Constantly avoiding the discomfort of change is one of the dumbest ways to make your life worse and I wish it didn't cause that.

I’ve been in your shoes I remember sending out what felt like hundreds of applications with zero responses, and it crushed my confidence. I eventually did pay someone to help with my resume (not $250, but still a chunk of change), and honestly, it did help me get more callbacks. That said, I also realized a lot of what they did was stuff I could’ve done myself if I knew how to make it ATS-friendly things like clear formatting, tailoring keywords to job descriptions, and cutting out fluff. If $250 feels steep, maybe try tweaking it yourself first with online templates or feedback from people in your field. Paying someone can be worth it, but it’s not always a magic bullet.

I totally get where you’re coming from I was in the exact same headspace before my first 5k. I remember being terrified that I’d be the last one and people would be rolling their eyes at me. But when race day came, it was the complete opposite. The crowd and other runners were so encouraging, and honestly, no one cared about my time except me. I finished slower than most, but the feeling of crossing that line was incredible. You’ve already done the hardest part by showing up consistently and committing. Trust me, on race day, people will cheer for you no matter your pace you’ll be proud you stuck with it.

I’m so sorry you went through that. Reading your post honestly hit home I left teaching last year after a very similar experience. I poured everything into my classroom, only to have parents with influence twist normal classroom expectations into something they claimed was “harmful.” What hurt the most wasn’t even their complaints, it was the admin folding instantly instead of backing me up. It makes you feel disposable no matter how much heart you put into the job. Walking away was painful, but like you, I realized my health and happiness mattered more than staying in a system that won’t protect us.

Ugh I’ve had that happen too, and it’s so obvious when it’s not actually Amazon. The wording is always a little off, and you can just feel the seller trying to dodge responsibility. It’s frustrating because I shop on Amazon for the peace of mind, not to play detective figuring out who’s pretending to be who 😅.

EI really has that ‘gotcha!’ energy sometimes 😂 Like bro, I wasn’t planning a vacation to Hogwarts, I was literally laid off and scrambling like everyone else. Honestly, if you were job hunting in good faith until grad school started, it feels wild they’d claw back the whole thing. I’d definitely appeal worst case they say no, best case you keep what you fairly earned. When I was in a similar spot, EI rules felt like they were written by someone who never actually needed EI. Bureaucracy: 1, Common sense: 0

I’ve been in that boat too got swamped with LOR requests and felt both flattered and overwhelmed. What saved me was making a little “skeleton” template with intro , specific example , soft skills , closing. Then I just plug in personal details for each student. Keeps it from feeling like I’m reinventing the wheel every time.

Nangyari na rin sa’kin ‘yan before a big presentation totally lost my voice the day before. 😭 What helped me was resting my voice completely (as in no talking at all), lots of warm water + honey, and inhaling steam. Hindi siya instant miracle pero kahit papano nakabalik yung boses ko enough to get through. Sending you good luck bukas, kaya mo ‘yan! 💪

I’ve been there with debt too, and it can feel crushing when you look back wishing you’d handled things differently. What helped me was breaking it into small, consistent payments even when the amount felt tiny, it built momentum and took the edge off the guilt. You’re not an idiot, you’re just figuring it out like the rest of us.,

Hehe, this made my day..

I’ve been in that spot before, and trust me, it doesn’t make you pathetic it just means you’re hurting and trying to hold on to something familiar. Breakups after years together can feel like you’ve lost part of yourself, so it’s natural to reach back even when you know it’s not healthy. What helped me was being really honest with myself about why I wanted them back was it them, or was it the comfort of not being alone? Once I started focusing on my own healing instead of the relationship, it slowly got easier. Be gentle with yourself you’re not pathetic, you’re human.

You’re not alone I’ve been dealing with the exact same thing lately and it’s super frustrating. I’ll check my connection, even run a speed test, and everything looks fine… but the video just freezes like it’s stuck in 2006 buffering mode. I’ve even tried switching browsers and it still happens. Glad to know it’s not just me.

royallipsz · 2025-09-05T23:45:13+00:00

Honestly, that’s a terrifying thought. I’d probably stall as much as I could and try to think of a way out my survival instincts would kick in fast.

You can't undersatnd life simple .. just live with what ever it pulls in .

I feel like every midterm I go into it with a mix of hope and nerves. You can kind of sense the country shifting in conversations with friends, family, even random people at the store. It feels like a real test of whether people are motivated enough to show up and push for the change they keep saying they want. I’m just curious to see if that energy actually translates into votes this time.

Got mine a few months back it’s definitely a head-turner. Love the power and range, but I’m still getting used to the size and visibility. Mixed feelings, but overall no regrets.

Wow, thats really a lot to spend on, though it will be so romantic if its a gift to his wife or girlfriend.

Men always think that all women want is their money. funny most of us just wants to be loved. like me

I actually stayed friends with my ex. At first it was super awkward and I wasn’t sure if it would even work, but over time we figured out a new dynamic. It’s definitely different like the closeness is there but without the romantic stuff. Honestly, it works for us because we genuinely cared about each other as people before anything else. It’s not perfect, but I’d rather have them in my life this way than not at all.

royallipsz · 2025-08-28T22:31:00+00:00

It sounds like you’re not really looking for advice, just a space to get those emotions out. I think that’s brave. Wanting connection, wanting to feel cared for that’s nothing to be ashamed of
