I get nervous whenever anyone mentions my future. Like i’lll be on calls and they’ll say things like “for next year” or “over the next few years” and I’ll get nervous. I think I’m a commitment phobic, does anyone else feel this way?

The things they are saying are just plans, and plans can change, especially in business.

Just listen to what they have to say, give it whatever consideration it deserves - and then later, if you leave before those plans happen, c’est la vie.

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Any thoughts abt married couple ?

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
