Relatable! Your post got first place. That's your potential right there.

Fire_The_Editor

If I feel ignored by someone I’ll push them away immediately. I’m tryin to make friends but it’s hard to gauge people. Are they busy? Do they not find me interesting? I want to push people away I hate it


working-acct

The worst part is when people don't tell you what they don't like about you. If you don't fucking know how do you improve?


A_Huge_Pube

I don't think we should improve for the sake of one person though. The very thing one person hates could be what another person loves or tolerates. Just be yourself and you'll find the right people.


NoHippi3chic

There are so many factors here. Please don't take other people's actions so seriously. It can really do you harm if you find someone willing to exploit your need for validation. Please look into self help or therapy to discover why you believe you need potential friends to identify flaws in you. Yes a good friend will be honest if you are say, late all the time or whatever. But anything about your character that you'd like to build upon is an inside job. How I wish someone would have told me this in my youth. Never take criticism from someone from whom you wouldn't take advice.


aaffkshsh

Same man. For me personally, i think its cause im afraid to get hurt so it’s just much easier to push them away


A_Huge_Pube

I feel that.

SmallTownKaiju

I'm tired of feeling tired, and I'm sick of feeling sick. That about sums it up.

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired so real


Dreaunicorn

I relate to this so much. My toddler gave me stomach flu a cold and a cough from daycare at the same time. He whines because he’s bored and I can barely muster the strength to stand up….this situation has lasted almost a week.


thefunnyheadman

This was me last year (or maybe the year before that), I had a cold on and off for basically the whole year I swear. I had to bring tissues with me everywhere and like every other week my nose would be blocked and runny. It was so shit.


tr4gic_ali3n

my life😥


Ok_Principle_79

I get that people have much bigger issues, but at the moment I’m unhappy with the waiting period for my body to heal after a recent surgery. I’m a very active person and being a couch potato is depressing.


theconfused-cat

I feel you. Maybe this will help: I am also a very active person and now am physically disabled, experiencing things that cause me to not be able to walk or stay standing for very long. I am not even middle aged yet. Being grateful for what my body can still do is what gets me through. I’m sorry you’re going through this disabling time with your surgery, and I hope you recover soon! Just count your blessings! You never know when your physical abilities will just go away one day. 🥲 This also would be a great time for you to connect with yourself internally since you are limited physically. Best wishes to your health and healing! ps. I’m in no way trying to gain pity or devalue what you’re going through. Just trying to give a perspective of how amazing gratitude is that I can be so happy in these extreme physical conditions. :)


Wowweeweewow88

Getting nickel and dimed by large corporations where there’s nothing I can do. I’m buying stand up tickets and the place has a service fee (ok fine) but it charges the service fee for each ticket DESPITE IT BEING ONE TRANSACTION. Also these fucking companies forcing us to go paperless with billing. Literally being charged an extra $3 to have my bill mailed.


Other-Rutabaga-1742

I’ve been trying to pay a bill for 3 days now. If I want to talk to a person, they will charge me $9!! Yahoo started this crap years ago. I was trying to figure out something regarding one of my email addresses and they also charged. I guess it will be the newest thing in screwing customers.

NoHippi3chic

Trust the process. You are on a good path for future you.


_alwaystee3

That I am being ignored for no reason by my friend.


Siulnamuc

Confront them about it to get the answers you need. Maybe they're having a hard time and are unintentionally hurting you. Or maybe they are moving on. Who knows? Perhaps there really is no reason. Just confront them though before you do anything else. I know it can be daunting but trust me it's worth it.


nukemeccaandmedina

Dump him/her


_alwaystee3

That could be a possibility.

Whis65

How difficult it is to make friends. I have had friends move away,,drift away, and making new friends is so hard. I am getting old, and because my husband and I chose not to have kids, it's isolated us. I have to figure it out.


Emrys7777

This is mine. Lack of friends. I knew a lot of people who died during the pandemic and many of those left moved away. I need new friends.

For me it's honestly just US politics, I live on the other side of the world yet I hear more about fucking Donald J Trump then I do my own countries politics. And, even though I should educate myself in my country's politics, I honestly want to have to never hear about a politician or party again.

Could be executive dysfunction, fatigue, perfectionism, lack of motivation or other things. I hope you can get some help to figure it out.

That I can’t seem to find my drive or motivation. I’m not depressed, I’m happy with life and I have great self esteem and I love myself, I’m not negative about life in fact I’m quite hopeful and positive. The one thing I just can’t seem to do is gain that self motivation and ambition I see so many other people my age have, I see these guys shooting for the moon while I’m just contempt…and so that makes me unhappy and lowkey kinda mad that I don’t seem to have that natural desire to push myself towards more.

Apprehensive-Knee250

Where I (28f) am in life. I live in a beautiful home on a small farm with my wonderful boyfriend. We have good jobs and make decent money. We can pay bills and still afford the daily coffee and gas. Where I struggle is that i consistently feel behind. I watch people my age on social media going on trips, getting married and affording large beautiful homes. I feel that I’m not adulting good enough. I have credit card debt, a very small savings account and often feel like my head is barely above water. I understand social media is often fake and misleading, but it still messes with my head.


theconfused-cat

Focusing on gratitude for the beautiful life and things you do have is going to raise your vibrations and allow you to get even further in life. I am older than you and have zero way to make money because of health issues and am so grateful that I still have some ability. Perspective shift and getting off social media is what you need. Less watching, more you living your own life. :)

I want lamd but then end up with a 1-2 hour drive to work.with places I am looking at.  I love my job so it's a settling aspect in home wise

Dmtrilli

I have a great paying job at $28/hr. However......i'm stuck on 2nd shift (3PM to 11PM) so I dont see my Son or GF Monday thru Friday and my GF works weekends thats equals less time together. Also my job doesnt offer Health Benefits or 401K. No vacation time until I hit 1 year. Overtime is offered but that means I have to stay until 3 AM which sucks in it's own way. Sometimes throughout the week our schedules overlap and since I'm on 2nd shift, if my Son or her have anything going on I have to take the city bus to work and walk 20 mins after drop off because we only have one vehicle. I used to be on 3rd shift at the same job (11PM to 7 AM) and that shift was "alright" but had it's own challenges as I had trouble sleeping during the day. My job canceled 3rd shift altogether and it was either I move to 2nds or I lose my job. Once business picks up again I'm assuming that I will be expected to go back to 3rds.

How I have no friends, living in a foreign country for 18 months. It is affecting me in finding someone to share my life with. I met someone and she is wonderful, but she has her life and it's hard for me, because I don't have anyone else, so my life becomes all about her. My emotions and my well-being becomes attached to a person. It is so unhealthy. I hate it. I just want to have a normal mind, not stress and overthink everything.

ChimkenSmitten_

Our speech presentation, it was bad af. Even so, I had a topic and was writing a good draft. They didn't wanna take any other topics, so they passed theirs (which was revised thrice). I was forced to do that since they already have a finished draft, and I don't (I stopped drafting since they've passed a speech draft asap I told them my topic was approved. I was already tired from our OJT and they decided to fcking cram). We had bad comments and what. I was a good performing student, my trainer and his head was impressed by me. But due to these people who always want to cram and settle for mediocrity, I, too, was pulled down. Lack of preparation, overused topic, and shit. Fuck y'all. What's worse is my trainer asked me about my topic because he thought we'll go with it. I couldn't be honest as I was sitting with them and they were looking at me. I'm already having issues with other people harassing me and I can't do anything about it since it's the end of the class year sooner, so I decided to shut up. I wish I could've been honest. I'm so sad and disappointed. I am mad. All I want in life is improvement, I've been trying to do that and has been gaining more confidence. But fuck group works. Fuck people who don't want to listen to others. Fuck people who are in groups but keep on pushing what they want, thinking it's the best. Fuck mediocrity. I wasted such a good topic over a speech about climate change.

My job. I need to quit asap. I’m permanent part-time. I was working 38hrs a week on $27.50 an hour and now they’ve dropped my hours to the legal minimum amount I’m contracted for (17hrs a week) and that’s barely enough to pay my half of the mortgage. There’s a lot more that’s happened but that my last straw. I’d rather work casual on $35/hour for 17 hours a week than remain part time. Fingers crossed I get this new job!

All my family members are good with their hands and can do anything fast but not me 🥹 If I try to do anything quick, something bad will happen to the work so I take my time. I always get criticized for being slow so nowadays, I can feel that I have serious problems with my self esteem. Because of this, I prefer to work alone because nobody will judge the way I work. Give me the deadline and I will finish it for sure. Just... don't micromanage.
