I have never prospected from family or friends. My fear has been if something happens, which is supposed to happen (market pullback), it strains relationships. Anyone have success tho?

I’m going to ask this because I’ve been teetering for quite some time on offering and I’m sure it will also help the OP. Most of my family does not live in the same town/city. Would sending a letter snail mail or an email expressing your desire to help be better than calling or texting and making it awkward?

Not sure if this is an ADHD symptom or a form of avoidance that’s specific to me but since I’ve started working, I feel physically incapable of keeping up with my friendships and relationships, like the bandwidth is completely gone. I never felt this way in law school/ever before but now I’m going ages without responding to texts and I’m starting to really see some strong friendships fall to the wayside. The thing is if I had anything to give, I would!

Am I the only 1 that is just tired of all the activism? It’s not that I don’t agree with many of the causes or that I see Change is Needed and Action is Required to achieve it. It’s just I’m exhausted from the extreme passion of activism that seems to be never ending in the current era. It just seems like every conversation I have with any friends they are passionately pursuing a mission of activism they want me to jump on board with them on and I’m just tired.

Boyfriend has seemed to be dropping a ton on me lately, even after I got bad news that my company is t doing so hot this week and layoffs are approaching.

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.
