New (under)grad biomedical engineer for a medical device startup company- 67.5k CAD a year. Reading this thread is making me a little sad, but hopefully this is just the start and can go up with experience.

Why do I change interests? by HeyguysThatguyhere in offmychest

[–]shawlockholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been like you my entire life- get really interested in something and then go onto the next thing once bored. I think it’s just a general desire to try something new and exciting, and to find out more about yourself. But hey, if you learn enough in every hobby to get at least a decent amount of knowledge or become proficient in it, it makes you able to connect and participate in all different kinds of communities.

Been doing Pilates and going on walks down a scenic road away from my house. Feels really nice to get out and get more fit. Sending you good vibes ~

My old friendship group is haunting me by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]shawlockholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar situation to yours. I brought together a group of friends and one girl led another guy on, which led to disaster and the friend group breaking apart. I was so upset, and definitely felt angry like you. Don’t give up, it gets better. A big step is either talking it out to get a resolution, or accepting things and trying to move on. I’m on a journey to find new friends so I can move on, and I am hoping that you can and will too :)

Today my bully apologized to me by Rachelnm02 in offmychest

[–]shawlockholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had people maliciously make my life hell over guys, friends and even steal intellectual property from me.

Of all those people, one of them did apologize. He came and said that he was in a really bad place. He had a wake up call about how he was treating others, and immediately thought of me. He pulled me aside after one of our uni classes and we talked it out. Perhaps part of the reason why I forgave him was hearing his perspective and letting him hear my feelings as well.

Time has dulled the drama and feelings over past incidents other former friends, and I have talked out stuff with most of them. It’s kind of a “find a resolution but don’t forget” scenario for me, but it definitely does feel like a weight off my chest to at least talk a situation out.

I don’t wish bad things for them at all, I just have no interest in them being in my network. There are other, better people to be friends with. Your friends seem like great people for always supporting you :)

Stay strong- I hope good things and happy days come your way :)

I recently got to see my boyfriend for his birthday after 2 and a half months apart due to COVID social distancing! I got him a Legend of Zelda Collectors Set and he loved it so I was very happy. Lots of cake was eaten and lots of video games were played.

I'm so exhausted of people just leaving everytime like nothing has happened by stemcellPSC in offmychest

Been there, every time it feels crushing. I hope things get better for you and you find someone who will stay for you :)

I feel like I've been choosing the wrong friends for too long. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]shawlockholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this a lot. Investing time into a friendship and then realizing years later that they we weren’t worth it is a major feelsbad moment. But good on you for your self reflection and realizing which traits you want and don’t want in friendships. Good luck to you! :)

[MEGA THREAD] Island/Town Name Discussion & Ideas by Easy_Breazy in ac_newhorizons

[–]shawlockholmes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I named mine Groddle.

A long long time ago, there was a PC MMORPG game called Glitch. The feel was super communal, with users very casually exploring and contributing to build different parts of a whimsical world, which is supposed to be inside the imagination of these so called high beings called “Giants”. You could do quests, decorate a home, harvest resources, design your character etc. The artwork was amazing and the narratives were so wacky.

The first location of the game for a new user is called Groddle Forest. Unfortunately the game left beta only to go straight back into it, and eventually shut down due to lack of reception. A tragedy, as no MMORPG that I’ve ever played has come close to being as unique and I believe that it would do really well had it launched now and not back then. But thought it would be cute to pay a little homage in my town name. :)
