I moved at incredibly inopportune times when I was a kid, so I had a really hard time forging meaningful relationship and an even harder time maintaining them. On top of that, what few friends I’ve made in the time since seem to put significantly less effort/giveashit into the friendships than I do, which is exhausting and makes me want to trash the friendship entirely. Current estimates have me at probably a handful of friends and zero good/best friends. Any attempts I’ve made at making new ones have been fruitless endeavors. Just gotta keep leaning into the loneliness I suppose
Listening to political or news oriented podcasts makes you pretentious? Really? I can understand the label if say, you’re flaunting that you’re SO well read bc of the poddys or whatever, but listening to what interests you without bothering anyone makes you pretentious? C’mon now.
I’m honestly super jealous. I’ve been praying for a damn layoff just to get out of here. Considered taking a 45% pay cut just to get out of here. Glad to hear you found happiness upon your escape, it’s inspiring.
Been struggling with the [8] for a long time now. It’s honestly fucking with my happiness in every situation, but no matter what I do I can’t seem to break free. I had surgery in February and afterword I hit the job app trail, HARD. 60+ submitted applications later and I’ve heard back from three. All three rejected me. On one I didn’t even get past the filter. It’s so demoralizing and it makes me feel like I’ve just put my head down and worked my ass into a corner I can’t get out of. Sorry for the sob story, but if you take anything from this, it should be GET. THE. FUCK. OUT. at the first sign of a [6] or above. Maybe even a [5]. This shit sucks and I wish it upon nobody. /rant
Dating apps blow, waste of time and money. I’ve found exactly zero (0) meaningful connections in the span of roughly five years using them. However I am below the threshold of “handsome” that is required to succeed on these apps so I suppose this shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Fellow cynic, couldn’t agree more. Most people, including ‘close’ friends, don’t really care how you’re doing past the canned “good, you?” they are expecting. My close firends/siblings/family all fall into this category. Any attempt at opening up has quickly been shut down by me once I see the response I’m about to get.

Looking like an extra in the Walking Dead when deboarding your flight PGP
I’ll gladly take your place
agree but booze first
Big fan of this method. Add in some instrumental music on the headphones and you’ve nailed the trifecta

The only thing lower than my respect for Todd is his respect for himself. What a spineless lil bitch
Quitting on the first day of summer. PGPM

Got a new intern this week, the eagerness in his eyes has already begun to fade.Good.
The article would suggest he actually has a VW Passat (fourth letter I think)

Respect. Congrats on the future house!
I dig how you summer, fam
That’s fair, but an ETF will still leave you better off in the long run almost every time.
Not with these interest rates hombre
Just toss out a “Sup?” next time slugger
