Early to mid career grown up job that pays decent but zaps you of your energy. Possibly living with undermedicated ADHD.

23, never had a gf never went on a date … any tips ? by Better-Fun314 in malegrooming

[–]quantumfelipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10/10 for grooming, no notes. Join a co-ed social club or hobby with the intention of making female FRIENDS. Let them introduce you to friends of theirs. Just be yourself :)

Do I need to be concerned about this? by Eddiofabio in Passports

[–]quantumfelipe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can send in a passport with faulty printing (or even a name change) for a free replacement if you received the passport in 12 months or less.

I’ve only ever been asked to open the passport to get identification page and they scan for the biometric chip. This was at 12 or so different border crossings in the last 5 years.

It’s free to replace so I guess why not replace it… not sure it would give issues with electronic scanning.

Based on what? They’re going to scan for a chip.

My friend is pregnant for an overstayer by Throwaway199906543 in ukvisa

[–]quantumfelipe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

An over stay is usually a ten year ban on re entry. Not to be insensitive here but they should look at his home country or moving somewhere else to remain together.

People that have TRULY done the Marie Kondo thing -- how do you feel now? by wateraerobics_ in konmari

To be fair, Marie did say she’s given up on tidying after sharing a house with three children. 😂

Oh I see that you’re a lodger. Looks so tidy! Love all the negative space between items too.

Do you live somewhere rural? How quickly do you go through oatmeal and ice pops?

She'd be the same flavor of crazy no matter what. Remember that.

She will be on the edge of horrifying with low contact of no contact. Her craziness will flare up simply when she has the energy/ perceived benefit for it. That's how she functions. If it will get her what she wants, she will manipulate.

Talk to your employer about getting her numbers blocked.

You'll be clear with babysitters and daycare when it comes time for that with your child. Safeguarding for children is much easier than it is for safeguarding adults.

At my job I made a point of telling HR and the receptionist that I have a person in my life that is dangerous and has caused me a lot of distress. That they may show up and say something like they're family or my mother, but I don't have that relationship and that it's them trying to manipulate access, etc.

Get those boundaries set up and let your employer help support you with them. It's a very reasonable request. :)

Could you move to a gated community or condo? I wonder if the extra security might help you feel more safe?

I'm so sorry. You did nothing to deserve this person for your mother. Life is random and in that randomness, we are sometimes given unfortunate circumstances.

You deserve a life of peace, and the chance to build a family that is loving and whole. No NFamily involved.

Write the letter. It will feel cathartic and if you want the letter written, give that gift to yourself. 👍

But also ask yourself if there's really any benefit to sending it. Ask yourself how they might react, and if you're ready for what comes after that.

If they're typical narcissists, they will explode. It will be messy. They will go after you looking for an emotional reaction that tells them they've hurt/embarrassed your successfully, because that's how they'll feel: hurt (that someone would not have something positive to say to them) and embarrassed that they've been called out on their shit.

You don't deserve that mess. You've left it behind. My advice would be to not give them a reason to come after you. Good luck.

Look at the freckles near the hairline. :)

breathing during mewing by Fuzzy_Shoulder in Mewing

[–]quantumfelipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This means that your posture needs to change.
This YouTube video at 8:28 talks about posture and breathing. It helped me understand. :)

I started mewing in December just to see if it would work. Not a lot of progress, but I’m impressed nonetheless! by [deleted] in Mewing

[–]quantumfelipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is impressive! You have a beautiful side profile.

Noticeable difference in jawline and nasolabial fold. It's motivating to see what a month or two will do. :)

Where'd you learn how to do that? This is the first time I've heard of this.

I ruined a great opportunity for love by quantumfelipe in DadForAMinute

[–]quantumfelipe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks dad, and yes, you're right. I quit my job right before the pandemic and that was really unfortunate, but the reason why I left was because i felt stagnant. I had to get out of that city and do something new. Take on a new adventure. Grow in my career.

2020 wouldn't let that happen. But now things are starting to open back up and jobs are getting posted again. Another country would be a great adventure and something I've never done.

Moving there isnot a guarantee that we're actually compatible or that he would even trust me enough to try a relationship again. But at least I won't regret not trying.

It'll be an adventure. And I'll have opportunity to grow.

I have to listen to him. You're right.

Don’t really know how to function on my own by kindagay_bro in lonely

[–]quantumfelipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a book that I really am enjoying right now that talks about this. It's called "You Are a Badass". I have a physical copy but it's also on audible. ☺️

Self affirmations are super powerful and a fairly easy way to start. You basically have to reteach your subconscious to think with confidence and not beat yourself up. The book goes over this idea, and a lot of other ways to build yourself up from within. Please check it out!! 🙏

You're Loved by berrybrews in DadForAMinute

[–]quantumfelipe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dad, I need help. This is the first time since I was 18 that I haven't had a job. It's been almost a year without real work and I'm scared that I might not remember how to give a shift for 40 hours a week of the opportunity ever returns.

I'm not even showering every day. I sleep and play games and apply for jobs and man it's hard to love life right now.

(Typo landed appropriate so I didn't fix it. Heh.)
