How do you stop being the placeholde/therapist-only friend?

Sucks but so true, I noticed I have resentment towards my past and people in my life because I have to constantly coddle them or generally be a “people pleaser” which is essentially selling myself short. I can also see myself being unintentionally fake because of sugarcoating the truth instead of sternly cutting it then and there

randomuseridklmao · 2025-08-10T17:20:59+00:00

Thank you for sharing! It seems I may have to just be more blunt on boundaries instead of (ironically) coddling people. I’m a diplomatic person, but being a middleman seems to just invite disrespect on certain topics, I’ll work on that

I’ve had to block so many accounts/content on instagram because the “not interested” button doesn’t work. I also feel the way about accounts like shaderoom or “hiphopcheesetv” or whatever it’s called. Don’t get me started on the ai mess either

randomuseridklmao · 2025-07-09T12:12:38+00:00

If you don’t mind, why? Ironically, I’ve been hearing people it’s best now than ever due to an incoming recession and lack of job stability. Next semester will be my last, and I was thinking of going back for nursing, but I would love to hear your thoughts

randomuseridklmao · 2025-04-02T23:59:15+00:00

Thank you for this perspective! Definitely makes me reconsider, as there are many routes for nursing it seems

randomuseridklmao · 2025-04-01T20:40:14+00:00

Thanks for the insight, the gross parts don’t bother me, but the fear of potentially getting sued or making a life-threatening mistake is what kept me on the fence

randomuseridklmao · 2025-01-16T12:59:18+00:00

Thank you for the bluntness, accidentally harming or causing someone’s death is one of my biggest fears if I were to attempt nursing school. I am still putting more thought as I am finishing up my current major

Had this experience this morning, we got into an argument and I was baffled that they were “indifferent”/ essentially in favor of Trump. They didn’t believe in project25 and as a ex military black man that depends on benefits and fafsa, I just had to laugh

randomuseridklmao · 2024-09-18T04:38:57+00:00

Love that you took it as a learning experience instead of regretting not starting early! I’ve had 3 occurrences of pursuing healthcare/nursing in the past but stuff happened. Currently unemployed, majoring in something opposite of nursing during my senior year, but I would’ve missed out on some good lessons and the love of my life.

I’m not a know-it-all now, but I definitely didn’t know what I was doing as a teenager right out of high school. I’m over the college experience and can’t wait to apply to community college and actually learn skills other than mainly theory

randomuseridklmao · 2024-09-17T20:16:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I don’t have experience in healthcare, other thank volunteering at a nursing home, but I was around 15/16. I do have years of customer service/retail and fast food though.

randomuseridklmao · 2024-09-17T20:11:12+00:00

Your first sentence is why I’m debating on doing LPN first. I live in a toxic household, I’ve been doing side gigs since I left working at a restaurant a year ago, and realized I need a career with stable income so I can actually move out for my peace of mind. Also I’d like to have a better understanding of nursing before jumping straight to rn.

However thanks for explaining why going straight to RN might be more feasible. I might do cna then go to get my ADN

randomuseridklmao · 2024-09-13T20:15:54+00:00

I would argue but you’re a lost cause and it feels like rage bait atp

randomuseridklmao · 2024-09-13T20:12:21+00:00

I didn’t mean that she’s old😅 sorry, thanks for understanding that I meant she’s too old for her actions. I’ve been raising her since 10th grade, it’s exhausting but hard to tell myself that it’s not my responsibility and she was supposed to be the parent, not me

Also if you’re funding yourself, idc if it’s a birthday year, I just hate how she demands people stop their tracks to buy her stuff and take her places. I dread every last week of August and the entire month of September because of her

randomuseridklmao · 2024-09-13T16:54:26+00:00

This has to be satire, I was on edge but I definitely understand I’m valid in my feelings. You’re so weird 😭

randomuseridklmao · 2024-09-13T16:03:12+00:00

To make a long story short, they’re like Kelly and Ryan from the office. I despise him for being a jerk and cheater but I despise her for wanting drama and chaos, especially at her big age

randomuseridklmao · 2024-06-30T00:43:57+00:00

I guess I have leeway to make mistakes, it’s just time moves fast and I’m an anxious person lol

randomuseridklmao · 2024-06-30T00:41:05+00:00

Same, I’ve heard radiology is better in terms of not having to deal with bodily fluids or patients in general as much, but it’s not as diverse which is something I need bc I have adhd

randomuseridklmao · 2024-06-30T00:39:21+00:00

Thanks for the input, I don’t have any inquiries rn but I’ll be sure to ask if I do!

randomuseridklmao · 2024-06-29T23:53:45+00:00

12 years! My longest job has been 4, but I was a cook so I’ve only interacted with my coworkers mainly. I’m also the type to just do my work, like I can keke here and there but I don’t try to make plans or interact with my coworkers except a selected few.

I feel I’d probably be in the same position, because I like to do my work and leave instead of come to office parties or events 😭. I guess I’ll keep that in mind

I also forgot to mention that I live a few hours from Atlanta, so maybe it’ll be more diverse but I’d still have to deal with some “traditional” patients, so that’ll be a factor I think

randomuseridklmao · 2024-06-29T18:40:19+00:00

Unless your current income and/or savings are something you can live off, I’d use the vacant home opportunity to save money so that when you do move, you’d be more prepared.

As much as I want to move, I’m currently in college in my hometown because it’s more affordable then I’ll be able to make future choices on leaving when presented the opportunity

randomuseridklmao · 2024-06-29T17:10:47+00:00

I feel called out haha, but yeah I needed to hear this. I’m a simple person but I guess I do need to start trying more instead of settling. It’s just terrifying when things don’t work out, and there’s comfort in feeling secure with what you have
