2023.05.31 04:35 No_Egg_134 How to get over always feeling not good enough?
Hi the title says it all. I feel like I’m always pushing myself to do more, make more, etc and sometimes it’s good sometimes it’s not. Like right now I went back to school after being a training manager for a bit because I felt like I was worth more than just being a salesperson to make money for the gym. Now im studying business admin transfer to a four year for accounting. I have no other things I want to do, however I know I wouldn’t be happy working full time. I have a husband and a daughter, three dogs, and I’ve always worked part time because I do most of the house work, dinners etc. so it evens out. I know I wouldn’t be happy at a 9-5 desk job so why do I keep forcing myself to do these classes and go to university even though I have to take out loans to do so. I could go train again, or im a bookeeper rn I could become full charge. Im just so lost and feel pressure to have a degree, make more money, when im at family friend events my family friends don’t ask me anything about my career or anything but they ask all my other friends who are uni grads… and call their jobs “real grown up jobs”. Idk im ranting but I’ve been going through it.

2023.05.31 04:35 Kimfun23 My Saint Vincent review
Theodore Melfi directed Saint Vincent, a 2014 comedy drama film. It stars Bill Murray from Ghostbusters, Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts, Jaeden Martell, and Terrence Howard from Iron Man.
Maggie (Melissa McCarthy and her 12 year old son Oliver (Jaeden Martell) move in next door to Vincent (Bill Murray), a war veteran. Being a single mom Maggie has to work long hours so she leaves Oliver in the care of Vincent after school.
In the beginning of the film, Vincent had no desire to watch Oliver after school, however, overtime they started to bond. Its apparent Vincent doesn’t know how to take care of kids, since he takes Oliver places kids shouldn’t go such as a bar. Murray did an excellent job portraying a grumpy yet kind old man. I felt that the fact Vincent still visited his wife in the hospital after eight years of her not recognizing him showed the audience how much he still loved her. It was sweet how Oliver named Vincent a saint in his school project. In my opinion, it showed the bond that was created between the two.
I wouldn’t classify this as a comedy due to how sad it was but it still had its funny moments, for example when Vincent ran over his mailbox with his car. This film was sad, funny, and sweet and if you like that combination you might like this movie. As for my opinion, it’s sweet just not what I was expecting with these actors. I was expecting more of a cute and lighthearted comedy.

2023.05.31 04:29 Courageous_Movie AITA for faking to be fired when customers become angry with me
work part-time at a coffee shop on weekends while I'm in high school. My coworkers on weekends are John, who happens to be the owner's son and also goes to my school, and Danielle, a college student who occasionally works on weekends too. We often encounter customers who get unreasonably angry about minor things. It's perplexing how someone could blow up over such trivial matters. I wonder if they're already in a bad mood and just looking for someone to vent their frustration on. It happens quite frequently, and it's disheartening to see grown adults taking out their anger on high school and college kids. So, John and I were joking around one day about finding a way to handle these situations and hopefully get these angry customers off our backs. One day at work, a man got really upset about the coffee not being hot enough, even though I served it to him directly from the machine. John stepped in and asked the guy if there was a problem. The customer started ranting at John as well. That's when John acted sternly and said, "OP, this is unacceptable. You're fired." I immediately pretended to be devastated, begging him not to fire me and pleading about my family needing the money and how much I relied on this job. John continued with the act, playing the tough boss, telling me to take off my apron and leave. Surprisingly, the angry customer started backtracking, saying it wasn't such a big deal and that I didn't deserve to be fired over it. John responded, "No, we take pride in providing the best customer service." After all the drama, it turned out to be a staged event. I still had my job; we were just pretending. We've done this a few times now, whenever a customer loses their temper at Danielle or me, John storms in and "fires" us. Almost every time, the person who was angry ends up apologizing and realizing the consequences of their actions. It's quite satisfying to make them understand the impact of their behavior. When I shared this story with my friends from school, a few of them thought it was a mean prank to let someone believe they got a struggling individual fired because they desperately needed the money.

2023.05.31 04:29 Definitley_Luke A few questions about the maritime industry
Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to read this and maybe replying. I am thinking about maritime as a career. I am only 17, but I want to make sure this is what I want before I pursue anything. How do you like your jobs? Is “going around the world” that common? Is it easy to get a job on a cargo ship going around the world like that? Is being a maritime engineer hard? (I live in the USA btw., Washington) I am confused about how the maritime schools are set up. Would the Seattle maritime academy let me work as an engineer? Also I have heard there are two types of engineers- the techs and those that design the boat. I want to work on a ship, however I read that the techs aren’t paid as much. I hope you could help me with all these questions it would mean a lot. Thanks so much!

2023.05.31 04:28 Far-Introduction9891 Years towards service
I recently turned down an awesome job at another district because it would have been an $8000 pay cut. With 16 years, and 2 masters degrees, I just couldn’t validate taking that big of a cut in pay.
Can someone explain where this practice came from. I mean the actual evolution and history of only offering a certain amount of years of service to incoming experienced teachers. It’s absolutely insulting.
I changed districts 4 years ago, so it wasn’t a complete shock. But the district I interviewed for is a high SES community, so I thought there would be more wiggle room. This drop in pay doesn’t happen with admin, principals, or superintendents. What is the deal?

2023.05.31 04:26 throwaway382934344 I'm 52F and struggling with major resentment from my now adult[32] child, am I really in the wrong?
This issue has been a big problem that seems to worsen as the years go by.To summarize, I got pregnant at 19 and had very little support. Never liked kids but having an abortion never really entered my mind. My own mother was a toxic nightmare and my father was out of the picture. After I gave birth the relationship with the child's father (who was over 10 years older than me) disintegrated due to him being violent and becoming addicted to drugs. I chose to go low contact with him for essentially the rest of his life. He never shook the drug habit.
Growing up, my child was rebellious and seemed to have a lot of problems fitting in and displaying sometimes bizarre behaviour. Some rebellious behaviour is normal for all kids, but I found it to be a lot being a single parent with no support and constantly working. I worked so damn hard my entire life. The child was belligerent often and as a teen started self harming, attempting suicide and generally being hard to handle. They struggled in school but also excelled in some areas, even had teachers who went out of their way to praise them. I couldn't afford extracurricular activities or anything of the sort and nothing could be pursued. When they were 14 or 15 they revealed they'd been SA'd by a trusted family member multiple times as well as by two other men who were friends with the father. At first I didn't want to believe it and I'm embarrassed to admit I did say right to them that it was probably lies. I eventually reflected further on this and read books about SA (this was before internet articles were really a thing), talked to some family and friends and I came to believe my child 100%. Police were called, an investigation started and the SA was admitted by the offending parties. I have come to believe this SA severely damaged the child and was the reason for a lot of the behaviour; they deny this and say they've moved past it. I don't believe them.
I was always just scraping by. I got a really good job offer in another city and felt it was a whole new path of potential for me, almost like freedom. However, tolerating my child was wearing on me a lot. I decided to legally abandon them to children's services. I started by getting them involved due to the sexual abuse and eventually this just felt logical. I was about to move on with a high-stakes career and would be moving quite far away. After going to court and giving up parental rights, the child spiraled and has not really ever gotten on the right path themselves. They've only ever had one job and they claim they have really bad dissociation, ADHD and depression they can't shake. I find it honestly pathetic they can't pull it together at 32. I do have a lot of guilt about it all, but I had to do what was right for me.
It's come to the point where every time we speak it almost feels like there's an underlying current of resentment, hatred and like at any moment there could be an argument. I've apologized many times, they have said they accept the apology but when we do argue they say how what happened with children's services messed them up and I just get pissed. I was in children's services in the 70s and know all about it, and it was a horrible experience. Regardless - how many times are they going to make me re-live this? Recently they said just because something bad happened doesn't mean you just go forward in life pretending it didn't happen and I agree, but just hearing about it puts me right on edge. I never want to hear about it again. I did what I had to do.
Going no contact seems like the best option. But I wonder, am I really a monster if the decisions I made were what I felt was best? I felt like LEGAL abandonment was what was for the best for both of us.

2023.05.31 04:23 tgmarie137 Cruella strikes hard this time
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've last posted here. For anyone not familiar with my story, my JNMom, aptly dubbed "Cruella", has been quiet for a while. I thought we were making headway, and boy was I wrong. Buckle up, cause this is going to be looooong.
I got engaged to FDH in August of last year, and Cruella was thrilled. I'm her only child, and for the longest time, we had a very enmeshed relationship. She quickly got me a budget to work with, and I've been planning since then. FDH's family also provided us a budget from their side as well. Cruella also created a separate budget just for my dress.
Cruella came to visit me in February to go dress shopping with me and my FMIL who is absolutely JY most the time. This trip was an absolute nightmare. First, Cruella gets a hotel 45 minutes away from where we live and expects us to see her daily. Turns out, she and JMDad were here a few days early to go house shopping since they are thinking of moving back to our state. As a reminder, they moved to another state a couple of years ago as a knee jerk reaction to us getting a cold snap, and now ironically enough, Cruella works at the House of Mouse. Turns out that they moved because they expected me to follow, and when I didn't, they realized they may not get to see any future grandbabies whenever they wanted, so they started looking to move back. On the last night that JMDad was in town (he was flying out to let us ladies do some dress shopping), we had dinner with them at a very nice restaurant, which is a disaster I may need to post about on a later date. FDH and I were informed of the house hunting, which we promptly shut down. I let Cruella know that we are following FDH's job. He's only sticking with his current job for the PTO for our wedding, but then we are both job searching and house hunting. Cruella was not pleased with this, but eventually agreed it wouldn't be a good idea to move here just for us to move right as she gets here.
Wedding dress shopping will also need to be another post. Cruella was for the most part supportive, but she kept finding ways to try to start drama with FDH's family who I defended tooth and nail. On the second day, FMIL couldn't join us, so it was just Cruella and me, and we had a spat on the way to the first bridal boutique. I only got her to snap out when I told her she was ruining the say yes to the dress moment, and since it's a show Cruella obsesses over she stopped. During lunch though, we had a heart to heart, and I laid out all of my issues with her, especially that she never took any ownership of the shit she put me through as a kid. She seemed receptive and told me about some marital issues she is having with my dad. I told her I've played therapist since I was in middle school, which was never fair to me. I told her she and JMDad needed to go to couples counseling and get their shit sorted out because I would not let them ruin my wedding with their drama. Once again, she seemed to understand, acknowledge, and actually gave me what seemed to be a genuine apology.
That all went out the window when we came back after dress shopping, and my mom proceeded to get druuuuunk at my place on all my wine and started picking fights with me. One of the arguments was she wanted me to share a bed with her since she had checked out of her hotel (FDH and I offered to let her stay with us without expecting her to accept. Not a mistake we will repeat). FDH was sleeping on the couch, and I was staying on an air mattress. She said it would be more comfortable sleeping in the same bed. When I declined, she threatened to sit on me and tickle me until I peed. I used to have a bladder issue when I was a kid, not due to trauma or anything, just an issue I grew out of, and she has threatened me with that ever since. FDH told me after this happened that had she tried it, he would have pulled her off of me and kicked her out. She was one wrong move from getting kicked out, and I think she knew it cause she backed down.
So here I am in the present thinking that everything is going great when I get a text from Cruella telling me that she is feeling confused about something. She starts sounding more agitated with each text, so I just call her and ask her what she is getting so mad about. Turns out, she really doesn't like FFIL because he jokingly said he didn't want to get an appetizer she wanted BACK IN FEBRUARY. She's been holding onto this grudge for MONTHS! I told her that I didn't want to hear her complaints about the 2 times she's met him because he is a wonderful man who has helped me out tremendously and treated me like his daughter. Then she got into the REAL reasons she was annoyed.
FDH and I have a destination wedding planned. We aren't rich by any means, but we are careful with our money. We were setting up a shuttle to get us from the airport to the venue/hotel which is 1.5 hours away. Cruella said she was fine with taking a train. I told her she could do what she wanted, but there are train strikes going on, and I wanted to do something nice by paying for the transportation to make sure everyone got there ok. This past weekend, FFIL stated he was going to get a rental car and take FDH's brother and his SO to the venue so that we only had to worry about setting up a ride for my parents, me, and FDH. I told my mom about it and said that FFIL was taking one for the team to help us save money on that. Cruella didn't like this and said she had offered to do the same thing in the beginning, and now it feels like she's a burden. She thinks that when we told her in February not to move, we were treating her like a senile grandma who can't make her own decisions anymore. I don't talk to her about wedding planning at all and just expect her to pay for everything.
She's taking the train to get to the venue, and I told her that's on her, but if she is late or misses any of the associated events, I would be furious with her. We weren't trying to manage her or treat her like she was senile, just dropping some facts on her to make sure she made an informed decision when moving. And I tell her about wedding planning with every call I make to her. The real reason she wasn't happy about the wedding planning? I wasn't asking for her opinion! And there it is. She wants control over wedding planning. I don't need her opinion. I told her I'm happy to keep her in the loop, and I'm giving her the same info as FMIL. She had the audacity to say "I'm your mother! I should get more than FMIL!" What? She then told me we needed to talk more about the budget. I informed her that I was still well within the budget and that I was needing to get assistance with a few things soon.
FDH's ring? No, that's my responsibility since he paid out of pocket for my ring. Fair enough. My dress alterations? I no longer get a separate dress budget, and it's now part of the main wedding budget because I need to wear something to the WEDDING. Travel costs? That should come out of our honeymoon budget because it's for travel. How are we getting to the wedding again? Because of these changes, we are now having to significantly cut back on our honeymoon. 2 week trip? Nope! It's now 1 week. Fun sight seeing tours? Nope! Those are gone now. I specifically made sure that everything was under budget to take care of unforeseen things. We don't want to touch the money FDH's family gave us because that is for a down payment on a house.
FDH and I are fuming. We are only a couple of months from the wedding, and we are reeling to try to make this work. I was so shocked by Cruella that I didn't have a rebuttal for her for any of her budget changes at the time. This is pure retaliation. FDH said after the wedding, he's done and going NC with Cruella, and honestly, I'm going to join him. I will never forgive her for this. She's put me through so much shit growing up, and I thought the wedding that she always promised me growing up would be what she would be most agreeable on. I KNEW better. I've read similar stories on this subreddit. We wanted to elope, but I said no because I wanted the wedding and knew Cruella would turn into a fucking disaster if there was no wedding. I feel so stupid for walking right into this trap, and I can't even back out because we are locked into everything. Now we are trying to figure out how we are going to do this without dipping into our future house fund.
We are definitely going NC with Cruella, if not for the same amount of time that she lead me on with our "budget", then most likely forever. She will never get to be alone with our kids, and at this rate, she will never meet them. Guess it doesn't matter where she moves to now.

I got engaged to FDH in August of last year, and Cruella was thrilled. I'm her only child, and for the longest time, we had a very enmeshed relationship. She quickly got me a budget to work with, and I've been planning since then. FDH's family also provided us a budget from their side as well. Cruella also created a separate budget just for my dress.
Cruella came to visit me in February to go dress shopping with me and my FMIL who is absolutely JY most the time. This trip was an absolute nightmare. First, Cruella gets a hotel 45 minutes away from where we live and expects us to see her daily. Turns out, she and JMDad were here a few days early to go house shopping since they are thinking of moving back to our state. As a reminder, they moved to another state a couple of years ago as a knee jerk reaction to us getting a cold snap, and now ironically enough, Cruella works at the House of Mouse. Turns out that they moved because they expected me to follow, and when I didn't, they realized they may not get to see any future grandbabies whenever they wanted, so they started looking to move back. On the last night that JMDad was in town (he was flying out to let us ladies do some dress shopping), we had dinner with them at a very nice restaurant, which is a disaster I may need to post about on a later date. FDH and I were informed of the house hunting, which we promptly shut down. I let Cruella know that we are following FDH's job. He's only sticking with his current job for the PTO for our wedding, but then we are both job searching and house hunting. Cruella was not pleased with this, but eventually agreed it wouldn't be a good idea to move here just for us to move right as she gets here.
Wedding dress shopping will also need to be another post. Cruella was for the most part supportive, but she kept finding ways to try to start drama with FDH's family who I defended tooth and nail. On the second day, FMIL couldn't join us, so it was just Cruella and me, and we had a spat on the way to the first bridal boutique. I only got her to snap out when I told her she was ruining the say yes to the dress moment, and since it's a show Cruella obsesses over she stopped. During lunch though, we had a heart to heart, and I laid out all of my issues with her, especially that she never took any ownership of the shit she put me through as a kid. She seemed receptive and told me about some marital issues she is having with my dad. I told her I've played therapist since I was in middle school, which was never fair to me. I told her she and JMDad needed to go to couples counseling and get their shit sorted out because I would not let them ruin my wedding with their drama. Once again, she seemed to understand, acknowledge, and actually gave me what seemed to be a genuine apology.
That all went out the window when we came back after dress shopping, and my mom proceeded to get druuuuunk at my place on all my wine and started picking fights with me. One of the arguments was she wanted me to share a bed with her since she had checked out of her hotel (FDH and I offered to let her stay with us without expecting her to accept. Not a mistake we will repeat). FDH was sleeping on the couch, and I was staying on an air mattress. She said it would be more comfortable sleeping in the same bed. When I declined, she threatened to sit on me and tickle me until I peed. I used to have a bladder issue when I was a kid, not due to trauma or anything, just an issue I grew out of, and she has threatened me with that ever since. FDH told me after this happened that had she tried it, he would have pulled her off of me and kicked her out. She was one wrong move from getting kicked out, and I think she knew it cause she backed down.
So here I am in the present thinking that everything is going great when I get a text from Cruella telling me that she is feeling confused about something. She starts sounding more agitated with each text, so I just call her and ask her what she is getting so mad about. Turns out, she really doesn't like FFIL because he jokingly said he didn't want to get an appetizer she wanted BACK IN FEBRUARY. She's been holding onto this grudge for MONTHS! I told her that I didn't want to hear her complaints about the 2 times she's met him because he is a wonderful man who has helped me out tremendously and treated me like his daughter. Then she got into the REAL reasons she was annoyed.
FDH and I have a destination wedding planned. We aren't rich by any means, but we are careful with our money. We were setting up a shuttle to get us from the airport to the venue/hotel which is 1.5 hours away. Cruella said she was fine with taking a train. I told her she could do what she wanted, but there are train strikes going on, and I wanted to do something nice by paying for the transportation to make sure everyone got there ok. This past weekend, FFIL stated he was going to get a rental car and take FDH's brother and his SO to the venue so that we only had to worry about setting up a ride for my parents, me, and FDH. I told my mom about it and said that FFIL was taking one for the team to help us save money on that. Cruella didn't like this and said she had offered to do the same thing in the beginning, and now it feels like she's a burden. She thinks that when we told her in February not to move, we were treating her like a senile grandma who can't make her own decisions anymore. I don't talk to her about wedding planning at all and just expect her to pay for everything.
She's taking the train to get to the venue, and I told her that's on her, but if she is late or misses any of the associated events, I would be furious with her. We weren't trying to manage her or treat her like she was senile, just dropping some facts on her to make sure she made an informed decision when moving. And I tell her about wedding planning with every call I make to her. The real reason she wasn't happy about the wedding planning? I wasn't asking for her opinion! And there it is. She wants control over wedding planning. I don't need her opinion. I told her I'm happy to keep her in the loop, and I'm giving her the same info as FMIL.

2023.05.31 04:20 Piccolo1103 Ending my relationship
This is kind of a personal issue, but I'll explain as best as I can. I know full well that this problem can't be solved immediately, but I think reaching out and hearing what other people have to say will help me wrap my mind around this.
I am almost 22 years old, grew up in a sheltered household as the oldest daughter of a religious immigrant family. My parents worked very hard to raise us and give us all we need to be happy and to get a higher education. I just graduated with a biomedical science degree, and plan to continue my education in pharmacy.
I have not had a relationship throughout all those 21 years, as I kept being told that I shouldn't rush anything, and that I should focus on myself and my education. I agreed with that mindset and worked on myself and my image the whole time. I was happy with that, and listening to them was easy. I felt like I never had time for a relationship anyways. Fast forward to my current job, a year and a half ago I met this guy of a different ethnicity who works at the same place as me. Him and I connected immediately, but we didn't start talking until months later. So far it has been almost 9 months of talking to each other every day. At this point I am confident enough to say that I love him, as I have given so much time into thinking about us together. We have spent countless days together, I have so many good memories and moments with him. All of our interests line up, our beliefs, our hobbies, our thought processes. He is serious about a future with me. He's finishing up university as well to get a better job and start saving money for us while I'm still in school, and even offered to go to church with my family every week.
My parents didn't want to meet him at first (I knew I would have trouble getting them all in the same room). They didn't like that he had divorced parents, nor did they like the different cultures. After asking them about 3 times over 6 months, they finally agreed to meeting him. I thought it went well... They didn't like a lot of things about him. Some of those things were things he couldn't control (despite him trying his best and having good intentions in everything in life). And while some of it were fair concerns, I noticed a majority of it were things that didn't seem like a problem. For example, they didn't like the fact that he was talking more than usual; even though it was explained that he was more nervous and anxious than usual (which is fair enough, being put in front of parents who already didn't like him).
They told me straight up that we weren't going to work together. They want to meet him one last time to let him know that. I'm sad and I'm scared. I don't want us to end right now. I should have never brought it up to my parents. Most of all I'm sad I didn't get a choice in the matter. Because even though he's a good man who loves me and wants to work hard for us to be together, my parents only see him as someone with trauma and a statistic ("people with divorced parents are more likely to divorce"... even though both his grandparents are still together and he despises how divorce ruined his childhood). And decided that fact based off of one meeting, he had no potential.
My parents are starting to get angry and frustrated with me. I am devastated to end this off. Thinking about everything we're to lose, I genuinely don't think I'll be the same if I stop talking to him. All the friends that we spend time talking to, the work environment, etc. And worst of all, losing him is something I'm so scared of. I don't know what to do anymore. I want my parents to be happy, but they are in the mindset that they know best. It's like my feelings mean nothing to them. They treat this like 'everything I ever worked for in my life will be ruined' if I stay with him forever.
If any of you have gone through something similar, please let me know how you got through it. I don't know what to do. I don't get a choice anymore.

2023.05.31 04:20 HermanRorschach Please help advise me on a path forward. 0 outside resources
Here's the jist: I would like your help on determining whether I should apply this cycle or next. Using the information provided below, please tell me what next steps you would take if you were me. Please ask any questions you have and I can clarify.
I wanted to get into at least a mid tier MD school so that I could be competitive for a radiology (is this foolish?)
MCAT score (509)
Volunteer: ~15 hours
Research technician: ~1275 hours (no papers/ publications/ presentations yet)
I currently work full time as a research technician at the VA in a position that I do not very much enjoy in a new city that I am not connecting with. I've been there since September of last year and the lab is small and very slow moving. I feel bad for my PI if I leave around a year.
If I retake the MCAT, I feel that I would need to take time off at least. However my parents don't understand or very much support this. But if end up leaving and studying for a few months, I could move and pick up a job that helps me gain experience clinically and or in volunteering (which to my understanding is something I am lacking).
Lastly, I'm very disappointed in my score considering I was scoring much higher than this previously. I'm worried that a 124 prevents my admission from many MD schools. I really don't want to study for the MCAT while working full time again. That shit *drained* me and I mean it. At the same time I also am not thrilled at the idea of waiting another year to apply.
Thank you for your help.

2023.05.31 04:20 Heretoknowthings Curious why I wouldn’t be accepted into 2 MBA programs
Just discovered this sub after being turned down twice now after applying to PSU, and UF
I’m active duty military in a position of much management and leadership, had a bachelors from UNC-Wilmington, good LoR, background and resume starting from 16 YO with a solid amount of management experience and a solid job history. My two knocks I can think of would be my gpa was just below a 3.0, and I have as of this month two years post grad work history. Would those be enough to get me rejected? Unclear on how it all works sorry if this is beating a dead horse. I’ll open my options a little more next year but those were my two top schools, and very good for online (and veterans). Any advice or help is appreciated.

2023.05.31 04:18 Leather_Catch_5854 I'm so done with being so lonely.
I play video games, mess with electronics, mountain bike, and scuba dive. All of which are male dominated. With video games, I mostly play male dominated games or single player. I'm no longer over seas on a deployment, I'm just empty. I no longer have any friends I hang out with at all. All I have are my immediate family to talk to. I'm on tinder but everyone here knows how bad that is. I get a match twice a year if I'm lucky and my ADHD comes out and poof, unmatched. I'm not handsome, but I'm not repulsive. I'm fit...ish. I don't drink and I just feel so stuck. Tomorrow I'm going back to my old college to hang out with the one friend I've kept in touch with since then. I didn't even make it a year.
Truth be told I can meet people fairly easily on games like valorant, but drama always comes up almost immediately that I join a group. I'm a mediator ofc so I just have to get my fucking nose in there and then they are gone again.
I'm 23, male, and dying on the inside. I've held hands with one two girls in middle school. I've hung out with friends out side of school exactly twice in my life. I've never hugged anyone that wasn't family, nor have I had my first kiss. I see myself slipping. I have no job, not training, not doing anything at all. I don't want to be like this. Someone please just help me. I have a therapist but everytime we meet I feel better, or at least well enough to not want to inconvenience them with this dumb shit.

With my first internship I expressed a desire to continue on in the company but they mentioned that they need someone with more technical skills such as SEO and Google analytics.
Before even graduating I applied to another position in a non profit. The job has been absolutely perfect and they even allowed me to start part time despite it being a full time position because I was still in school. After having worked there for 2 months I was supposed to have an assessment after which I would transition into full time but they told me that they need someone with a coding background and told me I could continue part time at 20$/hr.
So I have started looking into the MIT professional certificate in coding. It is a 6000$ beginner program and they obviously accept everyone so I don’t know how much it would mean in terms of credentials. That being said every job I have tried to apply for has expressed that they need someone with more web development knowledge and I don’t think it makes sense for me to accept work at 20$/hr given that I just finished my bachelors and live alone in toronto.
My plan is to continue part time and complete this one year online course and then try to look for a full time position after that. That being said , I’m 23 and don’t feel like I have time to waste. A firend told me that these online courses are a waste of time and money and don’t count for a lot in job applications. He suggested that I continue looking for work and teach myself to use Wordpress but I feel the jobs I currently qualify for are not sufficient. I also attended a public university if that helps and my degree only included writing papers and researching. Absolutely nothing tech related.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

2023.05.31 04:15 Pickles0X An instructor said I shouldn't have gotten my PPL just after my checkride
I got my PPL yesterday!! The DPE diverted me to another airport near my school where another aircraft from my flight school was doing pattern work. After my landings, the DPE told me "good job" and then we proceeded to do maneuvers. Everything was within standards, and once we landed back at the home airport, DPE patted and told me it was a good flight. Proceeded to go tell my instructor he did a good job. Today I learnt that the instructor who was in the pattern with us has been telling everyone that my landings were very rough and he shouldn't have passed me. I felt really bad. I worked really hard for this, and now I feel like I did not earn it. Not that I am seeking external validation, but then it really hurts. I am second guessing myself and I am thinking about taking a break before starting with instruments.
