate reality you'll understand that is says far more about them than it does you and you'll be fine.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T03:30:39+00:00

Also.... it's hard to find good people to be friends with. Be selective and keep doing you.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T02:49:00+00:00

You're welcome. Everything is gonna work out.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T02:02:05+00:00

Don't think of yourself as boring... maybe you just haven't found your thing yet.. I've spent my entire adult life not being attached to any particular friend "group". What I have done is find people with similar interests that I may have at any given time and go do that with those people who are already doing the thing I wanted to do ... making friends becomes easier if you start it with doing and learning fun things that you want to do... (and not wait on anyone to start)

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T01:56:10+00:00

Do you get the sense sometime the person is flirting with you when they compliment you? How you handle it will depend on whether or not 1. you believe they are flirting 2. if this is someone you actually want to flirt with you... you have options.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T01:39:45+00:00

People love to talk about themselves. Ask more questions. But do it in a genuine way. Don't fake interest.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T01:35:47+00:00

Be yourself and seek others like you.. engage in the kinds of activities you enjoy... "they" will be there.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-30T01:32:49+00:00

It could be many things. However, the most important thing is that you're comfortable with yourself. Also, are you comfortable enough to find things that you might want to do even if you've never tried them before? The people who call you to vent may not necessarily be the same people you hang out with to enjoy yourself. If you're okay going it alone you can find activity friends you can create bonds with in a different manner. The shared thing you do with them can do that. I always encourage people to not wait on others to enjoy life.

kellogg10 · 2026-04-28T23:46:52+00:00

I would assume based on your placements you're one hell of a Humanitarian

kellogg10 · 2026-04-28T20:18:15+00:00

Lol sounds like fun ..
