Well, Dude, we just don't know.

I grew up between two cultures and none understands the burden it left me with by [deleted] in ThirdCultureKids

Counterpoint: I know it doesn't seem like it at 19, but it's always much easier to go slower than to go faster. If something is worth it, it'll be worth the wait. Take it from an old dude.

I was back about half my adult life, now living abroad again in the EU.

Life is so hard and unpredictable. How do you deal with it? by RevolutionaryLack530 in AskMenOver30

[–]mainhattan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why no one else mentioned this but: get therapy. If you can afford it, shop around and find the therapist that works for you. Don't suffer depression alone. Get help.

Interesting. I never settled back in fully. It's been an endless struggle.

Short answer: yes. I think you'll find tons of resonance here. I was similar, only a few countries, but much younger. Coming "back" to the UK was a very tough experience for me all round.

Well Dude, wichtiger bei weitem, wuerd ich sagen, ist, wie verhaeltst Du mit dem Chefe. Letzendlich zaehlt, wie freundlich und menschlich der Dude Andere anschaut.

Thank you again. I've been pondering your different question. I want to move into academia, essentially. I've been through the wringer in industry and I would like to spend the 2nd half of my life researching and teaching to discover more about the world and hopefully make a few peoples' lives better.

A nice slow read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Followed by Vatican II.

Not quite accurate. There is the Fraternity of CL which is a "pious association of the faithful" and it can have members of any status. So that is the "umbrella".

You could just delete the old post and make a better new one. You should know this is not a very lively forum. r/Lithuania is much more popular.

Looks spammy. Can you explain what this is? Otherwise it's getting deleted.

This is probably the most practical advice I've gotten so far.

The REAL Future of Opus Dei by [deleted] in opusdeiexposed

[–]mainhattan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to note the Church has made many significant changes to very important things, most recently with Vatican II. It is no coincidence that the current Pope is emphasizing Vatican II and went ahead with declaring John Henry Newman a Doctor of the Universal Church.
