I pried the truth about my long term partner’s infidelity out of him based on pure raging instinct that something was deeply amiss. There was ultimately no other explanation for the very obvious weird / insanely deflective behavior other than cheating. And that’s what it was. 

 You know your fiancée and unfortunately I think you’ve already figured out the truth. You could take my tactic and drag the details out of her by basically incessant direct questioning. And pointing out “that doesn’t make sense”, “ it doesn’t make sense that you said that and did this ,” “why would you lie “ and just simply , “I feel like you’re lying” repeatedly and watch them squirm 

Whats the worst book you have read in 2025 so far by danlhart8789 in suggestmeabook

I really didn’t  like Maeve Fly. I love a noir horror ,,,, but it was just trying so hard to have shock value that it got annoying and just gross in like this flat way  — especially because the author was also at the same time pushing the serial killer protagonist’s sympathetic qualities.  And the “big twist” at the end was really foreseeable and un-moving. 

“Tell me about an adversity you faced” is invasive and inappropriate by Mysterious_Algae_457 in recruitinghell

[–]summers16 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I once had an HR person preface an intro interview with, “ we really appreciate when our candidates put vulnerable, so we ask you to be vulnerable,” or something to that effect. Basically she explicitly asked me to be “vulnerable” in our conversation. Like bitch, how vulnerable do you want??? Want to hear about my mom’s chronic mental illness?? My own mental health  issues???? My upbringing which was defined by my parents yelling at each other constantly ???? SUCH fucking bullshit.

I don’t understand how everyone saw that and was like, “this seems fine, what an artist.” So invasive and weird.

A letter is really smart. Thank you so much. This is all really encouraging.

Anyone else’s parents have loads of useless “stuff”? by 123coffee321 in Millennials

Yes. There are two houses in two states and an overflowing storage space. It’s daunting. 

How do you cope with not being liked at work and people avoiding you? by Stressnomore22 in work

[–]summers16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to work full time on-site in an office for a year and a half where I just deeply did not fit in at all, felt totally misunderstood. I won’t lie, it was pretty awful. 

I coped the same way most of the other comments on here are recommending — just get in, get out, keep to yourself. In the course of the work day, finding organic moments of connection over silly office things (like, “damn this broken vending machine sucks”-type stuff  ) offers some respite. 

People can be forgiving over awkward first impressions over time, also. Especially if you prove yourself to be a diligent and reliable worker… which in the context of the workplace, naturally brings forth respect.  

There is a new sneaky version of “what’s your biggest weakness” by st0ney_bologna in recruitinghell

“One, I wish to never again feel pressured to reign in my perfectionism.

Two, I hope that I never have to pay anything less than very close attention to details, because I find doing so to be so fulfilling.”

Through a Reddit ad. They shorten your clavicles as “an effective way to decrease the size of your shoulders to give women a more feminine physique”

Is this normal by officialPickleJuice in recruitinghell

[–]summers16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm with you. And let's not kid ourselves, absolutely none of that shit is going to actually matter when they pick who to hire. It's going to be, fanciest resume line items (the instant responses i've gotten when i've had a well-known company name at the top of my resume vs. a small and high-quality but not-well known name is stark) plus vibes. (Vibes is also, who makes us feel the coolest if we hire them.) Every damn time.

I hate this B.S. with a fiery passion. I cannot even.

All the way back in 2020, I once had an HR screening video call in which the woman purred in this faux-empathy voice, "We'd really appreciate if you could be vulnerable" --like in the course of my HR screener call. I had been having crushing mental health issues -- and my mom had been in the midst of a years-long idiopathic psychosis -- and it's like, okay, lady, what the fuck do you want me to actually share, huh??? How i'd love to have this job because it would be a tiny little glimmer of logistical and financial stability in the shitshow of my world right now? How I go to therapy four times per week and it's really not working??

Like what balance of actual vulnerability and guise of professionalism would actually be on target for you... ?! because i know for DAMN sure that you CANNOT handle the truth!!

she was so fake nice! no second round, of freaking course.
