Every time I feel drained as a parent I remember my own mum and cry!

No one tells you that you will see yourself in your kids

I actually hate Working From Home (WFH) and I'm tired of pretending it's perfect

I know this is going to be unpopular on Reddit, where everyone seems to be a software engineer who loves staying in their pajamas, but I need to say it: WFH has destroyed my mental health.
When the pandemic started, I loved it. No commute, saving money on gas, cooking at home. It felt like freedom. But three years later, I feel like a prisoner in my own home. My living room is my office. My bedroom is my break room. There is no separation between "work life" and "home life." I wake up, sit at the computer, work until dark, and then stay in the same room to watch TV.
I miss the small human interactions. Saying good morning to the receptionist, grabbing coffee with a coworker, the decompreesion time during the drive home. I feel socially isolated and incredibly lonely.
Also, I feel like my career has stalled because I'm just a name on a screen, not a person in the room. Does anyone else feel like returning to the office (at least hybrid) would actually save their sanity, or am I just crazy?

Why do I have a bad feeling about telling a close relative about my project/something I am working on?

I have a bad experience with telling people things like my dreams, my projects, things I’m working on. I always feel like they want to sabotage me somehow.
I know what is meant to be will happen, and I know my intentions were good, so my heart should be at peace.
But I still feel like something is off.
I told some people very close to me how I truly felt and a project I’ve had going on for a long time now.
Before this, I was closed off with them. And honestly I can see why. I was mentally, physically and emotionally in a bad place. Extremely exhausted, underweight, not taking care of myself, everything.
And honestly? I’m recovering from this bad place. This college thing really destroyed me I won’t lie. I know it’s not the college but my perspective, though it is not that easy.
How can I stop worrying that I said something I shouldn’t have said?
I really feel that something is off, they were extremely supportive but I feel a sting of “I’d like her to succeed but not too much”
I’m frustrated. Irritated. I always feel like people don’t want my success. And if you tell me I am projecting, oh my God… I am anonymous on here, and I’m telling you, I really want everyone to succeed in ever

i (23F) am so so desperate

i want every somewhat attractive guy to like me. i like the attention of a guy asking me out or flirting with me, even if i don't like them. i don't even want a boyfriend, i am opting out of love and relationships it's best for me. i am desperate for my friends too. i like them all so much more than they like me. but if that ever swaps round i get uncomfortable. i try and hide how much i like my friends.
i thought finally getting a boyfriend would make it stop, but even when i was in a relationship, i was desperate for him. it literally felt like i had a crush on him and he didn't like me back but was just being nice. i was desperate to talk to him, to be around him, for him to want to text me and call me etc.
i've been called desperate before. i was introduced to a guy called jack through mutual friends and we all went clubbing together. the guy i had a crush on at the time messaged me saying he was going to the same club. when he arrived i was so excited, and dancing with him. i was all over him. jack whispered to me "stop, you look desperate". the guy i had a crush on started kissing someone else.
this same friendship group, had a houseparty a year later. i was in arthur's bedro

I like to enjoy my alone time

I've noticed that lately I enjoy being in my room, listening to the music I like and disconnecting from the outside world. I'm not talking about being lonely, I don't enjoy loneliness, I enjoy my privacy, which is different, and after recharging my batteries I go back to living with those around me

This really annoyed me and idk why

I was at work and this guy was talking to some people at work, the guy has a 'just fuck my shit up' hair cut (refer to Google for reference). The discussion was about socks, and someone said they change their socks every second day because they work in an office, kinda gross but not a big deal. Personally, I change my socks daily and like foot care. Anyway, the JFMSU guy left.
When I went to start work he was telling his team leader that the coworker doesn't change their socks daily. Yet, he was so fucking whiney about it as if he was a kid telling his school teacher. He was outraged the coworker didn't change their socks daily and acted as if the TL should be doing something about it. It annoyed me for being such a fucking crybaby. He should be reporting his barber more than anything else.

do you think that love is important?

i remember once i was reading a novel, and there were a couple, that we might call... umm, i don't know, friends with benefits? i guess? whatever, they both *don't* like each other. or *they* don't wanna admit that. one of them said "... my love" and the other said, "my love? i thought that you don't like me you said?" and the other one said i don't really mean it (the "my love" line) and said that not every single couple should actually love each other, love is not important in a relationship. respect is enough.
but, me, personally think that love is sooo important in a relationship, like why would two be in a relationship but they don't love each other? like, if there is no base, why would you build? and the relationship is not even a forced one, so what do you guys think? do you think that respect is enough?

Had an abysmal week, what do you do to recover?

So starting on Sunday, Ive had
- A flat tire on right side of my vehicle (fixed that up thankfully)
- Sprained ankle on Monday
- Had to get stitches in my finger on Tuesday due to a deep cut
- Understaffed this entire week so i’ve been stressed out
- Took my LSAT yesterday and didn’t think I did too hot
And as of right now, I am in a parking lot because I hit something in the road while on my way to work and my rims is gone on one tire, bent on the other, and i have another flat. I’m going to have to replace both tires and rims on both.
I’m trying to not lose it in the parking lot, but i’m struggling. Anyone got anything they do to recover from a no good, terrible, very bad week?

What's the one thing (even the smallest thing) that made your day?

Well, today I was walking around the building of my office, and I saw newborn, pink coloured puppies. My heart filled with happiness and pleasure, looking at the sight of those little ones sleeping in their mom's lap!
Curious to know about your experience too!
Do share your incidents too!

i fucking hate airports, airlines, people and planes

when i go to the airport, the only thing i think about is that this place is full of people, or rather, full of slaves and rules.
i detest crowded places. i detest people's noisy and irritating children and babies.
and i detest how limited its to bring a quiet pet with us when we have to. because of this damn rule, i couldn't even take my rabbit with me when i moved to another country.
i hate hate how live animals are carelessly transported in the cargo hold, treated like pieces of luggage..
even if animals go missing or get injured under these dreadful conditions, airlines are taking no action on this matter or refusing to change this stupid rule
i can't stand people and their rules.
planes are frightening
there is nowhere to escape at the moment of an accident, and its like a closed coffin

Ako lang ba, pero bat andaming gwapo sa Hong Kong! haha

I’ve been to Hong Kong multiple times already, but now even the Hong Kong nationals/uber drivers are cute, kamukha nila yung mga napapanood ko sa ReelShort/Dramabox haha, not to mention the young good looking AFAMs, tuwing winter lang ba sila lumalabas? :))
