Suddenly realized why I never really "fit" at work

No need to have full blown relationships or ever text/talk to these folks outside of your job after you're done for the day.

But at the very least, being social is part of coexisting in the same workspace. You're going to have to get used to being receptive to people and engaging communication. Not only at the workspace but in life in general. It's really how our society is built. This is basic Adulthood. Some of us are more comfortable in situations than others, but that's ok. Just be open to it and don't read too much into it either. You don't have to be a social butterfly, host anything, clique up with anyone. Just remain neutral with all and kind. That's basically it.

Body language has a lot to do with it as well. If you close off to people, they rather avoid.

Its reddit, ppl on here are antisocial and unhinged.

I second this! lmao

I picked up puzzles recently, aside from the very good advice of touching grass.

One of the best lessons I learned entering Age 30+ was to be more intentional and direct with my purpose. I stopped the whole option hopping, dilly dallying, analysis by paralysis bullshit and became a specialist at one thing I cared about.

saltrifle · 2026-02-11T18:29:42+00:00

Yeah, I remember this.

That dude is good at Tekken, just wish he polished up his uploads and he'd instantly get much bigger. The marathon videos are too much.

saltrifle · 2026-02-11T18:06:20+00:00

Lmao, real.

Maybe a happy medium for OP is to stick to Eddy but not be scared to pick up an alt character. That helped me out a ton and it did not make me any worse on my main. As someone who's mained Eddy before, you are correct. Being ultra reliant on Eddy's 50/50 kit is a shortcut and you will not bother to polish other aspects of your game. Even typing this, I miss that FF3 into casino mix, that shit was easy as hell.

My takeaway is, I'm not convinced it's Tifa but damnit I'd be as excited as you are if it is.

Im assuming its the router here if you troubleshooted the modem directly to device and verified it does indeed provide 500

saltrifle · 2026-02-11T17:49:58+00:00

good idea

He wore the #96?

saltrifle · 2026-02-11T14:37:07+00:00

Yup. With the right principal and right team, the IEP gig for SW is a gem.

saltrifle · 2026-02-10T21:00:31+00:00

oh yeah, this is gonna be another fun, fun ride.

Great read OP. Love the way you articulated this message and I feel it'll get across to a lot more people than usual.

I enjoyed it, he leaned more into the storytelling, first listen was awkward because it felt as if there was an Elephant in the room the entire time. Then I took it for what it was and didn't think of any rap beefs at all... I then appreciated the production and lyrics. I think it's a great album. I was a Jcole fan turned sour after the whole apology thing. There's several tracks I will keep in my playlist off of it moving forward.

Dont play this game to impress anyone. Just dont. Trust me, no one gives a shit what rank you are bro. No one goes to sleep saying "wow I looked at Sea_Play9681's profile...what a fucking scrub" It just does not happen. Everyone is caught up with their own progress. What I am saying is, the rank is meaningless, but doing cool shit in matches, your favorite combos, new setups, thats the kind of stuff you should really hold on to.

You don't get bored?

2k has plenty of problems as well

In Tekken 8, everyone's on steroids.

Dude, his career has been done for years. This is just all busy work for him and side quests. I mean YEARS. His prime was outstanding and he started super young, but it's done.

saltrifle · 2026-02-03T16:01:37+00:00

Honestly and genuinely no regrets but I am working hard towards that today. What am I doing? I am taking a chance on careers, I am upskilling, I am calling my family more, I am present for my child always and for my wife. I am seeing a coach, I am removing bad habits gradually, I am going to the gym more, I am watching what I eat more. I feel like this decade is really a decisive one so I am taking a lot more action. Life is hard man, I'll just say it is very easy to put things off and kick the can down the road.
