Follow-up to yesterday's post about being an adult but feeling like not an adult...

What ways have you learned to 'fake being an adult' in certain situations?

What are those situations and what did you do?

What's the intent behind the right vs. left Twix product marketing? I don't get the purpose of spending millions on product differentiation when the two bars are the same. It feels like a candy company inside joke. Does it make sense to you?

I found them in my lunch box today 😐. I’m mad that i just dropped $50 on a pair but i guess now i have backup ones????🙃🙃🙃

Note each position is on a different time zone. Don’t really care to stay at my current company any longer…but some things I should follow through on before leaving. 😩😩😩

5 years ago I was 300 pounds and had a 1.3 GPA. Now even though I have ~10% body fat and I’m pretty successful, I still have the mentality that I’m a fat loser and it prevents me from having any confidence with girls and I still have yet to go on a second date :(

Adopted a sweet, large dog last weekend. Have never felt safer walking in the dark than I have the last five days with him. People see him and turn away/cross the street/give me so much space. As a young woman who has been attacked and mugged before, it’s truly something.

My VP asked my fellow team member to take on a task simply because of her race to help them land a grant renewal. We’re both women of color but since I didn’t match the target audience I was not asked even though the task is on a project I am overseeing. We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

My husband and I used to be very affectionate. We used to take at least 2 hrs everyday just to give each other emotional space. We would talk about what we’re feeling and why and so on. It used to be so fulfilling and beautiful.
But since we had a kid, all conversations are with a purpose. It’s either planning the next day, the next move, finances, etc. Amidst this, we lost focus on each other.

Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this and got back to their original selves?
