I know. She is super nice too. In the past when this happens I’ve just kind of kept hanging out, but that’s not a good use of either of our time, and I’m just wanting an authentic connection.

Yeah, and kind of a shame. It’s so hard to meet people.

Can you experiment a little, see what happens? There are so many factors, but data is data.

I’m sorry you’re going through it! The symptoms are so close to my other diagnoses, it would be easy to confuse them. But the language loss is really hitting my confidence, esp at work. /o\

Right? Feels like I’m sleeping all the time without it really helping much. I will look into hormones—anything to move the dial a bit. Thanks for the insight; I wouldn’t have thought of perimenopause on my own.

Oh dude. That would be about right. Do you know anything that helps?

You are explaining this great and only someone with unkind intentions could possibly misunderstand. Thank you for doing this labor!!

I saw the same when I was driving school bus, like a fraction of drivers who just were not into it. And bus monitors especially who had no respect for kids. A real shame.

Looking back, I don’t know if she was just having a bad day or if I was a challenging kid or maybe she just had a diff way of seeing things…. I am actually quite lazy is the funny part!

The Hamilton cast didn’t even call Pence out. As I remember, they wrote up a polite message appealing to shared values and addressed him from the stage after the play. RW media portrayed it as an attack, but all they did was try to talk to him.

It’s way easier when there’s more to gain. I’ve decided to wait and let my savings improve, even if it means staying through the holidays. Feeling pretty all right with the decision.

It’s true! I just stress about the timing and health care and my savings haha. I think I need more time to save up, but I don’t want to work another High Holidays season. It’s taking some creative thinking.

Also today during someone’s presentation in a big room I fixed a projector problem and was hailed as a hero. It’s weird how I want to move away (weather notwithstanding); I feel like a part of the community but also like all my relationships are parasocial.

I’m sure we’ll be friends after I wind down the coaching, and that will be better.
I promised back on Twitter to stop talking about work bc it was turning into a well of negativity and that still stands. Just felt like an exception bc I feel so blah today and it might help, who knows.

I tried to tell her that when she gets advice she disagrees with she can just say thank you and change the subject and she told me reasons that would not work for her either. It was kind of a plea, but okay.

My coachee is an extremely nice person who responds to all advice, suggestions, and feedback by telling you the limitations of what you just said and why things you suggest wouldn’t work for her. She is utterly sincere. This isn’t helping my confidence via a vis communication rn.

Also I have not had a normal conversation with anyone except my sister in what feels like forever and it feels in the most realistic sense possible like I’m losing the ability to communicate.

That is the Wu Xie I adore. Also when you can’t be bothered to follow a plot, like I am frequently these days, Lost Tomb offers so much more.
