I feel the same way, but it's girl coded athletic activity that prohibits long nails. I'm semi-professional in it, but there are pretty much no men.

I don't have time to pick up another hobby, and feel disingenuous going to something like a run club which is a hobby that I'd be doing solely to meet someone and want to quit soon after.

Same! My main exercise I enjoy/of choice is all girls or gays lmao so while I love it and it’s a great workout, am not meeting anybody doing that 🥲 and other interests don’t overlap w straight men either lmaooo so meeting people irl seems very difficult

The gym, cycling groups

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

Is it common to get more and more conservative after highschool? Throughout high school I considered myself a leftist even at one point liking Bernie. But now over time I see myself getting more conservative. ( Not the anti mask/ anti vax kind) I seem to align myself more and more with individuals like Romney. Is this common?
