I'm terrible at saying no, so instead I just say yes or be ambiguous enough that people take it as a yes. And I think it's taking a toll on my work recently. What's your advice? I'm afraid saying no is going to make the other person “lose face”, thus hurting our relationship.

Tips for returning to work post-sickness? Whole family has been juggling RSV, flu, and Covid for awhile and I’m trying to get back to work and feel a lot of anxiety about it.

Any tips on negotiating my raise? I have a check-in with a partner this week where we will discuss my raise. I just finished my first year at a consulting firm with ~4K employees. The average raise from first to second year seems to be 6.5% but I really want to gun for 10%. I have good reviews and the best chargeability metrics in my starting class.

I have a very dear friend who can’t seem to keep a relationship to save their lives. It’s a 1-2 year cycle (max 3), and the reasons to call it off are everything from boredom, to we don’t like to do the same things, to you name it. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s emotional attachment issues, or worse, and just curious to hear other people’s take. I care to see them happy and can’t figure it out. We are really close friends and not in our 30’s, so not young anymore.

Hi guys, just want to drop some gems about choosing a therapist. I’ve had seven. Please make sure you focus on what it is you want to gain from therapy, how engaging you want your therapist to be, their experience in treating someone with your background. I personally like empathy and honesty. In the past I had a therapist who I felt was reading from CBT/DSM text book. I’ve also had one who laughed at me and one who was very cold. Continue ⬇️

Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

How do you determine whether your inability to get out of bed in the mornings is due to depression or mere avoidance of all the crushing work and stress that awaits you? Still WFH and now beginning to get worried at how late I’m getting out of bed these last few weeks and feeling completely unmotivated to do anything.

So, does anyone else go crazy when you don’t take your meds on time? Or do you go through withdrawal symptoms when you skip a day?
