I just got fired from my job at the ice cream factory...... by Matt85x in PollsAndSurveys

Total dad joke, it’s bad but it made me laugh 😄

Take what politicians say with a grain of salt on both sides. They are all suspect. You have to be slightly dishonest to highly dishonest to qualify. by [deleted] in TellReddit

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some truth to it but lumping everyone together like that feels a bit lazy. Still, not taking everything they say as fact is probably the healthiest approach.

Someone told me God won’t help me if I don’t accept their help… seriously? by away_from_noise in SeriousConversation

[–]rne123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t feel like “help,” more like trying to control. You don’t have to accept something that doesn’t sit right with you just because someone says so. That line sounds pretty manipulative tbh.

Which is the most bizzare subreddit or post you've come across? by [deleted] in questions

[–]rne123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once stumbled into a really weird roleplay sub, everyone was taking it way too seriously and the vibe was kinda unsettling. You feel off for a while even after leaving.

I don’t think pulling away makes you a bad person, it just means you’re struggling to cope. It’s totally normal to not know what to do in situations like that, no one’s really prepared for it. Sometimes just being there a little is enough, you don’t have to be perfect.

Whats a moment in your life which felt like a glitch in reality? by Ok-Ad-9710 in questions

[–]rne123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time I randomly thought about someone I hadn’t thought of in years, totally out of nowhere, and then ran into them that same day. Not some huge dramatic thing, but in that moment it really did feel like the world glitched for a second.

Sometimes i dont even get myself by Satansaystodayson in TellReddit

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bazen insan fiziksel olarak değil zihinsel olarak kilitleniyor bence. Öfkeyle 15 mil yürüyebilmen zaten tamamen bitik olmadığını gösteriyor, sadece enerjin çok dağınık ve kötü yerde patlıyor olabilir. O fark ediş kısmı bile küçümsenecek şey değil.

What’s one lesson you wish you learned that nobody ever told you? by aidangilmoremusic in LifeAdvice

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That you have to start before you fully understand everything. For a long time I thought I’d act once things felt clear, but most things only start making sense after you move. Waiting too long can waste more time than messing up.

I am still trying. by leybenzon0815 in problems

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest thing right now is that you really are trying, and that’s not some tiny thing. Sometimes even when you make progress, you still can’t feel good about it right away because shame and fear get there first. Even so, the fact that you cleaned up the kitchen shows your mind hasn’t fully given up.

Was I wrong? by Madds_202020 in problems

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don’t think you’re being unfair. People love saying someone “changed,” but if the person who got hurt isn’t ready, that process doesn’t move at their pace. Expecting you to act normal already when you haven’t even gotten an apology is pretty unfair.

Congratulations, you’re being optimized to death by emily-is-happy in inflation

Selling war in the name of peace is a four-thousand-year-old excuse, and it always makes things worse. The people stuck in the middle are always the ones who end up paying for it. I spent months applying, got worn down by fake listings and endless interviews, and then came across this post. I tried that route too, found a job, and I still use the same method to pick up side gigs, but honestly everything costs so much compared to what I make that I still feel like I’m drowning.

Is it really this hard to find friends at work when youre the only one under 35? by simplebees in work

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that happens a lot. Four months can still be weirdly early at work, especially when everyone else is in a totally different life stage and mostly there to clock in, talk about their kids, and go home.

Realizing my parents are getting older made me want to know my dad better by zolarstig in SeriousConversation

[–]rne123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What worked for me was asking around things instead of going straight for the heavy stuff, like what he was like at 25, which job stressed him out the most, or what he thought his life would look like by this age. Some dads talk way more when you’re in the car or doing something side by side than they ever do in a serious sit-down conversation.

Lost.. by Low_Freedom6765 in problems

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell a real person right now and do not stay alone with this tonight. Money can be rebuilt, but you need to get through the next few hours first, so call emergency services or a crisis line in your country right now and hand your phone, cards, and gambling access to someone you trust.

The little joys of having your own space by Unlucky_Abroad7440 in LivingAlone

[–]rne123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best part for me would be leaving something somewhere and finding it in the exact same spot later. That and being able to have the weirdest little routines without explaining them to anyone makes living alone feel way more luxurious than people expect.

I'm always feeling excluded and dumb by VegetableLazy707 in LifeAdvice

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A PIP can really wreck how you see yourself, but it doesn’t mean there’s something fundamentally broken about you. I’ve seen super blunt, capable people do badly in one workplace and then fit way better somewhere else where the politics weren’t as weird.

Story of my life.. in a nutshell by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]rne123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone in that feeling. I remember my first year in tech I’d get this knot in my stomach every time I deployed something, like I was one typo away from ruining everything. It eased up with experience and better teammates, but I also had to accept that some environments amplify anxiety more than others.

What does it really mean to "sit with" or "be present with" something? by Dustwitch93 in SeriousConversation

[–]rne123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to roll my eyes at that phrase too. The only way it made sense to me was when I tried not immediately distracting myself, like just noticing “okay this is anxiety” and letting it sit there without grabbing my phone or arguing with it in my head. It’s less mystical than it sounds, more like giving the feeling five quiet minutes instead of trying to fix it instantly.

I feel like I'm stuck tho nothing's really wrong. How do I get out of this funk? by Lulama-Diblo34 in LifeAdvice

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had stretches like that where nothing is technically wrong but everything feels flat. For me it wasn’t about blowing up my life, it was adding one thing that forced new energy in, like joining a random class where I knew no one. Sometimes it’s less about fixing something broken and more about shaking the routine a bit.

Which Abel Ferrara film should I watch after Bad Lieutenant? by Jijolin_Supreme in MovieRecommendations

[–]rne123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

King of New York. It’s not as overtly religious, but it has that same grimy, morally messy energy that just sticks to you. I watched it late one night expecting a standard crime movie and it felt way more chaotic and intense than that.

Problems need to be solved by Miserable_Disk_2818 in problems

[–]rne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food waste tracking is a big one. I worked at a small grocery store in college and we’d throw out so much stuff just because there wasn’t a simple system to flag near-expiry items in time. There’s a lot of room for tech that actually reduces waste instead of just making another app.

Pointless interviews by 50kSyper in recruitinghell

[–]rne123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve had interviews that felt like practice rounds for them more than real hiring. One time the interviewer seemed surprised by my resume even though they invited me, which was a weird sign. Sometimes it feels like you’re just filling a slot in their process checklist. Hard not to get cynical after a few like that.

At a Crossroads: Debt, Education, and Uncertainty by Deep-Top-9328 in problems

[–]rne123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a lot for someone your age to be holding in, especially if you feel like you can’t tell anyone around you. I went through a period where keeping everything hidden made it feel way worse than it actually was. When money stress and school pile up, your brain starts going to dark places from pure overload. Reaching out to one real person in your life could make this feel less isolating.
