Graduated college last year, and feel I’m growing apart from my old friends. Trying to make new friends but finding it’s hard to find “my people.” Has anyone else gone through this?

Yes. You will continue to go through this at different stages of your life. I’ve made new friends and kept the old from HS/College/marriage/cross-country move, etc.

My college friends are “my people.” We graduated awhile ago and live all throughout the US. We have a group text that we actively participate in (I’m talking daily even if it’s just a hello), make an effort to get together in a fun new location each year and call each other to catch up. It’s all about the effort you put in to keep those relationships alive and thriving.

Of course. You're not alone. Finding friends - real friends with whom you are truly comfortable and worry-free - are every bit as hard to find as a good match for dating. Sometimes you'll come across someone who you click with right away, other times you may struggle before you figure out if you've found a keeper or not. But you'll make friends wherever you go, somehow, sooner or later...it's just one of those pars of life that comes with not staying stagnant forever in the same place you were born and raised.

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?
