When I was young, I was met with a lot of skepticism, dirty looks, and a lot of offhand comments about how I was a baby, I didn't belong with the big dogs and all that. But I soon showed them that I knew what I was doing, and could outwork them all. Those looks and remarks changed to admiration and respect. I didn't let it bother me, I just lowered my head and proved them wrong.

That’s awesome! You showed them!!

Terrible, I have had jokes made about menopause moodiness. My refusals to joyfully participate in endless unnecessary trainings , surveys, and self reviews have been attributed to my “boomerness” ****Iam not even close to a boomer , Im only 45! ****These Genx and late millennial punks think theyre funny and that they know everything. Super glad Im remote now but pretty sure my age, wisdom, and experience doesnt count for too much anymore

Wow that is definitely not ok. I’m glad it’s a lot better now for you.

Absolutely! Do new graduates feel the same as seasoned professionals? Where I work, if you’re over mid-40’s, you’re tolerated, but expected to continually clean up the messes. Ignored and disrespected. It’s a sorry situation. I feel trapped as I don’t want to change jobs (as if other companies wouldn’t discriminate) as I get closer to retirement.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better for you.

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

I need advice. I met an amazing guy on a dating app. We talked for 4 months and most of the convo was sexual. I fell so hard for him and it was because when we met up in person he was so kind, caring, and respectful towards me. He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?
