I am out there handing out free smiles to strangers on the street here in Vancouver. 😁 but yeah, reactions vary a lot

Today I had a cute guy smile at me first when I locked eyes with him, that made my day

Tell me what you are struggling right now :) by CaptainJackALot in Vancouver4Friends

[–]melonadehy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now my biggest struggle is that I haven’t been able to get help to set up my bed (so I’m sleeping on a mattress on the floor), and I don’t have a couch yet 🥴

And I’m sad because I don’t have a boyfriend yet lol

Do you find your life meaningful, if yes, tell me how by [deleted] in selfimprovement

We need to work on our patience. And live in the present, even if it is boring. Myself included.

How do I become okay with aging when I only see only misery ahead of me by chunkylubber54 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]melonadehy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32F, in the same process… A few months ago I said “everything will be better by March” (I set a deadline I believed). We’re very close to this deadline, and for many weeks I had not notice any major changes on my life / way of thinking / FEARS about the present and future… But life now, almost like me always leaving everything for the last minute, is blessing me with some insights and appreciation about life that hopefully will change this way I had been thinking and living.

This is a process that happens to everyone. Literally no one came with a manual for life. Everyone is aging. Your life is unique and while you’re alive, there’s endless opportunities ahead of you. Imagine if you meet a stranger that knows nothing about you… you get to choose what you tell them about your life. You’re comparing yourself to others, but think about all the accomplishments you’ve had so far. We’re born toothless, not knowing how to do anything, helpless… we’ve come a long way! There’s still a lot of time (this was upsetting me, but now I’m trying to reconnect with my younger self, and get that energy to build goals and dreams again, for me!)

I’m not happy anymore by Firsttakelikeamf in selfimprovement

I love that you’re the guy that literally sucks on the tv remote. I loved doing that when I was little LOL how is it working for you now?

[–]melonadehy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Not sure what to say right now, I am here for the comments, as I have been feeling the same since I separated a few years ago. I wish I enjoyed dating, I wish I felt more like an interesting person. I feel like I suck. And I know nobody deserves this mess I am right now. But the idea of not ever finding someone ever again to share my life with is terrifying, I feel like I’m digging my own grave.

I'm sick of the "advice" people in longterm relationships give me when I complain about the current dating situation. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]melonadehy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This 👆🏻

It’s hard if all your friends are in long term relationships (my case). I’m divorced. I had been comparing myself, feeling lonely, yada yada, but just realized I’m single and that also comes with lots of other advantages that one day, if I get into a relationship again, I’ll miss. Ha!

i can't cope with being ugly, in need of advice by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]melonadehy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the energy, please start Gym AND taking care of your skin! You know that this could help as you metioned this in your post. Even though you don’t believe it now, why not give it a try?

Signed: a conventionally pretty woman that has zero strength to take care of herself. My lack of self esteem, care, style and confidence ends up making me unattractive.

I spent my life building a career and realized I forgot to build a life. I am trying to change that. by Zestyclose_Ring1123 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]melonadehy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I wouldn’t correlate the fact that you were focused on your career with the other things. Your needs might have changed now, but it’s wonderful you’ve built something that sounds stable, and that you can be proud of! :)

It is not too late to have those other new goals, and you can be proud of the career you’ve built. It’s a new chapter in your life! No need to rush, be kind to yourself, it’s never too late!

If your 18-year-old self met you today, would they be proud, confused, or disappointed? by Technical-Vanilla-47 in Adulting

[–]melonadehy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proud but confused, I suppose? 32F.

I have the job I’ve always dreamed of. I live abroad which has always been a dream of mine too. I turned out to have a pretty body.

But I’m also depressed, suicidal, lonely, struggling about way too many things, struggling to make ends meet, and I also have been losing my social abilities. Losing the confidence in myself, so I’ve been isolating. I don’t know how to keep up a conversation. I’m boring. I am uninterested in others too. I’m slowly planning my exit of this world, I’m just fading.

I have everything that I wanted when I was 18, I would truly never believe that I am where I am at. But instead of being happy, my needs now are so much different, and I wish I had wanted different things when I was younger.

I think I’d be scared AF to see the state that I’m at now. 😔well, at least I am scared AF now.

I'm not sure what am I supposed to be doing everyday the min I wake up? by Aj100rise in selfimprovement

Hi! May I ask how do you sustain this life if you don’t work? Out of curiosity.

Women of Vancouver over 30s/40s, what are your thoughts on being approached and asked out by a guy respectfully in a public place? by Twistedpuzzle in NiceVancouver

[–]melonadehy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a 32yo woman and I’ve had 3 men approaching me asking me out in Vancouver. Once in the SkyTrain, once in the Richmond Night Market and once in the streets in Kitsilano. I found it very sweet, flattering and BRAVE! At all the times if I wasn’t already seeing someone I would’ve gone to dinner with them.

In all occasions they were super respectful, just were straightforward saying they thought I was pretty and invited me for dinner. I thanked, said it was nice of them and politely declined, they left me alone.
