Been I'm a new city for almost 3 years now and still haven't made any close friends.

female here...I feel like quarantine is driving me crazy and I’m looking for a distraction. Recently married but I don’t feel that sense of completion...I’ll admit I’ve always been one to stray but now I’m looking for an outside comfort more than ever. But even more so on top of that I think I’m struggling with feelings of being bisexual and never properly exploring it

Any Muslim moms here?

What are some myths you all have heard to figure out if you’re having a boy or girl?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Boyfriend and I have been dating for ~1.5 years and we still only spend weekends together. I want to move in together at the 2 year mark but bf thinks it’s too soon... just feels our relationship is stagnant and not going anywhere. Any thoughts from ppl who’ve gone through similar situations?

Big Law Dads: How much time do you usually take off when your wife has a baby? And do you actually get to take off, or do you just end up working from home half the time? My wife is due Mid-December, and I’m staffed on 4 M&A deals trying to close by year end, so it’s not looking promising.

I'm an engineer, and I feel like my manager is more of a friend than anything else. We talk about our personal lives, and I feel like it's hard to be completely honest with her when she's so casual with me. I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?

Good cologne to get my boyfriend?

Dads with older children: while raising your children, did your children prefer their moms over you? I know some will prefer dads over moms, but I assume majority of children out there will prefer their moms over dads… I have one child and it kinda hurts to see my child always preferring the mom over me. I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I just do. How did you cope with such issue raising your children?

I've submitted my latest paper to the largest journal in my field, but it's taking forever for them to review it. I feel like they're just stalling me because they don't want to publish it. But if they don't publish it, then who will? And what happens if someone else finds out about my findings before they're published?

do you have to say that some portfolio pieces are just portfolio pieces? (not real clients)

After 10 rounds of interviews for a TPM position the recruiter says he will set me up for team alignment, and then take it to HC for a decision. Is this the normal process? Isnt HC decision done first

I’m too lazy to post Instagram stories.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

If everything is “asap”, nothing is “asap”

When you have a really good interview on Friday and they say “look out for an update pretty soon”

*Refresh* *Refresh* *Refresh*

Already mid Monday and second guessing myself.

I had a dream about being naked in the office. Even my dreams are clichéd!

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

I just accepted an offer for a smaller niche shop in a smaller city and I'm so pumped about it. Hardly a confession, but I don't really have that many people I can share my excitement w/ before I quit

Hearing the sir Martin announcement today, makes you wonder if he is a crazy old guy or a brilliant marketer

Asking vendors for multiple triple bids for multiple potential campaign ideas before one has been chosen or approved by the client should be punishable by unremovable AirPods looping GaryVee podcasts.

I think all the directors working on my account are just plain dumb and over controlling. But I have nowhere to go, so i'll stick around for a bit.

I want to leave but I’m stuck in a lease signed in January. Everyone I know is moving home to work remotely and save money. I’ve never felt more stuck.

My personal life makes me want to die and work is my happy place ....

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

I’d trade my mountain view for “what are you watching on Netflix” by the coffee machine

I’ve gotten to the point that if I’m not completely slammed busy with work sweating my ass off, I feel bored and have caught myself before asking for more work, trying to remember to enjoy the lulls

It’s starting to get pitch black at 4:30.
Time to go home and fall asleep.
Sorry fam.

Clients look at me like I’m the agency research person and all I can think is “I want no part of your shitty concept testing because that’s not real research that will ever lead to anything insightful

I hate how my boss always goes on loooong monologue. What could take an hour of meeting turns into 3 hours.

Selfishly, I don’t want lock down to end. I’m enjoying not having to be in the office and the reduced pressure of a more low-key social life has been secretly quite nice. Anyone else?

Just left one agency for another, smaller one and feeling overwhelmed after the first week. How long before I start thinking I made the best choice?
