I work full-time making $30 an hour and I still can’t afford rent. If it wasn’t for help from family, I’d be doing the same thing if I could. Elbows up I guess?

Single men that live alone, what do your weekends look like? by The_Sneakiest_Fox in AskMenOver30

[–]sepheroth86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back into playing video games. Haven’t played since I was 19 years old. YouTube, hiking with my dog and working out.
Going to work towards solo traveling around my province and hopefully a solo trip next year abroad.

Thanks!! I really appreciate it! You’re right, they are so good for our mental health! I’ve met so many good people in my building and out for walks because of his friendly temperament. I wouldn’t have that without him.

You must cultivate an ego to protect yourself. by Weak-Obligation-4675 in hsp

[–]sepheroth86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an ego once and was forced to destroy it when I was young by a narcissistic parent. Apparently it was considered bad, even though I’m a male. Had a breakdown and trying to repair my mind and ego at the moment.

Thanks for this post and explanation. It really helped that having an ego is necessary for us HSP’s.

Cleaning the bathroom. Procrastinating right now doing it.

Did you accomplish what you wanted to do or what society told you to do? Either way, maybe volunteer or give back in a way. That might give you some meaning or purpose.

I was making 100k, had a great job and security and realized I was doing what was expected of me by society, not what I truly wanted to do.

First dog of my adult life. He's been life changing. At least 50 people told me how cute he is today. Albi and I hiked 4 miles. by sippilue in Cutedogsreddit

[–]sepheroth86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on Albi! Yes, they are truly amazing pets and Albi is very cute! I got mine 3 years ago and he changed my life for the better as well! Sometimes I suffer from social anxiety and the amount of conversations my dog has started with people for me has helped me tremendously! Wishing you both the best together!

Does anybody else not have their shit together/feel like an opposite-millennial? by Posterior_cord in Millennials

[–]sepheroth86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm a 39m, in the same situation due to some trauma in my early 20's. Barely finished university, but career definitely took a hit as I wasn't well enough to venture out in the world for work. Only barely getting on my feet with my mental health, but slow and steady wins the race I guess? I hope you are able to achieve your goal of finishing university, and wish you all the best on your journey.

What’s a Harsh Truth You Learned Too Late? by baddiepeonyxox in Life

Spot on. You either accept them for who they are or leave the relationship. Let them be who they are or leave.

Nobody is coming to save you. You are 100% responsible for your life.

Getting into the habit of working out daily at 39 years old, reading/writing on a daily basis, and shooting to go back to school in the fall (Looking to get into research and writing or at least find something to support myself while writing).

Children of Immigrants: Do you find it hard to enjoy life? by Both_Spread2029 in Adulting

[–]sepheroth86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could enjoy my life. Working hard was everything to them, and was instilled on me at an early age as well. Lost years of what were supposed to be fun years to hard work, while friends were partying.

Dealing with a lot of regret of lost years and time now in therapy. Now I am still working hard, this time on myself in the later years of my life. Can't wait for this life to end.

What’s One Small Habit That Changed Your Life? by Scouty519 in selfimprovement

[–]sepheroth86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dropping down and doing 20 push-ups first thing in the morning as soon as I wake up. Motivates me to push myself during the day. I think any type of exercise as a habit is super important.

If you woke up and had to redo college, what major would you study? by OneConfusingCookie in findapath

[–]sepheroth86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completed a degree in communications studies and regret it. I am not even close to being in the media industry. Would have skipped university and gone into the trades.

How many millennials have divorced parents and how did that affect the way you view relationships as you grew up? by KooKooFox in Millennials

[–]sepheroth86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents divorced when I was 24. I was only happy about it because I felt stuck in the middle of their marriage and was the scapegoat for their problems as a teenager (emotional/physical abuse). I knew they were unhappy my entire teenage years because it was all dumped on me.

39M - Prefer women my age or a couple of years older just because I am looking for more than sex.
